Monotone class theorem

In measure theory and probability, the monotone class theorem connects monotone classes and -algebras. The theorem says that the smallest monotone class containing an algebra of sets  is precisely the smallest -algebra containing  It is used as a type of transfinite induction to prove many other theorems, such as Fubini's theorem.

Definition of a monotone class

A  is a family (i.e. class)  of sets that is closed under countable monotone unions and also under countable monotone intersections. Explicitly, this means  has the following properties:

 if  and  then  and
 if  and  then

Monotone class theorem for sets

Monotone class theorem for functions

Proof

The following argument originates in Rick Durrett's Probability: Theory and Examples.

Results and applications

As a corollary, if  is a ring of sets, then the smallest monotone class containing it coincides with the -ring of 

By invoking this theorem, one can use monotone classes to help verify that a certain collection of subsets is a -algebra.

The monotone class theorem for functions can be a powerful tool that allows statements about particularly simple classes of functions to be generalized to arbitrary bounded and measurable functions.

Kamanjab

Kamanjab (, place of big stones) is a village with 6,012 inhabitants in the Kunene region of Namibia. It is the administrative centre of the Kamanjab Constituency.

Economy and infrastructure
As with most Namibian self-governed settlements, Kamanjab is affected by urbanisation. The village has an area where new low-income inhabitants may temporarily settle for a small fee. Once they have stayed for 5 years and paid every month, the plot where they stay is allocated to them.

Politics

Kamanjab is governed by a village council that has five seats.

The 2015 local authority election was won by the SWAPO party which gained three seats (689 votes). The remaining two seats went to the United Democratic Front (UDF) with 375 votes. The 2020 local authority election was won by the UDF which gained 606 votes and two seats. SWAPO was runner-up with 541 votes and two seats. The remaining seat went to the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM, 82 votes).

Importer (computing)

An importer is a software application that reads in a data file or metadata information in one format and converts it to another format via special algorithms (such as filters).  An importer often is not an entire program by itself, but an extension to another program, implemented as a plug-in.  When implemented in this way, the importer reads the data from the file and converts it into the hosting application's native format.

For example, the data file for a 3D model may be written from a modeler, such as 3D Studio Max.  A game developer may then want to use that model in their game's  editor.  An importer, part of the editor, may read in the 3D Studio Max model and convert it to the game's native format so it can be used in game levels.

Importers are important tools in the video game industry. A plug-in or application that does the converse of an importer is called an exporter.

Oregan's headquarters and primary R&D centre are located in London UK, with branch offices in Singapore, Mexico, Korea, Taiwan and Argentina.

History

In its early days, Oregan provided web browser and media streaming software to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for enabling PlayStation 2 to render the Sony games portal, Central Station.

In December 2009 Oregan launched Onyx, an Oregan branded solution for Connected TVs, which was deployed by UK based LCD TV manufacturer Cello Electronics for distribution by UK retailers such as Marks & Spencers and Dixons. These Onyx powered TVs are understood to be the first Connected TVs to deliver BBC iPlayer content as well as YouTube and other OTT video services into UK homes, but were quickly followed by similar products from LCD TV market behemoths Samsung, Sony and LG due to significant market demand for accessing BBC iPlayer on Connected TVs.

Land of the Living (Kristine W song)

"Land of the Living" is a song by American singer Kristine W. It was released in 1996 as the third and final single from her debut album, Land of the Living (1996). The single was a huge club hit but only reached number 57 on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, it spent two weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in November 1996. That was the singer's third number-one single on this survey.

American singer and actress Patti LaBelle and Kristine W covered the song as a duet on Labelle's 2005 cover album Classic Moments.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that Kristine W returns with the title track to her deservedly acclaimed debut, "a melancholy pop/house anthem that beautifully showcases her formidable pipes and dramatic flair. With its affecting and intelligent lyrics, "Land Of The Living" deftly squashes the idea that all dance music is fluffy and mindless." William Stevensen from Entertainment Weekly described it as "ebullient". Alan Jones from Music Week declared it a "dancefloor monster". Joey Bolsadura from Muzik viewed it as a "song of survival a la Gloria Gaynor with phunk". A reviewer from People Magazine said that "even when Kristine W strikes her gloomiest pose, as in the beginning of the title song—"I got a mirror, a bottle and a pen/ The mirror is cracked/ The bottle is empty/ And my pen don't know where to begin"—she conveys that somehow things will get better. They do. Before long, a jacked-up beat kicks in, and she rides it all the way to a happy ending." J.D. Considine for Vibe complimented it as a "lean, house-style jam".

Dubiofossil

The term dubiofossil is a portmanteau word used in geology and paleontology for a problematic structure that looks like a fossil but has an uncertain biologic origin. From Latin dubius, and English fossil, the word has been used mainly for remains found in rocks dating from the early history of the Earth (Precambrian rocks), but it is also applicable in other settings such as problematic microbe-like forms in meteorites.

Although ultimately such structures are either biogenic (i.e., fossil) or abiogenic (i.e., pseudofossil), the information available at the time of study is insufficient to make an unambiguous determination. They belong to the dubiofossil category temporarily, awaiting additional evidence that will allow them to be removed from this category and attributed to the fossils or the pseudofossils. For example, see ALH84001.

Physical and chemical processes can produce structures that look indistinguishable from some that are formed by biologic activity, presenting a hurdle in their interpretation.

Living systems are capable of metabolism, reproduction, mutation, and propagation of the mutations. Lines of evidence for biogenicity, called biosignatures, come in various forms and appear at various scales, ranging from the atomic to the planetary dimension.

Molecule-building, cell division, colony formation, respiration, excretion, active motility are amongst the biologic processes that effect changes in the environment and can leave distinctive morphologic features or signature chemical by-products in the geologic record.

These attributes are susceptible to be modified or obliterated over geologic time, making it more difficult to recognize them in the rocks. The case for biogenicity is most robust when multiple lines of evidence converge.

One More Try (Kristine W song)

"One More Try" is a song by American club music singer-songwriter Kristine W, released in 1995 by Champion Records as the second single from her debut album, Land of the Living (1996). The song received positive reviews but narrowly missed the Top 40 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 41. In the US, it reached number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 64 on the Cash Box Top 100. In the Netherlands, "One More Try" peaked at number 16. Its music video was directed by Lindy Heymann. Kristine W wrote the song after taking some friends to see her hometown and discovering her old junior high school had been condemned.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song, a long-anticipated follow-up to the massive "Feel What You Want" "is a true rarity in dance music. It makes a pensive and poignant lyrical point without clouding the track's overall potential to inspire active twitchin' and twirlin'. Producers Rollo and Rob D. have created a grand disco/house arrangement that allows Kristine to shine like the star she deserves to be." He also complimented the track as a "fun and blippy house anthem". In 1996, he described it as "heartwarming", adding, "Even a year after its first aborted shipment on EastWest, this track sounds as fresh and rhythmically relevant as ever." 

Daina Danin from Cash Box stated that "club fave Kristine W has a gorgeous, throaty voice and this lush, soulful dance track is already popular in New York City clubs through a Junior Vasquez remix, along with airplay on NY's WKTU and Philly's WIOQ." William Stevensen from Entertainment Weekly deemed it as an "infectious anthem". Richard Smith from Melody Maker named it Single of the Week. Daisy & Havoc from Music Weeks RM Dance Update gave it four out of five, adding, "Kristine W's new song is appealing in a subtle, miserable kind of way and it's made minimal and atmospheric by one Rollo & Sister Bliss mix and large and pounding by the other." Joey Bolsadura from Muzik called it "splendid". Ben Wener from Orange County Register declared it "irresistible".

Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by British director Lindy Heymann. She had previously directed the video for Kristine W's debut single, "Feel What You Want".

Nuevo Progreso, San Marcos

Nuevo Progreso () is a municipality in the San Marcos department of Guatemala.

History 
The municipality was created on 17 October 1889 as "El Progreso'. After the murder of president general José María Reina Barrios on 8 February 1898, lawyer Manuel Estrada Cabrera reached power and from the very beginning of his tenure he set up a dictatorial rule, which would last 22 years.
 The president admirers began a program by which numerous locations and structures were named after the Presidente, and then El Progreso became "Estrada Cabrera" in 1898.

In 1908, following with the adulation program, the municipality was renamed, this time as "San Joaquin", a male version of Estrada Cabrera's mother name, Joaquina Cabrera -who had died on 3 July 1908- during the Fiestas Minervalias on 4 November 1908.  Finally, it was named "Nuevo Progreso" on 3 May 1920, by president Carlos Herrera y Luna, who issued an executive order to remove all references to Estrada Cabrera and his mother after the former president ousting on 17 April 1920.

Nuevo Progreso is also known as "El Valle Escondido" (English: "The hidden valley") of the San Marcos Department coast.

Name changes over the years

Health system

Nuevo Progreso is most well known for the "Hospital de la Familia" located there. Medical specialists from the United States visit to offer care to those in need. When the specialists are in town, people often visit from across the country because of the expert care they can receive.

Climate

Nuevo Progreso has tropical climate(Köppen:Am).

Geographic location 

It is surrounded by San Marcos Department municipalities, except on the South, where it borders Coatepeque, a Quetzaltenango municipality.

Peter Vladimirov

Peter or Pyotr Parfenovich Vlasov, better known under his pen name Vladimirov, (; 1905 – 10 September 1953) was a Soviet diplomat and journalist. He is best known for The Vladimirov Diaries, in which he recounted the events in Yan'an during the Second World War, particularly information on Mao Zedong.

From May 1938 through to November 1945, he served as a correspondent for the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS).  At the same time, from May 1942 to 1945, Vladimirov also acted as a liaison officer for Comintern to the headquarters of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an, the capital of the so-called Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.

In The Vladimirov Diaries, he recounted events in Yan'an during the Second World War. The diary criticized Mao's government and has been heavily edited for Soviet propaganda purposes.

Vladimirov's last appointment was as a Soviet ambassador to Burma (1952); but, due to illness and death, he was unable to start working at that position.

Vlasov was married to Maria Danilovna Vlasova; they had two sons, Boris and Yury (1935 - 2021). Yury became an Olympic champion in weightlifting and a prominent writer, he published his father's diaries in 1973, twenty years after his death.

2019 strike and contract negotiations
On March 7, 2019, members of the ONA voted unanimously to strike due to the fact that the proposed Windsor-Essex County Health Unit proposed only a 1% raise. Following several weeks of negotiations, the union won an annual 1.5% pay raise for three years, for a total of 4.5%. In addition to the wage gains, the union won increased family medical leave and a provision to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

Fighting Socialist Party of Greece

The Fighting Socialist Party of Greece (, Α.Σ.Κ.Ε.), (ASKE), is a left-wing Greek political party founded in February 1984.

The main core of its founding cadres consisted of members of the organisation committee of PASOK, who immediately after the Greek parliamentary elections in 1981, after which PASOK came to power, protested against it for the violation of its founding proclamations and resigned from their party posts. This opposition was expressed with Nikos Kargopoulos's opposite proposal to the PASOK Central Committee in the summer of 1983 and led to their expulsion from PASOK.

Along with other elements who came from the broader left-wing and progressive movement, they founded the Social Movement, which finally became ASKE in February 1984. Its fundamental views are the struggle for independence from foreign (non-Greek) power blocs, such as the EU and NATO), and for socialism, which the party argues must rely on self-management, the complete respect of personal and political rights, and democracy.

ASKE publishes a newspaper every two months.

In the 2004 European parliament election, ASKE gathered 11,598 votes which is its best result since its foundation.

Hana Maria Pravda

Hana Maria Pravda (, Becková; after first marriage, Munk; after second marriage, Pravda; 29 January 1916 − 22 May 2008) was a Czech actress.

Biography
Hana Becková was born in Prague, 29 January 1916.
She trained in Leningrad in 1936 under Alexei Dikii. On her return to Prague, she married her first husband, Alexander Munk who was a student activist.

Pravda worked in Czech theatre before the outbreak of World War II and made five films (under the names Hana Becková, Hana Bělská, Hana Alexandrová and Hana Pravdová).

When the war broke out, Hana and her husband Alexander Munk were sent to Theresienstadt concentration camp and were subsequently transferred to the Auschwitz concentration camp where they became separated. She survived the camp and the subsequent January 1945 death march and recorded her experiences in a diary. She later found out that her husband had died.

She returned to Prague and continued to act in the realistic theatre where she met George Pravda. She emigrated to the United Kingdom with him and continued her career. Pravda's most well-known role was as Emma Cohen in the 1970s television drama Survivors. She also appeared as the wife of the innkeeper (played by her real-life husband George) in the Jack Palance version of Dracula (1974). Other TV credits include: Danger Man, Department S, Callan, Z-Cars, Dad's Army and Tales of the Unexpected.

Pravda's wartime diary was published as I Was Writing This Diary For You, Sasha (2000). She also published a collection of autobiographical stories, Kaleidoscope: Snapshots of My Life (2002).

Personal life
Pravda died, 22 May 2008, in Oxford, England.
Her son, Dr Alex Pravda, is an academic. Her granddaughter is the English actress Isobel Pravda. Her first cousin was the Czech-Chilean businessman Milan Platovsky.

Exporter (computing)

An exporter is a software application that writes out a data file in a format different from its native format.  It does this via special algorithms (such as filters).  An exporter often is not an entire program by itself, but an extension to another program, implemented as a plug-in.  When implemented in this way, the exporter converts the hosting application's native format into the desired format and writes it to the file.

For example, a 3D model may be written with a modeler, such as 3D Studio Max.  A game developer may want to use that model in its game, but uses a custom format that is different from 3D Studio Max's native format.  Using the exporter, the model can be saved in the developer's native format and then read into the game (or a tool) without any extra conversion.  Using exporters, game tools can also export from their native format into formats for other applications (such as the modeler or a paint program, such as Photoshop).

Exporters are important tools in the video game industry. A plug-in or application that does the converse of an exporter is called an importer.  Importers and exporters are often used in conjunction with one another in many software development environments.
