Two-way player. Background In Major League Baseball (MLB), there are few true two-way players, as position players generally do not pitch, and most pitchers are poor batters. In the American League especially, the two-way player has mostly ceased to exist, as the designated hitter (DH) rule allows a team to have a designated batter bat in place of the pitcher. In the National League, pitchers still have to bat for themselves, but they are usually poor batters. In 2017, the average batting average for all of MLB was .255. The average batting average for pitchers was .124, significantly worse than the league average.

Two-way players are still common in college baseball, with the John Olerud Award being given to the best two-way player of the season. However, by the major league level, a player is usually better at either pitching or batting, and rarely is given the chance to do both.

He has been used as a DH on days that he does not pitch. Ohtani was named the 2018 American League Rookie of the Year after being the first player since Babe Ruth to hit at least 20 home runs and pitch at least 50 innings in the same season. Two years later, in 2021, Ohtani became the first player ever to make the MLB All-Star game as both a pitcher and designated hitter, and would finish the year with 46 home runs and a 158 OPS+ as a hitter, and a 3.18 ERA on the mound, winning the AL MVP award unanimously.

VUHL 05. Characteristics The body of the car is fully made in carbon fiber, mounted on a bonded aluminium monocoque chassis (aluminium honeycomb with 6061-T6 aluminium extrusions), which are both made at their facilities in Querétaro. A hybrid aluminum - carbon monocoque chassis is available as an option. It started life with a Ford sourced 240-hp 2,000 cc four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, with an option of 285 HP similar to the previous one but with an optimized induction system and re-calibrated ECU; from 2018 to date it uses a Ford sourced 320-hp 2,300 cc four-cylinder EcoBoost engine with a 360-hp calibration available as performance option. It has a clearing distance of from the ground and its static weight distribution is 37% at the front and 63% at the back. The VUHL 05 reaches a maximum speed of and accelerates from 0 to in 3.7 seconds. It also decelerates from to 0 in , thanks to a bespoke high-performance aluminum Alcon braking system with discs in all four corners.

VUHL 05. VUHL 05RR On June 13, 2016 the VUHL 05RR prototype was presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2016, as an uprated version of the 05 with a clear focus towards an enhanced track experience. It was until the Race Of Champions México, in January 2019 that the production-ready VUHL 05RR was unveiled. The RR designation stands for Road and Race, an indication of the car’s focused character and supercar level performance. Compared to the standard 05, weight is reduced by 65 kg to 660 kg dry. The output of the 2,300 cc turbocharged inline-4 is increased to 400 hp and 380 lb-ft. These figures give a power-to-weight ratio of 600 hp/tonne, which coupled with the sequential paddle shift gearbox, results in a 0-60 time of 2.7 seconds.

Margaret More (composer)
Margaret More (composer). Early years Margaret More, often called "Peggy", was born in 1903 to English parents William and Alice More in Crown Lodge in Harlech, North Wales. Her interest in music showed early, but she was not an infant prodigy. It became clear that her main concern was composition; she had no interest whatever in a career as a performer. She was educated at home by a governess, who gave her a grounding in musical theory and encouraged her ambition.

In her early teen-years More became friends with the composer Joseph Holbrooke who at that time was living in Harlech. He introduced her to the work of Debussy and gave her the recently published Préludes and Children's Corner. These had a lasting effect on More's own work. It was also through Holbrooke that she met her future husband Raymond Bantock, who was a writer.

Margaret More (composer). Career In the mid-1920s Margaret More left Harlech to spend a year in London, where she attended Trinity College of Music and studied composition with Edward d’Evry. It was while living in London that she met the poet Claudine Currey, who later became the mother-in-law of her brother Jack. Currey had recently written a libretto, The Little Mermaid (pub. Elkin Mathews 1925), based on the 1837 Hans Christian Andersen story, The Sea Maid, and this became the starting point for More's first major work, a grand opera: The Mermaid. She collaborated with the librettist for several years and the opera was finished, unorchestrated and unperformed, in 1929. More would frequently play parts of the work to invited audiences of friends, however. The opera was finally orchestrated in 1950 and performed in its entirety in 1951 by the Barfield Grand Opera Society in Birmingham, as part of the city's contribution to the Festival of Britain.

She continued to live at Crown Lodge until she married Raymond Bantock, second son of the composer Granville Bantock, in 1930. Thereafter she spent most of her life in the Midlands at Barnt Green, near Birmingham, where she raised her family. Contact with Harlech was maintained through summer holidays spent at Traethdy in the dunes. Later she restored a stone cottage, Hen Gaerffynnon, to the south of Harlech where she was able to compose in solitude.

Music took second place but she composed Matris Carmina, a suite of six works for piano and recorder, each piece dedicated to a particular child. During the war the family returned to Harlech for three years, living at Traethdy. The composer ran a school in the village and wrote music for school concerts and a Christmas performance n the Memorial Hall.

Her sister-in-law, Myrrha Hawkes, at that time living in South Africa, invited her to compose music for a children's Christmas entertainment based on Hans Andersen's story: The Snow Queen. The story was dramatized and the lyrics written by Michael Martin-Harvey, the son of the actor Sir John Martin-Harvey. Michael Martin-Harvey had been an old friend of Raymond Bantock's, dating from Oxford in the 1920s. This new work was performed during several Christmas seasons in Johannesburg in the late 1940s.

The idea behind this new departure was based on an early engraving of Andersen reading one of his stories at a table, with listeners sitting round in semi-circle. The image was re-interpreted with Martin-Harvey dressed as Andersen as narrator, with singers, in costume, seated on either side. Martin-Harvey wrote the lyrics and freely adapted the stories for this new art form. Margaret More composed the music for piano, which she played on stage.

Other stories that were adapted over the next few years were The Nightingale, The Swineherd, Old Lukoie, It’s Quite True, Punchinello, and Five out of One Pod. The Players performed widely at a range of venues in the Midlands and in Berkshire where Martin-Harvey lived: the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the Birmingham and Midland Institute and The Birmingham Theatre School, as well as various school halls, village halls and theatres. In 1957 the Players were invited to tour Denmark through the aegis of the Danish Consulate in Birmingham. The tour involved several weeks and most of the larger towns in the country, which much of the time spent in Aarhus.

The Rockingham Mausoleum
The Rockingham Mausoleum. The Rockingham Mausoleum, Wentworth, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England is a cenotaph commemorating Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, who was Prime Minister at the time of his death in 1782. The name by which the memorial is now known is in fact a misnomer, since Charles Watson-Wentworth is buried in York Minster. Eighteenth and nineteenth century sources refer to the edifice simply as "the Monument".

The Rockingham Mausoleum. The architect chosen for the Rockingham Mausoleum was John Carr of York, who had already built the stable block at Wentworth Woodhouse for Lord Rockingham himself. Carr was to do a great deal of work for Lord Fitzwilliam, notably alterations to the side pavilions and to the west elevation of Wentworth Woodhouse. He submitted a number of options for the monument, some of which were based on the concept of an obelisk. The three-storey design ultimately selected for the Rockingham Mausoleum may have been inspired by the Mausoleum of the Julii at St Remy de Provence, Glanum near Arles, France. As executed, it is a combination of a cenotaph and a Temple of Friendship, housing within it a statue by Joseph Nollekens of Rockingham himself in Garter robes with upraised hand.

Building started in 1785 and took four years to complete. accounts record regular small payments to local artisans and more infrequent but larger disbursements to better-known craftsmen such as Nollekens. The building was enclosed by a fence of 743 iron railings commissioned from the Rotherham iron-founders Samuel Walker and Company. Finally, in 1792 four obelisks, which had previously stood on the West side of the Woodhouse, were relocated to the Monument and placed inside the enclosure.

The monument is the property of the Fitzwilliam Wentworth Amenity Trust, which completed its restoration in the 1980s with the aid of compensation from British Coal and a grant from English Heritage. It only became possible to undertake this work when local coal mining operations had come to an end, making it safe to remove iron clamps which had kept the building stable while mining was in progress. The monument was opened to the public for the first time in 1991.

Listed buildings in Oldham. Until the coming of the Industrial Revolution, Oldham was a small settlement in an agricultural region. By the early 19th century, it had become an important centre for handloom weaving. The cotton spinning industry grew, initially though small firms, and later by large mills. By the late 19th century "Oldham was the leading mill town in the world". In the town were the factories of Platt Brothers, who were the largest manufacturers of cotton processing machines in the world. Many of the cotton mills were designed by members of the firm of Stott and Sons. Since the decline of the cotton industry, many mills have been demolished, and others have been converted for other uses.

Then came houses with facilities for domestic weaving, with workshop windows in the upper storeys, and later the large cotton mills. As the wealth of the town grew, so did the buildings, including churches, civic buildings and commercial buildings. Local philanthropists contributed to some of the buildings, and they are commemorated in memorials.

Continuous-variable quantum information
Continuous-variable quantum information. Continuous-variable (CV) quantum information is the area of quantum information science that makes use of physical observables, like the strength of an electromagnetic field, whose numerical values belong to continuous intervals. One primary application is quantum computing. In a sense, continuous-variable quantum computation is "analog", while quantum computation using qubits is "digital." In more technical terms, the former makes use of Hilbert spaces that are infinite-dimensional, while the Hilbert spaces for systems comprising collections of qubits are finite-dimensional. One motivation for studying continuous-variable quantum computation is to understand what resources are necessary to make quantum computers more powerful than classical ones.

Continuous-variable quantum information
Continuous-variable quantum information. Implementation One approach to implementing continuous-variable quantum information protocols in the laboratory is through the techniques of quantum optics. By modeling each mode of the electromagnetic field as a quantum harmonic oscillator with its associated creation and annihilation operators, one defines a canonically conjugate pair of variables for each mode, the so-called "quadratures", which play the role of position and momentum observables. These observables establish a phase space on which Wigner quasiprobability distributions can be defined. Quantum measurements on such a system can be performed using homodyne and heterodyne detectors.

Continuous-variable quantum information. Quantum teleportation of continuous-variable quantum information was achieved by optical methods in 1998. (Science deemed this experiment one of the "top 10" advances of the year.) In 2013, quantum-optics techniques were used to create a "cluster state", a type of preparation essential to one-way (measurement-based) quantum computation, involving over 10,000 entangled temporal modes, available two at a time. In another implementation, 60 modes were simultaneously entangled in the frequency domain, in the optical frequency comb of an optical parametric oscillator.

Continuous-variable quantum information. Applications Continuous-variable quantum systems can be used for quantum cryptography, and in particular, quantum key distribution. Quantum computing is another potential application, and a variety of approaches have been considered. The first method, proposed by Seth Lloyd and Samuel L. Braunstein in 1999, was in the tradition of the circuit model: quantum logic gates are created by Hamiltonians that, in this case, are quadratic functions of the harmonic-oscillator quadratures. Later, measurement-based quantum computation was adapted to the setting of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Yet a third model of continuous-variable quantum computation encodes finite-dimensional systems (collections of qubits) into infinite-dimensional ones. This model is due to Daniel Gottesman, Alexei Kitaev and John Preskill.

Continuous-variable quantum information
Continuous-variable quantum information. Classical emulation In all approaches to quantum computing, it is important to know whether a task under consideration can be carried out efficiently by a classical computer. An algorithm might be described in the language of quantum mechanics, but upon closer analysis, revealed to be implementable using only classical resources. Such an algorithm would not be taking full advantage of the extra possibilities made available by quantum physics. In the theory of quantum computation using finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, the Gottesman–Knill theorem demonstrates that there exists a set of quantum processes that can be emulated efficiently on a classical computer. Generalizing this theorem to the continuous-variable case, it can be shown that, likewise, a class of continuous-variable quantum computations can be simulated using only classical analog computations. This class includes, in fact, some computational tasks that use quantum entanglement. When the Wigner quasiprobability representations of all the quantities—states, time evolutions and measurements—involved in a computation are nonnegative, then they can be interpreted as ordinary probability distributions, indicating that the computation can be modeled as an essentially classical one. This type of construction can be thought of as a continuum generalization of the Spekkens Toy Model.

Continuous-variable quantum information
Continuous-variable quantum information. Classical emulation Occasionally, and somewhat confusingly, the term "continuous quantum computation" is used to refer to a different area of quantum computing: the study of how to use quantum systems having finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces to calculate or approximate the answers to mathematical questions involving continuous functions. A major motivation for investigating the quantum computation of continuous functions is that many scientific problems have mathematical formulations in terms of continuous quantities. A second motivation is to explore and understand the ways in which quantum computers can be more capable or powerful than classical ones. The computational complexity of a problem can be quantified in terms of the minimal computational resources necessary to solve it. In quantum computing, resources include the number of qubits available to a computer and the number of queries that can be made to that computer. The classical complexity of many continuous problems is known. Therefore, when the quantum complexity of these problems is obtained, the question as to whether quantum computers are more powerful than classical can be answered. Furthermore, the degree of the improvement can be quantified. In contrast, the complexity of discrete problems is typically unknown. For example, the classical complexity of integer factorization is unknown.

Continuous-variable quantum information
Continuous-variable quantum information. Classical emulation One example of a scientific problem that is naturally expressed in continuous terms is path integration. The general technique of path integration has numerous applications including quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, and computational finance. Because randomness is present throughout quantum theory, one typically requires that a quantum computational procedure yield the correct answer, not with certainty, but with high probability. For example, one might aim for a procedure that computes the correct answer with probability at least 3/4. One also specifies a degree of uncertainty, typically by setting the maximum acceptable error. Thus, the goal of a quantum computation could be to compute the numerical result of a path-integration problem to within an error of at most ε with probability 3/4 or more. In this context, it is known that quantum algorithms can outperform their classical counterparts, and the computational complexity of path integration, as measured by the number of times one would expect to have to query a quantum computer to get a good answer, grows as the inverse of ε.

In Vedic literature it was called Shravani. On this day, before the study of Vedas in Gurukulas, Yajñopavita - sacred thread - is worn. This ceremony is called Upanayana or Upakarma Sanskar. The oldYajñopavita is also changed on this day. Priests also tie raksha-sutras to the hosts. Rishis are the original source of Sanskrit literature, hence Shravani Purnima is celebrated as Rishi Parv and World Sanskrit Day. This day was chosen because the academic year in ancient India started on this day. On this day the students start the study of Vedas in the gurukulas. From the full moon of the month of Paush to the full moon of the month of Shraavana, the studies are stopped to learn other vedantic scriptures. This tradition is still unbroken in modern Vedic schools.

Ladies of the Lights
Ladies of the Lights. Overview As the new assistant director/curator at the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame in 2007, Patricia Majher built a traveling exhibit based on the 2003 article “Mystery at Sand Point Lighthouse” written by historian Kathy Mason. The enthusiasm generated in Michigan by the exhibit prompted Majher to compile her research findings into a book, released by the University of Michigan Press in 2010. There is a background chapter on the first recorded women lighthouse keepers, Irish nuns of the St. Anne's convent in County Cork who maintained the Youghal lighthouse during the years 1190–1542, and the first American woman lighthouse keeper in 1775 at Boston Harbor when Hannah Thomas assumed her husband's lighthouse keeper duties as he went to war. The book covers the lives and light keeper duties of individual Michigan women who served in their positions for the years 1849-1954. Included in the book are salary, duties, and hardships that came with the post, both to the women who officially held the positions, as well as women who unofficially served in that capacity when their lightkeeper husbands were unable to. The author provides insight into family life for lighthouse keepers.
