The Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) is a United States Government agency, which improves numerical weather, marine and climate predictions at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), through a broad program of research in data assimilation and modeling.  In support of the NCEP operational forecasting mission, the EMC develops, improves and monitors data assimilation systems and models of the atmosphere, ocean and coupled system, using advanced methods developed internally as well as cooperatively with scientists from universities, NOAA laboratories and other government agencies, and the international scientific community.

History 
In July 1954, the Joint Numerical Weather Prediction Unit (JNWPU) was created to test out numerical weather prediction techniques by computer.  Operational numerical weather prediction in the United States began in 1955 under the JNWPU.   This unit co-located with the Weather Bureau-Air Force-Navy (WBAN) analysis center to form the National Weather Analysis Center, which was located in Suitland, Maryland.  When the two units merged, the name changed to the National Meteorological Center (NMC) in January 1958.  When the JNWPU dissolved in 1961, NMC became an independent organization from Global Weather Central and Fleet Numerical Weather Central.  Research and computer processing abilities increased over the years, which allowed for the first global forecast model to run by June 1966.  NMC moved to the World Weather Building in Camp Springs, Maryland between 1974 and 1976.  NMC changed its name to NCEP, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction on October 1, 1995, with the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) becoming one of its subunits.  EMC moved to the National Center for Weather and Climate Prediction building in September 2012.

Operations 
The Environmental Modeling Center is responsible for the development, running, and maintenance of more than 20 numerical weather prediction systems comprising NCEP's operational production suite.  These models include the Rapid Refresh (RAP), Global Forecast System (GFS), Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS), WaveWatch III, Short Range Ensemble Forecast (SREF), Climate Forecast System (CFS), Global Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS), North American Mesoscale Model (NAM), Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting model (HWRF), and Hurricanes in a Multi-scale Ocean-coupled Non-hydrostatic Model (HMON).

Little Abraham or Tyorhansera was a Mohawk Chief who was best known for his neutral stance regarding the Revolutionary War. This was because he believed that neither side was trustworthy.

Little Abraham’s date of birth is unknown, but he died in 1780 in prison after being arrested by Guy Johnson in 1870. The Revolutionary War took place between 1775 and 1783.

Little Abraham lived in a town called Tiononderoge, in the Mohawk Nation, which is a part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Little Abraham was a Pine Tree Chief and a member of the Wolf Clan. Pine Tree Chiefs are people who prove themself to be worthy of being in the grand council of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and cannot pass their position hereditarily.

East Wittering Windmill is a grade II listed tower mill at East Wittering, Sussex, England which is derelict.

History
East Wittering Windmill was first mentioned in 1810. The mill was working by wind until 1895, and the sails were removed in 1896. The cap was blown off in 1931. The derelict tower retained some machinery in 1974, but was burnt out in May 1975, with the windshaft falling within the tower.

Description

East Wittering Windmill is a four-storey cement rendered brick tower mill. It had two Spring sails and two Common sails. The beehive cap was winded by a fantail. The sails were set with the aid of a travelling stage. The mill drove two pairs of underdrift millstones. The derelict tower stands today.

Ye () is a second-person, plural, personal pronoun (nominative), spelled in Old English as "ge". In Middle English and Early Modern English, it was used as a both informal second-person plural and formal honorific, to address a group of equals or superiors or a single superior. While its use is archaic in most of the English-speaking world, it is used in Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada, and some parts of Ireland to distinguish from the singular "you".

Confusion with definite article 
"Ye" is also sometimes used to represent an Early Modern English form of the definite article "the" (pronounced ), such as in "Ye Olde Shoppe". "The" was often written "" (here the "e" is written above the other letter to save space, but it could also be written on the line). The lower letter is thorn, commonly written þ but which in handwritten scripts could resemble a "y" as shown. Thus, the article The was written Þe and never Ye. Medieval printing presses did not contain the letter thorn. Thus, the letter y was substituted owing to its similarity to some medieval scripts, especially later ones. The "thorn" character was supplanted during the later phases of Middle English and the earlier phases of Early Modern English by the modern digraph "th". This substituted orthography leads most speakers of Modern English to pronounce definite article "ye" as  ("yee"), when the correct pronunciation is  ("the") or .

Etymology
In Old English, the use of second-person pronouns was governed by a simple rule:  addressed one person,  addressed two people, and  addressed more than two. After the Norman Conquest, which marks the beginning of the French vocabulary influence that characterised the Middle English period, the singular was gradually replaced by the plural as the form of address for a superior and later for an equal. The practice of matching singular and plural forms with informal and formal connotations, respectively, is called the T–V distinction, and in English it is largely due to the influence of French. This began with the practice of addressing kings and other aristocrats in the plural. Eventually, this was generalised, as in French, to address any social superior or stranger with a plural pronoun, which was believed to be more polite. In French,  was eventually considered either intimate or condescending (and, to a stranger, potentially insulting), while the plural form  was reserved and formal. In Early Modern English, ye functioned as both an informal plural and formal singular second-person nominative pronoun. "Ye" is still commonly used as an informal plural in Hiberno‐English and Newfoundland English. Both dialects also use variants of "ye" for alternative cases, such as "yeer" (your), "yeers" (yours), and "yeerselves" (yourselves).

The Almshouse is a historic almshouse in Stoneham, Massachusetts.  Built in 1852, it is one of the few surviving buildings of this type in the Greater Boston area.  It is now part of the Stoneham Senior Center, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Description and history
The former Stoneham Almshouse is located in eastern Stoneham, near the town line with Wakefield on the north side of Elm Street.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and granite foundation.  It basically a functional vernacular structure, with minimal Greek Revival styling found in the main entrance surround.  The interior follows a relatively retardaire (out-of-date for the period) central hall plan.  The original building has been encrusted with additions to the sides and rear.

The almshouse was built in 1852 to provide facilities for the town's indigent adult population.  It was the town's second such facility, and is now one of the few in the region to survive.  Its original  lot has been reduced to just two by subdivision and development, but it retains its original long entry drive.  It served for a time in the 20th century as a nursing home, and now houses the town's senior center.

George Richards Laffer (14 September 1866 – 7 December 1933) was an Australian politician. He was member of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1913 until 1933, representing the electorate of Alexandra for the Liberal Union, and its successors the Liberal Federation and Liberal and Country League. He was a minister in the Barwell government, and was Speaker of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1927 until 1930.

Laffer was born at Coromandel Valley into a fruit-growing family, his father having emigrated from Cornwall in 1840. He continued in the family business, and was actively involved in agricultural organisations, serving as a founder of the South Australian Fruitgrowers' Association, life member of the Agricultural Bureau, and as chairman of the Advisory Board of Agriculture. He served nine years on the Mitcham District Council, including four years as chairman.

Laffer was elected to the House of Assembly for Alexandra on his third attempt in 1913. He was chairman of committees from 1918 to 1920, and was promoted to the ministry when Henry Barwell became Premier, serving as Commissioner of Crown Lands and Immigration and Minister for Repatriation until the government's defeat in 1924. Laffer was appointed Speaker after the Liberal Federation, in coalition with the Country Party, won the election of 1927 under Richard Layton Butler, serving until their defeat in 1930. He was a member of a Royal Commission into illegal betting and the licensing of bookmakers from 1932 until 1933. He died suddenly in office in 1933, and received a state funeral before being buried at Mitcham Anglican Cemetery.
