Costa Beck

Costa Beck is a small river in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. It also lends its name to an archaeological site.

Watercourse
The source of Costa Beck is Keld Head Spring  west of Pickering. It is a tributary of the River Rye which joins the River Derwent, eventually flowing into the River Ouse at Barmby on the Marsh.
Costa Beck was used for ship transport by mills as early as 1200. It is a Scandinavian name meaning a river full of fish or full of life.

The waters of Costa Beck are noted for their crystal-clarity, and fly fishing is popular and available via Pickering Fishery Association www.pickeringfishery.co.uk. Trout, dace, grayling, salmon,  and pike can all be found in Costa Beck and  kingfishers can be seen flying above. 
The river farther downstream lies adjacent to Flamingo Land Theme Park and Zoo, where visitors occasionally come from to fish.

Archaeological site
John Kirk undertook excavations at the Costa Beck between 1925 and 1929 – these excavations were published by Mary Kitson Clark in 1931. The excavations showed the presence of an Iron Age and Romano-British lakeside settlement.

CERN Program Library

The CERN Program Library (CERNLIB) is a collection of general purpose software libraries and program modules for scientific computing, developed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN. The application area of the library focuses on physics research, in particular high energy physics,  involving general mathematics, data analysis, detectors simulation, data-handling, numerical analysis, and others, applicable to a wide range of scientific problems. Many modules are written in the FORTRAN 77 language.

The major fields covered by the libraries contained therein were:
 Elementary particle data
 Graphics and plotting
 Histograming
 I/O and structured data storage
 Numerical analysis
 Statistics and data analysis
 Detector simulation and Hadronic event generation

Lower-level parts of the CERN Program Library were most prominently used by the data analysis software Physics Analysis Workstation (PAW) and the detector simulation framework GEANT, both of which are also part of the CERN Program Library.

CERN Program Library used the year as its version, with not explicitly denoted minor revisions within a year. Besides legacy software dependency, for newer applications written in C++, CERNLIB is superseded by ROOT.

Status
Development and support for CERNLIB was discontinued in 2003. Libraries are still available "as is" "for ever" from the CERNLIB web site but with no new code, no user support and no port to IA-64.

Fourth and Vine Tower

The 4th & Vine Tower (formerly known as the Union Central Tower and Central Trust Bank Building) is a  skyscraper in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. It stands 31 stories tall, overlooking the Ohio River waterfront. It is easily one of the most recognizable buildings in the city's skyline, owing to the elaborate Hellenic architecture in the upper portion of the tower, which was modeled to resemble reconstructions of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Few PNC Bank employees now work in the 4th & Vine Tower today, as most report to the newer PNC Center. PNC Bank has the signage rights to the building, but PNC Tower is not the official name. It is officially the 4th & Vine Tower. The signage on the building was "Central Trust" until sometime after the Scripps Building was completed in 1990.

History
The site of the tower was previously occupied by the U.S. Post Office and Customs House and also at a later time by the Chamber of Commerce Building.

The 4th & Vine Tower was originally built as the headquarters for The Union Central Life Insurance Company, which moved out in 1964. At least four people died during the construction. When construction of the Cass Gilbert-designed building was completed in 1913, the Union Central Tower was the fifth-tallest building in the world and the 2nd tallest building (tallest office building) outside of New York City.  The building opened May 1, with final construction costs of approximately $3 million. It remained the tallest building in Cincinnati until 1930, when construction on the Carew Tower was completed.

The building, along with the nearby skyscraper, the Carew Tower, was featured in the opening and closing of the daytime drama The Edge of Night from 1967 to 1980.  Cincinnati had stood in as the show's locale, Monticello; the company that produced Edge, soap and consumer products maker Procter & Gamble, is based in Cincinnati. It was also featured in the opening and closing credits of the TV sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, although the show was produced in Hollywood.

In March 2021, the structure was announced to be the new home of 250 apartments, office spaces, and a 'city within a city' concept by City Club Apartments. Construction is underway.

Yamaha P-120

The Yamaha P-120 is a portable electronic piano, released in 2002.  The 88-key so-called "GH" keyboard is action-weighted, imitating the feel of a real piano. It includes several sample keyboard sounds, such as harpsichord, clavichord, vibraphone, guitar and more.  Basic sequencing and editing are built-in.

Customer service
Problems with keys sticking have been reported, caused by the plastic reacting with the grease used to form an adhesive-like substance. This has been recognised by Yamaha.
Yamaha originally offered to replace the key-bed (part cost only) if sticky keys were experienced. In 2012 this changed to labor cost only. On December 31, 2013, the replacement program ended, and customers paid both parts and labor from that date.

Features
Polyphony: 64
3 x 2-track sequencer
onboard 2x 12.5W speaker
metronome with different accents, from 32 to 280 bpm
14 sounds, 1 variation each, totalling 28

Princess Maria Anna Victoria of Savoy

Princess Maria Anna Victoria of Savoy (, (); 11 September 1683 – 11 October 1763) was the daughter of Prince Louis Thomas of Savoy, Count of Soissons, and Uranie de La Cropte de Beauvais (1655-1717).

Biography
As the daughter of Louis Thomas, Count of Soissons, she was styled Mademoiselle de Soissons or Mademoiselle de Carignan prior to her marriage. Her father had married at the age of twenty two far below his class and in secret Uranie de La Cropte de Beauvais, after the death of her husband Uranie retired into a monastery. Maria Anna Victoria was the niece of Prince Eugene of Savoy, the great general and statesman of imperial Austria, a patron of the arts whom she had never met. 

Upon Prince Eugene's sudden death in 1736, without a will or testament, Maria Anna Victoria as his closest relative inherited his immense possessions in Austria, which she then proceeded to quickly sell off at cut rate prices. His mansions, vast art collections (with an estimated 400 pictures), antique furniture, old masters, statues, even his wartime medals, the sword given to him by Anne, Queen of Great Britain, for his part in the War of the Spanish Succession and the portrait given to him by Emperor Joseph were sold; nothing was spared.  Only his library and his favourite palace, the Belvedere were purchased by the Emperor, while Schloss Hof and the Stadtpalais went to Maria Theresa.

The bitterness of every Austrian against Maria Anna Victoria as she proceeded with the liquidation was expressed in a couplet which was pinned on her door:

Embellished with her fantastic dowry, fifty-two-year-old Princess Maria Anna Victoria married on 17 April 1738 German officer and Feldzeugmeister of the Imperial Army Prince Joseph of Saxe-Hildburghausen, who was sixteen years younger than her, and led a life of lavish parties. The union ended in divorce in 1757 after Saxe-Hildburghausen was said to have ingloriously ran away. The couple had no children.

She then lived for a time in France, and eventually died in Turin, Italy, in 1763 at the age of 76.

Bukit Batok Bus Interchange

Bukit Batok Bus Interchange is an interchange bus station located at Block 631 Bukit Batok Central, Singapore, near West Mall Shopping Centre and Bukit Batok MRT station. The sheltered concourse is built underneath a multi-storey carpark similar in design to the old Serangoon Interchange.

The interchange has two vehicular concourse areas, North and South. The North concourse features five sawtooth berths, two of which are used for alighting and the remaining three for boarding, with queuing lanes installed. Buses park at a bus park opposite the passenger concourse, and separate ingress and egress lanes lead to Bukit Batok Central.

The South concourse features fifteen end-on berths, which are shared among five bus services. Two end-on berths are reserved for wheelchair boarding and alighting. A combined ingress and egress lane cuts underneath the interchange and leads to a junction with Bukit Batok Central. Both concourses are able to accommodate double-deck buses. It is currently operated by Tower Transit Singapore, which operates 10 services under the Bulim Bus Package.

History
The interchange was officially opened on 27 September 1987 and began operations two days later. It took over a terminal along Bukit Batok West Avenue 3.

In 1995, the bus package for all services (77, 173, 189, 361, 365, 367) was drawn under Bukit Batok Bus Package, and services were handed over between 18 June 2000 and 26 December 2000 from Singapore Bus Services to Trans-Island Bus Services which is now SMRT Buses. 61 was transferred from Paya Lebar Bus Package and 106 was transferred from Serangoon Bus Package in 2000.
 
In 2016, Tower Transit Singapore took over services 77, 106, 173, 177, 189, 941, 945, 947, 990 from SMRT Buses and operates the interchange under the Bulim Bus Package.

In 2018, SBS Transit took over service 852 from SMRT Buses under the Seletar Bus Package.

In 2021, Tower Transit Singapore took over service 944 from SMRT Buses under the Bulim Bus Package (2nd term).

Accident
On 11 July 2021, 17 people were injured after two buses collided at the bus interchange causing a bus to crash through the fence and landed on its side 2m down to adjacent ramp at around 5:05 pm. The bus driver was arrested the following day for a rach act causing grievous hurt with investigations being done.

Bus Contracting Model

Under the new bus contracting model, as all the bus routes are under the Bulim Bus Package, 61 and 991 come under the Choa Chu Kang-Bukit Panjang Bus Package. 852 comes under the Seletar Bus Package (SBS Transit). Bus service 944 was previously allocated to Bulim Bus Package under SMRT Buses. From 29 May 2021, Bus Service 944 is operated by Tower Transit Singapore, after the Land Transport Authority awarded the contract for the second term of Bulim Bus package to Tower Transit Singapore in September 2020.

Rogue Saucer

Rogue Saucer is a Star Trek: The Next Generation novel by John Vornholt.  Rogue Saucer specifically takes place between the 7th season of the television series and the movie Generations.

Plot
After an attack by the Maquis orchestrated by Ro Laren, the saucer section is damaged and in need of repairs. While at the dry dock facilities, Captain Picard receives new orders from Admiral Nechayev to test a new saucer section.

This new saucer section has been designed to be able to land on a planetary body and lift off from the surface, overcoming a reluctance by captains to carry out a saucer sep. The stardrive section of the Enterprise-D is attached to this new saucer, which is then taken out for field testing.  During the course of the mission, the saucer section is hijacked by Maquis operatives (one of whom is among Nechayev's test crew), who intend to re-dock it with the stardrive section and take it over, and Picard finds himself having to prevent the saucer and the technology contained within from falling into Maquis hands.

The saucer does make a controlled crash, under conditions not conducive to its recovery, on a planet with a primitive sentient culture that could one day discover the saucer at the bottom of its ocean, depending on how durable Starfleet metals are.

Meanwhile, Ro's hideaway is found by the Cardassians and attacked, leading to a narrow escape.

Sean Wight

John Phillip "Sean" Wight (15 March 1964 – 30 June 2011) was an Irish-Australian Australian rules footballer in the VFL/AFL.

He is a member of the Melbourne Football Club Hall of Fame and was named as one of the 150 Heroes of the club during the club's 150th celebrations.

The 185 cm tall, 85 kg Wight played for the Melbourne Football Club between 1985 and 1995, playing 150 games and scoring 63 goals.  He is not only the first player to be associated with the Irish experiment, but also considered to be one of its most successful products.

Early life
Wight was born in Glasgow Scotland to mother Peggy of Listowel and Scottish father John. As a 13 year old Sean moved with his family to his mother's native Listowel in Ireland in 1978 where he was raised in  where he took up gaelic football.

He played Gaelic football with the Kerry minor (Under-18) team which reached the final of the 1982 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship and with the Listowel Emmets club – the same club as Tadhg Kennelly.

Wight was scouted by the Melbourne Football Club's Ron Barassi and Barry Richardson on a visit to Ireland in 1982 as having the potential to play Australian rules football.

Wight was brought to Australia in 1983. He was part of an Under 19 VFL premiership side just weeks after his arrival from Ireland in 1983 and was widely hailed for his rapid conversion, though others who joined him from Ireland had much less success.

VFL/AFL career
Wight made his VFL debut in 1985 and became a regular backline player, recognisable with his trademark moustache.

Wight played in two Demons night premiership winning sides, in 1987 and 1989.

He began to develop a reputation as a dour defender, with an exceptional ability to not only spoil opponents marking attempts, but take high marks himself.

Wight, along with fellow recruit Jim Stynes was a member of Melbourne's 1988 VFL Grand Final team which lost to Hawthorn.

Retiring in 1995, Wight's career was somewhat overshadowed by Stynes, whose career in the midfield earned more accolades and media attention.

Death

Wight died on 30 June 2011 after a short battle with lung cancer.

Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) is specified by 3GPP in TS 25.323 for UMTS, TS 36.323 for LTE and TS 38.323 for 5G. PDCP is located in the Radio Protocol Stack in the UMTS/LTE/5G air interface on top of the RLC layer.

PDCP provides its services to the RRC and user plane upper layers, e.g. IP at the UE or to the relay at the base station. The following services are provided by PDCP to upper layers:
 transfer of user plane data;
 transfer of control plane data;
 header compression;
 ciphering;
 integrity protection.

The header compression technique can be based on either IP header compression (RFC 2507) or Robust Header Compression (RFC 3095). If PDCP is configured for No Compression it will send the IP Packets without compression; otherwise it will compress the packets according to its configuration by upper layer and attach a PDCP header and send the packet.

Different header formats are defined, dependent on the type of data to be transported. In LTE, there are e.g. header formats for Control Plane PDCP Data PDU with long PDCP SN (12 bits), for User plane PDCP Data PDU with short PDCP SN (7 bits) and others.

He had a long career with the Western Bulldogs before retiring in 2004. The balding Croft only received three senior appearances with the team in his final year, much to his dismay, as he was performing admirably in the VFL in defence with the Werribee Tigers. The Bulldogs agreed to allow him and fellow veteran Simon Garlick one final appearance in the Round 21 game against the Kangaroos, in which Croft booted 5 goals up forward, in a matchwinning performance.

Managing editor

A managing editor (ME) is a senior member of a publication's management team. Typically, the managing editor reports directly to the editor-in-chief and oversees all aspects of the publication.

United States
In the United States, a managing editor of a newspaper, magazine or other periodical publication oversees and coordinates the publication's editorial activities. The managing editor can hire, fire, or promote staff members. Other responsibilities include creating and enforcing deadlines. Most section editors will report to the managing editor. The ME must enforce policies set by the editor in chief. It is their job to approve stories for print or final copy. On matters of controversy, the ME decides whether to run controversial pieces. At a newspaper a managing editor usually oversees news operations while opinion pages are under separate editors.

In trade book publishing, the managing editor is typically a senior executive in the production department, responsible for overall supervision of the copy-editing, typesetting, proofreading and other steps in initial production, as well as supervision of the production process for reprints of existing titles.

In marketing departments, the managing editor is responsible for developing content marketing strategy and overseeing content production.

United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom a managing editor tends to manage budget, staffing, and scheduling for a publication, and may have equivalent ranking to a deputy editor in the organization's structure.

Television
The title also applies to the evening televised newscasts, such as those on ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, PBS, and the FOX News Channel. The anchors of these newscasts also work as the managing editor of their newscasts. Responsibilities vary in different companies. The managing editor – if a station has this position – manages the more day-to-day operations of the newsroom.

Atomic beam

Atomic beam is special case of particle beam; it is the collimated flux (beam) of neutral atoms. The imaging systems using the slow atomic beams can use the Fresnel zone plate (Fresnel diffraction lens) of a Fresnel diffraction mirror as focusing element. The imaging system with atomic beam could provide the sub-micrometre resolution.

History
In 1911, Louis Dunoyer observed sodium vapor 'rays' in a vacuum chamber. Learning from that experience, Otto Stern worked with Walther Gerlach to produce silver atom beams for their historic Stern–Gerlach experiment, providing the first evidence of atomic scale quantization.

In 1930, Immanuel Estermann and Stern reflected a helium beam from lithium fluoride observing the first atomic matter wave diffraction peaks in the reflected intensity.
