Verner von Heidenstam (July 6, 1859 – May 20, 1940) was a Swedish poet and novellist, a laureate of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1916. He was a member of the Swedish Academy from 1912. Most of his works are passionate depictions of Swedish character, life and traditions, often from a clearly patriotic point of view.
He was born in Olshammar to a noble family. He studied paintings in the Academy of Stockholm, but soon left to travel longly in Europe, Africa and Eastern countries. His work Vallfart och vandringsår (Pilgrimage: the Wander Years, 1888) is a collection of poems inspired by his experiences in the Eastern travels, and marks an abandon of naturalism then dominant in Swedish literature.
His love for beauty is showed also by the allogeorical novel Hans Alienus (1892). Dikter ("Poems", 1895) and Karolinerna (The Charles Men, 2 vols., 1897-1898), an historical novel, shows a strong nationalistic passion. The two volumes of Folkunga Trädet (The Tree of the Folkungs, 1905-07) are the inspired, epic story of a clan of Swede chieftains in the Middle Ages.
His poetical collection Nya Dikter, published in 1915, deals with phylosophical themes, mainly concerning the elevation of man to a better humanity from solitude. He died at his home Övralid in 1940.

Greenbrier County is a county located in the U.S. state of West Virginia. As of 2000, the population was 34,453. Its county seat is Lewisburg.

History
Like all West Virginia Counties, Greenbrier County is governed by a three-person, elected County Commission. Other elected officers include the Sheriff, County Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Assessor, Prosecuting Attorney, Surveyor, and three Magistrates.

Law and government
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 2,653 km² (1,024 mi²). 2,645 km² (1,021 mi²) of it is land and 8 km² (3 mi²) of it (0.31%) is water.
Much of the area of the northern and western parts of the county is either public (Monongahela National Forest), coal land, or private forest, owned by companies such as MeadWestvaco.
In 2005, Invenergy LLC of Chicago Illinois announced plans to build the $300 million, 124-turbine Beech Ridge Wind Farm along the tops of several Greenbrier County mountains. The wind farm would produce 186 megawatts of electricity. Development, which was originally expected to begin in late 2007, was stalled when the state Supreme Court agreed in April to hear the case brought by opponents of the project.

Plot
Before the movie was released, Thorne-Smith appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, where Saturday Night Live comedian Norm Macdonald (who was also a guest on Conan's show) derided the concept of doing a film with Carrot Top. When Conan asked Smith the title of the film, Macdonald interjected that if it had Carrot Top in it, a good title would be "Box Office Poison". After Smith revealed the actual title, Conan jokingly retorted to Macdonald "Do something with that, ya freak", to which Macdonald thought for a moment and replied "I bet the 'Board' is spelled 'B-o-r-e-d'", which triggered Conan to burst out laughing.

Magnification is the process of enlarging something only in appearance, not in physical size. Magnification is also a number describing by which factor an object was magnified. When this number is less than one it refers to a reduction in size, sometimes called minification.
Typically magnification is related to scaling up visuals or images to be able to see more detail, increasing resolution, using optics, printing techniques, or digital processing. In all cases, the magnification of the image does not change the perspective of the image.

Magnification as a number (optical magnification)

where f is the focal length and S is the distance from the lens to the object. Note that for real images, M is negative and the image is inverted. For virtual images, M is positive and the image is upright. Additionally, this can be written as the following, where di is the image distance and do is the object distance:

Note again that a negative magnification implies an inverted image.

where f_o is the focal length of the objective lens and f_e is the focal length of the eyepiece. The angular magnification is given by

If instead the lens is held very close to the eye, and the object is placed close to the lens, a larger angular magnification can be obtained, approaching

Here, f is the focal length of the lens in centimeters. The constant 25 cm is an estimate of the "near point" distance of the eye—the closest distance at which the eye can focus.

where M_o is the magnification of the objective and M_e the magnification of the eyepiece. The magnification of the objective depends on its focal length f_o and on the distance d between objective back focal plane and the focal plane of the eyepiece (called the tube length):

.
The magnification of the eyepiece depends upon its focal length f_e and can be calculated by the same equation as that of a magnifying glass (above).
Note that both astronomical telescopes as well as simple microscopes produce an inverted image, thus the equation for the magnification of a telescope or microscope is often given with a minus sign.

Single lens: The linear magnification of a thin lens is
Telescope: The linear magnification is given by
Magnifying glass: The angular magnification of a magnifying glass depends on how the glass and the object are held, relative to the eye. If the lens is held such that its front focal point is on the object being viewed, the relaxed eye can view the image with angular magnification
Microscope: The angular magnification is given by

Mary Beth Peil (born June 25, 1940) is an American opera singer and actress.
Born in Davenport, Iowa, Peil (pronounced "peel") trained as an opera singer at Northwestern University under Lotte Lehmann. There she became a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. In the 1960s, the soprano toured with Boris Goldovsky's opera company and the Metropolitan Opera's national company singing such roles as Susannah in Mozart and da Ponte's The Marriage of Figaro. She also sang with the New York City Opera. In 1971, she originated the role of Alma in the opera Summer and Smoke, based on a Tennessee Williams play, and performed it again when it was broadcast on television.
Peil was persuaded to take a role in Kiss Me, Kate and soon found herself on Broadway. In May 1983 she was cast as the twelfth Anna Leonowens to Yul Brynner's King of Siam in the revival of The King and I. Some critics said she was better than Gertrude Lawrence, who originated the role, and Peil was nominated in 1985 for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.
Peil won an Obie Award in 1995 for her work in three non-musical plays, The Naked Truth, Missing Persons, and A Cheever Evening.
In 1996 and 1997, Peil toured in A. R. Gurney's Sylvia with Charles Kimbrough and Stephanie Zimbalist. She played evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in a revival of Irving Berlin and Moss Hart's As Thousands Cheer.
In May 1999, Peil appeared in the Yale Repertory Theatre's production of the Noel Coward play Hay Fever. She played the beggar woman in Sweeney Todd at the Kennedy Center in 2002 and in the spring of 2003 she played Antonio Banderas's mother in the revival of the musical Nine. In the winter of 2003, she again appeared on the New York stage, starring in Frame 312, Keith Reddin's play about the Kennedy assassination.
Peil's work has been confined largely to the stage. She made her film debut in 1992's Jersey Girl. She appeared in Law & Order in 1994 and had a regular role in Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003. She also played Nancy Reagan's mother Edith in the Showtime movie The Reagans.
Peil was seen last in M Proust by Mary Zimmerman at the Steppenwolf Upstairs Theatre.
She has just finished working in Romania on a film thriller with Keifer Sutherland.
She is proud grandmother.

The Honourable Sir Donald Tsang Yam-Kuen
On 25 March 2007, Tsang was re-elected as Chief Executive in a contested small-circle election for the post for a second and final term, from 2007 to 2012.

Early life and family
Tsang joined the civil service in January 1967, and he has held positions in many different government departments, ranging from finance and trade to policies relating to the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China.
From 1981 to 1982 Tsang studied in the United States, where he completed a Master of Public Administration at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has also received honorary doctorates from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the University of Hong Kong. He was attached to the Asian Development Bank in Manila in 1977 for a year and worked on water supply and railway development projects in the Philippines and Bangladesh.
As Deputy Secretary of the General Duties Branch between 1985 and 1989, Tsang was responsible for the implementation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the promotion of the "British Nationality Selection Scheme". He served as Director-General of Trade between 1991 and 1993, and was responsible for all facets of trade negotiation and administration affecting Hong Kong. In May 1993, he was promoted to Secretary for the Treasury, where he was responsible for the overall allocation of resources, the taxation system and the cost effectiveness of the Hong Kong government.
In September 1995, Tsang was appointed Financial Secretary, becoming the first Chinese person to hold the position. He was created a Knight Commander in the Order of the British Empire in 1997 for his long-time service to Hong Kong, being knighted by Prince Charles in Government House hours before the handover. Tsang was also awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal by the Hong Kong government in June 2002. During his term as Hong Kong's Financial Secretary, Hong Kong's public spending grew steadily as public revenue remained robust and government budget in surplus. Public expenditure to GDP rose to as high as 23%, though still the lowest among developed economies. He also approved a raise in civil servants' salary at the beginning of the Asian economic crisis. The salary raise was finally reversed, aligning civil servants' salary to 1997 levels.
During his six-year tenure, he steered Hong Kong through the Asian financial crisis that swept across the region in 1997 and 1998. He worked with Joseph Yam, chief executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and waged war on the speculators attacking the Hong Kong currency peg.
On May 1, 2001, former Chief Secretary for Administration Anson Chan resigned her post, citing personal reasons. Tung then appointed Tsang to become the Chief Secretary and invited a civil service outsider, Antony Leung, to take up the post of Financial Secretary.
As Chief Secretary, Tsang ranked second to the then Chief Executive of Hong Kong Tung Chee Hwa, advising him on matters of policy and deputising for him during his absence. He was also a member of the Tung's inner cabinet, the Executive Council, which is also the highest policy-making body in Hong Kong. He assumed the post of acting Chief Executive when Tung's resignation was approved by the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China on March 12, 2005.

Civil service
Main article: Tung Chee Hwa's resignation
According to . Mr Michael Suen. the Secretary for Housing, Planning and Lands, became Acting Chief Secretary for Administration as soon as Tsang's resignation was accepted by the Central People's Government.

Serving as acting Chief Executive
Tsang's resignation as Chief Secretary was accepted by the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China on June 2, 2005. He immediately established an Election Office, with Legislative Council (LegCo) member and chairman of the Bank of East Asia, David Li Kwok-po, as his election campaign chairman. Tsang claimed that his agenda could be summed up as one of "Resolute, pragmatic action". He also mentioned that his philosophy of governance was the reason he had decided to run in the election. He said, "I would like to share with you my vision for Hong Kong, and how I will put my philosophy into practice after I am elected."
Tsang instantly became the frontrunner in the race to succeed Tung, due to his long-time experience and high approval ratings. However, some commentators feared that his close association with the past British colonial administration would lead Beijing to distrust him. Tsang, however, won the support of a wide spectrum of society ranging from pro-democracy groups to business tycoons and this appeared to outweigh the misgivings of certain members of the communist hierarchy and their supporters within Hong Kong.
Accordingly, Tsang gained the support of the Central People's Government and his campaign ran without a hitch. On June 15, he handed in his nomination form which bore the signatures of 674 of the approximately 800 members of Election Committee. Later in the evening, the Returning Officer, Madam Justice Carlye Chu Fun Ling vetted the nomination form and determined that his nomination as a candidate in the election was valid.
During the Chief Executive election campaign, Donald Tsang received about HK$27.33 million sponsorship for the campaign, about 20% of which came from the businessmen from the property sector, while Tung Chee Hwa received only one third of this amount for the second Chief Executive Election. Although Donald Tsang stated publicly that each sponsor could not sponsor in excess of hundred-thousand Hong Kong dollars, some of the businessmen tried to sponsor him in different names, for example, Stanley Ho from Shun Tak Group and Lee Shau Kee from Henderson Land Development each sponsored HK$1 million under their family members' names. In the Chief Executive election campaign, Donald Tsang used only HK$4.12 million of the sponsorship, which was HK$2 million less than the amount used by Tung Chee Hwa in his second Chief Executive Election. The remaining HK$23.21 million dollars would be donated to 14 charitable organizations.
On June 21, 2005, he was officially appointed Chief Executive of the HKSAR by the State Council of the Central People's Government to complete the remainder of Tung's term, which ends on June 30, 2007. Tsang has used Government House, as his residence.

Chief Executive Election Campaign

Chief Executive of Hong Kong
After 80% of fish from the mainland China was found to have Malachite green, forcing many fish stalls to close, fishermen and businessmen criticized the Tsang administration for acting too slowly. Subsequently, the approval rating of Tsang and his administration fell polls.
Fearing H5N1 bird flu would came back to Hong Kong one day, Tsang announced that free fresh chicken sale would be replaced by a system of central slaughtering starting from 2009. A slaughter house will be built in Sheung Shui.

Food safety
On August 30, 2005, Tsang announced that the Guangdong Provincial Government invited all 60 members from the Legislative Council to visit Guangdong between September 25 to September 26, 2005. This was the first chance for most of the pro-democrats such as Martin Lee to visit the mainland China since 1989.
Recently, Tsang has talked of discriminatory treatment of political parties and politicians, describing their relationships with him as either intimate or distant. This is what is known as the policy of friend-or-foe dichotomy (親疏有別). Of This caused widespread criticisms from the pro-democracy camp.

Relations with pan-democrats
On November 30, he televised appeal for support on the electoral reform package. Opposing the package publicly, thousands of Hong Kong people demanding immediate universal suffrage(63,000 as reported by the police, 81,000 - 98,000 by HKU-POP research team, at least 250,000 by the organisers) demonstrated against the reform package four days later. It was clear that Tsang would not change the reform package which was supported by about 60% of the population.
On December 21, the Legislative vetoed his reform proposal as the government failed to get support from more than two third councillors. Some lawyers in Beijing said that if the problem can't be solved, Donald Tsang has the power to dissolve the Legco under the Basic Law.

Political reform
Daniel Heung, Tsang's cousin and the chairman of the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education, was awarded a Silver Bauhinia Star by Donald Tsang in 2005. It was discovered in August 2006 that Heung had converted a warehouse site in Shatin which he rented from the government in 1983 into a private residence. It was alleged that rent would have cost about HK$840,000 a year as residential property instead of the annual lease payments of HK$200,000 a year over 16 years of his tenancy.

Economic policies
Tsang has been criticized for not doing enough to improve Hong Kong's environment. In recent years poor air quality has been an increasing concern for people in Hong Kong, with pollutants from factories and power stations in China's industrial hinterland mixing with the fumes of the region's growing fleet of vehicles and wafting into the city on prevailing winds.The city has fallen in the rankings in several quality of life indices and there are worries that foreign firms will relocate to cleaner cities such as Singapore. Concerns over the pollution's effect on public health and the tourism industry are also rising. In mid-2006 Tsang launched the "Action Blue Sky" campaign and outlined a comprehensive plan to tackle air pollution in Hong Kong and in collaboration with the neighbouring Guangdong Province. Scepticism however remained among the expatriate population of Hong Kong and, in late November 2006, they ridiculed Tsang for citing the long life expectancy of Hong Kong residents as evidence of Hong Kong's high quality of life relative to other major cities in the East Asian region. .

EDHEC Business School

EDHEC or École De Hautes Études Commerciales du Nord is a French business school and grande école founded in 1906. It has three campuses, one in Lille, one in Nice, where it absorbed the Theseus International Management Institute, and the latest was founded in 2006 in Paris' business district, La Défense. EDHEC is EQUIS accredited by the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Education), and AMBA accredited for the Theseus and Part-Time Executive MBAs programmes and by the AACSB, and the Conference Of The Grandes Ecoles.
Programmes
The school is usually ranked fifth among business schools in France, after HEC, ESSEC, ESCP-EAP, and EM Lyon. It is worth noting that these French rankings have been very stable over the past 20 years. Their source is the French state organization called SIGEM which is in charge of tests for admissions for "classe préparatoire" students. EDHEC is the only private school within these five schools.
In 2006, the EDHEC Grande Ecole Programme ranked 7th in the Financial Times ranking of European Masters in Management. It was previously 12th in 2005 for the same ranking.

EDHEC Business School is involved in academic research and has launched its Research For Business (link in french) policy, that states objectives for EDHEC research. As a business school, EDHEC has chosen to conduct applied research in the fields of finance, business law, marketing and management. Research Centers have been, and are being set up in EDHEC "Academic Excellence Areas" : - EDHEC main project is the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre. It's a research centre in Finance whose prime specialization was asset allocation in both traditional (indexed allocation) and alternative investment universes (hedge funds); it is currently expanding its research towards Asset-Liability Management and Operational Risk Management.
The EDHEC RAM center produces hedge funds style indexes, which are similar in purpose to CSFB/Tremont indexes on its website. It is publishing a return based style analysis ranking of european mutual funds with Europerformance (see [1]). The EDHEC-RAM is sponsored by financial organizations such as Euronext, Lyxor AM and Eurex.

The decimal separator is a symbol used to mark the boundary between the integral and the fractional parts of a decimal numeral. Terms implying the symbol used are decimal point and decimal comma.
The decimal separator is mathematically a radix point.
The choice of symbol for the decimal separator affects the choice of symbol for the thousands separator. Consequently the latter is treated in this article as well.

History
Numbers with many digits before and/or after the decimal separator may be divided into groups of three, starting from the decimal separator in both directions.The symbol for this is called the thousands separator or, more generally (see India below), digit group separator. If the decimal separator is a point, the thousands separator is often a comma or a space. The latter is recommended in the SI/ISO 31-0[2]; when a space is used, it is often used after the decimal separator too, thus "1 234.567 89". If the decimal separator is a comma, the thousands separator is often a point or a space. Notations like "12,345", "12.345", "12,345.678", and "12.345,678" are ambiguous if the notational system is not known.
Making groups of three digits also emphasizes that there is a base 1000 of the numeral system that is being used. See Decimal superbase.
The house manuals of style for many publishing organizations state that thousands separators should not be used in normal text for numbers from 1000 to 9999 inclusive where no decimal fractional part is shown (in other words, for four-digit whole numbers). This does not apply in mathematical and other technical contexts.

Examples of use
Countries where a dot is used to mark the radix point include:
Australia, Brunei, Botswana, Canada (English-speaking), Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea (both North and South), Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, People's Republic of China, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States (including insular areas), Zimbabwe

Dot countries
Countries where a comma is used to mark the radix point include:
Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada (French-speaking), Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Estonia, Faroes, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Indonesia, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg (uses both separators officially), Macedonia, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, South Africa (officially, but dot point is commonly used in business and science), Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam
