Wu-Chung Hsiang (; born 12 June 1935 in Zhejiang) is a Chinese-American mathematician, specializing in topology. Hsiang served as chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University from 1982 to 1985 and was one of the most influential topologists of the second half of the 20th century.

Biography
Hsiang hails from Wenzhou, Zhejiang. He received in 1957 his bachelor's degree from the National Taiwan University and in 1963 his Ph.D. under Norman Steenrod from Princeton University with thesis Obstructions to sectioning fibre bundles. At Yale University he became in 1962 a lecturer, in 1963 an assistant professor, and in 1968 a full professor. At Princeton University he was a full professor from 1972 until retiring in 2006 as professor emeritus and was the department chair from 1982 to 1985. He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study for the academic years 1965–1966, 1971–1972, and 1979–1980. He was a visiting professor at the University of Warwick in 1966, the University of Amsterdam in 1969, the University of Bonn in 1971, the University of California, Berkeley in 1976, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and Stanford University in 1980.

Hsiang has made important contributions to algebraic and differential topology. Works by Hsiang, Julius Shaneson, C. T. C. Wall, Robion Kirby, Laurent Siebenmann and Andrew Casson led in the 1960s to the proof of the annulus theorem (previously known as the annulus conjecture). The annulus theorem is important in the theory of triangulation of manifolds.

With F. Thomas Farrell he worked on a program to prove the Novikov conjecture and the Borel conjecture with methods from geometric topology and gave proofs for special cases. For example, they gave a proof of the integral Novikov conjecture for compact Riemannian manifolds with non-positive sectional curvature. Hsiang also made contributions to the topological study of simply-connected 4-manifolds.

From 1967 to 1969 he was a Sloan Fellow and for the academic year 1975–1976 a Guggenheim Fellow. In 1980 he was elected a member of Academia Sinica. He was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1970 in Nice, with a talk on Differentiable actions of compact connected Lie groups on  and a Plenary Speaker in 1983 in Warsaw, with a talk on Geometric applications of algebraic K-theory. In 2005 there was a conference at Stanford University in honor of his 70th birthday.

His doctoral students include Ruth Charney, F. Thomas Farrell, Thomas Goodwillie, Michael W. Davis, and Lowell E. Jones.

Austroplaca hookeri is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It was originally described by Carroll William Dodge in 1965, as Gasparrinia hookeri. The type specimen was originally collected by British botanist and explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker on Cockburn Island; the species is named in his honour. The taxon was transferred to the large genus Caloplaca in 2004, and again to the genus Austroplaca in 2013 as part of a restructuring of the family Teloschistaceae.

The lichen forms rosettes up to  in diameter. Its thallus is typically orange, although the colour is yellow in shaded areas. The  at the margins of the thallus are up to 1.5 mm long and 0.5 mm wide. Austroplaca hookeri occurs on rocky seashores of the Antarctic Peninsula, Falkland Islands, and South Shetland Islands in maritime Antarctica.

Joachim Lebreton (1760–1819) was a French professor, public administrator and legislator.

Biography 
Lebreton began his career as professor of Rhetoric at the Collège de Tulle.

He was appointed administrator of Fine Arts of the Ministry of Interior during the French Revolution, at the time of the French Directory. Then, he took part in the 18 Brumaire coup, becoming member of the Revolutionary in the year VIII of the Revolution, a member of Institut de France a society for the propagation of science and the arts, in the year XI, and also a member of Légion d'honneur from the year XII. He later became the secretary of the Institut National, "but resigned in 1815, having opposed the repatriation of works of art looted by Napoleon."

He was removed from office and forced into exile with the European Restoration, coming to get refuge in Brazil under the protection of the Portuguese royal family, who was residing there since 1808.

Lebreton docked in Rio de Janeiro in 1816 and was assigned to lead the Missão Artística Francesa (French Artistic Mission). He died a few years after the arrival of the Missão in Brazil, before their projects to implement a systematic art education, which later resulted in Brazilian academic art, had been fully materialized.

Personal life
Lebreton was married to Anne-Julie d'Arcet (1772–1857). Together, they were the parents of Juliette (née Lebreton) Cloquet (1800–1842).

The River Onny is a river in Shropshire, England. It is a major tributary of the River Teme.

Etymology
The river's name derives from Welsh and means the river on which ash trees (Welsh: onnau) grew.

Course
The river has its sources in the Shropshire Hills at White Grit, located in Mid and South-west Shropshire. It has two branches, the East Onny and West Onny, which converge at Eaton, to the east of Lydham. The River Onny then flows in a south-easterly direction, through Craven Arms and Onibury (a village it gives its name to), before it finally has its confluence with the River Teme just upstream of Ludlow at Bromfield. From White Grit to Bromfield, the river flows over a distance of .

The River Teme is itself a tributary of the River Severn, converging just south of Worcester city centre. The River Severn then flows south-west meeting the sea at Bristol Channel.

Geology
Geologically, the Onny has the type section just west of Craven Arms of the Caradoc series of the Ordovician system and there is a trilobite genus Onnia which was first defined here.

An adventure park is a place which can contain a wide variety of elements, including but not limited to, rope climbing exercises, obstacle courses, bouldering, rock climbing, target oriented activities, and zip-lines. They are usually intended for recreation.

Related outdoor activities 
A ropes course can be considered a challenging outdoor personal development and team-building activity. Some parks offer both - a recreational section and a team building section.

A canopy tour is a specific type of ziplining where a person is harnessed to a steel cable and propelled by gravity from platform to platform high up in the trees of a thick forest canopy. Although these date back far into history for civil and even scientific uses, they are now used for recreation and have created a new activity for the tourism industry.

Safety systems 
The safety equipment for each participant consists of a harness, a lanyard and a belay device. Helmets or gloves can also be used.

William John Tout (1870–1946) was Labour MP for Oldham, a two-member constituency.

Tout began working in a cotton mill in Burnley at the age of ten, initially as a half-timer.  He opposed the half-time system, and took part in the Burnley Weavers' Association's campaigns against it.  This activity gradually brought him to prominence, and in 1911, Tout was elected as the general secretary of the Todmorden Weavers' Association.  Four years later, he was elected as vice-president of the Amalgamated Weavers' Association, to which the Todmorden union was affiliated.  He also served on the executive of the United Textile Factory Workers' Association.

Tout stood as a UTFWA-sponsored candidate in Oldham at the 1922 United Kingdom general election, winning the seat, and held it in 1923.  He lost his seat in 1924, possibly as a result of Labour standing two candidates.  He stood unsuccessfully again at the 1925 Oldham by-election.  He then won Sowerby from the Unionists in 1929, but lost it in 1931.

Out of Parliament, Tout retained his trade union posts until 1945, and remained secretary of the Todmorden Weavers until his death the following year.

In computer graphics, a video card's pixel fillrate refers to the number of pixels that can be rendered on the screen and written to video memory in one second. Pixel fillrates are given in megapixels per second or in gigapixels per second (in the case of newer cards), and are obtained by multiplying the number of render output units (ROPs) by the clock frequency of the graphics processing unit (GPU) of a video card. 

A similar concept, texture fillrate, refers to the number of texture map elements (texels) the GPU can map to pixels in one second. Texture fillrate is obtained by multiplying the number of texture mapping units (TMUs) by the clock frequency of the GPU. Texture fillrates are given in mega or gigatexels per second.

However, there is no full agreement on how to calculate and report fillrates. Another possible method is to multiply the number of pixel pipelines by the GPU's clock frequency.
The results of these multiplications correspond to a theoretical number. The actual fillrate depends on many other factors. In the past, the fillrate has been used as an indicator of performance by video card manufacturers such as ATI and NVIDIA, however, the importance of the fillrate as a measurement of performance has declined as the bottleneck in graphics applications has shifted. For example, today, the number and speed of unified shader processing units has gained attention.

Scene complexity can be increased by overdrawing, which happens when an object is drawn to the frame buffer, and another object (such as a wall) is then drawn on top of it, covering it up. The time spent drawing the first object is thus wasted because it isn't visible. When a sequence of scenes is extremely complex (many pixels have to be drawn for each scene), the frame rate for the sequence may drop. When designing graphics intensive applications, one can determine whether the application is fillrate-limited (or shader limited) by seeing if the frame rate increases dramatically when the application runs at a lower resolution or in a smaller window.

"Dude, Where's My Ranch?" is the eighteenth episode of the fourteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox Network in the United States on April 27, 2003. It was written by Ian Maxtone-Graham and was the first episode directed by Chris Clements.

Plot
At Christmas time, the Simpsons go caroling around Springfield before the Blue-Haired Lawyer orders them to stop, citing copyright infringement. In response, Homer tries to write his own carol but when Ned Flanders tries to help, he soon creates an anti-Flanders song titled "Everybody Hates Ned Flanders". The song becomes so popular that the family, annoyed by its constant presence, leave for a dude ranch. At the ranch, Lisa meets a cowhand named Luke Stetson, with whom she begins to bond. Meanwhile, Homer and Bart meet a tribe of Native Americans who want a beaver dam removed so they can reclaim their land. They are confronted by the beavers while attempting to dismantle the dam and eventually destroy it after luring the beavers away.

Lisa overhears Luke expressing his love to a girl named Clara over the phone. When a jealous Lisa encounters her, she tricks her into going the wrong way on the path to a dance. Lisa finds out that Clara is Luke's sister and runs to the beaver dam with Bart. They find Clara standing on a rock in the middle of a torrential river. Bart taunts some beavers and scales a tree; the beavers chew through the tree, causing it to fall and create a bridge that Clara can cross. When Lisa comes clean about what happened to Clara, Luke is offended and leaves her. As the Simpsons return to Springfield, they hear a song entitled "The Moe Szyslak Connection" on the radio, sung by Moe Szyslak, and turn around to spend another week at the ranch.

Reception
On November 2, 2004, the episode was released in the United States on a DVD collection titled The Simpsons Christmas 2, along with the season twelve episodes "Homer vs. Dignity" and "Skinner's Sense of Snow" and the season fifteen episode 'Tis the Fifteenth Season", despite Christmas only playing a minor role in the first act and not being brought up again afterward.

Reviewing the DVD, Brian James of PopMatters wrote that "Dude, Where's My Ranch?" displays "the series’ nefarious habit of using the first third of the episode as a clearinghouse for disconnected jokes before actually beginning the plot, a blight made that much more glaring here since the only connection to Christmas comes early with the rest not even taking place in winter."

The Stuart Rink was a temporary, outdoor ice rink that was built upon the parade ground on the campus of the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. The rink served as the home for the Army ice hockey program for 15 years and was replaced by a permanent structure, the Smith Rink.

History
Army began playing ice hockey in 1903–04 and initially used the Lusk Reservoir as their home venue. As the sport became more popular at West Point, the student body began to campaign for a greater investment in the program. Chief among the team's needs was stable and consistent ice. In 1914, the athletic department decided to allow a temporary rink to be constructed on the parade ground, behind the gymnasium. The rink was named in honor of Colonel Stuart, the man responsible for devising the scheme of using compacted ice as a bank and progressively filling up the resulting basin with water so the ice surface could be made.

While the purpose-built rink did help the team, it was still subject to local weather conditions. Still learning how to maintain the rink, Army was forced back onto the reservoir after a warm spell in January of 1916. After that small regression, Army rebuilt their rink the following year and was able to use it thereafter. In 1919, cold weather came late in the year and Lusk used instead while in 1928 the temperatures remained too warm for a full-sized rink to be made and the facility at Bear Mountain was used instead. In most seasons, warm air, sunshine and rain forced Army to cancel a few games but the team did receive better ice than that had on Lusk.

In 1930, after Army posted its first winning season in 9 years, The Academy decided that the program deserved to have a permanent home and began construction of the Smith Rink which was completed before the start of the following season.

Pellucidar: A Dreamers Fantabula is an album by John Zorn's group, The Dreamers, released in June 2015 on the Tzadik label.

Reception

Allmusic said  "It's similar to both The Dreamers and O'o, but the playing of this group never gets old. ...Pellucidar is another great offering from Zorn's most accessible project." PopMatters stated "The peculiar thing about Dreamers is that despite the stunning musical acumen of all involved, they aren’t really what one would call a "musician’s band." Their performances are impressive, but in a subtle way. There are no flights of fancy, just an atmosphere to drape over your senses. When a cozy blanket is covering you, you don’t think about the individual fibers. And when you listen to a Dreamers album, you don’t think about Trevor Dunn’s time in Mr. Bungle. You think about how sweet life is and how having another Dreamers album is now a part of that sweet life."

Lyn Brockway (born 1929) is an American painter who was active in the San Francisco abstract expressionism movement in the 1950s.

Biography 
Having grown up in San Francisco, Lyn Brockway went on to attend the University of California (Berkeley) and took courses at the California School of Fine Arts (now San Francisco Art Institute). In the late 1940s, Brockway met Robert Duncan and the artist Jess, and became active in numerous exhibitions, poetry gatherings, and creative endeavors through their circle. Her work is known for its figurative quality, use of bright, hallucinatory colors, rich compositions, and a romanticism emblematic of much work during the San Francisco Renaissance. Some of her noble works include Breakfast in a Paris Lodging (1951), Aunt at Solitaire (1953), and Wild Flowers (1954). She went on to raise a family, following which her art practice was discontinued.
