# Loren Acton

**Loren Wilber Acton** (born 7 March 1936) is an American physicist who flew on Space Shuttle mission STS-51-F as a Payload Specialist for the Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory. He is also the father of Cheryll Glotfelty, a leading ecocritic.

## Early life and education

Acton was born in Lewistown, Montana. He received a bachelor of science degree in Engineering Physics from Montana State University in 1959, and a Doctor of Philosophy in astrophysics from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1965.

## Career

Acton was a senior staff scientist with the Space Sciences Laboratory, Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory, California. As a research scientist, his principal duties included conducting scientific studies of the Sun and other celestial objects using advanced space instruments and serving as a co-investigator on one of the Spacelab 2 solar experiments, the Solar Optical Universal Polarimeter. He was selected as one of four payload specialists for Spacelab 2 on August 9, 1978, and after seven years of training he flew on STS-51-F/ Spacelab-2 in 1985. At mission conclusion, Acton had travelled over 2.8 million miles in 126 Earth orbits, logging over 190 hours in space.

Acton is married and has two children. In 2006 he ran in an election to be the state representative of Montana's District 69, as a Democratic candidate. In the event, he lost to the Republican incumbent, Jack M. Wells of Belgrade.

Acton is currently a retired Research Professor of Physics at Montana State University, where he was responsible for the formation of the Solar Physics group and the Space Science and Engineering Laboratory. The MSU solar group carries on an active research program under NASA and NSF support and is actively involved in day-to-day operation and scientific utilization of satellite missions for studies of the Sun. Acton was a principal investigator for Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) experiment on the Japan/US/UK Yohkoh mission "Yohkoh Legacy Archive". The Yohkoh mission focused on the study of high-energy solar processes, such as solar flares, eruptions and the heating of the corona. The primary emission of the extremely hot outer atmosphere of the Sun, the solar corona, is at X-ray wavelengths. The extended duration, high resolution, X-ray imagery from Yohkoh contribute to the study of why the Sun has a corona at all and why it varies in intensity so strongly in response to the 11-year sunspot cycle.

# Euclidean topology

In mathematics, and especially general topology, the **Euclidean topology** is the natural topology induced on $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb {R} ^{n}$ by the Euclidean metric.

## Definition

The Euclidean norm on $\mathbb {R} ^{n}$ is the non-negative function $\\|\cdot \\|:\mathbb {R} ^{n}\to \mathbb {R} $ defined by $\left\\|\left(p\_{1},\ldots ,p\_{n}\right)\right\\|~:=~{\sqrt {p\_{1}^{2}+\cdots +p\_{n}^{2}.}}$

Like all norms, it induces a canonical metric defined by $d(p,q)=\\|p-q\\|.$ The metric $d:\mathbb {R} ^{n}\times \mathbb {R} ^{n}\to \mathbb {R} $ induced by the Euclidean norm is called the Euclidean metric or the Euclidean distance and the distance between points $p=\left(p\_{1},\ldots ,p\_{n}\right)$ and $q=\left(q\_{1},\ldots ,q\_{n}\right)$ is $d(p,q)~=~\\|p-q\\|~=~{\sqrt {\left(p\_{1}-q\_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(p\_{2}-q\_{2}\right)^{2}+\cdots +\left(p\_{i}-q\_{i}\right)^{2}+\cdots +\left(p\_{n}-q\_{n}\right)^{2}.}}$

In any metric space, the open balls form a base for a topology on that space. The Euclidean topology on $\mathbb {R} ^{n}$ is the topology *generated* by these balls. In other words, the open sets of the Euclidean topology on $\mathbb {R} ^{n}$ are given by (arbitrary) unions of the open balls $B\_{r}(p)$ defined as $B\_{r}(p):=\left\\{x\in \mathbb {R} ^{n}:d(p,x)\<r\right\\},$ for all real $r\>0$ and all $p\in \mathbb {R} ^{n},$ where $d$ is the Euclidean metric.

## Properties

When endowed with this topology, the real line $\mathbb {R} $ is a T5 space. Given two subsets say $A$ and $B$ of $\mathbb {R} $ with $\overline {A}\cap B=A\cap {\overline {B}=\varnothing ,}$ where $\overline {A}$ denotes the closure of $A,$ there exist open sets $S\_{A}$ and $S\_{B}$ with $A\subseteq S\_{A}$ and $B\subseteq S\_{B}$ such that $S\_{A}\cap S\_{B}=\varnothing .$

# Parthamaspates of Parthia

**Parthamaspates** was a Parthian prince who ruled as a Roman client king in Mesopotamia, and later of Osroene during the early second century AD. He was the son of the Parthian emperor Osroes I.

## Biography

After spending much of his life in Roman exile, he accompanied the emperor Trajan on the latter's campaign to conquer Parthia. Trajan originally planned to annex Ctesiphon as part of the Roman Empire, but ultimately decided instead to place Parthamaspates on his father's throne as a Roman client, doing so in 116. Trajan effectively crowned Parthamaspates as a king of Parthia.

Following Roman withdrawal from the area, Osroes easily defeated Parthamaspates and reclaimed the Parthian throne.

After his defeat in Parthia, Parthamaspates again fled to the Romans who then, as a consolation, granted him the co-rule of Osroene, a small Roman client state between Asia Minor and Syria. He was king of Osroene together with Yalur from 118 to 122, and afterwards sole ruler to 123.

From his territory of Osroene, he is known to have traded with the Kushan Empire, goods being sent by sea and through the Indus River.

Long after the failure of Parthamaspates, Rome still claimed to have control of Parthian land, as shown in a coin of Antoninus Pius (138–161 AD) with the image of a subdued "Parthia" offering the crown to him.

# Lorenzo Fertitta

**Lorenzo Joseph Fertitta** (born January 3, 1969) is an American billionaire businessman and philanthropist. He is chairman of Fertitta Capital, director of Red Rock Resorts Inc, and former CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

## Early life and education

Lorenzo and his older brother Frank Fertitta III were raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, after their father, Frank Fertitta Jr., moved there from Texas with his wife Victoria (née Broussard) in 1960. Fertitta Jr. became a dealer at the Stardust Casino before graduating to management positions at the Tropicana, Sahara and Circus Circus casinos.

In 1976, after observing that no casinos effectively catered to the city's residents, Fertitta Jr. built The Casino, a 5,000-square-foot establishment on Sahara Blvd. The Casino would be renamed Bingo Palace before it eventually became Palace Station.

Fertitta Jr. worked at Station Casinos, a developer and casino operator in the U.S, alongside his sons until retiring in 1993. Until his death in 2009, Fertitta Jr. remained active in other family business ventures, community service and philanthropic efforts, with Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman referring to Fertitta Jr. as "one of the most successful business persons in the history of Las Vegas."

Fertitta graduated from Bishop Gorman High School, a private Catholic prep school in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1987. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of San Diego in 1991 where he was a member of Sigma Pi fraternity. He earned an MBA from the Stern School of Business at New York University in 1993.

## Career

### Fertitta Enterprises

Since 1991, Fertitta occupied various executive positions within Fertitta Enterprises, a family investment office and entertainment company. He served as vice president from 1991 to 1993, before becoming president and CEO from June 1993 to July 2000. In these roles, Fertitta managed an investment portfolio consisting of marketable securities and real property.

### Station Casinos and Red Rock Resorts, Inc.

Throughout their time in high school and college, Lorenzo and Frank III worked for their father, Frank Fertitta Jr., at Station Casinos. After Fertitta Jr. retired in 1993, Lorenzo and Frank III led Station Casinos to its first IPO that same year, raising $294 million and becoming principal shareholders and co-founders of Station Casinos Inc. in the process. Station Casinos was then taken private in 2007 in a management-led leveraged buyout.

On February 2, 2009, Station Casinos declared plans to file for bankruptcy. The filing came in response to a lawsuit that challenged the gaming company's debt swap and prepackaged bankruptcy proposal. Station Casinos filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 28, 2009 and, with a subsequent reinvestment of $240 million, emerged from this process in June 2011 with a new ownership structure that allowed the Fertittas to retain full control.

On October 13, 2015, Red Rock Resorts, Inc. filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC to take Station Casinos public again through an initial public offering (IPO), creating a holding company for the organization, known as Red Rock Resorts, Inc., which owns a portion of the Station Casinos entity. On April 26, 2016, Red Rock Resorts, Inc. raised $531.4 million in an IPO that priced 27.25 million shares under the ticker symbol "RRR". Deutsche Bank Securities, J.P Morgan, BofA Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs & Co were among the underwriters for the offering. The Fertitta family continues to own a stake in Red Rock Resorts Inc. In January 2017, Fertitta was named Vice Chairman.

Fertitta as owner of the Palms Casino nightclub KAOS lost an $8 million lawsuit in 2022 brought by DJ Kaskade for nonpayment of his two-year performance contract.

### Zuffa, LLC and Ultimate Fighting Championship

In 2001, Lorenzo, along with his brother Frank III, established Zuffa, LLC to acquire the assets of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a mixed martial arts promotion and live event provider, from Semaphore Entertainment Group for $2 million. Lorenzo Fertitta assumed positions as chairman and CEO of UFC, while appointing childhood friend Dana White as President of the organization. Zuffa, LLC operated the UFC until its sale in August 2016.

As Chairman and CEO of UFC, Fertitta worked with the athletic commissions of New Jersey, Nevada, California and Mohegan Sun to establish a unified rule set for MMA competitions. The sport operates in all 50 U.S. states and is broadcast to more than 150 countries. Approximately 135 UFC-branded gyms operate in North America and Australia.

In January 2005, UFC entered a deal to broadcast televised content on Viacom Inc.'s Spike cable channel, an agreement that ran until the end of 2011. On August 18, 2011, UFC and Fox Broadcasting Company announced a seven-year, $813 million television rights deal that spanned Fox's flagship channel, its cable channel FX, and other stations including Fuel TV and Fox Deportes.

As CEO of UFC, Fertitta worked with Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo to regulate MMA in the state, an initiative projected to yield more than $32 million in economic activity for New York's economy each year. Governor Cuomo signed legislation authorizing competitive mixed martial arts in New York State on April 14, 2016, with UFC hosting its first show at Madison Square Garden, UFC 205, later that year. The event set a record for live gate receipts at the venue, drawing $17.7 million.

In July 2016, Zuffa, LLC and the brothers announced the sale of their shares in UFC for an estimated $4 billion to WME-IMG, a sports and entertainment talent representation firm led by Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell. Private equity firms Silver Lake Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) were also a part of the deal. Upon completion of the transaction, Lorenzo Fertitta stepped down from his role as CEO.

### Fertitta Capital

On May 1, 2017, Fertitta Capital, a private investment firm, was launched with an initial seed investment of $500 million from Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta III. The firm has a permanent capital base and invests throughout a business's lifecycle and across the capital structure in consumer-facing companies in the technology, media and entertainment sectors. Nakisa Bidarian, former CFO of UFC, will lead Fertitta Capital as CEO and co-founder and be responsible for the deployment of the Firm's capital.

## Philanthropy

Fertitta's philanthropic efforts include supporting his high school alma mater, Bishop Gorman, as well as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). In September 2016, the Fertitta family made a $10 million donation to UNLV to fund a 73,000-square-foot football facility that will be named The Fertitta Football Complex.

Fertitta is a supporter of veterans and active duty students, having made contributions to the Lone Survivor Foundation, the Fisher House and the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which provide support for the families of military personnel lost or severely wounded in service to the United States.

On November 11, 2016, Lorenzo and Frank III established the Fertitta Veterans Program at New York University Stern, a full-time MBA program designed to support U.S. military veterans' transition to business school. As part of the program, 20 full-time MBA military students receive scholarship support and participate in a six-week, six-credit summer term that facilitates their transition to the academic and professional communities.

In addition, Fertitta supports local Las Vegas charities including the Nathan Adelson Hospice, Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and Three Square, a charity focused on providing wholesome food to those in need.

## Political activity

He is third-cousin to fellow entrepreneur Tilman Fertitta. Lorenzo and his wife are major donors to the Republican Party and Republican candidates, having given more than $9,700,000 from 2009 to 2020, making him, along with his brother, one of the largest contributors in Nevada.

Together with his spouse, Fertitta contributed $721,200 to Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.

## Personal life

Fertitta resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife Teresa and three children.

Fertitta as owner of the Palms Casino nightclub KAOS lost an $8 million lawsuit in 2022 brought by DJ Kaskade for nonpayment of his two-year performance contract.

Fertitta owns the 87 meter yacht Lonian and the associated 66 meter support vessel Hodor.

title: María de Echachute

abstract: María de Echachute, was one of the victims of the Basque witch trials, and one of six people executed by over hundreds of accused. She was from Ezpeleta (Lapurdi) in Navarre. She was arrested by the inquisitor Valle Alvarado in 1609. She was accused of having attended the famous Witches Sabbath in Zugarramurdi. She was brought to Logroño and investigated for witchcraft by the Spanish Inquisition. She repeatedly denied the accusations against her and refused to confess. The goal of the Inquisition was not to execute people but to make them confess, regret and denounce their actions, after which they were normally pardoned. This procedure was however not possible when the accused refused to confess guilty, and this refusal was the reason to why she sentenced to death. She, and five other of the accused who refused to confess guilty, were all sentenced to be burned alive at the stake for witchcraft: Domingo de Subildegui, María de Echachute, Graciana Xarra, Maria Baztan de Borda, Maria de Arburu and Petri de Joangorena. On 1 November 1610 she was one of the six people of the accused from the Basque witch trials to be burned alive at the stake in Logrono; all of them were from Zugurramurdi, and had refused to confess guilty. They were burned with the remains of five others who had died in prison before the execution.

# Particle transfer roller

The **particle transfer roller**, often abbreviated to **PTR**, is a device for cleaning motion picture film. It consists of a cylindrical roller coated with urethane, over which the surface of the film passes.

## History

The particle transfer roller was developed by Eastman Kodak and launched in 1989. It was intended to replace the organic solvents that were the main method of film cleaning before that point. Although their effectiveness is not usually considered sufficient for lab operations, where ultrasonic cleaning with a solvent solution remains the standard, the PTR sold widely for use in projection booths and transfer houses.

## Use

At least two PTRs are needed in the film path – one for the base side and one for the emulsion side – though four are frequently used. A set of PTRs is frequently placed in the film paths of projectors, telecine machines, scanners and printers in order to remove dust and contaminants from the surface of the film before projection, transfer or duplication. PTRs are also used in some dedicated film cleaning machines, or mounted between rewind heads and used for manual cleaning. The contaminants are lifted from the film and adhere to the roller as the film passes in contact with it. The rollers themselves are then cleaned, usually in soapy water, and dried before the next use.

# Linton railway station, Palmerston North

**Linton railway station** was a flag station at Linton in Palmerston North on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand.

It was opened by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company on 7 July 1885; closed to passengers on 21 January 1971 and closed to goods traffic on 19 November 1972. Only a passing loop remains.

## History

By March 1885 the first 9 mi (14 km) of the WMR from Longburn had been built, which included Linton and Tokomaru. It may therefore have opened for goods in July 1885, but there was no regular passenger service for another year. A special train ran from Longburn to Ohau in April 1886. From Monday 2 August 1886 WMR trains started to run between Longburn and Ōtaki. Linton was shown in the time and fare-tables, but only as a flag station. The first through train from Wellington to Palmerston North ran on 30 November 1886.

Linton was intended to be a township and raise capital for building the railway. Only a small fraction of the planned development was implemented, though the original concept can still be seen in a modern map of land holdings at Linton. The result was that the station was on the edge of a very small settlement. Another attempt to sell land was made in 1897.

However, a goods shed was built in 1890 and enlarged to 40 ft (12 m) by 20 ft (6.1 m), with a verandah, in 1910. The station was improved in 1909, so that by 1911 it also had a shelter shed, platform, cart approach, cattle and sheep yards and a passing loop for 46 wagons (extended in 1912 to 68 wagons, so Napier mail trains could cross at Linton, in 1940 to 90 wagons and in 1964 to 114 wagons). In 1912 a tablet office and loading bank were added and a porter employed.

Railway houses were built in 1895, 1903, 1912, 1938 and 1946.

In the early twentieth century McGregor Brothers' horse-powered tramway was built up above the swamp on rough timber. The 7 mi (11 km)-long tramway brought timber to the station from a mill in the Tararua Range. Moturimu Mill and tramway were sold in 1911.

On 13 November 1942 a 2 mi 18 ch (3.6 km) private siding to serve Linton Camp was opened, to carry troops to and from the camp by special trains. The track came from lifting the Mount Maunganui line and the ballast from Kakariki.

In 1968 old buildings were removed and on 19 November 1972 Linton closed to all but private siding traffic.

# Taman Peninsula

The **Taman Peninsula** (Russian: Таманский полуостров, IPA: \[tɐˈmanskʲɪj pəlʊˈostrəf\]) is a peninsula in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, which borders the Sea of Azov to the north, the Kerch Strait to the west and the Black Sea to the south.

## Toponym

One version of the origin of the name "Taman" claims its Circassian origin from "temen", a swamp that corresponds to the nature of the area.

## History

The area has evolved over the past two millennia from a chain of islands into today's peninsula. In ancient times the peninsula was known to the Greeks as *Sindikè chersònesus* (Greek: Σινδική χερσόνησος, peninsula of the Sindi) and Pontic Greek colonies of Hermonassa and Phanagoria stood on the peninsula, as did the later city of Tmutarakan.

The Maeotae and Sindi settled in the area from ancient times. In the classical period it became part of the Bosporan kingdom; its inhabitants included Sarmatians, Greeks, Anatolian settlers from Pontus, and Jews. In the 4th century CE the area fell to the Huns; it was later the capital of Great Bulgaria and fell to the Khazars in the mid-7th century. Following the breakup of the Khazar Khaganate in c. 969, the peninsula formed part of a Khazar Jewish successor state under a ruler named David. By the late 980s, it came largely into the possession of the Kievan Rus and of the Russian Principality of Tmutarakan before falling to the Kipchaks c. 1100. The Mongols seized the area in 1239 and it became a possession of Genoa, along with Gazaria in Crimea, in 1419.

For most of the 15th century, the Guizolfi (Ghisolfi) family, founded by the Genoese Jew Simeone de Guizolfi, ruled the peninsula on behalf of Gazaria. The rulership of the region by Jewish consuls, commissioners or princes has sparked much debate over the extent to which Khazar Judaism survived in southern Russia during this period. The Khanate of Crimea seized the Taman Peninsula in 1483. It fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1783 and became an Ottoman Sanjak under the Eyalet of Kaffa. In 1791, during the Russo-Turkish War (1787–92), it passed into the control of the Russian Empire. Russia ceded it back to the Ottomans in 1792. It finally passed to Russia in 1828. For much of the succeeding century, the area was sparsely populated. The largest settlement was the Cossack town (later a *stanitsa*) of Taman, succeeded by the port town of Temryuk in modern times.

The peninsula contains small mud volcanoes and deposits of natural gas and petroleum. Shallow desalinated lakes and local estuaries inhabited by fish and game, overgrown with thick reeds of the shore, create a swampy, impassable area.

Mikhail Lermontov disparagingly describes the town of Taman in his novel, *A Hero of Our Time*.

The German Wehrmacht and the Romanian Army occupied the Taman Peninsula in 1942; the Soviet Red Army recovered it in 1943. The story of the motion picture *Cross of Iron* revolves around conflicts that arise within the leadership of a Wehrmacht regiment during the German retreat from the Kuban bridgehead.

In 2018, archaeologists discovered the remains of ancient Greek musical instruments, a harp and a lyre. The instruments were discovered while examining an ancient necropolis located near the Volna settlement. Archaeologists say that a Greek polis existed there from the second quarter of the 6th century BC to the 4th century AD, which belonged to the Bosporan Kingdom.

She was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1987 provincial election, defeating her Progressive Conservative opponent by more than 6000 votes in the riding of Ottawa–Rideau. The Liberals won a majority government in this election under David Peterson, and O'Neill served as parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Education in 1987–1988.

The Liberals were upset by the New Democratic Party in the 1990 provincial election, although O'Neill was comfortably re-elected in her own riding. She served as Deputy Opposition Whip from 1990 to 1992, and held a number of official critic positions.

The Progressive Conservatives won a majority government in the 1995 provincial election, and O'Neill lost her riding to Progressive Conservative Garry Guzzo by 1,523 votes.

## Later life

She went on to serve with Elections Canada as the Federal Returning Officer for the electoral district of Ottawa West Nepean.

She died from cancer on September 6, 2010, at the Cumberland Regional Health Centre in Amherst, Nova Scotia at the age of 74. A funeral was held on September 15, 2010, at the St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Ottawa.
