Hush is a 2008 British horror film about a young couple on a motorway journey who are drawn into a game of cat and mouse with a truck driver following a near accident. The film is directed by former BBC Radio 1 DJ, Mark Tonderai, and stars William Ash and Christine Bottomley. The film was produced by Warp X, UK Film Council and Film4 who supplied the funding for the film. The film was distributed by Optimum Releasing.

Plot
Zakes (William Ash) and his girlfriend Beth (Christine Bottomley) are travelling along the M1 motorway at night, bickering over the fragility of their strained relationship. While Beth is asleep, a large white truck overtakes Zakes and its tailgate momentarily slides up, revealing a naked woman, bound and bloodied in a cage, screaming for help. He immediately calls 999 but is unable to provide a number plate as it is covered in dirt.

Zakes follows the truck and, when they come to a standstill in a queue of traffic, he gets out and goes to the truck, managing to slide his hand under the tailgate to take a photograph using Beth's mobile phone. It appears to be nothing more than a white blur from the flash but Zakes later suspects it could be a hand. When the traffic starts moving, Zakes is unable to follow the truck, making Beth furious, claiming he never takes responsibility for anything.

They stop at a service station; Beth ends their relationship and tells Zakes she will find her own way home. Back at the car, Zakes sees the truck pull up, and watches a man in a dark hooded jacket go inside. Zakes follows to try and find Beth but she is nowhere to be seen. He alerts two security men about her disappearance but they do not believe him. Zakes later finds Beth's necklace in the car park. Believing she has been taken by the man in the truck, he decides to follow it, but upon returning to his car, finds his tyre has been punctured by a group of rowdy football fans. Zakes steals a car from a woman getting fuel at the station.

Meanwhile, one of the security guards decides to look through the CCTV footage. He sees Beth entering the station by herself and sees that she leaves through the back door with a man in a hooded jacket. Suddenly, he is killed by the other security guard who is revealed to be connected with the kidnappings. Zakes follows the truck to a site that is full of identical white trucks. A police officer arrives and arrests Zakes, believing he is trespassing. Zakes begs the officer to check all of the vehicles before they go. When the officer does, he is killed by the hooded man.

Zakes manages to escape from the police car and flees back to his car. Suddenly, a distraught woman appears claiming she has been kidnapped. He lets her in and drives to a nearby house in order to call for help. The elderly couple living there cautiously invite them in; the bloodied woman offers to call the police but cuts the phone line beforehand, revealing she too is part of the plan. She cuts the power in the house, kills the elderly couple and then attacks Zakes. He wakes up with his hands nailed to the floorboards. When he manages to get free, a fight ensues; Zakes overpowers her and finally kills her by stabbing her in the eye with one of the nails.

Zakes goes back to the truck site and finds Beth chained up in a cage outside. She tells Zakes the keys are with the man who is showering inside. Zakes goes inside and finds several other women locked up and gagged; it is revealed they are being used for human trafficking. Zakes manages to retrieve the keys and returns to Beth to help her escape first, but they hear the man coming and Zakes is forced to flee. A cat-and-mouse game begins when he realises Zakes is hiding on the site somewhere. He calls the woman's phone, which Zakes has on him, and follows the ring to where he is. However, Zakes has left the phone on the seat in an empty truck and is hiding in the forklift nearby. When the man steps into the right spot, Zakes pushes a button and the crane releases a heavy load onto the attacker, killing him.

One year later, at a service station, a man is seen picking out a book titled Traffic a non-fiction novel written by Zakes based on the events that he and Beth experienced. The driver is revealed to be the security guard who killed his partner earlier in the film. He purchases the book, goes out to his truck (a white truck identical to the killers' truck) and drives off.

The Gershom Hyde House was a historic house at 29 Greenwood Street in Newton, Massachusetts, US.  One of the city's oldest houses, this Georgian-style farmhouse, c. 1744, was probably built by Gershom Hyde, one of Newton's early settlers.  It was a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, large central chimney, and clapboard siding.  The rear ell and front porch were later additions.  The house's location was along what was once a major road through the area.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It was designated a City of Newton Local Landmark in 1997.

The house was demolished on or before April 27, 2021, without city approval by developer Ty Gupta, according to Newton, Massachusetts Department of Planning and Development meeting minutes from the May 27, 2021 session. The violation is still under review.

Barton Creek Cave is a natural cave in Belize, known as both an archaeological site and as a tourist destination. It is located in the upper Barton Creek area near San Ignacio in the Cayo District.

Description
Barton Creek Cave is a primarily single-passage resurging stream cave. By 2002 a cave survey had been completed by the Western Belize Regional Cave Project, recording a total of  of passages; dye traces at sinking streams above the cave indicated that there could be a further  of cave passages beyond the terminal sumps. By 2005 the Xibalba Mapping and Exploration Team had extended the survey to .

Archaeology
Extensive looting of artifacts occurred soon after the cave was first reported, but it remains an important site for archaeologists.  Evidence of cave use by the Maya exists on ten ledges within the first kilometer of cave passage. Pottery shards indicate use between the Early Classic (200 to 600 CE) to the Late Classic (600 to 900 CE) periods. The remains of at least 28 humans have been found within the cave.

The New Heart of Wisdom: Profound Teachings from Buddha's Heart (Tharpa Publications 5th. ed., 2012 ) is a commentary to Buddha Shakyamuni's Heart Sutra by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

The Heart Sutra is a well-known Mahāyāna Buddhist Sutra that is very popular among Mahayana Buddhists both for its brevity and depth of meaning. The New Heart of Wisdom contains a translation of the Sutra as well as a word by word commentary.

An understanding of emptiness (Śūnyatā), the ultimate nature of reality, lies at the heart of Buddhist view and practice. The Heart Sutra contains the essence of Buddha's teachings on emptiness and the methods to develop the wisdom that understands this ultimate reality. The New Heart of Wisdom reveals its explicit and implicit meanings and relates them to the five Mahayana paths that lead to full enlightenment. The author also explains how an initial understanding of emptiness can be used in conjunction with the Sutra to overcome both internal and external obstacles to happiness.

Emptiness is not easy to understand but as the author explains:
Through studying, contemplating and meditating on this Sutra we can gain a perfect understanding of the nature of reality; we can overcome hindrances and difficulties in our daily life; and finally we can overcome the obstacles preventing our full awakening, thereby attaining the perfect state of Buddhahood.

David Vennells supports this observation:
Correct instructions and explanations of emptiness are essential; they help us to develop our wisdom gradually and joyfully. Emptiness cannot be understood overnight, it might take us a few years before we begin to get a feel for it, but if we have good instruction and the support of qualified teachers we can experience wonderful results that really transform our life for the better. See Heart of Wisdom by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

The teachings on emptiness such as those explained in Heart of Wisdom also provide an essential basis for the study and practice of Buddhist Tantra, such as generating ourself as the Buddhist female Deity Vajrayogini. An understanding of the interdependence of all phenomena as explained in the book also provides the deepest foundation for developing compassion and empathy according to Buddhism.

The New Heart of Wisdom explains the philosophical implications of emptiness in practical, everyday terms for both the scholar and the lay reader.  In his book Reiki Mastery, David Vennells says:

People and places and all our experiences appear real but in reality they are simply mental projections from within our own mind, just like a dream. This is a huge concept with many implications and opportunities for misunderstanding! Correctly understanding and experiencing this truty is the essence of the Buddhist path to enlightenment. The best way to really develop clear wisdom of what is being suggested here is to read books that deal specifically with this topic, like Heart of Wisdom by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

To realize emptiness, or the nature of reality, it is necessary to realize the lack of inherent existence of persons and phenomena, which is explained in detail in Heart of Wisdom. Author Victor Mansfield explains: Tibetan scholar-monks such as Tenzin Gyatso or Geshe Kelsang Gyatso who teach extensively in the West ... use inherent existence (svabhavasiddhi) interchangeably with such terms as independent existence, intrinsic existence, substantial existence, intrinsic essence, or intrinsic self-nature to mean our most innate, unreflective and pragmatic belief about both subjective and objective phenomena.

Buddha's teachings on emptiness has been mentioned in relationship to quantum physics, although there are important differences that are brought up by Victor Mansfield when comparing Geshe Kelsang's traditional Buddhist approach in The New Heart of Wisdom to Albert Einstein's.

Einstein believed that objects exist independently in two ways. First, they are independent of our knowing or perception... Second, objects are independent of each other... The Tibetan Buddhist monk-scholar, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, echoes these same two forms of independence when he says, "If we are ordinary beings, all objects appear to us to exist inherently. Objects seem to be independent of our mind and independent of other phenomena." Although Einstein speaks for Western classical science and Geshe Gyatso speaks for an ancient Buddhist tradition, at a fundamental level they are addressing the same point. (Though of course they are arguing for opposite positions.)

The New Heart of Wisdom is used as an integral part of the New Kadampa Tradition's Foundation Program with tens of thousands of students worldwide, described by Steven Heine in Buddhism in the Modern World: Adaptations of an Ancient Tradition:

The Foundation Program is meant for serious students who want a guided study at a deeper level than they can get through the series of Lamrim talks, usually all pitched to a beginner's capacity, that normally constitute the fare of Western Dharma centers.

It is also an integral part of the New Kadampa Tradition's Teacher Training Program, a rigorous "multilayered educational" study program of Buddha's teachings of Sutra and Tantra presented in accordance with the tradition of the Tibetan master Je Tsongkhapa (AD 1357-1419), designed for those training as Buddhist teachers.

The Lasell Neighborhood Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Woodland, Studio Roads, Aspen, Seminary Avenue, and Grove Street in Newton, Massachusetts - a village of Auburndale, Massachusetts.  The area includes high-quality late - 19th and early - 20th century housing built in the area and includes buildings on the campus of Lasell University, established as the Auburndale Female Seminary in 1851. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Description and history
Auburndale was a remote farming area in the early 19th century. Its land was first divided by European settlers in the 17th century. Worcester Turnpike (Massachusetts Route 9) was built to its south in 1809.  The Boston and Worcester Railroad was built through the area in the 1840s, with a station in Auburndale opening in 1851 - eventually becoming a spurring development. The area grew as a railroad commuter suburb in the second half of 19th century, and saw further development pressure in the 1890s when Commonwealth Avenue was extended to Newton's western edge.

The Lasell neighborhood is located south of the railroad right of way. A number of high quality Second Empire and Italianate houses survive from its early period of development. Notable among them include the 195 Woodland Road (1875), 222 Grove Street (c. 1875), and 176 Grove (c. 1862). The latter is a particularly fine example of the more formal Second Empire, with an ornate entrance and a bellcast mansard roof broken by a mansarded gable. One of the city's finest Ruskinian Gothic houses is the large Winslow-Haskell Mansion at 53 Vista Avenue (1870, now condominiums). There is a fine example of Italianate architecture at 62 Vista Avenue, built in c. 1879.

Some of the district's buildings are part of the Lasell University campus, and there are a significant number of fine Colonial Revival houses in the district.

The historic district was created in response to the college's moves to expand and upgrade its presence. Even after the creation of the historic district, neighbors have objected to new buildings and facilities including a campus-based retirement community.

The Monadnock Road Historic District is a residential historic district encompassing a cohesive subdivision of a former estate in the 1920s in the Chestnut Hill section of Newton, Massachusetts.  The development was typical of Newton's explosive residential growth at that time, and includes primarily Tudor Revival houses.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Description and history
Monadnock Road is located on the west side of Chestnut Hill, beginning at its southern end on Beacon Street, just west of the Boston College campus, and winding roughly northwest to an endpoint at Hobart Road, just south of Commonwealth Avenue.  Commonwealth Avenue was completed in 1895, opening an area composed of large estates to development.  Its construction was promoted by the Newton Boulevard Syndicate, a group that included local property owners, among them Robert Bishop, who owned the land in the western portion of this district.  The eastern half the district was laid out in the 1924 subdivision of the estate of Louis Liggett, a drug store magnate.  Monadnock Road and the adjacent streets were first identified in a subdivision plan created by Olmsted, Olmsted and Eliot for the syndicate in 1895, but development in that area did not begin until the 1910s and 1920s.

The district includes 63 houses, primarily on Monadnock Road, but also include properties on Tudor Road, Hammond Street, Hammondswood Road, Wachusetts Road, and Hobart Street.  The most common architectural style in the district is the Tudor Revival, although the Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles are also represented.  The houses are generally large, well-proportioned, and of high quality. The district abuts the Gray Cliff Historic District, which was developed earlier on Robert Bishop's estate.

The Samsung SGH-F480, marketed and branded as Tocco in many English-spoken countries or as Player Style in France, is a touchscreen mobile phone announced in February 2008 and released in May 2008 by Samsung Mobile. Taking design cues from its Armani-branded P520, the Tocco was Samsung's third touchscreen mobile phone and was the first to come with the TouchWiz user interface. It came in three colours: black, pink, and gold.

In Asian markets it was sold under model number SGH-F488. In the U.S. the Samsung T919 Behold was sold which is mostly the same but has a 3.0-inch display, an accelerometer, and GPS support.

Features
The devices uses a  haptic TFT touch screen that can render 256,000 colors. Software-wise it uses Samsung's proprietary "TouchWiz UI" which was made as the replacement of the previous "Croix UI" that appeared on phones such as the F700. The device has a slimline and compact hardware design with a metallic back and sides. Compared to the F490 introduced at the same time, the F480 lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and is smaller in size.

The phone operates on the GSM and EDGE standards at 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz bands. The F480 supports 3G HSDPA data at 7.2 megabits per second on the 2100 MHz band. It offers a WAP 2.0-compliant web browser, and uses MIDP 2.0 as its Java support platform. This allows installing the Opera Mini browser, which is more up-to-date and advanced than the native browser. The latter is still good for quick access to the mobile Internet.

The phone features a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, auto-focus, face recognition, smile mode, 4× digital zoom, and video recording capability. It allows users to edit photos and videos, and add effects to photos. The device also contains music-recognition software.  With up-to-date firmware, it can support 16-gigabyte microSD cards. Bluetooth support is included.

The F480 uses a 1,000 mAh lithium-ion battery that provides up to three hours of talk time or 250 hours of standby time.

Reception
The F480 Tocco was a considerable success for Samsung. Samsung claimed that the F480 Tocco was the best-selling contract mobile phone in the UK in the second quarter of 2008.

A slightly improved version called SGH-F480i was introduced in February 2009. Other devices would also be launched extending the Tocco name: the full-touch budget Samsung S5230 ("Tocco Lite" or "Star") and the sliding touch Samsung S8300 ("Tocco Ultra" or "UltraTOUCH").

The Morton Road Historic District encompasses an example of a small residential subdivision in Newton, Massachusetts that was attractively designed in 1915.  The architect-designed subdivision filled in an area otherwise surrounded by roads that had been developed earlier, and was built out between 1915 and 1928, with a fairly uniform use of Craftsman and Tudor Revival styling.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Description and history
Morton Road is a short L-shaped roadway in a quiet residential area just north of Commonwealth Avenue in central Newton.  It joins Morton Street on the east with Royce Road on the north.  The district includes six contributing houses that are either Tudor or Craftsman in their styling, giving a cohesive appearance to the area. The other two, a Colonial Revival house at 12 Morton Road, and a Four Square at 20 Morton Road, are smaller than the other houses, and are not jarring intrusions to this cohesion.

The district is a good example of a small residential subdivision, executed in the early decades of the 20th century.  In the late 19th century the entire area was part of a proposed park, which had Bulloughs Pond (located a short way to the west) as its centerpiece.  Cost and other factors resulted in the abandonment of this proposal, and the area only slowly developed residentially until the mid-1910s.  Morton Road was developed in 1915, with plans developed by Gilbert Miles Ramsey, an architect about whom little is known.  Ramsey is credited with designing two of the houses, with Dow, Harlow & Kimball also designing two.  John V. Pearn designed one, and Harold Ramsay (no known relation to Ramsey) also designed one.  Ramsay was one of Newton's most prolific architects of the first half of the 20th century, and lived nearby.

Mount Pleasant is a historic two-story wood frame estate house in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, built circa 1856.  It is a well-preserved example of the academic Italianate style of architecture, with a three-bay facade and hip roof with a small gable over the centered entry, and a three-story turret. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

The Mount Pleasant house was built for Roswell Turner, a major land owner and real estate developer in the Newton Centre area.  The house and surrounding property were owned for many of the later years of the 19th century and early years of the 20th century by Charles S. Davis, another major force in the development of Newton Centre.  Under Davis's ownership, much of the original estate was split off for other houses and streets to be built, while the original Mount Pleasant house remained.  By 1917, Mr. Addison C. Burnham owned the house and was calling his smaller property "Jolly's Hollow". Subsequent owners continued to call it "Jolly's Hollow", at least into 2018.

In January 1997, the Wilson family, owners of Jolly's Hollow/Mount Pleasant, donated 0.5 acres of the wooded portion of their property to the City of Newton for the creation of the Wilson Conservation Area.  In 2012, the Wilsons donated to the Newton Conservators a conservation restriction to preserve an additional 1.5 acres of their land.  This conservation land, as intended, adds a link to a popular walking trail that connects a playground, elementary school, and park nearby, and also to suburbs to the west. The walking trail is on top of the underground Cochituate and Sudbury Aqueducts (built in 1848 and 1878, respectively, to supply water to Boston and nearby municipalities).  The Mount Pleasant house happens to be situated right between the two aqueducts, which both have easements under the Jolly's Hollow property.

The Wilsons sold the house and property in July 2018 to the Fiete family, having originally purchased it from the Scribner family in March 1966.

Totleben ( ) is a village in Pordim Municipality, in the Pleven region of Bulgaria, situated in the Danube valley, on the left bank of the river Osam.

Geography
Totleben is located  northeast of the city of Pleven, next to the E83 highway Sofia-Pleven-Ruse. The village is situated on a small creek that leads back to the land of Slavyanovo. Rich springs is his area. There are south-east - an important prerequisite for life, because this region is characterized by strong westerly winds. Totleben village and its lands are located in the basin of the river Osam. The terrain is flat, with fertile black soil.

History
The village is named after the famous Baltic German Russian military engineer general Eduard I. Totleben.

Favourable living conditions have attracted the attention of people from ancient times to testify that found the remains of dwellings, vessels, coins, other objects and building materials. It is assumed that they remained in villages, probably since the Thracian and Roman times.  from the village there are remains of another village, where they found buildings with a balance of buildings and appliances, and pipes and residue drainage. This settlement was probably from the time of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. Most findings suggest that this settlement was a fairly advanced culture. At the end of the 17th century the village had about 500 houses. This can be judged that all the places where buildings have been found contain remains of houses from that time. In the legends we may consider that it was one of the largest villages in this region. The people lived in dugouts, houses covered with straw yards that were surrounded by deep ditches. At the end of the 17th century during wars involving Turkey with its neighbors, plague appeared. The plague spread rapidly and caused a large portion of the population to leave the village, seeking salvation from the terrible disease. The plague was so large in scale that at the beginning of the epidemic people burned their dead families in the dugouts, and then only the trees that held the doors were buried with the inhabitants under the rubble of the houses. The village was completely depopulated. For 12 years the village did not have a single inhabitant. After 12 years people began to return to their home areas. In the early 18th century there were between 15 and 17 houses in the village. Families then consisted of 50-60 people. The village was attacked several times by the hordes of Kardzhali, but was saved through ransom. By eradicating the population again kardzhaliystvoto returned to the old places. New settlers began to food in, increasing the number of inhabitants. The first craftsman who grew up in the village is ancestor of today Boyadjievs - Ivancho grandfather who teaches craft in Lovech, dyed yarn spread in all villages of the region all the way to the town of Nikopol.

Reportedly Vasil Levski repeatedly visited and stayed at home in the village of Ivancho "Bojadjiata" (Ivancho the Painter).

In 1870 Vasil Levski established a revolutionary committee in the village.

In 1939 in the village Totleben the beginning of a cooperative movement in Bulgaria was established, founding the first agricultural cooperative in Bulgaria - Labor cooperative farms (farms) "Rise". In September 2009 in the village Totleben marked the 70th anniversary of its founding.

Education and culture

In 1903 a Library/Cultural club - Chitalishte "Probuda"(Revival) in Totleben village was established by 19 citizens of the village (Founder Ivan D. Tanchev - chairman, Grigor Ivanov Boyadjiev - Vice-Chairman, Varbi Georgiev - clerk). In 1932 the Minister of Education Konstantin Muraviev visited Totleben. In [1940] poets Kalina Malina and Elissaveta Bagryana visited Totleben village and read their poems in the hall of the old Library/Cultural club  "Probuda", located at the place of the home for children and adolescents at school "St.St. Cyril and Methodius". The new building of the library is built and opened in 1958 (President Mladen Antonov, Mayor K. Blazhev). In 1962 the writer Nikolay Haytov visited the village with the Pleven Theatre, which then played the first produced in Bulgaria piece of the writer. In the 1960s and 1970s the Library/Cultural club - Chitalishte "Probuda" has been visited repeatedly with their performances Pleven Theatre, magician Fakira Miti and many others. To the library/Cultural club "Probuda" was established and operates an extensive library.

The Primary School "St. Cyril and Methodius". In 1959 a Social Home for Children and Teenagers to the School was established. It was the first similar social home in the Pleven region.

In 1962 the first in Bulgaria Primary Logopedic School (Speech therapy School) with Boarding houses was established. It was opened until 2002. Now it is only a Social Home for children deprived of parental care. From 2006 the Foundation "Mladen and Maria Antonovi" is working for reviving of the former Logopedic School.

In 1961 the Minister of Education Nacho Papazov visited the Home for Children and Adolescents in Totleben. In 1987 the Minister of Education Prof. Ilcho Dimitrov visited Totleben. In 2010 the Minister of Education, Youth and Science Prof. Sergei Ignatov visited Totleben and Home for children deprived of parental care "Mladen Antonov".

Base

Built and opened in 1980 the main building of the Primary Speech Therapy (Logopedic) Boarding-School is one of the last built school buildings in the country. Its campus is a modern base – school complex with a specialized Logopedic children garden, two boarding-schools, and one-floor building for the elementary classes and the main three-floor-building of the former Logopedic Boarding-School. The Boarding-School sat in a wide, cozy building, built in an ecologically clear area with excellent communication with the main town Pleven and with the other centers in the region. The Primary Logopedic Boarding-School has an excellent base with cabinets for individual language therapy as well as geography, biology, chemistry, physics, foreign languages laboratories, imitative fine arts, cinema and sports hall, a rich library, mechanical and woodtuming workshops.

Social activities

In 1960 the first in the Pleven region Social Home for children and teenagers was established to the Primary School "St.St. Cyril and Methodius".

In 1962 the Primary Logopedic Boarding-School in Totleben village was established. This Hall is also to Logopedic school in Totleben village. The two boarding houses to it in the building of the local municipal council, and built galleys and pensions. In the 1980s, around 500 children with speech problems of the whole country and from poor and large families in the county are placed in three boarding and training in two schools in the village.
The successor of the Logopedic boarding school is the Home for children deprived of parental care (DDLRG) Mladen Antonov for children 3 to 18 years. The Social Home for children deprived of parental care is named after its founder Mladen Antonov (1929–1985), where about 120 children aged from 3 to 18 are being placed by the social legislation from Pleven region.

On 10 December 2012 the renovated Home for children deprived of parental care "Mladen Antonov" in the village Totleben was opened. The Home was renovated under the project funded by the Operational Programme "Rural Development from 2007 to 2013" State Fund "Agriculture", Measure 321 "Basic services for the economy and rural areas."

Cooperative movement

In 1939 the citizens of the village established the first Bulgarian agriculture cooperation "Vazhod" (Progress). First president of the agricultural cooperative is the agronomist Pantaley Angelov Konstantinov (25/06/1903 at Totleben - died after 1983).In September 2009 in Totleben village the 70th anniversary of the first Bulgarian agriculture cooperation "Vazhod" was celebrated.

The dynamic lot-size model in inventory theory, is a generalization of the economic order quantity model that takes into account that demand for the product varies over time. The model was introduced by Harvey M. Wagner and Thomson M. Whitin in 1958.

Problem setup
We have available a forecast of product demand
 over a relevant time horizon t=1,2,...,N (for example we might know how many widgets will be needed each week for the next 52 weeks).  There is a setup cost  incurred for each order and there is an inventory holding cost  per item per period ( and  can also vary with time if desired). The problem is how many units  to order now to minimize the sum of setup cost and inventory cost. Let us denote inventory:

The functional equation representing minimal cost policy is:

Where H() is the Heaviside step function. Wagner and Whitin proved the following four theorems:

 There exists an optimal program such that I=0; ∀t
 There exists an optimal program such that ∀t: either =0 or  for some k (t≤k≤N)
 There exists an optimal program such that if  is satisfied by some , t**<t*, then , t=t**+1,...,t*-1, is also satisfied by
  Given that I = 0 for period t, it is optimal to consider periods 1 through t - 1 by themselves

Planning Horizon Theorem

The precedent theorems are used in the proof of the Planning Horizon Theorem. Let

denote the minimal cost program for periods 1 to t. If at period t* the minimum in F(t) occurs for j = t** ≤ t*, then in periods t > t* it is sufficient to consider only t** ≤ j ≤ t. In particular, if t* = t**, then it is sufficient to consider programs such that  > 0.

The algorithm

Wagner and Whitin gave an algorithm for finding the optimal solution by dynamic programming. Start with t*=1:

  Consider the policies of ordering at period t**, t** = 1, 2, ... , t*, and filling demands  , t = t**, t** + 1, ... , t*, by this order
 Add H()+ to the costs of acting optimally for periods 1 to t**-1 determined in the previous iteration of the algorithm
 From these t* alternatives, select the minimum cost policy for periods 1 through t*
 Proceed to period t*+1 (or stop if t*=N)

Because this method was perceived by some as too complex, a number of authors also developed approximate heuristics (e.g., the Silver-Meal heuristic) for the problem.

Mount Righteous is a band from Grapevine, Texas. They play a vibrant and eclectic indie-pop with a heavy emphasis on varied instrumentation. Their sound has been described as an acoustic-punk marching band and compared to other large collectives including I'm From Barcelona, Architecture In Helsinki, and fellow North Texas-based band The Polyphonic Spree.

History
Their debut album, When The Music Starts, was released in 2008. Mount Righteous toured throughout the United States in support of the release of this album. The band released a five-song EP entitled Open Your Mouth on September 25, 2009. In January 2010, they recorded their sophomore release with producer John Congleton, who has worked with acts such as St. Vincent, Polyphonic Spree, and his own band The Paper Chase. Mount Righteous performed multiple sets at the 2009 and 2010 South by Southwest music festivals in Austin, Texas, including a set on the Lamar Boulevard Bridge which was attended by celebrity fan Bill Murray. Their debut album When the Music Starts was awarded the 'Big Album' trophy at the 2009 Big Thing Awards, hosted by Quick, a Dallas alternative weekly. Their eponymous second album was released on April 3, 2010, at Good Records in Dallas, and has been described as being more explosive and aggressive than their debut. In July 2010 the group was awarded a Dallas Observer Music Award in the category 'Best Experimental/Avant Garde Group'.

The bridge was built in 1875, when Needham Street was laid out, connecting Newton Centre, Newton Highlands, and Needham center.  It was designed and built by Hiram Blaisdell and William Wheeler, then in the early stages of a successful civil engineering career.  The bridge is one of the finest surviving stone arch bridges in the Boston area.  The bridge is distinctive among those that do survive as not having been widened.

The bridge has three spans, with a total length of  and a roadway width of ; there are  of wing walls along the river banks.  Each span is a semi-elliptical arch spanning .  It is one of Newton's oldest bridges.

George F. Baker High School is the public secondary school educating students in grades 6 through 12 in the Tuxedo Union Free School District. It is located on NY 17 in Tuxedo, New York, United States, near the gates of the village Tuxedo Park.

It educates students from the town of Tuxedo and the village of Tuxedo Park.  Northern parts of Tuxedo however send their students to Monroe Woodbury.  Greenwood Lake had sent their students to George F. Baker for nearly 30 years with that agreement ending around 2015 leaving Tuxedo with a difficult decision to keep the school open or tuition its students to surrounding towns.  Greenwood Lake left largely due to the cost per student at Tuxedo v. lower bids to do the same from Warwick, Goshen and Chester. This led enrollment to drop by over 200 students leaving the full school around 80 students.  It also created a $2.5M shortfall in an operating budget without the Greenwood Lake tuition.   At the end Greenwood Lake provided all options other than Tuxedo to their residents and Tuxedo decided to keep the school open despite lower enrollment as it was determined that they would only save between 6-12% by tuitioning students to other schools including Suffern, Ramsey or Northern Highlands.

Also in 2015, the school's principal and superintendent resigned their positions.

The school itself was a gift to the town by Tuxedo Park resident George Fisher Baker, an American banker and philanthropist.  The school was built in 1931.  Baker was known as the "American Dean of Banking" and was a cofounder of the First National Bank of the City of New York, which was the forerunner of today's Citibank N.A.. By the time of his death, Mr. Baker had amassed such a fortune in banking and railroads that he was estimated to be the third richest man in the United States, after Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. The George F. Baker High School building is modeled after the Harvard Business School's Baker Library and putting the buildings side by side gives a remarkable resemblance.   Baker provided much of the initial funding for Harvard Business School with a 1924 grant of $5 million, for which Harvard gave him an honorary doctorate and named the library after him. The high school imposed a demanding all-Regents curriculum on students before the New York State Education Department began requiring it.

While the school was built in 1931, it was not a typical public high school with large classrooms with extra tall ceilings, marble, granite and ornate decorations in the main auditorium and details such as chair rails in classrooms.  The building has stood the test of time and is beautiful in detail inside and out.

Hot Rod Girls Save the World is a 2008 B-movie written and directed by D.A. Sebasstian.

Plot
Newspaper reporter Vanessa Trojan (Lindsay Calkins) is sent to "Anywhere, Washington," to do a feature on two female racing legends. When the women, Jo Leene Dodge (Melene Marie Brown) and Betty Petty (Kimberly Lynn Layfield), take her to a rockabilly house party, a glowing light appears in the night sky and people begin to feel ill. The party ends with a huge fight between Jo Leene and her jealous rival Vikki Lee. The next morning Vicki Lee has disappeared, leaving only a few severed fingers on the seat of her car. Jo Leene is accused of her murder. But when more people turn up missing or dead, Anywhere's only detective, Detective Lloyd (Jimmi Davies), realizes that this is much bigger than a simple murder case.

Cast
 Lindsay Calkins as  Vanessa Trojan
 Kimberly Lynn Layfield as  Betty Petty (Layfield, in real life, was murdered in the 2012 Seattle cafe shooting spree)
 Melene Marie Brown as Jo Leene Dodge
 Jimmi Davies as Detective Lloyd

 J. Maki as Nell Petty-Tucker
 Michael Ditmore as Funkendaa
 Fanovitch Sebasstian as Naginmaa

 Denise Ure as Patty

Production
Made on a small budget, the film features hot rods, aliens and zombies.  The cast includes newcomers Lindsay Calkins, Kimberly Lynn Layfield, Jimmi Davies, J Maki, David Nance,  Michael Ditmore, Shawn Shelton, Chris Darland, Ryan Keezer and Melene Marie Brown, with an original soundtrack by KsK (Kill Switch...Klick).

Release
The film premiered at the 911 Media Arts Center in Seattle, WA. on November 15, 2008 to a sold out crowd. The first Festival Premiere was at the Backseat Film Festival March 6, 2009, in Philadelphia, PA. and was selected for the First Annual Hot Rod Monsters Film Festival in Seattle, Washington. A "First Edition" DVD release was made available on December 11, 2008.  KsK (Kill Switch...Klick) has released a soundtrack album of their work in the film on Go-Kustom Rekords. This is the original soundtrack music written for the film, not the incidental music that includes music by The Invisible Surfers, The Dirty Birds, Faith & Disease, Super Amanda, Billy Dwayne & The Creepers, The Mercury 4, Heather Hexx & The Hellions  and With Eease. Hot Rod Girls Save The World was licensed by IndieFlix.com and released via their online distribution network on August 18, 2009.

Reception
Most reviews have been favorable with Paul Parcellin of Film Threat noting that the musical sequences have high production values and seem designed to stand alone as music videos. Though complimentary of the film, he further notes that "...the occasional use of unnecessary graphical element here and there – washed out color, frames rendered in high contrast so that the scene looks like a cartoon – that distract from the story rather than tell it", but granted "To be fair, this is a movie made by musicians who are admittedly taking a stab at filmmaking for the first time. You’ve got to admire their tenacity in getting the thing done." Film Threats overall rating of the film was a 3.5 out of 5 stars or a "Great" rating.  Allan Mayes of Ol' Skool Rodz magazine gave a mixed review: "The acting in HRGSTW is bad, but we think that may be on purpose. The soundtrack, from KsK is good and the movie flows right along. We’d suggest watching it with friends rather than alone, because you’re going to want to laugh and comment on it. And it’s a hot rod movie. When's the last time we had one of those?" and Daniel Strohl of Hemmings eWeekly concurred when he wrote "if you intend to watch Hot Rod Girls Save the World, don’t expect your typical film viewing experience". Blue Suede News found that Jimmie Davies did a credible job as Detective Lloyd and opined that they enjoyed the work of Melene Marie Brown and Kimberly Lynn Layfield, but felt the film could have benefited from tighter editing, as 122 minutes was "a bit longish".

The Unha or Eunha (, "Galaxy") was a North Korean expendable carrier rocket, which partially utilizes the same delivery system as the Taepodong-2 orbital launch system.

History
North Korea's first orbital space launch attempt occurred on August 31, 1998, and was unsuccessful. This launch attempt was performed by a Paektusan-1 rocket, which used a solid motor third stage, a Scud-missile-based second stage, and a Nodong-1 based first stage. Nodong-1 was a North Korean-developed stage thought to be a scale-up of the old Soviet Scud missile. The Paektusan-1 stood  tall, was  in diameter, and weighed about 21 tonnes.

Vehicle description

The Unha's first stage consists of four clustered Nodong motors, which themselves are enlarged Scud motors. The second stage was initially thought to be based on the SS-N-6, although it, too, is now believed to be based on Scud technology. The third and last stage might be identical to the Iranian Safir's second stage which is propelled by two small gimballed motors.

Recent satellite images of the Sohae Satellite Launching Station showing an enlarged launch tower under construction indicate that an enlarged version, called Unha-X, might be under development, coupled with a North Korean propaganda poster showing such a vehicle.

Launch history
On 24 February 2009, North Korea announced that a Unha rocket would be used to launch the Kwangmyŏngsŏng-2 satellite. According to the South Korean government, the launch took place on 5 April from the Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground in Hwadae county. Several countries, including South Korea, the U.S., and Japan, voiced concerns that the launch would violate United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718 which prohibits North Korea from testing ballistic missiles. Russia also announced they urged North Korea to refrain from its planned rocket launch.

On April 5, 2009, the Unha-2 rocket was launched at around 02:30 hours UTC (11:30 hours KST). The U.S. Northern Command said that the first stage of the rocket fell into the Sea of Japan (East Sea of Korea), while the other rocket stages as well as the payload fell into the Pacific Ocean, and no object entered orbit. Later analysis indicated the rocket impacted  from the launch site, and that the second stage operated normally but the rocket's third stage failed to separate properly. North Korea maintains that the rocket successfully put its payload in orbit.

On December 12, 2012, the Unha-3 Unit-2 rocket was launched at 00:49 UTC (7:49 EST). The U.S. Northern Command said that the first stage of the rocket fell into the Yellow Sea, while the debris of the second stage was assessed to have fallen into the Philippine Sea and confirmed that the satellite had entered orbit.

The Newton Highlands Historic District encompasses the historic heart of the village of Newton Highlands in Newton, Massachusetts.  When it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, the district extended along Lincoln Street from Woodward to Hartford Streets, and included blocks of Bowdoin, Erie and Hartford Streets south of Lincoln Street.  The district was enlarged in 1990 to include the cluster of commercial buildings on Lincoln Street between Hartford and Walnut Streets.

The original district was predominantly residential in character, with most of the housing stock built between c. 1874 and 1911.  The most common architectural styles found are Queen Anne and Colonial Revival.  Development of the area was spurred by improvements in railroad service to the area spurred by town selectman (and later the city's first mayor) James F. C. Hyde.  The district also includes the 1895 Romanesque Hyde School, named in his honor.  The cluster of commercial buildings along Lincoln and Walnut Street which were added to the district in 1990 were also built in this time frame.  Distinctive among these commercial buildings is the automotive garage at 1151 Walnut Street, built in 1928, which is the only surviving building of that type in the area.

Other civic buildings in the district include the Newton Highlands branch of the Newton Free Library, an 1886 Queen Anne construction, and two churches: the Methodist Episcopal Church, built in 1893 in the Shingle style, and the Newton Highlands Congregational Church, a Gothic Revival structure built in 1906.

George Campbell Lindsay (3 January 1863 – 5 April 1905) was a Scotland international rugby union player.

Rugby Union career

Amateur career

He played for Fettesian-Lorettonians, Oxford University and London Scottish.

International career

The South Wales Echo of 6 January 1886 reported the comments of Scotch Haggis when reviewing Lindsay's selection in the Scotland side to face Wales at Cardiff in January 1886:
G. C. Lindsay is much thought of by the F.L's, but beyond that charmed circle there is great diversity of opinion as to his merits as a player. He is certainly not a consistent player, and another thing I have against him is he does not play a good losing game. Against the West of Scotland he was a dreadful frost, and those who prophesied a place for him in the National team were laughed at. But, much as I was disappointed with the Oxonian's play at Partick, I could not forget the broad glaring fact that Lindsay in England, and also against Edinburgh University, had accomplished great deeds, and it was these great deeds the union officials had to consider. Had there been a better half in Scotland, I would have left Lindsay out in the cold, but as he is in advance of all the men we have, the union had no alternative but to give him a place, and I really believe they have acted wisely in the matter.

Lindsay holds the record for the most number of tries by one player in a Six Nations match having scored 5 tries against Wales in the 1887 tournament (then the Home Championship). Scotland went on to win the championship that season.

Lindsay played in four international competitions in total between 1884 and 1887. His second appearance, against Ireland in 1885, was in an abandoned game, but he did not represent his country in the replay.

Family

His father was Thomas Steven Lindsay (1832-1897) and his mother Margaret Gemmell Sawers (1827-1907). He was one of their 5 children.

Death

His death was reported in the Morning Post of 6 April 1905:

DEATH OF MR. G. C. LINDSAY. Mr. George Campbell Lindsay, the old Oxford captain and Scottish International three-quarter back, died on Thursday evening after a brief illness at his mother's residence in Hampstead. He was in his forty third year. Mr. Lindsay's great playing days were in the Eighties. He got his blue his first year, when be went up Oxford from Loretto, and in February 1833 he was a member Harry Vassall's ever-famous Oxford fifteen; two seasons later succeeded to the captaincy and afterwards be got into the Scottish fifteen. Lindsay possessed great pace, and had a beautiful drop kick, "one of the best we ever had" to quote the late Dr. Almond, of Loretto. Once when twitted with not being much of a tackler Lindsay retorted that in his days at Oxford there was no occasion to tackle when they had behind them the greatest fullback that ever played – H. B. Tristram, the present Head of Loretto. Lindsay was a good cricketer and golfer, while also got his athletic blue in 1886, and was only beaten in the Quarter by H.C. L. Tindall at Lillie Bridge by a few inches in 51 seconds. He will be particularly missed from London and Oxford football circles, for of late years had devoted himself to writing on the Rugby game in the Sporting Life under initials of G. C. L. The funeral will take place at half-past one to-day at Hampstead Cemetery, Finchley Road.

The Newton Lower Falls Historic District encompasses the historic colonial village center of Newton Lower Falls, on the west side of Newton, Massachusetts.  This area lies north of Washington Street, along Concord and Grove Streets, between Washington and Hagar Streets.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

The "lower falls" of the Charles River were an important geographic even before colonial days, because a Native American path traversed the area (roughly along the Washington Street alignment).  In the 17th century the waterpower of the falls was already being harnessed by English colonists for the operation of gristmills and sawmills.  Permanent residency on the Newton side of the river did not begin until the early 18th century, when an iron works was established.  The oldest surviving house in the area is at 2345 Washington Street, built c. 1755.  The residential portion of the village developed on the rise above the river, where St. Mary's Episcopal Church was built c. 1813; it is separately listed on the National Register.  Adjacent to the church, a number of Greek Revival houses were built on Grove Street during the 1830s and 1840s, the height of the area's economically significant paper industry.  The last significant construction in the district was the hose house (fire station) at 677 Grove Street in 1900.

The historic portion of the village, once much larger, suffered a significant decline in the 20th century.  Fashionable houses belonging to mill owners were demolished, as were more modest residences of mill workers, in some cases to make way for the construction of nearby Massachusetts Route 128.  This intrusion also resulted in the destruction of a church and schools.
