National Task Force on AIDS Prevention

The National Task Force on AIDS Prevention (NTFAP) was founded in 1985 as a "National Minority Organization dedicated to ending the HIV epidemic by advocating for and assisting in the development of HIV education and service programs by and for gay and bisexual men of color." The NTFAP was created to provide support to gay men of color who did not identify with prevailing HIV/AIDS programs and education campaigns, which mainly targeted white gay men. The importance of the NTFAP began to emerge in the 1980s when the rate of infection in communities of color was rapidly increasing compared to white communities. The goals of the task force have been to guarantee the local gay men were targeted by HIV/AIDS preventive services. The NTFAP aimed to create culturally relevant propaganda that would help slow the rate of infection in communities of color. While the work done by the NTFAP stayed in the local San Francisco area, the intent of the organization was to set an example for the nation to follow in creating preventive services that crossed ethnic and cultural lines.

1892 United Kingdom general election

The 1892 United Kingdom general election was held from 4 to 26 July 1892. It saw the Conservatives, led by Lord Salisbury again win the greatest number of seats, but no longer a majority as William Ewart Gladstone's Liberals won 80 more seats than in the 1886 general election. The Liberal Unionists who had previously supported the Conservative government saw their vote and seat numbers go down. Despite being split between Parnellite and anti-Parnellite factions, the Irish Nationalist vote held up well. As the Liberals did not have a majority on their own, Salisbury refused to resign on hearing the election results and waited to be defeated in a vote of no confidence on 11 August. Gladstone formed a minority government dependent on Irish Nationalist support. The Liberals had engaged in failed attempts at reunification between 1886 and 1887. Gladstone however was able to retain control of much of the Liberal party machinery, particularly the National Liberal Federation. Gladstone used the annual NLF meetings as a platform to consolidate various Liberal causes, particularly the Newcastle meeting of 1891, which gave its name to the radical Newcastle Programme. This programme placed Irish Home Rule first, followed by Welsh and Scottish disestablishment, reduction in factory work hours, free education, electoral reform, land reform, reform or abolition of the House of Lords, and the removal of duties on basic foods. This programme would later be disowned by the party leadership following the Liberal defeat in the 1895 election (Haigh 1990, p. 259).

change of variables

In mathematics, a change of variables is a basic technique used to simplify problems in which the original variables are replaced with functions of other variables. The intent is that when expressed in new variables, the problem may become simpler, or equivalent to a better understood problem. Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. However these are different operations, as can be seen when considering differentiation (chain rule) or integration (integration by substitution). A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial: x 6 − 9 x 3 + 8 = 0. {\displaystyle x^{6}-9x^{3}+8=0.} Sixth-degree polynomial equations are generally impossible to solve in terms of radicals (see Abel–Ruffini theorem). This particular equation, however, may be written ( x 3 ) 2 − 9 ( x 3 ) + 8 = 0 {\displaystyle (x^{3})^{2}-9(x^{3})+8=0} (this is a simple case of a polynomial decomposition). Thus the equation may be simplified by defining a new variable u = x 3 {\displaystyle u=x^{3}} . Substituting x by u 3 {\displaystyle {\sqrt[{3}]{u}}} into the polynomial gives u 2 − 9 u + 8 = 0 , {\displaystyle u^{2}-9u+8=0,} which is just a quadratic equation with the two solutions: u = 1 and u = 8. {\displaystyle u=1\quad {\text{and}}\quad u=8.} The solutions in terms of the original variable are obtained by substituting x3 back in for u, which gives x 3 = 1 and x 3 = 8. {\displaystyle x^{3}=1\quad {\text{and}}\quad x^{3}=8.} Then, assuming.

He was educated at Harrow School, before matriculating at Exeter College, Oxford in 1835, where he graduated B.A. in 1838, and M.A. in 1843. While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1839. Batting twice in the match, Faithfull was dismissed for a single run in the Oxford first-innings by John Bayley, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 8 runs by Henry Walker.After graduating from Oxford, Faithfull took holy orders in the Church of England. His first ecclesiastical posting was chaplain to the Marquess of Salisbury in 1842. He became the vicar of North Mymms in Hertfordshire for twelve years from 1844. From 1856, he spent two years as the vicar of Clothall, Hertfordshire before holding the post of vicar of Cheshunt from 1858 to 1871. His final post was as rector of St Dunstan-in-the-East in London from 1871 until his death in March 1873. His brother, Valentine, also played first-class cricket.

Dafni, Aetolia-Acarnania

Dafni is a village and a community in the municipality of Nafpaktia, Aetolia-Acarnania, Greece. The community consists of the villages Dafni (also Ano Dafni), Kato Dafni (the largest village of the community) and Trypou, now uninhabited. During the centuries of Ottoman occupation, Dafni was located higher up in the hills in an area called now Old Dafni (Paliodafni); of that settlement only the foundations of a few houses survive. The name Dafni means laurel. It comes either from the laurel plant that is indigenous to the area or from small plants called also dafni that grow in abundance on the banks of the nearby river Mornos (its alternative but rarely used name is Dafnos). The settlement of Kato Dafni began in the early 20th century and before World War II it had less than 20 houses. Now it is a thriving and rapidly growing part of Nafpaktos. Its landmarks are the impressive St Paraskevi Cathedral, the construction of which is still ongoing, and the Mornos river bridge with its five arches, constructed in 1939 as part of Greece's preparation for the war. The river is now mostly dry; its water is used for farm irrigation but most of it is diverted to the municipal water supply of Athens. Dafni in general and Kato Dafni in particular, have a rich cultural history. Many locals, most of them retired, gather at its roadside cafes to analyze geopolitical issues and world affairs. Politics and international events receive daily scrutiny by people keeping abreast through radio, television and newspapers. Financial.

Lars Hasvold

Øistein Lars Hasvold (1908 – 1964) was a Norwegian organizational director. He was a member of Fedrelandslaget in the 1930s, and was its secretary-general from 1938 to the disestablishment in 1940. The disestablishment followed the German occupation of Norway, and in January 1942 Hasvold joined the only legal party in the country, the Fascist party Nasjonal Samling (NS). Already from the autumn of 1941 he had been a close contact of NS politician Alf Whist. Hasvold was instated as director of Norges Handelsforbund on 1 January 1943, then of Norges Næringssamband on 1 May 1943. Norges Næringssamband was an employers' association in which Whist was co-founder and president. Whist and Hasvold used it as a vehicle for political power, but also to outline technological visions for a future Fascist Norway.The German occupation ended on 8 May 1945, and Hasvold promptly lost his job. As a part of the legal purge in Norway after World War II, in 1948 he was sentenced to four years of forced labour. He died in 1964.
