Idiocerus

Idiocerus is a large genus of homopteran bugs belonging to the family Cicadellidae (the leafhoppers). The group is characterized by a very short and broadly rounded vertex (head); many species are very similar and difficult to identify. Most are found on specific host plants, particularly poplars and willows. For instance the common European species I. vitreus is found exclusively on certain poplars.

Alex Rider: Stormbreaker

Alex Rider: Stormbreaker is the name of two video games based on the 2006 film Stormbreaker, which in turn was an adaptation of the original 2000 novel. They were released on 7 July 2006 in UK, and 25 September 2006 in the U.S. for Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance, with the former platform itself prominently appearing in the film as part of a marketing deal with Nintendo.

Gameplay
The Game Boy Advance Stormbreaker is an overhead action and stealth game, where players take control of Alex (and once, his uncle Ian) in several missions. Alex gains several gadgets over the course of the game, which are integral to mission completion. Also included is an array of minigames by weapon inventor Smithers. There is also an MI6 training camp mode for players to test out their skills.

Reception

The game was criticised by many gaming sites and magazines, with Pocket Gamer writing that it "just isn't good enough." Review aggregator Metacritic lists the game's rating at 48 out of 100 based on 11 reviews, with Nintendo Power commenting that the "basic gameplay is flawed in every way." IGN gave it a 'poor' rating of 4.0/10, stating "this game just isn't good."

Sinyar people

Sinyar are the members of a minor ethnic minority in Chad and possibly Sudan (West Darfur). Most speak Sinyar, a Nilo-Saharan language, as well as Chadian Arabic and Fur. They are Muslims and culturally Fur.

History 
According to local tradition, the Sinyars claim to trace their origins to Arabs from Egypt. The Sinyars were subjects of the Keira Sultanate until around 1863, when the Sinyars then became subjects of the Dar Sila kingdom. Starting in 1874, the Turco- Egyptians began invading the region. After border negotiations between the British and French, the area where the Sinyar live got split into French Chad and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. A 1996 estimate placed the total population of the Sinyar at around 30,000 or slightly more.

Culture 
Many Sinyars are employed as farmers and agricultural laborers. Hunting and fishing used to be common among the Sinyars but environmental degradation has led to its virtual extinction as a form of significant subsistence.

Sinyars were historically matrilineal. Women play a significant role in Sinyar society and are able to be economically independent (with women often making more money than their husbands). Matrilocal residences are common. Sinyars live in extended families where women often outnumber men. 

The Sinyars are Muslim.

Kampung Laut Mosque

Kampung Laut Mosque () is one of the oldest mosques in Malaysia. There is no confirmatory evidence when the building of the mosque took place. It is estimated to have been built sometime in the 15th century or 18th century. It is located on in Kampung Laut, Tumpat District, Kelantan.

History 
Masjid Kampung Laut is estimated to have been built in the 15th century, by a group of Champa government transporters; from the Kingdom of Champa. Its style is largely typical of local traditional architecture, and is climate-appropriate, similar to local houses in the area. The style is also remnant of a once culturally southern Indian Hindu architecture.  The original mosque had a basic architectural style and structure: with four pillars for the foundation and palm fronds for the roof. This mosque built inspired by Demak Great Mosque in Java. This mosque have Javanese Architecture and built by Walisongo after they built Demak Great Mosque in Java. Kampung Laut Mosque use to Rest Area when Walisongo went to Champa from Java. 

During the reign of the Kelantan Sultanate between 1859 and 1900, the mosque became an important meeting point for the sultans and religious leaders. The mosque was also used as a trading post. During this period, the mosque was expanded and upgraded with 20 pillars, a three-tiered roof, a tower (for muezzin to call for prayers), an attic, and a water tank while the flooring was made of well quality timber. The mosque was handed over to the Kelantan Government under Menteri Besar Datuk Asri Muda's administration in May 1970.

Kampung Laut is considered a traditional area for gathering, as the tradition in the region dates back thousands of years.

Floods
It has survived two big floods that occurred in Kelantan, the first is in 1926 when a flood known as Bah Air Merah and another in 1966. The second flood severely damaged the Mosque when parts of the mosque close to the river were swept away by flood waters. However, the mosque was repaired subsequently.

Pavel Eisner

Pavel Eisner (16 January 1889 – 8 July 1958), also known as Paul Eisner and under the pseudonym Vincy Schwarze, was Czech linguist and translator and the author of many studies about Czech language. He is considered one of the most important Czech translators of all time and was said to be proficient in 12 languages - English, French, Icelandic, Italian, Hungarian, German, Norwegian, Persian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, and Tibetan. He produced some of the earliest Czech language translations of Franz Kafka's work.

Biography
Eisner came from a Jewish family in Prague. He was bilingual from his childhood. He studied Slavonic, German, and Romance languages at Prague's German Charles-Ferdinand University, and graduated in 1918. He worked as a translator for the Czech Chamber of Commerce and Crafts and, at the same time, edited for the German-language newspaper, Prager Presse. During this time, he also contributed to several cultural magazines. Since 1936 he was a member of Prague linguistic circle. During the German occupation he was persecuted as a Jew, but survived because he was married to a non-Jewish German woman. He managed to publish a book under his pseudonym Vincy Schwarze.

Francis Eppes Plantation

The Francis Eppes Plantation was a cotton plantation of 1,920 acres (8 km2) situated in east-central  Leon County, Florida, United States and established by Francis W. Eppes in 1829.

Location
The Francis Eppes Plantation bordered Evergreen Hills Plantation on the east, La Grange Plantation on the north, and the northeast tip of Southwood Plantation on the south. The plantation was located on both north and south shores of Lake Lafayette, Florida. Today that land encompasses the neighborhoods around Buck Lake including western Buck Lake Road, southern Pedrick Road, Planters Ridge Drive, Heritage Park Blvd and Doyle Conner Blvd.

Plantation specifics
The Leon County Florida 1860 Agricultural Census shows that the Francis Eppes Plantation had the following:
Improved Land: 950 acres (4 km2)
Unimproved Land: 970 acres (4 km2)
Cash value of plantation: $24,000
Cash value of farm implements/machinery: $500
Cash value of farm animals: $3000
Number of persons enslaved: 70

Owner

Francis W. Eppes, VII, was a grandson of Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson and Thomas Jefferson. Eppes came to Leon County in 1829 with his wife Mary and numerous slaves from Virginia, including some descendants of Betsy Hemmings, his nurse and a matriarch of the slave community at his childhood home of Millbrook. While the territory was under Spanish rule, Eppes served as Intendant (mayor) of Tallahassee.  He is noted for initiating the proposal to locate a state-supported seminary in Tallahassee, which eventually developed into Florida State University.

Eppes sold his plantation during the Civil War for Confederate money.  He lost the remainder of his investment and slaves by 1865, when they were freed.  Eppes left Tallahassee for Orange County, Florida to begin citrus farming.

Florida became part of the United States in 1821. As Francis Eppes arrived in Florida in 1829, at the time he was Intendant/mayor of Tallahassee, Florida was no longer ruled by Spain.

Bayernhof Music Museum

Bayernhof Music Museum features a major collection of automated musical instruments from the 19th and 20th centuries.  Located six miles (10 km) northeast of downtown Pittsburgh in the suburb of O'Hara Township, Pennsylvania, it is housed in a German-style mansion sited on an  dramatic overlook some  above the Allegheny River Valley.

Bayernhof is the name of the mansion itself, a $4.2 million project completed in 1982 as a private residence by Charles Brown III (1935–1999), founder and CEO of Gas-Lite Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh. The  house includes a rooftop observatory, an indoor cave, a swimming pool with a  waterfall, ten fireplaces, eight full baths, three powder rooms, three full-size kitchens as well as a completely restored copper still.

The museum was a directive of Mr. Brown's will, and it opened to the public in 2004.

Blue Swords

Blue Swords () is an international figure skating competition organized by the Deutsche Eislauf-Union. It is usually held in Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany. Medals are awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Champions of the event win the Blue Swords Trophy.

History 
Blue Swords began as a senior international competition in East Germany, and was held annually between 1961 and 1998. In 1985, it became a junior-level event. Since 1997, it is chosen in some years by the International Skating Union to be part of the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. These are the only years when the event is still held.

The German name for the event is "Pokal der Blauen Schwerter", referring to the blue swords trademark of Meissen porcelain. The Blue Sword Trophy is made of that porcelain.

Level of free convection

The level of free convection (LFC) is the altitude in the atmosphere where an air parcel lifted adiabatically until saturation becomes warmer than the environment at the same level, so that positive buoyancy can initiate self-sustained convection.

Finding the LFC
The usual way of finding the LFC is to lift a parcel from a lower level along the dry adiabatic lapse rate until it crosses the saturated mixing ratio line of the parcel: this is the lifted condensation level (LCL).  From there on, follow the moist adiabatic lapse rate until the temperature of the parcel reaches the air mass temperature, at the equilibrium level (EL).  If the temperature of the parcel along the moist adiabat is warmer than the environment on further lift, one has found the LFC.

Use
Since the volume of the parcel is larger than the surrounding air after LFC by the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), it is less dense and becomes buoyant rising until its temperature (at EL) equals the surrounding airmass.  If the airmass has one or many LFC, it is potentially unstable and may lead to convective clouds like cumulus and thunderstorms.

From the level of free convection to the point where the ascending parcel again becomes colder than its surroundings, the equilibrium level (EL), any air parcel gain kinetic energy which is calculated by its Convective available potential energy (CAPE), giving the potential for severe weather.

Sorption

Sorption is a physical and chemical process by which one substance becomes attached to another. Specific cases of sorption are treated in the following articles:
 Absorption "the incorporation of a substance in one state into another of a different state" (e.g., liquids being absorbed by a solid or gases being absorbed by a liquid);
 Adsorption The physical adherence or bonding of ions and molecules onto the surface of another phase (e.g., reagents adsorbed to a solid catalyst surface);
 Ion exchange An exchange of ions between two electrolytes or between an electrolyte solution and a complex.

The reverse of sorption is desorption.

Sorption rate
The adsorption and absorption rate of a diluted solute in gas or liquid solution to a surface or interface can be calculated using Fick's laws of diffusion.

Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club and Parliamentary Council



Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club
Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (; abbrev: BNBBC) is composed of the BN backbencher MPs. The term "backbencher" originates from the British Parliament, denoting an MP who is not a member of the Cabinet or is otherwise part of the government as a Deputy Minister or Parliamentary Secretary. Since the 2022 general election, there have been 30 BN MPs. Six among them have been appointed as members of the Anwar Ibrahim cabinet. Therefore, there are presently 24 BN backbencher MPs. Initially it was not prominent in parliamentary affairs. However, in 2005, it drew attention when its then Chairman Shahrir Abdul Samad publicly called for the restoration of the Parliamentary Services Act (PSA) so that the Parliament could be self-sufficient in conducting its own affairs. The then backbencher MPs supported Shahrir, but little was heard further on after the matter blew over. Then in 2006, Shahrir resigned from his position after not receiving support from the backbenchers in voting for a motion brought by then Leader of the Opposition and MP for Ipoh Timor Lim Kit Siang from the Democratic Action Party (DAP). Then Deputy Chairman Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Omar was appointed to replace Shahrir as the Acting Chair. After 2008 general election, Bintulu MP Tiong King Sing of the Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) took over Raja Ahmad Zainuddin as Chairman while Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin took over as Deputy Chairman. After the 2013 general election, Shahrir was reappointed Chairman for a second term replacing Tiong and Bung Moktar remained the Deputy Chairman. After the 2018 Malaysian general election, the positions of Chairman and Deputy Chairman were vacant for two years. It was most recently chaired by former Prime Minister and former Pekan MP Najib Razak from November 2020 to his disqualification from the position after losing his parliamentary seat upon his admission to the prison in August 2022.

Barisan Nasional Parliamentary Council
Barisan Nasional Parliamentary Council (; abbrev: BNPC) is composed of Barisan Nasional (BN) Members of Parliament (MPs) responsible for holding the government to account and for developing and disseminating the policy positions of the coalition. It was most recently chaired by Bera MP Ismail Sabri Yaakob from July 2018 to his ministerial appointment in March 2020.

Metacompact space

In the mathematical field of general topology, a topological space is said to be metacompact if every open cover has a point-finite open refinement. That is, given any open cover of the topological space, there is a refinement that is again an open cover with the property that every point is contained only in finitely many sets of the refining cover.

A space is countably metacompact if every countable open cover has a point-finite open refinement.

Properties 
The following can be said about metacompactness in relation to other properties of topological spaces:

 Every paracompact space is metacompact. This implies that every compact space is metacompact, and every metric space is metacompact. The converse does not hold: a counter-example is the Dieudonné plank.
 Every metacompact space is orthocompact.
 Every metacompact normal space is a shrinking space
 The product of a compact space and a metacompact space is metacompact. This follows from the tube lemma.
 An easy example of a non-metacompact space (but a countably metacompact space) is the Moore plane.
 In order for a Tychonoff space X to be compact it is necessary and sufficient that X be metacompact and pseudocompact (see Watson).

Covering dimension 

A topological space X is said to be of covering dimension n if every open cover of X has a point-finite open refinement such that no point of X is included in more than n + 1 sets in the refinement and if n is the minimum value for which this is true. If no such minimal n exists, the space is said to be of infinite covering dimension.

Hamilton Lavity Stoutt

Hamilton Lavity Stoutt (7 March 1929 – 14 May 1995) was a British Virgin Islander politician and the first and longest serving Chief Minister of the British Virgin Islands. He won five general elections (1967, 1979, 1986, 1991 and 1995) and serving three non-consecutive terms of office from 1967 to 1971, again from 1979 to 1983 and again from 1986 until his death in 1995.

Biography

Early life
Stoutt was born on 7 March 1929 in Long Bay, Tortola.  He was the eighth child of Isaiah and Iallia Stoutt.  He married Hilda E. Stoutt in 1956 and had three sons and three daughters.  He was a staunch Methodist, and served as both a Sunday school superintendent and a lay preacher.

Career
Stoutt served as a parliamentarian in the Legislative Council from 1957 until 1967 prior to the adoption of the 1967 constitution,  and at the time of his death was thought to be the longest serving Parliamentarian in the Caribbean. He was a founder of and the leader of the United Party, but after splitting from the party in 1971 went on to found the Virgin Islands Party.

Since Stoutt's death in 1995, a public holiday in the British Virgin Islands has been declared annually on the first Monday in the month of March in memory of his birthday.

The H. Lavity Stoutt Community College in Tortola bears his name.  Stoutt himself left school after his primary school education, and obituary writers have suggested that it was his own lack of a formal education which so strongly inspired him to create and promote opportunities for BVIslanders to further their own educations.

During his lifetime, Lavity Stoutt was extremely fond of the quote from Proverbs 29:18 — "Where there is no vision, the people perish", a phrase he would recite frequently when arguing in favour of development projects.

Electoral history

Lavity Stoutt's percentage of the votes in the 1990 general election remain records for a district seat in the British Virgin Islands (the margin of victory was a record at the time, but has since been surpassed).  Stoutt's 11 electoral victories are also a record.  Stoutt's 38 years as a parliamentarian was a record, but was surpassed by Ralph O'Neal in late 2013.

Orthocompact space

In mathematics, in the field of general topology, a topological space is said to be orthocompact if every open cover has an interior-preserving open refinement. 
That is, given an open cover of the topological space, there is a refinement that is also an open cover, with the further property that at any point, the intersection of all open sets in the refinement containing that point is also open.

If the number of open sets containing the point is finite, then their intersection is definitionally open. That is, every point-finite open cover is interior preserving. 
Hence, we have the following: every metacompact space, and in particular, every paracompact space, is orthocompact.

Useful theorems:
 Orthocompactness is a topological invariant; that is, it is preserved by homeomorphisms.
 Every closed subspace of an orthocompact space is orthocompact.
 A topological space X is orthocompact if and only if every open cover of X by basic open subsets of X has an interior-preserving refinement that is an open cover of X.
 The product X × [0,1] of the closed unit interval with an orthocompact space X is orthocompact if and only if X is countably metacompact. (B.M. Scott)       
 Every orthocompact space is countably orthocompact.
 Every countably orthocompact Lindelöf space is orthocompact.

Jay Traynor

John "Jay" Traynor (March 30, 1943 – January 2, 2014) was an American singer.

Career 
Traynor was the third lead vocalist of the Mystics, singing falsetto on "The White Cliffs of Dover", and lead on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Blue Star". Later, he started Jay and the Americans with Kenny Vance and Sandy Yaguda, and was the original lead singer. He sang lead on the group's first hit, "She Cried", which was followed up by the album She Cried. All recordings were produced by Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller, who produced numerous artists and wrote many hits for Elvis Presley, the Drifters, the Coasters, and many more.

Traynor left the Americans, releasing solo records, including "I Rise, I Fall" on the Coral label in 1964. His name on the label was denoted as "JAY ... formerly of Jay & the Americans". Later in the 1960s, he released "Up & Over", produced by Dennis Lambert for Don Costa Productions. The song became a big hit with the UK "Northern Soul" underground dance clubs. Traynor was replaced in the Americans by David Blatt, who agreed to perform under the stage name Jay Black. After working for Woodstock Ventures, the company that put on the Woodstock festival, Traynor began a career working behind the scenes with such 1970s acts as Mountain, West, Bruce & Laing, The Who, Ten Years After, Yes, and gospel singer Mylon LeFevre. In 1977, Traynor moved to Albany, New York, near his roots in Greenville and worked at WNYT as a studio camera operator. He then performed with cover bands (George and "Friends"), jazz trios, and finally as the singer with the Joey Thomas Big Band, where his love for Frank Sinatra's music began. The Big Band put out a few CDs with Traynor, including Live On WAMC & The Sinatra Show. In 2006, Traynor received a call from Jay Siegel, and he toured with Jay Siegel's Tokens for the remainder of his life.

Death 
Traynor died on January 2, 2014, of liver cancer at a hospital in Tampa, Florida, at the age of 70.

Phase switch

A phase switch is a device used to increase the discrimination and sensitivity of an interferometer, especially at radio frequencies; an extra half-wave path difference is switched in, at well defined frequency, between the two interfering signal sources. In-phase signals then become out of phase and vice versa, so that the signal output becomes modulated by the switching frequency, and can be more easily filtered from the internally generated noise. (The discrimination is highest for sources which are small compared with the interferometer-fringe spacing)

Its use in radio astronomy is generally credited to Martin Ryle, and used extensively in the 1C radio survey.

Jean Guichet

Jean Louis Marius Guichet (born 10 August 1927 in Marseille, France) is a French industrialist and former racing driver. He is best known for winning the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans with co-driver Nino Vaccarella, driving a Ferrari 275 P for Scuderia Ferrari.

Racing career
Guichet raced sports cars and rallied from 1948 through the late 1970s. He began his racing career as a self-funded independent driver but would later drive for teams including Scuderia Ferrari, the Abarth works team, Ecurie Filipinetti, Maranello Concessionaires, and NART.  

Guichet is also known as the first owner of 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO chassis number 5111GT, one of only 36 produced. He successfully raced this car, including an overall win of the 1963 Tour de France with co-driver José Behra. Following Guichet's sale of the car in 1965 and multiple subsequent ownership changes, this car was sold privately in September 2013 for $52,000,000 USD. This broke the then-current record for world's most expensive car.

Grandisol

Grandisol is a natural organic compound with the molecular formula C10H18O. It is a monoterpene containing a cyclobutane ring, an alcohol group, an alkene group and two chiral centers (one of which is quaternary).

Grandisol is a pheromone primarily important as the sex attractant of the cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis), from which it gets its name.  It is also a pheromone for other related insects.  The cotton boll weevil is an agricultural pest that can cause significant economic damage if not controlled.  Grandisol is the major constituent of the mixture known as grandlure, which is used to protect cotton crops from the boll weevil.

Synthesis
Grandisol was first isolated, identified, and synthesized by J. Tumlinson et al. at Mississippi State University in 1969. The most recent and highest yielding synthetic route to grandisol was reported in January 2010 by a group of chemists at Furman University. Though enantioselective syntheses have been reported, racemic grandisol has proven equally effective at attracting boll weevils as the natural enantiomer, rendering moot the need for enantioselective syntheses for agricultural purposes.

Supercompact space

In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is called supercompact if there is a subbasis such that every open cover of the topological space from elements of the subbasis has a subcover with at most two subbasis elements.  Supercompactness and the related notion of superextension was introduced by J. de Groot in 1967.

Examples
By the Alexander subbase theorem, every supercompact space is compact. Conversely, many (but not all) compact spaces are supercompact. The following are examples of supercompact spaces:
 Compact linearly ordered spaces with the order topology and all continuous images of such spaces
 Compact metrizable spaces (due originally to , see also )

 A product of supercompact spaces is supercompact (like a similar statement about compactness, Tychonoff's theorem, it is equivalent to the axiom of choice.)

Properties
Some compact Hausdorff spaces are not supercompact; such an example is given by the Stone–Čech compactification of the natural numbers (with the discrete topology).

A continuous image of a supercompact space need not be supercompact.

In a supercompact space (or any continuous image of one), the cluster point of any countable subset is the limit of a nontrivial convergent sequence.

Louis Krages

Louis Krages (born Klaus Louis Kragés, 2 August 1949 – 11 January 2001), more commonly known by his pseudonym John Winter, was a German racing driver and businessman.

Career
Krages used the racing pseudonym "John Winter" to prevent his family, mainly his mother, from learning about his hobby. As John Winter, he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1985 with the Porsche 956 of Joest Racing, with Klaus Ludwig and Paolo Barilla. Winter drove a single stint in the early hours of Sunday in support of his teammates. After the success and the publicity involved, his alter ego was revealed to his family when, the next day, his mother picked up a newspaper, with a picture of Krages on the rostrum.

Winter spent many seasons competing in the German Interserie series, usually racing privately entered Porsches, taking the title in 1986. Winter was also a regular entrant at Le Mans, competing 10 times at the race. Apart from his victory, his best finish was third in a Joest Racing Porsche 962 in 1988. He would also win the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1991 for Joest in the same car and also drove in the IMSA GTP until 1993, the year he won at Road America with Manuel Reuter, when the series ended, making the car obsolete.

In 1994, Winter, along with the team, defected to DTM, driving an Opel Calibra. In Round 10, Race 1 at AVUS, he was involved in fiery accident, in which his car disintegrated in a fireball. For the following year, driving a privateer Mercedes-Benz C-Class, he reverted to his real name, which he competed throughout the season and which was also his last.

Krages sold off his business and emigrated to Atlanta where he started up a toy business.

In 2001, suffering from problems in his business and from depression, he committed suicide in Atlanta, Georgia, by shooting himself,  at his home.
