Serpent (musical instrument)

The **serpent** is an ancient, low-sounding wind instrument in an 'S' shape. It looks a bit like a snake or serpent. It is made of wood, but had a mouthpiece similar to a trumpet and is classified as a brass instrument. The serpent has a range from C below the bass clef to around F above middle C. It was perhaps invented by Frenchman, Edme Guillaume, in the late 1500s. It made a comeback in the late 1800s and can be heard in Berlioz' _Symphonie Fantastique_.

The nearest musical instrument to the serpent is the ophicleide, which replaced it in the 19th century.  Its place was taken later on by valved bass brass instruments such as the euphonium and tuba.

They showed the console to Ed Fries, who was the leader of Microsoft's game publishing business, and he liked the idea. During work on the project, the name was changed to Xbox.

Arrow's impossibility theorem

**Arrow's impossibility theorem**, **Arrow's theorem**, or **Arrow's paradox** is a statement from social choice theory, named after economist Kenneth Arrow, who first described it in 1950: Suppose there is a vote, and voters have at least three different options to choose from. Each voter will then rank the options according to his or her preference. Arrow said, that in such a case, there is no way to convert these rankings into a  community-wide complete and transitive ranking while also meeting certain criteria.

Arrow demonstrated the theorem in his doctoral thesis. He  popularized it in his 1951 book _Social Choice and Individual Values_.  The original paper was titled "A Difficulty in the Concept of Social Welfare".

In short, the theorem states that no rank-order electoral system can be designed that always satisfies these three "fairness" criteria:

- If every voter prefers alternative X over alternative Y, then the group prefers X over Y.
- If every voter's preference between X and Y remains unchanged, then the group's preference between X and Y will also remain unchanged (even if voters' preferences between other pairs like X and Z, Y and Z, or Z and W change).
- There is no "dictator": no single voter possesses the power to always determine the group's preference.

Chicago Outfit

The **Chicago Outfit** (also known as **the Outfit**, the **Chicago Mafia**, the **Chicago Mob**, or **The Organization**) is an Italian-American organized crime syndicate based in Chicago, Illinois, which dates back to the 1910s. It is part of the American Mafia originating in Chicago's South Side.

The Outfit rose to power in the 1920s, under the control of Johnny Torrio and Al Capone and the period was marked by bloody gang wars for distribution of illegal alcohol during Prohibition.

The Outfit did not have a monopoly on organized crime in Chicago, but they were by far the most powerful, violent and largest criminal organization in the Midwest. The Outfit's influence, at its peak, stretched as far away as California and Florida. Higher law enforcement attention and general attrition led to the Outfit's gradual decline since the late 20th century.

From 1997 until his death in May 2018, the Chicago Outfit was believed to be led by John DiFronzo. As of 2021, the Chicago Outfit is believed to be led by Salvatore "Solly D" DeLaurentis.<ref></ref > Joseph Andriacchi was consigliere until his death in August 2024.

**Eduardo López de Romaña** (1847-1912) was a Peruvian politician. Between 1899 and 1903, he was the 40th President of Peru.

## Early life and career

Eduardo López de Romaña was born in Arequipa as the son of Josefina Alvizuri Bustamente and Juan Manuel Lópe. He studied in Europe to become an engineer. He married Josefa Castresana in 1877. The couple had three children, Carlos, Eduardo, and Hortensia.

During the Pacific War, Eduardo López de Romaña organized the _Battle of Tambo valley_. In that battle, he was a commander of the Vanguard division. He prevented the Chilean enemies from leaving. In 1895, he started a service that gave drinkable water to his hometown. Piérola's made a revolution earlier that year. López then decided to become a politician. He was put on Congress as a deputy of his hometown, Arequipa. He was elected to the first vice-presidency of his house, and became a minister for development in 1896. As a minister, he helped build irrigation systems, roads, mining, and industry. In 1897 he was elected Mayor of Arequipa. As a mayor, he did an excellent job, as he gave Arequipa urban planning and road works. He returned to congress again in 1898, and was a senator in 1899.

After the government of Piérola, he was a presidential candidate of the civil-democratic alliance. His character traits were considered ideal for the presidency, since he was not boisterous, and had the image of working hard for his people.

During his presidency, he made many changes to help the poor and foreigners. He focused on agricultural economic development. With the help of Belgium, he founded a school for agriculture. He made a new Water Code in 1902, and got rid of the law that forbid foreigners to purchase land. In addition, he got American Investors to come and create the _Cerro de Pasco_ mining company, which boosted economic growth. A railroad was built from La _Oroya_ to _Cerro de Pasco_.

Hamlet chicken processing plant fire

The **Hamlet chicken processing plant fire** was an industrial accident. It occurred on September 3, 1991 at the Imperial Foods Chicken Processing Plant in Hamlet, North Carolina, United States. In the center of the plant, a hydraulic line failed and ignited the cooking oil in a  long frying vat. An automatic fire extinguisher, which was state of the art at the time, had been installed over the cooking vat, but it failed to put the fire out. The fire spread quickly and many workers were unable to escape due to locked fire exits. 25 workers died and 54 were injured in the fire. The plant never reopened and was demolished in 2001. The owner of the facility pled guilty to 25 counts of manslaughter, and was sentenced to almost 20 years in prison. He was paroled after four years. The fire was the worst industrial accident in North Carolina's history and led to new safety requirements for industrial facilities in the United States.
