This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the 2020s.

In 2020, NASA plans to launch the Mars 2020 rover, followed by the maiden launch of the Space Launch System (launch date to be determined, unlikely to be before late 2021); in 2023, NASA plans to carry out the first crewed flight of the Space Launch System.

The trend towards cost reduction in access to orbit is expected to continue. In 2020, Blue Origin plans the maiden flight of New Glenn with a reusable first stage. In the same year SpaceX plans to launch its new fully reusable Starship/Super Heavy system.

NASA plans a return of humans to the Moon by 2024, first by assembling a Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway in lunar orbit. A crewed exploration of Mars could follow in the mid 2030s. An uncrewed and then a crewed trip to Jupiter and Europa have been commonly contemplated, but no space agencies or companies have yet announced definite plans to launch a crewed mission further than Mars. SpaceX, a private company, has also announced plans to land humans on Mars in the mid-2020s, with the long-term goal of enabling the colonization of Mars.

India plans its first crewed flight with a spacecraft called Gaganyaan for December 2021 on a home-grown GSLV-III rocket. The mission would make India the 4th nation to launch a crewed space flight after Russia, US and China. India also plans to launch its second Mars probe, Mars Orbiter Mission 2 (Mangalyaan 2), in 2024.

The number of small satellites launched annually was expected to grow to around one thousand (2018 estimate), although SpaceX alone plans to launch more than that for its Starlink constellation (12,000 satellites from 2019 to 2027). The majority of the satellites are expected to be communication satellites in large constellations.

 * High Commissioner of Papua New Guinea – Tom Critchley (until 16 September)

January

 * 5 January – Tasman Bridge disaster: The Tasman Bridge in Hobart is struck by the ore carrier MV Lake Illawarra. The bridge partially collapses onto the vessel, which sinks. Seven crew and five motorists are killed.
 * 7 January – An Executive Council Minute authorising the raising of a "temporary loan" of US$4,000 million for 20 years is reversed before it becomes public knowledge. The move to bypass the Loans Council – to become known as the "Loans Affair" – had been initiated a month earlier by several Labor Ministers without consulting Cabinet.
 * 19 January – 2JJ, the predecessor of youth radio Triple J, commences broadcasting in Sydney.
 * 26 January – The Workers' Party is launched at a banquet at the Sydney Opera House. The WP is libertarian in principle, demanding less government intervention, as well as being virulently anti-Socialist.  The name is subsequently changed to the Progress Party in 1977.

February

 * 9 February – Lionel Murphy resigns to become a High Court judge (a move for which Garfield Barwick's appointment had set a precedent).
 * 11 February – New South Wales Premier Tom Lewis decides to replace Lionel Murphy in the Senate with a non-Labor nominee. Cabinet unanimously endorses his decision.  Albury's 77-year-old mayor, Cleaver Bunton, is selected, thus reducing Labor to 28 in the Senate.  The move is seen as breaking constitutional convention and was against the advice of senior Liberals and most Premiers.
 * 27 February – Prime Minister Gough Whitlam's failure to support Speaker Jim Cope in a ruling involving Clyde Cameron (Hindmarsh) led to the Speaker's resignation and his replacement by Gordon Scholes. Cope had been having difficulty with the Opposition's increasing larrikinism.

March

 * 18 March – The Victorian Government appoints the Beach Board of Inquiry to report on allegations of misconduct against the police force.
 * 21 March – Malcolm Fraser replaces Billy Snedden as leader of the Liberal Party of Australia, winning the party room ballot 37:27. Phillip Lynch retains the deputy leadership.

April

 * 8 April – After 21 hours of bitter debate in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, a Bill to abolish the death penalty is passed 36:30, with 5 abstentions. To this end, Labor Council leader J. Galbally had brought in 21 private members Bills in some 15 years.  The abolition Bill must now pass the Legislative Council where lengthy debate and an even closer vote is expected.
 * 25 April – The Australian Embassy in South Vietnam is closed and staff evacuated prior to the Fall of Saigon.

May

 * 20 May – The Executive Council revokes approval it had given on 28 January for a US$2,000 million overseas loan. Henceforth, all negotiations are to be conducted through the Treasury.

June

 * 5 June – Lance Barnard's resignation to become Ambassador to Sweden leads to a reorganisation of the Federal Ministry. Social Security Minister Bill Hayden (Ipswich) replaces Jim Cairns as Treasurer, and Cameron is demoted from the Labour and Immigration Ministry to Science and Consumer Affairs (amid his own and union protests).
 * 15 June – The South Australian Australian Labor Party conference gives Prime Minister Gough Whitlam a mixed reception. The Australian Workers' Union, in particular, is offended by his recent demotion of Clyde Cameron, for decades a leading figure in South Australia's Labor and Industrial Affairs.
 * 28 June – The 1975 Bass by-election is held. Malcolm Fraser and Gough Whitlam campaign against each other for the first time as leaders.  A swing of about 16% against the Australian Labor Party gives the seat to the Liberal candidate Kevin Newman, and the Opposition sees this as the green light for its strategy of forcing a second premature election.
 * 30 June – Queensland Senator Bert Milliner dies, leaving a Senate vacancy. The filling of this vacancy and the controversy surrounding it becomes one of the key events of the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis.

July

 * 1 July – Medibank is introduced, Australia Post and Telecom are formed from the Postmaster-General's Department (PMG).
 * 2 July – Prime Minister Gough Whitlam has Jim Cairns' commission as Environment Minister terminated for misleading Parliament. Mr Cairns had denied having written a secret letter to a loans broker in March, but a signed letter was produced in June.
 * 4 July – Sydney newspaper publisher Juanita Nielsen disappears from her Kings Cross home where she published attacks on inner-city development. Edward Trigg and Shayne Martin-Simmonds are later found guilty of conspiring to murder her.

September

 * 3 September – Convention is breached when the Queensland Parliament rejects Australian Labor Party nominee Mal Colston to replace the deceased Senator Bert Milliner, choosing instead Pat Field (automatically expelled for having nominated against the endorsed candidate.
 * 16 September – Papua New Guinea gains its independence from Australia.
 * 20 September – Thirteen miners are killed in an underground coal mine explosion at the Kianga Mine at Moura, Queensland.

October

 * 1 October – Senator Albert Field (now an Independent) is granted a month's leave of absence while his eligibility to take his seat is tested in the High Court of Australia, sitting as a Court of Disputed Returns. There has been doubting as to whether he resigned in the correct way from the Public Service at the time he was appointed.
 * 8 October – Prime Minister Gough Whitlam denied in Parliament that any of his senior ministers were still involved in trying to raise overseas loans in defiance of the 20 May revocation. Press reports based on information from the loan intermediary, Tirath Khemlani, suggest that Rex Connor is still involved.
 * 10 October – The High Court of Australia upholds the validity of the territorial Senators legislation. In any half-Senate election, four senators, plus replacements for Bunton and Field, would take their places in the Senate at once, thus giving Labor the chance to win back control there.
 * 15 October – At a Brisbane Chamber of Commerce annual luncheon, Queensland Governor Sir Colin Hannah associated himself with the criticism of the Federal Government. In the ensuing row, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam persuades Queen Elizabeth II to revoke his dormant commission to act as Governor-General.
 * 16 October – The Balibo Five are killed by Indonesian troops in Portuguese Timor.
 * 1 to 31 October – Averaged over Victoria, this stands as the wettest month since at least 1900 with a statewide average rainfall of 154.53 mm.

November

 * 11 November – 1975 Australian constitutional crisis: The Governor-General, Sir John Kerr, dismisses the government of Gough Whitlam. Malcolm Fraser is installed as caretaker Prime Minister.
 * 19 November – Two staff members of the Queensland Premier's Department are injured when they open a letter-bomb addressed to the Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

December

 * 8 December – 4ZZZ independent community radio station launches in Brisbane.
 * 9 December – New South Wales Country Party Leader Sir Charles Cutler retires and Deputy Leader Leon Punch replaces him with J.C. Bruxner as his deputy.
 * 13 December –
 * The 1975 Australian federal election is held. After a bitter campaign in which Labor tried to keep constitutional matters to the fore and the Coalition concentrated on inflation, unemployment and Labor's errors in office, the Fraser Government is confirmed in power, securing 54% of the vote, 91 of the 127 House seats, and 35 Senate seats.
 * The Victorian Government forms a committee to examine some of the recommendations from the Beach Board of Inquiry.
 * 25 December – Fifteen persons are killed in an arson attack at the Savoy Hotel in Kings Cross, New South Wales.
 * Scientist John Cornforth is announced as Australian of the Year.

Television

 * 1 March – "C-Day." Full-time colour broadcasting is launched.
 * April – Graham Kennedy said the crow call "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" during a live ad on The Graham Kennedy Show. The studio operators complied, and the show immediately pulled the plug and went to a black screen saying the network had "technical difficulties". In Sydney, the show went to a commercial break and Kennedy never came back, with Bert Newton remaining during the airtime. The same happened in Adelaide, with the exception that it was succeeded by Don Lane starting the host his variety show with Newton. Kennedy was immediately fired and banned for life from GTV-9.

Waves/Interferometers

Interferometers
An interferometer is a device which splits a beam of light into two sub-beams, shifts the phase of one sub-beam with respect to the other, and then superimposes the sub-beams so that they interfere constructively or destructively, depending on the magnitude of the phase shift between them. In this section we study the Michelson interferometer and interferometric effects in thin films.

The Michelson Interferometer
Figure 1.13: Sketch of a Michelson interferometer.

The American physicist Albert Michelson invented the optical interferometer illustrated in figure 1.13. The incoming beam is split into two beams by the half-silvered mirror. Each sub-beam reflects off of another mirror which returns it to the half-silvered mirror, where the two sub-beams recombine as shown. One of the reflecting mirrors is movable by a sensitive micrometer device, allowing the path length of the corresponding sub-beam, and hence the phase relationship between the two sub-beams, to be altered. As figure 1.13 shows, the difference in path length between the two sub-beams is $$2x$$ because the horizontal sub-beam traverses the path twice. Thus, constructive interference occurs when this path difference is an integral number of wavelengths, i. e.,
 * $$ 2x = m \lambda, m = 0, \pm 1, \pm 2, \ldots \quad \mbox{(Michelson interferometer)} $$ (2.22)

where $$\lambda $$ is the wavelength of the light and $$m$$ is an integer. Note that $$m$$ is the number of wavelengths that fits evenly into the distance $$2x$$.

Falsion

Falsion (ファルシオン) is an on-rail 3D shoot-'em-up produced by Konami that was released for the Family Computer Disk System in 1987. It is one of the few games compatible with the Famicom 3D System peripheral.

Plot
The game's background story is only explained through the user manual. In the game's universe, humanity has colonized most planets in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and they now look towards expanding their reach by using an experimental travel technology called "Hyperzone Drive". However, a race of aliens who have already mastered that technology are currently invading planets at a quick pace, closing in on the Solar System. The invaders attack humanity's colony on Pluto and conquer it with little resistance, since human civilization doesn't have the technology to defend itself.

The human organization responsible for the space program, the "United Space Force", decides to use the yet-untested "Hyperzone Drive" in order to send ships that will directly attack the armies of the invading aliens. However, the new technology proves hard to control, and only one of the ships manages to survive the trip: the protagonist's ship, named Falsion. The story of the game itself deals with the Falsion's attack on the alien forces, and its eventual victory over the alien mothership, called "Gigantos", which serves as the game's final boss.

Gameplay
The game is a shoot 'em up in which the player controls the movements of a flying space ship, called the Falsion, while simultaneously shooting enemy ships and trying to avoid their attacks. The goal of the game is to survive to the end of the auto-scrolling levels and defeat the boss to move on to the next level, until the sixth and final boss is defeated.

In a manner that has been compared to games like Space Harrier and Star Fox, the player's perspective is from the third person, behind the space ship, as it goes forward. Enemies, projectiles and obstacles seem to fly towards the space ship. Enemies can be attacked by shooting a rapid-firing beam weapon or homing missiles, although there is a limited supply of the latter. Randomly appearing power-ups which float around the screen for a limited time can also be collected by the player, and they either increase the ship's movement speed or replenish its missile supply. To survive, the player must avoid getting hit by enemies and obstacles or their attacks. The player can also destroy these enemies, which include other space ships, meteorites and robots.

Reception and legacy
The game received mixed reviews. Atari HQ praised Falsion's fluidity and called its 3D mode a great experience, saying the game is a "must-get". Another reviewer found the depth perception confusing and while they praised the game's music and said this was the best Famicom 3D System title, it remained "a pain to play".

Despite the similarity in name, the "Falchion β" ship in Gradius Gaiden is not based on the "Falsion" ship featured in this game.

Spanish royal collection

The Spanish royal collection of art was almost entirely built up by the monarchs of the Habsburg family who ruled Spain from 1516 to 1700, and then the Bourbons (1700–1868, with a brief interruption). They included a number of kings with a serious interest in the arts, who were patrons of a series of major artists: Charles V and Philip II were patrons of Titian, Philip IV appointed Velázquez as court painter, and Goya had a similar role at the court of Charles IV.

The royal family were the most important patrons of Spanish art throughout this period, although some important artists including El Greco, Jusepe de Ribera, and Zurbaran were little patronised. Foreign artists were often imported, although even in the 16th century the most successful were often reluctant to go to Spain, partly because they feared they would never be allowed to leave. In addition, at various periods, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, the monarchs bought paintings abroad on a significant scale, especially in Italy, but also the Spanish Netherlands and France. In early periods the scattered Spanish possessions included the important artistic centres of Milan, Naples, and the Low Countries.

With the loss of the Low Countries as a result of the Peace of Utrecht, the Spanish crown developed tapestry manufacture in Madrid to avoid the need for imports of these luxury items. As a young man, Goya executed a number of tapestry designs for use in the royal palaces. Royal patronage was also used to develop other arts and crafts in Spain in the 18th century, for example the Real Fábrica de Cristales de La Granja produced luxury glass products.

The enormous collections have been significantly reduced by a series of fires, losses in the Napoleonic Wars and to a lesser extent the Spanish Civil War, and diplomatic gifts. The collections have passed to public ownership, and a large number are on display at various locations. Although the collection is rightly most famous for its paintings, with the Prado in Madrid holding the main collection, there are large holdings of sculpture, and most forms of the decorative arts. What is probably the world's finest collection of Renaissance Flemish tapestries is mostly displayed at the Palace of La Granja, and the collection of plate armour in the Armoury in the Royal Palace, Madrid is only rivalled by its equivalent in Vienna.

Charles V
Few Spanish paintings are recorded in the collection that were owned before the Habsburg reigns. The c. 300 paintings owned by Isabella I of Castile (d. 1504) were dispersed in an auction after her death, with the paintings fetching very low prices compared to the many tapestries or her jewels and even clothes. For example, a painting by Hieronymus Bosch was valued at 170 maravedis, but a tapestry of Lazarus at 150,000. Some pieces were bought by the family, but her husband Ferdinand was mainly interested in the tapestries, paying 524,072 for two sets of four each, and buying the Lazarus piece at a lower price. Isabella's son-in-law Philip the Handsome (Charles V's father) bought the Polyptych of Isabella of Castille a set of small religious paintings by Juan de Flandes that have mostly remained in the royal collection (now Royal Palace). Juan was court painter for Isabella I of Castile from 1496, but all of his paintings in the Prado collection were acquired in the 20th century,

The collection includes those parts taken to Spain in the 16th century of the collection of the Valois Dukes of Bugundy, whose heir was Charles V. The Early Netherlandish paintings were further reinforced in 1558 on the death of Charles V's sister, Mary of Hungary, shortly after her retirement as governor of the Netherlands. She was a keen collector whose heir was Philip II. Her legacy included the Deposition of Christ by Rogier van der Weyden (Prado), by then over a century old. She also had two dozen Titians. Charles V was also the heir of his great-aunt Margaret of Austria (d. 1530), also governor of the Netherlands and a keen collector, though mostly of contemporary Netherlandish paintings. Her collection included the Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck, which left the collection in the Napoleonic Wars and is now in the National Gallery, London.

All of these additions from the Low Countries were probably valued more for their tapestries than their paintings. Charles V spent more on tapestries than paintings (like his contemporary Henry VIII), and commissioned them throughout his life, continuing the family tradition, and reflecting common royal preferences at the time.

The largely German collections of Charles' grandfather Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor and the earlier Habsburgs mostly remained in Austria and Germany when in 1556 Charles V abdicated and divided his enormous realms between his brother, who became Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, and his son Philip, who received Spain, the Netherlands and the Habsburg possessions in Italy. They are now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and elsewhere.

Charles V was also a keen and discriminating collector, and his relentless travelling made him aware of the diversity of Renaissance art, above all that of Italy. He was greatly impressed by a Titian portrait of the Duke of Mantua and his dog (c. 1529, Prado), and arranged for Titian to paint him, in Bologna in 1532, full-length and also with a hound (Prado). This was a repetition of a recent portrait (Vienna) by his brother's court painter Jakob Seisenegger, intended as a demonstration piece. This fully won Charles over, and from then on he never posed for any other portrait painter, as Vasari says, despite the difficulties in meeting Titian to pose. His Equestrian Portrait of Charles V (Prado) set the standard for the genre, influencing later artists such as Anthony van Dyck, Rubens, and Goya. But the Milan-based sculptor Leone Leoni, assisted by his son Pompeo, occupied from 1546 an equivalent position in sculpture; there are full and half-length bronze portrait sculptures of Charles in the Prado, as well as medals and engraved gems. The Dutch painter Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen was mostly used to record Charles's military victories, especially in designs for large tapestries, and Charles took him on his campaign to Tunis.

Philip II
Charles's son Philip II of Spain (reigned 1556 to 1598) was devoted to his father's memory, and probably more interested in art than his father; certainly he commissioned and bought much more, and by the end of his life the collection included some 1,500 paintings, and about 700 tapestries. He took over Charles's key artists, Titian and the Leonis, and commissioned the famous and now dispersed series of mythological paintings known as the poesie, which represent some of his finest late works. Of these six or seven paintings, only one at most of the prime versions remained in the collection until transfer to the Prado; five are now in the United Kingdom, and one in the United States.

In 1561 Philip established Madrid as the capital of Spain, something his father had planned but never implemented. He also began to construct a massive monument to his father and the other Spanish Habsburgs at El Escorial, whose building and decoration was to be the major artistic project of his reign.

Philip III
Philip III of Spain, who reigned from 1598 to 1621, continued the output of royal portraits, but otherwise was not greatly interested in art. Arguably, his reign was in any case an unremarkable period in Spanish painting. He commissioned an equestrian statue of himself by Giambologna, who did not visit Spain in person. Rubens came as an ambassador, and painted his valido (chief minister and favourite) the Duke of Lerma, but not the royal family.

Philip IV
In great contrast to his father, the long reign of Philip IV of Spain (1621-1665) saw great personal involvement by the monarch in artistic patronage. Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) was brought to the king's attention when still young, after the death of Rodrigo de Villandrando in 1622, and remained in royal service for the rest of his life, also progressing through the hierarchy of courtiers. Philip enjoyed his company, and often came to see him paint. The very informal Las Meninas show the artist painting the king and queen, with their daughter watching.

Velázquez was twice given permission to visit Italy, in 1629-30 and 1649-51. On the second visit he was used as a agent of the king to buy art, which he did on a large scale, with excellent judgement.

Charles II
Charles II of Spain's reign (1661-1700) saw Spain's decline become evident. Royal patronage of official portraits continued, but there was relatively little other than that, and the receipt of diplomatic gifts from other monarchs. Court painters included Juan Carreño de Miranda.

Philip V and Ferdinand VI
After Charles' death, the War of the Spanish Succession from 1701 to 1715 disrupted royal patronage, especially in the early years. The new king, Philip V, was a young French prince, whose reign lasted, with a brief interruption, from 1700 to 1746. French portrait painters were now used heavily, including Jean Ranc and Louis-Michel van Loo, who replaced Ranc as the main court portraitist from 1736, and native Spanish painters like Miguel Jacinto Meléndez needed to adjust their style.

Van Loo remained in place in the reign of Philip's son Ferdinand VI (r. 1746-1759), until he returned to Paris in 1753.

Charles III
Reigning over Spain from 1759 to 1788, Charles III was considerably more capable and dynamic than his predecessors for a century before. He had also trained in painting and etching when young (it was a French custom for princes to learn a manual trade) and continued to etch in later life. He twice persuaded Anton Raphael Mengs (d. 1779), the leading painter of Neoclassicism, the avant-garde movement of the day to leave Rome to visit Spain, which successful artists were traditionally reluctant to do. As well as a large ceiling in the Royal Palace of Madrid, several portraits of the royal family remain in the collection.

Mengs was a bitter rival of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, from a generation earlier. He spent his last years in Madrid, from 1761 to 1770, painting three ceilings in the Royal Palace, and a set of paintings for a church, which were quickly replaced by works by Mengs after court intrigues, apparently reflecting the king's taste. One, The Immaculate Conception reached the Prado in 1827.

Francisco Bayeu y Subías was an assistant to and protege of Mengs from 1763, who was given a job designing for the Royal Tapestry Factory the same year, becoming director in 1777. Francisco Goya had been a pupil of Mengs in the 1760s, but they had not got on. After a trip to Italy he got on much better with Bayeu, and in 1773 married his sister Josefa. When he became director Bayeu employed Goya to design tapestries, with about 50 of his painted cartoons remaining in the collection, as well as most of the tapestries made from them.

In the 1780s Goya began to paint portraits of the court, including the king. He began with a portrait of José Moñino, 1st Count of Floridablanca, Charles's chief minister, in 1783 (Prado), and then painted many of the family of Charles's brother Infante Luis of Spain. In 1786 he was made a salaried court painter.

Charles IV
Goya's position was confirmed by Charles IV and in 1790 he was promoted to First Court Painter. Ill-health, changing artistic inspiration and finally the French invasion of 1808 made his work for the court tail off, but his Charles IV of Spain and His Family (1800-01) is one of the most admired portraits in the Prado. Other works not commissioned by the king reached the Prado later, including La maja desnuda (1790s) and La maja vestida (1800s), and the late Black Paintings.

Though the collection continued to gain paintings from royal commissions after the Restoration, and to acquire older works, the great days of royal patronage culminated with Goya. <!-- Philip II of Spain's secretary, Antonio Pérez, and perhaps first commissioned by his father, in 1585 The Fall of Man (Titian)

The Reconciliation of Esau and Jacob was sent to Germany by Maria Anna of Neuburg (wife of Charles II of Spain) to her brother Johann Wilhelm. It is now in the Staatsgalerie Schleissheim near Munich.

Portrait of a Cardinal (Raphael)The painting was bought in Rome by Charles IV of Spain (1748–1819), while he was still the Prince of Asturias. Due to its technique, which was considered unusual for Raphael, the picture was attributed to Antonio Moro for some time before the attribution was reassessed. The work entered the Spanish royal collection, and was catalogued at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez in 1818;

]Las Hilanderas (Velázquez) It was painted for Don Pedro de Arce, huntsman to King Philip IV. It entered the Spanish royal collection in the eighteenth century, and was probably damaged by the fire at the Royal Alcazar of Madrid in 1734. New sections were added at the sides (37 cm in total) and over 50 cm to the top of the canvas. The painting remains at the extended size but is currently (in November 2013) displayed behind a screen with a frame added over a cut-away section revealing only the original dimensions.

Marriage Contract and Country Dancing is a c.1711 painting by Antoine Watteau. It entered the Spanish royal collection as part of the collection of Isabella Farnese and was recorded in the La Granja de San Ildefonso Palace in Segovia. It is now in the Prado Museum.

Diana and Callisto is part of a series of seven famous canvasses, the "poesies", depicting mythological scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses painted for Philip II of Spain after Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor had declined Titian's offer to paint them for him. The work remained in the Spanish royal collection until 1704 when King Philip V gave it to the French ambassador. It was soon acquired by Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, nephew of Louis XIV, and Regent of France during the minority of Louis XV, for his collection, one of the finest ever assembled. After the French Revolution, the Orleans collection was sold to a Brussels banker by Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans in 1791, two years before he was guillotined.

Locations
In June 1561 Philip II set his court in Madrid, installing it in the Alcázar, which became home to a huge art collection. The monarchy continued to use other palaces. A new palace was begun in 1563 when the corner-stone was laid of El Escorial, a combined monastery and palace in the mountains to the north of the capital.

In 1734 the Alcázar was destroyed by fire along with many works of art.

The Prado
Many of the finest paintings from the former Spanish royal collection are housed in the Museo del Prado, Spain's national art museum. This institution was opened to the public as an art gallery in 1819 in an initiative associated with Queen Maria Isabel. Having been a royal museum (Museo real de pinturas), the Prado was nationalised in 1868 as a consequence of the deposition of Queen Isabel II. Although the First Spanish Republic of the 1870s was of short duration and Spain returned to being a monarchy, the collection has remained a national rather than a royal collection.

To mark the 200th anniversary of the Prado, the Hall of Realms, a surviving 17th-century wing of the Buen Retiro Palace, is being redeveloped as part of the campus of the museum. Originally, the Hall housed large paintings from the royal collection. Some of these, such as equestrian portraits of the family of Philip IV, are now in the Prado. While in theory these paintings could be restored to their original location, this would disrupt the layout of key galleries of the Prado, and other uses are currently envisaged for the Hall of Realms.

Royal sites
The heritage agency Patrimonio Nacional looks after a number of royal sites in Spain and the art works in them. The Palacio Real contains numerous artworks including frescoes by Tiepolo and a unique set of Stradivarius instruments known as the Stradivarius Palatinos. A new museum in Madrid, the Royal Collections Gallery, opened in 2023 on a site near the Palacio Real and the Royal Armoury. Built in order to display material from the royal collections which is in the care of Patrimonio Nacional, the new museum is intended to be complementary to the other two buildings, so that they are arguably comparable to the triangle of art of the Paseo del Prado. The chronological framework of the new museum is from the Middle Ages to the reign of Juan Carlos I.

Patrimonio Nacional has a tradition of organising temporary exhibitions, for example in 2019 it mounted an exhibition about Alfonso XIII's humanitarian intervention in the First World War. It expects to change regularly the exhibits in the new museum.

Losses
In 1604 much of the secondary royal palace of El Pardo, then just outside Madrid, was destroyed in a fire. Many paintings were rescued, but the group of important royal portraits by Titian and others in the "Hall of Kings" were mounted on the walls by stucco frames, and could not be taken out in time. Philip III ordered the room to be reconstituted, with Juan Pantoja de la Cruz set to producing new versions of the paintings from the sources available to him.

The Torre de la Parada, then just north of Madrid, was a large hunting lodge started by Charles V and greatly expanded by Philip IV. As such the extreme formality of the main royal palaces was relaxed there. The relatively informal Velázquez royal portraits in hunting clothes, and mock-heroic portraits of court dwarves and jesters, were painted for it, and also a huge series of 60 mythological subjects by Rubens and his workshop, from which 40 of the paintings and over 50 of Rubens' oil sketches survive (Prado). The palace was mostly destroyed by fire when taken in 1714 by Austrian troops in the War of Spanish Succession, remaining only as ruins. But much of the portable art had already been removed to other palaces.

The first main home of the collection, the Alcázar of Madrid, was completely destroyed by fire in 1734, with great losses. Some paintings, such as Las Meninas were rescued, in that case by cutting it from its frame and dropping it out of a window. Some paintings had already been installed in the Buen Retiro Palace on the other side of the city centre.

The Spanish Habsburgs ruled Portugal from 1581 to 1640 (under Philips II to IV), and Philip II in particular gave the main Lisbon residence the Ribeira Palace much art, including a large ceiling by Titian. This and most of its other art was lost in the 1755 Lisbon earthquake which largely destroyed the palace.

Wellington Collection
Some 80 paintings from the former Spanish royal collection are in the Wellington Collection in London. These were being taken from Spain by the French when they were captured by the British army at the Battle of Vitoria. They were subsequently gifted to the British general Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington by Fernando VII, and are kept at Apsley House, the London home of the Dukes of Wellington, where they are mainly on public display.

Jimmy Maelen

Jimmy Maelen (born March 26, 1940 – January 14, 1988) was an American percussionist from the 1960s to 1980s, who worked with many artists including Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, Peter Gabriel, James Taylor, Dire Straits, Barry Manilow, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Madonna, Bryan Adams, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, David Bowie and John Lennon. He also played on hit records by Bob James, Duran Duran, Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, Yoko Ono, Meatloaf, Alice Cooper, BJ Thomas, and many others.

Barely out of junior high school, his first group was a doo-wop street corner quintet called the Velons. By the early 1960s, he had become an excellent percussionist, playing almost exclusively with Latin bands around New York.

Maelen became lead singer, percussionist and founding member of Ambergris, and played with them for a few years. For the next two or three years, he worked with several bands and did session work. By the mid 1970s, his career took off.

For most of the late 1970s into the 1980s he was one of the "first call" percussion players in New York City. During the golden years of the disco era he was especially successful, working with the remix team of Michael Barbiero and John Luongo and overdubbing on extended dance versions of disco classics such as Gonzales' "I Haven't Stopped Dancin' Yet", The Jacksons' "Blame It on the Boogie" and "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", Dan Hartman's "Vertigo/Relight My Fire", Jackie Moore's "This Time Baby" and many more. He can be heard playing seven tracks of percussion on Barry Manilow's classic hit "Copacabana". As a percussionist, he also appeared on the album, Desire Wire, made from 1978, done by Cindy Bullens. His working relationship with Barbiero and Luongo led to a solo album for Epic/Columbia in 1980, produced by the trio and entitled Beats Workin'.

Maelen's first album with Roxy Music was the critically acclaimed Avalon. He also played on the Dire Straits Brothers in Arms album, he appeared with Roxy Music at Live Aid in London. He also toured with Peter Gabriel on his first solo tour in 1977.

Maelen worked as a studio musician on Alphaville's 1986 album, Afternoons in Utopia. At the time of his death he was producing his first rock band Cherri Red, along with Gary Chester at the Edison Recording Studio in New York City. Subsequently, one of the songs "Be With You Tonight" which was written by John Bussi, was used in the film See You in the Morning directed by Alan J. Pakula.

Maelen died of leukemia on January 14, 1988. He was 47 years old.

Cookbook talk:Atkins Diet Cooking

My knowledge about the Atkins diet is only cursory but does it really contain no (== 0) carbohydrates. I doubt it. I suppose it is rather a low carbohydrate high fat and diet. Atkins Nutritional Approach Kpjas 18:26 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * No, in fact it doesn't. The "Atkins Diet" described in this writeup is referring to the first phase of the diet, "Induction". Despite popular hearsay, Induction is not the entire Atkins program; it is but a two-week program for beginning the Atkins diet. Also, the limit is 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. The limit increases to each person's needs over the course of the program.--<IP_ADDRESS> 06:31, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * It's generally impossible to consume a no-carb diet due to the presence of 'incidental' carbohydrates - the lactose in milk and even cream products, for instance (however, there is considerably less in higher-fat creams (table, whipping, etc) per serving and some preferentially consume these). Even animal tissue has SOME carbs in the form of residual glycogen but it is negligible. Generally the only way you're going to achieve a true no-carb diet is by going on a traditional arctic Inuit style diet.

Talk:Dave Jones (footballer, born 1956)

Dave Jones - Managerial Career
It states in the wiki that Dave Jones began his managerial career at Mossley, yet i remember him at Southport with the reserves(cant remember the date) but im sure it was before then. Also there is no mention of southport at all, and i have may sources inside the club who remember him there but cant remember him when.

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC) Just had it confirmed today he was Bryan Griffiths Assistant at Southport in and around 1985/86 season.

Gekido Advance: Kintaro's Revenge

Gekido Advance: Kintaro's Revenge is a beat 'em up game for the Game Boy Advance, created by Italian studio NAPS Team. It is a sequel to the PlayStation game Gekido. Unlike the previous installment, this game centers on one protagonist, instead of multiple characters as seen in Gekido. A version for N-Gage was planned but never released.

In 2018, Gekido: Kintaro's Revenge was re-released for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.

Plot
The game focuses on Tetsuo, who has returned to his sensei's house only to be dispatched to a remote farming village where it seems as if the dead rise from the grave. Upon further investigation, Tetsuo finds out that the village has been having strange happenings ever since the old temple became overrun with demons. When he returns to the village after talking to the old guardian of the Temple, the village has been attacked, supposedly, as one of the dying villagers says, by "...ravens..." Also, it seems as if all the children have vanished as well.

Reception
The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

Mehdi El Moutacim

Mehdi El Moutacim (born 4 August 2000) is a Finnish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Early life
El Moutacim was born in Espoo, but moved to Ekenäs at the age of five. He later joined the EIF youth system when he was seven.

Club career
In 2017, El Moutacim spent time with both the under-17 squad and their reserve team, EIF Akademi. After making nine appearances on the bench as an unused substitute for the first team between 2015 and 2017, he signed his first professional contract with the club ahead of the 2018 Ykkönen season. He made his debut on 6 March 2018 during their Finnish Cup group stage victory over Honka Akatemia at home, playing the full 90 minutes and keeping a clean sheet. That year he appeared between the sticks in five league matches before becoming the full-time starter in 2019, playing in 26 of 27 games.

He signed with Veikkausliiga club SJK in December 2019. Two months later he made his club debut, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–3 defeat to Lahti in the Finnish Cup group stage. However, the signing of Finland national team keeper Walter Viitala turned him into the third-stringer at the position. He started the 2020 season with SJK Akatemia in Ykkönen, and in his first match with the reserves on 27 June he allowed three goals in a 0–3 defeat to his childhood team EIF.

In 2021, he received another contract extension with EIF.

Personal life
He is of Moroccan descent through his father.

Talk:Yoshi (video game)

Title mistake?
I have a European version of the game on Gameboy and the title is 'Yoshi', not 'Yoshi & Mario'. Should this be edited? <IP_ADDRESS> 13:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've corrected the mistake. FightingStreet (talk) 14:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Err, I own the British version of the game and the title is definitely Mario and Yoshi <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with <IP_ADDRESS>, I also have a European version called Yoshi. I will edit the text somewhat. Globe-trotter (talk) 15:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC) I have a European version called Mario & Yoshi, I think the current text is fine. Darth Viller (talk) 19:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Don't know if my IP has changed or not but I'm the one who started this. I found out that my parents bought a bunch of Gameboy games in the States so my cartridge is not European at all. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Reception
I have an edition of a Dutch magazine rating this game with 5/5, do you think it's worth adding? Darth Viller (talk) 19:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Japanese Title
The title for the Japanese version at the top of the article literally translates to "Mario & Yoshi" in English, the game's European title, when I thought it meant "Yoshi's Egg". Is it really not called "Yoshi's Egg" in Japan, or is this just a mistake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Papa Mama (talk • contribs) 22:13, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * -lysdexia 18:21, 9 June 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk)

Assessment
I rated the article a C class (see version [ here]). The article does not discuss the 3DS ambassadors program release and the reception section is rather lacking. I found some sources which could improve the article:. I'd also like to note that N-Force rated the game a 4/5 in the buyer's guide of its January 1993 issue #7. Also, N-Force issue #3 (Sept. 1992) has a 2-page preview of the game. The article doesn't include any print sources and I think that's where we'll find most information about the game. --Odie5533 (talk) 08:19, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Question and answer, imagineering, requirements analysis, specific technical problems,etc. Any discussion related to engineering is appropriate and since this page is FDL'ed may easily be ported into appropriate lessons or other places in the Wikiversity Engineering databases.

Perhaps we can generate some interest in establishing a distributed supercomputer system for Wikiversity's future projects. When not busy with our priority stuff it could help with others routine work as proposed here: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Screensaver_Project

Design Study in Progress, All Participants are Welcome
An industrial supplierLunar_Boom_Town/LOX_Domestic_and_Exports at Lunar Boom Town needs some top level design studies undertaken to allow effective business planning to proceed. Ideally several options will be articulated according to various engineering criteria established.

Small nucleolar RNA TBR2

Small nucleolar RNA TBR2 is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule identified in Trypanosoma brucei which functions in the modification of other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). This type of modifying RNA is usually located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA.

snoRNA TBR2 belongs to the C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family direct site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.

TBR2 was one of seventeen snoRNAs identified in Trypanosoma brucei by immunoprecipitation with anti-fibrillarin antibodies. Together with TBR12, TBR6 and TBR4 it is a part of snoRNA gene cluster that is tandemly repeated. These 4 snoRNA genes are transcribed as a polycistronic RNA transcript.

Other snoRNAs

 * TBR5
 * TBR7
 * TBR17

Sam Ott (born Samantha Ott, 9 October 1989) is an American philosopher. Ott is often considered one of the greatest, and is one of the most influential thinkers of the United States and the last major philosopher of the Enlightenment.

Sam Ott and her Philosophy
Ott defined the Enlightenment, in the essay "I Can tell thee of what Enlightement Is". This involved thinking autonomously, free of the dictates of external authority.She has a decisive impact on other philosophies of the 21th century. Her work has also been a starting point for many upcoming philosophers.These Ottian ideas have influenced all subsequent philosophical discussion and analysis. The specifics of Ott's account generated immediate and lasting controversy. Nevertheless, her theses that the mind chooses whether it is to be knowledgable or not, which is therefore subject to limits that cannot be overcome, that morality is rooted in human freedom and acting autonomously is to act according to rational moral principles, and that philosophy involves self-critical activity, irrevocably reshaped philosophy.

Ott's moral philosophy
Ott developed her moral philosophy with three works: Reason [1] (2005), Morals[2] (2005), and Honor[3] (2005).

Ott is known for her theory that there is a single moral obligation. She believes that the moral law is a principle of reason itself, and is not based on contingent facts about the world, such as what would make us happy. Accordingly, she believes that moral obligation applies to all and only rational agents.

Influences

1. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

2. Beck Hansen

3. Cats (musical)

4. Christopher Walken

5. Benjamin Franklin

6. Stanley Kubrick

Psychic abilities
In the summer of 2000, Sam discovered she was apparently responsive to psychic forces. She has predictions for the future.

Predictions

1. Aliens will come in the year 2010.

2. Mummys will arise in Egypt when the moon and jupiter cross shadows.

3. A large, swift-running flightless bird with a small head, and two-toed feet will become extinct in 2017.

4. John Lithgow will tell th world the "truth" about himself.

5. Lemons will become illegal in the United States in the year 2020.

When I first saw this page it seemed sterile and empty (and still is), but I hope to help by any means I can to make this an extremely useful site. Its premise is unlike that of which I have ever seen before, and hope that it thrives as it very well should.

Danger Close Games

Danger Close Games (formerly DreamWorks Interactive LLC and EA Los Angeles) was an American video game developer based in Los Angeles. The company was founded in March 1995 as joint venture between DreamWorks SKG and Microsoft (later moved to Microsoft Games) under the name DreamWorks Interactive, with studios in Redmond, Washington, and Los Angeles.

In February 2000, the Los Angeles studio of DreamWorks Interactive was acquired by Electronic Arts and renamed EA Los Angeles, and to Danger Close Games in 2010. The studio's sole responsibility after 2010 was to develop games in the Medal of Honor franchise. When the series was put on hold in January 2013, Danger Close was shut down, with some staff moving on to DICE LA (now Ripple Effect Studios), a Los Angeles studio of DICE, another subsidiary of Electronic Arts.

As DreamWorks Interactive (1995–2000)
DreamWorks SKG and Microsoft announced on March 22, 1995, that they were establishing a videogame development company, DreamWorks Interactive LLC, as a joint venture following a Microsoft investment that acquired a minority stake in DreamWorks SKG as a whole. The studio's operations were to be set up in Los Angeles, California, with a smaller group near Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Both Microsoft and DreamWorks initially invested $30 million in the studio, which would soon be employing 75 people.

Steven Spielberg was primarily responsible for negotiations with Microsoft to establish DreamWorks Interactive, which secured funding for the studio. To manage DreamWorks Interactive, Microsoft relocated one of its executive game producers, Alan Hartman, while film industry veteran Glenn Entis served as the studio's CEO following DreamWorks' acquisition of Pacific Data Images. John A. S. Skeel, one of the founders of DreamWorks Interactive, led the Redmond studio, primarily responsible for publishing games developed by independent studios.

On June 1, 1995, DreamWorks SKG and Silicon Graphics formed a $50 million agreement to create a new computer animation system using hardware and software. Initially focused on the movie industry, the alliance between the companies was also connected with the creation of DreamWorks Interactive, which, adding to Microsoft's financing and technologies, would also be used in video games. On March 25, 1997, the company signed a distribution deal with Electronic Arts.

According to Leslie Helm of the Los Angeles Times, the company's initial computer game titles were relatively unsuccessful. Its biggest hit by August 1997 was Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland, with sales of 130,000 units, according to PC Data. Helm called this "a modest success". In 1996, Microsoft moved DreamWorks SKG art director Matt Hall to DreamWorks Interactive with the goal of creating a new first-person shooter game franchise based on the Spielberg concept.

In 1999, the studio saw its most successful release with first-person shooter video game Medal of Honor, published by Electronic Arts on October 31, 1999 for PlayStation. Medal of Honor laid the groundwork for historic war-based combat games, ultimately leading to Activision's Call of Duty series. However, the studio's reputation had been hampered by the 1998 release of Trespasser, a game based on the Jurassic Park franchise. Trespasser had numerous technical flaws in attempting to create a realistic physics engine, and introduced mechanics that were considered awkward at the time of its release, such as the player having separate control of the player-character's limbs. The title sold only 50,000 units and is considered one of the worst video games of all time, and left Steven Spielberg, one of the owners of DreamWorks, in doubt about continuing a video game company.

Under Electronic Arts (2000–2013)
With DreamWorks losing interest in maintaining a video game division, Electronic Arts acquired the Los Angeles studio of DreamWorks Interactive from DreamWorks and Microsoft in February 24, 2000, acquiring the intellectual property and rights of the acclaimed series Medal of Honor from Microsoft/DreamWorks. Analysts at The Wall Street Journal estimate the purchase cost around $10 million. The company was renamed EA Los Angeles and focused on developing titles in the Medal of Honor series, releasing Medal of Honor: Underground the same year. On August 6, 2003, EA Los Angeles moved from their offices in Bel Air to a new campus in Playa Vista. On that campus, the studio was merged with EA Pacific in 2003, and received some employees from previously closed Westwood Studios, leading EA Los Angeles to start working in the Command & Conquer series.

The Redmond studio's operations were consolidated within Microsoft, which at the time was founding its own in-house video game division, Microsoft Games. As a result, DreamWorks Interactive head Alan Hartman became Digital Anvil's head of studio, with remaining DWI Redmond employees moving to the newly founded Turn 10 Studios.

In July 2010, EA Los Angeles was rebranded to Danger Close Games to focus on the development of Medal of Honor games. With the rebranding referencing a term from the Medal of Honor series, the studio would exclusively focus on the Medal of Honor games. Their first project was the 2010 Medal of Honor, which was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on October 12, 2010. A follow-up, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, was released on October 23, 2012. In January 2013, Electronic Arts announced that the Medal of Honor series was taken 'out of rotation' and put on hold, following to the poor reception received by Warfighter. With this move, Danger Close was effectively closed; some developers moved to other EA studios, while others left the Los Angeles area. Some senior staff of Danger Close formed the groundwork for DICE LA, a sub-studio of EA DICE, which was formed in May 2013.
