## Transport

The I/17 road (which is here shortly a part of the European route E442) passes through the northern part of the municipality.

## Sights

The main sight is the Baroque complex of the former pilgrimage Church of Saint Nicholas. In 1711, a spa was established here, near a spring of water that was considered curative. A local chapel was replaced by the church in 1724–1726. The spa and the pilgrimage site almost disappeared in the first half of the 19th century. The complex was reconstructed in 1976–1986. In the former church there is an exposition administered by Vysoké Mýto Regional Museum.

# Jean-Pierre Maradan

Jean-Pierre Maradan (born 19 February 1954) is a former Swiss football player who played as a defender during the 1970s and 1980s.
Maradan was brought up in Deitingen in the canton of Solothurn and started his football with the youth teams of the local football club. He transferred to FC Grenchen in 1970, played for their youth team Interregional and their first team Nationalliga B. The team won the Uhrencup 1971. They also won promotion to the Nationalliga A in 1971, but were relegated again at the end of the season 1972–73 .
In the summer of 1976 Maradan transferred to FC Basel, with coach Helmut Benthaus, back into the Nationalliga A. Despite the team already having a number of especially good players (Mundschin, Stohler, Geisser, Maissen, Ramseier, Muhmenthaler and Fischli) the right footed Maradan quickly became a key player. With Basel he won the Swiss Championship twice and played in the Swiss Cup Final 1982, but they were defeated 1:0 by FC Sion. He was Coppa delle Alpi winner once and four times winner of the Uhrencup. In the Uhrencup Final 1983 he scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot.
Following his successful time in Basel, Maradan returned to his family in Grenchen. He played for FC Grenchen for another two years before he retired. With the team he won the Uhrencup again in 1985.

# Blanket Creek

# Brice Creek (Trent River tributary)

Brice Creek is a 12.23 mi (19.68 km) long 3rd order tributary to the Trent River in Craven County, North Carolina.

## Course

Brice Creek is formed at the confluence of East Prong and West Prong Brice Creek about 6 miles northwest of Havelock, North Carolina and then flows north-northwest to join the Trent River about 0.5 miles southwest of James City.

## Watershed

# Banded waveguide synthesis

Banded waveguides synthesis is a physical modeling synthesis method to simulate sounds of dispersive sounding objects, or objects with strongly inharmonic resonant frequencies efficiently. It can be used to model the sound of musical instruments based on elastic solids such as vibraphone and marimba bars, singing bowls and bells. It can also be used for other instruments with inharmonic partials, such as membranes or plates. For example, simulations of tabla drums and cymbals have been implemented using this method. Because banded waveguides retain the dynamics of the system, complex non-linear excitations can be implemented. The method was originally invented in 1999 by Georg Essl and Perry Cook to synthesize the sound of bowed vibraphone bars.
In the case of the standard one-dimensional wave equation $y_{tt}=c^{2}y_{xx}$ disturbances of all frequencies travel with the same constant speed $c$. In dispersive media, the traveling speed of disturbances depends on their frequency, and we get $c(\omega )$, where $\omega$ is the frequency of the disturbance. Many physical systems are dispersive, for example, the elastic beams described by the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation $y_{tt}=ky_{xxxx}$, where $k$ is a material constant.
Banded waveguides model dispersive behavior by splitting the propagation of disturbances into frequency bands. Each frequency band is modeled using a band-limited version of the standard digital waveguide method. Each frequency band is tuned to the resonant frequencies of the sounding object to be modeled to avoid any discretization error at the dominant and audible frequencies.
Banded waveguide synthesis is implemented in most available sound-synthesis libraries and programs such as:
* STK
* ChucK
* pd and Max/MSP via PerCoLate
* RTCMix
* SuperCollider
* CSound
* Common Lisp Music

# Psycho Man (song)

"Psycho Man" is a single by rock band Black Sabbath. It was originally released on the Reunion album in 1998, and was the first of two new singles from the album, the other being "Selling My Soul." The song reached number 3 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. The song was later included in Ozzy Osbourne's 2005 box set Prince of Darkness. The music and lyrics were written by singer Ozzy Osbourne and guitarist Tony Iommi. "Psycho Man" and "Selling My Soul" are the only Black Sabbath songs to be credited just to these two members. In Canada, the song reached number 24 on the RPM charts.
In 1999, "Psycho Man" was remixed by Danny Saber for No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees; music critic Robert Christgau regarded it as a highlight of the album.
As a drum machine would be used for "Selling My Soul", "Psycho Man" would prove to be the last original Black Sabbath song to feature Bill Ward on drums.

# Max Benitz

Max Benitz (born 14 March 1985) is an English writer, journalist, and former film and television actor.

## Education

Benitz was born in London. He attended Harrow School from 1998 to 2003, where he appeared in student productions of As You Like It, Hamlet, The Pirates of Penzance, and Me and My Girl. He completed two weeks' work experience as a filing clerk at the offices of The Spectator magazine. After seeing his performance as Midshipman Calamy in the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Boris Johnson, then editor of the Spectator, wrote that Benitz had shown "much the same dash and dispatch [as Calamy] in rescuing my Toyota from the car pound."
Benitz went on to study history at the University of Edinburgh. As an undergraduate, he completed a nine-month programme at University of Calcutta, after which, in 2007, he embarked, with friend and fellow University of Edinburgh student George Vlasto, in a journey from Calcutta to London by car. The trip, undertaken in a Hindustan Ambassador car, took ten weeks and covered 9,000 miles (14,000 km) in a route that passed through India, Pakistan, China, Central Asia, Turkey and Europe. As a part of journey, they raised more than £12,000 for the charities Future Hope in Calcutta and Royal Marsden Hospital on behalf of disadvantaged children.

## Acting career

Benitz was a teenager when acting in what may be his best known role, as Midshipman Peter Calamy in the 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Still a teenager, he next appeared in a small role as Huband in the 2005 TV movie of Thomas Hughes' novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. In 2007, Benitz featured prominently as James Harrogate in the two-part episode "Sins of the Father" of the tenth series of Trial & Retribution.
After 2007, concentrating on his journalism career, Benitz, as of 2023, has only appeared in two films The Water Diviner (2014) and ‘’Mara’’ (2018).

## Journalism

In 2008–2009, Benitz worked as an unpaid journalist for the MOBY Group and as a freelancer in Afghanistan, covering the activities of the British Army in that country. His book, Six Months Without Sundays: The Scots Guards in Afghanistan, was published by Birlinn in November 2011.

## Personal life

Benitz has one son with actress Olga Kurylenko, born on 3 October 2015.
Max Benitz married Celia Weinstock, granddaughter of Lord Weinstock at the Savoy Chapel in London on 10th March 2023.
He has another son with society jeweler Celia Weinstock on 9 November 2024.

# Shirley Montag Almon

Shirley Montag Almon (February 6, 1935 – September 29, 1975) was an American economist noted for the Almon Lag.

## Early life and education

Shirley Montag was born on February 6, 1935 in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, the eldest of seven children of Harold and Dorothea Montag. She was educated at Goucher College, Baltimore, and then for her PhD at Harvard University (1964). A core element of her PhD was published in Econometrica (1965), and introduced the now famous technique for estimating distributed lags.
