Luftwaffe radio equipment (Funkgerät) of World War II
During World War II, the German Luftwaffe relied on an increasingly diverse array of communications, IFF and RDF equipment for use in its aircraft and on the ground. Most of this equipment received the generic prefix FuG for Funkgerät, meaning "radio equipment". Most of the aircraft-mounted Radar equipment also used the FuG prefix. This article is a list and a description of the radio, IFF and RDF equipment.
Airborne communications[edit]
FuG I: An early receiver/transmitter set manufactured by Lorenz. It operated in the 600 to 1667 kHz range (generally the entire American AM radio broadcast band) at a power of 20 to 100 watts, depending on installation.
FuG II: An update of the FuG 1, also manufactured by Lorenz, that operated in the 310 to 600 kHz frequency range.
FuG 03: Codenamed Stuttgart, was an airborne receiver/transmitter set used in bombers. Was fitted in: Do 11, Do 17 E and F, Fw 58, He 114, Ju 52, Ar 66, Ar 96, Junkers W 33 and W 34. Set consists of: S 3a Transmitter; E 2a Receiver. Power source: G 3 Air-driven generator and 2 - 90 volt dry cells. The FuG 03 operated in the 1.250 to 1.400 MHz frequencies.
FuG 7: A compact airborne receiver/transmitter used in fighters and dive bombers. Prior to 1943, it was fitted in the Bf 109C to G-2, and Fw 190 A-0 to A-3. After 1943, it was still fitted in the Ju 87 and Hs 129. The FuG 7 typically operated in the 2.5 to 7.5 MHz, with a power of approximately 7 watts. The range of the FuG 7 was approximately 50 km in good weather. Later versions of the FuG 7 included the FuG 7a, which included the S 6a Transmitter, E 5a Receiver and Junction Box VK 5 A.
FuG 10 series: A family of transceivers for both R/T and W/T communications. The German FUG-10 panel, or rack, contained two transmitters and two receivers: One transmitter and its companion receiver operated in the MF or Longwave; 300 to 600 kHz (1,000 to 500 m) range and the other transmitter and its companion receiver operated in the HF or Shortwave range; 3 to 6 MHz (100 to 50 m). Most of the FuG 10 series used a fixed wire aerial between the fuselage and tailfin or a retractable trailing aerial wire. The FuG 10P replaced the standard E 10L longwave receiver with an EZ6 unit for a G6 direction finding set. The FuG 10ZY incorporated a fixed loop D/F aerial and a homing device for navigation to a ground station. This loop aerial, usually fitted on a small, "teardrop" shaped mounting, was standard equipment on most fighter aircraft from late 1943 on. Manufactured by Lorenz.[1][2] Typical power was 70 watts.
FuG 16 Z, ZE and ZY: These sets were airborne VHF transceivers used in single-seat fighter aircraft for R/T and W/T communications, and were also used for ground fixes and DF homing on ground stations when used in conjunction with the FuG 10P or FuG 10ZY. Installed for Bf 109G-3/G-4 and later, FW 190A-4 and later subtypes. Frequency Range was 38.5 to 42.3 MHz. The FuG 16ZY was also used for Y-Verfahren (Y-Control), in which aircraft were fitted up as Leitjäger or Fighter Formation Leaders that could be tracked and directed from the ground via special R/T equipment. Aircraft equipped with ZY were fitted with a Morane whip aerial array. Principal components: Transmitter, Receiver, Modulator in one case, S 16 Z Tx, E 16 Z Rcvr, NG 16 Z Modulator Dynamotor U 17 Antenna Matching unit AAG 16 Z Modulator Unit MZ 16 Homing Unit ZVG 16 Indicator AFN - 2
Peilgerät (PeilG) 6: Codenamed "Alex Sniatkowski", this was a long and medium range D/F set and homing device used mainly on bombers: Ar 234, Do 217, Ju 87, Ju 88A-4 on, Ju 188, Ju 290, Ju 388, He 177 heavy fighters, He 219, Ju 88G series are some of the aircraft types to be fitted. Frequency range was 150 to 1,200 kHz. A D/F loop made up of a series of metal strips in a "sunburst" pattern was fitted under a round, flush fitting plexiglass cover. A small "whip" aerial was also fitted to the FuG 10 radiomast. Manufactured by Telefunken.
FuG 125 Hermine: A VHF radio beacon signal receiver for single-engine, single-seat fighters; some types of Fw 190 and Bf 109s were known to have been fitted. Frequency range was 30 to 33 MHz; range using earphones was 200 km (120 mi). Weight was 10 kg (22 lbs). Manufactured in small numbers by Lorenz in 1945.
FuG 25a Erstling: This was an IFF set designed to respond to Freya, Würzburg and Gemse[3] ground control radar through the transmission of identifying pulses. The reception frequency range was 125 + or - 1.8 MHz. Transmitting frequency was 160 MHz. It could be received at up to 100 km (62 mi).
The Luftwaffe was known to have fitted small aluminum strips which frequently carried explosive charges onto the outside of the equipment aluminium housings. These explosives were linked then by a fuse (a slow match cord that when ignited, allowed for the evacuation of the crew) onto any sensitive apparatus, which allowed it to be destroyed rather than be captured by the Allies.

Talion may be the poster child advertising Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, but he's not the only one seeking vengeance against the Dark Lord Sauron and his army of nasty creatures. In this behind-the-scenes video, meet Celebrimbor: an elven smith who helped create the Rings of Power and has since been cursed to exist as a wraith in eternal un-death.
Yeesh, no wonder he seems like a bit of a grumpy-pants.
Celebrimbor is played by Alastair Duncan, opposite Troy Baker as Talion. The two characters may have the same agenda, but they don't always agree about how to do it. To learn more about their ripe-for-sitcom-adaptation relationship - seriously, we can hear it in our heads already: "Taliooooooon!" *cue laugh track* - check out the new behind-the-scenes video above.

A week later I queried it and was told it would be sent out and would need signed for. Few days later still nothing. Finally cancelled it to be told they had it packed up just waiting to send! On re-reading reviews found others had had similar problems. Rose & Lyons's response: Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry that your order wasn't received as quickly as you had hoped and totally understand the disappointment this has caused. Your order was dispatched within the time frames stated on the website but unfortunately it was delayed in the post, which regrettably is out of our control. Please contact us via your order inquiry if you have any additional comments or if we can assist you further. I have now been told by the customer days after a refund was issued that they now have the item, after they had the item and left bad feed back we were then told the item has been received. We have asked the customer to remove the bad feed back after having a full refund and getting the item but there has been no reply since. Wed 14 Aug 2013 Great product though Fri 29 Mar 2013 No comment supplied. Sat 09 Feb 2013 My daughter will love this cushion for her new flat Sat 19 Jan 2013 No comment supplied. Thu 17 Jan 2013 Ordered a cushion in November as a Christmas gift. The Novelty Cushion Company failed to meet their quoted delivery date by over 2 weeks, failed to communicate there was to be a delay, the product when it eventually arrived a couple of days before Christmas was not packaged just stuffed in a postage bag and of unacceptably poor quality so was returned. No returns information given as no dispatch note or invoice in the postage bag and I am out of pocket on my return postage. Original reason given (communication which I had to initiate) was that they were all off sick. The company didn't bother giving a reason as to why I was sent a poor quality product. Terrible shopping experience, abysmal customer service, would not recommend The Novelty Cushion Company to anyone. Rose & Lyons's response: Thanks for your feedback and we're sorry to hear that you're not totally happy with your purchase. We are passionate about customer service and always strive to make sure you have a great experience with us. I accept for some very unfortunate reason you slipped through the net in advising you the product was going to be late. I am very sorry for this oversight, it really is not the way we conduct our business. I am so sorry you are disappointed with the quality of the product. It is 100% cotton/linen and is filled with a UK made Feather pad. Thank you for returning your order, we were very happy to refund you in full and again apologise for your disappointment.

All In The Best Possible Taste With Grayson Perry - Working Class Taste
All In The Best Possible Taste With Grayson Perry, Episode 01 - Working Class Taste
Series Synopsis
Grayson Perry, a leading British artist and winner of the Turner Prize, is fascinated by taste - why people buy the things they do, wear what they wear, and how class influences these decisions.
Episode Synopsis
Episode 01 - Working Class Taste
Grayson Perry, a leading British artist and winner of the Turner Prize, has always been fascinated by taste - why people buy the things they do, wear the things they wear and what they are trying to say about themselves when they make those choices.
In this three-part series Perry will embed himself in the social classes of Britain to try to understand their taste. This most anthropological of artists is going to live with each of his 'taste tribes' in turn - first the working classes of Sunderland, then the middle classes of Tunbridge Wells, then the upper classes of the Cotswolds.
Originally from a working-class background Perry begins his investigation of taste in Sunderland, a city with strong working-class traditions. He discovers a culture of flamboyant display in Sunderland, as well as some surprising ancestral echoes of his own upbringing. He also confronts head-on the snobbery that surrounds many people's view of working-class taste.
Finally, Perry invites all the people he meets in Sunderland down to London for an unveiling of the artwork inspired by his experiences in their city, prompting a fascinating debate about what he has chosen to reflect back to them about their taste.

About Us
Mesa Fresh Lacrosse was founded in 2007 by Bob Aitken with the intent to showcase high school lacrosse players that are highly skilled, but also of high character. Mesa prides itself in teaching how to play the game right – not just attending tournaments. Players are selected based on game performance and contribution to their youth teams along with recommendations by area coaches. Since the inception of Mesa Fresh, its teams have won some of the strongest high school field tournaments. The Philadelphia Fever was founded in 2006 by The Haverford School's John Nostrant, Travis Loving, and Mark Petrone. They started Fever in order to provide the ultimate summer lacrosse experience for youth lacrosse players in the greater Philadelphia region. In 2013 the programs combined to become the Mesa Fresh Fever Lacrosse Club. The program has become a structured organization that develops your son from Kindergarten to 12th grade. The focus is on individual skill development along with strong team fundamentals and great sportsmanship. We have Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer lacrosse opportunities for players making Mesa one of the only true year round clubs in the area. You have to try out to be considered for a team, even if you have played for Mesa in the past. We encourage you to be a part of the best club lacrosse system around. At the end, you will be a better lacrosse player.
MESA FALL SKILLS CLINIC is a "tune up" clinic on September 7th and 14th for all players at The Haverford School. The goal is for players to improve their skills and prepare for our MESA club lacrosse team tryouts.

Standing well shy of 5 feet, Amanda Troeder still packs a verbal wallop.
Troeder, 25, sat beneath a scorching sun Monday afternoon, hosting a Tent State workshop at City of Cuernavaca Park on nonviolent civil-disobedience tactics.
While she was trying to provide her dozen or so listeners with information they could use in any protest, the session largely centered on a planned march Wednesday by the Iraq Veterans Against the War after a free Rage Against the Machine concert.
"It's going to be emotional, and it's going to be violent," said Troeder, whose language could be described as colorful. "You are going to see people getting the (expletive) kicked out of them. Remember, they are choosing to do it.
"Please, please, please.

Violence had generally been absent since people began arriving for the convention over the weekend. That may not be the case Wednesday, said Troeder and another speaker who joined her during the session.
The reason, as explained by Troeder and Sholom Keller, a member of the Iraq veterans group, is that the group plans to march on the Pepsi Center. Organizers say they want to get Barack Obama's endorsement for their cause.
Both seemed well aware that the chances of coming anywhere close to the presumptive Democratic nominee were not even remote.
Keller said he hoped police officers would be sympathetic to the cause.
"They are going to try and let you demoralize yourself," said Keller, who said he has served with the 101st Airborne Division in Afghanistan and Iraq for a combined 16 months. "Don't let them."
Suggestions centered on ways to de-escalate tensions with authorities (walking away topped the list) and how to rate your "arrestability" (those in front rate the highest).
One listener, a woman in her 30s from Pittsburgh who declined to give her name, said she found the information useful, even though she has been arrested previously for demonstrating against the war in Iraq.
"People need to understand what they are getting into," said the woman, who plans to be in the middle of the march. "If you have the information, it helps to resist any fears. Well, at least some of the fears."

Australia will be fully rested for next week's 2010 FIFA World Cup South AfricaTM qualifier with Uzbekistan.
The squad, drawn entirely from European clubs, have the rare luxury of a week-long training camp in preparation for Wednesday's match in Sydney.
The Australians are unbeaten and two points clear of Japan at the top of Asian Zone's Group A, and depending on the outcome of results over the coming week, could book their ticket to the world finals.
While the Socceroos have this weekend match-free, Uzbekistan must play Qatar at home before making the long flight to Sydney for the game just days later.
"It's going to be tough for them with the time difference, jet lag and so on, especially after we've had a week here before the game," Switzerland-based defender Scott Chipperfield said. "Hopefully they're a little bit tired."
Midfielder Jason Culina said Australia had been in similar situations to Uzbekistan before. "It's not nice, but that's the way football is," he said.
"We've only got one game to play (this week) and it's at home. We've got time to prepare, get over the jet lag and get used to the conditions. We're looking to be fully fit."

The hotel is perfectly clean and the rooms are nice. the staff was not very friendly or acommodating and it was well out of the city center, but it's close to a metro stop. it's fine, not amazing but fine.

The location was good and it was very cheap. the staff were not so nice, and our bed broke and so did the shower door. they switched the bed but didn't deal with the shower. it was clean.
Albergo ArgentinaGenoa, Italy
The staff were lovely, rooms were nice, everything was nice. They didn't speak English, but we made do. No breakfast, good wifi.
AAE Banfield PortlandPortland, USA
This place was definitely not a hostel and should not be promoted on a website called hostelworld. There was no common space, it was a roadside motel way out of the center of town. The woman who "greeted" us at reception was hostile and creepy, the room wasn't particularly clean and smelled of cigarettes, there were four of us booked for the room but only two towels, and many of the other guests seemed to be employed in less than honorable professions.

Löffingen Things to Do
Witterschnee Pilgrim Church
This church is located 1km North West of Loeffingen's city centre, cutting the distance between Loeffingen and Schwarzwaldpark/Waldbad in two one km pieces.The myth behind this church is the following:Around the year 1732 a trader got lost in a heavy snowstorm and praying to God "Give me a sign and when I survive and I will build a cross for you...more
The Lotenbachklamm is another gorge that joins the Wutach gorge at the Schattenmühle. There are car parks at both ends. The gorge is very nice - it's a narrow gorge with rocks and some lovely waterfalls and the path is not difficult to go although it's a bit steep. But it's just 1,5 km and it took us a bit more than 30 minutes to walk from...more
Schleifenbach waterfalls
The Schleifenbachfälle are some waterfalls west of Blumberg. If you walk stage 2 of the Schluchtsteig hiking path, you will automatically pass them. Coming from Blumberg, a 8m high ladder goes down to the waterfalls. I had read about this and prefered to not take this ladder, so we came from the other side and walked there from Achdorf. From there...more
The Gauchachschlucht is the gorge of the river Gauchach which joins the Wutach west of the Wutachmühle. It's nice as well - smaller than the Wutach gorge but less wild than the Lotenbach gorge. The path goes over several bridges, always close to the river, sometimes along the rocks. In the gorge also is an inn called Burgmühle that offers some...more
Enge Schlucht
The "Enge Schlucht" (narrow gorge) is indeed a narrow gorge. It starts east of Löffingen-Bachheim and ends a bit north of the Burgmühle in the Gauchach gorge. You can take the 3-gorge-loop-trail and walk through the Wutach gorge, Gauchach gorge and Enge Schlucht - it took us 4 hours, with several stops.The Enge Schlucht is really a nice gorge, but...more
Wutachschlucht and Schluchtensteig
The Wutachschlucht is the 33 km long gorge of the river Wutach - or rather a series of three gorges. The river Wutach first is named Gutach until it joins the Haslach river near Lenzkirch. Already at these two rivers you find nice valleys. The gorges then end in Stühlingen-Grimmelshofen, but the Wutach continues until it joins the Rhine river. It's...more
Hexenbrunnen (witches fountain)
This fountain is a kind of carnival fountain. In Löffingen there are three groups that take part in carnival, one of them is the witches group which was founded in 1934. They consist of only men who wear self-made masks. This witch group did donate this fountain in 1975, and there had been quite some discussions if this fountain should be really...more
Demetrius fountain
Saint Demetrius is the patron saint of Löffingen. You can find the reliquies in the church St. Michael. The original fountain was destroyed during WWII by a bomb. The statue fortunately kept intact and a new fountain was built in 1953, with the statue on it.more
Maienländer Gate
The Maienländer Tor (or Mailänder Tor) is a nice red-painted gate and is one of the city gates. There originally had been three gates, but only the Maienländer Tor is left. It was built 1580 but did burn down in 1921 and was rebuilt afterwards, with a larger passage.more
Löffingen Restaurants
Another restaurant in Dittishausen
The restaurant Hilpert is located in Dittishausen and also is a guesthouse. They have a nice patio in the backyard - and we suddenly had some chickens walking around there. So you see, this is the countryside! I had a pork steak with ham and cheese gratiné. There unfortunately also where some mushrooms that I moved away, but the steak was good –...more
Another nice Italian restaurant
The restaurant Hexenschopf is located in the centre of Löffingen in the second oldest house of the town, built in the 17th century. It's an Italian restaurant but you get there all kind of local food as well. They don't have too much different pizzas but quite a lot of other choices, and for lunch they offer various set menus. And if you want to...more
Very good Italian restaurant
This restaurant is located in the commercial area of Löffingen next to the Lidl supermarket. It's close to the federal highway B31 so if you sit outside you hear the cars. We first thought this will be disturbing but it wasn't that loud. They have a good choice of pizzas, pasta etc and quite a lot of seafood. I had a salad plate which was very...more
Löffingen Transportation
Using the bus to discover the Wutach...
If you want to walk parts of the Schluchtsteig you can use the bus (or train) to have you returned to your starting point. There even is a special Wanderbus (hiking bus) that goes from end of April to end of October, but unfortunateyl only on week-ends and holidays. As we were there during the week we had use "regular" busses, but that worked too....more
Löffingen by train
There is a train station in Löffingen that connects the town with Rottweil (via Donaueschingen) and Freiburg (via Neustadt). We did a day-trip to Freiburg from Löffingen, and the train trip was very nice. It's a great landscape with its gorges and rocks. The train goes through the Höllental (hell valley) and stops in a village called Himmelreich...more
Löffingen Station
Löffingen Station was destroyed in Second World War because the Nazis used it to shop material ...What you can see on the photo is the "thing" people did out of it after the war. Not very nice, but ok for what its needed.Today two train each hour stop weekdays and weekends, one to Neustadt (from there connection to Freiburg im Breisgau) and one...more
Löffingen Warnings and Dangers
Weather ...
Be prepared for all kind of weather ;)
This is snow in late April, after we had already 25 C two weeks earlier ...
Löffingen Off The Beaten Path
Wutachschlucht - Grand Canon of Europe?
Actually it's a "must see", if you like nature or not. But most "tourists" (esp. from abroad) never hear about this marvellous present of nature.
The "Schlucht" as locals call it seperates the Baar Region from the Bonndorf region. Actually it's also a tectonic dividing line. But the canon is also a language barrier.
Bonndorf (south of WS) and Loeffingen (north of WS) have quite different allemanic dialects.
Plate tectonic processes were also the reason for WS to form around 55000 years ago (originally the Wutach was a Dabube river, but it became a Rhenanian river, due to that the valley or later canon formed).
Today the canon is at some spots 300 to 400 meters deep, you can if you are very fit take a hike throughout the whole canon. Anyway it's a quite hard tour (around 25 to 30 km).
Best places to enter WS for hiking are Bachheim, Reiselfingen and Goeschweiler, all less than two km's "above" WS.
You may also pass the WS by car, but that's not a big adventure, and rather boring. If you are lucky you can park your car at "Schattenmuehle" (also a restaurant) and walk some km's.
Another option is to use the Wanderbus connection Loeffingen and Bonndorf during summer with stops at Schattenmühle.
If you decide to go hiking, wear GOOD shoes. That means no sandals, no high heels etc. After rain fall the WS is very slippery and therefore dangerous.
Don't try to be cool, every year people crash there bec of not using good shoes and not being careful.
Wutachschlucht is a NATIONAL PARK so please respect nature! Don't leave the paths, take your litter with you. We want to preserve this lovely place for future generations!Related to:

Löffingen Favorites
Tourist Information Löffingen - Library...
Favorite thing: If you need more detailed information about Löffingen, this is the place you should go to. The "Kultur- und Fremdenverkehrszentrum" was built in the late 80'es and gave several key organisation a new home.
The main floor hosts the tourist information, which is opened on weekdays (9.00 - 12.00 and 14.00 - 1730). There you can get information on places of interest, where to go hiking, where to stay overnight and on many other things that bother you. They even speak English and French there ;)
The 1st floor contains the city museum and the library. Opening hours for city museum are the same as those of tourist information. Actually you have to go there to enter the museum. It's not a big museum, and in my opinion it's a bit chaotic, but it gives you insight about the history and development of Löffingen. Most likely you won't spend more than 30 or 45 minutes there.
The library is very well equiped and you can also use it as a tourist. Keep this option in mind when you come to Löffingen and weather is lousy. You can either lend books or sit in a quiet corner and study some newspapers or magazines. Opening hours change often, so check
for an update, please.
2nd floor hosts also the city gallery. It's only opened when there are exhibitions. Ask at tourist information about them. Löffingen has a quite lively art scene.

There is a growing interest in attempts in using biomolecular as the 1D nanotube templates to grow inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) in controlled morphology and structure. One of the research motivations for this combination is to take advantage of the catalytic activity for the room-temperature material growth and the ability of self-assembly into controlled structures on a large scale. One approach to fabricate such nanotube is by using a glycine-based peptide nanotube as template, and on template sidewall immobilizing biomineralizing peptide, which can selectively bind to the target metal/semiconductor precursor and mediate the formation of the inorganic material on templates incorporating these peptides. By optimizing the experiment conditions, we successfully fabricated high yield of nanotubes with full coverage of high-density monodispersed Au and ZnO NPs coating. Using drop casting technique, we built electronic device with these nanotubes and found very interesting electrical transport properties: the temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristic of Au NPs nanotube; and the negative differential resistance property (current decreases with increasing bias voltage) of ZnO NPs coated nanotube. These results are of great impact on the future development of bio-nanoelectronic devices. Besides, a new biomimetic approach for one-pod synthesis of ZnO nanotube at neutral pH and room temperature is introduced; by self-assembling peptides which possess the catalytic mineralization function for the specific oxide metal, ZnO nanotube can be grown as the peptides are simultaneously assembled into a rod structure and template ZnO growth in gels formed by the peptides and Zn precursors. Traditionally, biomineralizing peptides are coated on 1D templates and then grow ZnO at room temperature, however this new method allows one to grow ZnO nanotubes in one step without using 1D templates since the Zn-mineralizing peptide itself can be assembled into the 1D structure.
Abstract The Actor and the Playwright: Play Adaptation on the Early Eighteenth-Century, English Stage By Ellen Anthony-Moore Advisor: Prof. Judith Milhous This dissertation examines the ways in which classical, neoclassical and Renaissance plays were adapted and staged on the early eighteenth-century, London stage. The plays that became box office successes were generally the ones that best displayed the talents and attributes of popular performers. By understanding the lives and careers of the greatest actors of this generation, and their role in the commercial theatre, we can better understand why the now canonized plays of ancient Greece, France, or the Elizabethan period were modified in ways that most modern scholars find puzzling. By the beginning of the eighteenth century in England, actors and actresses were becoming public personalities in an unprecedented way. From the time of Thomas Betterton's death in 1709, to the end of the triumvirate management of Drury Lane by Colley Cibber, Robert Wilks and Barton Booth in 1727, there were a handful of actors who can lay claim to being the most well known and respected performers of this generation. In chapter one, I outline what is known about eighteenth-century acting methods and techniques as well as the lines of certain key actors. Chapters two and three explore the genres of tragedy and historical tragedy, emphasizing the importance of the celebrity actress and the recent vogue for she-tragedy. Chapter four is centrally concerned with trends in comedy and farce and the preoccupation with the misadventures of young rakes, fops, cheats and the like. This dissertation ultimately concludes that by looking at the way contemporary authors adapted the most prominent playwrights of previous generations, we can better understand the theatre of the eighteenth-century. Ultimately, the process of play adaptation was one that was highly influenced by the demands of a commercial, celebrity centered theatre rather than by literary ideals or political ideology.
In multi-agent epistemic logics, common knowledge has been a central consideration of study. A generic common knowledge (G.C.K.) system is one that yields iterated knowledge I(φ): 'any agent knows that any agent knows that any agent knows…φ' for any number of iterations. Generic common knowledge yields iterated knowledge, G.C.K.(φ)→I(φ), but is not necessarily logically equivalent to it. This contrasts with the most prevalent formulation of common knowledge C as equivalent to iterated knowledge. A spectrum of systems may satisfy the G.C.K. condition, of which C is just one. It has been shown that in the usual epistemic scenarios, G.C.K. can replace conventional common knowledge and Artemov has noted that such standard sources of common knowledge as public announcements of atomic sentences generally yield G.C.K. rather than C. In this dissertation we study mathematical properties of generic common knowledge and compare them to the traditional common knowledge notion. In particular, we contrast the modal G.C.K. logics of McCarthy (e.g. M4) and Artemov (e.g. S4nJ) with C-systems (e.g. S4nC) and present a joint C/G.C.K. implicit knowledge logic S4nCJ as a conservative extension of both. We show that in standard epistemic scenarios in which common knowledge of certain premises is assumed, whose conclusion does not concern common knowledge (such as Muddy Children, Wise Men, Unfaithful Wives, etc.), a lighter G.C.K. can be used instead of the traditional, more complicated, common knowledge. We then present the first fully explicit G.C.K. system LPn(LP). This justification logic realizes the corresponding modal system S4nJ so that G.C.K., along with individual knowledge modalities, can always be made explicit.
Since the early 1960s, regional theatre has grown into one of the major sectors of contemporary American theatre culture. Why have so many regional theatres existed for years? Why have they attracted such a large audience? Partially through a survey of the regional theatre sector as a whole, and mainly through case studies of the four individual theatres, this study aims to answer these questions. American regional theatres are unique in that they offer more than the artistic merit and entertainment value of their productions. This study proposes the hypothesis that, the very foundations of American regional theatres lie not in their productions' artistic or entertainment values, but in their contributions to their communities. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the development of the regional theatre sector as well as the basic terminology and the scope of the field. Chapter 2 examines the regional theatres' evolving relationship with Broadway from the early 1960s through the 1980s. Chapters 3 and 4 examine four regional theatres, Arena Stage, the Guthrie Theater, the Seattle Repertory Theatre, and the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, to look into regional theatres' relationship with the communities in which they are located. The case studies demonstrates that, once expected to pay their own way through the box office revenues alone, these theatres switched to local, non-governmental sources to supplement their box office revenues and/or to make up for the loss of the foundation grants by the early 1970s. Since then, they have been successfully obtaining annual contributions from local donors by nurturing a shared sense of ownership of the theatres within the communities. Chapter 5 summarizes the research findings and revisits the hypothesis proposed in Chapter 1. The study concludes that regional theatres have been able to secure their long-term continuation within their communities and continue to attract large audiences only because they have assumed the position of public theatres responsive to communities at large for the first time on a large scale in the history of American theatre.
In this work, electrodynamics of a Nearly Ferroelectric Superconduct- ing (NFE-SC) material in local London limit and nonlocal Pippard limit is reported. NFE-SC materials exhibit superconductivity and are in a nearly- ferroelectric state. One example of such materials is 'n' or 'p' doped $SrTiO_3$ . The structure of a single vortex in an NFE-SC thin film is explored. Taking $n-SrTiO_3$ as our sample of choice, the frequency dependent magnetic field and current within the sample are calculated. The expulsion of the vortex from the sample at resonances is observed. The interaction between two vortices due to the presence of high background dielectric is explored. The effect of finite thickness on the vortex structure is explored for an NFE-SC film. With increase in film thickness, the resonances become sharper and as a result the system undergoes oscillatory transition between ferroelectric, superconducting and Meissner-like states. Nonlocal effects in the NFE-SC thin film are explored in the Pippard limit. Specular Reflection and Random scattering are studied. Analytical as well as numerical methods are used to investigate the nature of the material and solve for the current and magnetic field within the sample. The current is found to be non-zero within the sample. The material properties can be manipulated to enhance or expel the current from within the sample with the change in frequency. The material shows complex transitions between Type-I, Type-II superconducting as well as Dielectric states. Numerical codes developed for the solution of the integro-differential equations are given.
Over 300 people have been exonerated by post conviction DNA testing, unequivocally proving their innocence. Nearly 70% of these post conviction DNA exonerees are members of minority groups, and approximately 69% of those convicted as a result of false confessions are racial/ethnic minorities (www.innocenceproject.org). To date, there is little research on the role of race in police interviews and interrogations. The present research had two goals. First, we examined Black and White participants' experiences during a mock crime interview. Second, using the interviews from Study 1, we evaluated the role suspect race plays in police officers' veracity judgments. Using a sample of community members, Black and White suspects in Study 1 reported similar levels of anxiety and exhibited similar rates of nonverbal behaviors commonly believed to be cues to deception. Similarly, Black and White suspects cooperated with the investigation at similar rates. Police officers in Study 2 exhibited chance levels of accuracy in their culpability decisions. However, police officers were significantly more likely to misjudge innocent Black suspects as guilty than innocent White suspects, while showing no difference in their accuracy rates for guilty suspects. Additionally, police officers judged Black suspects to be less cooperative and less forthcoming than White suspects. These results suggest that being questioned about a crime is stressful regardless of a suspect's race or ethnicity. They also suggest that innocent Black suspects are at a greater risk of being erroneously judged as guilty during police interviews and interrogations. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
The Syrian poet and cultural critic Ali Ahmad Said (1930 -) (Adonis) is one of the most influential Arab poets of the 20th century. His poetry represents a radical rupture with what was established before. Adonis' poetry is associated with innovation and revolution, and his language is characterized by mysticism and hermeticism. While living in Beirut, he co-founded the influential literary journal Shi'r (1956-63) with the Lebanese poet Yusuf al-Khal (1917-1987), and a few years later he founded his own journal, Mawaqif (1968-1998). Both journals served as a prominent literary platform for cultural modernity and radical criticism of the Arab heritage and tradition. Adonis' literary and theoretical oeuvres have been the subject of a number of discussions and debates within the Arab intellectual circle and beyond. This paper, is chiefly concerned with Adonis' notion of the poetic vision that expresses itself in two dimensions, as a matter of form and content. The formal expression of vision is artistic, to "make it new," as Ezra Pound said: poetry must take new forms and use new techniques to reflect the now-ness of vision; its ability to present the world as it is right now. When a poet is being visionary, he or she cannot use old forms and motifs, because this would be to substitute the lived experience of the poet for purely literary conventions. The notion of vision that manifests itself as a poetic content is essentially concerned with the poet's insight and not his technique. Such poetic insight finds resonance in Sufist and Surrealist pronouncements; it seeks meaning in other metaphysical realities. Hence, the content of vision is the mystical, the otherworldly. This is more like William Blake's view of vision: poetry must describe the truth of everything that evades and escapes the senses. A poet who is visionary cannot simply write poems about everyday life, because the poet sees more than the everyday person. I suggest that these two dimensions are potentially in tension. They are not, exactly, saying the same thing. However, I attempt to investigate how Adonis adapts and develops this interesting marriage of the two kinds of vision in his poetics.
The first decade of the twenty-first century has seen dramatic advances in Internet technologies. Digital social spaces have emerged as popular Internet applications that are radically changing how firms and consumers of digital content interact. In the first chapter "Research Agenda" I introduce my research and the context within which it is developed. In the second chapter "Digital Consumer Networks and Producer-Consumer Collaboration: Innovation and Product Development in the Video Game Industry", I show how producers may partially open proprietary content to consumers to allow them to co-create derivative products. By re-appropriating these derivatives, the firms are successfully outsourcing parts of their design and development process to consumer networks. Applying economic analysis, I explore the potential benefits and risks of co-creation and derive the optimal combination of copyright enforcement and consumer compensation levels. In the third chapter "Firms and Innovative Digital Consumer Networks: An Analysis of Social Network Structure and Innovation Selection Mechanism", I explore how word of mouth effects are an important indicator of the popularity and economic potential of newly available digital goods. I present three selection mechanisms that firms can employ in order to identify user-generated product innovations that are fit for re-appropriation. The first is based on direct peer-review, the second uses a simple evolutionary game theoretic model, and the third proposes a stochastic epidemiological innovation diffusion model. In the fourth chapter "The Evolution of Innovation in Digital Social Spaces through Mutation, Natural Selection and Reuse of Novel Synthetic Routines", I examine the particular question of how innovations diffuse across digital social space designs and affect change on the industry level. I apply evolutionary theory as a theoretical lens and develop a stochastic process model that allows studying the factors that determine which innovations survive in the market and which do not. Analytical analysis of the proposed process model enables the examination of how organizational strategies affect industry trends and the determination of the conditions under which standardization in the industry is achieved. In the fifth chapter "Strategic Implications" I discuss the risks faced by firms in the digital social space industry that are adopting co-creation approaches. My research suggests that effective management of the collaboration between producers and consumers is key for sustainable co-creation business models. I conclude with the sixth chapter and present directions for future research.
New York Dada has historically been positioned as incompatible or antithetical to American modernism. This dissertation argues that the Dada spirit in New York not only rejected European conventions of high art, but did so with the nationalistic desire to develop a modern and independent American idiom through the influence of anarchism and vernacular culture. This study traces the influence of anarchism in New York on Alfred Stieglitz, his influential gallery, "291," and his publication, Camera Work, as well as larger anarchistic networks during the early 1910s. In this atmosphere of iconoclastic experimentation, vernacular culture emerged as an alternative strategy to critique the definitions and institutions of fine art. Whereas most studies of New York Dada focus on the work of Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, and Man Ray, this study reconstructs the cultural conditions in which they worked. The year 1915 becomes a watershed moment, not simply for the arrival of Duchamp and Picabia, but for the publication of Van Wyck Brooks's cultural critique, America's Coming-of-Age. This text blamed the dichotomy between the highbrow and lowbrow for the lack of a truly American cultural idiom. I argue that the main character of New York Dada - its enthusiastic adoption of the subjects, styles, and strategies of vernacular culture - attempts to bridge that divide. The vernacular came to represent a new standard of American identity, a flexible definition that could allow an amateurish aesthetic to coexist with industrial imagery. This study broadens the scope of New York Dada production to include the work of artists and critics who collaborated in this Dada spirit, but have historically been separated from the Dada movement. In this larger context, canonical works of Dada, especially periodicals such as The Ridgefield Gazook (1915), The Blind Man (1917), and New York Dada (1921) will be reconsidered.
In this thesis, we obtain combinatorial algorithms that determine the minimal number of self-intersections necessary for a free homotopy class $[\gamma]$ on an orientable surface, using algebraic input. Using this same input, we describe another algorithm which determines whether or not a minimally intersecting curve in $[\gamma]$ is \textit{filling}, that is, whether or not the complement is a disjoint union of disks or punctured disks. Next, we use these algorithms as inspiration for proving the existence of filling curves which self-intersect $2g-1$ times, which is the minimal number of intersections possible. The combinatorial viewpoint that is developed can then be used to obtain geometric information about the curves, which is the subject of the last chapter. Among other things, we obtain a sharp lower bound on the length of a filling curve with the minimal number of self-intersections on a surface of genus g.

***In Lexington, the CW is channel 117 (digital cable), 384 (satellite), 914 (HD).***
Four weeks are left until the CW's Smallville series finale. The show has been on there air for a decade. Ten full years. There aren't many series that can boast such a long run, and the show now is drastically different from the way it began. With a primary cast of only four characters (five, if counting Allison Mack's Chloe, though she is only doing a handful of episodes this season), the focus has shifted fully into Clark Kent (Tom Welling) becoming Superman. Sure, that has always been the understood journey of the show, but with the end fast approaching, it is more prevalent than ever.
This week, in "Kent", Clark is sent back to the alternate universe by his doppelgänger, Clark Luthor. Luthor is hunted in his world, and everyone knows how to kill him, thanks to the now deceased Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley). Clark Kent runs into Oliver's widow, Lois (Erica Durance), and then finds the shell of a man that is Jonathan Kent (John Schneider). Jonathan captures Clark, intending to hand him in for the reward money. But would-be father and son bond, and Jonathan lets Clark go, both having new perspectives on their lives.
Jonathan Kent died in the regular universe years ago, but having Clark face his father once more, right before the end, is not just a throwback to who he was. Jonathan has shaped who Clark has become. He also helps his son see that things in life aren't nearly as important as the people. Clark does know Lois is the most cherished element in his life, but this bit of advice gives him the courage to go through with a momentous event in his life: selling the Kent family farm.
Giving up his boyhood home may not seen like a major step to many. In fact, many origin Superman stories on screen have dispersed with the farmhouse early in the movie or series. But as the entirety of Smallville takes place prior to Clark putting on the cape and tights, getting rid of the homestead reminds us that the end is very near, and he will soon become the hero he is meant to be. This particular Clark's journey is finishing, as he is about to become the character beloved for decades.
