# Volca Beats

The Volca Beats is a hybrid drum machine produced by the Japanese music technology manufacturer Korg. It was released in April 2013 along with the Volca Keys and Volca Bass. The Volca Beats uses both analogue synthesis and PCM samples to produce drum sounds. It is part of Korg's Volca line of affordable synthesizers and drum machines, it has a 16-step sequencer and can run off batteries.

## Release

The Volca Beats was released in April 2013 at Musikmesse Frankfurt alongside the Volca Keys and Volca Bass. It received mixed reviews. MusicRadar stated that "the balance between functionality, ease of use and playability is great". However, some criticism was made of its snare circuit.

## Design

The Volca Beats has a black faceplate, with gold accents and keys; the enclosure is made of black plastic. Its design is partially inspired by the Roland TR-808 and TR-606. It features a 16-step sequencer with motion sequencing for sequencing parameter changes. The sequencer also has "active step" and "step jump" functions for irregular time signatures and build-ups. Connection points include 9V DC power, MIDI in, sync in/out and a single stereo output. The Volca Beats can also be powered by batteries and has a built-in speaker.

### Sound engine

The Volca Beats' sound engine consists of two sections, the analogue drum section and the PCM sample section, along with a stutter effect. Stutter is a retrigger effect, with controls over time and depth. It behaves almost like a delay, retriggering either all voices or a single part. Each section is split up into tracks, of which there are ten in total. Each track has a different sound, e.g. hi-hats, kick.
The analogue section is made up of six tracks that Korg say are "common analogue vintage circuits":
* Kick – a circuit similar to the TR-808's kick drum, it has control over click (addition of a transient), pitch and decay.
* Snare – has control over include pitch, decay and "snappy", which controls the amount of white noise in the snare. Lower levels can stand in for a rimshot.
* Toms – both high and low toms. They have individual tuning but share a decay envelope.
* Hats – both closed and open hats on the Volca Beats. Each has an individual decay but shares a "grain" control, which controls pitch.
PCM sample tracks have control over individual volume and playback speed. There are four different tracks: clave, agogo, clap and cymbal.

# Acer pseudosieboldianum

Acer pseudosieboldianum, the Korean maple or purplebloom maple, is a species of maple. It is native to northeastern China, Korea, and the Russian Far East.

## Description

Acer pseudosieboldianum is a small tree or shrub. It is deciduous. It grows about 12 to 18 inches per year. The mature tree is 15 to 25 feet tall.
The leaves are 4 to 6 inches wide and have usually 9 to 11 lobes. The green leaves turn shades of red, yellow, and orange in fall. This species exhibits Marcescence (tends to hold on to a portion of its dried leaves through the winter). The flowers are white with purple bracts. New growth is coated in white, sticky hairs. This characteristic distinguishes the plant from the similar Acer sieboldianum, which lacks hairs.
The bark of the plant is thin and easily damaged by mechanical injury or in harsh weather. Tears in the bark make it vulnerable to insect and fungal infestation. The species is susceptible to canker and Verticillium wilt when stressed.

## Uses

* Korean Maple flowers emerging with leaves
* Korean Maple fall color
* Korean Maple fall color closeup
The Korean maple is cultivated as an ornamental plant. It withstands a cold climate better than the comparable Japanese maple. It has been grown in North Dakota, where it has done well in temperatures as low -43 °F. The species has been hybridized with Japanese Maple at the University of Wisconsin to produce a cold hardy tree with intermediate characteristics between the two parents. This hybrid has been named Acer pseudosieboldianum × palmatum 'Hasselkus' and marketed under the trade name Northern Glow®.
# Heavenly Foot Society

Heavenly Foot Society, was a Chinese organization against foot binding, founded in 1874. It was the first organization against foot binding in China.
It was founded by John Macgowan and his wife, missionaries from the London Missionary Society. It was followed by other Western Christian missionary societies, who incorporated the work against foot binding in to their missionary work. The Christian missionaries condemned foot binding as a Barbaric custom oppressive of women. They banned foot binding among Christian Chinese, and banned women with bound feet to study or work in their missionary schools.
The Heavenly Foot Society and the other missionary societes against foot binding had limited effect because it associated the abolition of foot binding with religious missionary work. The first Chinese society against foot binding, the Foot Emancipation Society of 1887, and the first secular Western society, the Tian Zu Hui of 1895, had substantionally more success.

# Acts of Barnabas

The Acts of Barnabas is a non-canonical pseudepigraphical Christian work that claims to identify its author as John Mark, the companion of Paul the Apostle, as if writing an account of Barnabas, the Cypriot Jew who was a member of the earliest church of Jerusalem; through the services of Barnabas, the convert Saul was welcomed into the apostolic community. Three pseudepigraphical works are linked with the name of Barnabas: the Epistle of Barnabas, written between AD 70 and 135, this Acts and the medieval text Gospel of Barnabas. None of them have been accepted into the biblical canon.

## Text

The language and the ecclesiastical politics of Acts of Barnabas reveal it to be a work of the 5th century, designed to strengthen the claims of the Church of Cyprus to apostolic foundation as the site of Barnabas' grave, and therefore of its bishops' independence from the patriarch of Antioch.
These are 5th century concerns, the independence of the Church of Cyprus having been declared by the First Council of Ephesus in 431 and confirmed by Emperor Zeno in 488.

## Content

The text speaks of the multiple travels of Barnabas and Paul of Tarsus through the first Christian communities in Asia Minor and in Cyprus, full of miracles and preaching to the pagans, and adds the church foundations, the consecration of bishops and the tomb of the apostle in Cyprus.
From chapter 5:
   After he instructed me on these things, we stayed in Iconium for many days. […] Then we arrived in Seleucia, and after the three-day stay we sailed to Cyprus. [...] Departing from Cyprus, we landed in Perge of Pamphylia. Then I stayed there for about two months, wanting to sail to the western regions, but Holy Spirit wouldn't let me. So I went back to see the apostles and, knowing that they were in Antioch, I went to them.
John and Barnabas visit Isaura, Cilicia, Cyprus and Laodiceia, where they cure many sick people and baptize. (Acts of Barnabas 11 and 12).
It is said that seven years before his martyrdom he traveled to Marmarica and Libya.
And the book ends:The travels and martyrdom of the saint Apostle Barnabas were thus accomplished by the grace of God.

# Volcano junco

The volcano junco (Junco vulcani) is a New World sparrow endemic to the Talamancan montane forests of Costa Rica and western Panama.
This junco breeds above the timberline, typically at altitudes above 3,000 m, but there is an isolated population at 2,100 m on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica and forest clearance on Cerro de la Muerte has allowed this species to descend to 2,600 m. The habitat is open grassy or brushy areas with some stunted scrubs. The nest is a neat, lined cup constructed on the ground under a log, bush or rock, or in a cavity on a vegetated bank. The female lays two brown-spotted pale blue eggs.
The volcano junco is on average 16 cm long and weighs 28 g. The adult has brown upperparts with dark streaking especially on the back. The wings and tail feathers are dark fringed. The underparts are grey. The sides of the head are grey with a black mask through the eye, a yellow iris, and a pink bill and legs. Young birds are brighter brown above with blacker streaking, and have buff-grey underparts.
Volcano junco calls include a thin tseee or a clearer wheew. The song is a mixture of squeaks and buzzes; k’chew chu k’wee chip chip chueee.
The volcano junco feeds on the ground on seeds, fallen berries, insects and spiders. It runs and hops, but flies only for short distances.

# Sans Souci, Michigan

Sans Souci is an unincorporated community in St. Clair County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community is located within Clay Township.
The community is located along the St. Clair River on the eastern coast of Harsens Island. The community itself is also referred to as Harsens Island, which is the name of the post office that serves the island and several smaller outlying islands near the river mouth on Lake St. Clair.

## History

Harsens Island was first settled as early as 1779 by James Harsen, who was the area's first white settler. By 1783, Harsen had purchased the entire island from its native Indian population. As late as 1809, the island was also known as James (also Jacob or Jacobus) Island.
Sans Souci began as a shipping and trading center on Harsens Island. It was given a post office named Sans Souci on April 24, 1900. The name came from its first postmaster, William LaCroix, who suggested the name as a French translation meaning "without care" to refer to the peaceful nature of the island. The post office name was changed to Harsens Island on December 31, 1960.

# 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase

In enzymology, a 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate + H$_2$O $\rightleftharpoons$ 2 6-aminohexanoate. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate and H$_2$O, whereas its product is two molecules of 6-aminohexanoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate amidohydrolase. This enzyme is also called 6-aminohexanoic acid oligomer hydrolase.

## Structural studies

As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1WYB, 1WYC, and 2DCF.
# The Army of a Dream

"The Army of a Dream" is a speculative fiction short story written by Rudyard Kipling, published in the Morning Post in June 1904. In it Kipling puts forward various methods for reforming the British Army of the period.

## Plot

The story begins with an army officer taking the unnamed narrator to visit his military unit, the Tynesiders. It is revealed that in this parallel Britain envisaged by Kipling, military service for males is voluntary, but almost universal, because only those who have served may vote, along with a number of other incentives. The result is a form of citizen militia composed of competent men focused on dealing with any threat to their community and nation. In addition to ensuring home defence this "Army of a Dream" contains special units intended for overseas colonial service and for possible intervention in Europe. The complex and idealised military system of Kipling's imagination includes features such as rudimentary training for boys beginning at the age of eight, close integration between army and navy and an Empire-wide sense of assimilation between civilians and soldiers.
On the last page of the novel the narrator suddenly realises that the officers accompanying him on his inspection tour are actually dead friends or acquaintances who died in the mismanaged South African War.

## Criticism

"The Army of a Dream" was criticised as being political propaganda masquerading as a short story. Kipling himself acknowledged that it was not a serious attempt at army reform but simply an effort to put forward a number of ideas for consideration.

## Influence

Rudyard Kipling was a major influence on one of the 20th century's most influential writers, Robert A. Heinlein. In his seminal 1959 work Starship Troopers, Heinlein models a similar society, where only veterans of government service are citizens. While this does not have to be in combat forces but may be more like being a civil servant, the novel follows characters in the mobile infantry. This is also the origin of the mech trope that has pervaded science fiction since. Also foreshadowed is Heinlein's fondness for the competent hero, a character who — though usually bearing normal human flaws — is rugged and self-responsible, able to do most things at least on a basic level and functioning with a high level of confidence and self-actualization.

# Sans Souci Ferry

The Sans Souci Ferry is a cable ferry that provides access across the Cashie River in Bertie County, North Carolina. Since the 1930s, the ferry has been operated by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
The ferry is located on SR 1500 south of Windsor, North Carolina. It is one of three cable ferries that are still operating in North Carolina. The others are the Parker's Ferry and Elwell Ferry.

## History

The Sans Souci Ferry has operated in some form or fashion since at least the 1800s. It was not until the 1930s that the state Department of Transportation took over operations of the ferry and has operated it ever since. The ferry is not considered part of the state ferry system, which operates larger ferries along the immediate NC coast. The NC cable ferries are considered inland ferries. They are operated by regional DOT divisional offices instead of the NC DOT Ferry Division.

## Operations

The ferry is driven, or one could say guided, by a steel cable that stretches across the river. The cable is secured on each side of the river by steel posts. As the ferry crosses the river, the force of the boat, with the help of rollers on the side of the boat, pulls the normally submerged cable out of the water. The cable is permanently secured to the ferry and prevents the boat from straying off course in normal river currents. The ferry carries a maximum of two cars and does not operate in high water conditions or storms, as there is too much risk of the cable snapping in such treacherous conditions. Persons wanting to ride the ferry that happen to be on the opposite side of the river than the ferry must blow their vehicle horn to summon the ferry. The trip by ferry across the river takes roughly 5 minutes and saves a drive of about 20 miles. The ferry is free of charge. The ferry operates almost every day except for days of high water and bad weather.

## Vessel

The ferry has a steel, barge-like platform that cars drive onto. The "engine room" is located on one side of the ferry. Here the operator sits and controls the boat's engine, which is located outside and beside the room. The ferry is powered by a John Deere diesel engine. The operator must know when to let off the throttle, since the ferry has no brakes or on-board steering device.

## Replacement

Many have worried over the years that the ferry might be replaced by a bridge. NCDOT officials have said that the ferry will likely never be replaced with a bridge because of the high cost. The ferry serves a secondary road that carries mainly local traffic; the volume is not sufficient to justify construction costs of a bridge.
The ferry was briefly closed from June 12, 2020 to August 19, 2020, due to a budget shortage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
# Finnegan, Alberta

Finnegan is an unincorporated community in southern Alberta in Special Area No. 2, located 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) west of Highway 36, 64 kilometres (40 mi) northwest of Brooks.

## Finnegan Ferry

The Finnegan Ferry is a historic cable ferry in Alberta, Canada that is still in operation. It is located at the unincorporated community of Finnegan. The ferry is the North/South connection of Alberta Highway 862 where it crosses the Red Deer River.
It is named for John Finnegan (1842–1924) who homesteaded on the river, then opened and operated the ferry. The community is named after the ferry. According to a tourism guidebook, Finnegan "was a very active wirey man all his life and at the age of 75 could still do handsprings!"
The toll-free ferry is operated by Alberta Transportation. It has a capacity of thirteen cars, or fifty passengers. The ferry operates between 7:00 am and midnight from April 20 until November 15.
Finnegan Ferry has a weight limit of 62.5 tonnes (61.5 long tons; 68.9 short tons) and dimensions of the ferry are 22.5 metres (74 ft) long and 10.36 metres (34.0 ft) wide.

### In popular culture

In 1991, musician Tom Cochrane shot part of the music video to his song "Life Is a Highway" on the ferry.
