The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "On what is generally an extroverted session, the bassist's two "Ballade Poetiques" serve as a change of pace, fairly free flights for the trio that are quite introspective. ... A fine post bop session".

# İspik

İspik is a village and municipality in the Quba Rayon of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 1,242.
# A Slight Demonstration

A Slight Demonstration is a 2007 book about the 1864 Civil War Battle of Decatur, a pivotal event in Confederate General John B. Hood's disastrous Tennessee Campaign late in the war, in which a Union force of only 2-5,000 soldiers prevented Hood's 23,000 strong army from crossing the Tennessee River. It was written by Noel Carpenter, a former Decatur native and Air Force officer. The book is published by Legacy Books & Letters of Austin, Texas. It is the first book solely devoted to the Battle of Decatur.

## Synopsis

In the book, Carpenter contends that the engagement at Decatur played a major role in the outcome of Hood's campaign. Hood had intended to cross the Tennessee River to go to Nashville, where he planned to cut off the supply lines of Union General William T. Sherman, who had just taken Atlanta. The delay caused by his inability to cross the river gave Union forces in Nashville time to prepare a defense, such that when Hood's forces finally arrived, they were decimated.
Carpenter provides the richest detail available to date about the engagement at Decatur, including the important contribution of the Fourteenth Colored Infantry, an African-American regiment whose brave action stalled Hood's forces long enough to effectively carry the day. Union General Thomas Granger considered it the highlight of the battle.
Carpenter's book was published posthumously by his daughter, Carol Powell. Carpenter died in 2000 at the age of 82, having devoted the last 12 years of his life to his book about the battle that took place in the town of his birth.

### Critical reception

University of Arkansas professor Daniel E. Sutherland, Co-Editor of The Civil War in the West, a series from the University of Arkansas Press, has said, "I found Carpenter's account and analysis of events at Decatur thoroughly readable and quite convincing," and "I came away from his narrative believing that historians may, indeed, not have given events at Decatur their due."

## Biography

The band was originally formed in South Florida in 1970, but moved to Chicago in April 1971, where they were introduced to producer Jimmy Miller. With Miller, they recorded their first album, La Familia, which was released on ABC Dunhill in 1972. The single "Because of You (The Sun Don't Set)" reached number 104 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart; it would be their only charted single. Their second album, Kracker Brand, was produced and released the next year on ABC Dunhill.
In early 1973, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards developed an interest in Kracker, resulting in a deal whereby the band's second album was licensed for distribution outside the United States by Rolling Stones Records, making Kracker the first band on that label. The association with the Rolling Stones continued when later that year Kracker moved to London and toured Europe as the opening act for the Rolling Stones. During their career, Kracker also toured with other notable acts, including Chuck Berry, Sly and the Family Stone, J Geils Band, Doctor John, Lou Reed, Styx, Cheap Trick, and REO Speedwagon.
In 1976, Kracker was signed by Henry Stone to Dash Records, in Miami, Florida, and the group recorded their third and final album, Hot, which was a compilation of dance-oriented rock.

# 56th North Carolina Infantry Regiment

The 56th North Carolina Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment that served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War.

## Overview

The North Carolina 56th Infantry Regiment was instituted in July, 1862, at Camp Magnum, North Carolina. The infantry recruitment included counties like, Camden, Cumberland, Pasquotank, Northampton, Orange, Cleveland, Alexander, Rutherford, and Mecklenburg. The regiment was assigned to carry out reconnaissance between Goldsboro, Wilmington, and Tarboro. Later, the unit was stationed at Blackwater. The unit in collaboration with M.W. Ransom's Brigade was involved in battle at several places like Gum Swamp Creek, Plymouth, Drewry's Bluff, Petersburg and Appomattox.
The regiment lost 149 recruits who were taken as prisoners at the battle of Gum Swamp, suffered 4 fatalities and 84 wounded at Plymouth. Loss of lives at Ware Bottom Church numbered 90. The skirmish at Sailor's Creek resulted in many crippled men. Nine officers and 62 infantry reportedly surrendered with the Army of Northern Virginia. The field commander for the unit was Colonel Paul F. Faison. Lieutenant Colonel G. Gratiott Luke and Majors John W. Graham were supporting officers.

# Acropora anthocercis

Acropora anthocercis is a species of acroporid coral that was first described by G. Brook in 1893. Found on the top slopes of reefs, it is often in contact with strong waves. The species is rated as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, with a decreasing population covering a large range, but is abundant in some areas such as Queensland. It is also listed under CITES Appendix II.

## Description

Acropora anthocercis specimens are found in colonies of corymbose formation on rocks. It occurs in a variety of colours; mainly purple, blue, mauve, and grey. The branches are wide and short, and are encrusted in some locations. The radial corallites (on the sides of each branch) are located close to each other, and there are many axian corallites (on the end) on each branch.
It is similar to Acropora appressa, Acropora desalwii, and Acropora parapharaonis, and is found on the upper slopes of shallow reefs, so is exposed to strong waves. It can be found at depths of 5 to 10 m (16 to 33 ft).

## Distribution

Acropora anthocercis can be found over a large range; the Red Sea, the Indo-Pacific, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, Australia, Japan, the East China Sea, the western Pacific Ocean in marine environments, South Africa, and Mozambique. It is abundant in Queensland, with a 90% of Australian specimens believed to be in that region. It can be found at depths of 2 to 12 m (6.6 to 39.4 ft), and at temperatures between 25.61 and 26.56 °C (78.10 and 79.81 °F).
It is classed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List as the population is decreasing, and is listed under Appendix II of CITES. Its population is unknown, but is likely to be threatened by the global reduction of coral reefs, the increase of temperature causing bleaching, disease, and being prey to the Acanthaster planci.

## Taxonomy

The species was first described by G. Brook in 1893 as Madrepora anthocercis, but was previously described as a synonym of Madrepora coronata by G. Brook in 1892.
