[edit] Bannayan's Syndrome
Also known as: Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba Bannayan-Zonana syndrome Riley-Smith syndrome Ruvalcaba Myhre-Smith syndrome
Description: A very rare familial disease with a predilection in males. It manifests with symmetrical macrocephaly without ventricular enlargement, mild neurological dysfunction, and postnatal growth retardation. Mesodermal hamartomas are present and most patients have discrete lipomas and haemangiomas. Associated disorders may include antimongoloid palpebral fissures, high-arched palate, joint hyperextensibility, pectus excavatum, strabismus, amblyopia, drooling, mental retardation, cerebral haemorrhage, and seizures. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.
D. Harris and William R. Smith, Oklahoma, in 1960 described a mother and four of her seven children with the trias of macrocephaly, pseudopapilledema, and multiple haemangiomas. G. A. Bannayan in 1971 described a single case with macrocephaly and multiple lipomas and haemangiomas. R. Ruvalcaba, S. Myhre, and David W. Smith, paediatricians, Seattle, in 1980 described two patients with macrocephaly, intestinal polyposis and spotted pigmentation of the shaft of penis.

[edit] Lense-Thirring Effect

According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, spacetime (space and time) get pulled out of shape near a forcibly-accelerated or rotating body in a phenomenon referred to as frame-dragging. The rotational frame-dragging effect was first derived from the theory of general relativity in 1918 by the Austrian physicists Joseph Lense and Hans Thirring, and is also known as the Lense-Thirring effect. More generally, the subject of field effects caused by moving matter is known as gravitomagnetism.
Lense and Thirring predicted that the rotation of an object would alter space and time, dragging a nearby object out of position compared to the predictions of Newtonian physics. This is the frame-dragging effect. The predicted effect is incredibly small — about one part in a few trillion — which means that you have to look at something very massive, or build an instrument that is incredibly sensitive.
More familiar and already-proven effects of special relativity include the equivalence of mass and energy (as seen in matter-antimatter reactions), and the Lorentz transformations which make objects near lightspeed seem to grow shorter and heavier from the point of view of an outside observer. Recent measurements of satellites in Earth orbit have shown frame dragging and represented another successful prediction of General Relativity.
[edit] Frame dragging effects
- Rotational frame-dragging (Lense-Thirring effect) is the inevitable result of the general principle of relativity, applied to rotation. The relativisation of rotational effects means that a rotating body ought to pull light around with it, in a manner somewhat reminiscent of old "aether-dragging" models. It is now the best-known effect, partly thanks to the Gravity Probe B experiment.
- Accelerational frame dragging is the similarly inevitable result of the general principle of relativity, applied to acceleration. Although it arguably has equal theoretical legitimacy to the "rotational" effect, the difficulty of obtaining an experimental verification of the effect means that it receives much less discussion and is often omitted from articles on frame-dragging (but see Einstein, 1921).
- Velocity frame dragging is even less well known and much more controversial. Its effects (or similar effects) do seem to appear in general relativity, but it is not usually listed as a "valid" example of frame-dragging. The reasons for this are complicated.
- More complex effects can be constructed from these basic building blocks, to produce a variety of effects involving combinations of rotations and accelerations, time-variant acceleration ("jerk") and more complex rotations.
Using recent observations by X-ray astronomy satellites, including NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, a team of astronomers announced in 1997 that they had seen evidence of frame-dragging in disks of gas swirling around a black hole. The team included Dr. Wei Cui of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his colleagues, Dr. Nan Zhang, working at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and Dr. Wan Chen of the University of Maryland in College Park.
[edit] Experimental test of the gravitomagnetic Schiff effect
The gyroscope-based Gravity Probe B experiment aims to detect any frame-dragging effects on the direction of spin of its gyroscopes as it orbits around the Earth. It was successfully launched on April 20, 2004 for an 18-month experiment. If this experiment is successful, it is expected to yield the most accurate measurements yet performed in this field. Indeed, an accuracy of better than 1% is expected.
[edit] Experimental tests of the Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational fields of the Earth, Mars and the Sun
Another consequence of the gravitomagnetic field of a central rotating body is the so-called Lense-Thirring effect (Lense and Thirring 1918). It consists of small secular precessions of the longitude of the ascending node Ω and the argument of pericenter ω of the path of a test mass freely orbiting the spinning main body. de Sitter (1916) worked out the gravitomagnetic pericentre precession in the particular case of equatorial orbits. Lense and Thirring (1918) originally proposed to use the natural satellites of the gaseous giant planets of the Solar System, especially Jupiter, to detect their effect, but such a possibility is not yet viable today (Iorio and Lainey 2005). In regard to the Earth's gravitational field, Cugusi and Proverbio (1978) proposed for the first time to use the LAGEOS satellite, just launched at that time, along with the other existing terrestrial artifical satellites to measure the Lense-Thirring effect with the Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) technique. Later, Ciufolini (1986) proposed to built and launch a new SLR satellite of LAGEOS-type in supplementary orbital configuration with respect to LAGEOS, but, to date, no effective plans have yet been approved to implement such a proposal. For the nodes of the LAGEOS and LAGEOS II satellites the Lense-Thirring node rates amount to ~30 milliarcseconds per year (ms/yr or ms yr − 1). Such tiny precessions would totally be swamped by the much larger classical precessions induced by the even zonal harmonic coefficients 
of the multipolar expansion of the Newtonian part of the terrestrial gravitational potential. Even the most recent Earth gravity models from the dedicated CHAMP and GRACE missions would not allow to know the even zonal harmonics to a sufficiently high degree of accuracy in order to extract the Lense-Thirring effect from the analysis of the node of only one satellite.
Ciufolini (1996) proposed to overcome this problem by suitably combining the nodes of LAGEOS and LAGEOS II and the perigee of LAGEOS II in order to cancel out all the static and time-dependent perturbations due to the first two even zonal harmonics 
. Various analyses with the pre-CHAMP/GRACE JGM-3 and EGM96 Earth gravity models were performed by Ciufolini et al. over observational time spans of some years (Ciufolini et al. 1996; 1997; 1998). The claimed total accuracies were in the range of 20-25% (Ciufolini 2004). However, subsequent analyses by Ries et al. (2003a; 2003b) and Iorio (2003) showed that such estimates are largely optimistic. Indeed, a more conservative and realistic evaluation of the impact of the uncancelled even zonal harmonics 
, according to the adopted EGM96 model, yield a systematic error of about 80% at 1-sigma level. Moreover, also the systematic error due to the non-gravitational perturbations mainly affecting the perigee of LAGEOS II was underestimated.
The opportunities offered by the new generation of Earth gravity models from CHAMP and, especially, GRACE allowed to discard the perigee of LAGEOS II, as pointed out by Ries et al. (2003a; 2003b). In 2003 Iorio, following the strategy put forth by Ciufolini (1996), put explicitly forth a suitable linear combination of the nodes of LAGEOS and LAGEOS II which cancels out the first even zonal harmonic J2 (Iorio and Morea 2004). Such an observable was used by Ciufolini and Pavlis in a test performed with the 2nd generation GRACE-only EIGEN-GRACE02S Earth gravity model over a time span of 11 years (Ciufolini and Pavlis 2004). The claimed total error budget is 5% at 1-sigma level and 10% at 3-sigma level. However, Iorio (2005a; 2005b; 2006a; 2006b) criticized such results because of the neglected impact of the secular variations of the uncancelled even zonal harmonics 
which would amount to about 13%. This would yield a total error of 
20% at 1-sigma level. Moreover, the latest CHAMP/GRACE-based Earth gravity models do not yet allow for a model-independent measurement. Indeed, the systematic error due to the static part of the even zonal harmonics amounts to 4% for EIGEN-GRACE02S, 6% for EIGEN-CG01C and 9% for GGM02S at 1-sigma level. Another potential source of additional systematic bias may be represented by the cross-coupling among J2 and the residuals of the inclination δi, as pointed out by Iorio (2006b). Other papers on such a long-lasting, sometimes harsh, controversy are (Ciufolini and Pavlis 2005; Lucchesi 2005).
By the way, such a controversial test has recently been superseded by an unexpected result in the gravitational field of Mars. Indeed, by suitably interpreting the RMS orbit overlap differences of the out-of-plane portion (Konopliv et al. 2006) of the orbit of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft which orbited the red planet along a nearly polar orbit until November 2006, Iorio (2006c) reported a 6% measurement, on average, of the Lense-Thirring effect. A further analysis (Iorio 2007a), based on a more detailed calculation, extended time span and error analysis, has pushed the precision level of such a test below the 1% level. A lively debate about such finding can be found in (Krogh 2007; Iorio 2007b; Sindoni et al. 2007; Iorio 2007c).
Other preliminary tests of the Lense-Thirring effect induced by the Sun's gravitomagnetic field on the orbital motions of the inner planets of the Solar System can be found in (Iorio 2005c). The predictions of general relativity for the Lense-Thirring perihelion precessions are, in fact, in agreement with the latest determinations of the extra-perihelion advances of the inner planets (Pitjeva 2005a) obtained with the EPM2004 ephemerides (Pitjeva 2005b), but the errors are still large.

[edit] henri de saconay
Henri de Saconay (1396-1445)
The main historical source relating the biography of Henri de Saconey can be found in Jean BEYSSAC, « Les chanoines de l’Eglise de Lyon », Editions Georges, 1914; and in Charles-Henri EYRAUD, « Horloges astronomiques au tournant du XVIIIe siècle : de l’à-peu-près à la précision. » PhD in history from the University of Lyon, 2004.
Henri de Saconay is the son of Guichard de Saconay.
His genealogy can easily be traced on the website of the Société Genevoise de Généalogie. [17]
Henri de Saconay is an ecclesiastic. He read law at the University of Montpellier where he achieved a doctorate of law. His ecclesiastical career followed a well signalled path. He received his “canonicat” in April 1396 and then he became a sexton of the Church of Lyon. He was nominated deputy to the Council of Constance in February 1414. After the Council, he became an active member of the Chapter of the Church of Lyon. He was successively « auditeur des comptes » (1434/35), « juge de la cour du cloître » (in 1435 and 1437), « pacificateur pour le Chapitre » (in 1441 and 1442). He died on the 11 February 1445 at Rochetaillée.
He belonged to the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem and enjoyed the privileges of such a noble order. He was successively, a judge, a curator and an executor of the privileges in the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. At the same time, he was nominated Vicar general of Arles and provost of Ceyzérieu (next to Geneva) this until his death.
On his tomb is graved in the stone:
«Ci-gît le vénérable et illustre seigneur Henri de Saconnay, docteur en droit, chanoine et sacristain de cette bienfaisante (maternelle) église de Lyon, et aussi doyen de Ceyzérieu, dans le diocèse de Genève, qui mourut le . . . de l’année . . . Qu’il repose en paix. Amen »

[edit] Dinoforce
The Dinoforce, also known as kyoryu sentai ("Dinosaur Force") in Japan, was a group of Decepticon Pretenders under the command of Deszaras. Unique to the Dinoforce is their Pretender shells sentience; when the members of the Dinoforce are not merged with their Pretender shells, the shells can think and act on their own. This is most obvious when Goryu rides around on his dinosaur counterpart. Also the shells were fully transformable even though the Dinoforce themselves were never shown to transform. The six robots combine into Dinoking.
The members are:
- Goryu (Tyrannosaurus rex, leader)
- Kakuryu (Triceratops)
- Rairyu (Pteranodon)
- Doryu (Stegosaurus)
- Yokuryu (Apatosaurus)
- Gairyu (Ankylosaurus)
[edit] Transformers: Victory
One of Deszaras' longest-serving units the Dinoforce's actions appear to served no purpose other than random destruction and civilian deaths.
As a result of Deszaras' plans to destroy the Earth by using a powerful space fortress, a meteorite hit the Earth near Dinoking and damaging him greatly. Forcibly seperated the individual units were captured and repaired by the Autobots. In exchange, the Dinoforce gave information about the space fortress' weaknesses. Armed with this knowledge, Star Saber and Victory Leo destroyed the space fortress and defeated the Decepticons guarding it.
The Dinoforce was last seen in retirement from combat. When they were last seen, it appeared they were doing some sort of construction work. Kakuryu's Pretender shell was seen playing with some children.
[edit] Monster Pretenders
Their North American and European counterparts are known as the Monster Pretenders, and they came with different Pretender shells (and monster alternate modes). Together, the six interior robots could combine into Monstructor.

[edit] Willisham
Willisham is a small village in the suburbs of the county town of Suffolk, Ipswich. The small parish village has been present since the 18th century and was once home to wheat and barley farmers. Today the village is home to approximately 500 inhabitants and had 9 new houses built in 2000 down Tye Lane. Unfortunately the village post office was renovated into a house 8 years ago.
Willisham is a very quiet village but can claim being the home of local celebrity Josh Bartlett who plays in the band Fend. He very much keeps himself to himself but often walks his neighbours dogs and goes to the village's masseuse parlor, Rendezvous'.

[edit] Hastings Natural History Reservation
Hastings is a Biological Field Station of the University of California, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and Natural Reserve System. We provide the wildlands and facilities to conduct university and graduate level studies of natural systems in the Santa Lucia mountain range in Monterey County, California. An area of about 2,000 acres, Hastings was set aside in 1937 to be managed with minimal disturbance. Hastings encourages a community of researchers to live lightly in the ecosystem they study. Well over 500 research projects have been conducted since 1937 at Hastings. These studies reveal that every species has a fascinating story. These stories put our lives into perspective. We hope that understanding the natural world around us will inspire people to protect and appreciate whatever is still wild and under their care

Worldwide JAM or WWJ is currently an Internet based magazine aimed mainly toward the Parkour community. The magazine itself features a multitude of articles ranging from the appearance of parkour in the media including when members of the street team appeared on an episode of the BBC's motoring programme Top Gear featuring a race between James May in a new Peugeot 207 against two traceurs (Daniel Ilabaca and Kerbie from Worldwide JAM's 'Street Team') in the city of Liverpool on 23 July 2006.[2] or whenever parkour is covered by even the local media and readers are generally encouraged to report & send in any newspaper or television coverage they have recieved.[3][4] The magazine also features a number of parkour related equipment (like body building gear) or clothing evaluations to show how a traceur can increase his effiency in the discipline by perhaps using the reviewed items, while the Worldwide Jam magazine promises to be impartial, unbiased and balanced some of these "road tests" have actually been written up by the magazines readers although it can be argueed that this kind of reporting helps them achieve their goal.
Back in November 2005, Issue #1 of the magazine was set to have its printing date set and deliveries started, With the first three issues being published bi-monthly and limited to 10,000 copies only, also the magazine was originally only going to be sold via specialist retailers or by subscription.[5] Problems arose however in getting the magazine into an actual physical format for printing which remain to present day. Many members of the parkour community are still awaiting copies of the magazine or refunds after purchacing advanced subscriptions of the magazine.[6] The WWJ website is currently displaying the following message when you click on its Magazine tab:
03/01/07
DETAILS COMING SHORTLY
so hopefully more details on the magazines physical realease should be revealed on that date.
[edit] Planet Parkour
Planet Parkour, is a program on the worldwide jam website that was put together by Chris Phillips and is an adaptation of the Hotspot Map found on the South Coast Parkour community website[7]. The program itself is based on a Google maps API and displays on the map a parkour "hotspot" location, also it is possible for any traceur using the service to set their own personal location showning where they themselves are.
[edit] Global Connect
Global Connect or the International Crew Directory is another service offered by the magazine that enables internet communities or groups of traceurs "teams" to have a link to their own websites by sending in their "crew banner" which comprizes of a 185x60 pixel jpeg or gif image which normally depicts the teams logo. Along with the banner the team must include the crew's website URL which then after admin approval gets added to the main directory on WWJ's website. All WWJ require for this service is to have the crew wishing to be added to the directory place WWJ's own banner on the crew's website.

"On behalf of the Festival for Young People may I say a big thank you to the three rock bands, made up of young students from The Petersfield School, who have raised £700 for skatepark funds. Their gig on December 29 at the Love Lane Community Centre gave not only pleasure to those who attended but also notice to the whole town and in particular the town council, that our young people are prepared to play their part in raising the money required for the new park. Serious fundraising cannot get underway until the design of the new park has been agreed and quotations received from suitable contractors but our young people are showing the way and laying down a challenge to us all. The Festival for Young People holds £1,200 for the skatepark. This money has been raised entirely by the efforts of about 120 10 to 15-year-olds and they should all be congratulated on this achievement. The town council now needs to show more commitment to the project if the momentum is to be maintained.

[edit] Inpainting
Inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost parts in images, so it can actually be interpreted as a special kind of interpolation.
For instance, in the case of a damaged Mona Lisa, this task would hopefully be carried out by a highly skilled restoration artist.
In the digital world, inpainting refers to the application of sophisticated algorithms to recover lost or corrupted parts of the image data.
