During his work on staff at the Chronicle, he reported on news, events, activities, and the judicial process at the Spokane County Courthouse. In 1975, following the success of Expo '74, Geraghty established and began publishing a weekly newspaper known as The Falls, referring to the Spokane River, which prominently passes through Riverfront Park and the central business district, flowing over the Spokane Falls, just under the Monroe Street Bridge. After two years, the newspaper shut down, when it was proven to be unsuccessful. Geraghty said of the venture, "That was really a tough go because we were fighting the [daily newspaper in Spokane]. We were trying to emulate David Brewster and the Seattle weekly he had. We didn't really have the base population to make it work. That's probably one of my |
0_13 | biggest disappointments." |
0_14 | County politics
In 1964, Geraghty was elected to the Spokane County Board of Commissioners. Just 29 years old, he was the youngest county commissioner ever elected. During his time in office, he focused on restructuring county departments.

History
In 1985, the National Science Foundation funded a proposal by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) to assess the status of cross-disciplinary statistical research and to make recommendations for its future. The IMS formed a panel consisted of twelve members from statistics, pure and applied mathematics, chemistry, engineering, computer science, and public affairs, including Ingram Olkin (Co-Chair), Jerome Sacks (Co-Chair), Alfred Blumstein, Amos Eddy, Bill Eddy, Peter C. Jurs, William Kruskal, Thomas Kutz, Gary C. McDonald, Ronald Peierls, Paul Shaman, and William Spurgeon. In 1990, the panel published a report on Cross-Disciplinary Research in the Statistical Sciences that led to the founding of the National Institute of Statistical Sciences. |

3_0 | Lindalva Justo de Oliveira (20 October 1953 - 9 April 1993) was a Brazilian Roman Catholic professed religious and a professed member of the Vincentian Sisters. Oliveira worked at, Dom Pedro II Home, a retirement home, where she was killed in 1993 after a man obsessed with her stabbed her 44 times when she refused his unwanted advances.
Oliveira's beatification received the approval of Pope Benedict XVI who determined that she was killed "in defensum castitatis" - the defense of her vow for being chaste. She was beatified on 2 December 2007 in which Cardinal José Saraiva Martins presided over on the behalf of the pope.
Life
Lindalva Justo de Oliveira was born on 20 October 1953 in Brazil as the sixth of thirteen children to the farmer João Justo da Fé - a widower with three children - and Maria Lúcia da Fé (b. 1923); two brothers were Antonio and Djamla. As of 2014 her mother was still alive at age 91. Antonio was an alcoholic and went sober not long after she penned a letter to him. |
3_1 | Oliveira received her baptism on 7 January 1954 in the parish of Saint John the Baptist in the Chapel of Olho D'Água from Monsignor Júlio Alves Bezerra. Around 1961 her parents took their children elsewhere so as to provide for their educational needs.
She received her First Communion on 15 December 1965 and as of 1971 began to help raise her three nephews. Her parents tried to convince her to wed at this time but she deflected the conversation and instead said that he had three sons: her brother's three children that she helped care for. Oliveira lived with her brother Djamla in Natal for a time and received an administrative assistant's diploma in 1979. From 1978 until a decade later she worked in retail sales and also as a cashier at a petrol station. This was to provide for her ailing father and her mother and after the death of her father was for her mother's financial situation; leftover wages were for her personal use and she lived in Natal during this time. |
3_2 | As her father was on his deathbed in 1982 she aided him in his last months. He later summoned his children to him while asking a priest for the Anointing of the Sick; he beseeched his children to persevere in the faith and devote themselves as best as possible to God. He died hours later in 1982 due to abdominal cancer. Not long after in 1982 she began a technical course in nursing. In 1986 she attended a vocational movement of the Vincentian Sisters and requested joining them at the end of 1987; the Archbishop of Natal Nivaldo Monte granted her the sacrament of Confirmation on 28 November 1987.
On 28 December 1987 she received a letter from the mother provincial accepting her entrance into the congregation. Her time as a postulant commenced on 11 February 1988 in Recife and she requested to commence her novitiate on 3 June 1989. She and five other hopefuls commenced their novitiate on 16 July 1989. |
3_3 | She began to work at the shelter titled Don Pedro II Home in Bahia on 29 January 1991 to aid older people and the poor; she went on a retreat that same month while the forum was dedicated to the charism of Saint Vincent de Paul. Oliveira even took a driving test so she could take some of the people from the shelter for rides. In 1993 a man named Augusto da Silva Peixoto (b. 1947) was admitted into the shelter despite the fact that he was not meant to be there at all; he became obsessed with Oliveira and began to harass her despite her best efforts to keep her distance from him while treating him like she did the others. Those around her convinced her to report it and on 30 March 1993 the official of the shelter - Margarita Maria Siva de Azevedo - rebuked him; Augusto responded on 5 April in purchasing a machete. |
3_4 | On 9 April 1993 she participated in the Way of the Cross at 4:30am and returned to the shelter at 7:00am to serve breakfast at the Dom Pedro II Home. Augusto approached her as she served coffee and tapped her on the shoulder before thrusting a knife into her above the collar-bone as she turned around. She sank to the ground and cried out several times: "God protect me" while her attacker shouted: "I should have done this sooner!" A man attempted to intervene but Augusto warned those who approached would be killed. Augusto wiped the knife of blood on his clothes and threw it onto the floor before exclaiming to the horrified witnesses: "She did not want me!" He then said to the doctor that was summoned: "You can call the police, I will not run away; I did what had to be done". Augusto's reason for killing her was due to Oliveira refusing to give up the religious life to be with him as a lover. The killer sat on a bench outside the shelter and awaited the police; he was admitted to a |
3_5 | mental hospital following his conviction. Coroners identified a total of 44 perforations in Oliveira. |
3_6 | Augusto was still alive as of 2007. He was in a mental hospital until 2005.
Her funeral was celebrated on 10 April 1993 and the Dominican Cardinal Lucas Moreira Neves presided over the funeral. As of 6 April 2014 her remains are in the Capela das Relíquias da Beata Lindalva.
Beatification
The beatification process commenced in Brazil on 19 October 1999 - under Pope John Paul II - after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints declared "nihil obstat" ('nothing against') to the cause while also acknowledging her as a Servant of God. The diocesan process opened on 17 January 2000 and concluded its business not long after on 3 March 2001; the C.C.S. validated this process in Rome on 22 June 2001. |
3_7 | The Positio was sent to the C.C.S. in 2002 at which point it was retained until theologians met and approved the cause in a meeting on 26 September 2006; the C.C.S. also granted their approval to the merits of the cause on 21 November 2006. On 16 December 2006 her beatification received the papal approval of Pope Benedict XVI who confirmed she was killed "in defensum casitatis".
The beatification celebration was held in Brazil on 2 December 2007 and Cardinal José Saraiva Martins presided as the delegate the pontiff appointed in his stead.

4_4 | History and settlement
In 1820 the State of Maine was officially separated from Massachusetts, and at that time the name Bridgewater was applied to the Township. The area north of Bangor had been previously divided into 6 mile square townships, and in 1803 the future Bridgewater Township was subdivided into two 3 mile x 6 mile areas, each designated a "grant" area to fund public academies in Portland and Bridgewater, respectively. The town of Bridgewater was incorporated on 2 March 1858.

5_0 | In physics, the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem or formerly the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem was the apparent paradox in chaos theory that many complicated enough physical systems exhibited almost exactly periodic behavior – called Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou recurrence (or Fermi–Pasta–Ulam recurrence) – instead of the expected ergodic behavior. This came as a surprise, as Fermi, certainly, expected the system to thermalize in a fairly short time. That is, it was expected for all vibrational modes to eventually appear with equal strength, as per the equipartition theorem, or, more generally, the ergodic hypothesis. Yet here was a system that appeared to evade the ergodic hypothesis. Although the recurrence is easily observed, it eventually became apparent that over much, much longer time periods, the system does eventually thermalize. Multiple competing theories have been proposed to explain the behavior of the system, and it remains a topic of active research. |
5_1 | The original intent was to find a physics problem worthy of numerical simulation on the then-new MANIAC computer. Fermi felt that thermalization would pose such a challenge. As such, it represents one of the earliest uses of digital computers in mathematical research; simultaneously, the unexpected results launched the study of nonlinear systems.
The FPUT experiment |
5_2 | In the summer of 1953 Enrico Fermi, John Pasta, Stanislaw Ulam, and Mary Tsingou conducted computer simulations of a vibrating string that included a non-linear term (quadratic in one test, cubic in another, and a piecewise linear approximation to a cubic in a third). They found that the behavior of the system was quite different from what intuition would have led them to expect. Fermi thought that after many iterations, the system would exhibit thermalization, an ergodic behavior in which the influence of the initial modes of vibration fade and the system becomes more or less random with all modes excited more or less equally. Instead, the system exhibited a very complicated quasi-periodic behavior. They published their results in a Los Alamos technical report in 1955. (Enrico Fermi died in 1954, and so this technical report was published after Fermi's death.) |
5_3 | In 2020, National Security Science magazine featured an article on Tsingou that included her commentary and historical reflections on the FPUT problem. In the article,Tsingou states “I remember sitting there one day with Pasta and Ulam,” as they brainstormed “some problems we could do on the computer, some really mathematical problems.” They tried several things, but, eventually, “they came up with this vibrating string.”
The FPUT experiment was important both in showing the complexity of nonlinear system behavior and the value of computer simulation in analyzing systems. |
5_4 | Name change
The original paper names Fermi, Pasta, and Ulam as authors (although Fermi died before the report was written) with an acknowledgement to Tsingou for her work in programming the MANIAC simulations. Mary Tsingou's contributions to the FPUT problem were largely ignored by the community until published additional information regarding the development and called for the problem to be renamed to grant her attribution as well.
The FPUT lattice system
Fermi, Pasta, Ulam, and Tsingou simulated the vibrating string by solving the following discrete system of nearest-neighbor coupled oscillators. We follow the explanation as given in Richard Palais's article. Let there be N oscillators representing a string of length with equilibrium positions , where is the lattice spacing. Then the position of the j-th oscillator as a function of time is , so that gives the displacement from equilibrium. FPUT used the following equations of motion: |
5_5 | (Note: this equation is not equivalent to the classical one given in the French version of the article.)
This is just Newton's second law for the j-th particle. The first factor is just the usual Hooke's law form for the force. The factor with is the nonlinear force. We can rewrite this in terms of continuum quantities by defining to be the wave speed, where is the Young's modulus for the string, and is the density: |
5_6 | Connection to the KdV equation
The continuum limit of the governing equations for the string (with the quadratic force term) is the Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV equation.) The discovery of this relationship and of the soliton solutions of the KdV equation by Martin David Kruskal and Norman Zabusky in 1965 was an important step forward in nonlinear system research. We reproduce below a derivation of this limit, which is rather tricky, as found in Palais's article. Beginning from the "continuum form" of the lattice equations above, we first define u(x, t) to be the displacement of the string at position x and time t. We'll then want a correspondence so that is .
We can use Taylor's theorem to rewrite the second factor for small (subscripts of u denote partial derivatives):
Similarly, the second term in the third factor is
Thus, the FPUT system is |
5_7 | If one were to keep terms up to O(h) only and assume that approaches a limit, the resulting equation is one which develops shocks, which is not observed. Thus one keeps the O(h2) term as well:
We now make the following substitutions, motivated by the decomposition of traveling-wave solutions (of the ordinary wave equation, to which this reduces when vanish) into left- and right-moving waves, so that we only consider a right-moving wave. Let . Under this change of coordinates, the equation becomes
To take the continuum limit, assume that tends to a constant, and tend to zero. If we take , then
Taking results in the KdV equation: |
5_8 | Zabusky and Kruskal argued that it was the fact that soliton solutions of the KdV equation can pass through one another without affecting the asymptotic shapes that explained the quasi-periodicity of the waves in the FPUT experiment. In short, thermalization could not occur because of a certain "soliton symmetry" in the system, which broke ergodicity.
A similar set of manipulations (and approximations) lead to the Toda lattice, which is also famous for being a completely integrable system. It, too, has soliton solutions, the Lax pairs, and so also can be used to argue for the lack of ergodicity in the FPUT model. |
5_9 | Routes to thermalization
In 1966, Izrailev and Chirikov proposed that the system will thermalize, if a sufficient amount of initial energy is provided. The idea here is that the non-linearity changes the dispersion relation, allowing resonant interactions to take place that will bleed energy from one mode to another. A review of such models can be found in Livi et al. Yet, in 1970, Ford and Lunsford insist that mixing can be observed even with arbitrarily small initial energies. There is a long and complex history of approaches to the problem, see Dauxois (2008) for a (partial) survey. |
5_10 | Recent work by Onorato et al. demonstrates a very interesting route to thermalization. Rewriting the FPUT model in terms of normal modes, the non-linear term expresses itself as a three-mode interaction (using the language of statistical mechanics, this could be called a "three-phonon interaction".) It is, however, not a resonant interaction, and is thus not able to spread energy from one mode to another; it can only generate the FPUT recurrence. The three-phonon interaction cannot thermalize the system.
A key insight, however, is that these modes are combinations of "free" and "bound" modes. That is, higher harmonics are "bound" to the fundamental, much in the same way that the higher harmonics in solutions to the KdV equation are bound to the fundamental. They do not have any dynamics of their own, and are instead phase-locked to the fundamental. Thermalization, if present, can only be among the free modes. |
5_11 | To obtain the free modes, a canonical transformation can be applied that removes all modes that are not free (that do not engage in resonant interactions). Doing so for the FPUT system results in oscillator modes that have a four-wave interaction (the three-wave interaction has been removed). These quartets do interact resonantly, i.e. do mix together four modes at a time. Oddly, though, when the FPUT chain has only 16, 32 or 64 nodes in it, these quartets are isolated from one-another. Any given mode belongs to only one quartet, and energy cannot bleed from one quartet to another. Continuing on to higher orders of interaction, there is a six-wave interaction that is resonant; furthermore, every mode participates in at least two different six-wave interactions. In other words, all of the modes become interconnected, and energy will transfer between all of the different modes. |
5_12 | The three-wave interaction is of strength (the same as in prior sections, above). The four-wave interaction is of strength and the six-wave interaction is of strength . Based on general principles from correlation of interactions (stemming from the BBGKY hierarchy) one expects the thermalization time to run as the square of the interaction. Thus, the original FPUT lattice (of size 16, 32 or 64) will eventually thermalize, on a time scale of order : clearly, this becomes a very long time for weak interactions ; meanwhile, the FPUT recurrence will appear to run unabated. This particular result holds for these particular lattice sizes; the resonant four-wave or six-wave interactions for different lattice sizes may or may not mix together modes (because the Brillouin zones are of a different size, and so the combinatorics of which wave-vectors can sum to zero is altered.) Generic procedures for obtaining canonical transformations that linearize away the bound modes remain a topic of |

7_0 | Ritchie County is a county in the U.S. state of West Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,449. Its county seat is Harrisville. The county was created in 1843 by the Virginia General Assembly and named for Richmond newspaper publisher Thomas Ritchie.
History
Ritchie was one of fifty Virginia counties that were admitted to the Union as the state of West Virginia on June 20, 1863, at the height of the Civil War. Later that year, the new state's counties were divided into civil townships, with the intention of encouraging local government. This proved impractical in the heavily rural state, and in 1872 the townships were converted into magisterial districts. Ritchie County was divided into four districts: Clay, Grant, Murphy, and Union.
In 1911, historian Minnie Kendall Lowther published "The History of Ritchie County." Her book is still regarded as one of the most comprehensive histories of any county in West Virginia. |

7_5 | Politics
After having leaned strongly towards the Democratic Party between the New Deal and Bill Clinton's presidency, most of West Virginia has since 2000 seen an extremely rapid swing towards the Republican Party due to declining unionization along with views on environmental, social and cultural issues increasingly at odds with the national Democratic party. In contrast, Ritchie County along with neighbouring Doddridge County and Tyler County were historically powerfully Unionist and have always been solidly Republican since the Civil War. Only one Democratic presidential nominee has carried Ritchie County since West Virginia's statehood: Woodrow Wilson in 1912, and he won by a mere six votes with only 34.22 percent of all votes against a Republican Party mortally divided between conservative incumbent Taft and progressive Theodore Roosevelt. |

8_0 | Badmashiyaan () is a 2015 Hindi-language romantic comedy film. The film is released on 6 March 2015 to mixed reviews.
Plot
The story starts off well, with a sweet Punjabi couple introducing the audience. The story then jumps to Chandigarh, in 2014, where a frustrated man, while conversing on phone, loses control of his car due to a basketball and instantly applies brakes thereby also causing a public transport bus to stop, when the couple are just beside each other and fall over, sprouting up the love that led to their marriage.
While the frustrated man stops, a local taxi-driver Gurinder (Anil Mange) jumps out of his taxi and begins creating a scene against the frustrated man, who is then revealed to be enterprising cafè owner Dev Arora (Sidhant Gupta), the owner of a very popular cafè known as Cafè Konnect. Gurinder and Dev part ways, clearing the crowd that had accumulated there. |
8_1 | A rewind back to a recent history shows Dev's past, when, one day while taking photographs of a cute young woman he saw playing with balloons in the midst of children, he ended up saving another woman, Naari (Suzanna Mukherjee) and later took her to his cafè. Shortly after, the two entered a live-in relationship with Dev getting a huge loan following Dev's love instinct for Naari. However, despite a huge house and a big loan shark, Naari deserted Dev the very evening he wanted to propose to her during dinner at a five-star hotel on the pretext of using the washroom. Ever since that day, Dev did preserve Naari's belongings, but life for him has taken a back seat and he now has his hopes pinned on friend Pinkesh Kapoor (Karan Mehra), a part-time detective. |
8_2 | Back again to the foreground in the beginning, there is another typical Chandigarh couple which shares the first meet story. During their first meet, both the boy and the girl have a fight, particularly because the boy despises the girl's ambitions of being a fashion designer. However, the boy ends up unintentionally tearing off the back of the girl's designer gown-dress upon having slipped off a cherry ball on the floor which was being squashed by a man. |
8_3 | In comes another man, a fantastic character, Pinkesh, also nicknamed 'Pinku'. Initially a private detective, Pinku has had solved numerous cases, but the toughest case is that of Naari, since she is also one among his half-acquaintances. During the time when Dev was conversing on phone in the first scene, it was actually Pinku himself who was chasing Naari and also speaking to Dev. However, it is revealed that Pinku is also deeply infatuated with Naari, and has often supported her with cons. Also, it is unveiled that the person who tried to squash the cherry on the floor was also Pinku, who later chased Naari and found her, at last, with money belonging to her target. After a few more dozen moves, Naari left, leaving Pinku still undaunted. She later went to Dev's house to empty her belongings from the huge house. |
8_4 | Returning to Dev's life, the story shows him visiting the bank to mortgage another loan, but the bank is raided by robbers, and while dealing with a crisis, he meets Palak Mehra (Gunjan Malhotra), the same girl he was capturing on his camera, who defends him against a haughty woman trying to falsely accuse him. The two get out, Dev thanks Palak, and asks Pinku to meet up at Velvet Lounge, a starry restaurant. Meanwhile, Palak's friend also arrives there, asking her to meet up at Vintage Lounge. |
8_5 | At night in Vintage Lounge, Palak's friend refuses to turn up, while Pinku and Dev do meet, but Pinku makes up a fake pretext of using the washroom and leaves Dev in the lurch, and Dev doesn't have money to pay. Meanwhile, Palak too does not have money to pay. However, they meet each other in a funny manner, with Palak perceiving him as a chicken-bait and Dev perceiving her as Goddess Lakshmi. Both have a fat meal, but when it comes to payment, Dev tokens away his car keys and Palak her ring, which she wanted to wear off after her fiancé left her.
Dev and Palak walk on foot to Dev's house where she admires its scenic beauty. Palak asks to change her clothes and occupies Naari's room. Naari turns up at that moment, when Dev asks her to empty her room else he will throw away everything in her room. Palak returns, notices Naari and condemns her and soon takes a taxi. |
8_6 | It is further revealed that when Dev had phoned him to reach Vintage Lounge, Pinku was at Dev's house, hidden away in the bathroom since he was helping Naari procure her passport and bags before she could leave.
A rewind back to Pinku's escape from Vintage Lounge reveals the character who had been narrating the story all this time : Haryanvi Don Jassi Chaudhary (Sharib Hashmi). It is revealed that while Pinku was chasing Naari in the five-star hotel, the latter was with Jassi. The same night when she ditched Dev, she met Jassi, who fell head over heels for her, and while he sang the lovebird songs, Naari eyed some lettuce which Jassi was supposed to give away to a local lord. A reformed gangster, Jassi, who, till then, was into a decent business, began suspecting Pinku of a false move and later discovered that it was he who had Naari escape. |
8_7 | Actually, it is further revealed that the money which Naari stole from Jassi comprised counterfeit notes, which she ferried in a bag. While Dev reached home with Palak that night, Naari hid herself behind a tree, and simultaneously, Jassi and his men also succeeded in spotting Naari. While she occupied Naari's room, Palak didn't literally freshen herself, but instead noticed the bag and unknowingly stuffed the cash bundles into her bag and purse, thinking she might get a government bank job for which her private banking firm demanded a bribe. Naari rushes into her room after Palak leaves, but is devastated to find her bag empty, whereafter she notices Jassi, who forgives her and confesses his love for her. Naari realizes her mistake and reunites with Jassi. Meanwhile, Dev chases Palak, who is in a taxi, which is driven by Gurinder himself, and succeeds in earning her attention and affection. He starts dancing and an SUV car stops. He steps aside, the car leaves, and he starts dancing |
8_8 | again, little knowing that Jassi and Naari were in the SUV. |
8_9 | Presently, Pinku, who was actually spared by Jassi's men whose entry into Velvet Lounge in his search offered Pinku the prerogative of escaping, is at Dev's house, lifting dumbbells and advising Dev against another rendezvous with Palak. While the two meet, they confess love for each other, and find hilariously that they had been running after fake bundles of cash!
The story returns to the same foreground in the beginning, where Dev and Palak have a one-on-one meet with the audience as a married couple. Jassi also stars here, revealing that Naari has now turned over a new leaf as a networking employee.

9_4 | Music
From the beginning of her composing career Cozette's music style was influenced by the French impressionistic composers, Debussy and Ravel. Cozette's music composition training directly stems from Eusebius Mandyczewski, a close friend and amanuensis of Johannes Brahms through her music composition instructors, Roland Leich and George Rochberg. Both of these instructors were students of Rosario Scalero, a pupil of Mandyczewski. Cozette's Black heritage greatly influences her music composition through her selection of music themes. Cozette completed two one act operas, Adea and The Black Guitar in 1982. However, had difficulty with obtaining publications of her works and recordings. Cozette started sketches on her opera based on the life of her great-grandfather who fought as a soldier in the Civil War and turned to writing smaller compositions for solo flute and piano. |
