The Wicked Day

The Wicked Day is the fourth novel in Mary Stewart's treatment of Arthurian legend. It was published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1983. It is preceded in the pentalogy by The Last Enchantment (1979), and succeeded by The Prince and the Pilgrim (1995).

Overview
The protagonists of the story are Mordred and his father the king, Arthur. Lost as a youth, Mordred is raised by fisherfolk until he is returned to his birth mother Morgause. The novel portrays Mordred as a pawn of fate unlike many tales which paint him as the villain of the Arthurian saga.

The novel covers the time after Merlin's self-imposed exile and stretches to the deaths of Mordred and Arthur.

Bramwell Tillsley

Bramwell Harold Tillsley (August 18, 1931 - November 2, 2019)  was a Canadian salvationist and writer, who was the 14th General of The Salvation Army (1993–1994). General Tillsley died on Saturday, November 2, 2019, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Biography
The son of Salvationists, he was born in Kitchener, Ontario. His parents had emigrated in 1928 from the United Kingdom. As he grew up, he became a Junior Soldier and a Corps Cadet. He joined a Young People's (YP) Band and then a senior Band. When he won the honour student award at a music camp for his cornet playing, Maude Pitcher was the runner up. They married each other in 1953. Their first child, Barbara Tillsley, was born the following year. Bramwell and Maude Tillsley entered the training college as cadets in the 'Sword Bearers' session. In  1956, they became officers of The Salvation Army. Upon commissioning, they were appointed corps officers in Windsor, Nova Scotia, followed by Oakville, Ontario. They served for the next six years at the William Booth Memorial Training College in Toronto. Then they became the corps officers of North Toronto Corps. After that, the Tillsleys moved back to the training college so that Tillsley could take up the position of education officer. He went on to become a training officer, first in Newfoundland, then in the USA Eastern Territory.

The Tillsleys were soon promoted to lieutenant-colonel and they moved back to Newfoundland, with Colonel Tillsley appointed as the provincial commander. The position of divisional commander in the Metro-Toronto Division followed, bringing the Tillsleys to home ground. Tillsley became the principal of William Booth Memorial Training College in London, England in August 1981. He was appointed chief secretary of the USA Southern Territory in 1985. He was appointed as the territorial commander, Australia Southern in 1989. Commissioner Tillsley became chief of the staff at the international headquarters in London, England in 1991. He became General in 1993 on the fourth ballot with 29 votes in favour and 19 against. He held this role for only ten months and nine days before stepping down citing health reasons.

Shannon number

The Shannon number, named after the American mathematician Claude Shannon, is a conservative lower bound of the game-tree complexity of chess of 10120, based on an average of about 103 possibilities for a pair of moves consisting of a move for White followed by a move for Black, and a typical game lasting about 40 such pairs of moves.

Shannon's calculation 

Shannon showed a calculation for the lower bound of the game-tree complexity of chess, resulting in about 10120 possible games, to demonstrate the impracticality of solving chess by brute force, in his 1950 paper "Programming a Computer for Playing Chess". (This influential paper introduced the field of computer chess.)

Shannon also estimated the number of possible positions, "of the general order of , or roughly 1043".  This includes some illegal positions (e.g., pawns on the first rank, both kings in check) and excludes legal positions following captures and promotions.
							

After each player has moved a piece 5 times each (10 ply) there are 69,352,859,712,417 possible games that could have been played.

Tighter bounds

Upper 
Taking Shannon's numbers into account, Victor Allis calculated an upper bound of 5×1052 for the number of positions, and estimated the true number to be about 1050. Recent results improve that estimate, by proving an upper bound of 8.7x1045, and showing an upper bound 4×1037 in the absence of promotions.

Lower 
Allis also estimated the game-tree complexity to be at least 10123, "based on an average branching factor of 35 and an average game length of 80". As a comparison, the number of atoms in the observable universe, to which it is often compared, is roughly estimated to be 1080.

Accurate estimates 
John Tromp and Peter Österlund estimated the number of legal chess positions with a 95% confidence level at , based on an efficiently computable bijection between integers and chess positions.

Number of sensible chess games 
As a comparison to the Shannon number, if chess is analyzed for the number of "sensible" games that can be played (not counting ridiculous or obvious game-losing moves such as moving a queen to be immediately captured by a pawn without compensation), then the result is closer to around 1040 games. This is based on having a choice of about three sensible moves at each ply (half-move), and a game length of 80 plies (or, equivalently, 40 moves).

Independent candidates in the 1997 Canadian federal election

There were several independent and non-affiliated candidates in the 1997 Canadian federal election.  One such candidate, former Liberal John Nunziata, was elected in York South—Weston.  Information about other candidates may be found here.

Manitoba

Geoff Gorf Borden (Brandon—Souris)

Geoff Borden, nicknamed "Gorf" first campaigned for public office in the 1995 Brandon mayoral election.  He was a twenty-year-old part-time student, and said that he was running because he was tired of older people making decisions for him.  He opposed Sunday shopping.  Borden ran as an independent candidate in the 1997 federal election, campaigned for mayor again later in the year, and sought election to the Brandon City Council in 2002.

Greg Krawchuk (Winnipeg Centre)

Krawchuk was listed as a grocer. Greg Krawchuk ran on referendum and recall like in Switzerland. He was also against corrupt banking policies of the Bank of Canada. If the right procedures were put in place there would be no national debt in Canada. He received 148 votes (0.55%), finishing fifth against New Democratic Party candidate Pat Martin.

Saskatchewan

Sam Dyck (Wanuskewin)

Dyck listed himself as a farmer and businessman.  He unsuccessfully sought the Reform Party nomination against Maurice Vellacott, and later entered the contest as an independent.  Although a conservative on both fiscal and social issues, Dyck argued that he would not impose his personal views on others.  He was quoted as saying, "You can't legislate morality and that's the direction he (Vellacott) is going" (Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, 17 May 1997).  He received 420 votes (1.28%), finishing fifth against Vellacott.

He was elected to Ward Ten of the new Saskatoon district school board in 2005 (17 June 2005).

Who Killed Thomas Becket?

Who did Kill Thomas Becket in 1170? is a 2000 Channel 4 documentary concerning the murder of Thomas Becket, who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 to 1170. He is venerated as a saint and martyr by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion.

Becket engaged in conflict with Henry II of England over the rights and privileges of the Church and was assassinated by followers of the king in Canterbury Cathedral.

The documentary was directed by Andrew Chater and had appearances by actors Guy Henry as Thomas Becket, Rupert Wickham as Henry II, Alastair Cording as Foliot, Roger Monk as De Broc and Robert Glenister as the Narrator. The documentary took a fresh look at the murder of the medieval archbishop, and suggested that established historical theories concerning the killing fall short of explaining why Becket was murdered, and on whose orders. It featured powerful dramatisations and contributions from eminent scholars, telling a compelling story of the conflict between State and Church.

The village was first mentioned in 1254. After the Thirteen Years' War (1454–1466), the area became a part of a Polish fief held by the Teutonic Knights and by secular Ducal Prussia until 1657. From 1701, it formed part of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 it was also part of Germany. In 1878, the village had a population of 566, mostly employed in fishing.

It was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1945 upon the end of World War II and renamed Pionersky after the children's health camp of the Young Pioneer organization of the Soviet Union that was established in the town after the war by the new Soviet authorities. The town's small harbor, formerly used only for fishing, now accommodates sailboats and beach tourism.

Administrative and municipal status
Administratively, it is incorporated as the town of oblast significance of Pionersky—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. Municipally, the town of oblast significance of Pionersky is incorporated as Pionersky Urban Okrug.

Killikaike

Killikaike is an extinct genus of New World monkey. The genus includes one species, Killikaike blakei, that lived in Argentina during the Early Miocene.

Killikaike blakei was collected from the Santa Cruz Formation in the far south of Argentina in January, 2005 and the type specimen consists of a remarkably well preserved face.  The neurocranium is not present. The specimen was named for the locality where it was found Killik Aike Norte, on the estate of the Blake family.

Perry et al. (2014) considered K. blakei to be a junior synonym of Homunculus patagonicus, which is also known from the Santa Cruz Formation. However, Silvestro at al. (2017) considered Killikaike to be a distinct genus. Kay & Perry (2019) continued to regard the species as synonymous.

Andrew Kay

Andrew F. Kay (January 22, 1919 – August 28, 2014) was a businessman and innovator. He was President and CEO of Kaypro, a personal computer company, which at one time was the  world's fourth largest manufacturer of computers, and the largest in the world in sales of portable computers.

Kay, a 1940 graduate of MIT, started his career with Bendix followed by two years at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In 1952, Kay founded Non-Linear Systems, a manufacturer of digital instrumentation. NLS developed a reputation for providing rugged durability in critical applications for everything from submarines to spacecraft. At NLS he invented the digital voltmeter, in 1952. 

He founded Kaypro Corporation in 1982, which sold computers. In 1985, it had more than $120 million in revenues, dwarfing what had been its parent, NLS. But the company's success was relatively short-lived; in 1990 it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and it was liquidated in 1992.

In the late 1990s, Kay founded Kay Computers, which similarly manufactured and sold personal computers. The company lasted for less than ten years.

Kay later was a Senior Business Advisor to Accelerated Composites, LLC. 

He co-founded the Rotary Club of Del Mar, California. 

Andrew Kay died at age 95 in August of 2014.

W81

The W81 was a planned American warhead to be mounted on the SM-2 surface-to-air missile used by the United States Navy. The W81 was believed to be derived from the B61 nuclear bomb which forms the backbone of the current US nuclear gravity bomb arsenal and from which the W80 cruise missile warhead is derived. The weapon was being designed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (at the time called Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory).

Design
The W81 went through several design iterations, starting with an enhanced radiation model, then a pure fission model and cancelled in 1986.

Characteristics are not known in detail, but the B61 it is derived from has a physics package (bomb core) of about  diameter with length of , weighing around  (see the W80, another B61 derived design).  Available LASL images show a much shorter weapon, perhaps , probably the final fission-only W81 concept, corresponding with the size of the B61 fission primary alone.

The LASL image clearly shows the warhead taking up most, but not all, of the  SM-2 body diameter.

Twinsburg Public Library

The Twinsburg Public Library is located in Twinsburg, a community located northeast Summit County, Ohio, roughly halfway between Akron and Cleveland. It began as the Samuel Bissell Memorial Library in 1910 but its name was changed in 1931 to comply with new laws regarding tax funds. It is currently a school district library associated with the Twinsburg City School District.

In 1993 the library moved to its current location at 10050 Ravenna Road in Twinsburg in order to accommodate its rapidly growing collection and the need for audiovisual and computer rooms. Today the library serves a population of just over 20,000 and surpassed the one million mark in annual circulation in 2006. The library consistently achieves top-10 HAPLR (Hennen's American Public Library Ratings) rankings, and is a member of CLEVNET, a major consortium of public libraries that together provide access to over 11 million items to the Cleveland area and the rest of Ohio.

Stop Whispering

"Stop Whispering" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, included on their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). It was released as a single in the US in October 1993. Radiohead rerecorded it for the single release, as they were unsatisfied with the album version.

Recording
Radiohead recorded various demos of "Stop Whispering" while they were an unsigned band in Abingdgon, Oxfordshire. One version impressed the owner of another local studio, Chris Hufford, who became Radiohead's co-manager with his partner, Bryce Edge. 

Radiohead recorded "Stop Whispering" for their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). According to the co-producer, Paul Kolderie, "We tinkered with it a bit. It was kind of a sprawling thing and we weren't sure how long it would be." Radiohead re-recorded "Stop Whispering" for the US single, as they were not happy with the album version. The guitarist Ed O'Brien said the new version was more atmospheric, likening it to Joy Division.

Release 
"Stop Whispering" was the third single released from Pablo Honey. It was unsuccessful. It reached #23 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart in October 1993. In Australia, it was released as the follow-up to Radiohead's debut single, "Creep", on 7 February 1994, reaching #131 on the Australian ARIA singles chart. Jimmy Eat World covered the song on their EP Damage.

Track listing
"Stop Whispering" (US version) – 4:11
"Creep" (acoustic) – 4:19
"Pop Is Dead" – 2:12
"Inside My Head" (live) – 2:58

Note: The US version was remixed by Chris Sheldon and featured strings and a slower tempo than the original.

Hunting knife

A hunting knife is a knife used during hunting for preparing the game to be used as food: skinning the animal and cutting up the meat.  It is different from the hunting dagger which was traditionally used to kill wild game.

Some hunting knives are adapted for other uses in the wild; such as a camp knife, which hunters may use  as machetes or hatchets when those specific tools are not available. In this case, their function is similar to a survival knife.

Design

Hunting knives are traditionally designed for cutting rather than stabbing, and usually have a single sharpened edge. The blade is slightly curved on most models, and some hunting knives may have a blade that has both a curved portion for skinning, and a straight portion for cutting slices of meat. Some blades incorporate a guthook.  Most hunting knives designed as "skinners" have a rounded point as to not damage the skin as it is being removed.

Types of knife 
 Fixed-Blade- Fixed-blade versus a folding knife is both personal and practical. If the game you hunt is large and the terrain more rugged, a fixed blade knife is often a better option for its strength and dependability.
 Folding knives- Folding knives have the advantage of being easier to carry and to conceal. They are also considered safer. They can be kept in pocket easily.
 Out Of the Front Knives- OTF knives usually used by Military personnel.

Type of blade 

 Clip Point - The clip point knife blade is thin with a well-defined point. The blade itself is relatively flat. And this type of blade is used for the Dressing and Skinning.
 Drop Point- The blade of a drop point knife is thick and curved. It’s used to dress the animal and skinning.
 Skinning Blade- These types of blade specially designed for skinning. The blade quickly and neatly separates the skin from the meat.

Examples
Hunting knives include the puukko, the Yakutian knife, and the Sharpfinger. Most American designs are based on a smaller version of the Bowie knife. Knifemaker Bob Loveless popularized the drop point hunting knife and William Scagel popularized the Camp knife.
