Kwadijk is a village and former municipality in the northwest Netherlands. It is a part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam in the Dutch province of North Holland. Kwadijk is located about  north of Amsterdam and about  north of Purmerend.

History

At least from 1414 there was a church in Kwadijk. That year the inhabitants of Kwadijk became "citizens" of Edam, from where the village was largely controlled. Many of the inhabitants of Kwadijk had relocated from the abandoned village Drei or Verdrey to the north of current Kwadijk between the Nieuwendijk and the Wijzend (near present-day Hobrede).  At least until 1567 the Kwadijkers maintained the old graveyard of Drei.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, in addition to livestock and fishery, inhabitants also received income from through sailing industry. The old cruciform church from the beginning of the 16th century was replaced by the present church of Kwadijk, which dates back to 1835.

On January 1, 1812 both Kwadijk and Warder were added to the municipality of Middelie, however on May 1, 1817 all three emerged as independent municipalities. Yet even while independent, all three municipalities shared one mayor and were administered from the nearby city of Edam. This situation changed in 1890, when at the age of 29, Simon Berman was appointed mayor of Kwadijk, Middelie, and Warder. Berman moved the mayor's residence and local government office for the three municipalities into Kwadijk so he could live and provide services among his constituents.

On May 20, 1884 a railway station was opened in Kwadijk, on the line Enkhuizen-Zaandam. Originally the station was known as Kwadijk-Edam. From May 15, 1935 it was named Kwadijk. Not for long, as the station was closed on May 15, 1938. An occasional train would still make a stop at Kwadijk until 1941. Between May 1, 1906 and May 15, 1933 one could travel from "Kwadijk-Edam" railway station to Volendam and Edam by a steam-propelled tram, operated by the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij. Some of the tram's right-of-way is still distinguishable in the landscape between Kwadijk and Edam. After its final closure, the structure of Kwadijk's railway station served as residential building, art studio, and warehouse. In 2010 the building was rehabbed into a modern office building, while preserving historical elements.

In 1925 the water tower of Kwadijk was built by the provincial water supply company of North Holland. It was designed by the architect B.F. van Niefelt. The tower later became a residential structure. It is a national monument of the Netherlands.

In 1970 the municipality of Kwadijk merged into the new municipality of Zeevang. As part of the reorganization, the hamlet of Verloren Einde was added to the village of Kwadijk.

The 1940 Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels football team represented Oglethorpe University in the sport of American football as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) during the 1940 college football season. This was the last large team from Oglethorpe before the war drafted so many students. Despite doing poorly, they had a strong schedule for an independent team. Practices were conducted at the North Fulton High School's field.

Mitral facies is a distinctive facial appearance associated with mitral stenosis.

Someone with mitral stenosis may present with rosy cheeks, whilst the rest of the face has a bluish tinge due to cyanosis. This is especially so in severe mitral stenosis. Because low cardiac output in mitral stenosis produces vasoconstriction, peripheral cyanosis is often seen in the lips, the tip of nose, and the cheeks. Occasionally, along with these, malar flush is seen, because of vasodilation (vascular stasis) in the malar area.

In the natural sciences, especially in atmospheric and Earth sciences involving applied statistics, an anomaly is a persisting deviation in a physical quantity from its expected value, e.g., the systematic difference between a measurement and a trend or a model prediction. 
Similarly, a standardized anomaly equals an anomaly divided by a standard deviation. 
A group of anomalies can be analyzed spatially, as a map, or temporally, as a time series.
It should not be confused for an isolated outlier.
There are examples in atmospheric sciences and in geophysics.

Calculation
The location and scale measures used in forming an anomaly time-series may either be constant or may themselves be a time series or a map. For example, if the original time series consisted of daily mean temperatures, the effect of seasonal cycles might be removed using a deseasonalization filter.

Robust statistics, resistant to the effects of outliers, are sometimes used as the basis of the transformation.

Examples

Atmospheric sciences
In the atmospheric sciences, the climatological annual cycle is often used as the expected value.  Famous atmospheric anomalies are for instance the Southern Oscillation index (SOI) and the North Atlantic oscillation index.  SOI is the atmospheric component of El Niño, while NAO plays an important role for European weather by modification of the exit of the Atlantic storm track.
A climate normal can also be used to derive a climate anomaly.

Geophysics
 Gravity anomaly, difference between the observed gravity and a value predicted from a model
 Bouguer anomaly, anomaly in gravimetry
 Free-air anomaly, gravity anomaly that has been computed for latitude and corrected for elevation of the station
 Iridium anomaly, an unusual abundance of what is normally a very rare element in the Earth's crust
 Magnetic anomaly, local variation in the Earth's magnetic field
 Bangui magnetic anomaly, in central Africa
 Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, territory rich in iron ores located within Kursk Oblast, Belgorod Oblast, and Oryol Oblast
 Temagami Magnetic Anomaly, large buried geologic structure in the Temagami region of Ontario, Canada

Sir Stanley Paul Chambers,  (2 April 1904 – 23 December 1981) was a British civil servant and industrialist and Chairman of ICI.

He was born in London and educated at the City of London School before going up to study economics at the London School of Economics.

After graduating, he entered the Inland Revenue and in 1934 was appointed Income Tax Advisor to the Government of India. He returned to the UK in 1940 to be Director of Statistics and Intelligence in the Inland Revenue. He was then appointed Secretary and a Commissioner of the Board. One of his major tasks during the war was to devise the new PAYE (Pay as You Earn) employee taxation system in use in the UK today. After the war he served on the Control Commission for Germany for two and a half years.

In 1948, he succeeded Sir William Coates as Financial Director of Imperial Chemical Industries (now ICI), one of Britain's largest companies. He became Deputy Chairman in 1952 and was Chairman from 1960 to 1968, the first non-scientist to hold the post. He moved from there to be Chairman of Royal Insurance.

He was President of the Royal Statistical Society from 1964 to 1965. The society's Chambers Medal, awarded every three years, is named after him.

He was Pro-Chancellor of the University of Kent from 1971 to 1977.

The minisuperspace in physics, especially in theories of quantum gravity, is an approximation of the otherwise infinite-dimensional phase space of a field theory.
The phase space is reduced by considering the largest wavelength modes to be of the order of the size of the universe when studying cosmological models and removing all larger modes.
The validity of this approximation holds as long as the adiabatic approximation holds.

An example would be to only consider the scale factor and Hubble constant for a Friedman–Robertson–Walker model in minisuperspace model the small true vacuum bubble which is nearly spherical with one single parameter of the scalar factor a is described as minisuperspace. It plays a significant role in the explanation of the origin of universe as a bubble in quantum cosmological theory.

Like TV1, TV2 started broadcasting in colour since 28 December 1978 in Peninsular Malaysia and 31 August 1980 in Sabah and Sarawak just in time for Independence Day (). During its early years, it only broadcast in the evenings, with daytime broadcasts for schools under the TV Pendidikan banner from 1972 until 1999 when daytime transmission was introduced on the channel.

Since 3 April 2006, the channel began to broadcast 24 hours a day to offer more programmes for viewers who stay up late to watch television. Its sister channel, TV1 followed suit more than 6 years later on 21 August 2012.

Portrait of Lotte is a time-lapse viral video involving a girl growing from a newborn in 1999 into a teenager. It was first posted by filmmaker Frans Hofmeester from Utrecht, Netherlands on 17 April 2012.

It has reached widespread and the video was used on a Sprint commercial.

Vince 
After 12 years of recording Lotte, Hoffmeester started recording videos of his son, Vince.

He described Lotte's video as being more "sweet" and Vince's as more "playful".

Background 
Hoffmeester recorded 15 second videos every week of his daughter, Lotte, from a newborn to a teenager and compiled them together to make a time-lapse video. He calls it "the ultimate coming of age time-lapse". He has done several videos of her being recorded to different ages, such as 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 years old.

Hofmeester explains, "She was changing at such a rapid pace, that I felt the need to document the way she looked, to keep my memories intact".

Commenting on the occasions he found it difficult to get the footage required, he said, "Sometimes they did not feel like it. Then I said, 'Just one minute. Tell me about your ball game, did you win?' That way I stalled them so I could complete the shot".
