FK Jonava

Football Club Jonava, previously (1996–2016) known as Football Club Lietava, is a Lithuanian professional football club based in Jonava. The club gained promotion to the A lyga as champions of the I Lyga in 2015, but were relegated from A Lyga in 2018.

History
The club was founded in 1991 as Azotas (after the name of the local Azotas fertilizer factory), the name Lietava was adopted in 1996.

For a number of years the club played in the second tier of the Lithuanian football championship. After successful 2015 season, Lietava won the I Lyga in 2015 and were promoted to the A lyga.

The 2016 debut season in the A Lyga Lietava finished in 5th position.

From the beginning of the 2017 season, Lietava changed its name to FK Jonava. On 13 February 2017 Lithuanian Football Federation approved the name change. The 2017 season was the best season for the club on record. The team took 6th place in the regular A Lyga season, and finished in the 4th position after the championship round.

For 2018 season club management had ambitious plans. On 11 January 2018, Felipe Ribeiro from Portugal started in a position of the new head coach. But the club ran into problems and on 15 May 2018, the coach was let go. Soon the head coach changed again. The third coach in one season could not save the team from relegation. After the regular season the team took 8th position and ended its spell in the A lyga.

In 2022 was promoted to A Lyga.

Trotters, North Dakota

Trotters is an unincorporated community in Golden Valley County, North Dakota, United States. Trotters is located on North Dakota Highway 16, 28.3 mi north of Beach. The community did not receive telephone service until 1972, and Highway 16, its only road, was paved in the 1980s.

Name
Trotters was named after Francis Leighton Trotter (surname sometimes Trotters, 1865–1908), who served as the first postmaster in the community. Trotter carried mail from Wibaux, Montana for a year without pay in order to establish the post office.

History
Leonard Hall, who moved to Trotters in 1956, was the town's only resident for much of the twentieth century. Hall was the postmaster of the Trotters post office, which opened in 1904 and served area ranchers as far as 28 mi away from Trotters, as few other post offices operated in the region. The post office also served as the town's grocery store and gas station, and Hall lived in the back of the building. Two other buildings, a disused church and an empty abandoned structure, also stood in the town. The post office closed in 1995 when Hall's poor health caused him to retire as postmaster.

Climate
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Trotters has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.

Graham–Cassidy health care amendment

Graham–Cassidy (sometimes written as Cassidy–Graham ) or Graham–Cassidy–Heller–Johnson is the common name for Senate Amendment 1030 to the American Health Care Act of 2017. S.Amdt. 1030 was introduced on September 13, 2017, sponsored by Lindsey Graham (R-SC), with Bill Cassidy (R-LA) as a co-sponsor, after whom the amendment is named. The other three co-sponsors are Dean Heller (R-NV), Ron Johnson (R-WI), and Roy Blunt (R-MO). The amendment would repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. It would also return control of the Medicaid program to the states and cap the program's funding. The amendment would also redistribute federal money differently to different states, with some states that expanded Medicaid under the ACA (which are generally Democratic) losing federal money to states that did not (which are generally Republican).

In May 2017, late night comedy host Jimmy Kimmel shared with his audience that his son was born with tetralogy of Fallot, a birth defect of the heart. Shortly after, Cassidy began claiming that he wanted any health care bill to pass what he dubbed the "Jimmy Kimmel test," which he defined as "would a child born with congenital heart disease be able to get everything he or she would need in that first year of life?" Most analysts of the bill stated that this bill violated the test, which led Kimmel to condemn it on his show and urge his viewers to contact their representatives to oppose it.

On September 26, 2017, Politico reported that Republican leadership in the Senate had decided not to put the bill up for a floor vote.

Support for the amendment
Several senators were asked to explain why they support the Graham–Cassidy amendment.
 * Ted Cruz (R-TX): "... the heart of the legislation takes the policymaking role of Washington and sends it to the states. It lets state innovate and adopt creative solutions to local problems, which vary state by state. [...] And what I think is critical for Obamacare repeal is that we expand consumer freedom so that you, the consumer, can be in charge of what health insurance you want to buy, and we lower premiums so that health insurance is more affordable."
 * Chuck Grassley (R-IA): "... Republicans have promised for seven years that we were going to correct all the things that were wrong with Obamacare, and we failed the first eight months. This is the last attempt to do what we promised in the election."
 * Jim Inhofe (R-OK): "I think the efficiencies that come with transferring the funding to the states can very well make up the difference between what the federal thing would be. [...] I mean it's more efficient when it's done from the states, and so they can do it with less money."
 * Pat Roberts (R-KS): "Look, we're in the back seat of a convertible being driven by Thelma and Louise, and we're headed toward the canyon. [...] So we have to get out of the car, and you have to have a car to get into, and this is the only car there is."

Opposition to the amendment
The New York Times reported that Democratic Senators were united in opposition to the Graham–Cassidy amendment.

Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and John McCain (R-AZ) published statements stating their intention to vote against the bill. McCain's opposition reportedly left Republican leaders with "little hope" of getting the bill passed. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) indicated they are unlikely to support the bill. Cruz speculated that Mike Lee (R-UT) is unlikely to vote for the bill. On September 25, 2017, Collins officially came out in opposition to the bill, effectively eliminating any chance of it passing the Senate.

Groups opposing the bill include the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, America’s Health Insurance Plans, American Medical Association, American Hospital Association, AARP, American Cancer Society, ALS Association, American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, Arthritis Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Family Voices, JDRF, Lutheran Services in America, March of Dimes, National Health Council, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, National Organization for Rare Disorders, Volunteers of America, and WomenHeart.

Sampling some of the opposition points, AARP said that the bill was bad for older adults and people with preexisting conditions, that "[the bill] would undermine critical consumer protections, making health insurance coverage unaffordable and denying people with health conditions the care they need" and that older Americans' annual costs could rise by $16,000.

LSAT Prep Guide

The LSAT is Learnable
The first thing to understand about the LSAT is that you can prepare for it by honing the mental skills required by the exam as well as becoming familiar with the format of the test. Many people think that since it is an aptitude test, it is largely a matter of innate ability. Granted, some innate ability is necessary to get a perfect score on the LSAT, but many with sufficient ability will get lower scores because they do not prepare effectively.

This is not to say that learning the LSAT is easy. However, with sufficient time and effort, most students are able to learn the skills necessary to significantly increase their LSAT score.

Attack the Analytical Section First
'''Note: the analytical section has become significantly easier since the writing of the instructions below. It is no longer nearly as highly timed, i.e., there tend to be fewer problems than there were five years ago.'''

Basically, you should understand that if you attack the analytical section in your preparation, then the logical reasoning section should follow easily. The reading comprehension section will come to you easily as well, so long as you are a fast reader. If you are a slow reader (as I was a few years ago), then you will need to do some deliberate practice in your reading in order to improve.

In order to beat the analytical section, you need to see the differences between the types of questions that occur repeatedly. Some of the questions involve ordering, others involve pigeonholing, others both of these at once. Usually, expressing the rule system in a diagram is essential to solving the problem quickly. A pigeonholing problem usually implies a grid diagram, with a spot for each possible assignment of variables. Ordering usually involves a 1 by X grid, with the ordering rules expressed (in shorthand) alongside the grid. In a hybrid game, you will have the X by Y grid along with ordering rules expressed in shorthand.

If you immediately see some further implications of a rule set, then you should express them immediately in shorthand along with the given rules. For instance, if the rules say: John always must go before Sarah Sarah must go with Martin Ralph goes after Martin then you should write out that John must go before Ralph in some form of shorthand. This example is very simple, but the LSAT questions will often give you something more complex which results in some implications that are key to solving the problem set quickly. The reason you should take a moment to write out these implications is that you will solve five or six problems, not just one, under these rules. You want to work out the intricacies just once, write them down, and then refer to your shorthand as you proceed.

Because the analytical section is highly timed, if you see an answer that appears absolutely correct before you've read all alternatives, I recommend you just circle it and move on. Often, if this is not the last problem in the section, you will recognize any possibility of error later, as you work out the other problems. It generally seems that the harder questions come toward the end of the section.

Analytical Section Game Types
The game section consists of several different types of games. The linear, grouping and linear/grouping hybrid games are by far the most common. By one analysis, they make up 75% of all the released LSAT games. You must master these two types thoroughly because they are going to appear on your test for certain.

Linear
Also, known as ranking, the game asks you to arrange different elements in a certain order. Here, the order is important. Let's look at one example. Simple Linear Game During Wikimania 2007 conference, the seven participants, Albert, Bart, Ciara, Don, Ellen, Fred and Greg signed the guestbook consecutively.

Albert signed the guestbook before Greg. Greg signed neither first nor last. Ciara signed either before or after Bart. Fred signed second.

Grouping
Unlike the linear (ranking) games, grouping games do not specify the order of the elements. In these games, how the elements are paired is what matters.

General Method of Preparation
You may or may not wish to buy a "Study Guide" book. I've recommended Master the LSAT for that purpose. But what is essential is that you obtain some of the official PrepTests. If you have thirty days to prepare, buy at least twenty PrepTests, and start working on them immediately.

At first, you must work untimed. The time factor would otherwise distract you from your ability to understand and solve the problems. You must also keep records of which problems you missed, and keep them with the idea that you will be reviewing these particular problems very intensely toward the end of your preparation. You will be looking for patterns in the problems you missed throughout all your tests. Granted, the questions you miss early on will be less relevant than the ones you still miss toward the end of your preparation.

You can get one official PrepTest for free from the LSAT website. You may wish to take this first test under simulated test conditions, just for the sake of gauging how much improvement you make over the study phase. In any case, you want to answer all the questions and see how many you got right (timed or not).

At first, instant feedback on a problem is better than feedback on the whole section after you've completed it. You don't want to go on solving more problems if you're unsure whether you understood, for example, #1. In this case just make sure you have the solutions to #2 and later covered up (credit card works nicely), then check the solution to #1 and move on (if you got it right). If you got it wrong, classify your mistake, (don't get too upset about it), and move on to #2. When you've finished the section in this manner, give an honest assessment of how many you missed, and then give an accurate assessment of why you missed each problem. You should find a surprising number of misread mistakes. Generally, this problem is corrected as you take more PrepTests, and get better at noticing when a problem says, for example, "all of these are true EXCEPT," versus "all of these are true:".

Other types of mistakes may reflect genuine misunderstanding, or a rift between your thinking and that of the test-makers. In the end, in my opinion, what makes LSAT questions answerable is that the test-makers picked an answer. It has nothing to do with actual truth (except in AR). They generally follow rules of logic, but in the end some questions are misphrased. Fortunately, you can learn enough about the test writers, through taking their official tests, that you can distinguish between their traps and their solutions.

If your mistakes were due to genuine misunderstanding, then you need to review the basics. For instance, in Logical Reasoning, you must understand the rules of logic impeccably. The same is true for Reading Comprehension and Analytical Reasoning, but these two have other issues surrounding just the application of logic, (reading quickly and diagramming, respectively).

At least have your problems classified before you attempt another test. At best, go and remediate any major problems before attempting another. But eventually, do move on to another exam. For the second and third test it is still okay to be taking them untimed. By the fourth test, you should definitely be able to take the Logical Reasoning section under a timer and complete it. The Reading Comprehension will either be right with your Logical Reasoning or behind it.

Every aspect of the test is improvable. And every aspect of the test evaluates your ability to make logical deductions and (in the case of Logical reasoning) figure out logical flaws. Contrary to popular opinion, the Reading Comprehension section is most definitely improvable. It is a question of figuring out the way the different points were explicated and proven to you through the passage. It's like reading one big (and slightly less challenging) Logical Reasoning passage. If you do enough of these, you will eventually max this section out.

Another misconception is the hardness of the Analytical Reasoning. It is by far the section you can improve the fastest on. All it requires is several months of diligent games practice and understanding how certain groups of games are similar to others and how they connect with respect to deductions.

Understanding the Basics of Logical Reasoning
If you want to get a score higher than 160, then you have to have a basic understanding of logical reasoning. An argument contains premises and conclusions. Think of premises as the evidence upon which the conclusion is made. The conclusion is the specific point that you are trying to make. For example, take the simple argument: Jenny must not like apples, because I've never seen her eat one. The premise: I've never seen her eat one, and the conclusion: Jenny must not like apples.

Another part of an argument are assumptions. Assumptions are simply unstated premises. They have to be true in order for the conclusion to be true. Think of an argument as a table. The legs of the table would be the premises and assumptions and the table top would be the conclusion. The conclusion rests upon the premises. This is true of all simple arguments.

Finding the conclusion in each stimulus is important. Most of the questions on the Logical Reasoning will have some effect on the conclusion. On the LSAT, some questions will contain conclusion indicators. Not all questions in the Logical Reasoning section will have conclusion indicators, especially Main Point questions. There are also premise indicators. Make sure to memorize the following lists.

On Test Day
There is a lot of basic and very true test advice out there. Don't drink alcohol in the days leading up to the LSAT. Get a good night's rest. Eat a healthful breakfast. Drink a little coffee if you need to. Don't drink too much coffee. Bring a snack to keep the brain active. Common sense stuff, but it counts.

Digital devices are not allowed, but analog watches can be used. The best way to use a watch is to adjust the minute hand and point it at the 12. When it reaches the 7, your time should be up.

On the LSAT, you can cancel your score before you hand in the test if something went wrong. They also allow you to cancel your score by mail. If you finish taking the exam and do not feel comfortable with your performance, it is recommended that you take a day or two to sleep on your cancellation decision rather than canceling your score before you hand in the exam and regretting the decision later. If you ultimately decide to cancel your score my mail, ensure that you send your cancellation request via overnight mail, and retain documentation of the correspondence and tracking information.

"LSAC recommends that you keep proof that your score cancellation request was received by LSAC by the six-calendar-day deadline, as well as a photocopy of your score cancellation request. If you cancel your score, you will not receive a score or copy of your answer sheet. You will receive written notification of a score cancellation and, if you took a disclosed test, you will receive a copy of the test questions and the credited responses for the scored sections as well. Law school reports will reflect that your score was canceled at your request; this advises the law schools that you were exposed to test questions. There are no refunds for canceled scores. Valid score cancellation requests are irreversible and cannot be rescinded."

Additionally, know that you will be taking an extra, experimental section on test day, which is ungraded. However, they will not tell you which section is experimental, so it is imperative that you take each section seriously. The experimental section is used to try out new questions for use on future exams. The additional time required to complete the 4 graded sections of the LSAT along with an additional experimental section and writing sample can be exhausting for unprepared test-takers. Consider occasionally adding a 5th section to your LSAT prep tests to simulate the experimental section and build up your stamina for test day.

Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer

Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE, observatory code C51, Explorer 92 and MIDEX-6) is a NASA infrared astronomy space telescope in the Explorers Program launched in December 2009. WISE discovered thousands of minor planets and numerous star clusters. Its observations also supported the discovery of the first Y-type brown dwarf and Earth trojan asteroid. WISE performed an all-sky astronomical survey with images in 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 μm wavelength range bands, over ten months using a 40 cm diameter infrared telescope in Earth orbit.

After its solid hydrogen coolant depleted, it was placed in hibernation mode in February 2011. In 2013, NASA reactivated the WISE telescope to search for near-Earth objects (NEO), such as comets and asteroids, that could collide with Earth. The reactivation mission was called Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE). As of August 2023, NEOWISE is 40% through the 20th coverage of the full sky.

Science operations and data processing for WISE and NEOWISE take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The WISE All-Sky (WISEA) data, including processed images, source catalogs and raw data, was released to the public on 14 March 2012, and is available at the Infrared Science Archive.

The NEOWISE mission is expected to end in early 2025; further, the satellite is expected to reenter some time after.

Mission goals
The mission was planned to create infrared images of 99% of the sky, with at least eight images made of each position on the sky in order to increase accuracy. The spacecraft was placed in a 525 km, circular, polar, Sun-synchronous orbit for its ten-month mission, during which it has taken 1.5 million images, one every 11 seconds. The satellite orbited above the terminator, its telescope pointing always to the opposite direction to the Earth, except for pointing towards the Moon, which was avoided, and its solar cells towards the Sun. Each image covers a 47 arcminute field of view (FoV), which means a 6 arcsecond resolution. Each area of the sky was scanned at least 10 times at the equator; the poles were scanned at theoretically every revolution due to the overlapping of the images. The produced image library contains data on the local Solar System, the Milky Way, and the more distant Universe. Among the objects WISE studied are asteroids, cool and dim stars such as brown dwarfs, and the most luminous infrared galaxies.

Targets within the Solar System
WISE was not able to detect Kuiper belt objects, because their temperatures are too low. Pluto is the only Kuiper belt object that was detected. It was able to detect any objects warmer than 70–100 K. A Neptune-sized object would be detectable out to 700 Astronomical unit (AU), a Jupiter mass object out to 1 light year (63,000 AU), where it would still be within the Sun's zone of gravitational control. A larger object of 2–3 Jupiter masses would be visible at a distance of up to 7–10 light years.

At the time of planning, it was estimated that WISE would detect about 300,000 main-belt asteroids, of which approximately 100,000 will be new, and some 700 Near-Earth objects (NEO) including about 300 undiscovered. That translates to about 1000 new main-belt asteroids per day, and 1–3 NEOs per day. The peak of magnitude distribution for NEOs will be about 21–22 V. WISE would detect each typical Solar System object 10–12 times over about 36 hours in intervals of 3 hours.

Targets outside the Solar System
Star formation, which are covered by interstellar dust, are detectable in infrared, since at this wavelength electromagnetic radiation can penetrate the dust. Infrared measurements from the WISE astronomical survey have been particularly effective at unveiling previously undiscovered star clusters. Examples of such embedded star clusters are Camargo 18, Camargo 440, Majaess 101, and Majaess 116. In addition, galaxies of the young Universe and interacting galaxies, where star formation is intensive, are bright in infrared. On this wavelength the interstellar gas clouds are also detectable, as well as proto-planetary discs. WISE satellite was expected to find at least 1,000 of those proto-planetary discs.

Spacecraft
The WISE satellite bus was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies in Boulder, Colorado. The spacecraft is derived from the Ball Aerospace & Technologies RS-300 spacecraft architecture, particularly the NEXTSat spacecraft built for the successful Orbital Express mission launched on 9 March 2007. The flight system has an estimated mass of 560 kg. The spacecraft is three-axis stabilized, with body-fixed solar arrays. It uses a high-gain antenna in the Ku-band to transmit to the ground through the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) geostationary system. Ball also performed the testing and flight system integration.

Telescope
Construction of the WISE telescope was divided between Ball Aerospace & Technologies (spacecraft, operations support), SSG Precision Optronics, Inc. (telescope, optics, scan mirror), DRS Technologies and Rockwell International (focal planes), Lockheed Martin (cryostat, cooling for the telescope), and Space Dynamics Laboratory (instruments, electronics, and testing). The program was managed through the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The WISE instrument was built by the Space Dynamics Laboratory in Logan, Utah.

Mission

WISE surveyed the sky in four wavelengths of the infrared band, at a very high sensitivity. Its design specified as goals that the full sky atlas of stacked images it produced have 5-sigma sensitivity limits of 120, 160, 650, and 2600 microjanskies (μJy) at 3.3, 4.7, 12, and 23 μm (aka microns). WISE achieved at least 68, 98, 860, and 5400 μJy; 5 sigma sensitivity at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 μm for the WISE All-Sky data release. This is a factor of 1,000 times better sensitivity than the survey completed in 1983 by the IRAS satellite in the 12 and 23 μm bands, and a factor of 500,000 times better than the 1990s survey by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite at 3.3 and 4.7 μm. On the other hand, IRAS could also observe 60 and 100 μm wavelengths.

 * Band 1 – 3.4 μm (micrometre) – broad-band sensitivity to stars and galaxies
 * Band 2 – 4.6 μm – detect thermal radiation from the internal heat sources of sub-stellar objects like brown dwarfs
 * Band 3 – 12 μm – detect thermal radiation from asteroids
 * Band 4 – 22 μm – sensitivity to dust in star-forming regions (material with temperatures of 70–100 kelvins)

The primary mission lasted 10 months: one month for checkout, six months for a full-sky survey, then an additional three months of survey until cryogenic coolant (which kept the instruments at 17 K) ran out. The partial second survey pass facilitated the study of changes (e.g. orbital movement) in observed objects.

Congressional hearing - November 2007
On 8 November 2007, the House Committee on Science and Technology's Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics held a hearing to examine the status of NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) survey program. The prospect of using WISE was proposed by NASA officials.

NASA officials told Committee staff that NASA plans to use WISE to detect [near-Earth objects in addition to performing its science goals. It was projected that WISE could detect 400 NEOs (or roughly 2% of the estimated NEO population of interest) within its one-year mission.

Results
By October 2010, over 33,500 new asteroids and comets were discovered, and nearly 154,000 Solar System objects had been observed by WISE.

Discovery of an ultra-cool brown dwarf, WISEPC J045853.90+643451.9, about 10~30 light years away from Earth, was announced in late 2010 based on early data. In July 2011, it was announced that WISE had discovered the first Earth trojan asteroid,. Also, the third-closest star system, Luhman 16.

As of May 2018, WISE / NEOWISE has also discovered 290 near-Earth objects and comets (see section below).

Project milestones
The WISE mission is led by Edward L. Wright of the University of California, Los Angeles. The mission has a long history under Wright's efforts and was first funded by NASA in 1999 as a candidate for a NASA Medium-class Explorer (MIDEX) mission under the name Next Generation Sky Survey (NGSS). The history of the program from 1999 to date is briefly summarized as follows:
 * January 1999 — NGSS is one of five missions selected for a Phase A study, with an expected selection in late 1999 of two of these five missions for construction and launch, one in 2003 and another in 2004. Mission cost is estimated at US$139 million at this time.
 * March 1999 — WIRE infrared telescope spacecraft fails within hours of reaching orbit.
 * October 1999 — Winners of MIDEX study are awarded, and NGSS is not selected.
 * October 2001 — NGSS proposal is re-submitted to NASA as a MIDEX mission.
 * April 2002 — NGSS proposal is accepted by the NASA Explorer office to proceed as one of four MIDEX programs for a Pre-Phase A study.
 * December 2002 — NGSS changes its name to Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
 * March 2003 — NASA releases a press release announcing WISE has been selected for an Extended Phase-A study, leading to a decision in 2004 on whether to proceed with the development of the mission.
 * April 2003 — Ball Aerospace & Technologies is selected as the spacecraft provider for the WISE mission.
 * April 2004 — WISE is selected as NASA's next MIDEX mission. WISE's cost is estimated at US$208 million at this time.
 * November 2004 — NASA selects the Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University to build the telescope for WISE.
 * October 2006 — WISE is confirmed for development by NASA and authorized to proceed with development. Mission cost at this time is estimated to be US$300 million.

 * 14 December 2009 — WISE successfully launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
 * 29 December 2009 — WISE successfully jettisoned instrument cover.
 * 6 January 2010 — WISE first light image released.
 * 14 January 2010 — WISE begins its regular four wavelength survey scheduled for nine months duration. It is expected to cover 99% of the sky with overlapping images in the first 6 months and continuing with a second pass until the hydrogen coolant is exhausted about three months later.
 * 25 January 2010 — WISE detects a never-before-seen near Earth asteroid, designated 2010 AB78.
 * 11 February 2010 — WISE detects a previously unknown comet, designated P/2010 B2 (WISE).
 * 25 February 2010 — WISE website reports it has surveyed over 25% of the sky to a depth of 7 overlapping image frames.
 * 10 April 2010 — WISE website reports it has surveyed over 50% of the sky to a depth of 7 overlapping image frames.
 * 26 May 2010 — WISE website reports it has surveyed over 75% of the sky to a depth of 7 overlapping image frames.
 * 16 July 2010 — Press release announces that 100% sky coverage will be completed on 17 July 2010. About half of the sky will be mapped again before the instrument's block of solid hydrogen coolant sublimes and is exhausted.
 * October 2010 — WISE hydrogen coolant runs out. Start of NASA Planetary Division funded NEOWISE mission.
 * January 2011 — Entire sky surveyed to an image density of at least 16+ frames (i.e. second scan of sky completed).

Hibernation
 * 17 February 2011 — WISE Spacecraft transmitter turned off at 20:00 UTC by principal investigator Ned Wright. The spacecraft will remain in hibernation without ground contacts awaiting possible future use.

 * 14 April 2011 — Preliminary release of data covering 57% of the sky as seen by WISE.
 * 27 July 2011 — First Earth trojan asteroid discovered from WISE data.
 * 23 August 2011 — WISE confirms the existence of a new class of brown dwarf, the Y dwarf. Some of these stars appear to have temperatures less than 300 K, close to room temperature at about 25 °C. Y dwarfs show ammonia absorption, in addition to methane and water absorption bands displayed by T dwarfs.
 * 14 March 2012 — Release of the WISE All-Sky data to the scientific community.

 * 7 March 2014 — NASA reports that WISE, after an exhaustive survey, has not been able to uncover any evidence of "planet X", a hypothesized planet within the Solar System.
 * 26 April 2014 — The Penn State Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds reports that WISE has found the coldest known brown dwarf, between −48 °C and −13 °C, 7.2 light years away from the Sun.
 * 21 May 2015 — NASA reports the discovery of WISE J224607.57-052635.0, the most luminous known galaxy in the Universe.

Launch
The launch of the Delta II launch vehicle carrying the WISE spacecraft was originally scheduled for 11 December 2009. This attempt was scrubbed to correct a problem with a booster rocket steering engine. The launch was then rescheduled for 14 December 2009. The second attempt launched on time at 14:09:33 UTC from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch vehicle successfully placed the WISE spacecraft into the planned polar orbit at an altitude of 525 km above the Earth.

WISE avoided the problem that affected Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE), which failed within hours of reaching orbit in March 1999. In addition, WISE was 1,000 times more sensitive than prior surveys such as IRAS, AKARI, and COBE's DIRBE.

"Cold" mission
A month-long checkout after launch found all spacecraft systems functioning normally and both the low- and high-rate data links to the operations center working properly. The instrument cover was successfully jettisoned on 29 December 2009. A first light image was released on 6 January 2010: an eight-second exposure in the Carina constellation showing infrared light in false color from three of WISE's four wavelength bands: Blue, green and red corresponding to 3.4, 4.6, and 12 μm, respectively. On 14 January 2010, the WISE mission started its official sky survey.

The WISE group's bid for continued funding for an extended "warm mission" scored low by a NASA review board, in part because of a lack of outside groups publishing on WISE data. Such a mission would have allowed use of the 3.4 and 4.6 μm detectors after the last of cryo-coolant had been exhausted, with the goal of completing a second sky survey to detect additional objects and obtain parallax data on putative brown dwarf stars. NASA extended the mission in October 2010 to search for near-Earth objects (NEO).

By October 2010, over 33,500 new asteroids and comets were discovered, and over 154,000 Solar System objects were observed by WISE. While active it found dozens of previously unknown asteroids every day. In total, it captured more than 2.7 million images during its primary mission.

NEOWISE (pre-hibernation)

In October 2010, NASA extended the mission by one month with a program called Near-Earth Object WISE (NEOWISE). Due to its success, the program was extended a further three months. The focus was to look for asteroids and comets close to Earth orbit, using the remaining post-cryogenic detection capability (two of four detectors on WISE work without cryogenic). In February 2011, NASA announced that NEOWISE had discovered many new objects in the Solar System, including twenty comets. During its primary and extended missions, the spacecraft delivered characterizations of 158,000 minor planets, including more than 35,000 newly discovered objects.

Hibernation and recommissioning
After completing a full scan of the asteroid belt for the NEOWISE mission, the spacecraft was put into hibernation on 1 February 2011. The spacecraft was briefly contacted to check its status on 20 September 2012.

On 21 August 2013, NASA announced it would recommission NEOWISE to continue its search for near-Earth objects (NEO) and potentially dangerous asteroids. It would additionally search for asteroids that a robotic spacecraft could intercept and redirect to orbit the Moon. The extended mission would be for three years at a cost of US$5 million per year, and was brought about in part due to calls for NASA to step up asteroid detection after the Chelyabinsk meteor exploded over Russia in February 2013.

NEOWISE was successfully taken out of hibernation in September 2013. With its coolant depleted, the spacecraft's temperature was reduced from 200 K — a relatively high temperature resulting from its hibernation — to an operating temperature of 75 K by having the telescope stare into deep space. Its instruments were then re-calibrated, and the first post-hibernation photograph was taken on 19 December 2013.

NEOWISE (post-hibernation)

The post-hibernation NEOWISE mission was anticipated to discover 150 previously unknown near-Earth objects and to learn more about the characteristics of 2,000 known asteroids. Few objects smaller than 100 m in diameter were detected by NEOWISE's automated detection software, known as the WISE Moving Object Processing Software (WMOPS), because it requires five or more detections to be reported. The average albedo of asteroids larger than 100 m discovered by NEOWISE is 0.14.

The telescope was turned on again in 2013, and by December 2013 the telescope had cooled down sufficiently to be able to resume observations. Between then and May 2017, the telescope made almost 640,000 detections of over 26,000 previously known objects including asteroids and comets. In addition, it discovered 416 new objects and about a quarter of those were near-Earth objects classification.

As of May 2018, WISE / NEOWISE statistics lists a total of 290 near-Earth objects (NEOs), including and, discovered by the spacecraft:
 * 262 NEAs (subset of NEOs)
 * 47 PHAs (subset of NEAs)
 * 28 comets

Of the 262 near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), 47 of them are considered potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs), a subset of the much larger family of NEOs, but particularly more likely to hit Earth and cause significant destruction. NEOs can be divided into NECs (comets only) and NEAs (asteroids only), and further into subcategories such as Atira asteroids, Aten asteroids, Apollo asteroids, Amor asteroids and the potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs).

NEOWISE has provided an estimate of the size of over 1,850 near-Earth objects. NEOWISE mission was extended for two more years (1 July 2021 – 30 June 2023).

NEOWISE's replacement, the next-generation NEO Surveyor, is scheduled to launch in 2028, and will greatly expand on what humans have learned, and continue to learn, from NEOWISE.

"As of August 2023 NEOWISE is 40% through the 20th coverage of the full sky since the start of the Reactivation mission."

Expected end of mission
On December 13, 2023, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), announced that the satellite would enter a low orbit causing it to be unusable by early-2025. Increased solar activity as the sun approaches solar maximum during Solar cycle 25 is expected to increase atmospheric drag causing orbital decay. The satellite is expected to subsequently reenter the earth's atmosphere.

Data releases
On 14 April 2011, a preliminary release of WISE data was made public, covering 57% of the sky observed by the spacecraft. On 14 March 2012, a new atlas and catalog of the entire infrared sky as imaged by WISE was released to the astronomic community. On 31 July 2012, NEOWISE Post-Cryo Preliminary Data was released. A release called AllWISE, combining all data, was released on 13 November 2013. NEOWISE data is released annually.

The WISE data include diameter estimates of intermediate precision, better than from an assumed albedo but not nearly as precise as good direct measurements, can be obtained from the combination of reflected light and thermal infrared emission, using a thermal model of the asteroid to estimate both its diameter and its albedo. In May 2016, technologist Nathan Myhrvold questioned the precision of the diameters and claimed systemic errors arising from the spacecraft's design. The original version of his criticism itself faced criticism for its methodology and did not pass peer review, but a revised version was subsequently published. The same year, an analysis of 100 asteroids by an independent group of astronomers gave results consistent with the original WISE analysis.

unWISE and CatWISE

The Allwise co-added images were intentionally blurred, which is optimal for detecting isolated point sources. This has the disadvantage that many sources are not detected in crowded regions. The unofficial, unblurred coadds of the WISE imaging (unWISE) creates sharp images and masks defects and transients. unWISE coadded images can be searched by coordinates on the unWISE website. unWISE images are used for the citizen science projects Disk Detective and Backyard Worlds.

In 2019, a preliminary catalog was released. The catalog is called CatWISE. This catalog combines the WISE and NEOWISE data and provides photometry at 3.4 and 4.6 μm. It uses the unWISE images and the Allwise pipeline to detect sources. CatWISE includes fainter sources and far more accurate measurement of the motion of objects. The catalog is used to extend the number of discovered brown dwarfs, especially the cold and faint Y dwarfs. CatWISE is led by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology, with funding from NASA's Astrophysics Data Analysis Program. The CatWISE preliminary catalog can be accessed through Infrared Science Archive (IRSA).

Discovered objects

In addition to numerous comets and minor planets, WISE and NEOWISE discovered many brown dwarfs, some just a few light years from the solar system; the first Earth trojan; and the most luminous galaxies in the universe.

Nearby stars
Nearby stars discovered using WISE within 30 light years:

Brown dwarfs
The nearest brown dwarfs discovered by WISE within 20 light-years include:

Before the discovery of Luhman 16 in 2013, WISE 1506+7027 at a distance of $11.1$ light-years was suspected to be closest brown dwarf on the list of nearest stars (also see ).

Directly-imaged exoplanets
Directly imaged exoplanets first detected with WISE. See Definition of exoplanets: IAU working definition as of 2018 requires Mplanet ≤ 13 and Mplanet/Mcentral < 0.04006. Mmin and Mmax are the lower and upper mass limit of the planet in Jupiter masses.

Disks and young stars
The sensitivity of WISE in the infrared enabled the discovery of disk around young stars and old white dwarf systems. These discoveries usually require a combination of optical, near infrared and WISE or Spitzer mid-infrared observations. Examples are the red dwarf WISE J080822.18-644357.3, the brown dwarf WISEA J120037.79-784508.3 and the white dwarf LSPM J0207+3331. The NASA citizen science project Disk Detective is using WISE data. Additionally researchers used NEOWISE to discover erupting young stellar objects.

Nebulae
Researchers discovered a few nebulae using WISE. Such as the type Iax remnant Pa 30. Nebulae around the massive B-type stars BD+60° 2668 and ALS 19653, an obscured shell around the Wolf-Rayet star WR 35 and a halo around the Helix Nebula, a planetary nebula were also discovered with WISE.

Extragalactic discoveries
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be identified from their mid-infrared color. One work used for example a combination of Gaia and unWISE data to identify AGNs. Luminous infrared galaxies can be detected in the infrared. One study used SDSS and WISE to identify such galaxies. NEOWISE observed the entire sky for more than 10 years and can be used to find transient events. Some of these discovered transients are Tidal Disruption Events (TDE) in galaxies and infrared detection of supernovae similar to SN 2010jl.

Minor planets

WISE is credited with discovering 3,088 numbered minor planets. Examples of the mission's numbered minor planet discoveries include:

Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)
On 27 March 2020, the comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was discovered by the WISE spacecraft. It eventually became a naked-eye comet and was widely photographed by professional and amateur astronomers. It was the brightest comet visible in the northern hemisphere since comet Hale-Bopp in 1997.

Richmond McCoy

Prominent real estate executive Richmond McCoy was born to a large family in 1954, in upstate New York, and grew up in a rural area where his parents owned a dairy farm. His father also owned several apartment buildings in Harlem, and young Richmond often accompanied him to collect rent, sewing the seeds of his interest in real estate early on. When he was a teenager, McCoy's father died suddenly leaving his mother and his siblings to fend for themselves. After graduating from high school, McCoy left for the West Coast where he sold encyclopedias. ��After returning to New York and pursuing sales and other opportunities, McCoy decided to pursue a career in commercial real estate obtaining his license in 1979. In 1984, McCoy embarked on his first entrepreneurial venture when he became one of the founding partners of Richard Sykes & Partners. There, McCoy widened his base of knowledge by doing transactions throughout the United States. In 1991, seeing a possible niche, McCoy set up his own firm, the R.M.C. Group, to provide corporate real estate services to major companies that wanted to work with minority-owned enterprises. By 1993, McCoy's business had expanded and he created the McCoy Realty Group, to provide asset management services to pension funds and large financial institutions such as Pitney-Bowes, Chase Manhattan Bank and the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, the world's largest privately managed pension fund. ��By the mid-1990s McCoy saw a growing need for real estate and institutional asset management in African American communities and the not-for-profit sector. He attempted to fulfill these needs with the founding of UrbanAmerica.

As for Coffeeandcrumbs' argument, the Primetime Emmy Awards example gets plenty of secondary coverage, undermining the editor's argument. PORNBIO was taken down because, without reliable sources, all that's left is self-promotion and the porn itself.

Maurice Born

Maurice Born (31 December 1943 – 9 July 2020) was a Swiss architect, ethnographer, sociologist and writer, known for his work on the study of the leper colony of Spinalonga in Greece.

Background
Spinalonga is a small barren island located in the Gulf of Elounda in north-eastern Crete. In 1564, when it was part of the Kingdom of Candia, the Venetians built a fortress on Spinalonga, which soon became a key outpost for controlling the trading routes to the Levant. After Crete fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1649, Spinalonga remained under Venetian control until 1718. Shortly after the departure of the last Ottomans in 1898, the Cretan State established a leper colony on the island in 1904 that operated until 1957. This decision was influenced both by political factors and Edvard Ehlers' theories, who was strongly in favor of secluding leprosy patients in order to contain the disease. Spinalonga initially received patients from Crete but after 1913, when Crete was annexed to the Kingdom of Greece, also from mainland Greece.

Early life
Maurice Born was born in Saint-Imier near Bienne in the canton of Bern. He studied architecture at the EPFL in Lausanne and at the LUH in Hannover.

Work on Spinalonga
Interested in social isolation and social stigma, Born heard about Spinalonga from a friend and first visited the island in 1967. At that time, Spinalonga had been abandoned for ten years but little was known about the life of patients on the island; neither the state nor the locals wished to share details about the colony. Born was intrigued by the islands' past and returned in 1968, supported by a grant from the Paris Institute of the Environment (Institut de l’Environnement).

Based at the nearby fishing village of Plaka, he meticulously surveyed the settlement, the bastions and the fortifications on the island. At the same time, he gained the confidence of residents of Plaka and nearby villages who had been in regular contact with Spinalonga inmates and collected their accounts on life on the island. Born then turned his attention to former Spinalonga confinees who had been transferred to the Hospital of Infectious Diseases in Agia Varvara, Attica and recorded their stories. It was there where he met and befriended with Epaminondas Remoundakis (el), the most emblematic inmate of Spinalonga, whom he interviewed for long periods of time.

Funded by Sandoz Laboratories, Born and director Jean-Daniel Pollet produced in 1973 the documentary L'Ordre that focuses on Spinalonga and includes a unique interview with Remoundakis. In 2015, he published a book titled Vies et morts d’un Crétois lépreux (Lifes and deaths of a Cretan leper) that is based on Remoundakis' narrations.

Later life
During the 1980s in Saint-Imier, Born founded Espace noir, an anarchist cultural cooperative, and the Canevas editions.

Born also developed an interest in contemporary history of Crete. He became a member of the Society of Cretan Historical Studies (Εταιρεία Κρητικών Ιστορικών Μελετών (ΕΚΙΜ)). During the last decade of his life, Born had settled in Neapoli. In October 2019, he was declared an honorary citizen of Agios Nikolaos. He died in Auch, France after a long illness.

Cookbook:Midwestern Cuisine

| Cuisine of the United States

Midwestern cuisine in the United States is based on simple dishes such as pot roast, sausage, and pancakes. Dairy is an important ingredient, especially cheese. In homes, meals tend to be served family-style rather than in courses. Seasoning is mild, and tends to the sweet.

Like most American cuisines, Midwestern cooking is influenced by the cuisine of the immigrants who settled in the region. Scandinavians and Germans settled the northern Midwest, so Swedish and Norwegian lutefisk, Cornish pasties, or Polish pa˛czki may be found. Missouri and Illinois were destinations for many ethnic German immigrants, so sausages and potatoes are more prevalent.

The Midwest produces most of America's grain, beef, and dairy products, and these products are staples of traditional Midwestern cuisine.

Midwestern U.S. Recipes List

If you are reading this on the Midwestern U.S. cooking page, the list of all Midwestern U.S. recipes should already be shown to the right.

Louise Mohn

Louise Mohn (born 14 January 1974) is a Norwegian businesswoman who is the founder and chief executive officer of Luzmon Medical Technology.

She established Luzmon Medical Technology in 2016.

Biography
Mohn was born to a philanthropist and businessman, Trond Mohn, and his wife, Mette, in Bergen, Norway, and immediately took an interest in sport. By the age of 15, she was playing basketball at a national level for five different basketball teams. Her training schedule caught up with her, and she started experiencing injuries and muscle pain. She was forced to give up basketball as her health further deteriorated, leaving her with chronic pain. Mohn refused risky surgery and pain medication. Within the next ten years, she went through different medical evaluations and simultaneously tried various treatments, including physiotherapy, ultrasound, and laser to no avail.

By chance, she came across cTEMS at a clinic in Oslo, Norway, and it proved to be the solution to her condition. After six months of treatments, she was pain-free and able to sleep through the night.

In November 2004, she opened The Luzmon Clinic in Kensington, London, acting as a distributor for cTEMS passive exercise.

In 2008, not content with existing equipment, the company invested heavily in research and development in new electrodes. After two years of investments in the UK, the pad prototype developed was unsuccessful, and Mohn decided to end her distribution agreement for the equipment. Consequently, she closed the clinic and went on to pursue further research and development in Norway.

In 2008, Mohn was examined by doctors at Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, after experiencing episodes with potential cardiac symptoms. The medical team was positively surprised by her physical performance during the tests and her physique was primarily due to the result of cTEMS. Mohn turned over documentation from 10 000 treatment sessions in London to a medical team at Haukeland University Hospital who began designing a program of clinical trials.

Luzmon Medical is now working to create technology that can treat pain, nerve, and muscle problems.

The office would move around Davenport several times over the course of the next sixty-five years before relocating across the state line to the Moline airport (now known as Quad Cities International Airport) in October 1936.

In October 1993, construction on a new facility for the Quad Cities office began near Davenport Municipal Airport, and the Quad Cities NWS began the transition from Moline back to Davenport, a move that was completed by February 1995. The following month, the Quad Cities office's county warning area expanded to 34 counties – 21 in Iowa and 13 in Illinois. In November 1999, the St. Louis NWS office transferred responsibility for Clark and Scotland counties in extreme northeast Missouri to the Quad Cities weather office, bringing the total number of counties in the Quad Cities office's county warning area to its present number of 36.

In June 2017, the Quad Cities office moved into a new facility, also on the grounds of Davenport Municipal Airport.

Significant events
National Weather Service Quad Cities has overseen many significant weather events since its foundation, including the August 2020 Midwest derecho, which brought powerful winds over 80 mph across a large area of its county warning area, as well as gusts to 140 mph to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The office earned an NWS Director's Award in 2024 for its work forecasting and issuing watches and warnings during the Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023.
