Cropped image from this file. Copyright 1967, Fiction Publishing Company. This file has been cropped and uploaded for the express purpose of illustrating the most well-known form of the Saint stick figure logo, for use on the article Simon Templar. This logo (or variants thereof) appears on virtually every edition of Simon Templar Saint adventures, and was created by the illustrator Eugene Hastain, a friend of the author Leslie Charteris. As a logo of well-known literary franchise, its use in Wikipedia is supported by fair use as it is a unique logo connected to only one franchise. Precedent for use of such logos includes the lead image (as of 3/7/2007) on James Bond of that franchise's 007/gun logo. Per the rules indicated on the Logo image tag (see below), such a logo may be used to illustrate the "item in question" which in this case is Simon Templar and the Saint franchise. There is no possible way the use of this logo in the Wikipedia article could have any effect on the commercial value of said logo or of the magazine from which this version was scanned. The use of this artwork also: 1. reduces the need to use a photograph of one of the actors who has played the role, thereby avoiding fair use issues with regards to an image of a person as well as WP:NPOV issues regarding which portrayer to illustrate and 2. it reduces the need to use a copyrighted book cover as an illustration by instead using a very small component of a 40-year-old magazine cover. |

Anna Vissi (1981 album) | Release | Release
The album was repackaged with the same cover in 1982 to include the bonus song "Mono i agapi", which was the Cypriot entry for the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest sung by Vissi.
The album appeared digitally in its entirety for the first time in 2006 with the Minos EMI remastered edition named 4, since it was her fourth album under the label. The re-release was prompted by Vissi's participation in Eurovision, this time for her entry in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. Previously, numerous tracks of the album were available in CD format only via various compilations by Minos EMI. The 1982 Eurovision entry "Mono i agapi" was also made available on CD in the CD single "Autostop/Mono I Agapi" released in February 2006.
All songs from the album were included in 2007 Anna Vissi box set Back to Time (Complete EMI Years) which charted on the Greek Albums Chart. |

Börringe Priory | Short description | Börringe Priory (), also known as Börringekloster Castle is a medieval Benedictine priory in Svedala in Scania, Sweden. Founded in 1150 when Scania was part of Denmark, the priory was secularized in 1536, the site was developed as a home for the Brahe family. The present large building, known as Börringeklosters slott, was built here in 1763. |
Börringe Priory | Börringe Priory | Börringe Priory
The priory was founded about 1150 under Eskil, Archbishop of Lund, for Benedictine monks. However, by 1231 Börringe Priory is mentioned in Liber Census Daniae as a convent located on the island of Byrdingø in Börringe Lake, on land which Valdemar II of Denmark had once set aside for hunting. The church was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the convent was later also known as St. Mary's Priory.
The building complex began small, but with the income from donations of money and rent properties, the priory was able to expand into three ranges attached to the church forming a four-sided enclosure to separate the nuns from the world. The nuns slept in the dormitory, another range contained a refectory and cellars, and a third was used for laywomen who lived in the priory, often the unmarried daughters or sisters of noble families who lived a religious life but were not strictly bound by the vows the nuns took. Occasionally, a widow exchanged her worldly goods for the opportunity to live out her life at the priory which provided room and board until her death. Housing these women was one source of income for the priory. Other income came from rent properties such as farms. While not specifically mentioned another common source of income was part of the tithes from nearby churches given by the Archdiocese of Lund for the maintenance of the nuns. Lastly the priory might also receive royal support in the form of rights to fishing grounds in Börringe Lake or landing rights for commerce over streams or rivers.
The priory was rebuilt over several decades during the 14th century in the Gothic style out of brick. Religious leadership and the internal running of the community was the responsibility of the prioress, while a prior, often a local noble who paid for the privilege, was responsible for representing the nuns in worldly affairs.
The kingdom of Denmark became Lutheran in 1536 under Christian III, a staunch Protestant. All religious houses and their attendant income properties reverted to the crown for disposition. Börringe Priory was secularized the same year and became an estate which the king gave to the Brahe family with the condition that the former nuns were to be cared for, essentially a home for honourable and noble women. The entire archive was lost. The church was converted into a parish church for the village of Börringe.
In 1551, the former priory estate passed to the nobleman Knud Gedde, and was apparently used as living quarters by tenant farmers. In 1582 it passed to Lady Görvel Sparre who ordered the conventual church demolished, and the materials to be used for the construction of a new parish church closer to the town, which was completed by 1587. The grave of Lady Else Brade from the former priory church was moved under the floor of the new parish church. Usable parts of the former conventual buildings were converted into a large house. |
Börringe Priory | Börringekloster slott | Börringekloster slott
At the beginning of the 16th century, Börringe was owned by Søren Norby, who together with the knight Jens Holgersen Ulfstand of Glimmingehus Castle, led the Danish navy to victory in several battles against Lübeck.
When Scania became a Swedish province at the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, Charles X of Sweden gave Börringe Priory Manor to his illegitimate son, Gustaf Carlson. Charles XI took the property and made it available to the General Governor of Scania, Count Gustaf Otto Stenbock. In 1682, Charles XI exchanged the estate for Herrevad Abbey with Otto Wilhelm von Königsmarck, son of Hans Christoff von Königsmarck, but in 1686, the estate reverted to the crown again.
The Börringe Priory estate was bought by the Beck-Friis family in 1745. In 1763, the remaining house and structures were demolished and replaced by the present building. In 1873 the structure was expanded and renovated into its present appearance. The estate became a joint County (earldom) with Fiholm Castle in Södermanland in 1791 and the Swedish nobility title of Count was awarded to the new owners.
There are no remnants of the former priory to be seen, except for a few fragments from the monastic church now in the Börringe burial ground. |

Hinton station (West Virginia) | Short description | Hinton station is an Amtrak station in Hinton, West Virginia, served by the Cardinal. The station is a former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway depot, and is located in the Hinton Historic District. Constructed in 1892, the brick building includes wood canopies supported by heavy brackets featuring a wood-fan pattern trim.
A December 2007, fire damaged the building, but it reopened a short time later following repairs. The depot is currently undergoing a $1.5-million series of phased repairs and renovations. Work in the early phases included installation of a new slate roof, re-pointing of the brickwork and repairs to the windows and decorative woodwork. A new concrete platform with tactile edging was also installed.
Due to a bend in the adjacent New River, eastbound trains actually head southwest when passing the station (and vice versa). |

Mechanomyogram | The | The mechanomyogram (MMG) is the mechanical signal observable from the surface of a muscle when the muscle is contracted. At the onset of muscle contraction, gross changes in the muscle shape cause a large peak in the MMG. Subsequent vibrations are due to oscillations of the muscle fibres at the resonance frequency of the muscle. The mechanomyogram is also known as the phonomyogram, acoustic myogram, sound myogram, vibromyogram or muscle sound. |
Mechanomyogram | Signal characteristics | Signal characteristics
The MMG is a low frequency vibration that may be observed when a muscle is contracted using suitable measuring techniques. |
Mechanomyogram | Measurement techniques | Measurement techniques
It can be measured using an accelerometer or a microphone placed on the skin over the belly of the muscle. When measured using a microphone, it may be termed the acoustic myogram. |
Mechanomyogram | Uses | Uses
The MMG may provide a useful alternative to the electromyogram (EMG) for monitoring muscle activity. It has a higher signal-to-noise ratio than the surface EMG and thus can be used to monitor muscle activity from deeper muscles without using invasive measurement techniques.
It is currently the subject of research activity into prosthetic control and assistive technologies for the disabled. |
Mechanomyogram | History | History
Muscle sounds were first described in print by the Jesuit scientist Francesco Maria Grimaldi in a posthumous publication of 1665, which influenced the work of the English physician William Hyde Wollaston and the German physicist Paul Erman. The latter enlisted the aid of René Laennec. Mechanical amplification was first employed by Hermann von Helmholtz. The past two centuries of repeated rediscovery and neglect of the phenomenon were summarised by Stokes and Blythe in 2001. |

John Smith (clockmaker) | for | John Smith (1770–1816) was a clockmaker born in Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland.
His most famous clock is in the possession of the Duke of Buccleuch. It is reported to have four dials and shows days of the week and days of the month. The clock can play eight old Scots tunes and every three hours initiates a procession where the Macer of the Lords of Council and Session appears, doffs his cap and then leads fifteen Lords in ceremonial robes across an opening, before re-appearing and replacing his cap. At midnight on Saturday, a plaque appears bearing the legend "Remember Sunday". On Sunday the clock neither strikes nor processes, resuming at midnight.
John Smith of Pittenweem was a superb ingenious craftsman and his clocks generally were of the highest quality. For such a talented clockmaker to come from a small secluded fishing village in Scotland this is no mean achievement. An advertisement is issued by himself in the year 1775, which he informs us, " he was bred in the trade and had never been out of the country." |

Southeastern pocket gopher | Short description | The southeastern pocket gopher (Geomys pinetis) is a species of pocket gopher that is native to the southeastern United States. It occurs in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, where it is the only pocket gopher. |
Southeastern pocket gopher | Description | Description
thumb|left|Closeup of its protruding teeth and fossorial claws
The southeastern pocket gopher is rather smaller than the plains pocket gopher (Geomys bursarius), with a total length of including a tail of about . Males are larger than females and average in weight while the females average . The dorsal fur is cinnamon brown with the underparts rather paler and tinged with buff or reddish-yellow. The feet and tail are white or pale buff. As with other members of this family, the external cheek pouches can be turned inside-out for grooming purposes. It is well adapted for living underground with large, protruding incisor teeth, used for tearing at roots, and powerful claws on the forefeet for digging. |
Southeastern pocket gopher | Distribution and habitat | Distribution and habitat
This gopher is restricted to the southeastern part of the United States, where it occurs in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. It occupies several different dry, sandy habitats; it occurs in sand-hill country with longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) and turkey oak (Quercus laevis), and it also occurs in slightly moister hammocks (low mounds) among the sand-hills with Quercus virginiana and other hardwood trees. Away from the sand dunes, it occurs in longleaf pine woodland and scrubby sand pine (Pinus clausa) habitats. Its presence in any area is obvious because of the numerous piles of sandy soil it pushes to the surface.
The subspecies G. p. mobilensis, found west of the Apalachicola River may represent a distinct species. Genetic studies have shown it to be relatively different genetically from the other subspecies, and G. p. mobilensis have a different species of louse than the nominate subspecies. Lice typically speciate with their host species within the Geomyidae. |
Southeastern pocket gopher | Ecology | Ecology
G. pinetis is a solitary animal and creates shallow tunnels above which are a series of mounds of excavated material. The soil is pushed upwards by the front limbs and chest and creates a fan-shaped mound with the tunnel at one side. The burrow entrance is immediately blocked with soil. These shallow tunnels are connected to a deeper tunnel system by a spiral "staircase". Down below are the food chambers and a nest chamber which may contain dried vegetation and plant fibres.
Breeding takes place in spring and summer, peaking around February/March and June/July. The gestation period is about four weeks and the average litter size is two. Despite this low level of fecundity, the southeastern pocket gopher is a common animal, implying that there is good survivability of the offspring. The presence of green forage in the diet and the fact that owls sometimes feed on them show that the gophers do emerge above ground sometimes. However, predators underground are few, the chief dangers being snakes and weasels.
The southeastern pocket gopher is active throughout the year. It feeds on roots and rhizomes below ground, and on green plants such as grasses, sedges and weeds which it can reach from near the entrance to the burrow. Large quantities of vegetation are gathered and carried back to store chambers in the burrow. Because its burrows promote plant growth, a case can be made that they are farmers. A number of arthropods share the burrows with the gophers, including about fourteen species that are found nowhere else. The gophers are attracted to cultivated land, particularly sweet potato crops, and can also be a pest in peanut and pea crops, and sugarcane plantations. |

The constant threat of the Portuguese Empire expanding from Colonial Brazil westward into the region was virtually impossible to deter, due to the lack of permanent Spanish settlement along the frontier. This, coupled with the possibility of attacks by the indigenous peoples defending their homelands and perhaps motivated by the Portuguese, convinced the Spanish Crown to establish this new jurisdiction in the recently founded city of Montevideo.
Despite the fact that Montevideo was in those days a small village of minor significance, military considerations took precedence. The city's importance was soon elevated by its regional strategic value.
At its creation, the jurisdiction's direct control did not extend beyond (two days on a horse). This zone was, in fact, the only area brought under effective royal control in the Banda Oriental. |

On June 23, 1814, Argentine and Uruguayan troops under the command of Carlos María de Alvear entered Montevideo, ending Spanish colonial control of the city. The Supreme Directorate of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, the revolutionary government of the Río de la Plata, maintained the office of governor of Montevideo, designating its successors:
Nicolás Rodríguez Peña (July to August, 1814)
Miguel Estanislao Soler (August, 1814 to February, 1815)
On February 25, 1815, Argentine troops abandoned Montevideo to the forces of José Gervasio Artigas, who designated two delegate governors during his rule of Uruguay. These were the last two officials to hold the title:
Fernando Otorgués (February to July, 1815)
Miguel Barreiro (July, 1815 to January, 1817)
The office came to an end with the second Portuguese invasion of Uruguay in July 1816. |
