Koch Drug Store is a historic building located in the central part of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It is a Victorian style commercial building that was built in 1881. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

History
Francis J. Koch operated a pharmacy in this building beginning in 1881 and continued here for over a decade. Koch lived in the residential space upstairs. A pharmacy continued in occupation of the building until the 1920s, after which a variety of businesses were located there. After being vacant for at least five years, a bakery opened in 2014.

Architecture
The two-story commercial and residential building occupies a corner lot on a main thoroughfare that leads to Davenport's Central Business District. It takes advantage of its location with two public façades and a chamfered corner, which is a common feature for corner commercial buildings in Davenport and across Iowa.  The building also features a low hipped roof and dormers. The decorative elements are found in the pilasters and brick corbelling between floors at the corner and the west façade and at the cornice level. The storefront has been altered several times and has now been filled in.

Namiki is a Japanese brand of writing implements, most specifically, fountain pens, owned by the Pilot Corporation. Namiki is mostly famous for its handmade maki-e (a Japanese lacquerware craft with a wide range of fine and decorative arts) designs on urushi-based lacquers.

"Namiki" is the surname of Ryosuke Namiki, the founder of the Pilot Corporation, named "Namiki Manufacturing Company" until 1938 when it became "Pilot Pen Co., Ltd.". The brand name Namiki came to fame in the early 20th century when Dunhill retailed in the west the Maki-e pens produced by Pilot under the brand "Dunhill-Namiki". This partnership has continued to the present day (occasionally Namiki makes a Limited Edition for Dunhill) although Namiki has always been owned by Pilot.

History 
Most of the fountain pens had been made of ebonite, a material that combines sulfur and rubber. However, ebonite changed color and lost its shine as the years went by. Being aware of this, the Namiki Co. Ltd. (current "Pilot Corporation") started to try different methods and materials to overcome the problem. After some attempts, they discovered that lacquer coating could tolerate deterioration and make pens more durable. They also tried painting designs on fountain bodies, using the maki-e technique, The process would be later patented by Pilot.

In 1925 the Namiki brand was launched to market, with lacquer artists Shisui Rokkaku and Gonroku Matsuda invited to make fountain pens. Ryosuke Namiki and Masao Wada (founders of Pilot Co. in 1918) traveled to promote their maki-e pens in Western countries. In 1926, a Pilot Office was opened in London, England, and four years later a contract was signed with the Alfred Dunhill Ltd. to commercialize Namiki pens in the main European cities and the United States under the brand "Dunhill-Namiki Made in Japan". The brand would later expand to New York, Shanghai and Singapore.

Models 
Namiki fountain pens and non-disposable Pilot fountain pens share the Pilot/Namiki proprietary ink refill cartridge, with inks available in several colors. Converters of both the piston type and squeeze type are also available to allow Namiki and Pilot fountain pens to be filled from ink bottles.

The curve-sided Namiki ink bottle has an inner inkwell to keep the nib steady during filling and also to allow almost the last few drops of ink to be taken from the bottle into a pen.

As of November 2019, collections commercialized by Namiki include the "Emperor", the most renowned collection of the Namiki brand. All models have a base layer of Urushi with Maki-e art drawn on to the base layer. There are seven models in this collection, Gold Fish (金魚), Dragon (龍), Owl (梟), Kylin (麒麟), Carp on Waterfall (鯉の滝登り), and Treasure (宝).

Other collections are Yukari, Yukari Royale, Chinkin, Nippon Art, Urushi and Limited Edition.

The Markeskua Palace, also known as the Tower of Isasi (Isasi Dorrea in Basque, Torre de Isasi in Spanish) or Palace of the Marquis of Isasi, is a renaissance noble house located in the Basque town of Eibar (Spain).

History 

Marquis Martin Lopez Isasi and his wife Domenja Orbea gave orders to build it in the sixteenth century. It was built, as was customary, outside the village proper, on the road to Ermua. At the time, members of the Isasi family held important positions in the Spanish court. In 1631, king Philip IV of Spain entrusted the education of his illegitimate son Francisco Fernando Isidro (Francis Ferdinand Isidore) to Juan Isasi Idiakez, the marquis at the time. The boy lived at this house from age 4 to 7, when he died on March 11, 1634. It does not seem that this fact bothered the king too much, since a few months later, in November 1634, Philip entrusted the marquis with the education of his son and legitimate heir Balthasar Charles, the Prince of Asturias. However, there is no notice that Balthasar Charles ever lived at this house; he also died young, at age 16, but in Zaragoza.

Since the 18th century, the building was occupied by a congregation of nuns. In the last quarter of the 20th century, the nuns left and a Basque-language school or ikastola used the building. In the 21st century, the city council renewed the building at ceded its use to the Basque Summer University, which is headqueartered there since 2000.

Description 
It is a building with a quadrangular floor plan and a hip roof. It has attached to the left side a lower building that is covered with three waters. The lateral and rear façades are made of masonry and the main one is built in ashlar. The facades finish off in a wooden eave with carved cannons.

The palace has a ground floor and three heights, with three openings on the ground floor. The a central access in a round arch voussoired in sandstone ashlars. The arch is flanked by two lintelled and framed windows.

Between the first and second heights and centered on the façade is the coat of arms of the Isasis, large and bordered by two lions. The right façade presents two lintelled and framed windows on the ground floor. On the main façade, three lintelled and framed windows per floor. On the left side, on the ground floor, a lintelled access, a platband delimiting the heights and two linteled and framed windows on the first height.

The flag of Shetland is a white or silver Nordic cross on a blue background. The flag uses the colours of the flag of Scotland, but in the form of the Nordic cross in order to symbolise Shetland's historical and cultural ties with Scandinavia. The official recommended colour of the flag of Scotland is Pantone 300, which implies that this would be appropriate for the Shetland flag too, though the Flag Institute lists the colour as a similar Pantone 286. It was created by Roy Grønneberg and Bill Adams in 1969, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the transfer of the islands from Norway in the Kalmar Union to Scotland and the 500 years before as part of Norway.

The flag is widely used privately by Shetlanders both on land and sea and is now seen as a symbol of the Shetland identity. In 2007 a "Shetland Flag Day" was introduced by the council, who hope the day will be used to "celebrate all things Shetland". After almost forty years of unofficial use, the flag was formally granted by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the heraldic authority of Scotland, on 1 February 2005, in time for the Island Games in July 2005 in Shetland.

The flag is practically identical to the former unofficial national flag of Iceland (the Hvítbláinn) in use by Icelandic nationalist activists from 1897 until 1915, when it was in part abandoned due to its similarity to the Greek jack and the Swedish flag, which critics reasoned would be hard to tell apart at sea, a major issue in a time of war. The white and blue is still used by the Icelandic Youth Association, nationalists and at political events.

"A Girl Like You" is a song by the American alternative rock group The Smithereens. It is the first single released in support of their third album 11.

The song was to be used in the film Say Anything..., but it was ultimately cut from the film because the producers believed the song revealed too much of the story. Backing vocals on the song were provided by Maria Vidal.

Background
Frontman Pat DiNizio attributed the song's harder guitar sound to new producer Ed Stasium: "[The album had] a heavier guitar sound, like in "A Girl Like You". We were trying to preserve our integrity, yet find a home on radio", lead singer Pat DiNizio said.

"A Girl Like You" was written by DiNizio on assignment for Cameron Crowe's film Say Anything.... DiNizio based the lyrics on bits of dialogue in the screenplay. When the film's producer asked DiNizio to change the lyrics, because it revealed too much of the plot, he refused, and the band decided to keep the song for their next album, 11. Pat DiNizio stated that he wrote the lyrics with a separate meaning from the movie in mind.

Madonna was originally enlisted to sing the harmony vocals, but failed to show up for the recording session. Instead, the band got Maria Vidal to do the vocals.

Release
"A Girl Like You" was released as the first single from the band's third album, 11. The track peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and at No. 3 on the magazine's Modern Rock chart. It became the band's first Top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 38 and spending 20 weeks on the chart.

In popular culture
On May 18, 2010, the song was made available as a downloadable song in the Rock Band digital store.

In probability theory and related fields, the life-time of correlation measures the timespan over which there is appreciable autocorrelation or cross-correlation in stochastic processes.

Definition

The correlation coefficient ρ, expressed as an autocorrelation function or cross-correlation function, depends on the lag-time between the times being considered. Typically such functions, ρ(t), decay to zero with increasing lag-time, but they can assume values across all levels of correlations: strong and weak, and positive and negative as in the table.

The life-time of a correlation is defined as the length of time when the correlation coefficient is at the strong level. The durability of correlation is determined by signal (the strong level of correlation is separated from weak and negative levels). The mean life-time of correlation could measure how the durability of correlation depends on the window width size (the window is the length of time series used to calculate correlation).

Beautiful Life is the eighth studio album from Jimmy Greene. Mack Avenue Records released the album on November 25, 2014. Greene dedicated the album to his daughter, Ana Grace Márquez-Greene, who was murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting,

Critical reception

Reviewing the album from The New York Times, Nate Chinen describes, "there's...a quiet resilience in those songs". Marcus Chilton, writing a review at The Daily Telegraph, replies, "Beautiful Life is a remarkable tribute". Awarding the album four and a half stars at AllMusic, Matt Collar states, "Greene transforms his personal anguish into something that's as inspirational to the soul as it is beautiful to the ears." Larkin Corman, rating the album four stars from The Irish Times, writes, "Even without the context, this would be a beautiful recording; knowing the background, one cannot but be humbled by its generosity." Giving the album five stars for All About Jazz, Patricia Myers says, "Greene's album combines jazz with spirituals, contemporary Christian music and ballads, plus three original songs." Jack Goodstein, penning a review at Seattle Post-Intelligencer, responds, "Beautiful Life is an emotionally charged musical celebration of a life too soon lost." Writing a review from the Ottawa Citizen, Peter Hum recognizes, "Totalling about 50 minutes in all, Beautiful Life is a concise album in which every note speaks volumes."

The Pizhi Pagoda () is an 11th-century Chinese pagoda located at Lingyan Temple, Changqing, near Jinan, Shandong province, China. Although originally built in 753 during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (r. 712–756), the present pagoda is a Song dynasty reconstruction from 1056 until 1063, during the last reigning years of Emperor Renzong of Song (r. 1022–1063). This octagonal-based, nine-story-tall, brick-and-stone pagoda stands at a height of 54 m (177 ft).

Etymology
The Chinese word "pizhi" is a translation of the Sanskrit word pratyeka. The pratyeka is a type of buddha, a loner personality and one who has attained enlightenment after the death of the Sakyamuni Buddha. This is achieved by self-study and self-cultivation without the aid of Buddhist teachers or guides. Thus, the Pizhi Pagoda was built by the Song Chinese of the 11th century in dedication of these pratyeka, which is a rarity among pagodas in China.

Features

The basic structure of the pagoda is built of brick, although the exterior facade has carved stone elements. At the base of the pagoda is a stone pedestal carved on four sides with scenes of the Buddhist afterlife and torture scenes in Hell. The first, second, and third stories feature balconies supported by typical Chinese dougong brackets. From the fourth story until the ninth, there are only pent roofs and no balconies. The iron steeple crowning the top of the pagoda is composed of an inverted bowl, discs, a sun, a crescent, and a bead. Iron chains are used to keep the steeple firmly into place on the rooftop. Small iron statues of celestial guards were positioned on the corner ridges by each of the chains, which was believed to keep the chains firmly into place. A large brick pillar and brick stairway lead all the way up to the fifth floor, but only the winding staircase outside the pagoda allows one to traverse all the way to the top where the steeple is located. This arrangement is often seen in stone pagodas, but rarely in brick ones.
