The Compton Potters' Arts Guild was an art pottery, founded by and based at the Surrey home of Scottish artist, Mary Fraser Tytler.

Background
A follower of the Home Arts and Industries Association, set up by Earl Brownlow in 1885 to encourage handicrafts among the lower classes, Fraser-Tytler, the wife of Victorian era painter and sculptor George Frederic Watts, had offered to design and build a new mortuary chapel when the council in Compton, Surrey were developing a new cemetery. Setting up a local evening class, led by Louis Deuchars, Mary got them designing and modelling designs guided by her and influenced by friends and crafts people: Edward Burne-Jones, Walter Crane, Alexander Fisher, William De Morgan and Phoebe Traquair.

The resultant Romanesque/Celtic revival exterior of the Watts Mortuary Chapel aroused such interest, that before work on the polychrome interior had started, Watts had set up permanent Arts and Crafts communities in both Compton and her home-town of Aldourie, Scotland. The outputs of the Compton group resulted in the formation in 1899 of the Compton Potters' Arts Guild.

Production
The innovative terracotta garden ornaments produced by the evening class group, recommended by Gertrude Jekyll, expanded into a production centre of mainly Gothic Revival, Arts and Crafts and latterly Art Nouveau style pottery, with many of its designs involved Celtic knots. The pottery's output was extensive, from large terracotta garden pottery to smaller household figures, jugs, plaques and pendants. In Green Lane cemetery, Farnham, there is a Compton Pottery memorial to May Margaret Barber, widow of Charles Burton Barber, the Victorian artist.

After World War I, many pairs of bookends were made including Archers, Sunburst, Galleon, Fruit and Flowers. The majority of the pottery was made from a soft white body and decorated with tempera, an egg-based paint susceptible to wear and which washes off.

Its designs and products were featured by many London shops, including Liberty & Co. One of its potters was featured in the first BBC filler intermission film, the well known 'Potter's Wheel'.

After the death of its founder, the Guild continued until 1954, by which time competition from more modern designs had severely reduced its sales.

John Sargent Rockwell (born September 16, 1940) is an American music critic, dance critic and arts administrator. According to Grove Music Online, "Rockwell brings two signal attributes to his critical work: a genuine admiration for all kinds of music and the arts, and the ability to fit a spirit of inquiry and enthusiasm for newer approaches to music into a reasoned overview of cultural history".

Early life and education
John Sargent Rockwell was born on September 16, 1940 to San Francisco attorney Alvin J. Rockwell (1908–1999) and Anna S. Hayward (1906–1983). He studied at Phillips Academy, Harvard University, the University of Munich, and the University of California, Berkeley, earning a Ph.D. in German cultural history.

Career
Rockwell began his journalistic career at the Oakland Tribune and the Los Angeles Times. In 1972 he began writing at The New York Times, first as a classical music critic and reporter, then also as the paper's chief pop music critic, and, from 1992 to 1994, as the European cultural correspondent. Between 1994 and 1998, he served as the first director of the Lincoln Center Festival. Rockwell returned to The New York Times to become the editor of the paper's Sunday Arts and Leisure section. In 2004, he was named the chief dance critic. He left the Times at the end of 2006 to pursue independent projects.

Rockwell got his start in radio journalism at WHRB at Harvard and at KPFA in Berkeley. On WNYC Radio, Rockwell examined cultural topics and events in the news for his weekly Monday-night segment, "Rockwell Matters", from October 2007 until May 2008.

In January 2008, Rockwell was a Distinguished Visitor at the American Academy in Berlin. He is a Chevalier of the French Order of Arts & Letters.

Personal life
Rockwell currently lives in Manhattan with his wife, Linda Mevorach. Their daughter, Sasha, resides in California.

In mathematics, especially in linear algebra and matrix theory, the duplication matrix and the elimination matrix are linear transformations used for transforming half-vectorizations of matrices into vectorizations or (respectively) vice versa.

Duplication matrix
The duplication matrix  is the unique  matrix which, for any  symmetric matrix , transforms  into :
.

For the  symmetric matrix , this transformation reads
 

The explicit formula for calculating the duplication matrix for a  matrix is: 

Where: 
 is a unit vector of order  having the value  in the position  and 0 elsewhere; 
 is a  matrix with 1 in position  and  and zero elsewhere

Here is a C++ function using Armadillo (C++ library):
arma::mat duplication_matrix(const int &n) {
    arma::mat out((n*(n+1))/2, n*n, arma::fill::zeros);
    for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
        for (int i = j; i < n; ++i) {
            arma::vec u((n*(n+1))/2, arma::fill::zeros);
            u(j*n+i-((j+1)*j)/2) = 1.0;
            arma::mat T(n,n, arma::fill::zeros);
            T(i,j) = 1.0;
            T(j,i) = 1.0;
            out += u * arma::trans(arma::vectorise(T));
        }
    }
    return out.t();
}

Elimination matrix
An elimination matrix  is a  matrix which, for any  matrix , transforms  into :
. 

By the explicit (constructive) definition given by , the  by  elimination matrix  is given by

where  is a unit vector whose -th element is one and zeros elsewhere, and . 

Here is a C++ function using Armadillo (C++ library):
arma::mat elimination_matrix(const int &n) {
    arma::mat out((n*(n+1))/2, n*n, arma::fill::zeros);
    for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
        arma::rowvec e_j(n, arma::fill::zeros);
        e_j(j) = 1.0;
        for (int i = j; i < n; ++i) {
            arma::vec u((n*(n+1))/2, arma::fill::zeros);
            u(j*n+i-((j+1)*j)/2) = 1.0;
            arma::rowvec e_i(n, arma::fill::zeros);
            e_i(i) = 1.0;
            out += arma::kron(u, arma::kron(e_j, e_i));
        }
    }
    return out;
}

For the  matrix , one choice for this transformation is given by

Protambulyx ockendeni is a species of moth of the  family Sphingidae. It is known from Peru and much of Central America and South America. It has also been recorded in Bolivia.

The wingspan is 105–110 mm. Adults are similar to Protambulyx euryalus but the forewing upperside is less variegated and the basal half is more distinctly purplish.

Adults are probably on wing year round.

The larvae feed on Anacardium, Spondias, Erythoxylon and Comocladia species.

Half Moon Caye Lighthouse is a lighthouse on the Half Moon Caye located in the Lighthouse Reef in Belize.

History
The station was originally established in 1820, the lighthouse was formed by a skeletal tower restored in 1848 and reinforced with a steel frame in 1931. It had a square truncated shape, with enclosed base and an upper observation room, balcony and lantern and a height of . In the  latest years the lighthouse moved progressively toward the water because the trend in the weather change. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1997 and from then begun to wreck. A new skeletal tower was built in 1998 inland respect to the former light, it is equipped with a beacon which emits four white flashes every 10 seconds. In September 2010 the Tropical Storm Matthew destroyed completely the old lighthouse.

Minit Records was an American independent record label, originally based in New Orleans and founded by Joe Banashak in 1959. Ernie K. Doe, Aaron Neville, Irma Thomas, and Benny Spellman were early artists on the label. Later artists included Bobby Womack and Ike & Tina Turner.

History

Allen Toussaint was responsible for much of the label's early success, he wrote, produced, arranged and played piano on a number of tracks. The label's first hit was Toussaint's production of "Ooh Poo Pah Doo - Part 2" by Jessie Hill in 1960. After making a distribution deal with Imperial Records, the label released its biggest hit, "Mother-in Law" by Ernie K-Doe reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B singles chart in 1961.

When Allen Toussaint was drafted into the Army in 1963, the hits dried up and the label was sold to Imperial. Banashak also owned Instant Records, which he kept. Minit was acquired by Liberty Records in 1963 as part of its acquisition of Imperial Records. In 1968, Liberty was bought by Transamerica Corporation and combined with United Artists Records. Two years later Imperial and Minit were shut down and transferred to Liberty. In 1971, Liberty and its remaining labels (except for Soul City, whose catalog was sold to Bell Records) were absorbed into United Artists. In 1979, EMI purchased United Artists. The Minit catalog is currently owned by UMG, successor-in-interest to previous owner EMI.

Label variations
1961-1963: (catalog #s MR-601-626) Orange with black print and disclaimer indicating "C/O Imperial Records, Hollywood, Calif. Later pressings of some records in this period are on the second label."

Calvin Thomas Craddock Dufty (10 March 1900 – 1 August 1955) was a New Zealand rugby league player who represented New Zealand.

War service
During World War I, Dufty served with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, embarking in 1916 when aged 16.

Playing career

Dufty played in the Auckland Rugby League competition for Newton Rangers (1919-21, & 1927-29), Athletic/Grafton Athletic (1922-26), and Ellerslie United (1929-30). 
He transferred to Ellerslie after moving to the area during 1929 after playing several games for Newton during the season.

In 1919, aged 19, Dufty made his debut for Auckland, starring in the regions 37-13 defence of the Northern Union Cup against Hawke's Bay. His performance earned him selection for the New Zealand squad that played against the first tour of Australia.

In 1922, he toured Australia with the New Zealand Māori side. He played in five inter-island games for the North Island, his last being in 1930.

In 1922 and in 1924, he played for both Auckland and Auckland Province. In 1922, his appearances were against the touring New South Wales team, while in 1924 his appearances were against the touring Great Britain Lions. He was part of the disastrous 1926-27 New Zealand tour of Great Britain, which resulted in several forwards going on strike and receiving life bans. In 1928, he again played the touring Lions, representing both Auckland City and Auckland Province, as well as New Zealand.

Dufty finished his career with a then-record 224 points for New Zealand, including 106 goals. He played in twelve test matches, scoring 41 points.

Personal life

Dufty was born to Samuel and Emily (nee Bennett). Dufty's siblings were: Louisa Esther (1901-26), Annie Elizabeth (1902-62), Jessie May (1909-37), and Gwendoline Pearl (1919-90), a brother Cecil Charles who died in infancy (1905), and brothers Thomas Joseph (1899-1949), Samuel Craddock (1911-79), and Arthur James (1911-89).

On 1 August 1955, Craddock Dufty died while at Auckland Public Hospital. His wife was Ethel May (nee Gerraty) whom he had married in 1921. She had died on 9 June 1953. Craddock Dufty was buried at Waikumete Cemetery. He was survived by three children: June, Moira Coral (1928-86), and Craddock.

Kingdown and Middledown () is a 5.7 hectare (14.1 acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest near Cheddar in the Mendip Hills, Somerset, notified in 1991.

This site, which is in two parts, is situated on the plateau of the Mendip Hills and supports populations of two nationally rare plant species. Kingdown is at the end of a dry valley where Carboniferous Limestone outcrops as a small cliff, opposite which is a small disused limestone quarry. Covering some of the rock outcrops are clumps of Cheddar Pink (Dianthus gratianopolitanus), which is a nationally rare species. The nationally scarce species Soft-leaved Sedge (Carex montana) and Cheddar Bedstraw (Galium fleurotii) are also found here.

23am is the second studio album by composer Robert Miles, released in late 1997 via Deconstruction and Arista labels.

Background and recording
The composition of 23am began from the Dreamland tour, during which Miles collected audio samples from virtually every city visited. Aside from being based on his experiences of these travels (in the liner notes Miles emphasizes the influence seeing in person so many problems that society has brought onto itself had), Miles has also said that the album reflects the human life cycle from birth to death.

23am also contains four vocal songs, a ratio of vocals to instrumentals that is almost equal to that of Dreamland. They seem to have been less an afterthought for this album, though, and were written in Italian and then translated into English. Two tracks on the album, including its first single "Freedom", feature vocals by disco icon Kathy Sledge of the chart-topping group Sister Sledge.

The structures and instrumental arrangements on 23am are more complex than those on the earlier Dreamland, involving real instruments such as the saxophone and trumpet as an addition to the synthesizers.  The music is also much less beat-driven; the main sections of a number of the vocal-based songs are structured like pop songs, while the segueing interludes between songs are generally structureless, with no beats at all. Ultimately it can be said that 23am is more artistic and less dance-oriented than its predecessor, Dreamland. At the same time, however, 23am was less successful than Dreamland.
