RG-35 RG-35, is a South African mine resistant ambush protected vehicle developed by Land Systems OMC, a subsidiary of BAE Systems. The RG-35 was introduced in 2009 as a 6x6 vehicle, and a 4x4 version is also under development with the designers intending to make it a new family of vehicles. Described by BAE Systems as a "new class of vehicle" combining the capabilities of a 4x4 mine protected vehicle and a 8x8 combat vehicle, the RG-35 can be utilized in a variety of roles, including command, ambulance or recovery vehicle.
Portaro PORTARO was the name of a popular Portuguese 4WD offroad utility vehicle which was based on the earlier Romanian original ARO 24 Series 4X4 model produced under license in Portugal. PORTARO 4WD models were made between 1975 until 1995. It was the second most successful Portuguese vehicle, second only to the UMM 4x4. The PORTARO name was an acronym of PORT for Portugal + ARO, the name of the main producer of the vehicle.
2011 Indian Premier League Group Stage The first match of IPL 2011 saw defending champions Chennai Super Kings start off their title defense with a home game against Kolkata Knight Riders. Chennai captain MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first. But it was Kolkata who got the start getting the wicket of Murali Vijay for 4 (4b, 1x4) in the first over. New batsman Suresh Raina then consolidated with Anirudha Srikkanth before accelerating, having some luck in the way as Yusuf Pathan dropped both batsmen, as Chennai reached a good score of 78/1 after 10 overs. Anirudha was dropped again, but next ball Raina was caught for 33 (29b, 4x4) off Pathan. MS Dhoni came to the crease, and despite having a good partnership with Anirudha who reached his half-century, Chennai were unable to up the run-rate. Jacques Kallis got Dhoni for 29 (21b, 1x4, 1x6) in the 18th over and followed it up by getting Anirudha out for 64 (55b, 6x4, 2x6) leaving Chennai 138/3 with 4 balls left before Albie Morkel's quick 15 (9b, 1x4, 1x6) got Chennai to 153/4 at the end of their 20 overs.
Dodge Warlock The Dodge Warlock, originally a concept vehicle and part of Dodge's late 1970s "adult toys" line, is a wheelbase truck that was produced in limited production in 1976 and regular production from 1977 to 1979. They were available in 4x2 and 4x4 models. The 4X4 models were named Power Wagons. The 1978 models were offered only in black. There were utiline trucks available in any color. The warlock only came in black. Its main draw was that it was a factory customizable truck, also known as a "trick truck", and was designed to appeal to young 4x4 buyers. The Warlock featured custom wheels, wide tires, bucket seats, a Utiline bed, and oak racks for the bed. Optional equipment included five-spoke wheels, bucket seats, tinted glass, bright rear bumper, and power steering. All had black interiors accented by gold tape on the dash and the doors, and a "tuff" steering wheel. Like the standard pickups, it had front disc brakes, and a standard slant six or a V-8. The exterior was accented by gold pinstriping around the wheel wells and the body lines. the pinstriping continued inside onto the doors, dashboard, and instrument panel. Warlock was printed in gold on the tailgate. The 1979 model however is different in that it has "Warlock II" printed on the tailgate. It appears that all normal engine options were available. It could have come with the standard Slant six, the 318 with either the 2 barrel or 4 barrel carburetor, the 360, the 400, or the 440. The 318 appears to be the most common engine selected.
Connect 4x4 Connect 4x4 (spoken as Connect Four by Four) is a three-dimensional-thinking strategy game first released in 2009 by Milton Bradley. The goal of the game is identical to that of its similarly named predecessor, Connect Four. Players take turns placing game pieces in the grid-like, vertically suspended playing field until one player has four of his or her color lined up horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Unlike its predecessor, Connect 4x4 uses a double grid, two different types of game pieces, and can be played by up to four people at once.
Freestyle 4x4 Vol. 2 Another 4x4 but a sequel and a "Different Rendition" to the original 4x4, the original plans were for a Freestyle 4x4 Reissue but with Collage and Denine replaced with Tolga and Noel, but instead they decided a new volume was necessary with Secret Society, Tolga, Stephanie and Meg.
Balkania (trade name) Balkania was the trade name of 'K. Zacharopoulos A.B.E.E.' a Greek industrial and trading company based in Athens that produced 4x4 jeep-type vehicles and 4x4 trucks. Since 1945, K. Zacharopoulos had been involved in vehicle repair and rebuilding. The "Balkania" company was founded in 1954 and since 1972 it imported Romanian and Indian vehicles. In 1975 it designed and introduced its own "Autotractor" model, a 4x4 multi-purpose truck with a Mercedes-Benz 3200 cc Diesel engine, metal cabin and a payload of 1500 kg . In 1979 the model was redesigned, with a modern synthetic (glass-fiber reinforced composite) cabin. It was produced, as some similar Greek vehicles, until a change of a favorable categorization for agricultural vehicles in 1984 limited its prospects (see also AutoDiana, Petropoulos). The vehicle was modestly successful, as it exhibited certain quality problems.
Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road is a magazine dedicated to 4x4 and off-road trucks and SUVs. The first issue was published in 1977; it began as a special-interest publication from the editors of Hot Rod magazine. "4-Wheel & Off-Road" covers a range of topics for the do-it-yourself light-truck enthusiast, including real-world 4x4 performance modifications, new products and product evaluations, off-road event coverage, new-vehicle evaluations, travel, and lifestyle. In March 1978, the magazine officially became a monthly publication, and in 2013, "4-Wheel & Off-Road" celebrated its 35th anniversary.
4x4 garage 4x4 garage (also 4/4, 4x4, four-to-the-floor) is an umbrella term, associated with the UK garage scene. It can refer to:
Mowag T1 4x4 The 1953 MOWAG T 1 4x4 was modular. It was built: with an open loading ramp, with radio as a closed van, etc. In order to keep manufacturing, maintenance and repair simple and inexpensive, many parts of the U.S. Dodge car maker are used, especially from the Dodge WC. The Mowag T1 exist with or without a winch. Most MOWAG T1 4x4 were built as right-hand drive vehicles. Over 1600 cars were delivered in 7 different versions to the Swiss Army. MOWAG 4x4 T 1 were also supplied as emergency vehicles to fire and police departments.
Chryseobacterium scophthalmum Chryseobacterium scophthalmum is a Gram-negative and rod-shaped bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from the gills of a turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in Scotland. "Chryseobacterium scophthalmum" produces flexirubin.
Chryseobacterium artocarpi Chryseobacterium artocarpi is a Gram-negative and non-spore-forming bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from rhizosphere soil from the tree Artocarpus integer. "Chryseobacterium artocarpi" produces flexirubin.
Chryseobacterium gallinarum Chryseobacterium gallinarum is a Gram-negative and rod-shaped bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from the pharyngeal scrape of a chicken in Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. "Chryseobacterium gallinarum" has the ability to degrade keratin.
Chryseobacterium echinoideorum Chryseobacterium echinoideorum is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from a sea urchin (Tripneustes gratilla) on the Penghu Island on Taiwan. "Chryseobacterium echinoideorum" produces flexirubin.
Chryseobacterium frigidum Chryseobacterium frigidum is a Gram-negative, aerobic and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from high Arctic tundra soil near Ny-Ålesund in Norway.
Chryseobacterium oleae Chryseobacterium oleae is a bacterium from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from the rhizosphere of the olive tree Olea europaea in Seville in Spain. "Chryseobacterium oleae" can promote the plant growth.
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium widely distributed in nature (e.g. fresh water, salt water, or soil). It may be normally present in fish and frogs; while it may be isolated from chronic infectious states, as in the sputum of Cystic Fibrosis patients. In 1959, the American bacteriologist Elizabeth O. King (who isolated "Kingella kingae" in 1960) was studying unclassified bacteria associated with pediatric meningitis at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, when she isolated an organism (CDC group IIa) that she named "Flavobacterium meningosepticum" ("Flavobacterium" means "the yellow bacillus" in Latin; "meningosepticum" likewise means "associated with meningitis and sepsis"). In 1994, it was reclassified in the genus "Chryseobacterium" and renamed "Chryseobacterium meningosepticum"("chryseos" = "golden" in Greek, so "Chryseobacterium" means a golden/yellow rod similar to "Flavobacterium"). In 2005, a 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree of Chryseobacteria showed that "C. meningosepticum" along with "C. miricola" (which was reported to have been isolated from Russian space station Mir in 2001 and placed in the genus "Chryseobacterium" in 2003) were close to each other but outside the tree of the rest of the Chryseobacteria and were then placed in a new genus "Elizabethkingia" named after the original discoverer of "F. meningosepticum".
Chryseobacterium hispalense Chryseobacterium hispalense is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from a rainwater pond in Spain. "Chryseobacterium hispalense" can promote plant growth.

Chryseobacterium indologenes Chryseobacterium indologenes is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacteria from the genus of Chryseobacterium which has been isolated from a human. "Chryseobacterium indologenes" is a pathogen of American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) and humans.
Knaster–Kuratowski fan In topology, a branch of mathematics, the Knaster–Kuratowski fan (named after Polish mathematicians Bronisław Knaster and Kazimierz Kuratowski) is a specific connected topological space with the property that the removal of a single point makes it totally disconnected. It is also known as Cantor's leaky tent or Cantor's teepee (after Georg Cantor), depending on the presence or absence of the apex.
Georg Cantor's first set theory article Georg Cantor's first set theory article was published in 1874 and contains the first theorems of transfinite set theory, which studies infinite sets and their properties. One of these theorems is "Cantor's revolutionary discovery" that the set of all real numbers is uncountably, rather than countably, infinite. This theorem is proved using Cantor's first uncountability proof, which differs from the more familiar proof using his diagonal argument. The title of the article, "On a Property of the Collection of All Real Algebraic Numbers" ("Ueber eine Eigenschaft des Inbegriffes aller reellen algebraischen Zahlen "), refers to its first theorem: the set of real algebraic numbers is countable.
Jónsson–Tarski algebra In mathematics, a Jónsson–Tarski algebra or Cantor algebra is an algebraic structure encoding a bijection from an infinite set "X" onto the product "X"×"X". They were introduced by . , named them after Georg Cantor because of Cantor's pairing function and Cantor's theorem that an infinite set "X" has the same number of elements as "X"×"X"; the term "Cantor algebra" is also occasionally used to mean the Boolean algebra of all clopen subsets of the Cantor set, or the Boolean algebra of Borel subsets of the reals modulo meager sets (sometimes called the Cohen algebra).
Cantor medal The Cantor medal of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung is named in honor of Georg Cantor, the first president of the DMV. It is awarded at most every second year during the yearly meetings of the society. The prize winners are mathematicians who are associated with the German language.
Cantor space In mathematics, a Cantor space, named for Georg Cantor, is a topological abstraction of the classical Cantor set: a topological space is a Cantor space if it is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. In set theory, the topological space 2 is called "the" Cantor space. Note that, commonly, 2 is referred to simply as the Cantor set, while the term Cantor space is reserved for the more general construction of "D" for a finite set "D" and a set "S" which might be finite, countable or possibly uncountable.
Smith–Volterra–Cantor set In mathematics, the Smith–Volterra–Cantor set (SVC), fat Cantor set, or ε-Cantor set is an example of a set of points on the real line ℝ that is nowhere dense (in particular it contains no intervals), yet has positive measure. The Smith–Volterra–Cantor set is named after the mathematicians Henry Smith, Vito Volterra and Georg Cantor. The Smith-Volterra-Cantor set is topologically equivalent to the middle-thirds Cantor set.
Tav (number) In his work on set theory, Georg Cantor denoted the collection of all cardinal numbers by the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, ת (transliterated as Taf, Tav, or Taw.) As Cantor realized, this collection could not itself have a cardinality, as this would lead to a paradox of the Burali-Forti type. Cantor instead said that it was an "inconsistent" collection which was absolutely infinite.
Cantor–Bernstein theorem In set theory and order theory, the Cantor–Bernstein theorem states that the cardinality of the second type class, the class of countable order types, equals the cardinality of the continuum. It was used by Felix Hausdorff and named by him after Georg Cantor and Felix Bernstein. Cantor constructed a family of countable order types with the cardinality of the continuum, and in his 1901 inaugural dissertation Bernstein proved that such a family can have no higher cardinality.
Schröder–Bernstein theorem In set theory, the Schröder–Bernstein theorem (named after Felix Bernstein and Ernst Schröder, also known as Cantor–Bernstein theorem, or Cantor–Schröder–Bernstein after Georg Cantor who first published it without proof) states that, if there exist injective functions "f" : "A" → "B" and "g" : "B" → "A" between the sets "A" and "B" , then there exists a bijective function "h" : "A" → "B" . In terms of the cardinality of the two sets, this means that if |"A"| ≤ |"B"| and |"B"| ≤ |"A"| , then |"A"| = |"B"| ; that is, "A" and "B" are equipollent. This is a useful feature in the ordering of cardinal numbers.
Limitation of size In the philosophy of mathematics, specifically the philosophical foundations of set theory, limitation of size is a concept developed by Philip Jourdain and/or Georg Cantor to avoid Cantor's paradox. It identifies certain "inconsistent multiplicities", in Cantor's terminology, that cannot be sets because they are "too large". In modern terminology these are called proper classes.
Saint Michael the Archangel Church (Monroe, MI) Saint Michael the Archangel Church (St. Michael Church) is located on the west side of the city of Monroe, Michigan along the River Raisin. It is home to 1,200 families and it is one of most important religious institutes in Monroe County. It was founded in the year 1852. The present building was built from 1866-1867. It is in the Archdiocese of Detroit. Its current priest is Rev. Phillip Ching. When the parish was first established, the mayor of Monroe palatial residence was remodeled as a temporary church. It was used as a church on the first floor and on the second it was used for the school. Later it would only be used as St. Michael School. Then in 1866 the cornerstone for the present church was laid. The large 187 foot steeple wasn't added until 1883. In 1874 the 3-story rectory was built east of the church. In 1918 the parish built the present building of St. Michael School which is now a part of Monroe Catholic Elementary Schools. The movement to establish the parish started in 1845 by 14 German immigrants who wanted to worship in their native language. The only nearby church was St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception right across the river where St. Michael stands today. St. Mary's only worshiped in French and wouldn't hold services in other languages like German and Irish. The German and Irish families were forced to move to the second floor of the rectory to have mass in their native languages. When the German families were able to acquire land they were eager to leave St. Mary's to start a parish of their own. They first purchased an empty lot Humphrey Street but the plan was soon abandoned. They then purchased the first mayor of Monroe's estate to build the church and it remains the current site of the church.
St. Mary's Church (Swormville, New York) St. Mary's Catholic Church is a church located on the corner of Transit (New York State Route 78) and Stahley roads in Swormville, New York, in the United States. Originally known as St. Mary’s Church of the Assumption at Transit, the building was constructed of about 260,000 bricks. John Nepomucene Neumann (later to be named St. John Neumann) started to visit Swormville, celebrating mass in local homes, barns and fields. In 1839 he instructed that a small house would be made to hold mass. Bishop John Timon established the first catholic church (St. Mary's) of the town of Clarence, New York. In 1861, Father Michael Schinabeak made plans for a church to be constructed. Construction began in 1862 and finished in fall of 1865. The official opening of the Church was in January 1866. In 2010 a new Church was constructed behind the old St. Mary's.
St. Mary's Catholic Church (Nashville, Tennessee) St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows Church (commonly St. Mary's Catholic Church and formerly the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin of the Seven) is a historic Catholic parish in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Its church at 330 5th Avenue, N. in Nashville, Tennessee, built in 1845, it is the oldest extant church in Nashville and the oldest Catholic church in what is now the Diocese of Nashville. St. Mary replaced the diocese's first church, Holy Rosary, which had been erected previously on the site today occupied by the Tennessee State Capitol.
First Council of Constantinople The First Council of Constantinople (Greek: Πρώτη σύνοδος της Κωνσταντινουπόλεως commonly known as Greek: Β΄ Οικουμενική , "Second Ecumenical"; Latin: "Concilium Constantinopolitanum Primum" or Latin: "Concilium Constantinopolitanum A" ) was a council of Christian bishops convened in Constantinople in AD 381 by the Roman Emperor Theodosius I. This second ecumenical council, an effort to attain consensus in the church through an assembly representing all of Christendom, confirmed the Nicene Creed, expanding the doctrine thereof to produce the Niceno–Constantinopolitan Creed, and dealt with sundry other matters. It met from May to July 381 in the Church of Hagia Irene and was affirmed as ecumenical in 451 at the Council of Chalcedon.
Hagia Irene Hagia Irene or Hagia Eirene (Ancient Greek: Ἁγία Εἰρήνη , Byzantine ] , "Holy Peace", Turkish: "Aya İrini" ), sometimes known also as Saint Irene, is a Greek Eastern Orthodox church located in the outer courtyard of Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. It is one of the few churches in Istanbul that has not been converted into a mosque. The Hagia Irene today operates as a museum and concert hall.
St Mary de Lode Church, Gloucester St Mary de Lode Church, Archdeacon Street, Gloucester GL1 2QT, is a Church of England church immediately outside the grounds of Gloucester Cathedral. It is believed by some to be on the site of the first Christian church in Britain. The church is in the Diocese of Gloucester and Grade I listed by English Heritage. It has also been known as "St. Mary Before the Gate of St. Peter", "St. Mary Broad Gate" and "St. Mary De Port".
St. Mary's Episcopal Church (Washington, D.C.) St. Mary's Episcopal Church, also known as St. Mary's, Foggy Bottom or St. Mary's Chapel, is a historic Episcopal church located at 730 23rd Street, N.W. in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C.. On April 2, 1973, St. Mary's Episcopal Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Old Church of St George, Hill Street Dublin The Old Church of St. George, commonly called "Little George's" in Hill Street (formerly Temple Street Lower) Parish of St. Mary, Dublin was built in 1668 by the Eccles family for their workmen and also as a chapel-of-ease to the nearby St. Mary's Church. However, that St. Mary's Church was not St. Mary's Church, Dublin as its foundation stone was laid in 1700, and it was not St. Mary's Abbey, Dublin as it was dissolved in 1539. Therefore St George's church, Hill Street, may have been a Chapel-of-Ease to St. Michan's Church in Church Street. The main body of the church, with the exception of the tower, was demolished in 1894.
St. Mary's Church and Rectory (Iowa City, Iowa) St. Mary's Catholic Church, also known as St. Mary of the Visitation Church, is a parish church of the Diocese of Davenport which is located at 228 E. Jefferson St. in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. The church building and rectory are listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. They were both included as contributing properties in the Jefferson Street Historic District in 2004. The parish's first rectory, which is now a private home, is also listed on the National Register as St. Mary's Rectory. It is located a few blocks to the east of the present church location at 610 E. Jefferson St.
St. Mary's Church (Ballston Spa, New York) St. Mary's Church is a Catholic parish located in Ballston Spa, New York. It is located within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany. Father Thomas J. Kelly is the current pastor. St. Mary's is the fourth oldest parish in the Diocese. St. Mary's of Ballston Spa is partnered with St. Mary's of Galway, after the pastor at St. Mary's of Galway died and no replacement was available.

1996 Minnesota Twins season Prior to the spring training, the 1996 Minnesota Twins were projected to be a contending team. The team's chances significantly worsened on March 28, 1996. Kirby Puckett, the team's franchise player, had been tattooing the Grapefruit League (spring training) for a .360 average, but that morning woke up without vision in his right eye. He was eventually diagnosed with glaucoma. Several surgeries over the next few months could not restore vision in the eye. Puckett announced his retirement from baseball on July 12. After beginning the season under the melancholy cloud of the Puckett situation, Manager Tom Kelly's team finished the year with a 78-84 record, which put it in fourth place in the American League Central Division.

Heterophoria Heterophoria is an eye condition in which the directions that the eyes are pointing at rest position, when "not" performing binocular fusion, are not the same as each other, or, "not straight". There can be esophoria, where the eyes tend to cross inward in the absence of fusion; exophoria, in which they diverge; or hyperphoria, in which one eye points up or down relative to the other. Phorias are known as 'latent squint' because the tendency of the eyes to deviate is kept latent by fusion. A person with two normal eyes has single vision (usually) because of the combined use of the sensory and motor systems. The motor system acts to point both eyes at the target of interest; any offset is detected visually (and the motor system corrects it). Heterophoria only occurs during dissociation of the left eye and right eye, when fusion of the eyes is absent. If you cover one eye (e.g. with your hand) you remove the sensory information about the eye's position in the orbit. Without this, there is no stimulus to binocular fusion, and the eye will move to a position of "rest". The difference between this position, and where it would be were the eye uncovered, is the heterophoria. The opposite of heterophoria, where the eyes are straight when relaxed and not fusing, is called orthophoria.

Non-possession Non-possession is a philosophy that holds that no one or anything possesses anything. It is one of the principles of Satyagraha, a philosophical system based on various religious and philosophical traditions originating in India and Asia Minor, and put into practice by Mahatma Gandhi as part of his nonviolent resistance. This particular iteration of aparigraha is distinct because it is a component of Gandhi's active non-violent resistance to social problems permeating India. As such, its conception is tempered with western law. Non-possession is, by definition, concerned with defining the concept of possession.
William Desmond (philosopher) William Desmond is an Irish philosopher who has written on ontology, metaphysics, ethics, and religion. Former president of the Hegel Society of America and the Metaphysical Society of America, Desmond is professor of philosophy at the Higher Institute of Philosophy at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, and also at Villanova University in Pennsylvania. He is a past president of the American Catholic Philosophical Association. In his trilogy, "Being and The Between", "Ethics and The Between", and "God and The Between", Desmond works out an entirely new and complete metaphysical/ontological philosophical system based on what he calls the potencies of being and the senses of being. His most original contribution in his metaphysics is the notion of the "metaxological", which will be explained below. Desmond's program consists mainly in exploring the senses in which modernity has devalued being and what "to be" and "the good" might mean.
Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion (LPR; German: "Vorlesungen über die Philosophie der Religion" , VPR) outlines his ideas on Christianity as a form of self-consciousness. They represent the final and in some ways the decisive element of his philosophical system. In light of his distinctive philosophical approach, using a method that is dialectical and historical, Hegel offers a radical reinterpretation of the meaning of Christianity and its characteristic doctrines. The approach taken in these lectures is to some extent prefigured in Hegel's first published book, "The Phenomenology of Spirit" (1807).
Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences The Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences (abbreviated as EPS or simply Encyclopaedia; German: "Enzyklopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse" , EPW, translated as Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline) by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (first published in 1817, second edition 1827, third edition 1830), is a work that presents an abbreviated version of Hegel's systematic philosophy in its entirety, and is the only form in which Hegel ever published his entire mature philosophical system. The fact that the account is exhaustive, that the grounding structures of reality are ideal, and that the system is closed makes the "Encyclopedia" a statement par excellence of absolute idealism.
The Fountainhead The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Russian-American author Ayn Rand, her first major literary success.
