Q2289164 Frank Owen Dobson (18 November 1886 – 22 July 1963) was a British artist and sculptor. Dobson began as a painter, and his early work was influenced by cubism, vorticism, and futurism. After World War I, however, he turned increasingly toward sculpture in a more or less realist style. Throughout the 1920s and the early 1930s he built a reputation as an outstanding sculptor and was among the first in Britain to prefer direct carving of the material rather than modelling a maquette first. The simplified forms and flowing lines of much of his sculptures, particularly his female nudes, showed the influence of African art. From 1946 to 1953 Dobson was Professor of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1953. While Dobson was one of the most esteemed artists of his time, after his death his reputation declined with the move towards postmodernism and conceptual art. However, in recent years a revival has begun. Dobson is now seen as one of the most important British sculptors of the 20th century.

Q2475008 Agura (胡坐, lit., "foreign/barbarian sitting"; also called Anza 安座) is the Japanese term for the position normally referred to as sitting cross-legged in English. The buttocks are on the floor (or on a cushion set on the floor) and the legs are out in front, with the knees bent and each foot crossed beneath the other leg. In Japan, this posture is considered an informal alternative to the seiza (proper sitting) position for men. It is generally considered unfeminine and uncouth for women to sit in the agura position (mostly due to where the opening is in a premodern kimono, and women seldom wore undergarments; whereas, under certain circumstances, men could appear in public wearing only their undergarment, the fundoshi).

Q294234 Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (Russian: Трофи́м Дени́сович Лысе́нко, Ukrainian: Трохи́м Дени́сович Лисе́нко, Trokhym Denysovych Lysenko; 29 September [O.S. 17 September] 1898 – 20 November 1976) was a Soviet agronomist and biologist. As a student Lysenko found himself interested in agriculture, where he worked on a few different projects, one involving the effects of temperature variation on the life-cycle of plants. This later led him to consider how he might use this work to convert winter wheat into spring wheat. He named the process "jarovization" in Russian, and later translated it as "vernalization". Lysenko was a strong proponent of soft inheritance and rejected Mendelian genetics in favor of pseudoscientific ideas termed Lysenkoism.His experimental research in improved crop yields earned him the support of the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, especially following the famine and loss of productivity resulting from forced collectivization in several regions of the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. In 1940, Lysenko became director of the Institute of Genetics within the USSR's Academy of Sciences, and the exercise of political influence and power further secured his anti-Mendelian doctrines in Soviet science and education. Soviet scientists who refused to renounce genetics were dismissed from their posts and left destitute. Hundreds if not thousands of others were imprisoned. Several were sentenced to death as enemies of the state, including the botanist Nikolai Vavilov. Scientific dissent from Lysenko's theories of environmentally acquired inheritance was formally outlawed in the Soviet Union in 1948.Though Lysenko remained at his post in the Institute of Genetics until 1965, his influence on Soviet agricultural practice had declined after the death of Stalin in 1953.

Q787208 Automatic train operation (ATO) is an operational safety enhancement device used to help automate operations of trains. This is achieved according to the Grade of Automation (GoA) present, up to GoA 4 level, where the train is automatically controlled without the presence of staff on board. Mainly, it is used on automated guideway transits and rapid transit systems which are easier to ensure safety of humans. Most systems elect to maintain a driver (train operator) to mitigate risks associated with failures or emergencies.Many modern systems are linked with Automatic Train Control (ATC) and in many cases Automatic Train Protection (ATP) where normal signaller operations such as route setting and train regulation are carried out by the system. The ATO and ATC/ATP systems will work together to maintain a train within a defined tolerance of its timetable. The combined system will marginally adjust operating parameters such as the ratio of power to coast when moving and station dwell time, in order to bring a train back to the timetable slot defined for it.
Q516697 The Château de Compiègne is a French chateau, a royal residence built for Louis XV and restored by Napoleon. Compiègne was one of three seats of royal government, the others being Versailles and Fontainebleau. It is located in Compiègne in the Oise department and is open to the public.Even before the chateau was constructed, Compiègne was the preferred summer residence for French monarchs, primarily for hunting given its proximity to Compiègne Forest. The first royal residence was built in 1374 for Charles V, and a long procession of successors both visited it and modified it. Louis XIV resided in Compiègne some 75 times. Louis XV was perhaps even more favorably impressed; the Comte de Chevergny described his infatuation: "Hunting was his main passion... and Compiègne, with its immense forest, with its endless avenues amongst the trees, with its stretches down which you could ride all day and never come to the end, was the ideal place to indulge that passion."In 1750, prominent architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel proposed a thorough renovation of the chateau. Work began in 1751 and was finished in 1788 by Gabriel's student Le Dreux de La Châtre. The ancient town ramparts dictated the château's triangular plan; the resultant building covers about 5 acres (20,000 m2). It is Neoclassical in style, with simplicity and clarity governing both its external and interior features.During the French Revolution, the château passed into the jurisdiction of the Minister for the Interior. In 1795 all furniture was sold and its works of art were sent to the Muséum Central; it was essentially gutted. Napoleon visited in 1799 and again in 1803. In 1804 the château became an imperial domain and in 1807 he ordered it be made habitable again. Architects Berthault, Percier and Fontaine, decorators Dubois and Redouté, and cabinetmakers Jacob-Desmalter and Marcion restored the château. Its layout was altered, a ballroom added, and the garden was replanted and linked directly to the forest.The result is an example of First French Empire style (1808-1810), though some traces of the earlier décor survive. The writer Auguste Luchet remarked that "Compiègne speaks of Napoleon as Versailles does of Louis XIV". From 1856 on, Napoleon III and Eugénie made it their autumn residence, and redecorated some rooms in the Second Empire style.Today's visitors can find three distinct museums within the chateau: the apartments themselves; the Museum of the Second Empire; and the National Car Museum (Le Musée de la Voiture), founded in 1927, with a collection of carriages, bicycles, and automobiles.

Q831933 In mathematics and, specifically, real analysis, the Dini derivatives (or Dini derivates) are a class of generalizations of the derivative. They were introduced by Ulisse Dini who studied continuous but nondifferentiable functions, for which he defined the so-called Dini derivatives.The upper Dini derivative, which is also called an upper right-hand derivative, of a continuous function f : R → R , {\displaystyle f:{\mathbb {R} }\rightarrow {\mathbb {R} },} is denoted by f′+ and defined by f + ′ ( t ) ≜ lim sup h → 0 + f ( t + h ) − f ( t ) h , {\displaystyle f'_{+}(t)\triangleq \limsup _{h\to {0+}}{\frac {f(t+h)-f(t)}{h}},} where lim sup is the supremum limit and the limit is a one-sided limit. The lower Dini derivative, f′−, is defined by f − ′ ( t ) ≜ lim inf h → 0 + f ( t + h ) − f ( t ) h , {\displaystyle f'_{-}(t)\triangleq \liminf _{h\to {0+}}{\frac {f(t+h)-f(t)}{h}},} where lim inf is the infimum limit.If f is defined on a vector space, then the upper Dini derivative at t in the direction d is defined by f + ′ ( t , d ) ≜ lim sup h → 0 + f ( t + h d ) − f ( t ) h . {\displaystyle f'_{+}(t,d)\triangleq \limsup _{h\to {0+}}{\frac {f(t+hd)-f(t)}{h}}.} If f is locally Lipschitz, then f′+ is finite. If f is differentiable at t, then the Dini derivative at t is the usual derivative at t.

Q7503059 "Show Your Hand" is a song by Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals and was the first single from their 2007 album, Hey Venus!. The single was made available for download on 16 July 2007 as an iTunes exclusive and was later released in physical formats on 13 August in the UK. The track failed to penetrate the UK singles chart's Top 40, peaking at #46.According to lead singer Gruff Rhys the track is "a song about gambling" and was originally going to be left off Hey Venus! for being "too generic" before Rough Trade boss Geoff Travis persuaded the band to reconsider their decision. Critical reaction to the track was mixed with some reviewers claiming "Show Your Hand" was "ponderously mature" and "more like the generic pop songs one would find on the radio" while others hailed the track as "classic Furries".Unlike the two other singles taken from Hey Venus!, "Run-Away" and "The Gift That Keeps Giving", no music video was produced for "Show Your Hand".

Q2522978 In geometry, the metabiaugmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J60). It can be viewed as a dodecahedron with two pentagonal pyramids (J2) attached to two faces that are separated by one face. (The two faces are not opposite, but not adjacent either.) When pyramids are attached to a dodecahedron in other ways, they may result in an augmented dodecahedron, a parabiaugmented dodecahedron, a triaugmented dodecahedron, or even a pentakis dodecahedron if the faces are made to be irregular.A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that have regular faces but are not uniform (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.
Q2824588 The government of Detroit, Michigan is run by a mayor, the nine-member Detroit City Council, the eleven-member Board of Police Commissioners, and a clerk. All of these officers are elected on a nonpartisan ballot, with the exception of four of the police commissioners, who are appointer by the mayor. Detroit has a "strong mayoral" system, with the mayor approving departmental appointments. The council approves budgets, but the mayor is not obligated to adhere to any earmarking. The city clerk supervises elections and is formally charged with the maintenance of municipal records. City ordinances and substantially large contracts must be approved by the council.The 2012 Charter added political bodies to council districts called Community Advisory Councils. They are created by the circulation of petitions by residents.Municipal elections for mayor, city council and city clerk are held in years following presidential elections (such as 2013, 2017 and 2021).In 2018 the people of Detroit voted to revise the city charter, and elected a Charter Commission for that purpose. The revised charter could substantially change the structure of the government of Detroit if it is approved in the 2020 election.

Q5361549 Elisabeth Scott Bocock (February 3, 1901 - December 9, 1985) was born in Richmond, Virginia. She was one of five children. When Elisabeth was 6 years old, her parents, Elisabeth ("Elise") Strother Scott and Frederic Scott, built a home at 909 West Franklin Street in Richmond, VA. The family purchased the plot of land from the Lewis Ginter estate in 1907 and moved into the new construction in 1911. Today, The Scott House is owned by Virginia Commonwealth University and referred to as the VCU Scott House.The young Elisabeth Scott attended Miss Jennie Ellett's School (now St. Catherine's School, Richmond, Virginia) and graduated from St. Timothy's School in Stevenson, Maryland. In 1928, Elisabeth married John Holmes Bocock who was an attorney in Richmond. Mr. Bocock died in 1958.After her husband died, Mrs. Bocock enrolled in classes at the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women (Temple University). During the next decade, Mrs. Bocock attended classes at Mary Baldwin College, College of William and Mary, and the University of Virginia. She finished her schooling by receiving a liberal arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. In 1969, VCU’s first degree-granting year, Elisabeth Scott Bocock received the first diploma handed out at the commencement ceremony, a Bachelor of Arts in English.Later in life, Mrs. Bocock was recognized by multiple organizations for her contributions to the city of Richmond, its cultural life, and its people. Recognition came from VCU, the Junior League, and the Federated Arts Council, among others.Mrs. Bocock, a lover of arts and historic preservation, applied her money and talents to a variety of related causes. She was a founder of the Richmond Symphony (1957), the William Byrd Branch of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (Preservation Virginia), the Historic Richmond Foundation (1956), the Early Virginia Vehicular Museum (Carriage Collection, 1975), the Hand Workshop (Visual Arts Center of Richmond, 1963), and Richmond-on-the-James.Mrs. Bocock is credited with setting in motion Richmond's agenda for historic preservation. During her life, she collected at least 60 horse-drawn carriages and donated them to Maymont Foundation (Maymont Park) in 1975.Mrs. Bocock's obituary ran in the Richmond Times Dispatch on December 10, 1985. She was 84 years old at the time of her death on December 9, 1985: She was a member of the Historic Richmond Foundation's executive committee...and many of her projects were completed through the foundation. "She was sort of the preservation conscience of Richmond for so many years. She really started to turn the tide in Richmond as far as preservation was concerned," said Pam White, assistant director of the foundation.The following is an excerpt from an article about Mrs. Bocock's contributions to the city of Richmond, published on December 12, 1985 in the Richmond Times Dispatch:Evidences of her astonishing energy and civic mindedness are all around town. Along with the late Dr. Wyndham B. Blanton and others, she was a founder, in 1956, of the Historic Richmond Foundation, which was instrumental in revitalizing the Church Hill neighborhood around historic St. John's Church. Later, Mrs. Bocock would establish the Hand Workshop, a craftsmen's outlet, in that area. She also was a founder of the Maggie L. Walker Foundation, which has had a hand in preserving some of the distinctive structures in Jackson Ward.A more lengthy article was published in the Richmond Times Dispatch on December 16, 1985, and included the following excerpts, providing a sense of Mrs. Bocock's personality and philanthropy and including quotes from her two daughters, Mary Buford Hitz and Bessie Carter:While Mrs. Bocock was studying in Pennsylvania, she never missed one of her daughter's basketball games at St. Timothy's in Baltimore. "She had a little Japanese folding bicycle on which she would ride to the train station, fold it up, get on the train, catch a taxi in Baltimore, and then, after the game, reverse the process," Mrs. Hitz said.Her zeal for conservation prompted her to get a degree. Her desire, she once said, was "to teach, to write, or just to exude to my companions something knowledgeable about conservation that would persuade them to put out a few trees and have less poison gas. But I was standing on a twig. I needed the firm basis of an education.""Her passion," Mrs. Carter said, "was to be useful. She was nearly always late. She thought she could do five things for five people, when most people could only do for two -- and she usually got four of them done."
