Heritage station

In commercial radio, a heritage station is an AM radio station that has broadcast a specific format for a sustained period of time, since its beginning; usually since the 1930s or 1940s, in some cases the 1920s.  Also, the call letters will have remained the same for most of the station's life.

The "heritage station" term is sometimes used to describe some FM radio stations that have broadcast a specific format for a sustained time, usually since the 1970s or 1980s or earlier.  The term is often used to describe Top 40 (CHR) FM stations that have retained the same format and branding for decades.

Heritage stations are usually recognized by the listening public as the dominant (or only) AM station broadcasting said format in each market. Heritage stations keep their call letters and/or brands intact for decades.

In most cases, there is only one heritage AM station per market. However, there may be more, in the case of multiple stations who have been competing for years.  Some examples of major market heritage AM stations include KOA Denver, WJR Detroit, KDKA Pittsburgh, WOI and WHO Des Moines, WBZ Boston, WSB Atlanta, WGN and  WLS in Chicago, and KMOX St. Louis.

Some examples of major market heritage FM stations include WQHT, WHTZ and WLTW in New York City, KLOS, KIIS, KOST, and KROQ-FM in Los Angeles, WBBM-FM, WGCI-FM and WCKL in Chicago, KRBE in Houston, WSB-FM in Atlanta, WIL-FM in St. Louis, and KQRS and KDWB in Minneapolis. In the UK, heritage radio stations include Clyde 1 in Glasgow, Pulse 1 in West Yorkshire,  Radio City in Liverpool and Capital Radio in London. 

However, there are many more heritage stations across the US in cities big and small.

Often, these smaller daytimer stations are the true heritage stations, as they were once the only local voice in many communities for decades; true pioneers despite having to sign off at sunset—many still have their original call letters. Today, the FCC has given new life to many formerly daytime only AM channels, by allowing nighttime power at greatly reduced levels.  This allows many stations to broadcast 24/7, often with astonishing nighttime coverage.  There is a great variety of programming on AM radio for the listener to discover. Also see PSRA and PSSA.

HMS Belton

HMS Belton was a  of the Royal Navy, launched on 3 October 1955 at Doigs Shipyard, Grimsby.

Belton joined the Fishery Protection Squadron in 1958, and remained part of the Squadron in 1962. Belton ran aground in Loch Maddy, North Uist in the Outer Hebrides on 23 October 1971. She was eventually refloated and taken to Greenock in Scotland but was found to be beyond economical repair. Although she never put to sea under her own power again, it was not until 25 November 1974 that she was sold for disposal.

Long Josephson junction

In superconductivity, a long Josephson junction (LJJ) is a Josephson junction which has one or more dimensions longer than the Josephson penetration depth . This definition is not strict.

In terms of underlying model a short Josephson junction is characterized by the Josephson phase , which is only a function of time, but not of coordinates i.e. the Josephson junction is assumed to be point-like in space. In contrast, in a long Josephson junction the Josephson phase can be a function of one or two spatial coordinates, i.e.,  or .

Simple model: the sine-Gordon equation
The simplest and the most frequently used model which describes the dynamics of the Josephson phase  in LJJ is the so-called perturbed sine-Gordon equation. For the case of 1D LJJ it looks like:

where subscripts  and  denote partial derivatives with respect to  and ,  is the Josephson penetration depth,  is the Josephson plasma frequency,  is the so-called characteristic frequency and  is the bias current density  normalized to the critical current density . In the above equation, the r.h.s. is considered as perturbation.

Usually for theoretical studies one uses normalized sine-Gordon equation:

where spatial coordinate is normalized to the Josephson penetration depth  and time is normalized to the inverse plasma frequency . The parameter  is the dimensionless damping parameter ( is McCumber-Stewart parameter), and, finally,  is a normalized bias current.

Important solutions
 Small amplitude plasma waves. 
 Soliton (aka fluxon, Josephson vortex):

Here ,  and  are the normalized coordinate, normalized time and normalized velocity. The physical velocity  is normalized to the so-called Swihart velocity , which represent a typical unit of velocity and equal to the unit of space  divided by unit of time .

1939 NCAA basketball tournament

The 1939 NCAA basketball tournament involved eight schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.  It was the first NCAA basketball national championship tournament, although it was operated by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) at the time.

The tournament began on March 17 and ended with the championship game on March 27 on Northwestern University's campus in Evanston, Illinois. A total of eight games were played, including a single third-place game in the West region. The East region did not hold a third-place game until 1941, and there was no national third-place game until 1946.

Oregon, coached by Howard Hobson, won the national title with a 46–33 victory in the final game over Ohio State, coached by Harold Olsen.  Jimmy Hull of Ohio State was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

Despite its success in this first tournament, Oregon would not make another Final Four until 2017.

Malimba Masheke

Malimba Masheke (born 17 June 1941 in Senanga District, Zambia) is a Zambian politician. He served as the 6th and last Prime Minister of the country from 15 March 1989 to 31 August 1991. Masheke became Prime Minister when the previous Prime Minister Kebby Musokotwane was removed and given an overseas diplomatic post as then-President Kenneth Kaunda believed that Musokotwane was aiming to replace him and take over Zambia as the next President. The role was abolished in 1991 when Zambia adopted a new Constitution owing to discussions between United National Independence Party (the only legal polictial party in Zambia at the time) and Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (an opposition party) to allow for multi-party elections to be held later the same year. The powers that Prime Minister Masheke had were subsumed back into the office of President starting from after the new President was elected in the 1991 Zambian general election. The Constitution also allowed Masheke remain Prime Minister for the period in-between the adoption of the Constitution and the general election.  According to Masheke in an interview with Zambian media in 2018, at the time the title was abolished, he was paid less as Prime Minister than he paid his private secretary. He had previously been Minister of Defence from 1985 to 1988 and Minister of Home Affairs from 1988 to 1989.

Thomas Sidey

Sir Thomas Kay Sidey (27 May 1863 – 20 May 1933) was a New Zealand politician from the Otago region, remembered for his successful advocacy of daylight saving time.

Early life
Sidey was born on 27 May 1863, to John and Johan Murray Sidey, in the Dunedin suburb of Corstorphine. His father had come to wealth during the Otago Gold Rush as a storekeeper. Tom Sidey attended Otago Boys' High School and graduated from the University of Otago with a law degree (LLB) in 1889. In the following decade, he worked as a solicitor.

He married Helena (née Baxter) on 17 June 1903. They had one son.

Political career

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Sidey was a member of the Caversham Borough Council. He was elected Mayor of Caversham on three occasions: in 1894, 1899 and 1901.

Sidey was elected to the House of Representatives in the Caversham by-election as an independent liberal in 1901. The by-election was caused by the death of Arthur Morrison. Sidey joined the Liberal Party as part of its left (radical) wing, and stayed with the party until the end.

Sidey represented the Caversham electorate from 1901 to 1908, and then the Dunedin South electorate from 1908 to 1928, when he retired. He was then appointed to the Legislative Council from 1928 until 1933.

Sidey was Attorney-General (1928–31) and Minister of Justice (1930–31) in the United government.

Sidey put forward a private member's bill for putting clocks forward an hour in summer every year from 1909. It was nearly passed in 1915. It was passed in the House of Representatives but rejected by the Legislative Council in 1926. It was finally approved in 1927.

In the 1930 New Year Honours, Sidey was appointed a Knight Bachelor.

Death
Sidey died at home on 20 May 1933. He was survived by his wife and son, Stuart Sidey. His son became Mayor of Dunedin from 1959 to 1965. His widow, Helena, Lady Sidey, was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for social welfare services, especially in connection with women's organisations, in the 1953 Coronation Honours. The Royal Society of New Zealand awards the T. K. Sidey Medal at irregular intervals for "outstanding scientific research".

Jim Jackson (born March 23, 1963) is an American professional sportscaster. He currently serves as the TV play-by-play announcer for the Philadelphia Flyers. Jackson formerly did radio play-by-play broadcasting duties for the 4th and 5th innings of Phillies home games.

Philadelphia Flyers
Jackson, an Upstate New York native, started his professional career broadcasting for the Utica Devils after graduating from Syracuse University. In 1993, he became the radio play-by-play broadcaster for the Philadelphia Flyers, replacing Gene Hart, who had gone back onto television. Two seasons later, Jackson was promoted to the television side where he remains to this day. He has been the play-by-play voice of the Flyers on television for 26 seasons, now covering the games on NBC Sports Philadelphia with Keith Jones.

Philadelphia Phillies and other experience
Beginning in 2007, Jackson took on pre-game and post-game host duties for Philadelphia Phillies radio broadcasts, occasionally providing play-by-play if another member of the broadcast crew was absent. In 2010, his role was expanded to include play-by-play during the fourth and fifth innings of all regular season home games that did not conflict with his Flyers schedule. He has previous baseball experience as radio play-by-play voice of the Utica Blue Sox of the New York–Penn League from 1986 to 1993 and of the Eastern League's Trenton Thunder in 2005. He has also called college football, basketball, and lacrosse during his broadcasting tenure. He was laid off in 2020.

Personal life
Jackson has two children, Deanna, born 1997, and Johnny, born 2000. He lives in Gloucester Township, New Jersey.

Elworth

Elworth is a village in the county of Cheshire, located in the North West of England, and is a suburb of the town of Sandbach, located approximately one mile eastward.

Elworth is known for its industrial past, having historically been the home of Foden's HGV manufacturers. The village also features two churches, Mount Pleasant Methodist Church and St Peter's Church of England, the latter of which was designed by George Gilbert Scott, noted for having also designed St Pancras railway station in London; Elworth also features Sandbach railway station, which serves the line between Sandbach, Crewe and Manchester.

History
In February 2010, St. Peter's Church Hall – the village's former school, and adjacent to St. Peter's church itself – was significantly damaged by a fire, the cause of which was, though never determined, thought to be electrical. The church hall had previously been used as a community centre, hosting a pre-school nursery, an after-school club, and many other community groups. Following a consultation, it was decided to demolish the original building, which had been deemed too badly damaged to be reparable, and to rebuild a new, purpose built hall in its place.

Work began in early 2011 with clearing the site, and building work began in May of the same year. The church hall officially re-opened in March 2012. The Methodist Church, nearby to St Peter's, continues to host the Boys' Brigade, Brownies, Under 4s, a painting group, badminton, pilates, Zumba, Tuesday coffee and light lunches, Thursday evening all-sorts and line dancing.

Culture

Sports and recreation
One of the main sports played in Elworth is cricket; Elworth Cricket Club, based on London Road, play in the Premier Division of the ECB North Staffs & South Cheshire Cricket league. The club's junior section is recognised locally as one of the best in Cheshire. The club fields teams at 1st, 2nd and 3rd XI level for its senior players. For the juniors, the club has teams at U9, 11, 13, 15 and 18 levels. The club has achieved Clubmark and Focus Club status, and has strong links with local schools.

The club celebrated its 100th year in 2013; in the same year, after 86 years as tenants, the club purchased their home ground from its previous owners. The current Elworth professional is Yasir Ali. The club's 1st XI captain is Russell Ballard, supported by Alex Banks. Scott Elliot continues as 2nd XI captain.

Elworth also features a Sunday league football team, Elworth Park Rangers Football Club. Formed in 2016 and based at the local Fox Inn Pub, the team play in the Crewe Regional Sunday Football League Premier Division, having finished in 3rd in Division One, gaining promotion in the 2017/2018 season.

Education
Elworth features two Primary Schools – Elworth CofE and Elworth Hall Primary School. At Secondary level, the village is served by two high schools based in Sandbach, Sandbach School and Sandbach High School & Sixth Form College.

Fillrate

In computer graphics, a video card's pixel fillrate refers to the number of pixels that can be rendered on the screen and written to video memory in one second. Pixel fillrates are given in megapixels per second or in gigapixels per second (in the case of newer cards), and are obtained by multiplying the number of render output units (ROPs) by the clock frequency of the graphics processing unit (GPU) of a video card. 

A similar concept, texture fillrate, refers to the number of texture map elements (texels) the GPU can map to pixels in one second. Texture fillrate is obtained by multiplying the number of texture mapping units (TMUs) by the clock frequency of the GPU. Texture fillrates are given in mega or gigatexels per second.

However, there is no full agreement on how to calculate and report fillrates. Another possible method is to multiply the number of pixel pipelines by the GPU's clock frequency.
The results of these multiplications correspond to a theoretical number. The actual fillrate depends on many other factors. In the past, the fillrate has been used as an indicator of performance by video card manufacturers such as ATI and NVIDIA, however, the importance of the fillrate as a measurement of performance has declined as the bottleneck in graphics applications has shifted. For example, today, the number and speed of unified shader processing units has gained attention.

Scene complexity can be increased by overdrawing, which happens when an object is drawn to the frame buffer, and another object (such as a wall) is then drawn on top of it, covering it up. The time spent drawing the first object is thus wasted because it isn't visible. When a sequence of scenes is extremely complex (many pixels have to be drawn for each scene), the frame rate for the sequence may drop. When designing graphics intensive applications, one can determine whether the application is fillrate-limited (or shader limited) by seeing if the frame rate increases dramatically when the application runs at a lower resolution or in a smaller window.

1950 NCAA basketball tournament

The 1950 NCAA basketball tournament involved 8 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA college basketball. It began on March 23, 1950, and ended with the championship game on March 28 in New York City, New York. A total of 10 games were played, including a third place game in each region and a national third place game.

CCNY, coached by Nat Holman, won the national title with a 71–68 victory in the final game over Bradley, coached by Forddy Anderson. Irwin Dambrot of CCNY was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.  CCNY became the only team to ever win both the NIT and NCAA tournaments in the same year.  Because of participation changes, this currently cannot happen.  CCNY is also the only championship team which is not currently a member of Division I. They dropped down to the NCAA College Division in the 1963–64 season. The CCNY point shaving scandal of 1950–51 had hit the program hard, and they had 12 sub-par seasons from 1951–52 through 1962–63 before dropping down to the College Division.

The 1950 tournament was the last tournament to feature eight teams.  The field would expand to sixteen teams the next year.

Dokimasia

In Ancient Greece, dokimasia (Greek: δοκιμασία) was the name used at Athens to denote the process of ascertaining the capacity of the citizens for the exercise of public rights and duties.

If, for instance, a young citizen was to be admitted among the epheboi, he was examined in an assembly of his district to find out whether he was descended on both sides from Athenian citizens, and whether he possessed the physical capacity for military service. All officials, too—even the members of the Boule, the Council of 500—had to submit to an examination before entering upon their office. The purpose of this was to ascertain not their actual capacity for the post, which was presupposed in all candidates, but their descent from Athenian citizens, their life and character, and (in the case of some offices which involved the administration of large sums) even the amount of their property.

The examination was carried on in public by the archons in the presence of the Boule, and anyone present had the right to raise objections. If such objections were held to be valid, the candidate was rejected; but he had the right to appeal the decision to a court, which would take cognizance of the matter in judicial form. On the other hand, if he were accepted, anyone who thought his claims insufficient had the right of instituting judicial proceedings against him. If the decision was adverse, he would lose his office and be further liable to punishment depending on the offence—which could be, for instance, that of unlawfully assuming the rights of a citizen.

A speaker in a public assembly might thus be brought before a court by any citizen, for only one possessing the full right of citizenship could legally address the people. The question might thus be raised whether the orator were not actually atimos, or guilty of an offence which involved atimia.

Docimasia may also refer to the lung float test.
