Koshi Province (Japan)

</noinclude>

 was an ancient province or region of Japan in what is now the Hokuriku region. The region as a whole was sometimes referred to as .

Koshi appears as one of the original provinces in the Nihon Shoki. In 598 AD, the residents of Koshi presented a white deer to Empress Suiko as tribute.

At the end of the 7th century, Koshi was divided into three separate provinces: Echizen, Etchū, and Echigo (as noted in the Taihō Code). The names of these provinces mean 'Inner-Koshi' (Echizen), 'Middle-Koshi' (Etchu), and 'Outer-Koshi' (Echigo), respectively, indicating their relative positions with respect to the capital region (Kinki) at the time the Ritsuryō system was enacted. Later, parts of Echizen were separated off into Noto and Kaga provinces.

Awaking the Gods: Live in Mexico

Awaking the Gods: Live in Mexico is the first live album by the German symphonic metal band Haggard. It was released on 24 September 2001 by Drakkar Entertainment. It was filmed at Teatro Ferrocarrilero in Mexico City during the tour for the Awaking the Centuries album. The DVD contains footage from Teotihuacan between the songs.

Due to technical issues the DVD audio is from the studio albums Awaking the Centuries and And Thou Shalt Trust... the Seer.

Reception 
The album received a positive review by the German Sonic Seducer magazine, calling it a unique fusion of Medieval, Baroque and Classical music with traditional metal. The musical skills of the band members were also stressed out in this review. Rock Hard noted the balanced recording and wrote that the album had authentically caught the concert's atmosphere.

Track listing 

The DVD Plus version contains three DVD tracks:
 "Final Victory"
 "In a Pale Moon's Shadow"
 "Awaking the Centuries"

Markus Brier

Markus Brier (born 5 July 1968) is an Austrian professional golfer. He won twice on the European Tour and in 2008 was his country's second highest ranked player, behind Bernd Wiesberger.

Career
Brier won the Swiss and German Amateur Opens in the mid-1990s, and turned professional in 1995 at a relatively late age. Nine top ten finishes, including five top threes, on the 1999 Challenge Tour earned him third place on the season ending money list and playing privileges on the European Tour for 2000. He retained his tour card through his final position on the order of merit every year, except for 2002 and 2010 when he regained it through final qualifying school.

Since joining the European Tour, Brier has continued to play in his home event, the Austrian Open, winning it on two occasions during a period when it was a Challenge Tour event. In 2006 the tournament was promoted back onto the main European Tour schedule, now under the sponsored title BA-CA Golf Open. In its first year back, Brier once again took the title, in the process becoming the first Austrian golfer to win a European Tour event. This win helped him to his then best year-end finish on the Order of Merit of 49th.

Brier's second European Tour win came in 2007 at the Volvo China Open and he improved his position on the year end Order of Merit to 32nd. He has also featured in the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

In 2012, Brier failed to regain his card at qualifying school. He failed to do so again in 2016 at age 48. He was the oldest competitor during 2016 Q School. Had he placed high enough, he would have been the oldest player to graduate to the European Tour via Q School.

Vertical tangent

In mathematics, particularly calculus, a vertical tangent is a tangent line that is vertical. Because a vertical line has infinite slope, a function whose graph has a vertical tangent is not differentiable at the point of tangency.

Limit definition
A function ƒ has a vertical tangent at x = a if the difference quotient used to define the derivative has infinite limit:

The first case corresponds to an upward-sloping vertical tangent, and the second case to a downward-sloping vertical tangent. The graph of ƒ has a vertical tangent at x = a if the derivative of ƒ at a is either positive or negative infinity.

For a continuous function, it is often possible to detect a vertical tangent by taking the limit of the derivative. If

then ƒ must have an upward-sloping vertical tangent at x = a. Similarly, if

then ƒ must have a downward-sloping vertical tangent at x = a. In these situations, the vertical tangent to ƒ appears as a vertical asymptote on the graph of the derivative.

Vertical cusps
Closely related to vertical tangents are vertical cusps. This occurs when the one-sided derivatives are both infinite, but one is positive and the other is negative. For example, if

then the graph of ƒ will have a vertical cusp that slopes up on the left side and down on the right side.

As with vertical tangents, vertical cusps can sometimes be detected for a continuous function by examining the limit of the derivative. For example, if 

then the graph of ƒ will have a vertical cusp at x = a that slopes down on the left side and up on the right side.

Example
The function

has a vertical tangent at x = 0, since it is continuous and

Similarly, the function

has a vertical cusp at x = 0, since it is continuous,

Mathematical analysis
Allylamine

Allylamine is an organic compound with the formula C3H5NH2.  This colorless liquid is the simplest stable unsaturated amine.

Production and reactions
All three allylamines, mono-, di-, and triallylamine, are produced by the treating allyl chloride with ammonia followed by distillation. Or by the reaction of allyl chloride with Hexamine. Pure samples can be prepared by hydrolysis of allyl isothiocyanate.  It behaves as a typical amine.

Polymerization can be used to prepare the homopolymer (polyallylamine) or copolymers.  The polymers are promising membranes for use in reverse osmosis.

Other allylamines
Diallylamine is a precursor to industrial products.  Functionalized allylamines have pharmaceutical applications. Pharmaceutically important allylamines include flunarizine and naftifine. Flunarizine aids in the relief of migraines while naftifine acts to fight common fungus causing infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.

Safety
Allylamine, like other allyl derivatives is a lachrymator and skin irritant.  Its oral  is 106 mg/kg for rats.

Still I Dream of It

"Still I Dream of It" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys that was recorded in early 1977. Written by Brian Wilson, the song was written for Frank Sinatra, but was also intended for Stevie Wonder or Elton John, in case Sinatra would reject it. The band recorded the song for their album Adult/Child, which was never released.

In 1993, the track was released on the box set Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys. A demo version of Brian Wilson singing the song and accompanying himself on piano was included on Wilson's 1995 solo album I Just Wasn't Made for These Times.

Reception
Music journalist Barney Hoskyns called the song's pathos "irresistible."

Personnel
Brian Wilson — vocals, piano

Covers
The song has been covered by Ed Harcourt and was released as a limited edition single, it is also found on the Elephant's Graveyard a collection of Harcourt's B-sides and rarities. Jimmy Nail, and Carice van Houten have also covered the song.

Lejay, Afghanistan

Lejay, Afghanistan is a small village in Helmand Province.

Taliban ambush
Taliban forces in this village executed an ambush on a U.S. Special Forces Reconnaissance element, consisting of seven Green Beret detachments (A-Teams), on February 10, 2003. The subsequent battle, initiated by the ambush, lasted for 43 hours. During this engagement, a multitude of munitions were dropped by CAS (Close Air Support) ranging from 500 lbs to 2000 lbs.  Several of the Green Berets received shrapnel and grazing wounds, but none were evacuated from the area. At least 43 Taliban insurgents were killed during the engagement.

The Americans rounded up dozens of prisoners following the battle.  By one account, the Americans rounded up 70 Afghans.  Another account said they rounded up 40 Afghans.  According to the evidence produced at the Combatant Status Review Tribunals, some of the prisoners were sent to the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp, in Cuba.

Press reports of the military action in the neighborhood of Lejay
Coalition forces conducted an aerial campaign against the neighborhood of Lejay.
Haji Pir Mohammad, the deputy governor of Helmand, led a six-man investigative team to the region, to investigate villager's reports of a massive American aerial bombardment. 

Colonel Roger King, a US military spokesman, told reporters that the US Special Forces hunting the ambushers believed they were hunting between thirty and one hundred fighters. He informed reporters that American troops had found ammunition casings and empty rocket tubes.  He called the reports of civilian casualties "unsupported".  He stated that the US aerial bombardment had been confined to caves, and the ridgeline east and west of Lejay.

Press reports of the scale of the bombardment King reported were inconsistent.
 On February 12, 2003, the New York Times quoted King as acknowledging coalition forces dropping almost 20 2,000 pound bombs.
 On February 12, 2003, the Sydney Morning Herald quoted King acknowledging  "Close air support was requested, and coalition F-16s dropped five 500-pound bombs."
 On February 13, 2003, Reuters quoted King acknowledging that the US had dropped a single 2,000 pound bomb, and fired ten 105mm cannon rounds from an AC130 aerial gunship.
 On February 13, 2003, The Guardian reported that the region had been subjected to an eight-hour bombardment, from a mixed force of B1 and B52 bombers.  
 On February 14, 2003, the BBC'' quoted King acknowledging that the coalition had dropped four 500 pound bombs.

Gilbert Smithson Adair

Gilbert Smithson Adair FRS (1896–1979) was an early protein scientist who used osmotic pressure measurements to establish that haemoglobin was a tetramer under physiological conditions. This conclusion led him to be the first to identify cooperative binding, in the context of oxygen binding to haemoglobin.

Gilbert Smithson Adair was born on 21 September 1896 in Whitehaven, son of Harold and Anna Mary Adair (née Jackson), who were Quakers. Gilbert and his sister Anna were initially taught at home by a governess. Later, Gilbert was taught at the Quaker Bootham School, where he was a boarder. The family, meanwhile had moved to Egremont, where Harold Adair was managing director of Wyndham Mining Company Ltd. an iron ore mine.
Adair entered King's College, Cambridge from 1915 to 1917, gaining a first in Natural Sciences. He was soon employed by the Food Investigation Board, a wartime research group set up by the DSIR to determine how to prevent wastage of food, particularly fish, meat, fruits, etc. on cargo ships.

In 1920, he became a research student at King's College, and was made an official Fellow in 1928, granting him five years to devote to research. In 1931, he became assistant director of the Physiological Laboratory in Cambridge. He was a Reader in Biophysics from 1945 until his retirement in 1963.  Adair was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1939.

He married Muriel Elaine Robinson in Cambridge in 1931. Muriel had entered Girton College in 1918, and went on to obtain a research fellowship at Newnham. She died on 2 January 1975.

As an incidental historical note, Adair provided the purified haemoglobin that Max Perutz used for the first structure determination of any protein (by X-ray crystallography).

Gilbert Smithson Adair died in Cambridge on 22 June 1979.

Adair equation 

The equation 

is called the Adair equation for four binding sites.  (Analogous equations can be written for other numbers of sites.) It expresses the  degree of saturation at  equilibrium  as a function of ligand concentration  and a series of dissociation constants , , ,  of the binding sites, assuming no interaction between them. All equations for models of cooperativity of binding at equilibrium are special cases of the Adair equation, even if they look superficially as if they are not.

Sodium methoxide

Sodium methoxide is the simplest sodium alkoxide.  With the formula , it is a white solid, which is formed by the deprotonation of methanol.  It is a widely used reagent in industry and the laboratory.  It is also a dangerously caustic base.

Preparation and structure 
Sodium methoxide is prepared by treating methanol with sodium:

The reaction is so exothermic that ignition is possible.  The resulting solution, which is colorless, is often used as a source of sodium methoxide, but the pure material can be isolated by evaporation followed by heating to remove residual methanol.  

As a solid, sodium methoxide is polymeric, with sheet-like arrays of  centers, each bonded to four oxygen centers.

The structure, and hence the basicity, of sodium methoxide in solution depends on the solvent.  It is a significantly stronger base in DMSO where it is more fully ionized and free of hydrogen bonding.

Applications

Organic synthesis
Sodium methoxide is a routinely used base in organic chemistry, applicable to the synthesis of numerous compounds ranging from pharmaceuticals to agrichemicals.  As a base, it is employed in dehydrohalogenations and various condensations.  It is also a nucleophile for the production of methyl ethers.

Industrial applications
Sodium methoxide is used as an initiator of anionic addition polymerization with ethylene oxide, forming a polyether with high molecular weight.  Biodiesel is prepared from vegetable oils and animal fats (fatty acid triglycerides) by transesterification with methanol to give fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Sodium methoxide acts as a catalyst for this reaction, but will combine with any free fatty acids present in the oil/fat feedstock to form soap byproducts.

Stability
The solid hydrolyzes in water to give methanol and sodium hydroxide.  Indeed, samples of sodium methoxide are often contaminated with sodium hydroxide, which is difficult to detect.  The compound absorbs carbon dioxide from the air to form methanol and sodium carbonate, thus diminishing the alkalinity of the base. 

Commercial batches of sodium methoxide show variable levels of degradation, and were a major source of irreproducibility when used in Suzuki reactions.

Safety
Sodium methoxide is highly caustic and reacts with water to give methanol, which is toxic and volatile.

NFPA 704
The ratings for this substance vary widely.

Dietrichsdorf

Dietrichsdorf  is a village and a former municipality in Wittenberg district in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Since 1 January 2011, it is part of the town Zahna-Elster. From 1 January 2005 until January 2011 the municipality belonged to the administrative municipality (Verwaltungsgemeinschaft) of Elbaue-Fläming, and before that to the administrative municipality of Mühlengrund.

Geography and transport
The community lies  east of Wittenberg on the north bank of the Elbe. Through the community run the Federal Highway (Bundesstraße) B 187 and the railway line between Wittenberg and Cottbus.

History
The originally Slavic community of Dietrichsdorf had its first documentary mention on 14 November 1385. It was however named after the colonization leader Dietrich who led a group of German settlers during the East Colonization; the original Slavic name was not kept.

The subdivision of Külso had its first documentary mention in 1378. Külso, too, is of Slavic origin. The name comes from koko, meaning "rounding", "circle" or "round village", which most likely refers to the village's original shape. Since 1942, the community has been part of Dietrichsdorf.

Subdivisions
Dietrichsdorf has the following subdivisions: Gallin and Külso.

Geraldton Gold Cup

The Geraldton Cup is an unlisted Thoroughbred horse race, took place at the Geraldton Racecourse, 435km north of Perth, Australia, which was first run on 8 December 1887 with a winner's purse of £300. The race, staged over 3,200 metres, was won by Baron Necktar, a full brother to Dunlop, the Melbourne Cup winner of the same year. In 1887, the Perth Cup had a winner's purse of £250 and placed Geraldton racing ahead of what was to become one of Western Australia's most popular races.

The Geraldton Gold Cup is hosted by the Geraldton Turf Club. The prize-money for the Geraldton Cup for 2015 was $90,000 and run over 2100m.

In 2007, Tapdog became the first horse to win the race three times.

Caleb Lyon

Caleb Lyon (December 7, 1822 – September 8, 1875) was Governor of Idaho Territory from 1864 to 1865 during the last half of the American Civil War.

Biography
Caleb Lyon was the son of Marietta Henrietta Dupont (1788–1869) and Caleb Lyon (1761–1835).  In 1841, he married Mary Ann Springsteen. They had a son Caleb (b. 1842) and a daughter Henrietta Frederica (b. 1843).

He attended and graduated from the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy (later Norwich University), Class of 1841.

Career
In 1847, he was appointed US Consul to Shanghai, but never made it to China – instead he moved to California, and was credited as the designer of the California State Seal adopted in 1849, although the actual design was by Robert S. Garnett.

Lyon was an Independent member of the New York State Assembly (Lewis Co.) in 1851. He resigned his seat on April 26, and was elected to the New York State Senate on May 27, serving during the 74th New York State Legislature's special session in June/July 1851.  Lyon was elected as an Independent to the 33rd United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1853, to March 3, 1855.

Appointed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864, as Governor of Idaho Territory, Lyon proved to be extremely unpopular. One journalist wrote he was "a conceited, peculiar man, who made many enemies and misappropriated much of the public funds." During Lyon's administration, the territorial capital was moved from Lewiston to Boise, reputedly because Lyon thought it was better to have the capital in a larger city.

Lyon started a diamond-prospecting frenzy when he claimed that a prospector had found a diamond near Ruby City, Idaho.  Although hundreds of men staked claims, no genuine diamonds were found as a result.

In 1866, an audit showed that Lyon had embezzled $46,418 in federal funds which were intended for the Nez Perce people.  He was never convicted on any charges.

Later life and death
After Lyon's governorship ended, he returned to his home in Rossville, Staten Island, New York, where he purchased a home known as "Ross Castle" in 1859. A small collection of Lyon's papers is preserved by the Staten Island Historical Society at Historic Richmond Town in New York, along with various artifacts associated with the Lyon family.

He died on September 8, 1875, and is interred at Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, US.

Dechoukaj

Dechoukaj is a Kreyòl term that literally means "uprooting".  It is used primarily to refer to the political upheaval in Haiti following the exile of dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier on February 7, 1986. During the dechoukaj many ordinary Haitian peasants and city dwellers exacted revenge on their oppressors, including members of the Tonton Macoutes.   The dechoukaj especially affected the institution of the Haitian Vodou religion, whose principals and traditions had been strongly and directly tied to the dictators and used to exert control over the population.

Diagonal band of Broca

The diagonal band of Broca interconnects the amygdala and the septal area. It is one of the olfactory structures. It is situated upon the inferior aspect of the brain. It forms the medial margin of the anterior perforated substance.

It was described by the French neuroanatomist Paul Broca.

Structure
It consists of fibers that are said to arise in the parolfactory area, the gyrus subcallosus and the anterior perforated substance, and course backward in the longitudinal striae to the dentate gyrus and the hippocampal region.

This is a cholinergic bundle of nerve fibers posterior to the anterior perforated substance. It interconnects the subcallosal gyrus in the septal area with the hippocampus and lateral olfactory area.

Nuclei
Two structures are often described in this brain regions, namely the nuclei of the vertical and horizontal limbs of the diagonal band of Broca (nvlDBB and nhlDBB, respectively). nvlDBB projects to the hippocampal formation through the fornix and it is the second largest assembly of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain whereas nhlDBB projects to the olfactory bulb and it does not have a significant population of cholinergic neurons.

Development 
It is one of the basal forebrain structures that are derived from the ventral telencephalon during development.

Function
Along with the septum pellucidum and medial septal nucleus, the diagonal band of Broca is believed to be involved in the generation of theta waves in the hippocampus. It also inhibits magnocellular neurosecretory cells via GABA interneurons.

Its behavior can be altered by nerve growth factor.

Pathology 
A significant nvlDBB neuronal loss is seen in Lewy body dementia.

Battle of Bạch Đằng

There have been three Battles of Bạch Đằng recorded in the history of Vietnam:
Battle of Bạch Đằng (938) between the Vietnamese commanded by Ngô Quyền and troops of the Southern Han.  This battle resulted in the complete independence of Vietnam from Chinese rule.
Battle of Bạch Đằng (981) between the Vietnamese army commanded by Lê Hoàn and troops of the Song Dynasty.
Battle of Bạch Đằng (1288) between the Vietnamese army commanded by Trần Hưng Đạo and troops of the Yuan Dynasty, resulting in a Vietnamese victory.

911th Engineer Company

The 911th Technical Rescue Engineer Company, formerly the MDW (Military District of Washington) Engineer Company, is a unit of the United States Army that specialises in technical rescue, particularly urban search and rescue (US&R). It is one of the only technical rescue companies in the United States Department of Defense. The 911th Technical Rescue Engineer Company is stationed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

The 911th Technical Rescue Engineer Company is assigned to the 12th Aviation Battalion, Army Air Operations Group, Military District of Washington. The company is modeled after a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Urban Search and Rescue Heavy Task Force. The company is certified in mine rescue and technical rescue, and specializes in trench, structural collapse, ropes, and confined space disciplines. It regularly trains with local, state, and federal first responders. 

In 2001, the company responded immediately to the September 11 attacks on the Pentagon. The first sergeant and company commander moved the company to the disaster site without waiting for orders and spent 10 days engaged in search and rescue operations. The unit was re-designated as the 911th United States Army Technical Rescue Engineer Company on 11 September 2006, in memory of its historic role in the subsequent recovery effort.

The company was on standby during the first inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009, and since then has been prepared for numerous other events within the National Capital Region. In 2012 the company was equipped with heavy transport and dump trucks.

Brabham BT44

The Brabham BT44 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Murray, Brabham's chief designer.

Design 
An update of the partially successful BT42 of 1973, the BT44 was a simple design with a standard Ford DFV/Hewland gearbox combination, but was very clean aerodynamically. Murray had an eye for clean lines, and the BT44 was particularly graceful. He was also a forward thinker, and tinkered with side skirts and airdams on the car, a precursor to ground effects aerodynamics.

Sponsorship came from Martini.

Racing history

1974 

The 1974 season was successful for Brabham. Carlos Reutemann took three wins with the car, partnered by Carlos Pace who was able to string a series of promising results together. Brabham finished at a fighting fifth place in the Constructor's Championship after a closely fought season.

1975 
The BT44 was modified for 1975, and Pace won his first and only Grand Prix at his home event in Brazil, while Reutemann won at the Nürburgring. A series of other strong finishes helped Reutemann to finish third in the drivers' championship in 1975, whilst Brabham equalled his feat in the constructors' championship by finishing second. Whilst the BT44 was a good car, it couldn't match the McLaren M23 or the Ferrari 312T.

1976 

The BT44 was replaced by the Alfa Romeo powered BT45 for 1976 which proved to be a serious step back for the team. The BT44Bs were sold to RAM Racing, who ran them for a variety of drivers in the 1976 World Championship, including Loris Kessel, Emilio de Villota, Patrick Nève, Jac Nellemann, Damien Magee, Lella Lombardi and Bob Evans, none of whom had much success.
