Benihana (skateboarding)
The benihana is an aerial trick performed on a skateboard.
# History.
The benihana was invented by Lester Kasai and named after the Benihana restaurant chain.
# Features.
A benihana is performed by first getting airborne (for example from a vert ramp or an ollie). The skateboarder holds the tail of the skateboard deck with the back hand, while the back foot is taken off the skateboard and extended downwards. The front foot is straightened but kept on the board. When the front foot is extended, the tail of the board is brought close to the inner thigh of the front leg.
# Popularity.
The trick was very popular in the 1990s, with professional skateboarders like Jamie | 6,141,009 |

ularity.
The trick was very popular in the 1990s, with professional skateboarders like Jamie Thomas and Josh Kasper recognised for their proficiency with regard to the benihana. However, since that point, the popularity of the trick has waned.
The trick featured in the Tony Hawk video game series including Tony Hawk's Underground 2, released in 2004.
In 2008, "Transworld Skateboarding" magazine ran a feature that included the benihana in a list of the "10 Worst Tricks In Skateboarding" and described the trick as "terrible".

USS Gwin (DD-71)
USS "Gwin" (DD-71) was one of six s built for the United States Navy in the 1910s.
# Description.
The "Caldwell"s were a transitional design between the "thousand-tonners" of the and the mass-produced destroyers built during World War I. They introduced the flush-deck and were known as the first of the "flush deckers" that were so wet in heavy weather. The ship displaced at standard load and at deep load. They had an overall length of , a beam of and a draught of . They had a crew of 5 officers and 95 enlisted men.
The propulsion arrangements differed between the ships of the class. "Gwin" was powered by two Parsons steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using | 6,141,012 |

steam provided by four Thornycroft boilers. The turbines developed a total of and were designed to reach a speed of . The ships carried a maximum of of fuel oil that gave them a range of at .
The ships were armed with four 4-inch (102 mm) guns in single mounts and were fitted with two 1-pounder guns for anti-aircraft defense. Their primary weapon, though, was their torpedo battery of a dozen 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes in four triple mounts. During World War I, the 1-pounders were replaced by 3-inch (76 mm) anti-aircraft (AA) guns and a "Y-gun" depth charge thrower replaced the aft AA gun and the searchlight.

Division of Darling
The Division of Darling was an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales. The division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 65 divisions to be contested at the first federal election. From 1901 until 1922 it was based on Bourke, Cobar, Nyngan, Coonamble and Gilgandra. From 1906, it also included Dubbo. The 1922 redistribution increased the number of voters in some rural electorates and as a result the division of Barrier was abolished with most of its population, including the large mining town of Broken Hill, Wentworth and Balranald, was absorbed by Darling along with Hay from Riverina. Dubbo was transferred to Gwydir in 1922 but returned | 6,141,016 |

ll, Wentworth and Balranald, was absorbed by Darling along with Hay from Riverina. Dubbo was transferred to Gwydir in 1922 but returned to Darling in 1934. In 1948, Dubbo, Gilgandra and Coonamble were transferred to the new division of Lawson and Hay and Balranald were transferred to Riverina. In 1955 Coonamble returned to Darling. In 1977 it was abolished with Broken Hill and Wentworth going to Riverina and Bourke, Cobar, Nyngan and Coonamble going to Gwydir.
Darling was named for the Darling River. It was a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party throughout its history. Its most prominent member was William Spence, one of the founders of the Labor Party and the Australian Workers' Union. | 6,141,017 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
Valiant (film)
Valiant is a 2005 British–American computer-animated epic adventure comedy film produced by Vanguard Animation, Ealing Studios and Odyssey Entertainment, and released by Entertainment Film Distributors in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2005 and by Walt Disney Pictures in the United States on August 19, 2005. Set in May of the year 1944, it tells the story of a group of war pigeons during World War II. Reviews of "Valiant" were mixed. The film is based on a story by George Webster, and inspired by true stories of hundreds of pigeons that helped the soldiers in the war.
# Plot.
In May 1944, 5 years since the declaration of World War II, three Royal Homing Pigeon Service war pigeons | 6,141,018 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
are flying across the English Channel with the White Cliffs of Dover in sight, carrying vital messages to Great Britain. Despite the poor weather conditions the pigeons have nearly reached their destination. They are, however, suddenly ambushed and attacked by a German enemy peregrine falcon named General Von Talon (Tim Curry); two of the pigeons are instantly killed, yet the third, Mercury (John Cleese), is taken as a prisoner of war.
Elsewhere, a small wood pigeon named Valiant (Ewan McGregor) is watching an Allied forces propaganda film in his local bar (an overturned rowing boat) in West Nestington. He is best friends with Felix (John Hurt), the local barman. Wing Commander Gutsy (Hugh | 6,141,019 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
Laurie), a war hero flies into the bar, informing everyone that signups are scheduled the next day in Trafalgar Square, London. In General Von Talon's lair, Mercury resists interrogation by his captors. Valiant flies off to London, bidding his mother and Felix goodbye. In London, Valiant meets an unhygienic slacker pigeon named Bugsy (Ricky Gervais), who is being hunted by two magpie thugs, after having tricked them at a shell game. In order to escape the thugs, he signs up with Valiant.
The recruits, Valiant, Bugsy, Lofty (Pip Torrens), an intellectual red pigeon, and Toughwood and Tailfeather (Dan Roberts and Brian Lonsdale), two muscular but dim-witted twin brothers, form Royal Homing Pigeon | 6,141,020 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
Service Squad F, and are sent to a recruit training facility. Under the command of Sergeant Monty (Jim Broadbent), who declares that he will toughen them up for the RHPS, the training begins. Meanwhile, Von Talon and his henchmen, Cufflingk (Rik Mayall) and Underlingk (Michael Schlingmann), try numerous attempts to discover the message's departure location. However Mercury refuses to tell, despite the tortures inflicted upon him, such as irritating him with yodeling music and injecting him with truth serum, before Mercury accidentally reveals the location: Saint-Pierre.
Throughout the training, Valiant develops a crush on Victoria (Olivia Williams), the camp's nursing dove. Eventually, Gutsy | 6,141,021 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
arrives and tells the Sergeant that the recruits need to leave the next morning, despite their training being vastly incomplete. Bugsy, however, decides not to go on the "highly dangerous" mission and flees the camp that night. The next morning, Valiant and the others prepare to leave and start to board the plane headed for France, but not before Bugsy shows up at the last second. The journey quickly becomes dangerous, as the plane is caught in the midst of dogfight. Their plane sustains heavy damage and the pigeons soon have to bail out, in boxes equipped with parachutes. The pigeons are dropped from the plane; however a technical malfunction causes Gutsy's box to fail to deploy. The plane | 6,141,022 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
goes down in an inferno of flames, presumably killing Gutsy in the resulting explosion.
In France, the pigeons meet Charles de Girl (Sharon Horgan) and Rollo (Buckley Collum), two mice from the French Resistance, Mouse Division, who lead them to Saint-Pierre, where they receive the message they have been ordered to deliver. They soon come under attack by Von Talon's henchmen, resulting in Bugsy and the message being captured. Von Talon takes the message from Bugsy and decides to lock him up and kill him later, planning to personally deliver the message to the German High Commander himself. Valiant and the troops follow Bugsy to the falcon's bunker, where they discover that Gutsy has survived | 6,141,023 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
the plane crash. Valiant takes advantage of his small size and sneaks into the bunker through the gun barrel, retrieves the message, and frees Bugsy and Mercury. Unfortunately, the falcons witness the escape and give chase. As Gutsy and the others fight off Von Talon's henchmen, Valiant flies to London to deliver the message, followed by Von Talon.
After a climactic chase by the falcon, Valiant hides in the cottage where he lives, where he is caught by Von Talon again. With the help of Felix and the resident pigeons, Valiant outwits Von Talon by getting a giant hook caught on his medals, leaving him to be beaten by the water wheel. Valiant delivers the message, and upon receiving it, a change | 6,141,024 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
of plans is made; they land in Normandy (Even though Allied Forces were planning to land there since early 1943). After receiving the Dickin Medal, Squad F returns to the local bar in West Nestington, where Valiant reunites and shares a romantic kiss with Victoria.

# Themes.
"Valiant" sets the Second World War as its backdrop, and thus the film has various factual references to World War II. McGregor himself called it "a good old-fashioned war movie." The film's use of World War II imagery is apparent throughout; for instance, the villainous characters in the film hold obvious links to the Nazis, although Nazism is never specifically mentioned, nor are Nazi symbols ever overtly visually depicted - edited symbols are however discreetly inserted. For example, General Von Talon wears a large Reichsadler badge that depicts the German eagle, taken from the | 6,141,026 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
coat of arms of Germany. Yet this version, unlike the Hoheitszeichen (Nazi Germany's national insignia), has the eagle grasping two bones, whereas the Hoheitszeichen depicts the eagle clutching a swastika. Furthermore, the film's primary antagonist, Von Talon, holds specific links to Adolf Hitler. For example, Von Talon states whilst holding Mercury as a prisoner of war that he would not eat Mercury, as he is a vegetarian, a direct reference to Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism.
# Production.
## Development.
179 modelers, animators, shaders, texturers began work on "Valiant" at Ealing Studios, west London. "Valiant" was the second computer-animated film to be made in the United Kingdom, after | 6,141,027 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
"The Magic Roundabout". John H. Williams of Vanguard Animation stated "we knew a lot of European animators who had worked at Pixar, Disney and DreamWorks, and were interested in going back to Europe. We thought it would be important to be the first company to produce a CGI feature fully made in Europe with a major studio attached." Williams stated this before he knew about The Magic Roundabout. He also explained the attraction to making the film in Britain, saying "It would have been $3 million cheaper to make in LA but we had $10-12 million in tax and co-production money that we were able to attract because we made it here." Additionally, the bonus of locating to Britain was that the UK Film | 6,141,028 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
Council offered "Valiant" a record-breaking £2.6 million grant. "Valiant"s budget of $35,000,000 is considered low in comparison to other CGI productions, with films which Williams had previously worked on, such as "Shrek 2" having a budget of $150,000,000.
## Director.
Gary Chapman made his directorial debut with "Valiant". Initially hired for character and production design during project development, and ultimately hired to direct the film after extensive working with story development, writers, and producers. Chapman was subsequently storyboard artist, designing characters for the Vanguard Animation movie "Space Chimps".
## Animation.
The film, on a tight budget and with a relatively | 6,141,029 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
small group of animators, was created in 106 weeks, in what "The Times" described as "a piece of guerrilla film-making" in comparison to the other CGI animated films created by major studios. At least 5 computer animators worked together for every scene of the 76-minute film, working on effects such as color, movement and shading. As a result of the low number of animators, some critics called the film's animation "amateurish-looking". However, other reviewers stated that the film was "nicely animated".
Tom Jacomb, line producer for Vanguard Animation, stated that the biggest difficulties whilst making the film was the detail required for the birds' feathers. He stated that "most — no, all | 6,141,030 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
— our problems were feathers", and described them as a "misery in computer animation". Director Gary Chapman insisted that each bird must look distinctive, and as a result, the pigeons came in various colors, including beige, blue, yellow, red and grey. He also requested that each bird be dressed in clothing, and clothing accessories appear throughout the film on characters, usually hats, belts, and military medals and, in the case of the villainous Von Talon, a black leather cape. However, before Valiant, Bugsy, Lofty Thaddeus Worthington, Tailfeather, Toughwood complete their military training, they appear entirely clothes-free, equipped with no military regalia.
C.O.R.E. also did animation | 6,141,031 |
1643035 | Valiant (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valiant%20(film) | Valiant (film)
work on the film.
# Reception.
"Valiant" received mixed reviews from critics. The film received a 31% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 112 reviews with an average rating of 5/10. The site's consensus reads ""Valiant" has a good collection of voice talents, but the story is strictly by-the-numbers." The film did business of $19,478,106 in the U.S. and $42,268,782 internationally. This gives it a worldwide total of $61,746,888, which is considered successful, but low by CGI film standards. The film held the record for lowest box office of a CGI animated film, until its record was later beaten in 2006 by "Doogal", the American re-dubbed version of "The Magic Roundabout".

musical score was composed by George Fenton and mostly performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The orchestral music is in keeping with the military theme of the film, such as through "March of the R.H.P.S.", performed by The Central Band of the Royal Air Force. Tracks were recorded at AIR Recording Studios and at Angel Recording Studios in London and at Right Track Studios, New York.

The only track not composed by Fenton is "Shoo Shoo Baby", performed by R&B girl group Mis-Teeq; originally sung by the popular American wartime group, the Andrews Sisters. Although "Shoo Shoo Baby" was the only track on the album containing lyrics, it was not the only lyrical track used in the film - "Non, je ne regrette rien" by Édith Piaf is played in one scene in the film, despite it being recorded in 1960, 16 years after 1944, when the film was set.

Lubber line
A lubber line is a fixed line on a compass binnacle or radar plan position indicator display pointing towards the front of the ship or aircraft and corresponding to the craft's centerline (being the customary direction of movement).
The line represents 0 degrees and is therefore the zero-point from which relative bearings are measured, e.g., ""twenty-degrees to port"".
Compasses on sailboats may have additional lubber lines at forty-five degrees from the centerline. This represents about as close to the wind as the average boat will sail. These lubber lines may be used when sailing close hauled to see if you are on the closest course to your destination, without having to add or | 6,141,035 |
1643103 | Lubber line | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lubber%20line | Lubber line
subtract the 45 degrees every few minutes, or recalculate your required heading every time you tack. The main line on the compass reads your current (close-hauled) heading and the leeward lubber line will read the bearing to your destination, regardless of whether you are on port or starboard tack. Lubber lines also help you to see windshifts when racing. If you are sailing close-hauled with good trim and you notice that your bearing to the windward mark starts to drift outside the lubber line (angle becoming greater than 45 degrees) you are being headed, and should consider tacking.
Directional Gyros on aircraft also have additional forty-five degree lubber lines. These are useful for intercepting | 6,141,036 |

James Milner, 1st Baron Milner of Leeds
Major James Milner, 1st Baron Milner of Leeds, MC, PC (12 August 1889 – 16 July 1967) was a British Labour Party politician.
# Biography.
Milner was educated at the University of Leeds and became a solicitor. He was a major in World War I and was wounded, awarded the Military Cross and bar for his service. He was a Leeds City Councillor and Deputy Lord Mayor of Leeds in 1928, and was also Chairman of Leeds Labour Party and President of Leeds Law Society. He later became deputy-lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
He was elected as the Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Leeds South East at a by-election in August 1929, and served until 1951. | 6,141,040 |

He became Chairman of Ways and Means and Deputy Speaker and led the British Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. He was made a Privy Counsellor in 1945.
In 1951, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Douglas Clifton Brown, had stepped down. As Chairman of Ways and Means, Milner wanted to be Labour's first-ever Speaker. However, the Conservatives, now the majority party, nominated William Morrison. The vote went along party lines – the first time the post had been contested in the 20th century – and Milner lost.
As some compensation, he was elevated to the House of Lords as Baron Milner of Leeds, of Roundhay in the City of Leeds on 20 December 1951. Denis Healey replaced him in the subsequent | 6,141,041 |

had been contested in the 20th century – and Milner lost.
As some compensation, he was elevated to the House of Lords as Baron Milner of Leeds, of Roundhay in the City of Leeds on 20 December 1951. Denis Healey replaced him in the subsequent by-election.
# Marriage and children.
Milner married Lois Tinsdale Brown on 10 February 1917. They had three children:
- Hon (Lois Elizabeth Florence) Zaidée Milner (born 9 January 1919, died 1980)
- Arthur James Michael Milner, 2nd Baron Milner of Leeds (born 12 September 1923, died 20 August 2003)
- Hon Shelagh Mary Margaret Milner (born 8 March 1925)
Milner died in 1967 at the age of 77 and was succeeded in the barony by his only son, Michael. | 6,141,042 |

Division of Darling Downs
The Division of Darling Downs was an Australian electoral division in the state of Queensland. The division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 65 divisions to be contested at the first federal election. It was named after the Darling Downs region of Queensland, and consisted mainly of the city of Toowoomba and surrounding rural areas. The seat was safely conservative for its entire existence, almost always held by the Country Party (now called the National Party) or the Liberal Party and its predecessors. Its prominent members included Sir Littleton Groom, Cabinet minister and Speaker, and Arthur Fadden, Prime Minister of Australia in 1941.
The electorate's | 6,141,043 |

The electorate's first member, William Henry Groom, died at the first Commonwealth Parliament meeting in Melbourne in 1901. His death led to Australia's first by-election, which was won by his son Littleton. The seat was abolished in 1984, being replaced by the Division of Groom. | 6,141,044 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
Supergene
A supergene is a group of neighboring genes on a chromosome which are inherited together because of close genetic linkage and are functionally related in an evolutionary sense, although they are rarely co-regulated genetically.
# Structure.
Supergenes have cis-effects due to multiple loci (which may be within a gene, or within a single gene's regulatory region), and tight linkage. They are classically polymorphic, and different elements code for different fitness effects which combine to form a coherent or epistatic whole. The two classic supergenes are (1) the "Primula" heterostyly locus, which controls "pin" and "thrum" types, and (2) the locus controlling Batesian mimetic polymorphism | 6,141,045 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
in "Papilio memnon" butterflies. For example, pin and thrum morphs of Primula have effects on genetic compatibility (pin style x thrum pollen, or thrum style x pin pollen matings are successful, while pin x pin, and thrum x thrum matings are rarely successful due to pollen-style incompatibility), and have different style length, anther height in the corolla tube, pollen size, and papilla size on the stigma. Each of these effects is controlled by a different locus in the same supergene, but recombinants are occasionally found with traits combining those of "pin" and "thrum" morphs.
Gene complexes, in contrast, are simply tightly linked groups of genes, often created via gene duplication (sometimes | 6,141,046 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
called segmental duplication if the duplicates remain side-by-side). Here, each gene has similar though slightly diverged function. For example, the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region is a complex of tightly linked genes all acting in the immune system, but has no claim to be a supergene, even though the component genes very likely have epistatic effects and are in strong disequilibrium due in part to selection.
# Origin.
The earliest use of the term "supergene" may be in an article by A. Ernst (1936) in the journal Archiv der Julius Klaus-Stiftung für Vererbungsforschung, Sozialanthropologie und Rassenhygiene.
Classically, supergenes were hypothesized to have evolved from | 6,141,047 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
less tightly-linked genes coming together via chromosomal rearrangement or reduced crossing over, due to selection for particular multilocus phenotypes. For instance, in Batesian mimicry supergenes in species such as "Papilio memnon", genes are required to affect hind-wing, fore-wing, and body colour, and also the presence or absence of long projections (the "tails" of swallowtail butterflies).
The case for the accumulative origin for supergenes was originally based on the work of Nabours on polymorphism for colour and pattern in Grouse Locusts (Tetrigidae). In "Acridium arenosum" the colour-patterns are controlled by thirteen genes on the same chromosome, which reassort (recombine) fairly | 6,141,048 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
easily. They also occur in "Apotettix eurycephalus" where they form two tightly linked groups, between which there is 7% crossing-over. Furthermore, in "Paratettix texanus" there appears to be complete suppression of crossing-over among 24 out of 25 of the colour-pattern genes, which can be distinguished by comparing their effects with those found in other species. Analysis of Nabour's data by Darlington & Mather concluded that the genes responsible for the morphs of "Paratettix texanus" have been gradually aggregated into a group which acts as a single switch-mechanism. This explanation was accepted by E.B. Ford and incorporated into his accounts of ecological genetics.
This process might | 6,141,049 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
involve suppression of crossing-over, translocation of chromosome fragments and possibly occasional cistron duplication. That crossing-over can be suppressed by selection has been known for many years; Detlefsen and Roberts were able to reduce recombination between the loci for white eyes (w) and miniature wings (m) in "Drosophila melanogaster" from the normal 36% to 6% in one line and 0.6% in another.
Debate has tended to centre round the question, could the component genes in a super-gene have started off on separate chromosomes, with subsequent reorganization, or is it necessary for them to start on the same chromosome? Many scientists today believe the latter, because some linkage disequilibrium | 6,141,050 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
is initially needed to select for tighter linkage, and linkage disequilibrium requires both the previous existence of polymorphisms via some other process, like natural selection, favouring gene combinations. If genes are weakly linked, it is probable that the rarer advantageous haplotype dies out, leading to the loss of polymorphism at the other locus.
Most people, following J.R.G. Turner, therefore argue that supergenes arose "in situ" due to selection for correlated and epistatic traits, which just happened to have been possible to select via the existence of suitable loci closely linked to the original variant. Turner calls this a "sieve" explanation, and the Turner explanation might be | 6,141,051 |
1643094 | Supergene | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Supergene | Supergene
other locus.
Most people, following J.R.G. Turner, therefore argue that supergenes arose "in situ" due to selection for correlated and epistatic traits, which just happened to have been possible to select via the existence of suitable loci closely linked to the original variant. Turner calls this a "sieve" explanation, and the Turner explanation might be called the "Turner sieve" hypothesis. Maynard Smith agreed with this view in his authoritative textbook. Nevertheless, the question is not definitively settled. The problem is connected to an even larger question, the evolution of evolvability.

Hubert Curien
Hubert Curien (30 October 1924 – 6 February 2005) was a French physicist and a key figure in European science politics, as the President of CERN Council (1994–1996), the first chairman of the European Space Agency (ESA) (1981–1984), and second President of the Academia Europæa and a President of Fondation de France.
# Biography.
Born in Cornimont, Vosges in Lorraine, Curien enlisted in the French resistance during World War II. After the war he studied Physics at the École normale supérieure.
Curien became the director general of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in 1969, and was one of the founders of the European Science Foundation and chairman from 1979 | 6,141,053 |
1643120 | Hubert Curien | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hubert%20Curien | Hubert Curien
to 1984. He was also head of the French space agency from 1976 to 1984, and first chairman of the board of ESA from 1981 to 1984.
Curien was the Minister of Research of France from 1984 to 1986 and from 1988 to 1993. He entered the French Academy of Sciences in 1994.
Curien was the President of the Fondation de France from 1998 through 2000.
Two years later, in November 2002, he retired from CERN after 38 years of contribution to accelerator projects, starting as a fellow in 1964.
As a tribute to Curien, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has decided to rename its bilateral scientific exchange programmes, previously referred to as "Integrated Action Programmes" or "PAI" to "Hubert Curien | 6,141,054 |
1643120 | Hubert Curien | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hubert%20Curien | Hubert Curien
bert Curien Partnerships" or "PHC". The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has such "Hubert Curien Partnerships" with more than 60 countries in the World.
The 2004 Forum Engelberg also paid tribute to their President Curien for the occasion of his upcoming 80th birthday.
In honour of his contribution to European space, it was decided by ESA, NASA, and the international Committee for Space Research (COSPAR) to name the landing site of the Huygens probe after him, and from 14 March 2007 it is known as the "Hubert Curien Memorial Station".
His son Pierre-Louis Curien is a noted theoretical computer scientist.

1643130 | Pear-shaped | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pear-shaped | Pear-shaped
Pear-shaped
Pear-shaped is a metaphorical term with several meanings, all in reference to the shape of a (European) pear, i.e. tapering towards the top.
# Body shape.
The comparison is more or less literal when the term is applied to people, where it means narrow at the shoulders and wide at the hips, a use that goes back to at least 1815, and one that can have either positive connotations (as in Venus figurines) or negative, depending upon the context.
# Voice.
In the 20th century, another, more abstract use of the term evolved. When said of someone's voice, "pear-shaped" means rich and sonorous. The "Oxford English Dictionary" (OED) dates this use to 1925.
# Failure.
The third meaning | 6,141,057 |
1643130 | Pear-shaped | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pear-shaped | Pear-shaped
se of the term evolved. When said of someone's voice, "pear-shaped" means rich and sonorous. The "Oxford English Dictionary" (OED) dates this use to 1925.
# Failure.
The third meaning is mostly limited to the United Kingdom, also Ireland, South Africa and Australasia. It describes a situation that went awry, perhaps horribly so. A failed bank robbery, for example, could be said to have "gone pear-shaped". The origin for this use of the term is in dispute. The "OED" cites its origin as within the Royal Air Force as a cleaned-up alternative version of its phrase "tits-up" meaning completely broken or dead; as of 2018 the earliest citation is a quote in the 1983 book "Air War South Atlantic". | 6,141,058 |

California (Mr. Bungle album)
California is the third and final studio album by American experimental rock band Mr. Bungle. It was released on July 13, 1999, through Warner Bros.
# Musical style and writing.
In keeping with the band's other output, "California" incorporates a wide variety of musical styles, including Hawaiian music, Eastern music, electro-funk, , folk music, pop music, surf rock, circus music, psychobilly, kecak, , lounge music, exotica, space age pop, jazz rock, avant-garde music, piano ballads and music influenced by science fiction, spaghetti western and horror film scores. The album's 1999 press kit by Warner Bros. Records states ""California" explores an ambiance new | 6,141,059 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
to the band, conjuring up the surly dance moves of Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire; digging through the graveyard of riffs to find English pop, Elvis, Neil Diamond and Michael Jackson. The album is sure to alienate those expecting weird meter-changes and heartless vulgarities. To be sure, this is Western music, chockful of backbeats, strings and vocal harmonies. But like the original 49ers, the listener is headed into a desert land of drought and famine — the dark side of the California Dream."
The songwriting process for "California" was much less collaborative than the band's previous albums. Regarding the album's writing and sound, Trevor Dunn stated in a 2017 interview that "[we] never discussed | 6,141,060 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
our projected direction. We never sat down and said, 'ok the last record was like that so now let’s attempt this.' Instead we individually brought things to the collective table that somehow coalesced without premeditation." He goes on to state that "the recording of "California" was a bit of a nightmare. We attempted frugality by recording a lot in our rehearsal space which Trey had partially turned into a recording studio. But we also spread the work out over various outside studios with a number of engineers as well as additional musicians. In the end we had two 24-track tape machines and two ADAT machines linked. That record would have been much easier to manage had Pro Tools come along | 6,141,061 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
a bit sooner."
# Promotion and touring.
To support the album, Mr. Bungle embarked on a large scale tour covering North America, Europe and Australia. They also notably appeared on the 2000 edition of the SnoCore Tour, performing alongside alternative metal acts whom they had influenced, such as Incubus and System of a Down. According to Dunn, Mr. Bungle were "completely out of place" on the SnoCore Tour. He remarked "We were sort of the grandpas of the tour, so we started really messing with the audiences. We dressed up like the Village People and acted super gay which really pissed off the metal kids." Guitarist Trey Spruance reflected on the SnoCore tour in 2002, recalling "some of us were | 6,141,062 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
going, 'Well … I guess … this’ll be an … adventure?' And that was the whole spirit we went into it with. You know, there’s this thing of, 'Yeah, man, we’ll reach all these other people! We can expand the audience!' I didn’t fucking believe that for a second. That kind of logic—it doesn’t get you anywhere; it doesn’t work. It’s a recipe for failure and disaster." When asked about the hostile audiences the band were subject to during the SnoCore shows, Spruance said "those can be just magic moments. That’s definitely when Mike is at his best."
A major controversy with Anthony Kiedis/Red Hot Chili Peppers developed following the album's release. It was scheduled to be released on June 8, 1999, | 6,141,063 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
but Warner Bros. Records pushed it back so as not to coincide with the Red Hot Chili Peppers similarly titled album, "Californication", which was to be released on the same day. Following the album release date conflict, Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Kiedis had Mr. Bungle removed from a series of summer festivals in Europe. As a major headlining act at the festivals, Kiedis and his band had a say in which bands could appear. The reasoning behind his actions have never been explained, although he had been involved in a public dispute with Mike Patton and his former band Faith No More a decade prior. According to Mr. Bungle themselves, Kiedis had never met or spoken to anyone involved | 6,141,064 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
with the band aside from Mike Patton. Patton himself stated "the rest of the band doesn't care. It's something to do with Anthony."
As a result of the concert removals, Mr. Bungle parodied the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Pontiac, Michigan (coincidentally the home state of Anthony Kiedis) on Halloween of 1999. Patton introduced each Mr. Bungle band member with the name of one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, before covering the songs "Give It Away", "Around the World", "Under the Bridge" and "Scar Tissue", with Patton deliberately using incorrect lyrics. Mr. Bungle also satirized many of the mannerisms of the band, mocking heroin injections, deceased guitarist Hillel Slovak, and on-stage antics. Regarding | 6,141,065 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
the Halloween show, Trey Spruance said "It was pretty weird, having been fans of the first two RHCP albums, realizing that somehow something personal had gone amiss somewhere. So amiss that a decade and a half after we’d liked this now hugely popular band’s music (and hadn't thought much about since), we'd be dealing with the fact that they were unmistakably trying to bury us. Why keep quiet? I remember drawing everybody’s tattoos. James Rotundi our touring keyboardist knew the band's more recent music, and he's a great guitarist, so he did those duties." Kiedis responded by having them removed from the 2000 Big Day Out festival in Australia and New Zealand. He said of the festival shows “I | 6,141,066 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
would not have given two fucks if they played there with us. But after I heard about [the] Halloween show where they mocked us, fuck him and fuck the whole band.” Patton went on to claim that Kiedis' actions had "ruined" Mr. Bungle's career, while Trevor Dunn remarked "It really screwed us up. It screwed up my life in a personal way." The band officially split in 2004, although they had not been active since playing their final concert on September 9, 2000 in Nottingham, England.
## Live performances.
On previous tours, Mr. Bungle were known for their characteristically unconventional stage shows, where the band members would dress up in costumes and masks. The 1999-2000 shows in support of | 6,141,067 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
"California" usually featured Dunn dressed as a blonde girl resembling Goldilocks or The St. Pauli Girl, although for the other members this period was largely devoid of masks and outfits due to the increased demands of the music.
As with the previous "Disco Volante Tour", songs from the group's self-titled debut and independent demos were largely absent, with the exceptions of "Quote Unquote", "My Ass Is on Fire" (reworked with electronic elements), and several of the band's early independent death metal songs, which were featured as part of a medley along with the "Disco Volante" song "Merry Go Go Bye".
# Critical reception and legacy.
"California" was well received by critics. A positive | 6,141,068 |
1643117 | California (Mr. Bungle album) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California%20(Mr.%20Bungle%20album) | California (Mr. Bungle album)
review came from Pitchfork, who called it "one of those albums that you can't believe a major label had anything to do with", writing, "the more I listen to "California", the more I'm convinced that Mike Patton is really the devil on holiday." Steve Huey of AllMusic similarly remarked that the album "[will] make you marvel at the fact that such a defiantly odd, uncommercial band recorded for Warner Bros." In 2017, Canadian site "Exclaim!" cited it as an essential album in Mike Patton's career discography, claiming ""California" maintained the strange stylings that Mr. Bungle fans had come to love by that point, but remains beautiful and melodic to this day."

SwePol is a -long monopolar high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cable between the Stärnö peninsula near Karlshamn, Sweden, and Bruskowo Wielkie, near Słupsk, Poland.
SwePol is a high voltage cable with a cross section of . It runs for as underground cable from Stärno HVDC Station to the shore of the Baltic Sea. The long submarine cable comes ashore in Poland near Ustka at and runs underground for the remaining to Bruskowo Wielkie HVDC Static Inverter Plant.
Unlike other monopolar HVDC schemes, Swepol uses a metallic return consisting of 2 cables with sections for the submarine portion of the line, and a single cable with sections for the land portions.
Both stations use air-core | 6,141,072 |

inductance smoothing rectifiers of 225 mH and a weight of 27.5 tonnes, with filters for the 11th, 13th, 24th, and 36th harmonics. Each filter consists of a coil and a capacitor switched in row. The filters for the 11th and 13th harmonics are adjustable. The filters deliver a reactive power of 95 Mvar. Additional 95 Mvar reactive power is delivered by a capacitor bank. Each station's static inverter, which is switched as a 12-pulse thyristor bridge, consists of 792 thyristors arranged in three high towers installed in a valve hall.
The SwePol link was inaugurated in 2000 and can transmit up to 600 MW power at a voltage of 450 kV. It was initially owned and maintained by SwePol Link AB, a company | 6,141,073 |
1643127 | SwePol | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SwePol | SwePol
jointly owned by the state-owned Swedish power company Svenska Kraftnät (51%), Vattenfall (16%), and Polish transmission system operator PSE-Operator (33%), but the company was liquidated and the cable was acquired by Svenska Kraftnät for the Swedish and PSE-Operator for the Polish part of the cable.
Since coming online, 11 instances of cable damage have occurred: one on the high voltage line and 10 on the return cable. Causes have included ship anchors, fishing nets, fire, and grid power disturbances. On February 14, 2005, the smoothing reactor at the HVDC station at Bruskowo Wielkie was destroyed by fire. Repairs took 20 hours.

Division of Darwin
The Division of Darwin was an Australian Electoral Division in Tasmania.
The division was created in 1903 and abolished in 1955, when it was replaced by the Division of Braddon. It was named after Charles Darwin, who visited Australia in 1836.
It was located in north-western and western Tasmania, including the towns of Burnie and Devonport.
After 1917, it was always in the hands of the non-Labor parties. Prominent members included King O'Malley, a colourful Labor member, Sir George Bell, Speaker of the House, and Dame Enid Lyons, the first woman elected to the House of Representatives. | 6,141,077 |

Samuel Holden Parsons
Samuel Holden Parsons (May 14, 1737 – November 17, 1789) was an American lawyer, jurist, general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and a pioneer to the Ohio Country. Parsons was described as "Soldier, scholar, judge, one of the strongest arms on which Washington leaned, who first suggested the Continental Congress, from the story of whose life could almost be written the history of the Northern War" by Senator George F. Hoar of Massachusetts
Parsons was born in Lyme, Connecticut, the son of Jonathan Parsons and Phoebe (Griswold) Parsons. At the age of nine, his family moved to Newburyport, Massachusetts, where his father, an ardent supporter | 6,141,082 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
of the First Great Awakening, took charge of the town's new Presbyterian congregation.
Parsons graduated from Harvard College in 1756 and returned to Lyme to study law in the office of his uncle, Connecticut governor Matthew Griswold (governor). He was admitted to the bar in 1759, and started his law practice in Lyme. In 1761, he married Mehitabel Mather (1743–1802), a great-great-great-granddaughter of Rev. Richard Mather. Well-connected politically, he was elected to the General Assembly in 1762, where he remained a representative until his removal to New London.
# Revolutionary activist.
Actively involved in the resistance against British forces on the eve of the Revolution, he was a member | 6,141,083 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
of New London's Committee of Correspondence. In March 1772, he wrote to Massachusetts leader Samuel Adams, suggesting a congress of the colonies: "I take the liberty to propose for your consideration", he wrote, "whether it would not be advisable in the present critical situation to revive an institution which formerly had a very salutary effect – I mean an annual meeting of commissioners from the colonies to consult on their general welfare."
Parsons went on to suggest that the time for discussing colonial independence from Britain was at hand: "The idea of inalienable allegiance to any prince or state, is an idea to me inadmissible; and I cannot but see that our ancestors, when they first | 6,141,084 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
landed in America, were as independent of the crown or king of Great Britain, as if they hade never been his subjects; and the only rightful authority derived to him over this people, was by explicit covenant contained in the first charters."
# Military career.
In April 1775, immediately after the battles of Lexington and Concord, Parsons, along with colleagues in the Connecticut legislature, began promoting a project to take Fort Ticonderoga from the British, securing commitments of both public and private funds to underwrite the expedition.
Like most active politicians of the period, Parsons served as a militia leader. He was appointed Major of the 14th Connecticut, Militia Regiment in | 6,141,085 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
1770. In 1775, he was commissioned Colonel of the 6th Connecticut Regiment, a new regiment raised "for the special defence and safety of the Colony". In June he was ordered to lead his regiment to Boston, where he fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill. He remained in Boston until the British evacuated the city in March 1776.
In August 1776 Congress appointed Parsons Brigadier General in the Continental Army. He was ordered to New York with his brigade of about 2,500 men. Stationed in Brooklyn, Parsons was in the thick of the fighting with British troops under Lord Sterling at Battle Hill on August 17, 1776. He took part in the Council of War on August 29, at which it was decided to retreat from | 6,141,086 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
New York. Parsons successfully transported his men from Long Island, joining the main body of the army as it withdrew from the city.
While in New York, Parsons played a central role in the American efforts to destroy the British fleet. David Bushnell, an inventor from Connecticut, had devised a submarine called the "Turtle" which he planned to use to place torpedoes on British ships. Parsons selected his brother-in-law, Sergeant (later Captain) Ezra Lee, to undertake this risky mission. Lee succeeded in reaching the British flagship Eagle undetected, but was unable to attach the torpedo to its hull. The bomb exploded, much to the consternation of the British, but without causing any harm to | 6,141,087 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
the ship.
After the retreat from New York, Parsons' brigade was assigned to General Israel Putnam's division north of the city. He fought in the battle of White Plains. In January 1777, he returned to Connecticut to help recruit the Connecticut Line to bolster depleted Continental forces. He led raids on Loyalist enclaves on Long Island, and took part in efforts to defend Connecticut towns against raids by British forces under General William Tryon. He organized the raid led by Return Jonathan Meigs against Sag Harbor in retaliation for Tryon's raid on Danbury, and led a failed assault on Setauket, New York in August 1777.
In the winter of 1777–78, Parsons took command of West Point, and began | 6,141,088 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
building its fortifications. At the end of 1778, he joined Connecticut troops at winter quarters in Redding. In December 1779, Parsons took command of Putnam's Division, and spent the following months recruiting, training, and trying to engage British General Sir Henry Clinton in battle. The high point of this period was the discovery, in September 1780, of Benedict Arnold's treacherous scheme to surrender West Point to the British. Parsons served on the board of officers which tried Arnold's accomplice, Major John André, and ultimately sentenced him to death.
On October 23, 1780 Parsons was promoted to Major General. In the winter of 1781 he helped suppress the mutinies of soldiers in Pennsylvania | 6,141,089 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
and New Jersey, and took part in efforts to clear out Tory militias in Westchester, north of New York. After months of containing the British troops in New York, American forces, now bolstered by French reinforcements, departed for Virginia. Parsons and his troops were left behind to keep the British contained.
In July 1782, following the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, Parsons – broken physically and financially – tendered his resignation to Congress. Forty-five years old, he had served continuously since the Lexington Alarm of 1775.
# Civilian life.
On the eve of the war, Parsons had moved his family to Middletown, Connecticut, which was then a prosperous port on the Connecticut | 6,141,090 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
River. He returned there during the summer of 1782, hoping to revive his law practice, his political career, and his depleted finances. Something of a celebrity, Parsons was elected to the legislature, became involved in organizing the Connecticut branch of the Society of the Cincinnati, and was appointed by Congress to help with Indian diplomacy on the western frontier.
In March 1787, Parsons became a director of the Ohio Land Company, a scheme that enabled ex-Revolutionary officers to trade their pay certificates for Ohio lands. Parsons played a leading role in persuading Congress to sell land to the company, and then jockeyed for appointment to a leading position in the territory. Though | 6,141,091 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
aspiring to the governorship—which was later awarded to General Arthur St. Clair—Parsons was appointed Chief Justice. In the midst of this, Parsons was also an active member of the Connecticut Convention for adopting the U.S. Constitution.
# Frontier jurist.
In March 1788, Parsons and his son Enoch, who had been appointed Registrar and Clerk of Probate, set out for the Northwest Territory. They arrived at Marietta, Ohio—a settlement of some fifty houses—in May 1788. Parsons was one of the early pioneers to the Northwest Territory. Lacking a clergyman, Parsons filled in as leader of sabbath services. During the following months, Parsons busied himself with surveying the Ohio Company's lands | 6,141,092 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
and purchasing choice parcels for himself and his family.
On November 1, 1789, Parsons wrote to his wife in Connecticut from Pittsburgh, stating that he was about to "set out for Lake Erie to survey the Connecticut lands (Connecticut Western Reserve)."
A letter written by Richard Butler, dated November 25, 1789, relates the circumstances of Parsons' death:
I am sorry to inform you that I have every reason to fear that our old friend, General Parsons, is no more. He left this place [Pittsburgh] in company with Captain Heart, (who is sent to explore the communication by way of the Beaver to Cuyahoga and the Lake), on the 5th instant, he had sent a man with his horses from the place where he | 6,141,093 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
had encamped the night before, and directed him to tell Lieut. McDowell, who commanded the Block House below the falls of Beaver, that he (General Parsons) would be there to dinner. A snow had fallen in the night which had retarded the progress of the man with the horses. At one place on the Beaver shore he saw where a canoe had landed, and a person got out to warm his feet by walking about, as he saw he had kicked against the trees and his tracks to the canoe again. The man did not get down till evening, but about noon the canoe, broken in pieces, came by the Block House, and some articles known to belong to General Parsons were taken up and others seen to pass. Lieut. McDowell has diligent | 6,141,094 |
1643119 | Samuel Holden Parsons | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20Holden%20Parsons | Samuel Holden Parsons
search made for the body of the General, but made no discovery.
Parsons' body was found the following May and was buried with the expectation that it would be more suitably interred. Because of the series of mishaps, the location of his burial was lost. The General now lies in an unknown/unmarked grave on the banks of the Beaver River near the vicinity of New Brighton, Pennsylvania and Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania in
Pennsylvania. He has a cenopath memorial in Middletown Connecticut. After his death, due to the depreciation of currency values, after Letters of Administration were sent in 1789 to his son Enoch, "..His estates, both in Middletown and Marietta, were found to be insolvent.."
