Amytis (Old Persian: ; Ancient Greek:  ; Latin: ) was an Achaemenid princess, daughter of king Xerxes I and queen Amestris, and sister of king Artaxerxes I.

Name
The female name  is the Latinised form of the Greek name  (), which perhaps may reflect (with vowel metathesis) an original Old Persian name , meaning "having good thought," and which is an equivalent of the Avestan term  ().

Life
She was given in marriage to the nobleman Megabyzus. Amytis and her mother are portrayed in Ctesias' account as the most powerful women during Artaxerxes' reign.

Near 445 BCE, her husband Megabyzus started a successful revolt in Syria against Artaxerxes I. Initially, Amytis stayed with the king during the war; however, she later participated, along with Amestris and the satrap Artarius, in the reconciliation negotiations between the rebel and the king. Notwithstanding this, Megabyzus again fell in disgrace and was expelled from the court and exiled to a town on the Persian Gulf. After five years in exile, Megabyzus was forgiven and allowed to return to the court, again thanks to the intercession of Amytis and Amestris.

Amytis bore Megabyzus two sons: Zopyrus and Artyphius. After the death of his father and mother, Zopyrus fled to Athens, where, according to Ctesias, he "was well received owing to the services his mother had rendered to the Athenians".

Greek sources portray Amytis as a licentious woman. According to Ctesias, during Xerxes' reign she was accused of adultery by Megabyzus. The same historian further affirms that, after her husband's death, she had a love affair with the Greek physician Apollonides of Cos, and that when the affair was discovered, Apollonides was tortured and put to death by queen mother Amestris. Dinon, another Greek historian, describes Amytis as the most beautiful and licentious woman of Asia. The most difficult challenge in using historians as Ctesias or Dinon as reliable sources is the fact that they tended to write amazing stories that would better appeal to their readers, often without much attention to historical rigor. The lack of primary sources makes it therefore impossible to have an accurate image of Amytis.

Saunkh, often spelled as Sonkh, is a town and a Nagar Panchayat in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, India.

Archaeology
The site is well-known for archaeological excavations led by Herbert Härtel in 1969-70. Numerous artefacts recovered from Sonkh are visible in the Mathura Museum. Stratigraphical analysis at Sonkh and other sites has shown that the area of Mathura was almost undeveloped and Mathura was mostly a hamlet before the Mauyra era.

Coins of the Mitra dynasty were found in Sonkh, corresponding to layers dated to about 150-50 BCE, at a time when the Indo-Greeks ruled over the region. The earliest Mitra coins are those of Gomitra (150-50 BCE).

Sophie Jane Edington (born 12 December 1984) is an Australian backstroke and freestyle swimmer.

Biography
Edington trained at the Kingscliff ASC club under Greg Salter.  After Salter took up an overseas coaching role Edington moved to Queensland to train under the QAS program from the end of 2008.  In 2010, she moved to Melbourne where she trained at MSAC.  At the 2005 World Aquatics Championships in Montréal she won two gold medals, with the backstroke leg in 4×100-metre medley relay, and as a heat swimmer in the 4×100-metre freestyle relay.  She won three gold medals at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne: 50-metre and 100-metre backstroke, and the 4×100-metre medley relay in world record time of 3:56.30 seconds with teammates Leisel Jones, Libby Lenton and Jessicah Schipper. Edington set a new world record for the 50-metre backstroke at the 2008 Australian Olympic Trials. She was part of the relay team in 2004 that broke the World Record at the world short course championships.  Four years after winning three gold medals at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Edington was successful in defending the 50m backstroke title to claim her fourth Commonwealth gold medal at Delhi in 2010.

After narrowly missing the 2012 Olympic team, Edington competed in the European summer circuit prior to working with Channel 7 News during the London Games.  Continuing in the sports world, Edington moved to Switzerland and worked at the International Olympic Committee until the end of 2014. Edington now works for The Cambridge Strategy (Asset Management) and resides in Monaco.

Saúl Fernández García (born 9 April 1985), known simply as Saúl, is a Spanish retired footballer. A midfielder, he was comfortable on both sides of the pitch.

He amassed Segunda División totals of 140 games and 14 goals over six seasons, representing five clubs. He appeared in 35 matches in La Liga during his 11-year professional career, with Málaga, Levante and Deportivo.

Club career
Saúl was born in Oviedo, Asturias. After finishing his football grooming with Sporting de Gijón he made his professional debut in the 2005–06 season with Málaga CF's B-team, which was then in the second division. In May 2006, as the main squad's fate was already decided for the worst, he made his first two La Liga appearances, against neighbours Sevilla FC (0–2 home loss) and Cádiz CF (0–5 away defeat); incidentally, the reserves were also relegated.

Saúl then joined Levante UD for 2007–08, in another troubled campaign with the club submersed in deep financial problems and eventually dropping down to the second level. He had his breakthrough season the following year as he scored eight league goals for Valencian neighbours Elche CF, after having signed a two-year deal with the division two side the previous summer.

After his spell with Elche, Saúl did not have his contract renewed. In late July 2010, he moved to Deportivo de La Coruña.

Barton Beds (now the Barton Group) is the name given to a series of grey and brown clays, with layers of sand, of Upper Eocene age (around 40 million years old), which are found in the Hampshire Basin of southern England. They are particularly well exposed in the cliffs at Barton-on-Sea, which is the type locality for the Barton Beds, and lends its name to the Bartonian age of the Eocene epoch. The clay is abundant in fossils, especially molluscs.

The beds are found in the Hampshire Basin, and are well exposed in the cliffs of Barton, Hordle, and on the Isle of Wight. The cliffs at Barton are the world type locality for the Barton Beds. The beds consist of grey, greenish and brown clays with bands of sand and have long been well known for the abundance and excellent preservation of their fossils. More than 500 species have been recorded, of which, over half are molluscs, including numerous turret shells and lamellibranchs. Sharks teeth are common, and the beds have yielded remains of corals, fishes, mammals, reptiles, and birds. Plant fossils are also abundant. In the 1840s fossils were found in the "crocodile bed" at Hordle cliff, which belonged to an extinct species of alligator, which was subsequently named Diplocynodon hantoniensis, after the county of Hampshire (Hantonia being a Latinization based on the Anglo-Saxon name Hantescire). Above the highly fossiliferous Barton Clay, there is a sandy series with few fossils; these are the Headon Hill or Barton Sands. Today, the Barton Beds are rather poorly exposed in many sections due to coastal protection works.

The Barton Beds are of Upper Eocene age, and the area was covered with an inland sea, and the temperature was higher than at the present day. The term "Bartonian" was introduced by Karl Mayer-Eymar in 1857 for the continental equivalents of the series.

A Curious Hieroglyphic Bible is an early American children's book. Published in 1788 by Isaiah Thomas in Worcester, Massachusetts, it is a Bible partially in rebus form (some words replaced by pictures). It is not to be confused with a similar work of the same name published in 1784 in London by Thomas Hodgson.

The book, of which only four remaining copies are known to exist, contains almost 500 woodcuts. This was the first American rebus bible, a popular form in the late 18th century for introducing children to bible reading. The book was one of 88 books included in the Library of Congress's 2012 exhibition "Books That Shaped America".

"Salute Your Solution" is a song by the Raconteurs. It is the first single from their second album Consolers of the Lonely. It was released on March 25, 2008 the same day as the album release. Jack White and Brendan Benson share lead vocal duties on the track. The song was featured in commercials for NFL on Fox, the 2009 comedy film Zombieland, the 2012 action film Premium Rush, the 2017 Power Rangers movie, and the launch trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The song was also in the 2023 film The Flash, the documentary Warren Miller's Children of Winter, and is available as downloadable content for music games Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2.

The single peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, their second highest-charting single (after 2006's "Steady, As She Goes").

Music video

A music video was made for the single and was released on March 25, 2008.  It was directed by Autumn de Wilde.

Critical response
Commenting on the rhythm section by Patrick Keeler (drums) and Jack Lawrence (bass), Prefix Magazine said that "their propulsive rhythm single-handedly saves first single 'Salute Your Solution'."
The Metro Times said the single "feature[s] monster guitar riffs that wouldn't sound out of place on a Free or early Aerosmith record." This song was number 42 on Rolling Stones list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.

In mathematics, in the field of additive combinatorics, a Gowers norm or uniformity norm is a class of norms on functions on a finite group or group-like object which quantify the amount of structure present, or conversely, the amount of randomness. They are used in the study of arithmetic progressions in the group.  They are named after Timothy Gowers, who introduced it in his work on Szemerédi's theorem.

Definition 

Let  be a complex-valued function on a finite abelian group  and let  denote complex conjugation.  The Gowers -norm is

Gowers norms are also defined for complex-valued functions f on a segment , where N is a positive integer. In this context, the uniformity norm is given as , where  is a large integer,  denotes the indicator function of [N], and  is equal to   for   and  for all other . This definition does not depend on , as long as .

Inverse conjectures 

An inverse conjecture for these norms is a statement asserting that if a bounded function f has a large Gowers d-norm then f correlates with a polynomial phase of degree d − 1 or other object with polynomial behaviour (e.g. a (d − 1)-step nilsequence). The precise statement depends on the Gowers norm under consideration.

The Inverse Conjecture for vector spaces over a finite field  asserts that for any  there exists a constant  such that for any finite-dimensional vector space V over  and any complex-valued function  on , bounded by 1, such that , there exists a polynomial sequence  such that 

where . This conjecture was proved to be true by Bergelson, Tao, and Ziegler.

The Inverse Conjecture for Gowers  norm asserts that for any , a finite collection of (d − 1)-step nilmanifolds  and constants  can be found, so that the following is true. If  is a positive integer and  is bounded in absolute value by 1 and , then there exists a nilmanifold  and a nilsequence  where  and  bounded by 1 in absolute value and with Lipschitz constant bounded by  such that:

This conjecture was proved to be true by Green, Tao, and Ziegler. It should be stressed that the appearance of nilsequences in the above statement is necessary. The statement is no longer true if we only consider polynomial phases.

Additive combinatorics
Tackifiers are chemical compounds used in formulating adhesives to increase tack, the stickiness of the surface of the adhesive.  They are usually low-molecular weight compounds with high glass transition temperature. At low strain rate, they provide higher stress compliance, and become stiffer at higher strain rates.

Tackifiers tend to have low molecular weight, and glass transition and softening temperature above room temperature, providing them with suitable viscoelastic properties. Tackifiers frequently represent most of both weight percentage and cost of hot melt adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives. In hot melt adhesives they can comprise up to about 40% of total mass.

Tackifiers are usually resins (e.g. rosins and their derivates, terpenes and modified terpenes, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic resins (C5 aliphatic resins, C9 aromatic resins, and C5/C9 aliphatic/aromatic resins), hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins, and their mixtures, terpene-phenol resins (TPR, used often with ethylene-vinyl acetate adhesives)), novolacs.

Many pressure-sensitive adhesives are a blend of rubbers (natural or synthetic) and a tackifying resin. Some acrylic adhesives also include an additional tackifier.   Silicone rubber–based pressure-sensitive adhesives require special tackifiers based on "MQ" silicate resins, composed of a monofunctional trimethyl silane ("M") reacted with quadrafunctional silicon tetrachloride ("Q").

Tackifiers are also used in tyres.

In popular culture 
For Ghostbusters (2016 film), agricultural tackifier was a key ingredient in making the huge amounts of slime used during filming of the movie.

Cedar is a small community in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is located near the east coast of Vancouver Island — about  south-east of Nanaimo — along the banks of the Nanaimo River. Its geographical coordinates are .

The village was so named because of the profusion of Thuja plicata trees in its vicinity, known as the Western Red Cedar. Cedar as a locality existed prior to 1888, as on April 1, that year, a post office was opened.

To the north of Cedar, three Snuneymuxw First Nation Indian reserves, Nanaimo River 2, 3, and 4, border the community.

Nearby parks include Nanaimo River Regional Park, Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park, and Hemer Provincial Park.
