# Black Gate (capacitor)

Black Gate is the name of a brand of audio grade electrolytic capacitor made in Japan by Rubycon Corporation. They have acquired a reputation for very high quality for use in the signal path, and power supplies, of audio circuitry.
The quality of capacitors may vary considerably depending on their construction and the type of insulating materials used. They are also known to deteriorate (or "drift") over time, just like any electrolytic capacitor.
The Black Gate capacitors are considered by some (Audio Note among others) to be the best electrolytic capacitor ever made although they are now discontinued. They do however, continue to be held in high regard by many high-end Hi-Fi manufacturers; Due to dwindling stock and demand, prices have skyrocketed lately. Many of their capacitors on the market are now fakes or just not available.
Black Gate capacitors base their manufacture on something called 'The Transcendent Electron Transfer' theory. The manufacturer attributes the capacitor's sonic quality to the use of fine graphite particles used in the separator between its anode and cathode. While the manufacturer may claim that graphite (graphite is a conductor not insulator) is used as the dielectric in its capacitors, the truth is the carbon impregnated paper inside the Black Gate capacitors was the cathode, the aluminum foil was the anode and the alumina (aluminum oxide) layer that formed on the surface of the aluminum anode was the dielectric (separator) between the two plates. Since aluminum oxide has the characteristics well suited for its dielectric duty to insulate the cathode from the anode whilst permitting a relatively high flux environment as the oxide layer formed could be very thin allowing the plates to be very close to each other, thus increasing capacitance.

## Settling-in Period

Many audiophiles believe it can take many hours before the maximum sonic benefits are heard in audio circuits that use Black Gates. This long settling-in procedure is often a controversial issue when auditioning such equipment, as the frequency response is said to tend to shift around greatly during this period, making the equipment sound different from one audition to another. Once completely 'burnt-in' however, the benefits are said to be heard clearly. This settling period or burn in period was most likely attributed to the aluminum layer completing its reaction to form a complete and stable oxide layer on its surface once current and voltage are applied to the capacitor in a circuit.

## Production

The Black Gate production has stopped in 2006, said to be caused by problems between Jelmax Co., Ltd. and Rubycon Corp., after 18 years of availability. The capacitors were manufactured by Rubycon under license for Jelmax Co., Ltd. which should close its doors in August 2007, once all their stocks get sold out.
Once the capacitors will become unavailable, or the current stocks become too old to be used due to deterioration, alternatives will have to be found. The Black Gate was very affordable when comparing it to some other similar-performing capacitors, and was easily available.
# Blake Pier at Stanley

Blake Pier at Stanley (Chinese: 赤柱卜公碼頭) is a public pier in Stanley, Hong Kong. The name originally referred to Blake Pier, Central, a ferry pier in Central, Hong Kong. The pier was named after Sir Henry Arthur Blake, the twelfth governor of Hong Kong. It was originally located at the site of the Central Reclamation Phase 1 project.
The top structure of the pier was later transferred to the open-air oval theatre in Morse Park, in between Wong Tai Sin and Lok Fu, Kowloon. In 2006, the structure was once again transferred next to the Murray House in Stanley, itself dismantled brick by brick and relocated from Central. The pier was recommissioned in Stanley on 31 July 2007.
3D Laser Scanning Technology in digital recording of structures was applied to capture the 3D images of the roof structure. The pier has one kai-to route travelling between Aberdeen and Po Toi Island, via the pier operated by Tsui Wah Ferry.

# Blown oil

A blown oil is a drying oil which has been modified through an oxidative process.

## Description

Oils are "blown" through partial oxidation of the oil at elevated temperatures. A typical blowing process involves heating the oil to 70 to 120 °C (158 to 248 °F) and passing air through the liquid. The modification causes the formation of C-O-C and C-C cross links, and hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups.
Blown oils are chemically different from oils modified only by heating, which are known as stand oils.
Some common types of oils that can be blown include linseed oil, rapeseed oil, castor oil and soybean oil.
# Blowout, Texas

Blowout is an unincorporated community in Blanco County, Texas, United States.

## History

This community dates back to 1854 when a group of two-dozen homesteaders moved to the area from Kentucky and settled on the east side of Comanche Creek near Comanche Spring, about three miles below the origin of the creek. It began to grow into a community as more settlers arrived and moved upstream. The origin of the name "Blowout" is reported to be due to a bat guano explosion, when ammonia and other gases built up inside the cave and lightning struck its mouth. The cave was named Blowout Cave and was located on the east side of the creek and was home to 1,000 bats. There is little trace of the community today, as only several scattered houses are located among the rocky hills.
In 1875, the community had several businesses. A post office was established at Blowout that year and remained in operation until 1918. It ran through Fredericksburg to Willow City to Blowout. Mail was also delivered from nearby Burnet. There was one brief interruption when the creeks and rivers flooded due to heavy rain and when the mail carrier was arrested for "abstracting money". Settlers sold wagon loads of bat guano for fertilizer and appeared to have ended briefly, until local rancher Frank Lacy discovered gold in a nearby creek in 1896, thus causing a gold rush in the community.

## Geography

Blowout is located 15 mi (24 km) northwest of Johnson City in northwestern Blanco County.

## Education

Blowout is served by the Johnson City Independent School District.

## Media

# Blackburn and District Weavers', Winders' and Warpers' Association

The Blackburn and District Weavers' Winders' and Warpers' Association was a trade union representing cotton industry workers in Blackburn, Lancashire, in England. One of the earliest weavers' unions to endure, it formed a model that many others copied, and was at the centre of early attempts to form a regional federation of cotton trade unions.
The union was founded in 1854, as the Blackburn Weavers' Friendly Society. While some previous unions of weavers had been formed, only the small Radcliffe Weavers' Society proved enduring, and it was the model of the Blackburn union which was copied in other Lancashire towns. As the pre-eminent weavers' union, in 1856 it formed the Power Loom Weavers' Association of Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire, soon less ambitiously renamed as the Power Loom Weavers' Association of North and South Lancashire. The federation soon suffered from disputes, with most other affiliates leaving in 1858 to form the North East Lancashire Amalgamated Weavers' Association. This "First Amalgamation" proved far more successful, but Blackburn refused to join. However, in 1884 it did become a founding member of the new Amalgamated Weavers' Association (AWA).
In 1885, one branch of the union split away, forming the rival Blackburn Power Loom Weavers' Protection Society. This remained significantly smaller than the original union, which grew to 12,500 members by 1900, and peaked 20,000 by 1920, before a long decline in the industry. The Protection Society became associated with the Conservative Party, but finally rejoined in 1949, while in 1960 the neighbouring Darwen Weavers', Winders' and Warpers' Association merged in.
In 1901, the union was involved in a dispute which led it to picket workplaces. Encouraged by the Taff Vale decision against a trade union which had gone on strike, employers took action against the union which ended up costing it £11,000. This led the union, through the United Textile Workers' Factory Association, to shift its support to the new Labour Representation Committee, forerunner of the Labour Party..
The union survived until 1986, when declining membership led it to merge into the GMB.

# Bob Delyn a'r Ebillion

Bob Delyn a'r Ebillion (transl. Every Harp and the Pegs) are a folk-rock group from Wales, who sing both in Welsh and Breton.

## History

Fronted by Prifardd (transl. Chief Bard) Twm Morys, Bob Delyn a'r Ebillion are a major figure in the history of Welsh folk revival in the early 1990s. Their music combines an eclectic array of influences and instruments with more traditional Welsh folk and roots sounds.
Their debut album was released in 1990, which was according to Blake (2017) a time "when Welsh – in the arts and in daily life – was at a particularly low ebb." He goes on to state that the band were one of the first to form what was the inception of a new era of Welsh language music, which would lead on to the increased relevance of the language across the country.
One track written by the band, Cân John Williams, is typical of their identity. It speaks of John Williams, a man residing in a valley in the Black Mountains, who was one of only five Welsh speakers left.
Another track, Fy Mendith ar y Llwybrau, recalls a trip made by Morus to Canada and his longing for home during the journey.
The group's use of both Welsh and Breton has been praised, in tracks such as Meur a Wech, for showing "both the similarities and the differences between the two ancient Celtic languages."
In 2017 they released their first album in thirteen years, entitled Dal i ‘Redig Dipyn Bach.

# Bob Dempsey

Robert "Dr. Bob" Dempsey is a NASA flight director for the International Space Station, selected in 2005. As astronomer he worked at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) prior to joining the ISS project. For five years he worked in the Onboard Data Interfaces and Networks (ODIN) group and then as a Communication and Tracking Officer before being selected as a flight director in 2005. He was the lead flight director for Expedition 15, worked several ISS assembly missions including STS-122 (1E), STS-123 (1J/A), and STS-124 (1J), and was the lead for STS-130 (20A) and for ATV-2 (Johannes Kepler). He works with Boeing on the Commercial Crew Program's CST-100 (Starliner) vehicle.
He was an undergraduate at University of Michigan, and received his Ph.D. in physics and astronomy from the University of Toledo. He grew up in Michigan, is married to his wife Dorothea, and he enjoys cooking and traveling. Dempsey is a member of the International Astronomical Union

## Expedition 15

Dempsey oversaw the jettisoning of the 1,400-pound (640 kg), refrigerator-sized Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS), along with an unused stanchion which had previously held a camera, from the International Space Station during Expedition 15. What is left of the refrigerator after re-entry impacted Earth in the summer of 2008. Dempsey stated that the decision to jettison the equipment in this required some planning, saying "It's not a decision that's made lightly. Besides the fact that it might have some use in the future, it provides space debris that could later impact the space station," and further adding that this was necessary largely due to space and timing constraints on available Space Shuttle payloads.
# Bliesgau

The Bliesgau is a region in the state of Saarland in the south-west of Germany and borders with France. It is named after the River Blies, which is a tributary to the Saar.
Blieskastel is the principal town of the district. Other towns in the area include Gersheim, Mandelbachtal and Wolfersheim. The region forms part of the larger Muschelkalk geological zone.
Historically the district is first recorded in the seventh century when it formed part of the lands of the Bishopric of Metz, along with neighbouring Sankt Ingbert. It was ruled by Counts of Bliesgau.

## Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve

The district Einöd is part of the biosphere reserve Bliesgau with the Pfänderbachtal in Einöd forming a core zone of 45 hectares. The region is a sanctuary for many rare animal and plant species such as the little owl, beaver, red kite, lizard orchid, and the yellow rattle. Almost half of all types of orchids that occur in Germany can be found here, on the vast, semi-dry grasslands that cover formations of limestone. Over the years the area has become a breeding ground for storks and nests with young birds can be observed. At certain periods dozens of storks can be observed in the air or on the ground.
The Bliesgau is located at the south-eastern corner of Saarland, bordering France and Rhineland-Palatinate. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and cultural richness. The area is characterized by wide meadow orchards, beech groves and the impressive meadow landscape of the Blies river. Because of its picturesque landscape it is often referred to as the "Tuscany of Saarland". On May 26, 2009, the Bliesgau was recognized by the UNESCO as a German Biosphere Reserve.

# Bombardment of Tripoli (1828)

The Bombardment of Tripoli in 1828 was a naval engagement fought between the navies of Tripoli and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. After the Pasha of Tripoli demanded money from the Kingdom of Two Sicilies in exchange for peace, the Neapolitan government sent a squadron to Tripoli to refuse the Tripolitanian demands and attempt to coerce the Tripolitanians away from war. Upon receiving the news that the Neapolitans refused the Tripolitanians demands, the Pasha declared war on the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
As a result of the Pasha's declaration of war the Neapolitan squadron offshore began a blockade of the coast of Tripoli on 23 August 1828. The Neapolitans attempted to move into the harbor to bombard the city into submission but were forced into an engagement with the Tripolitanian navy and repelled. The next few days saw further unsuccessful attempts by the Neapolitans at bombarding the city and engaging the Tripolitanian fleet. Suffering losses and having made no progress against forcing Tripoli to abandon its demands for payment, the Neapolitan fleet withdrew on 29 August and sailed back to Naples. The war continued on uneventfully to October when through French mediation the Neapolitans finally acquiesced to the Tripolitanian demands.
