From Unknown Worlds From Unknown Worlds is an anthology of fantasy fiction short stories edited by John W. Campbell, Jr. and illustrated by Edd Cartier, the first of a number of anthologies drawing their contents from the classic magazine "Unknown" of the 1930s-40s. It was first published in magazine format by American company Street & Smith in 1948; the publication was an attempt to determine if there was a market for a revived "Unknown". Street & Smith printed 300,000 copies, against the advice of John Campbell, but although it sold better than the original, too many copies were returned for the publisher to be willing to revive the magazine. The first British edition was issued by Atlas Publishing in 1952; part of the run was issued in a hardcover binding. This edition omitted the story "One Man's Harp.".

The book was the main source available to scholars concerning mathematics as it developed in China’s tradition. Six years after the publication of Suanfa Tongzong, Cheng Dawei published another book titled "Suanfa Zuanyao" ("A Compendium of calculating Methods").

Cosmological interpretation of quantum mechanics The cosmological interpretation of quantum mechanics, proposed by Anthony Aguirre and Max Tegmark, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that applies in the context of eternal cosmological inflation, which arguably predicts an infinite three-dimensional space with infinitely many planets and infinitely many copies of any quantum system. According to this interpretation, the wavefunction for a quantum system describes not some imaginary ensemble of possibilities for what the system might be doing, but rather the actual spatial collection of identical copies of the system that exist in our infinite space. Its collapse can be avoided. Moreover, the quantum uncertainty that you experience simply reflects your inability to self-locate in space, i.e., to know which of your infinitely many copies throughout space is the one having your subjective perceptions.

Kent Stax Kent Stax is the original and current drummer of the DC hardcore punk band Scream, considered, with perhaps the exception of Minor Threat (both of these bands recorded on the now famous underground Dischord Records label), one of the most influential and successful hardcore punk band to emerge from the music movement which thrived during the 1980s. Along with brothers Franz and Peter Stahl and bassist Skeeter Thompson, Stax helped create the lightning-fast tempo that was a trademark of the punk rock genre. Considered one of the fastest and most energetic drummers in the field at that time, his talents lent themselves to keeping a thrashing powerful musical force under control, giving Scream its homegrown reputation as pioneers in the genre which transcended into some international notoriety. In the late eighties Stax left the band for personal reasons and David Grohl, a local drummer who was working with local band Dain Bramage replaced the longtime drummer. Stax played drums in a series of bands throughout the 1990s that drew influence from English punk and Oi music, most notably The Suspects (a band that had many muttering about a DC hardcore revival not seen since 1983) United 121 and Spitfires United.

1916 Republican National Convention The 1916 Republican National Convention was held in Chicago from June 7 to June 10. A major goal of the party's bosses at the convention was to heal the bitter split within the party that had occurred in the 1912 presidential campaign. In that year, Theodore Roosevelt bolted the GOP and formed his own political party, the Progressive Party, which contained most of the GOP's liberals. William Howard Taft, the incumbent president, won the nomination of the regular Republican Party. This split in the GOP ranks divided the Republican vote and led to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Although several candidates were openly competing for the 1916 nomination—most prominently conservative Senator Elihu Root of New York, Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, and liberal Senator Albert Cummins of Iowa—the party's bosses wanted a moderate who would be acceptable to all factions of the party. They turned to Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who had served on the court since 1910 and thus had the advantage of not having publicly spoken about political issues in six years. Although he had not sought the nomination, Hughes made it known that he would not turn it down; he won the nomination on the third ballot. Former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks was nominated as his running mate. Hughes was the only Supreme Court Justice to be nominated for president by a major political party. Fairbanks (as of 2016) was the last former vice president, to be nominated for vice president.

The party was founded by Saleh al-Mutlaq and Khalaf al-Ulayyan. During the Iraqi Constitution drafting negotiations in 2005, the party was advised by Sadoun al-Zubaydi, an Iraqi foreign policy expert and former personal translator to Saddam Hussein.

'Ulayan now leads the party, which is the smallest of three parties that compose the Iraqi Accord Front ("Tawafuq") coalition. The parties which compose the organisation originate from Iraq's wider Arab populated region.
