David Alan Coulier ( ; born September 21, 1959) is an American actor, stand-up comedian, impressionist, and television host. He played Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom Full House, voiced Peter Venkman on The Real Ghostbusters, and voiced Animal and Bunsen on Muppet Babies.

Early life
David Alan Coulier was born on September 21, 1959, to David L. Coulier and Arlen Coulier in Detroit, Michigan, and was raised in nearby St. Clair Shores, Michigan. He has 3 siblings. His mother's side of the family is from Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada, and his paternal grandmother was a Jewish immigrant from Germany. Coulier got his start in stand-up comedy in high school by impersonating his principal and other staff over his high school's PA system. He graduated in 1977 from Notre Dame High School in Harper Woods, Michigan, where he was a member of the varsity ice hockey team, playing defense alongside future NHL player John Blum.  Coulier also attended high school with Mark Cendrowski, who became friends with him in the third grade and they often made 8mm films together during high school. Coulier attended The University of Michigan but dropped out after his freshman year to pursue comedy full time.

Career

Coulier met future Full House co-star Bob Saget for the first time at a comedy club in Detroit. The two became good friends and Coulier briefly lived with Saget and his then-wife Sherri on their couch in the early 1980s as he struggled to get his career started.

Coulier moved to Los Angeles at age 19 and started performing at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, where he performed alongside Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, and Robin Williams.

Coulier was initially cast as a player for Saturday Night Live for its 1986 season. Shortly before the season started, however, he was left off the show because the show's management thought he was too similar to another cast member, Dana Carvey.

Coulier has done extensive voice work for shows including Scooby and Scrappy-Doo, The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters (taking over the character of Peter Venkman after Lorenzo Music's departure from the role), Extreme Ghostbusters, Muppet Babies after Howie Mandel left (Baby Animal, Baby Bunsen, Bean Bunny, and Uncle Statler and Waldorf, and a preteen Janice for one episode), The Jetsons, Rude Dog and the Dweebs, and Detention. From 1984 to 1985, he was also the host of a comedy series on Nickelodeon known as Out of Control.

Coulier is best known for playing Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom Full House. He stayed on the show from 1987 until its cancellation in 1995. He was famous for doing voices and impersonations. In addition to Full House, Coulier appeared on George and Leo and Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher. He has also hosted America's Funniest People (first with Arleen Sorkin and later with Tawny Kitaen) and Opportunity Knocks. Additionally, he was also a voice actor in Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose and has voiced Felix the Cat on a few occasions. He also put out a solo album called Cut It Out, a self-proclaimed tribute to "tank tops and short shorts."

In addition to his voice work, Coulier has also taken a few acting parts, appearing in the Disney Channel Original Movie's The Thirteenth Year and The Even Stevens Movie (where he had a cameo as a reality show host), as well as the Nickelodeon original film Shredderman Rules. He wrote and starred in an unaired pilot for FX called Whispers and Balls.

He also founded his own children's entertainment company, F3 Entertainment, in 2000. In 2003, Coulier appeared on season three of The Surreal Life. In 2006, he appeared on the TV reality show Skating with Celebrities on FOX, where he was paired with Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan. They were eliminated in episode four.

He is a member of Duck's Breath Mystery Theater touring comedy troupe (which he claims is clean comedy but "not quite as creepy" as Full House) as well as the host of the series Animal Kidding.

On June 2, 2008, Chikara, a professional wrestling promotion based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, announced that Coulier was elected by the Chikara Board of Directors as the new commissioner of the company, a position that he held for two years until the next election (which took place on May 25, 2010). Coulier is the successor to former Commissioner and fellow Full House cast member Bob Saget.

In 2009, Coulier provided the voice for Bob McKenzie on the Canadian animated series Bob & Doug, based on the SCTV characters Bob and Doug McKenzie. Coulier became the first person other than Rick Moranis to portray the character, as Moranis (who serves as executive producer) was not interested in resuming the part. Coulier says he understands that longtime fans might be skeptical of his take on the role, but he could not help jumping at the chance to portray one of his favorite comic characters. "It's huge shoes to fill, stepping into Rick Moranis' shoes. It's such an established, great character and I guess the only thing I have going for me is that it kind of sounds alike and that half of my family is from Canada." His mother's family is from Bathurst, New Brunswick.

Coulier continued to make regular television appearances as the host of shows such as America's Funniest People and America's Most Talented Kid. He continues to tour the U.S. and Canada as a stand-up comedian.

Coulier reprised his role as Joey Gladstone for the Full House spin-off Fuller House.

Personal life
In the early 1990s, Coulier was married for two years to Jayne Modean. They have a son, Luc, born in 1990. Having divorced, he dated Alanis Morissette for two years, but they broke up shortly before she recorded her album Jagged Little Pill. He was rumored to be the subject of Morissette's song "You Oughta Know" and, in a 2008 interview with the Calgary Herald, Coulier indicated he thinks the rumor is true, as there are many things about him in the song. However, in the 2021 documentary Jagged, Morissette denied the song is about Coulier, despite the coincidental timing. In 2005, Coulier began dating photographer and producer Melissa Bring. They married on July 2, 2014, in Montana.

Coulier is a private pilot who owns and flies a B35 Bonanza. His first general aviation flight was at the age of five in Michigan. He earned his pilot's license at the same airport later in 1979 and is now instrument rated. In 2012, he did more flight training in a Cirrus SR20 to "keep current." He is part of the Hat in the Ring Society to support the AOPA foundation, an organization that promotes safe flying.

Coulier is an ice hockey fan and participates in charity events with the Detroit Red Wings. He is also a fan of the Detroit Tigers and has played in celebrity softball games alongside fellow Tigers fan Tom Selleck.

In popular culture

The Same Picture... blog
The Same Picture of Dave Coulier Every Day is an image blog which publishes the same photograph of Coulier every day.  Begun in 2011 by comedian Aaron Littleton, it is the progenitor of a trend of similarly themed blogs which feature the same content in every daily update.  The trend of such "content homogeneity" has been studied in academic literature.  The trend has also been called "single-topic", and Forbes has called The Same Picture of Dave Coulier Every Day the apotheosis of the movement.

Reception
Media coverage has attributed the blog's unchanging nature as reason for its popularity.  BBC Trending featured the blog and said "It could be that in the constant chaos of social media, perhaps what sometimes people really need is just the same thing over and over again." The AV Club commented on the blog saying: "A port in a storm, The Same Picture Of Dave Coulier Every Day tumblr is perhaps the only consistent thing left in this tumultuous world." The Toronto Standard said, "In a world pervaded with financial uncertainty and intractable conflict, a little consistency is surely warranted, and an anonymous philanthropist has given us just that in blog form."

Other outlets have noted the inherent humor of the blog. In reference to blog, the Mary Sue commented, "Either Tumblr must be crowned King of the Comedy-Based Internet, or it must be stopped. It is difficult to tell which is the better option." The book Geek Lust says, "how long can this madness continue?"

كومانشي (بلغة كومانشي: Nʉmʉnʉʉ) هي أمة أمريكية أصلية من منطقة السهول الكبرى امتدت أراضيها التاريخية، والتي عرفت باسم كومانتشيريا، من شرق نيو مكسيكو وجنوب شرق كولورادو وجنوب غرب كانساس وغرب أوكلاهوما ومعظم شمال غرب تكساس ومنطقة تشيواوا الشمالية. الكومانتشي هم قبيلة معترف بها فدراليا باسم «أمة الكومانشي»، ويقع مقرها في لوتون، أوكلاهوما.

كانت قبيلة الكومانتشي هي المهيمنة في جنوب السهول الكبرى وغالبا ما أخذوا أسرى من القبائل الأضعف أثناء الحروب، وباعوهم كعبيد للمستوطنين الإسبان ومن ثم المكسيكيين من بعدهم. كما أخذوا الآلاف من الأسرى من المستوطنين الإسبان والمكسيكيين والأمريكيين.

يبلغ عدد أعضاء أمة كومانتشي اليوم 15,191 عضوًا، ويقيم حوالي 7,763 منهم في منطقة سلطة القبيلة حول لوتون وفورت سيل والمناطق المحيطة بها في جنوب غرب أوكلاهوما. يقام احتفال رقص سنوي في والترز، أوكلاهوما في منتصف يوليو.

لغة الكومانتشي هي لغة نومية من عائلة اللغات الأوتو أزتكية، تصنف أحيانا على أنها لهجة من لغة الشوشوني. 1٪ فقط من الكومانتشي يتحدثون لغتهم اليوم.

اسم «كومانتشي» هو من اسم أطلقه اليوتي عليهم، kɨmantsi وتعني العدو. في حين أطلق عليهم الفرنسيون اسم بادوكا ، وهو الاسم الذي أطلقه عليهم السيو، فيما أطلقوا على أنفسهم اسم نيمينيم أو الناس.

الحكومة

يقع مقر أمة كوماتشي في مدينة لوتون في أوكلاهوما. تقع منطقتهم القبلية في مقاطعات كادو، وكومانتشي، وكوتون، وجرادي، وجيفرسون، وكيوا، وستيفنز، وتيلمان. تتطلب عضوية القبيلة نسبة الثمن من النسب (أي ما يعادل أحد والدين الجدين).

التنمية الاقتصادية

وتدير القبيلة سلطة الإسكان الخاصة بها وتصدر بطاقات قبلية. ولديها إدارات تعليم عالي خاصة بهم، وهي تمنح المنح الدراسية والمساعدات المالية لتعليم أعضاء. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فهي تشغل كلية أمة كومانتشي في لوتون. وهي تملك عشر متاجر دخان قبلي وأربعة كازينوهات.

المؤسسات الثقافية

في عام 2002، قامت القبيلة بتأسيس كلية أمة كومانتشي، وهي كلية قبلية بمدة دراسة لعامين في لوتون. وقد أغلقت منذ ذلك الحين.

في شهر يوليو من كل عام، يلتقي الكومانتشي من جميع أنحاء الولايات المتحدة للاحتفال بتراثهم وثقافتهم في والترز في مهرجان رقص الكومانتشي السنوي. يقام معرض أمة الكومانتشي في شهر سبتمبر. كما تستضيف مهرجاني رقص سنويين – واحدة خلال العام الجديد والآخر في شهر مايو.

Der römisch-katholische Dom St. Olav () ist Bischofskirche und Sitz des Bistums Oslo, gelegen in der norwegischen Hauptstadt Oslo.

Bauwerk
Die Kirche befindet sich außerhalb der Innenstadt am Erlöserfriedhof (Vår Frelser kirkegård). Der Bau wurde nahezu ausschließlich über Spenden finanziert. Die größte Einzelspende kam von der katholischen Königin Josephine. Einige der heutigen Ausstattungsstücke wie z. B. das Altarbild stammen aus ihrem Privatbesitz. Die beiden deutschstämmigen Architekten Heinrich Ernst Schirmer und Wilhelm von Hanno waren die Erbauer der neugotischen Kirche, bei der im Jahr 1852 der Grundstein gelegt wurde. Die Kirche wurde 1856 der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht, blieb aber bis 1896 ungeweiht, da es in Norwegen keine katholischen Bischöfe gab. Erst mit der Errichtung des Bistums Oslo 1953 wurde die Kirche in den Rang einer Kathedrale erhoben. Sie ist bereits die zweite katholische Kathedrale in Oslo, die erste (St. Hallvard) war eine romanische Kirche aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Zwischenzeitlich wurde sie protestantisch, musste aber nach einem Brand 1667 abgebrochen werden. Die Überreste dienten als Baumaterial für die Festung Akershus.

Ausstattung
St. Olav ist das religiöse Zentrum für die ca. 200.000 in Norwegen lebenden Katholiken. Der Tabernakel aus italienischem Marmor ist ein Geschenk von Papst Pius IX. In der Olavskirche befindet sich auch die einzige Reliquie des Königs Olav, des Schutzpatrons Norwegens. Die letzte große Renovierung erfolgte 1975/76.

Orgel
Die Orgel wurde 1970 von dem Orgelbauer J. H. Jørgensen erbaut. Das Instrument hat 20 Register auf zwei Manualen und Pedal. Die Trakturen sind mechanisch.

Ubon Ratchathani (, ) is one of the four major cities of Isan (with Khorat/Nakhon Ratchasima, Udon Thani, and Khon Kaen), also known as the "big four of Isan." The city is on the Mun River in the southeast of the Isan region of Thailand, and is located  away from Bangkok. It is known as Ubon () for short. The name means "royal lotus city". Ubon is the administrative center of Ubon Ratchathani Province.

As of 2006, the Ubon Ratchathani urban area had a population of about 200,000. This included 85,000 in Thetsaban Nakhon Ubon Ratchathani (Ubon municipality), 30,000 each in Thetsaban Mueang Warin Chamrap (Warin municipality) and Thetsaban Tambon Kham Yai, 24,000 in Thetsaban Tambon Saen Suk, 10,000 each in Thetsaban Tambon Pathum and Tambon Kham Nam Saep, and 6,000 in Thetsaban Tambon Ubon.

History

The city was founded in the late 18th century by Thao Kham Phong, descendant of Phra Wo and Phra Ta, who escaped from King Siribunsan of Vientiane into the Siam Kingdom during the reign of King Taksin the Great. Later, Thao Kham Phong was appointed to be "" (Thai: พระประทุมวงศา) and the first ruler of Ubon Ratchathani. In 1792, Ubon Ratchathani became a province and was also the administrative center of the monthon Isan. Until 1972, Ubon Ratchathani was the largest province of Thailand by area. Yasothon Province was split off from Ubon Ratchathani Province in 1972, followed by Amnat Charoen Province in 1993. Ubon Ratchathani Province now ranks fifth in area.

The city was attacked by French forces during the 1940 Franco-Thai War.

Ubon grew extensively during World War II when Japanese forces brought in prisoners of war by rail from Kanchanaburi, the survivors of the Burma Railway. One legacy of this is a monument in the city's central Thung Si Meuang Park, erected by British prisoners of war in gratitude to the citizens of Ubon Ratchathani for assisting them. During the Vietnam War, United States armed forces constructed Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base, which is now also a dual-use commercial airport.

Some of the city's religious buildings show the influence of Lao architecture.

The city has branches of the National Archives of Thailand and National Museum of Thailand.

The world-famous meditation teacher Ajahn Chah, teacher of Ajahn Sumedho, was born in Ubon Ratchathani.

Geography
The elevation is . It is  from Bangkok.

Ubon Ratchathani sits on the north bank of the Mun River. The south bank of the river is occupied by the suburb of Warin Chamrap (Warin for short), which is effectively incorporated into the city.

Climate
Ubon Ratchathani has a tropical wet and dry climate (Köppen climate classification Aw). Winters are dry and very warm. Temperatures rise until April with an average daily maximum of . The monsoon season runs from late April to October, with heavy rain and somewhat cooler temperatures during the day, although nights remain warm.

Festivals
Ubon Ratchathani is best known for its annual Candle Festival, held in July to mark the beginning of the rainy season retreat for Buddhists, Wan Khao Phansa, also called Buddhist Lent. One day prior, candles are taken to Thung Si Mueang, the central park in the middle of the city; the park is decorated and exhibited in the evening. On the same evening, there are many smaller processions during which candles are carried to practically all Buddhist temples in Thailand. The main procession in Ubon Ratchathani takes place early the next morning. The events are marked by ceremonies and processions in the form of large-scale, colourful parades of magnificent floats with huge, extravagant candlewax sculptures, Thai traditional dance and music.

Sights and attractions

The province is known for its strong Buddhist tradition, particularly the practice of monks dwelling in the forest ( Phra thudong, pilgrimage, lit. "hiking monk"). Wat Nong Pah Pong, for example, is a Buddhist forest monastery in the Thai Forest Tradition, which was established by Venerable Ajahn Chah Subhaddo in 1954. Ajahn Chah's style of teaching and personality had a notable ability to reach people of other nationalities. Many foreigners came to learn from, train under, and be ordained by Ajahn Chah. Wat Pa Nanachat (International Forest Monastery) was established in 1975. It currently has over fifty monks representing twenty-three nationalities.

Other Buddhist temples in and around the city include Wat Thung Si Mueang (), in the center of the city, featuring an old wooden library on stilts in a small lake, and Wat Nong Bua near the Big C mall, featuring a chedi modelled on Bodh Gaya in India.

Peggy Sundelle Charren (nascida Peggy Walzer; Nova York, 9 de março de 1928 - Dedham, 22 de janeiro de 2015) foi uma ativista estadunidense, conhecida por ter fundado em 1968 a Action for Children's Television (ACT), uma organização nacional de defesa dos direitos da criança. A organização foi fundada em um esforço para encorajar a diversidade de programação infantil e eliminar os abusos comerciais na programação infantil de televisão.

Biografia
Charren nasceu Peggy Walzer em uma família judia em 9 de março de 1928, filha de Ruth (nascida Rosenthal) e Maxwell Walzer. Seus avós eram imigrantes originários da Rússia. Em 1949, Charren se formou no Connecticut College e depois assumiu o cargo de diretora do departamento de cinema na WPIX-TV, um canal de TV que transmite para a cidade de Nova York. Atuou também como diretora do Creative Arts Council de Newton, Massachusetts, fundou uma empresa que organizava feiras de livros infantis, a Quality Book Fair; e possuía uma galeria especializada em artes gráficas, a Art Prints.

Carreira
Em 1968, após ficar preocupada com o baixo nível da programação infantil que suas duas filhas pequenas assistiam e com o alto volume de propaganda direcionada a crianças que era exibido na TV, Peggy fundou a Action for Children's Television (ACT), uma organização não governamental sem fins lucrativos dedicada a aumentar a diversidade de qualidade nas opções de televisão para crianças. Como a Lei de Comunicações de 1934 (Communications Act of 1934) exigia que os canais de televisão estadunidenses servissem ao interesse público em troca do uso do espectro de radiodifusão, ela fez lobby e pressionou os canais de TV a promover programas de televisão educativos direcionados à crianças e adolescentes. Em 1990, o Congresso dos Estados Unidos aprovou a Lei de Televisão Infantil (Children's Television Act), que exigia que todas as estações de televisão transmitissem programação educacional para crianças. Em 1992, a ACT foi extinta, embora Charren continuasse a trabalhar e, em 1996, as regras se tornaram ainda mais rígidas, exigindo que os canais de televisão transmitissem três horas de programação infantil por semana.

List of political scandals in Canada


He, She and It (retitled Body of Glass in the United Kingdom) is a 1991 cyberpunk novel by Marge Piercy. It won the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1993. The novel's setting is post-apocalyptic America and follows a romance between a human woman and a cyborg created to protect her community from corporate raiders, while interweaving a secondary narrative of the creation of a golem in 17th century Prague. Like Piercy's earlier novel Woman on the Edge of Time (1976), He, She, and It also examines themes such as gender roles, political economy, and environmentalism.

Plot summary

The story of He, She and It takes place in North America in the year 2059. At that time, the economic and political power was held by a few multis—huge multinational enterprises with their own social hierarchy that produced an affluent society. However, the main part of the population lives in the glop outside of the multis' enclaves within an environment that has mainly been destroyed. There, life is dominated by poverty, gang wars, and the law of the strongest. An exception to this is the so-called free towns that are able to sell their technologies to the multis but remain autonomous. Communication is handled via a network that allows the participants to project themselves into Cyberspace.

When the protagonist Shira loses custody of her son Ari to her ex-husband Josh, she returns from her multi Yakamura-Stichen (Y-S) to her hometown Tikva (Hope in Hebrew) - a Jewish freetown. There, she starts working on the socialisation of the cyborg Yod (the tenth letter in Hebrew and a symbol for God in Kabbalah), who has been created illegally by Avram to protect the city. Yod is the tenth cyborg (a robot with human appearance and programmed human characteristics) in a row of previously failed experiments whose programming has partially been completed by Malkah, Shira's grandmother. Shira and Yod build up a (sexual) relationship between them and Shira's childhood sweetheart Gadi, Avram's son, also comes back to Tikva, due to his banishment for sleeping with a young girl. During the time when Malkah is working on a chimaera (security software) to protect the city from an online attack, she is attacked by Y-S, but Yod is able to stop the attack.

Eventually, Y-S invites Shira to a new hearing concerning the custody of her son. Shira is accompanied by Yod, Yod's mother, Riva, and Nili, a biotechnologically enhanced woman from a nuclear-devastated Israel. The situation escalates into violence, and the Y-S delegation and Riva die in the fight. In response, Shira, Malkah and Yod decide to infiltrate the Y-S network base and manage to get hold of personnel files revealing a conspiracy against Shira and Tikva.

As the next step, Shira and Yod are accompanied by Nili and Gadi into the Glop. Here, they get in contact with an organised underground group in which they discover Riva is still alive and participating in resistance activities. From the Glop, they travel into the Y-S enclave in Nebraska to kidnap Ari. There, Josh is killed by Yod. Back to Tikva, Shira's family spends some quiet time until Y-S invites them to a further meeting on the net. Y-S demands that Yod be handed over, for Y-S to acquire its technology. Avram agrees to the deal with the hope of creating another cyborg. So, Yod agrees to destroy him/itself when sent to the enclave. However, Yod made sure that his own explosion would cause a synchronous explosion in Avram's lab. As Avram dies in this accident and all his notes are destroyed, the creation of a further cyborg becomes impossible.

Finally, Malkah leaves Tikva with Nili to visit a secret town in post-nuclear holocaust Israel and to profit from the possible biotechnological enhancements. Shira is integrated into Tikva's society further. When she discovers copies of the notes concerning Yod, she initially plans on recreating Yod, but ultimately she respects his wishes and destroys them.

The main plot is interwoven with a story Malkah tells Yod that deals with Rabbi Judah Loew who Malkah depicts as her ancestor living in the ghetto of Prague around 1600. To protect the Jewish community from the Christian mob, Loew uses the knowledge of Kabbalah to create the golem Joseph from clay. His granddaughter Chava, a highly educated woman, teaches Joseph to read and write. Joseph successfully protects the ghetto and begins to think of himself as human and makes a plea for his right to a human existence. However, when the pogrom climate calms down, Loew returns Joseph to clay. The two stories are mutually illuminating, both asking what it means to be human both from the perspective of man-made life and that of those who love artificial lives.

August Varenius (ursprünglich: Varen; * 20. September 1620 in Hitzacker; † 15. März 1684 in Rostock) war ein deutscher lutherischer Theologe, der als Professor an der Universität Rostock lehrte.

Leben
Varenius war ein Sohn des braunschweigisch-lüneburgischen Hofpredigers Heinrich Varenius (1595–1635) und seiner Frau Anna Freder († 1623). Sein Bruder Bernhard Varenius (1622–1650 oder 1651) machte sich als Geograph einen Namen.

Nach dem Studium der Evangelischen Theologie in Helmstedt, Königsberg und Rostock sowie dem Studium des Hebräischen in Hamburg promovierte Varenius am 30. August 1643 zum Magister und wurde anschließend Professor der Hebräischen Sprache und christlichen Katechese an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Rostock. 1648 promovierte er zum Lizentiat an der Theologischen Fakultät in Rostock, 1650 wurde er zum Dr. theol. promoviert. 1663 rückte er auf die zweite herzogliche Professur der Theologie in Rostock auf, die er bis zu seinem Tod innehatte. Er amtierte acht Mal als Rektor der Universität.

Als Vertreter der lutherischen Orthodoxie verfasste Varenius zahlreiche Streitschriften gegen Katholiken, Calvinisten und Sozinianer, aber auch exegetische und dogmatische Werke sowie theologische Disputationen.

Rayleigh quotient iteration is an eigenvalue algorithm which extends the idea of the inverse iteration by using the Rayleigh quotient to obtain increasingly accurate eigenvalue estimates.

Rayleigh quotient iteration is an iterative method, that is, it delivers a sequence of approximate solutions that converges to a true solution in the limit. Very rapid convergence is guaranteed and no more than a few iterations are needed in practice to obtain a reasonable approximation.  The Rayleigh quotient iteration algorithm converges cubically for Hermitian or symmetric matrices, given an initial vector that is sufficiently close to an eigenvector of the matrix that is being analyzed.

Algorithm

The algorithm is very similar to inverse iteration, but replaces the estimated eigenvalue at the end of each iteration with the Rayleigh quotient. Begin by choosing some value  as an initial eigenvalue guess for the Hermitian matrix . An initial vector  must also be supplied as initial eigenvector guess.

Calculate the next approximation of the eigenvector  by

where  is the identity matrix,
and set the next approximation of the eigenvalue to the Rayleigh quotient of the current iteration equal to

To compute more than one eigenvalue, the algorithm can be combined with a deflation technique.

Note that for very small problems it is beneficial to replace the matrix inverse with the adjugate, which will yield the same iteration because it is equal to the inverse up to an irrelevant scale (the inverse of the determinant, specifically). The adjugate is easier to compute explicitly than the inverse (though the inverse is easier to apply to a vector for problems that aren't small), and is more numerically sound because it remains well defined as the eigenvalue converges.

Example

Consider the matrix

for which the exact eigenvalues are ,  and , with corresponding eigenvectors

,   and .

(where  is the golden ratio).

The largest eigenvalue is  and corresponds to any eigenvector proportional to

We begin with an initial eigenvalue guess of

.

Then, the first iteration yields

the second iteration,

and the third,

from which the cubic convergence is evident.

Octave implementation

The following is a simple implementation of the algorithm in Octave.

function x = rayleigh(A, epsilon, mu, x)
  x = x / norm(x);
  % the backslash operator in Octave solves a linear system
  y = (A - mu * eye(rows(A))) \ x;
  lambda = y' * x;
  mu = mu + 1 / lambda
  err = norm(y - lambda * x) / norm(y)

  while err > epsilon
    x = y / norm(y);
    y = (A - mu * eye(rows(A))) \ x;
    lambda = y' * x;
    mu = mu + 1 / lambda
    err = norm(y - lambda * x) / norm(y)
  end

end

En la parte de la solana de la Sierra de Ávila, por encima de Amavida, se encuentran actualmente las ruinas de un antiguo convento agustino fundado en año 1504 por Francisco de la Parra bajo la advocación de la Virgen de las Angustias y al que se tituló Nuestra Señora del Risco.

Constituyó un importante centro de evangelización y, prácticamente, el único centro cultural durante la Baja Edad Media en el alfoz de lo que hoy es la provincia de Ávila.

El monasterio tenía iglesia, claustro, residencia para los monjes, mirador, terrazas para el cultivo, hospedería para peregrinos, establos, almacenes y una buena red de abastecimiento de agua y caminos de acceso.

Actualmente sólo quedan en pie la torre del campanario, el arco de entrada de la antigua iglesia, parte del ábside (oculto por la vegetación) y restos de los muros de diferentes dependencias.

Ha sufrido un importante abandono, además de múltiples destrozos y expolios. Recientemente ha sido incluido en la lista roja de monumentos en peligro de ruina que elabora la asociación Hispania Nostra.

Localización

El monasterio se encuentra situado en el Valle de Amblés, al noroeste de la población de Amavida, término municipal al que pertenece desde el año 2000 y desde donde es visible.

Desde lo alto de la torre de este antiguo complejo de construcciones, es posible divisar todo el valle, que se encuentra flanqueado por la Sierra de la Paramera al Sur, La Serrota al Oeste y la Sierra de Ávila al Norte.

Incluso, en los días muy claros, desde esta ubicación se alcanza a ver Navacerrada y la montaña de la Mujer Muerta, ya en Segovia.

El monasterio antiguamente era punto de encuentro entre tres caminos bien definidos que se originaban en Villatoro, Vadillo de la Sierra y Amavida.

Actualmente el acceso se puede realizar desde el mismo Amavida, siguiendo antiguas calzadas de piedra que se encuentran parcialmente empedradas o, desde el Norte, siguiendo el trayecto que viene desde Vadillo de la Sierra.

Historia
Los restos más antiguos identificables sobre la zona donde se encontraba este monasterio corresponden a una serie de petroglifos que se puede observar cercanos a las ruinas del convento.

En una oquedad entre grandes rocas, que da acceso a una plataforma, se encuentran grabados en la roca dos círculos, uno de radio doble que el otro, separados por un triángulo. El triángulo podría ser representación de un monte y los círculos representación del sol y la luna, interpretación que vendría avalada por estar orientados hacia el llamado Risco del Sol, pico situado al otro lado del Valle Amblés, en la sierra de la Paramera. Hasta el momento no se han podido identificar su origen y ni el significado.

Según la tradición, el culto en este lugar comienza en tiempos de la conquista musulmana, cuando los cristianos ocultaron en esta misma zona y al abrigo de una roca, una imagen de la Virgen de las Angustias para que no fuera destruida por los infieles.

Cuenta la historia que en el , año 1320, un pastor que iba buscando una cabra que se le había perdido, encontró la imagen de la Virgen del Risco en una cueva. Una figura de la Virgen que se apoyaba en una cruz y tenía entre sus brazos a su Hijo muerto.

Entre las piedras donde se encontró, fray Francisco de la Parra erigió en 1504 una pequeña ermita bajo la advocación de la Virgen de las Angustias, denominándola Nuestra Señora del Risco.
El padre Francisco, agustino que en otro momento había dirigido las más importantes casas monacales de Castilla, decidió retirarse al eremitario risqueño para pasar en él sus últimos días, pero, dado su espíritu emprendedor, no dudó en pocos años en solicitar al señor de Villatoro y al obispo Ruiz que le concediesen autorización para crear en el lugar un convento.

De esta manera, en 1530 la ermita se transformó en un convento de la orden de San Agustín, con una construcción de estilo gótico tardío, con matices que asemejan al estilo herreriano.

En el año 1564, por mediación de su cuarto prior, Antonio de Priego, se consiguió, previo consentimiento del mitrado J. Bernardo de Fresneda, que su provisor D. Antonio Hernández, diera nueva licencia para que "puedan pedir limosna en todo el obispado" (15 de diciembre de 1564). A partir de ese momento el convento agustino del Risco, se convierte no solo en un lugar de meditación y peregrinación, sino también en un lugar receptor de riqueza que, pronto, por su rápido desarrollo económico, tuvo una decisiva influencia en la comarca.
Durante el ,como únicos documentos a destacar se encuentran: la cesión al convento  por parte del arzobispo y capitán general de México fray Payo Enríquez de Ribera de dos censos en Madrid sobre sisas de vino y aceite (1683); y otro en el que se hace una valoración de los bienes que poseían en Mombeltrán, que se cifran en 69 966 reales.

Al inicio del , la cabaña ganadera propiedad del convento del Risco era relativamente importante (se estima que llegó al poseer hasta 5000 cabezas de ganado ovino), pero sus actividades financieras no se limitaban en exclusiva a esta explotación, sino que abarcaban otras como la agrícola e industrial.

La iglesia fue renovada a finales del , en 1775 se levantó su magnífica torre y, en 1791, se añadieron retablos neoclásicos a las naves del templo.

Su decadencia comenzaría en el .

Durante la Guerra de la Independencia fue lugar de refugio de guerrilleros. Sufrió los efectos de la ocupación francesa y los estragos de los saqueos de los lugareños, que, resentidos por las condiciones desfavorecedoras que habían sufrido durante años, aprovechaban la situación para obtener lo que podían del monasterio.

A partir de entonces sólo quedaron algunos monjes y en el año 1835 se vio afectado por el decreto de exclaustración de conventos que no tuviesen un mínimo de doce religiosos.

Después sufriría los efectos de la desamortización y el deterioro ocasionado por el abandono.

El Risco y la Mesta
Los ganados pertenecientes al Risco participaron en la trashumancia entre los pastos de Castilla y las dehesas extremeñas. Pero, las más de la veces los ganados risqueños se desplazaban en distancias cortas; Campo  Arañuelo y, especialmente, la dehesa de Fuente el Caño, en Gálvez (Toledo). En numerosos escritos se hace evidente que los frailes del Risco, estaban integrados en la organización mesteña. A ella recurrían cuando se hacía necesaria la defensa de sus intereses, y, al igual que el resto de sus ganaderos, contribuían con su aportación para mantenerla. Está documentado para los pueblos de la Comunidad y comarcanos el pago de mestilla, pero el Risco además de las aportaciones que eran habituales para el mantenimiento del Honrado Concejo de la Mesta, participaba con una aportación que, como gratitud del Consejo de la Mesta, hacia el rey en momentos de necesidad.

Así en 1793 se acordó que la contribución del Honrado Concejo debería de ser un cuento (un millón) de reales en cuatro años, por lo que se pasó al Risco solicitud para que hiciese efectiva su cuota crrespondiente, en estos términos:

El Risco y la Desamortización

El 29 de octubre de 1835, afectado por el primer decreto de exclaustración referente a los conventos que no tuviesen un mínimo de doce religiosos, se determina la finalización y exclaustración del monasterio de Nuestra Señora del Risco, por el comisionado Gaspar Domínguez.

En el Año 1843, la finca de 11 Ha en la que se encuentra incluido el monasterio, se vende por un precio de 101 000 reales, siendo sus adquirientes Juan Torres y Pascual Fidalgo.

El mismo año 1843, se subasta el convento en 22 000 reales; Se anuncia la subasta del edificio que fue convento de agustinos distante 3/4 de legua de Villatoro, que sólo exinten las paredes, y es de sillería la fachada principal, esquinas de todo el edificio y torre, la cual se halla sin menor detrimento, y seis vigas de 36 pies de largo y cuatro de grueso. El convento salió de nuevo a subasta el 30 de mayo del mismo año (se ignoran las razones y quien fue el comprador, pero sin duda fue el funcionario que realizó las anotaciones de la subasta, puesto que el libro de la adjudicación figura puesto a mano "YO".

Todavía hoy se pueden contemplar los empedrados caminos, algunas paredes de su fábrica, las terrazas, la obra de abastecimiento de agua y otros servicios. Por último la espléndida torre, la que viera rematar el prior Antonio Aguileta en 1773.

La mayor parte de ropas y alhajas de dicho convento, así como las campanas y la imagen de la Virgen, fueron bajadas a la parroquia de Villatoro, dónde hoy la imagen de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias preside el retablo principal. Pero no solo Villatoro fue quien heredó los bienes del Risco, uno de los ternos y algunas cosas más fueron llevadas a Piedrahíta, otro terno, el mejor que tenían los religiosos se lo llevaron al  Convento de la Santa en Ávila y la imagen de San Agustín fue para la parroquia de Vadillo de la Sierra.

A Ávila fueron también dos misales de la orden para el santuario de Nuestra Señora de Sonsoles, así como para las parroquias de Santo Domingo y san Pedro, e incluso a la Catedral del Salvador de Ávila llegó alguna de las imágenes del Risco.

Personajes Ilustres
El monasterio fue una referencia importante dentro de la orden de los Agustinos. Por él pasaron figuras destacadas cómo

Giovanni Battista Alfano (Napoli, 8 de dezembro de 1878 — Nápoles, 27 de dezembro de 1955) foi um sacerdote católico que se destacou no campo da sismologia e da vulcanologia. Também se dedicou à escrita em matérias de teologia e de parapsicologia, tendo recebido da Santa Sé o título honorífico de «monsenhor».

Biografia
Nasceu na paróquia de Materdei de Nápoles, filho de Giovanni Battista e Nicotera Concetta. Terminou o ensino liceal em 1889, tendo-se matriculado no Seminário Maior de Nápoles (Seminario Maggiore di Napoli) a 18 de junho desse mesmo ano de 1889. Foi ordenado presbítero em 21 de dezembro de 1901, com um ano de antecipação em relação à idade canónica. Iniciou nesse ano funções pastorais na sua paróquia natal, a paróquia napolitana de Materdei, as quais manteria até 1930.  A 20 de agosto 1930 o cardeal Alessio Ascalesi nomeou-o cónego da Catedral de Nápoles, benefício de que tomou posse a 24 de agosto daquele ano. Manteve-se em funções como cónego até 19 de junho de 1948, data em que pediu dispensa das suas funções por motivos de saúde.

Matriculou-se no curso de Ciências Naturais da Universidade de Nápoles, onde foi aluno de Giuseppe Mercalli, obtendo a licenciatura (Laurea in Scienze Naturali) a 19 de junho de 1906 com uma tese sobre anatomia comparada elaborada sob a orientação de Antonio Della Valle.

Após a erupção do Vesúvio de 1906, foi nomeado director do Observatório Sísmico de Pompeia (Osservatorio Sismico di Pompei ), em Pompeia, cargo que exerceu de 1907 a 1933. Foi também fundador de um observatório sísmico nas instalações do Seminário Maior do Seminário Arcebispal de Nápoles (Seminario Maggiore do Seminario Arcivescovile di Napoli), onde foi professor de Ciências Naturais e de Física de 1907 a 1943, para além de ter ali construído o primeiro sismógrafo italiano, instrumento presentemente à guarda do Observatório do Vesúvio (Osservatorio Vesuviano). Para além do seu trabalho no Seminário, acumulou funções como professor de Ciências Naturais em diversas instituições de ensino napolitanas ligadas à Igreja Católica, entre as quais o Seminario di Castellammare di Stabia, a Scuola Normale Nicola Fornelli, as Scuole magistrali delle Figlie della Carità all'Arco Mirelli e a Facoltà Teologica Napoletana (onde ensinou Medicina Pastoral).

Foi assistente no Istituto vulcanologico Friedlaender, instituição fundada em Vomero (Nápoles) por Immanuel Friedlaender. A colaboração com este vulcanólogo alemão de ascendência judaica foi extensa e próxima, o que levou este cientista a oferecer a sua biblioteca e instrumentos do observatório ao Seminário Arcebispal quando foi obrigado a refugiar-se na Suíça ao ser perseguido por ser considerado pelas autoridades fascistas italianas e pelo regime nazi como judeu no período que antecedeu a Segunda Guerra Mundial. É autor de numerosos textos sobre sismologia, vulcanologia, geofísica e meteorologia. Foi colaborador da Enciclopedia Italiana. Cultivou também a parapsicologia, sendo sócio activo da Società Italiana di Metapsichica, instituição fundada por Ferdinando Cazzamalli com quem colaborou.

Foi membro da Pontificia Accademia dei Nuovi Lincei desde 1911, sócio da Accademia di San Pietro in Vincoli (1912), da qual foi secretário, sócio da Società Metereologica Italiana (1912), sócio da Società dei Naturalisti di Napoli (1913), sócio da Società Sismologica Italiana (1919), sócio da Società per il Progresso della Scienza (1919) e sócio da Società degli Spettroscopisti Italiani (1920). Também foi censor de livros na cúria de Nápoles (Curia Arcivescovile di Napoli).

A sua acção pioneira no estudo do Vesúvio é lembrada no Museo Vesuviano Giovan Battista Alfano.
