Geometric Description Language

In computer-aided design, Geometric Description Language (GDL) is the programming language of Archicad library parts. GSM is the file format of these CAD objects.

Area of usage

These objects are similar to blocks in AutoCAD, but unlike blocks, these are parametric, and the 2D and 3D features are connected, so in any view one can get the correct visualization (for example a side view on the section, top view on plan, and perspective in the 3D view). GDL scripts define an Archicad library part in its main roles, these are 3D model, 3D model projected to section/elevation or to 2D plan, 2D plan view, user interface display and behaviour and listing quantities.

All versions of the Archicad contain their own default libraries, also objects like furniture, windows, doors, trees, people, cars, construction elements, etc.

There are several commercial websites for selling high-detailed intelligent parametric objects, which are perhaps better and more variable than the default libraries, for example there are a lot of environmental objects like plants, people or garden elements, which are not included in the original software.

Licensing 

GDL is a free technology (although Archicad itself is a commercial software), it is allowed and possible to develop GDL based object libraries using free tools like Graphisoft LP_XMLConverter and Graphisoft GDL Web Plug-In (Discontinued).

Technical information 

The GDL programming language is BASIC-like. It has the same control flow statements and variable logic.

In 2D and 3D in GDL, all the model elements are linked to a local right-handed coordinate system. For placing an element in the desired position, you have to move the coordinate system to the desired position (and orientation), then generate the element itself. Every movement, rotation or stretching of the coordinate system is called a transformation. Transformations are stored in a stack, which can be extended by further transformations and can be cut by deleting one or more transformations from the top of it.

GDL maintains forward compatibility, which means that an Archicad library part will be readable with every subsequent Archicad program, but not necessarily with any earlier versions.

Dan Carlson

Daniel Steven Carlson (born January 26, 1970) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1996 through 1999, then played in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) during 2000. He is currently the assistant pitching coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Career
Carlson played college baseball at Mt. Hood Community College, a member of the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) based in Gresham, Oregon. He was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 33rd round of the 1989 MLB draft. Carlson played in Minor League Baseball from 1990 through 2001, appearing in 311 games (202 starts) while compiling a 105–69 win–loss record. He spent most of his career, parts of nine seasons, at the Triple-A level.

Carlson made his major-league debut in 1996 with the Giants, appearing in five games, then made six appearances with the Giants in 1997. In November 1997, he was selected by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 1997 MLB expansion draft. He made 10 appearances with Tampa Bay in 1998, became a free agent after the season,  then signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He made two appearances with Arizona during the 1999 season, his last in MLB. In 23 total major-league appearances, all in relief, Carlson registered one win and had a 6.70 earned run average (ERA), while striking out 37 batters in 47 innings pitched. He pitched briefly in Japan for the Chunichi Dragons during the 2000 season—appearing in two games in relief, he allowed no runs and one hit in  innings. While playing in Japan, he requested a leave of absence due to an illness in his family, but was granted his release and completed the season in Triple-A with the Tucson Sidewinders.

Carlson later served as the pitching coach for the Mobile BayBears, a Diamondbacks farm team, during 2007 and 2010–2013.

O Pagador de Promessas

O Pagador de Promessas (, Keeper of Promises) is a 1962 Brazilian drama film written and directed by Anselmo Duarte, based on the famous stage play of the same name by Dias Gomes. Shot in Salvador, Bahia, it stars Leonardo Villar.

It won the Palme d'Or at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first film by a Brazilian director to achieve that feat. A year later, it also became the first Brazilian and South American film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Plot
Zé do Burro (Leonardo Villar) is a landowner from Nordeste. His best friend is a donkey. When his donkey falls terminally ill, Zé promises to a Candomblé orisha, Iansan, that if his donkey recovers, he will give away his land to the poor and carry a cross all the way from his farm to the Saint Bárbara Church in Salvador, Bahia, where he will offer the cross to the local priest. Upon the recovery of his donkey, Zé leaves on his journey, a distance of 7 léguas (46 km; 29 miles). The movie begins as Zé, followed by his wife Rosa (Glória Menezes), arrives outside the church. The local priest (Dionísio Azevedo) refuses to accept the cross once he hears about Zé's "pagan" pledge and the reasons behind it. Everyone attempts to manipulate the innocent and naïve Zé. The local Candomblé worshippers, for example, want to use him as a leader against the discrimination they suffer from the Roman Catholic Church. The sensationalist newspapers transform his promise to give away his land into a "communist" call for land reform (which still is a very controversial issue in Brazil). When Zé is shot by the police to prevent his way into the church, the Candomblé worshippers put his dead body on the cross and force their way into the church.

Hinton Admiral railway station

Hinton Admiral railway station is a station serving the villages of Bransgore and Hinton and the seaside town of Highcliffe on the Hampshire/Dorset border in southern England. It is  down the line from .

The station is on the stretch of line opened in 1888 between Brockenhurst and Christchurch to provide a direct line from London to Bournemouth, bypassing the original "Castleman's Corkscrew" line via Ringwood and reducing that line to a backwater.

There is no village as such named Hinton Admiral. The station was originally named Hinton after the nearby village, but shortly after being opened was renamed Hinton Admiral to share its name with Hinton Admiral House, the residence of Sir George Tapps-Gervis-Meyrick who owned the land on which the station was built.

The station was host to a Southern Railway camping coach from 1938 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Southern Region from 1954 to 1960, the coach was replaced from 1961 to 1965 by a Pullman camping coach.

Services 
The station and all passenger train services calling here are operated by South Western Railway. The platforms are able to accommodate trains of up to five coaches (444 and 442 Stock) or six coaches (450 Stock), longer trains only open the doors in the first five or six coaches depending on the type of unit operating the service.

As of February 2022, the following services call here in both directions:
 Monday - Friday
 peak hours: 2 trains per hour on Poole - London Waterloo service, which some of them join / split at Southampton Central with a fast train for Weymouth
 off-peak: 1 train per hour on Bournemouth - Winchester stopping service
 Saturday
 1 train per hour on Poole - Winchester stopping service

Webu Sayadaw

Webu Sayadaw (, ; 17 February 1896 – 26 June 1977) was a Theravada Buddhist monk, and vipassanā master, best known for giving all importance to diligent practice, rather than scholastic achievement.

Early life
Ven. Webu Sayadaw was born to Daw Kyin Nu and U Lu Pe in 1896 in British Burma near Khin U township in modern-day Sagaing Division. He underwent the usual monk's training in the Pāli scriptures from the age of nine, when he became a novice, until he was twenty-seven. His monastic name was .

Monk and teacher
In 1923 (seven years after his ordination), he left the monastery and spent four years in solitude. He practiced (and later taught) the technique of Ānāpānasati (awareness of the in-breath and out-breath). He said that by working with this practice to a very deep level of concentration, one is able to develop Vipassanā (insight) into the essential characteristics of all experience: anicca (impermanence), anatta (egolessness) and dukkha (unsatisfactoriness). According to Roger Bischof, on return from his four years of seclusion, he said, regarding Ānāpānasati: "This is a shortcut to Nibbana, anyone can use it. It stands up to investigation and is in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha as conserved in the scriptures. It is the straight path to Nibbana." Ven. Webu Sayadaw was famous for his unflagging diligence in meditation and for spending most of his time in solitude. He was reputed to be an arahant (fully enlightened one), and it is said that he never slept.

For the first fifty-seven years of his life, Ven. Webu Sayadaw stayed in upper Burma, dividing his time among three meditation centres in a small area. After his first trip to Rangoon in 1953 to visit the International Meditation Centre at the invitation of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, he included southern Burma in his travels, visiting there to teach and meditate from time to time. He also went on pilgrimage to India and Sri Lanka. Ven. Webu Sayadaw spent his final days at the meditation centre in the village where he was born. He died on 26 June 1977, at the age of eighty-one.

Apple Silentype

The Apple Silentype is Apple Computer, Inc.'s first printer, announced in 1979 and released in March 1980 for US$599, shortly after the Apple II Plus. The Silentype's firmware was written by Andy Hertzfeld, who later worked on the Apple Macintosh. The Silentype is a thermal printer, which uses a special paper and provides 80-column output. It was also compatible with the Apple III.  

The Silentype's many dramatic advantages over other printers at the time, including silent operation, very small size, print speed and reliability, were especially well-suited for its use in the nascent point-of-sale and hospitality industries. The Silentype was the first printer to be used in any restaurant as a point-of-sale remote requisition printer to speed service. The broadening use of printers in the hospitality industry subsequently played a key role in the advancement of efficiency throughout the hospitality industry worldwide. The typical point-of-sale hospitality printer in use today, forty years later, is a thermal printer that still mimics the way the Silentype was used when it was introduced in 1980.

Communist Party of Spain (international) (1975)

The Communist Party of Spain (international) (, ) was formed in 1975 after a split of the PCE(i)-Linea proletaria took again the name of PCE(i), used by the Spanish Labour Party until 1974. The PCE(i) defended the independence of the oppressed peoples of Spain, specially the Catalan one, from a working-class viewpoint. The PCE(i) had its main stronghold in Barcelona. The party was illegal for all of its existence, and defended urban guerrilla tactics.

Ideology
Its ideological basis were Leninism and Maoism. The PCE(i) was in favor of low-intensity urban guerrilla, and was contrary to political reforms and defended the independence of Catalonia, the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands.

They were always an illegal and underground organization. Its symbol in Catalonia was the red estelada.

History
The influence of the PCE(i) the streets of Barcelona was remarkable because of the riots produced in their demonstrations against riot police. The PCE(i) began to decline following the death of its (unarmed) member Gustau Muñoz, shot by the Spanish police during a demonstration in Barcelona in 1978. The facts and the responsibilities of this death were never clarified. After this death numerous members of the party were arrested and imprisoned, leaving the party in a very difficult situation. The same year another member of the party, Jordi Martínez de Foix i Llorenç, died while manipulating an explosive device. Socors Català and other organizations said that they doubted the veracity of the official version. The public funeral of Jordi was banned.

After 1978 the PCE(i) gradually disappeared by the arrest of most of its members and the dismantling of the party structures. Some members of the party were sentenced to long prison terms without specific reason. The party was never officially dissolved, but its generally considered to be totally disarticulated at the end of 1980. In 1983 a judge recognized that three members of the party arrested in Valladolid in 1980 had been tortured by the police. In 1985 the direction of the party (all of them in jail at the time) was absolved of unlawful association and released.

Railway Foundry

The Railway Foundry, Leeds, was a railway engineering workshop off Pearson Street, in Hunslet, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was established in 1838 by Shepherd and Todd. Charles Todd had been a partner in Todd, Kitson & Laird but left to set up his own business in 1838, setting up the Railway Foundry with a Mr. Shepherd to build locomotives and rolling stock.

Locomotives
The first order came in 1839 and in the following two years, they built a number of locomotives for the North Midland Railway, the Manchester and Leeds Railway and for one in France. These were either small four-coupled or 2-2-2 locos. However, in 1840 they built two six-foot singles for the Hull and Selby Railway. The latter had Gray's patent dog-leg valve gear and were, apart from another built experimentally by the Haigh Foundry, among the first to use expansive working. Further engines were made for the Hull and Selby, two 0-6-0s and two singles for the York and North Midland Railway.

Formation of Fenton, Craven and Company
Todd left the partnership in 1844 to be replaced by E.B. Wilson. He in turn left after a year and the company was taken over in 1846 by James Fenton, formerly a partner in Fenton, Murray and Jackson to become Fenton, Craven and Company.

The company continued building mostly Stephenson long boiler locomotives, some 2-2-2 followed by outside-cylindered 2-4-0 with the firebox behind the wheels. They were extremely unstable due to the long overhang at each end. The six-coupled engines for goods work were more successful since speed was not a requirement.

Formation of E. B. Wilson and Company

At the end of 1846 the partnership collapsed, Fenton staying with the company with E. B. Wilson, who returned to form a new company E. B. Wilson and Company.

Railway Foundry, Barnsley
The Railway Foundry, Barnsley, was a separate concern, owned by Mr Longbottom. A previous version of this page said that he was the father of Luke Longbottom, who was Locomotive Superintendent of the North Staffordshire Railway from 1882 to 1902. However this seems unlikely as Luke Longbottom said in an interview with the Railway Magazine that his father was employed as engineer of Marshall's flax mill in Leeds for fifty years and this is backed up by the census returns for Leeds

Adolf Hedin

Sven Adolf Hedin (23 April 1834 – 20 September 1905) was a Swedish newspaper publisher, writer and politician. He was known for his advocacy for democratic and social reforms.

Biography
Hedin was born in Bo Parish (now part of Hallsberg Municipality) in Örebro County, Sweden. He was the son of vicar Johan Gustaf Hedin and Beata Elisabeth Vesterberg. He earned a B.A. from Uppsala University in 1861 and worked thereafter as a critic for Upsala-Posten. In 1864 he moved to Stockholm to work as a publisher for several newspapers. He worked for some time at Dagens Nyheter and was the executive editor of Aftonbladet from 1874 to 1876.

In 1870 Hedin was elected a member of the lower house of the Swedish parliament. He continued as a Member of Parliament until his death, with the exception for the years 1874 to 1876 (when he was editor of Aftonbladet) and 1888. During the 1870s, Hedin argued for universal suffrage and military conscription.

In foreign policy, Hedin was known for his support for Scandinavism. He initially supported the Swedish-Norwegian union. However, at the union crisis in 1905 he supported the Norwegian demands for independence and in his last public statement he urged for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Sengai

was a Japanese monk of the Rinzai school (one of three main schools of Zen Buddhism in Japan, the others being the Sōtō school and the much smaller Ōbaku school). He was known for his controversial teachings and writings, as well as for his lighthearted sumi-e paintings. After spending half of his life in Nagata near Yokohama, he secluded himself in Shōfuku-ji in Fukuoka, the first Zen temple in Japan, where he spent the rest of his life.

Though the Rinzai sect is particularly known for its hard-to-understand teachings, Sengai tried to make them accessible to the public.

Works
One of his most notable paintings depicts a circle, a square and a triangle. Sengai left the painting without a title or inscription, save for his signature. The painting is often called "Maru-Sankaku-Shikaku", written as "〇△□", or "The Universe" when referred to in English.

Siege of Kanegasaki (1570)

The 1570  occurred during Oda Nobunaga's struggle against the Asakura clan in Echizen province, which was allied with Azai Nagamasa.

Asakura Yoshikage, head of the Asakura clan was the regent of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, refused to come to Kyôto and attend a certain banquet, an act Nobunaga declared Asakura clan disloyal to both the shogun and the emperor. Nobunaga raised an army and marched on Echizen.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi, one of Nobunaga's chief generals, led the attack on the fortress of Kanegasaki held by Maeba Yoshitsugu. Azai Nagamasa, who had been Asakura's longtime ally, led an army to relief the Kanagasaki castle with the help of the Rokkaku clan and Ikkō-ikki. Nobunaga found himself surrounded by Azai-Asakura, Rokkaku and Ikkō-ikki forces. When defeat looked certain, Nobunaga successfully retreated from Kanagasaki castle. This act was the first mark of Nagamasa's betrayal of the Oda clan.

Aftermath
The fighting retreat at Kanegasaki enabled Nobunaga to once more cheat death, and to amass an army which would be victorious against the Azai-Asakura army at the Battle of Anegawa. Ikeda Katsumasa led 3,000 soldier and helped Nobunaga escape. Akechi Mitsuhide joined Hideyoshi to serve as the rear-guard for the departing forces. Hideyoshi's rear defense for his lord's escape is one of his fabled accomplishments under Nobunaga.

Belarmino Tomás

Belarmino Tomás Álvarez (29 April 1892 – 14 September 1950) was a socialist politician.

A secretary of the Sindicato Minero Asturiano (the local coal miners' branch of the Unión General de Trabajadores, UGT), and a delegate to the International Miners' Federation. As a prominent labor organizer, Tomás led militias formed by workers during the "Revolution of Asturias" of October 1934, being the president of the new revolutionary state (5-15 of October). He was a revolutionary not just to face only the right-wing government, but also the Second Spanish Republic. He subsequently took part in the elections of 1936 as a candidate for the Popular Front, being elected a deputy with the election victory the Front carried.

When the Spanish Civil War erupted, Belarmino Tomás led the miners' militias attacking Oviedo (held by Antonio Aranda's forces). He was voted President of the Consejo Soberano de Asturias y León upon its creation on August 24, 1937. In Gijón on October 20, the day the city was taken by Galician rebel forces, Tomás left for the Republican zone and begun Comisario General del Aire (general comisaire of the airforce), exiling himself when the Popular Front was defeated in early 1939. He was also popular because of the belarminos, the money that was used in his declared state during his presidency.

Institute Vienna Circle / Vienna Circle Society

The Institute Vienna Circle (IVC) ("Society for the Advancement of the Scientific World Conception") was founded in October 1991 as an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the work and influence of the Vienna Circle of Logical Empiricism. Since 2011 the IVC was established as a subunit (Department) of the Faculty of Philosophy and Education at the University of Vienna. In 2016 the title of the co-existing society was changed to "Vienna Circle Society" (VCS), which entertains a close co-operation with the IVC. The Institute’s founder and scientific director of the VCS is Friedrich Stadler, who serves as a permanent fellow of the IVC in parallel.

Objectives
Its goal is the documentation and continued development of the Vienna Circle's work in science and public education, areas that have been neglected until now, as well as the maintenance and application of logical-empirical, critical-rational and linguistic analytical thought and construction of a scientific philosophy and world view in conjunction with general socio-cultural trends. One of the Institute's main objectives is to democratize knowledge and science as a process of enlightenment, counteracting all forms of irrational, dogmatic or fundamentalist thought, in a societal context and taking into account the latest developments in international research.

Activities
 The organisation of a large number of international workshops, conferences and seminars on the Vienna Circle, the philosophy of science and related topics.
 Publication of a number of books within book series in German and English: Vienna Circle Institute Yearbook, the book series Vienna Circle Institute Library, the book series Wissenschaftliche Weltauffassung und Kunst, the book series Veröffentlichungen des Instituts Wiener Kreis.
 Research projects: Moritz Schlick edition project in cooperation with the University of Rostock, Ernst Mach edition project. Numerous completed and ongoing research projects.
 The IVC/VCS is involved in the doctoral programme The Sciences in Historical, Philosophical, and Cultural Contexts and the master study programme History and Philosophy of Science.
 Since 2001 the IVC/VCS organises the annual Vienna International Summer University – Scientific World Conceptions / University of Vienna Summer School (USS-SWC).
 In 2015 the IVC/VCS organised the first exhibition on the Vienna Circle at the University of Vienna.

Library
The IVC hosts a unique research library of outstanding value to researchers all over the world. It includes jewels such as the Otto Neurath's Exile Library, the Robert S. Cohen Collection and Archives, the Kurt Blaukopf Library, the Kurt R. Fischer Library, the Eugene T.

Arthur Fairclough (football manager)

Arthur Fairclough (born March 1873 in Barnsley, England) was the manager of Barnsley, Huddersfield Town, and Leeds United.  He won the FA Cup with Barnsley and the Football League Second Division with Leeds United.

He started his managerial career with Barnsley, being there between 1898 until 1901. He was replaced by John McCartney until 1904, when he came back as manager until 1912, and won the FA Cup with them in his last season in charge (of his 2nd spell). After his success at Barnsley, he was persuaded to join Huddersfield where he laid the groundwork for the success to be achieved by Herbert Chapman. When Huddersfield chairman Hilton Crowther decided that a Leeds-based team would be a better vehicle for his attentions, he persuaded his manager to move with him, and so Fairclough took over from Dick Ray as Leeds United manager for the club's first full season in the Football League. Fairclough put together a useful team, and in 1923-24 he saw his side win promotion to the First Division. The following year saw the signing of the goal-scoring talents of Tom Jennings and Russell Wainscoat, to stand alongside the defensive abilities of Ernest Hart and Tom Townsley. Despite Jennings astonishing haul of 35 goals in 42 games, 1926-27 saw the side relegated and Fairclough resigned in the close season. He briefly returned to management with Barnsley in 1929, but resigned after a year in the job.
