A sunbeam, in meteorological optics, is a beam of sunlight that appears to radiate from the position of the Sun. Shining through openings in clouds or between other objects such as mountains and buildings, these beams of particle-scattered sunlight are essentially parallel shafts separated by darker shadowed volumes. Their apparent convergence in the sky is a visual illusion from linear perspective. The same illusion causes the apparent convergence of parallel lines on a long straight road or hallway at a distant vanishing point. The scattering particles that make sunlight visible may be air molecules or particulates.

Crepuscular rays
 

Crepuscular rays or god rays are sunbeams that originate when the sun is just below the horizon, during twilight hours. Crepuscular rays are noticeable when the contrast between light and dark is most obvious. Crepuscular comes from the Latin word "crepusculum", meaning twilight. Crepuscular rays usually appear orange because the path through the atmosphere at sunrise and sunset passes through up to 40 times as much air as rays from a high midday sun. Particles in the air scatter short wavelength light (blue and green) through Rayleigh scattering much more strongly than longer wavelength yellow and red light.

Loosely, the term "crepuscular rays" is sometimes extended to the general phenomenon of rays of sunlight that appear to converge at a point in the sky, irrespective of time of day.

Anticrepuscular rays

In some cases, sunbeams may extend across the sky and appear to converge at the antisolar point, the point on the celestial sphere opposite of the Sun's direction. In this case, they are called antisolar rays (anytime not during astronomical night) or anticrepuscular rays (during the twilight period). This apparent dual convergence (at both the solar and the antisolar points) is a perspective effect analogous to the apparent dual convergence of the parallel lines of a long straight road or hallway at directly opposite points (to an observer above the ground).

Shingle dancing is a form of solo dancing akin to tap dancing, of African American origin, usually associated with old-time music. A shingle dancer dances on a small wooden platform (typically no more than about 30 inches square), sometimes equipped with a bell or a loose piece of metal to allow additional percussive effects.

In the early 19th century in New York City, African American slaves would shingle dance for spare change on their days off.

The Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) was established in 1973 as a platform for people interested in the field of public administration. It aims to give people the opportunity to gain knowledge about developments in the field of public administration and discuss these with each other.

At this moment the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) has about 1,000 individual and institutional members. Among them are students, scientists and practitioners in the field of public administration. Members of the last category could be management consultants, civil servants, and others that are interested in public administration.

The Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) aims to play a distinct role in the debate about the developments of public administration in the Netherlands and in more international contexts. Therefore, the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) both tries to generate knowledge about public administration and give the opportunity to engage in debates about opportune topics. In these debates scientific and practical insights are brought together because of the mixed character of the members of the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration).

Activities 
Activities of the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) include:
 Publishing the scientific magazine Bestuurskunde (Public Administration).
 Organising large nationwide conferences twice a year.
 Regional subcommittees organise smaller conferences regularly.
 www.bestuurskunde.nl, which serves as a platform for interaction among members, knowledge, and communication with the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration).
 Virtueel Bestuur (Virtual Administration). An e-magazine with information and opinions about topics in public administration.
 Participation in institutional networks with e.g. student-associations and other professional organisations.

Through all these activities, the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) hopes to build a bridge between the practice and the science of public administration.

"This Time" is a song written by Chips Moman, which was first recorded by Thomas Wayne and was released as a single on the Fernwood Records label in March 1958. On March 31, 1958, the song was released on the Mercury Records label, as the B-side of "You're The One That Done It".

Background
This song is about rejection, and breaking up of a love relationship with a girl, who is leaving and going away for unknown reasons, except for saying too much. The singer states that there will be no more love and affection, including a goodnight kiss, because he is losing the girl.

Troy Shondell version

In 1961, Troy Shondell released a version of the song, which became an international hit. Shondell's version was released on the Goldcrest Records label, and was later leased to Liberty Records for distribution. Shondell's version spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 6, while reaching No. 4 on Norway's VG-lista, No. 4 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade, No. 8 on New Zealand's "Lever Hit Parade", No. 18 on the United Kingdom's New Musical Express chart, and No. 22 on the United Kingdom's Record Retailer chart.

The song begins and ends with Spanish guitar strums. Those strums were borrowed  for the ending of the instrumental surfing song "Mr. Rebel", by Eddie and the Showmen (1962).

John Sale (1758 – 11 November 1827) was an English bass singer of church music, and a singer and composer of glees.

Life
He was born in London in 1758, the son of John Sale (1734–1802). From 1767 to 1775 Sale was a chorister of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle and of Eton College, and of both was lay vicar from 1777 to 1796. In 1788 he was appointed gentleman of the Chapel Royal, in 1795 vicar choral of St Paul's Cathedral, and in 1796 lay vicar of Westminster Abbey.

In 1800 he succeeded Richard Bellamy as Almoner of St Paul's and Master of the Choristers, which posts he held until 1812. In 1818, becoming senior gentleman or father of the Chapel Royal, he was excused further duty and attendance.

Sale sang as soloist and in concerted music at many concerts and cathedral festivals. From 1789 to 1814 his name appeared in the programmes of the Concerts of Antient Music. He was also interested in glee-singing: he conducted the Glee Club, and in 1785 became honorary member, and in 1812 secretary, of the Noblemen and Gentlemen's Catch Club. He was much sought after as a teacher.

He died in Westminster on 11 November 1827, and was buried on 19 November at St Paul's Cathedral.

The obituary in The Quarterly Musical Magazine & Review commented that "... very few of his contemporaries possessed so sound a judgment in musical compositions, especially vocal, or manifested on all occasions so much taste and discrimination.... As a vocal performer, Mr. Sale was eminently distinguished; united to a rich, full and mellow bass voice, his taste was of the good old English school, strictly pure and carefully adapted to the subject...."

His obituary in The Harmonicon noted: "His aid was generally required in those charming glee parties which were formerly so much the fashion, where his smooth, agreeable voice, and subdued manner of using it, rendered him a valuable assistant."

Family
Two sons had musical careers: John Bernard Sale (1779–1856) was a bass singer, and organist at St Margaret's, Westminster; George Charles Sale (1796–1869) was organist at St Mary's, Newington and later at St George's, Hanover Square. A granddaughter, Lydia Sophia Sale (died 1869) was also a composer and assistant organist at St. Margaret’s, Westminster.

Compositions
Sale published, about 1800, A Collection of New Glees, including six original numbers for three and four voices: "My Phillida, adieu", "Thyrsis, the music of that murmuring spring", "With an honest old friend", "No glory I covet", "With my jug of brown ale" and "Sometimes a happy rustic swain". He also edited Lord Mornington's glees.

Tam Kỳ ()  is the capital city of Quảng Nam Province, in the South Central Coast of Vietnam.

History

The town was established in 1906 under the Nguyễn dynasty as an administrative and tax post. During the Republic of Vietnam, the city was the main base of the US military in Quảng Nam Province (what was then Quảng Tín Province) for the war in Vietnam. The North Vietnamese captured the city on March 24, 1975.

In 1997, the local government under the Socialist Republic of Vietnam made it the capital of Quảng Nam province. Since then, there has been substantial development within the city. Tam Kỳ city is famous for Tam Kỳ chicken rice, which is recognized nationally, and many pristine beaches. In addition, Tam Kỳ city is also famous for Tam Kỳ noodles, which is known as My Quang.

Climate

Transportation

The city is served by Tam Kỳ Railway Station, which is connected to all major cities across Vietnam. Da Nang International Airport is 70 km from the city, which is a one and a half hours' drive. The closer Chu Lai International Airport is 30 km away. There is a free daily shuttle bus between the airport and Quảng Ngãi city center. Other means of transportation include regular car and bus services.

The American Basketball League  was the first independent professional basketball league for women in the United States. The ABL lasted two full seasons: 1996–97 and 1997–98. On December 22, 1998; with almost no warning, the ABL declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy and suspended operations. Each team had played between 12 and 15 games of the 1998–99 season.

Television package
Ultimately, the ABL never did land a major TV contract. None of the ABL games were broadcast nationally or on prime television channels for basketball.

SportsChannel
When the ABL began operations in 1996, its games were carried by the SportsChannel regional networks and Black Entertainment Television (BET) under a two-year contract. SportsChannel would televise 12 games on Sunday nights while BET would televise only 8 games on Saturday nights. SportsChannel televised the San Jose Lasers' opening game on Friday, October 25, 1996 and would televise their January 5 game against the Richmond Rage.

BET
BET initially would televise eight Saturday night games, starting with the New England Blizzard at the Columbus Quest on January 4, 1997 and ending with a playoff semifinal February 22. New England home games on January 25 and February 15 would also be shown during the 1996–97 season. 

Come the second year, the ABL's television package included 36 games combined on Fox Sports Net and BET. 

During 1997, the ABL averaged a 0.6 rating while rival league, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) scored nearly a 2 rating on NBC. A rating point is equal to 980,000 TV households. Besides NBC's weekly game, ESPN and the Lifetime channel also each got a weekly WNBA game. That's a total weekly exposure of 130 million homes, more than double the 66 million the ABL reached on SportsChannel and BET.

BET was scheduled to televise 12 games on Saturday nights. After broadcasting four games in December 1997, the remaining eight would be aired starting on January 4 and the following Saturdays through February. The ABL's revenue came solely from the BET. In comparison, the WNBA (as previously mentioned) boasted major television deals with NBC, ESPN, and the Lifetime cable network. BET would use the games to build a lead-in audience for reruns of 227.

Fox Sports Net
When league officials were negotiating with Fox Sports Net, it was in revision of a contract that the league signed with Fox Sports Net's forerunner, Prime Network. The ABL games were often broadcast on tape delay on BET and Fox Sports Net.

All the while, the ABL had paid a fee to have two games of its championship series aired on CBS had the 1998–99 season been played in full and 16 games on Fox Sports Net, which at the time consisted 22 regional sports cable channels, up to seven playoff games, including all of the best-of-5 ABL championship series. 

Fox Sports Net's primary broadcast team included Tracy Warren (play-by-play), Debbie Antonelli (color commentary), and Heather Cox (sideline reporter). Also utilized by Fox Sports Net were Ron Barr (play-by-play) and Debbie Gore (color commentary).

The Kurchatov Center for Synchrotron Radiation and Nanotechnology (KCSRN) is a Russian interdisciplinary institute for synchrotron-based research. The source is used for research in fields such as biology, chemistry, physics and palaeontology.

As with all synchrotron sources, the Kurchatov source is a user facility.

History 
Construction began in 1986. The intended completion date in 1989 was pushed back due to economic difficulties causing delays. The building was finally completed in December, 1999.

Electron accelerator 
The electron accelerator for the Kurchatov synchrotron was built by Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, a world leader in accelerator physics. The magnetic structure  is very similar to that of the ANKA synchrotron in Karlsruhe. The accelerator includes an injection system, the Sibir-1 booster and the Sibir-2 storage ring. Injection is done at 450 MeV, but an upgrade program was expected to raise the energy level.

Radiation is generated by bending magnets at . Critical energy is  and superconducting high-field wiggler offers , with 19 poles.

Igbaja is a community in Ifelodun Local Government Area, Kwara State, Nigeria, at an elevation of 349 m.  It is about 40 km southeast of Ilorin, and is in Igbomina country.
The Ilorin Provincial Gazetteer (1918) dates the settlement of Igbaja as late 17th or early 18th century, while the Igbaja District Gazetteer (1933–35) puts it about 1750 AD.

The wet season lasts from April to October, with 50–100 cm of rain. In the dry season from November to March there is 0–13 cm of rain. The natural landscape is Southern Guinea savanna, or open woodland. The soils are deep and red, often with clayey subsoils, suitable for pottery making.

The traditional ruler is the Elese of Igbaja, Alhaji Ahmed Babalola Awuni Arepo III, who celebrated his 79th birthday in April 2009, attended by the Kwara State Governor, Doctor Bukola Saraki. 
In August 2009 he advised Muslims to observe the rules of the holy month of Ramadan, and to practice love and tolerance.
Notable Luminariea from this town are numerous. Some of them are Chief (Dr.) Abdul Raheem Oladimeji OFR, Founder Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin; scholar Sheikh Abdul Rahman Muhammadul Awwal Owolabi (K.B.N.M.T.I.L), Chief Alhaji Abdul Raheem Aroyehun, Chief Abdul Kareem Ikolaba, etc.

There have in the past been conflicts in the area between local farmers and nomadic pastoralists.

The Evangelical Church of West Africa now known as the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) established a theological seminary in Igbaja on 12 February 1941, with eighteen students. The seminary trains men and women in biblical interpretation, with the goal of equipping them to become preachers.

The first Bible College (Vernacular Started in 1911 at Egbe, it was moved to Agunjin in 1923 and in 1930 a vernacular Bible school started in Igbaja. This was closed down because the missionary who started it was ill and return home. The continuation of that SIM Bible School began again on 12 February 1941.
