A mid-range speaker is a type of loudspeaker.
These are designed to reproduce sounds which are not very low, but mid-range speaker can also play hi frequency sounds, example frequency going up to 20kHz.
Depending on the speakers structure there can be a tweeter that plays hi-frequencies.
Typically it is then a 3-way speaker.
If there is only a woofer and mid-range speaker, it would be 2-way speaker.

The United States occupation of the Mexican port of Veracruz lasted for six months.
It occurred in the midst of poor diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States.
It also related to the ongoing Mexican Revolution.
In response to the Tampico Affair President Woodrow Wilson ordered the U.S. Navy to prepare for the occupation of the port of Veracruz.
While waiting for authorization of Congress to carry out such action, Wilson was alerted to a German delivery of weapons.
They were for Victoriano Huerta due to arrive to the port on April 21.
Because of this Wilson issued an immediate order to seize the port's customs office.
They were also ordered to confiscate the weaponry.
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels ordered that 56 Medals of Honor be presented to participants in the occupation of Veracruz.
This was the most for any single action before or since.
In total 63 Medals of Honor were received for actions during the occupation.
One went to the Army.
Nine webt to members of the United States Marine Corps.
Fifty three went to Navy personnel.

Yukio Okutsu (November 3, 1921 – August 24, 2003) was a United States Army soldier.
Okutsu was born in Koloa, Hawaii to Japanese immigrant parents.
Okutsu volunteered to be part of the all-Nisei 100th Infantry Battalion.
For his actions in April 1945, Okutsu  was awarded the Army's second-highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC).
Okutsu's award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.
Okutsu's Medal of Honor recognized his conduct in frontline fighting in northern Italy in 1945.
Without the help of others, he silenced three machine gun nests.
Technical Sergeant Yukio Okutsu distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 7 April 1945, on Mount Belvedere, Italy.
While his platoon was halted by the crossfire of three machine guns, Technical Sergeant Okutsu boldly crawled to within 30 yards of the nearest enemy emplacement through heavy fire.
He destroyed the position with two accurately placed hand grenades, killing three machine gunners.
Crawling and dashing from cover to cover, he threw another grenade, silencing a second machine gun, wounding two enemy soldiers, and forcing two others to surrender.
Seeing a third machine gun, which blocked his platoon's advance, he moved forward through heavy small arms fire and was stunned momentarily by rifle fire, which glanced off his helmet.
Recovering, he bravely charged several enemy riflemen with his submachine gun, forcing them to withdraw from their positions.
Then, rushing the machine gun nest, he captured the weapon and its entire crew of four.
By these single-handed actions he enabled his platoon to resume its assault on a vital objective.
The courageous performance of Technical Sergeant Okutsu against formidable odds was an inspiration to all.
Technical Sergeant Okutsu's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.
Okutsu is the namesake of the Yukio Okutsu Veterans Home at Hilo.
It is the first veterans home operated by the state government in Hawaii.

The Boxer Movement or Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese uprising from November 1899 to September 7, 1901.
It was against foreign influence in areas such as trade, politics, religion and technology that occurred in China during the final years of the Manchu rule (Qing Dynasty).
The members of the Chinese Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists were simply called boxers by the Westerners.
This was due to the martial arts and calisthenics they practiced.
It began as an anti-foreign, anti-imperialist, peasant-based movement that attacked foreigners who were building railroads and violating Feng shui.
Christians who they felt were responsible for foreign domination of China were also targeted.
In June 1900, the Boxers invaded Beijing and killed 230 non-Chinese.
Before it ended, tens of thousands of Chinese Christians, Catholic and Protestants were killed.
Most of them in the Shandong and Shanxi provinces.
The government of Empress Dowager Cixi gave her support to the boxers.
This caused foreign diplomats, civilians, soldiers and even some Chinese Christians to retreat.
They went to the legation quarter.
They held out against the boxers for 55 days.
A multinational coalition rushed 20,000 troops to their rescue.
The Chinese government was forced to compensate the victims and make many additional concessions.

It establishment of the modern Chinese Republic.
The recipients must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike is a toll road (a road cars have to pay to drive on) operated by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States.
It costs more than $7 for a car to enter it from Ohio.
The turnpike is a limited-access highway, which means cars must use ramps to get onto the highway.
It runs  across the state.
The turnpike begins at the Ohio border in Lawrence County, where it goes into that state as the Ohio Turnpike.
The designation ends at the New Jersey border at the Delaware River – Turnpike Toll Bridge over the Delaware River in Bucks County, where it goes into that state as the Pearl Harbor Memorial Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike.
The roadway goes east-west path through the state, going through the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia areas.
As it goes across the Appalachian Mountains in the middle of the state, the turnpike goes through four tunnels.
It is part of the Interstate Highway System and is signed as part of Interstate 76 (I-76) between the Ohio border and Valley Forge, I-70 and I-76 between New Stanton and Breezewood, I-276 between Valley Forge and Bristol Township, and I-95 between Bristol Township and the New Jersey border.
The road uses a ticket system of tolling, where cars get a ticket listing fares when they head onto the road and pay when they leave the road, between the Warrendale and Neshaminy Falls toll plazas.
There is also an eastbound toll plaza at Gateway near the Ohio border and a westbound toll plaza at the Delaware River Bridge that uses cameras to take a picture of the car's license plate and send a bill in the mail.
E-ZPass, a form of electronic toll collection, is also used at all toll plazas.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike was planned in the 1930s to make traveling by car better across the mountains of Pennsylvania.
It went through seven tunnels that were created for the abandoned South Pennsylvania Railroad in the 1880s.
The road opened on October 1, 1940 between Irwin and Carlisle as the first long-distance limited-access highway in the United States that led to the building of other limited-access toll roads and the Interstate Highway System.
Following World War II, the turnpike was built east to Valley Forge in 1950 and west to the Ohio border in 1951.
In 1954, the road was built east to the Delaware River.
The mainline turnpike was done in 1956 when the Delaware River bridge was built.
In the 1960s, another tube was bored at four of the two-lane tunnels while the other three tunnels were closed when a new road was built around them.
This made all of the highway four lanes wide.
Work continues to be done to make the road better, such as rebuilding the original section to today's standards, widening parts of the turnpike to six lanes, and adding new interchanges.
The Free Trade Party was an Australian political party from 1889 to 1909.
It was officially known as the Australian Free Trade and Liberal Association.
It was also called the Revenue Tariff Party in some states and renamed the Anti-Socialist Party in 1906.
It wanted to remove tariffs (taxes on imports and exports) as well as other restrictions on trade.
It argued that free trade would benefit everyone.
However, many members also supported some tariffs to raise money for the government.
The party was based in New South Wales, where its leaders were Sir Henry Parkes and Sir George Reid.
It was the main party in New South Wales politics before federation.
After the elections for the first Commonwealth Parliament, the Free Traders were the second largest group in the Australian House of Representatives, with 25 seats.
Reid became the Parliament's first leader of the Opposition.
He later became Prime Minister in 1904-05.
The deputy leader of the Free Trade Party was Willima McMillan.
Joseph Cook became deputy leader of the party when McMillan retired in 1903.
A separate Tasmanian Revenue Tariff Party took part in the 1903 federal election in Tasmania and won two seats.
It joined with the Free Trade Party in federal parliament.
After the question of tariffs had largely been settled, Reid looked around for another cause for his party.
He settled on opposition to socialism.
He criticised both the Australian Labor Party and the Protectionist Party, led by Alfred Deakin.
The Free Trade Party was renamed the Anti-Socialist Party (ASP) before the 1906 federal election.
The Labor Party and the FTP/ASP continued to grow in electoral strength.
Some Protectionists left the party to join Labor and the ASP.
Reid retired in 1908, and the party leadership passed to Joseph Cook.
He agreed to merge with the Protectionists to become the Commonwealth Liberal Party in 1909.

This article is about the Protectionist Party of 1889-1909.
The Protectionist Party was an Australian political party from 1889 until 1909.
Its policies were based on protectionism.
It argued that Australia needed protective tariffs to allow Australian industry to grow and provide employment.
It had its greatest strength in Victoria and in the rural areas of New South Wales.
Its most important leaders were Sir Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin, who were the first and second prime pinisters of Australia.
The Protectionist Party formed government Australia's first government with the support of the Labor Party.
They agreed to put in place social reforms that were Labor policy.
Labor's program, however, was often too radical for the Protectionists, and compromises had to be made.
Several changes of minority governments occurred.
The Protectionist vote had dropped by the 1906 federal election.
Labor formed its first government in 1904 and its second in 1908 under Andrew Fisher.
Many people believed an anti-socialist group was needed to oppose the Labor Party.
Deakin and Anti-Socialist Party leader Joseph Cook, began talks to join their parties together.
The more liberal Protectionists, such as Isaac Isaacs and H. B. Higgins, opposed a merger.
The Protection Party was split by this issue.
Most members, including Deakin, joined with the Anti-Socialist Party to become the Commonwealth Liberal Party.
This became known as "the Fusion,".
The more liberal Protectionists supported Labor.
The Fusion would form another minority government before Fisher and Labor achieved Australia's first federal majority government, and the first Senate majority, at the 1910 election.

Fallingwater is the name of the summer house Frank Lloyd Wright designed in 1935 for the Kaufmann family.
It is in the woods over a waterfall in Pennsylvania.
It is a nationally listed national historic place, and some say it is the most famous private house in the world.
It has large terraces, and some of them stick straight out and hang right over the waterfall or the stream.
The large, cave-like living room has a big fireplace built on a large rock that comes up out of the floor.
This was Edgar Kaufmann's favorite place to sit before the house was built.
A stairway hangs down from the main floor to the stream.
A glass hatchway lets people go down it from the living room.
Some of the furniture is built right into the house.
Many shelves are attached directly into the wall, sticking out without any supports that can be seen, like the floors and terraces of the house itself.
There is a guest house on the hill behind the main house.
It is connected by an "S" shaped, covered walk.
There is a plunge pool beside the guest house.

Laurie is a given name for women.
It is a version of Laura.
Laura is more common than Laurie.
Sometimes, it can also be a surname.
People named Laurie include Laurie Anderson, Laurie Bird, and Laurie Metcalf.
The Commonwealth Liberal Party (CLP) was a political party in Australia from 1909 to 1917.
It was also known as The Fusion, or the Deakinite Liberal Party.
It is the earliest direct ancestor of the modern Liberal Party of Australia.
The party was formed after the Australian Labor Party formed its second government in 1908.
Business leaders told Alfred Deakin, the leader of the Protectionist Party, and Joseph Cook, leader of the Anti-Socialist Party, to join forces to oppose the Labor Party.
In 1909, the Protectionists and Anti-Socialists joined to form the CLP.
Several of the more liberal Protectionists left and joined Labor.
The Protectionists and Anti-Socialists had a majority of seats in the House of Representatives.
The new party used its numbers to force Prime Minister Andrew Fisher to resign.
Deakin became Prime Minister for the third time.
However, the CLP was defeated by Labor at its first election, less than a year later in 1910.
Cook took over from Deakin shortly before the 1913 election and won government by a single seat.
One year later, Cook introduced a bill removing special treatment for union members.
Cook knew the Labor Party had the numbers in Senate to defeat the bill.
When the Senate rejected it twice, Cook had an excuse to call an early election for 5 September.
This was the first double dissolution election in Australia.
However CLP was soundly defeated, and Labor became the government.
In November 1916, the CLP made a deal with the Prime Minister Billy Hughes.
Hughes had been forced to leave the ALP for supporting conscription in World War I. He set up a new party called the National Labor Party.
In February 1917, the CLP and National Labor joined to form the Nationalist Party of Australia.
Although the new party had more Liberals, Hughes became its leader with Cook as his deputy.

The Australian Electoral Commission, or the AEC, is the Australian federal government agency in charge of federal elections and referendums.
State and local government elections are run by the Electoral Commission in each state and territory.
The AEC also draws the boundaries for seats and makes regular changes to keep all seats roughly equal in population numbers.
It organizes Commonwealth electoral roll which is a list of people who can vote in elections.
The electoral roll is used by the state and territory Electoral Commissions to for their elections.
History and structure
The AEC began in 1902, as a part of the Department of Home Affairs.
In 1973, it became the Australian Electoral Office.
In February 1984 it became the Australian Electoral Commission.
The AEC is run by a Chairman who is a Judge, or a retired Judge, of the Federal Court, the Electoral Commissioner and a non-judicial member who is usually the Australian Statistician).
The Electoral Commissioner has the powers of a Secretary of a Department under the Public Service Act 1999 and the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1998.
The Chairperson and the third, non-judicial member both hold their offices on a part-time basis.
Each federal electorate has a Divisional Returning Officer responsible for the House of Representatives elections within their division.
Each State also has an Australian Electoral Officer responsible for the Senate elections.
The AEC's major duties are to run federal elections, by-elections and referendums.
Election Rolls must always be up-to-date.
The AEC must also follow up people who do not vote.
After the election the AEC provides detailed election results.
The AEC is answerable to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters of the Parliament of Australia.
It reports to Parliament on how elections were carried out and the success of the elections in general.

The National Labor Party was an Australian political party which only existed for three months.
It was started  by Prime Minister Billy Hughes in November 1916.
Hughes had taken over as leader of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and Prime Minister when Andrew Fisher resigned in 1915.
Hughes formed the new party after he was forced out of the ALP a month after conscription was rejected by the people in the 1916 vote.
Hughes still wanted conscription for World War I.
On 15 September 1916 the Labor Party in New South Wales forced Hughes from the Labor Party.
On 14 November 1916, Hughes and 24 other Labor members walked out of a meeting of the Labor members of parliament.
The remaining 43 members said they did not want Hughes to continue as their leader.
Hughes and his followers formed a minority Government with support from the Commonwealth Liberal Party (CLP) led by Joseph Cook.
They said the Australian Labor Party was no longer  nationalist.
They wanted a new party that would be both socially radical and nationalist.
The National Labor Party had to depend on support from the Commonwealth Liberal Party to govern.
In 1917 the two groups joined to form a new party, the Nationalist Party of Australia, with Hughes as leader.
The National Labor Party was never a proper political party.
It did not have any organisational structure.
It did get support from some trade union officials and Labor Party branches, particularly in Western Australia and Tasmania.
The National Labor Party in Western Australia started off as two separate groups.
One group was the Labor Solidarity Committee based in Perth.
The other was National Labor based on the goldfields.
The two joined in April-May 1917, led by former Premier John Scaddan.
After he lost his seat in Parliament the party turned to Federal Senators Patrick Lynch, Hugh de Largie and George Pearce for leadership and guidance.
Unlike the federal party, it did not join with the CLP and kept its own identity.
It worked with the Nationalist Party as partners.
The party won six of 50 Assembly seats in the Western Australian state elections of 1917 and 1921.
It also held three of 30 Council seats during this period.
However, in 1924 elections they won only one seat in the Assembly and two in the Council.
Later that year they were taken over by the Nationalists.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is forcing fractures in a rock layer, by fluid that is put under pressure.
Although it can happen naturally, it is now used as a method to force oil and natural gas from shale.
History and method
Some hydraulic fractures form naturally: certain dykes are examples.
This lets gas and petroleum from source rocks get to reservoir rocks.
The first use of hydraulic fracturing to extract substances from rock was in 1947.
The modern fracturing technique, called 'horizontal slickwater fracturing', was first used in 1998.
It made the extraction of shale gas economically practical.
The energy from the injection of a highly pressurized fluid creates new channels in the rock.
This increases the extraction rates and recovery of hydrocarbons, which are used for fuel.
In 2010 it was estimated that 60% of all new oil and gas wells worldwide were being hydraulically fractured.
As of the year 2012, 2.5 million hydraulic fracturing actions have been done on oil and gas wells worldwide, more than one million of them in the United States.
Opponents of fracking point to potentially harmful environmental effects.
These include contamination of ground water, risks to air quality, the migration of gases and hydraulic fracturing chemicals to the surface, surface contamination from spills and flowback, and the health effects of these.
For these reasons hydraulic fracturing has come under examination.
Some countries are suspending or banning it.
In 2013, some of those countries, including the United Kingdom, lifted their bans.
Now they have regulations instead of outright prohibition.
Fracking can greatly increase the UK gas reserves.

For other uses, see Gosei.
The grandchildren of  Issei are called Sansei (third generation); and their great-grandchildren are called Yonsei.
The children of the Yonsei  are the great-great-grandchilderen of Issei ancestors; and these children are called Gosei.
In other words, the children of at least one Yonsei parent are called Gosei
The character and uniqueness of the Gosei is recognized in its social history.
The Gosei are the subject of on-going academic research in the United States and in Japan.
Today, the community which grew from the immigrant children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren has become the largest Japanese emigrant population outside of Japan, including approximately 1.5 million Brazilians.
The use of the term Gosei was modeled after an Issei pattern or template.
Their Gosei great-great-grandsons and great-great-granddaughters grew up with a national and cultural point-of-view that was different from their parents.
The Gosei had never known a country other than the one into which they were born.
The Issei, Nisei, Sansei, Yonsei and Gosei generations reflect distinctly different attitudes to authority, gender, religious practice, and other matters.
Differences among these national Gosei developed because of the histories of their Japanese emigrant ancestors.

Japanese-Brazilian (Nipo-brasileiro) Gosei are a small part of an ethnic minority in Brazil.
In 1990, 0.8% of the Nipo-Brasileiros community were Gosei.

According to a 2011 columnist in The Rafu Shimpo of Los Angeles, "Younger Japanese Americans are more culturally American than Japanese" and "other than some vestigial cultural affiliations, a Yonsei or Gosei is simply another American."
