Letters to relatives have an affectionate tone not captured by official state business, as evidenced by many written to his mother Margaret.
|
During his lifetime the nobility often criticised Henry VII for re-centralizing power in London, and later the 16th-century historian Francis Bacon was ruthlessly critical of the methods by which he enforced tax law, but it is equally true that Henry VII was diligent about keeping detailed records of his personal finances, down to the last halfpenny; these and one account book detailing the expenses of his queen survive in the British National Archives, as do accounts of courtiers and many of the king's own letters.
|
Until the death of his wife, the evidence is clear from these accounting books that Henry was a more doting father and husband than was widely known and there is evidence that his outwardly austere personality belied a devotion to his family.
|
Many of the entries show a man who loosened his purse strings generously for his wife and children, and not just on necessities: in spring 1491 he spent a great amount of gold on a lute for his daughter Mary; the following year he spent money on a lion for Elizabeth's menagerie.

With Elizabeth's death, the possibilities for such family indulgences greatly diminished.

tree
|
Life cycleThe life cycle of the fig wasp is closely intertwined with that of the fig tree it inhabits.
|
The fig actually produces an enzyme called ficain (also known as ficin) which digests the dead wasps and the fig absorbs the nutrients to create the ripe fruits and seeds.
|
Several commercial and ornamental varieties of fig are parthenocarpic and do not require pollination to produce (sterile) fruits; these varieties need not be visited by fig wasps to bear fruit.
|
The wasps that inhabit a particular tree can be divided into two groups; pollinating and non-pollinating.
|
The pollinating wasps are part of an obligate nursery pollination mutualism with the fig tree, while the non-pollinating wasps feed off the plant without benefiting it.

Mirror neurons may be mediating this comparison of what the bird hears, how it compares to a memorized song template, and what he produces.

Because mirror neurons exhibit both sensory and motor activity, some researchers have suggested that mirror neurons may serve to map sensory experience onto motor structures.
|
This has implications for birdsong learning– many birds rely on auditory feedback to acquire and maintain their songs.
|
In search of these auditory-motor neurons, Jonathan Prather and other researchers at Duke University recorded the activity of single neurons in the HVCs of swamp sparrows.

They discovered that the neurons that project from the HVC to Area X (HVCX neurons) are highly responsive when the bird is hearing a playback of his own song.

NEXRAD detects precipitation and atmospheric movement or wind.

NEXRAD or Nexrad (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 160 high-resolution S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) within the United States Department of Commerce, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) within the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Air Force within the Department of Defense.
|
Its technical name is WSR-88D (Weather Surveillance Radar, 1988, Doppler).
|
It returns data which when processed can be displayed in a mosaic map which shows patterns of precipitation and its movement.
|
The radar system operates in two basic modes, selectable by the operator – a slow-scanning clear-air mode for analyzing air movements when there is little or no activity in the area, and a precipitation mode, with a faster scan for tracking active weather.

Music in Twelve Parts is a set of twelve pieces written between 1971 and 1974 by the composer Philip Glass.

This work cycle was originally scored for ten instruments, played by five musicians: three electric organs, two flutes, four saxophones (two soprano, one alto, one tenor) and one female voice.
|
Only one piece was originally written, which was called "Music in Twelve Parts" because it was originally intended to have twelve lines of counterpoint harmony, but when Glass played it to a friend, she asked him what the other eleven parts would be like.

He found the misunderstanding interesting, and wrote another eleven parts over a period of three years.

Organ music Besides the piano, the other keyboard instrument to occupy a prominent position in Sorabji's output is the organ.

Some of Sorabji's piano pieces strive to emulate the sounds of other instruments, as seen in score markings such as "quasi organo pieno" (like a full organ), "pizzicato" and "quasi tuba con sordino" (like a tuba with mute).
|
In this respect, Alkan was a key source of inspiration: Sorabji was influenced by his Symphony for Solo Piano and the Concerto pour piano seul, and he admired Alkan's "orchestral" writing for the instrument.
|
Sorabji's largest orchestral works have organ parts, but his most important contribution to the instrument's repertoire are his three organ symphonies (1924; 1929–32; 1949–53), all of which are large-scale tripartite works that consist of multiple subsections and last up to nine hours.

Other vehicles that hear these messages process them, take local actions (adjust their speed, move away, emergency brake, etc.)
|
They periodically broadcast traffic safety messages called "Basic Safety Messages" (BSMs) to all the other vehicles in its communication range with the frequency of 10 BSMs/second.
|
These messages include information about the sender vehicle's movement such as current speed, location, heading, brake status, etc.
|
to avoid possible collisions, and flood/forward these BSMs to their neighbors.
|
With the help of these periodic BSM advertisements and flooding throughout the VANET, every vehicle can construct a traffic awareness from a very large area and take preventive actions before it is too late to avoid collisions.

waves
|
Oysters rely on hearing waves and currents to regulate their circadian rhythms, and perception of weather events—such as rain—may induce spawning.
|
For example, non-native species in Tomales Bay have resulted in the loss of half of California's Olympia oysters.
|
In October 2017, it was reported that underwater noise pollution can affect oysters as they close their shells when exposed to low frequencies of sounds in experimental conditions.
|
Cargo ships, pile drivers, and explosions conducted underwater produce low frequencies that may be detected by oysters.
|
Environmental stressors as a result of global change are also negatively impacting oysters around the world, with many impacts affecting molecular, physiological, and behavioral processes in species including Magallana gigas.

|
A few who praised it commented that Excessions complexity and frequent use of in-jokes make it advisable for new readers of Banks' Culture stories to start with other books.
|
In a retrospective of Excession at Tor, Peter Tieryas writes, "There are literally paragraphs thrown in as background detail that could make for amazing novels of their own.
|
Reviewed in Arcane Magazine with a 10/10 rating, the novel was an "astounding achievement," regarded as "huge in scope, intricate in detail, swaying from pathos to metaphysics and from humour to light-speed action," with Banks considered, "a science-fiction writer truly without equal at the moment."

Passengers further back in the train heard explosions. "

The train knocked Brody's SUV a distance of up the tracks, dislodging more than of the third rail, and breaking it into 13 segments, most of which accumulated in the front car's passenger compartment, and then into the second car.
|
The New York Daily News reported that physical trauma from the third-rail segments was responsible for most of the deaths on the train; later it was reported that four of the individuals who died did so, like Brody, of blunt force trauma.
|
The thing that precipitated people really starting to freak out and break the glass and open the door was there was a loud 'bam,' explosion-type thing," said Fred Buonocore, who was in the fourth car. "

And once we jumped off the side, there was another explosion to a lesser degree."

earplug
|
Passive noise isolation is essentially using the body of the earphone, either over or in the ear, as a passive earplug that simply blocks out sound.
|
They come in all shapes and sizes, depending on use, required noise attenuation, and fidelity of communication needed.
|
Ambient noise reduction Unwanted sound from the environment can be reduced by excluding sound from the ear by passive noise isolation, or, often in conjunction with isolation, by active noise cancellation.
|
The headphone types that provide most attenuation are in-ear canal headphones and closed-back headphones, both circumaural and supra aural.
|
Open-back and earbud headphones provide some passive noise isolation, but much less than the others.

Phonetic reversal Certain phrases produce a different phrase when their phonemes are reversed—a process known as phonetic reversal.
|
For example, "Kiss" backwards sounds like "sick", and so the title of Yoko Ono's "Kiss Kiss Kiss" sounds like "Sick Sick Sick" or "Six Six Six" backwards.
|
The Paul is dead phenomenon was started in part because a phonetic reversal of "Number nine" (the words were constantly repeated in Revolution 9) was interpreted as "Turn me on, dead man".
