National Sports Centre (Sport England)

There are three National Sports Centres as part of Sport England's strategy to create elite English world class sporting talent:  
 Bisham Abbey 
 Lilleshall
 Plas y Brenin
 
Each centre provides elite athletes with a range of specialist facilities, equipment, expertise and residential accommodation suitable for training and competition. The centres also offer full facilities for the general public including conferencing and banqueting, as well as beginners and improvers programmes in most of the activities that take place at each site.

Former centres were located at Crystal Palace and Holme Pierrepont.

Knee pad

Knee pads or kneepads are protective gear worn on knees to protect them against impact injury from falling to the ground or hitting an obstacle, or to provide padding for extended kneeling.Their primary purpose is to shield this vulnerable joint from potential impact injuries that may occur due to accidental falls, collisions with objects, or striking obstacles. By providing a cushioning barrier between the knees and the ground or other hard surfaces, knee pads help minimize the risk of severe damage or trauma.

Use

Sports

Knee pads are worn in many recreational and sporting activities such as cycling, rollerskating, skateboarding, cricket, volleyball, handball, basketball, gridiron football, polo, dancing, etc. In polo, knee pads serve primarily to protect the rider's knee when "riding off" an opponent.

Work 
Work that requires frequent or constant kneeling, including carpet installation, plumbing, tilling, and mechanic work will normally require hard, rugged knee pads with hard shells. If work requires less or occasional kneeling, then a lighter, softer and more flexible knee pad can be used to increase comfort.

Trades and military use
Knee pads are also used in various trades such as for the home handyman, for the police SWAT teams, and they are also incorporated into military uniforms such as the Army Combat Uniform and the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform. These knee pads are generally designed differently than the general all round high impact knee pads made for sports.

Babies 
The padding of the baby knee pads should be soft because the baby knee is the soft part of the body. The padding foam should be soft and ultra-durable. Knee pads should be in proper fitting according to baby knees.

Trivor

Trivor () is one of the high mountain peaks of the Hispar Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram range in the Shimshal Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan. Its height is often given as , but this elevation is not consistent with photographic evidence. The height given here is from a Russian 1:100,000 topographic map.

There have been only two successful climbs of this peak; the first ascent was in 1960 by a British–American party.

The Post War Dream (song)

"The Post War Dream" is the opening track on The Final Cut, an album by the English progressive rock band, Pink Floyd.

Intro
The song's intro features a car radio being tuned in and out of different stations and can be seen on the short film for 'The Final Cut'.

"...a group of business men announced plans to build a nuclear fallout shelter at Peterborough in Cambridgeshire..."
[radio tuning] 
"...three high court judges have cleared the way..."
[radio tuning]
"...It was announced today, that the replacement for the Atlantic Conveyor the container ship lost in the Falklands conflict would be built in Japan, a spokesman for..."
[radio tuning] 
"...moving in. They say the third world countries, like Bolivia, which produce the drug are suffering from rising violence..."

Composition
The song is 3 minutes in length and consists of many sound effects, such as row boats and screaming, typical of the album on which it was released. The music itself begins quietly with harmonium and Waters' hushed vocal, in addition to the sounds of certain orchestral instruments. This segues into a louder, more theatrical section dominated by electric guitars. During this particular section, Waters vocal is shouted, a definite contrast from his manner of singing during the previous part of the song.

The melody of the first part bears a strong resemblance to John Prine's 1971 song "Sam Stone", about a war veteran's tragic fate.  Both songs share the same chord progression, instrumentation, and melody.  They are even in the same key (F Major).

Stenocara gracilipes

Stenocara gracilipes is a species of beetle that is native to the Namib Desert in southern Africa. This is one of the most arid areas of the world, receiving only  of rain per year.  The beetle is able to survive by collecting water on its bumpy back surface from early morning fogs.

To drink water, the S. gracilipes stands on a small ridge of sand using its long, spindly legs. Facing into the breeze, with its body angled at 45°, the beetle catches fog droplets on its hardened wings. Its head faces upwind, and its stiff, bumpy outer wings are spread against the damp breeze. Minute water droplets (15-20 µm in diameter) from the fog gather on its wings; there the droplets stick to hydrophilic (water-loving) bumps, which are surrounded by waxy, hydrophobic troughs. Droplets flatten as they make contact with the hydrophilic surfaces, preventing them from being blown by wind and providing a surface for other droplets to attach.  Accumulation continues until the combined droplet weight overcomes the water's electrostatic attraction to the bumps as well as any opposing force of the wind; in a 30 km/h breeze, such a droplet would stick to the wing until it grows to roughly 5 mm in diameter; at that point it will roll down the beetle's back to its mouthparts.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have emulated this capability by creating a textured surface that combines alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials. Potential uses include extracting moisture from the air and creating fog-free windows and mirrors.  A company called NBD Nano is attempting to commercialize the technology.

Lately, it has been shown that these beetles may also obtain water from dew (i.e. from humid air without fog).

Shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's stationary target small-bore rifle

The  men's stationary target small-bore rifle, also referred to as the miniature rifle competition, was one of 15 events on the Shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme.  Regulation of the equipment used in the event was done through proscribing ammunition weighing more than 140 grains, with a velocity of more than 1,450 feet per second, or having a hard metal base. Magnifying and telescopic sights were prohibited. Each shooter fired 80 shots, half at 50 yards and half at 100 yards.  Maximum score for a shot was 5 points, giving a maximum total possible of 400 points.

Twelve competitors from each nation were allowed to take part.  Because of a delay in the arrival of Barnes' registration, the British team registered Philip Plater as a replacement.  The original registration later arrived, resulting in Britain having 13 entrants.  Further confusion on the day of competition resulted in all 13 shooting, Plater going last.  Plater, who had scored 391 points to place first in the event and set a world record, was ruled to have been the illegal competitor and his score was invalidated.

Phi Cassiopeiae

Phi Cassiopeiae (φ Cas, φ Cassiopeiae) is a star in the constellation Cassiopeia. φ Cassiopeiae is a multiple star with a combined apparent magnitude of +4.95. The two brightest components are A and C, sometimes called φ1 and φ2 Cas. φ Cas A is an F0 bright supergiant of magnitude 4.95 and φ Cas C is a 7.08 magnitude B6 supergiant at 134".

System

φ Cassiopeiae appears among the stars of the open cluster NGC 457, which is at 2,400pc, but it is uncertain whether it is a member of the cluster. φ Cas is generally treated as having five component stars, designated A to E in order of distance from the brightest star. The two components A and C are the brightest members of NGC 457; they are sometimes referred to as φ1 and φ2 Cassiopeiae.  Component B is a 12th magnitude star 49" from φ1. Components D and E and both 10th magnitude B-type main sequence stars in NGC 457, with component E only 42" from φ2.  Another three components are sometimes listed as components of the multiple system, although this is somewhat arbitrary with dozens of members of NGC 457 being found within a few arc-minutes.

The two supergiants share a similar space motion to the other stars in NGC 457, but their evolutionary status and brightness makes them unlikely members.  Their Gaia Data Release 2 parallaxes are comparable to other stars in the cluster and consistent with the accepted distance of NGC 457, and component C has been given a 70% likelihood of being a member of the cluster.

Properties
The primary component of the φ Cassiopeiae system is a very luminous yellow supergiant.  Its absolute magnitude is comparable to some yellow hypergiants but it does not show the level of mass loss and instability that would qualify it as a hypergiant itself.  Various model atmospheres all give a temperature around 7,300K, a low surface gravity, a radius around , and a luminosity well over .  More uncertain is the mass, which would be expected to have been well over  initially, but much less now.  Different authors have published values from  to .

Component C is a relatively typical B class supergiant, 83,000 times the luminosity of the sun.  It is a suspected variable and a suspected spectroscopic binary.

4 Cassiopeiae

4 Cassiopeiae is a red giant in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia, located approximately 790 light-years away from the Sun. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.96. At the distance of this system, its visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.56 due to interstellar dust. This system is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −39 km/s.

An evolved red giant star, currently on the asymptotic giant branch, 4 Cassiopeiae has a stellar classification of M2− IIIab. It is a suspected variable star of unknown type with a brightness that varies from visual magnitude 4.95 down to 5.00.

Multiple star catalogues list a number of companions to 4 Cassiopeiae, all unrelated stars at different distances.  As of 2011, the magnitude 9.88 component B lay at an angular separation of  along a position angle of 226° relative to the primary.  Components C, E, F, and G are all fainter and more than two arc-minutes from 4 Cassiopeiae, and components C and G are themselves close doubles.

4 Cassiopeiae is 40' north of the open cluster Messier 52, near the constellation border with Cepheus, although it is not a member of the cluster.

Omega Cassiopeiae

Omega Cassiopeiae (ω Cassiopeiae) is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.99, which means it is a faint star but visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 4.65 mas as seen from Earth, this system is located roughly 730 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.16 due to interstellar dust.

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 69.92 days and an eccentricity of 0.30. The visible component has the spectrum of an evolved, B-type giant star with a stellar classification of B5 III. It is a helium-weak star, a type of chemically peculiar star that displays abnormally weak absorption lines of helium for a star of its temperature. Omega Cassiopeiae has an estimated 3.5 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 178 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around .

Stephen Leaney

Stephen John Leaney (born 10 March 1969) is a professional golfer from Australia.

Born in Busselton, Western Australia, Leaney turned professional in 1992 and won several tournaments in Australia in the 1990s, despite having two ribs cut removed in December 1993 after doctors diagnosed a blood clot in his shoulder. Leaney has since spoken to W.A media and confirmed the threatening injury may have been caused from his prior to golf career in premier league darts. Between 1998 and 2003 he made the top 15 on the European Tour Order of Merit three times and won four European Tour events. Since 2004 he has played mainly on the based PGA Tour, but he has performed only moderately. His best finish in the United States remains a second place at the U.S. Open in 2003. He has featured in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Leaney has represented his country several times as an amateur and a professional and was a member of the International Team at the 2003 Presidents Cup.

CBGA-FM

CBGA-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Matane, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Société Radio-Canada, it broadcasts on 102.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 42,930 watts (class C1) using an omnidirectional antenna.

The station has a non-commercial news/talk format and is part of the Ici Radio-Canada Première network, which operates across Canada. Like all other Première stations, but unlike most FM stations, CBGA-FM broadcasts in mono.

Previously known as CBGA when the station was on 1250 kHz, the station moved to 102.1 FM in 2004. The station was founded in 1948 as CKBL and changed its call sign when it was bought by Radio-Canada in 1972.

The station's current local programs are Bon pied, bonne heure !, in the mornings from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., and Au coeur du monde in the afternoons, 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. CBGA-FM also co-produces D'Est en est, a pan-regional program produced in turn with CJBR-FM Rimouski and CBSI-FM Sept-Îles and heard afternoons during the summer months. On public holidays, its local programs are replaced with local shows airing provincewide (Quebec) produced by different outlets in turn (except Montreal and Quebec City). Its Saturday morning program, Samedi et rien d'autre, originates from CBF-FM Montreal.

Rebroadcasters

On August 30, 2011, the CBC has applied to close AM station CBGA-1, a 10,000 watt Class B repeater in Grande-Anse, New Brunswick, to be replaced with FM transmitters in Chandler, New Richmond, New Carlisle, Percé and Port-Daniel–Gascons. These transmitters were approved by the CRTC on October 28, 2011. The AM station mainly served listeners on the Quebec side of Chaleur Bay; listeners in the Bathurst area already receive Première programming from CBAF-FM-2 105.7 in Allardville, a repeater of CBAF-FM Moncton.

On January 4, 2013, the CBC filed an application to convert CBGA-6 1270 to 97.7 MHz. This application was approved by the CRTC on April 11, 2013.

During 2014, additional transmitters were applied for, and approved, in Escuminac and Matapédia.

CBGA-1 left the air in early December 2014, after the aforementioned FM rebroadcasters on the Quebec side of Chaleur Bay were activated.

Designed by Leo Fender, Tom Walker, and Sterling Ball, the StingRay bass appeared in 1976 and, though somewhat similar to a Fender Precision Bass, had a number of distinctive features.

It employed Humbucking pickups both placed near the bridge for a tighter sound,  and an active pre-amp powered by a 9-volt battery. Early iterations of this preamp came with a 2-band EQ (bass and treble),  later augmented by an optional third band (midrange), and Piezo pickups located in the bridge saddles.

The Stingray also had the distinctive "3+1" headstock (on which three tuning machines are situated on the top and one on the bottom).

Murray Bannerman

Murray Bannerman (born April 27, 1957) is a Canadian former ice hockey goaltender. He spent the majority of his career with the Chicago Blackhawks, though also briefly played for the Vancouver Canucks, who selected him in the 1977 NHL amateur draft.

Playing career
Bannerman was born in Fort Frances, Ontario. As a youth, he played in the 1969 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Winnipeg.

His NHL career started with the Vancouver Canucks in the 1977 season, where he played one period for the team without allowing a goal making him the only goalie in Canucks history to not allow a goal. He spent most of his career with the Chicago Blackhawks. In 1983, he was a part of the Campbell Conference's roster at the 35th National Hockey League All-Star Game. Tony Esposito's backup for the early portion of his career, Bannerman finally got a chance to shine in the first round of the 1982 playoffs. He won his first two games-on the road-and powered his Chicago team to a series victory over the Minnesota North Stars. His career ended after the 1988 season.

He became the number one goaltender in Chicago the next season, with Esposito acting as his backup, and eventually tended goal twice in the NHL All-Star game for his yeoman work in the Chicago net. Bannerman was the 'player to be named later' when he came to Chicago in 1978. Pit Martin, once traded for Phil Esposito, was dealt by Chicago to Vancouver in 1977.

Bannerman sits fifth on the Blackhawks' all-time goaltender list with 116 wins and 288 games played. He finished with 3.83 goals against average and over 16,000 minutes played in a Chicago jersey. Bannerman is also fourth on the all-time Blackhawks' goaltender playoff statistics list with 20 wins and 40 games played.

Post-playing career
Bannerman resides and works in the Chicago area. He still follows the Hawks and has many great memories of his time wearing the Indianhead. He fondly recalls the intensity of the fans back at the old Chicago Stadium.  He also does periodic work for the Blackhawk Alumni Association.

, Bannerman is the vice president of sales at the USA at Traffic Tech, Inc. a Montreal-based transportation and logistics provider.

James Butler, 2nd Earl of Ormond

James Butler, 2nd Earl of Ormond (4 October 133118 October 1382) was a noble in the Peerage of Ireland. He was Lord Justice of Ireland in 1359, 1364, and 1376, and a dominant political leader in Ireland in the 1360s and 1370s.

The son of James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormond and Lady Eleanor de Bohun, James was born at Kilkenny Castle and given in ward on 1 September 1344 to Maurice FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond for the fine of 2,306 marks; and afterwards to Sir John Darcy who married him to his daughter Elizabeth. He was usually called The Noble Earl, being a great-grandson, through his mother, of King Edward I of England. He died at Knocktopher Castle in Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland.

Career
In 1362, he slew 600 of Mac Murrough's followers at Teigstaffen (County Kilkenny). On 22 April 1364, was appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland to Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence: Clarence, from his first arrival in Ireland, placed great trust in him, and for a few years it seems that as Deputy he was almost all-powerful. In the 1360s he clashed with Maurice FitzGerald, 4th Earl of Kildare. In 1364 the Irish House of Commons sent a delegation to England, headed by Kildare, to complain of misgovernment, and to ask for the removal of  "corrupt" officials, some of whom had links to Ormond. A number of these officials were removed, but Ormond's position was not seriously threatened.

He was Lord Justice by 24 July 1376, with a salary of £500 a year, in which office he was continued by King Richard II of England. On 2 April 1372, he was made constable of Dublin Castle, with the fee of £18 5s. a year. He was summoned to the Parliaments held by Richard II.

He died on 18 October 1382 in his castle of Knocktopher (near which he had, in 1356, founded a Friary for Carmelite friars). He was buried in St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny.

Marriage and Children
On 15 May 1346, he married Elizabeth Darcy, daughter of Sir John Darcy, Knight of Knaith (another Lord Justice of Ireland) and Joan de Burgh. They had five children:
 James Butler, 3rd Earl of Ormond (1362–1405).
 Thomas Butler, Justice of Cork 1359–1396
 Eleanor Butler 1350–1392, married Gerald FitzGerald, 3rd Earl of Desmond
 Joan Butler 1360–1393 (plague) married Teige O'Carroll, Prince of Éile
 Ralph Butler 1356–1367

Average propensity to save

In Keynesian economics, the average propensity to save (APS), also known as the savings ratio, is the proportion of income which is saved, usually expressed for household savings as a fraction of total household disposable income (taxed income). 

The ratio differs considerably over time and between countries. The savings ratio for an entire economy can be affected by (for example) the proportion of older people (as they have less motivation and capability to save), and the rate of inflation (as expectations of rising prices can encourage people to spend now rather than later) or current interest rates.
APS can express the social preference for investing in the future over consuming in the present.
The complement (1 minus the APS) is the average propensity to consume (APC).

Low average propensity to save might be the indicator of a large percentage of old people or high percentage of irresponsible young people in the population.
With income level changes, APS becomes an inexact tool for measuring these changes. So, the marginal propensity to save is used in these cases.

Characteristics of APS

Mathematics 
From the equation:

APS is calculated from the amount of savings as a fraction of income.

APS can be calculated as total savings divided by the income level for which we want to determine the average propensity to save.

Example 1: The income level is 90 and total savings for that level is 25, then we will get 25/90 as the APS. 

Average propensity to save can not be greater than or equal to 1, but  APS can be negative, if income is zero and consumption has a positive value. 

Example 2: The income is 0 and consumption is 20, so the APS value will be -0.2.

Average propensity to save is decreasing 
As is a fraction of income, an increase in income would make the proportion of saving lower. Also income rises faster than savings so APS tens to decrease as income increase.

Marginal propensity to save (MPS) 
Marginal propensity to save is the proportion of an increase in income devoted to savings.
Mathematically, the  function is expressed as the derivative of the savings function  with respect to disposable income , i.e., the instantaneous slope of the - curve.

or, approximately,

, where  is the change in savings, and  is the change in disposable income that produced the consumption.

Procynosuchidae

Procynosuchidae is an extinct family of therapsids which, along with Dviniidae, were the earliest cynodonts. They appeared around 260 million years ago, and were most abundant during the latest Permian time (251 mya), shortly before the Permian-Triassic extinction event. Despite being the basal member of the cynodont clade, they already showed some of the advanced mammalian characteristics, but Procynosuchids bore resemblance to the Therocephalians.

Procynosuchid eyes were forward-facing, and the dentary was larger than the Therocephalians. The Procynosuchids had a secondary palate, which allows them to eat food while breathing, just like mammals. The Procynosuchids became extinct at the Permian-Triassic extinction event. Some procynosuchids were terrestrial, but others like Procynosuchus were semi-aquatic.

Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria

Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria is a type of pigmentation disorder of the skin. It is characterized by dark and light spots formed like lace in a generalized distribution.

Both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance have been reported with the disorder.

It has been associated with mutations in genes SASH1 and ABCB6.

It is a rare genodermatosis.

R Cassiopeiae

R Cassiopeiae is a variable star in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. It is located approximately 574 light years distant from the Sun, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −23 km/s. This is a pulsating Mira-type variable star with a brightness varies from magnitude +4.4 down to +13.5 with a period of 433.6 days. At its maximum, R Cassiopeiae is visible to the naked eye as a faint, red-hued star.

This aging red giant star has a stellar classification that varies from M6e to M10e, where the 'e' suffix indicates emission features in the spectrum. Currently on the asymptotic giant branch, it has 59% of the mass of the Sun with an oxygen rich chemical abundance. Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded to 263–310 times the Sun's radius. On average, the star is radiating 3,837 times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere with an effective temperature ranging around 2,812 K. It is losing mass at the rate of  and is surrounded by a dusty circumstellar shell that extends out to .
