Klaus Bechgaard

Klaus Bechgaard (born March 5, 1945 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a Danish scientist and chemist, noted for being one of the first scientists in the world to synthesize a number of organic charge transfer complexes and demonstrate their superconductivity, threreof the name Bechgaard salt. These salts all exhibit superconductivity at low temperatures.

The first unconventional superconductor composed of organic material, was discovered by Bechgaard and Denis Jerome in 1979. This discovery garnered attention in the international scientific community, and for a period he was one of the most quoted scientists in the field of natural sciences. He also recieved a nomination for the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this discovery.

Research

Klaus Bechgaard did research at the University of Copenhagen, where he also held a Professorship in organic chemistry until 1993. From 1993 until 2000 he was the chairman of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at Risø and in 2001 he was appointed head of the newly assigned Department of Polymer Research at Risø. From 2001 and onwards he has been the head of Risø's nano technology programme, and The Danish Center of Polymers which is a joint venture between the Technical University of Copenhagen and Risø.

Currently Bechgaard conducts research in the field of polymers and nano technology at the University of Copenhagen.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog

Template:Afc maybe

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog is the caption of a famous The New Yorker cartoon published on 5 July 1993 and authored by Peter Steiner.[1][2][3][4] The cartoon shows two dogs, one sitting on a chair in front of a computer speaking the caption to a second dog sitting on the floor[5]

The cartoon symbolizes an understanding of the internet that stresses the ability of users to send and receive messages in general obscurity,[2] despite how little anonymity the internet actually provides.[2]

As of 2000, the panel was the most reproduced cartoon from The New Yorker.[6] It has been called an adage.[6]

Irish Ghetto Milan

The Irish Ghetto Milan is a small area in the Navigli district of South Central Milan which is home to Milan's greatest concentration of 'Italo-Irlandese' immigrants.

The heart of the Irish Ghetto in Milan encompasses the streets 'Via Vigevano' and 'Via Corsico', the latter being home to the infamous 'Casa Irlandese'. The bespoke 'Casa Irlandese' has been notably referred to in works of Italo Svevo and James Joyce who brought the Casa to life, scribing it as 'the durtiest of ghettos with the durtiest of burds to ever have set foot in the 'bel paese'. Today the 'Casa Irlandese' retains the memories of times past with its dilapidated interior and undesirable tenants, the majority of whom are female. Despite the rough character of the 'Casa Irlandese', the dwellers keep a relatively low key profile, living in peace with the neighbouring Roma and Crusty Communities - none of which wish to attract the attention of the ever vigilant Vigilanza Città di Milano authority.

Although life can be tough in the Irish Ghetto Milan, its residents maintain their own ways of escaping from the day to day reminders of their truly depressing and futile existence. The inhabitants of the 'Casa Irlandese' are easily spotted drowning their sorrows alongside their Italian down-and-out counterparts in 'Bradipo', a shady watering hole on Via Vigevano which is renowned for serving a ferosciously potent Negroni Sbagliato. One of the Italo-Irlandese, who has requested to remain anonymous for legal reasons, devotes much of his free time to egg-chasing, an up and coming adventure sport in italy which originates from the fields of Rathmines and Ranelagh in Ireland. Also worthy of note is the 'Irish Cenacolo'or 'Irish Last Supper' which derives its name from the occasion on which it is held, the last Sunday of the month that is. The 'Irish Cenacolo' is, however, an endangered event with growing competetion from the attractive Senegalese and Navigli Markets, where local sellers display antique furniture, mini tricycles and other categories of bric-a-brac.

Despite its long reigning tenure in the Navigli area, the Irish Ghetto is, however, entering an uncertain period in its history with many of it chief founders rumoured to be planning their return to Ireland within the coming 12 months. The legacy of the Irish Ghetto Navigli will, no doubt, live on; in the form of the annual Navigli St. Patrick’s Day Parade and quarterly art exhibitions at the Pinacoteca di Brera.

Oglethorpe Speedway

Oglethorpe Speedway Park celebrates it's 55th Anniversary in 2006. The half mile speedway has entertained race fans since March of 1951 when championship motorcycle racing debuted in Savannah. The first stock car race took place at the historic half mile in May of 1951. Johnnie Parsons was the first winner. Parsons was the defending Indy 500 winner that year.

The half mile clay speedway hosted the NASCAR Grand National Series (today's Nextel Cup Series) in March of 1954 and 1955. The winner of the race on March 28, 1954 was Al Keller in a 1954 Hudson. Keller won $1000 for winning the 200-lap race while Buck Baker took home $650 for finishing in second place. The Flock brothers (Fonty and Bob) each won $25 for finishing 11th and 12th.

The other NASCAR Grand National race was held on March 6, 1955 and was won by Lee Petty. His son, Richard Petty, signed in as a crew member that day. Herb Thomas competed that day along with Curtis Turner, Junior Johnson and Buck Baker.

Many of today's most recognized racers have turned laps at Savannah's famous speedplant. Former NASCAR Winston Cup champions Ned Jarrett, Glenn "Fireball" Roberts, David Pearson, Joe Weatherly, Buddy Baker, Dale Earnhardt and Speedy Thompson have competed at Oglethorpe Speedway Park.

Current owner, Emory Stone, purchased the speedway in 1977. Since then, Oglethorpe Speedway Park has led the way for many tracks in the area. Stone was the first promoter to offer dirt racers a purse of over $45,000. He was also the first dirt track to sign on with the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series in 1984. Finally, through Stone's guidance the Enduro Series was born. This affordable division of racing took the short track industry to new levels. Many races had over 125 competitors racing for 150 to 300 laps with purses as high as $10,000 to win.

In 1984, Oglethorpe Speedway Park re-entered the NASCAR record books. Oglethorpe Speedway Late Model champion David Into became the first national champion for NASCAR's short track series. Into took home a $25,000 pay day for his 1984 efforts.

Oglethorpe Speedway Park developed a number of drivers through it's weekly racing program. David Into dominated the Late Model scene winning an unprecedented ten track titles between 1984 and 1994. The only driver to knock Into out of the title spot was Robert Elliott in 1987. Since that time, "Flying" Brian Turner (1995), Donnie Bazemore (1996 & 1997), Hal McGraw (1998), Kent Strickland (1999 & 2000), Bobby Oglesby (2001, 2002 & 2003), Bobby Morris (2004) and this past season (2005) 20-year-old Robert Diekemper became the youngest driver to have captured the prestigious Late Model crown at OSP.

In 2005, OSP entertained over 600 competitors. Many of the stars of tomorrow cut their teeth at the speedway in February during the first ever Coca-Cola Young Guns Shoot-Out. Bodine Massengill and Zack VanDerbeek claimed the honors for late models and modifieds. The trend of younger drivers continued in the regular season as over a dozen drivers under the age of twenty competed on a weekly basis at OSP. The future is bright for OSP race fans!

The historic half mile speedway has sprouted careers and entertained hundreds of drivers for the past half century in the Late Models, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Pure Stocks, Go Karts, Enduro Series, Powder Puff, 440 Series and Queen Bees.

The tradition of championship racing in a family oriented facility lives on as Oglethorpe Speedway Park runs weekly NASCAR sanctioned events on Friday nights at 8:00pm. Late Models, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks, Pure Stocks and 440s make up the weekly schedule.

HP-67

In mid 1976 the HP-67 was launched 2 and ½ years later than the HP-65 to replace it. The HP-67 takes the same features than the HP-65, like the magnetic card reader, the programmable functions and even the same looking, but adds more memory and is more user friendly.

The HP-67 was declined in a printer version : the HP-97 (a desktop model, also working on batteries). Both models were fully compatible (exept that the 67 doesn't print) and shared a huge program library. Despite their price (see below), these models were at the time very popular. To benefit from both program library and popularity, in 1979 the HP-41C was introduced with a magnetic card reader, which made this calculator compatible with the HP-67/97 programs.

Prices

In 1977 : HP-67: $450, HP-97: $750
