Q5644390 Hamden is an unincorporated community in northern Choctaw County, Oklahoma. It is seven miles southeast of Antlers, Oklahoma.A United States Post Office was established at Hamden, Indian Territory on March 31, 1894 and operated until May 15, 1924. Hamden is on the boundary separating Choctaw County and Pushmataha County, and residents of the community live in both.During the 1880s the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, more popularly known as the “Frisco”, built a line from north to south through the Choctaw Nation of the Indian Territory, connecting Fort Smith, Arkansas with Paris, Texas. Train stations were established every few miles to aid in opening up the land and, more particularly, to serve as the locations of section houses. Supervisors for their respective miles of track lived in the section houses to administer the track and its right-of-way. These stations also served as points at which the trains could draw water.The site of Hamden was selected because of its proximity to a local creek. Adjacent station stops were established to the north and south.The sparsely populated area, at that time known as Kiamitia County (Kiamichi County) of the Choctaw Nation, in the Indian Territory, was home to Choctaw Indians who farmed or subsisted on the land.Few roads or trails existed. Transportation was provided by the Frisco Railroad, which offered six trains per day—three in each direction—until it closed to passenger traffic during the late 1950s. It continued freight operations until 1981, when it closed altogether.Hamden, in its commercial heyday, boasted a cotton gin, store, school and churches, in addition to numerous homes. Residents continue to live in the area. The only local landmarks are a community center and the foundations of the old cotton gin, located near the railroad tracks and creek.

Q1784730 In mathematics, the Fortuin–Kasteleyn–Ginibre (FKG) inequality is a correlation inequality, a fundamental tool in statistical mechanics and probabilistic combinatorics (especially random graphs and the probabilistic method), due to Cees M. Fortuin, Pieter W. Kasteleyn, and Jean Ginibre (1971). Informally, it says that in many random systems, increasing events are positively correlated, while an increasing and a decreasing event are negatively correlated. It was obtained by studying the random cluster model.An earlier version, for the special case of i.i.d. variables, called Harris inequality, is due to Theodore Edward Harris (1960), see below. One generalization of the FKG inequality is the Holley inequality (1974) below, and an even further generalization is the Ahlswede–Daykin "four functions" theorem (1978). Furthermore, it has the same conclusion as the Griffiths inequalities, but the hypotheses are different.

Q1196990 "The Soul of Man under Socialism" is an 1891 essay by Oscar Wilde in which he expounds a libertarian socialist worldview and a critique of charity. The writing of "The Soul of Man" followed Wilde's conversion to anarchist philosophy, following his reading of the works of Peter Kropotkin.In "The Soul of Man" Wilde argues that, under capitalism, "the majority of people spoil their lives by an unhealthy and exaggerated altruism—are forced, indeed, so to spoil them": instead of realising their true talents, they waste their time solving the social problems caused by capitalism, without taking their common cause away. Thus, caring people "seriously and very sentimentally set themselves to the task of remedying the evils that they see in poverty but their remedies do not cure the disease: they merely prolong it" because, as Wilde puts it, "the proper aim is to try and reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible."

Q7661480 Michael Haydn's Symphony No. 15 in D major, Perger 41, Sherman 15, MH 150, is believed to have been written in Salzburg after 1771. This work was at one time attributed to Joseph Haydn, the first work in D major so attributed.Scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings, in four movements:Allegro spiritosoMinuet and Trio (in A major)Andante (in G major)Presto assaiThe placement of the Minuet second, before the slow movement, is unusual in Michael Haydn's symphonies, though there is one other specimen, the Symphony No. 16, which scholars are fairly certain is a close contemporary to this one. Three symphonies by brother Joseph Haydn also have this placement, 32, 37 and 44.The corresponding placement of the Scherzo second in the Romantic era, despite Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, remained rare until Anton Bruckner's Second (original version), Eighth and Ninth symphonies, and Gustav Mahler's First, Fourth and Sixth (original version) symphonies.

Q6889266 A modex is a number that is part of the Aircraft Visual Identification System, along with the aircraft's tail code. It usually consists of two or three numbers that the Department of the Navy, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps use on aircraft to identify a squadron's mission and a specific aircraft within a squadron. These numbers are painted conspicuously on the aircraft's nose—or, on helicopters, sometimes on the aft portion of the fuselage or forward portion of the empennage. Modexes are also painted less conspicuously on other aircraft areas (i.e., fin tip, flaps, etc.). Shore-based aviation units use either two-digit or three-digit modexes, while carrier-based units always use three digits. In a Carrier air wing (CVW), the first digit of a modex number indicates the squadron an individual aircraft is assigned to in the CVW. Modex numbers in the 1xx and 2xx series are assigned to the CVW's Super Hornet Strike Fighter Squadrons (VFA), which fly either the F/A-18E or F/A-18F Super Hornet. Modex numbers in the 3xx and 4xx series are assigned to the CVW's remaining two VFA squadrons (or, if a Marine Corps squadron is assigned, VMFA), which fly the F/A-18C Hornet. As more USN F/A-18C Hornet squadrons transition to the F/A-18E or F Super Hornet those 3xx and 4xx modexes may also belong to VFA squadrons flying the Super Hornet. All CVWs have four VFA squadrons or three VFA and one VMFA. Some are all Super Hornet E or F squadrons and some are a mix of Hornet C model squadrons and Super Hornet E or F model squadrons. 5xx side numbers are assigned to the Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadron flying the EA-18G Growler. Modex numbers with the first digit of 6 are assigned to the Airborne Early Warning (VAW) squadron (600-609) flying the E-2C (currently transitioning to the E-2D) Hawkeye, and the Helicopter Sea Combat (HSC) squadron (610 and higher) flying the MH-60S Seahawk helicopter. 7xx modexes are assigned to the Helicopter Maritime Strike (HSM) squadron flying the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter. The last two digits identify an individual aircraft within a squadron, with the aircraft numbered sequentially from x00 (or 610 in the case of the HSC squadron) up to the number of aircraft in that squadron with the number x13 often skipped. Some squadrons may skip numbers other than x13 if past mishaps resulted in the loss of an aircraft or crew with that number. Each squadron typically designates the aircraft with the modex number of x00 (i.e., 100, 200, etc.) as the CVW commander's (CAG's) aircraft (called the CAG bird) and paint its tail with squadron colors rather than with the subdued grey tone colors of the rest of the squadron's aircraft. Aircraft with a modex of xx1 (i.e., 101, 201, 701 etc.) generally carry the name of that squadron's commanding officer and those with a modex of xx2 (e.g., 102, 202, 702, etc.) generally carry the name of the squadron's executive officer. Marine aircraft are typically shore-based and use a two-digit modex. If USMC aircraft are assigned to a carrier air wing they employ the three-digit system used by the rest of the carrier airwing.Land-based naval transport aircraft (VR) may use three-digit modex numbers but use of the last three digits of the aircraft's bureau number (BUNO) is also not uncommon. Carrier onboard delivery aircraft (VRC) also used BUNO-derived side numbers, but occasionally use the aircraft carrier's number (for example, 68 for an aircraft assigned to USS Nimitz: CVN-68).Land-based patrol aircraft (VP) previously used a two-digit modex number until the mid-1990s when they transitioned to three digit modexes using the last three digits of the aircraft's Bureau Number (BuNo).

Q891234 The 2010–2012 European Nations Cup is the premier rugby union competition below the Six Nations Championship in Europe.The divisions play on a two-year cycle with the teams playing each other both home and away. From 2009 onward, the title is awarded according to a one-year ranking. Georgia won the 2011 title.The competition was altered slightly for the 2010–2012 edition. The top division, formerly Division 1, now Division 1A, saw the relegation of Germany, which was replaced with Ukraine. The Division 1B, formerly the Division 2A, was enlarged from five to six teams. No team was relegated from this division, but the Netherlands was promoted from Division 2B.The champions of 1B will be promoted to 1A for 2013–14, while the last placed team in each division will be relegated. Unlike the previous edition, which also functioned as the 2011 Rugby World Cup qualifying, the 2011–2012 Division 1A edition has no additional purpose.

Q995745 Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together. Domesticated animals are known as breeds, normally bred by a professional breeder, while domesticated plants are known as varieties, cultigens, or cultivars. Two purebred animals of different breeds produce a crossbreed, and crossbred plants are called hybrids. Flowers, vegetables and fruit-trees may be bred by amateurs and commercial or non-commercial professionals: major crops are usually the provenance of the professionals.In animal breeding, techniques such as inbreeding, linebreeding, and outcrossing are utilized. In plant breeding, similar methods are used. Charles Darwin discussed how selective breeding had been successful in producing change over time in his 1859 book, On the Origin of Species. Its first chapter discusses selective breeding and domestication of such animals as pigeons, cats, cattle, and dogs. Darwin used artificial selection as a springboard to introduce and support the theory of natural selection.The deliberate exploitation of selective breeding to produce desired results has become very common in agriculture and experimental biology.Selective breeding can be unintentional, e.g., resulting from the process of human cultivation; and it may also produce unintended – desirable or undesirable – results. For example, in some grains, an increase in seed size may have resulted from certain ploughing practices rather than from the intentional selection of larger seeds. Most likely, there has been an interdependence between natural and artificial factors that have resulted in plant domestication.
Q5601557 John McLeod Campbell (4 May 1800 – 27 February 1872) was a Scottish minister and Reformed theologian. In the opinion of one German church historian, contemporaneous with Campbell, his theology was a highpoint of British theology during the nineteenth century. James B. Torrance ranked him highly on the doctrine of the atonement, placing Campbell alongside Athanasius of Alexandria and Anselm of Canterbury. Campbell took his cue from his close reading of the early Church Fathers, the historic Reformed confessions and catechisms, John Calvin, Martin Luther's commentary on Galatians, and Jonathan Edwards' works.

Q448540 Parylene is the trade name for a variety of chemical vapor deposited poly(p-xylylene) polymers used as moisture and dielectric barriers. Among them, Parylene C is the most popular due to its combination of barrier properties, cost, and other processing advantages.Parylene is green polymer chemistry. It is self-initiated (no initiator needed) and un-terminated (no termination group needed) with no solvent or catalyst required. The commonly used precursor, [2.2]paracyclophane, yields 100% monomer above 550 °C in vacuum and does not yield any by-products (Gorham Process). There is very little concern that parylene N will be 'over-cracked', meaning [2.2]paracyclophane is converted to p-xylylene cleanly with no side-reactions occurring. However, the same cannot be said for parylene C. The aryl-chlorine bond in dichloro[2.2]paracyclophane readily breaks at 680 °C (standard pyrolysis temperature); and therefore it is desirable to optimize each parylene tool in terms of its pyrolysis temperature using a mass spectrometer.There are alternative precursors to arrive at the parylene polymers, which possess leaving groups, the most popular using bromine to yield the parylene AF-4 polymer. However, bromine is corrosive towards most metals and metal alloys and Viton O-rings so it is difficult to work with and precautions are needed. More recently, a liquid precursor route was developed yielding parylene N using methoxy leaving group. Although [2.2]paracyclophane is already inexpensive, this precursor is much less expensive and it can delivered reliably using a mass-flow controller (MFC), a huge advantage for process control, which has been lacking for years with the standard Gorham process.Parylene C and to a lesser extent AF-4, SF, HT (all the same polymer) are used for coating printed circuit boards (PCBs) and medical devices. There are numerous other applications as parylene is an excellent moisture barrier. It is the most bio-accepted coating for stents, defibrillators, pacemakers and other devices permanently implanted into the body.Parylenes are relatively flexible (parylene N 0.5 GPa) except for cross-linked Parylene X (1.0 GPa) and they have poor oxidative resistance (~60-100 °C depending on failure criteria) and UV stability, except for Parylene AF-4. However, Parylene AF-4 is more expensive due to a three-step synthesis of its precursor with low yield and poor deposition efficiency. Their UV stability is so poor that parylene cannot be exposed to regular sunlight without yellowing.Nearly all the parylenes are insoluble at room temperature except for the alkylated parylenes, one of which is parylene E and the alkylated-ethynyl parylenes. This lack of solubility has made it difficult to re-work printed circuit boards coated with parylene.Parylenes thin-films and coatings are transparent; however, they are not amorphous except for the alkylated parylenes. As a result, of the coatings being semi-crystalline, they scatter light. Parylene N and C have a low degree of crystallinity; however, parylene VT-4 and AF-4 are highly crystalline ~60% in their as-deposited condition and therefore are generally not suitable as optical materials. Parylene C will become more crystalline if heated at elevated temperatures until its melting point at 270 °C. Parylene N has a monoclinic crystal structure in its as-deposited condition and it does not appreciably become more crystalline until it undergoes a crystallographic phase transformation at ~220 °C to hexagonal, at which point it becomes highly crystalline like the fluorinated parylenes. It can reach 80% crystallinity at anneal temperatures up to 400 °C, after which point it degrades. It is possible to attach a chromophore directly to the [2.2]paracyclophane base molecule to impart color to parylene. This is no easy task but an active area of research.Copolymers and nanocomposites (SiO2/parylene C) of parylene have been deposited at near-room temperature previously; and with strongly electron withdrawing comonomers, parylene can be used as an initiator to initiate polymerizations, such as with N-phenyl maleimide. Using the parylene C/SiO2 nanocomposites, parylene C could be used as a sacrificial layer to make nanoporous silica thin films with a porosity of >90%.
Q3389798 Saint Martin of Leon (Spanish: San Martín de León; c. 1130 – January 12, 1203) was a priest and canon regular of the Augustinian Order. Born at León, Martin, along with his father Juan, withdrew from the world to the canonry of St. Marcellinus in León after the death of his mother. Martin was educated at this canonry, and after the death of his father, Martin decided to undertake a major pilgrimage, visiting the cities of Rome and Constantinople.Returning to Spain, he took the religious habit at St. Marcellinus, but after seeing this monastery had been secularized by the bishops he entered the collegiate of church St. Isidore in the same city. This is a church he went on to endow and is where Saint Isidore was buried, hence its name.Martin distinguished himself by his zealous observance, his charity, and his deep devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The date of his death is given to us by the necrology preserved in the monastery. He died on January 12, 1203 of natural causes. The religious of St. Isidore's dedicated a chapel to Martin very early and celebrated his feast each year.

Q4562618 The 1930 Chatham Cup was the eighth annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.The competition was run on a regional basis, with five regional associations (Auckland, Wellington, Manawatu, Canterbury, and Otago) each holding separate qualifying rounds. In all, "almost 30 teams" took part.Teams taking part in the final rounds are known to have included Auckland Thistle (who defeated Auckland YMCA in the Auckland regional final), St. Andrews (Manawatu), Petone, and Western (Christchurch). Other teams known to have taken part include Wellington's Hospital AFC, Diamonds, and Waterside; Canterbury's Christchurch Thistle, Nomads, and Rangers; and Dunedin teams Port Chalmers and Northern.The previous season's winners, Tramways caused something of a sensation when they defaulted their first round match as a protest at having to play under floodlights. Further controversy was caused when the North Island final was awarded in to Petone by forfeiture in questionable circumstances.
