Crossbreed (band)

Crossbreed is an American industrial metal band from Clearwater, Florida, formed in 1996. They were signed with Artemis Records before being dropped from the label in 2003. The band released two EPs and three full-length albums before disbanding in 2010. The band reformed in 2021, playing two "rebirth" shows that year. The new single "N.F.G." was released, along with a music video in December of 2022. "The Killer Inside" released on April 20th, 2023.

Early years
Crossbreed was formed in 1996 as a four-man band consisting of James Rietz, Chris Nemzek, Charlie Parker & Travis Simpkins. A year later they added keyboardist Jason Troph who left in 1998 to front the Orlando-based band Irrational. He was replaced by Phil "Flip" Marquardt. Their self-produced album .01 was released in 1998 with only 1,000 copies made; the album featured a cover version of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak.

In 1999, Dan "DJ" Izzo (then under the moniker "D.J. Balistick") joined the band as their Turntablist/2nd Keyboardist. It was at this time that he began developing their stage show using black lights and glow paint, which helped bring the band to the attention of the music industry.

2000–2005
On April 29, 2000, Crossbreed played Tampa's 98Rock's radio festival, Livestock, where they met the girls from the band Kittie. They gave them a copy of their Babydoll EP, which found its way to the A & R Rep for Kittie's former label Artemis. Crossbreed was signed to Artemis by the end of the year and their debut album, Synthetic Division was released nationally on May 8, 2001. Their first single, "Underlined", debuted on MTV2 & MTVX. The video for that song was nominated for a Billboard Music Award. In the summer of 2001 they toured the U.S. and Canada with the German band Rammstein and did a short run with Static-X. Synthetic Division has sold to date a total of over 100,000 copies. In what would be a sign for the future, bassist Charlie Parker left the band after a show on April 20, 2002. Crossbreed then parted ways with their label in 2003 and after a show with Orgy on May 2, 2004, bassist Bishop, keyboardist "Flip", and drummer Simpkins left the band as well. Later that year, Izzo would also leave the band. James Rietz & Chris Nemzek chose to continue and re-form the band with new members.

2005–2010
With a new line-up and manager (Bill Aucoin, former manager of Kiss), Crossbreed spent their time writing new material and doing shows in Florida, including opening for Orgy, Mushroomhead, and Mindless Self Indulgence. On July 25, 2005, they released their self-produced EP New Slave Nation and toured the Midwest with Mushroomhead and Dope on the "Music for Freedom" Tour. The following spring, they went out with Nothingface and Silent Civilian for a brief time before dropping off the tour due to conflict. Since that time they have toured again with Mushroomhead as well as alone throughout the Eastern U.S.

As of May 14, 2008, it was noted on Subkulture's Myspace Blog that Kem Secksdiin (former touring bassist for Celldweller) was co-writing and performing numerous songs on the upcoming Crossbreed album.

In July 2008, Crossbreed opened up their own audio-visual recording studio. Dubbed "The Candy Factory", the studio was located in the warehouse district of Downtown Clearwater, Florida and served as the studio where Crossbreed's new record KE 101 was recorded.

In June 2008, Crossbreed signed with "Driven Music Group", the new label of ex-Korn guitarist, Brian "Head" Welch. According to the band's MySpace, KE 101 was scheduled to be released in late spring/early summer 2009 via Ryko distribution, but due to the company going under, they decided to sign with Crash Music, an affiliate of Driven Music Group. Due to this and several other issues, KE 101 was released on September 15, 2009.

Crossbreed played on December 17, 2010, at The State Theatre in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Hiatus and other projects
Frontman James Rietz released this statement on the band's hiatus:

"I will start out with nothing is official cause nothing stays gone, but, as of now, Crossbreed and its members will be moving on to other projects. We have had a great run, but after all these years, some of us have never had a chance to expand beyond Crossbreed.

Personally, Chris and I (James) have been doing this group on paper for 14 years and have never had a chance to do anything else. As some of you might know, we have our studio which will be running as usual, but there has to be a point where some journeys end to begin new ones.

Now, I’m not saying there will never be another Crossbreed show, I’m only saying that Crossbreed will no longer be the primary focus any longer for our members."

Members of Crossbreed James Rietz and Ian Hall teamed up with Tamara Kemp to form a band called "Shu-Tang". They released their first EP "Drink Til You're Hott" on March 1, 2011. In September 2012, they released a video for the song "Dance Like A Zombie".

Kem Secksdiin released solo album called [eMerGe-n-EvoLve] on January 12, 2010. The album features guest appearances from Crossbreed's singer James Breed on the song "Night (Replace The day)" and F@mu$ (aka Famus, also known for work with XXX Car Ride) for the song "rEZuRekdEAD".

2021–present
Crossbreed reunited in 2021, featuring the return of long time vocalist James Rietz and Ian Hall (Keyboardist/Programmer/Vocalist), for a live performance on July 3, 2021, in Cleveland at The Odeon. They partnered up with long time friends Rick Thomas (of Mushroomhead/Ventana fame) and Dan Fox (of Dope/Ventana fame) to revive the band in an event dubbed the 'rebirth show', that also featured co-headliner Ventana.

 * 1) Fascists in Christian Clothing: The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy — I created this trying to deal with systemic bias and was rather annoyed when this book article was deleted but many similar books were not which seemed to illustrate the differences between blocs voting on Islam related articles and those on Christian related articles.  After over a year things seem to be equalizing somewhat and relatively non-notable books like this are being deleted.  I still don't mind if such books exist, they should just not exist for critical of Scientology / Islam and not for Christianity or whatnot.
 * 2) French communes — Deleted because other templates were created in parallel that made copy and paste from fr easier.  Mine was created first, though :)
 * Malcontent

Etc.

List of English-language idioms of the 19th century

This is a list of idioms that were recognizable to literate people in the late-19th century, and have become unfamiliar since.

As the article list of idioms in the English language notes, a list of idioms can be useful, since the meaning of an idiom cannot be deduced by knowing the meaning of its constituent words. See that article for a fuller discussion of what an idiom is, and what it is not. In addition, the often-obscure references or shared values that lie behind an idiom will themselves lose applicability over time, although the surviving literature of the period relies on their currency for full understanding.

A

 * Abbot of Misrule – Lord of Misrule
 * admirable doctor – Roger Bacon
 * Attic bee – Sophocles, from the sweetness and beauty of his productions

B

 * bidding prayer – an exhortation to prayer in some special reference, followed by the Lord's Prayer, in which the congregation joins

Talk:Victor Silvester

Comment
I can't see why this has been tagged. He's a notable bandleader, the cited song was his signature tune... Sure it's a substub, but there's enough context and content there to allow for expansion, surely? If it wasn't 20 to midnight and I had other things to do I'd make a start on expansion myself. Tonywalton | Talk 22:39, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

And after a mere four months, that wish is fulfilled :-). I created this stub because I deleted his wikilink from Ardingly College, in the belief that since he'd been deleted as non-notable, his wikilinks should go too. After Necrothesp explained that he was notable I made this stub to make sure that someone didn't make the same mistake as me (this time with the trifling claim to notability of the 75 million sales included). The All Music Guide gives plenty of potential for expansion for those who are actually interested in him. --Malthusian (talk) 00:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment One issue that needs to be resolved is that AMG says he left Trinity College and not Ardingly College, though plenty of sources connect him with Ardingley. Perhaps he studied music at one and went to school at the other. --Malthusian (talk) 00:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, Ardingly was only one of three schools he went to, according to his entry in ODNB. Trinity came later, after the war; he studied harmony there. Woblosch 23:12, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Office of Technology Assessment

The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was an office of the United States Congress that operated from 1974 to 1995. OTA's purpose was to provide congressional members and committees with objective and authoritative analysis of the complex scientific and technical issues of the late 20th century, i.e. technology assessment. It was a leader in practicing and encouraging delivery of public services in innovative and inexpensive ways, including early involvement in the distribution of government documents through electronic publishing. Its model was widely copied around the world.

The OTA was authorized in 1972 and received its first funding in fiscal year 1974. It was defunded at the end of 1995, following the 1994 mid-term elections which led to Republican control of the Senate and the House. House Republican legislators characterized the OTA as wasteful and hostile to GOP interests.

Princeton University hosts The OTA Legacy site, which holds "the complete collection of OTA publications along with additional materials that illuminate the history and impact of the agency". On July 23, 2008 the Federation of American Scientists launched a similar archive that includes interviews and additional documents about OTA.

History
Congress established the Office of Technology Assessment with the Technology Assessment Act of 1972. It was governed by a twelve-member board, comprising six members of Congress from each party—half from the Senate and half from the House of Representatives. During its twenty-four-year life it produced about 750 studies on a wide range of topics, including acid rain, health care, global climate change, and polygraphs.

Closure
Criticism of the agency was fueled by Fat City, a 1980 book by Washington Times journalist Donald Lambro that was regarded favorably by the Reagan administration; it called OTA an "unnecessary agency" that duplicated government work done elsewhere. OTA was abolished (technically "de-funded") in the "Contract with America" period of Newt Gingrich's Republican ascendancy in Congress. According to Science magazine, "some Republican lawmakers came to view [the OTA] as duplicative, wasteful, and biased against their party."

When the 104th Congress withdrew funding for OTA, it had a statutory limit of 143 full-time staff (augmented by various project-based contractors) and an annual budget of $21.9 million. The closure of OTA was criticized at the time, including by Republican representative Amo Houghton, who commented at the time of OTA's defunding that "we are cutting off one of the most important arms of Congress when we cut off unbiased knowledge about science and technology."

Critics of the closure saw it as an example of politics overriding science, and a variety of scientists have called for the agency's reinstatement. Law professor and legal scholar David L. Faigman also made a strong case supporting the role OTA had played, also calling for its reinstatement.

Subsequent developments
While the OTA was closed down, the idea of technology assessment survived, in particular in Europe. The European Parliamentary Technology Assessment (EPTA) network coordinates members of technology assessment units working for various European governments. The US Government Accountability Office has meanwhile established a TA unit, taking on former duties of the OTA.

While campaigning in the 2008 US presidential election, Hillary Clinton pledged to work to restore the OTA if elected President. On April 29, 2009, House of Representatives member Rush Holt of New Jersey wrote an op-ed piece articulating the argument for restoring the OTA.

In April 2010 The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars released a report entitled "Reinventing Technology Assessment" that emphasized citizen engagement and called for performing the functions of the OTA by creating a nationwide network of non-partisan policy research organizations, universities, and science museums: the Expert & Citizen Assessment of Science & Technology (ECAST) network. ECAST would conduct both expert and participatory technology assessments for Congress and other clients. The author of the report was Dr. Richard Sclove of the Loka Institute. The report states that the drive to modernize OTA was initiated by Darlene Cavalier, a popular citizen science advocate and author of the Science Cheerleader blog. Cavalier outlined the idea of the citizen network in a guest blog post for Discover magazine's The Intersection. She introduced the concept in an article in Science Progress in July 2008. Andrew Yang became the first 2020 presidential candidate on April 4, 2019 to push for the idea to reestablish the OTA. He did so with a detailed proposal that includes refusing to sign any budget that did not include the OTA.

In January 2019 the Government Accountability Office established the Science, Technology Assessment, and Analytics (STAA) team to take on the technology assessment mission of the former OTA. STAA developed out of a small technology assessment pilot program at GAO created in 2002, which was elevated to GAO's 15th mission team. It launched with 49 full-time equivalent staff and has since grown to over 100. In October 2019, a congressionally directed report by the National Academy of Public Administration recommended increased investment in GAO and CRS to build Congress's policy capacity in science and technology.

Acorn (demographics)

Acorn, developed by CACI Limited in London, is a segmentation tool which categorises the United Kingdom’s population into demographic types. It has been built by analysing social factors and behaviour. Acorn segments households, postcodes and neighbourhoods into six categories, 18 groups and 62 types.

Methodology
In March 2013, CACI launched the latest version of Acorn, although the necessary data from the 2011 census was not available for the whole of the UK. The current version of Acorn does not rely on census data, but uses the new data environment created by government policies on Open data and the availability of a number of brand new private sector datasets. Peter Sleight, Chair of the Association of Census Distributors, considered Acorn's new version a sufficient improvement to have "revolutionised geodemographics". At The Census & Geodemographics Group's decennial conference, Tracking a Decade of Changing Britain, CACI presented a paper on the demographic segmentation.

CACI refrained from the traditional method, starting by separating the definition of the types from the assignment of postcodes to the types, allowing them to be assigned by algorithms.

New data environment
More local information is being published as Open Data and more is available from commercial sources. The Acorn solution can be improved for only part of the country without losing information elsewhere. With a devolved government, most of Open Data is released, covering only England, only Scotland, only Wales, etc.

Bruce Arnold (jazz)

Bruce Arnold (born July 31, 1955) is an American jazz guitarist, composer, educator, and author.

Early life and education
Born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Aronold took accordion lessons and discovered guitar when he saw the Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. He attended the University of South Dakota but switched to the Berklee College of Music in 1976. He took private lessons from Jerry Bergonzi and Charlie Banacos.

Career
Arnold moved to New York City in 1988 where he became an active member of the jazz community, producing many recordings as a sideman and leader. He is one of the few electric guitarists in the world to use the computer program SuperCollider in both his compositions and improvisations. Arnold is a founding member of Spooky Actions, a jazz group which explores improvisation using classical music repertoire.

He has played with Stuart Hamm, Peter Erskine, Joe Pass, Joe Lovano, Lenny Pickett, Randy Brecker, Stanley Clarke, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the Absolute Ensemble under the baton of Kristjan Järvi.

Arnold's recording credits include over twenty albums and DVDs (on Muse-eek Records, Mel Bay Recordings, Truefire and other labels), ranging from standard jazz repertoire to free improvisation to reinterpretations of classical music.

Teaching and writing
He is the director of Guitar Studies at New York University and Princeton University as well as the creator of the New York University Summer Guitar Intensive. He has taught at the New England Conservatory, Dartmouth College, Berklee, New School University, and City College of New York.

Arnold's theoretical works have explored the use of pitch class set theory within an improvisational setting. He has also written more than 60 music instruction books covering guitar pedagogy, ear training, and time studies.

Talk:List of English-language idioms of the 19th century

Origin of this page
The Nuttall Encyclopedia, 1907 edition, defines a number of late 19th century idioms in ways that don't lend themselves to individual Wikipedia articles. The origin of this page was to provide a way to cover these concepts so that the goals of the Nuttall Encyclopedia coverage project could be met.

Note this page is about idioms, not similes, slang etc. It is built on the same principles as List of idioms in the English language. Other editors may want to extend the list back in time, or into the early 20th century, or to other parts of speech, although it would be a good idea to consider the organization of such lists carefully. David Brooks 22:44, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Other languages
There are lists for other languages like List of French phrases and List of Latin phrases. Should expressions like "Gens togata" go to this list? Also, before, denotions like "Admirable Doctor" for Bacon have been made into redirects.--J heisenberg 11:32, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * On the Latin phrases - that's probably a good idea so long as there is some way of marking the phrase as obsolete or archaic (which is an interesting notion for Latin or Ancient Greek). Should we keep the information that the usage is outdated even among latinophones?

Redirects

 * On the redirects - using the list clearly marks the usage as archaic, while throwing it into the main article can seem gratuitous. If you do make a redirect, the target has to mention the alternate name in an obvious way, to avoid reader astonishment. In the particular case of Bacon, according to the current article "doctor" is today considered wrong anyway - see this diff - and the redirect (I see you made it) is only explicable if you can translate the Latin, admittedly not a challenging task. David Brooks 17:15, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Bother. I forgot that redirecting to a tag doesn't work. All the redirs land at the top of this page. David Brooks 17:40, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

"Goody-two-shoes" and redirections?
"Goody-two-shoes" is redirected to this page, but I don't see any reference to that phrase. Perhaps I missed it, or perhaps the redirection ought to be canceled (however that's done). Furthermore, how would one check other redirections to this page to see if they are still valid? 75.15.118.69 (talk) 01:20, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Červený Kostelec

Červený Kostelec (Rothkosteletz) is a town in Náchod District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 8,300 inhabitants.

Administrative parts
The villages of Bohdašín, Horní Kostelec, Lhota za Červeným Kostelcem, Mstětín, Olešnice and Stolín are administrative parts of Červený Kostelec.

Etymology
The word kostelec is derived from kostel (i.e. 'church') and meant "fortified church". To distinguish it from other municipalities with the same name, the adjective červený (i.e. 'red') was added in 1876. It referred to the red Permian formation that was uncovered here, and to the coloring of the local stream, which occurred during floods.

Geography
Červený Kostelec is located about 8 km northwest of Náchod and 34 km northeast of Hradec Králové. It lies on the border between the Giant Mountains Foothills and Orlické Foothills. The highest point is the hill Končinský kopec at 530 m above sea level.

History
The first written mention of Kostelec is from 1362. Until 1447, it was a part of the Vízmburk estate. From 1497 at the latest, it belonged to the Náchod estate. It remained so until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1848. The preserved seal proves that Kostelec was referred to as a market town no later than from 1680. In 1876, Kostelec was promoted to a town and changed its name to Červený Kostelec.

Transport
The I/14 road (the section from Trutnov to Náchod) passes through the town.

Červený Kostelec is located on the railway line Prague–Trutnov.

Culture
Since 1952, the town hosts the Červený Kostelec International Folklore Festival.

Sights
The most notable building is the Church of Saint James the Great. It was originally a Gothic building from the 14th century, destroyed by fire in 1591. It was renewed in 1668 and rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1744–1754 based on plans of architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.

Notable people

 * Martin Růžek (1918–1995), actor
 * Viktor Kalabis (1923–2006), composer
 * Karel Sedláček (born 1979), darts player

Twin towns – sister cities
Červený Kostelec is twinned with:
 * Küsnacht, Switzerland
 * 🇩🇪 Uchte, Germany
 * 🏴 Warrington, England, United Kingdom
 * 🇵🇱 Ząbkowice Śląskie, Poland

Plateau's laws

Plateau's laws describe the structure of soap films. These laws were formulated in the 19th century by the Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau from his experimental observations. Many patterns in nature are based on foams obeying these laws.

Laws for soap films
Plateau's laws describe the shape and configuration of soap films as follows:

 * 1) Soap films are made of entire (unbroken) smooth surfaces.
 * 2) The mean curvature of a portion of a soap film is everywhere constant on any point on the same piece of soap film.
 * 3) Soap films always meet in threes along an edge called a Plateau border, and they do so at an angle of arccos(−$1⁄2$) = 120°.
 * 4) These Plateau borders meet in fours at a vertex, at the tetrahedral angle of arccos(−$1⁄3$) ≈ 109.47°.

Configurations other than those of Plateau's laws are unstable, and the film will quickly tend to rearrange itself to conform to these laws.

That these laws hold for minimal surfaces was proved mathematically by Jean Taylor using geometric measure theory.

Hegar's sign

Hegar's sign is a non-sensitive indication of pregnancy in women—its absence does not exclude pregnancy. It pertains to the features of the cervix and the uterine isthmus. It is demonstrated as a softening in the consistency of the uterus, and the uterus and cervix seem to be two separate regions.

The sign is usually present from 4–6 weeks until the 12th week of pregnancy. Hegar's sign is more difficult to recognize in multiparous women. Interpretation: On bimanual examination (two fingers in the anterior fornix and two fingers below the uterus per abdomen), the abdominal and vaginal fingers seem to oppose below the body of uterus (examination must be gentle to avoid abortion).

This sign was repeatedly demonstrated and described by Ernst Ludwig Alfred Hegar, a German gynecologist, in 1895. Hegar credited Reinl, one of his assistants, who originally described this sign in 1884.

Henry Muddiman

Henry Muddiman (5 February 1629, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, London, Eng. died 7 March 1692, Coldhern, near Earl's Court, London) was an English journalist and publisher active after the restoration of the monarchy, in 1660.

Muddiman was born in the Strand, London. He was educated in St Clement's Temple and at St John's College, Cambridge, after which he worked as a school teacher. He began producing two regular newsbooks – Parliamentary Intelligencer and Mercurius Publicus – in late 1659 on the proceedings of the newly reconvened Rump Parliament. This seems to have been at the suggestion of George Monck, who also received good publicity. On 16 April 1660 this role was secured when all other such journals were banned particularly those of Marchamont Needham the chief Cromwellian publisher. Muddiman received a monopoly of print along with arch-royalist John Birkenhead as a supervising editor.

Muddiman lost the right to publish the journals three years later when it was handed to Roger L'Estrange. He would transform the subtle propaganda of the newsbooks into heavy-handed political polemics leading to the rights being returned to Muddiman in 1665. By that time, Muddiman had established a good business distributing hand-written details of parliamentary proceedings which he was not allowed to print. Once the rights were returned he began publishing The London Gazette which remains the oldest surviving English newspaper. With a short hiatus over the Exclusion crisis, when there were attempts to suppress all publications, he retained exclusive rights until the Glorious Revolution of 1688. At the change of regime he was considered too close to the previous incumbents and retired, dying in 1692.

Ile Maroia Laji

Ile Maroia Laji is one of the oldest Candomblé temples in Salvador, Brazil, in the neighborhood of Matatu de Brotas. It was designated a National Heritage Site in 2005. The temple was influential in the promotion of Candomblé and in distancing the religion from Catholicism under the leadership of High Priestess Olga de Alaketu in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

History
The oral tradition maintained by the temple claims that the temple was founded in 1636 by a princess brought from the Yoruba Kingdom of Ketu, in present-day Republic of Benin. Otherwise the historical account tells us that surrounding areas of the Royal City of Ketu was raided by Dahomean army only in 1789, when possibly they captured some royals who were sold to slave-traders. Ile Maroia Laji's tradition corroborates this account, providing a succession of seven leaders to the temple since its foundation that hardly couldn't cover the claimed 350 years of its existence.

The temple's account tells that nine years old twin sisters princesses captured in Ketu by Dahomean army and were sold to slave-traders and sent to Salvador, Bahia. The twins belonged to the Aro or Ọja Aro Clan, and their namer were Otampe Oja-Aro (or Ojaro) and Gogorixá. They were miraculously freed when they just arrived in Salvador. Whenceforth they worked for nine years as food sellers and maidservants in order to buy a ticket to get back to their homeland. Otampe Ojaro, initiated to the orisha Oxumarê (the serpent-rainbow), back in Dahomey, married a cousin called Alaji, and gave birth to a daughter called Akobi-Odé. The family went to Salvador and achieved a farm in the neighborhood of Matatu de Brotas, where they made a shrine to orisha Oxossi, the family's mythical ancestor. And named the shrine Ilé Ọmọ-Aro Alají (House of Alaji, son of Aro[Clan]), abbreviated as Ile Moroialaji or Maroialaji and nowadays recorded as Ile Maroia Laji. The shrine became a temple where Otampe Ojaro was the high-priestess.

The couple adopted Brazilian Portuguese names: Otampe Ojaro became Maria do Rosário Régis, Alaji was Porfírio Régis and Akobi-Odé was Maria Francisca Régis, their chosen family name, Régis, meaning "regal", "from the kings". After Otampe Ojaro death the leadership passed to her daughter Akobi-Odé/Maria Francisca Régis. The later's last will is the oldest document preserved in the temple examined by the anthropologist Vivaldo da Costa Lima, and dates from 1867. Akobi-Odé left the high-priesthood to her grandson, José Gonçalo Régis (Babá Aboré), initiated to the orisha Oshala. José's niece, Dionísia Francisca Régis (Obá Oindá), initiated to orisha Xangô, succeeded him in the late 19th century.

After a long period in the leadership, Mother Dionísia died in 1948, and left her grand-niece, Olga Francisca Régis (Oiá-funmi), a 23 years old young woman initiated to the orisha Oya-Iansan, in the leadership of the temple. So then the temple, also known as Terreiro do Alaketu, reminding the leading family origins, gain national and international-wide notoriety, and the new high priestess, nicknamed Olga de Alaketu, became an important figure in the Candomblé, ruling over her temple and respective community with her strong personality over 57 years, passing away victimized by diabetes on 28 September 2005 just after the old temple's official recognition as National (Brazilian) Heritage by the Ministry of Culture. Mother Olga's successor is her eldest daughter, Jocelina Barbosa Bispo, Mother Jojó, initiated to Nanã Buruku.

Julian Bleecker

Julian Bleecker is an artist and technologist with a history developing innovative mobile research projects.

Career
Bleecker holds a Ph.D. from the History of Consciousness Program at University of California, Santa Cruz where he studied with Donna Haraway, Angela Davis, Victor Burgin, and James Clifford.

He's been an artist-in-residence at Eyebeam, exhibited work at Ars Electronica, a Research Fellow at the Annenberg Center for Communication and an Assistant Professor at the USC Interactive Media Division.

Bleecker has been active as a researcher in the areas of mobile computing, pervasive networks and near-field interaction systems. In 2006, with Nicolas Nova, he organized a workshop entitled "Networked Objects" at [EPFL | Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne], held in May 2006, exploring his interest in Near-Field Interaction and the Internet of Things.

This vector of research on mobile computing, pervasive networks and near-field or proximity-based interaction systems has been a theme of Bleecker's research and design projects for a number of years. One of his earlier projects in this area was PDPal (2003–2005), a series of technology project that investigated how mobile devices could be integrated into a system to allow people to annotate the experiences they have, as in a location-specific diary. The PDPal series was commissioned by Eyebeam in New York City, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis to find ways for creating art-technology projects that made use of readily available mobile devices, such as PDAs and mobile phones. PDPal was a collaborative project with designers Marina Zurkow and Scott Patterson.

Other more exploratory projects looked at ways to use common technologies, such as WiFi, in unexpected ways. WiFi.Bedouin and WiFi.ArtCache were two projects that use wireless communications networks to create local networks that make digital content available in very location-specific ways. WiFi.ArtCache was invited for exhibition at ISEA 2006 in San Jose, California, and was the winner of the Audience Choice Award. It was also commissioned for exhibition at the group show "Reclaim the Spectrum" in Seville, Spain (2006).

More playful commissioned art-technology projects include "Pussy Weevil", an animated, sensor-based, screen-based character, which was selected for exhibition at Ars Electronica (2005), the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City (2003–2004), and Art Interactive in Boston (2003).

Bleecker was lead technologist on the Sonic Memorial Project, a Peabody Award-winning website and radio documentary based on audio recollections of the events of September 11.

In 2008 he wrote the essay Design Fiction: A Short Essay on Design, Science, Fact and Fiction that lead to the development of the futures design approach Design Fiction.

He founded his cycling product company OMATA in 2014 after working for 7 years at Nokia, and sold it in 2021. He now focuses his time on developing the third evolution of Near Future Laboratory, a multidisciplinary consultancy and global community focused on developing more robust futures practices through Design Fiction. His podcast The Near Future Laboratory Podcast features discussions on the relationship between imagination, creativity, and innovation practices.

Gianni Brera

Giovanni Luigi "Gianni" Brera (8 September 1919 – 19 December 1992) was an Italian sports journalist and novelist.

Biography

Brera was born in San Zenone al Po, near Pavia, the son of Carlo, a tailor, and Marietta Ghisoni. Among his ancestors was a Hungarian great-grandmother who married a Lombard sergeant of the Imperial Austrian Army. He obtained his degree in political sciences at Pavia University in 1943, while on leave from his post as lieutenant of the paratrooper division "Folgore". In late spring 1944 he joined the Italian Resistance movement and fought in the Ossola Valley. He took pride in having lived through World War II without ever shooting another human being.

In 1943, he married Rina Gramegna (a teacher, 1920–2000) and had four sons: Franco (1944–1944), Carlo (a painter, 1946–1994), Paolo (an economist, journalist, multi-lingual translator, and novelist, 1949–2019), Franco (a musician, 1951-).

When he was discharged in 1945, he started working for La Gazzetta dello Sport (Italy's first sports daily), eventually becoming editor-in-chief in 1949, the youngest-ever editor-in-chief of a national newspaper in Italy.

Brera wrote for La Gazzetta dello Sport, Il Guerin Sportivo, Il Giorno, Il Giornale, La Repubblica and several other publications. His articles were translated into several European languages. He often referred to himself as "Gioannbrerafucarlo" (a reference to Italy's long-foregone system of including the father's name in a citizen's complete name).

He also wrote a number of books (handbooks, essays and fictional works), a theatre play, and a couple of radio plays.

Brera died halfway between Codogno and Casalpusterlengo, in 1992, from injuries suffered in a car accident: a car on the other side of the road crashed into his car, causing his death and of two other passengers.

Legacy
Brera is viewed one of the most influential Italian sports journalists of the 20th century. In 2003, the monumental Arena Civica (stadium), built in Milan by Napoleon I of France in the early 19th century, was renamed Arena Gianni Brera.

Brera is widely credited for innovating Italian language, notably by creating a whole new terms for football (soccer), some of which have been adopted by other countries. The word libero (sweeper) for the third defender was coined by Brera. Famous nicknames he invented for Italian players include Abatino ("Little Abbot") for Gianni Rivera and Rombo di tuono ("Rolling Thunder") for Gigi Riva. He also nicknamed Silvio Berlusconi Il Cavaliere ("The Knight") after the businessman was awarded the Order of Merit for Labour. Furthermore, he coined the monikers "Il Vecchio Balordo" (The Old Fool) and "La Beneamata" (The Well-Cherished One) for Genoa and Internazionale football clubs, respectively.

Living and working in Milan, Brera was a supporter of Internazionale, but he claimed to be a fan of Genoa in order to prevent him from being dragged into the rivalry between Inter, A.C. Milan and Juventus FC and to be freely able to write about those teams without alienating the readerships from their sides. Brera's self-declared fondness for Genoa testified his love for the "heroic age" of Italian football (Genoa was Italy's first club and dominated the football championships until the early 1920s); moreover, after Brera's death the original foundation charter of the Genoa Cricket and Football Club was found among his papers, and his family donated it to a Genoese museum.

Apart from the imaginative lexicon, Brera was noteworthy for his rich style and liberal use of foreign or regional phrases. He spoke fluent French and Spanish, a little German and Latin, and some English.

In May 2019, Brera was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame for the 2018 edition, under the category Special Awards.

Life with Bonnie

Life with Bonnie is an ABC television sitcom that originally aired from September 17, 2002 to April 9, 2004. The show outlined the life of character Bonnie Malloy, who juggled her personal life and her job as a daytime TV talk show host. The series was created by Bonnie Hunt and Don Lake and produced by Bob & Alice Productions, in association with Touchstone Television. The series had fair ratings in the first season, but struggled in the second season, resulting in its cancellation. Life With Bonnie was also shown on Living TV in the United Kingdom.

Main

 * Bonnie Hunt as Bonnie Malloy, the mother of two children (three in season one), a loving wife, and host of a local talk show. Bonnie tries to maintain a public image of the perfect wife and mother, but in reality her life is chaotic.
 * Mark Derwin as Mark Malloy, a doctor, Bonnie's husband, and the father of their children. He looks on as she tries to balance her hectic life. Mark is much less concerned about what other people think than Bonnie is, which causes problems on occasion. He has a generally more professional demeanor, and sometimes does not understand why Bonnie continues to put up with annoying people in her life.
 * Charlie Stewart as Charlie Malloy, Bonnie's son. Charlie shares most of his scenes with his friend Frankie. His role is small and usually unscripted, although he adds comedy to the show.
 * Samantha Browne-Walters as Samantha Malloy (season one), Bonnie's eldest child, yet another ingredient in Bonnie's hectic life. She was removed without explanation from the cast when season two started.
 * Marianne Muellerleile as Gloria, Bonnie's live-in housekeeper/nanny. She was only intended to stay there until Charlie started school, but despite the fact that she actually provided little help, they could not let her leave because they had grown attached to her.
 * David Alan Grier as David Bellows, the producer of the Morning Chicago show. David is most often seen yelling and frantically rushing to get things for the show in order while pushing his lectern around the studio.
 * Anthony Russell as Tony Russo, Bonnie's affable piano player on Morning Chicago. Bonnie's housekeeper, Gloria, has a crush on Tony.
 * Holly Wortell as Holly, Bonnie's make-up artist on Morning Chicago. She often gives advice on Bonnie's marriage issues and seems to date many men.
 * Chris Barnes as Marv, the cue-card guy on Morning Chicago. Marv is very protective of Holly, who does not return his interest.
 * Frankie Ryan Manriquez as Frankie, Charlie's best friend who spends most of his time at the Malloy home. He contributes many funny anecdotes about his screwed-up family.

Guest stars

 * Rip Taylor as "Rappin' Rip" (four episodes)
 * Carl Reiner as Mr. Portinbody (three episodes)
 * David Duchovny as Johnny Volcano (two episodes)
 * Martin Mull as Le Nord (two episodes)
 * Tom Hanks as himself (episode: "What If?")
 * Teri Garr as Mrs. Portinbody (episode: "Buy the Book")
 * Jack LaLanne as himself (season-two premiere)
 * The Smothers Brothers as contractors (episode: "Everything Old is New Again")
 * Dick Van Patten as himself (episode: "It's a Wonderful Job")
 * Jonathan Winters as Q.T. Marlens, a writer with multiple personalities (season one, episode nine)
 * Robin Williams as Kevin Powalski (episode: "Psychic")
 * Morgan York as Christine Harris (episode: "Dare To Be Different")

Flexibility method

In structural engineering, the flexibility method, also called the method of consistent deformations, is the traditional method for computing member forces and displacements in structural systems. Its modern version formulated in terms of the members' flexibility matrices also has the name the matrix force method due to its use of member forces as the primary unknowns.

Member flexibility
Flexibility is the inverse of stiffness. For example, consider a spring that has Q and q as, respectively, its force and deformation:
 * The spring stiffness relation is Q = k q where k is the spring stiffness.
 * Its flexibility relation is q = f Q, where f is the spring flexibility.
 * Hence, f = 1/k.

A typical member flexibility relation has the following general form:

where
 * m = member number m.
 * $$\mathbf{q}^m $$ = vector of member's characteristic deformations.
 * $$\mathbf{f}^m $$ = member flexibility matrix which characterises the member's susceptibility to deform under forces.
 * $$\mathbf{Q}^m $$ = vector of member's independent characteristic forces, which are unknown internal forces. These independent forces give rise to all member-end forces by member equilibrium.
 * $$\mathbf{q}^{om} $$ = vector of member's characteristic deformations caused by external effects (such as known forces and temperature changes) applied to the isolated, disconnected member (i.e. with $$\mathbf{Q}^m = 0 $$).

For a system composed of many members interconnected at points called nodes, the members' flexibility relations can be put together into a single matrix equation, dropping the superscript m:

where M is the total number of members' characteristic deformations or forces in the system.

Unlike the matrix stiffness method, where the members' stiffness relations can be readily integrated via nodal equilibrium and compatibility conditions, the present flexibility form of equation ($$) poses serious difficulty. With member forces $$ \mathbf{Q}_{M \times 1} $$ as the primary unknowns, the number of nodal equilibrium equations is insufficient for solution, in general—unless the system is statically determinate.

Nodal equilibrium equations
To resolve this difficulty, first we make use of the nodal equilibrium equations in order to reduce the number of independent unknown member forces. The nodal equilibrium equation for the system has the form:

where
 * $$ \mathbf{R}_{N \times 1} $$: Vector of nodal forces at all N degrees of freedom of the system.
 * $$ \mathbf{b}_{N \times M} $$: The resulting nodal equilibrium matrix
 * $$ \mathbf{W}_{N \times 1} $$: The vector of forces arising from loading on the members.

In the case of determinate systems, matrix b is square and the solution for Q can be found immediately from ($$) provided that the system is stable.

The primary system
For statically indeterminate systems, M > N, and hence, we can augment ($$) with I = M−N equations of the form:

The vector X is the so-called vector of redundant forces and I is the degree of statical indeterminacy of the system. We usually choose j, k, …, $$ \alpha $$, and $$ \beta $$ such that $$ X_i $$ is a support reaction or an internal member-end force. With suitable choices of redundant forces, the equation system ($$) augmented by ($$) can now be solved to obtain:

Substitution into ($$) gives:

Equations ($$) and ($$) are the solution for the primary system which is the original system that has been rendered statically determinate by cuts that expose the redundant forces $$\mathbf{X} $$. Equation ($$) effectively reduces the set of unknown forces to $$\mathbf{X} $$.

Compatibility equation and solution
Next, we need to set up $$ I $$  compatibility equations in order to find $$\mathbf{X} $$. The compatibility equations restore the required continuity at the cut sections by setting the relative displacements $$\mathbf{r}_{X}$$ at the redundants X to zero. That is, using the unit dummy force method:

where
 * $$ \mathbf{F}_{XX} = \mathbf{B}_X^T \mathbf{f} \mathbf{B}_X $$

 * $$ \mathbf{r}^o_X = \mathbf{B}_X^T \Big[ \mathbf{f}

\Big( \mathbf{B}_R \mathbf{R} + \mathbf{Q}_v \Big) + \mathbf{q}^{o} \Big] $$

Equation ($$) can be solved for X, and the member forces are next found from ($$) while the nodal displacements can be found by

 * $$\mathbf{r}_{R} = \mathbf{B}_R^T \mathbf{q} = \mathbf{F}_{RR} \mathbf{R} + \mathbf{r}^o_R $$

where
 * $$ \mathbf{F}_{RR} = \mathbf{B}_R^T \mathbf{f} \mathbf{B}_R $$ is the system flexibility matrix.

 * $$ \mathbf{r}^o_R = \mathbf{B}_R^T \Big[ \mathbf{f}

\Big( \mathbf{B}_X \mathbf{X} + \mathbf{Q}_v \Big) + \mathbf{q}^{o} \Big] $$

Supports' movements taking place at the redundants can be included in the right-hand-side of equation ($$), while supports' movements at other places must be included in $$ \mathbf{r}^o_X $$ and $$ \mathbf{r}^o_R $$ as well.

Advantages and disadvantages
While the choice of redundant forces in ($$) appears to be arbitrary and troublesome for automatic computation, this objection can be overcome by proceeding from ($$) directly to ($$) using a modified Gauss–Jordan elimination process. This is a robust procedure that automatically selects a good set of redundant forces to ensure numerical stability.

It is apparent from the above process that the matrix stiffness method is easier to comprehend and to implement for automatic computation. It is also easier to extend for advanced applications such as non-linear analysis, stability, vibrations, etc. For these reasons, the matrix stiffness method is the method of choice for use in general purpose structural analysis software packages. On the other hand, for linear systems with a low degree of statical indeterminacy, the flexibility method has the advantage of being computationally less intensive. This advantage, however, is a moot point as personal computers are widely available and more powerful. The main redeeming factor in learning this method nowadays is its educational value in imparting the concepts of equilibrium and compatibility in addition to its historical value. In contrast, the procedure of the direct stiffness method is so mechanical that it risks being used without much understanding of the structural behaviors.

The upper arguments were valid up to the late 1990s. However, recent advances in numerical computing have shown a comeback of the force method, especially in the case of nonlinear systems. New frameworks have been developed that allow "exact" formulations irrespectively of the type or nature of the system nonlinearities. The main advantages of the flexibility method is that the result error is independent of the discretization of the model and that it is indeed a very fast method. For instance, the elastic-plastic solution of a continuous beam using the force method requires only 4 beam elements whereas a commercial "stiffness based" FEM code requires 500 elements in order to give results with the same accuracy. To conclude, one can say that in the case where the solution of the problem requires recursive evaluations of the force field like in the case of structural optimization or system identification, the efficiency of the flexibility method is indisputable.

The result of the debate was DELETE.  Rob e  rt  22:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Anarcho-Rockers
Non-existent subculture. Everything factual is already linked at anarcho-punk. The rest is ridiculously inaccurate. Most of the bands listed are psychobilly bands, which (and this is even emphasized on the psychobilly page) is a staunchly anti-political subgenre. I listen to most of those bands, and have never heard even a remotely pro-anarchist lyric from any of them. The rest are merely, as mentioned earlier, anarcho-punk bands.

 * To me, the article appears as original research and/or opinion. Unless someone can cite references, delete. (Also see Talk:Anarcho-Rockers.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:32, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Seems a terrible bit of unimportant fluff.
