Former television programming

In-ring shows

Heavyweight Wrestling (1956–1971)

The very first programming produced by the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, the WWWF's immediate predecessor,  was Heavyweight Wrestling. The show involved wrestlers of low card to main event status. Following an episode's final match, the ring announcers informed viewers about next week's matches. Most of the events were held in District of Columbia's National Arena. Ray Morgan did the commentary for the show and "Friendly" Bob Freed and "Smiling" Sam Mason served as ring announcers. Usually the main events involved WWWF Champion Bruno Sammartino retaining his title. The show ended in September of 1971 and was replaced by All-Star Wrestling.

All-Star Wrestling (1971–1986)

All-Star Wrestling was a WWF promotional show that featured enhancement matches and interviews that were designed to further featured talent. The show was taped at the Hamburg Fieldhouse in Hamburg, Pennsylvania. The show replaced Heavyweight Wrestling from Washington DC. All-Star Wrestling ran from October 2, 1971 through August 30, 1986, when it was replaced by the new program Wrestling Challenge. Challenge was the "B" show of the WWF's syndicated programming, behind Superstars. Typically, the show comprised matches with play-by-play from Vince McMahon, with occasional assistance from Lord Alfred Hayes and Pat Patterson; it was later hosted by Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura. From 1982 until 1984, the theme of All-Star Wrestling was "Gemini Dream" by The Moody Blues. From 1984 to 1986, the theme was David Bowie's "Modern Love".

Championship Wrestling (1971–1986)

Championship Wrestling is one of the original TV shows of the World Wrestling Federation. It included all the stars of the WWF, interviews and championship matches. The show lasted from 1971 until August 1986 and was the flagship of the WWF's programming until it was replaced by Superstars of Wrestling. In 1984, the show used "Thriller" by Michael Jackson as its opening theme. The host and announcer was Vince McMahon, often joined by a co-host.

WWF on MSG Network (1976–1997)

All American Wrestling (1983–1994)

WWF All American Wrestling is a cable television program that was a predecessor to Tuesday Night Titans and Saturday Night's Main Event, originally filling the 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time slot on Sundays vacated by the cancellation of Southwest Championship Wrestling.

World Championship Wrestling (1984–1985)

World Championship Wrestling is a television program that was produced by WWF that aired on Superstation WTBS from 1984 to 1985. The show took over the time slot of Georgia Championship Wrestling's World Championship Wrestling program that had been broadcasting on WTBS for 12 years; the WWF had purchased a majority interest in GCW. Poor fan response to the use of match footage already broadcast elsewhere instead of new matches and the style of WWF programming led Turner to give other time slots to competing promotions, leading to strained relations between TBS and the WWF. The time slot and program name was eventually sold to Jim Crockett Promotions, who continued to use the World Championship Wrestling for the show name until 1988, when TBS itself bought the assets of JCP and used the name for the promotion World Championship Wrestling.

Maple Leaf Wrestling (1984–1986)

Maple Leaf Wrestling is a television program that was produced by WWF that aired exclusively in Canada. The show came into creation after the WWF's takeover of the then-NWA-affiliated Maple Leaf Wrestling promotion.

At the time of the original airing it was a rare example of professional wrestling being broadcast on an over-the-air commercial Free television network after the 1950s. It coincided with and contributed to the apogee of the "second golden age" of professional wrestling in the United States. In a time when weekly programming consisted primarily of established stars dominating enhancement talent, Saturday Night's Main Event was made up entirely of star vs. star matches. After leaving NBC in 1991, it aired twice on Fox in 1992 before disappearing.

Sde Yoav (, lit. Yoav's Field) is a kibbutz in southcentral Israel. Located between the cities of Kiryat Gat, Kiryat Malakhi and Ashkelon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council. In  it had a population of .

History

Kibbutz Sde Yoav was established in 1966 by members of Hashomer Hatzair. It was founded on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Iraq Suwaydan.After drilling in the 1950s in the hopes of finding oil, the boreholes were covered for 30 years until developers realized their potential as a source of sulfur-rich mineral baths. In the 1980s, the kibbutz opened a spa, Hamei Yoav.

According to the Ashkelon district archaeologist of the Israel Antiquities Authority, a Byzantine winepress unearthed at Hamei Yoav, as well as three similar presses found nearby, were located along the ancient road from Beit Guvrin to the port in ancient Ashkelon. From here, it is believed the wine was exported to Europe and North Africa.

Francis Focer Brown (January 19, 1891 – April 14, 1971) was an American Impressionist painter, as well as professor and head of the Fine Arts Department at Ball State Teachers College (present-day Ball State University) in Muncie, Indiana from 1925 until his retirement as Professor Emeritus in 1957, and was director of the Ball State  Art Gallery until 1946. He exhibited his work at the Hoosier Salon shows between 1922 and 1964, winning several awards for his oils, pastels, and watercolors between 1925 and 1945. He also won prizes for works he exhibited at the John Herron Art Institute and the Richmond Art Museum in 1922. In addition, he exhibited his work at the Herron School of Art Museum, Ball State University, Indiana Art Club shows, and the Indiana State Fair, as well as exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1922 and 1923, and Cincinnati Museum of Art between 1922 and 1925.

Brown studied with Hoosier Group painter J. Ottis Adams while still a high school student before enrolling at the John Herron Art Institute, where he studied under Hoosier Group painter William Forsyth. Brown also studied at Ball State, and earned a master of arts degree from Ohio State University. Brown was a member Indiana Art Club and the Hoosier Salon. His work is held in collections at John Herron Art Institute (present-day Indianapolis Museum of Art), Ball State University, the Richmond (Indiana) Art Museum, and in various schools and libraries throughout Indiana.

Early life and education
Francis Focer Brown was born in Glassboro, New Jersey, on January 19, 1891. He later relocated with his family to Muncie, Indiana, where he attended school. Brown's talent in art was apparent at an early age. He began formal art training with private art instruction from Hoosier Group painter J. Ottis Adams at The Hermitage (Adams's home in Brookville, Indiana) The course that Adams offered lasted only seven weeks, so Brown rented a room  to be near Adams, whom he described in later years as "a wonderfully kind and inspiring teacher"

After high school, Brown enrolled at the John Herron Art Institute, where he studied under Hoosier Group painter William Forsyth, and graduated from Herron in 1916. Brown also studied at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, Ball State University, and later earned a Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University. In addition to Adams and Forsyth, James R. Hopkins was another of Brown's instructors.

Marriage and family
While a student at the Herron Art Institute in 1915, Brown met Beulah Hazelrigg. They married on January 4, 1916, about three months after they first met. Hazelrigg (1892–1987), an Indiana native, taught school for two years at Oolitic, Indiana, and graduated from Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in 1913 before enrolling at the Herron Art Institute on scholarship in the fall of 1915. Brown and Hazelrigg were students of William Forsyth, who felt that art students should make art their priority and remain single. Ignoring their art teacher's advice, they married while they were still students. The Browns spent the remainder of their lives together as artists and educators. They also had two sons: Hillis Alvin (1919–1983) and Folger Wescott (1922–??). During the Great Depression, Brown's widowed mother-in-law moved in with the family to help with the housekeeping and childcare, so that he and his wife could pursue their careers.

Career
After graduating from the John Herron Art Institute in 1916, Brown taught at Wingate and Mitchell, Indiana, for two years. In 1918 he became a teacher at Richmond, Indiana, where the Browns remained for the next seven years. Brown joined the faculty at Ball State Teachers College (present-day Ball State University), in 1925. The family, which now included two sons, moved to Muncie, Indiana, which remained Brown's home until his death in 1971. In 1932, the Browns had an art studio added to the rear of their home, where they worked on their art. The studio was also a gathering place for their two sons and their friends. Brown was a professor and director of Ball State's Fine Arts Department from 1925 to 1957, when he retired as Professor Emeritus. He was also director of the Ball State Art Gallery until 1946.

As Brown pursued a career as an art educator, his artistic progress earned him recognition as a talented painter. Brown regularly exhibited his art at Hoosier Salon shows between 1922 and 1964, where he won a number of cash awards for his oils, pastels, and watercolors in 1925, 1926, 1928, 1929, 1937, and in 1945. He also exhibited his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1922 and 1923, the Indiana Art Club, the John Herron Art Institute, the Cincinnati Museum of Art, the Richmond Art Association, and the Indiana State Fair. Brown won prizes at a Richmond Art Association exhibition and at a Herron exhibition in 1922. He also exhibited his work at Western Art Association shows, as well as the Cleveland Museum of Art and other local, regional, and national art exhibitions and organizations, including the Richmond Group, a well-known collective of Indiana artists working in the Richmond, Indiana, area.

Brown was diagnosed with glaucoma in 1949 and retired from teaching at Ball State in 1957. Brown gave up his studio at Ball State, but continued to paint in retirement in the home studio he shared with his wife. In his later years, as he began working more hours at home, Brown switched from oils to water-based media such as tempera, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, charcoal and pencil, largely because oils irritated Beulah Brown's allergies. Only a small percentage of his work was created in encaustics or oils.

Lifeworks

During his formative years as an educator, Brown developed a personal style that bordered on impressionism. His juxtaposed strokes of contrasting color later lead him to better understand and assimilate his own version of impressionism. Unlike many other impressionists of the era, Brown expanded the boundaries of impressionism beyond many of his contemporaries, including departures that encompassed both the Fauve and Expressionist movements. In his artistic expressions, Brown experimented with bold colors and, often, nearly formless subject matter that was intertwined with atmospherics and light in a manner similar in stubstance to Charles Burchfield's watercolors and Vincent van Gogh's signature style, especially when Brown worked in egg tempera or in oils.

Throughout his life, Brown maintained a consistent pattern of experimentation, clearly demonstrating his intention to move beyond impressionism. Brown's subject matter often focused on the Hoosier countryside using atmospheric effects and light. Works undertaken later in his later years were much more broadly brush stroked that his earlier works, often focusing on life pictures that reveal a spontaneity to those in his early landscapes.

Among his peers, Brown's interpretation of atmospherics was regarded as vastly superior to many of his older colleagues, who largely sacrificed their conservative palettes in order to exploit a more decorative artificiality. Brown's use of brightly-pigmented tempera, which created a depth and texture similar to that found in many of the great post-impressionist painters, appears to amplify the effects of atmospherics and light. Brown's subject matter was equally far reaching, including portraits, still life, marine art, landscape art, architectural art, and industrial scenes.

Brown's work, as revealed in several exceptionally spontaneous works, captured the essence of the Midwestern atmosphere, and, more importantly, the feeling of a simple place and time.
Brown's brushwork and rapid manipulation of bright pigments were successful in simplifying elements and forms for the viewer.

Death and legacy
After his death on April 14, 1971, at the age of eighty, the Muncie Star described Brown's work as art which "didn’t attempt to cure the World’s ills or point out a message."

Brown's imagery and style greatly expanded the scope of basic Midwestern impressionism far beyond those of his contemporaries.

Brown's works are in the collections of the Ball State University Museum of Art, the  Indianapolis Museum of Art (formerly the Herron Art Institute), and the Richmond Art Museum.

Brown's portrait was painted by Wayman Elbridge Adams, who studied at the Herron School of Art and was known for his portraiture that included prominent artists, political leaders, and authors such as Booth Tarkington.

Zeta Doradus, Latinized from ζ Doradus, is a young star system that lies approximately 38 light-years away. The system consists of two widely separated stars, with the primary being bright enough to be observed with the naked eye but the secondary being much a much fainter star that requires telescopic equipment to be observed.

Components
Zeta Doradus A is a bright, high proper motion star with a spectral type of F7V, meaning that it is a main sequence star that is hotter and brighter than the Sun. With an apparent magnitude of 4.82, it is approximately the eighth brightest star in the constellation of Dorado.

Though it has been known that Zeta Doradus B is a nearby star since at least the Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars, the connection that it is a common proper motion companion to Zeta Doradus A was only made much more recently thanks to Hipparcos satellite data. The two stars form a wide binary, with a physical separation between the components of about 0.018 parsecs (0.06 light-years) which is approximately 3700 AU. This is comparable to the 15000 AU separation between Alpha Centauri AB and Proxima Centauri.

Both components of the system show considerable activity: the log R'HK of the stars are -4.373 and -4.575, respectively, whereas a star is "quiet" when it has a Log R'HK of <-4.8. This indicates that the system is young; indeed, the estimated age for Zeta Doradus A is only 0.58 billion years, about an eighth of the solar age.

It is not unusual for a young star to possess a debris disk; Zeta Doradus A is no exception, as it has been found to have an infra-red excess indicative of a disk of small bodies like comets re-emitting absorbed light at a redder wavelength. For Zeta Doradus A, the dust disk has a luminosity of 6.0 x 10−6 times the solar luminosity and a temperature of 91 ± 12 Kelvin, indicating that it lies at a separation of several AU.

Planet searches
Stars of early spectral type (>F8) are often ignored by radial velocity (RV)-based planet searches due to issues with precision: their high temperature decreases the depth of their spectral lines and they tend to be fast rotators, which broadens their spectral lines. Still, it is still sometimes possible to reach levels of precision capable of the detection of planets in AF-type stars, so Zeta Doradus A was included in a sample early-type stars observed with HARPS. The star was found to be RV-stable to 17 m/s with internal uncertainties of 3 m/s, which indicates that the star does not have any close-in high mass companions, but does not preclude the presence of sub-Jovian mass planets.

Diana Barnato Walker MBE FRAeS (15 January 1918 – 28 April 2008) was a pioneering British aviator. In World War II, she became one of the first women pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary, flying 80 types of aircraft and delivering 260 Spitfires. In 1963, she became the first British woman to break the sound barrier, flying at Mach 1.6, which also represented a world air speed record for women.

Early life
Diana Barnato was born on 15 January 1918 in London, the younger daughter of Woolf Joel Barnato (1895–1948), a financier and racing driver, and Dorothy Maitland, née Falk (1892/3–1961). In 1936, at the age of 18, she was a debutante and was presented to King Edward VIII at Buckingham Palace. She attended Queen's College, London.

From an early age, she became interested in aircraft and at age 20 she decided to become a pilot. Her initial training was in Tiger Moths at the Brooklands Flying Club, the aerodrome being located within the famous motor racing circuit in Surrey. She showed a natural aptitude for flying and made her first solo flight after only six hours of dual instruction.

Family
Her parents were Dorothy Maitland Falk (1893–1961), an American from White Plains, New York and Woolf Barnato (1895–1948), Chairman of Bentley Motors and a leading member of their racing team. They were married at the Ritz Carlton in London. Her paternal grandfather was a British Jew, Barney Barnato (1851–1897), a co-founder of the De Beers mining company in Johannesburg. Her parents later divorced.

In 1935, her mother remarried to Lt. Richard Butler Wainwright. Her father remarried twice, first to Jacqueline Claridge Quealy from 1933 to 1947, and second, to Joan Jenkinson from 1947 until his death in 1948.

World War II

Red Cross
Soon after the outbreak of World War II, Diana volunteered to become a Red Cross nurse. In 1940 she was serving as a nurse in France before the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk and later drove ambulances in London during the Blitz.

Air Transport Auxiliary
In early 1941 she applied to become one of the first women pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) and successfully took her initial assessment flying test at their headquarters at White Waltham, Berkshire, on 9 March 1941 with the ATA's Chief Flying Instructor, A.R.O. Macmillan, in the Tiger Moth's rear seat.

Barnato Walker was admitted to the ATA's Elementary Flying Training School at White Waltham on 2 November 1941. After a lengthy period of intensive flight instruction and tests in primary training aircraft, she joined her first ATA Ferry Pool (FP), No.15 FP at RAF Hamble, Hampshire, on 9 May 1942. She soon began to deliver low-powered single engine aircraft from factory or repair base to storage units and RAF and Naval flying units.

Further advanced training permitted her to deliver several hundred Spitfires, Hurricanes, Mustangs, Tempests and other high performance fighter aircraft. After further training, she was eligible to deliver twin-engined aircraft and delivered Whitleys, Blenheims, Mosquitos, Mitchells and Wellingtons, normally flying solo when doing so. She continued intensive flying with the ATA until the organisation was disbanded in late 1945. By that time she had flown 80 types of aircraft and had delivered 260 Spitfires.

Post war

Women's Junior Air Corps
After the end of the War, Barnato Walker continued flying and gained her commercial flying licence. For many years she was a volunteer pilot with the Women's Junior Air Corps (WJAC), later the Girls' Venture Corps, giving flights to air-minded teenage girls to encourage them to enter the aviation industry. In July 1948, an aircraft that she was flying burst into flames near White Waltham. Rather than bail out and lose the WJAC's aircraft, she switched off the fuel and glided the aircraft back.

Air Speed record
On 26 August 1963 she flew an English Electric Lightning T4 to Mach 1.6 (1,262 mph) after convincing the Air Minister to let her fly it with Squadron Leader Ken Goodwin as her check pilot, and so became the first British woman to break the sound barrier. She also established by this flight a world air speed record for women.

Personal life
She was engaged to Squadron Leader Humphrey Trench Gilbert DFC of No. 65 Sqn RAF in April 1942, but he died in a flying accident 2 May 1942 when Spitfire BL372/YT-Z crashed at Loves Farm, Cutlers Green, Thaxted, Essex. With him in the Spitfire was Flt Lt David Gordon Ross. They took off from Great Sampford, the RAF Debden satellite station, having consumed 6-8 bottles each of Benskins Colne Springs beer, according to the licensee of the pub. This information was not revealed until after the Court of Enquiry. The Commanding Officer tried to borrow a Magister but his flight sergeant, realising that he was in no fit state to fly, told him it was unserviceable. He then took a Spitfire.

Two years later, on 6 May 1944, she married Wing Commander Derek Ronald Walker RAF. He continued active flying operations until he was killed on 14 November 1945 in bad weather while flying a North American Mustang fighter between two UK airfields.

Barnato Walker vowed never to marry again. For 30 years she was in a relationship with Whitney Straight, a married pilot and a pre-war champion racing driver, like her father. In 1947, the couple had a son: Barney Barnato Walker.

Shortly after her record-breaking flight in 1963, Barnato Walker was diagnosed with cancer, and subsequently had three operations. She was awarded the MBE in 1965 for services to aviation, and was a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. She died on 28 April 2008, aged 90.

GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing, known in Japan as , is a racing game developed by MTO and published by THQ for the Game Boy Advance. It is the sequel to GT Advance 2: Rally Racing, based heavily on the gameplay from GT Advance Championship Racing, and the third game in the GT Advance series.

Gameplay
The game reportedly mixes the first two games of the series—it has the city environments and paved streets of the first game, but the physics engine is slippery, much like the second, changing the strategy drastically from GT Advance Championship Racing. There are 97 cars available, and all are customizable. Also added to the game is the "Drift Combo" mode, in which the player needs to drift a certain number of times within a set time limit to unlock a new car.

Development
GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing was first announced in November 2002 to be under development. The following year in February, THQ released updated information regarding the game along with screenshots, showing the game's increased graphical power over its predecessors.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. GameSpot called GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing as a spicier version of the original GT Advance that was released when the Game Boy Advance launched in June 2001. IGN was also positive of the game, but noted that other Game Boy Advance games like Colin McRae Rally 2.0 and Moto Racer Advance have better graphics systems. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40.

Ayres received the Gaudeamus International Composers Award for composition in 1994. His piece No. 31 (for trumpet and ensemble) received a recommendation at the UNESCO Rostrum of Composers in Paris in 1999. He received the Matthijs Vermeulen Award in 2003.

He was Featured Composer at the Huddersfield Festival in 2003 and his music has been heard at the Aldeburgh Festival: his first opera, The Cricket Recovers was premiered there in 2005.  It has since had new productions in Stuttgart, Weimar and Braunschweig.  His second opera is Peter Pan (Staatsoper Stuttgart/Komische Oper Berlin/Welsh National Opera and Royal Opera House, 2015).

In the orchestral arena his No. 37b for orchestra was premiered at the Donaueschingen Musiktage by the SWR Sinfonieorchester Freiburg and Baden-Baden and has since been taken up by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.  No. 40 NONcerto for oboe and chamber orchestra was premiered by Baart Schneemann and the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra in 2006.

2008 saw the premiere of No. 42 In the Alps for soprano and ensemble which was premiered and toured throughout the Netherlands by Barbara Hannigan and the Netherlands Wind Ensemble. He also wrote No. 43 Glorious, a work for chamber ensemble and film – a collaboration with film-maker Guy Maddin for the SHIFT Festival in Amsterdam and Canada.

His piece No. 52 (Three pieces about Ludwig van Beethoven: dreaming, hearing loss and saying goodbye) was given its world premiere at the BBC Proms on 20 September 2020 at the Royal Albert Hall, London, performed by the Aurora Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Collon.  That and the piece's second performance were given five-star reviews by The Times and The Daily Telegraph who, respectively, described the piece as "startlingly joyous" and "deeply moving... [m]agnificent".

In January 2004, Ayres was appointed as teacher of composition at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. He remained in his position here until 2006 and now teaches at the Amsterdam Conservatoire.

Miranda is a feminine given name of Latin origin, meaning "worthy of admiration". There are several variants. The given name is said to have been invented by William Shakespeare for a character in his play The Tempest.

Usage
The name has been well used in the Anglosphere since the 20th century. Usage of the name in the United States peaked during the 1990s, when it was among the 100 most popular names for American girls. It also peaked in usage in the 1990s or early years of the 21st century in countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Sweden.  It has also been well used in other Spanish speaking countries such as Mexico, where it was among the 100 most popular names for Mexican girls in 2020 and 2021.

In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as module theory, Schanuel's lemma, named after Stephen Schanuel, allows one to compare how far modules depart from being projective.  It is useful in defining the Heller operator in the stable category, and in giving elementary descriptions of dimension shifting.

Statement

Schanuel's lemma is the following statement:

If 0 → K → P → M → 0 and 0 → K′ → P′ → M → 0 are short exact sequences of R-modules and P and P′ are projective, then K ⊕ P′ is isomorphic to K′ ⊕ P.

Proof

Define the following submodule of P ⊕ P′, where φ : P → M and φ′ : P′ → M:

The map π : X → P, where π is defined as the projection of the first coordinate of X into P, is surjective.  Since φ′ is surjective,  for any p in P, one may find a q in P′ such that φ(p) = φ′(q).  This gives (p,q)  X with π(p,q) = p.  Now examine the kernel of the map π:

We may conclude that there is a short exact sequence

Since P is projective this sequence splits, so X ≅ K′ ⊕ P.  Similarly, we can write another map π : X → P′, and the same argument as above shows that there is another short exact sequence

and so X ≅ P′ ⊕ K.  Combining the two equivalences for X gives the desired result.

Long exact sequences

The above argument may also be generalized to long exact sequences.

Origins

Stephen Schanuel discovered the argument in Irving Kaplansky's homological algebra course at the University of Chicago in Autumn of 1958.  Kaplansky writes:
Early in the course I formed a one-step projective resolution of a module, and remarked that if the kernel was projective in one resolution it was projective in all.  I added that, although the statement was so simple and straightforward, it would be a while before we proved it.  Steve Schanuel spoke up and told me and the class that it was quite easy, and thereupon sketched what has come to be known as "Schanuel's lemma."

Space 11

Since September 2004 Vanishing Point has been running a Shared Resources Project with support from Scottish Arts Council Lottery and Glasgow City Council.

The first four companies to benefit from this initiative were ek Performance (Pamela Carter), Fire Exit Limited (David Leddy), Random Accomplice (led by Julie Brown and Johnny McKnight) and Vox Motus (led by Jamie Harrison and Candice Edmunds). The company has since worked with Stammer Productions (led by Colette Sadler), Never Did Nothing (led by Nick Underwood), Company Chordelia (led by Kally Lloyd-Jones), Glas(s) Performance (led by Tashi Gore and Jess Thorpe) and SeenUnSeen (led by Neil Doherty).

This project provides these companies with comprehensive office resources, and a creative environment in which experience, advice and information can be shared by all companies involved. Since December 2006, a consultancy program has been initiated and incorporated into the scheme with Di Robson from DREAM. This allows companies to focus on specific areas of need and benefit from the expertise of an individual advisor.

Proviz is a British company specialising in the design and production of high visibility and reflective sportswear and accessories for  cycling and running.

History
Proviz was founded in 2008 by two brothers Anthony and Rupert Langly Smith when they were both working in London and commuting to their respective jobs by bicycle. In 2008 they began to develop their own range of high visibility, reflective clothing for cycling and they launched their first five products in 2009.

In 2012, Proviz started working with Moore Large & Co Ltd, UK suppliers, and distributors of bicycles, bicycle accessories, and motorcycles. In July 2016 the company produced the Reflect360 CRS (Colour Reflective System).

In September 2016 Proviz opened its first US warehouse and launched a US website with the aim of selling  directly to the American and Canadian public.

In May 2017 the company started a website for Australia working with Bike Parts Wholesale to distribute its products to third-party retailers in Australia. In October 2017 the company launched their German website and began working with outdoor equipment distributor Relags, bringing the Proviz brand to shops in mainland Europe for the first time.

In October 2018, Proviz celebrated their  10th Anniversary and they started a ‘Defy the Darkness’ campaign.

Charity partnerships
From its early days in 2008, Proviz has partnered with the charity World Bicycle Relief, which provides Buffalo Bicycles to students, healthcare workers and entrepreneurs in rural Africa.  They introduced a system where customers can support World Bicycle Relief’s work by hitting a button at the checkout to donate 50p. Proviz and their customers have provided the funds for 60 Buffalo Bicycles.

In 2014, Proviz sponsored The One Show’s Rickshaw Challenge for Children in Need. The challenge saw six young people - all of whom had benefitted from the work of Children in Need - pedal a rickshaw 450 miles, from Salford in Manchester to the EastEnders set in the fictional London borough of Walford.

Pyrolite is a term used to characterize a model composition of the Earth's mantle. This model is based on that a pyrolite source can produce the Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt by partial melting. It was first proposed by Ted Ringwood (1962) as being 1 part basalt and 4 parts harzburgite, but later was revised to being 1 part tholeiitic basalt and 3 parts dunite. The term is derived from the mineral names PYR-oxene and OL-ivine. However, whether pyrolite is representative of the Earth's mantle remains debated.

Chemical composition and phase transition

The major elements composition of pyrolite is about 44.71 weight percent (wt%) SiO2, 3.98 wt% Al2O3, 8.18 wt% FeO, 3.17 wt% CaO, 38.73 wt% MgO, 0.13 wt% Na2O.

1) A pyrolitic Upper Mantle is mainly composed of olivine (~60 volume percent (vol%)), clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, and garnet. Pyroxene would gradually dissolved into garnet and form majoritic garnet.

2) A pyrolitic Mantle Transition Zone is mainly composed of 60 vol% olivine-polymorphs (wadsleyite, ringwoodite) and ~40 vol% majoritic garnet. The top and bottom boundary of the Mantle Transition zone are mainly marked by olivine-wadsleyite transition and ringwoodite-perovskite transition, respectively.

3) A pyrolitic Lower Mantle is mainly composed of magnesium perovskite (~80 vol%), ferroperclase (~13 vol%), and calcium perovskite (~7%). In addition, post-perovskite may present at the bottom of the Lower Mantle.

Seismic velocity and density properties

The P-wave and S-wave velocities (Vp and Vs) of pyrolite along the 1600 K adiabatic geotherm are shown in Fig. 2, and its density profile is shown in Fig. 3.

At the boundary between the Upper Mantle and the Mantle Transition Zone (~410 km), Vp, Vs, and density jump by ~6%, ~6%, and ~4% in a pyrolite model, respectively, which are mainly attributed to the olivine-wadsleyite phase transition.

At the boundary between the Mantle Transition Zone and the Lower Mantle, Vp, Vs, and density jump by ~3%, ~6%, and ~6% in a pyrolite model, respectively. With more elasticity parameters available, the Vp, Vs, and density profiles of pyrolite would be updated.

Shortcomings
Whether pyrolite could represent the ambient mantle remains debated.

In the geochemical aspect, it does not satisfy trace elements or isotopic data of Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts because the pyrolite hypothesis is based on major elements and some arbitrary assumptions (e.g. amounts of basalt and melting in the source). It may also violate mantle heterogeneity.

In the geophysical aspect, some studies suggest that seismic velocities of pyrolite do not match well with the observed global seismic models (such as PREM) in the Earth's interior,  whereas some studies support the pyrolite model.

Other Mantle Rock models

There are other rock models for the Earth's mantle:

(1) Piclogite: by contrast to the olivine-enriched pyrolite, piclogite is an olivine-poor model (~20% olivine) proposed to provide a better match to the seismic velocity observations in the transition zone. The piclogite phase composition is similar as 20% olivine + 80% eclogite.

(2) Eclogite, it is transformed from the Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt at a depth of ~60 km, exists in the Earth's mantle mainly within the subducted slabs. It is mainly composed of garnet and clinopyroxene (mainly omphacite) up to ~500 km depth (Fig. 4).

(3) Harzburgite, it mainly exists under the Mid-Ocean Ridge basalt layer of the oceanic lithosphere, and can enter into the deep mantle along with the subducted oceanic lithosphere. Its phase composition is similar as pyrolite, but shows higher olivine proportion (~70 vol%) than pyrolite.

Overall, pyrolite and piclogite are both rock models for the ambient mantle, eclogite and harzburgite are rock models for subducted oceanic lithosphere. Formed from partial melting of pyrolite, the oceanic lithosphere is mainly composed of the basalt layer, harzburgite layer, and depleted pyrolite from top to bottom. The subducted oceanic lithospheres contribute to the heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle because they have different composition (eclogite and harzburgite) from the ambient mantle (pyrolite).
