# Uchinoda Station

**Uchinoda Station** (内之田駅, *Uchinoda-eki*) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Nichinan, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu and is on the Nichinan Line.

## Lines

The station is served by the Nichinan Line and is located 37.1 km from the starting point of the line at Minami-Miyazaki.

## Layout

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track at grade. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. A bike shed has been set up at the station forecourt, from where a short flight of steps leads up to the platform.

## History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened the Shibushi Line from Nishi-Miyakonojō to Sueyoshi (now closed) in 1923. By 1925, the line had been extended eastwards to the east coast of Kyushu at Shibushi. The line was then extended northwards in phases, reaching Aburatsu by 1937. The track was extended further north with Kitagō opening as the northern terminus on 28 October 1941. Uchinoda was one of several intermediate stations opened on the same day on the new track. The route was designated the Nichinan Line on 8 May 1963. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.

## Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 10 passengers (boarding only) per day.

## Production

The idea of the show came out when the program director, Park Sang-hyuk was shooting for *Island Trio*, a healing travel show with Kang Ho-dong, Jung Yong-hwa & Kim Hee-sun. Whilst Kang Ho-dong & Jung Yong-hwa joined in together for *Talkmon*, Kim Hee-sun is said to back off from the new show in order to maintain the freshness for *Island Trio*'s season 2, which is scheduled to run within the same year, 2018. However, Kim Hee-sun is said to willingly fill in as a guest whenever there are empty slots.

After Jung Yong-hwa's departure from the show, Kim Hee-sun is scheduled to record as the special MC on February 4, 2018, to fill in Jung Yong-hwa's absence and will be broadcast on February 12, 2018. It is later announced by *O'live* that she will become a fixed MC for the show instead of only a one-time appearance.

### MC Departure

MC Jung Yong-hwa voluntarily departed from the show's MCing due to his graduate school controversy and will be enlisting in military on March 5, 2018. Jung's agency, FNC Entertainment announced:

> *"Due to the controversy surrounding Yong-hwa, he's taking responsibility, and because he doesn't want it to negatively impact the program, he's decided to leave the show along with agreement from the producers. We once again deeply apologize for disappointing the producers, the cast, and the viewers.*"

> *"Jung Yong-hwa will be notified of the entry (military enlistment) and will join on March 5th. As for '2018 JUNG YONG HWA LIVE \[ROOM 622\]' , after Hong Kong concert on January 27th, it is necessary to cancel all future overseas tour schedules. Thank you for your patience and understanding from the fans of Korea and abroad who have paid attention and spent your precious time."*

title: Tokyo NOVA

abstract: Tokyo NOVA (トーキョーN◎VA) is a cyberpunk role-playing game with a long history in Japan. It is in its fourth edition: Tokyo NOVA The Detonation. It supports stories in the cyberpunk, hardboiled crime fiction, and contemporary fantasy genres. The setting is an alternate near-future Tokyo called "Tokyo NOVA", after a pole shift. Tokyo NOVA is a dangerous and attractive city. Playing cards are used instead of dice in the Tokyo NOVA system. The suits of cards correspond to four abilities: Spade (♠) is reason, club (♣) is passion, heart (♥) is life, and diamond (♦) is mundaneness. This system is similar to that used by Castle Falkenstein, which Tokyo NOVA predates by a year. The game features a "style" system, which somewhat corresponds to a character class system but represents not only the abilities and occupations of the characters but also ways of life. For example, the Kugutsu style represents not only the job of a megacorp's employee but also the character's unshakable loyalty to the company.

***The Art of Murder*** is a 1999 American-Canadian thriller television film that first aired on network television on December 14, 1999. It stars Michael Moriarty, Joanna Pacula, Boyd Kestner and Peter Onorati.

## Plot

Elizabeth Sheridan, a painter, is married to Cole, who runs a yacht-building company. When Cole becomes abusive, Elizabeth begins an affair with Tony Blanchard, the firm's top designer. When a blackmailer produces incriminating pictures of her and Tony, she and Tony agree to pay, but when murder gets added to the mix, she becomes the obvious suspect.

## Cast

## Reception

In a review for *Radio Times*, David Parkinson said in regards of Joanna Pacula's appearance in the film, "Ever since she hit Hollywood in 1983's *Gorky Park*, Polish-born Joanna Pacula has been slowly sliding down the rankings. This is a pity, as she's an incredibly physical actress in every sense of the word. She certainly deserves better than this tepid thriller." Parkinson summarized the film's plot as "There's a couple of twists that just about pass muster. But whether you'll consider them worth waiting for, after an interminably slow opening, is debatable."

# The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood

***The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood*** is a 2020 nonfiction book written by Sam Wasson.

## Synopsis

The true story of the making of the film *Chinatown*.

## Critical reception

The *Los Angeles Times* wrote "Sam Wasson's fascinating and page-turning description of the talent and ideas behind 'Chinatown' is more than a mere biography of a landmark movie; it aims to flesh out the wild and woolly era that incubated it, roughly the late 1960s to the late 1970s, and in this it mostly succeeds."

*PopMatters* said "The Big Goodbye is a graceful and worthwhile elegy to a time dear to those who are lucky enough to remember it."

title: The Big Gun

abstract: The Big Gun, at 939 metres (3,081 ft) high, is the ninth-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin list, or the tenth-highest according to the Vandeleur-Lynam list. It is part of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks in County Kerry, and is also known as Lackagarrin or Foilnabreachaun.

# The Big Gun

**The Big Gun** (Irish: *An Gunna Mór*), at 939 metres (3,081 ft) high, is the ninth-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin list, or the tenth-highest according to the Vandeleur-Lynam list. It is part of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks in County Kerry, and is also known as **Lackagarrin** or **Foilnabreachaun**.

## Geography

The Big Gun is in the eastern section of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks in County Kerry, Ireland's highest mountain range. It is on a narrow rocky arête between the mountains of Cnoc na Péiste 988 metres (3,241 ft) to the southwest, and Cruach Mhór 932 metres (3,058 ft) to the north, and is considered as offering some of the most exposed and serious hill walking in Ireland (equivalent to The Bones on the nearby *Beenkeragh Ridge*).

Because of its positioning, The Big Gun is usually climbed as part of a *horseshoe*, or loop-walk, of the eastern section of the Reeks, starting and ending from the *Hag's Glen*. It is also climbed as part of the even longer *MacGillycuddy's Reeks Ridge Walk*, which often starts at The Big Gun's eastern end, from *Kate Kearney's Cottage* in the Gap of Dunloe.

The Big Gun is the 378th-highest mountain peak in Britain and Ireland on the Simm classification. It is regarded by the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") as one of 34 Furths, which is a mountain peak above 3,000 ft (914 m) in elevation, and meets the other SMC criteria for a Munro (e.g. "sufficient separation"), but which is outside of (or *furth*) Scotland; which is why The Big Gun is sometimes referred to as one of the 13 Irish Munros.

The Big Gun's prominence qualifies it to meet the Arderin classification, and the British Isles Simm and Hewitt classifications. The Big Gun does not appear in the MountainViews Online Database, *100 Highest Irish Mountains*, as the prominence threshold is over 100 m (328 ft).

# Umdat-Ul-Mulk, Amir Khan

**Umdat ul Mulk, Amir Khan Mir Ishaq** (died 25 September 1746) was a nobleman of the Mughal Empire. He was a son of Amir Khan Mir Miran and initially held the title of Aziz Ullah Khan.

## Biography

He gained prominence in the service of the Emperor Furrukhsiyar, when sided with that emperor in the civil war against the Emperor Jahandar Shah. After the former's victory he was appointed as *Qurbegi* (Head of Artillery) and Superintendent of the *Tosh-Khana* (Royal Stores).

He was a close aid of the Sayyid Brothers and after the departure of Amir ul Umar Hussain Ali Khan for the Deccan, he left with the elder brother Qutb al Mulk, Abdullah Khan for Delhi (then known as Shahjahanabad). On the assassination of Amir al Umara by the Turani faction, he remained loyal to Qutb al Mulk and Sultan Ibrahim and led the vanguard during the Battle of Agra. During the subsequent capture of Qutb al Mulk and the fall of the Sayyid Brothers. He fled to a garden and later on hearing the whereabouts of Sultan Ibrahim. He enticed the Sultan to the garden and gave information to Muhammad Shah, for which he was amply rewarded, being appointed to the position of *Third Bakhshi* (Mughal Pay-Master).

The Emperor Muhammad Shah was well disposed towards him, in large part due to his eloquent speech. He was eventually entitled as "Umdat al Mulk" by the same emperor. The resulting jealousy of other nobles and their machinations led to his appointment as Nawab of Allahabad. This was done to distance him from court where beforehand he had been present in almost every assembly. He returned to court and received further favours, especially due to his close friendship with Safdar Jang, that latter helped in his appointment as superintendent of Artillery.

He along with Safdar Jang took the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah on an expedition against Rohilkhand and the person of Ali Mohammad who had aroused the enmity of Safdar Jang, but the intervention of Itimad ad Daula, Qamarudin Khan largely left the expedition a failure.

## Death

It was widely believed that the Emperor would elevate him to the rank of Wazir, so upon his summon to court, as he reached the door of the Diwan e Khas he was fatally stabbed by a new attendant. He died on 25 September 1746.

***Uma Tarde na Fruteira*** (Portuguese for "*An Evening at the Fruit Shop*") is the fourth studio album by the Brazilian musician Jupiter Apple; released in 2007 by Spanish label Elefant Records, it was the musician's final studio album to come out during his lifetime. Distancing itself from its predecessors *Plastic Soda* and *Hisscivilization*, it is mostly sung in Portuguese and returns to the more "accessible" psychedelia of his 1997 debut *A Sétima Efervescência*, in sonority terms.

The album was re-issued in Brazil by Monstro Discos in 2008, with a different cover art and track list; while the original Elefant version is more of a compilation with some previously unreleased tracks in-between, Monstro's version contains only new tracks.

## Covers and appearances in other media

Rogério Skylab covered "Na Casa de Mamãe" for his 2009 album *Skygirls*, and "A Marchinha Psicótica de Dr. Soup" for his 2019 album *Crítica da Faculdade do Cu*.

## Critical reception

*Uma Tarde na Fruteira* has received positive reviews upon its release. Stewart Mason of AllMusic gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars, describing it as a "double-album-length potted history/reconstruction of the most vibrant era in Brazilian music – roughly from the birth of *bossa nova* through the petering out of Tropicália, or the late '50s through the early '70s". He praised the album as being "richly melodic and instantly memorable". Bruno Yutaka Saito of *Folha de S.Paulo* also spoke favorably of the album, comparing its "eclectic" sonority to the works of Caetano Veloso, Roberto Carlos and Stereolab.

Writing for his website Trabalho Sujo in 2009, Alexandre Matias included the album in his list of the 50 Greatest Albums of 2008, in 24th place.

La Cumbuca included *Uma Tarde na Fruteira* in 198th place in its list of the Top 200 Brazilian Albums of the 2000s.

title: Uncial 055

text:
# Uncial 055

**Uncial 055** (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 11th century. The codex contains a commentary with incomplete text of the four Gospels, on 303 parchment leaves (26 cm by 19.5 cm).

## Description

The commentaries are placed in the Western order (Matthew, John, Luke, Mark). Three first Gospels used commentaries of Chrysostom, Gospel of Mark – Victorin's commentary.

The text is written in one column per page, 37 lines per page.

The manuscript is written in semi-uncial variously listed as an uncial and a minuscule, is reported as "very peculiar in its style and beautifully written". Hermann von Soden did not include it in his catalog. According to some scholars it is a commentary rather, but not a manuscript of New Testament.

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, but Aland did not placed it in any Category. It is one of very few uncial manuscripts not cited in Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece.

title: Ulu maika

abstract: Ulu maika is a type of traditional pre-contact Hawaiian game. It has been described as being similar to the modern sport of bowling. The game is played with multiple people who would underhandedly roll a disc shaped stone called a Maikam, which was usually made from volcanic rock. The objective of the game was to roll your Maika further than your opponent's Maika. According to the National Museum of Australia, Ulu maika was traditionally played exclusively by men. According to the Linden Museum, Ulu maika was traditionally played by both adults and children.

# Ukrainian presidential inauguration

The **Inauguration of the President of Ukraine** is a ceremony that takes place to mark the start of a new term for a newly elected president.

## Description

The presidential inauguration traditionally starts at the building of the Verkhovna Rada building in the center of the Pecherskyi District in Kyiv. Prior to the arrival of the president-elect, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada introduces distinguished dignitaries including foreign guests and former presidents. Upon arrival, the president goes into the main chamber to the tune of the presidential fanfare, before beginning the ceremonies with a rendition of *Shche ne vmerla Ukraina* by a choir and band. Once this is done, the president-elect will put their hand on the Constitution of Ukraine and the Peresopnytsia Gospels simultaneously while reciting the oath of office administered by the chairman of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine:

According to article 104 of the constitution, the Ukrainian text for the oath is as follows:

> *Я, (ім'я та прізвище), волею народу обраний Президентом України, заступаючи на цей високий пост, урочисто присягаю на вірність Україні. Зобов'язуюсь усіма своїми справами боронити суверенітет і незалежність України, дбати про благо Вітчизни і добробут Українського народу, обстоювати права і свободи громадян, додержуватися Конституції України і законів України, виконувати свої обов'язки в інтересах усіх співвітчизників, підносити авторитет України у світі.*

Official English translation:

> *I, (name and surname), elected by the will of the people as the President of Ukraine, assuming this high office, do solemnly swear allegiance to Ukraine. I pledge with all my undertakings to protect the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, to provide for the good of the Motherland and the welfare of the Ukrainian people, to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens, to abide by the Constitution of Ukraine and the laws of Ukraine, to exercise my duties in the interests of all compatriots, and to enhance the prestige of Ukraine in the world.*

The new president then signs the text transfers it over to the chairman of the Constitutional Court after conducting the oath. The performance of the *Molytva za Ukrainu* (Prayer for Ukraine) will then follow. The president will then receive state symbols and heraldry, including the seal, the collar and bulava of the president of Ukraine. Once this is done, the president will deliver a speech that will be given in the Ukrainian language, although on some occasions Russian has been used throughout the speech. After the speech, the swearing-in-ceremony is declared closed and the president walks to the nearby Mariinskyi Palace to take the salute as supreme commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This formal military ceremony has also been known to take place at the Office of the President on Bankova and in 2014, on Sofia Square. During the ceremony the president receives the salute of the commander, Kyiv Presidential Honor Guard Battalion who reports the following:

*Mr/Mrs President of Ukraine, Supreme Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Guard of Honour is formed up in your honor, Commander of the Guard of Honour, (states rank and name)*.

The president then inspects the guard before greeting them:

President: *Glory to Ukraine!*
Parade formation: *Glory to the Heroes!*

The president then goes on to receive the report from the chiefs of the senior administrative institutions and the uniformed services of the military, including the minister of defence and the head of the security service, as of the most recent inauguration in 2019, the commanders state their name and rank (only if in uniform) and declares their institution's readiness to carry out their task. After this the battalion performs a marchpast to the tune of a march by its attached military band before heading inside.

The entire ceremony is covered on Ukrainian TV channels such as NTN, 5 Kanal, 1+1 and ICTV.

title: Uncorrelated noise

abstract: The term uncorrelated noise refers to a noise source being uncorrelated to a signal or another noise source. White noise in particular, due to its randomness, is uncorrelated to any other signal and is also serially uncorrelated. Thus, "uncorrelated noise" is sometimes imprecisely used synonymously with "white noise". However, in general, noise sources can have any noise spectrum and may or may not be correlated with each other. This situation is sometimes described as "uncorrelated colored noise".

text:
# Uncorrelated noise

The term **uncorrelated noise** refers to a noise source being uncorrelated to a signal or *another* noise source. White noise in particular, due to its randomness, is uncorrelated to any other signal and is also serially uncorrelated (i.e., later values of it have no correlation to earlier values). Thus, "uncorrelated noise" is sometimes imprecisely used synonymously with "white noise". However, in general, noise sources can have any noise spectrum and may or may not be correlated with each other (in practice different noise sources are usually uncorrelated). This situation is sometimes described as "uncorrelated colored noise".

## Uncorrelated noise in electronics

Electronic circuits may have many types of electronic noise.

If the noise sources are uncorrelated with each other, those noise sources add according to the sum of their power. Thus, when expressed as voltages or currents ( $e\_{1},\\,e\_{2},\\,\cdots \\,e\_{n}$), the square of the total noise ( $e\_{\text{total}^{2}}$) is the sum of squares of the individual noise sources ( $e\_{1}^{2}+e\_{2}^{2}+\cdots +e\_{n}^{2}$). In other words, the total noise voltage or current ( $e\_{\text{total}}$) is the square root of that sum of squares:

$e\_{\text{total}={\sqrt {e\_{1}^{2}+e\_{2}^{2}+\cdots +e\_{n}^{2}\\,.}}}$

**Uncle Jed** is an Australian funk, reggae and jazz band. Formed in 2005 among family members, the lineup was Danny Stitt on bass and lead guitars, his brother, Shannon Stitt on keyboards and their cousin, Laura Stitt on lead vocals. In November 2013 the trio won the seventh season of the TV reality show, *Australia's Got Talent*. A self-titled album was issued in May 2010. Three of Uncle Jed's singles are cover versions, "Brother" (August 2013), "Give Me Love" (October) and "Just Give Me a Reason" (November), and all peaked in the ARIA Singles Chart top 50. The group briefly changed the band name to **Luna Grand** in May 2015 and released an extended play, *Patience Love*, in June.

## History

Uncle Jed was formed in 2005 in Sydney by Danny Stitt on bass and lead guitars, his brother, Shannon Stitt on keyboards and their cousin, Laura Stitt on lead vocals. The band's namesake, Jed Stitt, is Danny and Shannon's uncle and Laura's father. Uncle Jed released a self-titled album on 10 May 2010 on Vitamin Records. Lisa Moscatelli of *The AU Review* caught their support gig at Notes Live in July 2011 and described how the group, "opened the night with a beautiful blend of funk, reggae and jazz songs playing some of their funky originals and a mix of cover songs... One of the main highlights of Uncle Jed is that they didn't need to make much of an effort to make a positive impression. Their chilled-back style was sufficient for one to grow fond of their music, which made it a perfect way to end the week." Laura provided backing vocals for Jessica Mauboy.

*Uncle Jed* peaked at No. 74 on the ARIA Albums Chart on 18 November 2013, the week after their victory on TV reality quest, *Australia's Got Talent*'s seventh season. The group were rewarded with $250,000 for their victory.

Ahead of the album, in August 2013, they had issued a cover version of Matt Corby's 2011 track, "Brother", which they used for their audition on *Australia's Got Talent*. Their version peaked at No. 36 on the ARIA Singles Chart in November. Their second single, "Give Me Love" (October), is a cover of Ed Sheeran's 2012 song, which they performed on *Australia's Got Talent*'s semi-final – it reached No. 39. They quickly followed with their third single, a cover of Pink's track, "Just Give Me a Reason" (November), which made No. 49. All three singles were still in the top 100 when their self-titled album appeared in the related chart.

In May 2015 they changed their name to Luna Grand. Under the new name, they released a seven-track extended play, *Patience Love*, on 12 June 2015, which peaked at No. 8 on the ARIA Hit Seekers Albums chart. By November of that year they had reverted to their original name to release a five-track EP, *Acoustic Versions*. Uncle Jed issued another album, *The Christmas Album*, with standard festive season carols.

abstract:
The United Nations Angola Verification Mission II, established May 1991 and lasting until February 1995, was the second United Nations peacekeeping mission, of a total of four, deployed to Angola during the course of the Angolan Civil War, the longest war in modern African history. Specifically, the mission was established to oversee and maintain the multilateral ceasefire of 1990 and the subsequent Bicesse Accords in 1991, which instituted an electoral process for the first time including the two rival factions of the civil war, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the de facto government of Angola, with control of Luanda and most of the country since independence in 1975, and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). The mission's original mandate was established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 696 (1991), passed on May 30, 1991. The stated mandate was:
to verify the arrangements agreed by the Angolan parties for the monitoring of the ceasefire and for the monitoring of the Angolan police during the ceasefire period.
The subsequent resolution Resolution 747 (1992), passed March 24, 1992 altered the mandate to include electoral monitoring duties. During the country's newly agreed upon election, 400 UN electoral observers were deployed, along with the rest of the mission, with the added mandate of "observation and verification of the presidential and legislative elections in Angola." After a series of Security Council resolutions in 1993, the mandate was again altered to encourage more stringent adherence to the ceasefire by both the government of Angola and UNITA, after a resumption of hostilities. Finally, in late 1994, with Security Council Resolutions 952 (1994) and 966 (1994), UNAVEM II began observation and verification of the Lusaka Protocol of November 20, 1994. Preparations were begun to make way for the new mission, United Nations Angola Verification Mission III, set up in the wake of the Lusaka Protocol. The mission consisted of military observers, civilian police, electoral observers, paramedics and both local and international staff. The personnel came from 25 countries in five continents. There was a maximum deployment of over 1100 during the early polling, as well as a minimum strength of under 200 after June 1993. UNAVEM II suffered a total of 5 fatalities, 3 military and 2 civilian.

# United Nations Angola Verification Mission II

The **United Nations Angola Verification Mission II** (**UNAVEM II**), established May 1991 and lasting until February 1995, was the second United Nations peacekeeping mission, of a total of four, deployed to Angola during the course of the Angolan Civil War, the longest war in modern African history. Specifically, the mission was established to oversee and maintain the multilateral ceasefire of 1990 and the subsequent Bicesse Accords in 1991, which instituted an electoral process for the first time including the two rival factions of the civil war, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the *de facto* government of Angola, with control of Luanda and most of the country since independence in 1975, and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).

The mission's original mandate was established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 696 (1991), passed on May 30, 1991. The stated mandate was:

> to verify the arrangements agreed by the Angolan parties for the monitoring of the ceasefire and for the monitoring of the Angolan police during the ceasefire period.

The subsequent resolution Resolution 747 (1992), passed March 24, 1992 altered the mandate to include electoral monitoring duties. During the country's newly agreed upon election, 400 UN electoral observers were deployed, along with the rest of the mission, with the added mandate of "observation and verification of the presidential and legislative elections in Angola." After a series of Security Council resolutions in 1993, the mandate was again altered to encourage more stringent adherence to the ceasefire by both the government of Angola and UNITA, after a resumption of hostilities.

UNAVEM II suffered a total of 5 fatalities, 3 military and 2 civilian.

## Background

Soon after Angola's independence from Portugal in 1975, the tenuous three-way coalition government descended into civil war. The MLPA, with the support of Cuban troops as well as backing by the Soviet Union and other communist parties, quickly gained control of Luanda and the government, and the UNITA, allied with the tribal National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA) was restricted to the country's interior. The first UN peacekeeping mission to Angola, United Nations Angola Verification Mission I (UNAVEM I) oversaw the agreed upon Cuban withdrawal in 1988. That same year, the South African troops supporting UNITA were withdrawn and by 1990 the belligerents, joined by eighteen other African nations agreed to a ceasefire. In mid-1991, the UN Security Council authorized the deployment of UNAVEM II to succeed UNAVEM I and monitor the new ceasefire agreement. The 1991 Bicesse Accords established a democratic electoral system for Angola, under the supervision of UNAVEM II. After the 1992 call to arms by disgruntled UNITA presidential candidate Jonas Savimbi, hostilities resumed until 1994's Lusaka Protocol.

# Unisave

***Unisave*** is a novel by Axel Madsen published in 1980.

## Plot summary

*Unisave* is a novel set in the future in which the overpopulation of the world has become a critical problem.

## Reception

Greg Costikyan reviewed *Unisave* in *Ares Magazine* #3 and commented that "Despite the potentially intense emotional nature of his subject material, the novel progresses slowly and unemotionally. His one attempt at a dramatic scene fails to communicate any real feeling of drama, and his characters are uniformly bland, almost clones of one another. An remarkable novel to which I have devoted too much space."

title: United Soybean Board

abstract: The United Soybean Board (USB), is the governing body that instantiates the U.S. commodity checkoff program for soybeans. It is made up of 73 volunteer farmer-directors who oversee the investments of the soybean checkoff on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers. The soybean checkoff is a congressionally-mandated assessment on soybeans, whose proceeds are used to fund soybean research and promotion efforts. The checkoff is managed by the United Soybean Board under the supervision of the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service. In 2014, the checkoff was $109.1 million. Checkoff funds are invested in the areas of animal utilization, human utilization, industrial utilization, industry relations, market access, and supply. As stipulated in the Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soybean checkoff. The checkoff rate is 0.5% of the market price of soybeans sold each season. The volunteer farmer-directors are nominated by their state-level checkoff organizations, called Qualified State Soybean Boards (QSSBs). The nominees are appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to the Board.
