Amplifier figures of merit
In electronics, the figures of merit of an amplifier are numerical measures that characterize its properties and performance. Figures of merit can be given as a list of specifications that include properties such as gain, bandwidth, noise and linearity, among others listed in this article. Figures of merit are important for determining the suitability of a particular amplifier for an intended use.

Class-D amplifier
A class-D amplifier, or switching amplifier, is an electronic amplifier in which the amplifying devices (transistors, usually MOSFETs) operate as electronic switches, and not as linear gain devices as in other amplifiers. They operate by rapidly switching back and forth between the supply rails, using pulse-width modulation, pulse-density modulation, or related techniques to produce a pulse train output. A simple low-pass filter may be used to attenuate their high-frequency content to provide analog output current and voltage. Little energy is dissipated in the amplifying transistors because they are always either fully on or fully off, so efficiency can exceed 90%.
Puerto Plata Province
Puerto Plata (Spanish pronunciation: [pweɾtoˈplata], Silver Port); (French: Port-de-Plate) is a province in northern Dominican Republic. It is divided into 9 municipalities, 12 municipal districts and its capital is the resort city of the same name. Neighboring provinces clockwise: Monte Cristi to the southwest, Valverde and Santiago to the south and Espailat to the east, along with the Septentrional mountain range to the north (which separates it from Laguna Salada), and has a coastline with the Atlantic Ocean. The area has become an increasingly popular tourist attraction since the late 1990s mainly due to its fine beaches.

Created from the Santiago Province in 1867 as a "maritime district", it became a province in 1907, when maritime districts were suppressed by a new Dominican constitution.

Valverde Province
Valverde (Spanish pronunciation: [balˈβeɾðe]) is a province of the Dominican Republic. It was split from Santiago Province in 1959. It is in the northwestern part of the country. Its capital city is Santa Cruz de Mao.

It was created on 1959. It was a municipality of the Santiago province before being elevated to the category of province. Valverde was the birthplace of former President of the Republic from July 1857 to August 1858, General José Desiderio Valverde, for whom this province bears his name.

Zaffa
In Arab culture, the zaffa (Egyptian Arabic: زفـّـة / ALA-LC: zaffah), or wedding march, is a musical procession of bendir drums, bagpipes, horns, belly dancers and men carrying flaming swords. When the procession reaches its destination, there is usually a party, more loud noises, and then dinner.

The Zaffa is also well-documented in many Egyptian movies ever since their start from more than a hundred years ago, which massively helped spread the ancient Egyptian tradition to the whole region. Nowadays, the Zaffah is commonly held as a traditional and celebratory wedding procession in cultures throughout the Arab world, including the Levant such as in Lebanon, Palestine and Syria, whereby it symbolizes the start of the wedding festivities. It is a lively and vibrant event that involves music, dancing, and cultural rituals.

Belly dance
Belly dance (Arabic: رقص شرقي, romanized: Raqs sharqi, lit. 'oriental dance') is a Middle Eastern dance that originated in Egypt, where in the tombs of ancient Egypt specifically in Minya Governorate in Upper Egypt, numerous depictions of female dancers can be found showing women swaying with delight to the rhythms of drums and clappers. It features movements of the hips and torso. A Western-coined exonym, it is also referred to as Middle Eastern dance or Arabic dance.

It has evolved to take many different forms depending on the country and region, both in costume and dance style, with the styles and costumes of Egypt being the most recognized worldwide due to Egyptian cinema. Belly dancing in its various forms and styles is popular across the globe where it is taught by a trainer of schools of dance.

Deoxyuridine phosphorylase
In enzymology, a deoxyuridine phosphorylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2'-deoxyuridine + phosphate  uracil + 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 2'-deoxyuridine and phosphate, whereas its two products are uracil and 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.

No enzyme is known to be specific for this reaction, hence the EC number originally assigned to this enzyme function (EC 2.4.2.23) was deleted by the IUBMB in 2013. The reaction is catalysed by EC 2.4.2.2, pyrimidine-nucleoside phosphorylase, EC 2.4.2.3, uridine phosphorylase, and EC 2.4.2.4, thymidine phosphorylase.

These enzymes belong to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases.  They participate in pyrimidine metabolism.

Uridine phosphorylase
In enzymology, an uridine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

uridine + phosphate  uracil + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are uridine and phosphate, whereas its two products are uracil and alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is uridine:phosphate alpha-D-ribosyltransferase. Other names in common use include pyrimidine phosphorylase, UrdPase, UPH, and UPase.  This enzyme participates in pyrimidine metabolism.

Mineral variety
In geology and mineralogy, a mineral variety is a subset of a mineral species or mineraloid with some special characteristic, such as specific impurities or structural defects.  For example, amethyst is a variety of quartz with a purple tinge due in part to iron impurities.

Mineral varieties can be further subdivided into sub-varieties.

Unlike mineral species, mineral varieties are not defined or named by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA).

Mineraloid
A mineraloid is a naturally occurring substance that resembles a mineral, but does not demonstrate the crystallinity of a mineral. Mineraloid substances possess chemical compositions that vary beyond the generally accepted ranges for specific minerals, for example, obsidian is an amorphous glass and not a true crystal; lignite (jet) is derived from the decay of wood under extreme pressure underground; and opal is a mineraloid substance because of its non-crystalline nature. Pearl is a mineraloid substance because the calcite crystals and the aragonite crystals are bonded by an organic material, and naturally occurs without definite proportions of the components.

The first usage of the term mineraloid substance was in 1909, by mineralogist and geologist Julian Niedzwiedzki, in identifying and describing amorphous substances that resemble minerals.
Credit spread (options)
In finance, a credit spread, or net credit spread is an options strategy that involves a purchase of one option and a sale of another option in the same class and expiration but different strike prices. It is designed to make a profit when the spreads between the two options narrows.

Investors receive a net credit for entering the position, and want the spreads to narrow or expire for profit. In contrast, an investor would have to pay to enter a debit spread. In this context, "to narrow" means that the option sold by the trader is in the money at expiration, but by an amount that is less than the net premium received, in which event the trade is profitable but by less than the maximum that would be realized if both options of the spread were to expire worthless.

Bull spread
In options trading, a bull spread is a vertical spread options strategy that is designed to profit from a moderate rise in the price of the underlying security.

Because of put–call parity, a bull spread can be constructed using either put options or call options. If constructed using calls, it is a bull call spread (alternatively call debit spread). If constructed using puts, it is a bull put spread (alternatively put credit spread).
Boarnwert
Boarnwert (Dutch: Bornwird) is a small village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 119 in January 2017. Before 2019, the village was part of the Dongeradeel municipality.

The village was first mentioned in 944 as Brunnenuur, and means "terp with a spring". The Dutch Reformed church was built in the 13th century. In 1840, it was home to 84 people.

In 1910, the terp of Boarnwert was excavated and prehistoric urns were discovered. In 1966 and 1967, archaeological excavation was performed in Boarnwert during the construction of the Holwert to Dokkum road. A stone axe, flint artefacts, and potsherds were discovered from the Late Bronze Age proving that the most northern area which was regularly flooded had been settled for a long time.

The village's official name was changed from Bornwird to Boarnwert in 2023.

John Blodwell
John Blodwell, DCL was a 15th-century priest.

Blodwel was born in Llanyblodwel and educated at the University of Bologna. He held the living of Balsham in Cambridgeshire; was a Proctor of Durham: 76  and Canon of St Davids; and Dean of St Asaph from 1418 until  1441. He died at Balsham, Cambridgeshire, on 13 April 1462.

Balsham
Balsham is a rural village and civil parish in the county of Cambridgeshire, England, which has much expanded since the 1960s and is now one of several dormitory settlements of Cambridge.  The village is south east of the centre of Cambridge beyond the A11 road and near Newmarket and Haverhill.

At the 2021 census, Balsham parish had a population of 3,594.
Street sign theft
Street signs can be stolen for use as decorations or to be sold as scrap metal. Although theft often seems arbitrary, signs with unusual or amusing names tend to be stolen more frequently. Sometimes considered to be a prank by the perpetrators, the theft is often costly and inconvenient for the municipality or agency that owns the sign, and it poses a danger to traffic. In the United States, each street sign generally costs between $100 and $500 to replace.

Number of the beast
The number of the beast (Koine Greek: Ἀριθμὸς τοῦ θηρίου, Arithmós toû thēríou) is associated with the Beast of Revelation in chapter 13, verse 18 of the Book of Revelation. In most manuscripts of the New Testament and in English translations of the Bible, the number of the beast is six hundred sixty-six (666) or χξϛ (in Greek numerals, χ represents 600, ξ represents 60 and ϛ represents 6). Papyrus 115 (which is the oldest preserved manuscript of the Revelation as of 2017), as well as other ancient sources like Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, give the number of the beast as χιϛ or χιϲ, transliterable in Arabic numerals as 616 (χιϛ), not 666; critical editions of the Greek text, such as the Novum Testamentum Graece, note χιϛ/616 as a variant. There is a broad consensus in contemporary scholarship that the number of the beast is linked by gematria to the typology of Roman Emperor Nero, an infamous persecutor of Christians.

Mughal rule in Himachal Pradesh
Prior to the arrival of the Mughals in the Indian subcontinent, the first instance of Islamic conquest of the region was during the 10th century when Mahmud Ghaznavi conquered Kangra.
After the entry of the Mughals into the subcontinent, the region fell to Mughal authority as well. Later, due to internal conflicts within the Mughal dynasty the rulers of the hill provinces took complete advantage. Kangra regained its independence under Maharaja Sansar Chand who ruled for nearly 50 years. He was one of the most powerful administrators of the region. After he took the formal possession of Kangra fort, Maharaja Sansar Chand began to expand his territory. The states of Chamba, Suket, Mandi, and Guler, Jaswan, Siba and Datarpur came under the direct control of Maharaja Sansar Chand.

Siba State
Siba State, later known as Dada-Siba jagir, was a small independent Indian hill state in the Lower Himalayas. It was centered on the town of Dadasiba, Pragpur tehsil, Kangra district, in modern-day Himachal Pradesh. The state was founded in ca.1450. In 1849 the territory of Datarpur was added to Siba Jagir (1/3 part of land of Mian Devi Singh) and annexed by the British Raj as 'Dada-Siba'. Rest remained in the possession of Raja Ram Singh son of Raja Gobind Singh.
