Xanthoparmelia salazinica
Xanthoparmelia salazinica is a species of lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in South Africa, it was described as a new species in 1989 by American lichenologist Mason Hale. He classified it in Karoowia, a genus that has since been placed in synonymy with Xanthoparmelia following molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2010.

The type specimen was collected by Hale in near Middelpos (Cape Province); here it was found growing in low sandstone ridges in karoo. The specific epithet refers to the presence of salazinic acid, the main secondary compound found in the lichen. It also has consalazinic acid and usnic acid.

Xanthoparmelia
Xanthoparmelia (commonly known as green rock shields or rock-shield lichens) is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae.: 134  This genus of lichen is commonly found in the United States, South America, southern Africa, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

The name means 'golden yellow parmelia'. The photobiont (photosynthetic partner) is Trebouxia (a genus of green algae).

The stories, in the public domain, are already familiar to potential audiences. They contain sweeping, but relatively straightforward, narratives of good versus evil, and feature crowd-pleasing battles, sword fights, natural disasters, and miracles.
History of the Confederation of African Football
From a humble beginning in 1957, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has grown into a notable organisation with the membership of 54 football association. The confederation of African Football is also responsible for the organization of the major competitions within Africa.

CAF was a trailblazing pan-Africanist institution in the era of independence. It was one of FIFA's six continental confederations, essentially the ruling body of the game in Africa. Its main aims were to organize international tournaments and to advance the interests of Africa in world football. In sporting terms, CAF's most important task was to organize the African Nations Cup. The first Nations Cup took place at the time of CAF's official launch in Khartoum in 1957, three years before the inaugural European Nations Cup. French, English, and Arabic were made the official languages of CAF. The independence of sixteen African nations in 1960 increased the size of both CAF and the African Nations Cup.

Nostalgia for the Polish People's Republic
In modern Polish culture there is nostalgia for some aspects of life in the Polish People's Republic (Polish: Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa, PRL), the communist period of the country's history between 1947 and 1989.

As with other manifestations of communist nostalgia, for people who lived during the period of the PRL, the two major factors that cause PRL nostalgia are a dissatisfaction with the present and memories of a happily recollected past.

Businesses were quick to respond to the phenomenon by renewing the manufacture of products from PRL times, such as warm ice cream, zapiekanka, Polo-Cockta, podpiwek, Grodziskie, Junak motorcycles, and Ludwik laundry detergent.

SFM Junak

Gelfand representation
In mathematics, the Gelfand representation in functional analysis (named after I. M. Gelfand) is either of two things:

a way of representing commutative Banach algebras as algebras of continuous functions;

the fact that for commutative C*-algebras, this representation is an isometric isomorphism.

In the former case, one may regard the Gelfand representation as a far-reaching generalization of the Fourier transform of an integrable function. In the latter case, the Gelfand–Naimark representation theorem is one avenue in the development of spectral theory for normal operators, and generalizes the notion of diagonalizing a normal matrix.

Normal operator
In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a normal operator on a complex Hilbert space  is a continuous linear operator  that commutes with its Hermitian adjoint , that is: .

Normal operators are important because the spectral theorem holds for them. The class of normal operators is well understood. Examples of normal operators are

unitary operators:

Hermitian operators (i.e., self-adjoint operators):

skew-Hermitian operators:

positive operators:  for some  (so N is self-adjoint).

A normal matrix is the matrix expression of a normal operator on the Hilbert space .

The stall is set up in the early evening on walkways and removed late at night or in the early morning hours.

Though the practice of mobile food stands dates back to the 17th century, yatai became popular and widespread in the Meiji period (1868–1912) and were two-wheeled pushcarts constructed of wood. Yatai were popular during and following World War II, but Japanese authorities imposed regulations ahead of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, citing health concerns. Today, they are prevalent in Fukuoka, but continue to dwindle.
Scheffé's method
In statistics, Scheffé's method, named after American statistician Henry Scheffé, is a method for adjusting significance levels in a linear regression analysis to account for multiple comparisons.  It is particularly useful in analysis of variance (a special case of regression analysis), and in constructing simultaneous confidence bands for regressions involving basis functions.

Scheffé's method is a single-step multiple comparison procedure which applies to the set of estimates of all possible contrasts among the factor level means, not just the pairwise differences considered by the Tukey–Kramer method. It works on similar principles as the Working–Hotelling procedure for estimating mean responses in regression, which applies to the set of all possible factor levels.

Contrast (statistics)
In statistics, particularly in the analysis of variance and linear regression, a contrast is a linear combination of variables (parameters or statistics) whose coefficients add up to zero, allowing comparison of different treatments.
