Harry Potter: 3D
IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures today announced that select scenes of the IMAX DMR® version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be digitally converted into An IMAX 3D Experience®. IMAX Corporation plans to use its proprietary 2D to 3D conversion technology to transform approximately 20 minutes at the end of the film - which is being digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® using IMAX DMR (Digital Re-Mastering) technology - into IMAX® 3D. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released in IMAX® theatres and conventional theatres on July 13, 2007, and Warner Bros. Pictures will be the exclusive distributor of the film to IMAX theatres worldwide.
The film is based on the best-selling J.K. Rowling book and is the fifth installment of the widely successful "Harry Potter" film series. The previous installment of the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which opened on November 18, 2005, shattered numerous IMAX 2D box office records at the time and has grossed more than $20 million in IMAX theatres worldwide. "We are so pleased to be bringing audiences yet another outstanding 'Harry Potter' film to the big screen in both 35mm and IMAX theaters," said Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. "This is the studio's biggest franchise to date, and we expect this highly-anticipated fifth film to play phenomenally well in all theaters throughout the summer." "The 'Harry Potter' films are an enormous draw all over the world, and this film should prove to be no different," added Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures International. "The last 20 minutes in IMAX 3D will add a new element of excitement to the Harry Potter experience, making this a must-see for fans of all ages. We're looking forward to a long and very successful run." "We couldn't be happier to help bring this Harry Potter film to life in a new way," said IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "IMAX theatres are the only place to experience this year's most anticipated movies in the world's most immersive format, and we anticipate that moviegoers will want to enjoy 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' featuring scenes in IMAX 3D more than once." "We are delighted to once again work with David Heyman and the Harry Potter team, and Warner Bros. Pictures on another memorable Harry Potter movie," added Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "We know that through the magic of IMAX, fans will already feel as is if they are right next to Harry, Ron and Hermione in IMAX's larger-than-life 2D format, and we are thrilled to treat them to an even more immersive experience with the finale of the film brought to you in IMAX 3D."

I've made it a habit to go see films at IMAX if they're offered. Huge difference that's worth the price of admission.

I saw the last HP movie in IMAX, and 300...both were pretty impressive.

The Prussian military thinker Carl von Clausewitz is widely acknowledged as the most important of the classical strategic thinkers. Even though he's been dead for nearly two centuries, he remains a powerful living influence: the most frequently cited, the most controversial, and in many respects the most modern of strategic theorists. This website is intended as a central source for information, articles, and arguments about the man and his ideas. It is designed to accommodate anyone interested in understanding human strategies, including not only scholarly researchers on Clausewitz but also students and faculty in professional military education (PME) institutions, business schools, and other organizations concerned with human competition and conflict. For a general description of The Clausewitz Homepage and its contents, click here.
This book is built around a new and complete translation of Carl von Clausewitz's study of the Waterloo campaign (Berlin: 1835) and the Duke of Wellington's detailed 1842 response to it. It contains Wellington's initial battle report; two of Clausewitz's post-battle letters to his wife Marie; correspondence within Wellington's circle concerning Clausewitz's work; Clausewitz's 58-chapter campaign study; Wellington's 7000-word memorandum in response; and enlightening essays by the editors. The Campaign of 1815 was Clausewitz's last campaign study and its findings were never incorporated into his famous treatise On War. Thus, since this is the first published English translation, most readers will find it new material.
Navigating this Website
The Clausewitz Homepage contains over 4000 text and image files. If you know exactly what you're looking for, you can do an on-line Search or use the Table of Contents at left (or use the somewhat more detailed Site Index). Otherwise, the easiest and most informative way to navigate the site is to read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Our short answers include links to the most relevant materials. Our FAQs include: 2. What did he do to get so famous? 3. Why are people still so interested in his ideas today? 4. Why are Clausewitz's ideas so controversial? 5. What ARE Clausewitz's ideas? 6. Where can I find some choice quotations? 7. Which translation of Clausewitz's work is the best? (and Which translation do I have?) Filmclips from German History

Questions & Answers
Skyline Furniture Slip Cover Upholstered Headboard
Happy with it! Lee from Bristol, VA– Verified Buyer Cost less tan I thought, shipped free, no tax, and exactly what I was looking for! |
white slipcovered headboard Erin from Charlottesville, VA– Verified Buyer The headboard was a great price but looks expensive. It looks great in our guest room and the white coordinates with anything! |
Very nice. nanette from Belvedere Tiburon, CA– Verified Buyer Yes this headboard is very nice. Simple and classic. Came in nice box easy to move and put together. Only slight difficulty is the slip cover is a little tight but otherwise a lovely look. |
Overall a good nice looking headboard Jacquie from Oregon– Verified Buyer Overall this is a good headboard and I put it together by myself. All parts were available too. I am having trouble getting it to stay even, it has slipped on one side. That means you have to take the cover off, which even though I got it on by myself, I don't see getting it off by myself at all. I do hope the place the top bolt goes into has not slipped because that section is wood. |
Headboard T from Oklahoma The headboard is a great quality for a great price. I will say that if you have a thicker mattress like we do the mattress wont fit under the headboard and will hang over just a little bit. |
HeadboardSlipcover Susan from Donalsonville, GA– Verified Buyer Excellent quality. Will use slipcover as a pattern to make my own. Easy to attach to bed frame. Arrived on time. |
Good for the price Lauren P from Brookline, MA This headboard is solidly constructed and simple to put together, but I am deducting a star because the slipcover that came with it doesn't really look that great when on. I actually ended up just removing it as the base of the headboard looks great and I don't think it's really necessary to have it on. I guess if anything ever happens to the headboard (stains, spills) we can just put it on, but for now I definitely prefer the look without it. Anyway, the price of this headboard is great when you consider the $500 price tag at places like West Elm, Crate and Barrel, etc. Overall, I recommend it. |
A great headboard! Susan from Richmond, VA– Verified Buyer Super easy to assemble. Definitely need four hands to put the slip cover on but not too difficult. I bought the white one and it looks great. |
Perfect for my daughterss room a buyer from Rumson, NJ– Verified Buyer The crisp white slipcover looks great with her printed pillows--easy to put together, nice fit on the slipcover--great price point. |
LIke how well the cover fit Connie from Florida– Verified Buyer I am very happy with this headboard. I had 2 duvets covers and used one for the headboard. I love how the duvet and the headboard are matching and how it fit great. One downside, I have legs on my bed and not a metal frame, so I can't attach to bed the headboard. I have it pushed up to the bed and wall. Also online It said in stock, but ended on back order because they had to make the headboard. |

Martin was only a fourth grader, and maybe that had something to do with it, but really, it was the curtains that wouldn't budge. They were gold brocaded velvet, and they were beautiful to look at, but start working them in across the traverse rod and they became as ponderous as wet laundry. At the far right of the stage, Martin was up there grunting, actually grunting. He was red-faced and the curtains weren't going anywhere. Cruelty, inattention.

Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- Former Gwinnett Commissioner and bribery suspect Kevin Kenerly cleared a financial hurdle Wednesday when a judge allowed the dismissal of his bankruptcy case, but he still faces losing the only asset he has left -- a lavish home in Chateau Elan.
Kenerly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Georgia in December, citing less than $50,000 in assets and $3.5 million in debt. Those debts included $1.6 million he owed on the 15,000 square-foot Braselton home, $700,000 for a property in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and roughly $67,000 on three vehicles.
In a hearing Wednesday morning, Atlanta attorney George Geeslin, who represents Kenerly in the bankruptcy matter, said his client now has no unsecured debt, or debts that would allow lenders to seize other assets.
The only asset Kenerly has left is the nine-bedroom mansion, which Geeslin categorized as "way underwater." Kenerly listed the property for sale at $2.8 million. It sits on the sixth hole of the Legends Championship Golf Course and includes a 40-foot pool, four-car garage and spacious home theatre.
After some delays, Kenerly's bank has agreed to discuss a home loan modification that could allow him relief, Geeslin said.
"If the loan modification works out, good," Geeslin told a judge. "If not, (Kenerly) will lose his house."
Attorney David Weidenbaum, representing the U.S. Trustee's Office, said no creditors opposed having Kenerly's bankruptcy case dismissed.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Barbara Ellis-Monro granted an order to dismiss Kenerly's case.
Kenerly made his career in the real estate business, which was ravaged by housing and financial crises in recent years. His safety net, Chapter 11 bankruptcy, involves a reorganization of a debtor's business affairs and assets.
After 16 years on the board, Kenerly resigned as Gwinnett's longest-serving commissioner in 2010, facing an indictment on a bribery charge. He's accused of accepting a $1 million bribe from a developer for working out a favorable deal for the county to purchase land for a park.
He also faces two misdemeanor counts of failure to disclose a financial interest in two zoning cases dealing with the same developer.
Outside the courtroom, Geeslin said that while Kenerly's legal woes are hardly resolved, "This chapter of it is done." Regarding his overall situation, Kenerly said he's moving forward "day to day." They declined further comment.

So he gets away scott free just like all the other financial bandits? No way this man doesn't have millions in stolen loot from shady, corrupt deals stashed all over the place. This is an example of why trust in county government is at an all time low.
Thanks Kevin!

I especially love the "$50K" worth of assets disclosure. What a joke! He has that in sports memorabilia alone. I am curious how he is to continue making payments on his loan modification. I guess we will find out huh!

Sorry I have no sympathy for this man. I lost my job because of his "dirty" underhand dealings with the Cool Ray field. Let him go pitch a tent on the Cool Ray field.

Pretty easy to point fingers now, but why in the Almighty's Name did District voters keep re-electing him, even after SEEING him gambling in Las Vegas (via video recordings) on the developer's dime that was (allegedly) bribing him all the way along? We the People give these folks authority over us, and WE seem to have made awfully stupid and repetitive choices here. WE handed him the keys and turned a blind eye, and it's ALL his fault? Maybe it's time that the miniscule uninformed voter turnout were held accountable?

Probably the same type that will vote Mike B even after this one of many gems ...
Something that happened in 2008 was a long, long time ago while in the process of NOT directly answering the original question?
No one else has control here at all; truly it's just the candidate himself.

The last I heard he was working for a small firm that does business with the county. No surprise there. I would not be surprised to find out that Lasseter ends up running a "non-profit" drug rehab center, funded in part with county taxpayer dollars. The Gluttonous Heathens always take care of their own--usually at taxpayer expense.

If this were you or I, our house would be in foreclosure. Being he is a real restate crook, they will give him a pass. Since he won't be in bankruptcy, he should be made to repay what he stole plus interest. What joker needs a 15,000 sf house? Does he think he is a movie star? The people must make note of the judges that have been involved in this case so they do not get re-elected again or we need to put pressure on the politician that appointed them to their post. Kenerely is laughing at every single one of us. A crook gets off scott-free. Since he is not bankrupt, he must have a lot of hidden cash after all this time running around free. Why aren't the creditors taking his land and other needless assets? They are all together in this believe me. Kenerly is one of "the boys" tat can do whatever he want to do and get away with it. He should be banned from politics.

Why doesn't KK sell his house to the county or the school system for 20 million dollars? There is precendent for both wildly overpaying for land to help friends and relatives. Better yet, he could just offer it as a place for the Falcon's to play and get 100 million for it.

How'd he do it? He didn't - YOU DID! If you lived in Gwinnett prior to 2008...
newresident 1 year, 6 months ago
Well here it is again. Someone has to be paying his bills and legal fees. The whole time he has been going on big vacations all over while under bankrupcy. He was able to continue on with his regular life that I or any normal person could have done. Makes you think that maybe there are persons who are assisting him with money so that he will stay quiet about all the truth of Gwinnett County government and their commissions that run things behind the scenes. As I have been told by many older people who have lived here for years, the government is just dirty and crooked. This proves it out fully along with the other cases that have occurred. I just wish that they would continue to investagate deeper into these allegations and spread into the appointed commissions since they control high dollar functions in many cases with contractors very willing to pay money under the table to do work. And some people wonder why so many today have no faith in their elected officials. Things like this shows exactly why.

Survey respondents indicated that the implementation of the FSB standards has been substantively completed and that progress on further embedding the reforms within the business culture of the firm would continue.

On the contrary, a 3 per cent leverage ratio is now an integral part of the Basel III framework and is being implemented, with support from the industry, in all major jurisdictions, including the EU."

Fed Exit Plans, Downshift in EM Growth to Reduce Private Capital Flows to Emerging Market Countries
IIF flagship report highlights rise in private capital outflows from emerging economies, projected to reach $1 trillion in 2013
June 26, 2013 — Net capital inflows to emerging economies have seen a retrenchment in recent months and are forecast to decline this year and next.

Hung Tran, IIF Executive Managing Director, noted that "investors have become increasingly concerned about the market impact of the Fed's exit from accommodative monetary conditions, particularly against the backdrop of slower growth in key emerging economies. A further rise in global interest rates would also present challenges for EM policymakers—particularly in countries facing the aftermath of a long period of strong credit growth."

Global economic recovery is too reliant on central bank liquidity
March 7, 2013 — In its March edition of the Capital Markets Monitor, published today, the IIF warns that "political and policy uncertainties have intensified" in the last month, strengthening the headwinds against the nascent global economic recovery. Central banks have committed themselves to do 'whatever it takes' to stabilize financial markets and economies, but political deadlock represents a risk to this stabilization. The critical problem resulting from prolonged political stalemate is that essential policy reforms could be delayed – with the consequence that wider investor confidence may be undermined.
IIF releases its Latin America Regional Overview at the annual Latin American CEO meeting

This broad message was conveyed to the G20 (currently under the presidency of Russia), in the IIF's latest Policy Letter, released at a press briefing in Washington, D.C. today. Tim Adams, the Managing Director of the IIF, said at the briefing: "We would like to bring to the attention of the G20 several important issues which, if not promptly addressed, would seriously hinder the global economy from exiting the financial crisis and attaining sustainable growth."
IIF Publishes New Edition of Flagship Report, Capital Flows to Emerging Market Economies
January 22, 2013 — The IIF today publishes its authoritative report, Capital Flows to Emerging Market Economies. Private capital flows to emerging economies have revived strongly since mid-2012, thanks to a more risk-friendly attitude by investors. This turnaround was also supported by policy actions, including aggressive monetary easing in mature economies, and also strong fundamentals in emerging market economies. We estimate that overall flows dipped slightly in 2012 year-on-year, to $1,080 billion (against flows in 2011 of $1,084 billion), despite the strong pick-up in momentum in 2012H2.

Hi: 17° Lo:5° 7 day
BOROUGH council stalwart Gordon Collett has died aged 81.
The former councillor of 34 years passed away yesterday (Sunday) after a battle with cancer.
Mr Collett first became a borough councillor in 1973, holding the seat for Leam Valley ward from then until stepping down in 2007.
Between 1977 and 1978 he was Mayor, and he had two stints as council leader from 1978 to 1987, and again from 1989 to 1995.
He was also a county councillor for Warwickshire, serving Dunchurch ward for many years until stepping down in 2009.
During his time as a councillor, Mr Collett campaigned on many rural issues and was involved in the earliest discussions of the Western Relief Road when it was first suggested 30 years ago.
In the council chamber he was known for his quips, called 'Collettisms'. Remarks of his included: "A pig with one ear can't walk straight."

FROM THE MISSOURI TO THE PACIFIC.... VIII. The Mormon Pioneers—How They Began and How They Have Prospered—Their Present Numbers—The City of the Future—The Fruit Gardens—A Visit to Great Salt Lake—Brigham Young's School—His Children—His Wives,Tem-poral and Spiritual—Polygamy : How the Wives Regard it—How the Problem will be Solved—A Portrait of Brigham. From Our Special Correspondent. GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Monday, June 19, 1865. It will be eighteen years, on the 24th of July, since the first Mormons arrived in this lonely region. Their prophet killed, themselves exiles from Missouri and Illinois, after a weary journey of many months, they reached this basin to struggle for existence with the unkindly soil, with Indians and with Mexicans. They claim that they left the Missouri River with no definite point of settlement; that on the route, in a vision Brigham Young saw a beautiful, mountain-guarded Valley which Heaven assured him was their future home; that on coming in view of Ensign Peak, the Jordan and the Great Salt Lake he instantly exclaimed "Here is the spot." They numbered 143, including four women. Imme-diately upon arrival they knelt down and thanked God for his guidance and protection. The same day they commenced plowing. An old trader, the only white man in this region, declared that he would give a thousand dollars for the first ear of corn they could raise from this parched and barren soil. But there is always a future for settlers who pray and then go to plowing. How this strange beginning carries one back to that other despised band which once landed at Plymouth on a dreary December morning ? Snowy Winters and rainless Summers, hostile Indians and all-devouring grasshoppers did not dishearten the Mormons. They learned this new agriculture; estab-lished homes; began to have cattle upon a thousand hills; contributed largely from their lean purses to the Church, sending missionaries all over the world. The great deluge of California migration furnished a mar-ket for their grain and beef. Even Johnston's army, sent out to restrain and, if needful, to subdue them, purchased their crops and added to their wealth. Later, the silver mines of Nevada, and the gold discoveries of Colorado, Idaho and Montana (the last among the richest placer diggings in the world) have contributed vastly to their prosperity. How can farmers fail to grow rich when flour commands $10 per hundred throughout the year ? Now a population of 100,000 is claimed for Utah and 20,000 for this city. Perhaps the last figures are too large, but already this is the most populous, as it is the most beautiful, town between St. Louis and San Fran-cisco. During the year ending June 1, Ben. Holladay's Overland Express took $ 1,612,979 67 in gold dust hence to the States—though only a small fraction of the gold goes in by express. Last year a single merchant sold upward of $1,000,000 worth of goods, and paid for freight alone from the Missouri River over $150,000. This is the City of the Future. Here is the field of agri-culture, the focus of commerce, the pathway of empire. Indeed, this treeless desert has been made to blossom as the rose. The other evening a Mormon friend turned us loose among his delicious strawberries and juicy cherries. Apricots, peaches, plums, pears and apples were all ripening upon his trees. Right beside them, just beyond his inclosure, the dreary sage bush was growing on the dry, sandy soil; and four years ago, what is now his garden was an unbroken desert like the rest. In his house the caterpillars were making silk. The linen of his coat and pantaloons was woven in his own dwelling from his own flax, and his underclothing was manufactured in a factory of Brigham Young's from cotton grown in the southern counties. On Wednesday we visited the Great Salt Lake, 20 miles hence. It is 120 miles long, containing six or seven islands, all of rugged mountains. At low water three gallons of its fluid will produce one of fine, clear salt. The fact that while four fresh-water rivers flow in, it has no visible outlet, gives rise to many theories. We found it delightful to swim in, though unpleasantly buoyant. It is claimed that one cannot possibly sink, but its pregnant waters must render strangulation very easy. The great number of children in these streets arouses wonder until one remembers that they are the only crop which does not require irrigation. On Friday, by in-vitation, I visited Brigham Young's school. Its regis-ter contains 34 names, two or three of them his grandchildren, the rest his children. There were 28 present, ranging in age from four years upward. They are peculiarly bright-looking, intelligent, and well advanced in study. With three of the older girls —of about 17—I afterward had some conversation. Though a little shy, all used good language and graceful manners. One is so pretty that I do not wonder there is great emulation for her smiles among the young men of the city. Brigham's children exceed 50, including many who are married and have sons and daughters of their own. I also visited one of the Ward schools. Tuition $4 to $10 per quarter; free schools are unknown. The foreheads were narrower, and the average intelligence lower, though in some cases very good. The cordial hospitalities we have enjoyed have en-abled me to see something of home and family life among the Mormons. With them are no Misters or Esquires everybody is "Brother A." or "Sister B." The brethren all assure me that the women acquiesce cheerfully in Polygamy—from religious conviction not from feeling—frequently urging their husbands to take additional wives. I am convinced that this is often true—a wonderful triumph of faith over nature. But the only Mormon wife with whom I conversed alone on the subject—a lady of intelligence and culture—spoke of it with earnest, undisguised abhorrence. Many, she said, accepted it from a sense of religious duty; but even they regarded it as a sore trial, to be compensated for only by the happiness of eternity. Two or three sisters often have the same husband; some men are married to a mother and her daughter, and some I am told to their own half-sisters. When possible, each wife occupies a separate house or room; but poverty sometimes compels three or four to live in the same apartments. I think they never bring in the mothers-in-law ! Even Mormon grace would hardly suffice for that! Not more than one man in four is a practical Polygamist. The first wife nearly always deems herself superior to the rest, sometimes refusing to speak with them, or to recognize the legitimacy of their marriage. "Are you Mr. −−'s only wife?'' asked a Gentile lady of a Mormon sister. "I am," was the reply, "though several other women call themselves, his wives !" But I know one husband whose two spouses dress pre-cisely alike, go out much together, and really seem to regard each other with sisterly affection. The later wives are a little addicted to running away with Gen-tiles. Our military authorities receive all who go to them for protection. There are now between 40 and 50 recanting Mormon women at the fort. In many cases the soldiers marry them. Only yesterday a father told Col. George, commanding, that the Bishops were urging marriage upon his three young daughters who were opposed to Polygamy, and that he wished to re-move his family to the fort. Here is the natural solu-tion of the Mormon problem. While it is grossly incon-sistent for the Government (as now) to appoint to lucra-tive and responsible offices men who have taken second end third wives since the anti-Polygamy act became the law of the land, I see no special advantage in actively enforcing that act. Within two or three years there will be a great mining population here, in which men will largely preponderate. Human nature will triumph. The majority of these women will no longer accept one undivided half or sixth of a husband in some cases a very vulgar fraction indeed—when a full unit is attainable. On Saturday night we attended the theater. The playing, costumes, and scenery were decidedly better than metropolitan theaters will average; and the build-ing in size and elegance is excelled by only five or six in the United States. The performance closed with an exquisite fairy spectacle, which made it difficult to realize that we were in the heart of the American Desert. A dozen of Brigham Young's children were among the actors and ballet girls. The President him-self sat in his private box, beside his first wife—a fine-looking matronly lady of 60. His newest wife was in the parquette. So were a score of his children, and eight or ten more of his better-thirtieths, for his wives are said to number nearly thirty, including all who are "sealed" to him. The latter class are wives for eternity; and the relation in this world is supposed to be spirit-ual, not physical I have received the explanatory as-surance that they are mainly like Othello, "declined into the vale of years." Having said so much of Hamlet, I must not omit a personal description of the Prince. The President of the Mormon Church is six feet high, portly, and weighs about 200. He is wonderfully well-preserved for a man who has passed his sixty-fourth birthday. His face is fresh and unwrinkled, his step agile and elastic. I can hardly detect a single gray hair in his curling auburn locks, or the whiskers of the same hue, which in smooth, crescent line fringe his cheek and chin. Is Brigham Young indeed a new Ponce de Leon, who has discov-ered in Polygamy the fountain of Perpetual Youth ? His eyes are of grayish blue. They do not impress me as frank and open, but have a secretive expression. He has an eagle nose and a mouth that shuts like a vice, indicating tremendous firmness. His manner is digni-fied—agreeable and affable rather than cordial; and he carries the unmistakable air of one having authority. Ordinarily cold in conversation, he has little ebullitions of earnestness in which he speaks right at people, using his dexter fore-finger with great force to point a moral. He treats the brethren with warmth, throwing his arm caressingly about them and asking carefully after the wives and babies. He has observed much, thought much, mingled much with practical men; but seems a little unfamiliar with cultivated society. He is abstemious and temperate, using neither tea nor coffee, spirits nor tobacco. Pro-vincialisms of his Vermont boyhood and his Western manhood still cling to him. He says "leetle," "be-yend" and "disremember." An irrepressible conflict between his nominatives and verbs now and then crops out in expressions like "they was," etc. Yet those who hold Brigham Young a cheap charla-tan, are wilder if possible than the Saints who receive him as an angel of light, or those Gentiles who denounce him as a goblin damned. A most striking embodiment of the One Man Power, he holds a hundred thousand people in the hollow of his hand. Gathered from every nation, always poor, usually ignorant, sometimes vicious, he has molded them into an industrious, pro-ductive, honest and homogeneous community. He has grown very rich; the Gentiles charge him with extor-tion among his own people. He certainly owns much of the most desirable property in Utah. But his ad-herents as a class have vastly improved their condition by coming here. I believe all admit that his large com-mercial dealings are characterized by integrity; and that he possesses great kindness of heart. He is a man of brains, quick intuitions, good judgment and untiring industry. He would doubtless have achieved great success in politics, trade, manufacturing, or almost any other, walk of life. A.

Thanks for all your responses. Glad to see that many people feel the same way about Rupert as I do!
For those asking who Rupert Bear is, he's a comic book character who has been around in England since the 1920's. He's a white bear who wears a red sweater, yellow checked trousers and a yellow scarf. He has adventures with his friends, who are mainly woodland animals and a few humans, although from memory there's also a dragon and a pixie/elf that he hangs around with. He's also had children's books written about him and a TV series or two, all aimed at young children. Always returns home from said adventures safe and sound, and in time for supper!
@tk - I think to be honest that adults in the UK would have a stronger association with Rupert Bear than most children would, as I'm not even sure whether he's a prominent character on kid's TV these days. I guess it would be kind of like naming them after a Sesame Street character in the sense that Rupert is a character that many people of my generation would have read/watched from a very young age growing up.
@smismar - I completely forgot about Stewie's teddy in Family Guy. That makes me like it even more!My Top 10 Girls Names: Astrid, Elara, Evelyn, Hannah, Hester, Lorna, Megan, Ophelia, Sylvia, Tabitha

Superallowed Gamow-Teller decay of the doubly magic nucleus 100Sn |
(2012) |
The shell structure of atomic nuclei is associated with 'magic numbers' and originates in the nearly independent motion of neutrons and protons in a mean potential generated by all nucleons. During b1-decay, a proton transforms into a neutron in a previously not fully occupied orbital, emitting a positron-neutrino pair with either parallel or antiparallel spins, in a Gamow-Teller or Fermi transition, respectively. The transition probability, or strength, of a Gamow-Teller transition depends sensitively on the underlying shell structure and is usually distributed among many states in the neighbouring nucleus. Here we report measurements of the half-life and decay energy for the decay of 100Sn, the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with equal numbers of protons and neutrons. In the b-decay of 100Sn, a large fraction of the strength is observable because of the large decay energy. We determine the largest Gamow-Teller strength so far measured in allowed nuclear b-decay, establishing the 'superallowed' nature of this Gamow-Teller transition. The large strength and the low-energy states in the daughter nucleus, 100In, are well reproduced by modern, large-scale shell model calculations. |
