Brodhead Creek

Brodhead Creek is a  tributary of the Delaware River in the Poconos of eastern Pennsylvania in the United States.

It is formed by the union of the Middle and Leavitt branches in Barrett Township in Monroe County. The native name was "Analomink." The present name was given for Daniel Brodhead, a prominent early settler. It receives McMichael Creek as it flows south and east into the Delaware River.

The stream flows south, separating the boroughs of Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg. It covers a basin of 294 sq mi and its maximum discharge was 68,800 cubic feet per second, in 1955.

Brodhead Creek joins the Delaware River at the head of the Delaware Water Gap.

From 1888 to 1944, a coal gasification plant operated at the confluence of Brodhead and McMichael Creeks in Stroudsburg. The operations produced coal tar waste which contaminated the groundwater.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the site on the Superfund National Priorities List in 1983. After cleanup, operations and monitoring activities are ongoing.  The EPA removed the site from the National Priorities List in 2001.

Krøyer's deep sea angler fish

Krøyer's deep sea angler fish (Ceratias holboelli) is a species of fish in the family Ceratiidae, the sea devils. This deep-sea anglerfish is found in all oceans, at depths of , but mainly between . Females typically are  long, but can reach . The much smaller males only reach  and they are symbiotic, as they attach themselves to a female.

The species' scientific epithet commemorates Carl Peter Holbøll, a Danish civil servant and early explorer of the fauna of Greenland. Several specimens have been found in the stomachs of sperm whales caught in the Azores and in the Antarctic.

Other common names include longray seadevil and northern seadevil.

V382 Carinae

V382 Carinae, also known as x Carinae (x Car), is a yellow hypergiant in the constellation Carina.  It is a G-type star with a mean apparent magnitude of +3.93, and a variable star of low amplitude.

Variability

The radial velocity of V382 Carinae has long been known to be variable, but variations in its brightness were unclear.  Brightness variations were detected by some observers, but others found it to be constant.  It was formally named as a variable star in 1981, listed in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars as a possible δ Cephei variable.  It has been described as a pseudo-Cepheid, a supergiant with pulsations similar to a Cepheid but less regular.

Analysis of Hipparcos photometry showed clear variation with a maximum range of 0.12 magnitudes and the star was treated as an α Cygni variable.  A period of 556 days was suggested, but it is not entirely consistent.  It is now generally treated as a semiregular or irregular supergiant.

Properties

V382 Car is the brightest yellow hypergiant in the night sky, easily visible to the naked eye and brighter than Rho Cassiopeiae although not visible from much of the northern hemisphere.  It is 6,200 light years from Earth and around 500 times the radius of the Sun. The large size means that V382 Car is over 200,000 times as luminous as the sun. The low infrared excess suggest that V382 Carinae may be cooling towards a red supergiant phase, less common than yellow hypergiants evolving towards hotter temperatures.

Chris Farasopoulos

Chris Farasopoulos (born July 20, 1949) is a former American football player, Brigham Young alumnus and retired Business Executive.

After being titled "The Galloping Greek" by the ‘’Arizona Republic while playing football at Brigham Young University , Farasopoulos turned down a professional baseball contract with the Baltimore Orioles, choosing instead to accept a full and guaranteed football scholarship from Brigham Young University.

In kind with the social and ethnic tensions of the late 1960s, there was some controversy regarding Farasopoulos's decision to refuse the contract offer when it became known that he had also been asked to abbreviate his typically long Greek last name. He is remembered for saying, "It is what it is." 

Best known for his agility and speed at BYU, Farasopoulos played defensive back as well as punt and kickoff return. In 1968, he set a Western Athletic Conference record for average yards returned per kickoff at 27.2, a record that stood until Chad Owens's 29.4 average yards per return years later.

After selecting John Riggins and John Mooring in the first and second rounds of the 1971 NFL Draft, the New York Jets chose Farasopoulos in the third round with the 58th pick overall. During his rookie season, he began a lasting friendship with teammates Riggins and Burgess Owens . All three were known for the spirit they contributed to the New York Jets team. Later in his career Farasopoulos played for the New Orleans Saints.

Farasopoulos holds a BS in human performance from Brigham Young University and spent 13 years at Integrated Device Technology Inc. in various operations management positions both at IDT's Technology Center and IDT's Static RAM Division in Salinas, California. Before joining IDT, Farasopoulos held management positions at VLSI Technology Inc. and National Semiconductor. Most recently Farasopoulos was responsible for customer operations and business development as vice president with QuickSil of Fremont, California.

Farasopoulos is the only son of Vasilios Farasopoulos and Theodora Farasopoulos. Farasopoulos is married, has three daughters (two of whom are twins) and lives with his family in California.

I Carinae is a single, yellow-white hued star in the southern constellation Carina. It is a fourth magnitude star that is visible to the naked eye. An annual parallax shift of 61.64 mas provides a distance estimate of 62 light years. It is moving closer with a radial velocity of −5 km/s, and in an estimated 2.7 million years will pass within  of the Sun. In the next 7500 years, the south Celestial pole will pass close to this star and Omega Carinae (5800 CE).

Gray et al. (2006) gave this star a stellar classification of F3 V, indicating it is an F-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It is younger than the Sun with an estimated age of 977 million years, and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 51.6 km/s. The star has 1.4 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 5.56 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 7,017 K. It is a variable star and most likely (99.2% chance) the source of detected X-ray emission coming from these coordinates.

Howard Griffith

Howard Griffith (born November 17, 1968) is a former American football fullback who spent 11 seasons in the NFL (1991–2001). While at the University of Illinois, Griffith set the NCAA record for touchdowns in a game with eight. It occurred on September 22, 1990, against Southern Illinois University in a 56–21 Illinois win.  Raised in Chicago, Griffith attended now defunct Mendel Catholic Prep High School of the Chicago Catholic League until his sophomore year. For his junior year, he transferred to Julian High School, where he was an All-City performer.

Biography
Griffith was drafted in the ninth round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, but never played a regular-season game for the Colts. Griffith made his NFL debut with the Los Angeles Rams in 1993.  He played two seasons with the Rams, and then played two seasons with the Carolina Panthers after being selected in the 1995 NFL Expansion Draft.

In 1997, Griffith joined the Denver Broncos, and played five seasons for the Broncos primarily as a blocking back for Terrell Davis.  He didn't get very many rushing attempts, but was often used as a receiver out of the backfield, recording  27 receptions in 1996 and 26 in 1999.  With the Broncos, Griffith won two Super Bowl rings in Super Bowl XXXII and Super Bowl XXXIII.  Griffith was a big contributor in the Broncos Super Bowl XXXIII win, scoring two rushing touchdowns in the game.  He also made a key 23-yard reception in the final quarter of Super Bowl XXXII, setting up Denver's final touchdown of the game.  While playing for the Broncos, Howard earned the nickname "The Human Plow" due to his successful blocking for Davis.

Griffith retired from the NFL at the start of the 2002 season, due to a neck injury sustained in the 2001 preseason that caused him to miss the entire 2001 campaign.  His final totals over his 11 NFL seasons include 351 rushing yards and three touchdowns, along with 122 receptions for 844 yards and nine touchdowns.

Today, Griffith works as a football analyst. He is one of the lead in-studio analysts for the Big Ten Network, giving his weekly analysis of Big 10 football. In 2005, he was an analyst for the NFL and NFL Europe football leagues, as he commentated games that were broadcast by Fox and the NFL Networks.  He is the author of the 2001 book Laying it on the Line.

His son Houston committed to Notre Dame in 2018.

Carr–Burdette College

Carr–Burdette College was a private women's college located in Sherman, Texas that operated from 1894 to 1929.

Affiliated with the Disciples of Christ, the school was founded in 1894 by Mattie F. (Myers) Carr, wife of preacher Oliver Anderson Carr, after they had both returned from a mission trip to Australia.  Mattie Carr financed the construction of the main building by sale 250 lots at $200 each in Sherman.  The school opened in September of that year and Mattie Carr successfully ran the school until her death in 1908, and Mr. Carr carried on as president until his death in 1913.  The school was then run by the local churches of the Disciples of Christ.  In 1914 Carlton College, itself founded in Fannin County, Texas in 1866, merged into Carr–Burdette College.  By 1929 declining enrollment and troubled finances led the school to close.  Ten years later, in April 1939, the property was sold and the two brick buildings were razed.

Misericorde (weapon)

A misericorde ( or ) (from French word  'mercy') was a long, narrow knife, used from the High Middle Ages to deliver the death stroke (the mercy stroke, hence the name of the blade, derived from the Latin , "act of mercy") to a seriously wounded knight. The blade was thin enough to strike through the gaps between armour plates.

This weapon was used to dispatch knights who had received mortal wounds, which were not always quickly fatal in the age of bladed combat; it could also be used as a means of killing an active adversary, as during a grappling struggle. The blade could be pushed through the visor or eye holes in the helm with the aim of piercing the brain, or thrust through holes or weak points in plate armor, such as under the arm, with the aim of piercing the heart.  The weapon was known from the 12th century and has appeared in the armaments of Germany, Persia, and England. It was also used by Polish knights and/or princes from at least the 14th century.

The Man Who Walked Through Time

The Man Who Walked Through Time (1968) is Colin Fletcher's chronicle of the first person to walk a continuous route through Grand Canyon National Park. The book is credited with "introducing an increasingly nature-hungry public to the spiritual and physical rewards of backpacking".

When Fletcher conducted the trip in 1963, the park did not encompass the entire length of the canyon; it was later expanded so it did. Fletcher thus only walked about half of the physical canyon, though he was correct in saying he was the first to walk the section of the canyon designated as a national park. Kenton Grua, a professional river guide, was the first person in recorded history to walk the entire length of the Grand Canyon, in 1977. He was inspired by Fletcher's book but set out to "do it right" by walking the canyon from end to end, not just the section inside the park.

EMD F69PHAC

The EMD F69PHAC was an experimental locomotive built in 1989 in a joint venture between EMD and Siemens. It was designed to test AC locomotive technology. Only two examples of this locomotive were made. The engine used the same carbody as the EMD F40PHM-2, with just a few spotting differences.

They were built for the United States Department of Transportation and loaned to Amtrak in 1990, sporting Phase III paint. They were returned to EMD and later used with the German ICE train demonstration that was on loan to Amtrak in 1992–1993. They were repainted in ICE paint. The two F69PHAC locomotives were again returned to EMD, where they were finally retired in 1999. Both of the locomotives still exist in a scrap yard, more specifically National Railway Equipment, in Mount Vernon, Illinois, stripped of numerous parts.

Zinc nitrate

Zinc nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula . This colorless, crystalline salt is highly deliquescent. It is typically encountered as a hexahydrate . It is soluble in both water and alcohol.

Synthesis
Zinc nitrate is usually prepared by dissolving zinc metal, zinc oxide, or related materials in nitric acid:

These reactions are accompanied by the hydration of the zinc nitrate.

The anhydrous salt arises by the reaction of anhydrous zinc chloride with nitrogen dioxide:

Reactions
Treatment of zinc nitrate with acetic anhydride gives zinc acetate. 

On heating, zinc nitrate undergoes thermal decomposition to form zinc oxide, nitrogen dioxide and Oxygen:

Applications
Zinc nitrate has no large scale application but is used on a laboratory scale for the synthesis of coordination polymers. Its controlled decomposition to zinc oxide has also been used for the generation of various ZnO based structures, including nanowires.

It can be used as a mordant in dyeing. An example reaction gives a precipitate of zinc carbonate:

Coordinated flight

In aviation, coordinated flight of an aircraft is flight without sideslip.  

When an aircraft is flying with zero sideslip a turn and bank indicator installed on the aircraft's instrument panel usually shows the ball in the center of the spirit level. The occupants perceive no lateral acceleration of the aircraft and their weight to be acting straight downward into their seats. 

Particular care to maintain coordinated flight is required by the pilot when entering and leaving turns.

Advantages
Coordinated flight is usually preferred over uncoordinated flight for the following reasons:

it minimises the drag force on the aircraft

Instrumentation
Airplanes and helicopters are usually equipped with a turn and bank indicator to provide their pilots with a continuous display of the lateral balance of their aircraft so the pilots can ensure coordinated flight.

Glider pilots attach a piece of coloured string to the outside of the canopy to sense the sideslip angle and assist in maintaining coordinated flight.

Axes of rotation

An airplane has three axes of rotation:  
Pitch – in which the nose of the airplane moves up or down. This is typically controlled by the elevator at the rear of the airplane.
Yaw – in which the nose of the airplane moves left or right. This is typically controlled by the rudder at the rear of the airplane.
Roll (bank) – in which one wing of the airplane moves up and the other moves down. This is typically controlled by ailerons on the wings of the airplane.

Coordinated flight requires the pilot to use pitch, roll and yaw control simultaneously. See also flight dynamics.

Coordinating the turn
If the pilot were to use only the rudder to initiate a turn in the air, the airplane would tend to "skid" to the outside of the turn. 

If the pilot were to use only the ailerons to initiate a turn in the air, the airplane would tend to "slip" toward the lower wing.

If the pilot were to fail to use the elevator to increase the angle of attack throughout the turn, the airplane would also tend to "slip" toward the lower wing.

However, if the pilot makes appropriate use of the rudder, ailerons and elevator to enter and leave the turn such that sideslip and lateral acceleration are zero the airplane will be in coordinated flight.

Wally Karbo

Walter Joseph Karbo (August 14, 1915 – March 23, 1993) was an American professional wrestling promoter and co-founder of the American Wrestling Association with Verne Gagne.

Early life 
The son of Polish immigrants, Karbo graduated from De La Salle High School in 1934 and was offered a basketball scholarship to the University of Notre Dame, but declined to go.

Career 
Karbo had a brief spell in boxing for promoter Pinkie George, which caught the attention of fellow wrestling promoter Tony Stecher in the 1930s. Initially working for Stecher as an assistant, he eventually became a referee, officiating 8,000 matches in his early 20s. After this, Karbo evolved into a promoter, attending the first meeting of the National Wrestling Alliance held by Stecher in 1948.

In 1952, Tony Stecher sold a one-third interest in the Minneapolis Boxing and Wrestling club to Wally Karbo and his son Dennis Stecher. After Tony's death in 1954, control of the promotion was passed to Dennis and Karbo. In 1959, Dennis sold his majority stake in the Minneapolis Boxing and Wrestling club to Karbo and Gagne, becoming co-owners of the promotion from that point onward. Breaking away from the National Wrestling Alliance, he and Gagne established the AWA in 1960 and together operated the promotion for over thirty years. 

Karbo would also appear as an on-air personality, hosting the AWA's Saturday morning television show All-Star Wrestling before Karbo sold his interests to Gagne in 1985. Although retiring soon after, he did remain in professional wrestling, appearing as the commissioner of the Ladies Pro Wrestling Association.

Death 
On March 23, 1993, Karbo suffered a heart attack while eating lunch with a friend in Bloomington, Minnesota. He was taken to the Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina, where he was pronounced dead at the age of 77. His funeral took place six days later, with Nick Bockwinkel delivering the eulogy.

Roscommon (Dáil constituency)

Roscommon was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1923 to 1969 and from 1981 to 1992. The method of election was proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries 
The constituency has had two separate periods of existence:
from the 1923 general election until its abolition at the 1969 general election, when it was amalgamated into the Roscommon–Leitrim constituency, which in turn existed until the 1981 general election. At different periods it returned 4, 3 or 4 TDs. It comprised the administrative county of Roscommon.
as a 3-seat constituency from the 1981 general election until its abolition at the 1992 general election to be replaced by the 4-seat constituency of Longford–Roscommon. It comprised the administrative county of Roscommon; and, in the administrative county of Galway, the district electoral divisions of: Ballinastack, Ballymoe, Ballynakill, Boyounagh, Creggs, Island, Kilcroan, Templetogher, Toberroe, in the former Rural District of Glennamaddy.

For the 2007 general election, the county was represented by the new Roscommon–South Leitrim constituency.

V343 Carinae

V343 Carinae is a blue-white star or star system in the southern constellation of Carina. It has the Bayer designation d Carinae, while V343 Carinae is a variable star designation. The star is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.31. The distance to this object is approximately 1,440 light years based on parallax. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +13 km/s.

This star was originally thought to be a Beta Cephei variable and a suspected eclipsing binary with an orbital period of 133.92 days. It is now considered as probably constant. Measurements indicate that at most it is a microvariable star with an amplitude of 0.0041 in visual magnitude and a period of 0.42029 cycles per day. Eggleton and Tokovinin (2008) catalogued this as a single star, albeit with some uncertainty. However, Chini et al. (2012) listed it as a single-lined spectroscopic binary system.

The visible component of V343 Carinae has a stellar classification of B1.5III, matching a massive blue giant. It has 12.5 times the mass of the Sun and is an estimated 16 million years old. The star is radiating 6,323 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 27,600 K. It has a visual magnitude 13.3 companion at an angular separation of  along a position angle of 339°, as of 2010.

Baiheliang

Baiheliang () is a rock outcrop in Fuling District, Chongqing, People's Republic of China, that parallels the flow of the Yangtze River.

In the past, Baiheliang served as an ancient device for measuring water levels of the Yangtze in China, the equivalent of a hydrometric station. The horizontal rock ledge, 1.6 km long and ten to fifteen metres wide, lay submerged under water most of the year, showing its upper face above water only during the low-water season of winter and early spring. The eyes of fish carved on the stone indicate the lowest water levels of the Yangtze River, which made the site a precious hydrographic marker. Baiheliang has been submerged to a depth of over 30 metres behind the Three Gorges Dam.

Engraved in the rock are 163 inscriptions and pictures, which include 114 hydrological annotations, which give detailed records of water levels in the river over 1,200 years, since the first year of the Tang dynasty Guangde era, 763; the assembled inscriptions and fish carvings, taken together, formed the longest such sequence in the world. One fish carving originally carved in the Tang dynasty was re-carved at a moment of lowest water in 1685: modern measurements recorded the elevation of their eyes, 137.91 metres, almost the same as that of the zero point of the modern water level gauge.

The fish carvings and hydrological inscriptions were virtually unknown in the West until the 1970s, when Chinese experts presented photos of these two fish and hydrological data of Fuling for the past 1,200 years at an international hydrological symposium held in the UK.

The best-known of the fish carvings was a 2.8-metre carp, carved from a section of freestone. Hundreds of poetical homages to the place were inscribed in rock faces, which have disappeared beneath the rising waters as the dam has been completed. In 2003, Xinhua News Agency, the People's Republic's official press agency, headlined the on-line story, June 10, "Accident-maker reef no longer threatens Yangtze navigation".

The inscriptions on the "White Crane Ridge" are on display in the Baiheliang Underwater Museum, which opened to the public on May 18, 2009. Some carvings are also on display in the Three Gorges Museum in the city centre of Chongqing.
