Q1195792 The Intel Core microarchitecture (previously known as the Next-Generation Micro-Architecture) is a multi-core processor microarchitecture unveiled by Intel in Q1 2006. It is based on the Yonah processor design and can be considered an iteration of the P6 microarchitecture, introduced in 1995 with Pentium Pro. High power consumption and heat intensity, the resulting inability to effectively increase clock speed, and other shortcomings such as an inefficient pipeline were the primary reasons why Intel abandoned the NetBurst microarchitecture and switched to a completely different architectural design, delivering high efficiency through a small pipeline rather than high clock speeds. The Core microarchitecture never reached the clock speeds of the Netburst microarchitecture, even after moving to 45 nm lithography; however, after many generations of successor microarchitectures which are developed with the Core as the basis (such as Nehalem, Sandy Bridge and more) Intel managed to surpass the clock speeds of Netburst using the Devil's Canyon (Improved version of Haswell) microarchitecture which reached a base frequency of 4 GHz and a maximum tested frequency of 4.4 GHz using 22 nm lithography and ultimately derives from the P6 microarchitecture through the Core microarchitecture and many other succeeding improvements.The first processors that used this architecture were code-named 'Merom', 'Conroe', and 'Woodcrest'; Merom is for mobile computing, Conroe is for desktop systems, and Woodcrest is for servers and workstations. While architecturally identical, the three processor lines differ in the socket used, bus speed, and power consumption. Mainstream Core-based processors are branded Pentium Dual-Core or Pentium and low end branded Celeron; server and workstation Core-based processors are branded Xeon, while Intel's first 64-bit desktop and mobile Core-based processors were branded Core 2.

Q5665711 Harrison H. Jeffords (August 21, 1834 – July 3, 1863) was the Colonel of the Fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Union Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. He was noted for his heroism on July 2, 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg, in which he gave his life while protecting the United States flag.Jeffords was born in New York, but his family eventually moved to Michigan, where Harrison soon took up the study of law. As a practicing lawyer in Dexter, Michigan during the outbreak of the Civil War, his patriotism urged him to enlist in the Fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry as a Lieutenant in Company K. Later, on May 1, 1862, he became captain of Company C, and later rose to the command of the regiment, as its Colonel, on November 26, 1862. The Fourth Michigan Infantry and Harrison Jeffords saw action in several of the major battles in the Eastern Theater while serving in the Army of the Potomac.While Colonel Jeffords was back in Michigan on a recruiting trip, the ladies of Monroe, Michigan, presented him with a new national flag to replace the regiment's original flag, which had been badly damaged in recent battles. Jeffords stated that he would defend the flag with his life.During the second day at Gettysburg, the color-bearer of the regiment dropped this flag, and as Colonel Jeffords advanced to retrieve it, he fought with the Confederate soldier who had seized the flag, as he grasped the banner himself. In the ensuing melee, Jeffords received a gunshot wound to the thigh and was bayoneted by a Confederate soldier in the left abdomen, a mortal wound for the 28-year-old officer. He died at 4 AM the next day, on July 3, 1863. His final words were said to be "Mother, mother, mother." Jeffords became the highest commissioned officer in the Civil War to die of a bayonet wound. His body was sent home to Dexter, Michigan, after the battle, where approximately 2,000 people attended the funeral of its beloved hero. He is buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Dexter.After the war, the regiment erected its monument on the battlefield near the point at which the colonel fell. Despite popular belief, the monument's image of the color-bearer is not a representation of Colonel Harrison Herbert Jeffords. Besides lacking Colonel Jefford's ever-present "goatee" styled beard, the soldier depicted does not have on the Colonel's uniform, but is actually outfitted according to post war army regulation. However, there is a verse inscribed in dedication to the Fourth Michigan's fallen leader, on the opposite side of the monument.

Q1687279 Watts is a neighborhood in southern Los Angeles, California. It is located within the South Los Angeles region, bordering the cities of Lynwood and South Gate to the east and southeast, respectively, and the unincorporated community of Willowbrook to the south.Founded in the late nineteenth century as a ranching community, the arrival of the railroads and the construction of Watts Station saw the rapid development of Watts as an independent city, but in 1926 was consolidated with Los Angeles. By the 1940s, Watts transformed into a primarily working class African-American neighborhood, but from the 1960s developed a reputation as a low-income, high-crime area, following the Watts riots and the increasing influence of street gangs. Today Watts is a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood with a significant African American minority, and remains one of the most impoverished and dangerous neighborhoods in Los Angeles despite falling crime rates since the 1990s. Notable civic activities by residents of Watts include the "Toys for Watts" toy drive, the Watts Christmas parade, and the "Watts Summer Games" athletic tournament, as well as a local theatre and a dance company, in an effort to improve the neighborhood.Watts is noted internationally for the landmark Watts Towers by Simon Rodia, which are a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood has also been featured or referenced in numerous forms of media, particularly West Coast hip-hop music, and movies and television shows set in Los Angeles.

Q7160293 Peeler Lake is a California landform within the Toiyabe National Forest and on the west edge of the Hoover Wilderness. One of the few bodies of water on the Great Basin Divide, Peeler Lake's inflow is sufficient for outlet streams over 2 Sierra Crest sills of similar elevation to respectively drain westward to the Pacific Ocean (Rancheria Creek, Tuolumne & San Joaquin Rivers, and Suisun & San Francisco Bays) and eastward into the Great Basin (Robinson Creek, East Walker & Walker Rivers, Walker Lake sink). Peeler Lake's saddle area is a mountain pass between the west Sierra slope (Tuolumne County) and the Sierra Escarpment (Mono County) to the east, and the lake level of 9,488 ft (2,892 m) is over 1,000 ft (300 m) below the summits of Cirque Mountain (north) and Crowne Point (south). The namesake Peeler Lake Trail of 1.5 mi (2.4 km) from the east reaches the lake from the Robinson Creek Trailhead parking at the west side of Twin Lakes (formerly Mono Village), and the Bridgeport Ranger Station issues overnight permits for the backcountry area of the lake.Peeler Lake was named in 1925 for Barney Peeler (1833-1920) of nearby Bridgeport (as was Barney Lake downstream to the east), and the lake was added to the Geographic Names Information System in 2000. In 2006, an environmental evaluation of the lake concluded "the nitrate concentration of 17 μeq/L to be too high to come from atmospheric deposition alone."

Q2831212 Wojciech Grzymała (23 April 1793 - 16 December 1871), also known as Albert Grzymala or Albert Grzymała, was a Polish soldier, politician, and banker who was a close associate in Paris of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.Grzymała was born in Dunajowce in the Duchy of Warsaw (now Dunaivtsi, Ukraine). He began attending military school in 1807, and took part in the Battle of Borodino (1812), for which he received the medal Virtuti Militari. A freemason, and active in Polish politics during the 1820s, he was a principal orator at the funeral of Stanisław Staszic (1826). in 1828-9 he was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg for his association with the Polish Towarzystwo Patriotyczne (Patriotic Society). As a director of the first Bank of Poland, he negotiated in London and Paris for financial and other support for Poland after the 1830 November Uprising.Grzymała remained in Paris and became a society figure. He often acted as Chopin's adviser and "gradually began to fill the role of elder brother in [his] life." He was a frequent correspondent of both Chopin and of George Sand; Sand, in a letter to Grzymała of June 1838, admitted her strong feelings for the composer and debated whether to abandon a current affair in order to begin a relationship with Chopin.Grzymała died, a bankrupt, in Nyon, Geneva, in 1871.
Q18164134 Connemara Station also often spelled as Connemarra Station is a pastoral lease that currently operates as a cattle station in Queensland.The property is situated approximately 29 kilometres (18 mi) east of Augathella and 100 kilometres (62 mi) north east of Charleville. The ephemeral Ferrer's Creek runs through the property.The lease was first taken up by pioneer and pastoralist John Costello in the late 1860s.By 1877 Connemara was owned by De Burgh Persee who was running cattle. In 1881 Connemara sold for £21,000 and was stocked with 3,000 head of cattle.Acquired in the 1880s by Vincent James Dowling, Dr. James Cox and Septimus Stephen the property was stocked with 25,000 head of cattle and occupied an area of 3,000 square miles (7,770 km2).In 1933 the homestead was completely destroyed by fire. The manager, S. G. Kerr, lost everything in the fire. At this time Connemarra was owned by Allison and Wigan. When put up for auction in 1937 when stocked with 9.235 head of cattle the property attracted no bids and was passed in. The trustees of the estate of J. B. Allison sold the station in 1938 to B. K. Reid. At the time it was stocked with 8,500 shorthorn cattle and 100 horses and encompassed an area of 1,906 square miles (4,937 km2).The North Australian Pastoral Company acquired the property in 1986 and sold it in 2007.

Q199691 In mathematics, the Laplace transform is an integral transform named after its inventor Pierre-Simon Laplace (). It transforms a function of a real variable t (often time) to a function of a complex variable s (complex frequency). The transform has many applications in science and engineering.The Laplace transform is similar to the Fourier transform. While the Fourier transform of a function is a complex function of a real variable (frequency), the Laplace transform of a function is a complex function of a complex variable. Laplace transforms are usually restricted to functions of t with t ≥ 0. A consequence of this restriction is that the Laplace transform of a function is a holomorphic function of the variable s. Unlike the Fourier transform, the Laplace transform of a distribution is generally a well-behaved function. Techniques of complex variables can also be used to directly study Laplace transforms. As a holomorphic function, the Laplace transform has a power series representation. This power series expresses a function as a linear superposition of moments of the function. This perspective has applications in probability theory.The Laplace transform is invertible on a large class of functions. The inverse Laplace transform takes a function of a complex variable s (often frequency) and yields a function of a real variable t (often time). Given a simple mathematical or functional description of an input or output to a system, the Laplace transform provides an alternative functional description that often simplifies the process of analyzing the behavior of the system, or in synthesizing a new system based on a set of specifications. So, for example, Laplace transformation from the time domain to the frequency domain transforms differential equations into algebraic equations and convolution into multiplication.Laplace wrote extensively about the use of generating functions in Essai philosophique sur les probabilités (1814) and the integral form of the Laplace transform evolved naturally as a result .

Q7372341 Roxana Sand (also known as Roxanne Carmine, née Golda Glickman) was an erotic dancer and fan dancer whose performance at Minsky's Burlesque, in August 1936, resulted in a crackdown on burlesque shows in New York City. She was one of five dancers who performed strip-tease acts, which led to the conviction of Sam Krauss, manager of theGotham Theatre, East 125th Street (Manhattan), for giving an indecent performance. The theatre was owned by Abe Minsky. Minsky's was soon closed along with other burlesque venues by protests from citizen's groups and the reform administration of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia.She was one of fourteen defense witnesses in the court proceeding in which Krauss was found guilty. Two of her fellow dancers, Muriel Lord and Jewel Southern, gave testimony which attested that each was properly clothed while performing. Sand chased a newspaper photographer up three flights of stairs at the New York City courthouse at the conclusion of the trial, because he had taken her photo. She stopped her pursuit only after someone hurled a used flashbulb at her feet, which exploded with a loud boom.
