Visual reasoning

Visual reasoning is the process of manipulating one's mental image of an object in order to reach a certain conclusion – for example, mentally constructing a piece of machinery to experiment with different mechanisms. In a frequently cited paper in the journal Science and a later book, Eugene S. Ferguson, a mechanical engineer and historian of technology, claims that visual reasoning is a widely used tool used in creating technological artefacts. There is ample evidence that visual methods, particularly drawing, play a central role in creating artefacts. Ferguson's visual reasoning also has parallels in philosopher David Gooding's argument that experimental scientists work with a combination of action, instruments, objects and procedures as well as words. That is, with a significant non-verbal component.

Ferguson argues that non-verbal reasoning does not get much attention in areas like history of technology and philosophy of science because the people involved are verbal rather than visual thinkers.

Those who use visual reasoning, notably architects, designers, engineers, and certain mathematicians conceive and manipulate objects in "the mind's eye" before putting them on paper. Having done this the paper or computer versions (in CAD) can be manipulated by metaphorically "building" the object on paper (or computer) before building it physically.

Nicola Tesla claimed that the first alternating current motor he built ran perfectly because he had visualized and "run" models of it in his mind before building the prototype.

Empress Li (Huiyi)

Empress Li (李皇后, personal name unknown) (died 409?) was an empress whose husband Gao Yun (Emperor Huiyi) is considered, depending on which historical view is involved, to have been either the last emperor of the Xianbei-led Chinese Later Yan dynasty or the first emperor of Later Yan's successor state Northern Yan dynasty.

Very little is known about Empress Li. After Gao Yun became emperor after his adoptive uncle Murong Xi (Emperor Zhaowen) was overthrown in 407, he created her empress in 408.  It is not known whether his crown prince Gao Pengcheng (高彭城) was her son or not. In 409, Gao Yun was assassinated, and general confusion ensued. It appeared that she died in that confusion as well, for when Gao Yun's successor Feng Ba (Emperor Wencheng) buried Gao Yun with imperial honors in 410, Empress Li was buried with Gao Yun.

Fireproof (Pillar album)

Fireproof is Christian band Pillar's second full-length album and their most successful, having sold over 300,000 copies. It was released in at least three different versions including a Remixed version and a limited Special Edition that came with Pillar's All Day Every Day DVD and a slipcase.  The track listings from the original and the reissue are very similar, rearranging the track listing a little and retitling the tracks "Just 2 Get By" to "Just to Get By" and "Further" to "Further From Myself". The title track, "Fireproof", was featured in the baseball video game MLB 2005 and on its soundtrack CD release. The song reached #39 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart on 7/5/03. This is the first record to feature current guitarist Noah Henson.

Critical reception

Fireproof garnered generally positive reception from five music critics. At CCM Magazine, Kevin Breuner graded the album an A−, saying that due to the high quality of the release the band should have a long future, and they are staking out their own "musical territory" on an album that comes with "Layers of interesting guitar work and well-crafted songs help take Fireproof beyond the typical power chords and guitar riffs that can become cliché to the genre." Founder Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms rated the album a nine out of a ten, stating that "Many of the lyrics here derive from Daniel 3 and with Pillar's call to radical commitment to Christ the melodic hooks, rapid syllable rapping and high octane drumming make this one of the best examples of commercial hard music you are likely to hear this year." At Christianity Today, Russ Breimeier rated the album three-and-a-half stars, calling it "a well-made project from everyone involved in its production". Founder John DiBiase of Jesus Freak Hideout rated the album three-and-a-half stars, writing that the release is "Maybe not innovative or anything all too original or new, [but] Fireproof is still a leap in the right direction for this young group." At AllMusic, Alex Henderson rated the album three stars, affirming that the release "isn't innovative", however noting that "there is a lot to like about this solid, if derivative, CD".

National Treasury (South Africa)

The National Treasury is one of the departments of the South African government. The Treasury manages national economic policy, prepares the South African government's annual budget and manages the government's finances. Along with the South African Revenue Service and Statistics South Africa, the Treasury falls within the portfolio of the Minister of Finance. Throughout the course of President Jacob Zuma's second administration, the ministry has undergone several changes. Most notably, Nhlanhla Nene was suddenly dismissed on 9 December 2015, without explanation, and replaced with a relatively unknown parliamentary back-bencher from the ruling ANC's caucus, David 'Des' van Rooyen for a record-total of 3 days. He was, in turn, replaced by Pravin Gordhan after the President faced significant pressure from political and business groups over the move. On 30 March 2017 Jacob Zuma axed Pravin Gordhan and appointed Malusi Gigaba as a Finance Minister. Following Zuma's resignation, President Cyril Ramaphosa returned Nhlanhla Nene as Minister in his cabinet reshuffle on 26 February 2018.

In the 2010 national budget, the Treasury received an appropriation of 1,504.4 million rand and had 730 employees.

The Treasury has been responsible for South African Airways since December 2014

University of Duisburg

The old University of Duisburg was a university in Duisburg, Germany.

History
Its origins date back to the 1555 decision to create a university for the unified duchies at the Lower Rhine that were later to be merged into Prussia. After the foundation of an academic college in 1559, a university was founded in 1655 by Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, the "Great Elector". The university had four faculties: Theology, Medicine, Law and Arts. During its period of activity it was one of the central and leading universities of the western provinces of Prussia. In the time the university existed many famous men graduated (listed in the German version of this article). It existed until 1818, when it was closed by King Frederick William III of Prussia. At the same time the University of Bonn was founded, which was given most of the library of the closed down University of Duisburg.

In 1968, the university was founded again in Duisburg, related to the old one, bearing the name: Comprehensive University of Duisburg. Initially only small, the university was developed rapidly in the 1970s up to about 15.000 students. The Comprehensive University of Duisburg was given the name of Gerhard Mercator in 1994. In 2003, the Gerhard Mercator University merged with the University of Essen to form the University of Duisburg-Essen, which is today one of the largest universities in Germany with about 40,000 students.

Le Verdon-sur-Mer

Le Verdon-sur-Mer (, literally The Verdon on Sea) is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

History
In the 11th century, the territory housed the priory of Saint-Nicholas de Grave, dependent on Cluny. It housed the monks in charge of maintaining the fire of Cordouan, off the mouth of the estuary. The priory is buried under the sands for an indefinite period.

Until 1874, the town was dependent on the commune of Soulac. This year was also the year of the construction of the Bordeaux-Le Verdon railway line which would open up the town and envisage a future port. The railway line started from Bordeaux in 1868 and did not reach the town until 1875, with the Point de Grave being reached in 1902.

Le Verdon was initially only a hamlet of Soulac which was a distance from Bourg, which had lived off salt production for a long period of time. The other main activities of the village are the exploitation of resources linked to the sea (fishing, oysters, shellfish, etc.) as well as subsistence farming.

Since the Middle Ages, Le Verdon has been known for its harbor, which is sheltered from prevailing westerly winds. Ships that leave the Gironde estuary park at the harbor before setting sail.

Brian Harrison (Conservative politician)

(Alastair) Brian Clarke Harrison  (3 October 1921 – 21 August 2011) was a British Conservative politician.

Harrison was born in 1921 in Melbourne, Australia. He was the son of the soldier and politician Eric Harrison. He was educated at Geelong Grammar School and during World War II served in the Australian Army from 1940 and as a volunteer with the Australian Independent Companies (Commandos) in Halmahera and Borneo.
 
After the war he was at Trinity College, Cambridge. He rowed for Cambridge in the record-breaking crew in the 1948 Boat Race. Most of the crew rowed for Great Britain in the 1948 Summer Olympics; Harrison did not participate in the Games as Australia did not enter a squad.

Harrison returned to Australia from 1950 to 1951 and studied immigration and development. As a descendant of Fiske Goodeve Fiske-Harrison he inherited Copford Hall, and became Lord of the manor of Copford in Essex, England where he then settled to become a farmer and estate manager. He became London director of the Commercial Bank of Australia in January 1966. He served as a councillor on Lexden and Winstree Rural District Council in Essex. He was also High Sheriff of Essex in 1979 and a deputy lieutenant of the county.

Harrison was elected in the 1955 general election as member of parliament (MP) for Maldon and served until he stood down in February 1974 general election. He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to John Hare while Hare was Minister of State for the Colonies between 1955 and 1956, Secretary of State for War from 1956 to 1958 and Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food from 1958 to 1960.

One Night in Paris

One Night in Paris – The Exciter Tour 2001 – A Live DVD by Anton Corbijn is a video release by Depeche Mode, featuring an entire concert from their 2001 Exciter Tour, shot at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on 9 and 10 October 2001. Although the cover only lists the second date, material from the first was used, as "It Doesn't Matter Two" was only played on the 9th. That song was replaced by "Sister of Night" the next day (and included as a bonus track on disc 2). Many fans were disappointed to see the popular song "Clean" (a regular on the tour, played on the first night in Paris) not included (no live version is officially released of the song to this date), "Condemnation" (from the second night, rarely performed in 2001, with several live versions previously available) taking its place in the film. It was directed and filmed by Anton Corbijn, and released on 27 May 2002.

The first disc features the full concert, while the second disc contains documentaries on the movie, interviews with the band, extra songs, tour projections, and more.

Background 
The DVD was directed by the band's long-time artistic collaborator Anton Corbijn at the sold-out Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in front of 16,000 people. The concert film was shot on anamorphic 16:9 Digital Betacam using 13 cameras.

Claude C. Hopkins

Claude C. Hopkins (1866–1932) was an American advertiser and author. He introduced the slogan in advertising and popularised the use of test campaigns, especially using coupons in direct mail, to properly attribute marketing spend.

Biography
Claude C. Hopkins was born in Hillsdale on April 24, 1866, received his education at Ludington and later attended a commercial school in Grand Rapids.

He worked for various advertising companies, including Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company, Swift & Company, and Dr. Shoop's patent medicine company. According to David Ogilvy, in 1907, at the age of 41, Hopkins was hired by Albert Lasker, owner of Lord & Thomas advertising, at a salary of $185,000 a year (). Hopkins insisted copywriters research their clients' products and produce "reason-why" copy. He believed that a good product and the atmosphere around it was often its own best salesperson, and, so he was a great believer in sampling.

To track the results of his advertising,  and then tested headlines, offers, and propositions against one another. He used the analysis of these measurements to improve his ad results, driving responses and the cost effectiveness of his clients' advertising. While working for the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company, Hopkins sent out five thousand letters recommending carpet sweepers as Christmas presents – one thousand people sent in orders.  He also convinced Bissell manufacturers to offer more variety of carpet sweepers, such as making them with twelve different types of wood.  Following these changes, Bissell sold two hundred fifty thousand in three weeks.

Hopkins has been credited with popularizing tooth brushing, as a result of his campaigns for Pepsodent.

His book Scientific Advertising was published in 1923, following his retirement from Lord & Thomas, where he finished his career as president and chairman. This book was followed, in 1927, by his autobiographical work My Life in Advertising. He died in September 1932 at Spring Lake.

PC Club

PC Club was a privately owned, United States-based chain of computer hardware stores established in City of Industry, California in 1992. The company closed all its stores on July 29, 2008. PC Club operated primarily in the West Coast states. It offered hardware and peripherals for PCs, as well as complete desktop and notebook computers assembled under the "Enpower" brand name.

History
Taiwanese businessman Jackson Lan founded PC Club in 1992 as its first CEO. Following Lan's death in 2005, the company went through turbulent times. Jeff Lan, Jackson's brother, was appointed president of the company in January 2006. On April 8, 2008, Jeff Lan was appointed advisor to a new PC Club chairman, James Cheng, while Sunny Lin was named the company's next president. However, in May 2008, all its brick-and-mortar stores were closed in addition to the company's e-commerce website (clubit.com) during another ownership transfer to NAOC. On May 16, the stores and website were reopened after the company was acquired for an undisclosed amount by NAOC Holdings, a leveraged buyout holding company.

On July 23, 2008, PC Club closed 14 of its locations. Less than a week later, on July 29, the store shut down the remainder of its locations.

Business model
PC Club sold directly to both consumers and local resellers through its brick-and-mortar stores and via its website. At one point, they had over 60 store locations in 12 different states, typically placed within walking distance of CompUSA, Best Buy or Fry's Electronics. It provided live tech support by phone, maintained an online forum, and answered questions through e-mail. In-store repairs and upgrades were available at all locations.

Marketing
PC Club promoted itself through mainstream advertising and word of mouth. PC Club also had TV commercials in limited areas.

Fruity Frank

Fruity Frank is a 1984 video game for the Amstrad CPC and MSX home computers. Produced by Kuma Software and authored by Steve Wallis with graphics by his brother Sean Wallis. The gameplay is very similar to Mr. Do!, though the story involves Frank protecting a garden from invading monsters.

Gameplay 
The player has to collect the fruits lying around the garden while avoiding touching the monsters. Apples can be pushed on these to kill them and offer temporary respite. Monsters can also be killed by throwing a bouncing apple pip at them. When all pieces of fruit have been collected the player proceeds to the next level. Each level is identifiable by a different colour background and a new jocular tune.

There are four types of enemies:

the yellow "big nose", slow: 20 points by shooting, 40 points by squashing
the violet "eggplant", fast, digging: 50 points by shooting, 100 points by squashing
the red "strawberry", very fast, digging: 100 points by shooting, 200 points by squashing
the green (spelling "Bonus")

Every 1000 points, Frank gains an extra life, with a maximum of two.

Music 
Music in the game is inspired from traditional English songs and rhymes.
 
Level 1 : "A Life on the Ocean Wave" (Royal Marines anthem)
Level 2 : "Where Have You Been All the Day, Billy Boy" (Irish version)
Level 3 : ???
Level 4 : "Sweet Molly Malone"
Level 5 : "The Jolly Beggar"
Level 6 : "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean"
Level 7 : "London Bridge Is Falling Down"

Pirenzepine

Pirenzepine (Gastrozepin), an M1 selective antagonist, is used in the treatment of peptic ulcers, as it reduces gastric acid secretion and reduces muscle spasm. It is in a class of drugs known as muscarinic receptor antagonists; acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system which initiates the rest-and-digest state (as opposed to fight-or-flight), resulting in an increase in gastric motility and digestion; whereas pirenzepine would inhibit these actions and cause decreased gastric motility leading to delayed gastric emptying and constipation. It has no effects on the brain and spinal cord as it cannot diffuse through the blood–brain barrier.

Pirenzepine has been investigated for use in myopia control.

It promotes the homodimerization or oligomerisation of M1 receptors.

Asamankese

Asamankese is a town in south Ghana and is the capital of West Akim Municipal District, a district in the Eastern Region of south Ghana. Asamankese has a 2013 settlement population of approximately 39,435 people. Asamankese is on the main highway to Kumasi and Accra in the interior.

History 
The modern city of Asamankese was founded and occupied by the Akwamu. The Akwamus moved south and eastward from Dormaa around the 14th century to Twifo-Heman, North West Cape Coast. The move was commercially motivated and settled at the Twifo-Heman forest in the later part of the 16th century. Akwamus are Akans, and belonged to the Aduana family who are blood brothers of Asumennya, Dormaa and Kumawu. According to oral tradition, a succession dispute resulted in Otomfuo (brass-smith) Asare deserted the family to form a new state or city called Asaremankesee (Asare's big state), now known as Asamankese.

Other settlers from Juaben in Ashanti settled at Asamankese. During the reign of Nana Dokua [as both okyehene (king) and ohemaa (queenmother)] of Akyem, a section of the Juabens of Ashanti revolted against the Golden Stool of Ashanti. The rebels, led by their chief, Nana Kwaku Boateng, were forced to leave Juaben in Ashanti for the south. They found settlement at Kyebi, Kwabeng, Tafo, Asamankese and other parts of Akyem Abuakwa.

Education  
In 1963, the natives of Asamankese founded a public mixed secondary school called Asamankese Senior High School (a.k.a. ASASCO).
