'''Jesper Juul''' (born {{birth date|1948|4|18}} is a Danish [[family therapist]] and [[author]] that argues that today's families are at an exciting crossroads because the destructive values — obedience, physical and emotional violence, and conformity — that governed traditional hierarchical families are being transformed.

Jesper Juul has for many years - and in a wide range of settings - been working with children and young people with behavior difficulties, pedagogical development in schools and kindergartens and also with groups of single mothers and parentgroups. He was the director of the Kempler Institute of Scandinavia Centre for family and post graduate education from 1979 until 2004.

In addition to this, Jesper Juul engaged himself, on a voluntary basis, in the work with children, young people and families in refugee camps during the war in the former Jugoslavia, where he also provided counselling and post graduate education to local professionals.

The Sand Cat is a composite armored vehicle designed by [[Plasan Sasa]] of [[Israel]]. It is based on a commercial [[Ford F-Series]] chassis shortened to a 112" wheelbase by Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier, Manning Equipment of [[Louisville, Kentucky]]. <ref>http://www.greaterlouisville.com/content/community/FYI/pdf/files/manning%20plans%20military%20vehicle%20on%20ford%20frames.doc</ref> Originally designed as a potential replacement for the [[IDF]]'s M-240 Storm Jeeps <ref>http://www.plasansasa.com/pdf/Armada_April_May_2006.pdf</ref> they have since developed numerous versions of the vehicle from 4 to 6 tons to transport up to 8 soldiers. <ref>http://www.compositesworld.com/news/cwweekly/2006/July/cw110548</ref> Examples have undergone trials by the IDF in Israel <ref>http://www.defense-update.com/products/s/sandcat.htm</ref> and the US Army at the [[Aberdeen Proving Grounds]] in [[Maryland]].
It was first shown publically as the [[Caracal]] at the AUSA show in October 2005. It has since been presented at the various shows including the 2005 Milipol law enforcement show in [[Paris]], the 2006 Mid-America Trucking Show, and 2006 Eurosatory under the name "Sand Cat".
A heavily armored version of the Sand Cat featuring ceramic body parts was presented to the US Military at the Platform System Demonstrator event in August 2006. <ref>http://www.battle-technology.com/this_issue05c.html</ref>

The distinctive design was described by Israeli car magazine Hegeh as being "as sexy as a female air-force commander". (Hegeh b'Shetach, May 2006 p.38) The trapezoid shaped side windows are designed however to reduce the weight of transparent armor without adversely affecting the field of vision.
The fully armored body utilises a combination of armored steel, ceramics, and composites to provide a field replaceable modular armor package at various threat levels. <ref>http://www.defense-update.com/products/s/sandcat.htm</ref>
The Sand Cat has excellent handling and acceleration for an armored vehicle. The interior is comfortable and spacious and can accomodate an open stretcher. <ref>http://www.defense-update.com/products/s/sandcat-test.htm</ref>

=== Introduction ===

The Dirac equation is a relativistic quantum mechanical wave equation invented by Paul Dirac in 1928 (Dirac 1928a, 1928b) originally designed to overcome the criticism of the Klein-Gordon Equation. The Klein-Gordon equation gave negative probabilities and this is considered to be physically meaningless. Despite this fact, this equation accounts well for Bosons, that is spin zero particles. This criticism leveled against the Klein-Gordon equation, motivated Dirac to successfully seek an equation devoid of negative probabilities.

The Dirac equation is consistent with Quantum Mechanics (QM) and fully consistent with the Special Theory of Relativity (STR). The equation accounts in a natural way for the nature of particle spin as a relativistic phenomenon. The equation successfully predicted the existence of anti-particles. In its bare form, the equation provides an impressive and accurate description of the Electron hence it being referred in most of the literature as the ``Dirac Equation for the Electron". It also accounts well for quarks and other spin half particles although in some of the cases, there is need for slight modifications - for example, you need the Procca equation to describe the neutron.

The first taste of glory of the Dirac equation was it being able to account for the gyromagnetic ratio of the electron, that is <math>g=2</math>, which can not be accounted for using non-relativistic QM. For several years after it's discovery, most physicists believed that it also described the Proton and the Neutron, which are both spin <math>1/2</math> particles. In simple terms, it was thought or presumed that the Dirac equation was a universal equation for spin-1/2 particles.

However, beginning with the experiments of Stern and Frisch in 1933, the magnetic moments of these particles were found to disagree significantly with the predictions of the Dirac equation. The Proton was found to have a gyromagnetic ratio <math>g_p=5.58</math> which is <math>2.79</math> times larger than that predicted by the Dirac equation. The Neutron, which is electrically neutral spin-1/2 particle was found to have a gyromagnetic ratio <math>g_n=-3.83</math>.

These anomalous magnetic moments of the Neutron and Proton which are clearly not conformatory to the Dirac theory have been taken to be experimental indication that these partices are not fundamental particles. In the case of the Neutron, yes it is clearly not a fundamental particle since it does decay into a Proton, Electron and Neutrino, that is, <math>n\rightarrow p+e^- +\nu</math>. If the Dirac equation is a universal equation for fundamental fermion particles, then any fundamental fermion particle must conform to this equation.  Simple, any spin <math>1/2</math> particle that can not be described by it, must therefore not be a fundamental particle of nature.  By definition a fundamental particle is a particle known to have no sub-structure, that is, it can not be broken down into smaller particles thus will not decay into anything else.

From the Standard Model, we know that the Proton and Neutron are composed of quarks thus are not fundamental particles. The question is, is this the reason why these particle's gyromagnetic ratio is different from that predicted by the bare Dirac equation? Prevailing wisdom suggests that anomalous gyromagnetic ratio arise because the particles under question are not fundamental particles. From the theory laid down here, the answer to this is a clear no. The reason for the deviation of the gyromagnetic ratio from that expected from the Dirac theory is (according to this theory) because particles do have a finite size and that spacetime is curved. In this theory the anomalous gyromagnetic ratio arises from the interaction of spin with the Lorentz force in a curved spacetime for a particle of finite spatial size and mass. The derived relation for the anomalous magnetic moment and the particle size is similar to that deduced by Brodsky & Drell (1980) and experimentally verified by Dehmelt (1989). Brodsky & Drell (1980) proposed that fermions do have a sub-structure and this gives rise to the anomalous gyromagnetic ratio which varies as the spatial size and inverse to the mass.

== Ragini Chakravarty--Hindustani Classical Vocalist ==

RAGINI CHAKRAVARTY is a new generation Hindustani Classical Vocalist of the Kirana Gharana. A prominent disciple of Padmabhushan Dr. Prabha Atre.  Gifted with a mellifluous voice and enriched with a refreshingly feminine style of singing Ragini has adapted perfectly to the Kirana gayaki which puts emphasis on melody and sweet intonation of words. Her singing takes one slowly and steadily into the beautiful inner world of a particular raga with elaborate meditative alaap and lilting sargams and then climaxing with intricate taans and fast compositions. 
Ragini has been doing stage performances all over India eliciting tremendous response from the rasikas. She has also been doing concerts on Doordarshan and All India Radio in different forms of vocal music. Thanks to the adaptability of her voice Ragini has excelled in the lighter forms of vocal music too including modern songs and jingles.
Trained in the Gurukul tradition Ragini always finds time to carry on the tradition by imparting music lessons to the young talented disciples

Dr. Prabha Atre Foundation, Swarmayi Gurukul, Mumbai & Pune, India.

== Screaming Eagle Winery ==

'''About Screaming Eagle Winery and Vineyard'''

Screaming Eagle is one of Napa Valley's smallest wineries, and a California cult wine favorite. The little stone winery (a 12- by 18-foot stone building off Silverado Trail) is perched on a rocky hillside in the Oakville Appellation overlooking the vineyard planted in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged in 65% new French oak barrels in a small cave for almost two years. Annual production is approximately 500 cases with most wine sold directly to consumers via a mailing list, however you can buy it here.

The winery was founded in 1989 with its first release of approximately 200 cases of the 1992 vintage. Owner Jean Phillips, who purchased the 60-acre property in 1986, along with wine maker Heidi Peterson Barrett have created a cabernet sauvignon that is sought after by collectors and wine lovers alike, these hard to find wines are often available only in limited quantities.

In March of 2006 the winery was sold to Charles Banks, a money manager for NBA players and other athletes, and Stanley Kroenke, owner of the Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Avalanche hockey team.  The new owners have announced that they have hired famed vineyard manager David Abreu to replant some of the vineyard. It appears that they are also hiring a new winemaker - Andy Erickson.  Andy has worked at Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and Staglin Family and is currently making wine for Hartwell and Arietta.  He also has his own wine label Favia.  Heidi Peterson Barrett will stay on to complete the vintages she has started through 2005.

In 2001 at the Napa Valley Wine Auction a collector paid $650,000.00 (US) for eight extremely rare 3.0L bottles of Screaming Eagle Wine spanning from 1992 to 1999.

== Dj Inyoung ==

Dj Inyoung (real name Inyoung Whang, b- February 10) makes and mixes hardcore techno, although he does some jungle music. He is mainly known around L.A by fans of the genre who go to see him perform locally, although his websites and word of mouth have helped him get known outside of L.A. He began creating his own music in 1994. A tape with the music was what got him into hardcore. He had before heard mainstream techno, and liked hip hop music so the new sound intruiged him. He began going to lesser known parties which were where he first heard hardcore. He saved some money to buy turntables so he could listen more. Inyoung mixed his own music on the turntables soon after. As time went on, he released mix tapes which would play at parties. Next he came to the undergrond events again. He wouldn't only listen to hardcore this time, but performed his music. After getting some crews and attending more parties he focused on having his music produced. He got a few records released during the mid and late ninties yet would give this part in his career a break until 2003. Deciding this time to go further with producing his music has pushed his progress to what it is currently. He is in a band called L.A's fallen ones with another hardcore Dj, DTM.
Releases:
     Dj Inyoung and Static's song "Beatdown" and "Respect your Enemy" have been released on several hardcore compialation albums and on the top 100 hardcore songs. His albums are on Terror Traxx records Oblivion Records.
With a website, multiple mixes and released records he is relatively successful in the underground harcore scene.

== Saint Dominic Basilica and Main Parish of Valletta ==

During the plague, for example, the friars never failed from their duty of assisting those infected by the disease even when this meant falling victim to it.

During the French occupation, the whole Dominican community was under arrest and imprisoned in Fort St Elmo.   One of the brothers was executed by firing squad.

During World War II the Friars worked tirelessly in order to assist the hungry and the needy.   As bombs fell and the war began to take its toll, the Dominicans were always at hand in order to give spiritual and material assistance. During those times many families in Valletta found refuge and lived for months on end in the crypt below the church that served as an air raid shelter.

____________________________

The Church

The first Dominicans to set up a priory in Valletta arrived from Vittoriosa some time after work had begun on the construction of the new city under the aegis of Grand Master La Valette in 1566. The foundation stone of the church was laid on the 19th April 1571.   The building itself was designed by Girolamo Cassar  and dedicated to Our Lady of Fair Havens (Porto Salvo).  By means of a bull issued on the 2nd July 1571, the Dominican Pope, Pius V, elevated it to a parish.

Unfortunately, this first church suffered extensive damages, caused mainly by earthquakes.  Given the dangerous state of the building, it had to be pulled down.   Construction work on a new church began in earnest, this time according to a plan drawn by architect Anton Cachia.  The new church, which is the one that stands today, was blessed by Bishop Ferdinand Mattei on the 15th May 1815 and consecrated by Bishop Pietro Pace on the 15th October 1889.

The Church measures 38.43 metres in length and 10.6 metres in width.  Besides the main altar, it has six other altars, three on each side, together with two side-chapels.  The altars are dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, St Catherine of Siena, St Pius V, St Dominic, The Holy Name, St Vincent Ferrer.   The side-chapels are dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament and the Crucified Christ together with Our Lady of Sorrows.

During the last years of the 19th century, the church’s ceiling was embellished by a series of frescoes by one of the leading Maltese artists of the period, Giuseppe Cali’.   These works are now undergoing restoration.   Other artists who left their works in St Dominic’s Church are Ramiro Cali’, Francesi, Muccioli, Bottoni and P.P. Caruana.

____________________________

The Parish

As stated above, St Dominic’s became parish by means of a Papal Bull issued on the 2nd July 1571.   The Pope at that time was the Dominican, Pius V.  In this bull Ex Debito Pastorali, the Pope constituted St Dominic’s as the Mother and principal parish of the entire city and its inhabitants.   Naturally, not everybody was pleased that this privilege had been accorded to the Dominicans, especially other church institutions who claimed parochial rights over the new dwellers of the city.  Controversy ensued, and the issue was to be settled definitely only in 1723 when Rome defined the new limits of the Parish.

Obviously all this is now history!   It may be interesting to note, however, that, more recently, the territory of the Parish has been further decreased due to the erection of a third parish in Valletta, that of St Augustine, in 1968.    Though St Dominic’s remains the largest parish in the City, latest records reveal that the number of parishioners stands at under 3000.

____________________________

The Basilica

On the 25th of March this year the Parish and Mother Church of St Dominic in Valletta celebrates the 190th anniversary since it was elevated to the status of Minor Basilica, the first in the Maltese Islands. There are several aspects and privileges of how one can recognize a Basilica from other churches. In these few words we will try explain some of these facts and the history of how the Parish and Mother Church of St.Dominic became a Basilica in 1816.

In the Brief the Benedictine Pope Pius VII states that he is granting this privilege at the request of Bishop Ferdinando Mattei in recognition of the 
heroic endeavours of the Dominican community throughout the plague which had ravaged the Maltese Islands some years earlier.  He also expressed his 
desire to embellish with such a title the beautiful church that had just been built because, in his words, "it deserves to enjoy an added prerogative 
that would render it not only illustrious among the other mentioned churches, but also more venerable."  Some months later Fr. Vincenzo Maria 
Portelli petitioned for the privilege to use the "mozzetta" and the rochet. Aided as always by Bishop Mattei his request was granted by the same Pope on 
January 16th, 1817.  The granting of such a privilege is rare, if not unique.

Important churches in Rome and outside were called basilicas from the title given to important roman houses. These like the Arch basilica of St John Lateran and the Vatican and others are called Immemorial Basilicas. There are two kinds of Basilicas: Major and Minor.  The Major Basilicas are only the four main churches in Rome, all the other even if called Pontifical Basilicas are Minor Basilicas. The Pontifical ones are under the immediate jurisdiction of the Pope rather than the local diocesan bishop, (e.g. Pompei).

The custom of designating churches as basilicas started in Rome around the sixteenth century and this title was given to Collegiate churches. The first Minor Basilica outside Rome was created by Pope Pius VII in Tolentino, the church of the Augustinian Friars that houses the relics of St Nicholas of Tolentino and which is dedicated to him. This was elevated on the 27th June 1783. St Dominic in Valletta is the eighth such in the world elevated in 1816.

The Cathedral church of Lucera was given the title of Minor Basilica in 1834. The Cathedral Chapter wrote to Rome to ask guidelines about what this would mean to them and what arrangements they were to do. It seems that other newly created basilicas had the same problem. The sacred congregation of Rites answered these queries by issuing the decree Lucerina on the 27th August 1836.

It is in that decree that the red and yellow ombrellone is given to all Minor Basilicas, with the four Major ones having it of gold and red velvet and with embroidery. The ombrellone at St Dominic’s Basilica is white and embroidered as this Basilica was created before the decree Lucerina and so the friars must have followed advice given to them from Tolentino and/via Rome. Basilicas created after 1836 are all uniform in their insignia as they could look at Lucerina for directions.

In 1968 the Decree Domus Dei recognised the singular role of a Basilica within the diocese and the Universal Church especially in its ministry to promote unity with the See of Peter. This was confirmed in the decree Domus Ecclesiae of 1989.

As a curiosity in the decree of Pius VII elevating St Dominic’s as Minor Basilica, the Pope grants to the new Basilica the right to be first to ring the Gloria on the Holy Vigil of Easter after the Conventual Church of St John. It seems that this was granted instead of the processional bell normally carried in front of the ombrellone called tintinnabulum or clochetta.

Up to 2003 there were 1073 Basilicas in Europe, 294 in the Americas, 40 in Asia, 12 in Africa and 5 in Oceania

== Fever Magazine ==

Fever Magazine was the first urban/technology magazine, self published by Darrell Green, founder of Fever.Media Entertainment.

It began in Tacoma, Washington as an experimental online website in 1999 providing similar social networking tools to that of today popular websites myspace.com or friendster.com. After it's initial release it quickly became notable for it's mix of urban culture, hip hop music and technology reviews. Through popular demand the publication went to print in March of 2006 and has partnered with such companies as Verizon Wireless, Microsoft and Nintendo in order to bring exclusive technology coverage to the Hip Hop music generation.

Fever was created with the intention to provide a smart alternative to standard urban publications such as the Source magazine, XXL magazine, Vibe magazine and is distributed throughout the United states as well as the United Kingdom

Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs)

What is a Taxon Advisory Group (TAG)?

Established by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association in 1990, TAGs examine the conservation needs of entire taxa, or groups of related species. Examples of some basic taxonomic groups for which AZA TAGs exist are amphibians, felids, penguins, and marine fish.

Search the Conservation Programs Database for information on all of AZA;s conservation programs. Members may log in to the Members Only database to access contact information for program leaders as well as all program documents.

Each TAG consists of representatives from AZA-member institutions, as well as individuals with special expertise, such as AZA Species Survival Plan® (SSP) coordinators, studbook keepers.

What do TAGs do?

Serving as committees of expert advisors, Taxon Advisory Groups assist in the selection of appropriate species for AZA conservation programs and provide a forum for discussing husbandry, veterinary, ethical and other issues that apply to entire taxa. Through regional collection planning, they recommend species for new AZA studbooks, SSPs and other zoo- and aquarium-based programs; establish priorities for management, research and conservation; and recruit qualified individuals to carry out these activities.

In addition, TAGs examine animal management techniques based on scientific studies and assist SSP coordinators in developing animal care and husbandry guidelines. Purposely organized along the same lines as the specialist groups of the IUCN-The World Conservation Union's Species Survival Commission (SSC) and Bird Life International's Taxonomic Specialist Groups, TAGs also promote cooperation and sharing of information between AZA and other regional and international conservation programs.

What is a Regional Collection Plan?

One of the most serious challenges facing zoological professionals today is how to determine which species are most in need of zoo- or aquarium-based conservation programs and how to use the limited exhibition and holding space most efficiently. In the past, personal preferences, the spirit of competition among institutions, and availability often determined which species were acquired and became the focus of scientifically managed captive breeding programs. Today, however, there is a growing appreciation of the need for an organized, broad-based collection planning process that better serves the conservation mission of the North American zoo and aquarium community.

One of the TAG's primary responsibilities is to evaluate the present North American carrying capacity for a given taxonomic group and recommend how this space should be allocated. This strategic planning process results in the development of Regional Collection Plans (RCPs). In developing these plans, TAGs take into account both the limited amount of enclosure space available and the need to maintain animals in populations large enough to ensure their long-term genetic viability and demographic stability. They consider the potential of selected species to contribute to conservation action through education, scientific research, fund-raising to support field conservation, and managed breeding for reintroduction. The goal of this careful planning process is that each species and individual animal held at AZA zoos and aquariums has a defined conservation or education purpose.

How are Regional Collection Plans created?

A number of criteria are involved in the regional collection planning process, and, depending on the particular taxon in question, various factors will carry different weights. For example, in the case of amphibians and invertebrates -- groups that encompass thousands of species -- collection planning often takes a short-term, project-oriented approach. In such cases, research potential may carry a greater weight in the selection of species than factors such as public appeal and ability to assist in long-term fund raising. The selection criteria, therefore, are flexible to allow each TAG to work most efficiently.

The following criteria are often used as a starting point for species evaluation.

== Dana L. French ==

Dana L. French (1958 - ) is a prominent U.S. computer scientist working
in the fields of business continuity, disaster recovery, and high
availability. He has designed and written numerous software packages to
automate the processes of disaster recovery and high availability. He is
most noted for his approach to system administration as an automated
process, rather than an interactive one.  His work as a programmer and
system administrator has influenced the design and implementation of  
Unix systems in organizations all over the world and coined the commonly
used phrase "enterprise wide unique".  His business function approach to
system administration has caused a global shift in the way Unix system  
administrators perform their work.

He operates several companies that specilize in providing business
continuity services to large world wide organizations.  These companies
provide services that include consulting, disaster recovery facilities,
application and business function hosting.

French is well known in the Unix community for his advanced shell
programming skills and is a noted advocate of Korn Shell programming.
He provides source code for most of his programming work on-line free of
charge.  One of his most well known shell libraries is "shell curses",  
which is a shell script implementation of the "C" language "Curses"     
library.  Another is "kshSQL" which is a Korn Shell implementation of a 
complete SQL database system.  French is also the author of "shunix",  
which is a project to implement all of the GNU Unix utilities entirely 
in shell script code.

French is also well known as providing a MicroEMACS binary executable
repository for a very wide variety of operating systems.  MicroEMACS is
a widely used programmers text editor.  Linus Torvalds, the developer of
linux, is a notable MicroEMACS user, and is known to frequent this site.
French has provided continuous access to this repository since 1995.

French currently works as a business continuity consultant, and teaches
courses in disaster recovery planning and Korn Shell programming.  He is
an author and publishes articles on these topics regularly.

== Sonic Animal Alert ==

Sonic animal alerts are small devices that are mounted on the front of a vehicle and which emit a noise to warn animals of the vehicle's approach.

The purpose of these devices is to warn animals of the approaching vehicle. Animals so warned will not be startled by the vehicle's sudden appearance and then possibly run onto the road and be hit.

The sound emitted by the device may be in the audible region or within the ultrasonic region. Devices that emit an audible tone are powered from the vehicle's battery and are turned on when there is danger of large animals in the vicinity. Devices that emit an ultrasonic tone are generally unpowered and rely on the flow of air through them as the vehicle moves in order to generate a tone.

Animals such as deer are the main danger in many countries, whereas in Australia, kangaroos and wombats are the main risk.

It is claimed that ultrasonic tones may also be effective in warning smaller animals such as birds and insects.

Vehicles such as a car, motorcycle or truck may be fitted with these devices.
