# Oneworld Publications

**Oneworld Publications** is a British independent publishing firm founded in 1986 by Novin Doostdar and Juliet Mabey originally to publish accessible non-fiction by experts and academics for the general market.

## History

Oneworld Publications was founded in 1986 by Novin Doostdar and Juliet Mabey, who had met as students in the 1970s and subsequently married; the company's name reflects their international approach to publishing with global values, initially producing non-fiction "with a focus on bold, intelligent non-fiction across the humanities".

In 2009, Oneworld launched a literary fiction list to focus on publishing inspiring, intelligent and thought-provoking novels from around the world. The list has received a string of prizes and award nominations, among them winning the prestigious Man Booker Prize for two years running: in 2015 with *A Brief History of Seven Killings* by Marlon James, the first Jamaican to win this prestigious award, and in 2016 with *The Sellout* by Paul Beatty, who became the first American winner of the prize.

# István Levente Garai

**István Levente Garai** (15 June 1955 – 25 December 2018) was a Hungarian physician and politician, member of the National Assembly (MP) for Kiskunfélegyháza (Bács-Kiskun County Constituency V) from 1994 to 1998 and from 2006 to 2010. He was also a Member of Parliament from the Bács-Kiskun County regional list of the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) from 2004 to 2006 and from 2010 to 2014.

## Biography

Garai was born in Berettyóújfalu on 15 June 1955, as the son of teacher István Garai Sr. and health visitor Erzsébet Szabó. He finished his elementary studies in Szank and secondary studies in Kiskunfélegyháza, where graduated at the Móra Ferenc Secondary School in 1973. He earned his degree of general practitioner at the Medical University of Szeged (today a faculty of the University of Szeged, SZTE) in 1979. He started his professional career in the local hospital of Kiskunfélegyháza. He made a special examination of internal medicine in 1985.

He was elected to the local council of Kiskunfélegyháza in 1985, serving in this capacity until 1990. He chaired its health and social committee. He joined the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party (MSZMP) in 1988. After Mihály Korom resigned from his parliamentary seat (Bács-Kiskun County Constituency VIII) under social pressure on 30 May 1989, Garai was nominated the ruling communist party's candidate for the position. He won the two by-elections held throughout in 1989, but turnout was too low to make the ballots valid in both cases. Garai was a founder of the local organization Democratic Youth Federation of Kiskunfélegyháza (Fédisz), which initially was established as an autonomous regional branch of the Hungarian Democratic Youth League (DEMISZ) in Kiskunfélegyháza, the short-lived successor organization of the Hungarian Young Communist League (KISZ). Its first congress elected Garai as leader of the organization. Meanwhile, he also joined the newly established Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) in October 1989, the legal successor of the MSZMP. The Fédisz transformed itself as a party to the 1990 parliamentary election. They made an electoral coalition with the local Regional Democratic Youth Alliance (Tedisz) from Kiskunmajsa, the two parties had only one individual candidate, István Levente Garai, who ran in the Kiskunfélegyháza constituency and came to the fourth place. During the 1990 municipal election, he was elected to the local representative body of Kiskunfélegyháza as the list leader of Fédisz, where he chaired the health, social and family protection committee, and was also a member of the culture, education and youth committee.

Garai participated in the 1994 parliamentary election as a candidate of the Socialist Party and secured an individual mandate, representing his hometown Kiskunfélegyháza. He sat in the Social and Health Committee until the 1998 parliamentary election, when he lost his parliamentary seat against Fidesz candidate Sándor Endre. Garai was again defeated by Endre in the 2002 parliamentary election, while MSZP became the governing force. However, Garai secured a mandate two years later from his party's Bács-Kiskun County regional list on 27 August 2004, when replaced Csaba Tabajdi, who was elected to the European Parliament. He worked for the Social and Family Committee until 2006 and the Committee on Foreign Affairs for a brief time. He was a member of the Health Committee from 2004 to 2014. Meanwhile, Garai served as deputy mayor of Kiskunfélegyháza between 2002 and 2010, and was considered a strong local ally of mayor József Ficsór (SZDSZ). During the 2006 parliamentary election, Garai defeated Endre after two unsuccessful attempts and became MP for Kiskunfélegyháza again after eight years. In the 2010 parliamentary election, he lost to Krisztián Kapus (Fidesz). He became a Member of Parliament through the Socialists' Bács-Kiskun County regional list. Garai was nominated to the MSZP's candidate for the mayoral position of Kiskunfélegyháza in the 2010 local elections, after Ficsór retired from politics, but he was again defeated by Kapus. Garai functioned as MP until the 2014 parliamentary election, when he ran as a joint candidate of the Unity parties in Kiskunfélegyháza (Bács-Kiskun County Constituency IV), but came only to the third place after Sándor Lezsák (Fidesz) and László Kollár (Jobbik).

title: Twilight of the Superheroes

abstract: Twilight of the Superheroes is the title of a proposed comic book crossover that writer Alan Moore submitted to DC Comics in 1987 before his split with the company. Although various elements suggested by Moore later occurred in various comics, Twilight was never produced. The proposal gained fame after surfacing on the internet in the 1990s where its status as a lost work by one of the superstars of the medium, as well as its dark treatment of superheroes, garnered much attention. The title refers to Ragnarök from Norse mythology. The story was to be set two decades in the future of the DC Universe and would feature the ultimate final battle between the heroes of Earth, including the older and younger generations of superheroes, as well as the supervillains and some extraterrestrials who inhabited Earth in the DC continuity. Twilight was conceived as a standalone limited series which could also be tied to ongoing titles at the other writers' consent, much like the then-recent 12-issue limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths. The complete text of the story was released in December 2020 by DC Comics.

# Twilight of the Superheroes

***Twilight of the Superheroes*** is the title of a proposed comic book crossover that writer Alan Moore submitted to DC Comics in 1987 before his split with the company. Although various elements suggested by Moore later occurred in various comics, *Twilight* was never produced. The proposal gained fame after surfacing on the internet in the 1990s where its status as a lost work by one of the superstars of the medium, as well as its dark treatment of superheroes, garnered much attention.

The title refers to Ragnarök from Norse mythology. The story was to be set two decades in the future of the DC Universe and would feature the ultimate final battle between the heroes of Earth, including the older and younger generations of superheroes, as well as the supervillains and some extraterrestrials who inhabited Earth in the DC continuity. *Twilight* was conceived as a standalone limited series which could also be tied to ongoing titles at the other writers' consent, much like the then-recent 12-issue limited series *Crisis on Infinite Earths*.

The complete text of the story was released in December 2020 by DC Comics.

## Background

Various web sources preface the proposal by claiming that it originated in 1987, after Moore had made a name for himself with comics such as *Swamp Thing* before his departure from DC. The proposal itself is prefaced with a disquisition in which Moore talks about his thoughts on the superhero genre, the problems of crossovers as a marketing and storytelling device, and his overall goals with the project. With regard to superheroes, Moore stated that one problem with the genre was the lack of a definitive end to the story of most heroes; in the manner that the Norse Gods, for instance, had a definitive end. He felt that this prevented superheroes from achieving the iconic status that they might otherwise acquire and praised Frank Miller's *Batman: The Dark Knight Returns* as an effort to provide such an end point for at least one DC hero. On the subject of crossovers as a storytelling tool, Moore criticised them as either forcing other books to make tentative connections to a central storyline, or forcing readers to buy comics they otherwise would not for fear of not understanding the storyline. His goal for the *Twilight* proposal was to address both of these concerns by providing an end point for the DC superhero universe, as well as providing a crossover which would logically tie into the company's various books without forcing readers to buy numerous titles.

## The proposal

The framing device of the story involves future versions of John Constantine and Rip Hunter travelling to the present day, ostensibly to prevent a catastrophe involving the superheroes of their time. The hook through which the series would connect with other titles is the attempts of the two time travelers to recruit others into their quest to alter the future through warning them of upcoming events. Individual books in the DC Universe could tie into the crossover or not, as their creators wished, by having Hunter or Constantine show up and warn the stars of the book of some event. The main narrative of the series involves Constantine relating the story of what has happened in the future to his present-day self over drinks in a bar.

The series was set in the future where the world is ruled by superheroic dynasties, including the House of Steel (presided over by Superman and his wife Wonder Woman) and the House of Thunder (consisting of the Marvel Family) as well as houses built around the Teen Titans, the Justice League, and an alliance of supervillains. The Houses of Steel and Thunder are about to unite through the marriage of Superboy and Mary Marvel Jr., the daughter of Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel, with their combined power potentially threatening the status quo, and several characters attempt to stop it. One group of opponents is a shadowy cabal of non-powered heroes led by Batman. Another involves an alien alliance of the Green Lantern Corps, Martians, and Thanagarians. Constantine's narrative of the future ends with a massive battle between the various factions, resulting in the death of most of the superpowered characters.

A side story would show a decaying superhero ghetto where decrepit versions of old heroes live. In the final part of the present time framing device it would be revealed that Hunter and Constantine had traveled back in time not to prevent the future they came from, but to ensure its coming true. The final battle depicted in the book resulted in humanity being freed from the control of superheroes, a prospect that Hunter and Constantine supported.

The series would have restored the DC Multiverse, which had been eliminated in the 1985 mini-series *Crisis on Infinite Earths*. However, the series would also have been a significantly darker take on DC characters than had previously been published, with many of the future versions of the heroes depicted as murderers, perverts, and tyrants. A central plot element of the series, for example, involves the Question investigating the bondage-themed murder of someone who turns out to be Billy Batson. The series was never commissioned, but copies of Moore's detailed notes have appeared on the Internet and in print, despite the efforts of DC, which considers the proposal its property.

A number of story elements from *Twilight of the Superheroes* have made their way into works later published by DC Comics. The 1991 crossover *Armageddon 2001*, for example, involves a messenger from the future traveling to the present to convince superheroes to avoid a disastrous future. A dark future vision of superheroes as irresponsible was shown in the series *Kingdom Come*. DC later introduced a more flexible approach to continuity, similar to what Moore proposed, with the idea of Hypertime. Finally, the miniseries *Infinite Crisis*, along with the series *52*, reintroduced the multiverse to DC comics. Other changes to individual characters that appear in the proposal, such as the Teen Titan Cyborg becoming almost wholly mechanical, were introduced as well.

## Internet leak

As the years passed after Moore's departure from DC, the proposal for *Twilight* started to leak onto various websites on the Internet. For a time there was some speculation as to the document's authenticity, but it has been confirmed by both DC and Moore. At least one website was threatened with legal action by DC, which claimed to hold the copyright on the proposal, an action whose legitimacy is disputed.


title: Melanochromis chipokae

abstract: Melanochromis chipokae is a species of cichlid in the Cichlidae endemic to Lake Malawi where it is only known to occur at Chipoka. It lives in habitats characterized by patches of sand amongst rock. This piscivorous species can reach a length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in) SL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade, which is the main threat to this species and which has caused a 90% decline in the population. This has led to the IUCN assessing this species as Critically Endangered.

text:
# The Body Snatchers

***The Body Snatchers*** is a science fiction horror novel by American writer Jack Finney, originally serialized in *Collier's* magazine in November–December 1954 and published in book form the following year.

## Plot

The novel describes the town of Mill Valley, in California's Marin County, being invaded by seeds that have drifted to Earth from space. The seeds, grown from plantlike pods, replace sleeping people with perfect physical duplicates with all the same knowledge, memories, scars, etc. but are incapable of human emotion or feeling. The human victims disappear forever.

The duplicates live only five years and cannot sexually reproduce; consequently, if unstopped, they will quickly turn Earth into a dead planet and move on to the next world. One of the duplicate invaders claims this is what humans do – use up resources, wipe out indigenous populations, and destroy ecosystems in the name of survival.

## Adaptations

The novel has been adapted for the screen four times; the first film, *Invasion of the Body Snatchers* in 1956, the second in 1978, the third in 1993, and the fourth in 2007. It was also the basis of the 1998 movie *The Faculty* and the 2019 movie *Assimilate*.

Unlike the first three film adaptations, which elected for darker, far more dystopian narratives (particularly the 1978 version), the novel contains an optimistic ending, with the aliens voluntarily vacating after deciding that they cannot tolerate the type of resistance they see in the main characters and leaving behind a small population of duplicates who are all hunted and killed shortly after.

## Critical reception

The novel is often compared to *The Puppet Masters* by Robert Heinlein.

In 1967, Damon Knight criticized the novel's scientific incoherence:

> The seed pods, says Finney, drifted across interstellar space to Earth, propelled by light pressure. This echoes a familiar notion, the spore theory of Arrhenius. But the spores referred to are among the smallest living things – small enough to be knocked around by hydrogen molecules...In confusing these minute particles with three-foot seed pods, Finney invalidates his whole argument – and makes ludicrous nonsense of the final scene in which the pods, defeated, float up into the sky to hunt another planet.

Under Jack Finney's entry in *The Science Fiction Encyclopedia*, John Clute remarks concerning the novel:

> Horrifyingly depicts the invasion of a small town by interstellar spores that duplicate human beings, reducing them to dust in the process; the menacing spore-people who remain symbolize, it has been argued, the loss of freedom in contemporary society. Jack Finney's further books are slickly told but less involving.

*Galaxy* reviewer Groff Conklin faulted the original edition, declaring that "Too many s-f novels lack outstanding originality, but this one lacks it to an outstanding degree." *F&SF* reviewer Anthony Boucher found it to be "intensely readable and unpredictably ingenious" despite noticeable inconsistencies and its sometimes lack of scientific accuracy. *Astounding Science-Fiction* reviewer P. Schuyler Miller reported that, once Finney sets out his premise, the novel becomes "a straight chase yarn, with several nice gimmicks and a not entirely convincing denouement."

# The Concert (The General Motors Hour)

"**The Concert**" is a 1961 Australian TV GTV-9's Melbourne studios. It was directed by Rod Kinnear. Australian TV drama was relatively rare at the time. The episode aired on 3 June 1961 in Melbourne, and on 10 June 1961 in Brisbane.

## Plot

Anne is a nurse who is blinded in an air raid during World War Two. Her aim is to move back to France to the village where she was blinded and help blind people. Determined to be independent, she originally lives with her sister Jenny then moves in to her own apartment. While Jenny is away for two weeks, Anne falls for one of her upstairs neighbours, a writer called Jennings, not knowing he is black. Jennings decides not to tell Anne he is black and moves away. He tells his friend Standish about the affair.

## Cast

* Ruth Gower as Anne Rivers
* Chester Harriott as Richard Jennings
* Yvonne Heaslip as Jenny Rivers
* Barbara Brandon as mother
* Cyril Gardner as father
* Moira Carleton as Matron
* Arthur Duncan as Steve
* Donna Duncan as Ella
* George Fairfax as Standish
* Lewis Taggart as landlord

## Production

The play had originally been written as a radio play. The play had been filmed several times in England, including once with Moira Lister in 1954 and once with Diane Cilento.

The stars of the play were an English actor, Ruth Gower, and three black American actors, Chester Harriott, Arthur Duncan and his wife Donna. Ruth Gower had come to Australia in 1960 to appear on stage opposite Basil Rathbone in *Merry Go Round*. It was filmed in Melbourne in October 1960, while Gower was acting at the Princess Theatre in the play. Chester Harriott was then touring Melbourne doing a song-and-piano act with Vic Evans.

## Reception

The TV reviewer for *The Sydney Morning Herald* said that "a number of sets and some individuality in acting could not altogether bind this drama together as firmly as one would wish." Although the script had "its moments of pathos" and "some powerful (if repetitive) things to say about black-white relationships", Ruth Gower "hardly varied her two expressions — of hesitant humour and of proud stubbornness — and she was not able to show fully the qualities the Negro writer finds so compelling" and "the feeling of precise locality varied from scene to scene" and "one missed an abundance of fine, full close-ups—something that cannot be compensated for by any number of sets."

title: The Concert (Gaspare Traversi)

# The Concert (Gaspare Traversi)

**The Concert** is a circa 1760 painting by the Italian late-Baroque painter Gaspare Traversi. This artist, active in Naples Italy, is best known for his humorous and intricate genre works like this one.

## Description

The painting depicts a small crowded room hosting a concert involving either a fortepiano or harpsichord, cello, and flute. The central figure, the bonneted young women dressed in an elegant blue and yellow gown and playing the piano, gazes toward the spectator. To her right and surrounding the piano are fashionably dressed older men. Two hold canes, and two hold private conversations. Two fixate, perhaps leer, at the young woman. One gentleman holds perhaps a small wind instrument in his hand. Near the woman's right foot, is a cat, facing away from us. The scene, somewhat unsettling, appears to convey some cryptic allegory.

An alternative explanation is that the structure, if not subject, of the painting may be derived from a similar *Concerto* picture, attributed to Traversi, and on display at the Casa-Museu Pinacoteca Braamcamp Freire in Santarém, Portugal. The subject of the painting is putatively that of Maria Barbara of Portugal playing the harpsichord, being tutored by a white-haired Domenico Scarlatti raising his hand, and watched over by a red-coated Ferdinand VI of Spain. In this painting, the pianist is focused on her playing and the king is dapper and young.

title: Face the Heat

abstract: Face the Heat is the twelfth studio album released by the German hard rock band Scorpions in 1993. It was produced by the band and the late Bruce Fairbairn and released on the Mercury label. This album marked their status as a sort of political band with the song "Alien Nation", which was about the re-unification of Germany. This album had a contemporary touch to it, as the band were then going with the current trends, before later returning to their original style in Unbreakable in 2004. This is the last album to feature drummer Herman Rarebell, and the first with Ralph Rieckermann on bass guitar replacing Francis Buchholz. "Under the Same Sun" was played during the ending credits of the 1994 film On Deadly Ground. "Alien Nation" was covered by the Italian heavy metal band Mastercastle, recorded by Pier Gonella at MusicArt Studios and released as Japanese bonus track of their album The Phoenix. "Lonely Nights" was later included in the 2017 compilation album Born to Touch Your Feelings: Best of Rock Ballads.

title: The Culture of Contentment

abstract: The Culture of Contentment is an essay by economist John K. Galbraith, analyzing the situation of the Western industrial world, which was first published in 1992 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Galbraith traces the growth of a stultifying contentment in the Western industrial world, represented by the G7 group of countries. He pays particular attention to the self-serving economic comfort achieved by the fortunate and politically dominant community and contrasts this to the condition of the underclass which he sees as being for the first time in these countries stalled in poverty. The essay is published in paperback by Mariner Books, ISBN 978-0-395-66919-8.

# The Culture Show

***The Culture Show*** is a British magazine programme about books, art, film, architecture, music, visual fashion and the performing arts. The show was broadcast weekly on BBC Two between 2004 and 2015.

## Early history

Launched in November 2004, the show initially transmitted on Thursday nights in a 7 p.m. slot, lasting 60 minutes. The first main presenter was Verity Sharp, though she shared presenting duties in the show's first run with Kwame Kwei-Armah and Andrew Graham-Dixon. The first series included segments on film director Martin Scorsese, the conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim, the then little-known indie rock group Kaiser Chiefs and the contemporary visual artist Anselm Kiefer, among others. The launch editor, George Entwistle, was previously editor of BBC Two's flagship current affairs programme *Newsnight*.

Entwistle was succeeded as editor by Edward Morgan in summer 2005. In May 2006, the show was moved to Saturday nights, shortened to 50 minutes, and began to be regularly presented by Lauren Laverne. The programme then also started to make occasional spin-off specials, which have so far included an hour-long interview with Steven Spielberg on the occasion of his 60th birthday; a programme exploring the work of Michael Palin; and interviews with Lou Reed and Arcade Fire. In January 2010, the team produced a successful one-hour special to cover the launch of BBC Radio 4's *A History of the World in 100 Objects*.

## Presenters

The main presenters have changed since the programme's launch. After a long period with Laverne as anchor, by January 2010 the main presenter role had switched back to Andrew Graham-Dixon. Other regular presenters and reporters have included Mark Kermode, Tom Dyckhoff, Clemency Burton-Hill, Mark Radcliffe, Tim Samuels, Matthew Sweet, Lauren Laverne, Annie Mac, and Danny Robbins.

Guest presenters in the 2006/07 series included Stewart Lee, who interviewed his hero, the comedian Ted Chippington; Frank Skinner, who met singer Mark E. Smith for the show; author Grace Dent, who watches television in her caravan; *Guardian* television columnist Charlie Brooker, who criticised Saturday night talent shows; and Russell Brand who presented a segment on Oxford University. On occasion, editions of the programme have been presented by Sue Perkins.

## Guests

Under the editorship of Edward Morgan, each edition of the programme featured at least one live performance from a musical artist. Musical guests who performed on the show in the 2006/07 season included Field Music, Babyshambles, Manic Street Preachers, Underworld, Mika, Faithless, Jarvis Cocker, Sting, Carlos Acosta, Bryan Ferry, Antony and the Johnsons, Paul McCartney  and The Tiger Lillies.

## Broadcasts

From 3 June 2008, the programme moved into the 10pm Tuesday slot, previously occupied by *Later With Jools Holland*, with an extended edition shown on Thursdays at 11.20pm. From inception, the show was jointly based in London and BBC Pacific Quay in Glasgow. The show was broadcast in HD from late 2009.

The show was quietly ended in 2015, after a final special episode broadcast on 24 January.

## Format

Edward Morgan was succeeded as editor of *The Culture Show* in Autumn 2009 by Grierson-award-winning Janet Lee, previously the editor of the BBC flagship arts and culture strand *Imagine,* presented by Alan Yentob. Lee's version of the show reverted to the launch model - 60 minutes long, broadcast at 7pm on Thursdays, pre-recorded with presenters on location and no live music performance.

# The Cutthroat

***The Cutthroat*** is an Isaac Bell adventure tale, the tenth in that series. The hardcover edition was released March 14, 2017. Other editions were released on different dates.

## Plot

This novel is set in 1911 and centers around Isaac Bell, the chief investigator of the Van Dorn Detective Agency. Van Dorn is hired to find a young girl who ran away to become an actress. Hoping to find her and set her father's mind at ease, instead she turns up brutally murdered. Bell has a hunch this is not an isolated crime and his hunch is correct. Many young aspiring actresses as far back as 1891 have been turning up either missing or dead. Bell's hunt for the murderer takes him to London to look into a series of similar murders that took place until 1891 until suddenly stopping. Bell soon suspects he could be chasing one of the most monstrous murderers of all time."

## Reviews

Kirkus Reviews posted a positive review of this novel, saying, "Despite an awkward transition or two and a bit of padding (there’s a recipe for Welsh rarebit), the Bell series hits the right note for those who like crime fiction with a unique setting." Likewise, *Publishers Weekly* gave a positive review, observing that *The Cutthroat* had an "intriguing premise" that "Jack the Ripper is alive and well and rampaging across early-20th-century America" which fans of historical action novels would enjoy.

This book made it to the number one spot on *The New York Times* Best Sellers List for Hardcover Fiction and it was number three for the Combined Print & E-Book Fiction.

title: Mandel Q parameter

abstract:
The Mandel Q parameter measures the departure of the occupation number distribution from Poissonian statistics. It was introduced in quantum optics by Leonard Mandel. It is a convenient way to characterize non-classical states with negative values indicating a sub-Poissonian statistics, which have no classical analog. It is defined as the normalized variance of the boson distribution:
  - Q = ⟨ 2 ⟩ − ⟨ n ^ ⟩ ⟨ n ^ ⟩ = ⟨ n ^ ⟩ − ⟨ n ^ ⟩ 2 ⟨ n ^ ⟩ − 1 = ⟨ n ^ ⟩ where n ^ is the photon number operator and g is the normalized second-order correlation function as defined by Glauber.

# Mandel Q parameter

The **Mandel Q parameter** measures the departure of the occupation number distribution from Poissonian statistics. It was introduced in quantum optics by Leonard Mandel. It is a convenient way to characterize non-classical states with negative values indicating a sub-Poissonian statistics, which have no classical analog. It is defined as the normalized variance of the boson distribution:

$$Q={\frac {\left\langle (\Delta {\hat {n})^{2}\right\rangle -\langle {\hat {n}\rangle }{\langle {\hat {n}\rangle }={\frac {\langle {\hat {n}^{(2)}\rangle -\langle {\hat {n}\rangle ^{2}{\langle {\hat {n}\rangle }-1=\langle {\hat {n}\rangle \left(g^{(2)}(0)-1\right)}}}}}}}}}}$$

where $\hat {n}$ is the photon number operator and $g^{(2)}$ is the normalized second-order correlation function as defined by Glauber.

## Non-classical value

Negative values of Q corresponds to state which variance of photon number is less than the mean (equivalent to sub-Poissonian statistics). In this case, the phase space distribution cannot be interpreted as a classical probability distribution.

$$-1\leq Q\<0\Leftrightarrow 0\leq \langle (\Delta {\hat {n})^{2}\rangle \leq \langle {\hat {n}\rangle }}$$

The minimal value $Q=-1$ is obtained for photon number states (Fock states), which by definition have a well-defined number of photons and for which $\Delta n=0$.

## Examples

For black-body radiation, the phase-space functional is Gaussian. The resulting occupation distribution of the number state is characterized by a Bose–Einstein statistics for which $Q=\langle n\rangle $.

Coherent states have a Poissonian photon-number statistics for which $Q=0$.

# FV4202

The **Tank Medium No. 2 Experimental Vehicle FV4202** also known as the **40-ton Centurion** was a technology test bed developed by British company Leyland Motors between 1955 and 1956. It was used to develop various concepts later used in the Chieftain main battle tank.

## History

The FV4202 was built by Leyland Motors as a research vehicle for the FVRDE to test the conceptual layout of the proposed FV4201 Chieftain main battle tank. Three vehicles were built between 1955 and 1956. The weight of FV4202 was nearer 42 tons as the cast turrets were usually too heavy due to the fact that the manufacturers of the turret castings were paid by weight rather than per item. One vehicle - an amalgam of two vehicles - is preserved at the Bovington Tank Museum and another one has been employed as a recovery training aid at SEME Bordon.

## Design

The FV4202 test bed was built from readily available Centurion parts, such as the suspensions, smoke grenade dischargers, armament, hatches, cupola, sights and turret drive. It featured a reclined driver position, allowing the use of a well-sloped glacis plate and the "mantletless" cast turret was built, with an internal gun mantlet.

Having a shorter hull than the Centurion, the FV4202 only had five road wheels per side. The FV4202 was also lower than the Centurion due to the use of 28 inch-diameter road wheels (31 inch for the Centurion). The tracks were a narrower variant of the ones used on the early Centurion marks.

The FV4202 is powered by the Rolls-Royce Meteorite V8 petrol engine which was, in essence, two-thirds of a V12 Rolls-Royce Meteor. The Meteorite has a 18.01 litre (1,099 cu in) capacity and deliver 520 bhp (393 kW) at 2,700 rpm. The engine was coupled to a Merritt-Brown V52 gearbox originally developed for the Vickers Medium Cruiser Tank Mk. I.

## Appearance in video games

The FV4202 appears in World of Tanks, World of Tanks Blitz, World of Tanks: Modern Armor, and War Thunder video games.
