vital that the flight suit fits correctly and the wearer will spend two hours sitting in a launch couch with the suit inflated to make sure of this. Straps on the arms, legs and chest allow the fit to be adjusted slightly.
To don the suit, the two zips that make a 'V' on the chest are opened. Underneath, there is a large tubular opening in the inner pressure layer known as the "appendix". Legs go in first, followed by the arms into the sleeves and head into the helmet. When the suit is on, an airtight seal is made by tightly rolling up the appendix and securing it with strong elastic bands. The large bulge of the rolled-up appendix is secured under the V shaped flap in the suit's outer layer. | 6,136,000 |

When worn on the ground, the suit is attached to a portable ventilation unit —a hand-held device that supplies air to the suit, cooling it first with an ice filled heat exchanger. Grey leather outer boots are also worn on the ground; they protect the feet of the suit from damage and are removed before entering the spacecraft to avoid carrying debris into the cabin.
The suit is worn during launch and re-entry of the Soyuz spacecraft—the gloves are attached and the visor is sealed at these times. In an emergency, the suit pressure is usually maintained at 400 hPa (0.39 atm, 5.8 psi) above the ambient by the pressure relief valve. However, the suits only have a rudimentary pressure relief layer | 6,136,001 |
2568333 | Sokol space suit | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sokol%20space%20suit | Sokol space suit
so they tend to balloon when inflated. Movement of the wearer becomes restricted, although it is still possible to function inside the capsule.
If more than limited movement is required, the pressure relief valve may be adjusted to a lower setting of 270 hPa (0.26 atm, 3.9 psi). Pure oxygen at this pressure will support life, but the setting is only intended for use in extreme emergencies; the risk of decompression sickness becomes significant if the wearer spends more than 15 minutes at the lower pressure setting.
The maximum length of time the suits may be used in a vacuum is 125 minutes. The time is limited because the oxygen flow to the suit is enough for life support, but insufficient | 6,136,002 |
2568333 | Sokol space suit | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sokol%20space%20suit | Sokol space suit
to carry away the cosmonaut's body heat and longer use of the suit risks Heat exhaustion. If the capsule becomes depressurised, either accidentally or deliberately to extinguish a fire, it must land within that time.
# History.
Pressure suits were worn on the Vostok space missions, but when the Soyuz spacecraft was being developed in the mid-1960s, the controversial decision was taken by its designers, OKB-1, not to use them on the new spacecraft. Some of the early Soyuz flights carried Yastreb space suits but these were only for space walks and were only worn in orbit.
On June 30, 1971, the crew of Soyuz 11 died when their spacecraft depressurised during re-entry. One of the recommendations | 6,136,003 |
2568333 | Sokol space suit | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sokol%20space%20suit | Sokol space suit
of the investigating government commission was that pressure suits should be worn by future crews during critical phases of their mission - launch, docking and landing.
NPP Zvezda was given the task of providing the suits. They rejected the use of existing Soviet space suits and chose to base a new suit on the existing Sokol aviation pressure suit. The main modification was the replacement of the Sokol suit's hard helmet. Other features of the aviation suit that were considered unnecessary were removed to save weight.
At the same time, a life support system was developed in co-operation with OKB-1. The new suit was named the Sokol-K, K (Kosmos) is the abbreviation of the Russian word for space.

## Sokol-KR.
A version intended for use with the TKS spacecraft which was to be used as part of the Almaz programme. The suit was never used as the TKS never flew with a crew. Its main difference was that it was designed to work with a regenerative life support system.
## Sokol-KM and Sokol-KV.

2568333 | Sokol space suit | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sokol%20space%20suit | Sokol space suit
the Sokol-K began 1973, immediately after its introduction. The Sokol-KM and KV were intermediate models on which many of the features of the Sokol-KV2 were developed, neither was ever used in space.
To be donned, the Sokol-KM and KV split into upper and lower halves joined by zip fasteners. However, this feature was discarded in the Sokol-KV2 and the appendix was retained as a means of donning the suit it was thought to be more reliable than the airtight zippers the Russians were able to make. Other changes included alterations to the fabric around the joints, to improve mobility, and improvement of the gloves, to make it easier to operate the spacecraft controls.
The KM and KV also featured | 6,136,006 |

## Sokol-KV2.
The Sokol-KV2, the current version of the suit, was first used on the Soyuz T-2 mission, launched on June 5, 1980.
The main improvement was the replacement of the rubber pressure layer of the Sokol-K with rubberised polycaprolactam to save weight. The visor was modified and enlarged to give the wearer a better field of view. Laces in the | 6,136,007 |

# Foreign use.
The Chinese have bought a number of space suits from the Russians for use in their space programme. The suit worn | 6,136,008 |
2568333 | Sokol space suit | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sokol%20space%20suit | Sokol space suit
by Yang Liwei on "Shenzhou 5", the first manned Chinese space flight, closely resembles a Sokol-KV2 suit, but it is believed to be a Chinese-made version rather than an actual Russian suit. Pictures show that the suits worn by Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng on "Shenzhou 6" differ in detail from the earlier suit; they are also reported to be lighter.
Sokol suits have been bought for uses other than spaceflight. It was planned that the crew of the British QinetiQ 1 high-altitude balloon would wear modified Sokol suits purchased from Zvezda. As the balloonists would have occupied an open platform during their twelve-hour flight, the Sokol suits, together with heavily insulated outer garments, would | 6,136,009 |
2568333 | Sokol space suit | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sokol%20space%20suit | Sokol space suit
have protected them from the cold and low pressure of the stratosphere as the balloon ascended to a height of around 40 km (25 miles, 132,000 feet).
Bulgaria developed its own version of the space suit in the mid-1970s.
# U.S. equivalent.
During the flight of Gemini 7, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell wore modified Gemini spacesuits that somewhat resemble the Sokol suits, but with significant differences. Their suits were known as the G5C by their manufacturer, the David Clark Company.
# Collectors' market.
Sokol space suits, including ones flown in space, were first sold by Sotheby's at an auction devoted to Russian space history in 1993. Subsequently, components such as gloves, communications | 6,136,010 |
2568333 | Sokol space suit | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sokol%20space%20suit | Sokol space suit
caps, and wrist mirrors have frequently come up for sale on eBay; even complete suits have occasionally come up for sale, such as the one that Heritage Auctions sold for US$31,070 in 2009. These are usually worn out items that have been discarded after use during ground training and were never intended for use in space. As these items are nominally the property of the Russian government, the legitimacy of their sale has been questioned.

The City of Falling Angels
The City of Falling Angels (2005) is a non-fiction work by John Berendt. The book tells the story of some interesting inhabitants of Venice, Italy, whom the author met while living there in the months following a fire which destroyed the historic La Fenice opera house in 1996.
# Synopsis.
The book explores local reactions to the fire, from the American "Save Venice" Foundation to Venice's bureaucratic government The opera house burned again while the second renovation was ongoing.
Among those interviewed is Archimede Seguso, a renowned Venetian glassblower of the twentieth century. Seguso lived directly behind La Fenice and witnessed the fire. Soon afterwards he | 6,136,013 |

created glassworks dedicated to the memory of the fire, in his own rendition of how the opera house burned.
The book also tells the story of many American and English expatriates who went to live in Venice, from Daniel Curtis, who owned Palazzo Barbaro where Henry James and John Singer Sargent were guests, to the poet Ezra Pound, who lived the last part of his life in Venice with his long-time mistress Olga Rudge.

2568388 | Apagón | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apagón | Apagón
Apagón
Apagón (in Spanish, literally, "blackout") is a form of protest that was employed several times in some large cities of Argentina, during the economic crisis at the beginning of the 2000s. The justification for a blackout as a form of protest was a rejection of the proposed increase of fees of electricity and other basic services.
# Argentina.
During the 1990s, under the Menem administration, the Convertibility Law guaranteed a fixed exchange rate of 1 U. S. dollar per Argentine peso, and the private companies that supplied electric power, telephone service, natural gas and drinking water, among others, earned consistently high profits, which could be turned into dollars and sent abroad | 6,136,016 |
2568388 | Apagón | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apagón | Apagón
with no loss. A number of these service providers had also secured dollarized fees, contracts that entitled them to ask for increases in their fees subject to the inflation of the United States, and other provisions of the kind.
After the uncontrolled devaluation of the peso in 2002, the profit measured in dollars was diminished proportionally, and their local operating costs in pesos skyrocketed. The service companies asked the national government of Argentina to authorize considerable fee increases (in some cases over 100%). The Duhalde administration rejected the possibility for a while, but finally called for consultation meetings to discuss the matter.
The public reacted angrily to this, | 6,136,017 |
2568388 | Apagón | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apagón | Apagón
accusing the private companies of being greedy and oblivious to the dangerously unstable social environment: half of the population was under the poverty line, unemployment was over 20%, and inflation continued rising. On September 19, 2002, political activists and organizations (Elisa Carrió's "ARI", other left-wing parties, piqueteros, the "Central de Trabajadores Argentinos", neighbourhood assemblies, etc.) gathered in Plaza de Mayo and called for a widespread intentional "blackout".
On September 24, between 8 and 8.15 p.m., in Buenos Aires and some other large cities, people turned off the lights in their houses and apartments. Many businesses closed their doors and also diminished the | 6,136,018 |
2568388 | Apagón | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apagón | Apagón
lights. In the streets, drivers honked their horns, and there were isolated cacerolazos. The Legislative building of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires turned off the illumination of its facade.
The actual strength of the blackout was relatively minor, and even then it was mostly concentrated in Buenos Aires, but the combination of the protests was marked by the media. The government postponed the renegotiation of public service fees indefinitely.
# Spain.
In Spain, since November 2011 there is also a campaign named "A-pagón: No pagues centrales nucleares y de carbón" (A-pagón: Don't pay for nuclear and coal-fired power stations) related to the avoiding of the augmentative term "pagón" which | 6,136,019 |
2568388 | Apagón | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apagón | Apagón
entrales nucleares y de carbón" (A-pagón: Don't pay for nuclear and coal-fired power stations) related to the avoiding of the augmentative term "pagón" which could be translated as "big payer". The campaign's idea is "Don't pay for electricity until it is produced by 100%-renewable-and-clean methods".
The activists of this campaign argue that "If you don't pay electricity until it would be clean, all the electricity company can do is to disconnect you for a minute, which is the time you need to reconnect it", and also states that "You must maintain always the meter count: in this way the dirty company knows the money it has not incoming, due to using dirty means to produce the electricity". | 6,136,020 |
2568359 | Melechesh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melechesh | Melechesh
Melechesh
Melechesh is an ethnically Assyrian and Aramaic black metal and Mizrahi metal band that originated in Jerusalem, Israel and is currently based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Ashmedi started the band as a solo project in 1993. In the following year, guitarist Moloch and drummer Lord Curse were added to the line-up. The band's goal was to create a type of black metal incorporating extensive Middle Eastern influences mainly based on Assyrian (Mesopotamian) and occult themes (both musically and lyrically); the band invented the title "Mesopotamian metal" or "Sumerian Black Thrashing Metal" to best describe their type of metal. They are sometimes referred to as oriental metal.
# Name etymology | 6,136,021 |
2568359 | Melechesh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melechesh | Melechesh
and pronunciation.
The name "Melechesh" consists of two words of Hebrew and Aramaic origins: "melech" (meaning "king"; מֶלֶךְ, ܡܲܠܟܵܐ) and "esh" (meaning "fire"; אֵשׁ); hence, "king of fire" or "fiery king". The portmanteau was originated by the band.
The digraph "ch" is pronounced similarly to the Scottish "ch", as in the word "", or the Greek letter "Χ". The Modern Hebrew realization of it is the voiceless uvular fricative (/χ/). See Modern Hebrew phonology and Aramaic phonology. In English, an accepted and common pronunciation is "me-lek-ESH" ().
# Geographical origins.
The band started their career in Jerusalem (and Bethlehem), where most Israeli Assyrians and many Israeli Armenians | 6,136,022 |
2568359 | Melechesh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melechesh | Melechesh
live today, and operated from there between 1993–1998; however, they have resided mainly in Amsterdam since 1998 for several personal, professional and demographic reasons.
# History.
The band's release in 1995 of the official demo "As Jerusalem Burns..." and 7" EP "The Siege of Lachish" attracted attention from both underground metal fans and local authorities. Melechesh were accused of "Dark Cult activities" by the law enforcement authorities of the city of Jerusalem, especially by a frontpage newspaper article which twisted some facts. The charges were eventually dropped.
In 1996, The band released their debut album "As Jerusalem Burns...Al'Intisar" on an American black metal record label; | 6,136,023 |
2568359 | Melechesh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melechesh | Melechesh
then newly recruited bassist Al'Hazred completed the line-up. This marked the band as the first signed non-Israeli band from the Middle East and also the first international signed metal band from Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
Due to various personal, professional, and demographic reasons, the band members had to relocate. In 1998, armed with a new promo CD "Mesopotamian Metal" and after a farewell gig in Jerusalem, Israel, Melechesh relocated to France and the Netherlands. Lord Curse remained in Jerusalem and later moved to the USA to continue with his Art studies (and now works for George Lucas' ILM company), hence, the band had to recruit a new drummer. Absu mainman and drummer Proscriptor soon | 6,136,024 |
2568359 | Melechesh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melechesh | Melechesh
filled the vacant position. From that point on, Melechesh have released two full-length albums: "Djinn" (2001), dealing with Mesopotamian mythology, and "Sphynx" (2003), dealing with Mesopotamian/Sumerian mythology while always keeping the dark and Near Eastern occult themes close to their hearts. The band recorded their fourth and highly acclaimed album "Emissaries" which is available in Europe (Osmose Productions) and by The End Records in the United States and Canada . Meanwhile, Xul has replaced Proscriptor as the band's full-time drummer. A documentary was begun filming the founder, about his plight to create the band. Despite the first director leaving the film after losing all footage | 6,136,025 |
2568359 | Melechesh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melechesh | Melechesh
he did in Jerusalem another director took over and the project is still on track. Ashmedi's biographical articles can be found on several reputable websites and printed magazines around the world, such as the magazines Decibel and Legacy. Meanwhile, since the release of the highly acclaimed "The Epigenesis", Melechesh have been continuously touring around the world to further promote the album.
On 13 August 2013, Melechesh announced via their Facebook page that both Moloch and Ashmedi amicabliy decided that the former should leave the band, due to academic commitments. It was also revealed that drummer Xul was dismissed in July on good terms. Sirius has been drafted, after one gig the collaboration | 6,136,026 |
2568359 | Melechesh | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melechesh | Melechesh
ended and the position is open for a guitar player. A new drummer will be announced in the future. It is also understood that Scorpios' position in the band is that of a full-time member.

Black Pullet
The Black Pullet (original French: La poule noire) also known in French as “la poule aux œufs d’or” (the hen that lays golden eggs) is a grimoire that proposes to teach the "science of magical talismans and rings", including the art of necromancy and Kabbalah. It is believed to have been written in the 18th century by an anonymous French officer who served in Napoleon's army. The text takes the form of a narrative centering on the French officer during the Egyptian expedition led by Napoleon (referred to here as the "genius") when his unit is suddenly attacked by Arab soldiers (Bedouins). The French officer manages to escape the attack, but is the only survivor. An old Turkish man | 6,136,030 |
2568412 | Black Pullet | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black%20Pullet | Black Pullet
appears suddenly from the pyramids and takes the French officer into a secret apartment within one of the pyramids. He nurses him back to health whilst sharing with him the magical teachings from ancient manuscripts that escaped the "burning of Ptolemy's library".
The book itself contains information regarding the creation of certain magical properties, such as talismanic rings, amulets and the Black Pullet itself. The book also teaches the reader how to master the extraordinary powers from these magical properties. Perhaps the most interesting magical property claimed in the book is the power to produce the Black Pullet, otherwise known as the Hen that lays Golden Eggs. The grimoire claims | 6,136,031 |
2568412 | Black Pullet | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Black%20Pullet | Black Pullet
that the person who understands and attains the power to instruct the Black Pullet will gain unlimited wealth. The notion of such a lucrative possession has been reflected throughout history in fables, fairy tales and folklore.
This text has often been associated to two other texts, known as the "Red Dragon" (or "The Grand Grimoire") and the "Black Screech Owl". The latter is also confusingly known as "The Black Pullet" or "Treasure of the Old Man of the Pyramids", and is in fact an alternate printing of the original "Black Pullet" with only slight changes. All three grimoires claim to possess the science of ancient magic.

Di'haii Gwich'in (translation: "Gwich'in living the farthest away" or "those living farthest downstream") are a small Gwichʼin tribe of the Athabaskan linguistic stock. Descendants intermarried with the Neets'aii Gwich'in in Arctic Village, Alaska, USA. Historically they occupied the north fork of the Chandalar River, and the Middle and South Forks of the Koyukuk River.

Antietam National Battlefield
Antietam National Battlefield is a National Park Service protected area along Antietam Creek in Sharpsburg, Washington County, northwestern Maryland. It commemorates the American Civil War Battle of Antietam that occurred on September 17, 1862.
The area, situated on fields among the Appalachian foothills near the Potomac River, features the battlefield site and visitor center, a national military cemetery, stone arch Burnside's Bridge and a field hospital museum.
# Features.
In the Battle of Antietam, General Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North ended on this battlefield in 1862.
Established as Antietam National Battlefield Site August 30, 1890, the park | 6,136,037 |
2568362 | Antietam National Battlefield | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antietam%20National%20Battlefield | Antietam National Battlefield
was transferred from the War Department August 10, 1933, and redesignated November 10, 1978. Along with all historic areas administered by the National Park Service, the battlefield was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. Additional documentation on the site was recorded by the National Park Service on February 27, 2009.
## Cemetery.
Antietam National Cemetery, which adjoins the park, covers and contains more than 4,976 interments (1,836 unidentified). The cemetery was commissioned in 1865, and interments begun in 1867 after an arduous process of identifying the dead, which was only successful in about 40% of cases. Civil War era burials in this cemetery | 6,136,038 |
2568362 | Antietam National Battlefield | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antietam%20National%20Battlefield | Antietam National Battlefield
consist of only Union soldiers; Confederate dead were interred in the Washington Confederate Cemetery in Hagerstown, Maryland; Mt. Olivet Cemetery, in Frederick, Maryland; and Elmwood Cemetery in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The cemetery also contains the graves of veterans and their wives from the Spanish–American War, both World Wars, and the Korean War. The cemetery was closed to additional interments in 1953. Two exceptions have been made, the first in 1978 for Congressman Goodloe Byron and the second in 2000 for the remains of USN Fireman Patrick Howard Roy who was killed in the attack on the USS "Cole". The cemetery was placed under the War Department on July 14, 1870; it was transferred | 6,136,039 |
2568362 | Antietam National Battlefield | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antietam%20National%20Battlefield | Antietam National Battlefield
to the National Park Service on August 10, 1933. The gatehouse at the cemetery's entrance was the first building designed by Paul J. Pelz, later architect of the Library of Congress.
## Visitor Center.
The Antietam National Battlefield Visitor Center contains museum exhibits about the battle and the Civil War. The Visitor Center was constructed in 1962 as part of the Mission 66 plan. A 26-minute orientation film narrated by James Earl Jones is shown on the hour and the half-hour. The visitor center is open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. except on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Park rangers offer interpretive talks. An audio tour is available for purchase to accompany | 6,136,040 |
2568362 | Antietam National Battlefield | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antietam%20National%20Battlefield | Antietam National Battlefield
the self-guided driving tour of the battlefield with eleven stops. Park Grounds are open daylight hours. There is a park entrance fee of $7.00 per person (age 17 or older; 16 and under FREE) or $10.00 per vehicle. The entrance fee is valid for three days.
## Pry House Field Hospital Museum.
The Pry House Field Hospital Museum is located in the house that served as Union Commander General George B. McClellan's headquarters during the battle. Exhibits focus on period medical care of the wounded, as well as information about the Pry House. The museum is sponsored by the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
# Additional battlefield preservation.
The Civil War Trust (a division of the American | 6,136,041 |
2568362 | Antietam National Battlefield | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antietam%20National%20Battlefield | Antietam National Battlefield
Battlefield Trust) and its federal, state and local partners, including the Save Historic Antietam Foundation, have acquired and preserved of the overall battlefield, including the "epicenter" tract, a 44.4-acre, previously privately owned parcel in the heart of the battlefield park between the Cornfield and the Dunker Church. The land, also known as the Wilson farm, was purchased by the Trust in 2015 for about $1 million. The preservation organization has since removed the postwar house and barn that stood on the property along Hagerstown Pike and returned the land to its wartime appearance.
# Battle of Antietam.
## Morning phase.
The Battle began at dawn on September 17, 1862, when Maj. | 6,136,042 |
2568362 | Antietam National Battlefield | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antietam%20National%20Battlefield | Antietam National Battlefield
Gen. Joseph Hooker began the Union artillery bombardment of the Confederate positions of Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson in the Miller cornfield. Hooker's troops advanced behind the falling shells and drove the Confederates from their positions. Around 7 a.m. Jackson reinforced his troops and pushed the Union troops back. Union Maj. Gen. Joseph K. Mansfield sent his men into the fray and regained some of the ground lost to the Confederates.
## Midday phase.
As the fighting in the cornfield was coming to a close, Maj. Gen. William H. French was moving his Federals forward to support Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick and veered into Confederate Maj. Gen. D.H. Hill's troops posted in the "Sunken | 6,136,043 |
2568362 | Antietam National Battlefield | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antietam%20National%20Battlefield | Antietam National Battlefield
Road". Fierce fighting continued here for four hours before the Union troops finally took the road.
## Afternoon phase.
On the southeast side of town, Union Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside's XI Corps had been trying to cross Antietam Creek since mid-morning, being held up by only 500 Georgia sharpshooters. Around 1 p.m., they finally crossed Burnside's Bridge and took the heights. After a 2-hour lull to reform the Union lines, they advanced up the hill, driving the Confederates back towards Sharpsburg. But for the timely arrival of Maj. Gen. A.P. Hill's division from Harpers Ferry, Burnside would have entered Sharpsburg. Instead, the Union troops were driven back to the heights above the bridge.

Conclusion.
The battle was over with the Union sitting on three sides, waiting for the next day. During the night of the 18th, General Lee pulled his troops back across the Potomac River, leaving the battle and the town to General McClellan. It was the bloodiest day in United States history, with a combined tally of 22,717 dead, wounded, or missing. Among the lost was a young man named Klien Cook, aged only 16. He lived his short life in southern Mississippi until he was 15 when he joined the Confederates. Not only adults, but many young men just like him were lost.

Metropolitan Police District
The Metropolitan Police District (MPD) is the police area which is policed by the Metropolitan Police Service in London. It currently consists of the Greater London region, excluding the City of London. The Metropolitan Police District was created by the Metropolitan Police Act 1829 as an ad hoc area of administration because the built-up area of London spread at the time into many parishes and counties without an established boundary. The district expanded as the built up area grew and stretched some distance into rural land. When county police were set up in England the forces of Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey did not include those parts of the counties | 6,136,049 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
within the MPD and Middlesex did not have a county force. Similarly, boroughs in the MPD that elsewhere would have been entitled to their own police force did not have them.
The MPD was originally defined in reference to civil parishes and in 1946 was altered to correspond to local government districts. The MPD has been used for other purposes during its existence, such as the boundary for coal tax and as a 'Greater London' statistical unit. When the ceremonial county of Greater London was officially created in 1965, the MPD was expanded and some areas that did not become part of Greater London continued to be within it. In 2000 the outer boundary of the MPD was retracted to coincide with the | 6,136,050 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
County of Greater London and the neighbouring county forces then became responsible for those areas outside Greater London. The MPD now consists of the 32 boroughs of the County of Greater London (including the City of Westminster), while the Greater London region's 33rd (and by far smallest) district, the City of London, is served by the City of London Police.
# History.
## Creation.
The Metropolitan Police District was defined in the schedule of the Metropolitan Police Act 1829 as an approximately circular area within a seven-mile (11-kilometre) radius of Charing Cross, which was divided into four districts and 17 police divisions.
It consisted of parts of:
## 1840 revision.
There have | 6,136,051 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
been numerous changes to the boundaries of the MPD, and of the divisions therein. The Metropolitan Police Act 1839 recognised that the "boundary is... very irregular" and made it lawful to add any place in the Central Criminal Court District and also "any part of any parish, township, precinct or place" not more than 15 miles (24 km) from Charing Cross. The enlarged district encompassed the metropolitan area and some parts of Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire and Surrey. The 1911 "Encyclopædia Britannica" notes that it included "those civil parishes [...] of which any part is within twelve miles (19 km) of, or of which no part is more than fifteen miles (24 km) from, Charing Cross".
The enlargement | 6,136,052 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
under the 1839 Act was carried out by Order in Council issued on 3 January 1840, which listed the following "parishes, townships, precincts, and places" ... "should be added to, and form part of, the metropolitan police district":
## 1946 revision.
In 1946 the Metropolitan Police District was somewhat redrawn by the Police Act 1946, to match the then local government boundaries. The boroughs of Dartford and Watford, the urban district of Caterham and Warlingham and the parish of St. Peter Rural were wholly excluded from the District; whilst the borough of Epsom and Ewell, the urban districts of Banstead, Cheshunt, Coulsdon and Purley, Crayford, Esher and Orpington were brought wholly within | 6,136,053 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
the district. The definition, in the Fourth Schedule is as follows:
## 1965 revision.
In 1965 the administrative boundaries of London were extended. After 1965 the newly created Greater London more closely matched the MPD, and the MPD was defined again by section 76 of the London Government Act 1963. The former area of the Municipal Borough of Romford and Hornchurch Urban District, which had not previously been covered by the MPD but were now in Greater London, were added. The revised MPD included some areas that did not become part of Greater London.
In 1974 it was again restated as:
- Greater London, excluding the City of London and the Temples
- Essex: Epping Forest : former Chigwell | 6,136,054 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
Urban District and parish of Waltham Holy Cross
- Hertfordshire: Broxbourne : former Cheshunt Urban District
- Hertfordshire: Hertsmere
- Hertfordshire: Welwyn Hatfield: parish of Northaw (renamed Northaw and Cuffley in 1982)
- Surrey: Elmbridge: former Esher Urban District
- Surrey: Epsom and Ewell
- Surrey: Spelthorne
- Surrey: Reigate and Banstead: former Banstead Urban District
## 1990s revision.
Following the first periodic review of Greater London and the London boroughs by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, changes were made to the City of London Police and MPD boundary on 1 April 1994, with several exchanges of territory.
## 2000 revision.
In 1998 the Government | 6,136,055 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
'Green Paper' on the Greater London Authority proposed to create a police authority for the Metropolitan Police, who had previously been under the control of the Home Secretary. Initially, the government proposed to retain the areas outside the local government boundary, with a representative appointed to the Metropolitan Police Authority from the councils outside the Greater London Authority boundary.
However the government changed its mind and in the Greater London Authority Act 1999 the boundaries of the Metropolitan Police District were redefined to match Greater London. The excised county areas were reassigned to Essex Police, Hertfordshire Constabulary and Surrey Police.
## Use for other | 6,136,056 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
purposes.
The London Coal and Wine Duties Continuance Act 1861 aligned the coal tax boundary to the MPD and a series of coal-tax posts can be found along the boundary as it existed at that time.
During the 20th century the population of the County of London was in decline and the London population was growing in the outer suburbs within the MPD. During this period the MPD was used as a definition of 'Greater London'. 1901 Census is an example of this.
# Exceptions.
Not all parts of Greater London, although within the boundaries of the MPD, are policed by the Metropolitan Police. The Greater London Authority Act 1999 defines the Metropolitan Police District as consisting of "Greater London, | 6,136,057 |
2568355 | Metropolitan Police District | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan%20Police%20District | Metropolitan Police District
excluding the City of London, the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple." The City of London has its own police force, the City of London Police, which also covers the Inner and Middle Temples. As constables of both forces are empowered throughout England and Wales, mutual assistance is a routine matter. The City of London has limited policing jurisdiction with parks constabularies within their lands at Hampstead Heath and Epping Forest (constables are attested under the Greater London Parks & Open Spaces Act 1967 and the Epping Forest Act 1878 respectively not under the Police Acts as members of the City of London Police).
The London Underground and the lines and stations of the national railway | 6,136,058 |

network within the MPD are primarily policed by the British Transport Police but are not excluded from the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police.
The Royal Parks of London used to be policed by the Royal Parks Constabulary (RPC) whose powers derived from the Parks Regulation Act 1872. The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 abolished the RPC in England and Wales and provided for the transfer of personnel within Greater London into the Metropolitan Police, leaving the Royal Parks within the general jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police.
The Ministry of Defence Police is responsible for policing a few Ministry of Defence buildings and property within the MPD. As with the BTP, their | 6,136,059 |

2568408 | Polymatroid | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polymatroid | Polymatroid
Polymatroid
In mathematics, a polymatroid is a polytope associated with a submodular function. The notion was introduced by Jack Edmonds in 1970. It is also described as the multiset analogue of the matroid.
# Definition.
Let formula_1 be a finite set and formula_2 a non-decreasing submodular function, that is, for every formula_3 we have formula_4, and formula_5. We define the polymatroid associated to formula_6 to be the following polytope:
formula_7.
When we allow the entries of formula_8 to be negative we denote this polytope by formula_9, and call it the extended polymatroid associated to formula_10.
## An equivalent definition.
Let formula_1 be a finite set and formula_12. We call | 6,136,061 |
2568408 | Polymatroid | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polymatroid | Polymatroid
the "modulus" of formula_13 to be the sum of all of its entries, and denote formula_14 whenever formula_15 for every formula_16 (notice that this gives an order to formula_17). A polymatroid on the ground set formula_1 is a nonempty compact subset formula_19 in formula_20, the set of independent vectors, such that:
- 1. We have that if formula_21, then formula_22 for every formula_23:
- 2. If formula_24 with formula_25, then there is a vector formula_26 such that formula_27.
This definition is equivalent to the one described before, where formula_6 is the function defined by formula_29 for every formula_30.
# Relation to matroids.
To every matroid formula_31 on the ground set formula_1 | 6,136,062 |
2568408 | Polymatroid | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polymatroid | Polymatroid
we can associate the set formula_33, where for every formula_34 we have that
formula_35
By taking the convex hull of formula_36 we get a polymatroid, in the sense of the second definition, associated to the rank function of formula_37.
# Relation to generalized permutahedra.
Because generalized permutahedra can be constructed from submodular functions, and every generalized permutahedron has an associated submodular function, we have that there should be a correspondence between generalized permutahedra and polymatroids. In fact every polymatroid is a generalized permutahedron that has been translated to have a vertex in the origin. This result suggests that the combinatorial information | 6,136,063 |
2568408 | Polymatroid | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polymatroid | Polymatroid
of polymatroids is shared with generalized permutahedra.
# Properties.
formula_38 is nonempty if and only if formula_39 and that formula_9 is nonempty if and only if formula_41.
Given any extended polymatroid formula_42 there is a unique submodular function formula_10 such that formula_44 and formula_45.
# Contrapolymatroids.
For a supermodular "f" one analogously may define the contrapolymatroid
This analogously generalizes the dominant of the "spanning set polytope" of matroids.
# Discrete polymatroids.
When we only focus on the lattice points of our polymatroids we get what is called, discrete polymatroids. Formally speaking, the definition of a discrete polymatroid goes exactly as | 6,136,064 |
2568408 | Polymatroid | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polymatroid | Polymatroid

# Contrapolymatroids.
For a supermodular "f" one analogously may define the contrapolymatroid
This analogously generalizes the dominant of the "spanning set polytope" of matroids.
# Discrete polymatroids.
When we only focus on the lattice points of our polymatroids we get what is called, discrete polymatroids. Formally speaking, the definition of a discrete polymatroid goes exactly as the one for polymatroids except for where the vectors will live in, instead of formula_20 they will live in formula_48. This combinatorial object is of great interest because of their relationship to monomial ideals.

Johnson Boat Works
Johnson Boat Works was a builder and developer of racing sailboats of the scow design in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. It was founded in 1896, by John O. Johnson who had emigrated from Norway in 1893. After working with Gus Amundson for three years, Johnson started his own boat building business in 1896. His first major success was the "Minnezika" a 38 ft. scow design which won the championship on White Bear Lake in 1900. This sailboat was the beginning of the A-Class. As more classes were founded, Johnson moved on to B's, C's, D's, and E's.
Johnson was commissioned to build the 16 ft. X-Boat for youth in the 1930s. Johnson designed the J-scow in the mid-50's which was converted | 6,136,067 |
2568460 | Johnson Boat Works | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Johnson%20Boat%20Works | Johnson Boat Works
was converted to the MC. Through the years, the boat builder built Opti's and 420's. In 1994, the builder brought out the Johnson 18. In 1998, two years after JBW turned 100 years old, the family sold the company. The scow molds were sold to their competitor Melges Boat Works (now called Melges Performance Sailboats) in Wisconsin. The other molds, including the Johnson 18 mold, were sold to Catalina Yachts in California. The repair and storage part of the company was sold to a family member who renamed the company White Bear Boat Works.

2568484 | Geon (physics) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geon%20(physics) | Geon (physics)
Geon (physics)
In theoretical general relativity, a geon is an electromagnetic or gravitational wave which is held together in a confined region by the gravitational attraction of its own field energy. They were first investigated theoretically in 1955 by J. A. Wheeler, who coined the term as a contraction of "gravitational electromagnetic entity".
# Overview.
Since general relativity is a classical field theory, Wheeler's concept of a geon does not treat them as quantum-mechanical entities, and this generally remains true today. Nonetheless, Wheeler speculated that there might be a relationship between geons and elementary particles. This idea continues to attract some attention among physicists, | 6,136,069 |
2568484 | Geon (physics) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geon%20(physics) | Geon (physics)
but in the absence of a viable theory of quantum gravity, the accuracy of this speculative idea cannot be tested.
Wheeler did not present explicit geon solutions to the vacuum Einstein field equation, a gap which was partially filled by Brill and Hartle in 1964 by the Brill–Hartle geon. In 1997, Anderson and Brill gave a rigorous proof that geon solutions of the vacuum Einstein equation exist, though they are not given in a simple closed form.
A major outstanding question regarding geons is whether they are "stable", or must decay over time as the energy of the wave gradually "leaks" away. This question has not yet been definitively answered, but the consensus seems to be that they probably | 6,136,070 |

This would lay to rest Wheeler's initial hope that a geon might serve as a classical model for stable elementary particles. However, this would not rule out the possibility that geons are stabilized by quantum effects.

Mazagon Fort
The Mazagaon Fort was a British fort in Mazagaon, Bombay (present-day Mumbai), in the Indian state of Maharashtra, built around 1680. The fort was razed by the Siddi general, Yakut Khan in June 1690. The fort was located at the present-day Joseph Baptista Gardens, atop Bhandarwada Hill outside the Dockyard Road railway station.
# History.
Up to the eighteenth century, Bombay consisted of several small islands. In 1661, seven of these islands were ceded by the Portuguese to the British as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza when she married Charles II of England. The harbour proved eminently apposite, and the British planned to shift their base from Surat. The Siddis, who | 6,136,072 |
2568481 | Mazagon Fort | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mazagon%20Fort | Mazagon Fort
were of African descent and noted for their navies, had allied themselves with the Mughals. The British, through the East India Company, and the Mughals were constantly waging war on each other. As allies of the Mughals, the Siddis also viewed the British as enemies.
Faced with relentless attacks by the Siddis in 1672, The British constructed several fortifications in the area, and in 1680 the Sewri fort was complete. It stood on the island of Mazagaon, on a hill overlooking the eastern seaboard.
In 1689, the Siddi general, Yakut Khan, with an army of 20,000 men, invaded Bombay. The fleet first captured the Sewri Fort, then the Mazagon Fort, before sacking the town of Mahim. In April 1689, | 6,136,073 |
2568481 | Mazagon Fort | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mazagon%20Fort | Mazagon Fort
the Siddis laid siege to the British fortification to the south. The British governor Sir John Child appealed to the Mughal Aurangzeb to reign in Sakat for a price. In February 1690, the Mughal emperor agreed, on the conditions that rupees 1.5 lakhs (150,000) (over one billion USD at 2008 conversion rates) be paid, and Child be sacked. Child's untimely death in 1690, however, resulted in his escaping the ignominy of being sacked.
Enraged at barter, Sakat withdrew his forces on 8 June 1690, after razing the Mazagaon Fort.
In 1884, the British developed Bhandarwada Hill as a major water reservoir. It supplies water to South and Central Mumbai. A popular recreation ground, the ground is named | 6,136,074 |

Cycloconverter
A cycloconverter (CCV) or a cycloinverter converts a constant voltage, constant frequency AC waveform to another AC waveform of a lower frequency by synthesizing the output waveform from segments of the AC supply without an intermediate DC link ( and ). There are two main types of CCVs, circulating current type or blocking mode type, most commercial high power products being of the blocking mode type.
# Characteristics.
Whereas phase-controlled SCR switching devices can be used throughout the range of CCVs, low cost, low-power TRIAC-based CCVs are inherently reserved for resistive load applications. The amplitude and frequency of converters' output voltage are both variable. | 6,136,076 |
2568485 | Cycloconverter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cycloconverter | Cycloconverter
The output to input frequency ratio of a three-phase CCV must be less than about one-third for circulating current mode CCVs or one-half for blocking mode CCVs. Output waveform quality improves as the "pulse number" of switching-device bridges in phase-shifted configuration increases in CCV's input. In general, CCVs can be with 1-phase/1-phase, 3-phase/1-phase and 3-phase/3-phase input/output configurations, most applications however being 3-phase/3-phase.
# Applications.
The competitive power rating span of standardized CCVs ranges from few megawatts up to many tens of megawatts. CCVs are used for driving mine hoists, rolling mill main motors, ball mills for ore processing, cement kilns, | 6,136,077 |
2568485 | Cycloconverter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cycloconverter | Cycloconverter
ship propulsion systems, slip power recovery wound-rotor induction motors (i.e., Scherbius drives) and aircraft 400 Hz power generation. The variable-frequency output of a cycloconverter can be reduced essentially to zero. This means that very large motors can be started on full load at very slow revolutions, and brought gradually up to full speed. This is invaluable with, for example, ball mills, allowing starting with a full load rather than the alternative of having to start the mill with an empty barrel then progressively load it to full capacity. A fully loaded "hard start" for such equipment would essentially be applying full power to a stalled motor. Variable speed and reversing are essential | 6,136,078 |
2568485 | Cycloconverter | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cycloconverter | Cycloconverter
to processes such as hot-rolling steel mills. Previously, SCR-controlled DC motors were used, needing regular brush/commutator servicing and delivering lower efficiency. Cycloconverter-driven synchronous motors need less maintenance and give greater reliability and efficiency. Single-phase bridge CCVs have also been used extensively in electric traction applications to for example produce 25 Hz power in the U.S. and 16 2/3 Hz power in Europe.
Whereas phase-controlled converters including CCVs are gradually being replaced by faster PWM self-controlled converters based on IGBT, GTO, IGCT and other switching devices, these older classical converters are still used at the higher end of the power | 6,136,079 |

# Harmonics.
CCV operation creates current and voltage "harmonics" on the CCV's input and output. AC line harmonics are created on CCV's input accordance to the equation,

The Aubert de Gaspé family was a French Canadian family descended from Charles Aubert de La Chesnaye, with several notable members:
- Ignace-Philippe Aubert de Gaspé (1714–1787), army officer
- Pierre-Ignace Aubert de Gaspé (1758–1823), politician, seigneur and son of Ignace-Philippe
- Philippe-Joseph Aubert de Gaspé (1786–1871), writer and son of Pierre-Ignace

Philippe-Joseph Aubert de Gaspé
Philippe-Joseph Aubert de Gaspé (30 October 1786 – 29 January 1871) was a French Canadian writer and seigneur.
# Biography.
He was born in Quebec City in 1786, the son of seigneur Pierre-Ignace Aubert de Gaspé and Catherine Tarieu de Lanaudière, the daughter of seigneur Charles-François Tarieu de La Naudière. The Aubert de Gaspé family was distinguished, ennobled by Louis XIV in 1693. Philippe-Joseph's grandfather, Ignace-Philippe Aubert de Gaspé, fought under Louis-Joseph de Montcalm at Carillon (Ticonderoga). Philippe-Joseph studied at the Séminaire de Québec. He studied law with Jonathan Sewell and then with Jean-Baptiste-Olivier Perrault and was called to | 6,136,082 |

the bar in 1811. Aubert de Gaspé served in the local militia, becoming captain. After practising law until 1816, he was appointed sheriff for Quebec district.
He became involved in debt, for which he was imprisoned four years, and when released he retired to his ancestral home at Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Quebec, on the St. Lawrence. Aubert de Gaspé spent thirty years in study there. At the age of seventy-five, he completed a novel entitled, "Les Anciens Canadiens" (Old-Time Canadians, Quebec, 1863). Almost entirely based on fact, the story illustrates Canadian national tradition, character and manners. The author interwove events of his own chequered life with the tragic tale of the struggles | 6,136,083 |

and fall of New France and of the change of regime, the eyewitnesses of which he had known personally. At that time, it was perhaps the most popular book ever published in the province of Quebec.
In 1866, Aubert de Gaspé published his "Mémoires", which continue and amplify the precious historical notes contained in his other works. Less brilliant and attractive than his novel, the "Mémoires" are an excellent specimen of anecdotal history. The author's standing and experience, the latter embracing directly or indirectly the space of a century dating from the Conquest, constitute him an authentic chronicler of an obscure yet eventful period of history.

Aubert de Gaspé was the last seigneur of Saint-Jean-Port-Joli. He died at Quebec City in 1871.
# Family.
Several of his daughters married political figures:
- Zoé married Charles Joseph Alleyn, who was also mayor of Quebec City
- Suzanne married William Power, a member of the legislative assembly
- Adélaïde married Georges-René Saveuse de Beaujeu
- Charlotte-Elmire married Andrew Stuart, a judge and seigneur.

Bergische Museumsbahnen
The Bergische Museumsbahn is a heritage tram museum situated in the German city of Wuppertal. It operates its own tram line south of Wuppertal on original rails with original cars. Therefore, it's one of the smallest running tram systems in the world. Wuppertal operates still the "Schwebebahn", a unique overhead railway.
# Museum line.
The museum line begins about 50 m east of the Kohlfurth bridge, where the depot may be found with its exhibition of vehicles and a bookshop. A track coming from the bridge is currently out of use. East of the depot the line winds its way south and then swings around in a 180° curve in order to follow the Kaltenbach valley north. The end | 6,136,086 |
2568542 | Bergische Museumsbahnen | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bergische%20Museumsbahnen | Bergische Museumsbahnen
of the line is currently at Greuel halt, although it has long been planned to work the section beyond that to Möschenborn.
Near Möschenborn halt the old line turns south again in order to reach Cronenberg.
The route has a height difference of about 150 metres, which means that it has an average incline of 5%. The largest part of the route cuts through a wood and is therefore typical of the former overground tramway network. On the other hand the route does not really have any town sections. There are seven stops.
