Nicholas Kurti

Nicholas Kurti,  () (14 May 1908 – 24 November 1998) was a Hungarian-born British physicist who lived in Oxford, UK, for most of his life.

Career
Born in Budapest, Kurti went to high school at the Minta Gymnasium, but due to anti-Jewish laws he had to leave the country, gaining his master's degree at the Sorbonne in Paris. He obtained his doctorate in low-temperature physics in Berlin, working with Professor Franz Simon. Kurti and Simon continued to work together during 1931–1933 at the Technische Hochschule in Breslau. However, when Adolf Hitler rose to power, both Simon and Kurti left Germany, joining the Clarendon Laboratory in the University of Oxford, England.

During World War II, Kurti worked on the Manhattan project, returning to Oxford in 1945. In 1955 he won the Fernand Holweck Medal and Prize. In 1956, Simon and Kurti built a laboratory experiment that reached a temperature of one microkelvin. This work attracted worldwide attention, and Kurti was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He later became the society's Vice-President from 1965 to 1967.

Kurti became a Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford, in 1947 and became Professor of Physics at Oxford in 1967, a post he held until his retirement in 1975. He was also Visiting Professor at City College in New York City, the University of California, Berkeley, and Amherst College in Massachusetts.

Nicholas Kurti was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1956, becoming vice-president in 1965, and was appointed as a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1973.

Personal life
Kurti's hobby was cooking, and he was an enthusiastic advocate of applying scientific knowledge to culinary problems, a field known today as gastrophysics.  In 1969 he gave a talk at the Royal Institution titled "The physicist in the kitchen", in which he amazed the audience by using the recently invented microwave oven to make a "reverse Baked Alaska" — a Frozen Florida — hot liquor enclosed by a shell of frozen meringue. Over the years he organized several international workshops in Erice, Italy on "Molecular and Physical Gastronomy."

Code 18

Code_18, est un jeu vidéo de type visual novel  développé et édité par Cyberfront, sorti en 2011 sur PlayStation Portable et Xbox 360 puis sur Windows. Il est le redémarrage de la série .

Système de jeu 

Comme le reste de la série , Code_18 est un , on suit une histoire, tout en admirant les images et les animations des personnages. Un fond musical accompagne le tout. Les voix des personnages sont également présentes.

Les interactions du joueur se limitent donc à faire des choix, cliquer pour lire le texte suivant, ou faire défiler les images et les sons. L'option de défilement automatique réduit presque les interactions du joueur à zéro ; seul la sélection de choix demande une interaction du joueur quand ce mode est actif.

Le jeu possède plusieurs histoires (appelées routes). À certains moments, le joueur se voit donc proposer un choix qui influencera l'histoire, la faisant évoluer dans une direction ou une autre.

Au contraire de la plupart des jeux de la série, le jeu ne peut se jouer que d'un seul point de vue, celui de Hayato Hino.

Peck (unidad de medida)

Un peck es una unidad de volumen seco imperial, equivalente a 2 galones secos u 8 cuartos de galón secos o 16 pintas secas. Un peck imperial equivale a 9,09 litros y un peck estadounidense equivale a 8,81 litros. Dos peck hacen un imperial, y cuatro peck hacen un bushel. Aunque el uso del peck ya no está muy extendido, algunos productos, como las manzanas, se siguen vendiendo por peck en EE.UU.

En Escocia, se utilizó como medida seca hasta la introducción de las unidades imperiales como resultado de la "Ley de Pesos y Medidas de 1824". Equivalía a unos 9 litros (1,98 Imp gal) (en el caso de ciertos cultivos, como el trigo, los guisantes, las judías y la harina) y a unos 13 litros (2,86 Imp gal) (en el caso de la cebada, la avena y la malta).

Nebettawy

Nebettawy (nb.t-t3.wỉ; "Lady of the Two Lands") was an ancient Egyptian princess and queen, the fifth daughter and one of the eight Great Royal Wives of Pharaoh Ramesses II.

Life

Nebettawy may have been the daughter of Ramesses' wife, Nefertari, but this is by no means certain. She is shown in the greater Abu Simbel temple. On the second southern colossus in front of the temple Nebettawy is depicted in the regalia of a queen. Nebettawy shown with a cap wig, a fairly simple modius and the double plumes. Bint-Anat (also dressed as a queen) stands by the left leg of the second southern colossus, Nebettawy by the right leg, and princess Isetnofret II stands in front of the colossus.

Nebettawy appears as the fifth princess in a parade of royal daughters as depicted in the great temple at Abu Simbel. She appears behind Bintanath,Baketmut, Nefertari, and Meritamen. The princesses are shown carrying a sistrum.

Nebettawy is not shown on the smaller temple of Abu Simbel. Nefertari is shown with Meritamen and Henuttawy on the facade of this temple.

After Bintanath and Meritamen, she was the third of Ramesses' daughters to become her father's wife (possibly after the death of Meritamen). Nebettawy served as Great Royal Wife while her father entered the diplomatic marriage with Maathorneferure, the daughter of the Hittite king Hattusilis III, in year 33. Nebettawy and her half-sister Bintanath fulfilled the ritual role of that of the queen of Egypt. She held the titles Lady of the Two Lands (nb.t-t3.wỉ), Great Royal Wife (ḥm.t-nsw wr.t), Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt (ḥnw.t šmˁw mḥw), King’s Daughter (s3.t-nsw), King’s Daughter of his body, his beloved (s3.t-nsw n.t ẖt=f mrỉỉ.t=f).

Death and burial
She was buried in the tomb QV60. The tomb was robbed already in antiquity and was later used as a Christian chapel. In one of the scenes in the tomb, Nebettawy wears a rather special headdress: a vulture crown with uraeus, topped by a modius and supporting a number of flowers. This specific headdress is only attested for Queen Nebettawy, Queen Iset Ta-Hemdjert (QV51), and Queen Tyti (QV52). It is not known what the precise meaning of this piece of regalia was. An earlier version of this crown was worn by Princess-Queen Sitamun, the daughter-wife of Amenhotep III. Hence it could be a reference to her position as Princess-Queen.

Парламентские выборы на Сент-Люсии (2006)

Парламентские выборы на Сент-Люсии проходили 11 декабря 2006 года. Выборы закончились победой Объединённой рабочей партии под руководством Джона Комптона. ОРП получила 11 из 17 мест Палаты собрания, Джон Комптон стал премьер-министром.

Предвыборная ситуация 
На двух предыдущих выборах 1997 и 2001 годов Лейбористская партия одерживала победы, причём на выборах 2001 года она получила 14 мест парламента, тогда как у Объединённой рабочей партии оказалось всего 3.

Однако в 2005 году Джон Комптон вернулся в политику и вновь стал лидером Объединённой рабочей партии. Комптон в своё время в 1979 году привёл Сент-Люсию к независимости и был её премьер-министром с 1982 года до 1996 года, когда ушёл на пенсию. Комптон победил Вогана Льюиса на партийных выборах и возглавил партию. Льюис позже перешёл к лейбористам и на выборах 2006 года выступал на их стороне.

На довыборах в столице страны Кастри в марте 2006 года, которые рассматривались как начало основной предвыборной кампании для последующих декабрьских выборов, победу одержал независимый кандидат Ричард Фредерик. Он занял место, которое ранее в течение последних двух выборов оставалось за Лейбористской партией. Позже Фредерик вошёл в Объединённую рабочую партию и выступал на декабрьских выборов на её стороне.

Результаты 
Объединённая рабочая партия одержала победу, получив 11 мест парламента из 17. Хотя партия получила большинство мест, она набрала лишь на 2 тыс. голосов больше, чем Лейбористская партия. После выборов 81-летний Джон Комптон сменил лейбориста Кенни Энтони на посту премьер-министра.

Las sirenas de Titán

Las sirenas de Titán es el nombre de una novela de ciencia ficción escrita por Kurt Vonnegut en 1959, en plena Edad de Oro de la Ciencia ficción.

Argumento
«Ahora todos saben cómo encontrar el sentido de la vida dentro de uno mismo. Pero la humanidad no siempre fue tan afortunada. Hace menos de un siglo los hombres y las mujeres no tenían fácil acceso a las cajas de rompecabezas que llevan dentro.»

Así comienza Las sirenas de Titán. Lejos del estilo pulp habitual en la ciencia ficción de la época, esta novela difiere en estilo y en objetivo, con una mirada crítica e irónica del mundo del dinero y de la religión, así como de reflexión sobre la falta de libre albedrío, o al menos de la incapacidad del ser humano de decidir su futuro haciendo uso del razonamiento y dominando los impulsos reflejos que condicionan sus actos. Vonnegut plantea también una crítica a la sociedad por seguir sin reflexión a los líderes de turno y su perseverancia en autodestruirse.

La novela está organizada alrededor de varios relatos independientes entrelazados, lo que aumenta la sensación de intemporalidad, adecuada al argumento del viaje en el tiempo y acentuando el mensaje de que todo está unido y relacionado. Vonnegut ofrece una visión pesimista donde la historia de la Humanidad es manipulada por una civilización extraterrestre proveniente del planeta Tralfamadore, con el único propósito de hacer llegar un repuesto para la averiada nave de uno de sus emisarios, Salo, quien se ve obligado a aterrizar en Titán, la luna de Saturno en la remota prehistoria. 

Los acontecimientos históricos se suceden de manera que en el , el multimillonario Winston Niles Rumfoord, junto a su perro Kazak, caen con su nave espacial privada en una singularidad espaciotemporal denominada "infundibulum crono-sinclástico". Ese lugar del espacio está curvado hacia todos los lugares posibles del tiempo y del espacio, por lo que Rumfoord tiene la capacidad de estar siempre en todos los lugares, y ver el pasado y el futuro con claridad, una especie de semidiós. Así, Rumfoord llega a crear una religión: la "Iglesia del Dios Indiferente", donde él mismo es el máximo profeta del único Dios verdadero. A lo largo de la novela la esposa de Rumfoord, Beatrice, el millonario Malachi Constant y el hijo de estos dos, Crono, son forzados a vivir múltiples acontecimientos en contra de su voluntad, siendo protagonistas, por ejemplo, de la invasión de la Tierra por la Armada Marciana, organizada por el propio Rumfoord, los que tienen como único objetivo hacer llegar a Salo la pieza de repuesto. 

La crítica visión que tiene Vonnegut del Universo es expuesta con un ácido sentido del humor, característico de este autor.

KLTC

KLTC (1460 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an Information/classic country format serving Western and Southwestern North Dakota, Southeastern Montana and Northwestern South Dakota and Northeast Wyoming from Dickinson, North Dakota. The station is currently owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.

KLTC is an NBC News Radio affiliate and airs news at the top of the hour 24 hours a day.  KLTC airs the Dakota News Network for North Dakota News and The PJ sports show weekday mornings at 7:40. KLTC is also a Minnesota Twins Baseball affiliate and a Minnesota Vikings Football affiliate. KLTC also airs North Dakota State Boson football.

History
KLTC began broadcasting on July 4, 1978 at 12 Noon, at that time there was only one radio station broadcasting 18 hours a day with a Top 40/AC format in Dickinson ND and signed off at midnight.  The nearest receivable radio stations in the daytime were Baker, Montana, Bismarck, North Dakota, Lemmon, South Dakota, and Williston, North Dakota at night reception of these radio station were limited at best. Roughrider Broadcasting Company decided that Dickinson and Southwestern North Dakota needed a radio station that broadcast 24 hours a day hence KLTC was born. KLTC Radio was the First 5,000 Watt station west of the Missouri River in North Dakota. KLTC has been formatted with country music ever since, except for a brief period in 2004 when KLTC was formatted oldies. KLTC was originally owned by Roughrider Broadcasting until 1998, when Roberts Radio bought the properties and in 2001 Clear Channel Communications acquired KLTC along with sister stations KCAD and KZRX . KLTC stands for Keep Lovin' Thy Country. KLTC Radio is proud to have Paul Quinn who is a radio legend in Southwest North Dakota and has been broadcasting on KLTC since March 1979. Paul had worked every shift on KLTC starting with overnights and is now the morning host. Big Country To Boot was the Original slogan when KLTC Signed on and now in its 36th year The Boot is Back...the slogan has returned to what it was back in 1978.

M32p

M32p is a hypothesized former galaxy that was incorporated into the Andromeda Galaxy. It was a sister galaxy to the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, previously the third or fourth largest galaxy in the Local Group, and was merged into the larger Andromeda Galaxy an estimated 2 billion years ago. The merger is thought to have created the thick disc and contributed the majority of the halo stars of Andromeda and caused its burst of star formation at the time of the merger. The former galaxy may be associated with the Andromeda satellite galaxy Messier 32 (M32), which may be the remains of its dense core. M32's unusual characteristics of dense compactness and burst of star formation 2 billion years ago would be explained by this theory as a remnant of an earlier large galaxy, given its unlikeness to other similarly sized elliptical galaxies.

It was described in 2018 by scientists at the University of Michigan. It is thought to have had the stellar mass of around 2.5×1010 M☉.

Mantanani scops owl

The Mantanani scops owl (Otus mantananensis),  is a small owl in the scops-owl genus Otus found on small islands between Borneo and the Philippines. It is listed by the IUCN as "near threatened" because its range is limited with its population being fragmented on several different islands, and its forest habitat is being degraded by ongoing logging and clearance.

Description and Taxonomy 

This owl is about 18 cm long, with a wing length of about 15.5 cm. It has a buff facial disk with a narrow, dark border. It has dark brown upperparts with pale markings on the scapulars, and pale underparts with dark streaks and barring.  It has yellow irides, grey feet and bill, and feathered tarsi.

This owl hunts at the forest edge or in clearings, feeding mainly on insects. It is thought to breed from March to May with its eggs being laid in a tree hollow. The voice has been described as a simple waa and a goose-like honk, with a descending series of short was during territorial disputes. The female's voice is lower and harsher than that of the male.

Subspecies 
Four subspecies are recognized:

 O. m. romblonis- Found in Romblon, Tablas Island, Semirara Island, Sibuyan Island, Tres Reyes and Banton.
 O. m. cuyensis - Found in Dicabaito, Linapacan and surrounding islands in the southern Calamian Islands
 O. m. sibutuensis - Found in the Sibutu Islands and Tumindao
 O. m. mantanensis - Found in the surrounding islands of southern Palawan,

Habitat and Conservation Status
The Mantanani scops owl is endemic to small islands between the Malaysian state of Sabah in northern Borneo, such as the Mantanani group after which the species gets its common name, and the Philippines island of Palawan, including Calamien, Rasa and Ursula, as well as islands in the Sulu Archipelago and the central Philippines.  It is fairly common in coconut groves and other wooded habitats, such as stands of Casuarina equisetifolia, though the total range size is small and estimated to be less than .

The Mantanani scops owl is considered to be near threatened because it is confined to increasingly disturbed and degraded habitats within a small range.  The BirdLife population estimate for the species over its entire range is 6,000 to 15,000 individuals and decreasing.  Estimates for the population on Mantanani Island are for at least 100 birds.

Cover-over subsidies

Cover-over subsidies are annual payments from the U.S. government to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico out of federal excise taxes.  For example, when a bottle of rum is produced in either the Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, and then sold in the United States, the federal excise tax on that bottle is returned to its place of production.  Cover-over subsidies for U.S. island territories began in 1917. In 2008, the taxes generated about $371 million for Puerto Rico and $100 million for the Virgin Islands.

In April 2009, Puerto Rico's congressional representative, Pedro Pierluisi, introduced a bill prohibiting territories from using more than 10 percent of their cover-over receipts for industry specific subsidies.  This was as a result of increased competition to source distillery production between Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Cénotaphe de Dante Alighieri

Le cénotaphe de Dante Alighieri est un monument funéraire dédié à sa mémoire ; il est  situé sur le côté droit  de la nef de la basilique Santa Croce de Florence, entre la deuxième et la troisième travée,  près d'autres monuments funéraires dédiés aux grands hommes toscans (Michel-Ange, Galilée, Machiavel...).

Initialement prévu comme tombeau pour accueillir ses ossements, il devint un simple cénotaphe, Ravenne qui avait accueilli le poète après son exil de Florence n'ayant jamais accepté que ses restes reviennent dans la ville toscane, qui offre, malgré tout, l'huile pour la lampe du tombeau à Ravenne, chaque année.

Histoire 
Malgré plusieurs projets pour ce monument (entre autres celui de Pietro Lombardo), il faut attendre le  pour que le projet aboutisse à l'occasion de l'approche du sixième centenaire de l'anniversaire de sa naissance.

On  doit  le monument final de 1802 à Luigi de Cambray Digny (1778-1843) et les sculptures, datant de 1830, à  Stefano Ricci (1765-1837).

Description 
Dante est représenté assis, en haut du monument, pensif, le torse nu enveloppé d'une cape,  la tête couverte et couronnée de lauriers ;  plus bas sur le côté droit d'un sarcophage (qui ne contient pas ses ossements restés à Ravenne), la figure allégorique de la Poésie effondrée,  pleure sur sa disparition, un livre ouvert, une couronne à la main. Une autre figure symbolique, celle de l'Italie, se tient sur la côté gauche, en Cybèle (reconnaissable à sa coiffure en forme de ville fortifiée) debout tenant la hampe d'un étendard, portant également une étoile au-dessus de son casque, rappelant l'intention des villes italiennes pour le monument (dédicace du piédestal).

Les piédestaux des deux allégories portent, sous des couronnes de lauriers en bronze,  mentions des dates et des associations promotrices du monument (l'association nationale des villes italiennes à gauche, l'association Studium Dantis à droite).

Sous la statue de Dante, posée sur un grand piédestal, figure l'inscription en lettres dorées :
   ONORATE L'ALTISSIMO POETA 
Sur le panneau avant de marbre veiné figure une dédicace :
 
  DANTI ALIGHERIO TUSCI  HONORARIUM - TVMVLVM A MAIORIBVS-TER-FRVSTRA-DECRETVMANNO-M-DCCC-XXIX.FELICITER-EXCITARVNT

Michel Picot

Michel-Joseph-Pierre Picot, né à Neuville-aux-Bois, le , et mort le , est un journaliste et homme de lettres français.

Biographie 

Michel-Joseph-Pierre Picot est naît de Pierre Picot (1737-1818), notaire royal, procureur au bailliage et maire de Neuville-aux-Bois, et de Marie Thérèse Amyot. Confié pour son éducation à un oncle, l'abbé Michel-Alphonse Picot oratorien et chanoine de la collégiale du Saint-Sépulcre de Caen, il entre au Grand séminaire d'Orléans, reçoit la tonsure cléricale de  de Cheylus et suit ses études de théologie à Orléans. 

Cependant, au moment de la Révolution, refusant de prêter le serment à la Constitution civile du clergé, il quitte la voie ecclésiastique. Il fait la connaissance de l'abbé Edgeworth au château de Montigny, chez le comte de Rochechouart.

Il s'engage un temps dans la Marine.

En 1806, il lui est confié l'éducation des enfants du prince de Beauvau. Il devient également le collaborateur d'Étienne-Antoine de Boulogne pour son journal Mélanges de religion, de critique et de littérature, dont il reprend bientôt la rédaction, puis de Biographie universelle ancienne et moderne.

Spécialiste de l'histoire de la religion, il fonde le journal L'Ami de la religion et du roi : journal ecclésiastique, politique et littéraire en 1814, qu'il dirige jusqu'en 1840.

Membre du conseil de l'Œuvre de la Propagation de la Foi quasiment depuis sa création, il en devient le vice-président et l'animateur zélé à Paris.

Il était commandeur de l'ordre de Saint-Grégoire-le-Grand (1840), chevalier de l'ordre de la Milice dorée (1835) et de l'ordre du Saint-Sépulcre (1840).

Clase Victory

La clase Victory fue una serie de buques de carga producidos en grandes cantidades en los Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial al objeto de reemplazar las pérdidas de este tipo de buques causados por los submarinos alemanes. Basados en el diseño de su antecesor, el Liberty, 534 buques Victory fueron construidos. La mayoría contaba con armamento para repeler submarinos y ataques aéreos.

Construcción 

El primer buque fue el SS United Victory, construido por la Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation el 12 de enero de 1944 y terminado el 28 de febrero de ese mismo año. Los barcos americanos incorporaron a sus nombres "Victory", mientras que los británicos y canadienses Fort y Park respectivamente. Después del buque United Victory, las siguientes 34 embarcaciones llevaron el nombre de países aliados, los siguientes 218 nombres de ciudades de Estados Unidos, los siguientes 150 con el nombre de instituciones educativas y al resto se les nombró de distinta manera. 

Aunque la construcción fue al principio lenta (sólo se habían entregado 15 para mayo de 1944), hacia el final de la guerra se contabilizaron 531 embarcaciones construidas.

Ya que la guerra en el Atlántico había finalizado cuando estos buques aparecieron, por lo que sólo dos fueron hundidos en estas aguas pero, tres barcos más fueron hundidos durante la batalla en el Océano Pacífico por ataques kamikaze en abril de 1945: el Logan Victory, el Hobbs Victory y el Canada Victory.

Después de la guerra 
Finalizada la guerra la mayoría fueron reconvertidos y dispuestos para distintas actividades y organismos como la NASA, el SS Kingsport Victory fue renombrado como USNS Kingsport siendo el primer buque de comunicación satelital del mundo.

Solo se conservan 3 buques, todos como buque museo:
SS American Victory (Tampa, Florida)
SS Lane Victory (Los Ángeles, California)
SS Red Oak Victory (Richmond, California)

Political career 
Matthew Barber was first elected to Vale of White Horse District Council on 1 May 2003 as Councillor for the Faringdon & The Coxwells Ward. Whilst the Conservatives were in opposition he became Group Whip and subsequently opposition finance spokesman. In 2004 he was elected unopposed to Faringdon Town Council.
