# Constructability Constructibility}} **Constructability** (or **buildability**) is a concept that denotes ease of construction. It can be central to project management techniques to review construction processes from start to finish during pre-construction phase. Buildability assessment is employed to identify obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent errors, delays, and cost overruns. CII defines constructability as "the optimal use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, design, procurement, and field operations to achieve overall project objectives". The term \"constructability\" can also define the ease and efficiency with which structures can be built. The more constructible a structure is, the more economical it will be. Constructability is in part a reflection of the quality of the design documents; that is, if the design documents are difficult to understand and interpret, the project will be difficult to build. The term refers to: - the extent to which the design of the building facilitates ease of construction, subject to the overall requirements for the completed building (CIRIA definition). - the effective and timely integration of construction knowledge into the conceptual planning, design, construction, and field operations of a project to achieve the overall project objectives in the best possible time and accuracy at the most cost-effective levels (CII definition). - the integration of construction knowledge in the project delivery process and balancing the various project and environmental constraints to achieve the project goals and building performance at the optimal level.(CIIA definition). ## Principles There are 12 principles of constructability which are mapped on to the procurement process: 1. Integration 2. Construction knowledge 3. Team skills 4. Corporate objectives 5. Available resources 6. External factors 7. Programme 8. Construction methodology 9. Accessibility 10. Specifications 11. Construction innovation 12

# Lake Ilsanjo **Lake Ilsanjo** is a man-made lake located in Annadel State Park east of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, California, United States. It is a place for fishing and swimming, especially in the summer months. Entrepreneur Joe Coney originally owned the land that is now Annadel State Park and built the lake in the mid-1950s, naming it after his wife Ilsa and himself. It drains into Spring Creek. Coney sold the land to California State Parks in 1969, and it became a state park in 1971. The lake is formed by a dam constructed in the 1950s. Originally the overflow drained to a gully during the winter months, but in 2003, the state spent almost \$400,000 building a spillway and release valve to reduce downstream erosion. During the winter of 2007--08, park officials accidentally left the release valve open, causing the lake level to drop far below normal, exposing mudflats that would normally be underwater

# Chua Sock Koong **Chua Sock Koong** `{{Post-nominals|country=||list=[[Bintang Bakti Masyarakat|BBM]]}}`{=mediawiki} (born 14 September 1957) is the former CEO of Singtel, having held this position from April 2007 to December 2020. ## Education Chua completed her education at Raffles Girls School and Raffles Institution. Chua holds a Bachelor of Accountancy (First Class Honours) from the University of Singapore. ## Career Appointed Group Chief Executive Officer in April 2007, Chua directed Singtel's global strategy and oversees its consumer, enterprise and digital businesses. Before helming Singtel as Group CEO, Chua served in various key capacities within the company, most notably CEO International and Group CFO, after first joining as Treasurer in 1989. She was instrumental in the corporatisation of Singtel in 1992 and its subsequent successful listing on the Singapore Stock Exchange a year later. She also restructured the company for competition in the lead up to the full liberalisation of the Singapore telecoms market in 2000. Chua led Singtel's transformation from a traditional telecommunications company into a communications technology company. In February 2014, Chua asked for regulators to grant telecommunications companies the right to charge technology companies such as WhatsApp and Skype, for use of telecommunication networks, which she said was necessary because of the fall in telecommunication companies\' revenues from phone calls and text messaging as a result of competition from these new carriers. Faced with the realities of a small domestic market, Chua was part of the core leadership team which developed Singtel's internationalisation strategy which accounts for the Group's acquisition of Optus in Australia and a host of other regional telecom investments. As CEO International, she stepped up Singtel's diversification across some of Asia's fastest growing economies, leading and overseeing investments in India's Bharti Airtel, Indonesia\'s Telkomsel, Thailand's AIS and Philippines\' Globe. ## External boards and appointments {#external_boards_and_appointments} In 2019, she became the first woman to join Singapore's Council of Presidential Advisers when she was made an alternate member by President Halimah Yacob. She was appointed a full member of the council in 2020. Chua is also the Deputy Chairman of the Public Service Commission in Singapore. She was Deputy Chair of the GSMA Board from 2019 to 2020.

# Château d'Écouen The **Château d\'Écouen** is an historic château in the commune of Écouen, some 20 km north of Paris, France, and a notable example of French Renaissance architecture. Since 1975, it has housed the collections of the **Musée national de la Renaissance** (National Museum of the Renaissance). The château was built between 1539 and 1555 for Anne de Montmorency, the *Connétable de France* or Grand Constable, chief minister and commander of the French army for King Francois I, and later for Henri II. It contains important collections of paintings, sculptures, ceramics, stained glass, furniture, textiles and other arts of the French Renaissance. ## History of the château {#history_of_the_château} Records show that a fortress has existed on this hilltop site since the 12th century. The fortress guarded the Plain of France, the historic invasion route from the north. Anne de Montmorency, a nobleman, senior minister and childhood companion of King Francis I, inherited the fortress in 1515. In 1538, the King named Montmorency Constable of France, commander of the armed forces, and the grand master of the household of the King. Montmorency decided to reconstruct the castle completely in order to make it suitable for receiving the King in grand style. The château was laid out following the plan of the royal Château of Chambord in the Loire Valley. It was set on a terrace overlooking the countryside below, encircled by a false moat with a fortified wall surrounded with bastions, probably symbolizing the Constable\'s role as commander of the army. The château was in the form of a rectangle around a central courtyard, with square pavilions on the corners. It was composed of two three-story residential wings, connected by a one-story entrance wing. Both of the residential wings had monumental stairways in their centers to provide access to the suites on the upper floors. The Constable and his wife, Madeleine of Savoy, resided in the south wing, which contained their private chapel and apartments. The north wing was entirely devoted to royal visitors: It contained the suite of the Queen on the first floor and the suite of the King on the floor above. The top floors of the three main wings feature rows of *lucarnes,* or dormer windows. Records of the construction have been lost, so the name of the building\'s original architect is uncertain, but it is known that the royal architect Jean Bullant, who later designed the Grand Constable\'s tomb, participated in decoration of the château, particularly in the design of the north wing\'s ornate neo-classical peristyles employing the colossal order, that face both the inner courtyard and the exterior north gardens. Bullant\'s addition of classical columns and entablature elements to the north wing is an early example of the merging of classical and medieval forms, which became a distinguishing feature of French Renaissance architecture. Anne de Montmorency invited some of the most prominent French artists of the Renaissance to participate in the sculpture and decoration. His chapel was decorated with sculptures by Jean Goujon, Jean Bullant, Barthélemy Prieur and Bernard Palissy. Some members of the Androuet du Cerceau family found protection and work at Écouen. Much of the glass from Écouen is now at the Musée Condé, and the east wing was paved in 1549-50. The building was frescoed and furnished during the 1550s, in the style of the School of Fontainebleau. No building accounts survive, so it is not possible to follow the precise sequence of the construction. However, panels of grisaille stained glass in the gallery of the west wing are dated 1542 and 1544, and engravings of Écouen were included in Jacques Androuet du Cerceau\'s *Les Plus excellents bastiments de France*, 1576. The château remained in the Montmorency family until 1632, when it became the property of the Bourbon-Condé branch of the royal family. In 1787, shortly before the French Revolution, the original east entrance portal, topped by an equestrian statue of Montmorency, was demolished by the new owner, Louis Joseph de Bourbon, prince de Condé. When he emigrated during the Revolution, the château was confiscated by the French state. In 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte granted the château to the Legion d\'Honneur and it became a school for the daughters of the *chevaliers* of the order. Eugène de Beauharnais erected the Fontaine Hortense in the park. However, after the restoration of Louis XVIII of France the estate was returned to Louis Henri, Prince of Condé. He left it to Sophie Dawes, Baronne de Feuchères, on condition that she used it to establish an orphanage for the descendants of soldiers in his army, with his residuary heir, Henri d\'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, to pay for the running costs. She died in 1840. Little use was made of the property until 1850, ten years after the death of Dawes, when Louis Napoléon Bonaparte decided to reestablish the school of the Legion d\'Honneur there, and it continued to serve this purpose until 1962. In 1862, the château was declared a *\[\[Monument historique\]\]*. In 1969, Minister of Culture André Malraux proposed that the château become the home of the collection of Renaissance art of the Cluny Museum, and in 1977 it opened as the French National Museum of the Renaissance.

The new neoclassical entrance wing was completed in 1807 by the architect Antoine-François Peyre. The central courtyard received major additions during the reign of Henry II of France. These included two new peristyles on the interior of the north and south wings, by Jean Bullant, installed to rebalance the facades after the enlargement of the stairway to the royal apartment in the north wing. These new peristyles were early examples of French Renaissance architecture, influenced by the Italian work of Bramante, and decorated with classical orders of columns and niches for statuary. The entrance to the stairway to the King\'s apartments was originally flanked by two statues by Michelangelo, *The Slaves*, which were gifts to Montmorency from Henry II. The originals are now in the Louvre Museum. The entrance to the apartments of the King and Queen is decorated with the crescent emblem of Henry II and the rainbow emblem of Catherine de Medicis. Bullant is also credited with designing the central peristyle on the exterior of the North Wing, which covers the loggias of the monumental stairway. It has a classical pediment, large windows, orders of columns, and horizontal bands of sculptural decoration.

# Château d'Écouen ## Interior decoration {#interior_decoration} Much of the original decoration has disappeared, but some striking examples remain in the state rooms on the first floor, particularly the cabinet of the apartments of the King in the north wing and the library of the Constable, located over the chapel. These decorations include painted fireplaces that date to the reign of Henri II, featuring Biblical or historic scenes surrounded by mythical characters and animals, and cascades of fruit and vegetables. Notable examples are the fireplace in the Hall of Arms, illustrating the story of Solomon and Sheba, and the chimney of the *Salle des cuirs des Héroes romaines*, which illustrates *the Tribute to Caesar*. Other walls have frescoes of polychrome designs based on the constable\'s coats of arms. These heraldic designs, in color, highlight the more sober grisaille patterns of the stained glass windows, which are also from the reign of Henri II. Some of the state rooms have sections of their original tile floors, made of polychrome faience tiles by Masséot Abaquesne. Some rooms, particularly the cabinet in the rooms of the King and the library, over the chapel, also have some of their original carved wood panelling, featuring the emblem of Montmorency intertwined with Moorish and arabesque designs. ### The Constable\'s apartments and Chapel {#the_constables_apartments_and_chapel} The chapel, on the ground floor of the south wing, was stripped of its furnishings during the French Revolution. The original stained glass windows and wood paneling are now in the Château de Chantilly. The chapel retains the ceiling of arched rib vaults decorated with the painted coats-of-arms of Montmorency and his wife, Madeleine of Savoy. The chapel has a very early copy of the *Last Supper* by Leonardo da Vinci, painted in Milan between 1506 and 1509 by Marco d\'Oggiono, a pupil of da Vinci. It hung in the chapel during the time of Montmorency.

The King\'s bedchamber still has some of the original painted monograms of Henry II, a crescent moon, on the ceiling. The painted fireplace in his bedchamber shows a biblical scene, beneath his coat of arms held by two cherubs. His bedchamber also has two tapestries from the series called *David and Bathsheba*.

# Château d'Écouen ## Collections of the Museum of the Renaissance {#collections_of_the_museum_of_the_renaissance} The museum collections have a history of their own, separate from the château. The first collections were originally acquired by the French state in 1843 from Alexandre Du Sommerard (1779--1842), Counselor and Master of the Cour-des Comptes, who assembled a very large collection of objects from Antiquity until the French Renaissance. After his death, these became the heart of the collection of the new Cluny Museum in Paris. Under the supervision of the museum\'s new curator, Edmond Du Sommerard, Alexandre\'s son, many other objects were donated or purchased, until the collection was much too large to display adequately. The Cluny Museum re-opened after the German occupation in World War II, and a long debate began on where to put the Renaissance Art. This was not settled until 1969, when the culture minister, André Malraux, proposed opening a new museum in the Château d\'Écouen. The château, which had been stripped of almost all art, was renovated by architects of the *\[\[Monument historique\]\]s*. The new collection was chosen from among the objects of the Cluny collection based on chronology and style. The Ecouen museum received Italian Renaissance works created after 1400 and other works after 1500. The new museum also received two important works from the Louvre Museum, *The Last Supper* by Marco d\'Oggiono and the Retable of the Passion by Pierre Raymond. The first galleries of the new museum opened in October 1977. A number of rooms have been furnished with objects suitable for the use of different historical figures from the history of the château. A series of small, focussed exhibitions have been staged at Écouen over the years since the museum opened completely in 1982. ### Stained glass {#stained_glass} Most of the original stained glass of the château was removed in the 18th and 19th centuries (some is now in the Château de Chantilly), but the museum displays some remarkable glass from other sites. Many of the windows have emblems of the king or constable or other personalities in colored glass, in the middle of windows which are largely clear or in muted colors. Other windows use a full range of rich colors. Among the notable works in the collection is a portrait of King Francis I of France in prayer, by Nicolas Beaurain, made in about 1551-1556. It was commissioned by Henry II of France in 1549 to decorate Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes for the ceremonies of the Order of Saint-Michel, an order he founded. Most of the stained glass windows in the chapel were destroyed during the French Revolution, but this portion survived. It is notable especially for fine detail and shading of the colors, especially in the figure and costume of the king. Another significant work in the collection is a stained-glass depiction of a scene from the life of Saint Paul, showing Saint Paul being chased from the Temple in Jerusalem. It is one of two scenes by Louis Pinaigrier and Nicolas Charnus (first third of the 17th century). It was formerly in Paris, in the Church of Saint-Paul, which was destroyed in 1797, not long after the French Revolution.

Together, they measure seventy-five meters in length. They depict the Biblical story, but the costumes and settings are of the 16th century, and the tapestries give a detailed view of court life at the time. The identity of the original patron is not known, but Henry VIII of England purchased them in 1528. Other notable tapestries include *Fructus Belli* (*Fruits of War*), from the workshop of Jehan Baudouin in Brussels, after a design by Giulio Romano. It was commissioned in 1544 by Ferrante Gonzaga, the Duke of Guastalla and chief of the armies of the Emperor Charles V of Austria, and depicts soldiers being paid. It shows the growing influence of Italian art on Flemish tapestries. Italian tapestries are also represented, including \"The life of a man\" by Benedetto Squilli of Florence, after a painting by Jan Van der Straet. It was originally made for the Medici family for the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, as part of cycle conceived by Georgio Vasari.

Many of Dubreuil\'s subjects include mythological scenes and scenes from works of fiction by such writers as the Italian Torquato Tasso, the ancient Greek novelist Heliodorus of Emesa and the French poet Pierre de Ronsard. One of the most notable paintings is the *Voyage of Ulysses* by the Italian Guidoccio Cozzarelli of Siena, from about 1480. Painted on a wood panel, it was originally attached to a large chest, and was intended to be placed in the bedroom of newlyweds, to remind the bride about the virtue of faithfulness. The painting, based on the *Odyssey* of Homer, depicts Ulysses\' wife, Penelope, faithfully waiting for her husband\'s return from his twenty years of voyaging.

# Château d'Écouen ## Collections of the Museum of the Renaissance {#collections_of_the_museum_of_the_renaissance} ### Furniture and paneling {#furniture_and_paneling} The museum displays an important collection of carved wood furniture and panels, which illustrate the art of the French wood carving and decoration, as well as the influence of Italian artists working in France, particularly Rosso Fiorentino, responsible for much of the interior decoration of the Palace of Fontainebleau. The works in the collection show the transition of furniture from the medieval period to the Renaissance, through with the addition of an abundance of carved ornaments in classical forms, such as medallions, grotesques and architectural orders, making pieces of furniture such as chests, dressers, tables and chairs into works of sculpture. Engravings of Italian paintings and sculpture often served as models. The collection also includes numerous panels which were preserved from works that were dismantled. The collection presents especially works from the regions of Ile-de-France, Lorraine, Champagne and Burgundy, which were heavily forested and had the workshops of numerous skilled artisans making both religious and civil furniture.

Ceramic tile was also used extensively on floors and walls of châteaux like Écouen. At Écouen, some of the original floors are still in place, including a section in the royal bed chamber and in the salon of the king. These pavements were commissioned from an artist of Rouen, Masséot Abaquesne, in about 1549--1551. A section of ceramic floor from the Château of Polisy, dated 1545 and demolished after the Revolution, is on display. It was commissioned by the bishop of Auxerre, François de Dinteville, for one of his residences. The design was inspired by the Italian artist, Sebastiano Serlio, and is based on the coat of arms of the family, with illustrations of the family motto, \"Fortune and Virtue\". The collection also includes a number of works from the atelier of Bernard Palissy at the site of the Tuileries Palace in Paris. Palissy was famous for his long and unsuccessful effort to imitate Chinese porcelain. His primary success was his series of rustic plates, often depicting fish and sea life.

The major center of this production was Limoges, where enamel had been produced since the 12th century. A new variation was introduced at the end of the 15th century, and it became particularly popular among royal and noble collectors. It involved copper plates, with a layer of flat enamel on one side and a polychrome painting made with layers of colored enamel on the other side. The most important artists in this style and period included Léonard Limosin, whose family produced seven enamel painters. He created series of enamels for Francis I and Henry II. His work included portraits of mythological and religious figures, as well as portraits of the major figures of the Court. He also created the enamels of religious scenes on the altar table in the chapel. Another important French enamel painter from Limoges was Pierre Courteys, who made a series of portraits of mythological figures of unusually large size. The example of *Mercury* in the museum collection is signed and dated 1559. Its inspiration appears to be a similar series created for the Palace of Fontainebleau by Rosso Fiorentino. Another important artist with work in the collection is Suzanne de Court, also from a family of enamel painters in Limoges. She was one of the few women artists who were permitted by guild rules to sign their work with their full names.

One notable example is the statuette of Daphne by Wenzel Jamnitzer, a German craftsman from Nuremberg, goldsmith to the Holy Roman Emperors. It was made between 1569 and 1576. It portrays the Greek myth of Apollo and Daphne, from the *Metamorphoses* of Ovid, which was a popular subject in the Renaissance. The nymph Daphne is transformed into a laurel tree by her father, to protect her from the pursuing Apollo. The statuette is made of gilded silver, with branches made of red coral with touches of silver paint.

# Château d'Écouen ## Collections of the Museum of the Renaissance {#collections_of_the_museum_of_the_renaissance} ### Arms and armor {#arms_and_armor} The Museum has an exceptional collection of arms and armor, including the gilded ceremonial spurs of Francis I of France, decorated with his emblem, the salamander. These spurs, made in 1515-1525, were made in the first decade of his reign, and were displayed at his funeral in 1547. Another piece in the collection is a *dosseret* with a high collar, decorated with images of the Minevra and Mars, the deities of war. It was designed to protect the back of the neck, and could be worn either with a suit of armor or as a collar with formal court dress. The collection in the Hall of Arms includes a ceremonial *rondache* or buckler, a round ceremonial shield, of iron decorated with silver and gold, made in Italy for Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, showing the enemy soldiers he had conquered submitting to him.

One of the most famous items is the mechanical model ship, called the *Nef of Charles V*, made in about 1590 and attributed to Hans Schlottheim, which originally was in the cabinet of curiosities of the Elector of Saxe in Dresden. It contains a clock which activates seven different mechanisms, sounds the quarter hour, and sets the mechanical figures in motion: Tiny trumpeters and drummers play, the electors of the Holy Roman Empire promenade in a circle around the Emperor on his throne on the stern of the ship, and the tiny cannons fire. The display includes a video that shows all of mechanisms functioning. Other objects in the collection include an astrolabic clock attributed to Jean Naze, a clock maker from Lyon. It indicates the time, the course of the sun, the phases of the moon and the positions of the stars. Other objects include a cone-shaped cup that functions as a sundial and an enigmatic mechanical device with rows of small turning wheels, placed inside what appeared to be a book. It bears the emblems and symbols of Henry II of France, and is thought to have been an early coding device. It was made about 1547-1559.

# Bill Mathews **William Henry Mathews** (1919--2003) was a Canadian geologist, volcanologist, engineer, and professor. He is considered a pioneer in the study of subglacial eruptions and volcano-ice interactions in North America. Many of his publications continue to be regarded as classics in their field. ## Biography Bill Mathews was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1919. His mother and a brother died when he was two; his father, Vancouver pioneer Thomas Mathews, died when he was 13. Mathews attended King George Secondary School before entering the University of British Columbia in 1935, earning a Bachelor of Applied Science in geological engineering in 1940, followed by a Master of Applied Science with a major in petrology and a minor in physics in 1941. During college, he served as a student assistant for the Geological Survey of Canada from 1938 to 1941, and was also an instructor in the mountain infantry school of the Alpine Club of Canada, training personnel for the Canadian armed forces. After graduation, he worked as a mining engineer for the British Columbia Department of Mines from 1942 to 1946. He then moved to the University of California, Berkeley, completing his Ph.D. in June 1948 with a dissertation titled *Geology of the Mount Garibaldi map-area, southwestern British Columbia*. While at Berkeley he met and married his wife, Laura Lu Mathews, served on the Berkeley faculty as an assistant professor from 1948 to 1951, and then returned to Canada to accept an associate professorship in the Department of Geography and Geology at the University of British Columbia. He was promoted to full professor in 1959, served as department chairman from 1964 to 1971, and continued teaching until his retirement to professor emeritus status in 1984. Mathews received the Willet G. Miller Medal for \"outstanding research in any branch of the earth sciences\" from the Royal Society of Canada in 1989. After his retirement from teaching duties, he maintained an active research program and began writing a book on the geology of southern British Columbia, working part-time on the project until his death in 2003. The book was published posthumously in 2005 as *Roadside Geology of Southern British Columbia*. ## Scientific research {#scientific_research} Mathews scientific work embraced a broad spectrum of topics, including volcanoes, glaciers, regional geomorphology, landslides, hydrogeology, stratigraphy, coal geology, and mineral deposits. But his most influential work was in the fields of subglacial eruptions and volcano-ice interactions. He discovered several ideal field laboratories for this research in his home province of British Columbia, including the numerous volcanoes in Garibaldi Provincial Park just north of Vancouver and the remote Tuya Volcanic Field in far northern British Columbia. While still in graduate school at Berkeley in 1947, he published a paper, \"Tuyas, Flat-Topped Volcanoes in Northern British Columbia\", in which he coined the term \"tuya\" to refer to the distinctive, flat-topped, steep-sided volcanoes formed when lava erupts through a thick glacier or ice sheet. He took the name from Tuya Butte, a near-ideal specimen of the type, and this name has since become standard worldwide among volcanologists in referring to and writing about these volcanic formations. Late in his career, other scientists named a previously unnamed tuya in the Tuya Volcanic Field in honor of him as Mathews Tuya. Mathews published his first article, titled \"Geology of the Garibaldi Lake area\", in the *Canadian Alpine Journal* in 1938 when he was only 19 years old. He would go on to author more than 100 published scientific papers and reports over the next six decades. A large portion of this body of work is devoted to the numerous fascinating volcanic, glacial, and limnological features of Garibaldi Provincial Park, which he examines, analyzes, and interprets in meticulous detail and with far-reaching insight. ## Honors and memberships {#honors_and_memberships} +----------------------------------------------------------------------+---+--------------------------------------+---+-------------------------------------------------+ | - Willet G

# Jun Maeda is a Japanese writer and composer. He is a co-founder of the visual novel brand Key under Visual Arts. He is considered a pioneer of nakige visual novels, and has mainly contributed as a scenario writer, lyricist, and musical composer for the games the company produces. After graduating with a degree in psychology from Chukyo University, Maeda contributed to the scripts and scores of games released under the Tactics brand of Nexton: *Moon* and *One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e*. He has contributed both to writing music and scripts to most games released under the Key brand, notably writing the majority of *Air* and *Clannad*. He also served as a screenwriter and composer for several anime series produced by P.A. Works, such as *Angel Beats!* and *Charlotte*. ## Early life {#early_life} Jun Maeda started writing at a young age; while attending elementary school, Maeda wrote his first amateur gamebook. Maeda was initially inspired by the *Grailquest* series of gamebooks by J.H. Brennan, especially the first two books in the series *The Castle of Darkness* and *The Den of Dragons*. Through junior-high school, Maeda worked on the school newspaper and even had some short stories published in the paper. Once attending Mie high school, he started to write lyrics and compose music. It was at this time that he became immersed in the fantasy genre of fiction. While attending Chukyo University, Maeda managed to get some short stories published in Kadokawa Shoten\'s light novel magazine *The Sneaker*. Finally, when he was writing his graduation thesis, he started listening to techno music. ## Career While still attending university, Maeda sought to begin working as a musical composer for video games, and desired to work at big-name companies like Nihon Falcom Corporation, Namco, and Capcom, but he was unsuccessful. He eventually was able to be granted an interview with the video game developer TGL, but was unable to supply correct documentation, and did not get the job. As he was unable to get a job working with music, Maeda decided to change his occupational choice to that of a scenario writer for a video game company. At the time in the mid-1990s, scenario writers for consumer video games were inexperienced, so Maeda decided to shoot for adult games instead. During a period of one month, Maeda wrote a long, 300-page erotic story, intending to sell it to an adult game developer. He first tried with AliceSoft, makers of the popular *Rance* series, but finally ended up working for the company Scoop. At Scoop in 1997, he contributed as the main scenario writer for the company\'s first game, *Chaos Queen Ryōko*; however, Maeda was not happy with the work environment and promptly filed his resignation with the company shortly after finishing his work on the scenario. Around this time, Jun Maeda was inspired by Hiroyuki Kanno\'s pioneering 1996 eroge visual novel *YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World*. It demonstrated the storytelling potential of the visual novel medium, and influenced Maeda\'s later works. After leaving Scoop in 1997, Maeda went to work for the newly formed brand Tactics under the publisher Nexton. There, he went to work on the scenario and musical composition of Tactics\' second game *Moon*, followed by his work on the scenario for their third game *One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e* in 1998. After realizing the positive reception received for both titles, Maeda and much of the staff who made both *Moon* and *One*, including Itaru Hinoue, Shinji Orito, Naoki Hisaya, and OdiakeS, left Tactics to work under the video game publishing company VisualArt\'s where they formed the company Key. After forming Key, Maeda worked on the music and scenario for their first title *Kanon* released in 1999, which proved to be very popular in the adult game market in Japan. Beside Maeda, the majority of *Kanon*{{\'s}} scenario was written by Naoki Hisaya, but he quit Key shortly after *Kanon* was produced. Following this, Maeda wrote most of the scenario for Key\'s next title *Air*, along with again working as the lyricist and one of the composers for the music featured in the game. After a period of four years in 2004, Key released their third and longest game *Clannad* where Maeda did a vast amount of the writing for the game; in all, Maeda put in around 75% of the work that went into the creation of *Clannad*. Also in 2004, Maeda began writing his first manga entitled *Hibiki\'s Magic*, which was first conceived as a short story he wrote as a student. In 2005, Maeda worked on the scenario and music for Key\'s fifth game *Tomoyo After: It\'s a Wonderful Life*, followed by Key\'s sixth title *Little Busters!* released in July 2007 which he also worked on in regards to the scenario and music. Maeda was reported to say in the February 2007 issue of *Comptiq* that after the completion of *Little Busters!*, he would not be working on the scenario staff for Key any longer. However, in an interview in the December 2007 issue of *Dengeki G\'s Magazine*, Maeda said that he would still be working on the music for Key\'s next game. In 2007, Maeda also composed the ending theme for the game *Himawari no Chapel de Kimi to* for the company Marron, and he was on the music staff for Ram\'s game *5* released in July 2008. Maeda worked in collaboration with Na-Ga and ASCII Media Works\' *Dengeki G\'s Magazine* to the anime series and mixed media project *Angel Beats!* as the planner and writer, as well as composing the anime\'s music. Maeda worked on Key\'s ninth game *Rewrite* with the composition of the game\'s music and as the quality checker. In 2015, Maeda designed and co-wrote the scenario for the *Angel Beats!* visual novel, as well as composing some of the game\'s music. Maeda once again collaborated with Na-Ga, *Dengeki G\'s Magazine*, P.A. Works, and Aniplex to produce his second anime series *Charlotte* in 2015, contributing as the planner, writer, and composing the anime\'s music. In 2016, Maeda revealed that he was suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, and that to recover from this condition, he would need a heart transplant. Maeda is credited for the original concept and the composition of the music for Key\'s visual novel *Summer Pockets*. Maeda collaborated with Na-Ga, P.A. Works, and Aniplex for a third time to produce the anime series *The Day I Became a God* in 2020, contributing as the planner and writer. In 2021, Maeda published his first novel, *Nekogarizoku no Osa*. In December of that year, Maeda posted a message on Twitter saying that he had considered hanging himself following poor reception and online harassment surrounding his *The Day I Became a God* series, and stated the following day that he would retire from writing stories for anime projects. He had previously deactivated all of his social media accounts earlier in the year for a similar reason. His most recent work, *Heaven Burns Red*, was released in Japan in February 2022 for iOS and Android. It is a turn-based role-playing game with visual novel and gacha game elements created in tandem with Wright Flyer Studios. Maeda deactivated his social media accounts for a second time following criticism of his writing quality on an event story within *Heaven Burns Red*. ## Writing themes {#writing_themes} As is prevalent in the scenarios Maeda has written for visual novels, there are recurring themes related to the concept of a family and the bonds that hold it together. Most prevalent are the maternal bonds felt between a mother and daughter relationship, as can be seen strongly in *Kanon*, *Air*, and *Clannad*. However, in one of his earliest works, *Moon*, there was a conflict between the female protagonist and her late mother. Another recurring theme is that of magical realism, or adding fantastical elements into a story that would appear otherwise to be normal, such as with the concept of the illusionary world in *Clannad*, or the use of magic in *Air* and supernatural elements in *Charlotte*. Similarly, the concept of the switching between a real-life setting and the mystical Eternal World from *One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e* has been compared to Haruki Murakami\'s novel *Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World*, which uses a similar dichotomy between reality and fantasy. After the production of *Moon* with its melancholic storylines, Maeda decided to shoot for what has later become known as a \"crying game\", starting with *One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e*. A crying game in this sense is a type of bishōjo game which can make the player cry for the characters, and thus give a more profound impact on the players. When working on *Kanon* with a similar goal, Maeda worked in depressing elements to the two heroines\' stories he wrote for: Makoto Sawatari, and Mai Kawasumi.

# Jun Maeda ## Musical involvement {#musical_involvement} Jun Maeda composes and writes lyrics for songs and background music featured in games he works on. At Nexton, he composed a single piece of music for *Moon*, but did not contribute to the music in *One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e*. At Key, Maeda has worked on the music for all of Key\'s titles except for *Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet* and *Rewrite Harvest festa!*. He also composed and wrote the lyrics to the ending theme song for the *Clannad* anime series, and similarly for the opening theme song for the *Clannad After Story* anime series. Music that Maeda composes for Key titles is published on Key\'s record label Key Sounds Label. On the label, Maeda produced three singles and one album where he wrote and composed all the songs which include: \"Natsukage / Nostalgia\", \"Birthday Song,Requiem\", \"Spica/Hanabi/Moon\", and *Love Song*; the songs on the first three were sung by Lia and the fourth was sung by Riya. Maeda wrote and composed the two songs \"Doll\", performed separately by Lia and Aoi Tada, and \"Human\", performed by Lia; both versions of \"Doll\" were used as the main ending theme songs for the second season of the anime series *Gunslinger Girl* in 2008, while \"Human\" was used for the final episode. Maeda\'s first involvement as a main composer was with the 2008 visual novel *5* by Ram where he composed about twenty background music tracks. Maeda also wrote and composed the opening and ending themes used in *5*. Maeda formed his own record label named Flaming June in 2011, and the first release on the label is the single \"Killer Song\" by Nagi Yanagi released in December 2011. Flaming June released an original concept album with Yanagi on April 25, 2012 titled *Owari no Hoshi no Love Song*. Maeda released the concept album *Long Long Love Song* featuring Anri Kumaki on July 26, 2017. In 2021, Maeda wrote and composed one song for *The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage* titled \"Beat of the Night\", performed by Kaoru Sakura. Maeda wrote and composed the opening theme song for the 2022 anime series *Prima Doll*, titled \"Tin Toy Melody\"

# Buchli drive The **Buchli drive** is a transmission system used in electric locomotives. It was named after its inventor, Swiss engineer Jakob Buchli. The drive is a fully spring-loaded drive, in which each floating axle has an individual motor, that is placed in the spring mounted locomotive frame. The weight of the driving motors is completely disconnected from the driving wheels, which are exposed to movement of the rails. First used in electric locomotives from the 1920s, the Buchli drive made possible the construction of faster and more powerful locomotives that required larger and heavier traction motors. The system minimises the impact on rail tracks due to the reduction in the overall unsprung weight. Although the drive was very successful though the 1930s, it is little used in modern locomotives, having been replaced with smaller, simpler drives that exhibit less imbalance and allow higher speeds. ## Construction thumb=Animation of Buchli drive (small version).gif\|How Buchli drive works In a Buchli drive a driven gear wheel is securely fixed to the locomotive frame. Inside this gear wheel are two levers, coupled to gear segments that mesh with one another. The other end of the levers is coupled via universal joints to tension bars, which are then coupled via more universal joints to the driving rail wheel. Vertical movement of the driving wheel results in the gear segments moving due to the internal mechanism, and the driving wheel can move in a horizontal or vertical direction with respect to the gear wheel, while still transferring the momentum of the gear wheel. A disadvantage of the drive was the large number of moving parts, which demanded frequent lubrication and careful maintenance. As a result the Buchli drive system was mainly used on express train locomotives, as there were no other drive systems that gave the same performance at high speeds. However, at higher speeds the drive components became unbalanced, causing issues at speeds over 140 km per hour. ## Standard design {#standard_design} The Buchli drive was exported to other rail companies as one sided separate traction motor drive, usually with an inside frame. The motor framework with the wheelset bearing is located between the wheel disks of the driving wheels. The gear wheel, which is housed in an auxiliary frame outside the driving wheels and is surrounded by a protective casing, is on one side of the driving wheels. Each gear wheel is driven by an individual traction motor, which is located above the gear wheel in the locomotive body. With this implementation, a strongly one-sided weight distribution occurs in the underframe through the remote gear wheels. In order to maintain stability of the locomotive on the longitudinal axis, heavy equipment inside the locomotive body must be arranged on the opposite side of the drive equipment. Locomotives with a Buchli drive also typically have an asymmetrical appearance: on one side, the bearings of the drive wheels are visible, on the other side, they are almost completely covered by the wheel cover box of the gear wheels. ## Other designs {#other_designs} In addition to the standard implementation, there were also the following variations: ### Outside frame {#outside_frame} The engine framework with the driving wheel housing is outside the wheel disks of the driving wheels. The driving wheel is enclosed by a quill camped in the locomotive cabinet, on which the gear wheel sits. Examples included the Pennsylvania Railroad O1b, and the Deutsche Reichsbahn ET11.01. ### Group drive {#group_drive} The motor is arranged between the floating axles. A common pinion or a pinion on both motor end drives the gear wheels of the neighbouring axes. `{{US patent|1683674}}`{=mediawiki} described this design, but vehicles implementing it are not known. ### Bilateral drive {#bilateral_drive} The driving wheel is coupled with two gear wheels, and the motor has a pinion on both sides. The taps in the wheel disk are warped about 90 degrees against each other so that the drive imbalance can be reduced. This version of the driver was used for greater driving power. However with this arrangement, there is the danger of mechanical stress in the drive components. Examples included the French express train locomotives: SNCF 2D2 5400, SNCF 2D2 5500, SNCF 2D2 9100. ### Two motors per axis {#two_motors_per_axis} Two driving motors work on one common gear wheel, which is interconnected with a driving wheel. Examples include the Pennsylvania Railroad O1b.

# A Balladeer **A Balladeer** (styled as **a balladeer**) is a Dutch band, originating from Amsterdam, founded by singer-songwriter Marinus de Goederen. In 2002, the band won the 3FM BuZz Award and another award the following year at the final of the annual Dutch musical contest De Grote Prijs van Nederland (The Grand Prize of the Netherlands). In 2004, A Balladeer opened up for international acts Saybia and Keane and released their first EP: *Rumor Had It*. The EP featured 4 songs, including the critically acclaimed \"They\'ve Shut Down Marks & Spencer\", which resulted in considerable airplay in the Netherlands. On 5 May 2006, A Balladeer\'s debut album titled *Panama* was released by EMI Music. The single \"Swim with Sam\" was the first single. It became a hit in the Netherlands. The album was recorded in Brussels in 2005 with Bløf producer Ronald Vanhuffel. Robert Kirby (known for his work with Nick Drake) arranged the strings for three songs. In early 2007, the band won a Zilveren Harp (Silver Harp), a supporting prize for promising musical artists. In February 2007, their third single was released, a ballad called \"Robin II\". The second album, *Where Are You, Bambi Woods?*, was released on 29 August 2008. The album is partly about the year the lead singer lived near Dallas, Texas. Its title track is about the disappearance of porn star Bambi Woods (known from her role in *Debbie Does Dallas*). \'Poster Child\' is an ode to the murdered student Matthew Shepard. In 2009 the album got nominated for an Edison, a Dutch Grammy. The third album, *I Can\'t Keep Track Of Each Fallen Robin*, was released on 19 October 2012. The single \'Mob Wife\' (2017) features Sam Bettens of K\'s Choice. The original version of the song is taken from *A Wolf at the Door*, which was released on 11 March 2016. ## Band line up {#band_line_up} ### Current members {#current_members} - Marinus de Goederen -- vocals, piano, guitar ### Past members {#past_members} - Walter Wilhelm -- bass guitar (2003--2004) - Erik Meereboer -- guitar, backing vocals (2003--2010) - Tijs Stehmann -- drums (2003--2013) ### Session members {#session_members} - Peter Slager (Bløf) -- bass guitar (studio) - Bas Kennis (Bløf) -- Hammond, accordion (studio) - Charlie Dée -- backing vocals - Arn Kortooms -- bass guitar, vocals (live) ## Discography ### Albums - *Panama* (2006) - *Where Are You, Bambi Woods?* (2008) - *I Can\'t Keep Track of Each Fallen Robin* (2012) - *A Wolf at the Door* (2016) - *December* (2017) - *Clutter, Volume 1* (2020) ### EPs - *Rumor Had It* (2004) ### Singles - \"Swim with Sam\" (2006) - \"Fortune Teller\" (2006) - \"Robin II\" (2007) - \"Mary Had A Secret\" (2008) - \"Superman Can\'t Move His Legs\" (2008) - \"Oh, California\" (2010) - \"Karaoke Night\" (2012) - \"A Wolf At The Door\" (2016) - \"Incompatible\" (2016) - \"Mob Wife (Ft

# Essential extension In mathematics, specifically module theory, given a ring *R* and an *R*-module *M* with a submodule *N*, the module *M* is said to be an **essential extension** of *N* (or *N* is said to be an **essential submodule** or **large submodule** of *M*) if for every submodule *H* of *M*, $$H\cap N=\{0\}\,$$ implies that $H=\{0\}\,$ As a special case, an **essential left ideal** of *R* is a left ideal that is essential as a submodule of the left module ~*R*~*R*. The left ideal has non-zero intersection with any non-zero left ideal of *R*. Analogously, an **essential right ideal** is exactly an essential submodule of the right *R* module *R*~*R*~. The usual notations for essential extensions include the following two expressions: $$N\subseteq_e M\,$$ `{{harv|Lam|1999}}`{=mediawiki}, and $N\trianglelefteq M$ `{{harv|Anderson|Fuller|1992}}`{=mediawiki} The dual notion of an essential submodule is that of **superfluous submodule** (or **small submodule**). A submodule *N* is superfluous if for any other submodule *H*, $$N+H=M\,$$ implies that $H=M\,$. The usual notations for superfluous submodules include: $$N\subseteq_s M\,$$ `{{harv|Lam|1999}}`{=mediawiki}, and $N\ll M$ `{{harv|Anderson|Fuller|1992}}`{=mediawiki} ## Properties Here are some of the elementary properties of essential extensions, given in the notation introduced above. Let *M* be a module, and *K*, *N* and *H* be submodules of *M* with *K* $\subseteq$ *N* - Clearly *M* is an essential submodule of *M*, and the zero submodule of a nonzero module is never essential. - $K\subseteq_e M$ if and only if $K\subseteq_e N$ and $N\subseteq_e M$ - $K \cap H \subseteq_e M$ if and only if $K\subseteq_e M$ and $H\subseteq_e M$ Using Zorn\'s Lemma it is possible to prove another useful fact: For any submodule *N* of *M*, there exists a submodule *C* such that $$N\oplus C \subseteq_e M$$. Furthermore, a module with no proper essential extension (that is, if the module is essential in another module, then it is equal to that module) is an injective module. It is then possible to prove that every module *M* has a maximal essential extension *E*(*M*), called the injective hull of *M*. The injective hull is necessarily an injective module, and is unique up to isomorphism. The injective hull is also minimal in the sense that any other injective module containing *M* contains a copy of *E*(*M*). Many properties dualize to superfluous submodules, but not everything. Again let *M* be a module, and *K*, *N* and *H* be submodules of *M* with *K* $\subseteq$ *N*. - The zero submodule is always superfluous, and a nonzero module *M* is never superfluous in itself. - $N\subseteq_s M$ if and only if $K\subseteq_s M$ and $N/K \subseteq_s M/K$ - $K+H\subseteq_s M$ if and only if $K\subseteq_s M$ and $H\subseteq_s M$. Since every module can be mapped via a monomorphism whose image is essential in an injective module (its injective hull), one might ask if the dual statement is true, i.e. for every module *M*, is there a projective module *P* and an epimorphism from *P* onto *M* whose kernel is superfluous? (Such a *P* is called a projective cover). The answer is \"*No*\" in general, and the special class of rings whose right modules all have projective covers is the class of right perfect rings. One form of Nakayama\'s lemma is that J(*R*)*M* is a superfluous submodule of *M* when *M* is a finitely-generated module over *R*. ## Generalization This definition can be generalized to an arbitrary abelian category **C**. An **essential extension** is a monomorphism *u* : *M* → *E* such that for every non-zero subobject *s* : *N* → *E*, the fibre product *N* ×~*E*~ M ≠ 0. In a general category, a morphism *f* : *X* → *Y* is essential if any morphism *g* : *Y* → *Z* is a monomorphism if and only if *g* ° *f* is a monomorphism `{{harv | Porst | 1981 | loc=Introduction}}`{=mediawiki}. Taking *g* to be the identity morphism of *Y* shows that an essential morphism *f* must be a monomorphism. If *X* has an injective hull *Y*, then *Y* is the largest essential extension of *X* `{{harv|Porst | 1981 | loc=Introduction (''v'')}}`{=mediawiki}. But the largest essential extension may not be an injective hull. Indeed, in the category of T~1~ spaces and continuous maps, every object has a unique largest essential extension, but no space with more than one element has an injective hull `{{harv|Hoffmann|1981}}`{=mediawiki}

# Shaphan **Shaphan** (*שפן*, which means \"hyrax\"), son of Azaliah, is the name of a scribe or court secretary mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible (2 Kings `{{bibleref2-nb|2 Kings|22:3-14|NKJV}}`{=mediawiki} and `{{bibleverse-nb|2 Kings|25:22|KJV}}`{=mediawiki}; and parallels in 2 Chronicles `{{bibleref2-nb|2 Chronicles|34:8-20|NKJV}}`{=mediawiki}; see also Jeremiah 26:24; `{{bibleverse-nb|Jeremiah|36:10-12|KJV}}`{=mediawiki}; 39:14; `{{bibleverse-nb|Jeremiah|40:5|KJV}}`{=mediawiki} and following; and 43:6). ## Biblical accounts {#biblical_accounts} In the Chronicler\'s account, Shaphan is one of three leaders sent by King Josiah of Judah to repair the temple in Jerusalem, using the temple funds to commission the necessary work. When the chief Temple priest Hilkiah discovers an ancient Torah scroll, he gives it to Shaphan, who in turn brings it to King Josiah. Josiah reads it aloud to a crowd in Jerusalem, resulting in a great religious revival. Many scholars believe this was either a copy of the Book of Deuteronomy or a text that became a part of Deuteronomy as we have it; as a result the event is known as the Deuteronomic reform. According to the Bible, Shaphan had sons named Ahikam, Elasah and Gemariah. The latter appears not to be the same Gemariah named as a son of Hilkiah in `{{bibleverse|Jeremiah|29:3|KJV}}`{=mediawiki}. Assuming it is the same Shaphan, he also had a son named Jaazaniah, who is among the idol worshippers depicted in the vision of Ezekiel described in `{{bibleverse|Ezekiel|8:11|KJV}}`{=mediawiki}. Shaphan\'s grandson is Gedaliah, the short-lived governor of Judah appointed by Nebuchadnezzar after the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. Whether influenced by Shaphan\'s part in Josiah\'s reforms or not, both Ahikam and, later, Gedaliah appear to have played significant roles in protecting Jeremiah from persecution. ## Bullae of Shaphan {#bullae_of_shaphan} During the excavations at the City of David headed by Israeli archeologist Yigal Shiloh, a number of bullae were discovered in stratum X, destroyed by the Babylonians in ca. 586 BCE. Bulla 2 reads: *belonging to Gemaryahu ben Shaphan*. Shiloh posited that the Gemaryahu of this bulla is to be identified with \"Gemaryahu son of Shaphan the scribe\" who is mentioned in a biblical text, a figure during the reign of Jehoiakim (r. 609-598 BCE). If this is the case, it could confirm Gemaryahu alongside Ahikam as a son of Shaphan. However, archaeologist Yair Shoham notes: \"It should be borne in mind, however, that the names found on the bullae were popular in ancient times and it is equally possible that there is no connection between the names found on the bullae and the person mentioned in the Bible

# Shinji Orito is a Japanese musical composer originally from Hyōgo, Japan working for the visual novel brand Key under VisualArt\'s. Before forming Key, Orito worked for another software company named Leaf where he contributed to four games. After leaving Leaf, Orito transferred to another company named Tactics where he had a hand in the creation of three games for that company: *Dōsei*, *Moon*, and *One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e*. After forming Key, Orito has put much work into such famous titles as *Kanon*, *Air* and *Clannad*. Orito has been influenced by the famous Japanese composers Joe Hisaishi and Yuzo Koshiro. ## Career After graduating from high school, Orito worked at a bank, but due to a recession in the economy, the bank fell to restructuring, and Orito quit soon after. Orito found new work at the video game developer TGL composing music, but when a friend from high school named Naoya Shimokawa (now the president of Aquaplus) invited him to work for the video game developer Leaf, he accepted. Starting in 1995, Orito composed music for three of Leaf\'s games: *DR^2^ Night Janki*, *Filsnown: Hikari to Koku*, and *Shizuku* (precursor of *To Heart*). When Leaf\'s next game, *Hatsune no Naisho!!*, was under production, Orito quit Leaf. Orito got a part-time job working for a post office while providing outsourced musical composition for the video game developer Tactics under Nexton for the game *Dōsei*; afterward, Tactics hired Orito, who helped compose music for two more games: *Moon* and *One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e.* In 1999, Orito and much of the staff behind *Moon* and *One*, including Jun Maeda, Itaru Hinoue, Naoki Hisaya, and OdiakeS, left Tactics to work for the video game publishing company VisualArt\'s, where they formed the company Key. Orito has composed music for all of Key\'s titles, though he contributed to only one track on the original soundtrack of *Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet*. Music that Orito composes for Key is published on Key\'s record label Key Sounds Label. The label\'s first album, *Humanity\...*, was produced by Orito for his temporary band Work-S. Orito was also the director for the remix album *OTSU Club Music Compilation Vol.1*, also on Key Sounds Label, and is a member of OTSU (Organized Trance Sequential Unit). During his time at Key, Orito has provided outsourced musical composition for three games by three separate companies under VisualArt\'s. The first was for *Sense Off* by Otherwise, followed by *Shoya Kinjō* by Giant Panda, and finally *Realize* by Playm. In 2001, Orito composed the opening and ending themes for the anime series *Please Teacher!*. In 2006, Orito composed the song \"Precious\" on Mami Kawada\'s debut album *Seed*. Between December 2007 and August 2010, Orito was one of three personalities (the others being Itaru Hinoue and another woman named Chiro working for Pekoe, another visual novel studio under VisualArt\'s) on an internet radio show sponsored by Key in regards to the brand called *Key Net Radio*. Orito composed the music for Key\'s game *Rewrite* (2011) and its fan disc *Rewrite Harvest festa!* (2012). Orito released his album *Circle of Fifth* in October 2012. In 2016, Orito composed music for Key\'s game *Harmonia*. Orito\'s musical roots are in producing dōjin music as a hobby. He used to visit a music BBS called Unison-BBS and named his dōjin circle Unison Label after the website, which has since gone offline. Many people were involved with the circle, which focused on a musical style similar to that featured in bishōjo games. The group was active between 1994 and 2000. During the time he worked with Tactics and later Otherwise, Orito was also a member of a professional group of composers known as the Unison Sound Team, in which he was known as either `{{Nihongo|"Gamma"|がんま|Ganma}}`{=mediawiki} or `{{Nihongo|"Gunman"|がんまん|Ganman}}`{=mediawiki}

# Never Grow Old \"**Never Grow Old**\" usually refers to an old Southern Gospel song of the same name, technically called \"**Where We\'ll Never Grow Old**\", written by James Cleveland Moore, Sr. on April 22, 1914. It has been included on many religious-themed audio compilations, and has been covered by many singers, including Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, Bill and Gloria Gather, the Carter Family, and Aretha Franklin. In 2008, Thai-American Singer Art Supawatt Purdy recorded an acoustic version for the soundtrack of the movie \'Soi Cowboy\', one of the 61st Cannes Film Festival \'Un Certain Regard\' Official Selection. ## Background James Cleveland Moore, Sr. had intended to become a Baptist preacher. He was educated at Draketown Baptist Institute, Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and the University of Florida. He received musical training under Benjamin B. Beale and J. Henry Showalter. At 26 years old, while a seminary student at Mercer, Moore visited his hometown church to preach, Draketown Baptist Church. His father, Charles Robert Moore, had led the singing for years. Hearing his father\'s voice failing him, Moore knew that he would not hear his father sing much longer due to his father\'s advanced age. After returning to school, Moore produced the hymn and dedicated his song as: \"Dedicated to My Father and Mother.\" The song was not published until around 1930. ## Lyrics Source: : VERSE 1: : I have heard of a land : On the faraway strand : \'Tis a beautiful home of the soul : Built by Jesus on high : There we never shall die : \'Tis a land where we never grow old. ```{=html} <!-- --> ``` : CHORUS: : Never grow old \[where we\'ll\] : Never grow old : In a land where we\'ll never grow old : Never grow old \[where we\'ll\] : Never grow old : In a land where we\'ll never grow old. ```{=html} <!-- --> ``` : VERSE 2: : In that beautiful home : Where we\'ll nevermore roam : We shall be in the sweet by and by : Happy praise to the King : Through eternity sing : \'Tis a land where we never shall die. ```{=html} <!-- --> ``` : VERSE 3: : When our work here is done : And the life-crown is won : And our troubles and trials are o\'er : All our sorrow will end : And our voices will blend : With the loved ones who\'ve gone on before

# Dhurma **Dhruma** or **Darma** (*ضرما*) is a small town located 73.4 km by road northwest of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is the center of the small Dhurma Governorate of Riyadh Province, and had a population of 10,267 people according to the 2004 census. It lies in the wide Al-Batin valley, which it shares with its larger twin, Muzahmiyya. ## History The town appears in the 7th century poetry of Jarir as \"Qarma\" or \"Garma\", and is also mentioned by the same name in Yaqut\'s encyclopedia. It is unknown, however, when exactly the name evolved into \"Dhurma\". The village was important in pre-20th century Nejd as a western gateway to the region of Wadi Hanifa, which includes Riyadh and Diriyah, and often bore the brunt of the military campaigns directed at the region. Its traditional rulers were distant cousins of the Al Saud family, and Dhurma joined the First Saudi State at the end of the 18th century. A large invasion of Saudi-ruled territory by the Yam tribe of Najran, some 1000 km to the south, was repelled by the people of Dhurma in 1775 after an intense battle fought in a nearby forest of palm trees. Later, the Egyptian-Ottoman forces of Ibrahim Pasha placed the town under siege on their way to the Saudi capital of Diriyah (see Saudi-Ottoman War). Dhurma offered remarkably stout resistance to the invading army, and even rejected Ibrahim\'s offer of a truce in exchange for allowing him to proceed to Diriyah. The town, however, surrendered in early 1818 and Ibrahim\'s retribution was especially harsh, allowing his troops to pillage the village with impunity. The town revived somewhat after those events, and was reported by Philby to have had a population of nearly 6,000 in 1917. Its fortunes have fallen dramatically in recent decades, however, because it was bypassed by the modern Riyadh-Mecca highway, and most of its original inhabitants have moved to neighboring Riyadh

# Expletive deleted The phrase **expletive deleted** indicates that profanity has been censored from a text by the author or by a subsequent censor, usually appearing in place of the profanity. The phrase has been used for this purpose since at least the 1930s, but became more widely used in the United States after the Watergate scandal. ## History Compelled by a subpoena to provide the contents of the White House taping system to the House Judiciary Committee in April 1974, President Richard Nixon ordered transcripts of the tapes to be prepared. After a cursory inspection of the transcripts, Nixon, shocked at viewing several profanity-laced discussions amongst the White House\'s inner-circle, ordered that every use of profanity be replaced by \"\[EXPLETIVE DELETED\]\". The transcripts were published in *The New York Times* and elicited shock in much of the country, given Nixon\'s generally staid public image and the fact that contemporary media coverage of politicians did not usually report candidates\' profanity use. As Nixon biographer Jonathan Aitken noted, Nixon had a rather broad view on what constituted profanity, and had ordered comparatively minor outbursts like *Christ* and *hell* to be replaced as expletives. Seeing the jarring phrase repeatedly within the transcripts seemed to give the public the impression that the words used were far harsher than what actually appeared on the tapes. The phrase entered the public imagination to the point where protesters outside the White House held up picket signs reading, \"IMPEACH THE (EXPLETIVE DELETED)!\" In later years, the phrase became commonplace as an ironic expression which indicates that a profanity has been omitted; this catchphrase has passed into general usage as a convenient linguistic figleaf. ## Technical definition {#technical_definition} The term *expletive* is commonly used to refer to any bad language (or profanity), used with or without meaning. *Expletives* in this wide sense may be adjectives, adverbs, nouns, (most commonly), interjections, or (rarely) verbs. Within linguistics, however, \"expletive\" is a technical term referring to a word that does not contribute semantically to the meaning of a sentence, such as an expletive attributive or a dummy pronoun. An expletive in this technical sense is not necessarily rude

# 2007 Japanese Grand Prix The **2007 Japanese Grand Prix** (officially the **2007 Formula 1 Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix**) was a Formula One motor race held on 30 September 2007 at the Fuji Speedway, Oyama, Shizuoka. The 67-lap race was the fifteenth round of the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship. It was held at the recently revised track in very heavy rain and misty conditions. For the previous 20 years, the Japanese Grand Prix had been held at Suzuka Circuit, but at this race it returned to Fuji for the first time since 1977. The race was won by McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, who also took pole position and the fastest lap of the race. Heikki Kovalainen achieved his first podium, by finishing second for the Renault team (Renault\'s only podium that year), whilst Kimi Räikkönen finished in third for Ferrari. Adrian Sutil scored his first point and Spyker\'s first and only points ever by finishing 9th and being promoted to 8th after the race. As a consequence of the race, Hamilton extended his lead in the World Drivers\' Championship to twelve points over McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso. Alonso had only been two points behind Hamilton in the standings before he crashed during the race. Räikkönen\'s third-place finish ensured he remained in mathematical contention to clinch the drivers\' title in the remaining two rounds. His Ferrari teammate, Felipe Massa, dropped out of championship contention after finishing the race in sixth position. Massa was now ten points behind Räikkönen. In the World Constructors\' Championship, Ferrari were leading the standings on 170 points. McLaren would have been leading the table on 202 points had they not been given a penalty in the Hungarian Grand Prix, and then disqualified entirely due to the espionage controversy that year. BMW Sauber remained second in the standings, 78 points behind Ferrari, after scoring just two points in the race. Renault ensured that they would finish the year in third, (like BMW Sauber, they were unpassable by any other team), and were 41 points behind.

# 2007 Japanese Grand Prix ## Report ### Background Lewis Hamilton of McLaren led the Drivers\' Championship by two points from his team-mate Fernando Alonso, who was a further 11 points ahead of Ferrari\'s Kimi Räikkönen. After McLaren\'s exclusion from the Constructors\' Championship, Ferrari had been confirmed as Constructors\' Champions, following their Belgian Grand Prix one-two. They were 71 points ahead of BMW Sauber. Three Japanese constructors and two Japanese drivers competed in the race. Toyota were 6th in the Constructors\' Championship, whilst Honda were 8th, behind their own \"B-team\" Super Aguri. Takuma Sato was 15th in the Drivers\' Championship for Super Aguri, whilst compatriot Sakon Yamamoto had yet to score for Spyker F1, having debuted at the Hungarian Grand Prix. David Coulthard changed his helmet design for this race, choosing to use the helmet design of former World Rally Champion Colin McRae, who had died two weeks before the race in a helicopter crash. As with the 2006 race, the event was filmed and broadcast in high-definition by Fuji Television for the domestic Japanese audience. ### Qualifying Although the weather had dried out by the time qualifying began, the track was still wet and all the drivers went out on wet tyres. Qualifying one saw the two Spykers of Adrian Sutil and Sakon Yamamoto and the two Super Aguris of Anthony Davidson and Takuma Sato eliminated, along with Alexander Wurz in the Williams and Rubens Barrichello in the Honda. Ralf Schumacher\'s Toyota also collided with Yamamoto, forcing both drivers out of qualifying. Schumacher was already through to Q2, but could not set a time in the second session and so qualified 16th. Qualifying two saw the elimination of the two Renaults of Giancarlo Fisichella and Heikki Kovalainen, David Coulthard\'s Red Bull, Vitantonio Liuzzi\'s Toro Rosso and the Toyotas of Jarno Trulli and Schumacher. Sebastian Vettel in the Toro Rosso and Robert Kubica in the BMW Sauber occupied row 5, just behind Jenson Button, getting his best qualifying of the season in the Honda, and Mark Webber\'s Red Bull. Nico Rosberg qualified 6th in the Williams, but was penalised ten places for an engine change. This meant that Vettel qualified eighth, the then best qualifying ever for Toro Rosso. Nick Heidfeld qualified 5th for BMW Sauber, and the top four was once again the two McLarens and two Ferraris. The Ferraris failed to get on the front row, with Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa 3rd and 4th respectively. Lewis Hamilton then pipped his more experienced McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso to earn the fifth pole position of his career.

# 2007 Japanese Grand Prix ## Report ### Race Due to torrential rainfall, the race was started behind the safety car, which led the field for the first 19 laps. The Ferraris of Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa were forced to pit during the first few laps after starting on standard wet tyres, as opposed to \"extreme wet\" tyres, which were better-suited to the treacherously wet conditions. Ferrari boss Jean Todt later stated that the team were not informed about the requirements prior to the race, although all other teams were. During the initial safety car period, the FIA instructed the lapped driver Vitantonio Liuzzi to pass the field and catch up to the back of the queue as quickly as he safely could, as a way of gauging whether the track was ready for the race to begin in earnest. The Ferraris dropped back to 20th and 21st positions respectively following the pit stops, and Massa pitted again on lap 15. When the safety car finally left the circuit, the two McLarens began the race proper at the head of the field, in front of the quick-starting Sebastian Vettel. The Toro Rosso driver had taken third place from Nick Heidfeld, after the latter and Jenson Button\'s Honda collided. Mark Webber was in fourth by the first racing lap as a result of the collision, despite still suffering from the after-effects of food poisoning, having earlier vomited into his helmet during the first safety car period. A first-corner spin caused Alexander Wurz to collide heavily with Felipe Massa\'s Ferrari. Wurz\'s car sustained heavy damage and he retired on the spot. Later in the race, Fernando Alonso crashed out, later blaming aquaplaning for the accident, which once again brought out the safety car. It was the first time that a McLaren car had failed to finish during the 2007 season. During this safety car period on lap 45, third-placed Sebastian Vettel crashed into the rear of second-placed Webber in the wet conditions, Webber retiring immediately and Vettel returning to the pits to retire. Vettel had earlier became the youngest ever driver to lead a lap of a Formula One race (aged 20 years and 89 days) -- his record was subsequently broken by Max Verstappen (aged 18 years and 228 days) at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix. The collision put Heikki Kovalainen\'s Renault in second place, which he managed to hold until the end of the race, despite repeated overtaking attempts by Kimi Räikkönen. It was Kovalainen\'s first podium finish. Räikkönen would eventually finish third, ahead of David Coulthard in fourth for Red Bull Racing. This was the first time that two Finnish drivers had both finished on the podium. On the final lap, Felipe Massa prevailed in his battle with BMW driver Robert Kubica. The Pole had previously served a drive through penalty for colliding with Hamilton. Massa finished sixth, and Kubica seventh, behind Giancarlo Fisichella\'s Renault. Vitantonio Liuzzi finished in eighth, scoring the first 2007 championship points for Toro Rosso. However, these points were later removed when Liuzzi was penalised for overtaking Adrian Sutil under waved yellow flags. This promoted Sutil to eighth, giving him and the Spyker team their first and only F1 points. ### Post-race {#post_race} Following the race, Sebastian Vettel received a 10-place penalty for the next race in Shanghai, China, for causing the collision with Mark Webber which put both drivers out of the race, but his punishment was later reduced to a reprimand when new evidence was presented to the FIA, prompting it to begin an investigation of Lewis Hamilton for dangerous driving and causing the collision himself. Hamilton was leading the race right in front of Webber, before suddenly braking and forcing Webber to follow suit lest he be penalised for overtaking behind the safety car, potentially causing Vettel\'s car to run into the back of Webber. Hamilton might have faced either disqualification or a grid penalty for the next race, but the FIA decided not to impose any penalty.

# 2007 Japanese Grand Prix ## Problems with the circuit {#problems_with_the_circuit} The event was afflicted by poor transportation, poor facilities (including some reserved seats without a view), a lack of organization, and expensive meals that meant a simple lunch-box was sold for 10,000 yen (US\$87) at the circuit. ### Transportation The free practice session on Saturday was abandoned after repeated delays due to fog, which grounded the medical helicopter. Only three drivers set a time in four minutes: Alexander Wurz (Williams-Toyota), Nico Rosberg (Williams-Toyota) and Jarno Trulli (Toyota). Before the race, there were suggestions that the plan of carrying all of the 100,000 or more spectators only by shuttle bus would be impossible. To relieve people\'s doubts, the circuit announced that there was complete preparation for the race. These doubts were realised when, after the qualifying session on Saturday, the shuttle buses could not leave because the road on the east gate of the circuit sank around 16:00. As a result, approximately 20,000 spectators were forced to stay for four hours or more until 21:00. For the race on Sunday, only the shuttle bus was admitted for spectators as transport. ### Refund On Sunday morning, the circuit announced that they would refund spectators who had bought seats in the reserved seat area on \'C\' stand, near the first corner. This was due to the low visibility which meant that the cars on the racing line were not seen at all. The cost of the tickets, 50,000 yen (US\$435), was scheduled to be reimbursed to 7,000 people who were in the stand. The total cost of the refund was expected to be around 350 million yen (US\$3 million). After the race on Sunday, the circuit held a press conference to apologise for problems and announced that they would refund another 85 spectators who did not arrive at the circuit until after the start of the race due to the delay of the shuttle bus. The circuit said that they would reimburse them for all the costs caused by watching the race: the transportation expenses, the hotel charges and the cost of the tickets. ### Toyota bias {#toyota_bias} Fuji Speedway prohibited spectators from setting up flags and banners supporting teams and drivers, with the exception of the Toyota F1 team whose owner also owned the circuit. Therefore, there were very few flags and banners in the event compared with other Grand Prix events. After the event, Japanese media figures such as Fuji TV F1 commentator Jun Imamiya, and Fuji TV F1 commentator and former mechanic for Benetton Formula Tetsuo Tsugawa criticised the organization of the circuit. Tsugawa mentioned: However, the event was well received by visitors in the paddock. Despite the problems and criticism, the team principal of Toyota F1, Tadashi Yamashina praised the event: `{{Cquote|...I would like to say congratulations to Fuji Speedway for hosting this race for the first time in 30 years. The facilities here are excellent and the race was well organised.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.toyota-f1.com/public/en/gp2007/15_japan/race.html |title=Japanese Grand Prix – Race Round-Up |date=2007-09-30 |publisher=Toyota F1 |access-date=2007-10-02 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070520221053/http://www.toyota-f1.com/public/en/gp2007/15_japan/race.html |archive-date = 2007-05-20}}</ref>}}`{=mediawiki} In 2009, the Japanese Grand Prix was held again at Suzuka, with the plan to alternate between the two circuits in subsequent years. It was suggested that this could help to prevent future shows of such flagrant parochialism. However, Toyota later announced that the Japanese Grand Prix would not be held at Fuji Speedway any more, and the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix was the last held at the circuit. ### Lawsuit On 16 June 2008, 109 spectators went to Tokyo District Court and took an action against the circuit to claim total 32 million yen (US\$295,500) in compensation for bad health and missing the race due to the problems with the shuttle buses.`{{update inline|date=January 2018}}`{=mediawiki}

# William Mathews (mountaineer) **William Mathews** (1828--1901) was an English mountaineer, botanist, land agent and surveyor, who first proposed the formation of the Alpine Club of London in 1857. ## Early life {#early_life} He was the eldest of six sons of Jeremiah Mathews, a Worcestershire land agent, and his wife Mary Guest. Of his brothers, Charles Edward Mathews (1834--1905) and George Spencer Mathews (1836--1904) were also noted mountaineers. William was educated at St John\'s College, Cambridge. ## Founding of the Alpine Club {#founding_of_the_alpine_club} Mathews had corresponded with F. J. A. Hort about the idea of founding a national mountaineering club in February 1857 and took the idea up with E. S. Kennedy on an ascent of the Finsteraarhorn on 13 August 1857 (the fifth ascent of the mountain and the first British ascent). Ad hoc meetings at Mathews\'s house near Birmingham proceeded during November, and the meeting at which the Alpine Club was founded took place on 22 December 1857 at Ashley\'s Hotel in London, chaired by Kennedy. ## First ascents {#first_ascents} - Grande Casse with guides Michel Croz and E.

# Man's Rights in the Family Party The **Man\'s Rights in the Family Party** (*מפלגת זכויות הגבר במשפחה - רע\"ש*, *Miflega Zkhuyot HaGever BeMishpaha - Ra\'ash*) was a minor political party in Israel headed by Yaakov Schlusser. ## Background In 1996, Schlusser published a book, *Men\'s Rights in the Family?*, which argued that family law in the State of Israel is biased against men. Issues such as divorce, alimony, false accusations of abuse, and child support are addressed. Schlusser subsequently contested the 1996 Knesset elections as the head of the Man\'s Rights in the Family Party. The platform of the party called for the abolition of the clause granting automatic custody to the mother in cases of divorce for small children. It also called for basing child support on other factors besides the cost-of-living index. Other issues the party dealt with was more housing for young couples, lowering taxes, and a call for state pensions. It also called for the option of a secular civil marriage in addition to a religiously recognized marriage. It received 2,388 votes (0.1%), failing to win a seat. In the 1999 Knesset elections, the party ran under the name \"Justice for All\", and received 1,257 votes (0.04%), the second lowest number of votes with a 1.5% electoral threshold. In 2003, the party was accused by the Israel Women\'s Lobby of inciting violence against women and misrepresenting facts in their campaign broadcasts. However, according to an article in *Haaretz*, the chairman of the Central Elections Committee rejected the women\'s lobby petition to censor the campaign. In the subsequent Knesset elections, the party received 1,284 votes (0.04%). The 2006 elections saw the party run as \"Justice for All\" again, this time receiving 3,819 votes (0.12%). Prior to the 2009 Knesset elections, Schlusser said in an interview with Yedioth Achronoth that one out of every two fathers loses the right to see their children as a result of messy divorces, adding, \"children have a right to see their fathers\", also claiming that \"a child that sees a woman in control, in contradiction to nature, may turn homosexual\". In the elections, the party received only 921 votes (0.03%). In 2012, Schlusser was profiled in *Makor Rishon* about his personal experiences which led him to run for public office. In 2013, he advocated changing laws that stipulate stay-at-home men must pay National Insurance, while housewives are exempt. In an interview with *Haaretz*, he stated, \"When it comes to the age of retirement, for example, women can retire at age 62, but I can\'t

# Franklin Engine Company The **Franklin Engine Company** was an American manufacturer of aircraft engines. Its designs were used primarily in the civilian market, both in fixed wing and helicopter designs. It was briefly directed towards automobile engines as part of the Tucker Car Corporation, returning to aviation when that company failed. The company was later purchased by the Government of Poland. ## History The firm began as the H. H. Franklin Co. in 1902 in Syracuse, New York, US, to produce Franklin air-cooled automobiles. Barely surviving bankruptcy in 1933, the company was purchased by a group of ex-employees and renamed **Air-cooled Motors** in 1937. While the company kept the name of \"Air-cooled Motors,\" its engines continued to be marketed under the Franklin name. Engineers Carl Doman and Ed Marks kept the company alive through the depression by manufacturing air-cooled truck and industrial engines. During World War II Air-cooled Motors was very successful producing helicopter and airplane engines. Several aircraft carried its engines, including the Aero-Flight Streak, Bartlett Zephyr, Bell 47, Bellanca Cruisair, Brantly B-1, Goodyear Duck, H-23 Raven, Hiller 360, Piper J-3F Cub, Seibel S-4, Sikorsky S-52, Stinson Voyager, Taylorcraft 15, Temco TE-1B, and the YT-35 Buckaroo. Air-cooled Motors was purchased by Republic Aviation Company in 1945 to produce engines for its Republic Seabee light amphibious aircraft. After the war, demand for the engines dropped dramatically and Republic was unsure of the company\'s future. In 1947 Air-cooled Motors was purchased for \$1.8 million by the Tucker Car Corporation to produce an engine for the 1948 Tucker Sedan. After the purchase, Tucker cancelled all of the company\'s aircraft contracts so that its resources could be focused on making automotive engines for the Tucker. At the time Air-cooled Motors had held over 65% of postwar U.S. aviation engine production contracts. As a result of the shift, when the Tucker Car Corporation failed amidst allegations of stock fraud, Air-cooled nearly failed with it. Tucker and the Tucker family owned the firm until 1961, when it was sold to Aero Industries, which restored the name Franklin Engine Company. In 1975 the government of Poland bought the company and moved it to Rzeszów, first under the name PZL-Franklin and later PZL-F. The company is now called Franklin Aircraft Engines Sp. z o.o. with the address ul. Chełmińska 208 in 86-300 Grudziądz city in Poland. At Aero Friedrichshafen 2016 the company had new engines on display. The innovations include modifications to the type certificate of the 6A-350; the approval for MOGAS, as well as fuel injection is pending at EASA. New Franklin engines built by Franklin Aircraft Engines Sp. z o.o. are available in the United States from Franklin Aircraft Engines, Inc. of Fort Collins, Colorado. In addition, there are a number of restoration and service options for \"legacy\" or rather original US built Franklin engines. Because of inherent engine balance, size, power to weight, and comparative cost to competing engines, Franklins are popular choices for experimental aircraft and have a significant list of approved supplemental type certificates

# 5-demicubic honeycomb Demipenteractic honeycomb --------------------------- (No image) Type Family Schläfli symbols Coxeter diagrams Facets Vertex figure Coxeter group The **5-demicube honeycomb** (or **demipenteractic honeycomb**) is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 5-space. It is constructed as an alternation of the regular 5-cube honeycomb. It is the first tessellation in the demihypercube honeycomb family which, with all the next ones, is not regular, being composed of two different types of uniform facets. The 5-cubes become alternated into 5-demicubes h{4,3,3,3} and the alternated vertices create 5-orthoplex {3,3,3,4} facets. ## D5 lattice {#d5_lattice} The vertex arrangement of the **5-demicubic honeycomb** is the **D~5~ lattice** which is the densest known sphere packing in 5 dimensions. The 40 vertices of the rectified 5-orthoplex vertex figure of the *5-demicubic honeycomb* reflect the kissing number 40 of this lattice. The D`{{sup sub|+|5}}`{=mediawiki} packing (also called D`{{sup sub|2|5}}`{=mediawiki}) can be constructed by the union of two D~5~ lattices. The analogous packings form lattices only in even dimensions. The kissing number is 2^4^=16 (2^n−1^ for n\<8, 240 for n=8, and 2n(n−1) for n\>8). : ∪ `{{CDD|nodes|split2|node|3|node|split1|nodes_10lu}}`{=mediawiki} The D`{{sup sub|*|5}}`{=mediawiki} lattice (also called D`{{sup sub|4|5}}`{=mediawiki} and C`{{sup sub|2|5}}`{=mediawiki}) can be constructed by the union of all four 5-demicubic lattices: It is also the 5-dimensional body centered cubic, the union of two 5-cube honeycombs in dual positions. : ∪ `{{CDD|nodes_01rd|split2|node|3|node|split1|nodes}}`{=mediawiki} ∪ `{{CDD|nodes|split2|node|3|node|split1|nodes_10lu}}`{=mediawiki} ∪ `{{CDD|nodes|split2|node|3|node|split1|nodes_01ld}}`{=mediawiki} = `{{CDD|nodes_10r|4a4b|nodes|3ab|branch}}`{=mediawiki} ∪ `{{CDD|nodes_01r|4a4b|nodes|3ab|branch}}`{=mediawiki}. The kissing number of the D`{{sup sub|*|5}}`{=mediawiki} lattice is 10 (*2n* for n≥5) and its Voronoi tessellation is a tritruncated 5-cubic honeycomb, `{{CDD|branch_11|3ab|nodes|4a4b|nodes}}`{=mediawiki}, containing all bitruncated 5-orthoplex, `{{CDD|node|4|node|3|node_1|3|node_1|3|node}}`{=mediawiki} Voronoi cells. ## Symmetry constructions {#symmetry_constructions} There are three uniform construction symmetries of this tessellation.

# Figuration Libre **Figuration Libre** (`{{IPA|fr|fiɡyʁasjɔ̃ libʁ}}`{=mediawiki}, *Free Figuration*) is a French art movement which began in the 1980s. It is the French equivalent of Bad Painting and Neo-expressionism in America and Europe, Junge Wilde in Germany and Transvanguardia in Italy. Artists in the movement typically incorporate elements of comic book art and graffiti into their work. They use bright colors and exaggerated, caricature-like figures. The group was formed in 1981 by Robert Combas, Remi Blanchard, François Boisrond and Hervé Di Rosa. The term \'Figuration Libre\' was coined by Fluxus artist Ben Vautier. Other figures include Richard Di Rosa and Louis Jammes. Between 1982 and 1985, these artists exhibited alongside their American counterparts Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf in New York City, London, Pittsburgh and Paris.

# Confused.com **Confused.com** is a UK based financial services comparison platform launched in 2001 and specialising in comparison of insurance and financial services, including car insurance, home insurance, energy, van insurance and life insurance. Confused.com\'s platform includes a website and app. ## History Confused.com launched in 2001, becoming the UK's first car insurance comparison site. Its offices are based in Cardiff, Wales. Confused.com was part of the Admiral Group plc until its sale to RVU on 30 May 2021. Confused.com is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. ## Management Confused.com has undergone a high degree of management churn in recent years. At the top level, founding Managing Director Kate Armstrong, an IT consultant originally from Sydney, retired from the business in 2005, following the successful flotation of the Admiral Group. She was succeeded by Deborah Williams who took the reins from 2005 to 2007. The business underwent expansive growth in this period with profit hitting £36 million in 2007. It was with some degree of surprise therefore that the industry received news of Williams\' departure to join a relatively unknown insurance broker. Williams was succeeded by Carlton Hood in the newly created position of CEO. The sector was shaken up by the ground breaking Compare the Market campaign in 2009; Confused.com, along with other established competitors, lost market share. Hood resigned abruptly in 2010 and was succeeded by Group FD Kevin Chidwick as an interim measure. Chidwick remained in place until January 2012, and was succeeded by Admiral Group senior manager Nic Weng Kan followed by Martin Coriat. Coriat was MD of Admiral-owned French comparison site LeLynx.fr until he took up the position of Confused.com CEO in October 2013. In August 2012, Joby Russell stepped into the role of Marketing Director. After overseeing the launch of the \'Brian the Robot\' campaign and later toy promotions, Russell left the role in May 2015 to take up the role of CMO at online estate agents Purplebricks.com. In late 2015, Paul Troy was appointed the CMO role at Confused.com. Troy had previously worked for Moneysupermarket between 2011 and 2013 where he created the \'You\'re so money supermarket\' campaign. In September 2017, Louise O\'Shea was appointed as CEO of Confused.com taking over from Martin Coriat who himself was appointed as chief executive of Admiral-owned French comparison website LeLynx. O\'Shea was promoted to the CEO position from her role as finance director at Confused.com. In May 2018, Confused.com announced the appointment of Sam Day as chief marketing officer, replacing Troy. In March 2023, Steve Dukes was appointed as the CEO of Confused.com as Louise O\'Shea stepped down from the role after almost 6 years. Dukes joined Confused.com as the company's first Chief Operating Officer in 2019. Before joining Confused.com, Dukes served in product leadership and general management roles in high growth companies within the financial services and eCommerce sectors. This included serving as CEO at Commuter Club, where he oversaw a period of key transformation within the company.

# Confused.com ## Advertising In early years, Confused.com achieved success with a simple, repetitive direct response advertising format, in which a man described what Confused.com was offering, with a slightly different variant being used from 2003 until 2005. This led to the longest running of Confused.com's campaigns, starting from 2005 until 2008, featuring simple cardboard props on a white background, later with people saying they were \"Confused.com\" by the depicted marketplace. In later years as competitors Moneysupermarket.com, Go.Compare and Comparethemarket.com have entered the market, Confused.com has tried numerous different advertising vehicles. None have emulated the success of the initial campaign and Confused.com has slipped from the position of market leader to being the fourth largest car insurance comparison website in the UK. The popularity of the company\'s slogan \'Confused.com\' rose to prominence after the success of the 2002 campaign. A 2002 study by Webster showed that the slogan was the third most used phrase of the year behind \'Hey you\' and \'Naughty Soldier\'. Later adverts, starting around the year of 2009, contained real life testimonials, featured customers and prolific social media users talking about their experiences while using the website, as well as showcasing the website's simplicity by explaining how it works. Adverts in early 2010 focused on the concept of regret and featured members of the public lamenting that they could have purchased something they wanted if they had purchased their car insurance through Confused.com. In September 2010, Confused.com introduced the character of \"Cara Confused\" a wild-haired animated version of the original company mascot that was present on the former Confused.com logo. The inspiration for the creation of Cara came from Kate Armstrong, the founder and former managing director of Confused.com. The campaign used the tagline, \"it pays to be Confused.com\". In February 2011 an advert started featuring Cara (voiced by West End star Louise Dearman) singing the Diana Ross track \"Chain Reaction\". Marketing Director Mike Hoban claimed that this campaign gained Confused.com 2 million customers since launch. On 1 June 2013, a campaign launched featuring a robot named Brian, depicted as being on a mission to help people to \"save pounds\". On 24 December 2014, an advert was launched where scrap dealers kidnap Brian. Instead of melting him down straight away, they leave him hanging through the night on a magnet. However, his robot friends at headquarters receive his distress call and go to help him. A couple of weeks later the succeeding advert shows the same five co-robots, known as the Herberts (Chief Herbert, Miss Herbert, Stunt Herbert, Clever Herbert and Baby Herbert), go to help Brian. They stop the incinerator at the last moment, saving Brian and continuing the \'Brian\' advertising campaigns after they repair him in March 2015. In August 2015, an advert was launched featuring Brian and the Herberts dancing to \"Jump on It!\" promoting the then brand new Brian toy available by buying insurance through Confused.com. In early 2016, two more toys were launched, Miss Herbert and Stunt Herbert, with a corresponding campaign showing both characters competing with each other to promote their respective toys. On 1 August 2016, the adverts featuring the Robots were scrapped in favour of a new advertisement featuring James Corden. On 17 August 2018, following a run of five adverts, James Corden was replaced in favour of a new direction and new frontman Timothy Murphy. The advert features Murphy driving a car through a busy mass of confusing messaging and advertising before ending with Murphy driving down a clear road. This advert and all subsequent adverts featured Link Wray\'s Rumble. The ads parody the songs like \"Y.M.C.A.\" by Village People and \"Chained Reaction\" by Diana Ross. ## Sponsorship Confused.com has sponsored programmes on ITV such as *Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?* (including the drama series *Quiz*, due to its association with *Millionaire*), *Ninja Warrior UK*, *Sunday Night at the Palladium*, *Celebrity Squares*, *Catchphrase* and *Emmerdale*, and *The Simpsons* on Sky Showcase (formerly Sky One & Sky 1). It also previously sponsored the ITV National Weather. In 2019, along with Land Rover, they were a sponsor of ITV\'s coverage of the 2019 Rugby World Cup

# Château de Chalmazel The **Château de Chalmazel**, or **Château des Talaru** is a castle situated in the *commune* of Chalmazel, in the Loire *département* of France. It is located in the Haut-Forez, between the towns of Saint-Étienne and Thiers. Its name in medieval times was *Saint-Jehan-des-Neiges*. The castle dominates the valley of the Lignon and it was built to be an impregnable fortress on the instructions of the Count of Forez. ## History Construction of the fortress began in 1231. The work was carried out by *seigneur* (Lord) Arnaud de Marcilly to the order of Guy IV du Forez who financed it. The site was covered by forest and almost inaccessible. Initially, it functioned rather as a fortified house, but it was transformed into a genuine medieval fortress, intended to counteract the ambitions of the powerful neighbours of the seigneurie of Couzan, then in the hands of the Damas family, linked to the Germanic emperor. The castle appeared gloomy and severe, with four round towers dominated by a square keep, with no openings on the sides. When Antoine de Marcilly died aged 25 with no direct heirs in 1371, the castle passed to his sister Béatrix, last of the Marcilly line. She had married Mathieu de Talaru in 1364; thus the seigneurie of Chalmazel passed to the Talarus, an old noble family from the Lyonnais. Following the destruction of the Château de Marcilly, the Talarus withdrew to the castle at Chamazel and, in 1400, they built the ramparts, in the form of a pentagonal *enceinte* and added machicolations to the keep. After the incorporation of Forez into the Kingdom of France, the Talarus served the king in his armies. During the Renaissance, the Marquis de Talaru, returning from the Italian Wars, added Renaissance style embellishments: openwork facade, galleries to the inner court, painting in the chapel, sculptures. But the winters were harsh, and from 1533, the Talarus preferred to live in their Château d\'Écotay or in Saint-Marcel-de-Félines, acquired by marriage in 1559. Chalmazel was transformed into a summer residence and began to be neglected. In the 18th century, the Talarus inherited by marriage the Château de Chamarande, near Arpajon, to the south of Paris, and they moved there to be closer to Versailles where Louis de Talaru held important posts in the royal court and the army. They abandoned the castle in 1650, carrying out only the most urgent work. The castle began a slow but sure deterioration. In 1850, Louis-Justin, last Marquis of Talaru, 25th lord of Chalmazel, peer of France and ambassador, with no heirs, left the castle and the forest to the nuns of the Sœurs de Saint-Joseph, in order to establish a hospital for the *canton* for the care of the sick. The nuns carried out some repair work (roof, round walk, rebuilding a tower) and decoration. Later, they transformed it into a boarding school for children from the school at Chamazel. The nuns finally left the castle in 1972 and rented it to the *commune*, on the condition that it was maintained and opened to the public during the summer months. The castle is now owned by new proprietors who intend to open it to visitors and to create *chambres d\'hôtes* (bed and breakfast accommodation). ## Tourism The castle, with its medieval aspect, has kept the elements of a fortified house from the year 1231, but with all of the later modifications and additions by the Talarus over the centuries: murder-holes, walls, keep, round walk with machicolations - but it also has Renaissance elements: the facade, the inner courtyard, galleries and chapel. The castle is open to visitors from June to September. It is possible to rent rooms and a suite. The Château de Chalmazel is listed as a *monument historique* by the French Ministry of Culture

# 2007 Belgian Grand Prix thumb\|upright=1.5\|right\|The race winner, Ferrari\'s Kimi Räikkönen. The **2007 Belgian Grand Prix** (officially the **2007 Formula 1 ING Belgian Grand Prix**) was the fourteenth race of the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship, returning to the Formula One calendar after a year\'s absence. It was held on 16 September at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, near the village of Francorchamps, Wallonia, Belgium. ## Report ### Background Going into the race, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton led the Drivers\' Championship by three points from teammate Fernando Alonso and Scuderia Ferrari led the Constructors\' Championship by 57 points from BMW Sauber after the exclusion of McLaren from the Constructors\' Championship following the Ferrari/McLaren spy saga. Otherwise McLaren would have been leading the Championship. The race also marked the 100th race start for Australian Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber. ### Practice Ferrari tried the new traffic light system for the first time. ### Qualifying The usual drivers were eliminated in the first qualifying session---Adrian Sutil and Sakon Yamamoto went out in the Spykers along with Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson in the Super Aguris, Rubens Barrichello in the Honda and Sebastian Vettel in the Toro Rosso. The second qualifying session was unusual as six drivers in six different cars were eliminated---Alexander Wurz of Williams, Vitantonio Liuzzi of Toro Rosso, Jenson Button of Honda, David Coulthard of Red Bull Racing. Giancarlo Fisichella of Renault and Ralf Schumacher of Toyota. Fisichella was later relegated right to the back of the grid after changing his engine after qualifying. This left seven different teams in the top 10. Heikki Kovalainen qualified tenth for Renault, just behind Jarno Trulli in the Toyota. Ahead of them were Mark Webber\'s Red Bull and Nick Heidfeld in the BMW Sauber. Nico Rosberg did very well in the Williams to qualify on row 3 alongside Robert Kubica in the second BMW Sauber. However, the Pole was given a ten place grid drop for an engine change. Once again, McLaren and Ferrari occupied the top four places. Fernando Alonso pipped McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton to 3rd place, but Ferrari dominated, with Kimi Räikkönen beating Felipe Massa to get his 14th career pole and lock out the front row for the Italian team. Due to FIA rules about the order in which penalties are applied, Kubica\'s penalty was applied first. This left him 15th and behind Fisichella. Then the Italian\'s penalty was applied, so Kubica ended up 14th. This meant Coulthard, Button and Liuzzi all gained two places as both drivers had been ahead of them. ### Race The order from the start remained fairly unchanged with the Ferraris of Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa led away from Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, although there was a lot of pushing between the McLarens as Hamilton attempted to pass around the outside of turn one, but Alonso pushed him wide onto the tarmac on the outside of the corner. Giancarlo Fisichella\'s Renault suffered a suspension failure on lap 2, making him the first retirement of the race. He had been running last. Also on lap 2, Alexander Wurz spun in the Williams, slipping to the back of the field. Sebastian Vettel soon suffered a handling problem, probably caused by a collision, which eliminated his Toro Rosso from the race on lap 9. Massa briefly took the lead on lap 16, but Räikkönen reclaimed it a lap later after his pitstop. David Coulthard suffered a hydraulic failure in his Red Bull on lap 30. He was quickly followed with a fuel pressure problem for Wurz, who was still last, on lap 35, and the Honda of Jenson Button, which dropped out on lap 37 with another hydraulic failure. Massa once again led for just one lap during Räikkönen\'s second stop, but he retook it the following lap. Räikkönen finally came home to win from Massa, clinching the World Constructors Championship for Ferrari. Alonso, Hamilton, Nick Heidfeld in the BMW Sauber, Nico Rosberg\'s Williams, Mark Webber in the Red Bull and Heikki Kovalainen\'s Renault rounded up the top eight. The only changes from the starting top eight were Heidfeld and Rosberg swapping places and Kovalainen passing Jarno Trulli\'s Toyota to take eighth. The race was overshadowed by the death of former World Rally Champion Colin McRae in a helicopter crash during Saturday\'s qualifying.

# Tom Spencer (cricketer) **Thomas William Spencer** `{{post-nominals|OBE}}`{=mediawiki} (22 March 1914 -- 1 November 1995) was an English first-class sportsman who played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club and association football for Lincoln City in the Football League. He was later a notable cricket umpire who stood in 17 Test matches and six One Day Internationals. ## Cricket career {#cricket_career} ### Playing Spencer played 76 matches for Kent either side of World War II as an attacking batsman. His batting average was 20.11, he took one wicket for 19 runs from the five overs he bowled, and took 36 catches. Although Spencer won his County cap, his career was disrupted by World War II in which he served in the Royal Air Force. ### Umpiring At the suggestion of Frank Chester, Spencer joined the first-class umpire\'s list in 1950 and was appointed to his first Test in 1954. For reasons he never understood he had to wait 15 years before he was asked again. Years later he claimed to have been \"a bit disgusted,\" but that he \"was determined to plod on and become a bloody good county umpire.\" Spencer eventually stood in 17 Test matches, the last in 1978, and six One Day Internationals, including the first ODI at Lord\'s in 1972 and the first World Cup final in 1975. For the last 20 years until his retirement in 1980 he travelled to matches by train rather than car which he said allowed him to rest his eyes between appointments. In all, Spencer stood in a record 570 County Championship matches and 701 first-class fixtures, a total second only to Chester. ## Football career {#football_career} Spencer was with his local club Hastings & St Leonards until September 1933 after which he had a short spell with Bexhill of the Sussex County League. He moved on to Southern League club Tunbridge Wells Rangers and then in July 1936 was signed by Second Division Club Fulham, but he did not make any league appearances for them. In November 1936 Spencer joined Lincoln City of Division 3 North and played in four league matches scoring one goal which he scored on 25 December 1936 against Rotherham United. From the 1937--38 season he returned to playing non-league football in the Kent League, firstly for a season with Ashford and then for the 1938--39 season with Sittingbourne. ## Personal life {#personal_life} Spencer was a natural sportsman. He claimed to have played four sports professionally, the other two being table tennis and boxing. After retiring from cricket he moved into professional coaching at Wrekin School and for many years he spent the northern winter coaching at St. Patrick\'s Christian Brothers\' College, Kimberley in South Africa. Spencer was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1976 Birthday Honours. In later life he lived for many years in the North East. During June 1981 he wrote a series of historic career articles in the Newcastle based Sunday Sun newspaper. His death in 1995 was reported in his local media, but overlooked in the wider cricketing world. His obituary did not appear in *Wisden* or *The Cricketer* until 2003

# 2007 Italian Grand Prix The **2007 Italian Grand Prix** (officially the **Formula 1 Gran Premio d\'Italia 2007**) was a Formula One motor race held on 9 September 2007 at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, Italy. It was the thirteenth race of the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship. Going into the race, McLaren\'s Lewis Hamilton held a 5-point lead over team-mate Fernando Alonso in the Drivers\' Championship, whilst McLaren held an 11-point lead over Ferrari in the Constructors\' Championship. Ferrari were expected to do well at home after a one-two finish in the Turkish GP and Michael Schumacher\'s victory at Monza the previous year. However, McLaren dominated the traditional test session prior to the Grand Prix, with Alonso topping the time sheets on two of the four days and Hamilton and Pedro de la Rosa fastest on the other days. Fernando Alonso took his fourth win of the season, leading home the fourth one-two finish of the season for McLaren as Lewis Hamilton finished second. It was McLaren\'s eighth victory at Monza and Mercedes\' fourth, while Alonso became the first Spaniard to win the Italian Grand Prix. It turned out to be his last win for McLaren, and McLaren\'s last 1-2 finish until the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix. ## Report ### Qualifying The two Spykers of Adrian Sutil and Sakon Yamamoto were both eliminated in Q1, along with Vitantonio Liuzzi in the Toro Rosso, Takuma Sato of Super Aguri, and, surprisingly, the Toyota of Ralf Schumacher and David Coulthard\'s Red Bull. In the second session, both the Toro Rosso of Sebastian Vettel and Anthony Davidson\'s Super Aguri, who had done very well to make the session, were eliminated. So were Giancarlo Fisichella in the Renault, Alexander Wurz of Williams, the Honda of Rubens Barrichello and Coulthard\'s Red Bull teammate Mark Webber. Jenson Button had done excellently to put the Honda in the top 10, and he qualified tenth, on the fifth row with Jarno Trulli\'s Toyota. Nico Rosberg qualified his Williams eighth, alongside the second Renault of Heikki Kovalainen, who had put in a brilliant performance. Robert Kubica took 6th in the BMW Sauber, while his teammate Nick Heidfeld broke the domination of the top 4 by McLaren and Ferrari, beating the Scuderia\'s Kimi Räikkönen to 4th. However, it was service as normal at the very front, with Räikkönen\'s teammate Felipe Massa taking 3rd, and the two McLarens of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso locking out the front row, with the Spaniard just pipping his younger teammate to pole by 0.037 of a second.

# 2007 Italian Grand Prix ## Report ### Race The top three held station from the start, but Kimi Räikkönen\'s Ferrari jumped Nick Heidfeld in the BMW Sauber and moved into fourth. Jarno Trulli was a big loser in the Toyota, slipping from 9th to 13th, while the big winner was David Coulthard, who went from 20th to 15th in the Red Bull. On lap 2, however, Coulthard crashed at Curva Grande, completely negating the influence of his brilliant start and with his car in a dangerous position the crash forced the safety car to be deployed. This allowed the Super Aguri of Anthony Davidson up into 15th. The race\'s only other retirement was Räikkönen\'s teammate Felipe Massa, who retired with a suspension failure on lap 11 after running in third place. This allowed the Finn to move into third and Nico Rosberg to move into the points in his Williams. Lewis Hamilton, running second in the McLaren, had flat-spotted his tyres earlier in the race and complained about vibration, raising fears that it might lead to a puncture similar to what happened previously in Turkey, so the team decided to play it safe and pit slightly earlier than scheduled, on lap 18, dropping Hamilton down to 6th place, behind Räikkönen, the two BMW Saubers of Heidfeld and Robert Kubica, and Heikki Kovalainen\'s Renault. Räikkönen then took the lead as Hamilton\'s teammate Fernando Alonso pitted from the lead on lap 20. Hamilton moved back to third place, behind Räikkönen and Alonso, after the two BMW Saubers and Kovalainen pitted, but as the Ferrari driver emerged from his pitstop, Hamilton was still behind. With the extra grip provided by the softer tyres, Hamilton made a move down the inside of turn one to recover second place from Räikkönen, who didn\'t defend as he had the harder compound tyres and was still suffering from the neck injury he got during his practice accident. Alonso retained the lead. There were no further changes at the front, and Alonso led home by six seconds from Hamilton, with Räikkönen completing the podium. Heidfeld finished in fourth just four seconds ahead of his teammate Kubica, with Rosberg still in close contention in sixth. Kovalainen was seventh, and Jenson Button rounded out the points in a rare foray into the points paying positions for the Honda team.

# 2007 Canadian Grand Prix The **2007 Canadian Grand Prix** (formally the **Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2007**) was a Formula One motor race held on 10 June 2007 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was the sixth race of the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship. The race was won by Lewis Hamilton, starting from pole position, in his first season in the top formula. It was Hamilton\'s first of an eventual record breaking `{{f1stat|HAM|wins}}`{=mediawiki} victories in Formula One. Nick Heidfeld finished second and Alexander Wurz was third, making it the first Grand Prix of the 2007 season that drivers from teams other than Ferrari and McLaren achieved podium positions. It was the final podium of Alexander Wurz\'s career and, `{{as of|2024|lc=y}}`{=mediawiki}, the last achieved by an Austrian driver. The safety car was deployed an unprecedented four times during the course of the race. One of these periods was due to Robert Kubica\'s crash, which resulted in him suffering a sprained ankle and concussion. During the race Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella were disqualified for exiting the pit lane when the red light was on. Both were black flagged, and it was the last time a black flag was shown until Nico Hülkenberg at the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix. ## Report ### Background A test session was held on May 17 and 18 at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France, with the track configured to replicate the characteristics of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the final two days after it had been in the style of the Monaco for the first two. Despite the fact that the McLaren team had dominated on the Monaco set up of the circuit, Ferrari were better on the Canadian set up. Kimi Räikkönen had the fastest time on the first day, with a time of 1:28.833. Rain after lunch caused the test to be halted, when the test resumed Räikkönen was forced to finish early when his car experienced electronic problems. Scott Speed achieved the second fastest time, two tenths of a second behind Räikkönen, with seven tenths separating the first eight drivers. The Red Bull team focused on testing their suspension. Rubens Barrichello and Christian Klien shared testing for the Honda team over the day, however Klien\'s engine failed on his first lap. James Rossiter in the Super Aguri completed the most laps with 115. Räikkönen was also the fastest on the second day with a time of 1:28.624, with Renault driver Giancarlo Fisichella ending the day with the second fastest time. Fisichella also completed 111 laps, the second most of the day, behind James Rossiter\'s 131. Pedro de la Rosa was third fastest despite completing fewer laps than other drivers due to his engine failing early in the day. The testing session was stopped twice, when Adrian Sutil\'s and Jenson Button\'s engines failed. Red Bull continued to perform high and low downforce work and BMW performed low and medium downforce work. Fisichella was optimistic about the race after these tests saying \"he had more grip, the brakes were good and the front suspension gave him a better turn-in\". During the two weeks leading up to the Grand Prix, Räikkönen and Felipe Massa released statements to the press saying they believed that everything would be different in Canada because of the very different conditions---as shown at Paul Ricard. Fernando Alonso believed McLaren had momentum from their win in Monaco, and Martin Whitmarsh said that they were realistic about dominating the race.
