The Danish Women's Handball League () is the top professional league for Danish women's handball clubs. It is administered by the Danish Handball Federation, and the winners are recognized as Danish champions. The league is officially called Bambusa Kvindeligaen for sponsorship reasons. It has previously been known as HTH GO Ligaen, Primo Tours Ligaen, Boxer Dameligaen, TOMS Ligaen and GuldBageren Ligaen. The current title holder is Team Esbjerg (2023). The European Handball Federation (EHF) ranks the Danish league 4th in the coefficients of leagues based on performances in European competitions over the past seasons.

Competition format
The Danish Women's Handball League shares the season style with the men's league. It consists of 14 teams, each playing 26 regular season games. The eight best teams of the regular season advance to further games, where they are divided into two groups of four teams each. No. 1 and 2 from the regular season start with 2 points. No. 3 and 4 start with 1 point, while no. 5-8 start with no points. After these six games the two top teams in each group will play semifinals. No. 1 from one group is up against no. 2 from the other. The winners will meet in finals, while the losers will play against each other for the bronze medal. Semifinals, finals, and bronze games are all played in best of 3.

The lowest placed team of the regular season is directly relegated to the second-best division, and replaced by the winner of this. The teams finishing as 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are put in a group where they will play against each other. In the second-best division, the teams that end up 2nd and 3rd will play against each other in best of 3. The winner of those games will get to meet the lowest placed team from the 9-13 group from the top league, yet again in best of 3. The winner will get to play in the top league next season, while the loser plays in the second-best division.

Leake Street (also known as the Banksy Tunnel) is a road tunnel in Lambeth, London where graffiti is legal and promoted despite the fact that it is against UK law on public property. The street is about 300 metres long, runs off York Road and under the platforms and tracks of Waterloo station.

The walls are decorated with graffiti, initially created during the Cans Festival organised by Banksy on 3–5 May 2008. The festival ran again on the August Bank Holiday weekend 2008.

While the Eurostar terminal was at Waterloo, the road was open for through vehicular traffic. On 14 November 2008 ownership of the road passed from Eurostar to Network Rail and through traffic was restricted to pedestrians.

Prior to the 1920s the street was known as York Street.

was a Japanese samurai and nobleman. He can also can be referred to as Kikuchi no Jiro Takanao or Kikuchi Higo-Gon-no-Kami Takanao.

When Kikuchi Takanao sided with Minamoto no Yoritomo and began levying troops in Kyūshū in 1180, at the beginning of the Genpei War, Sadayoshi marched against him and defeated Takanao. Kikuchi Takanao was present at the Battle of Dan-no-ura. Shortly after the battle in the same year, he was turned over to Minamoto Yoshitsune by his lord Ogata no Saburo Koreyoshi. He was taken to the Rokujo riverbed and his head was cut off.

"One of your retainers, Kikuchi no Jiro Takanao, has been my enemy for years ... You may rely on me if you will turn Kikuchi over for execution." -Minamoto no Yoshitsune

was the 10th head of the Kikuchi clan of Higo Province and gained fame for himself and his clan during the defense of Japan during both Mongol invasions of Japan.

Background and family
"Kikuchi Jirō Takefusa" was son of the 9th head of the clan, Kikuchi Takayasu (菊池 隆泰); Jirō (次郎) means "second son". His mother whose name is unknown was from the equally famous Ōtomo clan and a great-granddaughter of Minamoto no Yoritomo through his illegitimate son. Takefusa became head of the clan after his father since his elder brother had died young. His younger brother Aritaka was adopted by their retainers, the Akahoshi clan.

First Mongol Invasion (1274)

During the first Mongol invasion at the Battle of Bun'ei he fought with his younger brother Aritaka and they were both awarded by the Emperor. Takefusa shot a Mongol general in the face with a signed arrow, precipitating the recall of the first Mongol invasion. Bun'ei is really the name of a campaign comprising many battles.

Battle of Akasaka
The Mongols had defeated or annihilated the defenders on the small islands of Tsushima, Iki, Hirato, Taka and Nokono during their island hopping towards the Japanese mainland. Akasaka was the first battle with a real army.

The yuan force had landed on Momochi field, Sawara District and divided into two groups one of which encamped at Akasaka. They were attacked by Kikuchi. j.Takefusa losing about 100 soldiers. The greater group retreated to the hill of Sōhara, and the smaller group to Tukahara field in Befu. The yuan force pitched a camp on Sōhara field which had a hill 30m in height and a great vantage point of the streets of Fukuoka city. The field is now Sōharakōen "Sōhara Park". The stone monument in the center of Sōharakōen marks the remains of yuan soldiers who were killed during the battle. During this battle, Kikuchi Takefusa gained fame for all the heads of the enemy that he collected.

From the diary of one of his commanders, Takezaki Suenaga:

"Thinking that I was the first to battle of all the warriors from Higo, I set off from the Hakata encampment. On my way to Akasaka, after passing the gate (torii) of the Sumiyoshi Shrine, I met a man on a dapple gray horse at Komatsubara. He wore purple armor with a reverse arrowhead design, and a crimson billowing cape (horo) and, having just defeated the invaders in their encampment, was returning with a hundred horsemen. The pirates had fled. Two had been taken. He looked most brave and had two retainers walking before him on his left and right carrying heads - one pierced on a sword, the other on a naginata. "Who passes here looking so brave?" I asked, and he replied, "I am Kikuchi Jirō Takefusa of Higo Province. Who are you?" I am Takezaki Gorō Hyōe Suenaga of the same province. Watch me attack! Saying so I charged."

Second Mongol Invasion (1281)

This was the largest naval invasion in history until D-Day. In the spring of 1281, Kublai Khan sent two separate forces. An impressive force of 900 ships containing 40,000 Yuan troops set out from Masan, Korea, while an even larger force of 100,000 sailed from southern China in 3,500 ships. The Mongols' plan called for an overwhelming coordinated attack by the combined imperial Yuan fleets. The Chinese fleet of the Yuan was delayed by difficulties in provisioning and manning the large number of ships they had.

The Battle of Kōan

The Eastern Route Army arrived at Hakata Bay on June 21, and decided to proceed with the invasion without waiting for the larger Southern force which had still not left China. They were a short distance to the north and east of where their force had landed in 1274, and were in fact beyond the walls and defenses constructed by the Japanese. The samurai responded quickly, assaulting the invaders with waves of defenders, denying them the beachhead.

At night small boats carried small bands of samurai into the Yuan fleet in the bay. Under cover of darkness they boarded enemy ships, killed as many as they could, and withdrew before dawn. This harassing tactic led the Yuan forces to retreat to Tsushima, where they would wait for the Southern Route Army. However, over the course of the next several weeks, 3,000 men were killed in close quarters combat in the hot weather. Yuan forces never gained a beachhead.

The first of the Southern force ships arrived on July 16, and by August 12 the two fleets were ready to attack Japan. On August 15 a major tempest struck the Tsushima Straits, lasting two full days and destroying most of the Yuan fleet. Contemporary Japanese accounts indicate that over 4,000 ships were destroyed in the storm; 80 percent of the Yuan soldiers either drowned or were killed by samurai on the beaches. The loss of ships was so great that "a person could walk across from one point of land to another on a mass of wreckage".

Death and legacy

After the battle Takefusa must have gone home to Kikuchi Castle. He died on March 26, 1285, from an unknown illness only four years after the second invasion. His remains were interred at Kikuchi Shrine. His son and heir Kikuchi Takamori (菊池 隆盛) had died young even before him so his grandson Kikuchi Tokitaka (菊池 時隆, 1287–1304) became 11th head of the clan. Tokitaka also died young in battle so his brother the famous Kikuchi Taketoki (菊池 武時, 1292–1333) became 12th head.

Hayashi Narinaga who was a samurai general during the Sengoku Period was a descendant of Takefusa. Also, Saigō Takamori who is now known as the "last samurai"; The Saigo clan was a branch family of the Kikuchi. Another famous descendant through adoption is the artist and scholar Kikuchi Yōsai.

The Grand Hotel Leicester is a Grade II listed historic hotel on Granby Street in the City centre of Leicester, England.

It was designed by Cecil Ogden and Amos Hall and built between 1897-98 by Orson Wright. The wedding-cake style top on the corner of Grandby Street and Belvoir Street was added by Amos Hall who also designed the Silver Arcade in the Edwardian period.

The Kings Hall with its ornate gilt capped columns, and extravagant use of decorative marble was envisaged by Orson Wright and designed by Amos Hall. Located on the first floor it could cater for 350 people, part was at one time a cinema.

The hotel has always been considered one of Leicester's most prestigious, but arguably its heyday was during Victorian times. The Hotel is in an area designated Heritage Action Zone, allowing the securing of a grant from Historic England in 2022 to return the hotel entrance and frontage shops to their original Victorian appearance.

Today the hotel is rated as 4 star and was operated until recently by Mercure Hotels, a division of the multinational hotel company Accor, as first Mercure Leicester City Hotel and then Mercure Leicester The Grand Hotel.

Richard Sale (4 October 1919 – 3 February 1987) was an English schoolmaster and cricketer who played  for Warwickshire between 1939 and 1947 and for Derbyshire between 1949 and 1954.

Sale was born in Atcham, Shropshire, the son of Richard Sale who had also played cricket for Derbyshire. He was educated at Repton School and Oriel College, Oxford, and played for Oxford University in 1939 opening the batting in the University Match against Cambridge University, which Oxford won. In the same year he made his debut for Warwickshire in a match in which the only play was his opening partnership. The Second World War interrupted his academic and playing career, as he was commissioned in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and served in Canada and Normandy. In 1946 he played again for Oxford University, and again Oxford won the Varsity match. He then finished the season playing for Warwickshire.

Sale then became a master at Repton School, and made his debut for Derbyshire in the 1949 season. Sale with Guy Willatt, and John Eggar formed a trio of Repton masters who played for the county.  He played for them annually during the school holidays until the 1954 season.

Sale was a left-hand batsman who played 115 innings in 66 first-class matches. His highest score was 157 in a match for Warwickshire against an Indian touring side, and his average was 27.31. He only bowled two balls which were in a match against Nottinghamshire in 1952, one of which was hit for four and the other gave him a wicket (c and b).

In 1962 Sale became headmaster of Oswestry School, and four years later he moved to Brentwood School as headmaster. Sale was public school representative on the FA Council and established the Public Schools Football Association of which he was the first chairman. The name was changed to the Independent Schools Football Association in 1986.

Sale died at Beccles, Suffolk aged 68.

Virtuoso No. 4 is an album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass that was recorded in 1973 and released in 1983.

It was re-issued in 1993 on CD with three additional tracks ("Weaselocity", "Blues for Pete", and "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?"). Virtuoso No. 4 differs from the three previous Virtuoso releases in that it is performed on acoustic guitar instead of electric (with the exception of "Indian Summer").

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "The relatively little-known set finds the guitarist sounding very much like a self-sufficient orchestra, and although his tone is necessarily softer on acoustic than electric, he swings hard on the uptempo pieces."

, was a Kugyō (Japanese noble) of the late Heian period. He was the Regional Governor of Dazaifu and is famous for repelling the Jurchen pirates during the Toi invasion in 1019. He reached the court position of Chūnagon.

Early life and background
Takaie was born 979 into the Hokke branch of the powerful Fujiwara clan, the fourth son of Fujiwara no Michitaka. His mother was Takashina no Takako also known as Kō-no-Naishi (高内侍) or Gidō-sanshi no Haha (儀同三司母). His childhood name was Ako (阿古). His uncle was the powerful Fujiwara no Michinaga who represented the highpoint of the Fujiwara clan's control over the government of Japan holding the position of Daijō-daijin. His elder brother was Fujiwara no Korechika who was charged with treason but later pardoned. One of his sisters was the well-known empress consort of Emperor Ichijō, Fujiwara no Teishi.

Career
 989 (Eiso 1, 29th day of the 1st month): Junior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade (従五位下, ju go-i no ge). Also appointed to the Board of Chamberlains (侍従職, Jijū-shoku).
 993 (Shōryaku 4, 10th day of the 3rd month): Middle Captain of the Right Division of Inner Palace Guards (右近衛中将, Ukone-no-chujo).
 994 (Shōryaku 5, 28th day of the 8th month): Junior Third Rank (従三位, ju san-mi), joining the ranks of the Kugyō.
 995 (Chōtoku 1, 6th day of the 4th month): After the death of his father he was appointed Chūnagon (中納言).
 996 (Chōtoku 2, 24th day of the 4th month): His older brother Fujiwara no Korechika was charged with shooting an arrow at Retired Emperor Kazan, and performing an esoteric Shingon ceremony known as Daigensuihō (大元帥法), which was reserved solely for the emperor. Korechika was demoted to Dazai-gon-no-sochi (大宰権帥) and Takaie was demoted to Izumo-Gon-no-kami (出雲権守). This incident became known as Chōtoku no hen (長徳の変). They were pardoned the next year.
 998 (Chōtoku 4, 23rd day of the 10th month): Appointed chief official of the Ministry of War (兵部卿, Hyōbu-kyō).
 1002 (Chōhō 4, 24th day of the 9th month): Appointed Gon-Chūnagon (権中納言).

 1015 (Chōwa 4, 21st day of the 4th month): Senior Second Rank (正二位, shō ni-i). He gradually returned to court society but his position ended with Chūnagon.
 1019 (Kannin 3, 4th month): he had voluntarily asked Emperor Sanjō to go down to Kyūshū to Dazaifu to take up the position of Regional Governor of Dazaifu in order to receive treatment for an eye disease. Takaie successfully led the defense of Dazaifu against the Toi invasion of 1019. A rumor was circulated that the invading Toi (considered a Jurchen tribe) carried smallpox to mainland Japan and it began spreading upon Takaie's arrival in the capital. Takaie requested that his men be given rewards for their military contributions, and in response to his request, rules regarding local governments were discussed among high court officials.
 1019 (Kannin 3, 12th month): He resigned from his post in Dazaifu, which was given to Fujiwara no Yukinari. Takaie returned to the capital.
 1023 (Jian 3, 15th day of the 12th month): He declined the position of Chūnagon (中納言) so his second son, Fujiwara no Tsunesuke was promoted to Sachuben (左中弁) instead.
 1037 (Chōryaku 1, 9th day of the 8th month): He again declined the position of Regional Governor of Dazaifu so it was given to Fujiwara no Sanenari (藤原実成).
 1042 (Chōkyū 3, 29th day of the 1st month): Takaie retired.
 1042 (Chōkyū 3, 29th day of the 1st month): Takaie died at 66 years of age with the ranks of Senior Second Rank (正二位, shō ni-i) and Zen-Chūnagon (前中納言).

The de Havilland T.K.4 was a 1930s British single-seat racing monoplane designed and built by students of the de Havilland Technical School.

Design and development
The T.K.4 was built by students at Stag Lane Aerodrome in 1937 with the aim of building the smallest possible aircraft around the 140 hp (104 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major II. It was a low-wing monoplane with a conventional retractable tailwheel landing gear and had a De Havilland PD30 variable-pitch propeller and was fitted with slots and flaps.
The only T.K.4, registered G-AETK, was first flown on 30 July 1937. It was 9th in the 1937 King's Cup air race at a speed of 230.5 mph. The aircraft crashed on 1 October 1937 killing the pilot R.J. Waight while he was attempting a 100 km class record.

The Central Luzon languages are a group of languages belonging to the Philippine languages. These are predominantly spoken in the western portions of Central Luzon in the Philippines. One of them, Kapampangan, is the major language of the Pampanga-Mount Pinatubo area. However, despite having three to four million speakers, it is threatened by the diaspora of its speakers after the June 1991 eruption of that volcano. Globalization also threatened the language, with the younger generation more on using and speaking Tagalog and English, but promotion and everyday usage boosted the vitality of Kapampangan.

External relationships
Ronald Himes (2012) and Lawrence Reid (2015) suggest that the Northern Mindoro languages may group with the Central Luzon languages. Both branches share the phonological innovation Proto-Austronesian *R > /y/.

Internal classification
The Central Luzon languages are:
Kapampangan
Sambalic
Abellen
Ambala
Bolinao
Botolan
Mag-antsi

The 2000 United States presidential election in Vermont took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Vermont was won by Democratic Vice President Al Gore by 9.93 percentage points over Republican Governor of Texas George W. Bush, while third-party candidate Ralph Nader took nearly 7% of the vote (his second-best showing in the country by percentage). Gore's win in Vermont marked the third consecutive victory for Democrats in the Green Mountain State, cementing the former Republican bastion's powerful shift towards the Democratic Party. This election marked the first time in history that a Republican won the presidency without carrying Vermont, as well as the first time that the Democratic Party carried the state with a majority of the vote for two elections in a row. This also marked the first time that Vermont would vote Democratic in a close presidential election, as well as the only time in history that the state has voted Democratic while neighboring New Hampshire has voted Republican.

As of the 2020 presidential election, this remains the last time that a Republican nominee has received more than 40% of the vote in Vermont, or that the margin of victory was in single digits. It also remains the last presidential election in which a Republican has carried Caledonia, Orange, or Orleans counties, or in fact any county other than bellwether Essex. Bush became the first ever Republican to win the White House without carrying Bennington, Lamoille, Rutland, Washington, or Windsor Counties.

By congressional district
Due to the state's low population, only one congressional district is allocated. This district, called the At-Large district because it covers the entire state, is thus equivalent to the statewide election results.

Central New York Roller Derby (CNYRD) is a women's flat-track roller derby league in Utica, New York. Organized in late 2007, Central New York is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).

History
In September 2009 the league was accepted into the Apprentice Program of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), and in September 2010 they were accepted as a full member league.
As of January 2011 the league had over 70 skaters who skated on three home teams, the Utica Clubbers, the Rome Wreckers, and the Blue Collar Betties. The best of those three home teams competed on the CNY All-Stars travel team, which competes for rankings in the WFTDA. The league has a B level team as well, the Wonder Brawlers, introduced in 2012.

In February 2012, the league's practice facility in Utica, SportsPlx, burned down, destroying much of the league's stored equipment and gear. Community fundraising, including a fashion show hosted at the Hamilton Center for the Arts helped get the organization back on its feet.

Starting in 2015, Central New York has hosted the now-annual Siege of CNY tournament, bringing in teams from as far away as Canada and England.

In probability theory, a balance equation is an equation that describes the probability flux associated with a Markov chain in and out of states or set of states.

Global balance

The global balance equations (also known as full balance equations) are a set of equations that characterize the equilibrium distribution (or any stationary distribution) of a Markov chain, when such a distribution exists.

For a continuous time Markov chain with state space , transition rate from state  to  given by  and equilibrium distribution given by , the global balance equations are given  by

or equivalently

for all . Here  represents the probability flux from state  to state . So the left-hand side represents the total flow from out of state i into states other than i, while the right-hand side represents the total flow out of all states  into state . In general it is computationally intractable to solve this system of equations for most queueing models.

Detailed balance

For a continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) with transition rate matrix , if  can be found such that for every pair of states  and

holds, then by summing over , the global balance equations are satisfied and  is the stationary distribution of the process. If such a solution can be found the resulting equations are usually much easier than directly solving the global balance equations.

A CTMC is reversible if and only if the detailed balance conditions are satisfied for every pair of states  and .

A discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) with transition matrix  and equilibrium distribution  is said to be in detailed balance if for all pairs  and ,

When a solution can be found, as in the case of a CTMC, the computation is usually much quicker than directly solving the global balance equations.

Local balance

In some situations, terms on either side of the global balance equations cancel. The global balance equations can then be partitioned to give a set of local balance equations (also known as partial balance equations, independent balance equations or individual balance equations). These balance equations were first considered by Peter Whittle. The resulting equations are somewhere between detailed balance and global balance equations. Any solution  to the local balance equations is always a solution to the global balance equations (we can recover the global balance equations by summing the relevant local balance equations), but the converse is not always true. Often, constructing local balance equations is equivalent to removing the outer summations in the global balance equations for certain terms.

During the 1980s it was thought local balance was a requirement for a product-form equilibrium distribution, but Gelenbe's G-network model showed this not to be the case.

Tobi is an island in the Palauan state of Hatohobei. With a population of about 30, it holds all of the state's people, with the exception of a weather base on Helen Island. Most of the inhabitants live on the island's west side and speak Tobian. Tobi, Helen Reef (Hotsarihie), Transit Reef (Pieraurou), and the islands in the state of Sonsorol make up the Republic of Palau's Southwest Islands. Tobi Island is 1.6 km long and 0.8 km wide, and has an area of about .

Climate

Tobi Island has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) a United States Navy – United States Air Force command in Hawaii uses "KOBI" as a bearing and distance in determining a tropical storm's track and position.

The Northern Mindoro (North Mangyan) languages are one of two small clusters of languages spoken by the Mangyan people of Mindoro Island in the Philippines.

The languages are Alangan, Iraya, and Tadyawan.

There is some evidence that points at a closer relationship of the Northern Mindoro languages with the Central Luzon languages. Both branches share the phonological innovation Proto-Austronesian *R >  and some common lexical items such as  'to see',  'cold'.

David Henry Sterry is an American author, actor/comic, activist and former sex worker.

Biography

Early life
Sterry's parents were immigrants from Newcastle, England. He grew up in New Jersey; Birmingham, Alabama; Virginia, Minnesota; and Dallas, Texas.  He attended boarding school at Darrow School in New Lebanon, NY, went to Immaculate Heart College in Hollywood for one year, where he also was employed as sex worker.  This became the subject of his first memoir, Chicken: Self-Portrait of a Young Man for Rent. He then transferred to Reed College, where he studied existentialism and poetry, and graduated in 1978.  At 21, was offered a professional soccer contract.

Career
He started in show business as a stand-up comedian and improviser in the San Francisco during the early 1980s. He also began to act in small productions. In 1984, he moved to New York, where he appeared in commercials for McDonald's, AT&T, and Levi's, eventually becoming the spokesman for Publisher's Clearing House. He also performed in many Off-Off Broadway plays. In 1985 he was hired to be the master of ceremonies at Chippendales. Nick de Noia, the creator of the show, was assassinated while Sterry was working for him. This would become the subject of his second memoir, Master of Ceremonies: A True Story of Love, Murder, Roller Skates & Chippendales. He had a role in the film Memoirs of an Invisible Man. He appeared in a pilot for Eddie Murphy's  production company.  It starred Margaret Cho, and was not picked up by ABC. This led to a string of guest starring roles in black sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Sister Sister and Roc.  He became a regular on the HBO/CTW show Encyclopedia, where he played characters ranging from George Washington to Napoleon Bonaparte to Leif Erikson.

He began writing books in 2001, with the publication of Satchel Sez: The World, Wit & Wisdom of Leroy Sawtchel Paige (Random House). His next book, the 2002 memoir, Chicken: Self-Portrait of a Young Man for Rent, details his experiences as a teenage hustler in 1970s Hollywood.

Sterry ran a writing workshop for at-risk teenagers and survivors of the sex industry for the United States Department of Justice in Washington DC in 2005.

He performs in a show titled Sex Worker Literati, which consists of people from the sex industry reading and performing original works. Sterry is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post and NPR

With the publication of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published (Workman, 2010), he co-founded the company The Book Doctors, and developed a show called Pitchapalooza, where writers get one minute to pitch their books ideas to a panel of publishing experts.

The Heterogeneous Aerial Reconnaissance Team (HART)—formerly known as the "Heterogeneous Urban RSTA Team (HURT)"—program was an aerial surveillance project funded by the Information Processing Technology Office (which was merged into the Information Innovation Office) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency with program managers John Bay and Michael Pagels. The purpose of the program was to develop systems that could provide continuous, real-time, three-dimensional surveillance of large urbanized areas, using unmanned aerial vehicles. The project team was led by Northrop Grumman Corporation, and involved several other academic and corporate researchers.

The unique features of the HART program are that it developed systems to "decouple soldiers from flight control"—that is, the UAVs automatically pilot themselves—taking care of flight control, collision prevention, and camera/sensor control automatically. When the drones notice suspicious activity, they notify the person with the HART control panel so that they can monitor the situation. Another feature of HART was to design handheld devices which would display surveillance video to small unit leaders in the field (as opposed to only being available to officers/agents in a control room). A third significant feature is that troops can request surveillance in an area, and a set of drones will automatically come over and take care of it themselves—all the soldiers have to do is ask for it, and then they can forget about it.

The UAVs can be commanded to automatically and intelligently perform a number of tasks, with very little direct control required, such as:

 Area surveillance—patrolling a certain area for unusual activity
 Route recon—e.g. patrolling a road or power line
 Human / vehicle tracking—following a vehicle or person and reporting any suspicious activity

HART was very successful, and demonstrated the following technical capabilities:
 Automated task management—the drones are able to notice suspicious behavior, and figure out the best way to allocate UAVs to deal with the situation, without a human telling them what to do
 Automated flight path and sensor planning—the drones are able to automatically plan flight routes and point/focus/zoom cameras
 Automated airspace deconfliction—even with large numbers of drones flying around, they are able to communicate with each other, and prevent collisions
 Dissemination of raw full motion video (FMV) or stabilized, georegistered, multi-platform mosaics within seconds
 Easy video playback—the humans on the ground can quickly and easily get "instant-replay" features on video (i.e. they can get a live feed or playback stored video
 Responsiveness to commanders, analysts, and frontline troops

According to Northrop Grumman, in addition to its military uses, HART also has numerous applications in homeland security (domestic surveillance) and border patrol.

Video

There are several videos from DARPA's website that give a clear presentation of the capabilities and purpose of HART/HURT systems:
 HURT "Victorville" video—this is the clearest and most informative of the videos.
 HURT "Concept Video"—note how the drones track the people when they notice the "suspicious" behavior of getting into a van ...
 HURT "29 Palms" Video

Larder Lake is a freshwater lake in Timiskaming District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. The lake straddles the incorporated (municipal) townships of Larder Lake and McGarry and geographic McFadden Township. It is part of the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin and is the source of the Larder River.

Nomenclature
The Lake was previously known as Lake Present, but in 1906 was informally renamed by the group of prospectors who later opened Chesterville gold mine.

Geography
Larder lake has two large arms, Southwest Arm and Northeast Arm, and four bays: Fitzpatrick Bay in the southwest; and Dublin Bay, Northwest Bay and Spoon Bay at the northwest. A  long peninsula extends in the middle of the lake from south to north up to the Big Narrows, separating the lake into two parts. The major islands include Big Pete Island, Island CC and Island U.

Larder Lake has five named inflows: Sharp Creek and Benson Creek at the southwest; Pancake Creek to Northwest Bay; Bear Creek to the tip of Northeast Arm; and Milky Creek at the east. The primary outflow is the Larder River, at the southeast, which flows via the Blanche River, Lake Timiskaming and the Ottawa River to the Saint Lawrence River.

The community of Larder Lake (in the eponymous municipal township of Larder Lake) is located on the northwest shore of Spoon Bay, and the communities of Virginiatown and Kearns, both part of municipal McGarry township, are located at the northeast end of Northeast Arm.

Ontario Highway 66 travels in an east-west direction along the north side of the lake, and Ontario Highway 624 travels in a north-south direction along on the west side of the lake.

Economy
There are gold mines around Larder Lake, including Kerr-Addison Mine. The lake has been contaminated by mine tailings. In 1992, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment fined mining company Deak Resources $50,000 due to polluting effluent discharged into the lake. Pollutants included heavy metals and cyanide. In 1994, a study by Environment Canada documented "high concentrates" of nickel, gold, copper, lead and zinc in Larder Lake.

Climate
The lake surface is generally frozen from mid-November to late April; however, the period of safe ice circulation is usually from mid-December to mid-April.

Ottawa has complex systems of both inflectional and derivational morphology. Like other dialects of Ojibwe, Ottawa employs complex combinations of inflectional prefixes and suffixes to indicate grammatical information. Ojibwe word stems are formed with combinations of word roots (sometimes also called initials), and affixes referred to as medials and finals to create basic words to which inflectional prefixes and suffixes are added. Word stems are also combined with other word stems to create compound words.

Innovations in Ottawa morphology contribute to differentiating Ottawa from other dialects of Ojibwe. These differences include: the reanalysis of person prefixes and word stems; the loss of final /-n/ in a number of inflectional suffixes; a distinctive form for the verbal suffix indicating doubt; and a distinctive form for the verbal suffix indicating plurality on intransitive verbs with grammatically inanimate subjects.

The most significant of the morphological innovations that characterize Ottawa is the restructuring of the person prefixes that occur on both nouns and verbs. These prefixes carry significant grammatical information about grammatical person (first, second, or third). The rule of Syncope modifies the pronunciation of the prefixes, by deleting the short vowel in each prefix.

Morphological innovations

Reanalysis of person prefixes and word stems
By deleting many short vowels, vowel syncope has a significant impact on Ottawa morphology. In particular, syncope changes the pronunciation of the three person prefixes that appear on nouns and verbs; these prefixes carry significant grammatical information about grammatical person (first, second, or third). Syncope also increases variability in the pronunciation of noun and verb stems (the basic forms of words). The increased alternations in the pronunciation of words makes the analysis and structure of words more complex. The third person prefix /o-/, which occurs with both nouns and verbs, is completely eliminated. As a result, there is no direct grammatical marker to indicate third-person on inflected forms of nouns or verbs. Further, Ottawa has innovated by creating new forms for the person prefixes, but the new suffixes have the effect of regularizing the pronunciation of words they are added to, particularly those that historically have a short vowel in the first syllable.

The first-, second-, and third-person prefixes have different forms in Ottawa as opposed to non-syncopating dialects. The table below compares the forms of the person prefixes in non-syncopating dialects and in Ottawa, when added to consonant-initial noun or verb stems.

The basic form of a noun or verb word without any inflectional prefixes or suffixes is referred to as the stem. The addition of prefixes and suffixes to noun and verb stems creates variant pronunciations, or allomorphs, of the basic word stems, where in other dialects of Ojibwe these allomorphs do not occur. For example, the singular noun makizin 'shoe' has the following partial paradigm of possessive forms in Ottawa. The word ‘shoe’ has two different forms or allomorphs, one <mkizin> for forms without any personal prefix, and another <makzin> for first- and second-person forms, with the latter also being used for the third-person form, which has no prefix.

The rule of Syncope also has a significant impact on nouns and verbs that begin with a vowel. When added to a noun or verb stem that begins with a vowel, in non-syncopating dialects the consonant /d/ is added to the prefix. In Ottawa the weak vowel of the prefix is deleted.

Reanalysis of existing forms with personal prefixes has led to the creation of new variants of the prefixes. In addition to the two variants n- and nd- of the first-person prefix, new variants ndoo-, ndi- and nda- now occur, with similar forms for the second-person and third-person prefixes. The likely route for the process of creation of the variant ndoo- arises from prefixed forms of Ottawa nouns such as pwaagan ‘pipe,’ corresponding to the form opwaagan in non-syncopating dialects. In the following table, the initial vowel /o-/ of the noun opwaagan ‘pipe’ is deleted in Ottawa because it is in a metrically Weak position, as in (a) in the table below. Before a vowel-initial word in non-syncopating dialects, the first-person prefix takes the form /nid-/, and the initial vowel /o-/ of the noun is lengthened by a regular rule to /oo-/. In Ottawa the prefix has the form /nd-/, and the vowel of the noun is also /oo-/, as in (b) in the table below.

Noun and verb stems that historically began with a short vowel have been reanalyzed as beginning with a consonant. For a noun such as Ottawa pwaagan, ‘pipe,’ which is missing the initial short vowel that occurs in other dialects, the first-person possessive form ndoopwaagan ‘my pipe’ has been reanalyzed as consisting of a prefix ndoo- and the noun stem pwaagan. Uncertainty about the status of the vowel alternations appears to have served as the trigger for the restructuring of word stems, which lessens the need for speakers to learn the abstract patterns underlying the alternations. The general pattern for the reanalysis of noun stems is to take the unprefixed singular stem as the basic form, and add any prefixes to that form; verb stems have undergone the same type of reanalysis. The new variant of the person prefix ndoo- creates a more stable and learnable form of word stems for speakers by decreasing the amount of stem allomorphy that occurs. The new prefix is extended to other words so that an alternative way of saying ‘my shoe’ is ndoo-mkizin; by convention a hyphen is written between the restructured prefixes and the following noun stem. Similar explanations account for the other innovative prefixes.

Deletion of final /-n/ in inflectional suffixes
The consonant /-n/ is deleted when it occurs at the end of some inflectional suffixes. A similar phenomenon with a sequence of word-final consonants is reflected in words such as Ottawa niinwi 'we (exclusive),' which is niinawind in most other dialects of Ojibwe.

The loss of /n/ is not a general phonological phenomenon, in that there are a number of Ottawa suffixes that retain final /n/. For example, the plural suffix for inanimate nouns has as one of its forms /-an/ in all dialects of Ojibwe, including Ottawa, as in jiimaanan 'boats' with plural suffix /-an/ (all dialects).

Dubitative suffix
The verb suffix for the Dubitative Mode, which denotes an event not confirmed by direct experience, is /-dig/ in Ottawa but /-dog/ in all other dialects.

Inanimate intransitive verb suffix
Inanimate intransitive verbs (those with a grammatically inanimate subject) in Ottawa take a suffix for plural subjects /-noon/ where other dialects have /-wan/, e.g. other dialects makadewaawan, Ottawa mkadewaanoon ‘they (inanimate) are black.’ This feature is robustly attested in Ottawa, and also occurs in a number of communities to the north of the Ottawa area.
