Flashes per minute

Flashes per minute (FPM) is simply the number of times a flashing light blinks per minute. Police and emergency vehicles use warning lights with flashing rates that typically fall in a range from 60 to 240 FPM. In North America, grade crossing signals have a flashing rate ranging between 45 and 65 FPM with the ideal rate being 60 FPM.

Persons with photosensitive epilepsy may suffer a seizure in response to a specific flashing frequency, e.g. 420 FPM, but the exact triggering frequency varies across individuals. To minimize the likelihood of an epileptogenic response, flashing rates above 300 FPM (5 Hz) should be avoided (Harding and Jeavons, 1994).

For conversion purposes, 60 FPM = 1 Hz (i.e. a frequency of one per second).

The Country Boy (play)

The Country Boy: A Play in Three Acts is a play by Irish playwright, John Murphy (1924–1998).  Himself a country boy and native of Charlestown, County Mayo who emigrated to the United States of America, The Country Boy reflects on the social problems of emigration and rural life in the late 1950s.

The Country Boy is a comedy-drama set in the small Irish farmhouse of the Maher family, inhabitants of County Mayo.  It tells the story of Curly, 25, who still lives at home with his parents, Tom and Mary Kate.  But Curly dreams of following his older brother Eddie to the U.S. in pursuit of success, even if it means leaving his sweetheart, Eileen Tierney.  Only upon Eddie's first return home (with wife, Julia) on vacation, are truths revealed of hardship, alcoholism, a troubled marriage, homesickness, and regrets.

John Murphy died in May 1998 and was buried on the slopes of Nephin Mountain in Co. Mayo, a place the character of Tom Maher made reference to in the play. He was laid to rest as Eileen's song, "Down By the Salley Gardens," was sung by the graveside.

Production
The Ulster Group Theatre company performed the first production of The Country Boy in April 1959 at the Group Theatre in Belfast.

Johnson Creek (Texas)

Johnson Creek is a creek and tributary of the Trinity River watershed in Dallas County and Tarrant County, North Texas.

The creek may be named after Middleton Tate Johnson, who settled in the area in the early 1840s.

Course
Johnson Creek rises near Interstate 20 in eastern Tarrant County and runs northeasterly for  to the West Fork of the Trinity River in Grand Prairie, within Dallas County.

The creek flows through the cities of Arlington and Grand Prairie and is generally completely bounded by development.  Notably it flows through the Six Flags Over Texas theme park and beside both Globe Life Field and Globe Life Park (a wide spot on the north side of the ballpark is named Mark Holtz Lake in memory of the former baseball announcer), while a tributary flows along the southern edge of The University of Texas at Arlington.

Ecology
In areas where development has not been substantial, native honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), mustang grape (Vitis mustangensis), American Elm (Ulmus americana), hackberry (Celtis laevigata), oak (Quercus spp.), pecan (Carya illinoinensis), and eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) can be found growing along the riparian zone of the creek's banks.

White Horse, Dark Dragon

White Horse, Dark Dragon is a novel written in the style of magical realism by Robert C. Fleet, a political satire-adventure. Although the book was held up for publication for contractual reasons, it was finally published by Putnam/Berkley/Ace in 1993.

Plot summary 
The action takes place in a fictional Central European country, Karistan, where the beautiful Alta lives with her young blind daughter Jewel. Jewel has a friend in the form of an enigmatic white horse.  Soon they meet an American visitor named Jim Martin, who has been sent to Karistan to prove that a new investment is not going to harm the environment in Karistan.

Background 
The book is described by The Science Fiction Chronicle as "an interesting juxtaposition of fantasy and modern politics," and has become something of a cult novel due to its dry political humor satirizing late-era Communism and U.S. corporate boardrooms - mixed with action, historical romance and nuanced characters.

Film adaptation 
Legend of the White Horse (also known as Biały smok) is a 1987 Polish-American adventure movie for kids that is based on the novel, but altered significantly to tone down the satire elements.

Woodrow (automobile)

The Woodrow was a British cyclecar manufactured in Stockport from 1913 to 1915. 

The 1913 cars were powered by a choice of water or air-cooled V twin engine of 964 cc made by JAP, with a three-speed gearbox and chain drive to a back axle that was unusually, for cyclecars of the time, fitted with a differential). 

In 1914 or possibly 1915 the engine was replaced by a larger 'Precision' V twin, water-cooled only, of 1090 cc made by F. E. Baker Ltd. 

A sports version was also made with a very long tapered bonnet. The cars were quite large by cyclecar standards, with a width of 48 inches (1219 mm) and length of 130 inches (3302 mm).

The Naïve and Sentimental Lover

The Naïve and Sentimental Lover is John le Carré's sixth novel and his only non-genre (spy) novel.

Background and plot
The novel follows Aldo Cassidy, a young entrepreneur. As the Penguin Random House webpage summarizes, Aldo soon meets a "writer whose first and only novel blazoned across the firmament twenty years earlier. The two develop a passionate friendship that draws Aldo—smitten also with his new friend’s luscious wife—into a life of reckless hedonism that threatens to consume them all." The story has autobiographical elements, as it is based on the author's relationship with James and Susan Kennaway following the breakdown of le Carré's first marriage. The novel was published in the year of his divorce from Alison Sharp, his first wife.

Reception and legacy
Upon its release, the novel was poorly reviewed by critics  The New York Times book review felt that by abandoning the spy novel, le Carre was not playing to his strengths. They wrote that "it isn't that le Carre is out of his depth here, or that he has lost his way with apposite atmospherics and scene‐settings; it isn't that his prose has surrendered its characteristic irony and tough precision. It is rather that he has chosen to relinquish his fundamental perception, to unhand the lever that lifted his tales—the truth that in this world of gray little men, gray little men shake the world." In an interview in 1983, le Carre reflected on the novel's poor reception and how he responded in his career. He told The New York Times: "I thought, they [the negative reviewers] were right. And if you can do one thing well, stick with it." After the failure of this novel, he returned to the spy genre and his most famous character George Smiley with the acclaimed Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and subsequent sequels in The Quest for Karla trilogy.

Edøy

Edøy is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.  The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1960. It was located in the southern and central parts of the present-day Smøla Municipality.  The old municipality originally encompassed all the islands surrounding the Edøyfjorden.  This included the islands of Smøla, Tustna, Stabblandet, and the many smaller islands between the larger ones.  The island of Edøya lies between the two and that was the center of the old municipality.  Over time, parts of Edøy were split off to form other municipalities. At the time it was dissolved, Edøy municipality was .  The Old Edøy Church and later the (new) Edøy Church were the main churches for the municipality.

History
The parish of Edø (later spelled Edøy) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). A royal resolution of 3 May 1873 directed that the southern Tustern parish be removed from Edøy to create the new municipality of Tustern effective on 1 January 1874. This left Edøy with 2,166 inhabitants. On 1 January 1915, the municipality was divided into three.  The northeastern district (population: 1,050) was separated to become Hopen Municipality and the northwestern area (population: 1,462) became the new Brattvær Municipality. This split left Edøy with a population of 973.  During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1960, the 1915 partition was reversed, reuniting the municipalities Brattvær, Edøy, and Hopen as the new municipality of Smøla. Prior to the merger, Edøy had a population of 1,135.

In 2019, archaeologists from the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research using large-scale high-resolution georadar technology, determined that a 17 meter long Viking ship was buried near the Edøy Church. Traces of a small settlement were also found. They estimate the ship's age as over 1,000 years: from the Merovingian or Viking period. The group planned to conduct additional searches in the area. A similar burial was found previously by NIKU archaeologists in 2018, in Gjellestad.

The municipality of Moster was established on 1 July 1916 when the old municipality of Finnås was split into the three new municipalities: Moster (population: 1,316), Bømlo (population: 1,217), and Bremnes (population: 3,411). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1963, the three municipalities of Moster (population: 1,834), Bømlo (population: 1,463), and Bremnes (population: 4,829) were merged into a new, larger Bømlo Municipality.

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the island of Moster () since the first Moster Church was built there. The meaning of the first element is uncertain. It may come from the word  which means "mossy swamp", likely because the island is marshy. It could also come from the word  which means "pleased" or "large amount", possibly referring to the fact that the island is very hilly. Another possibility is that it comes from the word  which means "mane".

Government
During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Moster was made up of 17 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:

Finnås

Finnås is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county, Norway. The  municipality, which existed from 1838 until 1916, was located in the traditional district of Sunnhordland. Originally, the municipality encompassed all of the island of Bømlo, the small surrounding islands, and the mainland located south of the Bømlafjorden. It was located in the present-day municipalities of Bømlo and Sveio.

The Kulleseid Canal is a canal that was built in the 1800s on a small isthmus on the island of Bømlo.  It enabled boats to journey between the east and west sides of Bømlo island. Today the channel is surrounded by a small trading center and tourist center, and it is a popular guest harbor.

History
The parish of Findaas was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1865, the southern mainland district of Findaas (population: 2,237) and the Vikebygd area of the neighboring municipality of Fjelberg (population: 1,062) were merged to form the new municipality of Sveen. On 1 January 1868, a small part of Finnaas (population: 10) was transferred to the neighboring municipality of Fitje. On 1 April 1870, the Øklandsgrend area (population: 247) was transferred from Finnaas to the neighboring municipality of Stord. The spelling of the name changed slightly over time from Findaas to Finnaas and then finally to Finnås.

On 1 July 1916, the municipality of Finnås was split to create three new (smaller) municipalities:
Bremnes (population: 3,411), the  northern/western half of the island of Bømlo and smaller surrounding islands
Moster (population: 1,316), the  southeastern peninsula on the island of Bømlo, the island of Moster, and the smaller surrounding islands
Bømmel (population: 1,217), the  southwestern peninsula on the island of Bømlo and smaller surrounding islands (later renamed Bømlo).

On 1 January 1963, the three municipalities were merged into a new, larger Bømlo Municipality.

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Finnaas farm since the Old Moster Church was built there. The name is relative new name with very little historical record. The first element is  which is the local name for a type of grass known as Nardus stricta. The last element is  which means "hill". Thus it means a hill with "finn" grass.

John Doucett

John Doucett (Doucette) (died November 19, 1726) was probably of French descent although he did not speak the language and was likely born in England. He was a career military man and, from 1702 on, received several promotions.

He was appointed lieutenant-governor of Annapolis Royal in May, 1717 and arrived in Nova Scotia in October. He was also acting on behalf of Richard Philipps, the new governor of Nova Scotia who was still in England. He administered the government there from 1717 to 1720 and was lieutenant-governor of Annapolis Royal, N.S. from 1717 to 1726. He was active and visible in both capacities, working to improve relations between the British and French colonists, to minimize smuggling and fisheries encroachment, and to secure a lasting peace between the various Indian chiefs and the government. He had some noteworthy successes, particularly securing a ratified peace with the First Nations at the close of Dummer's War.

Upsilon1 Cassiopeiae

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Upsilon1 Cassiopeiae}}

Upsilon1 Cassiopeiae (υ1 Cassiopeiae) is an astrometric binary star system in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It is  visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.93 mas as seen from Earth, this system is located about 330 light years from the Sun.

The visible component is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2 III. With an estimated age of 4.75 billion years, it is a red clump star that is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core. The measured angular diameter, after correction for limb darkening, is . At the estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of about 21 times the radius of the Sun. It has 1.39 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 174 times the Sun's luminosity from its expanded photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,422 K.

There is a magnitude 12.50 visual companion at an angular separation of 17.80 arc seconds along a position angle of 61°, as of 2003. A more distant magnitude 12.89 companion lies at a separation of 93.30 arc seconds along a position angle of 125°, as measured in 2003. Neither star appears to be physically associated with υ1 Cas.
