# Pastorale (album)

Pastorale is an album by Italian pianist Stefano Battaglia with Michele Rabbia on electronics and percussion recorded in March 2009 and released on ECM the following year.

## Reception

The All About Jazz review by John Kelman said that "An album of contrasting dark thoughts and brighter ideations, the masterful Pastorale strikes an almost immediate subconscious chord. Resonating on a deep level, it's Battaglia's purest, most vividly evocative—and provocative—album to date."
The Independent's Phil Johnson said "The spare, nuanced music is as close to John Cage or Morton Feldman as it is to jazz, but despite the limited instrumentation a great variety of sound is conjured up."

# Isophote

In geometry, an isophote is a curve on an illuminated surface that connects points of equal brightness. One supposes that the illumination is done by parallel light and the brightness b is measured by the following scalar product:
    $b(P)={\vec {n}}(P)\cdot {\vec {v}}=\cos \varphi$
where ⁠${\vec {n}}(P)$⁠ is the unit normal vector of the surface at point P and ⁠${\vec {v}}$⁠ the unit vector of the light's direction. If b(P) = 0, i.e. the light is perpendicular to the surface normal, then point P is a point of the surface silhouette observed in direction ⁠${\vec {v}}.$⁠ Brightness 1 means that the light vector is perpendicular to the surface. A plane has no isophotes, because every point has the same brightness.
In astronomy, an isophote is a curve on a photo connecting points of equal brightness.

## Application and example

In computer-aided design, isophotes are used for checking optically the smoothness of surface connections. For a surface (implicit or parametric), which is differentiable enough, the normal vector depends on the first derivatives. Hence, the differentiability of the isophotes and their geometric continuity is 1 less than that of the surface. If at a surface point only the tangent planes are continuous (i.e. G1-continuous), the isophotes have there a kink (i.e. is only G0-continuous).
In the following example (s. diagram), two intersecting Bezier surfaces are blended by a third surface patch. For the left picture, the blending surface has only G1-contact to the Bezier surfaces and for the right picture the surfaces have G2-contact. This difference can not be recognized from the picture. But the geometric continuity of the isophotes show: on the left side, they have kinks (i.e. G0-continuity), and on the right side, they are smooth (i.e. G1-continuity).
* Isophotes on two Bezier surfaces and a G1-continuous (left) and G2-continuous (right) blending surface: On the left the isophotes have kinks and are smooth on the right

## Determining points of an isophote
### On an implicit surface

For an implicit surface with equation $f(x,y,z)=0,$ the isophote condition is ${\frac {\nabla f\cdot {\vec {v}}}{|\nabla f|}}=c\ .$ That means: points of an isophote with given parameter c are solutions of the nonlinear system ${\begin{aligned}f(x,y,z)&=0,\\[4pt]\nabla f(x,y,z)\cdot {\vec {v}}-c\;|\nabla f(x,y,z)|&=0,\end{aligned}}$ which can be considered as the intersection curve of two implicit surfaces. Using the tracing algorithm of Bajaj et al. (see references) one can calculate a polygon of points.

### On a parametric surface

In case of a parametric surface ${\vec {x}}={\vec {S}}(s,t)$ the isophote condition is
${\frac {({\vec {S}}_{s}\times {\vec {S}}_{t})\cdot {\vec {v}}}{|{\vec {S}}_{s}\times {\vec {S}}_{t}|}}=c\ .$
which is equivalent to $\ ({\vec {S}}_{s}\times {\vec {S}}_{t})\cdot {\vec {v}}-c\;|{\vec {S}}_{s}\times {\vec {S}}_{t}|=0\ .$ This equation describes an implicit curve in the s-t-plane, which can be traced by a suitable algorithm (see implicit curve) and transformed by ${\vec {S}}(s,t)$ into surface points.
# Zastava 620B

Zastava 620B was a crew cab (double cab) light utility truck, developed on the basis by Fiat 615, also produced by Zastava Automobiles under licence since 1961.

## Characteristics

Vehicle was equipped with Fiat's 1.9 liter gasoline engine, featuring seating places for 6 persons laid in two rows, with 3 or 4 doors and a flatbed. It kept the model's distinctive design feature - front suicide doors.

## Equipment

Truck was developed to carry six persons and 1,200 kg (2,600 lb) of payload. The vehicle was equipped with yellow rotating light and mobile reflector for lighting up roads at night work.
Vehicle was delivered in yellow color, which was mandatory for this type of vehicles. The front bumpers and rear body side were painted in red-white slanting stripes.
Production of this light utility truck flourished until 1969, when company started retooling and introducing new technologies. However, production of this model continued until 1976.

## Legacy

Zastava 615 and Zastava 620 earned somewhat a cult status in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. This truck had significant appearance in the cult Yugoslav TV series Kamiondžije (Truckers).
# Noel McGinley

Noel McGinley is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for Naomh Columba and the Donegal county team.
He played at the back.
McGinley played in the final of the 1998 Ulster Senior Football Championship. Late in that game, McGinley was involved in the game's crucial moment when Geoffrey McGonagle committed an apparent foul on him (which was ignored) and Joe Brolly scored the decisive goal.
He started Mickey Moran's first game in charge of Donegal, a league win at home to Offaly in October 2000.
He also played in the 2002 Ulster SFC final but never won the competition as a player. He played against Dublin in the 2002 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final.
He started the first game of Brian McEniff's last spell as Donegal manager, a league defeat to Galway in Tuam in February 2003.
McGinley's 2003 inter-county season ended when he was banned for three months over a kicking offence incurred while playing for his club ahead of the Donegal's All-Ireland semi-final against Armagh. He had previously been troubled by a hamstring injury and manager Brian McEniff had sent him back to his club to play one half of a game so as have sufficient match practice ahead of the All-Ireland semi-final. The ban was unexpected.

# Rasva

Rasva is a settlement in Rõuge Parish, Võru County in southeastern Estonia.
# Pontis

Pontis is a software application developed to assist in managing highway bridges and other structures. Known as AASHTOWare Bridge Management since version 5.2, Pontis stores bridge inspection and inventory data based on the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) National Bridge Inventory system coding guidelines. In addition, the system stores condition data for each of a bridge's structural elements.
The system is designed to support the bridge inspection process, recommend a bridge preservation policy, predict future bridge conditions, and recommend projects to perform on one or more bridges to derive the most agency and user benefit from a specified budget. The system uses a Markovian Decision Process to model bridge deterioration and recommend an optimal preservation policy. It uses the Markovian model results, in conjunction with a simulation model, to predict future conditions and recommend work.

## History

In 1991, the FHWA sponsored the development of a bridge management system called "Pontis" which is derived from the Latin pons, meaning bridge. The system is owned by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Many states began using Pontis when the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act required each state to implement a system. As of 2008 it was licensed by AASHTO to over 45 U.S. state transportation departments and other organizations in the U.S. and other countries.
InspectTech belonging to Bentley Systems is the contractor for ongoing development and support of Pontis. Previous Pontis developers included Cambridge Systematics, Inc., Optima, Inc., and the Michael Baker Corporation.
# Olga Mesmer

Olga Mesmer is a superpowered fictional character in a pulp magazine's comic strip published from 1937 to 1938. Like the newspaper comic-strip character Popeye (1929) and novelist Philip Wylie's protagonist Hugo Danner (1930), she is among the precursors of the archetypal comic-book superhero, Superman.

## Publication history

Olga Mesmer, "The Girl with the X-ray Eyes", starred in a single-page comic strip that ran in issues of the pulp magazine Spicy Mystery Stories cover-dated August 1937 to October 1938. The first story, "The Astounding Adventures of Olga Mesmer, the Girl with the X-Ray Eyes", and subsequent installments are by an unidentified writer. Art for the strip, created at a comics studio run by Adolphe Barreaux, is credited to Watt Dell, who sometimes signed his illustrations for the magazine as Watt Dell Lovett, and may be a pseudonym; as well, some of the Mesmer strips are signed "Stone".

## Powers and abilities

Mesmer's X-ray vision stemmed from experiments done on her Venusian mother, Margot, by her mad-scientist father, Dr. Hugo Mesmer, who exposed Margot to radiation.

## Legacy

With scientifically enhanced super-strength and X-ray vision, but no separate alter ego and with her powers kept secret, she nonetheless is considered by comics historian Will Murray as "the superhero before Superman", though an addition about her mother's extraterrestrial origin may have come only after Superman's debut. More generally, writes historian Peter Coogan, she is considered a precursor:
   The only clear superhero convention present is superpowers. But many science-fiction superfolk and mythical heroes before Olga had powers equal to or greater than hers, so if she is a superhero, she is not the first and the superhero genre extends back to the legend of Gilgamesh. ... There is more to superheroes than superpowers. Further, Mesmer lacks the codename and costume aspects of the identity convention. Her tale generically fits within the SF superman (or woman), genre, particularly in the way she gets her superpowers, seemingly drawing directly on Wylie's Gladiator for inspiration. ... Unlikely to have influenced [Superman creators] Siegel or Shuster, Olga Mesmer merely demonstrates the same point that the other comics precursors to Superman demonstrate: that, like the pulps before them, comic books and comic strips contained all the elements of the superhero — the powers, the mission, the identity — but it took Siegel and Shuster to put them all together into Superman.

# Harry Bullard

Sir Harry Bullard JP DL (3 March 1841 – 26 December 1903) was an English brewer and Conservative politician.
Bullard was born at Norwich, the son of Richard Bullard, who had founded the brewery company of Bullard & Watts in 1837. When Richard Bullard died in 1864, his three sons, Harry, Charley and Fred ran the brewery, erecting the new building in 1864 which still remains as a shell. In March 1895 the brewery was incorporated as a limited company.
In 1877, Harry Bullard was made Sheriff, and he was Mayor of Norwich in 1878, 1879 and 1886. At the 1885 general election Bullard was elected as one of the two Members of Parliament (MP) for Norwich, but he was unseated on petition. He was knighted in 1887. At the 1895 general election he stood successfully at Norwich, and held the seat until his death in 1903. He was made a Deputy Lieutenant of Norfolk in 1887, and also served as a Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for the county. He lived at Hellesdon House.
# No. 81 Squadron PAF

The No. 81 Search & Rescue Squadron nicknamed Kangaroos is a helicopter unit of the Pakistan Air Force. It operates French Alouette-III helicopters providing SAR coverage from PAF Base Peshawar. It also runs the Helicopter Flying Training School (HFTS) where PAF helicopter pilots receive basic training on rotorcrafts.

## History

The squadron was raised at its home base at Peshawar in 1963 as a Search and Rescue flight equipped with a few Alouette-IIIs. Its fleet was expanded over the years after which its status was raised to a squadron. Its main role was to maintain SAR coverage to PAF flying operations in and around Peshawar while operating from PAF Camp Badaber and PAF Base Peshawar.
In 1995, the squadron was upgraded to a Helicopter Flying Training School (HFTS) to carry out helicopter conversion courses for PAF pilots while also carrying on with its SAR role. It has since carried out 34 conversion courses which also included special courses for pilots from Saudi Arabia and UAE.

### Operational history

After TTP terrorists launched an attack on PAF Camp Badaber in 2015, the squadron's helicopters took active part in supporting roles. It provided vital aerial reconnaissance and rescue support to ground troops engaged in heavy fighting with the terrorists.
