BAKER SENIOR STUDENTS’ UNION COALDALE, ALBERTA PRESENT fetmics This Is the first attempt to bring "MILESTONES” In s consecutive series. Pages will be added In the following years to bring the book up to date. Thus we hope to bring you a more complete coverage of events happening during the transition periods between school terms. We Invite you to journey with us through our yearbook and see what "MILESTONES" we have passed in the preceding and present school terms. l ( 3 kw u dedication!* 3 lbx±.l..l-l...l,-1..1..1..1..17TZgJl •3 F™ ;w-r .1.1 17 ■<77) S K?7?7??7???777?77????777 ??????7?T? ??????????????????????????????T??????????????????????????” & & 3? r5 <£ s> Thia edition of MILESTONES ia de­dicated to Mr.R.J.Baldry. It ia our de-aire to recognize the many contributiona made to the life of Coaldale by Mr. Baldry.. He served the interests of the students of this district as a member and chairman of the school board for over 15 years. In addition many years of service to the community went into his work as a member of the Village Council. A c 2 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE In a democratic society such as ours it is the privilege of every boy and girl to obtain twelve years of education at Public Expense. It is the responsibility of every boy and girl in a society such as ours to take advantage of these educational opportunities which are available to them. It Is well to remember that when privileges are abused it is possible for the privilege itself to be lost. It is my hope that each and everyone of you are using to the best advantage,the privilege which has been accorded to you,by the citizens of our community, In this school of ours. I wish you every success in your academic endeavors, and it is my prayer that you find it possible to follow the vocation or profession which you have chosen, so that the contributions you make to society throughout your life, will repay in part, the sacrifices which others have made for you. 3 Mr. E.

Here, in the sanctuary of High School, we were taught; now we must teach ourselves, tony of us came to Coaldale High from other schools, other provinces and even other countries. Among us are students of different races and of many nationalities. Neverthe­less, here, we are gathered as one class, pursuing a common goal-to seek truth,to glean knowledge, and to develop an understanding of life.As our forebearers have done and as our successors shall have to do, we too, must carry high the banners of our school. It will now be our privilege and duty to help make our nation a better place in which to live. ( Writing up the minutes, our Secretary of 1956, 1957& '58 is very neat. Ih an oratofcical contest in 1956 she could not be beat. 8ur school years can be divided into three books. Book One consisting of the elementary grades, Book Two--Junior High, and Book Three--High School. Each of these books contain chapters. It was throughout these chapters that we learned and put into action the spirit of good sportsmanship. It was also here that we learned to respect the rights, not only of the individual, but of the community and of the country. 1 believe that if we want to know where our happiness or where our usefulness lies, we will have to analyze frankly our own weaknesses. We may make mistakes,but if we are willing to learn and to profit by these mistakes and to ever press forward towards a worthy goal, then our dreams may become a reality and life a useful thing. It is tnen we can offer our gift to society; it may be as a teacher, a minister, a journalist, a doctor, or an engineer. It is a great privilege to be one of the grad­uates to pass through these halls of learning. I hope that we may be worthy of the faith and the trust placed in us by our parents and our teachers. c In the words of Shakespeare, "Parting Is such sweet sorrow". And so, we bid farewell to Coaldale High School. 8 LORRAINE HIGA JUDY JACOBSEN Yearbook------------------11 Bugle------------------------12 Dance Club------- 10,11 Curling Club--------- 12 RAY SHIMA Year Book----------11,12 Bugle--------------------9,12 Dance Club--------10,11 Curling---------------------- 9 Executive—10,11,12 Year Book--------------- 1& Bugle----------------------- 12 Dance Club-------10,11 GRADUATES GLENDA JENSEN DIRK KOK Curling--------------- 9,1C Year Book---------11,12 Bugle-----------------9,12 Glee.

ThiSj, of course, is due largely to the work of the BUGLE sfcaff members and resa report­ers, to whoa we would like to express bur thanks for the co­op aration rec eired,, But much of th© credit goes to the teaching-staff members-who enabled us to use the fact lilies of the school in prepar-lag th© BUGLE® Mr-, Baldwin, who spent hours in checking reports and getting them typed and printede deserves special men­tion, as does Mr, Solberg, who greatly helped us in connection with contributions to our Easter Issue,, As, this report is being written, preparations are under­way for a final giant--size issue of the BUGLE.,, and in anticipa­tion of the outcome of this pro-jest, we would Ilk© to express our thanks to those who will give us their cooperation, Also from the rest of the staff,, we wish good luck and success to next year’s IKJGLS-staff ® 7 s SOCIAL REPORT Vllma Pales and On .June ? „ 1957, the annual banquet and dance honoring th© grad© twelve graduands was held in the R.I.

    Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ

    No full text
    The ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5. The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%. Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations

    La dinámica asociada a la iteración de una función racional genera una partición de la esfera de Riemann en dos conjuntos, el de normalidad (o el conjunto de Fatou) y su complemento (el conjunto de Julia). Los dominios propios del conjunto de Fatou pueden además clasificarse en cinco tipos de acuerdo a su modelo dinámico local, a decir en dominios atractores, súperatractores, parabólicos, de rotación tipo Siegel o tipo Herman. Al considerar la extensión de la teoría de iteración racional para funciones meromorfas transcendentes, surgen dos nuevas clases de dominios del conjunto de Fatou: los dominios de Baker y los dominios errantes. Un dominio de Baker se caracteriza por estar directamente relacionado con la singularidad esencial en infinito de la función meromorfa transcendente, pues dicho punto pertenece a la frontera del dominio. En este caso el punto al infinito es llamado punto de Baker. Las funciones complejo-valuadas que son analíticas excepto en un conjunto compacto contable de la esfera, son denominadas funciones meromorfas de clase K. La extensión de la teoría de iteración para la clase K fue recientemente formalizada a mediados de la década de 1990 y existen resultados análogos a la teoría Fatou-Julia en este contexto (por ejemplo, la clasificación de los dominios de Fatou realizada por funciones meromorfas transcendentes también es realizada por funciones en K). En este trabajo, se estudia una subclase de funciones de clase K de la forma z+exp(g(z)), con g una función meromorfa transcendente o racional. Para estas funciones se demuestra que, bajo ciertas condiciones de crecimiento en vecindades de las singularidades esenciales, cada una de las singularidades es un punto de Baker y tiene asociado un número infinito de dominios de Baker invariantes. Además se demuestra que el modelo dinámico local en cada dominio es semi-conjugado a una translación. El trabajo se complementa con el estudio dinámico de una familia uniparamétrica de funciones en K, estableciendo para ciertos casos la conectividad de los dominios de Baker. Este y otros ejemplos presentados en la tesis resultan ser los primeros en la literatura del área de funciones en la clase K que exhiben dominios de Baker

    When Seve met Bregovi?: folklore, turbofolk and the boundaries of Croatian musical identity

    No full text
    Popular music in Croatia has consistently been a field where the boundaries of national cultural identity are set, contested and transgressed. The most contentious boundaries involve Serbian culture and the abstract “east”, to which essentialized nationalist concepts of Croatian culture denied any similarity. The Croatian singer Severina’s attempt to represent Croatia at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest with her song Moja štikla (My stiletto) called these aspects into question with connotations which could be claimed as both Croatian and Serbian. Although the song was justified with reference to the (disputed) authenticity of Croatian folklore, it ultimately suggested that Croatian cultural space could not be separated from that of the other ex-Yugoslav states

    Baker, Zach, “Springdale, Leavenworth County,” Chapman Center Research Collections, https://ccrsresearchcollections.omeka.net/items/show/3.The author describes the life of an early Irish Catholic settlement in eastern Kansas. Originally a Quaker community, Irish immigration "exploded" there just after the Civil War, eventually stamping the town with a particular religious culture. After railroads made the Fort Riley mail road obsolete, Springdale declined. St. Thomas Catholic Church was a vital center for decades

    Quantum Entanglement in Top Quark Pair Production

    No full text
    Top quarks, the most massive particles in the standard model, attract considerable attention since they decay before hadronizing. This presents physicists with a unique opportunity to directly investigate their properties. In this letter, we expand upon the work of G. Iskander, J. Pan, M. Tyler, C. Weber and O. K. Baker to demonstrate that even with the most massive fundamental particle, we see the same manifestation of entanglement observed in both electroweak and electromagnetic interactions. We propose that the thermal component resulting from protons colliding into two top quarks emerges from entanglement within the two-proton wave function. The presence of entanglement implies the coexistence of both thermal and hard scattering components in the transverse momentum distribution. We use published ATLAS and CMS results to show that the data exhibits the expected behavior.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
