Bad Bederkesa

Bad Bederkesa (Northern Low Saxon: Beers) is a village and a former municipality in the district of Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony, Germany. Since 1 January 2015 it is part of the town of Geestland. It is situated approximately 20 km northeast of Bremerhaven, and 30 km southeast of Cuxhaven. Bad Bederkesa was the seat of the former Samtgemeinde ("collective municipality") Bederkesa, an administrative division consisting of several component municipalities.

History
Bad Bederkesa belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen (est. as principality of imperial immediacy in 1180). The Knights of Bederkesa, like all the place, had been struck by the plague in 1349/1350, completely extinguishing many knightly family lines. The declining knightly family dropped deep into debt, and – having already sold many a possession – had even pawned half the say in the Bailiwick of Bederkesa (Amt Bederkesa) to the aspiring .

They again lost this pawn to the city of Bremen, when in 1381 its troops stopped the three Mandelsloh brothers in their attempt to leverage influence from lending to Prince-Archbishop Albert II into territorial power. The Mandelslohs and other robber barons from the Prince-Bishopric of Verden and the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen ravaged burghers of the city of Bremen and people in the entire prince-archbishopric.

In 1381 the city's troops successfully ended the brigandage and captured the  and the pertaining bailiwick. Thus Bremen gained its foothold as to uphold peace and order in its forecourt on the lower Weser course. In 1386 the city of Bremen became the liege lord of the noble families, holding the estates of  and Elmlohe, previously vassals of the Knights of Bederkesa.

In 1411 the jointly ruling dukes of Saxe-Lauenburg, father Eric IV and his sons Eric V and John IV, pawned their share in the Vogtei over the Bederkesa Bailiwick and in the castle to the Senate of Bremen including all "they have in the jurisdictions in the Frisian Land of Wursten and in , which belongs to the afore-mentioned castle and Vogtei". Their share in jurisdiction, Vogtei and castle had been acquired from the plague-stricken Knights of Bederkesa. In 1421, Bremen acquired also the remaining half in the say of the Bederkesa Knights including their remaining share in the Bederkesa Castle.

 In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown. In November 1654, after the Second Bremian War, Bremen had to cede Bederkesa and Lehe to the Duchy of Bremen (). In 1715 the Duchy of Bremen became a fief to the House of Hanover. In 1807 the ephemeral Kingdom of Westphalia annexed the Duchy, before France annexed it in 1810. In 1813 the Duchy was restored to the Electorate of Hanover, which - after its upgrade to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 - incorporated the Duchy in a real union and the Ducal territory, including Bederkesa, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.

Engineering validation test

An engineering verification test (EVT) is performed on first engineering prototypes, to ensure that the basic unit performs to design goals and specifications. Verification ensures that designs meets requirements and specification while validation ensures that created entity meets the user needs and objectives.

Tests
Tests may include:
 Functional test (basic)
 Power measurement
 Signal quality test
 Conformance test
 Electromagnetic interference (EMI) pre-scan
 Thermal and four-corner test
 Basic parametric measurements, specification verification

Importance
Identifying design problems and solving them as early in the design cycle as possible is a key to keeping projects on time and within budget. Too often, product design and performance problems are not detected until late in the product development cycle, when the product is ready to be shipped.

Prototyping
In the prototyping stage, engineers create actual working samples of the product they plan to produce. Engineering verification testing (EVT)  is used on prototypes to verify that the design meets pre-determined specifications and design goals. This valuable information is used to validate the design as is, or identify areas that need to be modified.

Design Verification Test
Design Verification Test (DVT) is an intensive testing program which is performed to deliver objective, comprehensive testing verifying all product specifications, interface standards, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements, and diagnostic commands. It consists of the following areas of testing:
 Functional testing (including usability)
 Performance testing
 Climatic testing
 Reliability testing
 Environmental testing
 Mechanical testing
 Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) prediction
 Conformance testing
 Electromagnetic compatibility (Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)) testing and certification
 Safety certification

Design refinement
After prototyping, the product is moved to the next phase of the design cycle: design refinement. Engineers revise and improve the design to meet performance and design requirements and specifications.

Hagen im Bremischen

Hagen im Bremischen is a municipality in the district of Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated approximately 20 km south of Bremerhaven, and 35 km northwest of Bremen. Hagen was the seat of the former Samtgemeinde ("collective municipality") Hagen.

History
Hagen im Bremischen belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, established as a territory of imperial immediacy in 1180. The prince-archiepiscopal fortress (, ) dates back to the 12th century, probably Prince-Archbishop Hartwig II initiated its construction. Since the 14th century the fortress became also used as a residential castle by the Bremian prince-archbishops. The present structure was formed between 1502 until latest 1507 by Prince-Archbishop Johann Rode. In the mid-16th century the inhabitants adopted Lutheranism. During the Leaguist occupation under Tilly (1628–1630), they suffered from attempts of reCatholicisation.

In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish crown – interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) – and from 1715 on by the House of Hanover. In 1807 the ephemeric Kingdom of Westphalia annexed the Duchy, before France annexed it in 1810. In 1813 the duchy was restored to the Electorate of Hanover, which – after its upgrade to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 – incorporated the duchy in a real union and the ducal territory, including Hagen, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.

Coat of arms
The coat of arms shows an oak, which refers to the place's name Hagen, an antiquated word for forest. The oak bears the coat of arms of the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, which refers to the second name element im Bremischen, meaning literally in the Bremian (country). The Bremian coat of arms displays two argent (silver) crisscrossed keys on a gules (red) background. The key is the epithet symbol of Simon Petrus, the saint patron of the Bremen Cathedral. A single key is also the main element in the coat of arms of the city state of Bremen (see Coat of arms of Bremen) and of the formerly Bremian city of Stade.

Mobile PCI Express Module

A Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) is an interconnect standard for GPUs (MXM Graphics Modules) in laptops using PCI Express created by MXM-SIG. The goal was to create a non-proprietary, industry standard socket, so one could easily upgrade the graphics processor in a laptop, without having to buy a whole new system or relying on proprietary vendor upgrades.

Generations 

Smaller graphics modules can be inserted into larger slots, but type I and II heatsinks will not fit type III and above or vice versa.

The Alienware m5700 platform uses a heatsink that will fit Type I, II, & III cards without modification.

MXM 3.1 was released in March 2012 and added PCIe 3.0 support.

First generation modules are not compatible with second generation (MXM 3) modules and vice versa. First generation modules I to IV are fully backwards compatible.

Specification 

MXM is no longer freely supplied by Nvidia but it is controlled by the MXM-SIG controlled by Nvidia. Only corporate clients are granted access to the standard. The MXM 2.1 specification is widely available.

List of MXM cards

MXM 3.x cards

Other uses 

The Qseven computer-on-module form factor uses a MXM-II connector, while the SMARC computer-on-module form factor uses a MXM 3 connector. Both implementations are not in any way compatible with the MXM standard.

Karymsky (volcano)

Karymsky (, Karymskaya sopka) is an active stratovolcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It and Shiveluch are Kamchatka's largest, most active and most continuously erupting volcanoes, as well as one of the most active on the planet.

It is named after the Karyms, an ethnic group in Russia.

Description
Karymsky is a symmetrical stratovolcano rising within a 5-km-wide caldera that formed during the early Holocene. Much of the cone is mantled by lava flows less than 200 years old. Historical eruptions have been vulcanian or vulcanian-strombolian with moderate explosive activity and occasional lava flows from the summit crater. There is currently an ongoing cycle of non-stop eruption occurring, and is the peninsula's most active, and reliable volcano, which has been erupting continuously since 1996.

Eruptions

An ongoing cycle of almost continuous eruption has been occurring since 1996.

The Everlasting (role-playing game)

The Everlasting is a role-playing game created by Steve Brown of Visionary Entertainment Studios Inc in the 1990s. The system has four core books: The Book of the Unliving (1997); The Book of the Light (1998); The Book of the Spirit (1998); and The Book of the Fantastical (2004). There are also two supplement books available for the game: The Codex of Immortals (2004); and The Magician's Companion (2004).

The Everlasting is based on several immortal races who struggle with an unknown force. Since Hiroshima and thereafter Tchernobyl, many seals are broken and "something" is coming.

These immortal races span a wide range of mythological beings from societies around the world.  Steve Brown had done extensive research on these various types of mythological beings and incorporated different ideas and concepts from the different societies that these mythologies originate from.  As an example, he included many different types of vampires from varying cultures around the world.  Among the varying creatures and beings that players can take on the roles of in this RPG are the following:
 Angels
 Daevas
 Dead Souls
 Djinn
 Dragons
 Dwarves
 Elves
 Faeries
 Gargoyles
 Ghuls
 Manitou
 Orcs
 Osirians
 Possessed
 Questers
 Reanimates
 Revenants
 Vampires
 Wer

This RPG also heavily stresses the development of each player's own personal mythology, and encourages developing a meaningful and interesting story (to a degree beyond what is seen in most paper and dice RPGs). This goes as far as referring to the characters being played by the players as "Protagonists" and any creatures or other beings and humans that they must struggle against as "Antagonists" similar to what is commonly seen in literature.

Sherwood Gardens

Sherwood Gardens is a  park located in the Guilford neighborhood of Northern Baltimore, Maryland. The gardens are bordered by East Highfield, Underwood, Stratford and Greenway Roads. In addition to well-groomed, standard ground cover (azaleas, evergreens, etc...), Sherwood Gardens is famous for its nearly 80,000 tulips that peak in late April. After the tulips finish blooming, the Tulip Dig occurs on the Saturday of Memorial Day each year. Anyone can dig up and purchase the tulip bulbs.

The park is maintained and managed by Stratford Green, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization.

History
During the 1800s, the property on which the Sherwood Gardens rest was part of the Guilford estate of A S. Abell, founder of The Baltimore Sun.
The location of the gardens was a pond, which was filled in when the area was developed for housing in 1912 and named Stratford Green by the Olmsted Brothers who designed it and the Guilford community. John W. Sherwood, a son of the president of the Baltimore Steam Packet Company (the "Old Bay Line") and one-time chairman of the Sinclair Oil Company, began planting tulip beds, azaleas and other flora on his property, adjacent to Stratford Green, in the 1920s.
He allowed the public to visit his gardens during the month of May. Sherwood planted his gardens with tulips imported from the Netherlands. Following his death in 1965, Sherwood Gardens was acquired by The Guilford Association, Inc. which then expanded them. The gardens, which were transferred to Stratford Green, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization, are private property and receive no public funding, but are open to the public year-round.

Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, Inc.

Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal, Inc., 670 F.2d 760 (7th Cir. 1982) is a US labor law decision of the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals concerning the award of attorney's fees in a discrimination lawsuit.  The facts of the case involved allegedly discriminatory practices in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  The litigants of the case settled in favor of the plaintiffs, but brought the issue of reasonable attorney's fees to the district court.

Facts
Uniroyal allegedly maintained "a segregated hiring and seniority system at its Mishawaka, Indiana plant where women were heavily employed in the footwear production division, while other lines predominantly employed male employees." Alta Chrapliwy and other female workers filed charges against the company in a class action suit that was eventually settled in their favor after years of litigation.

Colonial Stores

Colonial Stores was a chain grocery stores once found throughout much of the South.  Most were transformed to Big Star Markets in the 1970s and later most became Harris Teeter or A&P.

History

David Pender Grocery Company 
The chain evolved from Norfolk, Virginia's D. P. Pender Grocery Stores, the first of which opened in 1900. In its early years the company used horse drawn wagons to deliver goods to customers. In 1919 Pender opened a second grocery store in Norfolk, later expanding to more locations in Central and Eastern Virginia. Pender retired on January 1, 1926, making the David Pender Grocery Company a publicly owned corporation which later became a subsidiary of National Food Products Corporation. By Pender's retirement the company owned 244 stores and employed more than 1,500 people. In 1930 the company made an average of $35,000 in sales per store.

L. W. Rogers Grocery Company 
L. W. Rogers opened the first of his grocery stores in Atlanta, Georgia in 1892. In the next twenty years the company expanded to other locations in Georgia  and South Carolina. By 1926 Rogers' company was owned by National Food Products Corporation.

Colonial Stores 
In 1937 National Food Products opened two combined Pender-Rogers self-service supermarkets, under the name "Big Star", in Griffin, Georgia and Greensboro, North Carolina. Subsequently some smaller stores were also opened under the name "Little Star". In 1940 the chains were officially combined under the name Colonial Stores, Inc. In 1947 the company introduced its rooster logo. In 1950 the company made $179 million in total sales, an average of $488,637 per store.

In 1955 the Cincinnati based Albers Super Markets and the Indianapolis based Stop and Shop Companies were acquired by National Food Products and put under the Colonial Stores label. 

In the 1970s most of the stores were moved to the Big Star label.

In 1978 the New Jersey based Grand Union purchased the Colonial Stores chain. This move was initially blocked by the Federal Trade Commission out of fear Grand Union would be violating anti-trust laws. This was later dismissed and the purchase was allowed to go ahead.

The Norfolk stores were closed in the 1980s, and many were purchased by the Food Town chain. In 1988 the stores owned by Grand Union were resold. The North Carolina and Virginia stores were acquired by Harris-Teeter, and the Atlanta stores were acquired by A&P.

Locations 
The company at its peak owned over 500 stores across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The company had 435 stores by 1964.

Its headquarters were located in Atlanta in 1955.

Schoolhouse Creek (Alameda County)

Schoolhouse Creek is a creek which flows through the city of Berkeley, California in the San Francisco Bay Area.

History
The creek acquired its name from a school which was sited adjacent to it, the Ocean View School (the first school in today's Berkeley, established 1856 on land donated by José Domingo Peralta).  The school was later replaced by the San Pablo Avenue School and still later, the Franklin Elementary School.  In 2003, Franklin was closed, and in 2004, the Berkeley Adult School moved into its remodeled buildings.  On this site at the corner of Curtis and Virginia Streets, a small park created by citizen volunteers, the Schoolhouse Creek Common, was opened on May 13, 2006.

Schoolhouse Creek rises in the Berkeley Hills from a number of small springs just south of Codornices Creek and north of Cedar Street.  Its principal tributary, Lincoln Creek begins in the hills at the top of Virginia Street.  Schoolhouse and Lincoln have their confluence in the vicinity of McGee and Cedar Streets on the flatlands below the hills.  From there the creek runs southwest between Virginia and Cedar Streets.  Throughout most of its upper and middle courses, the creek is culverted. It emerges for part of the block between Sacramento and Acton Streets, above Chestnut Street, and again at Curtis Street. Where it crosses the old right-of-way of the Santa Fe railroad, now a pedestrian-bicycle trail, a massive buried concrete abutment and culvert hide the creek.

Watershed
Originally, the creek flowed into the south end of a large,  northward-flowing salt marsh and slough that also carried waters of Codornices and Marin Creeks to San Francisco Bay. West of this marsh, low dunes and a crescent of sandy beach curved northwest to Fleming Point. But the marsh was filled, the creek was channeled into a pipe that also carried sewage to the Bay, and the shoreline was extended westward with Berkeley's garbage.

East Bay Municipal District intercepted the sewage in the late 1940s, but the creek still flows in the pipe just north of and parallel to Virginia Street, reaching San Francisco Bay in the squared off "North Basin" that was destined to be filled by more garbage, before citizen effort halted Bay fill in the 1960s.

This shoreline is now part of Eastshore State Park, managed by East Bay Regional Park District. The long-term plan for the park contemplates daylighting the creek here to create a small salt marsh that would also lessen flood danger in West Berkeley. Friends of Five Creeks, a volunteer group, does maintenance and revegetation work in this area.

Mercedes-Benz W180

See Mercedes-Benz S-Class for a complete overview of all S-Class models.
The Mercedes-Benz W180 is an inline 6-cylinder saloon, coupé, and convertible made from 1954 until 1959. The models associated with the W180 chassis code were the 220 a and 220 S.

The W180 was one in a range of Mercedes-Benz models to informally receive the "Ponton" nickname. This was in reference to the unibody-type, pontoon-shaped exterior styling which was also featured on the later W128 line.

220 a (W180 I)
Introduced in March 1954, the 220 a was a more luxurious and up-scale version of the W120 model 180 with a wheelbase stretched by .  of that increase in length was necessary to accommodate the longer straight-6 M180 engine taken from the W187 model 220, that in this application delivered  fed by a single carburetor.

The passenger cabin was also lengthened by  to increase the legroom available to rear-seat passengers. From the side, these six-cylinder cars can readily be distinguished from their shorter four-cylinder siblings by the extra "quarter light" windows incorporated in the rear doors.

Production of the 220 a ended in April 1956, with 25,937 units produced.

220 S (W180 II)
The 220 a was succeeded in March 1956 by the 220 S, which was externally almost identical, but had an upgraded version of the 2.2L inline-six (, later ), due to the use of twin-carburetors.

Visually, the 220 S featured a new one piece front bumper, instead of the 3-piece bumper used on the 220 a. Also, the twin chrome and rubber strips running under the doors of the 220 a were replaced with solid chrome strips. The most obvious difference is the addition of a chrome strip running along the front fenders and doors of the 220 S.

The 220 S was available with a 4-speed column shift manual transmission, with an optional Hydrak automatic clutch. This made use of small microswitches on the gear selector that automatically disengaged the clutch when the driver changed gears. Many cars have subsequently been converted to use a regular manual clutch, due to the high maintenance costs of continuing to use the Hydrak clutch.

Also introduced with the 220 S was the W105 219, which from the a-pillar forward was essentially a single-carburettor 220 a, but rearward from the a-pillar it used the shorter body of the W120/W121 180/190 models.

In July 1956 a convertible (two doors, four seats) joined the line-up, and in October 1956 a coupé version followed suit. Some convertibles were finished with folding rear seats to accommodate additional luggage.

Until October 1959, 55,279 220 S saloons and 3,429 convertibles and coupés were built.

The fuel-injected 220 SE versions that officially bore the model code W128 were introduced in October 1958 and carried on until November 1960.

Lancers (wine)

Lancers is a brand of medium-sweet, lightly sparkling wine produced by the JM da Fonseca winery in Portugal. The brand was created in 1944, when Vintage Wines of New York predicted that wine consumption in the United States would increase after World War II.

A sparkling Lancers, made by the continuous method, was introduced in the late 1980s. It was originally sold in distinctive squat bottles made of rust-colored, opaque crockery rather than clear glass.
