Whether you love him or hate him, George Steinbrenner has had a bigger impact on baseball than any other team owner in history. Under Steinbrenner`s autocratic reign, the New York Yankees have won 7 World Series Championships and 11 Pennants on 3,364 Wins. Before his passing, "The Boss" definitely restored the Yankees to being the most dominant, dynastic team in baseball. However, this return to greatness is one which has often raised the ire of detractors, brought forth outcries of a bloated payroll, and gave birth to criticisms of Steinbrenner`s questionable business practices. What better way to chronicle this truly unique baseball life, than through the words of the men who worked with Steinbrenner, through the first-hand statements...

Many ideas have emerged to address the problems of energy and poverty in poor countries. None of these ideas was sincerely backed by the developed nations and international financial institutions.Twoworth quoting examples are appropriate technology and sustainable development.Ironically appropriate technology is not much heard now.The rescue of poor countries lies in sustainable development but sincerity is doubtful again.The basis of choice for the developing countries highlighted by the author is that they must choose only those projects which are in tune with their conditions and environment; choice is restricted to those options that are least capital intensive and more laborintensive.

The minimum of a set of numbers is the smallest value in that set. So, for the set of numbers {3, 7, 11, 30, 68, 121} the minimum is 3. The maximum of a set is the largest value it that set; for the set above, the maximum is 121. In common usage, the terms "minimum" and "maximum" are used to communicate restrictions. For example, if a sale item is marked "maximum 3 per customer", it is restricting the number a single shopper may purchase. Similarly, a fairground ride with a sign saying "you must be this tall to ride" is giving a minimum size limit on who can ride safely. Minimum and maximum values are also used in descriptive statistics—along with the mean, median, and standard deviation—to provide a clear overview of a set of...

It took place at the village of Rais, near Larbaa and south of Algiers.

In 1997, Algeria was at the peak of a brutal civil conflict that had begun after the military's cancellation of 1992 elections set to be won by the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS). The poor farming village of Rais had...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Sellmeier equation is an empirical relationship between refractive index and wavelength for a particular transparent medium. The equation is used to determine the dispersion of light in the medium. It was first proposed in 1871 by W. Sellmeier, and was a development of the work of Augustin Cauchy on Cauchy's equation for modelling dispersion.where n is the refractive index, ? is the wavelength, and B1,2,3 and C1,2,3 are experimentally determined Sellmeier coefficients. These coefficients are usually quoted for ? in micrometres. Note that this ? is the vacuum wavelength; not that in the material itself, which is ?/n(?). A different form of the equation is sometimes used for certain types of...

The 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia was a widespread famine affecting the inhabitants of today's Eritrea and Ethiopia. Four Ethiopian provinces -- Gojjam, Hararghe, Tigray, and Wollo -- all received record low rainfalls in those years. The effects of this low rainfall were exacerbated by lack of adequate government preparations, as well as the increasing drain on government revenues by various insurgencies. In the north, the insurgency of the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front and the government's counterinsurgency was the ultimate cause of the famine, though the failure of the short rains in 1984 was the proximate cause. In the south, a separate and simultaneous cause was the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) insurgency. In 1984, President...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Bakenranef, known by the ancient Greeks as Bocchoris, was briefly a king of the Twenty-fourth dynasty of Egypt. Based at Sais in the western Delta, he ruled Lower Egypt from c. 725 to 720 BC. Though the Ptolemaic period Egyptian historian Manetho considers him the sole member of the Twenty-fourth dynasty, modern scholars include his father Tefnakht in that dynasty. Although Sextus Julius Africanus quotes Manetho as stating that "Bocchoris" ruled for six years, some modern scholars again differ and assign him a shorter reign of only five years, based on evidence from an Apis Bull burial stela. It establishes that Bakenranef's reign ended only at the start of his 6th regnal year which, under the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Calucones were a Germanic tribe mentioned by a few of the classical sources, but not all. Pliny the Elder (Book 3 Chapter 24 of Naturalis Historia, published in 77 CE) quotes a monument to the reign of Augustus, the tropeaum Alpium, located in the Rhaetia of his day, stating that Augustus subdued the Alpine peoples from the upper sea to the lower sea, including the Calucones. Ptolemy in Geography (Book 2 Chapter 10) on the other hand locates the Kaloukones on either side of the Elbe "below" (north of?) the Silingae or Silesians. Since the Elbe does not drain the Alps, if the two Calucones are the same, the tropeaum cannot have meant that Augustus subdued only Rhaetia. However, the tropeaum...

The Book of the First Monks (Latin: Decem Libri – Liber de Institutione Primorum Monacharum) is a medieval Christian work in the contemplative and eremetic tradition of the Carmelites. Carmelite tradition holds that it was Elijah who inspired the early hermits who settled near the spring on Mount Carmel. Most often quoted from the "Book of the First Monks" is the following passage in which the prophet Elijah is held up as spiritual father of the Order: The goal of this life is twofold. One part we acquire, with the help of divine grace, through our efforts and virtuous works. This is to offer God a pure heart, free from all stain of actual sin. We do this when we are perfect and in Cherith, that is, hidden in that charity of which the...
