Integrated Transport Information System

The Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS) is a traffic management system in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The system began operation on 2005 with the cooperation of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Malaysian Highway Authority, Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR) and the Ministry of Transport Malaysia. The system is used for traffic monitoring, accident, construction and other situations that happen on the roads and highways in Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley. The main ITIS headquarters and traffic operation centre is located at Bukit Jalil Highway near Technology Park Malaysia in Bukit Jalil.

Mechanism 
The ITIS is a system made up of two core components, which are Advance Traffic Management System (ATMS) and Advance Travellers Information System (ATIS).

Advance Traffic Management System 
The ATMS acts as the eyes and ears of the ITIS where all traffic information are collected. The ATMS is made up of data collection units, which are CCTVs, Automatic Incident Detection System (AID System) and Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS). The data collection units relays the data to Transport Management Center (TMC) in Bukit Jalil for analysis and processing.

Automatic Incident Detection System
One of its components, Automatic Incident Detection System, is capable to detect incidents happening around the coverage area. The Automatic Incident Detection system relies on video image processing to calculate the average speed, count, occupancy etc. of each lane of travel. The data from these detectors forms the basis for the development of the congestion map which relate flow speed and occupancy over a specific road link. Intelligent image processing enables the detectors to automatically alert operators of prescribed incidents such as stopped vehicles and reverse flows.

Automatic Vehicle Location System
AVLS encompasses vehicles which are fitted with global positioning system tracking devices that allow these vehicles to be tracked 24-hours a day. These vehicles are used as traffic probes and the data collected is used to build speed profiles for a road network. The speed profiles are to be used to develop congestion maps for medium to long-term transport planning and for traffic engineering purposes.

Advance Traveller Information System 
The Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS) delivers real-time information of the traffic conditions to the public so that the congestion in the city would be reduced. The data are disseminated via Variable Message Signs (VMS), radio stations, the Internet and the ITIS Call Centre.

ITIS in enforcement 
There are widespread of criticisms citing that the ITIS is a white elephant. In 2007, the Ministry of Transport Malaysia implemented the Automated Enforcement System (AES). However, the highly sophisticated ITIS is not part of the AES.

Central Park, Plymouth

Plymouth's Central Park is situated to the north-east of Plymouth city centre in south-west Devon, England. Covering 68 hectares, Central Park is the largest park in Plymouth. It was created in 1928 with the aim to improve the health of the city's residents. The park is trust land; developments on the land must be for the purpose of leisure activities.

Activities and facilities 
The park has multiple sports and recreation facilities such as football, rugby, and cricket pitches, as well as a golf course, a bowling green, a baseball diamond, and the Central Park Leisure Pools. It is also known for the Mayflower Leisure Centre and Home Park Stadium, which is home to the Plymouth Argyle Football Club.

History 
In 1923, the land for the park, previously used for agriculture, was sold cheaply to the City Council on the condition that it was to remain a public open space. A plan was presented for the space in 1928, and the laying out of the park was approved in 1929. The park opened in 1931 but many of the planned features were never built due to funding shortages.

In the mid-1990s, Plymouth Argyle had plans to build a completely new 25,000-seat stadium in the area. These were cancelled in favour of redeveloping Home Park.

The playground area, themed on continents of the world, was demolished and rebuilt out of wood in 2018 as part of a £9 million redevelopment project for the park. 

In 2007 the council opted to demolish the ageing Leisure Pools and Mayflower Leisure Centre rather than refurbish them and replace them with a new larger combined indoor sports complex (Plymouth Life Centre) with multi-purpose indoor pitches, basketball court, swimming pool and a café among other venues. By 2012 the Mayflower Leisure Centre and the Central Park Leisure Pools had been demolished, and the Plymouth Life Centre was officially opened on Saturday 24 March.

William Wilson Saunders

William Wilson Saunders FRS (4 June 1809 – 13 September 1879) was a British insurance broker, entomologist and botanist.

Saunders was an underwriter at Lloyd's of London. He served as president of the Entomological Society from 1841 to 1842 and again from 1856 to 1857, was treasurer of the Linnean Society of London from 1861 to 1873 and was a Fellow of the Royal Society from 1853.

Saunders who lived at Reigate was also a well known horticulturalist. His entomological interests centred on Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera but his collection contained insects from all orders.

Saunder's Diptera collection contained many new species. These were described in a series of papers by Francis Walker entitled  Insecta Saundersiana.

"Nearly two thousand of my Coleoptera, and many hundreds of my butterflies, have been already described by various eminent naturalists, British and foreign; but a much larger number remains undescribed. Among those to whom science is most indebted for this laborious work, I must name Mr. F. P. Pascoe, late President of the Entomological Society of London, who had almost completed the classification and description of my large collection of Longicorn beetles (now in his possession), comprising more than a thousand species, of which at least nine hundred were previously undescribed and new to European cabinets. The remaining orders of insects, comprising probably more than two thousand species, are in the collection of Mr. William Wilson Saunders, who has caused the larger portion of them to be described by good entomologists. The Hymenoptera alone amounted to more than nine hundred species, among which were two hundred and eighty different kinds of ants, of which two hundred were new ". Alfred R. Wallace- The Malay Archipelago.

Gilbert Odd

Gilbert Odd (1902 – 12 May 1996) was a British boxing historian and sportswriter.

Odd boxed briefly as an amateur, then at 18 turned his sights on the sports writing side of the game, becoming a ringside correspondent for the weekly magazine, Boxing.  Starting in 1941 and continuing for ten years after, he served as Editor in Chief of Boxing News, the successor to Boxing.  In 1944, he began assisting in the publication of The Boxers Annual, which compiled the records of both professional and amateur boxers.  In addition, he began the publication of a similar record book, the Boxing News Authors' and Record Book.  Throughout the process of compiling and publishing these records, Odd became known as the best boxing historian in England.

Odd was a member of the British Boxing Board of Control from 1961 to 1969 and became a founding member of the Boxing Writers' Club.  He also is the only journalist to be made an honorary member of the National Sporting Club.  Odd was enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995.  He retired to Northiam, where he lived until his death in 1996.

Bibliography

Odd has written literally hundreds of articles on boxing for various publications.  In addition, he has published over a dozen books, among them:

New Trafalgar Dispatch

The New Trafalgar Dispatch was part of the bicentenary celebrations of Lord Nelson's famous and momentous victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, in 1805. The prolonged and multi-focal ceremony took place between July and September 2005.

An actor, Alex Price, played the central role of Lieutenant Lapenotiere and recreated the delivery of Vice Admiral Collingwood’s original dispatch (report) to the Admiralty. The original dispatch was carried by HMS Pickle from the fleet off Cape Trafalgar to Falmouth.  From there, Lapenotiere travelled by post chaise to London, in the very fast time of 37 hours.

In the re-enactment, the specially built replica post chaise visited various points, between Falmouth and London, many of them on the original route. Individual ceremonies were re-enacted with the post chaise at some of the 'stops', including Falmouth, Truro, Fraddon, Bodmin, Launceston, Okehampton, Exeter, Honiton, Axminster, Bridport, Dorchester, Lyme Regis, Salisbury, Andover, Bagshot, Staines and London, at each of which was read the specially drafted message, emphasising the sacrifice and courage of the participants of both sides, in that famous battle. Alex Price also delivered the same message without the post chaise but with a historic mail coach at Lifton, Bridestowe, Sticklepath, Crockernwell, Tedburn St Mary, Nadderwater, Clyst Honiton, Wilmington and Kilmington. The ceremonies also included the unveiling of permanent commemorative plaques to inaugurate and mark The Trafalgar Way.

Beauvericin

Beauvericin is a depsipeptide with antibiotic and insecticidal effects belonging to the enniatin family. It was isolated from the fungus Beauveria bassiana, but is also produced by several other fungi, including several Fusarium species; it may therefore occur in grain (such as corn, wheat and barley) contaminated with these fungi. Beauvericin is active against Gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria, and is also capable of inducing programmed cell death in mammals.

Chemically, beauvericin is a cyclic hexadepsipeptide with alternating N-methyl-phenylalanyl and D-hydroxy-iso-valeryl residues. Its ion-complexing capability allows beauvericin to transport alkaline earth metal and alkali metal ions across cell membranes.

Beauvericin has in vitro fungicidal effects on Candida parapsilosis when used in combination with the antifungal drug ketoconazole at dosages of 0.1 μg/ml.  Increased survivability rates and low cytotoxicity were also observed in mouse models.

State Route 200 (SR 200) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California near Arcata in Humboldt County. It is a cut-off connecting U.S. Route 101 and State Route 299.  It runs along the north bank of the Mad River, to the north of the 101-299 junction.

Route description
The road begins with a complex interchange at U.S. Route 101 just north of Arcata, where entrance to US 101 and exit from the freeway are slightly separated. The road then heads eastward through a forested area in the Azalea State Reserve just north of the Mad River. The road continues to parallel the river with various roads branching off it until it reaches its eastern terminus at State Route 299, the Trinity Scenic Byway, with an interchange.

SR 200 is not part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.

DCU Students' Union

DCU Students' Union (DCUSU) is a students' union representing Dublin City University (DCU) students. DCUSU provides social events and activities for undergraduate students and is also involved in the provision of some services including counselling and an official representation pathway between students and university authorities. DCUSU has offices located in 'The U' on the Glasnevin campus and also on St Patrick's Campus, the major Drumcondra campus.  DCUSU is governed by a written constitution approved by the members and the university's Governing Body.

Role
The roles of the Union include acting as a representative channel between students and DCU authorities, and providing social activities for students. All full-time and part-time students of DCU are members of the Students' Union.

DCU's associated colleges, All Hallows College, Mater Dei Institute of Education, and St Patrick's College, had their own student representation before the DCU incorporation and are now represented by the same body.

Governance
DCUSU is governed by a constitution. Amendments to the constitution may be passed after a referendum. For example, in March 2017 a referendum was held to change the constitution, with 1,731 students voting in favour. Referendums in 2016 resulted in the Students' Union declaring a pro-choice stance on abortion, and support for legalisation of cannabis use by adults.

Although there is no formal or full-time Postgraduate Students' Union present in DCU, the formation of a Postgraduate Students' Union has been discussed since 2012 and in 2017, the Class Representative Council mandated the President to develop a framework for a Postgraduate Students' Union.

Funding and affiliation
The Students' Union is funded through the Office of Student Life (OSL), which is overseen by an Executive, a committee made up of students and university staff. As of 2017, the OSL supports and sponsors over 140 student run clubs and societies.

DCU Students' Union is a member of the Union of Students in Ireland. Having voted to disaffiliate in 2002, a referendum which took place in March 2013, where the student body had voted to re-affiliate with USI, was declared void by then Students' Union President Paul Doherty. He questioned the constitutionality of the vote, alleging that the students' union executive did not run an information campaign for the referendum. This nullification was criticised by USI, which blamed a "small cohort" in DCU for the nullification. While a referendum on USI membership in February 2014 was passed by only one vote, a majority of students voted to remain affiliated with USI in December 2016.

Toppin was born in Twickenham in 1881. His first job was at the Science and Art Museum, Dublin from 1901 to 1906, until he gained the post of First Assistant to the Keeper of Irish Antiquities at the National Museum of Ireland in 1906. In 1907, he was promoted to the position of Assistant Keeper of the Art and Antiquities Division, a position which he held until his retirement from Ireland in 1923.

Toppin also served ably during World War I and was a captain in the Third Battalion, the Royal Irish Rifles.  His heraldic career began on 24 July 1923, when Toppin was appointed Bluemantle Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary. In 1932, Toppin was promoted to the rank of herald of arms when he was made York Herald of Arms in Ordinary.  He held this position until 1957, when he was made Norroy and Ulster King of Arms.  When Toppin retired from this post in 1966, he was appointed Maltravers Herald of Arms Extraordinary and held that position until his death three years later.

Mayor's and City of London Court

The Mayor's and City of London Court is a sitting of the County Court in the City of London. It is located at Guildhall Buildings, Basinghall Street.

History
The current court is the successor to courts pre-dating the County Courts Act 1846, which introduced the modern system of county courts. The 1846 Act deliberately did not extend to the City of London, where the prior constituted courts continued to exercise jurisdiction:

The Palace Court also exercised jurisdiction within the City in certain cases before its abolition in 1849.

The two courts were combined with effect from 1 January 1921 by the Mayor's and City of London Court Act 1920. High Court procedure was declared to apply to matters formerly dealt with by the Mayor's Court, while county court procedure applied to matters falling under the City of London Court.

1971 reform
Under s. 42 of the Courts Act 1971, the old Mayor's and City of London Court was abolished, the City of London was made a county court district, and the new county court for the city of London was given the name of its predecessor. It was the only county court not to contain "county" in its title. The individual county courts have since been replaced by a single County Court for England and Wales.

Alan Wong

Alan Wong is a chef and restaurateur known as one of 12 co-founders (along with Sam Choy, Roy Ambel Yamaguchi, Peter Merriman, Bev Gannon and more) of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. They came together to form an organization to create a new American regional cuisine, highlighting Hawaii's locally grown ingredients and diverse ethnic styles.  In 1994 they all came together and compiled a cookbook, The New Cuisine of Hawaii, to be sold for charity. Wong and Choy are alumni of the Kapiolani Community College Culinary Arts program. Wong had several restaurants in Hawaii, as well as one in Japan.

In 2009, Wong cooked a luau at the White House for President Obama at the annual White House Congressional picnic for members of Congress and their families.

In 2004, Wong appeared as a guest judge on the television cooking competition Top Chef (the episode, part one of the season two finale, aired on January 24, 2007). The Top Chef contestants, after enjoying a luncheon hosted by Wong welcoming them to Hawaii, were challenged to cater his birthday luau.

In 2007, he was awarded Chef of the Year by Santé Magazine. Also in 2001, Gourmet ranked one of his restaurants number six in a listing of America's Best Fifty Restaurants. In 1996, he was awarded the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Pacific Northwest. In 1994, Wong was recognized by Robert Mondavi Winery as one of 13 Rising Star Chefs in America.

Other interests

Currently all of Wong's restaurants have closed. The first to open and last to close, Alan Wong's King Street (Honolulu, HI) closed November, 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic. His other ventures that have closed include The Pineapple Room (2017), Honolulu, HI, Amasia (2014), Grand Wailea Resort, Maui, Alan Wong's Shanghai (2017) China, and Alan Wong's Hawaii, which was located in Tokyo Disneyland in Maihama, Japan.

German West African Company

The German West African Company, in German Deutsch-Westafrikanische Gesellschaft / Compagnie, was a German chartered company, founded in 1885.  It exploited the two German protectorates in German West Africa (Togo and Cameroon) but did not actually govern them — unlike its counterpart in German East Africa.

History 
The German West African Company was established as a chartered company with a headquarters in Hamburg.  The company was active in both Kamerun and Togoland.  Following years of little profits, the company was absorbed by the German Empire on November 13, 1903.

Supplemental type certificate

A supplemental type certificate (STC) is a civil aviation authority-approved major modification or repair to an existing type certified aircraft, engine or propeller. As it adds to the existing type certificate, it is deemed "supplemental".  In the United States issuance of such certificates is under the purview of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Advantages
Some civil aviation authorities also issue Limited or LSTCs that are only applicable to a single aircraft or small number of specific serial numbers.

Regulation
The United States regulations for STCs are found at 14 CFR 21.111.

The European Union regulations for STCs are found Commission Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 of 3 August 2012 as amended, Part-21, Subpart E et seq.

In 2010 at the US/Europe International Aviation Safety Conference, Eurocopter discussed concerns about potential risks with, and incompatibilities in, STCs.  In response the Modification and Replacement Parts Association  (MARPA) highlighted the success that the Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) industry had experienced in implementing Continued Operational Safety (COS) programs for the prediction and proactive addressing of hazards.

Jin Xuan

Jin Xuan (died 209), courtesy name Yuanji, was an official and minor warlord who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.

Life
Jin Xuan was a descendant of Jin Midi and was from Jingzhao Commandery (京兆郡; around present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi). He held several appointments in Han central government, including Gentleman of the Yellow Gate (), Consultant () and General of the Household (), before serving as the Administrator () of Wuling Commandery (武陵郡; around present-day Changde, Hunan).

After the Battle of Red Cliffs in 208, the warlord Liu Bei set off to attack the four commanderies in southern Jing Province, namely Changsha, Guiyang, Lingling and Wuling. The Sanfu Juelu zhu () mentioned that Jin Xuan was killed in battle and Wuling Commandery became part of Liu Bei's territories, but the Sanguozhi recorded that the Administrators of the four commanderies surrendered to Liu Bei.

Family
Jin Xuan had a son, Jin Yi (), whose courtesy name was Deyi (). In 218, Jin Yi, along with Ji Ben, Geng Ji (), Wei Huang () and others, started a rebellion in Xu (許; present-day Xuchang, Henan) against the warlord Cao Cao and injured Wang Bi (), an official serving under Cao Cao. The rebellion was eventually suppressed by Wang Bi and a general Yan Kuang (). All the conspirators, including Jin Yi, were rounded up and executed.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Jin Xuan appears in chapter 53 of the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms as the Administrator of Wuling Commandery. At that time, Liu Bei sent his general Zhang Fei to attack Wuling Commandery. Jin Xuan wanted to resist the invaders but his Assistant Officer, Gong Zhi, advised him to surrender. The following day, Jin Xuan fought with Zhang Fei outside the city but was defeated and forced to retreat. However, he was betrayed by Gong Zhi, who killed him with an arrow shot to the face. Gong Zhi later surrendered Wuling to Zhang Fei.

Manastash Ridge

Manastash Ridge is a long anticline mountain ridge located in central Washington state in the United States. Manastash Ridge runs mostly west-to-east in Kittitas and Yakima counties, for approximately 50 miles. The ridge is part of the Yakima Fold Belt of east-tending long ridges formed by the folding of Miocene Columbia River basalt flows.

The name Manastash comes from the Sahaptin word /máːmaštaš/, possibly meaning "we are going root digging".

The highest point in Manastash Ridge is Manastash Peak at , located  west of Ellensburg, Washington. Interstate 82 crosses through the eastern portion of the ridge; the Manastash Ridge Summit is located at milepost 7 of the interstate (south of Ellensburg) or about  north of Yakima, Washington at an elevation of .

In addition to Manastash Peak, Manastash Ridge includes the peaks of Quartz Mountain (), Mount Clifty (), and Lookout Mountain (). The astronomy department of the University of Washington maintains the Manastash Ridge Observatory, located about  west-southwest of Ellensburg.
