# LaVelle Smith Jr.

LaVelle Smith Jr is an American choreographer and dancer. Known for his work in the music videos of singers such as En Vogue, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Beyoncé Knowles, Smith has won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography five times.

## Biography

Smith had originally wanted to pursue a career in drama, auditioning at the Youth Performing Arts School in Louisville, Kentucky. Upon failing the audition, Smith was given the option to study dance. Graduating from YPAS in 1983, Smith moved to Chicago and was employed by Gus Giordano in the dance troupe Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago. Unhappy with the level of pay, Smith auditioned for numerous dancing roles, while facing racial prejudice. "When that happens, you realize that you have to be even better or move to L.A. where it doesn't matter," he said later.
Noticed by singer Michael Jackson, Smith landed a job as a dancer before becoming his choreographer. Smith worked on three of Jackson's world tours; Bad, Dangerous and HIStory. He also worked as a choreographer in Michael Jackson's Ghosts, and for the musical Thriller - Live.
Smith appeared on the concert tours of The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 Tour. Smith also worked for Victoria Beckham after the Spice Girl made a return as a solo artist.
Smith was awarded four MTV Video awards for co-choreographing En Vogue's music videos "My Lovin'" (1992), "Free Your Mind" (1993), "Whatta Man" (1994) and Michael Jackson's duet with sister Janet, "Scream" (1995). The music video for Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" won Smith his fifth MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography in 2003.
His other awards include a SSDC Bob Fosse award and an Emmy award. Smith was also the youngest inductee into the Millers Gallery of Greats.
Smith has choreographed Invincible: A Glorious Tribute To Michael Jackson featuring Jeffrey Perez and Pete Carter.
Smith's work with Michael Jackson is the subject of the 2019 documentary film The Man Behind The Dance.

## Personal life

Moving from Los Angeles, California back to South Shields, England in 2001, the choreographer wanted to get away from the expensive party lifestyle of the city and open up a Kebab shop called Hot Bitez. Michael Jackson's guitarist, Jennifer Batten also lives in the town.
In his leisure time, Smith enjoys inspiring others to pursue their dreams and holds a free dance class at the Home of the Innocents. The free entry is due to Smith recalling "being young and not being able to afford dance classes. I just want to inspire them. There are opportunities out there, and it may just be a sentence that you say that they latch on to and that sparks them."

# ANIMAL (image processing)

ANIMAL (first implementation: 1988 - revised: 2004) is an interactive environment for image processing that is oriented toward the rapid prototyping, testing, and modification of algorithms. To create ANIMAL (AN IMage ALgebra), XLISP of David Betz was extended with some new types: sockets, arrays, images, masks, and drawables.
The theoretical framework and the implementation of the working environment is described in the paper "ANIMAL: AN IMage ALgebra".
In the theoretical framework of ANIMAL a digital image is a boundless matrix with its history. However, in the implementation it is bounded by a rectangular region in the discrete plane and the elements outside the region have a constant value. The size and position of the region in the plane (focus) is defined by the coordinates of the rectangle. In this way all the pixels, including those on the border, have the same number of neighbors (useful in local operators, such as digital filters). Furthermore, pixelwise commutative operations remain commutative on image level, independently on focus (size and position of the rectangular regions). The history is a list which tracks the operations and parameters applied to the matrix. This mechanism is useful to document algorithms and generate new functions.
ANIMAL has been ported to R, a freely available language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.

## Properties

ANIMAL offers the following key properties for image processing:
- Interactive environment facilitating rapid prototyping, testing, and modification of algorithms.
- Extends XLISP with new types including sockets, arrays, images, masks, and drawables.
- Defines images as bounded matrices with a history, facilitating algorithm documentation and function generation.
- Implements image processing operations within rectangular regions, ensuring consistent pixel neighborhoods and commutative operations.
- Ported to R, enabling its use in statistical computing and graphics.
# Robert Stuart MacArthur

Robert Stuart MacArthur (July 31, 1841 – February 23, 1923) was a Baptist preacher, lecturer, and author. He was a longtime pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church in New York City, raising it to prominence in his more than 40 years there.

## Biography

Born in Dalesville, Quebec, Canada, MacArthur converted at the age of 13. He attended Grammar School No. 35 and then graduated from the University of Rochester in 1867, and from Rochester Theological Seminary in 1870. He was ordained and became pastor of Calvary Baptist Church on May 15 of that year, and married Mary Elizabeth Fox on August 4.
At the time MacArthur became pastor, Calvary Baptist Church had 238 members. Within five years, church membership more than doubled, and church collections increased sixfold. MacArthur oversaw the construction of a new church building, the formation of three additional congregations, and a growth in membership in the "mother church" to 2300 members by 1910.
MacArthur's publications include hymnals, sermon collections, and apologetic works.
In 1906, MacArthur took what was a politically and socially unpopular stance against the Bronx Zoo's popular exhibition and custody of a black man with diminutive stature; an African Bushman named Ota Benga was caged with the zoo's monkeys. MacArthur publicly aligned himself with the city's black clergy and pledged his support to stop the zoo's exhibition. He deemed the well-attended show degrading, brutal and inconsistent with Christian values.
With a 41 year tenure, MacArthur served the longest of any pastor in the history of Calvary Baptist Church. MacArthur resigned as pastor from Calvary Baptist Church in 1911, and held the title of pastor emeritus until 1921, when he gave up the title to avoid association with what he called the "sensationalism" of then-pastor John Roach Straton. After further disagreement with the direction Calvary was going, MacArthur and his wife resigned membership in Calvary in 1922, and transferred membership to Old Cambridge Baptist Church, where his son was pastor.
MacArthur died in Florida on February 23, 1923 and was memorialized in New York that May.

Somewhere in the Sun... Best of the Dream Academy is a compilation album released by The Dream Academy in Japan in 2000. The compilation album contains the extended version of "Life in a Northern Town" and an acoustic version of "The Party" rather than the more common versions. At the time of its release, Nick Laird-Clowes revealed that the band actually had no involvement with the album, and he went on further to say that they weren't even informed by Warners that a compilation album was being made. His former label boss, Alan McGee, then of Creation Records, was the one who actually brought him home a copy when he was visiting Japan on business. According to Kate St John, around the same time that this album was being made, Warner Brothers were considering a US compilation album, but they and the band decided to re-issue their first album, The Dream Academy.

# Scan conversion

Scan conversion or scan converting rate is a video processing technique for changing the vertical / horizontal scan frequency of video signal for different purposes and applications. The device which performs this conversion is called a scan converter.
The application of scan conversion is wide and covers video projectors, cinema equipment, TV and video capture cards, standard and HDTV televisions, LCD monitors, radar displays and many different aspects of picture processing.

## Mechanisms and methods

Scan conversion involves changing the picture information data rate and wrapping the new picture in appropriate synchronization signals. There are two distinct methods for changing a picture's data rate:

### Analog Methods (Non retentive, memory-less or real time method)

This conversion is done using large numbers of delay cells and is appropriate for analog video. It may also be performed using a specialized scan converter vacuum tube. In this case polar coordinates (angle and distance) data from a source such as a radar receiver, so that it can be displayed on a raster scan (TV type) display.

### Digital methods (Retentive or buffered method)

In this method, a picture is stored in a line or frame buffer with n1 speed (data rate) and is read with n2 speed, several picture processing techniques are applicable when the picture is stored in buffer memory including kinds of interpolation from simple to smart high order comparisons, motion detection and … to improve the picture quality and prevent the conversion artifacts.

## How to realize

The process in practice is applicable only using integrated circuits in LSI and VLSI scales. Timing, interference between digital and analog signals, clocks, noise and exact synchronization have important roles in the circuit. Digital conversion method needs the analog video signal to be converted to digital data at the first step. A scan converter can be made in its basic structure using some high speed integrated circuits as a circuit board however there are some integrated circuits which perform this function plus other picture processing functions like scissoring, change of aspect ratio and … an easy to use example was SDA9401.

## Some examples

Up conversion (interpolation):
* In many LCD monitors there is a native picture mode, however the monitor can display different graphical modes using a scan converter.
* In a 100 Hz/120 Hz analog TV, there is a scan converter circuit which converts the vertical frequency (refresh rate) from standard 50/60 Hz to 100/120 Hz to achieve a low level of flicker which is important in large screen (high inch) TVs.
* An external TV card receives the TV signals and converts them to VGA or SVGA format to display on monitor.
Down conversion (decimation):
* Many graphic cards have output for standard-definition television. Here there is a conversion from computer graphical modes to TV standard formats.
* Other graphic cards lack an SDTV output, but their VGA outputs can still be connected to an SDTV through an external scan converter (pictured).
Scan conversion serves as a bridge between TV and computer graphics technology.
# Lipina (Olomouc District)

Lipina is a municipality and village in Olomouc District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants.
Lipina lies approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) north of Olomouc and 213 km (132 mi) east of Prague.
# Tătaru Mare Island

Tătaru Mare Island (Romanian: Insula Tătaru Mare/Ostrovul Tătaru) is a Romanian island in the northernmost branch of the Danube Delta.

## Characteristics

The island has a surface area of 2,500 ha or 25 km$^2$ or 9.7 sq mi and is of high importance to the local agriculture, its soil having a yearly output of up to 5 tons of wheat or 10 tons of corn per hectare. The island is home to the eponymous Ostrovu Tătaru village, within the Chilia Veche commune. Starting 2015, a Norwegian-funded minimum security prison functions on the island.

## History

The island was part of Romania until the start of the Second World War. In the fall of 1940, the Romanian Danube islands of Tătaru Mare, Dalerul Mic, Dalerul Mare, Maican and Limba were occupied by the Soviet Union. All of the five islands were re-occupied by Axis-aligned Romania in July 1941 (Operation München), only to be lost again in 1944 after King Michael's Coup. In early 1948, the Soviet Union agreed to return Tătaru Mare Island back to Romanian rule, the only one of the five Danube islands ultimately recovered by Romania.

# RC Graz

RC Graz is an Austrian rugby club in Graz that plays in the highest domestic division.
The RC Graz Rugby Sevens team are the current Austrian 7s champions, as well as winning from 2013 to 2015 and finishing second in 2016.

## History

The club was founded in 1995 following a rise in interest in rugby due to the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa, which was the first rugby world cup to be shown on German-speaking free television. The same year, the club was initiated to the Austrian Rugby Federation (ÖRV) (now Rugby Österreich).
While initially there were struggles to be able to consistently field 15 players, the team was able to compete in the B-Division of the Austrian League. They improved over several years and were crowned champions from 1999/2000 to 2001/02.
While there has been some shifting in the league formats in the subsequent years, the team has mostly played at this level, winning the second division again in 2015 and even at times adequately competing at a higher level.
The team also performed well in the Austrian Challenge Cup, winning three times, and has performed well in the Austrian 7s Championship, winning three times in a row from 2013 to 2015.
In the short Autumn season in 2015, Graz was also the leading team in the ARC Championship Süd. The season was cut short due to a re-organisation of the Austrian league system, and due to this, no winner was crowned.
In 2016, RC Graz ascended into the ARC Premiership once again to compete at the highest level of domestic rugby.

## Women's Rugby

The RC Graz women's team plays exclusively Rugby Sevens, and plays in the Women's Bundesliga, the highest level of women's rugby in Austria.
The women's coach is Christian Tratnig.

# Pranas Domšaitis

Pranas Domšaitis (born Franz Karl Wilhelm Domscheit, 15 August 1880 – 14 November 1965) was a Prussian Lithuanian painter.
Born in Cropiens (now in Guryevsky District), a village in the East Prussia near Königsberg, Domšaitis spent his first 27 years as a farmer. Under the sponsorship of Max Liebermann he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Königsberg in 1907, graduating in 1910; this was his first formal schooling. He then travelled to, and studied at, various European capitals; he was strongly influenced by a meeting with Edvard Munch. He befriended and travelled with the artist Fritz Ascher from Berlin, who drew a portrait of him in 1919/20. He spent World War I partially on his parents' farm and partially in military service, and then resumed his travels and artistic career. His successful exhibitions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Romania, and Turkey were disastrously followed by his inclusion in a 1937 exhibition of Degenerate art and the removal of his works from German museums. In 1938 he began signing his pictures using the Lithuanian version of his name (he had taken Lithuanian citizenship in 1920). He spent the war painting "harmless" still lifes. In 1949 the University of Cape Town in South Africa offered his wife, the singer Adelheid Armhold, a position as a senior lecturer. He spent the rest of his life there.
His youthful style has been described as romantic realism or as spiritual impressionism, his later as a melding of "...Chagall's enchanting visions, the guileless piety of Rouault, the resonant colour of the expressionists, and the intuitive wisdom of the peasant." Landscapes and village life were frequent themes, along with Christian narratives, particularly the Annunciation, the Crucifixion, and the Flight into Egypt.
Domšaitis's works are held at the Pranas Domšaitis Gallery in Klaipėda, Lithuania, the M. K. Čiurlionis National Art Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania, the Pretoria Art Museum, the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, and the National Gallery in Berlin, among others. Many of his interwar works have disappeared.
