# AF Andromedae

AF Andromedae (AF And) is a luminous blue variable (LBV), a type of variable star. The star is one of the most luminous variables in M31, the Andromeda Galaxy.

## Discovery

The star was discovered to be variable in 1927, with a photographic magnitude range of 15.3 to 16.5, at the Harvard College Observatory and designated HV 4013. It was considered to be the brightest variable star in M31. Two years later it was given the variable star designation AF Andromedae. Between 1917 and 1953, five or six major eruptions were detected and two or three minor ones. More eruptions were observed in 1970-74, 1987-92, 1998-2001, and 2017.
AF And was often referred to as var 19, after its number in a Hubble list of variable stars in M31 and M33. It was identified as one of the five Hubble–Sandage variables: Var A, Var B, Var C, and Var 2 in M33, and Var 19 in M31. On the basis of color–color comparisons, it was assigned as spectral type B and described as related to the P Cygni variables. Observations from 1960 to 1970 showed irregular variations in the B (blue) magnitude between 15.5 and 17.6, with visual magnitudes somewhat brighter. The first detailed spectrum was published in 1975.

## Spectrum

AF And in outbursts has a peculiar emission line spectrum described as very much like Eta Carinae, likely due to a dense stellar wind. When quiescent, the spectrum is similar to late Of or WN stars.
AF And has prominent allowed and forbidden Fe$_{II}$ and hydrogen lines in its emission spectrum, as well as weaker He$_I$ lines. The variability and lack of absorption lines defy a normal spectral classification, but it was suggested that it may be close to class A.
The 250.7 nm Fe$_{II}$ line is unusually strong in emission. The same feature in Eta Carinae's spectrum has been attributed to a UV laser.

## Properties

AF And was the brightest star in M31 when it was first noticed during an outburst, at an apparent magnitude around 15, over a million times more luminous than the Sun. Newer calculations give a luminosity slightly less than a million times that of the Sun.
The star's mass has not been calculated explicitly, but this type of star is massive, typically 50–120 M$_☉$.
# Concord Jazz Festival

37°57′33″N 121°56′18″W﻿ / ﻿37.95907°N 121.938219°W﻿ / 37.95907; -121.938219
The Concord Jazz Festival is an annual event that was established in 1969 in Concord, California.
The festival was launched by Carl Jefferson, a car dealer and jazz enthusiast, who managed to get a group of friends to support the concept. The city agreed to pay for half the cost. The first festival was held on 26 January 1969 in an 8-acre park called the Concord Boulevard Neighborhood Park (later renamed Dave Brubeck Park), adjacent to Concord High School. It attracted 17,000 attendees. Performers in subsequent years included Oscar Peterson, Pearl Bailey, Peter Nero, George Shearing, Ella Fitzgerald, Gerry Mulligan, and Dave Brubeck. In May 1975 the Concord Pavilion was opened as a home for the festival. It is an amphitheater in the Concord hills, featuring a roofed area with no walls that covers 3,500 seats, plus room for 4,500 more on the surrounding lawns. The pavilion is used for many other purposes.
Carl Jefferson founded Concord Records in 1973, with the Concord Jazz label. In 2004 the Concord Music Group was formed by the merger of Concord Records with Fantasy Records. The labels have released many classic albums.

## Live recordings

A few of the live recordings that have been made at the festival:
* Seven, Come Eleven by jazz guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass, 29 July 1973
* "The L.A. Four Scores!" The L.A. Four, 1975

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek stated "Without a doubt, this is Anthony Braxton at his most abstract. ... This work, though conceived by one of the most truly brilliant men of the 20th century, Composition No. 174 is proof that human beings are fallible. It may be art, but that doesn't make it enjoyable; it's duller than radio static".

# A Dictionary of Arts and Sciences

A Dictionary of Arts and Sciences was published in London in 1806–7. It was originally supposed to be edited by Dr. George Gregory, Prebendary of St. Paul's. However, Gregory was too involved in his clerical affairs, so most of the material was written by an anonymous hack writer, Jeremiah Joyce. As it would turn out, another encyclopedia meant to compete with the Dictionary, the British Encyclopedia, or Dictionary of Arts and Sciences which was supposedly edited by William Nicholson, was also written mostly by an anonymous hack writer, who turned out to be the same man.
The Dictionary itself was published in response to the Pantologia.
# Minuscule 203

Minuscule 203 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 203 (Soden), is a modern Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 12th century.

## Description

The codex contains the text of the New Testament (except Gospels) on 149 parchment leaves (size 21.5 cm by 29.5 cm), with some lacunae. The order of books: Pauline epistles, Acts of the Apostles, Catholic epistles, and Apocalypse. It contains non-biblical material at the end with a list of the errors condemned by the Seven Ecumenical Councils.
It is written in one column per page, in 32-33 lines per page.
It has Euthalian Apparatus.

## Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.

## History

The scribe of the codex was named Andreas.
It was examined by Birch and Scholz. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.
It is currently housed at the British Library (Add MS 28816), in London.
# Minolta XD-7

The Minolta XD-7 (sold as the XD-11 in North America and as the XD in Japan) is a 35mm SLR film camera manufactured by Minolta from 1977 until 1984.

## History

It was Minolta's first SLR camera to feature both shutter priority and aperture priority automatic exposure modes, as well as a program automatic mode, albeit not described as such on the camera or in the manual. The camera also offered fully metered manual exposure as well as depth of field preview and an eyepiece shutter. Also, included were fully mechanical "O" (1/100 sec) and bulb settings, which allowed it to operate without a battery. The XD-7 was the top-of-the-line Minolta camera when it was in production and retains a reputation for quality. It was Minolta's last metal-bodied SLR design before the company switched to plastic with the X-700.
There was also a less-expensive version of the XD-7 called the XD-5. Introduced in 1979, the XD-5 was mostly identical to the XD-7 but without some higher-end features like the eyepiece shutter or the display of the selected shutter speed in the viewfinder in manual exposure mode. A black variant with a viewfinder diopter instead of the eyepiece shutter called the XD-S was also offered in Japan.
Many professional photographers have used the XD-7. One of the best known is Harry Benson, who often acknowledged the XD-7 in the various photography books he published in the 1980s.

# Condensate polisher

A condensate polisher is a device used to filter water condensed from steam as part of the steam cycle, for example in a conventional or nuclear power plant (powdered resin or deep bed system). It is frequently filled with tiny polymer resin beads which are used to remove or exchange ions so that the purity of the condensate is maintained at or near that of distilled water.

## Description

Condensate polishers are important in systems using the boiling and condensing of water to transport or transform thermal energy. Using technology similar to a water softener, trace amounts of minerals or other contamination are removed from the system before such contamination becomes concentrated enough to cause problems by depositing minerals inside pipes, or within precision-engineered devices such as boilers, steam generators, heat exchangers, steam turbines, cooling towers, and condensers. The removal of minerals has the secondary effect of maintaining the pH balance of the water at or near neutral (a pH of 7.0) by removing ions that would tend to make the water more acidic. This reduces the rate of corrosion from water against metal.
Condensate polishing typically involves ion exchange technology for the removal of trace dissolved minerals and suspended matter. Commonly used as part of a power plant's condensate system, it prevents premature chemical failure and deposition within the power cycle which would have resulted in loss of unit efficiency and possible mechanical damage to key generating equipment.
During the process of steam generation in power plants, the steam cools and condensate forms. The condensate is collected and then recycled as boiler feedwater. Prior to re-use, the condensate must be purified or "polished", to remove impurities (predominantly silicon oxides and sodium hydroxide) which have the potential to cause damage to the boilers, steam generators, reactors and turbines. Both dissolved (i.e. silica) and suspended matter (ex. iron oxide particles from corrosion, also called 'crud'), as well as other contaminants which can cause corrosion and maintenance issues are effectively removed by condensate polishing treatment.
# A Fix Like This

A Fix Like This is a crime novel by the American writer K. C. Constantine set in 1970s Rocksburg, a fictional, blue-collar, Rust Belt town in Western Pennsylvania, modeled on the author's hometown of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, adjacent to Pittsburgh.
Mario Balzic is the protagonist, an atypical detective for the genre, a Serbo-Italian American cop, middle-aged, unpretentious, a family man who asks questions and uses more sense than force.
As the novel opens, Armand "Fat Manny" Manditti has been stabbed and is brought into the emergency room by his brother Tullio the Tub, who refuses to tell Chief Balzic what happened. Balzic suspects the men will take revenge, and he works to prevent the death of a citizen or two of Rocksburg.
It is the fourth book in the 17-volume Rocksburg series.

AP Restaurant is a restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that occupies the highest outdoor patio in the city, on the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre at 55 Bloor Street West.
The space was formerly occupied by Panorama Lounge. Owned by Eatertainment, The One Eighty opened in 2015. Being a restaurant located so high, The One Eighty dealt with many challenges, such as smaller delivery sizes, low storage space, and no gas stoves. The restaurant had a dedicated elevator to carry supplies. The One Eighty closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
AP Restaurant began occupying the space in 2022, ran by Antonio Park with Scale Hospitality Group. The restaurant's options include sushi and seafood.
# Constantin Prezan

Constantin Prezan (January 27, 1861 – August 27, 1943) was a Romanian general during World War I. In 1930 he was given the honorary title of Marshal of Romania, as a recognition of his merits during his command of the Northern Army and of the General Staff.
Besides his participation in World War I, he also took part in the Second Balkan War and the 1918–1920 military operations for safeguarding the Great Union. He avoided getting actively involved in politics, although he had a series of political titles, which were rather honorary in nature. For instance, he held the title of senator by right, based on his high rank in the army, and that of member of the Crown Council of Romania.

## Biography

He was born in the village of Sterianul de Mijloc, plasa Snagov, Ilfov County, currently in Butimanu commune, Dâmbovița County. He graduated from the officers' infantry and cavalry school in Bucharest and the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr. Made a second lieutenant in 1880, he rose to captain in 1887. A military engineering specialist, he took part in the Second Balkan War.
General Prezan commanded the 4th Army Corps in 1915-1916, and then became head of the Romanian Fourth Army during the Romanian Campaign later in 1916, against the forces of the Central Powers. Prezan led the Romanian Armed Forces in the Battle of Bucharest (November–December 1916), and as those forces retreated into the northeastern part of Romania (Moldavia). In July and August 1917, Prezan, who was by then Chief of the General Staff (and assisted by the then-Lieutenant-Colonel Ion Antonescu) successfully stopped the German invasion led by Field Marshal August von Mackensen. He continued serving in this position until 1920.
Documents found in military archives have brought to light Prezan's role in creating the Romanian National State. In October 1916, Prezan was rewarded with the Order of Michael the Brave, Third Class for deeds of merit, courage, and devotion. In July 1917, when he commanded the General Army Quarters, Prezan was honoured with the Order of Michael the Brave, Second Class.
During the Hungarian–Romanian War (November 1918–March 1920), Prezan led the Romanian Armed Forces in the battles of Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Transylvania. For his outstanding service, King Ferdinand I awarded him in February 1920 the Order of Michael the Brave, First Class. Prezan was promoted to Marshal of Romania in 1930.
In 1917 Prezan was awarded the Legion of Honour, Grand Officer. He was also awarded the Order of the Cross of Takovo and a number of other decorations.
In 1920 he was moved to the military reserve force, and spent most of his time at his villa in Schinetea, Vaslui County. He died în 1943 in Bucharest, and was buried at his residence in Schinetea. A major boulevard in Bucharest (running from Arcul de Triumf to Charles de Gaulle Square) is named after him.
# Conrad I, Duke of Merania

Conrad I (died 18 February 1159) was the Duke of Merania from 1152 until his death. Thitherto he had been the advocate of St Andreas at Freising since 1150 and Count of Dachau (as Conrad II) from 1152.

## Origin

Conrad was the elder of two sons of Conrad I of Dachau [de], a member of the House of Wittelsbach. His younger brother was Arnold III of Dachau. Their father Conrad I of Dachau was a son of Arnold I of Scheyern, who was the youngest son of Otto I, Count of Scheyern.

## Life

Conrad inherited Dachau from his father and lands in Dalmatia which had formerly been the March of Carniola from his mother, Willibirg, who had inherited them from Adelaide, daughter of Poppo II of Carniola. Conrad married Adelaide, daughter of Henry, Duke of Lower Lorraine, sometime before 1140. They had no children and Conrad remarried after her death (before 1146). His second wife, Matilda of Falkenstein, gave him one son, Conrad II, who inherited Merania and, in 1172, Dachau.
Conrad was in Bamberg in February 1152, when King Conrad III died there. In late June or early July 1152, the Frederick I granted Conrad the title of duke for his lands around the Kvarner Gulf, possibly as a reward for helping Frederick secure the throne after the king's death. He used the title dux Meranus to refer to his coastal territory, but Bishop Otto I of Freising, in his history of Frederick's reign, calls him "Duke of Dalmatia and Croatia". He was also sometimes called "Duke of Dachau", but he was still officially a count there.
In 1156, Conrad gave Dachau to his younger brother Arnold. Conrad died in battle at Bergamo and was buried in Scheyern.
