Flutto-class submarine

The Flutto class were a large class of submarines built for the Italian Royal Navy (Regia Marina) during the Second World War. The Fluttos were a development of the 600 Series of medium-sized, or seagoing, submarines. They were built to a partial double-hulled Bernardis design, influenced by war-time experience and construction adapted for mass construction. The Fluttos were good sea-boats with improved internal arrangements, hull strength, anti-aircraft armament and diving times. They are regarded as the best medium-displacement submarines built by Italy up to that time. A total of 48 submarines were ordered, in three series (referred to as "Types"). The name Flutto means “wave”, and the Type I vessels were named for marine terms and sea-creatures. The Type II and Type III vessels all bore names of metals.

Damanhur

Damanhur (Arabic: دمنهور Damanhūr, IPA: [dɑmɑnˈhuːɾ]; Egyptian: Dmỉ-n-Ḥr.w; Coptic: ⲡϯⲙⲓⲛ̀ϩⲱⲣ Ptīminhōr; pronounced [ptəmənhoːr]; Ancient Greek: Ἑρμοῦ πόλις μικρά Hermopolis Mikra) is a city in Lower Egypt, and the capital of the Beheira Governorate. It is located 160 km (99 mi) northwest of Cairo, and 70 km (43 mi) E.S.E. of Alexandria, in the middle of the western Nile Delta. In ancient Egypt, the city was the capital of Lower Egypt's 7th Nome of A-ment. It stood on the banks of a canal which connected the lake Mareotis with the Canopic or most westerly arm of the Nile. The city was dedicated to the Ancient Egyptian god Horus. In Greek and Roman times, it was called Hermopolis Mikra or Hermopolis Parva, which would also give it an association with Hermes, the Egyptian Thoth. As Hermopolis, the city attracted the notice of numerous ancient geographers, including Stephanus of Byzantium s. v., Strabo (xvii. p. 802), Ptolemy (iv. 5. § 46), and the author of the Antonine Itinerary (p. 154). It is a Roman Catholic titular see. In 1799, the city revolted against the French, who cruelly crushed the rebels, killing 1,500. In 1986, the population of Damanhur was 188,939. The richly cultivated Beheira province gives rise to mainly agricultural industries which include cotton ginning, potato processing, and date picking. It also has a market for cotton and rice. Ahmed H. Zewail, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1999, was born in Damanhur in 1946.

The Finding of Moses

The Finding of Moses is a 1580 oil on canvas painting by Paolo Veronese of the finding of Moses, which has been in the Musee des Beaux Arts de Dijon since 1812. Its attribution to Veronese is early, with Lépicié stating it was "painted by the artist at the height of his powers", though Louis Clément de Ris argued it was a copy in 1861. It is now thought to be largely autograph with studio assistance as argued by Florence Ingersoll-Smouse in 1928, Bernard Berenson in 1932 and 1936 (though in 1957-1958 he changed his mind and argued it was a studio work) and Giuseppe Fiocco in 1934. It was acquired by the Duc de Créquy either from the painter Pierre Mignard's collection or with Mignard as an intermediary for the Lesdiguières family. In July or August 1687 it was bought from the Duc de Créquy's wife by Louis XIV to hang at the Palace of Versailles along with a Domenichino of Madonna and St Anthony of Padua with Children for a total of 5243 livres, 6 sous and 8 deniers. It is recorded by Paillet at Versailles in 1695 and by another source as being in the Château de Meudon early in the 18th century, where it still hung in 1706. Dezallier d'Argenville recorded it among the Veroneses in the French royal collection in both 1745 and 1762.Among the other versions of the subject by Veronese and his studio (at least eight survive), the work is closest to the Dresden variant, though it also draws.

flecainide

Flecainide is a medication used to prevent and treat abnormally fast heart rates. This includes ventricular and supraventricular tachycardias. Its use is only recommended in those with dangerous arrhythmias or when significant symptoms cannot be managed with other treatments. Its use does not decrease a person's risk of death. It is taken by mouth or injection into a vein.Common side effects include dizziness, problems seeing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and tiredness. Serious side effects may include cardiac arrest, arrhythmias, and heart failure. It may be used in pregnancy, but has not been well studied in this population. Use is not recommended in those with structural heart disease or ischemic heart disease. Flecainide is a class Ic antiarrhythmic agent. It works by decreasing the entry of sodium in heart cells, causing prolongation of the cardiac action potential.Flecainide was approved for medical use in the United States in 1985. It is available as a generic medication. In 2019, it was the 215th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 2 million prescriptions.

United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races

The United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races (FULRO; French: Front unifié de lutte des races opprimées, Vietnamese: Mặt trận Thống nhất Đấu tranh của các Sắc tộc bị Áp bức) was an organization whose objective was autonomy for the Degar tribes in Vietnam. Initially a political movement, after 1969 it evolved into a fragmented guerrilla group that carried on simultaneous insurgencies against the governments of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) under Presidents Ngo Diem and Nguyen van Thieu and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) of Ho Chi Minh. Opposed to all forms of Vietnamese rule, FULRO fought against both sides in the Vietnam War (also known as the Second Indochina Civil War, 1961-1975) of the Viet Cong (National Liberation Front of South Vietnam) - communists and also against the American allied Army of the Republic of Vietnam (A.R.V.N. / South Vietnamese Army) at the same time. FULRO's primary supporter during the 1960s and early 70s conflict in Southeast Asia was the Kingdom of Cambodia (under former monarch and then head of state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk), with some aid sent by Mao Tse-tung's People's Republic of China (Communist or occasionally then known as "Red China"). The movement dissolved almost two decades later in 1992, when the last group of 407 FULRO fighters and their families handed in their weapons to the United Nations peacekeepers in Cambodia.

Tyto inexspectata

The Minahassa masked owl (Tyto inexspectata), also known as the Minahassa barn owl, Sulawesi owl or Sulawesi golden owl, is a barn owl endemic to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The name is derived from the Minahassa Peninsula, where it was first described as a breeding bird; however, it is also known to live in north-central Sulawesi.The Minahassa masked owl has short wings with a wingspan of 240–250 mm well suited to its habitat in deep forests. It appears to prefer undisturbed or lightly disturbed rainforest at altitudes of 100–1,600 m. As the primary lowland forests on the Minahasa peninsula has been destroyed, the survival of the species depends on the more inaccessible montane forests. The species is known to inhabit the two large protected regions (Bogani Nani Wartabone and Lore Lindu National Parks) established in central Sulawesi and Minahassa Peninsula. The remaining population is estimated to be 2,500–10,000.

Loudspeaker acoustics

Loudspeaker acoustics is a subfield of acoustical engineering concerned with the reproduction of sound and the parameters involved in doing so in actual equipment. Engineers measure the performance of drivers and complete speaker systems to characterize their behavior, often in an anechoic chamber, outdoors, or using time windowed measurement systems -- all to avoid including room effects (e.g., reverberation) in the measurements. Designers use models (from electrical filter theory) to predict the performance of drive units in different enclosures, now almost always based on the work of A N Thiele and Richard Small. Important driver characteristics are: Frequency response Off-axis response (dispersion pattern, lobing) Sensitivity (dB SPL for 1 watt input) Maximum power handling Non-linear distortion Colouration (i.e., more or less, delayed resonance).It is the performance of a loudspeaker/listening room combination that really matters, as the two interact in multiple ways. There are two approaches to high-quality reproduction. One ensures the listening room be reasonably 'alive' with reverberant sound at all frequencies, in which case the speakers should ideally have equal dispersion at all frequencies in order to equally excite the reverberant fields created by reflections off room surfaces. The other attempts to arrange the listening room to be 'dead' acoustically, leaving indirect sound to the dispersion of the speakers need only be sufficient to cover the listening positions. A dead or inert acoustic may be best, especially if properly filled with 'surround' reproduction, so that the reverberant field of the original space is reproduced realistically. This is currently quite hard to achieve, and so ideal.

The subscription based project was a way for fans to access to the band's entire catalog of music (live and studio), videos, photos, blogs and other exclusive material. In turn the band would donate a percentage of its proceeds to various charities and causes. The model would encourage fans to be making more of a donation and difference rather than just purchasing a CD. In 2009, the band released their second album Tree Trunk Airplanes, a rocking and moodier effort, and resumed a healthy touring schedule over the next two years. While touring the country, they shared the stage with the likes of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Keller Williams, The Avett Brothers, and local bluegrass boys Oakhurst, just to name a few. The band traveled to Charlottesville, Virginia in April 2010 to begin the recording process for their third independent release. They spent ten days holed up in an old cabin (circa 1750), writing and recording what ultimately became a full-length album, Don't Forget To Remember. The first four singles were released in March 2012 - "The Odds of Waking Up," "Sister, Brother," "Sand & Stone," and "September.".

Before emigrating to the United States, Nicollet was a professor of mathematics at Collège Louis-le-Grand, and a professor and astronomer at the Paris Observatory with Pierre-Simon Laplace. Political and academic changes in France led Nicollet to travel to the United States to do work that would bolster his reputation among academics in Europe. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1842.Nicollet's maps were among the most accurate of the time, correcting errors made by Zebulon Pike, and they provided the basis for all subsequent maps of the American interior. They were also among the first to depict elevation by hachuring and the only maps to use regional Native American placenames. Nicollet's Map of the Hydrographical Basin of the Upper Mississippi was published in 1843, following his death.
