Pellegrini is the only swimmer − male or female − to have won seven medals in a row in the same event (200 meters freestyle) at the World


title: "American Mixed Breed Obedience Registry" content: American Mixed Breed Obedience Registry The American Mixed Breed Obedience Registry (AMBOR) is a registry for mixed-breed dogs to enable them to compete in obedience and dog agility. AMBOR was founded in 1983 in New Prague, Minnesota, to provide a competitive venue for dogs not recognized by purebred registries such as the American Kennel Club. At that time, it provided rules under which dogs could compete to earn obedience titles in the same way that most purebred dogs could compete in their purebred clubs. By 1990, AMBOR had negotiated an agreement with the Illini Obedience Association, host of the prestigious

AMBOR, unlike the Mixed Breed Dog Club of America, does not hold conformation trials, which evaluate a dog's appearance and physical characteristics. However, like virtually all dog clubs that accept mixed breeds, it requires that its member dogs be neutered, discourages the crossbreeding of dogs, and does not accept wolf hybrids as members.

Previously, these regional clubs were the Mixed Breed Dog Club of California, Mixed Breed Dog Club of Oregon, Washington Mixed Breed Dog Club, and the Mixed Breed Dog Club of St. Louis. After the American Kennel Club began allowing Mixed Breeds to compete in agility, obedience, and rally through its Canine Partners program, all of the Mixed Breed Dog Club chapters closed except for the St. Louis Chapter. All other members of the club, outside of the St. Louis area, are designated as national club members. Mixed Breed


title: "History of neuroimaging" content: positron emission tomography (PET) got their names. While the first human positron imaging device was developed by Gordon Brownell and William Sweet in the 1950s, Michel Ter-Pogossian, Edward J. Hoffman and Michael Phelps developed the first human PET scanner in 1973 with hexagonal detectors. After the work Marcus Raichle and coworkers, functional imaging took a large step forward with the development of oxygen-15 labelled water (HO, or H20-15) imaging. H20-15 emits positrons and creates images based on regional blood flow within the brain. Since active neurons recruit a robust blood supply, H20-15 PET allowed investigators to make regional maps of


title: GLARE content: GLARE Glass laminate aluminum reinforced epoxy (GLARE) is a fiber metal laminate (FML) composed of several very thin layers of metal (usually aluminum) interspersed with layers of S-2 glass-fiber "pre-preg", bonded together with a matrix such as epoxy. The uni-directional pre-preg layers may be aligned in different directions to suit predicted stress conditions. Though GLARE is a composite material, its material properties and fabrication are very similar to bulk aluminum metal sheets. It has far less in common with composite structures when it comes to design, manufacture, inspection, or maintenance. GLARE parts are constructed and repaired using mostly conventional metal


title: GLARE content: working techniques. Its major advantages over conventional aluminum are: Furthermore, the material can be "tailored" during design and manufacture so that the number, type and alignment of layers can suit the local stresses and shapes throughout the aircraft. This allows the production of double-curved sections, complex integrated panels, or very large sheets. While a simple manufactured sheet of GLARE is more expensive than an equivalent sheet of aluminum, considerable production savings can be made using the aforementioned optimization. A structure built with GLARE is lighter and less complex than an equivalent metal structure, requires less inspection and maintenance, and has


title: GLARE content: a longer "lifetime-till failure". These characteristics can make GLARE cheaper, lighter, and safer to use in the long run. GLARE is a relatively successful FML, patented by the Dutch company Akzo Nobel in 1987. It entered commercial application in the first decade of the 21st century, being used on the Airbus A380 commercial airliner. Much of the research and development was done in the 1970s and 1980s at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Delft University of Technology, where professors and researchers such as Vogelesang, Schijve, Roebroeks, and Marissen advanced the knowledge of FML and earned several patents. The development of


title: GLARE content: FML reflects a long history of research that started in 1945 at Fokker, where earlier bonding experience at de Havilland inspired investigation into the improved properties of bonded aluminum laminates compared to monolithic aluminum. Later, NASA became interested in reinforcing metal parts with composite materials in the Space Shuttle program, which led to the introduction of fibers to the bond layers. Thus, the concept of FMLs was born. Further research and co-operation of Fokker with Delft University, the Dutch aerospace laboratory NLR, 3M, Alcoa, and various other companies and institutions led to the first FML, the aramid fiber-based ARALL. This


title: GLARE content: Boeing 737. There are six standard GLARE grades (GLARE1 through GLARE6) with typical densities ranging from , which is similar to the density of fiber. These densities are smaller than the density of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy, a common aluminum alloy in aircraft structures that is also incorporated into all but one of these GLARE grades. (GLARE1 uses the 7075-T6 aluminum alloy instead.) As the strength of the composite varies with fiber direction, the GLARE grades differ by the number and complexity of pre-preg plies (three plies in GLARE4, four in GLARE5, and two in the others) and orientations within a


title: GLARE content: composite layer, Each GLARE grade has A and B variants that have the same number of plies but with alternate fiber orientations. The standard GLARE grades are cured in an autoclave at for 3.5 hours under , and they use the FM94 epoxy pre-preg. A newer class of GLARE, called High Static Strength GLARE (HSS GLARE), incorporates the 7475-T761 alloy and cures at using FM906 epoxy pre-preg. HSS GLARE comes in three grades (HSS GLARE3, HSS GLARE4A, and HSS GLARE4B), mirroring the plies and orientations of their corresponding standard GLARE grades. Airbus also has alternative designations for these grades based

The thickness of a GLARE grade does not need to be separately specified, because each pre-preg ply has a nominal thickness of , and the number of plies is already defined for a GLARE grade number. The following table compares the mechanical properties of a common GLARE sheet to those of a common aerospace aluminum grade: GLARE contributes of material to each A380 plane. Of that total, is used on the upper fuselage of the front and rear sections. (GLARE is not used in the center upper fuselage because of shear strength concerns, and the fuselage underside

Fredericton has recently (as of 12 August 2013) passed a law revoking any restrictions on Sunday shopping hours. In the 1990s, Quebec allowed wide-open shopping from 8 am until 5 pm; some stores (mainly supermarkets) could remain open later than 5 pm, but they could not have more than four employees on staff after 5 pm. The law was changed in the 2000s (decade) to allow supermarkets to remain open until 8 pm with an unlimited number

Initial tape speed was 75 inches per second (2.95 m/s) and recording density was 200 characters per inch, giving a transfer speed of 120 kbit/s. Later 729 models supported 556 and 800 characters/inch (transfer speed 480 kbit/s). At 200 characters per inch, a single 2400 foot tape could store the equivalent of some 50,000 punched cards (about 4,000,000 six-bit bytes, or 3 MByte). The 729 series was superseded by 9 track tape drives introduced with the IBM System/360. The IBM 729 I

title: Cupcake content: a layer cake can be used to bake cupcakes. The cake batter used for cupcakes may be flavored or have other ingredients stirred in, such as raisins, berries, nuts, or chocolate chips. Because their small size is more efficient for heat conduction, cupcakes bake much faster than a normal layered cake. During baking, the volume of the batter initially increases due to the production of carbon dioxide, then decreases upon cooling due to the release of leavening gases. Cupcakes may be topped with frosting or other cake decorations. They may be filled with frosting, fruit, or pastry cream. For bakers

title: Possessive content: Possessive A possessive form (abbreviated ) is a word or grammatical construction used to indicate a relationship of possession in a broad sense. This can include strict ownership, or a number of other types of relation to a greater or lesser degree analogous to it. Most European languages feature possessive forms associated with personal pronouns, like the English "my", "mine", "your", "yours", "his" and so on. There are two main ways in which these can be used (and a variety of terminologies for each): Some languages, including English, also have possessive forms derived from nouns or noun phrases, such as


title: Possessive content: "Jane's", "cows' " and "nobody else's". These can be used in the same two ways as the pronoun-derived forms: adjectivally, as in "Jane's office"; and substantivally, as in "that one is Jane's". Possessives are sometimes regarded as a grammatical case (the possessive case), although they are also sometimes considered to represent the genitive case, or are not assigned to any case, depending on which language is being considered. On the other hand, some languages, such as the Cariban languages, can be said to have a possessed case, used to indicate the other party (the thing possessed) in a possession relationship.


title: Possessive content: A similar feature found in some languages is the possessive affix, usually a suffix, added to the (possessed) noun to indicate the possessor, as in the Finnish "taloni" ("my house"), where "talo" means "house" and the suffix "-ni" means "my". The concepts of possessive forms and genitive forms are sometimes conflated, although they are not exactly the same. The genitive form, which does not exist in modern English as an inflection, represents an "of" relationship, which may or may not be possessive; in other words, the possessive is a subset of genitive. For example, the genitive form "speed of the


title: Possessive content: car" is equivalent to the possessive form "the car's speed". However, the genitive form "pack of dogs" is not the same as the possessive form "dogs' pack" (though it is the same as "dog pack", which is not possessive). The glossing abbreviation or may be used to indicate possessive forms. It is common for languages to have independent possessive determiners (adjectives) and possessive pronouns corresponding to the personal pronouns of the language. For example, to the English personal pronouns "I", "you", "he", "she", "it", "we", "they", there correspond the respective possessive determiners "my", "your", "his", "her", "its", "our" and "their",

In some instances there is no difference in form between the determiner and the pronoun; examples include the English "his" (and "its"), and informal Finnish "meidän" (meaning either "our" or "ours"). In some languages, possessive determiners are subject to agreement with the noun they modify, and possessive pronouns may be subject to agreement with their antecedent, in terms of relevant categories of gender, number and case. For example, French has "mon", "ma", "mes", respectively the masculine singular, feminine singular and plural forms corresponding to the English

Stairways provide access to the horizontal rows of seats, often with every other step gaining access to a row of benches. Benches range from simple planks to elaborate ones with backrests. Many bleachers are open to the ground below so that there are only the planks to sit and walk on. Some bleachers have vertical panels beneath the benches, either partially or completely blocking the way to the ground. The open seating area in baseball was called the "bleaching boards" as early

"minor" was used by R. H. Richens for field elms that were not English elm, Cornish elm, Lock elm or Guernsey elm. Many publications, however, continue to use plain "Ulmus minor" for Richens's "Ulmus minor" subsp. "minor". Indeed Dr Max Coleman of Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh argued in his 2002 paper 'British Elms' that there was no clear distinction between species and

Its Latin synonym "carpinifolia" alludes to the superficial similarity of the leaves to those of hornbeam "Carpinus" sp., while the common names contrast the smooth upper surface and narrowness of the leaves with those of the wych elm, which are rough and broad. The apetalous perfect wind-pollinated flowers, and fruit (samaras) are very similar to those of the species. Although the smooth-leaved elm is generally susceptible to Dutch elm disease, it is genetically a highly variable tree and it is possible some specimens survive in the

Research currently (2009) in hand by Cemagref at Le Pepiniére forestiére de l'Etat, Guémené-Penfao, France, should confirm this. However, all smooth-leaved elm varieties are believed to have been introduced into Britain from central and southern Europe during the Bronze Age, and some, being beyond their natural climates and environments, may be growing slowly and thus producing smaller springwood vessels restrictive to the "Ophiostoma" fungus. Good performance in the field may also be owing to resistance to bark beetle feeding or breeding. Moreover, several types of this subspecies also have

As the tree suckers readily, its genetic resources are not considered endangered. The subspecies has a moderate to high susceptibility to the elm leaf beetle, "Xanthogaleruca luteola", and a moderate susceptibility to elm yellows. Many mature specimens still survive in England, notably in East Anglia. The Woodland Trust currently lists (2013) some 120 surviving "ancient" smooth-leaved elms in England and Wales, some of which are among the elms now being cloned, propagated and planted as part of


title: "Ulmus minor subsp. minor" content: The Conservation Foundation's 'Great British Elm Experiment' and 'Ulmus londinium' projects, a scheme to identify disease-resistant strains and return elms to city and countryside. In a more academically-based project, most of the clones of the surviving European field elms that have been tested since the 1990s for innate resistance to Dutch elm disease by national research institutes in the EU, with a view to returning field elm to cultivation in Europe, would be classified by Richens’s system as "Ulmus minor" subsp. "minor". Results from Spain (2013), for example, confirm that a very small number of surviving field elms (about 0.5%


title: "Ulmus minor subsp. minor" content: of those tested) appear to have comparatively high levels of tolerance of the disease, and it is hoped that a controlled crossing of the best of these will produce resistant "Ulmus minor" hybrids for cultivation. Narrow-leaved elm was occasionally planted as an ornamental urban tree. The largest recorded tree in the UK grew at Amwell, Hertfordshire, measuring 40 m in height and 228 cm diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) in 1911. Another famous specimen was the great elm that towered above its two siblings at the bottom of Long Melford Green, Long Melford, Suffolk, till the group succumbed to disease

The largest known surviving trees are at East Coker, Somerset (30 m high, 95 cm d.b.h.), Termitts Farm near Hatfield Peverel, Essex (25 m high, 145 d.b.h.) and Melchbourne, Bedfordshire, (147 cm d.b.h.).

Coleslaw prepared with vinaigrette may benefit from the long lifespan granted by pickling. The term "coleslaw" arose in the 18th century as an anglicisation of the Dutch term "koolsla" ("kool" in Dutch sounds like "cole") meaning "cabbage salad". The "cole" part of the word comes from the Latin colis, meaning "cabbage". The 1770 recipe book "The Sensible Cook: Dutch Foodways in the Old and New


title: Coleslaw content: World" contains a recipe attributed to the author's Dutch landlady, who mixed thin strips of cabbage with melted butter, vinegar, and oil. The recipe for coleslaw as it is most commonly prepared is fairly young, as mayonnaise was invented during the mid-18th century. According to "The Joy of Cooking" (1997), raw cabbage is the only entirely consistent ingredient in coleslaw; the type of cabbage, dressing, and added ingredients vary widely. Vinaigrette, mayonnaise, and sour cream based dressings are all listed; bacon, carrots, bell peppers, pineapple, pickles, onions, and herbs are specifically mentioned as possible added ingredients. In America, what most

Coleslaws can be a light crunchy blend of julienne or grated vegetables tossed in vinaigrette, or shredded vegetables with nonfat Greek yogurt combined with spices and herbs. Coleslaw is generally eaten as a side dish with foods such as fried chicken and barbecued meats and may be accompanied by French fries or potato salad as another side dish. It also may be used as a sandwich ingredient, being placed on barbecue sandwiches,

Cole slaw also is used on a variant of the Reuben sandwich, with coleslaw substituting for the sauerkraut; the sandwich is commonly called a Rachel to differentiate it from the Reuben. Coleslaw has an extremely low glycemic index (cabbage 10) and glycemic load (cabbage 0.58) and is rich in fiber. There are many variations of the recipe, which include the addition of other ingredients such as red cabbage, pepper, shredded carrots, onion, grated cheese, pineapple, or apple, mixed

The cabbage may come in finely minced pieces, shredded strips, or small squares. Other slaw variants include broccoli slaw, which uses shredded raw broccoli in place of the cabbage. Cream, sour cream, or buttermilk are also popular additions. Buttermilk coleslaw is most commonly found in the southern United States. Traditional German "Krautsalat" consists of finely shredded cabbage marinated with oil and vinegar. Sometimes onions or apples are added. Coleslaw with cooked ham and sliced pepper (julienne cut) in Italy is

Various cabbage-based salads that resemble coleslaw are commonly served as a side dish with the second course at dinner, next to meat and potatoes. There is no fixed recipe, but typical ingredients include shredded white cabbage (red and Chinese cabbage are also not uncommon), finely chopped onions, shredded carrots, and parsley or dill leaves, with many possible additions. These are seasoned with salt, black pepper and a pinch of sugar, and tossed with a dash of oil (typically sunflower or rapeseed) and vinegar, while mayonnaise-based dressings are uncommon. An alternative, usually served with fried fish,

title: "Ski pole" content: cave painting, dated at 4000 BC. Early skiers would use this pole for the purposes of balancing, braking, and turning. Alpine societies such as those in Nordic regions or the Altai mountains used their ski poles to hunt as well, giving them spear-like qualities. Skiers began to use two ski poles in 1741. This provided greater balance than one pole could provide and made pushing through the snow easier. Early ski poles were made of pine and bamboo, materials which today are used for novelty poles. US patents for steel ski poles began in 1933 when John B. Dickson invented


title: "Ski pole" content: a new design calling for the use of steel as the shaft material. This construction was superseded by Edward L. Scott, who is credited with popularizing the lightweight aluminum ski pole in 1959, deriving his modern design from golf club shafts. This new stiff and lightweight pole made it easier for skiers to pole-plant and initiate fast, short turns. The most modern material used in ski pole production is carbon fiber. A patent has been filed on a biocomposite material that can be used for ski poles, but this design has yet to be manufactured. Axel Composites has a patent


title: "Ski pole" content: for carbon fiber ski poles dating back to 1975, however, inventor David P. Goode's improved design from 1989 became the first widely produced. The carbon fiber pole builds on the same qualities of the aluminum pole: lightness and stiffness while being extremely strong. Poles are used in alpine skiing to add propulsion and to aid in controlling upper body position at turn initiation. Racing poles have their own unique distinctions. Super giant slalom, downhill, and speed skiing poles are designed to bend around the skier's body while in a tuck position to minimize drag. In slalom skiing, straight poles are


title: "Ski pole" content: used due to the reduced speeds and increased reliance on poles. Slalom poles will often come with a guard attached to the grip for the purpose of deflecting gates. Giant slalom skiers choose a straight or bent pole based on personal preference and situation; giant slalom courses can vary greatly in speed and in the case of slower courses, aerodynamic drag does not have as great a factor. Poles enable cross-country skiers to apply power to the snow, using arm motion; poles can also provide stability. In competitive cross-country skiing, poling technique is essential, especially so during a mass start

Pole length for classic (aka diagonal-stride) technique is typically measured from the ground to the skier's armpit. For skating (aka freestyle) technique the length of the pole is typically from the ground to the skier's upper lip. These length selections balance between maximum thrust and technique considerations. Most Nordic ski pole manufacturers have sizing charts available.

title: "John 3:16" content: John 3:16 John 3:16 (chapter 3, verse 16 of the Gospel of John of the New Testament) is one of the most widely quoted verses from the Bible and has been called the most famous Bible verse. It has also been called the "Gospel in a nutshell", because it is considered a summary of the central theme of traditional Christianity: In Exodus 4:22, the Israelites as a people are called "my firstborn son" by God using the singular form. In John, the focus shifts to the person of Jesus as representative of that title. The verse is part of the

title: "John 3:16" content: but have eternal life." (John 3:14-15) Note that verse 15 is nearly identical to the latter part of John 3:16. A representative sample of published Bible translations renders it as follows. (It is worth noting that since this is perhaps the best-known verse, many translations have tried to maintain a traditional rendering). Recent translation scholarship has struggled most with the Greek adverb οὕτως (houtos) which traditionally has been simply translated as "so" as in ""so" loved" in the KJV. Theologians Gundry and Howell believe that the sense and syntax of the Greek Οὕτως…ὥστε make it likely that the author of


title: "John 3:16" content: the Gospel of John is emphasizing both (a) the "degree" to which God loved the world as well as (b) the "manner" in which God chose to express that love—by sending his only son. Gundry and Howell write that the Οὕτως term more frequently refers to the "manner" in which something is done (see BDAG 741–42 s.v. οὕτω/οὕτως). However, they add that the ὥστε clause that follows Οὕτως involves the indicative—meaning that it stresses an "actual" but usually unexpected result. They conclude that the sense and syntax of the Greek construction here focuses on the "nature" of God's love, addressing


title: "John 3:16" content: its mode, intensity, and extent. Accordingly, it emphasizes the "greatness of the gift God has given." There are other scholars agreeing with this assessment. "The 'so' (houtos) is an adverb of degree which points toward the clause which follows and here serves to express the idea of infinity, a love that is limitless, that is fully adequate." "The Greek construction…emphasizes the intensity of the love." This understanding of the intent in the original Greek is reflected in various scholarly commentaries and translations such as these: Based on their analysis of the original Greek parallelistic structure of John 3:14-17, Gundry and

With war looming, and other nations (primarily the U.S.) experiencing major increases in the creation of passenger airlines, it was necessary to have a presence.
