Have You Lived Before This Life?

Have You Lived Before This Life is a book published by L. Ron Hubbard in 1958. It was one of the canonical texts of Scientology,
 
The book was Hubbard's response to the success of the Bridey Murphy phenomenon in the UK. Hubbard saw this as an opportunity to increase public interest in past life regression.

It purports to be a collection of "forty-one actual case histories" of reincarnation and past-life experiences, gleaned from auditing with an e-meter at the Church of Scientology's "Fifth London Advanced Clinical Course" held in October-November, 1958. Some of these "case histories" took place on other worlds or in the extremely distant past. The book was based on an earlier privately printed softcover circulation made available to students who attended that course.

Scientology's official website says of the book: "The major portion of the book is devoted to the auditing case histories of individuals, detailing their memories of past lives. These case histories graphically show how a person’s attitudes and actions in present time can be affected by incidents in his or her past lifetimes. They also document the improvements that occurred when such incidents were addressed and run out in auditing."

Reception
In her book The Scandal of Scientology, Paulette Cooper examined the often fantastical nature of the past lives described, referred to by Hubbard as "space opera":

"Hubbard has devoted a special book called Have You Lived Before This Life: A Scientific Survey just to past-life case histories of Scientologists. The preface of this book also contains the names and addresses of the people who took part in the experiment so that the cynical could check its facts ... Most of the Scientologists who relived their past lives believed that they had once been plain people, or very often space people, and for plots, their histories read like a type of science-fiction sadomasochism."

Unpublished sequel
According to Cooper, Hubbard announced a sequel called Where Were You Buried? was in the works. He instructed his auditors to check all preclears for recent deaths, and then to physically locate their place of burial.

W10BM

W10BM (channel 10) was a low power television station in Morehead, Kentucky, United States, that later operated unlicensed and was fined as a pirate station by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Licensed broadcast term
The FCC granted an amended construction permit for W10BM by December 4, 1987, and a license by March 29, 1990.  A license renewal expired on August 1, 1998. The licensed parameters were for 18 watts at  above ground level, broadcasting on VHF channel 10 with a city of license of Morehead, Kentucky, and licensee named as Vearl Pennington at a post office box in Mount Sterling, Kentucky.

On April 27, 2004, the FCC sent the Mount Sterling post office box a letter saying that W10BM at Morehead, as well as W06BC at Mount Sterling, would be cancelled unless the FCC received a response. On October 18, 2004, a letter was sent to the same address, stating that no response was received and both station licenses were cancelled.

Pirate broadcasts and fines
On May 12, 2017, the FCC fined the station's operators, Vearl Pennington and Michael Williamson, $144,344 for continuing to operate W10BM despite the cancellation of the license. The fine was upheld on January 28, 2019.

The channel remained on the air through carriage via local Spectrum systems, until it was dropped on February 23, 2022. If it was still broadcasting using its transmitter, likewise, it also violated the FCC's July 13, 2021, deadline for all analog television operations to end.

IK Sirius

Idrottsklubben Sirius, commonly known as IK Sirius or Sirius, is a Swedish sports club located in Uppsala. Today IK Sirius is active in bandy, floorball, and football as an .

History
The sports club that became IK Sirius was founded on 9 August 1907 in the area of Svartbäcken in Uppsala, and got its current name on 5 April 1908 after having been discussing Svartbäckens IK and IK Spurt. At the time, several sports club existed in the city of Uppsala: IFK Uppsala, IF Thor, IF Heimdal, and Upsala IF. The sports club was founded for athletics, and took up cross-country skiing, bandy and football in 1908. During the first half of the 20th century, the sports club has also practised canoeing, swimming, handball, ice hockey, tennis, wrestling, boxing, and orienteering.

In 1980, the ice hockey department was dissolved. In 1991, the two remaining departments of football and bandy split and choose to act as a  using the same name.

In 1999, the floorball club IBK JT 97 joined IK Sirius.

Etterville, Missouri

Etterville is an unincorporated community in northern Miller County, Missouri, United States. It is located six miles east of Eldon on U.S. Route 54.

A variant name was "Etter". Some say Etterville was named after Samuel Etter, a liquor producer, while others believe the community has the name of the local Etter family. A post office called Etter was established in 1903, the name was changed to Etterville in 1904; and the post office closed in 2000.

Pink Mountaintops (album)

Pink Mountaintops is the debut album by Pink Mountaintops, released by Jagjaguwar in 2004.

Track listing
 "Bad Boogie Ballin'" – 3:32
 "Rock'n'roll Fantasy" – 3:36
 "I (Fuck) Mountains" – 4:42
 "Can You Do That Dance?" – 3:35
 "Sweet '69" – 4:02
 "Leslie" – 4:21
 "Tourist in Your Town" – 4:27
 "Atmosphere" – 4:53

Additional information
This record was not noted by the indie rock scene until 2005, when Stephen McBean's other band, Black Mountain, released their debut record (also on Jagjaguwar). Stephen McBean supposedly wrote the material when Jerk With a Bomb (who turned into the previously mentioned band) were on tour, and hastily recorded it in three weeks once back in Vancouver. The tracks have a strong sexual imagery, bearing names like Sweet '69 and I (Fuck) Mountains. McBean claimed the Pink Mountaintops would drop the sexual sound for their next LP.  The track 'Can You Do That Dance' was used in the UK TV advertisement for Beck's Vier lager (May 2007).

The song "Leslie" appears near the beginning of the Canadian indie movie Leslie, My Name Is Evil. The song also played a part in the film's title.  The director, Reginald Harkema, was reading about the Charles Manson-instigated murders while repeatedly listening to this album. One of the people involved with the Manson family was Leslie Van Houten. He said he misheard the lyrics in the song as "Leslie, my name is evil" instead of the actual words, "Leslie, my name's not Eva." When he decided to make a movie about the Manson murders, he used this misheard lyric as its title.

Ruth Berkeley White

Ruth (Berkeley) White was an early American Baháʼí who became known for challenging the Will and Testament of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, one of the founding documents behind the Baháʼí administration. She was designated a Covenant-breaker by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's successor, Shoghi Effendi.

White met ʻAbdu'l-Bahá in 1912 in America, and again in 1920 when she went on pilgrimage to Haifa. When ʻAbdu'l-Bahá passed away in 1921, he left a will that designated Shoghi Effendi as the one that Baháʼís should turn to for guidance. It was this appointment that she opposed, and she went on to claim that the will was forged. Her claim was based in part on her belief that ʻAbdu'l-Bahá would never advocate for a hierarchy, much less the establishment of a "papacy".

During her time of opposition, White wrote several letters to the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baháʼís of the United States and Canada objecting to Shoghi Effendi and the idea of Spiritual Assemblies. She wrote a letter to the United States Postmaster General requesting that the National Spiritual Assembly not be allowed to use the mail system, and she also wrote to the High Commissioners for Palestine with complaints about Shoghi Effendi.

White hired a criminologist Charles Ainsworth Mitchell to review photocopies of the original Will and Testament of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá in an attempt to prove it was a forgery. Neither White nor Mitchell could read Persian, and her claims of a forgery were not taken up by many other Baháʼís opposed to Shoghi Effendi, such as Ahmad Sohrab. 

White was designated a Covenant-breaker by Shoghi Effendi, and was excommunicated sometime after 1926 when the extent of her opposition became clear.

Friedebert Tuglas

Friedebert Tuglas, born Friedebert Mihkelson or Michelson (2 March 1886 – 15 April 1971) was an Estonian writer and critic who introduced Impressionism and Symbolism to Estonian literature. Persecuted by the authorities in the beginning of 20th century, he later became an acknowledged representative of Estonian literature in the Soviet era.

Biography
Tuglas was born in Ahja, the son of a carpenter, and studied at the Hugo Treffner Gymnasium from 1904 to 1905. After imprisonment for revolutionary activities, he went into exile in 1906, living in Finland, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and France, before returning to Estonia in time for the February revolution of 1917.

His most famous short story is Popi ja Huhuu. He was the member of the Siuru literary group and leader of Estonian literary group Young Estonia (Noor-Eesti) in the beginning of 20th century. He was one of the founders of the Estonian Writers' Union and served as its chairman in 1922, 1925–1927 and 1937–1939.

Tuglas was granted the title of People's Writer of the Estonian SSR in 1946. The same year he was elected a corresponding member of the Soviet Estonian Academy of Sciences. He subsequently fell into disfavor, officially blacklisted, deprived of his civil rights and excluded from membership in all institutions, including the Writers’ Union, from which he was expelled in 1950.

Tuglas died in Tallinn in 1971, aged 85, not long after completing his memoirs, acknowledged as a major work in the writer's life. A museum commemorating his life was opened in Tallinn the same year. A short story prize commemorating Tuglas was established in 1971.

A selection of Tuglas' stories is available in English entitled The Poet and the Idiot and Other Stories (Central European University Press, Budapest & New York, 2007, translated by Eric Dickens). A number of Tuglas' other stories were translated into English during Soviet times.

WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne

The WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne (German: WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln) is a German radio orchestra based in Cologne, where the orchestra mainly performs at two concert halls: the WDR Funkhaus Wallrafplatz and the Kölner Philharmonie.

History

The orchestra was founded in 1947 by Allied occupation authorities after World War II, as the orchestra of Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR; Northwest German Radio), with the name Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester (Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra). The orchestra became particularly known for its performances of 20th-century and contemporary music. It has commissioned and premiered works from such composers as Luciano Berio, Hans Werner Henze, Mauricio Kagel, Krzysztof Penderecki, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. 

For the first part of its history, the orchestra did not have a principal conductor, but worked with guest conductors. Christoph von Dohnányi was the first conductor to serve as the orchestra's principal conductor, from 1964 to 1969. In the 1990s, the orchestra changed its name to the WDR Sinfonieorchester (WDR Symphony Orchestra).

In February 2017, Cristian Măcelaru first guest-conducted the orchestra. He returned for three subsequent guest appearances with the orchestra. In May 2019, the orchestra announced the appointment of Măcelaru as its next chief conductor, effective with the 2019–2020 season, with an initial contract of 3 years. In June 2020, the orchestra announced an extension of Măcelaru's contract through July 2025.  In October 2023, the orchestra announced that Măcelaru is to stand down as its chief conductor at the close of the 2024-2025 season, and to take the title of Artistic Partner for the 2025-2026 season.

The orchestra has recorded commercially for such labels as Avie, Hänssler, Kairos, CPO, and Wergo.

Wien approximation

Wien's approximation (also sometimes called Wien's law or the Wien distribution law) is a law of physics used to describe the spectrum of thermal radiation (frequently called the blackbody function).  This law was first derived by Wilhelm Wien in 1896.  The equation does accurately describe the short-wavelength (high-frequency) spectrum of thermal emission from objects, but it fails to accurately fit the experimental data for long-wavelength (low-frequency) emission.

Details
Wien derived his law from thermodynamic arguments, several years before Planck introduced the quantization of radiation.

Wien's original paper did not contain the Planck constant. In this paper, Wien took the wavelength of black-body radiation and combined it with the  Maxwell–Boltzmann energy distribution for atoms.  The exponential curve was created by the use of Euler's number e raised to the power of the temperature multiplied by a constant.  Fundamental constants were later introduced by Max Planck.  

The law may be written as

(note the simple exponential frequency dependence of this approximation) or, by introducing natural Planck units,

where:

This equation may also be written as

where  is the amount of energy per unit surface area per unit time per unit solid angle per unit wavelength emitted at a wavelength λ.

The peak value of this curve, as determined by setting the derivative of the equation equal to zero and solving, occurs at
a wavelength

and frequency

Relation to Planck's law

The Wien approximation was originally proposed as a description of the complete spectrum of thermal radiation, although it failed to accurately describe long-wavelength (low-frequency) emission.  However, it was soon superseded by Planck's law, which accurately describes the full spectrum, derived by treating the radiation as a photon gas and accordingly applying  Bose–Einstein in place of Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics. Planck's law may be given as

The Wien approximation may be derived from Planck's law by assuming .  When this is true, then

and so Planck's law approximately equals the Wien approximation at high frequencies.

Other approximations of thermal radiation

The Rayleigh–Jeans law developed by Lord Rayleigh may be used to accurately describe the long wavelength spectrum of thermal radiation but fails to describe the short wavelength spectrum of thermal emission.

Dan and Louis Oyster Bar

Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is a seafood restaurant in Portland, Oregon described by Fodor's as a "Portland landmark".  As its name implies, it specializes in oysters — from Yaquina Bay and beyond — served raw and in an oyster stew the restaurant has been known for over 100 years.

The restaurant has been in business at the same location since 1907 when it was founded by Louis C. Wachsmuth as a raw oyster bar.  Louis was the son of Meinert Wachsmuth, a Danish immigrant who had farmed his own oyster beds on Yaquina Bay.  The bay became the home of a farm, the oldest in Oregon, established to provide the oyster bar with a regular supply of oysters.

The menu was expanded in 1919 when Wachsmuth took over the food bar of the Merchant's Exchange Saloon.  Dining rooms were added in 1937 and 1940. The restaurant remains under Wachsmuth family ownership into the 21st century, and is currently operated by Meinert Keoni Wachsmuth.

Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is located in Old Town, at 208 SW Ankeny Street.

History
A descendant of Meinert Wachsmuth, Cory Schreiber, began his restaurant career at Dan & Louis (at the age of 11); years later, he founded his own Portland-based restaurant (Wildwood) and won a James Beard Foundation Award for his cuisine.

Jadir Ambrósio

Jadir Ambrósio (December 8, 1922 – September 30, 2014) was a Brazilian musician. He took a course on piano, singing, and chorus at the Conservatório Mineiro de Música in Belo Horizonte. It was the Conservatory the place chosen for the musician to distill his emotion. Where in 1965, at 43 years old, he composed the lyrics and music to the “Hino ao Campeão Cruzeiro Esporte Clube”, for Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, of Minas Gerais, the team of his heart, and one of the most popular Brazilian football teams.

Jadir Ambrósio participated in many diverse musical groups. Among his works he also composed a popular samba that spoke of the love between brothers. "A música agradou e, desde então, nunca mais parei de compor," (the music pleases, and ever since (I understood that), I will never stop composing), he said. Today he has made more than 500 compositions, many of recorded for famous artists, like Luiz Gonzaga and Clara Nunes.

The musician tells: "To make an anthem for Cruzeiro one has to be a great poet. Then, I did not have these attentions. It happens that, (the song), it pleased its genre. Later, the song was played to the audiences of the radios, that when Adair Pinto had a program on the Rua São Paulo the group of the Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, the group of the Atlético Mineiro, and the group of América Futebol Clube had their anthems played there, and this was falling in the popular taste. So I usually say that this music came from God."

Edge pull

An edge pull is a skill in figure skating that allows the skater to gain speed while skating on one foot by rocking between inside and outside edges. The momentum across the ice derives from a rising and falling knee action on each lobe which creates pressure against the edge, accompanied by a distinctive "tearing" sound. Another common name for this move is power pull.

Edge pulls can be performed either forwards or backwards. In a series of forward edge pulls, the free foot is typically held in front of the skating foot, and slightly raised. In backward edge pulls, the free foot is held behind the skating foot.  

Edge pulls are considered a fairly basic moves in the field skating skill and appear most commonly in competitive skating programs as a means to maintain or gain speed in step sequences performed on one foot. They are also a common part of skaters' warm-up repertoire. The USFSA moves in the field tests include power pulls in several incarnations at the Pre-Juvenile, Junior and Senior tests.

Ersuic languages

The Ersuic languages (, Ersu; also called Duoxu or Erhsu) are a Qiangic language cluster of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Ersu languages are spoken by about 20,000 people in China as reported by 
. Muya (alternatively Menia or Menya) is reported to be related, but it is not known how it fits in.

Ersuic speakers live in the western part of China's Sichuan province (several counties within the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and the prefecture-level city of Ya'an). Most of them are classified by the Chinese government as members of the Tibetan ethnic group, although some also are registered as Han Chinese. Older adults mostly use Ersu, but younger people also use Chinese or Yi.

The Ersu Shaba script of the shābā religious books is a pictographic system of proto-writing. The system, in which the color of the characters has an effect on the meaning, was inspired by Chinese writing and was created in the 11th century.

Languages
There are three Ersuic languages.

Ersu 尔苏 (Eastern Ersu) – 13,000 speakers
Lizu 傈苏, 里汝, 吕苏 (Western Ersu) – 4,000 speakers; 7,000 speakers
Tosu 多续 (Central Ersu) – 3,000 speakers; almost none remaining

Production logos 
Every episode of Robot Chicken from seasons 1–4 displays one of many still Stoopid Monkey production logos following the credits; each depicts a cartoon monkey performing an obviously foolish or life-threatening activity or the aftermath of suicide as an irritated Seth Green is heard saying, "Stupid monkey." Each Stoopid Monkey card was drawn by artist and actor Adam Talbott.  All of them except for the first part  
of "Book of Corrine" have the name with an exclamation point replacing the "I" in a jumbled white font surrounded by a thick black border, as well as a smaller white border around that, and Talbott's signature somewhere on the logo. On Titan Maximum and early episodes of Robot Chicken'''s fifth season, the logo is the monkey's shining silver head smiling with the shining Stoopid Monkey text below it. On later episodes of Robot Chicken'' from season 5 onward, the logo returned to a similar concept as the first, but the titular monkey was redesigned to be cuter, despite in season 7 a still variant showcasing only the company logo was used.

Single-entry bookkeeping

Single-entry bookkeeping, also known as, single-entry accounting, is a method of bookkeeping that relies on a one-sided accounting entry to maintain financial information. The primary bookkeeping record in single-entry bookkeeping is the cash book, which is similar to a checking account register (in UK: cheque account, current account), except all entries are allocated among several categories of income and expense accounts. Separate account records are maintained for petty cash, accounts payable and receivable, and other relevant transactions such as inventory and travel expenses. To save time and avoid the errors of manual calculations, single-entry bookkeeping can be done today with do-it-yourself bookkeeping software.

Double entry accounting often requires commitment which most sole proprietors cannot afford to do or simply not interested in it. Among these types of businesses it is common for them to only keep records of bill payments and cash they received during the course of the business. Nonetheless, there is some level of record keeping as these businesses are keeping track of income and expenditure of the business. As such, the practice of keeping partial records of business related transactions which is outside the requirements of double entry book keeping is called “single entry accounting” / “Accounting for incomplete records”.

Most businesses maintain a record of transactions using double-entry bookkeeping. However, many smaller businesses use single-entry books that record the "bare essentials." In some cases, only records of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and taxes paid may be maintained.

This type of accounting with additional information can typically be compiled into an income statement and statement of affairs by a professional accountant.

Advantages

Single-entry bookkeeping systems are used because of their simplicity, while double-entry bookkeeping may require the services of a trained person.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, single-entry bookkeeping is based on the income statement (profit or loss statement). It can be simple and practical for those starting a small business.

Additionally, the IRS states:
 A single-entry system does not include equal debit and credit to the balance sheet and income statement accounts. It is not self-balancing. Arithmetic errors in the account totals are thus common. Reconciliation of the books and records to the return is an important audit step.
 A single-entry system may consist only of transactions posted in a notebook, daybook, or journal. However, it may include a complete set of journals and a ledger providing accounts for all important items.

Disadvantages
 Data may not be available to management for effectively planning and controlling the business.
 Lack of systematic and precise bookkeeping may lead to inefficient administration and reduced control over the affairs of the business.
 Theft and other losses are less likely to be detected.

Dauði Baldrs

Dauði Baldrs (Old Norse for "Baldr's Death" or "The Death of Baldr") is the fifth album by the Norwegian solo act Burzum. Unlike Burzum's previous work, which was mostly black metal, this is a dark ambient album. It was recorded using a synthesizer and a normal tape recorder by Varg Vikernes while he was in prison, as he was not allowed to have any other instruments or recording equipment. It was completed in a few months due to his limited access to synthesizers, which was also the case with the following album, Hliðskjálf.

Concept
The album is about the legacy of Baldr, the second son of Odin in Norse mythology. Most likely a concept album, as the whole album leads up to Ragnarök, the battle at the end of the world in Norse mythology.

Music
Stylistically, the album is a mix of medieval music, ambient, neoclassical and minimalism, a distinct change from the raw black metal that characterized Burzum's earlier work. Some songs are very folk-driven and medieval, while some are sparse, hypnotic, ambient minimalist songs, particularly "Illa tiðandi". The album has been described by many as "dungeon synth". "Móti Ragnarokum" contains monophonic sections mixed with other thicker sections. "Illa tiðandi" is easily the most minimalist track, with only two sections being repeated over the 10:29 duration, which are both simple piano melodies, eventually accompanied by a choral chant.

"Illa tiðandi" is an alternative version of the song "Decrepitude I", while "Bálferð Baldrs" is an ambient version of the main riff from the song "Jesu død". "Moti Ragnarokum" is an extended, ambient version of the song "Mace Attack". Two of these songs appeared on Burzum's previous album Filosofem.

The song "Dauði Baldrs" was later re-arranged into a black metal style as the song "Belus død" on the 2010 album Belus, although it was composed in the 90s on "Wotans Verhängnis" and remained unreleased.

Name and release
The album was originally named Balders Død. The Misanthropy promo CD sent out before the album's release had this title, as well as a different cover. Furthermore, some copies of the album have a misprint of the Burzum logo, spelling it "Burzu". Rare original pressings of the LP include an eight-page booklet with artwork and Norwegian text as well as a set of six tarot cards. The swastika-adorned cloak worn by a man on the cover is an almost exact copy of the cloak worn by the character Thordur in When the Raven Flies.

Reception

Sputnik Music gave the album a 1.5 out of 5 review, saying it's "40 minutes of a crazed neo-Nazi, church-burning murderer playing a toy piano. It's only half as funny as it sounds."

Track listing
All tracks by Varg Vikernes.

Diphridas

Diphridas was a Spartan general in the Corinthian War.  In 391 BC, he was placed in command of Spartan forces in Asia Minor, whose previous commander, Thibron, had been killed in an ambush.  Diphridas continued his predecessor's policy of launching plundering raids into the territory of Persian satrap in the region, Struthas.  These raids were highly successful; Diphridas at one point captured Struthas's son-in-law, and with the plunder he took he was able to hire mercenaries to enlarge his force.
