Bari Wood (born December 31, 1936) is an American author of science fiction, crime and horror novels.

## Life and work

Wood was born on December 31, 1936, in Jacksonville, Illinois, to Israel S. Prosterman and Gertrude Ritman. She grew up in and around Chicago, and graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois with a degree in English. She moved to New York in 1957, where she first worked in the library of the American Cancer Society, later as editor of the society's publication, CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians and of the medical journal Drug Therapy. In the early 1970s, she began writing fiction.
In New York she fell in love with and married Dr. Gilbert Congdon Wood (1915–2000), a biologist for the American Cancer Society. In 1981 they moved to a farmhouse in Ridgefield, Connecticut. In 2008, she married Dennis Preston Kazee and moved to Lansing, Michigan.
Wood wrote her first novel, The Killing Gift, in 1975. It won the Putnam Prize for high-quality novels. It was followed by Twins, co-written with Jack Geasland in 1977. In 1988, the novel was adapted into a film under the title Dead Ringers with Jeremy Irons in the eponymous lead roles. Her 1993 novel Doll's Eyes was adapted into a film titled In Dreams in 1999.

# Cherry Lake

Cherry Lake (also known as Lake Lloyd) is an artificial lake in the Stanislaus National Forest of Tuolumne County, California, U.S.A., about 25 miles (40 km) east of the city of Sonora. It is at an elevation of 4,700 feet (1,433 m) on the western side of the Sierra Nevada, and lies just outside the western boundary of Yosemite National Park. The lake has a capacity of 273,500 acre⋅ft (337,400,000 m$^3$) and is formed by Cherry Valley Dam on Cherry Creek.
The East and West forks of Cherry Creek combine just a couple of miles before reaching the lake, while the North Fork joins the East Fork about 10 miles (16 km) earlier. All three forks begin in the Emigrant Wilderness and all of them flow roughly southwest. The North Fork's source is Emigrant Lake, which is at an elevation of 8,800 ft (2,680 m). The East Fork's source is a couple of miles (~6 – 8 km) southwest of the Mono County line and flows into Huckleberry Lake several miles (~6 – 8 km) later. The East and North forks meet several miles (~6 – 8 km) downstream of the lake. There are no lakes on the West Fork. Eleanor Creek, which forms Lake Eleanor, flows into Cherry Creek several miles (~6 – 8 km) downstream from Cherry Valley Dam. Lake Eleanor is another Hetch Hetchy Project facility. Cherry Creek flows into the Tuolumne River several miles (~6 – 8 km) later.

## Cherry Valley Campground

This campground offers sites on both reservation and first come, first served basis. They have food storage containers, picnic tables and fire rings, with grates for cooking. Some sites offer beautiful lake vistas. The roads through the campground are paved. There are bathroom facilities but no showers. Running water is located every few campsites.

## Cherry Valley Dam

The dam is composed of earth and rock-fill and has a height of 315 ft (96 m) above the original streambed. It was built by San Francisco City and County and the Modesto Irrigation District and Turlock Irrigation District. It was completed in 1956; 69 years ago (1956). The lake stores water for the Hetch Hetchy Project, which supplies drinking water to the San Francisco Bay Area, Modesto and Turlock districts. Recreation available at the lake includes, boating, skiing, swimming and fishing. Human contact with the water is allowed because the water has to be filtered anyway. Water from the lake powers the Dion R. Holm Power Plant, a 165 MW hydroelectric facility.

## Climate

Cherry Lake has a warm-Mediterranean climate featuring warm to sometimes hot dry summers, with rare small thunderstorms, and cool, snowy, and rainy winters that receive above average precipitation for California due to its location on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Its elevation of 4600 feet is high enough for snowfall in the winters but not high enough for significant amounts that are the only form of precipitation during the cooler months.

# Sheikh Khairy Khedr

Sheikh Khairy Khedr (? – 22 October 2014) was the Commander and founder of the Yazidi militia Malik Al-Tawus Troop, which later became the Sinjar Resistance Units (YBŞ). He was born in Siba Sheikh Khidir (Jazeera).

## Background

The community of Siba Sheikh Khidir is located about 20 km south of the Sinjar Mountains. Siba Sheikh Khidir was one of the first settlements attacked by the Islamic State (IS) on 3 August 2014 at the beginning of the Sinjar massacre. The village is also one of the two villages that was almost completely destroyed in the 2007 Yazidi communities bombings.

## Resistance against ISIS

Commander of Sinjar Resistance Units Sheikh Khairy Khedr was killed in action during the October 2014 clashes in Sinjar. He was mortally wounded, on 22 October, by an Islamic State mortar rocket that also wounded a second Sinjar Resistance Unit fighter and killed another, and he died five hours later. Medical assistance was not available in time because the fighters and many Yazidi civilians had been surrounded on the Sinjar Mountains. Yazidi fighters said that they were armed mostly with rifles, but the Islamic State fighters used rockets and missiles as well as the mortar attacks.

# Sunnyside Cemetery (St. Petersburg)

Sunnyside Cemetery, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, is third oldest cemetery in the city. It was established in 1895 and sits across the street from Northeast High School.

## History

Sunnyside Cemetery was originally known as the Ellis Graveyard, named after its founder, Nathaniel Ellis. The cemetery was reserved only for the family members of founder Ellis. In 1904, the cemetery's new owner, John O’Berry, formed the Sunnyside Cemetery Association. By the following year, Sunnyside Cemetery opened to the public. In 1984, Anderson-McQueen invested in a portion of St. Petersburg's Sunnyside Cemetery that stretches three blocks. Anderson-McQueen expanded the cemetery by buying the neighboring lot to the west, but did not alter the original section's aesthetics. In 2010, John McQueen became president and CEO of Anderson-McQueen after buying out his brother and sister from the family's funeral & cemetery operations. After this buyout, the business continued to be run by family members, like his son, Joshua McQueen, who spent summers working at the cemetery. In 2024, the cemetery is partnered with Anderson McQueen, but Anderson McQueen is now owned by Foundation Partner's Group. Today, this St. Petersburg landmark remains a quaint and historically rich cemetery for families throughout the community.

## Lawsuit

When the cemetery was sold to Anderson McQueen Funeral Home, the O’Berry family added a covenant in the sale stating the historic section's layout not be changed, specifically stating that the gravel path could not be removed or replaced with concrete. After Anderson McQueen was sold to Foundation Partner's Group in 2017, the new owners decided to alter the historic section's gravel path in order to add more grave spaces, creating 184 additional burial plots in the path's footprint. They sold 82 of those new plots, 24 of which were occupied at the time of the case. This led to a court case between the cemetery's founding family and current owner over whether burials are allowed in a section of Sunnyside at 5300 19th St. N. A judge with Pinellas County's Sixth Judicial Circuit Court decided the burials breached a decades-old contract, but delayed an order to move the graves, since this would cause up to 24 graves to be exhumed. Instead, the two sides and the burial plot owners were ordered to find try and another solution. After many discussions, FPG and O'Berry's decedents seemed to come to an agreement. Parking Pads and a gravel walking path would be added as a temporary fix, but a more permanent fix would come with a cemetery expansion that included a new access to the historic side of the cemetery.
# Samir Al-Rifai

Samir al-Rifai (Arabic: سمير الرفاعي;‎ 30 January 1901 –12 October 1965) was a Palestinian politician in Jordan. He served several terms as the 8th Prime Minister of Jordan. He was born in Safed, Palestine.

He died in Amman, aged 64.
# Sigma approximation

In mathematics, σ-approximation adjusts a Fourier summation to greatly reduce the Gibbs phenomenon, which would otherwise occur at discontinuities.
An m-1-term, σ-approximated summation for a series of period T can be written as follows: $s(\theta )={\frac {1}{2}}a_{0}+\sum _{k=1}^{m-1}\left(\operatorname {sinc} {\frac {k}{m}}\right)^{p}\cdot \left[a_{k}\cos \left({\frac {2\pi k}{T}}\theta \right)+b_{k}\sin \left({\frac {2\pi k}{T}}\theta \right)\right],$ in terms of the normalized sinc function: $\operatorname {sinc} x={\frac {\sin \pi x}{\pi x}}.$ $a_{k}$ and $b_{k}$ are the typical Fourier Series coefficients, and p, a non negative parameter, determines the amount of smoothening applied, where higher values of p further reduce the Gibbs phenomenon but can overly smoothen the representation of the function.
The term $\left(\operatorname {sinc} {\frac {k}{m}}\right)^{p}$ is the Lanczos σ factor, which is responsible for eliminating most of the Gibbs phenomenon. This is sampling the right side of the main lobe of the $\operatorname {sinc}$ function to rolloff the higher frequency Fourier Series coefficients.
As is known by the Uncertainty principle, having a sharp cutoff in the frequency domain (cutting off the Fourier Series abruptly without adjusting coefficients) causes a wide spread of information in the time domain (lots of ringing).
This can also be understood as applying a Window function to the Fourier series coefficients to balance maintaining a fast rise time (analogous to a narrow transition band) and small amounts of ringing (analogous to stopband attenuation).
# William McGuire (judge)

William McGuire was an American judge, one of the first three judges in the Mississippi Territory. He arrived in Mississippi in the fall of 1799, appointed as chief justice, to assist governor Winthrop Sargent as one of three judges who were to write up the set of laws for the new territory. However, McGuire went back to his home in Virginia after only a couple of weeks or months. After his return from Mississippi he practiced law, and was appointed superintendent at the Harpers Ferry Armory. He died in 1820, from effects of a wound he received at age 16, when he was wounded in the Battle of Eutaw Springs, 1781.

## Biography

William Edward McGuire was born into a supposedly ancient family originally from North Central Ireland dating back to the 13th century. Edward McGuire (the "founder" of the US family branch), born 1720, arrived in Frederick County, Virginia, sometime before 1747, the year he was given a land grant. His son William was born in 1765, likewise in Frederick County. He was a cadet in the Continental Army in 1778. He was promoted to ensign in 1780, and later became lieutenant of the First Virginia Artillery. He was wounded in the Battle of Eutaw Springs, 1781; this wound was to trouble him his entire life, and he died of it in 1820. After independence he studied law at the College of William & Mary. He was active in politics as a legislator in Richmond from 1796 to 1799, until he was appointed first chief justice for the Mississippi Territory.

## Career in Mississippi

The Mississippi Organic Act of 1798 authorized president John Adams to appoint a governor and three judges for the Mississippi Territory. Governor Winthrop Sargent was to be assisted in setting up the laws for Mississippi with the assistance of judges Peter Bryan Bruin (untrained in law and likely an alcoholic), Daniel Tilton, and William McGuire, who were described as "representing varying degrees of incompetence". McGuire was nominated on 26 June 1798 as chief justice for the territory, and was confirmed in June 1798. He was a man from Virginia and the only one of the three who was an actual lawyer, arrived in the territory after February 28, 1799, when the first law was passed without him; governor Sargent was anxiously awaiting him early in 1799, because of McGuire's actual expertise with the law (in contrast to himself and the other two judges). However, he stayed only a few weeks or months and left in September 1799, signed but a few of the laws, and then went back to Virginia, claiming he couldn't live on the salary in Mississippi.

## After Mississippi

McGuire seems to have resigned his position in 1801. On his return to Winchester, Virginia, he practiced law until 1816, when he became superintendent for the Harpers Ferry Armory, an appointed position. He died there, in 1820, as a result of the wound he had received in 1781.
# Haryana Space Applications Centre, Hisar
