Cochrane–Orcutt estimation

Cochrane–Orcutt estimation is a procedure in econometrics, which adjusts a linear model for serial correlation in the error term. Developed in the 1940s, it is named after statisticians Donald Cochrane and Guy Orcutt.

Theory
Consider the model

where  is the value of the dependent variable of interest at time t,  is a column vector of coefficients to be estimated,  is a row vector of explanatory variables at time t, and  is the error term at time t.

If it is found, for instance via the Durbin–Watson statistic, that the error term is serially correlated over time, then standard statistical inference as normally applied to regressions is invalid because standard errors are estimated with bias. To avoid this problem, the residuals must be modeled. If the process generating the residuals is found to be a stationary first-order autoregressive structure, , with the errors {} being white noise, then the Cochrane–Orcutt procedure can be used to transform the model by taking a quasi-difference:

In this specification the error terms are white noise, so statistical inference is valid.  Then the sum of squared residuals (the sum of squared estimates of ) is minimized with respect to , conditional on .

Inefficiency
The transformation suggested by Cochrane and Orcutt disregards the first observation of a time series, causing a loss of efficiency that can be substantial in small samples. A superior transformation, which retains the first observation with a weight of  was first suggested by Prais and Winsten, and later independently by Kadilaya.

Estimating the autoregressive parameter
If  is not known, then it is estimated by first regressing the untransformed model and obtaining the residuals {}, and regressing  on , leading to an estimate of  and making the transformed regression sketched above feasible. (Note that one data point, the first, is lost in this regression.) This procedure of autoregressing estimated residuals can be done once and the resulting value of  can be used in the transformed y regression, or the residuals of the residuals autoregression can themselves be autoregressed in consecutive steps until no substantial change in the estimated value of  is observed.

It has to be noted, though, that the iterative Cochrane–Orcutt procedure might converge to a local but not global minimum of the residual sum of squares. This problem disappears when using the Prais–Winsten transformation instead, which keeps the initial observation.

Ethephon

Ethephon is a plant growth regulator.

Mechanism of action
Upon metabolism by the plant, it is converted into ethylene, a potent regulator of plant growth and ripeness. It is also a butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Uses in various crops 

Ethephon often used on wheat, coffee, tobacco, cotton, and rice in order to help the plant's fruit reach ripeness more quickly.

Cotton is the most important single crop use for ethephon. It initiates fruiting over a period of several weeks, promotes early concentrated boll opening, and enhances defoliation to facilitate and improve efficiency of scheduled harvesting. Harvested cotton quality is improved.

Ethephon also is widely used by pineapple growers to initiate reproductive development (force) of pineapple. Ethephon is also sprayed on mature-green pineapple fruits to degreen them to meet produce marketing requirements. There can be some detrimental effect on fruit quality.

The toxicity of ethephon is very low, and any ethephon used on the plant is converted very quickly to ethylene.

The use of this chemical is allowed in the European Union.

Robert D. Raiford

Robert D. Raiford (December 27, 1927 – November 17, 2017) was an American radio broadcaster and actor, best known for his political/social commentaries delivered during The John Boy and Billy Big Show, a morning radio program heard on stations throughout the American South. He was from Concord, North Carolina and majored in communication at the University of South Carolina. Raiford got his start in broadcasting in 1944 by calling play by play at baseball games. His first real radio job was at WEGO (AM) in Concord, North Carolina. Raiford has appeared in 28 movies, often portraying judge characters. He frequently closed his commentaries with the line "Who says that? I say that!", which also served as the title of a book containing excerpts from these segments. Early in his career, Raiford worked for WTOP radio and WTOP-TV, both CBS News affiliates in Washington, D.C. His best-known work was a live radio broadcast on WTOP, a CBS Radio affiliate, covering the state funeral of President John F. Kennedy. He also worked at Charlotte radio station WBT, and hosted a show on WIST, which aired Charlotte's first telephone talk radio format. Raiford later taught Communications at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. From 1978 to 1986, Raiford was a news anchor and talk show host for Charlotte's NBC television affiliate, known as WRET-TV and later WPCQ-TV during his tenure there (it is now WCNC-TV).

On the June 9, 2016, episode of The John Boy and Billy Big Show, John Isley ("John Boy") announced that Raiford had retired from the show, due to suffering a stroke the previous August that greatly affected his speech and mobility. Raiford had not delivered any commentaries during the intervening months, choosing to focus on his recovery instead.

Raiford died on November 17, 2017 at age 89.

Amar sin ser amada

"Amar Sin Ser Amada" / "You Know He Never Loved You" is a song recorded by Mexican singer Thalía for her ninth studio album El Sexto Sentido (2005).

Song information
The song is written and produced by the Colombian Estéfano and Jose Luis Pagán. The English version was written by Thalía.

Literally translated "Amar Sin Ser Amada" means "To Love Without Being Loved". In the song, Thalía advises women who are "heartbroken" to leave it all behind and try not to think of their exes anymore. When she unintentionally does think about him and miss him, she has to recall the pain she's been through, so she will never go through it again.

The song reached number two on the Billboards Hot Latin Tracks chart.

Music video
The video was shot in a white background showing Thalia getting over her controlling ex-boyfriend after he turned down her advantages while trying to seduce him. There were two music videos for the song: one for the Spanish Version ("Amar sin ser amada") and another one for the English one ("You Know He Never Loved You"). The English version contains the same footage of the Spanish video.

The music video was directed by Jeb Brien and shot in New York City, and was officially released by the TV Magazine Primer Impacto ("First Impact").

Synopsis
The video begins with a vintage radio and a woman's voice speaking in French. We then see Thalia and her boyfriend in a car with the singer slapping and pushing him away. As they get out of the car, they go to a restaurant where they drink glasses of champagne together. Thalia attempts to seduce and dance for him, but the boyfriend brushes her off and rejects her charm. When the boyfriend looks away from her, she confronts him and gets back into the car. Thalia sees her boyfriend in the rear view mirror trying to be apologetic, but she takes one last look at him before driving away. Scenes of Thalia singing are shown, dancing in front of a car, dancing with a microphone and sitting on a chair.

The Work and the Story

The Work and the Story is a 2003 Mormon mockumentary comedy film written and directed by Nathan Smith Jones and starring Nathan Smith Jones, Jen Hoskins, Eric Artel, Dan Merkley, and Richard Dutcher. The title of the film is a reference to the Mormon-oriented film The Work and the Glory.

Plot
The story takes place just after the fictional disappearance of Richard Dutcher, famous for beginning the current Mormon cinema phase with his work God's Army.  After Dutcher's disappearance the film follows the journeys of three amateur filmmakers who are eager to take his place as the first "Mormon Steven Spielberg".  One of these filmmakers doesn't want to see Dutcher found.

Production
Richard Dutcher donated the 16mm film stock to make the film. This is the same stock (three years-old) that God's Army was going to be shot on, had Dutcher not found the financing to shoot on 35mm.

Pleasant Valley (Little Rock)

Pleasant Valley is a neighborhood that is among the older western neighborhoods of the city of Little Rock, Arkansas. The area is to the northwest of Breckenridge and west of Colony West.  Pleasant Valley lies to the south of the hillier Pleasant Ridge and Walton Heights areas, and mostly to the east of St. Charles.

Background
The neighborhood is centered on Pleasant Valley Country Club, which is ranked by Golf Digest as the 3rd best course in the state and 11th best by "Top 100 Golf Courses.com". Pleasant Valley is encompassed entirely by the 72212 zip code. The Average Adjusted Gross Income for 72212 in 2011 was $123,178 placing it in the 98th percentile nationally and the wealthiest in the City of Little Rock. The neighborhood is served by the westernmost portion of Rodney Parham Road, named for an influential former Pulaski County judge, and landmarks such as Pleasant Valley Country Club, houses of worship including Pleasant Valley Church of Christ, First Baptist Church, St James Methodist and Temple B'nai Israel, and moderate to upscale retail and restaurants.  Additionally, several real estate agencies and other professional service firms conduct business from headquarters or branch offices in the neighborhood.  Rural telecom company Windstream Communications established its corporate headquarters in Pleasant Valley following its spinoff from Alltel.

Much of the residential development of Pleasant Valley, evidence of Little Rock's continual westward expansion and migration, has stemmed from the late 1960s and early 1970s.  A significant number of empty-nester dwellings in the neighborhood and large homes adjoining the country club were built following the creation of a partial interchange at Rodney Parham Road's intersection with Interstate 430 in 1970.

Cleonae (Argolis)

Cleonae or Kleonai () was a city in ancient Peloponnesus, described by writers of the Roman period as a city of Argolis, but never included in the Argeia or territory of Argos, in the flourishing period of Greek history. Cleonae was situated on the road from Argos to Corinth, at the distance of 120 stadia from the former city, and 80 stadia from the latter. There was a narrow pass through the mountains, called Tretus, leading from Argos to Cleonae. Cleonae stood in a small plain upon a river flowing into the Corinthian Gulf a little westward of Lechaeum. In its territory was Mount Apesas, now Mount Phoukas, connected with the Acrocorinthus by a rugged range of hills. Both Strabo and Pausanias describe Cleonae as a small place; and the former writer, who saw it from the Acrocorinthus, says that it is situated upon a hill surrounded on all sides by buildings, and well walled, so as to deserve the epithet given to it by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad – ἐϋκτιμένας Κλεωνάς ('well-built Cleonae'). Statius also speaks of "ingenti turritae mole Cleonae." 

Cleonae possessed only a small territory. It derived its chief importance from the Nemean Games being celebrated in its territory, in the grove of Nemea, between Cleonae and Phlius. Hence the festival is called by Pindar ἀγὼν Κλεωναῖος ('the Cleonaean games') Heracles is said to have slain Eurytus and Cteatus, the sons of Actor, near Cleonae; and Diodorus mentions a temple of Heracles erected in the neighbourhood of the city in memory of that event.

Cleonae is said to have derived its name either from Cleones, the son of Pelops, or from Cleone, the daughter of the river-god Asopus. It was conquered by the Dorians, whereupon some of its inhabitants, together with those of the neighbouring town of Phlius, are said to have founded Clazomenae in Asia Minor. In the Dorian conquest, Cleonae formed part of the lot of Temenus, and in early times was one of the confederated allies or subordinates of Argos. Indeed in the historical period, Cleonae was for the most part closely connected with Argos. After the Greco-Persian Wars, the Cleonaeans assisted the Argives in subduing Mycenae; and they fought as the allies of Argos at the Battle of Mantinea (418 BCE). Of their subsequent history little is known, though their city is occasionally mentioned down to the time of Ptolemy.

Timanthes of Cleonae was a victor in the pankration.

The site of ancient Cleonae is located near modern Ag. Vasileios, near Archaies Kleones.

Middle temporal gyrus

Middle temporal gyrus is a gyrus in the brain on the temporal lobe. It is located between the superior temporal gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus. It corresponds largely to Brodmann area 21.

The middle temporal gyrus is bounded by:
 the superior temporal sulcus above;
 the inferior temporal sulcus below;
 an imaginary line drawn from the preoccipital notch to the lateral sulcus posteriorly.

It has been connected with processes as different as contemplating distance, recognition of known faces, audio-visual emotional recognition, and accessing word meaning while reading.
Some studies indicate that lesions of the posterior region of the middle temporal gyrus, in the left cerebral hemisphere, may result in alexia and agraphia for kanji characters (characters of Chinese origin used in Japanese writing). The left middle temporal gyrus is also activated during poem composition.

Surfers Against Sewage

Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is a marine conservation charity working with communities to protect oceans, waves, beaches and marine life. It was created in 1990 by a group of Cornish surfers from the villages of St Agnes and Porthtowan on the north coast of Cornwall.

History 
Set up as a single-issue campaign group in 1990, Surfers Against Sewage led a nationwide campaign for improved water quality. Their campaign's success was helped by key pieces of EU legislation including the Bathing Water Directive.

In 2012, Surfers Against Sewage was recognised as a national marine conservation charity focused on the protection of waves, oceans, beaches, marine wildlife and coastal communities.

In 2018 it was one of the seven charities nominated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to receive donations in lieu of wedding presents.

Campaigns
Today the organisation represents an ever-expanding supporter base and campaigns on a diverse range of issues. SAS campaigns for both the UK's coastal environment and the health of all surfers and other recreational waters users. Recently, SAS has expanded its remit into the protection of the wave resource and surfing spots through the Protect Our Waves (POW) campaign. Since 1990, SAS has secured a multitude of campaign successes on behalf of all water users.

Plastic Free Coastlines 
More recently, Surfers Against Sewage have turned their attention to battling the new sewage - plastic pollution. Through national initiatives such as the Big Spring Beach Clean and the Autumn Beach Clean Series they hope to empower communities to protect their coastlines. Further up in the chain of events, SAS are using their Waves All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) to encourage politicians to explore and introduce policies to prevent plastic emissions from entering the environment.

Protect Our Waves
SAS launched the Protect Our Waves campaign to increase public awareness to the importance of waves in the socioeconomic fabric of many UK coastal communities. Behind the scenes SAS has been consistently representing surfers and waveriders on rights of access, and ensuring the wave resource is recognised and valued.

Beach Bum Survey

Surfers Against Sewage helped recruit participants for a University of Exeter study on the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant E. coli in surfers and bodyboarders. The work was published in Environment International in January 2018.

NGC 5253

NGC 5253 is an irregular galaxy in the constellation Centaurus. It was discovered by William Herschel on 15 March 1787.

Properties
NGC 5253 is located within the M83 Subgroup of the Centaurus A/M83 Group, a relatively nearby galaxy group that includes the radio galaxy Centaurus A and the spiral galaxy M83 (the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy).  NGC 5253 is considered a dwarf starburst galaxy and also a blue compact galaxy.

Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 5253. SN 1895B (type unknown, mag. 8) was discovered on 7 July 1895. Supernova SN 1972E, the second-brightest recent supernova visible from Earth (peak visual magnitude of 8.5, fainter only than SN 1987A in the 20th century), was discovered on 6 May 1972.

Contents
NGC 5253 contains a giant dust cloud hiding a cluster (believed to be a super star cluster) of more than one million stars, among them up to 7,000 O-type stars. The cluster is 3 million years old and has a total luminosity of more than one billion suns. It is the site of efficient star formation, with a rate at least 10 times higher than comparable regions in the Milky Way.

EndSerenading

EndSerenading is the second studio album by Mineral, released on August 25, 1998, after the band had broken up.

The album was noted for its overall softer and quieter sound in comparison to the band's former album, The Power of Failing, which featured much louder and more energetic pieces. Tensions rose among the band during recording, and after recording was completed, the band split up. Simpson and Gomez formed The Gloria Record, while McCarver and Wiley formed Imbroco.

Ted White (stuntman)

Alex Bayouth (January 25, 1926 – October 14, 2022), known professionally as Ted White, was an American stuntman and actor who was best known for playing Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. He was also notable for having doubled for John Wayne, Fess Parker, Clark Gable, and Richard Boone.

Life and career
Born as Alex Bayouth in Krebs, Oklahoma, White grew up in Snyder, Texas. He played football for the University of Oklahoma, then pursued a stuntman/acting career. In Sands of Iwo Jima (1949), White was approached because of his Marine Corps background when they needed a consultant for the layout of the island. That was when White met John Wayne and began doubling for him in 1952.

White had minor roles in several western films and in such television series as Daniel Boone; The Andy Griffith Show; Hunter; Magnum, P.I.; and The Rockford Files, usually in tough-guy roles such as police officers or hired thugs. He has also worked in Gone in 60 Seconds, Silverado, Major League, Starman, and Tron.

In 1984, White played hockey masked murderer Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, after the director needed a large man for the part. White reluctantly accepted because he needed the money. White asked not to be credited on screen for his part, partly because he did not appreciate how the young actors and actresses had been treated during production. He was later credited for the archive footage of him as Jason that was used in the seventh Friday film. White was offered the role of Jason for Friday the 13th: A New Beginning and Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, but turned them down. The roles ultimately went to stuntmen Tom Morga and C. J. Graham, respectively.

White died at his home on October 14, 2022, at the age of 96.

State House, Nairobi

State House is the official residence of the president of Kenya. It was the prime minister's residence from independence until 12 December 1964 when Kenya became a republic. As the prime minister's position was abolished, it has been the official residence of the president ever since.

History

Before the construction of Government House in Nairobi, the first governor's residence was at Government House, Mombasa, constructed in 1879. Government House in Nairobi, now State House, was built in 1907 in Nairobi to serve as the official residence of the governor of British East Africa, when Kenya was a colony within the British Empire. The governor would conduct his official functions at the old Provincial Commissioner's office (now a national monument) next to Nyayo House and then retire to Government House for the day. It was designed by the British architect Sir Herbert Baker.

After independence, Government House was renamed State House. Although it remained the official residence of the Head of State, in practice it became an administrative or operational office occasionally providing accommodation to visiting state guests and receptions on National Days. This scenario has prevailed to-date with the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and President Moi preferring private residences as opposed to living in State House.

Other residences
State House in Nairobi stands on a  piece of land. It is a 10-minute drive from the city centre. Other than the Nairobi one, there are other State Houses in Mombasa and Nakuru.

There are state lodges in Eldoret, Sagana, Kisumu, Kakamega,Kitale town, Rumuruti, Cheran'gany and Kisii. They are scattered around the country to provide accommodation to the president whenever he is touring various parts of the country.

President Uhuru Kenyatta once met Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon in Sagana State Lodge, which is said to be Kenya's own version of Chequers in Buckinghamshire or Camp David in Maryland. The president was said to be shifting key presidential functions to stations outside Nairobi.

Carbury GAA

Carbury GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club in County Kildare, Ireland, winner of 11 Kildare county senior football championships and participants in eight successive county finals between 1965 and 1972. Ollie Crinnigan and (an All Star in 1978) and Pat Mangan (replacement All Star on two occasions) were on the Kildare football team of the millennium.

History
Though the present Carbury club was founded in 1925, local tradition holds that football was played in the parish since pre-GAA times. RIC records from 1890 show that Kirkpatrick CJ Kickhams club had 30 members, with the officers listed as Michael Mooney, Walter Broderick and John Tracey. Carbury teams reached the quarter-finals of the championship in 1897 and 1905.

Gaelic Football
The Bourke family, including Dermot (after whom the county senior football championship trophy is named) and John and William Hynan were the backbone of early Carbury teams. After winning the Intermediate Championship in 1930 Carbury have had an unbroken run in Kildare senior football, playing in four successive finals as they won three titles between 1940 and 1946. The minor team of 1959 broke through at senior level to play in eight successive county finals. They travelled to New York in 1973 and beat New York in two challenge matches and reached the final of the Kilmacud sevens in 1973, losing to Waterville. Also, Jack Carey is one of only two players with seven County Championship medals. They also reached a county final in 2011 but lost to Athy.

Hurling
Carbury players hurl with Broadford.

Camogie
Carbury affiliated 1933-45 with Stoirin Burke as their captain, formerly of Dominican, Eccles Street, described as "one of Ireland’s best players." Ticknevin and Carbury both fielded teams in the 1950s. The club revived in 1983 and won All Ireland Feile na nGael Division 2 in 1985.

Cleonae (Athos)

Cleonae or Cleonæ or Kleonai () was an ancient city on the Acte or Akte (Ακτή) peninsula (now Mount Athos), the easternmost of the three peninsulas forming the ancient Chalcidice, on its western coast, south of Thyssus (Thyssos). Thucydides says that among the cities of the aforementioned peninsula, Sane was colony of Andros, while Thyssus, Cleonae, Acrothoum, Olophyxus and Dium had a heterogeneous population of bilingual barbarians formed by a few Chalcidians and, the rest, Pelasgians, Bisaltians, Crestonians and Edoni. Strabo points out that its primitive populated was composed of Pelasgians from Lemnos. According to Strabo, it was colonized by Euboean colonists from Chalcis. Heraclides Lembus also writes that Chalcidians settled there.
It was a member of the Delian League as it appears on the tribute lists to Athens during the Peloponnesian War.

It is tentatively identified with a site near Daphne.
