# Flag of Curaçao

The national flag of Curaçao represents the country of Curaçao as well as the island area within the Netherlands Antilles from 1984 until its dissolution in 2010.
The flag is a blue field with a horizontal yellow stripe slightly below the midline and two white, five-pointed stars in the canton. The blue symbolises the sea and sky (the bottom and top blue sections, respectively), divided by a yellow stroke representing the bright sun which bathes the island. The two stars represent Curaçao and Klein Curaçao, with the five points on each star symbolise the five continents from which Curaçao's people descend.
The horizontal stripes have a ratio of 5:1:2 (blue:yellow:blue). The stars have diameters 1⁄6 and 2⁄9 of the flag height. The centre of the smaller one is 1⁄6 the flag height from the left and top edges, and the centre of the larger is 1⁄3 from the left and top edges. The blue is Pantone 280, and the yellow, Pantone 102.
After Aruba's adoption of its own flag (while still part of the Netherlands Antilles), Curaçao received approval for a flag in 1979. Two thousand designs were submitted to a special council; ten were shortlisted, and the council decided on 29 November 1982. With some modifications, the flag was adopted on 2 July 1984.

# Strontium fluoride

Strontium fluoride, SrF$_2$, also called strontium difluoride and strontium(II) fluoride, is a fluoride of strontium. It is a brittle white crystalline solid. In nature, it appears as the very rare mineral strontiofluorite.

## Preparation

Strontium fluoride is prepared by the action of hydrofluoric acid on strontium carbonate.

## Structure

The solid adopts the fluorite structure. In the vapour phase the SrF$_2$ molecule is non-linear with an F−Sr−F angle of approximately 120°. This is an exception to VSEPR theory which would predict a linear structure. Ab initio calculations have been cited to propose that contributions from d orbitals in the shell below the valence shell are responsible. Another proposal is that polarization of the electron core of the strontium atom creates an approximately tetrahedral distribution of charge that interacts with the Sr−F bonds.

## Properties

It is almost insoluble in water (its K$_{sp}$ value is approximately 2.0x10$^{−10}$ at 25 degrees Celsius).
It irritates eyes and skin, and is harmful when inhaled or ingested. Similar to CaF$_2$ and BaF$_2$, SrF$_2$ displays superionic conductivity at elevated temperatures.
Strontium fluoride is transparent to light in the wavelengths from vacuum ultraviolet (150 nm) to infrared (11 μm). Its optical properties are intermediate to calcium fluoride and barium fluoride.

## Uses

Strontium fluoride is used as an optical material for a small range of special applications, for example, as an optical coating on lenses and also as a thermoluminescent dosimeter crystal.
Another use is as a carrier of strontium-90 radioisotope in radioisotope thermoelectric generators.

# Berthold IV, Duke of Zähringen

Berthold IV, Duke of Zähringen (c. 1125 – 8 December 1186) was a Duke of Zähringen and Rector of Burgundy. He was the son of Conrad I, Duke of Zähringen and Clementia of Luxembourg-Namur. He founded numerous cities, including Fribourg.

## Life

Berthold IV succeeded his father, Conrad I, in 1152 as Duke of Zähringen. Berthold also claimed the title of "Duke of Burgundy", which he had agreed upon with Barbarossa to receive after conquering the Cisjuran ("French") territories of Burgundy together and also helping him out in his Italian campaign in 1152. However, the conquest of Burgundy failed and in 1156 the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa instead married Beatrice, the daughter of the last Count of Burgundy of the House of Ivrea. This interfered with Berthold's claims and Berthold was given the title of Rector of Burgundy and was made overlord over the Transjuran ("Swiss") parts of Burgundy, Geneva, Lausanne and Sion.
The rivalry with Duke Frederick IV of neighbouring Swabia caused him to fight on the side of Welf VI in the Feud of Tübingen (1164–1166). In 1173, he became overlord of Zurich.
An entry in the necrology of the Abbey of Saint Peter in the Black Forest reads Berchtoldus 4. dux de Zaeringen, officium cum 5 candelis. Depositio Iohannis Tüfer abbatis: "Berthold IV, Duke of Zähringen donated 5 candles for the memory of John the Baptist".

## Marriages and issue

Berthold IV was married to Heilwig of Frohburg, with whom he had three children:
* Berthold V, the last Duke of Zähringen. After his death, the counts of Kyburg and Urach inherited the Zähringen possessions
* Agnes, married to Count Egino IV of Urach — According to the necrology of Tennenbach Abbey, she was the daughter of Berthold V
* Anna, married to Count Ulrich III of Kyburg. They were the maternal grandparents of king Rudolf I of Germany.

# Lewandowski-Kurowicka-Joe distribution

In probability theory and Bayesian statistics, the Lewandowski-Kurowicka-Joe distribution, often referred to as the LKJ distribution, is a probability distribution over positive definite symmetric matrices with unit diagonals.

## Introduction

The LKJ distribution was first introduced in 2009 in a more general context by Daniel Lewandowski, Dorota Kurowicka, and Harry Joe. It is an example of the vine copula, an approach to constrained high-dimensional probability distributions.
The distribution has a single shape parameter $\eta$ and the probability density function for a $d\times d$ matrix $\mathbf {R}$ is
    $p(\mathbf {R} ;\eta )=C\times [\det(\mathbf {R} )]^{\eta -1}$
with normalizing constant $C=2^{\sum _{k=1}^{d-1}(2\eta -2+d-k)(d-k)}\prod _{k=1}^{d-1}\left[B\left(\eta +(d-k-1)/2,\eta +(d-k-1)/2\right)\right]^{d-k}$, a complicated expression including a product over Beta functions. For $\eta =1$, the distribution is uniform over the space of all correlation matrices; i.e. the space of positive definite matrices with unit diagonal.

## Usage

The LKJ distribution is commonly used as a prior for correlation matrix in Bayesian hierarchical modeling. Bayesian hierarchical modeling often tries to make an inference on the covariance structure of the data, which can be decomposed into a scale vector and correlation matrix. Instead of the prior on the covariance matrix such as the inverse-Wishart distribution, LKJ distribution can serve as a prior on the correlation matrix along with some suitable prior distribution on the scale vector. It has been implemented in several probabilistic programming languages, including Stan and PyMC.
