[{"text": "Christopher John Scott (n\u00e9 Davis) is a British scientist and professor of space and atmospheric physics at the University of Reading. His research focuses on the boundary and links between the atmosphere and space. He is the former project scientist for the Heliospheric Imager instruments on NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft. Education and research career. Scott attended Brockenhust College, before completing a BSc in Physics with Planetary & Space Physics at Aberystwyth University in 1989. He was awarded a PhD in upper atmosphere and auroral physics at the University of Southampton in 1993. After his PhD, he moved to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, initially to support the EISCAT ionospheric radar, before taking up a number of research posts, including project scientist for the Heliospheric Imagers on the twin STEREO spacecraft. At the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Scott worked closely with Richard Harrison and Mike Lockwood. In 2010, Scott moved to the University of Reading. Research highlights. Scott's primary research focus is on the ionosphere, particularly perturbations from below by atmospheric phenomenon. Scott was the first scientist to demonstrate lightning effects on the 'sporadic E' layer; transient, localized patches of relatively high electron density in the mid-ionosphere, which significantly affect radio-wave propagation. He"}, {"text": "subsequently investigated the relation between lightning occurrence and magnetic structures in the solar wind. Scott has also used novel datasets to study how pressure waves from the lower atmosphere can lead to disturbances in the ionosphere, most notably using records of the London Blitz World War II bombing raids and ionospheric measurements from Slough. Using the Heliospheric Imager instruments on the STEREO spacecraft, Scott made the first observations of a solar eruption tracked continuously from the Sun to the Earth. Public outreach and citizen science. Scott is actively involved in the public communication and promotion of science. He has made numerous appearances on TV and radio, most notably the BBC\u2019s Sky at Night, Newsnight, BBC Radio 4\u2019s Today programme, BBC2's James May's Man Lab, ITN news, and the Discovery Channel.

It is one of 42 surviving LDS tabernacles out of 92 built. The building was a notable construction for a settlement of Smithfield's size, and it served as a geographic and symbolic center for the early town, functioning as an important religious and public space. Architecture & construction. Land for a tabernacle was set aside early in 1860 on the town's central square. By 1880, the Smithfield Ward had outgrown the three-room building in which it was meeting, and in 1881, Bishop George L. Farrell and his counselors Preston T. Morehead and James Mack decided the time had come to erect a tabernacle. The tabernacle was designed in a Victorian Gothic style by Logan resident James Quayle of architecture firm Cannon and Mullen. Preston T. Morehead of the Smithfield Ward bishopric served as the chief engineer, superintending the construction. Morehead may also have collaborated in the design. Unusually for an LDS tabernacle, it was constructed and financed by the small Smithfield Ward rather than being a stake project. Stone for the foundation was salvaged from the abandoned building"}, {"text": "site of a nearby church meetinghouse. The building was constructed of approximately 220,000 yellow bricks distinctive to Smithfield and manufactured locally by Lars Mourtisen in his clay-pit brickyard near the Bear River. In some places, the masonry was layered up to seven wythes thick. Construction spanned roughly 20 years. One twenty-first century news report stated the building commenced in 1881, but the tabernacle's own datestone and other early or expert sources indicate it began in April 1883. It was completed in December 1902 at a cost of approximately $77,000, though it had been in use in its partially-completed condition for some years. For example, LDS Church President Wilford Woodruff noted in his diary on 3 August 1890 that he \"went to the New Tabernacle & Attended a meeting with the people the House was crouded G Q Cannon spoke 40 Minuts & W Woodruff 38 M[inutes].\" One much later news report suggested the building was finally dedicated in 1906, but the Smithfield Historical Society and the earliest surviving sources indicate the tabernacle was dedicated on 19 February 1905 by LDS apostle Rudger Clawson. The interior space was dominated by a chapel with an overlooking balcony, but the tower also featured"}, {"text": "an upper-story prayer circle room. The tabernacle's north and south walls each housed six tall pointed-arch windows with rectangular lights of varigated green. The front elevation included a large central pointed-arch window flanked by a smaller, similar window on either side, below which matching transom windows capped the two sets of entrance doors. Above the central window, the square tower featured the inscription \"HOLINESS TO THE LORD L.D.S. CHURCH,\" a notable deviation from the faith's usual practice of reserving the phrase to mark its temples. Datestones to either side of this inscription mark the construction of the building. A rose window and a second smaller round architectural embellishment (possibly originally a window, but one that had been bricked over long before other windows were covered) appear in the upper half of the square tower. The only architectural voids on the rear elevation were two small doors. Tabernacle era. After its completion, the building served as the center of religious and civic life in the city, as the setting for both worship services and secular occasions such as musical performances, graduations, and other community meetings. For example, United States Vice President Charles Curtis reportedly visited the tabernacle during a fall 1932"}, {"text": "trip to Utah. As it became partially usable during construction, the Smithfield Ward began holding its meetings in the tabernacle until its first division on 11 November 1906. The Second Ward (congregants living south of Summit Creek) continued meeting in the tabernacle, while the First Ward relocated to a nearby three-room community building, taking with them a small pipe organ that had been in the tabernacle. From 1910-1914, members of the Smithfield Second Ward performed operettas throughout Cache Valley to raise funds for a new pipe organ for the tabernacle. The new instrument was installed in late 1913, and was a point of community pride. In the 1910s, the \"Smithfield Sentinel\" newspaper reported ongoing work to repair lightning damage to the building, particularly to the tower. The cost of repairs amounted to about $100. Further renovations and repairs took place in December 1928. The roof was partially reshingled, windows were reworked to improve ventilation, and broken panes were replaced. The interior walls and ceiling were repainted, the woodwork cleaned, and a new electric lighting system was installed. By 1926, ward leaders recognized the tabernacle provided inadequate classroom space and no recreation facilities for the growing congregation. A new Recreation Hall"}, {"text": "was constructed in 1926-27 slightly south of the tabernacle instead of abutting it, due to the perceived difficulty in harmonizing the two buildings. Regular ward meetings were then held in this new Recreation Hall, with the exception of Sunday sacrament meetings, which continued in the tabernacle. By the 1940s, ward and stake leaders determined the Second Ward had outgrown the Recreation Hall, and that heating the tabernacle for Sunday sacrament meetings during the winter months was a costly undertaking. In January 1949, Second Ward Bishop G. Doane Chambers, with the approval of the Smithfield Stake Presidency and the church's Presiding Bishopric, offered the building and grounds to the City of Smithfield with the stipulation that they be kept in good repair. The deal was never finalized. In 1951, the Second Ward moved to its newly-constructed meetinghouse, marking the end of the tabernacle's use as a house of worship. The building apparently remained unused for some period between 1951 and 16 May 1955, when it was deeded to the Cache County School District, which planned to renovate it as a storage facility and maintenance garage.

The tabernacle's vacancy following the relocation of the Second Ward attracted some local criticism,"}, {"text": "particularly among older residents who felt the building was being desecrated by standing unused. The Smithfield Stake Presidency was contacted and visited the tabernacle, after which its members J. Byron Ravsten, Merlin Thatcher \"M. T.\" VanOrden (who was concurrently serving as the mayor of Smithfield from 1953-1957), and Samuel Hymas proposed the renovation of the facility into a recreation center. The plan was approved by the Smithfield Stake High Council. The school board agreed to sell the tabernacle back to the church for the nominal sum of $1 USD, under the stipulation it be used as a recreation facility. (One later source gives the date of this sale as 17 July 1980, but a history written by Smithfield Third Ward members in 1958 to document the recently concluded building remodel indicates the transfer of ownership back to the church had already been completed by that time, and Cache County Recorder plats for 1970 and 1978 confirm the tabernacle was owned by the Smithfield Stake during those years.) To that end, significant renovations to the building began in 1955. The principal chapel space was remodeled into a 46 by 75 foot recreation floor marked for basketball, volleyball, and shuffleboard. Basketball backboards"}, {"text": "were added with the removal of the balcony, pews, and rostrum, and the addition of spectator bleachers. The windows were apparently bricked over. The 1913 pipe organ was relocated to the Second Ward meetinghouse (completed 1952). To diminish the building's impression as a religious edifice and to reduce maintenance costs, the spire and four accompanying finials were removed, reducing the square tower to approximately 2/3 of its original height. Pinnacles at each of the building's four corners were also removed, along with decorative caps (possibly modelled after beehives) atop each buttress. The prayer circle room was eventually relegated to storage of elements from either the tabernacle itself or the later-demolished First Ward building, including window pieces and a pulpit. An annex was added at the rear of the building, blocking two original entrances but adding two new ones. The addition contained shower, locker room, and kitchen facilities to support the new use as a recreation hall. The addition also included an upper-level classroom that was apparently used, at one point, for seminary classes by the nearby Smithfield Junior High (which later became part of Summit Elementary School).

The renovation and expansion was funded by an assessment paid by the four wards in Smithfield and Amalga, donations from the Clarkston and Newton wards, as well as substantial labor donated by individuals. The total cost of the remodel was approximately \"$23,000.00 in cash and labor.\" After the completion of these substantial renovations, the tabernacle became alternately known as the Youth Center, and was open for use on weekdays from 4-10 p.m., operating under the supervision of stake officials, and was used for physical education classes by the nearby Summit School and Smithfield Junior High School during the school day. City ownership & preservation status. In the wake of the 30 August 1962 Cache Valley Earthquake, it was reported the tabernacle had been \"badly damaged, and probably should be condemned.\" (In Richmond, a few miles to the north, the Benson Stake Tabernacle was damaged so badly that it was condemned and ordered razed, while the Cache Stake Tabernacle in Logan sustained only minor damage.) Despite this grim assessment, the tabernacle continued functioning as a recreation center.

The Youth Center served as the city's only public recreation facility from 1955 until the construction of a new, large facility at Sky View High School in 2000. Following the construction of the new complex, the Youth Center is still occasionally used as of 2023 for basketball games, public and private events, and as a storage facility for sports equipment. In 2012, the Smithfield Historical Society launched a renewed effort to draw attention to the tabernacle and accelerate its preservation. The society, citizens, and city officials worked to remove vines from the north side of the building, suppress volunteer trees, install a rain gutter system, and effect repairs to the masonry and foundation. A new furnace was installed inside, along with updates to lighting and restroom fixtures and resurfacing of the recreation floor.

First published in 1959 by Journeyman Press it consists of a cycle of 31 short poems that tell the story of a traveling circus. The poem is included in the collections: \"33 Poems\" (1987), \"Love Had a Compass\" (1997), and \"Circus Days and Nights\" (2000). The poem follows a day in the life of a circus as they arrive in a new town, set up, rehearse, perform and take down the circus. It is arranged according to the phases of the day (morning, afternoon, evening, the midway, and night) which deliberately align with the canonical hours and the title alludes to the song written by Francis of Assisi, \"Canticle of the Sun.\" Lax used his own experience traveling with the Cristiani Brothers Circus, where he would sometimes perform as a clown as inspiration for the poem. In writing about the circus Lax is able to write about theological ideas of creation and Christian allegory. Widely considered his best poem it marks the conclusion of the early, lyrical phase of Lax's career before he started writing experimental, minimalist poetry. Background and origin. Lax first met the Cristiani"}, {"text": "family when his friend Leonard Robinson was sent to write a piece about the family of acrobats for the \"Talk of the Town\" section of \"The New Yorker.\" The Cristiani family left a lasting impression on Lax.

In 1948 Lax was given a $500 advance for the project and spent the next month traveling with the Cristiani family and their circus. Over the next three years he would work on what would become \"The Circus of the Sun.\" In the summer of 1949 after having left the circus, Lax, along with his childhood friend Ad Reinhardt went to live with artist Robert Gibney and writer/editor Nancy Flagg Gibney in Henley Cay. There, Lax worked on writing his account of traveling with the circus. After Henley Cay, Lax returned to his hometown of Olean, NY and set up in the basement of the library at St Bonaventure University and worked on the poem every day.

After completing the poem Lax struggled to find a publisher. Eventually, Emil Antonucci, an artist who had made illustrations \"The Circus of the Sun\" offered to use the money he received from a Guggenheim grant to found Journeyman Press and publish the poem. This began a lifelong collaboration between Lax and Antonucci. Themes and tone. The poem relies on several Biblical allusions to develop what Michael McGregor called an \"analogy between circus and Creation.\" Paul Spaeth identifies the opening of \"The Circus of the Sun\" as a \"reworking of the Genesis account of creation.\" While James Uebbing sees the same lines as an improvisation \"on the prologue of St. John's Gospel\" before calling the overall tone of the poem reticent and distinctive. Strengthening the connection between the Bible and the circus, Thomas Merton wrote that the circus was, \"symbol and sacrament, cosmos and church.\" In"}, {"text": "her assessment of \"The Circus of the Sun\" in the \"Encyclopedia of Catholic Literature\" Jeannine Mizingou writes that Lax uses the circus as a \"microcosm of the universe\" that \"manifests variety and difference and yet a constant unity and community.\" McGregor supports this view of the poem when he writes, \"the Cristianis remained his vision of how to live in the world as individuals and as a community.\" The theme of individuals and community is reinforced through the structure of the poem itself, where the poems are individual, various, and different while also unified as a whole. As Denise Levertov wrote in her 1961 review in \"The Nation\" the poem is, \"not a collection of entirely separate poems but a unified book of variations on a theme.\" Another central theme identified by Mizingou is grace, writing that in the poem the circus is a place where, \"grace enables human beings to relate to others without dominance and without violence.\" Mizingou's reading builds off of the way Thomas Merton saw the poem demonstrating, \"the importance of human love.\" Critical reception.

In 1899, Fickert and Lang fell out and both she and Mayreder left the publication. Lang continued to publish \"Dokumente der Frauen\" until 1902 when funds were no longer available to keep it in production. She also served on the press commission of the (Federation of Austrian Women's Organizations). In 1898, Lang was selected as the \"Frauenverein\"s delegate at the conference of the International Abolitionist Federation to be held in London. Else Federn asked Lang to study the settlement movement while she was in England. Lang visited the Passmore Edwards Settlement and was impressed with the way the organization was working to solve social problems.

The first project of the Settlement Society was a school kitchen they operated in Brigittenau, though they were unable to locate a suitable building for housing. In 1901, Lang founded the Ottakring Settlement House to provide help to working women. She chose Ottakring because it was one of the most populous areas of Vienna and there was a need for alternative housing to the unsanitary tenements in which most workers lived. She hired Secessionist designers Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Roller to remodel an old brewery. Federn served as the matron of the facility but was unable to establish communal residential housing as in England. Instead, the Oattkring House served as the first gathering place for social services in Austria which were not funded by charity.

Arthur Schnitzler wrote a play, \"Das Wort (The Word)\" based on the tragic events, which led to Heinz's death. His death had a profound effect on Lang and for a time she lessened her involvement in the women's movement, believing that as she had failed as a mother to protect her own son, she had no right to counsel other women. Heinz fathered a son, Karl Friedrich \"Peter\" (1904\u20131947), who was posthumously born to Ida Oberndorfer. Lang took the child in and raised him. In 1905, the Committee on Woman Suffrage () was founded. They presented petitions to both houses of Parliament that same year and in 1907 submitted a petition with 4,000 signatures to abolish the law banning women's political organizations.

He was born on 29 August 1874 in Athens, where he spent his childhood. In September 1891 he went to Paris for the first time to study at Lycee Janson-de-Sailly, preparing for the French Naval School and pursuing a military career.

At the same time, in the years 1900, 1901, 1902 he was enrolled in the entrance examinations of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts but seems to have failed in all three of his attempts. During these years he befriended Dimitris Galanis, who portrayed Dragoumis in one of his first works in Paris, the painting by Trovadouros (1900, today at the National Gallery and the Museum of Alexandros Soutsos). In June 1903 Dragoumis went to the village of Graveson for the first time in Provence, where he spent a long period of his life painting. In August 1904 he visited Greece and his family in Kifissia.

He was again found in Greece from October 1909 until July 1910 before returning to Paris. In October 1911, while in Graveson, his mental illness developed. On 2 November he left Marseille for Piraeus. Accompanied by his brother Ion, a few days later, he entered a private clinic for the mentally ill in Naples, Italy. Dragoumis did not stay in Naples for a long time. Shortly afterwards the family moved him to Corfu and in the summer of 1913 he and Borzek visited Andros. In August 1913 he settled in Kifissia, but in May of the following year, accompanied by Ion Dragoumis, he traveled to the village of Sent, near Geneva, and entered a private psychiatric clinic.

In Greece, the first reference to the painter Dragoumi was made by Dimitris Pikionis in 1963 in an article in the Zigos magazine: \"I had met him in the spring of 1911 in Paris, in the Luxembourg gardens. Breton costume, cap and wooden footwear. [\u2026] He gave me a sketch of his sister combing her hair. The next day he would start early in the morning to go to Provence, hiking under the fiery rays of Apollo, to show the vintage, this Greek Van Gogh!\" Essentially, the Greek public first came into contact with Dragoumis' paintings through an exhibition organized by the National Bank Education Foundation in 2015 (May 7-July 18). In an unpublished text, his brother, Philippos Dragoumis, remarked: \"Nikos never wanted to sell any of the paintings because he believed that true art was sacred and non-marketable. [...] He"}, {"text": "was a follower of the principle of L'art pour l'art (= Art for art), that art is simply an expression of the artist's mental aesthetic world and nothing more. \" Since Dragoumis himself burned several of his paintings in 1911, with the onset of his mental illness, today the family archive preserves basically lightweight designs (pencil, charcoal, watercolors) on paper. These reveal his intentions and aspirations, his stylistic influences and the spirit in which his artistic creation was shaped. Dragoumis, who did not systematically study painting, was nurtured as a painter in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, at a time when Impressionism and post-Impressionist movements dominated French art, while in the Salons of the avant-garde the cubists were presented for the first time. Dragoumis was rather indifferent to Modernism and the experiments of Matisse, Braque and Picasso, focusing his attention essentially on the Nabian circle and more broadly on Symbolism. He was also greatly influenced by Van Gogh's painting, both thematically and stylistically, and secondarily by Gauguin and the Pont Aven School (Provence). He was interested in depicting the (French and, to a lesser extent, Greek) countryside [cf. the project: Cha\u00eene des Alpilles, Saint-R\u00e9my-de-Provence], the relationship between"}, {"text": "the human form and the landscape (especially the woman in the landscape), but also the lives of the people of labor (farmers, workers). In his work, of course, one does not identify the social concerns that characterized Courbet, but rather the symbolic extensions that distinguish Gauguin, Van Gogh and Les Nabis. Similar observations can also be made at the level of style: Dragoumis is not part of Impressionism but rather of post-Impressionist quests. His works are not shaken by the strong light, but are characterized by hard outlines, love of the line, tough forms [cf. the work: Marika Dragoumi, sister of the painter]. Finally, some exposures to expressionism should also be understood as loans by Van Gogh. On the other hand, Dragoumis stayed away from the problems faced by Greek visual artists in the early 20th century. It is noteworthy that even the few works he created in Greece exude a clear French aura [cf. the work: Lydia in Kokkinaras] with the possible exception of his plans from Andros (summer 1913)."}, {"text": "Dongji Island / Dongji Islet / Tungchi Island () is an island in Dongji Village (), Wangan Township, Penghu County (the Pescadores), Taiwan.

In the early 60's and 70's, banks in India were not allowed to invest in the equity markets. However, they were expected to post profits and to retain a certain ratio (threshold) of their assets in government fixed interest bonds. Mehta squeezed capital out of the banking system to address this requirement of banks and pumped this money into the share market. He promised the banks higher rates of interest, while asking them to transfer the money into his personal account, under the guise of buying securities for them from other banks. At that time, a bank had to go through a broker to buy securities and forward bonds from other banks.

Another major instrument was the bank receipt (BR). In a ready forward deal, securities were not moved back and forth in actuality. Instead, the borrower, i.e. the seller of securities, gave the buyer of the securities a BR. The BR serves as a receipt from the selling bank, and also promises that the buyer will receive the securities they have paid for at the end of the term. Having figured this out, Mehta needed banks, which could issue fake BRs, or BRs not backed by any government securities. Once these fake BRs were issued, they were passed on to other banks and the banks in turn gave money to Mehta, plainly assuming that they were lending against government securities when this was not really the case. He took the price of ACC from \u20b9200 to \u20b99,000. That was an increase of 4,400%. Since he had to book profits in the end, the day he sold was the day when the markets crashed.

Mehta used the ready forward deal and applied it to the Bank Receipts system of the Indian financial systems. This system was the most flawed system as the Janakiraman Committee restructured the entire Bank Receipts system after the 1992 scam. Mehta used forged BR's to gain unsecured loans, and used several small banks to issue BRs on demand. Since these banks were small, Mehta held on to the receipts as long as he wanted.

Union District's first post office was established in 1834, at \"Wright's Mills\", now Cottageville, with David Woodruff as postmaster.

Union, originally called \"Hushan's Mills\", was one of the five original townships of Jackson County.

As a result, Union District remains an administrative unit of Jackson County, although it is no longer one of the magisterial districts.

Grossarth-Maticek was awarded the title Professor by the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD), which he may use in Germany with the addition \"Professor for Postgraduate Studies, ECPD\". Research. From 1973 to 1995 Grossarth-Maticek directed the Heidelberg Prospective Study, a long-term study in which around 30,000 people from 18,000 Heidelberg households were examined at regular intervals over a period of more than 20 years for a variety of health-influencing variables. On extensive questionnaires, he recorded dozens of physical factors (such as cigarette smoking, exercise, organ damage, genetic disposition and nutrition) as well as psychological factors (attachment to the mother in early childhood, stressors, distress, eustress, self-regulation). He developed his own behavioral typology, into which he classified the interviewees according to the degree of their self-regulation. According to Grossarth-Maticek, this research shows the risk of illness is multiplied by an insufficient self-regulation. Physical risk factors work mainly in sum, but especially when psychological risk factors are present at the same time. In the Heidelberg Prospective Study Grossarth showed a predominantly \"multi-causal\" origin of chronic diseases. Grossarth-Maticek speaks of a \"peculiar compulsion to act without necessity in a certain way and not differently\". Such behavior arises from"}, {"text": "a consolidation of behavior patterns in the first years of life. If the \"free flow of love\" was disturbed by early childhood rejections, traumata, disappointment or other experiences, there could be disturbances of the inner and outer communication in adulthood, which, in combination with other factors synergistically, have an effect on health. Inspired by the cooperation with the psychologist Hans J\u00fcrgen Eysenck, Grossarth developed a new behavioural typology. Grossarthian behavioral typology. In the behavioral typology developed by Grossarth, six types of behavioral patterns are distinguished: Type I: Suffering in isolation: central and persistent orientation towards a longed-for but withdrawing object; inhibition in the realization of the longed-for proximity, thus inhibiting the satisfaction of this emotionally most important need. Type II: Helpless excitement: Central and persistent orientation towards a disturbing, obstructive object, without reaching the desired distancing, with recurring overexcitation and a feeling of helplessly being at the mercy of others. Type III: Ambivalence: High ambivalence and strong egocentrism. Emotional instability with interim phases of autonomous self-regulation, but also with phases of intensive search for closeness with emotional needs on the one hand and after injuries phases of hyperactive excessive distancing on the other hand. Type IV: Good self-regulation: Orientation towards"}, {"text": "current objects that enable subjective well-being, pleasure and security through which a sense of purpose can be experienced. Flexible self-regulation adapted to the situation and needs. Type V: Emphasizes rational: Rational and antiemotional behavior. When overwhelmed by emotions, psychological crises and depressive mood arise. Type VI: Irrational-emotional: Irrational, behaviour dominated by one's own feelings, without rational verification of one's own behaviour. This typology is the result of Grossarth-Maticek's investigations into and considerations for the history and frequency of chronic diseases and health. He emphasizes similarities between types I and II and sees type III as a hybrid of I and II. Of course, in one subject, characteristics of several behavior types may be present at the same time, but one of them is usually dominant in behavior. Autonomy training. Grossarth-Maticek and his collaborators, as Helm Stierlin who wrote a preamble in Grossarth's book \"Selbstregulation, Autonomie und Gesundheit\", developed an \"autonomy training\" aimed at stimulating self-regulation. In this autonomy training, a special form of cognitive behavioral therapy, the ability to achieve well-being, pleasure, security, and fulfilment of meaning through self-active problem solving is strengthened in conversation. The trainee is encouraged to perceive himself/herself and to recognize which activities increase his/her well-being."}, {"text": "Autonomy training is seen as a preventive intervention, which is suitable for achieving effective behavioural changes in a relatively short time and then incorporating them into a long-term preventive programme. . Grossarth uses the term \"autonomy\" in the sense of an inner independence from objects with negative experienced consequences, which results from self-knowledge and redesign of communication. Self-regulation includes the personal ability to create the conditions for pleasure, well-being, security and inner balance through one's own behaviour in interpersonal relationships. However, the aim of this autonomy training is \"not\" egocentric Epicureanism, which ignores fellow human beings, but an attainment of happiness in a socially accepted framework, which respects and supports both the fellow human beings and one's own person. In 2001 Grossarth-Maticek had this protected under trademark law under the term \"Autonomietraining Gesundheit und Probleml\u00f6sung durch Anregung der Selbstregulation\". The statistically average life-prolonging effect of autonomy training in cancer patients demonstrated in the Heidelberg prospective study cannot be interpreted in such a way that autonomy training is a method with which permanent healing can be achieved in any case, but the results show that the improvement of self-regulation is one of the factors that contribute to an improvement in the"}, {"text": "function of the immune system e.g. by changes in behaviour with regard to habits that are harmful to or promote health, stress reduction and increase in subjective well-being. His clinical study on mistletoe therapy in connection with improvement of self-regulation produced corresponding results. According to Grossarth-Maticek's findings, a high degree of self-regulation is also a significant factor for prevention. This was evident both in those people examined in this longitudinal study who already had good self-regulation and in those who learned it in the course of autonomy training. The database was verified by Werner W. Wittmann, who wrote the preface of Grossarth's book \"Synergetic Preventive Medicine\" (2008). Based on Grossarth-Maticek's autonomy training and the effects on salutogenesis, Dierk Petzold, a physician and lecturer for general medicine at the Hannover Medical School, developed the concept of salutogenic communication.

Jun Nagano and his team from the Institute of Health Sciences at University Ky\u016bsh\u016b carried out control studies on the correlation between the behavioral types distinguished by Grossarth and the frequency of certain diseases, as well as on the effectiveness of autonomy training.

Roderick D.

Beginning around 1984 Grossarth worked in collaboration with the London psychologist Hans Eysenck. Eysenck played no role in the initiation of Grossarth's studies, nor had much influence over the process of most of the data-gathering. Eysenck would suggest analysis of the existing data and suggested that certain variables be explored more systematically. Their joint work was published during the years 1985-2000. In an article published in 2019 in the \"Journal of Health Psychology\", Anthony J. Pelosi and David F. Marks requested a review of some these works Grossarth-Maticek had coauthored with Eysenck.

The book was noted for compiling and presenting data from throughout the authors' half-century of data collection. In 2018 the authors followed this analysis with a final book, \"Unequal and unrepresented: Political inequality and the peoples' voice in the new gilded age\", but the nearly half century-long collaboration between Schlozman, Verba, and Brady ended with Verba's death in 2019. Gender and politics. In addition to being a central scholar in the study of political participation, Schlozman was a pioneer in the study of gender and politics. One of her first works to explicitly engage with gender was an early article on campus sexual harassment; in 1991, prompted by allegations of sexual harassment against another member of her department at Boston College, Schlozman wrote an academic article investigating the sexual harassment of students by faculty members.

Her 2001 book \"The Private Roots of Public Action: Gender, Equality and Political Participation\", coauthored with Nancy Burns and Sidney Verba, adds another dimension to the three requirements for participation that Verba, Schlozman, and Brady had studied in \"Voice and Equality\": they now consider the influences on participation of citizens' private lives through mechanisms like domestic power relations and differential treatment in the workplace. They show that a small gender gap persisted in American political participation in the early 1990s even when political participation is understood quite broadly, with men performing slightly more political actions than women, but they argue that even a very small gap on an individual level can produce real differences in representation and policy outcomes in the aggregate. The book tests the hypothesis that individuals' private (and necessarily gendered) experiences affect their level of public political participation, using the theory of civic voluntarism.

Before Adelaide House was built there was no doctor in the region and people had to rely on their own experience and basic supplies in case of general illness. In cases of emergency, a doctor would be called in to the Central Telegraph Office in Adelaide and their advice would be transmitted via telegram. This, of course, lead to many preventable deaths.

She and her husband often appeared together in the premieres of the same operas, such as Rossini's \"Mo\u00efse et Pharaon\" (26 March 1827) and \"William Tell\" (3 August 1829). The couple had several children, including a son Victor (1823\u20131853) and a daughter Claire (born 19 January 1837), who was also a musician prior to her marriage to the architect on 13 June 1866.

In June of that year she had sung the role of The Spirit of France in Boieldieu's \"Pharamond\". The opera was a failure at its premiere, which was attended by the recently crowned King Charles X, and only the final tableau with Dabadie was singled out for praise. She appeared on a cloud dressed in a gold breastplate and helmet and carrying a banner emblazoned with the fleur-de-lis. She then gestured to the back curtain, which parted to reveal a receding line of illustrious French kings ending with the Arc de Triomphe and the Tuileries Palace on the far horizon. Dabadie went on to create the roles of Sina\u00efde in \"Mo\u00efse et Pharaon\" (1827), Lady Macbeth in Ch\u00e9lard's \"Macbeth\" (1827), Jemmy in \"William Tell\" (1829), Miza\u00ebl in \"La tentation\" (1832), and Arvedson in \"Gustave III\" (1833).

Other activities. From 1821 to 1830, Dabadie was also a principal singer in the Chapelle royale of Louis XVIII and later Charles X. She had been engaged by the Duc de La Ch\u00e2tre in 1821 after he heard her performance at Notre Dame Cathedral in a \"Te Deum\" marking the baptism of the Count of Chambord. In addition to her appearances at the Op\u00e9ra and the Chapelle royale, Dabadie regularly sang in the concert series held by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Concerts du Conservatoire and twice performed cantatas in the final round of the Prix de Rome composition competition. In 1827 she sang Jean-Baptiste Guiraud's version of \"La Mort d'Orph\u00e9e\", the first-prize winner.

Retirement and later life. Dabadie and her husband retired from the stage in 1835, after which they both taught singing in Paris. Writing in 1861, Fran\u00e7ois-Joseph F\u00e9tis attributed her relatively early retirement to a serious deterioration of her voice and claimed that this early vocal decline was due to the \"deplorable\" training system at the Paris Conservatory during the years she studied there. This assessment was strongly disputed by Jacques-L\u00e9opold Heugel in his obituary of Dabadie published in \"Le M\u00e9nestrel\". According to Heugel, her vocal powers were undiminished at the time of her retirement. He wrote that Dabadie had been schooled and excelled in works of the earlier classical composers such as Gluck, Sacchini, and Spontini and saw no future for herself in the newer repertoire that was coming into vogue at the Op\u00e9ra.

After graduating from the Hongik University, Yun became associated with the Dansaekhwa movement. Yun is well known for the smearing effects of burnt umber and ultramarine blue paints on raw canvas or linen, which reveals a Korean sensibility of reflection and meditation. Early life. Yun Hyong-keun was born in Cheongwon-gun (present day Cheongju), North Chungcheong Province, near the city of Daejeon in the central-western part of what is today the Republic of Korea. Even at the height of Japanese colonial rule, Yun had the chance to receive art instruction under direction of Oh Dong-myeong and Ahn Seung-gak at Cheongju Commercial School, from which he graduated in 1945. Influenced by Ahn, Yun enrolled in a short-term course at Cheongju Teachers' College to study drawing for half a year in 1946. Subsequently, in the following year, although his family was against his studying art, Yun attended the College of Fine Arts at the newly founded Seoul National University. It was at the university that Yun and Kim Whanki, who was the professor supervising the university's entrance exam, first met. From then on, Yun began his art"}, {"text": "career under the tutelage of Kim, who even became Yun's father-in-law in 1960. However, shortly after entering SNU, Yun's period of hardship began. In 1948 and 1949, he was arrested, tortured, wounded and expelled from school for joining campus-wide protests. But his most difficult times came in 1950 when the Korean War broke out. Because of his prior arrest, Yun was detained, and had been condemned to be executed by a firing squad before he miraculously escaped at the last moment. In 1956, Yun was again imprisoned for six months in Seodaemun Prison, not only for having taken part in the student movement while attending Seoul National University, but also for drawing portraits for the North Korean army while Seoul was occupied. After his release, Yun transferred to Hongik University, where Kim was leading the art department, and graduated in 1957. In the following year, he started teaching art in high schools and submitted his works to the second and third \u201cEngagement\u201d exhibitions (1962, 1963, at the Central Public Information Center, Seoul).

Only a few of his works from the 60s survive, but from their simple forms, brilliant use of colors, and subtle texture, one can clearly see Kim Whanki's influence. In the 1970s, Yun once again found himself in deep trouble. When Yun was teaching at Sookmyung Girls' High School in October 1972, he was unfairly charged with violating \"anti-communist laws\" for disclosing corruption at the school. As a result, Yun was taken to the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, and was detained in Seodaemun Prison for about a month. Even after his release, he was blacklisted until 1980, meaning that he could not find a proper job and had to be under police surveillance. Artistic Style. It was not until 1973, the year Yun was released from prison, that he began dedicating himself fully to painting. Notably, it was during this period that he began to produce works in his own distinctive style which were shown during his solo exhibitions at Myongdong Gallery(1973, 1974) and Munheon Gallery(1975, 1976), Seoul, as well as in Tokyo at Muramatsu Gallery(1976) and Tokyo Gallery(1978).

Placing a thick cotton or hemp canvas on the floor, Yun drew broad lines from top to bottom, adding his oil colors layer upon layer until the outer edges of the canvas glowed with deep near-black. In these early years, Yun explained the thesis of his paintings as \u201cthe gate of heaven and earth.\u201d To Yun, who used only two alternating colors, blue and umber, \u201cblue [was] the color of heaven, while umber [was] the color of earth.

Therefore, it is commonly said that one can sense a strong self-imposed discipline oozing out from his works. Every additional stroke and repetitive process by Yun is not really meant to be an endeavor towards a certain goal, nor to be better. It is rather a continuous routine and repetition, as in living a life. As Yun described, \u201c[his] paintings are like a diary that [he used] to record each day.\u201d The outcome of Yun\u2019s weighty brushstrokes of a trained body and mind results in a peculiar presence built out of real energy fields on the physical material surface of a canvas; invisible to the eye but present.

He also held ministerial office, most recently as Minister of War for slightly more than twelve months during 1944/45, serving under \"Presidente del Consiglio\" (\"Prime Minister...\") Bonomi. Biography. Provenance and early years. Count Alessandro Casati was born in Milan, the younger son of by his marriage to Luisa Negroni Prati Morosini (1857\u20131927). The Casatis came from the Milanese nobility: they could trace back more than eight hundred years. Family was important. In the judgment of one commentator, family ancestry influenced Count Alessandro more deeply than mere dynastic awareness. The recollections of friends along with his own letters and writings attest to a constant habit of invoking people and practices from the past to correct present disjunctures, usually without any very obvious awareness of solutions that might emerge through a process of continuity.

His upbringing was privileged and heavily influenced by the nineteenth century liberalism that in Italy had grown out of"}, {"text": "eighteenth century enlightenment ideals. He was a student at the \"Alessandro Manzoni College\" (\"Collegio Alessandro Manzoni\") in Merate. An influence from his adolescence that recurs most frequently in Casati's writings is the wily pragmatic economist-politician Stefano Jacini. But Alessandro Casati also lived through the social ructions and the neo-conservatism that grew out the rapid industrialisation during the closing decades of the nineteenth century. Through the prisms of these influences and experiences he emerged as a voice for social and political stabilisation and moderation, first through the Giolitti years, and later under Fascism. Commentator and networker. He was also, as a young man, an enthusiastic child of Modernism, both in terms of his religion and more broadly. This was apparent from his contributions to \"Il Rinnovamento\" (\"loosely \"Renewal\"\"), a short-lived Milan-based literary and cultural bi-monthly magazine which he co-founded with Tommaso Gallarati Scotti and Antonio Aiace Alfieri, and which was launched in January 1907. It was a magazine produced by and for angry youth: Scotti described Rinnovamento as \"not simply a reaction against religious conservatism ...

Casati's contributions to these publications brought him to the wider attention of Italy's intellectual class, including several literary celebrities of the day. A particular case in point was the philosopher-politician Benedetto Croce. Context for Casati's view of the world was provided by his religious belief. Croce, in contrast, had robustly and permanently rejected religion during his teenage years. Despite such fundamental difference, Casati and Croce became life-long friends: abundant evidence for their mutual respect and affection survives in their sometimes combative correspondence that runs for more than forty years. After \"Il Rinnovamento\" folded in 1909 Alessandro Casati was involved in discussions about launching a new literary-political publication, but he was never by nature a polemicist, increasingly demonstrating a certain constrained detachment with regard the surging intellectual currents of the times: such discussions \u2013 at least as far as Casati was concerned \u2013 came to nothing.

Alessandro Casati was not among those who professed themselves surprised by the outbreak of war at the end of July 1914, and he regarded Italy's military intervention in April 1915 as an inevitable if deplorable development. He participated in the fighting, ending the war with the rank of \"Tenente colonnello\" (\"Lieutenant colonel\"), having received the Bronze and Silver Medals of Military Valor (\"...medagliere di bronzo e d'argento al valor militare\"). He fought at the Battle of Asiago, led the successful attack by the 127th infantry regiment of the Florence Brigade at Monte Kobilek and was badly wounded at Bainsizza, following which he needed an operation.

There are also a number of reports, albeit not formally confirmed, that during 1917 Alessandro Casati became a close associate of his fellow Lombard, General Capello, commander of the Second Army, providing critical advice and practical support, notably in respect of using innovative propaganda techniques to sustain troop morale, both before and after the important Battle of"}, {"text": "Caporetto.

Taiwan is an island country in East Asia, while it is also located at the center of the first island chain and commands the busy traffic of Taiwan Strait and Bashi Channel. History. In 1683 the Qing dynasty's Kangxi Emperor commented on the strategic value of Taiwan, saying \"Taiwan is nothing but a tiny island. The empire earns nothing with it and loses nothing without it.\" After the Sino-French War of 1884\u20131885, the Qing dynasty started to notice the strategic importance of Taiwan. After the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894\u20131895, the Qing dynasty yielded the sovereignty of Taiwan to Japan by Treaty of Shimonoseki, which is opposed by Russian, French and German, who also have interests in taking over Taiwan island, but in vain. Taiwan has gone from a natural barrier of Qing dynasty to Japan's bridgehead of expansion after Japan acquiring Ryukyu Islands. In the scope of a larger geostrategic picture, Taiwan is also located in the rimland of the \"East Asia inner sea\", the so-called \"Asiatic Mediterranean\", which is described by Nicholas John Spykman's book, \"The Geography of the Peace"}, {"text": "(1944)\", as Formosa. Spykman provided the insight that it is the rimland that the real struggle for mastery has taken place since the great naval battle in Asia-Pacific ocean during World War II happened largely in the inner sea. Halford John Mackinder also modified his earlier Heartland Theory and published an article \"The round world and the winning of the peace\" in 1943 Foreign Affairs to emphasize the importance of rimlands and marginal seas. The Third Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1996 and the 1997 Asian financial crisis show that the safety, security and stability of Taiwan does affect the steadiness of the East Asia region. In terms of its geostrategic importance Randall Schriver called Taiwan \u201ctoday\u2019s Indo-Pacific Fulda Gap.\u201d however its importance has been questioned by other American scholars. Values.

After missing the 1980 season while on the injured reserve list, the hard-hitting Gregor started for San Diego the following three seasons, but he was sidelined by injuries each year. Early life.

The San Diego Chargers selected Gregor with their second pick of the 1980 NFL draft, choosing him in the fourth round with the 108th overall pick. The Chargers had him rated as the top strong safety and 28th best player in the draft, which was counter to the NFL trend of valuing a defender's coverage skills over their hitting ability. However, he was placed on injured reserve before the 1980 season began due to shoulder and ankle injuries. San Diego head coach Don Coryell said that Gregor hit \"so hard I don't know if [he] can last.

Looking to improve their defense and reach the Super Bowl, San Diego hired Jack Pardee in 1981 as its new assistant head coach in charge of their defense. Renowned for using a variety of coverages, he replaced defensive coordinator Jackie Simpson, whose defense was criticized for being predictable. Pardee inherited a Chargers unit that ranked 18th out of 28 teams in points allowed per game (20.4) during the regular season, and surrendered 24 or more points seven times, including the playoffs.

Under new San Diego defensive coordinator Tom Bass in 1982, Gregor moved to strong safety. Chargers secondary coach Jim Wagstaff continued to suggest to Gregor that he curb his hitting intensity to reduce his injury risk. Coryell said that his safety \"hits so hard, he maims himself. He's suicidal.\" In the season opener, Gregor and fellow safety Andre Young played a large part in forcing Denver into six turnovers.

After Gregor appeared in just 23 games in three years as a starter, the Chargers attempted to increase his availability by starting Miles McPherson in his place in 1984.

Also of note, partly on account of their cultural associations, are the caves of Eglwys Faen and Chartist Cave. The former is situated at the rear of the great embayment at the Craig y Cilau national nature reserve and the latter is high on Mynydd Llangynidr.

The area has been subject to several glacial periods, of which the last, the Devensian finished 11,700 years ago. Glacial ice is thought to have covered the majority of the park at the height of the last glaciation around 22,000 years ago though some areas remained unglaciated including the larger part of the Black Mountains. Elsewhere the highest peaks protruded above the ice as nunataks. Though terminal moraines lay largely outside of the park's boundaries, a number of recessional moraines have been identified. There are several cirque moraines which are thought to date from the Loch Lomond Stadial between 12,900 and 11,500 years ago. These include the features around Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn Cwm Llwch, both of which lakes occupy glacially excavated rock hollows or cirques.

In his early works, he criticized Korean society through allegorical objects that embody our gloomy days and circumstances in a condensed manner. And later, many of his poems mainly related to nature and human beings. Life. Kim Myung-su was born in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, in 1945. After graduating from National Railroad High School, he worked as a train inspector and observed passerby while working on the train. Gradually, he got interested in the lives of the poor, which eventually led him to study literature all by himself. Kim started to explore various literary genres, such as poetry, children's poetry, children's story, sijo, and then he published his first sijo, \"Sonagi (\uc18c\ub098\uae30 The Shower)\" in the newspaper during his military service. He moved to Germany to study German literature, but he came back to Korea in the middle of his studying due to his financial issues and physical condition. He officially debuted in 1977, by publishing three poems including \"\"\"Wolsik (\uc6d4\uc2dd Eclipse)\" in \"Seoul Shinmun.\" Since then, he has regularly published his"}, {"text": "poetry collections at an interval of four or five years, and has also won multiple literary awards. Kim's early poetry was systematically organized to reflect the grim reality of Korean society, in line with his activities as a member of a literary coterie, \"Bansi\" (Anti-poetry). Under the slogan of \"poetry is life,\" the coterie drew heavily upon contemporary issues by not using conceptional terms but utilizing simple language. Kim Myung-su kept expressing his worries for social problems and joined several organizations as a member of the executive committee, such as in the Council of Writers for Freedom and Practice and the National Movement Headquarter for Democratic Constitution. Beyond poetry, he delved into different genres and wrote essays as well as literary criticisms, and he also translated German literature into Korean. He also got into Children's book, so he vigorously wrote several Children's collections. Kim brought out over 50 volumes of books, and \"Kim Myung-su Jeonjip\" (\uae40\uba85\uc218 \uc804\uc9d1 The Complete Works of Kim Myung-su) in 10 volumes was published in 2014. Writing.

Furthermore, he enjoys writing lyrical verse that delivers compressed message along with precise language and concise lines, which constitute the major linguistic feature of his poetry: \"pure, bright, and clear.\" His poetic style makes readers intuitively grasp the meaning of objects and features in his poems, in accordance with the intention of the writer. Early works. Kim Myung-su's early works, including \"Wolsik\" (\uc6d4\uc2dd Eclipse, 1980), \"Hageupban Gyogwaseo\" (\ud558\uae09\ubc18 \uad50\uacfc\uc11c A Textbook for Students with Bad Grades, 1983), and \"Piroechimgwa Simjang\" (\ud53c\ub8b0\uce68\uacfc \uc2ec\uc7a5 The Lightning Rod and Heart, 1986), keenly criticize the dark reality by presenting one representative object. One of his major works, \"A Textbook for Students with Bad Grades,\" Kim satirizes the standardized society under political oppression and the uncritical obeisance of the general public, as depicting the \"parroting\" habits of students with bad grades. In \"Danchu (\ub2e8\ucd94 The Button, 1980)\", even a single button on the street is associated with fear from the military dictatorship. It conjures up the ringing sound at the other night, intertwined with an imagination of \"the steps of black shoes.\" The poetry shows individuals under the military dictatorship undergoing fearful events, not allowed them to overlook trivial things.

His work mainly shows sympathy for the marginalized and the awareness of the value of life.

It is similar to the stars up in the sky, as one star might be dim but the cluster of stars can illuminate the whole night sky. Throughout his work, Kim Myung-su shed light on a hidden aspect of the object as well as unexpressed details. Kim's poetry has \"power of intuition,\" because his work brings a new interpretation to readers by blurring the boundary between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Moreover, in \"Namunnip Hwaseok (\ub098\ubb47\uc78e \ud654\uc11d The Fossil Leaf, 2000)\", a protagonist imagines life a few million years ago by watching a leaf, an object that agrees with the protagonist's life, as leaves on trees normally exist from spring to fall.

Typically this coupling is complicated due to the intermittent power generation and low efficiency of renewable energy sources, but can be facilitated by developing the water electrolysers, where energy can be stored in the chemical bonds between hydrogen molecules.

When creator Bronagh O'Hanlon entered the animation industry, she wanted to produce cartoons starring more female protagonists. When initially conceptualizing the series, O'Hanlon wondered why rabbits came out of magician's hats, and created a jaded wizard-mentoring rabbit who worked with the likes of Merlin and Rasputin; after a slump in his career, he started working with his complete antithesis: a young energetic teenage girl, who he would slowly, but surely, warm up to. The show was initially pitched in 2009, alongside a currently lost pitch pilot that depicts Sadie and Gilbert's relationship and the art-style changes, but it was never picked up. Executives originally advised O'Hanlon to make the protagonist male, and that the show's target demographic, 11-year-old girls, would only be watching tween sitcoms, but O'Hanlon deduced that girls would only watch sitcoms due to the lack of animated programming targeted towards them.
