50th Anniversary of the Republic Sculptures

The 50th Anniversary of the Republic Sculptures are 20 sculptures that were made for Istanbul. They were made by Turkish sculptors as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. The sculptures were put in different parks and squares in Istanbul around the year 1973. Many of them were damaged, destroyed, lost, or moved. Only some of them are still there.
It was not easy for Turkish sculptors to show their work in public spaces between 1950 and 1960. There were not many types of sculptures (other than monuments) in Turkey until 1973. In May 1972, a committee in charge of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Turkish Republic held a meeting at the headquarters of the Governor of Istanbul. They wanted to have 50 sculptures made to celebrate the anniversary. But, because they didn't have enough money, they reduced it to 20. The committee chose 20 artists to make these sculptures. On 13 September 1973, the committee approved sketches and photographs sent by the 20 artists. This was an important event in the history of Turkish sculpture. For the first time, sculptors were able to create sculptures that were not monuments for public spaces. This supported the idea of modern sculpture in Turkey. The results of the project were 20 sculptures put up in public spaces in Istanbul. These sculptures were made by well-known sculptors, and were in their original style.
Many of the sculptures were lost, damaged or removed. Some of them were damaged only a few days after they were put in their place. Guzel Istanbul by Gurdal Duyar was thought by some traditional conservative people to be inappropriate. It was removed from Karakoy Square and eventually taken to Yildiz Park. Isci by Muzaffer Ertoran was attacked. No one knows what happened to Mimar Sinan by Nusret Suman. Ikimiz by Namik Denizhan was removed because of damage. Birlik by Mehmet Uyanik was destroyed by a water compressor in 1986. Yukselis by Bihrat Mavitran was destroyed to make more space for a road in 1984. Yagmur by Ferit Ozsen was damaged and then removed. Many of the sculptures were abstract art. The abstract sculptures that got lost are: the one by Fusun Onur that was removed when Bedrettin Dalan was the mayor in 1985, the one by Seyhun Topuz that collapsed due to "natural causes" in 1984, and the one by Tamer Basoglu which disappeared in 1986. The sculptures made by Yavuz Gorey and Metin Haseki were probably stolen by scrap dealers because they were made of valuable metal.

Recent events
In 2011, seven of the sculptures were cleaned and restored. This event was known as the "sculpture project". Yanki by Huseyin Anka Ozkans was made to look new again, according to what was reported. As of September 2011, there was a plan to restore the Abstract sculpture in Macka, the Bahar sculpture in Emirgan Park, the Republic 50 Years Monument in Galatasaray Square, the Dayanisma sculpture in Findikli Park, the Figur sculpture in front of the Muhsin Ertugrul Theater, and the abstract sculpture at Bebek children's park.

Slave Coast

The Slave Coast was a name for the coastal areas of present Togo, Benin (formerly Dahomey) and western Nigeria. This is a fertile region of coastal Western Africa along the Bight of Benin. In pre-colonial times it was one of the most densely populated parts of Africa. It was one of the most important places for the Atlantic slave trade from the early 16th century to the 19th century.
The slave trade became so large in the 18th and 19th centuries that an "Atlantic community" was formed. Slaves went to the New World, mostly to Brazil and the Caribbean. Ports that exported these slaves from Africa include Ouidah, Lagos, Aneho (Little Popo), Grand-Popo, Agoue, Jakin, Porto-Novo, and Badagry.
Researchers think that between 2 and 3 million slaves were exported out of this region. They were traded for goods like alcohol and tobacco from the Americas and textiles from Europe. Religions, architectural styles, languages, knowledge, and other new goods were mixed at this time.
After slavery was ended by European countries, the slave trade continued for a time with independent traders (instead of government agents).

Geography
The Liri river has a length of ( as Garigliano), and a drainage basin with an area of approximately . The Liri-Garigliano system has a total drainage basin of .
Course
The Liri river starts on the sides of the Monte Camiciola, part of the Monti Simbruini of central Apennines, at an elevation of about , in the comune of Cappadocia, L'Aquila province, Abruzzo region.
It flows at first to the southeast through a long valley, parallel to the general direction of the Apennines, until it gets to the city of Sora. Before Isola del Liri "Liri Island"), the Liri is joined by the Fibreno river and then it divides into two branches which then rejoin, surrounding the lower part of the town. One branch makes a high waterfall.
A dam is built on the river after the confluence with the Sacco river, its main tributary, at Ceprano. The last important tributary of the Liri is the Melfa, with which it joins near Aquino. The river forms the border between Lazio and Campania regions and, after Cassino, it joins the Gari river and then it is known as Garigliano. After , the river flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Humboldt Current

The Humboldt Current is a cold, low-salinity ocean current. It flows north along the west coast of South America from the southern tip of Chile to northern Peru. Also called the Peru Current, it flows in the direction of the equator. It extends 1,000 kilometers offshore.
The Humboldt Current is a large marine ecosystem, named after the Prussian naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. It is one of the major nutrient systems of the world, bringing nutrients up into the surface waters of the ocean. This supports an extraordinary abundance of marine life. Upwelling occurs off Peru year-round but off Chile only during the spring and summer. This is because the subtropical center of high pressure is displaced during the summer.
About 18-20% of the world's fish catch comes from the Humboldt Current. The species are mostly pelagic: sardines, anchovies and jack mackerel. This high productivity supports other important fishery resources as well as marine mammals (eared seals and cetaceans) and seabirds. The cold, nutrient-rich water upwelling to the surface drives the system's extraordinary productivity.
The Humboldt Current is part of a much larger system, the South Pacific Gyre.

Decagon

A decagon is a shape with 10 sides and 10 corners.
Regular decagon
All sides of a regular decagon are the same length. Each corner is 144deg. All corners added together equal 1440deg.
Area
The amount of space a regular decagon takes up is
a is the length of one of its sides.
An alternative formula is where d is the distance between parallel sides, or the height when the decagon stands on one side as base.
By simple trigonometry .
Sides
The side of a regular decagon inscribed in a unit circle is , where ph is the golden ratio, .
Dissection of regular decagon
Coxeter states that every parallel-sided 2m-gon can be divided into m(m-1)/2 rhombs. For the regular decagon, m=5, and it can be divided into 10 rhombs, with examples shown below. This decomposition can be seen as 10 of 80 faces in a Petrie polygon projection plane of the 5-cube. A dissection is based on 10 of 30 faces of the rhombic triacontahedron. The list A006245 defines the number of solutions as 62, with 2 orientations for the first symmetric form, and 10 orientations for the other 6.
Skew decagon
A skew decagon is a skew polygon with 10 vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such an decagon is not generally defined. A skew zig-zag decagon has vertices alternating between two parallel planes.
A regular skew decagon is vertex-transitive with equal edge lengths. In 3-dimensions it will be a zig-zag skew decagon and can be seen in the vertices and side edges of a pentagonal antiprism, pentagrammic antiprism, and pentagrammic crossed-antiprism with the same D5d, [2+,10] symmetry, order 20.
These can also be seen in these 4 convex polyhedra with icosahedral symmetry. The polygons on the perimeter of these projections are regular skew decagons.

Colin Wilson

Colin Henry Wilson (26 June 1931 - 5 December 2013) was an English novelist and writer. Wilson also wrote widely on true crime and criminology, mysticism, the paranormal, and other topics. In all, there are over 120 books, including some fiction. He preferred to call his philosophy new existentialism or phenomenological existentialism.
Wilson was interested in metaphysics and the occult. In 1971, he wrote a nonfiction book named The Occult: A History. In it, he talked about the beliefs of Aleister Crowley, George Gurdieff, Helena Blavatsky, Kabbalah, primitive magic, Franz Mesmer, Grigori Rasputin, and Paracelsus. He also wrote a biography of Crowley, Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast. He also wrote biographies on other visionaries in spirituality and psychology. Some were about George Gurdjieff, Carl Jung, and Wilhelm Reich.
Wilson suffered a stroke in June 2012 and lost his ability to speak. He died in December 2013, aged 82.
The Outsider
This was the book which made his name. It was really a work of literary criticism, but was also about social philosophy. It was based mainly on the work of Dostoyevsky, Camus and Satre, all of whom featured characters who were lost, outsiders, alienated from society.
Gollancz published the 24-year-old Wilson's The Outsider in 1956. The book became a best-seller and helped popularise existentialism in Britain. It has never been out-of-print since publication day and has been translated into over thirty languages (including Russian and Chinese).
Crime
Wilson's writing on crime is quite extensive and commercially successful. He wrote several books about serial killers and murderers.
The mammoth book of true crime. New edition 1988. London: Robinson.
The serial killers: a study in the psychology of violence. London: W.H. Allen. (with Donald Seaman)

Red shift is a method astronomers use to tell the speed of any object that is very far away in the Universe. The red shift is one example of the Doppler effect.
The easiest way to experience the Doppler effect is to listen to a moving train. As the train moves towards a person, the sound it makes as it comes towards them sounds like it has a higher tone, since the frequency of the sound is squeezed together a little bit. As the train speeds away, the sound gets stretched out, and sounds lower in tone. This is also the same as filling a water bottle under a tap. As you fill, the sound of the filling gets higher and higher, for the same reason that the noise the train makes gets higher as it gets closer to you. The same happens with light when an object that emits light moves very fast. An object, like a star or a galaxy that is far away and moving toward us, will look more blue than it normally does. This is called blue shift. A star or galaxy moving away from us will look more red than it would if the source were not moving in our frame of reference. This is where red shift got its name, since the colours are shifted towards the red end of the spectrum.
The reason astronomers can tell how far the light gets shifted is because chemical elements, like hydrogen and oxygen, have unique fingerprints of light that no other element has. Astronomers use spectroscopy to analyse the light from an object (galaxy or star). Once they know that, they check to see the difference between where the spectral lines are compared to where they normally are. From that, they can tell whether it is moving toward us or away from us, and also how fast it is going. The faster it goes, the farther the spectral lines are from their normal position in the spectrum.

Queen Anne Bassett was the first white child born in a harsh environment named Browns Peak. "Queen" Anne Bassett was born in 1878 and died in 1956.
Anne Bassett earned the "Queen" part of her name because, at a young age when her parents did not sell the ranch, there were cattle rustlers that started stealing cattle Anne Bassett's mother took matters into her own hands. She started cattle rustling the cattle barons. When Anne's mother got too old Anne Bassett took over her place and earned the nickname "Queen Ann". When Anne was 19, she was running her family's small ranch. One of her struggles as a cattle ranch owner, when she was young, was having to fight against cattle barons. Queen Anne Bassett was said to wear a parted skirt that made it easier to ride her horse with a man's saddle. She was also known as a fearless horsewoman. Anne Bassett was fresh out of Boston finishing school, making her a strange mix of a gunslinger and a refined gentlewoman.
Anne Bassett was a friend of well-known bandits such as Butch Cassidy's gang.

Smoky Hill Chalk

The Smoky Hill Chalk is an Upper Cretaceous conservation Lagerstatte, or fossil-rich geological formation. It is known for its exceptionally well-preserved marine reptiles from the Western Inland Sea.
The Smoky Hill Chalk outcrops in parts of northwest Kansas, its most famous localities for fossils, and in southeastern Nebraska. Large well-known fossils excavated from the Smoky Hill Chalk include marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs, large bony fish such as Xiphactinus, mosasaurs, pterosaurs (namely Pteranodon), flightless marine birds such as Hesperornis, and turtles. Many of the most well-known specimens of the marine reptiles were collected by dinosaur hunter Charles H. Sternberg and his son George. The son collected a unique fossil of the giant bony fish Xiphactinus audax with the skeleton of another bony fish, Gillicus arcuatus inside the larger one. Another excellent skeleton of Xiphactinus audax was collected by Edward Drinker Cope during the late nineteenth century heyday of American paleontology.
