Buildings

Warnock Engineering Building
The John and Marva Warnock Engineering building (referred to as the WEB) houses the offices of the College of Engineering. It also is the home of the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute and numerous classrooms and study rooms. The building was named after John Warnock and his wife Marva Warnock, both of whom graduated from the University of Utah, after he generously donated almost $6 million for its construction in 2003. Some additional funding for the project came from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation. Construction on the building was completed in 2007.

The Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute is located in the WEB.

The primary goal for building the WEB was to provide study space for students.  The building is composed mainly of study rooms, classrooms, computer labs, and open spaces.  The WEB is also home to the College of Engineering Dean's Office.

Civil and Materials Engineering
The Civil and Materials Engineering Building (referred to as the CME) is home to the Materials Science and Engineering Department and the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.

Kennecott Building
The Kennecott Building (referred to as Kenn) was built with generous support from Kennecott, operator of the Bingham Canyon Mine.

The Kennecott Building currently serves as classroom and lab space for the Mechanical Engineering Department.  However, starting in 2012, the Kennecott building will be undergoing major renovations and expansions in a four-phase plan to move the entire department over to the new Kennecott building. The first phase will be completed in late 2013.  After construction is complete, the Kennecott Building will house the entire Mechanical Engineering Department.

Floyd and Jeri Meldrum Civil Engineering Building
The Floyd and Jeri Meldrum Civil Engineering Building (referred to as the MCE) is a 14,500-square-foot addition to the former Energy and Minerals Research Building.  It brings together civil, environmental, and nuclear engineering faculty into adjacent space with a newly designed transportation operations center and environmental engineering labs. The construction of the building was supported by a generous $3.3 million gift from Floyd and Jeri Meldrum of Las Vegas.

Merrill Engineering Building
The Merrill Engineering building (referred to as the MEB) is named after Joseph F. Merrill who became the first principal of the College of Engineering. The first phase of construction on the Merrill Engineering Building was completed in 1960 and it served as the main building for the College of Engineering until the John and Marva Warnock Engineering building was completed. The building still houses most of the student and research labs used by the college of engineering.

The MEB also houses a TRIGA nuclear reactor 25 feet below ground level in a double-wall reactor tank filled with water that has been operating since 1975. The reactor was featured in a report by ABC in 2005 about the security concerns with university research reactors. ABC felt that the security was inadequate, but that has been disputed by many other sources.

The MEB is home to the School of Computing, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and the Chemical Engineering Department.  It also has various classrooms, student labs, and student work areas.

James LeVoy Sorenson Molecular Biotechnology Building
The James LeVoy Sorenson Molecular Biotechnology Building (referred to as the SMBB), completed in 2012, is a 200,000-square-foot, $150 Million USTAR facility that supports research in medicine, pharmacy, engineering, microfluidics, computer science and life sciences.  The building is physically located between the College of Health Sciences on the upper campus and the College of Engineering on the lower campus to serve as a research complex that connects faculty in multidisciplinary research areas between the two colleges.

Epic Fu (formerly known as JETSET) was a web series created by producers Steve Woolf and Zadi Diaz. The show premiered on June 1, 2006 with Zadi Diaz as the host and ended in 2011.

Airing weekly on the Epic Fu web site and various online distribution channels, the show draws its content from current news stories centered on art, music, technology and web culture.

Format

Compared to Rolling Stone and MTV by Advertising Age and described as a hyperfast-paced pop culture newscast by Wired, each episode of Epic Fu runs an average of 5–10 minutes and is generally divided into four main sections: news, music, interviews, and community.

News
Every episode of Epic Fu begins with Diaz at her desk introducing the week's top stories. The news section often includes stories highlighting how technology and the web is affecting culture in art, music, style and politics. News stories are also submitted by audience members.

Music
The show typically includes a music video intermission called "Music Video Spotlight" also known as "Sh!t We Like," which highlights an independent or unsigned band or musician.

Interviews
Interviews appear in the second half of the show and are generally conducted on-location. Guests include web personalities, technologists, artists, musicians, political figures, inventors, authors, television personalities, and off-beat types.

Community
The Epic Fu community provede news links, correspondent pieces, and response videos to "Campfire" discussions. The central hub for the show's community is called MIX, currently involving over 4,000 of the show's fans, and is located on the Epic Fu website. There, fans upload photos, videos, music, submit ideas, and begin discussions on forum threads.

EPIC FU also uses social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to connect with fans. The show regularly initiates collaborative projects to involve its community. Some of these have been a collaborative film, flash game battles, Alternate Reality Games (ARGs), and participation in an eco-challenge called Seven Days Without Plastic. Participating members are incorporated into the show.

History

Epic Fu first premiered as JETSET (also referred to as Jet Set Show) on June 1, 2006. Amanda Congdon and Andrew Baron were initially tied to the first few episodes of the production, but the partnership dissolved with the Rocketboom split in July 2006.

In April 2007, JETSET was the first established web show to sign with web video studio Next New Networks (NNN). NNN took the role of selling sponsorship and handling cross-promotion for the show. In its tenure with NNN, the show grew from 30,000-40,000 views per episode to 3 million views a month.

In October 2007, Smashface Productions decided to change the name of the show from JETSET to Epic Fu, citing a need to protect their intellectual property with a more original name.

After a year with NNN, Epic Fu was contemplating a move to television, but then signed with West Coast digital studio Revision3 in June 2008. A the time, EPIC FU was the highest profile web show to switch from one new media studio to another.  The partnership ended shortly after in December 2008, when Revision3 laid off nine employees, cancelled three original shows and eliminated two of its distribution deals, citing that the shows didn't fit with their long-term plans.

Currently, Epic Fu is independently run and distributed through Blip.tv.

Production

Episodes of Epic Fu are produced by Smashface Productions and filmed in Los Angeles, California. Production is led by Diaz and Woolf.

The show has had various producers involved throughout its time on-air, including Brian Lerner and Rick Rey. Annie Tsai and Sarah Atwood have also helped in production efforts and occasionally acted as correspondents. Daniel Merlot and Mike Ambs have been credited as editors.

Abu Bakr al-ʿAydarūs, also known as Sayyid Abū Bakr al-ʿAdanī ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿAydarūs (; 1447–1508) was a Hadhrami religious scholar of sufism and a poet of wrote several Arab poems in vernacular style. Abu Bakr led most of his adult life in Aden, where he was well respected for his societal contributions to the well-being of the city's residents. After his death in 1508, he was mourned by the city's residents, and was later venerated as the wali or "patron saint" of Aden.

Biography

Abu Bakr was born in Tarim in 1447. In his youth, Abu Bakr studied the teachings of Al-Ghazali, and in his early adulthood, he was sent to Aden to undertake missionary duties there. Abu Bakr oversaw the construction of the city's mosque and its Sufi school, and later settled down in the city. Nevertheless, he made occasional return trips to his family in  Tarim, many of whom relied on monetary endowment given by   charitable traders in the region.

His lineage is recorded as follows: He is Abu Bakr al-Adani bin Abd Allah al-Aydarus, bin Abu Bakr al-Sakran, bin Abd al-Rahman al-Saqqaf, bin Muhammad Mawla al-Dawilah, bin Ali Mawla al-Darak, bin Alawi al-Ghayur, bin Muhammad al-Faqih al-Muqaddam, bin Ali, bin Muhammad Sahib al-Mirbat, bin Ali Khali Qasam, bin Alawi al-Thani, bin Muhammad Sahib al-Sawma'ah, bin Alawi al-Awwal, bin Ubayd Allah, bin Ahmad al-Muhajir, bin Isa al-Rumi, bin Muhammad al-Naqib, bin Ali al-Uraydi, bin Ja'far al-Sadiq, bin Muhammad al-Baqir, bin Ali Zayn al-Abidin, bin Husayn, bin Ali bin Abi Talib and Fatimah al-Zahra, the daughter of Muhammad.

Abu Bakr was eventually made the Mansab (religious leader) of Aden. He was highly respected by the city's residents, who described him as a very brilliant and kind man with an excellent sense of justice. Abu Bakr was also respected by members of the local Jewish community, who provided refuge to the Jews who suffer from occasional harassment from the desert bandits. Abu Bakr also travelled to Harar after settling in Aden and introduced the Qadiriyya Tariqa among the Ethiopian natives.

Introduction of coffee
At least three Arab texts, namely the Ta'rikh of an-Najm al-Ghazzi, the Jāmiʻ karamāt al-awlīyāʼ of Yūsuf ibn Ismāʻīl Nabhānī and Istifa' al-Safwa li-Tashyat al-Qahwa, mention Abu Bakr's role in the introduction of coffee to the Hadhramaut. According to the Ta'rikh of an-Najm al-Ghazzi, Abu Bakr became impressed with the strong stimulating effect of the coffee fruit after he ate the berries of a coffee tree during his wanderings. He praised the effects of the coffee fruit, took the coffee berries and introduced them to his disciples. The other two sources, Jāmiʻ karamāt al-awlīyāʼ and the Istifa' al-Safwa li-Tashyat al-Qahwa mentioned of Abu Bakr's fondness of coffee and accredited him for the introduction of coffee to South Arabia.

Death and legacy

Abu Bakr's death in 1508 (although some source suggested that he died in 1503) was greatly mourned by the Adenis. The city residents published copies of obituaries commemorating the life of Abu Bakr, and an account of Abu Bakr's birthplace, Tarim was also published. His grave has since been visited by thousands of Muslim pilgrims every year who continue to pay their respects.

Aidarus mosque

Several people alleged the Abu Bakr may have possessed mystical powers and claimed that they had met his spirit while sleeping; a legend mentioned of a Sikh traveller who met Abu Bakr in his dream shortly after Abu Bakr's demise. The Sikh, who was suffering from a stomachache, fell asleep beside his tomb. In his dream, Abu Bakr instructed the Sikh to bathe in a nearby pond and he quickly recovered. Following the ordeal, the grateful Sikh built a mosque over Abu Bakr's grave and shortly before returning to India, he gave a promise to the local residents that he would provide the doors for the newly constructed mosque. The Sikh met Abu Bakr again after his return to India, who narrated to Abu Bakr of his difficulty of bringing wood to Yemen for the construction of the mosque's doors. Abu Bakr  provided instructions to the Sikh on the fate of the wooden logs, to which he duly followed and threw them into the sea. Residents at Sira later reported of receiving the wooden logs which the Sikh had thrown into the sea, and noted an inscription which stated the intended use of the wooden logs. The mosque later became the centre of Sufi learning in Aden, and several of his descendants took on the duty of the mosque's custodians. Renovations works were initiated during the 19th century and again in the 1990s, after the mosque suffered serious structural damage from the North Yemen Civil War.

Descendants
After relocating to Aden, Abu Bakr raised a family of his own and started off a new lineage. The al-ʿAydarūs clan was an offshoot of the Ba 'Alawiyya as-Saqqaf clan of Tarim. Many of his descendants established trading links with the Bedouins and the Qu'aiti sultans and took up prominent political positions. Other descendants migrated to India, Southeast Asia and East Africa from the late 14th century onwards and established new Islamic schools or Muslim ruling houses; among the first descendants to migrate was a grandson, ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿAydarūs and another descendant, ʿAbdallāh ibn Shaykh al-ʿAydarūs, who migrated to India and Aceh, respectively, and established new diaspora communities.

Oxalic anhydride or ethanedioic anhydride, also called oxiranedione, is a hypothetical organic compound, one of several isomers having the formula C2O3 that have been studied computationally. It can be viewed as the anhydride of oxalic acid or the two-fold ketone of ethylene oxide. It is an oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon).

The simple compound apparently has yet to be observed (as of 2009). In 1998, however, Paolo Strazzolini and others have claimed the synthesis of dioxane tetraketone (C4O6), which can be viewed as the cyclic dimer of oxalic anhydride.

It has been conjectured to be a fleeting intermediate in the thermal decomposition of certain oxalates and certain chemoluminescent reactions of oxalyl chloride.

The Whispered World is a 2009 German point-and-click adventure video game developed by Daedalic Entertainment and published by Deep Silver in Europe and by Viva Media in the United States. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux and iOS. A special edition was released in 2014 and a sequel titled Silence was released in 2016. The four-act game takes place in a fantasy world and features a melancholy twelve-year-old clown as its hero. The graphics are 2D and are all hand-drawn and animated.

Gameplay

The game is made using the Visionaire Studio engine. The game features a 2D scrolling viewport with parallax layers. The game is almost exclusively controlled by mouse. The player holds the left mouse button over objects or characters to bring up an interaction menu with "look", "talk", and "use" options. The player may hold the space bar to have the interactive portions of the world, such as objects, highlighted. This shows differently coloured indicators for objects, characters, and travel points.

Sadwick is accompanied by his pet caterpillar Spot who may perform certain actions. Spot can transform into several different forms useful for solving various puzzles. The forms are unlocked as the player progresses through the game. The game also features an inventory screen accessed by the right mouse button. Objects gathered from the world are stored in Sadwick's backpack. He may then use them in the world or combine them with other items.

Plot

The game takes place in Silentia, a dream fantasy world, that is the home of a young, sad circus clown named Sadwick. The story starts as he wakes up in his travelling circus trailer after having experienced a recurring nightmare, where he sees the world falling apart.

Sadwick goes for a walk in a nearby forest and meets Bobby, a Chaski, messenger of the King. Bobby is heading to Corona, the royal castle, to deliver a powerful artefact, the Whispering Stone, to the king. He claims the end of the world is near and the land is already breaking apart and that the Asgil, a hideous horde of underground creatures, are surrounding Corona. He tells Sadwick that he has been unsuccessfully seeking out an oracle named Shana for advice on shortening his trip, and he asks Sadwick to help him find her. Sadwick believes that maybe she can interpret his nightmares, and he convinces Bobby to give him the Whispering Stone to help him find the oracle. Shortly after Bobby gets scared away and disappears in what Sadwick believes was an Asgil attack. Sadwick finds a secret passage that, when activated by the Whispering Stone, leads him to Shana, and finds out from her that his destiny is to destroy the world.

Shana directs Sadwick to a nearby island to find mysterious Kalida who eventually takes him near Corona. There Sadwick comes across the Asgil hideout and manages to listen in to the plans of Asgil leader Loucaux but gets captured and thrown in a jail cell. After successfully escaping, he manages to board a flying steam locomotive to Corona, where he meets Bobby again who tells Sadwick that he is too late and the king has locked himself in his quarters. Exploring the castle, Sadwick finds a model of a planetary system linked to the flow of space-and-time itself. He meets the royal astronomer who tells him the Whispering Stone represents the planet Silentia in the model of 5 planets and the king must repair the system to restore the balance, but he has fallen ill, and only when the system is repaired can it activate the fountain of the Water of Life that can wake the king.

Upon repairing the mechanism himself, a blue sphere from Sadwick's nightmares appears saying that Sadwick is inevitably ending the world. Trying to prevent that, Sadwick jams the planetary system's mechanism stopping time itself and breaking all of the world into pieces. The Asgil occupy what is left of the castle, but Sadwick manages to trick Loucaux and reactivates the planetary mechanism again, restoring the cadence of time. He escapes and arrives at the king's quarters to wake him, in which he instead finds some familiar settings and a large mirror. Upon looking into the mirror, a boy in a hospital gown drags him through it into a black, empty room, with the mirror he was pulled through, and a mirror opposite it. Looking into the other mirror, Sadwick sees the boy in a hospital bed with his eyes closed, while a man reads a book next to him. The boy explains that in reality Sadwick is this boy lying in a coma while the blue sphere is the man, who is his father, reading him stories. Sadwick then breaks the mirror he came from and wakes up in the real world.

Development

The game's development began in 2004 as Marco Hüllen's diploma work for Rhein-Sieg Academy of Realistic Visual Arts and Design (). He was then hired by now defunct Bad Brain Entertainment and a demo was released in 2005. Bad Brain Entertainment went out of business in 2006 and the game was discontinued and offered to the community to continue as (and only as) a freeware adventure. However, in 2007, the relatively new Daedalic Entertainment acquired the rights to the project and re-hired Marco Hüllen and the game was subsequently finished and released in 2009.

Reception

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Overall, the reviews gave the PC version above-average scores, criticizing puzzle design and voice acting, yet praising hand-drawn artwork and emotional story.

Brett Todd of GameSpot deemed the PC version as average. He praised it for "gorgeous [..]" and "beautiful painted scenery and cartoon characters", "dreamlike storyline", and "some good, logical brainteasers." However, he criticized it for "erratic voice acting, including a whiney, nasally protagonist." Although acknowledging "detailed script", he criticized "excessive dialogue" and pointed out that "some of the charm of this dreamy fairytale is lost because there is too much dialogue." He also noted that "[..] many puzzles [..] defy logic" and "common sense is trampled on much of the time." John Walker of Eurogamer praised the game as "absolutely beautiful" with a remarkable, enormous world. He also noted the "splendid writing" and that "jokes are often fantastic, Sadwick's remarks inventively downbeat." However, he criticised the delivery and the "excruciating" voice acting. He also noted "annoying [..] impossibly random moments" with illogical puzzle solutions and often having "no idea what you should be doing next." Nathaniel Berens of Adventure Gamers praised the "quality of the visual presentation" with "absolutely stunning hand-drawn artwork" and "excellent soundtrack", as well as "charming" and "emotional" story, and Sadwick and Spot as a "uniquely likeable pair". He also noted that "puzzles are generally quite clever", but criticized that "a couple of puzzles make no sense until after you've figured them out by accident". He also noted awkward humour and Sadwick's voice. He mentioned that The Whispered World is "polished, well-realized adventure in the classic tradition".

According to the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, the PC version sold above 50,000 units worldwide by August 2010. The paper considered this figure to be a success.

Awards
During the German Game Developer Award 2009, The Whispered World received six nominations, more than any other title. The game was nominated in "Best German Game of the Year", "Best Game Design," "Best Graphics," "Best Youth Game," "Best Story," and "Best Soundtrack" categories. The game won "Best German Game of the Year" and "Best Story" titles.

Sequel

In early 2014, Daedalic Entertainment announced a sequel, titled Silence: The Whispered World 2. Initially slated to be released in late 2014, it was given a release time in late 2016. Taking place some time after the first game, it stars Noah, the young boy who was awoken from a coma at the end of the original game. Now a teenager, he must return to his dream world to search for his younger sister, who was separated from him during a bombing raid on their hometown.Silence was released on November 15, 2016.

The Halmahera Sea languages, also known as the Raja Ampat-South Halmahera languages, are a branch of Malayo-Polynesian languages of eastern Indonesia. They are spoken on islands in the Halmahera Sea, and on its margins from the south-eastern coast of Halmahera to the Raja Ampat Islands off the western tip of New Guinea.

The languages of the Raja Ampat Islands show a strong Papuan substratum influence; it is not clear that they are actually Austronesian as opposed to relexified Papuan languages.

Remijsen (2001) and Blust (1978) linked the languages of Raja Ampat to the South Halmahera languages.  David Kamholz (2014) breaks up Raja Ampat, so that the structure of the Halmahera Sea languages is as follows:

South Halmahera
Ambel–Biga: Waigeo (Ambel), Biga
As
Maden
Maya–Matbat: Matbat, Ma'ya (Salawati, Laganyan (Legenyem), Wauyai, Kawe, Batanta; perhaps distinct languages)

HMS Hazard was an 18-gun Favorite-class sloop of the Royal Navy. She was one of four s, which were a ship-rigged and lengthened version of the 1796 . All four ships of the class were ordered on 10 June 1823. She was launched in 1837 from Portsmouth Dockyard.

Service off West Africa and in the Mediterranean Station

In July 1837 Hazard sailed for the coast of Senegal to protect British shipping and to patrol the coast of West Africa.

In October 1837 she was in the Mediterranean. She took part in the Egyptian–Ottoman War (1839–1841), also known as the Second Syrian War, when the British Mediterranean Fleet under Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, supported the Ottoman Empire and took action to compel the Egyptians to withdraw from Beirut. During the Oriental Crisis of 1840 Hazard was involved in the bombardment of St. Jean d’Acre on 3 November 1840. In September 1841, she returned to Portsmouth then sailed to Hong Kong to serve in the East Indies and China Station.

Service in the East Indies and China Station

China and the First Anglo-Chinese War
During the period 1841–42 she served with Sir William Parker's ships in the First Anglo-Chinese War (1839–42), known popularly as the First Opium War.

Australia
Hazard arrived at Sydney, New South Wales, on 15 December 1842, having left Singapore on 18 October, and Anyer, Java, on 1 November, for refitting.

The French moved to seize control of Tahiti from Queen Pōmare IV and the Tahitians in 1843. HMS Vindictive sailed for the islands on 22 January, carrying George Pritchard, British Consul to Tahiti. Hazard followed out for Tahiti on 25 January, and then to cruise about the South Seas in search of the whaler Waterwitch which had been seized by the mate. In May, The Australian reported:
Captain Bell, of H.M.S. Hazard, on his arrival at Tahiti, sent a boat ashore in command of an officer, which, on reaching, was at once seized by the French guard stationed on Papiete beach, and the officer and his crew were taken prisoners. After a detention, however, of several hours, they were 'sent off' to their ship, with the understanding that  'the subjects of Great Britain could not on any account be allowed to land on that Island,'  as the French Governor declared the Island 'to be in a state of siege.' This declaration, on the part of the French Governor, is really too Quixotic to be viewed in any other light than that of pity—the act of besieging an unfortified place, must be brave indeed!

New Zealand and the Flagstaff War
Departing Sydney, New South Wales, on 4 July 1844, HMS Hazard, under Commander Charles Bell, RN, arrived at Auckland, New Zealand, on 12 July.

In August, HMS Hazard sailed to Port Nicholson, with the Governor of New Zealand, Captain Robert FitzRoy, RN. Though Commander Bell had been advised to stay over in Auckland due to illness, for his health he instead joined HM Colonial brig Victoria'''s cruise to the Bay of Islands. After arrival at the bay on Thursday 8 August, Commander Bell fell overboard between 9:00 and 10:00 pm, and died soon after rescue. He was buried in the graveyard of Christ Church, Kororāreka.Hazard, under Acting Commander David Robertson, operated in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand during the Flagstaff War in 1845. Hazard was in the Bay of Islands on 11 March 1845 when a force of about 600 Māori armed with muskets, double-barrelled guns and tomahawks attacked Kororāreka (as Russell was then known). Royal Marines and sailors from Hazard took part in the fighting ashore aiding a detachment of the 96th Regiment during the Battle of Kororāreka. Robertson was dangerously wounded during the opening engagement. The Hazard lost 6 men killed and 8 wounded. Lieutenant George Phillpotts ordered the bombardment of Kororāreka. In the evening, HM Colonial brig Victoria departed for Auckland with urgent despatches and her share of refugee women and children. Most other refugees of Kororareka sailed for Auckland on 13 March 1845, in the Hazard, English whaler Matilda, schooner Dolphin, and the 21-gun .

On 30 June 1845 a small naval brigade from both HMS Hazard and HMS North Star supported the 58th Regt. and other colonial forces at the Battle of Ohaeawai. The colonial forces were repulsed by Māori warriors with serious losses including Lieutenant George Phillpotts, RN, son of Henry Phillpotts, Bishop of Exeter.

HMS Hazard departed New Zealand at the Bay of Islands for Hong Kong in November 1845.

Brunei
In April 1846 Hazard'' served in a squadron supporting Sir James Brooke (Raja Brooke of the Kingdom of Sarawak) in suppressing insurgency in the Sultanate of Brunei.

Further service
She was reduced to 14 guns in 1848, and was eventually broken up at the yards of J. Samuel White, Cowes by 12 February 1866.

Taylor County Courthouse in Butler, Georgia was built in 1935.  It is a Neoclassical Revival-style building that was designed by Columbus, Georgia architect Frederick Roy Duncan.  Classical elements in the design that are more prominent than usual for courthouses built during the Great Depression include its cupola, pedimented portico and entrances, quoins, and keystones.

The current courthouse replaced the first courthouse of Taylor County which had been built in 1852 on the same site, remaining in use for almost 80 years. The demolition of the first courthouse by convict labor began in 1934.

The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

AMIT (Hebrew acronym for Organization for Volunteers for Israel and Torah, English acronym for Americans for Israel and Torah, and a homonym in Hebrew for  (friend)) is an American Jewish volunteer organization providing Jewish values–based education to 37,000 children in Israel. AMIT operates 108 schools and two surrogate family residences (youth villages).

The AMIT Network was selected by Israel's Ministry of Education as the leading Jewish educational network across all measurements, including quality bagrut, pedagogical innovation, pluralism and bridging the gap, lowest dropout rate and integrity.

AMIT has raised bagrut scores across the reshet (“network”), and it has significantly increased the number of students studying math, physics, science and technology subjects at the highest levels. AMIT graduates maintain a high level of military service or national service (95%), and they enter the army and the workforce equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

AMIT maintains a balance of 70% of its schools in Israel's periphery (disadvantaged areas) and 30% in the more affluent center of Israel. When new schools are admitted to the network, this balance is maintained. On June 14, 2020, they have organized a Virtual Tour of Israel where they have presented the first National Mother-in-Israel.

History

AMIT was founded on May 10, 1925, by Bessie Gotsfeld, and was then known as the Mizrachi Women's Organization of America. It officially incorporated on October 2, 1930. As early as 1934, AMIT was resettling young people from Europe in Mandatory Palestine. By the years immediately following the end of the war in Europe, AMIT participated in the resettlement of thousands of children, many of them orphans, who survived the Holocaust.

The Holocaust survivors were followed by the large influx of Jews from North Africa and the Arab countries in 1948–49, when AMIT dealt with the pressing needs of tens of thousands of newly arrived immigrant children.

In 1981, AMIT was designated by the Israeli government as its official Reshet (network) for religious secondary technological education.

AMIT today
AMIT operates 108 schools, youth villages, surrogate family residences and other programs, constituting Israel's only government-recognized network of religious Jewish education incorporating academic and technological studies. AMIT students boast an 85% (bagrut) matriculation rate, exceeding the national average of 70% among Israeli Jewish students. More than 95% of its graduates enlist in the Israel Defense Forces or perform national service.

List of AMIT schools

Archival materials

The American Jewish Historical Society received a large donation of archival material and photographs related to AMIT and the organization's projects in Israel. The collection was minimally processed over the Summer 2011 and is available for research.

Photographs and materials relating to the Baltimore chapters' history are archived at the Jewish Museum of Maryland and can be viewed through their online collections.

Sphinx is a documentation generator written and used by the Python community. It is written in Python, and also used in other environments.

Purpose and function
Sphinx converts reStructuredText files into HTML websites and other formats including PDF, EPub, Texinfo and man.

reStructuredText is extensible, and Sphinx exploits its extensible nature through a number of extensions – for autogenerating documentation from source code, writing mathematical notation or highlighting source code, etc.

HTML themes
Sphinx provides the ability to apply themes to HTML and HTML-based formats. Sphinx has several built-in themes, including alabaster, classic, sphinxdoc, and scrolls. Popular themes that can be installed as Python modules include:
 Read the Docs
 Sphinx Bootstrap
 Guzzle
 Documatt

History and use
The first public release, version 0.1.61611, was announced on March 21, 2008. It was developed for, and is used extensively by, the Python project for documentation.

Since its introduction in 2008, Sphinx has been adopted by many other important Python projects, including Bazaar, SQLAlchemy, MayaVi, SageMath, SciPy, Django and Pylons. It is also used for the Blender user manual and Python API documentation.

In 2010, Eric Holscher announced the creation of the Read the Docs project as part of an effort to make maintenance of software documentation easier. Read the Docs automates the process of building and uploading Sphinx documentation after every commit.

Linux kernel
The Linux kernel's documentation subsystem underwent changes in 2016. Starting in the 4.7 cycle, the documentation started switching over to use Sphinx.

Johann Christian Ritter (25 July 1755 – 9 September 1810) was a German in the service of the Dutch East India Company who came to South Africa in 1784.  He was the first to print in the Cape, the earliest record is an almanac titled "Almanach voor't jaar 1796".

History
J. C. Ritter was born in 1755 either in Bayreuth or Hof an der Saale, these are cities less than 50 km distant from each other in Germany and may have referred to the same place. He was the Son of the book binder Georg Stephan Ritter and his wife Johanna Dorothea (née Leidenforst). He married Barbara Fuhrmann of Danzig and they had no children and she died after him in 1813-6-9.

He was in the service of the Dutch East India Company when he arrived at the Cape Colony in the later half of 1784 and was appointed by them in 1794 to print government notices, forms and so forth.

In the 10 years before he started to print he bound books, he may have been a book binder by trade when he arrived at the Cape though it may be that he took on this work through familiarity, having been the son of a bookbinder.

He died at the age of 55.

Legacy

It is not certain if he brought the small hand-press with him or if the press only arrived later when he prepared for printing or was appointed to the task.

He undertook to print official forms and handbills as well as almanacs. The surviving (1796) almanac was printed in 1795. As he also printed almanacs for at least the years 1795 and 1797, so he would likely have started his printing in 1794 or before but none of his earlier work has been discovered. His almanac did not bring him any great financial reward, having been used by many to copy out of by hand, notwithstanding some factual errors relating to dates of lunar eclipses. Only one copy of the first leaf is known to exist in the Sir George Grey Collection of the South African Library and this one may be a proof sheet.

Soon after 1797 when the British took occupation of the Cape, permission to print was transferred to Messrs Walker and Robertson who had questionable ties with the briefly serving governor Sir George Yonge even though Ritter and Harry Harwood Smith, a printing contemporary of his, had petitioned for the printing rights.

Ritter's press may also have been used in 1799 by V.A. Schoonberg for printing the first book in South Africa which was also the first printed religious text. It was a translation, into Dutch, of a letter brought to the Cape, and published, by J.T. van der Kemp of the London Missionary Society. It was used to print a military proclamation in 1799 as it was the only available press.

KIHU (1010 AM) is a Catholic radio formatted radio station licensed to Tooele, Utah, United States. The station is owned by Relevant Radio, Inc. The station has a construction permit from the FCC for a power increase to 50,000 watts Daytime, 42,000 watts Critical Hours (within two hours after sunrise or before sunset) and 194 watts night. The facilities authorized by the Construction Permit were built in 2004 and the station was operating under "Program Test Authority" with those facilities.

1010 AM is a Canadian clear-channel frequency.

History
The station was built to operate on 990 kHz with a 1000 watt transmitter in the town of Tooele. It was officially launched on July 3, 1956. The original call letters were KTUT, and were changed to KDYL on February 5, 1960, after that call was released from 1320 AM in Salt Lake City when that station was renamed KCPX.  Simmons paid the then owner, Thomas W. Mathis, to release the KDYL call so that they could use those call letters on 1280 AM in Salt Lake City, whereupon the station was assigned the call letters KTLE, beginning on May 19, 1982. KTLE stood for Tooele, the station's city of license and former location of its transmitter.  In 1982, Mathis applied to change the frequency to 1010 from 990 kHz and increase the power to 50,000 watts Daytime and 2500 watts Critical Hours at the original transmitter site in Tooele. The change in frequency and power increase was finally built by the subsequent owner in 1992.  In 1994, the station applied to move the transmitter to the Salt Lake Valley, at a site that was too close to the Salt Lake International Airport to allow a reasonable tower height (tower was only 142 feet).

On October 30, 1992, the station changed its call sign to KTUR by the then owner, Robert Turley, and on September 18, 1998 to KIQN by the subsequent owner, Intelliquest Media.  Intelliquest went bankrupt in 2003, and Community Wireless purchased the License from the Bankruptcy Trustee. Community Wireless then rebuilt the station at its current transmitter site. On August 1, 2004, the station became KCPW, and on March 20, 2009, the station became KPCW.

In August 2009, the station was assigned the call KIHU, reflecting an ownership change, as it had been sold to IHR Educational Broadcasting. The station now broadcasts Catholic religious programming, which began August 22, 2009. The station flipped to the Relevant Radio branding when IHR Education Broadcasting and Starboard Media Foundation consummated their merger on June 30, 2017.

Tower collapse
On March 18, 2020, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake happened near Magna, Utah, southwest of the station's tower. The earthquake knocked KMRI off the air, after its tower collapsed. Because KIHU used both towers at night to operate directionally, the station will have to file a special temporary authority and likely operate at reduced power until the tower can be rebuilt. KIHU was running on a generator and operating at reduced power following the earthquake.

Front Range Community College (FRCC) is a public community college with three campuses in Colorado, located in Westminster, Longmont, and Fort Collins. It is the largest community college in Colorado and the most popular transfer institution for the University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State University, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and CSU Global.  The average class size at FRCC is around 15 students.

Almost 6,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year colleges in an average year. The college also provides business training and continuing education to more than 5,000 people annually. FRCC recently made Newsweek's list of the top 100 schools in the U.S. for online learning, and the school offers approximately 500 online classes.

FRCC traces its heritage to the founding of the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education in 1967, which in 1968 established the North Campus of the Community College of Denver as its first new creation. In 1983 the North Campus was renamed as Front Range Community College and became an independent institution in 1985. In 1988, the Larimer County Voc-Tech Center was incorporated as the Larimer Campus of FRCC. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

History

From 1968 to 1977, the college was located in facilities at East 62nd Avenue and Downing Street in Denver. In 1977, the college inaugurated a new building on 112th Avenue in Westminster, Colorado. When it opened, the Westminster Campus building was heated with an innovative solar system of over 4000 flat-plate solar thermal panels making it the largest solar-heated educational building in the world. The solar system operated until the solar panels were removed during a major building remodel in 1996, and now the facilities are heated with conventional methods.

During its first decades, the college principally offered career, vocational and technical training, with certificates and two-year associate degrees in many fields, including accounting, architectural technology, automotive repair, business, dental assisting, electronics, healthcare, machine drafting, machining, nursing, and welding. General studies programs in arts, science, and both general and developmental education were also offered. In 1997, FRCC transferred and began offering its machining program at the Rocky Mountain Manufacturing Academy, which was part of the now defunct Higher Education and Advanced Technology (HEAT) Center at the decommissioned Lowry Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado. Today the college offers a mix of general academic and transfer courses as well as career and technical education offerings.

FRCC currently maintains campuses in Fort Collins and Longmont, and centers in Brighton and Loveland, in addition to the original Westminster campus and a highly developed online learning program. The college also operates its Precision Machining Program in the Advanced Technology Center in Longmont.
