Waves/Double slit Diffraction

Narrow Slits

Let us now imagine a plane sine wave normally impingent on a screen with two narrow slits spaced by a distance d, as shown in Figure 2.16. Since the slits are narrow relative to the wavelength of the wave impingent on them, the spreading angle of the beams is large and the diffraction pattern from each slit individually is a cylindrical wave spreading out in all directions, as illustrated in figure 2.13. The cylindrical waves from the two slits interfere, resulting in oscillations in wave intensity at the screen on the right side of figure 2.16.

Constructive interference occurs when the difference in the path lengths of the two rays is an integer multiple of the wavelength, λ:

 * $$l_2 - l_1 = m\lambda, \quad m = 0, \pm 1 , \pm 2 , \ldots \,$$

Similarly, destructive interference occurs at:

 * $$l_2 - l_1 = \left( m + \frac{1}{2} \right) \lambda, \quad m = 0, \pm 1 , \pm 2 , \ldots \,$$

If the distance from the slits to the screen, L is much greater than the slit separation, d, the rays l1 and l2 are approximately parallel and we can say that the path length difference is:

 * $$l_2 - l_1 = d \sin \theta\,$$

Substituting these two equations gives the following condition for constructive interference:

 * $$d \sin \theta = m\lambda, \quad m = 0, \pm 1 , \pm 2 , \ldots \,$$

The integer m is called the interference order and is the number of wavelengths by which the two paths differ. At every angle corresponding to integer m, constructive interference will be greatest and a "fringe" will be formed.

The distance from a point on the screen to the centre line, s, is related to θ as follows:
 * $$\tan \theta = \frac{s}{L}$$

When θ is small, we can say that:
 * $$\tan \theta \approx \sin \theta$$

We can therefore equate the expressions for position on the screen and fringe angles:
 * $$\frac{m \lambda}{d} \approx \frac{s}{L}$$

Rearranging gives an expression for the fringe spacing:
 * $$s \approx \frac{m \lambda L}{d} $$

The following conditions have to hold for this to be a good approximation:
 * The distance from the slits to the screen, L, must be much larger than the slit separation, d.
 * The angle, θ, to the fringe from the slits must be small.
 * The slits must be narrow compared to the wavelength, λ.

Example
Let us consider a setup with the following parameters:
 * d = 0.1 mm
 * λ = 2500 nm (infrared)

We expect to see a fringe spacing at 10m of:
 * $$s=\frac{\lambda L}{d}=\frac{2500 \times 10^{-9} \times 10}{0.1 \times 10^{-3}}=0.25m$$

First, let's look at a "snapshot" of the wave at a certain instance in time. The amplitude at a point, (x,y), is given by:
 * $$u(x,y,t)=

a\sin \left( k \sqrt{ \left( x-\frac{d}{2} \right)^2 + y^2} \right)+ a\sin \left( k \sqrt{ \left( x+\frac{d}{2} \right)^2 + y^2} \right) $$ where k is the wavenumber, given by 2π/λ. In this exercise, we will neglect the decreasing amplitude with distance, so the fringes stay bright over all space. The plot below shows a plot of this function. You can clearly see the circular propagation of each source, but an overall fringe structure is difficult to make out.

Now, the human eye and all light-measuring equipment do not detect the individual oscillations of a light wave, they measure intensity. Here, intensity is a function of the phase difference between the two sources, which in turn is directly related to the path length difference.
 * $$\delta = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}\Delta l$$
 * $$I \approx 4 a^2 \cos^2 \frac{\delta}{2}$$

The plot below shows this intensity function. We see that a very clear fringe structure is revealed:

At this scale, the fringe structure is not clearly radial, it "bends" around the source. However, we can see that if we were to zoom out, the frenges diverge, and the ones near the centre, which are closest to perfectly radial, will be the ones that matter: In this plot, we see the predicted bright fringes at x=0mm, x=±250mm and x=±500mm.

Julian Banzon

Julián Arca Banzón (March 25, 1908 – September 13, 1988) was a Filipino biochemist and a National Scientist of the Philippines. Banzon is credited for his research in alternative fuel. He researched on the production of ethyl ester fuels from sugarcane and coconuts and devised a method of extracting residual coconut oil through chemical means.

Early life and education
Julian Banzon was born on March 25, 1908, to Manuel S. Banzon and Arcadia Arca in Balanga, Bataan.

Banzon graduated from the University of the Philippines in Manila in 1930 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in chemistry. After some years working as an instructor at his alma mater, in 1937 he entered the Iowa State University in the United States as a UP pensionado. Banzon obtained a Doctor of Philosophy degree in biochemistry and a minor in Microbiology in 1940. The topic of his doctoral dissertation was the “fermentative utilization of cassava.”

Career
Right after Banzon's graduation from the University of the Philippines, he worked as an assistant instructor at the University of the Philippines College of Agriculture in 1930 and was later promoted to instructor in agricultural chemistry in the same college. Banzon later pursued graduate studies.

Banzon later returned to the Philippines to work as an assistant professor in agricultural chemistry at the UP College of Agriculture. His teaching stint as an assistant professor ended in 1951. He later served as associate professor, associate chemist, and assistant head of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry from 1951 to 1955. Banzon received an aid for his study on the use of radioisotopes in agriculture in through an ICA Type A grant in 1956. In 1958, he was appointed as chief scientist of the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission. One of the highlights of Banzon's career was his tenure as the first director of the Philippine Atomic Research Center from 1960 to 1963. He was given a plaque of appreciation by the research center.

Banzon resumed his career at the UP College of Agriculture, where he worked as professor and chairman of the department of agriculture chemistry from August 1, 1963, to March 24, 1970. He was the officer-in-charge of the division of food science and technology at UP Los Baños from March 25, 1970, to June 30, 1972. From July 1972 to March 1973, he served as a professor of food and science technology, and retired from the UP College of Agriculture at the end of his teaching stint in 1973.

Banzon was frequently invited to attend scientific conferences abroad. He participated in the board of governors meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and in the general conference in Vienna, Austria, both held in 1960. In October 1981, he was an attendee of the Fourth Japan Conference on Radioisotopes held in Kyoto, Japan. Banzon also went to Bangkok, Thailand to attend the IAEA's Study Group Meeting on the Utilization of Research Reactors held from December 17 to 21, 1962. He was also part of the Philippine delegation to attend the 11th Pacific Science Congress held in Tokyo, Japan and 12th Pacific Science Congress in Canberra, Australia held in August 1966 and August 1971 respectively.

He also held the position of chairman at the division of chemical and pharmaceutical science of the National Research Council of the Philippines and was a member of the Chemical Society of the Philippines' board of directors, from 1972 to 1973. Banzon was also member of the Society for the Advancement of Research, the Sigma Xi of Iowa State University and the Radioisotopes Society of the Philippines. Banzon was also the president of the Gamma Sigma Delta Honor Society of Agriculture, UP Los Baños Chapter.

He was named as one of the members of the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) along with Clare Baltazar and Armando Dalisay on July 9, 1981. From 1985 to 1988, he was a member of the NAST executive council.

Awards
Banzon received numerous awards for his works. On July 14, 1959, the office of the secretary of the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources awarded him a certificate of merit for his “Outstanding Research Work on Extraction of Coconut Oil”. He was also awarded a plaque as outstanding chemical graduate by the UP Chemical Society of the Philippines and the PHILSUGIN award for research by the Crop Society of the Philippine in 1976. Banzon was also named "Chemist of the Year" by the Professional Regulation Commission in 1978. In 1980 he was awarded Distinguished Service Award by the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines, Incorporated, and in 1986, the University of the Philippines conferred him with its Distinguished Alumnus Award. In July 1986, he was conferred National Scientist of the Philippines by then President Corazon Aquino for his contribution in the field of chemistry in the country.

Organic chemistry/Oxidations

Oxidation is a process where a substance:

a) loses one or more electrons;

or

b) gains oxygen atom/s;

or

c) loses hydrogen atom/s;

or

d) gains an increase in its oxidation number.

For example:

C + O2 ->CO2

Here C ie carbon gets oxidised while oxygen is reduced. This is simple combustion of carbon.

Career
Born in Athens, Tziortziopoulos started his career at third division side Keratsini in 1997 and his performances caught the eye of Olympiacos, who signed him in the summer of 1998. Six months later he went on loan to Iraklis, where he played until January 2000, when he returned to Olympiacos to make his debut. The defender, a former Greek U21 international, played ten times as they won the league, but only made four more appearances in the following two triumphs.

In July 2002, he joined Akratitos and the following summer he signed for Panionios. There, his career took off and after a fine season he joined AEK Athens in the summer of 2004. When signing in AEK, Tziortziopoulos was considered one of the best left-footed backs in Greece. After a few games with the team it was thought that he would be called to play for Greece. Unfortunately, he was injured in December 2004 and returned more than a year later. Since then, he has had his ups and downs, unable to stabilise his appearances with the team. On 12 November 2006, he scored for the first time for AEK Athens against AEL.

On 7 June 2007, Tziortziopoulos was released by AEK Athens and immediately signed with the Cypriot side Omonia.

Carlo Galanti is a SPA that removes sourced content (mostly financials from film articles) and replaces it with unsourced content. He has been blocked twice for this behavior now, and twice now an anonymous IP (<IP_ADDRESS>) has undertaken the same type of edits. Just to give an indication of the types of edits here are a few (although not a complete record): Carlo was blocked at the start of September and the edits resumed a few days later under the IP (after the block had elapsed, so not block evasion). The IP was blocked on September 14, at which point Carlo began editing again (while the block on the IP was still in force). Carlo was blocked for the second time on September 15 and the IP has resumed editing today. Since Carlo is still blocked this makes the anonymous editing a case of block evasion. It is pretty obvious the editor is hopping between account and anonymous editing to bypass the blocks. Betty Logan (talk) 17:27, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

is an editor who is blocked for disruptive behavior, specifically an editor that either removes or alters sourced content (usually financials) on film articles. His block was extended when he was caught editing logged out under. Today, the disruptive behavioral pattern has resumed: Given the similarity between the IP numbers (they all geolocate to Telecom Italia), and that the new account is targeting the same articles with the same type of edits I think this is a very blatant case of block evasion. It may be worth considering a range block at this stage too if there is agreement that the evidence supports the allegation. Betty Logan (talk) 14:57, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Carlo Galanti is an editor with a history of sockpuppetry who persistently alters or removes sourced film financials, and he regularly targets the Pirates of the Caribbean articles. A newly registered editor, Luca Firth, has suddenly appeared and is making the same type of disruptive edits to the same articles. Here are a couple of examples: There is obviously a strong behavioral relationship so I am requesting a formal check on the editor. Betty Logan (talk) 14:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Newly registered account so there isn't that much to go on, but the account seems to be a SPA targeting the same articles with the same types of edits, so it seems to be the same MO. Please compare the following: In addition, Jackson has left talk page comments at articles that have since been semi-protected due to his persistent sock puppetry. Due to the fact that there are limited edits so far the behavioral evidence is circumstantial which is why I have also requested a CU, to be on the safe side.

Apologies if I am not doing this correctly. This user is now making edits with the name Travatar91. He is making disruptive edits to the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell no Tales page, as he has done with other accounts on the link above. His recent history, as Travatar91 is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pirates_of_the_Caribbean:_Dead_Men_Tell_No_Tales&action=history

If you look at his activity on the talk page for the film, you will note the very similar writing style and poor english/grammar. Foodles42 (talk) 21:01, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Comment I have added a checkuser request to this report because the behavior at the article has definitely set my spider sense tingling. Carlo Galanti is an editor who has form for deleting sourced financial data from film articles without explanation. While I cannot find an exact replica of this edit, it mirrors activity on the other Pirate articles. Compare the following: Given that Travatar91 is a brand new account with so few edits to its name we can't be certain by just going off behavioral evidence alone so I think we should make sure with a CU first. Betty Logan (talk) 21:55, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I don't think there is much point requesting a checkuser since this is SPA activity with exactly the same MO, targets and pattern of behavior.

 * The IP is almost certainly Carlo Galanti who always socks from a Telecom Italia IP address. As for Timmy I cannot be sure. It matches Carlo's MO of deleting sourced film financials but there is only one substantial edit to go on. Carlo pretty much always strikes at one of the Pirates of the Caribbean articles when he is active and this editor has not done that. I think it is him but reasonable doubt does exist.

Learning the vi Editor/Making your work easier

By now you should know the rudiments of using vi. However, to really make vi work for you, it may be helpful to know the following to make your work easier for you.

More on commands
Say you are editing a document, and you wish to delete ten lines - as of now, the only way to do this is to enter dd ten times. Or if you want to delete seven characters exactly - you would have to enter x seven times. There must be a better way!

Repetition
Fortunately, vi lets you augment most of the commands in case you want to repeat that command a certain number of times. This is done by typing in the number of times you want that command repeated, followed by the command.

So, if you want to delete ten lines, you would type 10dd. Or if you want to delete seven characters, you would type 7x.

You can also repeat the last action done by typing . (this is a single period keystroke), the single-repeat operation over the location you want to repeat the previous operation.

So if you wanted to repeat the deletion of ten lines as in the previous example, you could repeatedly press . to perform this operation over and over again.

Exercise
1. Type the sentence <tt>Good morning Doctor, how are you today?</tt>. Delete "Good morning".

2. Now using the single-repeat operation, delete "how are".

Motion
vi allows you greater flexibility over motion as well. There are a few commands to allow you to quickly jump around your document, such as :
 * <tt>0</tt> moves to the immediate beginning of the line
 * <tt>$</tt> moves to the immediate end of the line
 * <tt>^</tt> moves to the first non-whitespace character of the line

<tt>^</tt> acts in the following way, if the line was hello how are yo<tt>u</tt> and your cursor is on the u, if you would enter <tt>^</tt>, the cursor would be upon the h.

Furthermore, the <tt>/</tt> command allows you to jump directly to some pattern in the file. For example, if you're looking for the next occurrence of the word "pomegranate" in your text, if you hit <tt>/</tt>, then type in pomegranate (you need not enter insert mode) and hit enter, the cursor will jump to the next occurrence of the word, if it exists. If you want to search backwards, you would perform the same procedure, but use the <tt>?</tt> command. To repeat either search, enter <tt>//</tt>, <tt>??</tt>, or alternatively, type <tt>/</tt> or <tt>?</tt> and hit Enter. You can also press <tt>n</tt> to jump to the next occurrence, and <tt>N</tt> to jump to the previous occurrence.

Commands and motion
We know now that vi lets you enter a number to specify how many times to do something. Consider this example now: you want to delete everything after a certain point on a line - you could enter <tt>dw</tt> for each word from the cursor position to the end of the line, or hold down <tt>x</tt>, but these are cumbersome examples. vi thankfully lets you do something much faster.

With certain commands, vi allows you to specify a position, using the methods in the previous sections. The position is specified after the command. For example, to delete up to the end of the line, you would enter <tt>d$</tt>.

Other examples:
 * <tt>dt;</tt> will delete until the next semicolon (This is helpful in languages like C and perl that use semicolons to finish statements).
 * <tt>d2}</tt> to delete the next two paragraphs.
 * <tt>d4b</tt> to delete the previous four words (alternatively, you could enter <tt>4b4dw</tt>).

In Parts Assembled Solely

In Parts Assembled Solely is the fourth EP by Spahn Ranch, released on May 21, 1996, by Cleopatra Records. It comprises six remixes and four live versions of tracks from the band's 1995 album The Coiled One.

Reception
In his review of In Parts Assembled Solely, Jon Worley of Aiding & Abetting noted that "the only remix that outdoes the original is the first track" and "the live tracks prove that Spahn Ranch can play live, I guess, but they are completely redundant." CMJ New Music Monthly listed the EP as the top "Family Album", which offers a list of releases to listen to with one's relatives. Sonic Boom pointed to the live tracks as being the highlight of the album, saying "the sound quality isn't all that great, yet the live tracks have a raw emotional context to them which they lack in the studio versions."

Personnel
Adapted from the In Parts Assembled Solely liner notes.

Spahn Ranch
 * Athan Maroulis – lead vocals
 * Matt Green – sampler, keyboards
 * Harry Lewis – percussion

Additional performers
 * Kent Bancroft – live guitar
 * Michael Hillerup – remix (1, 6)
 * David Parkinson (as David Glass) – percussion
 * Kim Løhde Petersen – remix (1, 6)
 * Timothy Wiles (as Überzone) – remix (2–4)

Dover Quartet

The Dover Quartet is an American string quartet. It was formed at the Curtis Institute of Music in 2008 and its members are graduates of both the Curtis Institute of Music and the Rice University Shepherd School of Music. Its name is taken from the piece Dover Beach by Samuel Barber, who also studied at Curtis. The Dover Quartet was appointed to the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music as the Penelope P. Watkins ensemble-in-residence in 2020. Additionally, they hold a teaching residency at the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University.

In 2021, BBC Music Magazine named the Dover Quartet one of the greatest string quartets of the last 100 years. The quartet has been nominated for two Grammy Awards.

The Dover Quartet has collaborated with artists such as Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnaton, Ray Chen, the Escher Quartet, Edgar Meyer, Anthony McGill, the late Peter Serkin, and Roomful of Teeth. They have performed the premiere performances of works by composers such as Caroline Shaw, Mason Bates, Marc Neikrug, Steven Mackey, and Gabriella Smith.

The founding members of the quartet are violinists Joel Link and Bryan Lee, violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, and cellist Camden Shaw. Violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt stepped down from the quartet in August 2022, and was replaced by Hezekiah Leung in a one-year appointment for the 2022-2023 season. In February 2023, the quartet announced that violist Julianne Lee would join the quartet as a full member starting in the fall of 2023.

Discography
The Dover Quartet has released three albums on Cedille Records: Tribute: Dover Quartet Plays Mozart, Voices of Defiance, and Beethoven Complete String Quartets, Volume 1 – The Opus 18 Quartets. Their fourth album Encores was released in 2021 in collaboration with Brooklyn Classical (also known as the popular piano and cello group Brooklyn Duo). The album was made up of 10 popular classical movements.

User:Kunzite/Radio Drama Japan

History
In Japan, the history of Radio Drama is started with the first radio broadcast in 1925. Some consider the first radio drama Japan to be "Kirihitoha (桐一葉)" which was a radio broadcast of a stage play. Others consider the Japanese translation of Richard Hughes's "Danger" or Tenkō no Naka (炭坑の中) to be the first true radio drama to be broadcast in Japan. The Japanese equivalent of the BBC, NHK, also had a training the special radio drama theatrical company, this was the origin of the Seiyū (声優) phenomenon in Japan that continues to this day.

In the 1950's, authors like Shinichiro Nakamura (中村真一郎), Kiyoteru Hanada (花田清輝), and others who belonged to the "junbun gaku (文学用語) penned many experimental radio dramas. These radio dramas caught the attention of various Eastern European countries in which the works of Nakamura et al. were translated and rebroadcast.

As with most countries, radio drama broadcasts have become less common after the advent of television.

Audio Drama
In Japan today, it is common for popular television dramas, "Light novels", manga series, anime series, or video games to have main plot lines, plot continuations, sequels or small side stories released in the form of audio dramas.

These audio dramas are alternativly called drama CD's (ドラマCD), radio dramas (ラジオドラマ), or sound dramas (サウンドドラマ).

Nowadays they're released on compact disc, however in the past they were released on vinyl and audio cassette.) Before the advent of Videocassette recorders drama recordings were the only way to revisit an animated television series without and recordings often featured recaps of plotlines along with theme songs from anime series. This is still employed by current audio dramas, for example the first Sailor Moon audio drama CD has the characters getting into a shiritori battle with Zoisite featuring the names of minor characters and place settings.

Audio dramas plot lines may also be re-used in other media. An example of this are audio dramas like Benitokage from Sakura Taisen which was later produced as a stage show; then used as a basis for an episode in direct-to-video anime release.

Most modern audio dramas consist of either side stories or parody stories, though an audio drama may be both. Side stories are usually extensions of main plotlines such as plotlines that were featured in manga that have not appearead in an anime. Parody stories feature characters getting in to humorous predicaments or scenes that may be too risqué for television. For example, one Sailor Moon audio drama featured a scene where Haruka Tennou filled in at a gay bar.

Recent trends in merchandising anime shows have had audio dramas come out as pretexts for the development of anime series and can substantually precede the appearance of an anime version. Sometimes they are released before an animated version of an anime series in order to introduce fans to the characters and Seiyū. (An example of this was the manga series Angel Sanctuary which had a drama CD come out well before its direct-to-video anime release.)

Krem (instrument)

The krem is a musical instrument, a type of bamboo tube zither played by the Jah Hut group of the Orang Asli tribal peoples of Malaysia.

The instrument is made of a bamboo tube, open at one end and with some slits for sound-holes; it has two strings, previously made of roots but now often nylon. The root strings were once coated with resin to produce a "loud, firm sound." The instrument may be plucked or bowed, and is mainly played by women.

WUSP (AM)

WUSP (1550 kHz) is an AM radio station in Utica, New York. Programming is simulcast on WRCK 1480 kHz in Remsen, New York. Two FM translators also carry the programming, 95.5 MHz W238CA in Utica, relaying WUSP, and 94.1 MHz W231DZ Remsen, relaying WRCK. The stations are owned by the Utica Phoenix, a local alternative newspaper, and air an urban contemporary - hip hop music radio format.

WUSP has been silent for approximately two years yet it's 95.5 FM translator continues transmitting programming.

WUSP History
In 1962, WBVM 1550 signed on, owned by Michael and Danial Fusco. WBVM was named after the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was a 1,000 watt daytimer, required to go off the air at night to avoid interfering with CBE Windsor, Ontario, the Class I-A station on AM 1550.

WBVM became WUTQ in 1980.

From the late 1990s onward, WUTQ and sister station WADR were two of the four stations collectively known as the "Sports Stars Radio Network," a collection of four AM radio stations (WLFH Little Falls and WRNY Rome being the others) carrying a mix of local and national sports talk. When station owner Clear Channel Communications exited most of its small markets in 2007, the network was broken up: WLFH (now WIXT) and WRNY went to Galaxy Communications (who joined them with WTLB to form a new sports network) while WUTQ and WADR were sold to Ken Roser and became full-service outlets. In 2012, Roser moved WUTQ's programming to FM 100.7, which was rechristened WUTQ-FM.

On July 27, 2012, it was announced that Good Guys Broadcasting Corporation, a company led by two former executives at WKTV, would be purchasing WRCK and WUTQ from Roser and converting the two stations to sports radio. The purchase was consummated on December 21, 2012, at a purchase price of $350,000. The stations then began airing programming from Sports Byline USA and the USA Radio Network, with Tom Coyne (one of the two stations' owners) hosting morning drive and longtime radio host Hank Brown returning for his third stint at the station in middays. Since April 2014, the late morning timeslot has featured the Mohawk Valley Memories musical program, featuring music from the 1940s up to the 1980s. Sports included the New York Mets and the New England Patriots. The stations' previous format moved to FM 100.7 and kept the WUTQ call sign and branding, while the former WUTQ was renamed WUSP. Ethnic/specialty programming such as "The Saturday Polka Review" Polish/American show with Gary Sroka, "Radio 202" Bosnian Radio Show, The 95.5FM Hispanic Show, all on Saturday, and on Sunday; "The Family Rosary Radio" followed by "The Voice Of The New Italy" were retained by WUSP. (When WUSP ceased operations, "Radio 202" and "The Voice of New Italy" both returned to WUTQ; Sroka took his polka show to WHCL.)

In August 2013, WUSP/WRCK dropped its Sports Byline USA affiliation and affiliated with CBS Sports Radio and Yahoo! Sports Radio.

On August 5, 2015, WUSP and WRCK both went silent as a result of financial and some ongoing technical problems. The ownership's last public statement was to quote the last line of "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" ("merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.") put out through its social media pages on Christmas Eve 2015.

As of July 2017, the WUSP and WRCK licenses were still active but silent. Good Guys Broadcasting was attempting to sell the stations and had sustained major financial losses during their ownership, having temporarily turned the stations back on to keep the license operational on June 28, 2017. Effective March 16, 2018, WUSP was purchased by Phoenix Radio, Inc, a corporation affiliated with the Utica Phoenix independent newspaper. (It is unrelated to William "Wolf" Berry's "Phoenix Radio" that operated radio stations in the Southern Tier of New York.) The purchase, at a price of $125,000, also included WUSP's translator on 95.5 FM.

WRCK History
WRCK was known as WREM from its sign on in 1958 by owners Ed Slusarczyk and Jerry Prouty, until 1966, when it became WADR. WREM was unusual in that it used a shunt fed antenna.

1480 had simulcast 1550 since the late 1990s. In 2012, WADR was renamed WRCK, parking the call letters that had previously been used on FM 107.3 (now a K-Love owned-and-operated station as WKVU). On June 26, 2018, the station separated from WUSP and went silent. On May 31, 2019, WRCK went back on the air in order to keep the license active and perform equipment testing. The station had a "we play anything" type format during this period.

In early November 2019, WRCK launched translator W231DZ 94.1 and began airing "Up Music Radio," a Christian Contemporary format. Studios were located at the Big Apple Music Plaza in New Hartford, New York.

Undated, WRCK 1480 dropped the "Up Music Radio" Christian contemporary format and left the air. In March 2024, WRCK returned to the air at 1480 AM including W231DZ 94.1 and began simulcasting the programming of WUSP 1550 AM and W238CA 95.5 FM 95.5 The Heat.

Jenglot

A jenglot ( Indonesian ) is a small creature of Indonesian culture and mythology. It has the appearance of a deformed humanoid doll and whose size is up to 12 cm in length. They have long hair which grows sparse and stiff through the legs, and long nails. The doll itself does nothing, but when imbued with black magic, is said to provide protection to its master, takes revenge on an enemy or works as a good luck charm. It can fetch thousands of ringgit or millions of rupiah when sold.

Folklore states that they were formerly human beings. Jenglot 'keepers' feed their creature with blood, either animal blood (goat) or human blood. The blood is placed near the jenglot, which is said not to drink the blood directly. According to traditional belief, the jenglot will get the nutrients of the blood in their own way.

Exhibition
In Indonesia there has been several "exhibitions" of jenglot specimens found and showcased. Most being found on the islands of Java and Sumatra, and are held as private collections of supernatural researchers and fans. People who have caught the jenglot usually bring their creature all over Indonesia to exhibit them in order to gain some money. They have also been shown at "Pameran Misteri, Jin, Hantu dan Keranda" at Sultan Alam Shah Museum, Shah Alam. Others still maintain that they are no more than "man-made toys [with] no supernatural power."

Hoax
Many were found to be hoaxes, being masterful taxidermist fixings of monkeys and fish, however, not all specimens were examined, and the jenglot is an actively believed myth that many natives believe to be real. In 2008, scientists in Malaysia examined hairs and DNA from four jengelots brought from Irian Jaya, Indonesia to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by a 'businessman' to be exhibited in a local museum. Each of the samples appeared to be from humans and DNA analysis showed it was likely from the same person. They even noted that "A few hairs from samples [...] also had an intact dried root at the other end of the cut tip, which indicated that the hairs were implanted upside down on the Jenglots’ heads".

Federal Correctional Complex, Petersburg

The Federal Correctional Complex, Petersburg (FCC Petersburg) is a United States federal prison complex for male inmates in Petersburg, Virginia. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice.

The complex consists of two facilities:

 * Federal Correctional Institution, Petersburg Low: a low-security facility with an adjacent satellite prison camp for minimum-security inmates.
 * Federal Correctional Institution, Petersburg Medium: a medium-security facility.

FCC Petersburg is located 25 miles southeast of Richmond, Virginia, the state capital. It lies in the northwesternmost part of Prince George County, just west of Hopewell, Virginia.

FCC Petersburg is located in Prince George County, 25 miles southeast of Richmond, Virginia, the state capital. It lies just west of the independent city of Hopewell, Virginia.

Facility and programs
FCI Petersburg offers numerous educational opportunities, including a GED Program, English as-a-Second Language, Occupational Education, Post-Secondary Education, Adult Continuing Education, as well as Parenting Classes and Release Preparation. The facility also has a Law Library which compliant inmates may use periodically.

FCI Petersburg is one of several federal prison facilities which offer sex offender treatment programs. The Sex Offender Management Program (SOMP) at FCI Petersburg was established to assist in effectively managing the Bureau of Prisons' population of offenders with sex offense histories. The program consists of assessment/evaluation, treatment, and monitoring/managing components. The assessment/evaluation component of SOMP is non-voluntary because it assists correctional staff in determining whether the inmate is likely to engage in risk relevant behavior while incarcerated. The remaining elements of the program are voluntary.

Notable incidents
In 2008, a joint investigation conducted by the FBI and the Bureau of Prisons found that an inmate at FCI Petersburg, John Leighnor, was coordinating an ongoing identity-theft scheme from the facility. Leighnor was already serving a 7-year-sentence dating from a conviction in 2003 for another identity-theft scheme. Armed with the names of his victims, Leighnor drafted correspondence to be sent by mail to various governmental agencies and other organizations to obtain official documentation for his targets. In connection with each mailing, Leighnor either claimed that he was the person he was victimizing or that he was a lawyer, advocate, or other designated representative for a targeted victim. He requested the victim's personal documentation, such as birth certificates, family information, undergraduate transcripts, enrollment applications, and death certificates. Leighnor directed that all return correspondence be sent to his attention at various addresses, including: "Dept. 14375-077, P.O. Box 1000, Petersburg, Virginia 23804." He concealed the fact that the correspondence would be delivered to him at FCI Petersburg and that "14375-077" was his federal prisoner identification number.

Upon receiving the victim's identifying information, Leighnor planned to obtain passports, birth certificates, driver's licenses, and other identification documents for himself in the victims' names, to be used in traveling and obtaining funds from financial institutions and individuals. Leighnor also possessed documents and made statements to other inmates at FCI Petersburg about his plans to file claims with the Claims Resolution Tribunal (the entity charged with handling claims on Swiss bank accounts believed to have been abandoned by victims of Nazi persecution during World War II), in order to gain control of abandoned funds in the Swiss bank accounts connected to Holocaust victims.

In 2009, Leighnor was sentenced to an additional 8 years in prison for mail fraud and identity theft related to the FCI Petersburg scheme. He was held at the Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix, a low-security facility in New Jersey. He was released in 2016 after completing his sentence.

A joint investigation conducted by the FBI and the Department of Justice Inspector General found that a correction officer at FCC Petersburg, Keif Jackson, conspired with inmate Walter Brooks to smuggle heroin inside the facility. In 2008, Brooks recruited Jackson to smuggle heroin to him in the prison. At Brooks' request, Officer Jackson contacted acquaintances of Brooks. He met with them on several occasions to obtain heroin, and smuggled the drugs into the prison. After Brooks was released from FCC Petersburg in 2010, Brooks began supplying heroin to Jackson to smuggle into the prison. Approximately one year later, on Oct. 10, 2011, Jackson was stopped by the police on his way to work. Upon searching his vehicle, officers recovered a package containing heroin.

Jackson entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute heroin in March 2012 and was sentenced to 12 months in prison.

In September 2012, a federal jury convicted Brooks, 57, of conspiracy to provide contraband to inmates, conspiracy to distribute heroin, five counts of providing contraband to inmates, and three counts of use of a communication facility to commit a felony.

On June 18, 2022, four inmates were discovered missing from the FCC Petersburg satellite campus. Authorities notified United States Marshals Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law enforcement agencies. The inmates were named as

 * Corey Branch, age 41, was serving a sentence for a conviction in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and for possessing a firearm as a felon.
 * Tavares Lajuane Graham, age 44, was serving a sentence for a conviction in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina for possession of cocaine and cocaine base with intent to sell, as well as possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. His original residence was Hope Mills, North Carolina
 * Lamonte Rashawn Willis, age 30, was serving a sentence for a conviction in the Eastern District of Virginia for possessing and concealing a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His original residence was Suffolk, Virginia.
 * Kareem Allen Shaw, age 46, was serving a sentence for a conviction in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a measurable quantity of heroin. His original residence was Harrisonburg, Virginia.

User:Vlmalikov/Otkritie financial corporation

OTKRITIE financial corporation (in brief). Otkritie was established in 1995. Now Otkritie is one of Russia’s big financial institutions, with main business areas including brokerage, asset management services, investment and commercial banking.

The Corporation’s primary business structure consists from Otkritie Bank, Otkritie Brokerage house, Otkritie Asset Management, Otkritie Debt Center, Otkritie insurance, and Otkritie Capital investment bank.

Otkritie Financial Corporation has a network that spreads out across the Russian Federation, consisting from outlets in numerous russian cities. Otkritie is also present on international markets, with offices in London, Frankfurt, Limassol and Kiev. Recently it has began expanding operations to new regions.

HISTORY Over the past sixteen years, Otkritie Financial Corporation has evolved together with russian financial markets during good and bad times. From a brokerage and stock market player in 1990-s, Otkritie developed in  more diversified company during 2000-s. Crisis of 2008

VEO Invest OJSC appeares on newly emerged russian stock market in year 2005. It was the first legal entity to later become part of Otkritie Financial Corporation. In 1997, V. Belyaev became head of VEO Invest, and since then, Mr. Belyaev has been director of Otkritie Corporation. On the other hand, a group of Russian managers headed by Mikhail Sukhobok in 1996, established Otkritie Brokerage CJSC, which specialized in stock exchange transactions with financial derivatives. Otkritie Brokerage Company soon became one of the first Russian companies to offer its clients direct Internet-based access to the MICEX. In December of 2001, VEO Invest and Otkritie Brokerage Company signed a merger agreement. This merger resulted in the establishment of the consolidated company VEO-Otkritie. The new company offered its clients a wide range of services, including brokerage, dealership, custodian, depositary and asset management services. In 2002, VEO-Otkritie was renamed Otkritie Brokerage house.

From 2002 to 2004, Otkritie Brokerage House infallibly ranked among the top three, in terms of securities trading turnover, on the Russian stock market. During this period the company executed a major transaction in the corporate finance sector, acting as a financial consultant to prepare and oversee the sale of a stake in Russia’s leading publishing association Almaz-Press.

In 2005, Otkritie Investment Group acquired the asset management company National, which was later renamed Otkritie Asset Management and made its debut handling trust management services and pool-based investments (mutual funds). The NAUFOR Rating Agency assigned an AA+ rating to Otkritie Investment Group (very high reliability; first level).

Otkritie Investment Group Ltd. was renamed OTKRITIE Financial Corporation Ltd. in February 2007 during restructuring. In order to expand into overseas markets, OTKRITIE Financial Corporation purchased the UK-based brokerage ABC Clearing Limited, and renamed it Otkritie Securities Limited. Open.ru Brokerage House (Cyprus) Limited was incorporated the same year, and renamed Otkritie Finance (Cyprus) Limited.

Otkritie Financial Corporation began its aggressive regional expansion in 2008. In second half of 2008 world financial crisis began to influence russian banking and financial industry. Many private banks run into troubles with liquidity and bad debts. In response, Russian financial authorities with help of healthy commercial banks began to restructurize troubled banks and investment companies. Otkritie became one of first companies to take part in these measures aimed at turning around Russian banks. In November, the company, in partnership with the Deposit Insurance Agency, acquired RBR Commercial Bank. In June 2009, the bank was renamed OTKRITIE Commercial Bank CJSC. This acquisition marked the beginning of the aggressive development of the classic commercial banking division under Otkritie Financial Corporation. During subsequent 2010 and 2011 years Otkritie continued development of this strategy - for example, in July 2010, Otkritie Financial Corporation declared that it would help turn Gubernsky bank around with funding measures aimed at purchasing the bank’s distressed assets. Next in line (august 2010) was Petrovskiy bank, likewise with restructuring of troubled assets and further cleanup and streamlining of operations. In September 2010, Otkritie Brokerage House announced its entrance into the Ukrainian investment services market. On 31 March 2011, Otkritie Financial Corporation closed a deal aimed at selling a stake in Otkritie Bank to the International financial corporation (IFC). Under the terms of agreement, the IFC acquired a ~16% stake in the bank from Otkritie.

Otkritie Financial Corporation acquired a 100% stake in Otechestvo insurance company in september of 2011. This deal had big benefits for Otkritie - access to retail insurance market and possibility of additional services to clients. Besides that Otkritie gained more than 60 000 new clients.

FOUNDERS, OWNERS AND STRUCTURE OF CORPORATION

Otkritie, comparing to some other russian corporations, exhibits transparent corporative structrure. Holding company is OTKRITIE financial corporation JSC, which owns commercial bank, brokerage house, insurance company, asset management company, international trading and investment branches etc. Biggest owners are V.Belyaev, B.Mints, JSC VTB Bank, and A.Chubais. V.Belyaev and B.Mints managed the company and participated in all biggest business movements for long time, thus forming effective business partnership.

FUTURE AND PERSPECTIVES Current strategy includes development of "financial supermarket" for retail clients, for them to enjoy all synergies of well developed bank, brokerage, asset management and insurance businesses in one location - convenient and comprehensive approach for clients. Also corporation targeting on further development of international operations.

Nuclear Physics/Radioactivity

Radioactivity is the conversion of one nuclear state to another. It is accompanied by the emission of particles or electromagnetic radiation. The nuclear state change can often involve a change in the atomic number of the atoms involved. The most well known forms of radiation emiited are alpha particles (helium nuclei - two protons bound with two neutrons), beta particles (energetic electrons) and gamma radiation (very high energy electromagnetic radiation). Another form of radioactivity is fission in which a nucleus splits into two smaller components.

Natural Sources of Radiation
Most sources of natural, predictable radiation come from the decay of atomic nuclei, resulting in either alpha - $$\alpha$$ or beta - $$\beta$$ particles. In general, $$\alpha$$ decay is more common among the heavier elements, as it reduces the proton:neutron ratio, while $$\beta$$ decay is much more prominent among lighter elements, as it converts a neutron into a proton.

Two prominent examples of radioactive decay are:

$$\boldsymbol{\alpha}$$ decay:

$$ U^{238} \longrightarrow Th^{234} + He^{4}(\alpha) $$

This is the first decay in the famous Uranium decay. U-238 is essentially non-radioactive (especially compared to hyper-active U-235), and has a half-life of over four billion years.

$$\boldsymbol{\beta}$$ decay:

$$ C^{14} \longrightarrow N^{14} + e(\beta) $$

This is the decay that allows for carbon dating, and has a half-life of over 5000 years.

Gamma radiation is much more difficult to come by, as emitting a gamma ray does not allow an atomic nuclei to decay. The most famous source of high-energy gamma rays is what happens when an electron and a positron annihilate:

$$ e^{+} + e^{-} \longrightarrow \gamma + \gamma $$

Since positrons are relatively rare, this is an interaction that is relatively hard to find. However there are fairly reliable sources of $$\gamma$$ radiation, including Cesium-137 and Cobalt-60. Both are useful for a wide variety of technical purposes, as well as for their utility in cancer treatment.

I created this image myself using PowerTab and edited it in MS Paint to reduce the width of the image and remove extraneous elements. It demonstrates the notation for slides and legato slides on the guitar.

Basilica del Santo Crucifix

The Basilica del Santo Crucifix is a 1444–1447 bronze sculpture by Donatello on the high altar of the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua in Padua. It measures 180 by 166 cm; his only monumental bronze on that scale prior to that date had been his 1423–1425 Saint Louis of Toulouse. The work was originally nude, with a textile loincloth probably intended to be added; the current bronze one is a Baroque addition. The work also marks a development away from the exaggerated realism of his youthful Santa Croce Crucifix.

Probably the artist's first important commission in Padua, it may have even have been the offer of producing this work in bronze (a difficult and costly material) which tempted him to leave Florence for Padua in 1443. He acquired the wax for its modello in 1444 and the work was first displayed in the basilica in 1447, with Donatello paid the last installment of his fee in 1449. He was working on the fencing for the choir at the same time and so the crucifix was probably originally intended for the centre of that space rather than the high altar. It does not form part of the artist's 1446–1450 scheme of reliefs for that altar, though it was so highly prized by the monks that it probably gained him that later commission.
