The Noble News
No full textWeekly newspaper from Noble, Oklahoma that includes local, state, and national news along with advertising. Marion B. Carley, proprietor of the Noble Weekly Journal, started The Noble News in March 1906 as a continuation of her earlier paper. The newspaper may have ceased or suspended publication until 1911 at which time M. Lane King restarted the paper. The News, unlike its predecessor, claimed political affiliations with the Democratic Party. Towards the end of its existence, the paper was absorbed by the Norman Democrat-Topic. The Noble News was one of the only surviving early newspapers in Noble

Natural NMSSM Higgs bosons
No full textWe study the phenomenology of Higgs bosons close to 126 GeV within the scale invariant unconstrained Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), focusing on the regions of parameter space favoured by low fine-tuning considerations, namely stop masses of order 400 GeV to 1 TeV and an effective ? parameter between 100–200 GeV, with large (but perturbative) ? and low View the MathML sourcetan?=2–4. We perform scans over the above parameter space, focusing on the observable Higgs cross sections into ??, WW, ZZ, bb, ?? final states, and study the correlations between these observables. We show that the ?? signal strength may be enhanced up to a factor of about two not only due to the effect of singlet–doublet mixing, which occurs more often when the 126 GeV Higgs boson is the next-to-lightest CP-even one, but also due to light stops (and to a lesser extent light chargino and charged Higgs loops). There may be also smaller enhancements in the Higgs decay channels into WW, ZZ, correlated with the ?? enhancement. However there is no such correlation observed involving the Higgs decay channels into bb, ??. The requirement of having perturbative couplings up to the GUT scale favours the interpretation of the 126 GeV Higgs boson as being the second lightest NMSSM CP-even state, which can decay into pairs of lighter neutralinos, CP-even or CP-odd Higgs bosons, leading to characteristic signatures of the NMSSM. In a non-negligible part of the parameter range the increase in the ?? rate is due to the superposition of rates from nearly degenerate Higgs bosons. Resolving these Higgs bosons would rule out the Standard Model, and provide evidence for the NMSSM

Box 2455, Riyadh 11451.Several substituted pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline were synthesized from the intermediates: 2-chloro-3-quinolinecarbonitrile (1d), 2-amino-3-quinolinecarbonitrile (1h) and 2-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (1g), via cyclization with urea, thiourea, guanidine, formamide and acetic anhydride. Structural elucidation of the prepared quinolines and pyrimido[4,5-b]quinolines was mainly based on the spectroscopic methods, and in particular, MS and NMR spectr
Oedipus the King
No full textIn this highly acclaimed translation of Sophocles' Oedipus the King, Stephen Berg (a distinguished poet) and Diskin Clay (an eminent classicist) combine their talents to offer the contemporary reader a dazzling and original version of Sophocles' timeless work. Emphasizing the intensity of the spoken language, they capture the unrelenting power of Sophoclean drama. No other English translation conveys the same level of terrifying emotion, especially in the choral odes, the forceful descriptions of Jokasta's death, the blinding of Oedipus, and the final scene of desolation.Cover -- Contents -- Introduction -- Oedipus the King -- Preliminary Note -- Notes on the Text -- Glossary -- A -- B -- D -- H -- J -- K -- M -- O -- P -- T -- ZIn this highly acclaimed translation of Sophocles' Oedipus the King, Stephen Berg (a distinguished poet) and Diskin Clay (an eminent classicist) combine their talents to offer the contemporary reader a dazzling and original version of Sophocles' timeless work.

Validating an Operational Flood Forecast Model Using Citizen Science in Hampton Roads, VA, USA. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering. 7, 242. DOI"Catch the King" is a community science GPS flood extent mapping effort centered in Tidewater Virginia, USA, that seeks to map the King Tide's maximum inundation extent with the goal of validating and improving inundation prediction models like the Virginia Institute of Marine Science’s Tidewatch Map (https://cmap2.vims.edu/SCHISM/TidewatchViewer.html). This 36-hour storm tide inundation forecast model is based on the Center for Coastal Resources Management’s open-source SCHISM hydrodynamic model’s operational outputs, updated every 12 hours at noon and midnight (EST). Timestamped GPS-reported high water marks were collected by volunteers to effectively trace the high water line by pressing the 'Save Data' button in the free Sea Level Rise mobile app (available on iOS and Android) in regular intervals along the water's edge.
Catch the King was founded as a collaborative effort to give members of the public an opportunity to engage personally in climate change adaptation. While the development of the Sea Level Rise app was led by Wetlands Watch and local tech company, Open Health Innovations (formerly Concursive), the idea for creating a statewide program stems from the creative minds of Wetlands Watch’s former Executive Director, Skip Stiles, retired Virginian-Pilot reporter, Dave Mayfield, and Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) assistant professor, Dr. Derek Loftis. Throughout the year, trained tidal flood mappers use the free Sea Level Rise mobile application (iOS / Android) developed by Wetlands Watch and Open Health Innovations (formerly Concursive) to walk the high water lines in public spaces near them to digitally trace GPS contours of the maximum extent of tidal flood waters. These data are shared publicly after the end of the mapping event and used as a public annual tidal calibration for the forecast predictions generated from VIMS' Tidewatch Map. Annually, a live tidal calibration of the forecasts driven from the Center for Coastal Resources Management's SCHISM hydrodynamic model (developed by Dr. Joseph Zhang) is conducted by the trained participatory scientists engaged with Catch the King, and analyzed by Dr. Loftis at VIMS. Catch the King 2025 took take place on the weekend of October 10-12, 2025, during some of the highest astronomical tides of the year, which were harmonically forecasted to be 3.22-3.63 ft. above MLLW at Sewells Point in Norfolk, VA. The king tide took place at many different times and occurred at different peak amplitudes throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia's coastal region, yet each was forecasted to be the highest tides of the year for those areas.
Catch the King 2025 had 167 volunteers map 27,120 high water marks using Wetlands Watch's Sea Level Rise App during the king tides on October 10-12. The volunteer breakdown for Catch the King in 2025 revealed that the most GPS data points (by region; 6,892 pins) were mapped by 35 community scientists in Virginia Beach. Tied by number of volunteer flood mappers, Norfolk (35 mappers) collected the second-most high water marks, with 5,963, in terms of total mapped GPS flooding extents. VA's Middle Peninsula region collected the third-greatest quantity of data across a very wide area with the help of 29 volunteers mapping 4,433 high water marks throughout the king tide weekend. Here is a daily breakdown of data collected during the 2025 Catch the King Tide Weekend:
36 people mapped early, from October 6-9, documenting 4,765 GPS maximum flood extents and captured 124 time stamped geotagged pictures
61 people on Friday, October 10, mapped 7,395 GPS maximum flood extents and captured 341 time stamped geotagged pictures
77 people on Saturday, October 11, mapped 7,139 GPS maximum flood extents and captured 211 time stamped geotagged pictures
64 people on Sunday, October 12, mapped 7,821 GPS maximum flood extents and captured 200 time stamped geotagged picturesVolunteers of 'Catch the King' Tide 2025 freely collected this dataset using the Sea Level Rise mobile application developed by Wetlands Watch and Concursive, Inc. Catch the King 2025 was sponsored by the Hampton Roads Sanitation District and AECOM, and Catch the King 2025 was graciously granted media support by WHRO Public Media, The Virginian-Pilot, the Daily Press, and the Commonwealth Center for Recurrent Flooding Resiliency. Volunteer coordination and training of community scientists was orchestrated/managed by Stephanie Letourneau at Wetlands Watch and a dedicated team of tide captains and teachers. GPS volunteer data were shared with W&M/VIMS for public dissemination via Concursive, Inc. and some schools and volunteers directly
