# Normal element

In mathematics, an element of a *-algebra is called normal if it commutates with its adjoint.

## Definition

Let ${\mathcal {A}}$ be a *-Algebra. An element $a\in {\mathcal {A}}$ is called normal if it commutes with $a^{*}$, i.e. it satisfies the equation $aa^{*}=a^{*}a$.
The set of normal elements is denoted by ${\mathcal {A}}_{N}$ or $N({\mathcal {A}})$.
A special case of particular importance is the case where ${\mathcal {A}}$ is a complete normed *-algebra, that satisfies the C*-identity ($\left\|a^{*}a\right\|=\left\|a\right\|^{2}\ \forall a\in {\mathcal {A}}$), which is called a C*-algebra.

## Examples

* Every self-adjoint element of a a *-algebra is normal.
* Every unitary element of a a *-algebra is normal.
* If ${\mathcal {A}}$ is a C*-Algebra and $a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{N}$ a normal element, then for every continuous function $f$ on the spectrum of $a$ the continuous functional calculus defines another normal element $f(a)$.

## Criteria

Let ${\mathcal {A}}$ be a *-algebra. Then:
* An element $a\in {\mathcal {A}}$ is normal if and only if the *-subalgebra generated by $a$, meaning the smallest *-algebra containing $a$, is commutative.
* Every element $a\in {\mathcal {A}}$ can be uniquely decomposed into a real and imaginary part, which means there exist self-adjoint elements $a_{1},a_{2}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{sa}$, such that $a=a_{1}+\mathrm {i} a_{2}$, where $\mathrm {i}$ denotes the imaginary unit. Exactly then $a$ is normal if $a_{1}a_{2}=a_{2}a_{1}$, i.e. real and imaginary part commutate.

## Properties
### In *-algebras

Let $a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{N}$ be a normal element of a *-algebra ${\mathcal {A}}$. Then:
* The adjoint element $a^{*}$ is also normal, since $a=(a^{*})^{*}$ holds for the involution *.

### In C*-algebras

Let $a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{N}$ be a normal element of a C*-algebra ${\mathcal {A}}$. Then:
* It is $\left\|a^{2}\right\|=\left\|a\right\|^{2}$, since for normal elements using the C*-identity $\left\|a^{2}\right\|^{2}=\left\|(a^{2})(a^{2})^{*}\right\|=\left\|(a^{*}a)^{*}(a^{*}a)\right\|=\left\|a^{*}a\right\|^{2}=\left(\left\|a\right\|^{2}\right)^{2}$ holds.
* Every normal element is a normaloid element, i.e. the spectral radius $r(a)$ equals the norm of $a$, i.e. $r(a)=\left\|a\right\|$. This follows from the spectral radius formula by repeated application of the previous property.
* A continuous functional calculus can be developed which – put simply – allows the application of continuous functions on the spectrum of $a$ to $a$.

# Pniel, Northern Cape

Pniel was a mission station established by the Berlin Missionary Society on the Vaal River between modern Barkly West and Kimberley, South Africa, in 1845.

## Establishment and early history

The Pniel Mission was established in 1845 by the Reverend August Wilhelm Winter, after exploratory expeditions from the Berlin Missionary Society (BMS) station at Bethanie. The missionaries had negotiated setting up a station with the Korana leader, Jan Bloem jnr.
Winter withdrew owing to ill health and was replaced by the Revd Ludwick Zerwick from Bethanie and Brother Nikolaas Meyfarth.
The Orange Free State claimed sovereignty over Pniel, and President Johannes Brand appointed a landrost to preside over it. A school, a courthouse and a prison were built, and the Free State Volksraad passed legislation to regulate the activities on alluvial diggings.
In 1847 an outstation was established at an old Wesleyan mission site at Platberg near the modern Warrenton, with the Revd Winter (now recovered) in charge. By 1851, however, Winter had retired yet again, choosing to return to Germany with his family, and was replaced by August Schmidt and F.W. Salzman.

## Prominent individuals associated with the mission

* Carl Wuras - missionary at Bethanie who directed the work at Pniel.
* Richard Miles - Tswana catechist, probably at Pniel in the late 1860s/early 1870s..
* Sol Plaatje - the Tswana author and first secretary of the African National Congress.
* August Winter - BMS missionary and father of Johannes August Winter
# Orthobaric density

The orthobaric density of a compound is the density of coexisting phases (liquid, gas, or solid) at a given temperature.

## Liquid - Gas Equilibrium

For any temperature below the critical point, the density of the gas will be less than that of the liquid. At the critical point, the density of the liquid and gas phases are identical and the compound becomes a supercritical fluid.
# Beehive Field

Beehive Field is a stadium in New Britain, Connecticut. The ballpark has a capacity of 4,700. It is primarily used for baseball and was the home of the New Britain Red Sox (Boston Red Sox AA affiliate) from the time of their move to the city in 1983 until moving next door to New Britain Stadium for the 1995 season. The Eastern League All-Star Game was played before 3,106 fans on June 29, 1987, with league-MVP Mark Grace and game-MVP Dwight Smith representing the Pittsfield Cubs. The Hartford Hawks baseball program used the venue for some home games prior to opening Fiondella Field in 2006.
As of 2000, Beehive Field was used primarily by New Britain High School baseball and softball teams.

# Angus Lake

Angus Lake is a lake located on Vancouver Island south of the Kennedy River below Kennedy Lake, east of the village of Ucluelet.
# Climate Action Tracker

Climate Action Tracker (CAT) is an independent scientific project with the aim of monitoring government action to achieve their reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with regard to international agreements – specifically the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.". It is tracking climate action in 39 countries and the EU responsible for over 85% of global emissions. The CAT is the product of two organisations: NewClimate Institute and Climate Analytics .
The actions it tracks are: - Effect of climate policies and action on emissions. - Impact of pledges, targets and NDCs on national emissions over the time period to 2030, and where possible beyond. - Comparability of effort against countries' fair share and modelled domestic pathways.

## COP26

Toward the end of the COP26 climate conference, CAT produced a report concluding that the current "wave of net‑zero emission goals [are] not matched by action on the ground" and that the world is likely headed for more than 2.4 °C of warming by the end of the century.

# Ortho acid

In organic chemistry, ortho acids are organic, hypothetical chemical compounds having the structure R−C(OH)$_3$ (R = alkyl or aryl).
Ortho acids themselves are unstable and cannot be isolated. However, ortho esters can be synthesized by the Pinner reaction, in which nitriles react with alcohols under acid catalysis:
    RCN + 3 R'OH → RC(OR')$_3$ + NH$_3$

## Historic definition

Historically the prefixes "hypo-", "per-", "ortho-", "meta-", and "pyro-" were used to distinguish between different oxyacids of the same element, of these ortho acid is the most highly oxidised or hydroxylated. For example, dehydration of orthoperiodic acid gives metaperiodic acid. Such naming conventions are now obsolete; however, various traditional names containing these prefixes have been retained in IUPAC nomenclature, namely:
* orthosilicic acid, Si(OH)$_4$
* orthotelluric acid, Te(OH)$_6$
* orthophosphoric acid, PO(OH)$_3$
* orthoboric acid, B(OH)$_3$

## Hypothetical chemical compounds

* orthoacetic acid, CH$_3$−C(OH)$_3$
* orthocarbonic acid, C(OH)$_4$
* orthoformic acid, HC(OH)$_3$
# Neptunea antiqua

Neptunea antiqua, common name the red whelk, is a species of Northeast Atlantic sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.

## Description

N. antiqua resembles Buccinum undatum (common whelk). It can grow to a length of 20 cm (7.9 in), although most specimens only reach half that size. It is the largest marine snail in parts of its range.

## Distribution

N. antiqua is found in the Northeast Atlantic along cold-temperate European coasts, ranging from the low water mark to a depth of 1,200 m (3,900 ft).

## Feeding

N. antiqua is primarily a scavenger, although it has been recorded attacking and eating some living polychaete species. Unlike several of its more predatory relatives, experiments have shown that even hungry N. antiqua are not attracted to living undamaged mussels.

## Food poisoning

N. antiqua contains tetramethylammonium salts (most likely the chloride) in its tissues, and has been the source of non-lethal human poisoning.

# Clavaporania

Clavaporania fitchorum is a species of starfish in the family Poraniidae. It is the only known species of the genus Clavaporania. It is native to the South Pacific Ocean and is found in deep water off the coast of Australia (it was discovered at Hjort Seamount, south of Macquarie Island).

## Description

Clavaporania fitchorum has a classical starfish shape with five short arms and a somewhat inflated body. The aboral surface is covered with club-shaped spinelets.

## Distribution

Clavaporania fitchorum has been found during a deep-sea survey by the US Antarctic Research Program at Hjort Seamount, off the coast of Macquarie Island, at 1600 meters deep. Even if this was the only recorded observation to date, this species may have a large distribution, as it is often the case with deep-sea species.

# Nes, Ådal

Nes i Ådal is a small village in the valley of Ådal in the municipality Ringerike in Buskerud, Norway.
The village lies on both sides of the river Begna, just north of the river's outlet in Lake Sperillen. It is situated on European route E16 north of Hønefoss, towards Valdres and Vestlandet. The road to Hedalen splits off from the E16 at Nes.
Nes is a common Norwegian place name. In Old Norse, the word Nes means headland or promontory. In the case of Nes i Ådal, the name derives from the old farm Nes, which in medieval times was under the Diocese of Hamar.
TGC Harnessing, a division of T&G Elektro, is the main employer in Nes. It was established 25 years ago. TGC Harnessing is known for supplying specialized cable systems of very high quality. The company is active in both design and production of harnesses and cable systems.
Nes Church (Nes Kirke) was built to provide a parish for the inhabitants of the eastern side of Lake Sperillen. Nes Church is a stately church with a tall steeple, cream colored wood siding and a bright red tile roof. The cruciform church dates from 1862. It was built based upon a design by architect Georg Andreas Bull. It was built of wood and has 900 seats. The church is the largest church in Hallingdal.
