SV Roßbach/Verscheid is a German association football club based in Roßbach/Wied, Rhineland-Palatinate. The club's greatest success has been to play in the Oberliga Südwest, later the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar, for seven seasons from 2007 to 2014. |
In 2001 "Roßbach" advanced to the Verbandsliga Rheinland (V) and in 2005–06 captured the title there, but was not immediately promoted to the fourth tier Oberliga Südwest as it had begun the season as "SG Rossbach", a "Sportgemeinschaft" (sports community) and not as a sports club, and so were ineligible as they did not meet German Football Association (Deutsche Fussball Bund or German Football Association) requirements as an organization. In the following season, the club's campaign ended with a second Verbandsliga championship and this time, after the earlier reorganization of the association as "Sportverein Roßbach/Wied" in anticipation of an advance, the side moved up to Oberliga play. |
In association with neighbouring clubs "FC Waldbreitbach" and "SG Niederbreitbach", "SV" helped form "JSG Wiedtal" in 2003 as a youth club. |
"Roßbach" qualified for the 2006–07 German Cup, and hosted Bundesliga side "Borussia Mönchengladbach" in the first round, losing 1:4. They also qualified for the 2012–13 German Cup, where they hosted FSV Mainz 05. |
After seven seasons at Oberliga level the club was relegated back to the Rheinlandliga in 2014 but instead withdrew to the tier nine Kreisliga B Nord Westerwald/Wied. A title at this level took the club up to the Kreisliga A in 2015 but it was promptly relegated again. |
"SV Roßbach/Verscheid" currently play at the Sportplatz in der Au, which has a capacity of 2.000. |
The Sportplatz in der Au was built in 1987–88 with the help of the City of Roßbach at a cost of approximately 75,000 DM. The club hopes to move into a purpose built football stadium by the year 2010 however, as with all semi-professional teams, financing the move is proving a major stumbling block. |

= = = Chebyshev linkage = = = |
The Chebyshev linkage is a mechanical linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion. |
It was invented by the nineteenth-century mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev, who studied theoretical problems in kinematic mechanisms. One of the problems was the construction of a linkage that converts a rotary motion into an approximate straight-line motion. This was also studied by James Watt in his improvements to the steam engine. |
The straight-line linkage confines the point "P" – the midpoint on the link "L" – on a straight line at the two extremes and at the center of travel. ("L", "L", "L", and "L" are as shown in the illustration.) Between those points, point "P" deviates slightly from a perfect straight line. The proportions between the links are |
Point P is in the middle of "L". This relationship assures that the link "L" lies vertically when it is at one of the extremes of its travel. |
The lengths are related mathematically as follows: |
It can be shown that if the base proportions described above are taken as lengths, then for all cases, |
and this contributes to the perceived straight-line motion of point "P". |
The motion of the linkage can be constrained to an input angle that may be changed through velocities, forces, etc. The input angles can be either link "L" with the horizontal or link "L" with the horizontal. Regardless of the input angle, it is possible to compute the motion of two end-points for link "L" that we will name A and B, and the middle point P. |
while the motion of point B will be computed with the other angle, |
And ultimately, we will write the output angle in terms of the input angle, |
Consequently, we can write the motion of point P, using the two points defined above and the definition of the middle point. |
The limits to the input angles, in both cases, are: |

= = = Perry (car) = = = |
The Perry was a British car made by the Perry Motor Company based in Tyseley, Birmingham who made cars between 1913 and 1916. |
The company can trace its roots back to 1824 with James and Stephen Perry making pens in a workshop in London, later moving to Birmingham and building bicycles. By the late 1890s they were having financial problems and were bought by James William Bayliss, part owner of the Bayliss-Thomas car making company. |
Their first car, a three-wheeler, was made in 1899 followed by a forecar in 1903. Cecil Bayliss, the son of the new owner, built a cyclecar in 1911 with 800 cc engine, and this was developed into the first Perry car to reach production. |
The Perry cyclecar was described as 'just placed on the market' when exhibited at the November 1912 Motor Cycle and Cycle Car Show at Olympia. It was described as 'an exact replica of a full-sized model, but is of exceptionally light weight - less than 7cwt'. |
The engine for the car was built in-house and was a twin-cylinder vertical water cooled unit, with 72mm bore and 108mm stroke, unusual in that both pistons rose and fell at the same time. Drive was to the rear wheels through a 3-speed gearbox with reverse and worm-driven axle and spur differential. The rear springing was unusual in that the long semi-elliptic leaf springs were supplemented by coil springs. It was fitted with Sankey detachable wheels and Dunlop tyres. |
The basic body was an open two-seater, but a long-wheelbase version allowing a dickey seat was also available. |
About 800 were made. |
A full-sized car was introduced in 1914 with four-cylinder 1795 cc engine. The larger car allowed four seat bodies to be offered as well as two seaters and these were mainly made by Mulliners of Birmingham. |
About 300 were made before World War I curtailed car-building activities. A very few were made in 1919 when the design, jigs, patterns and tools were sold to Bean Cars for £15,000, who reintroduced it as the Bean 11.9. |
= = = Worst Week = = = |
Worst Week is an American sitcom television series which originally aired on CBS from September 22, 2008 to June 6, 2009. The series was based on the British sitcom "The Worst Week of My Life". The show was adapted for American audiences by Fox under the title "Worst Week of My Life", but a series failed to materialize after the pilot was filmed. |
The series aired on CBS Mondays at 9:30pm ET/PT, following "Two and a Half Men". The premiere attracted 11 million viewers but lost a third of its lead-in audience. Ratings dropped to a low of 8.4 million viewers with the sixth episode, then began to climb steadily. They reached a high of 12.12 million viewers with the eleventh episode but declined afterwards. The season finale titled "The Epidural" aired on February 16, 2009. |
On May 20, 2009, CBS announced its new season schedule and canceled "Worst Week". A previously unaired episode entitled "The Party" aired on June 6, 2009. "Worst Week" is set in Manassas, Virginia. |
Verne Gay of "Newsday" graded it A and said it "may be the best new comedy on network TV this season." |
Less enthusiastic was Tim Goodman of the "San Francisco Chronicle", who said, "Though there are plenty of hard-earned (some might say forced) laughs here and Bornheimer is a real find, you can't help but wonder how they'll keep up the pace. After all, the British series ran for only two seasons and had a mere seven episodes each season...So how is CBS going to stretch this into 22 episodes without stretching it too thin?...In many ways, "Worst Week" seems incapable of being made into an American version (there were previous attempts that failed), because not only does the title not make sense, but not having a payoff for all the freaky, not-so-karmic woes Sam endures will be frustrating to the viewing audience . . . [It] is a series that may end up being on a short leash." |
Linda Stasi of the "New York Post" called it "one of the worst new shows of the week" and added, "Only a man (or a couple of them) could get paid big bucks in Hollywood to come up with such a lame-o rip-off and perpetuate the fantasy that gorgeous women can't help but to love out-of-shape guys who do everything wrong." |
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has released a DVD of the complete series. |

= = = Capital Requirements Directives = = = |
The Capital Requirements Directives (CRD) for the financial services industry have introduced a supervisory framework in the European Union which reflects the Basel II and Basel III rules on capital measurement and capital standards. |
Member States have progressively transposed, and firms of the financial service industry thus have had to apply, the CRD from 1 January 2007. Institutions were allowed to choose between the initial basic indicator approach, which increases the minimum capital requirement in Basel I approach from 8% to 15% and the standardised approach, which evaluates the business lines as a medium sophistication approaches of the new framework. The most sophisticated approaches, Advanced IRB approach and AMA or advanced measurement approach for operational risk were available from January 2008. From this date, all concerned EU firms had to comply with Basel II. |
The new CRD IV package entered into force on 17 July 2013: this updated CRD simply transposes into EU law the latest global standards on bank capital adequacy commonly known as Basel III, which builds on and expands the existing Basel II regulatory base. CRD IV commonly refers to both the EU Directive 2013/36/EU and the EU Regulation 575/2013.<ref name="CRR/CRD IV"></ref> |
The Capital Requirements Directives superseded the EU's earlier Capital Adequacy Directive that was first issued in 1993. |
In 2000, seven Banking Directives and their amending Directives were replaced by one single Banking Directive (2000/12/EC), which aimed to improve the clarity and transparency of the EU legislation and to create a kind of "European Banking Act". The adoption of the Basel II guidelines in 2004 was followed at EU level by a recast of the Banking Directive on the one hand (Directive 2006/48/EC) and the Capital Adequacy Directive (Directive 93/6/EEC) on the other hand (Directive 2006/49/EC). These two Directives were officially adopted on 14 June 2006 and published in the Official Journal on 30 June 2006. Both Directives entered into force on 20 July 2006. |
On 16 September 2009, the Council and the European Parliament officially adopted Directive 2009/111/EC, which is part, together with Directives 2009/27/EC and 2009/83/EC, of the second legislative package aimed at ensuring the financial soundness of banks and investment firms. |
On 24 November 2010, the Council and the European Parliament officially adopted Directive 2010/76/EU on capital requirements for the trading book and for re-securitisations and the supervisory review of remuneration policies. Directive 2010/76/EU was to be implemented in two phases. The first, which affects the remuneration provisions, as well as a number of other ones dealing with the extension of some pre-existing minimum capital requirements, had to be implemented by 1 January 2011. The remaining provisions had to be implemented by 31 December 2011. |
On 17 July 2013, the CRD IV package was transposed —via a Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms (CRR)) and a Directive (Directive 2013/36/EU on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms)— the new global standards on bank capital (the Basel III agreement) into EU law, entered into force. This is the current legislation on banking prudential requirements. |
Think-tanks such as the World Pensions Council have argued that European powers such as France and Germany pushed dogmatically and naively for the adoption of the Basel II recommendations, adopted in 2005, transposed in European Union law through the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). In essence, they forced European banks, and, more importantly, the European Central Bank itself, to rely more than ever on the standardised assessments of "credit risk" marketed aggressively by two US credit rating agencies—Moody's and S&P—thus using public policy and ultimately taxpayers' money to strengthen anti-competitive duopolistic practices akin to exclusive dealing. European governments have abdicated most of their regulatory authority in favour of a non-European, highly deregulated, private cartel. |
= = = Venkatadripuram = = = |
Venkatadripuram is a small village in Nuzvid mandal. |
This village was built in the 20th century at 1922. The village is 100 years old. It is under panchayati of Annavaram. |
The village founder Sri Chalasani Mallikarjunudu from Neppal Vuyyuru Mandal, built a foundation stone in this Village. He gathered some other families from various places of Krishna. The Great Meka Venkatadri Apprao Jamindhar of Vuyyuru eloted 50 ekors of land to this village. Then the Village has called as Venkatadripuram on the name of Raja Venkatadri Apparao. |
Sri Sunkara Rajayya from Ponukumadu came to this village and he constructed a house and Dharma Satrava (Inn) in this village, after that the village has called as Satrava Annavarm and Kotta Annavaram. |
in 1931 Chalasani Rajagopal Rao was a well known freedom fighter from this village, who participated in the 1931 to 1933 independence movement and he arrested at the movement. Then the village became popular from that Independence movement. |
Sri Bobba Venkateswara Rao also arrested at the movement in 1950. He participated in "Telangana Armed Struggle" (Anti Nizam Movement). |
A pond is located in the eastern side of village called Kavati Cheruvu. At the western side an area of 152 ekors forest land covered with hills. This land distributed to land less poor in 1985. |
= = = Hoc (programming language) = = = |
hoc, an acronym for High Order Calculator, is an interpreted programming language that was used in the 1984 book The Unix Programming Environment to demonstrate how to build interpreters using Yacc. |
hoc was developed by Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike as a glorified interactive calculator. Its basic functionality is to evaluate floating-point numerical expressions, e.g., "1+2*sin(0.7)". Then, variables were added, conditionals, loops, user-defined functions, simple IO, and more, using a syntax resembling C. |
An improved hoc interpreter was included in Eighth Edition Research Unix in 1985, but it has not been generally adopted by commercial Unix systems or by Linux distributions. Instead, the earlier calculator languages dc and bc have become widespread on those systems. hoc survived and continued to evolve as part of the Plan 9 operating system. Several improved versions of Hoc were released as free software by Bell Labs and other individuals (see list below). hoc is used as the primary scripting language for the Neuron simulator. |
The following is a simple example of an interactive calculator session in hoc; text represents hoc's output: |

= = = Raymond Tuckey = = = |
Charles Raymond Davys Tuckey (15 June 1910 – 15 October 2005) was an English tennis player. |
Raymond Tuckey and Pat Hughes won the doubles in Wimbledon in 1936, defeating Charles Hare and Frank Wilde in five sets. In 1937 he again reached the men's doubles finals at Wimbledon but this time lost with Pat Hughes against American team of Don Budge and Gene Mako in four sets. He was part of the winning British Davis Cup team in 1935 (against the US) and 1936 (against Australia) and of the 1937 team that lost the final to the US. |
His mother, Agnes Tuckey, was, with Hope Crisp, the first winner of the Wimbledon mixed doubles in 1913. Agnes, when in her fifties, partnered Raymond in the mixed doubles in 1931 and 1932, the only instance of a parent and child teaming up at the championships. His sister, Kay Tuckey, was also a tennis player. |
