Iowa Highway 160 (Iowa 160) is a short state highway that runs east and west in central Iowa.  Its begins at Iowa 415 in Ankeny and ends at exit 90 of Interstate 35 (I-35) in Ankeny.  Originally ending at a Y intersection, south of the current intersection with Iowa 415, the route has been straightened to run west and east.  Iowa 160 passes Des Moines Area Community College near its intersection with U.S. Highway 69 (US 69).

Route description
Iowa 160 begins at an intersection with Iowa 415 in southwestern Ankeny.  Iowa 415 comes from the south and the west, Iowa 160 begins heading east, and Ankeny's State Street continues north.  Iowa 160, known locally as Oralabor Road, passes to the south of the main campus of Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC).  A short while later, it intersects US 69, also known as Ankeny Boulevard.  Continuing east, it enters a dense commercial area of Ankeny.  It passes beneath a pedestrian bridge built in 2022 as an extension of the High Trestle Trail.  Just  from its eastern end, it intersects Delaware Avenue, a north–south street which diverts retail traffic exiting from I-35 just to the east.  Iowa 160 ends at an interchange, exit 90, with I-35.

History
Iowa 160 was designated in 1947 as a diagonal connector route from Iowa 60, now Iowa 415, to US 69.  The roadway was originally constructed in 1942 as a connector to the Des Moines Ordnance Plant.  It was built by the Iowa State Highway Commission, but the entire costs were borne by the federal government as part of the war effort.  In 1961, work began on reconstructing the intersection with Iowa 60 into a "one-level interchange", which provided each traffic movement a dedicated lane.

That intersection was reworked starting in 1984 as the state highway commission, now the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT), and United States Army Corps of Engineers  (Corps) sought to improve the connection between I-35 and Iowa 415 and recreation areas near Saylorville Lake and Big Creek State Park.  The plans would also move the intersection of Iowa 415 and Iowa 160 farther north from its location at the time and it would become a T intersection.  On July 1, 1980, the Iowa DOT took over a  segment of Oralabor Road between US 69 and I-35 and applied the Iowa 160 designation to it.  Through most of 1985, the Oralabor Road interchange on I-35 was closed for reconstruction.  That same year, Oralabor Road was widened to four lanes between US 69 and Delaware Avenue.  As part of the Iowa 415 connection project, the Corps spent $9.95 million (equivalent to $ in ) on building the new intersection and relocating the two state highways.  The new Iowa 415/Iowa 160 intersection was completed in early 1986 and both highways were realigned onto to their current roadways.

Kilgallioch Wind Farm is a 96 turbine wind farm in South Ayrshire, Scotland with a total capacity of up to 239 megawatts (MW). Consent granted by the Scottish Government in February 2013 with construction starting in 2015 and completed in 2017. The wind farm contains 70 km of internal tracks, and a surface area of roughly 32 km2.

Incidents 
On 13 January 2017 a turbine under construction catastrophically collapsed during a storm.

On 15 March 2017 Portuguese construction worker António João Linares, who was working for turbine manufacturer Gamesa, was killed when he fell 8 metres within a tower.

History

Project history 
The wind farm construction was completed and began operating in 2017. SPR have identified this area to the south of Kilgallioch Windfarm as having great potential to be an extension to the site.

A met mast was installed at High Eldrig in 2018 as a part of the development process, the mast was used to gather information on wind conditions at the site. In April 2019 a scoping report was sent to the Scottish Government’s Energy Consent Unit.

Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) submitted an Addendum (Al1) to this applicant request for authorization to remove proposed solar arrays from the design site. Al1 was then advertised and consulted from January to February 2021.

Following the consultation with Historic Environment Scotland(HES) in September 2021, SPR has submitted another Addendum(Al2) to the request for authorization to remove two wind turbines (T1 and T11) from the site design. AL2 was then advertised and consulted from September to November 2021.

Current stage 
Consent was granted to Scottish Power Renewables(UK) Limited (SPR) by Scottish Ministers on 8 December 2021 to construct and operate Kilgallioch Windfarm Extension. The construction consist of an electricity generating station with generation capacity of 50MW when the station is combined with the existing Kilgallioch Wind Farm, which consists of 9 wind turbines, located approximately 9.5 km north west of Kirkcowan in the authority of Dumfries and Galloway Council and South Ayrshire Council, together with the planning permission under section 57(2) of the Town & Country Planning Act (Scotland) 1997.  Consent was granted for 9 turbines with the maximum height of 180m with the generating capacity of 50mw.

An adaptive algorithm is an algorithm that changes its behavior at the time it is run, based on information available and on a priori defined reward mechanism (or criterion). Such information could be the story of recently received data, information on the available computational resources, or other run-time acquired (or a priori known) information related to the environment in which it operates.

Among the most used adaptive algorithms is the Widrow-Hoff’s least mean squares (LMS), which represents a class of stochastic gradient-descent algorithms used in adaptive filtering and machine learning. In adaptive filtering the LMS is used to mimic a desired filter by finding the filter coefficients that relate to producing the least mean square  of the error signal (difference between the desired and the actual signal).

For example, stable partition, using no additional memory is O(n lg n) but given O(n) memory, it can be O(n) in time. As implemented by the C++ Standard Library, stable_partition is adaptive and so it acquires as much memory as it can get (up to what it would need at most) and applies the algorithm using that available memory.  Another example is adaptive sort, whose behavior changes upon the presortedness of its input.

An example of an adaptive algorithm in radar systems is the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detector.

In machine learning and optimization, many algorithms are adaptive or have adaptive variants, which usually means that the algorithm parameters such as learning rate are automatically adjusted according to statistics about the optimisation thus far (e.g. the rate of convergence). Examples include adaptive simulated annealing, adaptive coordinate descent, adaptive quadrature, AdaBoost, Adagrad, Adadelta, RMSprop, and Adam.

In data compression, adaptive coding algorithms such as Adaptive Huffman coding or Prediction by partial matching can take a stream of data as input, and adapt their compression technique based on the symbols that they have already encountered.

In signal processing, the Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding (ATRAC) codec used in MiniDisc recorders is called "adaptive" because the window length (the size of an audio "chunk") can change according to the nature of the sound being compressed, to try to achieve the best-sounding compression strategy.

Arthur Adolph Loesser (August 26, 1894 – January 5, 1969) was an American classical pianist, musicologist, and writer.

Early life
Born into a musical family in New York City, Loesser received early piano training from his German-born father until he began lessons with Zygmunt Stojowski at the Institute of Musical Art, now called the Juilliard School.

Career
Loesser was the author of the books Humor in American Song and Men, Women, and Pianos: A Social History. He also wrote program notes for the Cleveland Orchestra and liner notes for recordings by Vladimir Horowitz and other musicians.

Loesser served on the faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music beginning in 1926. From 1953 until his death in 1969, he was head of the piano department. His pupils included Sergio Calligaris, Anton Kuerti, and Jane Corner Young.

As a pianist, Loesser gave numerous concerts and recitals, his first during 1913 in Berlin. He often coupled his recitals with lectures which were known for their wit. He was active during the 1920s and 1930s as one half of a piano duo with the famous conductor Wilfrid Pelletier. The two made a number of recordings together that were made under the direction of Arthur Bodanzky. He also made several solo recordings, some of which have been issued on compact disc.

Arthur Loesser wrote Men, Women & Pianos: A Social History which was published by Simon & Schuster in 1954.

Army service
During World War II, from 1943, Loesser served in the US Army where he worked in the Japanese intelligence department. It was during this period that he mastered the Japanese language and after the war ended he gave recitals with lectures in Tokyo. Loesser eventually retired from the army with the rank of major.

Personal life
Arthur Loesser was the half-brother of Broadway composer Frank Loesser. He jokingly described Frank as "the evil of two Loessers".

Loesser was married to Jean Basset; the couple had one daughter, the fashion historian Anne Hollander.

Loesser died from a heart attack at the wheel of his car, outside the Cleveland Institute of Music on January 4, 1969, aged 74.

Salix arctica, the Arctic willow, is a tiny creeping willow (family Salicaceae). It is adapted to survive in Arctic conditions, specifically tundras.

Description
S. arctica is typically a low shrub growing to only  in height, rarely to , although it may reach  in height in the Pacific Northwest. It has round, shiny green leaves  long and  broad; they are pubescent, with long, silky, silvery hairs. Like the rest of the willows, Arctic willow is dioecious, with male and female catkins on separate plants. As a result, the plant's appearance varies; the female catkins are red-coloured, while the male catkins are yellow-coloured.

Despite its small size, it is a long-lived plant, growing extremely slowly in the severe arctic climate; one in eastern Greenland was found to be 236 years old.

Hybrids with Salix arcticola and Salix glauca are known.

Distribution and habitat
The Arctic willow grows in tundra and rocky moorland, and is the northernmost woody plant in the world, occurring far above the tree line to the northern limit of land on the north coast of Greenland. Its distribution is circumpolar. It occurs in Canada in the mainland northern territories and in the Arctic Archipelago all the way up to Ellesmere Island alongside Greenland, and in northern Quebec and Labrador, as well as in northern Iceland, Fenno-Scandinavia, northern Russia and northern Alaska.

It also occurs further south in North America on high-altitude alpine tundra, south to the Sierra Nevada in California and the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico. It also occurs in Xinjiang, China.

Ecology
The Arctic willow is a food source for several Arctic animals. Muskoxen, caribou, Arctic hares, and lemmings all feed on the bark and twigs, while the buds are the main food source of the rock ptarmigan.

It is the primary host plant and food source for the Arctic woolly bear moth (Gynaephora groenlandica).

Uses
Both the Inuit and the Gwich’in make use of this willow. Twigs are used as fuel, while the decayed flowers (suputiit) are mixed with moss and used as wicking in the kudlik. The plant was used for several medicinal purposes, such as relieving toothache, helping to stop bleeding, curing diarrhoea and indigestion, and as a poultice on wounds.

Both the Gwich’in and Inuit in the Bathurst Inlet area were known to eat parts of the plant, which is high in vitamin C and tastes sweet. One young leaf contains 7 to 10 times more vitamin C than an orange. The inside of the young shoots (excluding the bark) can be eaten raw, including those found underground.

Wolf chess (German: Wolf-Schach) is a chess variant invented by Dr. Arno von Wilpert in 1943. It is played on an 8×10 chessboard and employs several fairy pieces including wolf and fox – compound pieces popular in chess variants and known by different names.

Wolf chess correspondence matches and tournaments have been held, one of which (Paris vs. Augsburg, September 1960) is claimed to be the first international  match for a chess variant.

Game rules

As in standard chess, White moves first and the winning objective is checkmate. The king, queen, rook, bishops, and pawns move and capture the same as they do in chess. In addition, there are some special rules.

Special rules
 The wolf moves and captures as a chess rook and a chess knight.
 The fox moves and captures as a chess bishop and a chess knight.
 The nightrider moves and captures as a chess knight extended to make any number of steps in the same direction in a straight line.
 A sergeant moves and captures one step straight or diagonally forward. A sergeant has the option, like a chess pawn, to move a double-step straight forward (but not diagonally) on its first move.
 A pawn (but not a sergeant) may capture an enemy pawn or sergeant en passant.
 Pawns and sergeants promote on the last  to: queen, wolf, fox, rook, bishop, or nightrider. Pawns (but not sergeants) have an additional option of promoting to elephant (also called amazon rider in pocket mutation chess). The elephant piece is not present in the starting setup; it moves and captures as a chess queen and a nightrider (i.e. stronger than an amazon).
 There is no castling in wolf chess.
