The National University System Institute for Policy Research, established in 2006 as the San Diego Institute for Policy Research (SDI), formulates and promotes high quality economics, policy, and public opinion research. It aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of local governments in San Diego County and to improve the quality of life enjoyed by the region's citizens. It was established in San Diego by businessman and entrepreneur Steve Francis. In 2009 the San Diego Institute for Policy Research was absorbed into the National University System, a San Diego-based private nonprofit university, and became known as the National University System Institute for Policy Research.

Since its founding in 2006, the institute has published a bi-monthly update on the San Diego Economy, several policy briefs on issues impacting San Diego, a half-dozen longer monographs and done extensive polling with CERC. The institute also publishes a weekly column in the San Diego Daily Transcript.

SDI's president and CEO W. Erik Bruvold was formerly the Vice President for Public Policy for the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation.

Green wood is wood that has been recently cut and therefore has not had an opportunity to season (dry) by evaporation of the internal moisture. Green wood contains more moisture than seasoned wood, which has been dried through passage of time or by forced drying in kilns. Green wood is considered to have 100% moisture content relative to air-dried or seasoned wood, which is considered to be 20%.

Energy density charts for wood fuels tend to use air dried wood as their reference, thus oven dried or 0% moisture content can reflect 103.4% energy content.

Combustion
When green wood is used as fuel in appliances it releases less heat per unit of measure (usually cords or tons) because of the heat consumed to evaporate the moisture. Used for grilling and smoking meat, it can impart the meat with an unpleasant flavor. The lower temperatures that result can lead to more creosote being created which is later deposited in exhaust flues. These deposits can later be ignited when sufficient heat and oxygen are present to cause a chimney fire, which can be destructive and dangerous.

Green lumber
Green lumber presents its own characteristics as well. Some species of wood are better assembled green because wood splits less when nailed green. Other species shrink excessively, leaving voids between the individual pieces when allowed to dry. Often wood to be used for fine products, such as furniture, is kiln dried to stabilize it and minimise the shrinkage of the finished product.

The International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys (; formerly known as the International Federation of Industrial Property Attorneys), is a non-political, international, professional body of intellectual property professionals, i.e., patent attorneys and trademark attorneys, in private practice (as opposed to intellectual property professionals working in the industry). FICPI was established on September 1, 1906, and is based in Basel, Switzerland.

As of 2023, Roberto Pistolesi, a patent attorney, is the president of FICPI.

The Gompertz–Makeham law states that the human death rate is the sum of an age-dependent component (the Gompertz function, named after Benjamin Gompertz), which increases exponentially with age and an age-independent component (the Makeham term, named after William Makeham). In a protected environment where external causes of death are rare (laboratory conditions, low mortality countries, etc.), the age-independent mortality component is often negligible. In this case the formula simplifies to a Gompertz law of mortality. In 1825, Benjamin Gompertz proposed an exponential increase in death rates with age.

The Gompertz–Makeham law of mortality describes the age dynamics of human mortality rather accurately in the age window from about 30 to 80 years of age. At more advanced ages, some studies have found that death rates increase more slowly – a phenomenon known as the late-life mortality deceleration – but more recent studies disagree.

The decline in the human mortality rate before the 1950s was mostly due to a decrease in the age-independent (Makeham) mortality component, while the age-dependent (Gompertz) mortality component was surprisingly stable.  Since the 1950s, a new mortality trend has started in the form of an unexpected decline in mortality rates at advanced ages and "rectangularization" of the survival curve.

The hazard function for the Gompertz-Makeham distribution is most often characterised as . The empirical magnitude of the beta-parameter is about .085, implying a doubling of mortality every .69/.085 = 8 years (Denmark, 2006).

The quantile function can be expressed in a closed-form expression using the Lambert W function:

 

The Gompertz law is the same as a Fisher–Tippett distribution for the negative of age, restricted to negative values for the random variable (positive values for age).

Future of human longevity 
The birth year cohorts of those born after 1950 should be the first to see a considerable delay in the historical course of death, according to  2023 research paper that draws this conclusion solely from maths. The study predicts a future in which longevity records will frequently be broken after 2073, with some prediction graphs reaching into the 140s.

Michael Speechley (born 29 April 1964) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played for Newtown, South Sydney, Cronulla-Sutherland and the Parramatta Eels. His career spanned thirteen seasons in first-grade Australian competition. He primarily played at five-eighth.

Playing career
Speechley began his first grade career with Newtown in 1983, making his first grade debut in Round 2 1983 against North Sydney.

Speechley played in Newtown's final ever game in the top grade which was against the Canberra Raiders in Round 26 1983 which Newtown won 9–6 at Campbelltown Stadium with Speechley scoring a try.

After Newtown were removed from the competition, Speechley spent 2 seasons with South Sydney before signing with Cronulla in 1986.  In 1988, Speechley was part of the Cronulla side which won the minor premiership but fell short of a grand final appearance losing to Balmain in the preliminary final.

Speechley left Cronulla at the end of the 1992 season and signed with Parramatta.  Speechley spent 3 seasons at Parramatta as the club hovered around the foot of the table.  In Speechley's last year at Parramatta, the club only won 3 games for the entire 1995 season.

Speechley was nicknamed The Lawnmower by a commentator in reference to his tackling technique.

In 2015, an article by The Daily Telegraph revealed that Speechley was the last active former player of the Newtown club at the time of his retirement.

The S3 was a French land-based Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile, equipped with a single 1.2-megatonne thermonuclear warhead. In France it is called an SSBS, for Sol-Sol Balistique Stratégique, or Ground-Ground Strategic Ballistic Missile.

Design 
The S3 is a two-stage, solid-propellant Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM). The first stage was inherited from the S2, with a P16 solid fuel engine and 4 exhausts.

The first stage carries  of fuel and burns for 72 seconds. The second stage carries  and burns for 58 seconds. The nuclear warhead, a single 1.2 Mt TN 61, is hardened and carries penetration aids.

Operational history 
From 1971, the main land-based component of the French nuclear deterrent (force de dissuasion) was the S2 missile. In 1973, a programme was started to develop a second-generation "ground-ground ballistic strategic" (SSBS in French) missile, completed in 1980. Two groups totaling 18 S2 missile silos were upgraded to the S3 standard.

A first 9-missile group was deployed at Apt-Saint-Christol air base, on the Plateau d'Albion in the Vaucluse region, entering service in 1982. The second group followed soon after. 40 missiles were built, 13 being used on trials.

The S3 were originally planned to be replaced around 2005 by a land-based version of the M5, the submarine missile planned at the time. As the M5 project was itself delayed and eventually cancelled in favour of the M51, in 1994, the replacement was rescheduled to be a land-based version of the M45. The 18 S3D missile silos were deactivated in September 1996, and within two years and after an expenditure of US$77.5 million, the silos and related facilities were fully dismantled. They would not be replaced.
