# Tom Moore Jr.

**Tom Moore Jr.** (May 16, 1918 – April 16, 2017) was a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1967 to 1973 from McLennan County. Moore is most noted for an April Fool's Day prank he played to demonstrate that his fellow legislators often did not read the legislation they were approving and for being a member of the "Dirty Thirty."

## Biography

Moore was born in Waco, Texas, May 16, 1918. He served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946. From 1952-1959, as McLennan County district attorney, Moore prosecuted "the first criminal trial to be televised in the United States."

## Boston Strangler prank

Moore introduced legislation on April 1, 1971 commending Albert DeSalvo—more commonly known as the Boston Strangler—including this wording:

> This compassionate gentleman's dedication and devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future. He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts for his noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control and applied psychology.

After it was passed unanimously by the House, Moore later withdrew the legislation, explaining he had only offered it to prove an important point that his fellow legislators didn't read much of the legislation they voted on.

## Dirty Thirty

Moore, along with 29 other bipartisan members of the 1971 Texas House of Representatives, became known as the "Dirty Thirty" after allying against the then-Speaker of the House Gus Franklin Mutscher and other Texas officials who had been charged in a bribery-conspiracy investigation by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Dirty Thirty kept the Sharpstown Stock-Fraud Scandal alive as a political issue. Even though Mutscher was still favored by a majority in the House, they called for a resolution to make Mutscher and his associates resign from leadership positions while the SEC investigation continued. Because of Mutscher's favored position, however, the measure failed. Another resolution for the House to make itself a committee to study the SEC allegation also failed. The Dirty Thirty's criticisms of Mutscher's system of controlling legislation eventually led Mutscher to agree to an investigation led by five of his closest House allies, all chairmen of other committees he had appointed. On the next-to-last day of the session, Mutscher attacked the Dirty Thirty, accusing them of irresponsible, partisan politics. The Dirty Thirty for their part called Mutscher a dictator over state politics, more concerned with private than public interests. This began the electoral battle, which Mutscher lost.

Mutscher, along with two other colleagues (Governor Preston Smith and Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes), were indicted by a Travis County grand jury in September 1971 for conspiracy to accept a bribe and accepting a bribe. Mutscher was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to five years' probation. Mutscher's colleagues, though not brought to trial, saw their political careers effectively ended. The Dirty Thirty also paid a price - Mutscher blocked most of their legislation actions and they were isolated from other Texas legislators. Moore died in April 2017 at the age of 98.


title: RASSF5

text:
# RASSF5

**Ras association domain-containing protein 5** is a protein that in humans is encoded by the *RASSF5 or F5* gene.

## Function

This gene is a member of the Ras association domain family. It functions as a tumor suppressor, and is inactivated in a variety of cancers. The encoded protein localizes to centrosomes and microtubules, and associates with the GTP-activated forms of Ras, Rap1, and several other Ras-like small GTPases. The protein regulates lymphocyte adhesion and suppresses cell growth in response to activated Rap1 or Ras. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

## Interactions

RASSF5 has been shown to interact with RRAS, RAP2A, MRAS and RASSF1.

# Lyon station

**Lyon** is an underground light rail station on the Confederation Line of the O-Train in Ottawa located in the western portion of Ottawa's downtown, specifically at Lyon Street and Queen Street, the latter being the street the line runs under within Ottawa's downtown core.

## Location

This O-Train station opened on September 14, 2019. It is located at the Lyon Street North and Queen Street intersection, between Bay Street and Kent Street, which formerly served as Transitway bus stops on Albert Street and Slater Street. This stop is projected to have high usage, with access to Sparks Street, the Supreme Court, and the National Archives of Canada.

## Layout

The station is an underground side platform station; the platforms are located 17.5 metres underground. A concourse above platform level has ticket barriers on either end, giving access to the Lyon Street (east) and Place de Ville (west) accesses.

An entrance is integrated into the Place de Ville complex, giving indoor access to a mid-rise office building, three office towers and two major hotels.

The station features two artworks: *With Words as their Actions* by PLANT Architect, led by Lisa Rapoport, a metal sculpture at concourse level, and *This Image Relies on Positive Thinking* by Geoff McFetridge, a series of murals of human figures located in the accesses.

## History

From July 16 to September 14, 2017, the underground light and music show Kontinuum was held in the not-yet-opened station as part of the Canada 150 celebrations.

title: Fluid coupling

abstract: A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or 'hydrokinetic' device used to transmit rotating mechanical power.

# Fluid coupling

A **fluid coupling** or **hydraulic coupling** is a hydrodynamic or 'hydrokinetic' device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine drives, where variable speed operation and controlled start-up without shock loading of the power transmission system is essential.

Hydrokinetic drives, such as this, should be distinguished from hydrostatic drives, such as hydraulic pump and motor combinations.

## History

The fluid coupling originates from the work of Hermann Föttinger, who was the chief designer at the AG Vulcan Works in Stettin. His patents from 1905 covered both fluid couplings and torque converters.

Dr Gustav Bauer of the Vulcan-Werke collaborated with English engineer Harold Sinclair of Hydraulic Coupling Patents Limited to adapt the Föttinger coupling to vehicle transmission in an attempt to mitigate the lurching Sinclair had experienced while riding on London buses during the 1920s Following Sinclair's discussions with the London General Omnibus Company begun in October 1926, and trials on an Associated Daimler bus chassis, Percy Martin of Daimler decided to apply the principle to the Daimler group's private cars.

During 1930 The Daimler Company of Coventry, England began to introduce a transmission system using a fluid coupling and Wilson self-changing gearbox for buses and their flagship cars. By 1933 the system was used in all new Daimler, Lanchester and BSA vehicles produced by the group from heavy commercial vehicles to small cars. It was soon extended to Daimler's military vehicles and in 1934 was featured in the Singer Eleven branded as Fluidrive. These couplings are described as constructed under Vulcan-Sinclair and Daimler patents.

In 1939 General Motors Corporation introduced Hydramatic drive, the first fully automatic automotive transmission system installed in a mass-produced automobile. The Hydramatic employed a fluid coupling.

The first diesel locomotives using fluid couplings were also produced in the 1930s.

## Overview

A fluid coupling consists of three components, plus the hydraulic fluid:

* The housing, also known as the *shell* (which must have an oil-tight seal around the drive shafts), contains the fluid and turbines.
* Two turbines (fanlike components):
    + One connected to the input shaft; known as the *pump* or *impeller*, or *primary wheel* *input turbine*.
    + The other connected to the output shaft, known as the *turbine*, *output turbine*, *secondary wheel* or *runner*

The driving turbine, known as the 'pump', (or *driving torus*) is rotated by the prime mover, which is typically an internal combustion engine or electric motor. The impeller's motion imparts both outwards linear and rotational motion to the fluid.

The hydraulic fluid is directed by the 'pump' whose shape forces the flow in the direction of the 'output turbine' (or *driven torus*). Here, any difference in the angular velocities of 'input stage' and 'output stage' result in a net force on the 'output turbine' causing a torque; thus causing it to rotate in the same direction as the pump.

The motion of the fluid is effectively toroidal \- travelling in one direction on paths that can be visualised as being on the surface of a torus:

* If there is a difference between input and output angular velocities the motion has a poloidal component
* If the input and output stages have identical angular velocities there is no net centripetal force - and the motion of the fluid is circular and co-axial with the axis of rotation (i.e. round the edges of a torus), there is no flow of fluid from one turbine to the other.

### Stall speed

An important characteristic of a fluid coupling is its stall speed. The stall speed is defined as the highest speed at which the pump can turn when the output turbine is locked and full input torque (at the stall speed) is applied. Under stall conditions all of the engine's power at that speed would be dissipated in the fluid coupling as heat, possibly leading to damage.

### Step-circuit coupling

A modification to the simple fluid coupling is the step-circuit coupling which was formerly manufactured as the "STC coupling" by the Fluidrive Engineering Company.

The STC coupling contains a reservoir to which some, but not all, of the oil gravitates when the output shaft is stalled. This reduces the "drag" on the input shaft, resulting in reduced fuel consumption when idling and a reduction in the vehicle's tendency to "creep".

When the output shaft begins to rotate, the oil is thrown out of the reservoir by centrifugal force, and returns to the main body of the coupling, so that normal power transmission is restored.

### Slip

A fluid coupling cannot develop output torque when the input and output angular velocities are identical. Hence, a fluid coupling cannot achieve 100 percent power transmission efficiency. Due to slippage that will occur in any fluid coupling under load, some power will always be lost in fluid friction and turbulence, and dissipated as heat. Like other fluid dynamical devices, its efficiency tends to increase gradually with increasing scale, as measured by the Reynolds number.

### Hydraulic fluid

As a fluid coupling operates kinetically, low-viscosity fluids are preferred. Generally speaking, multi-grade motor oils or automatic transmission fluids are used. Increasing density of the fluid increases the amount of torque that can be transmitted at a given input speed. However, hydraulic fluids, much like other fluids, are subject to changes in viscosity with temperature change. This leads to a change in transmission performance and so where unwanted performance/efficiency change has to be kept to a minimum, a motor oil or automatic transmission fluid with a high viscosity index should be used.

### Hydrodynamic braking

Fluid couplings can also act as hydrodynamic brakes, dissipating rotational energy as heat through frictional forces (both viscous and fluid/container). When a fluid coupling is used for braking it is also known as a *retarder*.

### Scoop control

Correct operation of a fluid coupling depends on it being correctly filled with fluid. An under-filled coupling will be unable to transmit the full torque, and the limited fluid volume is also likely to overheat, often with damage to the seals.

If a coupling is deliberately designed to operate safely when under-filled, usually by providing an ample fluid reservoir which is not engaged with the impeller, then controlling its fill level may be used to control the torque which it can transmit, and in some cases to also control the speed of a load.

Controlling the fill level is done with a 'scoop', a non-rotating pipe which enters the rotating coupling through a central, fixed hub. By moving this scoop, either rotating it or extending it, it scoops up fluid from the coupling and returns it to a holding tank outside the coupling. The oil may be pumped back into the coupling when needed, or some designs use a gravity feed - the scoop's action is enough to lift fluid into this holding tank, powered by the coupling's rotation.

Scoop control can be used for easily managed and stepless control of the transmission of very large torques. The Fell diesel locomotive, a British experimental diesel railway locomotive of the 1950s, used four engines and four couplings, each with independent scoop control, to engage each engine in turn. It is commonly used to provide variable speed drives.

## Applications

### Industrial

Fluid couplings are used in many industrial application involving rotational power, especially in machine drives that involve high-inertia starts or constant cyclic loading.

### Rail transportation

Fluid couplings are found in some Diesel locomotives as part of the power transmission system. Self-Changing Gears made semi-automatic transmissions for British Rail, and Voith manufacture turbo-transmissions for diesel multiple units which contain various combinations of fluid couplings and torque converters.

### Automotive

Fluid couplings were used in a variety of early semi-automatic transmissions and automatic transmissions. Since the late 1940s, the hydrodynamic torque converter has replaced the fluid coupling in automotive applications.

In automotive applications, the pump typically is connected to the flywheel of the enginein fact, the coupling's enclosure may be part of the flywheel proper, and thus is turned by the engine's crankshaft. The turbine is connected to the input shaft of the transmission. While the transmission is in gear, as engine speed increases, torque is transferred from the engine to the input shaft by the motion of the fluid, propelling the vehicle. In this regard, the behaviour of the fluid coupling strongly resembles that of a mechanical clutch driving a manual transmission.

Fluid flywheels, as distinct from torque converters, are best known for their use in Daimler cars in conjunction with a Wilson pre-selector gearbox. Daimler used these throughout their range of luxury cars, until switching to automatic gearboxes with the 1958 Majestic. Daimler and Alvis were both also known for their military vehicles and armoured cars, some of which also used the combination of pre-selector gearbox and fluid flywheel.

### Aviation

The most prominent use of fluid couplings in aeronautical applications was in the DB 601, DB 603 and DB 605 engines where it was used as a barometrically controlled hydraulic clutch for the centrifugal compressor and the Wright turbo-compound reciprocating engine, in which three power recovery turbines extracted approximately 20 percent of the energy or about 500 horsepower (370 kW) from the engine's exhaust gases and then, using three fluid couplings and gearing, converted low-torque high-speed turbine rotation to low-speed, high-torque output to drive the propeller.

## Calculations

Generally speaking, the power transmitting capability of a given fluid coupling is strongly related to pump speed, a characteristic that generally works well with applications where the applied load does not fluctuate to a great degree. The torque transmitting capacity of any hydrodynamic coupling can be described by the expression $r\\,N^{2}D^{5}$, where $r$ is the mass density of the fluid (kg/m3), $N$ is the impeller speed (rpm), and $D$ is the impeller diameter (). In the case of automotive applications, where loading can vary to considerable extremes, $r\\,N^{2}D^{5}$ is only an approximation. Stop-and-go driving will tend to operate the coupling in its least efficient range, causing an adverse effect on fuel economy.

## Manufacture

Fluid couplings are relatively simple components to produce. For example, the turbines can be aluminium castings or steel stampings and the housing can also be a casting or made from stamped or forged steel.

Manufacturers of industrial fluid couplings include Voith, Transfluid, TwinDisc, Siemens, Parag, Fluidomat, Reuland Electric and TRI Transmission and Bearing Corp.

# Weirdale, Saskatchewan

**Weirdale** (2016 population: 50) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Garden River No. 490 and Census Division No. 15. Weirdale is about 48 km northeast of the City of Prince Albert along Highway 55.

## History

Weirdale was founded between 1929 and 1931. It was given life when the Canadian Pacific Railway opened a new frontier on the Canadian Prairies. When the pioneers arrived in the area, they cleared out the thick forest and muskeg by hand creating rich farmland. The pioneers had large families that lived on every quarter of farmland. In turn, these large families brought the population to the area. In the early part of 20th century, transportation was much slower than it is today so it was much more difficult to travel long distances. Because of the difficulties in travelling, many small communities had to become self-sustaining in order to survive. At one point, Weirdale housed a hospital, school, flour mill, puffed wheat factory, and a lumber yard as well as numerous other small business that sustained the community. As transportation advanced and became more efficient, which was aided by the construction of modern highways, small villages across the prairies began to die economically.

Weirdale incorporated as a village on April 1, 1948.

# RV Tom Crean

**RV *Tom Crean*** is a multi-purpose research vessel operated by the Marine Institute of Galway, Ireland. It entered service in 2022 for use in fisheries research, oceanographic, hydrographic and geological research as well as deploying and maintaining weather buoys, observational infrastructure and remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). According to its owners it is the "worlds quietest research vessel", being the first vessel to exceed the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) noise standard for fisheries research. Named after Irish Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, the vessel is 52.8 metres (173 ft 3 in) long and can accommodate 12 crew members and 14 researchers. It is able to go to sea for at least 21 days at a time, and is designed to operate in harsh sea conditions. The vessel was commissioned to replace the RV *Celtic Voyager*.

## Design

The contract for the ship design was awarded to Norwegian ship design consultants Skipsteknisk AS with the design designated as ST-366 after a European Union tender process. The *Tom Crean* was designed as a silent research vessel: In order to minimise fish avoidance and collect high-quality acoustic data, its design and operation meet the criteria of the ICES 209 noise standard for fisheries research. These noise mitigation measures include a silent 7-bladed propeller and sound insulation for internal equipment. When at port, the vessel's onboard generators can be shut down and it can draw power from onshore facilities to reduce fuel consumption.

It is equipped with a dynamic positioning (DP1) and anti-roll system for operations in heavy seas. For oceanographic research, a heave-compensated conductivity temperature and depth (CTD) system is fitted, with 4,500 m (14,800 ft) of wire. A CTD hangar, CTD laboratory and controlled temperature chemical laboratory are also fitted. An 8-ton starboard side T-frame allows deploying drop cameras, grabs samplers and corers to a depth of 4,000 m (13,000 ft). A stern mounted 10-ton A-frame can articulate through 170 degrees can be used for deploying and recovering equipment such as ROVs and towed sleds, and for research fishing operations. The Marine Institute's Deepwater *Holland I* Work-class ROV and the University of Limerick (UL)'s *Etain* sub-Atlantic ROV can be positioned on the aft deck. The vessel can carry up to three TEU containers.

## Construction

The vessel was constructed by Astilleros Armon Vigo at Armon Shipyard b.129, Spain.

## Service history

After construction, the vessel completed sea trials in May 2022 and was officially commissioned on 8 July 2022. In its first year of service, the vessel completed 296 survey days across 20 surveys, involving 180 scientists and travelling more than 32,000 nautical miles.

One of the missions the *Tom Crean* is tasked with is performing INFOMAR (Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland's Marine Resources) surveys for Geological Survey Ireland. During its first year of service, five INFOMAR surveys were carried out, mapping an area of 6,317 square kilometres (2,439 sq mi). Later INFOMAR surveys located two previously undiscovered suspected shipwrecks, and mapped hundreds of shipwrecks in total. The second phase of INFOMAR surveys is planned to run until 2026, and expected to see the *Tom Crean* mapping the Celtic Sea off the Cork coast and the Atlantic Ocean off the west of counties Kerry, Clare and Galway. It has also collected data from locations such as the Porcupine Bank, approximately 300 kilometres (190 mi) west of Kerry; Aran Grounds; the Celtic Sea; and the Bay of Biscay.

title: Quarter period

abstract:
In mathematics, the quarter periods K(m) and iK ′(m) are special functions that appear in the theory of elliptic functions. The quarter periods K and iK ′ are given by
  - K ( m ) = ∫ 0 π 2 d θ 1 − m sin 2  θ and
  - i K ′ ( m ) = i K ( 1 − m ). When m is a real number, 0 < m < 1, then both K and K ′ are real numbers. By convention, K is called the real quarter period and iK ′ is called the imaginary quarter period. Any one of the numbers m, K, K ′, or K ′/K uniquely determines the others. These functions appear in the theory of Jacobian elliptic functions; they are called quarter periods because the elliptic functions sn  u and cn  u are periodic functions with periods 4 K and 4 i K ′. However, the sn function is also periodic with a smaller period (in terms of the absolute value) than 4 i K ′, namely 2 i K ′.

# Quarter period

In mathematics, the **quarter periods** *K*(*m*) and i*K* (*m*) are special functions that appear in the theory of elliptic functions.

The quarter periods *K* and i*K*  are given by

$$K(m)=\int \_{0}^{\frac {\pi }{2}{\frac {d\theta }{\sqrt {1-m\sin ^{2}\theta }}}}$$

and

$$\rm {i}K'(m)={\rm {i}K(1-m).\\,}$$

When *m* is a real number, 0 \< *m* \< 1, then both *K* and *K*  are real numbers. By convention, *K* is called the *real quarter period* and i*K*  is called the *imaginary quarter period*. Any one of the numbers *m*, *K*, *K* , or *K* /*K* uniquely determines the others.

These functions appear in the theory of Jacobian elliptic functions; they are called *quarter periods* because the elliptic functions $\operatorname {sn} u$ and $\operatorname {cn} u$ are periodic functions with periods $4K$ and $4{\rm {i}K'.}$ However, the $\operatorname {sn} $ function is also periodic with a smaller period (in terms of the absolute value) than $4\mathrm {i} K'$, namely $2\mathrm {i} K'$.

## Notation

The quarter periods are essentially the elliptic integral of the first kind, by making the substitution $k^{2}=m$. In this case, one writes $K(k)\\,$ instead of $K(m)$, understanding the difference between the two depends notationally on whether $k$ or $m$ is used. This notational difference has spawned a terminology to go with it:

* $m$ is called the **parameter**
* $m\_{1}=1-m$ is called the **complementary parameter**
* $k$ is called the **elliptic modulus**
* $k'$ is called the **complementary elliptic modulus**, where $k'}^{2}=m\_{1$
* $\alpha $ the **modular angle**, where $k=\sin \alpha ,$
* $\frac {\pi }{2}-\alpha $ the **complementary modular angle**. Note that

$$m\_{1}=\sin ^{2}\left({\frac {\pi }{2}-\alpha \right)=\cos ^{2}\alpha .}$$

The elliptic modulus can be expressed in terms of the quarter periods as

$$k=\operatorname {ns} (K+{\rm {i}K')}$$

and

$$k'=\operatorname {dn} K$$

where $\operatorname {ns} $ and $\operatorname {dn} $ are Jacobian elliptic functions.

The **nome** $q\\,$ is given by

$$q=e^{-{\frac {\pi K'}{K}.}}$$

The **complementary nome** is given by

$$q\_{1}=e^{-{\frac {\pi K}{K'}.}}$$

The real quarter period can be expressed as a Lambert series involving the nome:

$$K={\frac {\pi }{2}+2\pi \sum \_{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {q^{n}{1+q^{2n}.}}}}$$

Additional expansions and relations can be found on the page for elliptic integrals.

# Tyler McGregor

**Tyler McGregor** (born March 11, 1994) is a Canadian sledge hockey player, and captain of Canada’s national para hockey team.

## Early life

McGregor was born in Forest, Ontario on March 11, 1994, to parents Dean and Trudy. Growing up in Forest, Ontario, he started playing ice hockey when he was three years old and advanced to able-bodied AAA hockey, breaking his leg in a game in 2009 which ultimately led to a diagnosis of spindle cell sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. As a result, in January 2010 McGregor underwent eight months of chemotherapy and the amputation of his left leg above the knee.

## Career

Upon concluding treatment, McGregor was encouraged to try out sledge hockey by his former coaches. He started playing with a standing amputee team but soon switched to sledge hockey. McGregor began playing sledge hockey in 2011 and made the Canadian men's national para ice hockey team in 2012. In his international debut at the age of 18, he recorded a goal and two assists to help Team Canada win a silver medal at the 2012 World Sledge Hockey Challenge. The following year, McGregor became the youngest member of Team Canada to win a gold medal at the 2013 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships.

As a result of his success, McGregor was the second-youngest player named to Team Canada’s sledge hockey team for the 2014 Winter Paralympics, where he won a bronze medal. Following this, he collected 11 goals and 10 assists in six games during the 2015 International Ice Sledge Hockey Tournament to win a gold medal.

As a member of Team Canada at the 2017 World Para Ice Hockey Championships, McGregor recorded 12 goals to tie as the tournament leader and win a gold medal. Following the tournament, McGregor served as an alternate captain to bring Canada to a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Paralympics. In 2019 he was named captain of the national para hockey team, winning silver at the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympics, and silver at the 2029, 2021 and 2023 world championships.

# For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her

***For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her*** is the third studio album from American hip-hop musician McKinley Dixon. Released on May 7, 2021, it is a jazz rap and conscious hip hop album.

## Background and release

The album marked Dixon's first release on Spacebomb. Dixon discusses themes of racism, anxiety, and death across the album, explaining in the album's biography that "these things I talk about on the record have had harmful and brilliant effects on my timeline, and have forced me to be cognizant of the fact that living is complex."

Bandcamp Daily wrote that "the twists and turns in the music, themes, and lyrics serve as a reminder that with all of the loss and grief that comes along with being Black in this ugly, hostile world." Post-Trash said that the album "unabashedly expresses the totality of the artist," succeeding "at combining aggression and cynicism with the message that pure love, sincerity, and vulnerability are some of the most crucial feelings needed to survive and thrive." The album was awarded the first annual Newlin Music Prize in Richmond, VA in March, 2022.

# Mariamne Johnes

**Mariamne Johnes** (30 June 1784 – 4 July 1811) was the only daughter of Thomas Johnes of Hafod Uchtryd in mid Wales. She was a talented botanist and a friend and regular correspondent of the English botanist Sir James Edward Smith. She suffered with health problems for much of her life and died in London aged 27.

## Legacy

Much of the well-documented romantic landscape at Hafod Uchtryd, including *Mariamne's Garden*, was built by Thomas Johnes in order better his daughter's health and quality of life. In recent years the Gardens and landscape at Hafod have been restored and are open to the public.

After Mariamne's death her parents commissioned Francis Chantrey to produce a marble monument which depicts Thomas Johnes and his wife Jane mourning the loss of their daughter. The monument was badly damaged during a fire at Hafod church in 1932, but the remains can still be seen in the Church.

## Life and career

Li was born in Beijing in July 1956.

After graduating from Kim Il-sung University in 1977 he assigned to the Chinese Embassy in North Korea.

In 1994 he was promoted to become the Chinese Counsellor to South Korea, a position he held until 1997. Then he was Chinese Minister-Counsellor to North Korea. After this office was terminated in October 2001, he became the Chinese Ambassador to South Korea, serving until August 2005.

# TomorrowWorld

**TomorrowWorld** was an electronic music festival, held in the Atlanta metropolitan area within the town of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. Held from 2013 to 2015, the festival was a spinoff of the Belgian festival Tomorrowland. The festival was owned by LiveStyle, Inc. (formerly known as SFX Entertainment, Inc.) and organized and produced by EDM promoter ID&T, a wholly owned subsidiary of LiveStyle. In its inaugural year, TomorrowWorld received a nomination for Best Music Event at the International Dance Music Awards. The festival did not return in 2016 due to the bankruptcy of the SFX entertainment and also the backlash event organizers received due to weather-related and logistical issues during the 2015 edition.

## History

### 2013

In March 2013, Barnette Group, ID&T and SFX Entertainment announced that it would start holding an American spin-off of Tomorrowland, known as TomorrowWorld. The festival is held at Chattahoochee Hills, near Atlanta, Georgia. The site was specifically chosen due to its resemblance to Boom, Belgium, where Tomorrowland is traditionally held. To symbolize TomorrowWorld as the "next chapter" of the Tomorrowland festival franchise, the inaugural edition would re-use the "Book of Wisdom" main stage design that was used for the previous Tomorrowland in 2012.

Given TomorrowWorld was the first EDM event following two deaths at New York's Electric Zoo Festival, ticket sales were slower than expected overall. Adding the unconventional location and a higher age restriction of 21, industry insiders feared a potential flop. Nevertheless, TomorrowWorld had a successful inaugural edition without incidents. During the final week of September of that year, over 140,000 people gathered at Chattahoochee Hills, near Atlanta, Georgia to listen to the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Hardwell and more than 300 other EDM artists performing on eight different stages. Nearly 30,000 individuals stayed on site at the TomorrowWorld campground, known as Dreamville.

### 2014

The second edition of TomorrowWorld happened in September 2014, and brought a larger crowd with 150,000 attendees. An innovation was employing only cashless transactions, done by the same radio-frequency identification wristbands that served as entry tickets.

The first two editions of Tomorrowworld were billed as a Chattahoochee Hills event, despite being held just outside the city limits. On April 1, 2015, the City of Chattahoochee Hills annexed 4,920 acres of land, including the property that hosts Tomorrowworld. This meant that the festival would then be held inside the Chattahoochee Hills city limits. In addition to annexing the Tomorrowworld property, the Chattahoochee Hills City Council also unanimously approved a land use permit allowing for the event to be held until 2025. Carl Bouckaert, the owner of the land where Tomorrowworld is held, asked the City Council to approve his land use permit as a part of the annexation petition.

### 2015

The third edition of TomorrowWorld was held on the weekend of September 25, 2015. The event was marred by inclement weather; rain showers resulted in muddy terrain at the festival grounds, and entrance roadways to the grounds becoming unusable. On Saturday, due to the road conditions, organizers restricted shuttle service for attendees travelling back to Atlanta; those who were not outright stranded without shelter at the grounds overnight were required to hike miles towards areas where taxicab and Uber drivers offered rides back to Atlanta at high prices. The following morning, festival organizers announced that the remainder of the festival would only be open to those who had camped on-site, and that refunds would be issued to those who were affected by the transport issues or had bought tickets for day 3.

### Discontinuation

The fate of the 2016 edition was left in question due to the February 2016 bankruptcy filing of SFX, as well as the weather issues experienced in 2015. On March 2, 2016, SFX officially announced that TomorrowWorld 2016 had been cancelled.

### Edition's summary

| Year | Dates | Attendance | Theme |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2013 | 27, 28, 29 September | 140,000 | The Book of Wisdom |
| 2014 | 26, 27, 28 September | 150,000 | The Arising of Life |
| 2015 | 25, 26, 27 September | 150,000 | The Key to Happiness |

## Economic impact

A study commissioned by TomorrowWorld organizers concluded that the festival had an economic impact on the metro Atlanta area equivalent to the $70 million generated for the city during the 2013 NCAA Final Four. Independent research firm Beacon Economics reported in its study that visiting attendees' direct expenditures added $28.7 million into the local economy across areas such as lodging, restaurants, sight-seeing, etc. An estimated $4.3 million in tax revenues went to state and local governments as a result of event-related spending for TomorrowWorld 2013. This would be the equivalent of hiring 80 full-time school teachers for one year at a salary of $53,000. Labor income for workers in metro Atlanta and the greater state of Georgia increased by $34 million thanks to the direct and indirect work needed to support the influx of people and increased business from the event. TomorrowWorld employed the equivalent of 749 annual full-time jobs.

The second edition was also a financial success. SFX's profits were $10 million higher compared to the first TomorrowWorld, allowing the company to recover from net losses during the second quarter of 2014.

# RV Triton

The **Research Vessel *Triton*** is a trimaran vessel owned by Gardline Marine Sciences Limited and a former prototype British warship demonstrator for the UK's Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (later QinetiQ). She was built as a technology demonstrator ship for the Royal Navy's Future Surface Combatant, and has been used to both prove the viability of the hull-form and as a trials platform for other QinetiQ innovations. The ship was used by the Australian Border Force's Marine Unit, and was for a time moored in the River Fal near the King Harry chain ferry. Up until July 2019 she was moored on the River Yare, Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England.

## Construction

In August 1998, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) awarded a contract to Vosper Thornycroft to construct the trimaran, at a cost of £13.5m RV *Triton* was launched at Woolston in May 2000 and delivered in August 2000. *Triton* then began a two-year risk reduction trials programme for the UK MoD and the US Department of Defense.

The vessel's three parallel hulls are reflected in her name which refers to the maritime god Triton who carried the three-pronged spear, the trident. The outriggers are thinner and much shorter than the dominant central hull.

## Operational history

### DERA and QinetiQ

*Triton* was designed as a demonstrator to prove that the trimaran concept would work successfully in a large warship. Following her launch in 2000, the ship began an extensive series of trials in 2001, which covered general ship handling, performance, sea-keeping behaviour, but also areas more specific to its design for which the Royal Navy had no experience. For example, a series of docking manoeuvres were undertaken by the pilot boats of HMNB Portsmouth to determine the problems of docking a large trimaran, and the ship underwent underway replenishment alongside HMS *Argyll* and the tanker RFA *Brambleleaf* to ascertain the characteristics of a trimaran and a monohull replenishing at the same time. *Triton* also undertook the first helicopter take off and landing on a trimaran.

### Gardline Marine Sciences

In January 2005, *Triton* was sold to Gardline Marine Sciences, a UK company based in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. *Triton* was used for hydrographic survey work for the civil hydrography programme (CHP) on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). The vessel was fitted with a sensor suite which includes the Kongsberg Simrad EM1002 multibeam echo-sounder, a GPS attitude/heading system, surface navigation and ultra-short baseline sub-surface acoustic tracking system, Gardline Voyager5 integrated survey system and Caris post-processing system. The vessel was enhanced by Gardline by installing a bowthrust unit, additional accommodation and survey equipment facilities. In 2009, two new MTU engines were fitted; MTU 16v 4000 M40B. Output 2,080 kW (2,790 hp) each.

### Australian Customs

In December 2006, Gardline contracted *Triton* to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service to patrol Australia's northern waters as one of the service's fleet of patrol vessels. Australian Customs Vessel *Triton* has been fitted with two .50 calibre heavy machine guns and carries up to 28 armed customs officers. The vessel is also equipped with two 7.3 m (24 ft) high-speed rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs). The ship arrived from the UK in mid-January 2007 and started operations immediately. Austere accommodation is provided for 100 embarked persons in addition to conventional accommodation for 45.

# Urishay Castle

**Urishay** constitutes the remains of a castle, 16th century chapel and 17th century house located about 2.5 km west of Peterchurch in Herefordshire, England.

## History of the site

The first part of the name Urishay is derived from "Ulric" or "Urri" who was a twelfth-century tenant of the estate. The second part of the name comes from the word "Hay", meaning an enclosure in open woodland where wild game could be trapped.

Urishay Castle, was converted into a large house, which is now derelict and dismantled in 1921.

## Urishay Castle today

There are remains of a motte on which lies a ruined house dating back to the 17th or 18th century. The ruins of Urishay Castle Chapel, which dates to the 12th century, are owned and maintained by the Friends of Friendless Churches. The chancel contains a stone altar with five crosses on its surface.

Urishay Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a grade II\* Listed Building.

## Baker University

The Collins Library at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas houses a 15th-century room that came from Urishay Castle. The room, which was installed around 1908, is known today as the *Urishay Room*.
