He is immediate past chair of the board on Population Health and Public Health Practice of the Institute of Medicine and served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Schools of Public Health. Additionally, he holds an endowed chair known as the James W. Curran Dean of Public Health. Curran is considered to be a pioneer, leader, and expert in the field of HIV/AIDS.

Time at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
From 1981 Curran led the task force on HIV/AIDS at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and subsequently led the HIV/AIDS Division. While at the CDC, he attained the rank of the assistant surgeon general. He is featured in And the Band Played On, a non-fiction book by San Francisco Chronicle journalist Randy Shilts, which chronicles the discovery and spread of HIV/AIDS. Curran was a pioneer in the field in that he was one of the first scientists to recognize the infectious nature of HIV/AIDS, and he is recognized for fighting the stigmatization of people who are infected with HIV/AIDS. In the film version of And the Band Played On he was portrayed by Saul Rubinek.

Curran was interviewed by Barry Petersen in an early CBS News report on "gay cancer" on June 12, 1982, with Bobbi Campbell, Larry Kramer and Marcus Conant.

Achievements 
Curran is a fellow member of the American Epidemiologic Society, the American College of Preventive Medicine, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America. He is author or co-author of more than 260 scholarly publications, including reports from two recent IOM committees that he chaired or co-chaired on the global AIDS scale up and has served as Chair of the national Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), the Office of AIDS Research (OAR) Council, and the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine's Board of Population Health and Public Health Practice. He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 1993, and he was given the Surgeon General's Medal of Excellence in 1996 and the John Snow Award from the American Public Health Association in 2003.

Mainz-Bischofsheim station is the station of the town of Bischofsheim in the German state of Hesse on the Main Railway from Mainz to Frankfurt am Main. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station. The station is served by the S-Bahn and regional trains. The station was opened at its current location in 1904.

Between 1930 and 1945, Bischofsheim was a district of the city of Mainz and, as a result, the station was renamed Mainz-Bischofsheim. In 1945, the American and French occupying authorities transferred Bischofsheim to American administration and several months later it became part of the new state of Hesse. Although Bischofsheim became a self-governing municipality again as a result, the station is still called Mainz-Bischofsheim.

History 
The Mainz rail bypass was built at the beginning of the 20th century to relieve Mainz Hauptbahnhof, running from Mainz via Wiesbaden to Bischofsheim. The construction of the Kostheim Bridge over the Main near Hochheim connected the Taunus Railway near Mainz-Kastel with the Hessian Ludwig Railway, connecting Mainz, Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg. In Bischofsheim trains can instead branch off the Hessian Ludwig Railway on to the Main Railway to Frankfurt.

The Prussian-Hessian Railway Company created a hub of national significance at Bischofsheim. As a result, freight and passenger facilities were spatially separated. The old station building at the water tower (both of which are listed as monuments under the Hessian heritage law) was now used for handling freight. A new entrance building was built for passengers in 1904, a few hundred metres to the north-west.

Description 

The new entrance building was built on a hillside as a massive two-storey building in the contemporary Art Nouveau style. The stone floors are plastered and the gables of the transept are built of timber. Access to the station is upstairs. The platforms are reached via a footbridge from the entrance building.

After numerous structural changes to the original historic building, it was dismantled and modernised in 2002/03.

The Mainz-Bischofsheim marshalling yard is now one of the most important marshalling yards in the Rhine-Main area.

Rail operations 
Bischofsheim lies in the area served by the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (Rhine-Main Transport Association, RMV). It is served by Rhine-Main S-Bahn trains operated by DB Regio. Services on lines S 8 and S 9 each operate at 30-minute intervals on the Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof–Hanau Hauptbahnhof route. Together the two lines operate at 15-minute intervals through Bischofsheim. Line S8 runs through Mainz Hauptbahnhof to Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof, while line S9 runs via Kostheim Bridge to Mainz-Kastel and Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof.

Bischofsheim station is served by the Mittelrhein-Main-Express RE 2 service running between Koblenz Hauptbahnhof and Frankfurt every two hours. It is also served by RB 75 service between Wiesbaden and Aschaffenburg, running hourly.

The Circustheater (AFAS Circustheater) is a musical theatre in The Hague, owned and operated by Stage Entertainment.

History 
The theatre dates back to 1904, when it was designed by Wilhelmus Barnardus van Liefland and was built to house Circus Schumann during the summer season. When the publics interest in the circus declined, the theatre was transformed in 1964 to a regular theater to house concerts among others. Over the following decades the theatre started to deteriorate. Joop van den Ende, Stardust B.V. and Xelat Recrea B.V. acquired the theatre from the municipality of The Hague for the symbolic amount of ƒ 1,-. The consortium invested ƒ 25 million and transformed the site into the first open-end musical theatre of The Netherlands, the new theatre was designed by architect Meijs. The theatre is currently owned and operated by Stage Entertainment, the international live-entertainment company founded by Joop van den Ende.

Sponsorship
The theatre has had a sponsor since the re-opening in 1991. This started with VSB from 1991 till 2004, when VSB merged with Fortis changing the name into Fortis Circustheater. When the bank went under during the financial crisis the sponsorship stopped in 2010. In 2011 a new sponsor was found in AFAS, resulting in the current name of the complex.

In mathematics, a sequence transformation is an operator acting on a given space of sequences (a sequence space). Sequence transformations include linear mappings such as convolution with another sequence, and resummation of a sequence and, more generally, are commonly used for series acceleration, that is, for improving the rate of convergence of a slowly convergent sequence or series. Sequence transformations are also commonly used to compute the  antilimit of a divergent series numerically, and are used in conjunction with extrapolation methods.

Overview
Classical examples for sequence transformations include the binomial transform, Möbius transform, Stirling transform and others.

Definitions
For a given sequence 

the transformed sequence is 

where the members of the transformed sequence are usually computed from some finite number of members of the original sequence, i.e.

for some  which often depends on  (cf. e.g. Binomial transform). In the simplest case, the  and the  are real or complex numbers. More generally, they may be elements of some vector space or algebra. 

In the context of acceleration of convergence, the transformed sequence is said to converge faster than the original sequence if 

  

where  is the limit of , assumed to be convergent. In this case, convergence acceleration is obtained. If the original sequence is divergent, the sequence transformation acts as extrapolation method to the antilimit .

If the mapping  is linear in each of its arguments, i.e., for

 

for some constants  (which may depend on n), the sequence transformation   is called a linear sequence transformation. Sequence transformations that are not linear are called nonlinear sequence transformations.

Examples
Simplest examples of (linear) sequence transformations include shifting all elements,  (resp. = 0 if n + k < 0) for a fixed k, and scalar multiplication of the sequence.

A less trivial example would be the discrete convolution with a fixed sequence. A particularly basic form is the difference operator, which is convolution with the sequence  and is a discrete analog of the derivative. The binomial transform is another linear transformation of a still more general type.

An example of a nonlinear sequence transformation is Aitken's delta-squared process, used to improve the rate of convergence of a slowly convergent sequence. An extended form of this is the Shanks transformation. The Möbius transform is also a nonlinear transformation, only possible for integer sequences.

is a small island in Ise Bay, offshore Toba, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The island is known as the birthplace of cultured pearl aquaculture.

The island is owned by , which operates the island as a tourist attraction, exhibiting pearls and pearl craft goods, and holding shows featuring ama divers.

History 

In 1893, Mikimoto Kōkichi, a local entrepreneur, succeeded in producing cultured pearls on an island in Ise Bay called . In 1919, the island was sold by the town of Toba to Teikoku Kisen Shipping Company but was purchased back by Toba in 1927. It was resold to Mikimoto Kōkichi in 1929, with the funds used to establish an elementary school. Mikimoto developed the island as a center for pearl production.

In 1951, Mikimoto renamed it Mikimoto Pearl Island and set up a company to develop it for tourism. A commemorative museum of the life of Mikimoto was established in 1958 and a Pearl Museum in 1962. A bridge connecting the island to the mainland was completed in 1970.

The Pearl Museum was rebuilt in 1985 and the Mikimoto Museum in 1993.

Facilities

Pearl Museum 
The Pearl Museum contains various artifacts and replicas of items made with pearls. Highlights of the museum's collection include:
, an obidome for a kimono that was exhibited at Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in 1937.

Stephen Zachary Day (born June 15, 1978) is a former right-handed sinker-ball pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for two teams from 2002 to 2006.

Career history
Day graduated from La Salle High School in Cincinnati in 1996, where he played basketball, baseball and golf and was prep player of the year in Cincinnati in 1995. He went on to attend the University of Cincinnati, studying pre-business. Drafted in the fifth round in 1996 by the New York Yankees after his senior year in high school, he was traded to the Cleveland Indians in July .

2002
Day made his major league debut for the Montreal Expos in 2002.  His debut was on his birthday, and he was credited the win.  He was the first pitcher to achieve that combination (birthday, debut, win) since at least 1901, possibly ever.  He finished 2002 at 4–1 with a 3.62 ERA in 19 games. He also had 1 save. His one save came on September 26, 2002, during an Expos 4–3 victory over the Marlins. Day pitched the final three innings in perfect fashion (0 runs, 0 hits, 5 strikeouts) to nail down the win for starting pitcher Tony Armas Jr..

2003
Day pitched a career high 23 starts, going 9–8. He led the majors in wild pitches with 13. He was initially named NL Rookie of the Month in April, but the award was revoked and given to Hee-seop Choi due to Day having reached the rookie limit of service days in 2002.

2004
Day's 2004 season was cut short due to injury. He made 19 starts, having a respectable 3.93 ERA despite going 5-10 for the defunct Montreal Expos.

2005
Day managed to pitch in 12 games for the Nationals before being traded to Colorado.

He was 0–1 in 5 games for the Rockies.

2006
Day began the season with the Rockies but was designated for assignment after posting an ERA of 10.80 in 3 starts.

After being claimed off waivers by the Nationals, Day was looking to bounce back to his former self. However, after five appearances, Day was placed on the 60-day DL on May 23 for right shoulder tendinitis and underwent rotator cuff surgery on June 6, ending his  season. The Nationals released Day on October 3, 2006, ending his second stint on the MLB team where he first enjoyed success.

2007
On December 20, 2006, he signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals. He spent the year playing for the Triple-A Omaha Royals, starting nine games and relieving in two more. Day became a free agent at the end of the season.

2008
On January 11, 2008, Day signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins, but was released in early May having made 6 appearances for the Fort Myers Miracle. After his release, he announced his retirement due to continuing shoulder problems.
