Volume is a measure of the number of shares of an asset (such as a stock or bond) that are traded in a given period of time. As one of the oldest market indicators used for analysis, sudden changes in volume are often the result of news-related events. Commonly used by chartists and technical analysts, volume analysis is centered on the following ideas: Theory. Volume analysis is used to confirm and predict price directions. The theory behind volume analysis rests primarily on the assumption that a high trade volume signals market consensus behind the corresponding movement in price, and thus that the trend in price is likely to continue. Conversely, a comparatively low volume is interpreted as an indication that the market does not agree with the current price behavior, and is a possible signal of a price trend reversal.

In this way, individual trends in an asset's price and volume can be discerned from the trends of the market as a whole. Spikes and blow offs. A caveat to the logic presented above is in the case of exceedingly extreme changes in volume, which can be generally defined as five to ten times the normal volume for that period of time. These cases are referred to as exhaustion, because there will often be no one left to participate in the market, and thus the price will stop moving along its previous trajectory. In a more applied context: Conversely, Liquidity. Volume is also a useful metric for determining the liquidity of an asset. Liquidity is a measure of how easily an asset can be bought or sold without dramatically affecting the asset's price. Therefore, a market for a security in which there are many buyers and sellers would feature a large volume and thus high liquidity. Due to volume's relevance with respect to liquidity, it is used by some traders to form exit strategies, due to the inherent risks of trading an asset with low liquidity. Traders may also form entry or exit strategies based the relative"}, {"text": "liquidity of an asset by comparing volume to historical averages. Applications. The theory of volume analysis is employed by traders in several ways: Positive and Negative Volume Index. Developed by Paul Dysart in the 1930s, the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and the Negative Volume Index (NVI) incorporate volume into a quantifiable metric that is used to evaluate price reversals. Both the PVI and NVI are functions of the volume and closing price for the previous period of time. The PVI is recalculated when the trading volume increases from the previous period, and the NVI is recalculated when the trading volume decrease from the previous period. These two metrics, when put together, show how volume is affecting the price of a security. A change in PVI indicates that prices are driven by high volumes. A change in the NVI indicates that prices are changing without an effect from volume. Many investors will often follow the NVI more closely than the PVI, a some believe that noise trading is a significant factor in the PVI. Chaikin Money Flow.

Because of this nature, the Chaikin money flow is often modeled as a short term oscillator. It is also often used to detect divergence between price and volume. Klinger Volume Oscillator.

Robert Fowler, the Church of Ireland Archbishop, objected, and took steps affecting three of the trustees, the third being Thomas Kelly. He inhibited a group of five priests, including Maturin and Walker, from preaching in church, and they gravitated towards the Chapel. Walker in 1794 added the Locks Penitentiary, intended to provide work for females released from the Lock Hospital. From this time the Chapel took on a more Calvinist tone, and encountered hostility from the Church of Ireland hierarchy. It drew in Trinity College students, and so recruited the evangelical ranks, and the congregation was influential. Arthur Guinness II, an evangelical Christian, was one of them.

He was expelled the next day. At the Bethesda Chapel, the trustee Benjamin Williams Mathias became Walker's successor as chaplain, holding the post to 1835. With a congregation of fellow-believers in Stafford Street, Dublin, Walker supported himself by lecturing on subjects of university study.

Most of Cockburn's previous work had been, in one way or another, about himself, his own ideas: \"It's me trying to figure myself out.\" When he was asked to make a video for The Colin Campbell Sessions to be screened with other new films inspired by Colin Campbell, it gave him pause:I didn't know how I was going to be able to do a film about myself and still be respectful. I felt guilty about using Colin's life to do stuff about myself. I felt like I was standing on the shoulders of giants.

To comply with the commission, Cockburn must take inspiration from an influential predecessor or \"video dad\", Colin Campbell. The man speaking in the video, according to Cockburn, has an \"adverse relationship to his late father (who is also himself) \u2013 an antagonism born of disassociation, of one party's ignorance and the other's absence.\" He is attempting to breach that chasm by throwing a rope across it, \"even as a third aspect of himself scissors the rope into little bits.\"Colin is an influence at second remove; I understand his work by having heard people talk about it, by having seen work made in its shadow.

Colin Campbell made his first films in Sackville, where he made a \"gently ironic send up\" of his small town origins (he was born in Reston, Manitoba) and \"big world aspirations,\" done in the form of a monologue delivered to camera, \"all in one take, like so much work made in the seventies.\" \"Sackville, I'm Yours\" (1972) became a template for Campbell's work over"}, {"text": "the next three decades, and \"set up a style sheet for much of the field.\" Cockburn's own performance addressed directly to the camera is a postmodernist take on the motif: \"there is a picture playing beside him, which turns his speaking self into a picture as well.\" Hoolboom asks whether the invoked eulogy, or indeed the video itself, is a eulogy for Campbell, and interprets the invocation as an expression of \"the wish for the father's death\", a metaphor for \"the unconscious of the medium itself, the unspoken darkness that lies at the heart of the collective project\" of video art:Isn't this a confession? Whenever I speak I am killing him. Or: the only way for me to speak is to kill my father. Every word I pronounce is sharp, that's how dad feels it, because it's either him or me.

Hoolboom was under the impression this was done with no edits. This is not quite true, as Cockburn pointed out:There is one not-quite-hidden but not-usually-noticed dissolve which enables me to present an 18-minute take as a nine-minute (hopefully invisible) split-screen.

Glenfield composed and recorded it a couple of years before Cockburn's commission, and first played the CD for Cockburn while he was formulating the concept for his video. \"I thought it would be appropriate for \"The Impostor\", with its waxing/waning, loop-like structure, and when he told me the title and the sonic ingredients, I knew it was doubly perfect.\" Glenfield had been thinking about Morse code and its use as a means for soldiers to communicate with their allies during wartime, wondering if anyone might have formulated a message for an enemy, which Cockburn called \"a proposal that sounds melancholy and humane\"; a part of the piece of music represents the phrase \"for my enemy\" in Morse code, repeated and superposed at various pitches. This seemed fitting to Cockburn, referring to the \"giants\" on whose shoulders he \"stands\": \"I don't know if they are my enemy \u2013 I doubt it, in fact, for they have given me so much \u2013 but quite often I feel I am theirs (or maybe \"rival\" is a more accurate, less stinging though also less evocative term than enemy).\" Release and reception. \"The Impostor (hello"}, {"text": "goodbye)\" premiered two days before \"WEAKEND\" at the festival where they were both commissioned, Tranz Tech, the third biennial media art festival, on 9 October 2003.

Norman Wilner describes Cockburn's work as \"strange and recursive and curious and enthralling, and sometimes all at once.\" Alissa Firth-Eagland describes Cockburn's videos as \"cleverly self-referential without being didactic\"; she finds his performances intriguing:I find there are many blind spots for me in all his onscreen characterizations. A notable mutability of portrayer and portrayed is evident in particular in his work \"The Impostor (hello goodbye)\": there's a mysterious blurring of fact and fiction.

It depicts the Roman god of the seasons Vertumnus in the guise of an old woman attempting to woo the lady Pomona. It is in the collection of the Gem\u00e4ldegalerie of the Berlin State Museums. Analysis. \"Vertumnus and Pomona\" is painted in the style typical of the Leonardeschi, utilizing Leonardo da Vinci's female facial type with downcast eyes and tight smile, Leonardo's sfumato technique, and reflecting Leonardo's observation of botany. The painting likewise draws from known Leonardo compositions from before 1513: For example, Melzi's painting had the same color scheme as Leonardo's \"Virgin and Child with Saint Anne\" at the Louvre. The tall mountains in the background, especially including the arched bridge on the left, are drawn from the background of the \"Mona Lisa.\" In addition, the pose of Pomona is closely related to the pose of the Virgin Mary in Leonardo's drawing called the Burlington House Cartoon in the National Gallery.

The painting depicts a scene from book XIV of Ovid's \"Metamorphoses\" that describes Vertumnus trying to convince Pomona to love using the parable of the elm and the vine.

In the immediate foreground is a growth of columbine, a symbol of fertility that is likewise prominent in Melzi's \"Flora.\" Attribution. \"Vertumnus and Pomona\" has been mistaken for the work of Leonardo, such as while it was in the collection of Frederick the Great. The painting however has a longstanding, though debated, attribution to Francesco Melzi. The first to attribute the painting to Melzi was the art historian Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694\u20131774). An early but uncertain attribution to Melzi came from the art historian Giovanni Morelli in 1877. In 1905, Wilhelm von Bode confirmed Melzi as the artist of this painting as well as of \"Flora\" at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.

In 1929, Wilhelm Sudia likewise gave the painting to Melzi based on the stylistic relationship to Leonardo. There have been detractors from an attribution to Melzi as well. Georg Hirth and Richard Muther argued in 1889 that it could not have been painted by Melzi because there was little sixteenth-century evidence to suggest that Melzi was anything more than a \"dilettante in painting.\" Rodman Henry acknowledged in 1959 that this painting and \"Flora\" at the Hermitage Museum shared a similar style, but agreed there was too little evidence to suggest Melzi was a practicing artist, writing: \"There is no proof in any form that would indicate that Melzi left a single painting.\" He noted that, even though Melzi was with Leonardo until the master's death in 1519 at Chateau Cloux in France, Leonardo never wrote about Melzi as an artist. Remnants of Melzi's signature were uncovered in 1995, which survive as the Greek letters S and H on a rock near the foot of Vertumnus.

Fai Ming Estate is located in a valley between Kei Lak Tsai and Pak Tai To Yan. The plot of land, with an area of 0.82 hectares, was originally zoned for government, institution or community use. It was rezoned as a residential area in response to a demand for additional public housing in the district.

The new plan involved the construction of two residential blocks of 41 and 18 storeys respectively, providing around 940 flats. The increase in flats was provided by an increase in plot ratio in response to a new government policy mandating the construction of more public housing units. Work on the foundations was delayed in 2017 because the original contractor, China State Construction Engineering, faced difficulties with the terrain and had insufficient staff to work on the project.

The technology directly writes new genetic information into a targeted DNA site. It uses a fusion protein, consisting of a catalytically impaired Cas9 endonuclease fused to an engineered reverse transcriptase enzyme, and a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA), capable of identifying the target site and providing the new genetic information to replace the target DNA nucleotides. It mediates targeted insertions, deletions, and base-to-base conversions without the need for double strand breaks (DSBs) or donor DNA templates. The technology has received mainstream press attention due to its potential uses in medical genetics. It utilizes methodologies similar to precursor genome editing technologies, including CRISPR/Cas9 and base editors. Prime editing has been used on some animal models of genetic disease and plants. Genome editing. Components. Prime editing involves three major components: Mechanism. Genomic editing takes place by transfecting cells with the pegRNA and the fusion protein. Transfection is often accomplished by introducing vectors into a cell. Once internalized, the fusion protein nicks the target DNA sequence, exposing a 3\u2019-hydroxyl group that can be used to initiate (prime) the reverse transcription of the"}, {"text": "RT template portion of the pegRNA. This results in a branched intermediate that contains two DNA flaps: a 3\u2019 flap that contains the newly synthesized (edited) sequence, and a 5\u2019 flap that contains the dispensable, unedited DNA sequence. The 5\u2019 flap is then cleaved by structure-specific endonucleases or 5\u2019 exonucleases. This process allows 3\u2019 flap ligation, and creates a heteroduplex DNA composed of one edited strand and one unedited strand. The reannealed double stranded DNA contains nucleotide mismatches at the location where editing took place. In order to correct the mismatches, the cells exploit the intrinsic mismatch repair (MMR) mechanism, with two possible outcomes: (i) the information in the edited strand is copied into the complementary strand, permanently installing the edit; (ii) the original nucleotides are re-incorporated into the edited strand, excluding the edit. Development process. During the development of this technology, several modifications were done to the components, in order to increase its effectiveness. Prime editor 1. In the first system, a wild-type Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase was fused to the Cas9 H840A nickase C-terminus. Detectable editing efficiencies were observed. Prime editor 2. In order to enhance DNA-RNA affinity, enzyme processivity, and thermostability, five amino acid"}, {"text": "substitutions were incorporated into the M-MLV reverse transcriptase. The mutant M-MLV RT was then incorporated into PE1 to give rise to (Cas9 (H840A)-M-MLV RT(D200N/L603W/T330P/T306K/W313F)). Efficiency improvement was observed over PE1. Prime editor 3. Despite its increased efficacy, the edit inserted by PE2 might still be removed due to DNA mismatch repair of the edited strand. To avoid this problem during DNA heteroduplex resolution, an additional single guide RNA (sgRNA) is introduced. This sgRNA is designed to match the edited sequence introduced by the pegRNA, but not the original allele. It directs the Cas9 nickase portion of the fusion protein to nick the unedited strand at a nearby site, opposite to the original nick. Nicking the non-edited strand causes the cell's natural repair system to copy the information in the edited strand to the complementary strand, permanently installing the edit. However, there are drawbacks to this system as nicking the unaltered strand can lead to additional undesired indels. Prime editor 4. Prime editor 4 utilizes the same machinery as PE2, but also includes a plasmid that encodes for dominant negative MMR protein MLH1. Dominant negative MLH1 is able to essentially knock out endogenous MLH1 by inhibition, thereby reducing cellular MMR response"}, {"text": "and increasing prime editing efficiency. Prime editor 5. Prime editor 5 utilizes the same machinery as PE3, but also includes a plasmid that encodes for dominant negative MLH1. Like PE4, this allows for a knockdown of endogenous MMR response, increasing the efficiency of prime editing. Nuclease Prime Editor. Nuclease Prime Editor uses Cas9 nuclease instead of Cas9(H840A) nickase. Unlike prime editor 3 (PE3) that requires dual-nick at both DNA strands to induce efficient prime editing, Nuclease Prime Editor requires only a single pegRNA since the single-gRNA already creates double-strand break instead of single-strand nick. Twin prime editing. The \"twin prime editing\" (twinPE) mechanism reported in 2021 allows editing large sequences of DNA \u2013 sequences as large as genes \u2013 which addresses the method's key drawback. It uses a prime editor protein and two prime editing guide RNAs. History. Prime editing was developed in the lab of David R. Liu at the Broad Institute and disclosed in Anzalone et al. (2019). Since then prime editing and the research that produced it have received widespread scientific acclaim, being called \"revolutionary\" and an important part of the future of editing. Development of epegRNAs. Prime editing efficiency can be increased with the use of"}, {"text": "engineered pegRNAs (epegRNAs). One common issue with traditional pegRNAs is degradation of the 3' end, leading to decreased PE efficiency. epegRNAs have a structured RNA motif added to their 3' end to prevent degradation. Implications. Although additional research is required to improve the efficiency of prime editing, the technology offers promising scientific improvements over other gene editing tools. The prime editing technology has the potential to correct the vast majority of pathogenic alleles that cause genetic diseases, as it can repair insertions, deletions, and nucleotide substitutions. Advantages. The prime editing tool offers advantages over traditional gene editing technologies. CRISPR/Cas9 edits rely on non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) to fix DNA breaks, while the prime editing system employs DNA mismatch repair. This is an important feature of this technology given that DNA repair mechanisms such as NHEJ and HDR, generate unwanted, random insertions or deletions (INDELs). These are byproducts that complicate the retrieval of cells carrying the correct edit. The prime system introduces single-stranded DNA breaks instead of the double-stranded DNA breaks observed in other editing tools, such as base editors. Collectively, base editing and prime editing offer complementary strengths and weaknesses for making targeted transition mutations. Base"}, {"text": "editors offer higher editing efficiency and fewer INDEL byproducts if the desired edit is a transition point mutation and a PAM sequence exists roughly 15 bases from the target site. However, because the prime editing technology does not require a precisely positioned PAM sequence to target a nucleotide sequence, it offers more flexibility and editing precision. Remarkably, prime editors allow all types of substitutions, transitions and transversions to be inserted into the target sequence. Cytosine base editing and adenine BE can already perform precise base transitions but for base transversions there have been no good options. Prime editing performs transversions with good usability. PE can insert up to 44bp, delete up to 80, or combinations thereof. Because the prime system involves three separate DNA binding events (between (i) the guide sequence and the target DNA, (ii) the primer binding site and the target DNA, and (iii) the 3\u2019 end of the nicked DNA strand and the pegRNA), it has been suggested to have fewer undesirable off-target effects than CRISPR/Cas9. Limitations. There is considerable interest in applying gene-editing methods to the treatment of diseases with a genetic component. However, there are multiple challenges associated with this approach. An effective treatment would"}, {"text": "require editing of a large number of target cells, which in turn would require an effective method of delivery and a great level of tissue specificity. As of 2019, prime editing looks promising for relatively small genetic alterations, but more research needs to be conducted to evaluate whether the technology is efficient in making larger alterations, such as targeted insertions and deletions. Larger genetic alterations would require a longer RT template, which could hinder the efficient delivery of pegRNA to target cells. Furthermore, a pegRNA containing a long RT template could become vulnerable to damage caused by cellular enzymes. Prime editing in plants suffers from low efficiency ranging from zero to a few percent and needs significant improvement. Some of these limitations have been mitigated by recent improvements to the prime editors, including motifs that protect pegRNAs from degradation. Further research is needed before prime editing could be used to correct pathogenic alleles in humans. Research has also shown that inhibition of certain MMR proteins, including MLH1 can improve prime editing efficiency. Delivery method. Base editors used for prime editing require delivery of both a protein and RNA molecule into living cells. Introducing exogenous gene editing technologies into living organisms"}, {"text": "is a significant challenge. One potential way to introduce a base editor into animals and plants is to package the base editor into a viral capsid. The target organism can then be transduced by the virus to synthesize the base editor \"in vivo\". Common laboratory vectors of transduction such as lentivirus cause immune responses in humans, so proposed human therapies often centered around adeno-associated virus (AAV) because AAV infections are largely asymptomatic. Unfortunately, the effective packaging capacity of AAV vectors is small, approximately 4.4kb not including inverted terminal repeats. As a comparison, an SpCas9-reverse transcriptase fusion protein is 6.3kb, which does not even account for the lengthened guide RNA necessary for targeting and priming the site of interest. However, successful delivery in mice has been achieved by splitting the editor into two AAV vectors or by using an adenovirus, which has a larger packaging capacity. Applications. Prime editors may be used in gene drives. A prime editor may be incorporated into the \"Cleaver\" half of a \"Cleave and Rescue\"/\"ClvR\" system.

Prodan was proposed as a membrane dye by Weber and Farris in 1979. Since then, multiple derivatives have been introduced, such as lypophilic Laurdan (derivative of lauric acid) and thiol-reactive Badan (bromoacetic acid derivative) and Acrylodan. Being a push-pull dye, Prodan has a large excited-state dipole moment and consequently high sensibility to the polarity of its environment (solvent or cell membrane, including the physical state of surrounding phospholipids). Usually it is concentrated at the surface of the membrane, with some degree of penetration. Excited-state relaxation of prodan is sensitive to whether the linkage between phospholipid hydrocarbon tails and the glycerol backbone is of ether or ester type. Therefore, many studies exploited this sensitivity to explore coexisting lipid domains in dual-wavelength ratio measurements, to detect non-bilayer lipid phases, to map membrane structure changes. However, Prodan presence itself is found to change the structure of membranes. In proteins, Prodan and Badan are quenched by non-covalent bonding with tryptophan and the oxidation of it by excited Prodan/Badan.

Fluorescence wavelength is highly sensitive to the polarity of the environment.

Cyclic voltammetry shows a reversible reduction peak at \u20141.85 V in acetonitrile and a quasi-reversible one at \u20140.88 in aqueous buffer (pH 7.3) (vs. NHE). Contrariwise, excited-state reduction potential is +1.6 V in the acetonitrile and +0.6 V in water (vs. NHE). Photostability of Prodan and Laurdan in low-polaritry environments is limited due to undergoing an intersystem crossing in the excited state, with subsequent reactions with triplet oxygen (this also diminishes its quantum yield, which is 0.95 in ethanol but only 0.03 in cyclohexane)."}, {"text": "Dategad Fort is a small fort located South of Satara, in the Maharashtra state of India.

Her advocacy for science-informed, human-centered design, her scholarship on modern architecture, her criticism for the \"New Republic\" and \"Architectural Record\", and her writings on the perceptual and social psychology of built environmental experience call for improved architectural and urban design practices and recognition of their profound social impact. She is the author of \"Louis Kahn's Situated Modernism\" (2001), and \"Welcome to Your World: How the Built Environment Shapes Our Lives\" (2017), which the Salk Institute's Terrence Sejnowski says lays \"the groundwork for a cognitive neuroscience of architecture.\" Biography.

Academic and literary career. Goldhagen's \"Louis Kahn's Situated Modernism\" (2001), which was grounded in her doctoral dissertation, demonstrates that architect Louis I. Kahn, who until then typically had been portrayed as a kind of historicizing, visionary mystic, developed his intellectual and artistic practice in dialogue with the major artistic, intellectual and social currents of the early postwar American culture, especially the imperative to strengthen the foundations of participatory democracy. \"Anxious Modernisms: Experimentation in Postwar Architectural Culture\" (2001), edited together with R\u00e9jean Legault, emerged from a conference Goldhagen organized for the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1987; it contains her \"Coda: Reconceptualizing the Modern\" which, along with her 2008 \"Something to Talk About: Modernism, Discourse, Style\" in the Journal of the Society of"}, {"text": "Architectural Historians (translated into Spanish as \"Algo de qu\u00e9 hablar: Modernismo, discurso, estilo\",) presents a theorization of western architectural modernism's heterogeneous nature and discursive foundations. From teaching in schools of architecture, Goldhagen came to appreciate that how people actually experience architecture and the built environment is under-studied, under-taught, and undertheorized, so she began looking toward the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty as well as early work in embodied cognition by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. In Stanford Anderson's edited collection \"Aalto and America\" (2016), she demonstrates that Alvar Aalto's parti for his Viipuri (Vyborg) Library was grounded in metaphors originating in embodied cognition, an idea that inspired her work on the embodied cognition's foundational role in built environmental experience. This, together with research from biophilia, cognitive neuroscience, and environmental psychology, came together in her retheorization of built environmental experience, \"Welcome to Your World\".

Nault (1997) examined the arthropod transmission of plant viruses and proposed a new synthesis. Studies have also investigated the role of semiochemicals in attracting and repelling thrips and evaluated the effectiveness of biological control methods such as the use of predatory mites (Kirk and Terry, 2003).

RIOK1 is an atypical protein, which exists in most archaea and eukaryotes. It belongs to the serine/threonine-specific protein kinase family. It has been intensely studied to understand the maturation they promote on small ribosomal subunits (SSU). It is suggested that over-expression or mutations of the RIOK 1 gene may cause mis-regulation of its network (in metazoans - large signaling network at the protein and gene levels via which it stimulates or restricts growth and division in response to nutrient availability). This was observed in primary cancer cells and may contribute to cancer initiation and progression. Characteristics.

Function. Immune Repressor. Despite the fact that RIOK1 functions remain unclear, it's been discovered that the lack of this protein grants resistance to a certain type of bacteria called \"Aeromonas\", which shows its function as an immune repressor. The feedback loop is the model which RIOK1 allows the inhibition of our immune system against bacteria among p38 MAPK and SKN-1.

In addition, RIOK1 has also a potential role with the metabolism of the 40S ribosomal subunit, precisely, we know it's involved in the maturation of the 40S ribosomal subunit and needed for the recycling of PNO1 and NOB1, which are both RNA-binding proteins from 40S precursors. Protein Binding. Furthermore, RIOK1 protein binding function stands out among other proteins involved in the same activity. For instance, in the binding of PRMT5 in which RIOK1 and PICln are involved, suggest that RIOK1 is a more general adapter than PICln. RIOK1 also interacts with NCL via its C-terminus, which targets NCL for PRMT5 methylation. RioK1 binds to a shallow groove of the TIM barrel domain of PRMT5 via its N-terminal sequence VPGQFDDAD (residues 12-20).

John Benson had already made an unsuccessful attempt to produce a collection of \"Gasoline Alley\" comic strips through Kitchen Sink Press in the 1990s. The publication began with the comic creator and collector Joe Matt, who had been collecting Frank King's daily and Sunday \"Gasoline Alley\" strips for some time and had accumulated a sizable collection of the strip. He introduced some of the strips's prime material to Chris Oliveros of Drawn & Quarterly, convincing him that it was worth publication. Chris Ware had also been collecting the strip in clippings and merchandising, and Drawn & Quarterly reached out to him for additional material once the project had started.

In mid 2010 the series resumed with the release of its fourth volume. The whole daily strip output of Frank King's \"Gasoline Alley\" spans from 1918 to 1969. According to editor Jeet Heer, as of 2014, the publisher had not decided how many volumes the series would have. However, Heer stated that would like to get out as much of King's material as possible. The series' editors have pondered the idea of an ending of the series shortly after WWII since, after that point, the comic strip started being produced to a greater extent by the many assistants working under King and to a lesser extent by King himself.

Plot. (1) Basic plot. Once, long ago, a fairy came down to earth from the sky and sat down to rest in the shade of a tree. She became intimate with the tree, and gave birth to a son. When he had grown up, the fairy returned to the sky. The boy would play with the tree and call it his father, so they named him Namu Doryeong. One day, the tree told the boy that if ever he were to fall down in heavy rain, the boy must climb onto him and ride him.

Finally, he came across a boy begging to be saved. Namu Doryeong wanted to save the boy, too, but his father refused. Nonetheless, Namu Doryeong disobeyed his father and rescued the boy. The rain stopped and the group came to a house on the highest peak. There lived an old woman with her daughter and a slave girl. The old woman was looking for partners for her daughter and the slave girl. In an attempt to win the daughter for himself, the boy saved by Namu Doryeong claimed that Namu Doryeong could pick out grains of millet scattered on a bed of sand. When the old woman asked to see Namu Doryeong's skill for herself, Namu Doryeong found himself in a tight spot. Just then, the ants came and gathered the scattered millet.

Alternative versions of this story hold that Namu Doryeong was the son of a childless widow or unmarried woman who had intercourse with the spirit of the tree and bore a son. In some versions, the story of Namu Doryeong's birth is omitted altogether. This omission has served to rationalize the story, given that the birth of a person to a tree is hard to accept in terms of human experience. There are also variations in terms of the animals that help Namu Doryeong. In some versions, not just ants and mosquitos but bees, mayflies, snakes, swallows, roe deer and wild boar make appearances. In others, the boy rescued by Namu Doryeong does not feature at all. Sometimes, he is introduced as a man who comes to the old woman's house once the flood has receded. Features and significance. \"Namu doryeong\" shows the character of a myth in that it describes the origins of humanity. Unlike in the West, where"}, {"text": "floods are due to divine wrath, the reason for the inundation in \"Namu doryeong\" is unclear. Namu Toryeong is of holy descent, having been born to a fairy and a tree spirit. His mother returns to heaven after giving birth to him, and he is brought up by his father. This places him apart from heroes in other Korean legends, who have heavenly fathers and earthly mothers (\u5929\u7236\u5730\u6bcd). Furthermore, he is raised by a tree on earth. Namu Doryeong, the progenitor of the new human race, is thus an earth-oriented being. The boy who connives against Namu Doryeong also becomes the progenitor of a new race. This boy symbolizes the evil nature of human beings, while Namu Doryeong represents our good side. Their two conflicting natures show how both good and evil are innate in humans. Namu Doryeong's descendants will be good, while those of the boy will be bad. Because plants save life, while humans kill.

Moreover, \"Namu doryeong\" differs from most flood myths in that it does not end with marriage between a brother and sister who emerge as the sole survivors of the flood. This, too, indicates its transformation from a myth to a folk tale. Other. Namu Doryeong and the boy represent good and bad human nature, respectively.

It was famously commanded by Philip's son Alexander the Great during his conquest of the Achaemenid Empire between 334 and 323 BC. The Macedonian phalanx model then spread throughout the Hellenistic world, where it became the standard battle formation for pitched battles. During the Macedonian Wars against the Roman Republic (214\u2013148 BC), the phalanx appeared obsolete against the more manoeuvrable Roman legions. Development. In 359 BC, following the Macedonian defeat by the Illyrians, which killed the majority of Macedonia's army and King Perdiccas III of Macedon, Perdiccas' brother Philip II took the throne. Philip II was a hostage in Thebes for much of his youth (367\u2013360), where he witnessed the combat tactics of the general Epaminondas, which then influenced his restructuring of the infantry. Philip's military reforms were a new approach to the current hoplite warfare which focused on their shield, the \"aspis\"; his focus was on a new weapon, the \"sarissa\".

Philip called the soldiers in the phalanx , meaning 'foot-companions', bolstering the importance of the phalanx to the King. Philip also increased the amount of training required for the infantry and introduced regulations on military behaviour. During Alexander's campaign, the phalanx remained more or less the same, with the notable difference being more non-Macedonian soldiers among the ranks. Equipment. Each phalangite carried as his primary weapon a \"sarissa\", a double-pointed pike over 6 m (18 ft) in length. The weight of the sarissa is unknown, as no surviving examples have been found, but modern reconstructions have shown that a 5.8 m pike could weigh no more than 4.05 kg (9 lb). At close range such large weapons were of little use, but an intact phalanx could easily keep its enemies at a distance.

The shield, called a \"telamon\", was made of bronze plated wood and was worn hung around the neck so as to free up both hands to wield the \"sarissa\". All of the armor and weaponry a phalangite would carry totaled about 40 pounds, which was close to 10 pounds less than the weight of Greek hoplites' equipment. Formation. The phalanx consisted of a line-up of several battalion blocks called \"syntagmata\", each of its 16 files (\"lochoi\") numbering 16 men, for a total of 256 in each unit.

Due to the structure of the phalanx, it was weakest in the rear and on the right. Neither Philip nor Alexander actually used the phalanx as their arm of choice, but instead used it to hold the enemy in place while their heavy cavalry broke through their ranks. The Macedonian cavalry fought in wedge formation and was almost always stationed on the far right. The hypaspists, elite infantrymen who served as the king's bodyguard, were stationed on the immediate right of the phalanx wielding hoplite sized spears and shields.

It is, along with Flateyjarb\u00f3k, one of the largest 14th century manuscripts produced in Iceland. The manuscript was written in c.1360 at the house of canons regular at Helgafell for Ormr Snorrason. From 1401 to 1807 it was housed at the church in Skar\u00f0.

Folio 94v. of the manuscript contains a note which records that in 1401 Ormr Snorrason \"gave and delivered\" the manuscript to the church at Skar\u00f0. However, a document from 1397 notes that the ownership of the manuscript was split between the church at Skar\u00f0 and a \"resident farmer\".

As a result, human body is used as the basic medium and language in the creation of \"To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain\".

Maria Howard Weeden was a prolific and versatile painter who painted local flora and landscapes, illustrated greeting cards, illuminated poems, and even taught children's art classes in her own home, but who is best remembered today for her portraits of African Americans including Saint Bartley. Weeden was a white woman living in the postbellum South who chose to paint Saint Bartley and other African American individuals. Many of the individuals she painted remain unnamed, as they were freedmen and women who worked for her family or neighboring families in positions such as cooks and gardeners after the Civil War, but Saint Bartley is an exception. Bartley Harris was a prominent and influential public figure for both African Americans and whites in late-nineteenth-century Huntsville who was known for his massive baptisms in Huntsville's \u201cBig Spring\u201d and for his hiding of local Confederates\u2019 valuables in his church during the Civil War.

Medium and style. Weeden\u2019s portrait of Saint Bartley Harris, like the majority of her portraits, is a watercolor. This portrait highlights Weeden\u2019s facility in creating nearly photographic images often less than six inches tall and made of lines so delicate they are nearly indistinguishable. The intricate brushwork in this painting is often attributed to her extreme nearsightedness and her use of a brush with only three bristles. Weeden\u2019s interest in portraiture likely originated in her artistic training with William Frye, a well-known portrait artist in North Alabama who began instructing Weeden when she was eleven. This early childhood instruction and some additional guidance at female seminaries in Huntsville and Tuskegee, however, constituted the entirety of Weeden\u2019s training. This lack of extensive formal training led to the need for her to experiment in method and technique---experimentation that Alabama"}, {"text": "historians Frances C. Roberts and Sarah Huff Fisk suggested contributed to the uniqueness and originality of her medium (small watercolor portraits) and style. The style in which Saint Bartley Harris is rendered starkly contrasts common representations of African Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As opposed to typical caricatured, minstrel show depictions of African Americans from the period, Weeden\u2019s portrait highlights Harris\u2019 identity as an individual with dignity and humanity. Weeden's interest in naturalistic and realistic representations of African Americans grew after she attended the World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in September 1873, where she herself had a small exhibit. At the Columbian Exhibition, Weeden viewed caricatured and demeaning depictions of African Americans by contemporary artists including Edward W. Kemble and Arthur B. Frost, and she returned to Huntsville with a series of new commissions and an increased dedication to her mission of fair and realistic artistic representation, as exemplified in her realistic portrait of Saint Bartley.

This exhibition was facilitated by Weeden's Nashville friend Elizabeth Price, who played an instrumental role in promoting and disseminating Weeden's works at home and abroad. Elizabeth Price showed Weeden's painting of Saint Bartley Harris along with six other portraits to Edward Schulte, a gallery owner in Berlin, and after he offered to display her paintings, Price wrote back home to several Alabama and Tennessee newspapers, describing the gallery where the paintings were hung and recounting their positive reception, thereby earning Weeden additional fame and commissions. Weeden's portrait of St. Bartley hangs in her historic home which has been converted to the Weeden House Museum in the Twickenham Historic District of Huntsville, Alabama. In popular culture.

This difficulty speaks to Adams' skill and intentionality as he got the Monolith in one shot. At 2:30 in the afternoon with two glass plates remaining, Adams was ready to take the photograph of Half Dome he had envisioned in his mind. Development process and technique. To create \"Monolith\", Ansel Adams used a very specific and innovative technique to manipulate the photograph to project the image he had in his mind's eye. Adams was aware of the photographic technique photogenia, which is the practice of intentionally manipulating lighting, exposure, and printing to communicate meaning. With photogenia in mind, he set out to take his first exposure of Half Dome using a K2 Yellow filter. The product was Half Dome with K2 Yellow Filter, 1927, but Adams immediately realized that the contrast would not create a dramatic enough feeling. With the yellow filter, the sky would still be light and there would be minimal tonal contrast. Adams was determined to conjure a photo that expressed the same overwhelming feeling that he felt standing on the \"Diving Board\" looking up at Half Dome that afternoon. Photographic emulsions are less sensitive to red"}, {"text": "light, so photos of reds are darker and underexposed. Adams decided to use a deep-red filter to transform the bright sky into a dark black background. The harsh tones and contrast between the white snow and black sky make smaller details more clear, and the eye is immediately drawn to the highlighted elements. \"Monolith\" was Adam's first time controlling the viewer's experience of his photos and was his first time using photographic principles that are reflected and refined in his later work. Visualization and the zone system. \"Monolith\" prompted Adams to coin the term \"visualization\". \"Monolith\" broke through straight photography and introduced \"visualization\" as a method in which a photographer knows the way they want the photo to look, and carefully controls aspects of the scene, emulsion, filter, and developmental process to create their exact \"envisionment\". Adams said, \"I see my finished platinum print on the ground glass in all its desired qualities, before my exposure\". With \"Monolith\", visualization was an essential element to its creation. In regards to the photograph, Adams stated, \"I began to think about how the print was to appear, and if it would transmit any of the feeling of the monumental shape before me in"}, {"text": "terms of its expressive-emotional quality. I realized that only a deep red filter would give me anything approaching the effect I felt emotionally.\" Additionally, the Zone System Adams created a structured way photographers could use dark-room and development techniques to achieve their visualizations. The \"Zone System\" works to carefully control exposure and development of the negative, and promotes using the dark room and framing techniques to emote a visual experience. Adams created ten different zones to describe a numerical range of the whitest photos to the blackest photos. A photographer can visualize how they want a print to look, choose the corresponding number in the zone range, then follow subsequent exposing, developing and printing methods to create exact desired tones. Lasting significance. The lasting significance and display surrounding \"Monolith\" is crucial to the development of modern photography, the environmentalist movement, and photography's role in social movements. The distribution and expansion of audience is something that makes \"Monolith\" and Ansel Adams's work particularly important.
