# Adolph Nehrkorn

Adolph Nehrkorn (29 December 1841, in Riddagshausen, today part of Braunschweig – 8 April 1916, in Braunschweig) was a German ornithologist and collector of bird eggs.
Adolph's father worked at the Abbey in Riddagshausen. His early schooling was at Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig. After working for some years as a farmer, he went to study at the University of Berlin. In 1866 he married Ellen Streichenberg. He took a great interest in birds, collecting their eggs. His large collection of eggs was bequeathed to the Berlin Zoological Museum (which in the present day is the Berlin's Natural History Museum).
The crimson-crowned flowerpecker (Dicaeum nehrkorni) and the Sangihe white-eye (Zosterops nehrkorni) are two avian species named in his honor.
# Duration neglect

Duration neglect is the psychological observation that people's judgments of the unpleasantness of painful experiences depend very little on the duration of those experiences. Multiple experiments have found that these judgments tend to be affected by two factors: the peak (when the experience was the most painful) and how quickly the pain diminishes. If it diminishes more slowly, the experience is judged to be less painful. Hence, the term "peak–end rule" describes this process of evaluation.
Duration neglect is a specific form of the more general extension neglect.

## Boundaries

Duration neglect appears to be limited to unfamiliar experiences. When research participants evaluate experiences with which they are or made familiar, such as a telephone ringing or their regular commute, they appear to be sensitive to the duration of experiences. Similarly, providing participants with a modulus (i.e., a standard of comparison) by which to evaluate the duration of events, also makes them sensitive to duration.

## Examples

In one study, Daniel Kahneman and Barbara Fredrickson showed subjects pleasant or aversive film clips. When reviewing the clips mentally at a later time, subjects did not appear to take the length of the stimuli into account, instead judging them as if they were only a series of affective "snapshots".
In another demonstration, Kahneman and Fredrickson with other collaborators had subjects place their hands in painfully cold water. Under one set of instructions, they had to keep their hand in the water for an additional 30 seconds as the water was slowly heated to a warmer but still uncomfortably cold level, and under another set of instructions they were to remove their hand immediately. Otherwise, both experiences were the same. Most subjects chose to repeat the longer experience. Subjects apparently judged the experience according to the peak–end rule (in other words, according to its worst and final moments only), paying little attention to duration.
Duration neglect can be observed in medicine, as it may lead patients to be inaccurate when judging whether their symptoms are improving with treatment.

## Debiasing

Some forms of duration neglect may be reduced or eliminated by having participants answer in graphical format, or give a rating for every five minutes. Duration neglect is a subtype of extension neglect and a component of affective forecasting.

# Aden-Owen-Carlsberg Triple Junction

The Aden-Owen-Carlsberg Triple Junction (AOC), also known as the Arabia–India–Somalia Triple Junction, is a triple junction that connects the Aden Ridge, Owen Fracture Zone, and Carlsberg Ridge in the northwest Indian Ocean.
It has been described as one of only three RRF (ridge-ridge-fault) triple junctions on Earth, besides the Azores Triple Junction and Chile Triple Junction. However, because the fault arm of such unstable triple junctions tend to evolve into a spreading centre, all three cases have quickly evolved into stable RRR triple junctions.
Since a reorganisation of the involved tectonic plates c. 10 Ma the AOC moves in discrete steps westward along the Aden Ridge. West of the southern termination of the Owen fracture Zone, the Beautemps-Beaupré Basin, a new plate boundary develops and the basin will be transferred from the Arabian Plate to the Indian Plate in a near future.
The Carlsberg Ridge was opened between the Seychelles and India in the Early Tertiary and has since undergone three stages of spreading. A first, fast stage 61 to 51 Ma with a 6 cm/year (2.4 in/year) half-rate spreading; a second 39 to 23 Ma ultra-slow (0.6 cm/year (0.24 in/year)) stage during the India-Eurasia collision; followed by the present slow (1.2 cm/year (0.47 in/year)) spreading which reaches 2.2 ± 0.1 cm/year (0.866 ± 0.039 in/year) in its northern end. This latest stage was initiated by the opening of the Gulf of Aden during which the Aden Ridge began to quickly propagate westward at a rate of 200 km (120 mi)/Ma.
The Owen Fracture Zone, together with the Dalrymple Trough in its northern end, is a transform fault along which spreading between the Arabian and Indian Plates at the Carlsberg Ridge becomes the subduction of the Himalayan orogeny. The Owen Fracture Zone passes east of the Owen Ridge which was uplifted during the opening of the eastern Gulf of Aden in the Early Miocene. North of the Aden-Owen-Carlsberg Triple Junction the Owen Fracture Zone is quiet for 250 km (160 mi) but right-lateral slip along its active segments indicates that Arabia is moving northward faster than India.
The relative motion between the Nubian and Somalian plates before 3.2 Ma is difficult to determine since the movement in the Southwest Indian Ridge is extremely slow. Analysing the Aden-Owen-Carlsberg Triple Junction, however, geologists have been able to determine that before 11 Ma the Nubia-Somalia relative motion was faster than today and contained a significant strike-slip component.
# Dynamo Stadium (Stavropol)

# 1726 Hoffmeister

1726 Hoffmeister, provisional designation 1933 OE, is a carbonaceous asteroid and namesake of the Hoffmeister family from the central region of the asteroid belt, approximately 23 kilometers in diameter.
It was discovered on 24 July 1933, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory in southwest Germany, and named after astronomer Cuno Hoffmeister.

## Orbit and classification

Hoffmeister is the namesake and lowest-numbered member of the very compact Hoffmeister family (519), which, based upon its low albedo, was most likely formed from the breakup of a 50–100 kilometer-sized, carbon-rich parent body within the past several hundred million years.
It orbits the Sun in the central main-belt at a distance of 2.7–2.9 AU once every 4 years and 8 months (1,700 days; semi-major axis of 2.79 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.04 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic. It was first identified as 1924 UA at the Yerkes Observatory in 1924, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 9 years prior to its official discovery observation at Heidelberg.

## Physical characteristics

In the SMASS classification, Hoffmeister is characterized as a Cb-type, a subtype of the carbonaceous C-complex.

### Diameter and albedo

According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Hoffmeister measures between 22.03 and 25.67 kilometers in diameter, and its surface has a low albedo between 0.03 and 0.05. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 17.4 kilometers with an absolute magnitude of 12.53.

### Rotational lightcurve

In December 2009, a rotational lightcurve of Hoffmeister was obtained from photometric observations by astronomers at the Palomar Transient Factory in California. It gave a rotation period of 11.7058±0.0056 hours with a brightness variation of 0.40 magnitude (U=2).

## Naming

This minor planet was named in memory of German astronomer Cuno Hoffmeister (1892–1968), who founded the Sonneberg Observatory in 1925, and became one of its directors (see 1039 Sonneberga). Hoffmeister discovered thousands of variable stars, co-discovered comet C/1959 O1, thoroughly investigated a large number of meteors, and discovered 5 minor planets: 2183 Neufang, 3203 Huth, 3674 Erbisbühl, 4183 Cuno (which was later named after him) and 4724 Brocken. The lunar crater Hoffmeister was also named in his honor. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3933).

# Hitachi Furyumono

The Hitachi Furyumono (日立風流物) is a parade in Hitachi city, Japan. It is held during Hitachi Sakura Matsuri (日立さくらまつり), the annual cherry blossom festival in April, and the Great Festival at the local Kamine Shrine [ja] once in every seven years in May. It is inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists as a part of "Yama, Hoko, Yatai, float festivals in Japan [ja]", 33 traditional Japan festivals.

## Parade

Furyumono is a puppet show performed onstage on the floats. Each of four local communities - Kita-machi (北町), Higashi-machi (東町), Nishi-machi (西町) and Moto-machi (元町) - has their own float. During the annual festival, one community presents its parade float each year. During the Great Festival at Kamine Shrine, the four communities compete for the most skilled puppeteers and the best hospitality to the local deity.
The floats are five tons in weight, 15 meters in height, and from 3 to 8 meters in width. Each of them has a five-storied stage, and on each stage puppets play a scene of one story respectively.
Each puppet is controlled by three to five puppeteers manipulating the ropes.

## History

The origin of the parade goes back to 1695. According to Kamine Shrine, Tokugawa Mitsukuni, the second lord of Mito Domain, appointed Kamine Shrine as the Sou-Chinju, the local tutelary shrine. People held religious festivals and dedicated floats to the shrine.
In the early 18th century, a puppet show began supposedly imitating Ningyō jōruri, the puppet theater with chanted narration that was very popular in Edo and Osaka area at that time.
In 1945, most of the floats were lost in the war disasters, but Furyumono was restored in 1958. In addition, the existing float was registered as the Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property in 1959.
In 1977, Furyumono was registered as the Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
In 2009, it was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists with the Yamahoko parade of Gion Matsuri.　In 2016, these two parades and 31 traditional festivals were registered on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists as "Yama, Hoko, Yatai, float festivals in Japan [ja]", the representative examples showing the diversity of Japan local cultures.
