Banshee Worx was founded in May 2003 some 2 months after the ending of Lightning Records which was the company that took care for the Bonzai brand and imprint since 1992 until early March 2003. Now things changed and Banshee Worx was formed by Fly (owner and founder of the Bonzai trademark), Marnik (former International and A & R from Lightning Records) and 2 artist/producer/dj’s who were also part of the Lightning Records artist roster, namely: Yves Deruyter (Belgium’s finest DJ) and Laurent Véronnez (aka Airwave) (one of the biggest upcoming talents for the next years to come!!!).
So, nothing much has changed, a new entity has been formed and the same driving forces behind the succes of the Bonzai imprint will continue to serve the universe with the greatest trance music with artists like Airwave, Yves Deruyter, Push, Plastic Boy, Quadran, Lolo, DJ Fire, Fire & Ice, Solar Factor, Cape Town, Philippe Van Mullem , ... and many new ones to come.
Almost 3 years have passed since the launch of Banshee Worx and we are still expanding, dedicated and secure, our little group of labels and artists. With the continuously descending physical music market we have been devoting a lot of time in developing our on-line activities. Not only do we keep a weekly updated webstore running (including customized soundcarriers) but also launched the Bonzai Digital Network, where we offer all cd- and vinylreleases + digital only releases for digital download at fair rates both via our own downloadshop powered by Audio Jelly and a range if digital download partners including the number one worldwide downloadshop iTunes Music Store, Beatport, ID & T Dance-Tunes, Track It Down, Deeep.Net, ...
In addition to support the wide range of labels we handle, with an average of 6 to 8 physical releases a month and additionally all releases in digital format + exclusive digital only releases, we have created the iPOOL, a dedicated website that delivers both promotional music and the iPool Supreme Membership that delivers music via a unique podcast link.
What would the use be of all these investments without……NEW ARTISTS ! Since the company start we have signed a bunch of new and old talents such as, DJ Elof, Vincent Kriek, Jamez, Vlad Dzyatko, Will Holland, Rob Styles & DJ Danjo aka PRIMER, Solid Slide, Björn Small, Armandi, Liquified, Sunquest, Reminisence, NIB, Antidote, Ljungqvist, Soldout, Daddy, Latigidi, ... Undoubtfully this list is incomplete and unfinished taken in consideration the amount of good stuff that’s rocketed our direction.
And the story continues in 2006 ...

[edit] Keyphrase extraction algorithm KEA
Remark to the editors: Please put this article under the already existing but empty page: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=KeaTextMining
KEA is an algorithm for indexing electronic full text documents with keyphrases, representing these documents' main topics. Keyphrase indexing provides useful metadata for storage and accessing electronic documents. In academic papers, keyphrases are assigned by the authors, in digital and conventional libraries professional indexers assign keyphrases manually, usually using a reference (e.g. Library of Congress Subject Headings). Blog authors assign content tags to their article, which is another form of keyphrases.
KEA is being developed at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, Hamilton. The current version allows to specify a controlled vocabulary, from which keyphrases should be chosen. KEA's results are close to those achieved by professional human indexers. It combines machine learning methods with natural language processing.

[edit] gravitational focusing
the equation for accretion rate by a planetary core is given by:
Mdot = pi * R^2 * sigma * omega * Fg
where Fg is the gravitational focusing term which is dependent on the ratio of velocity of the planetesimal to escape velocity from the accreting planetary core and also the inclinations and eccentricities of the particles in the protoplanetary disk. Numerical simulations have shown that this equation give an accurate value for the rate of accretion for a non-migrating (i.e. orbital radius in fixed) planet.

LMPcoloursmall.jpgFounded by Harry Blech in 1949 as the UK’s first chamber orchestra, the London Mozart Players (LMP) is regarded as one of the finest ensembles, bringing together outstanding musicians from the UK and abroad to perform music of the highest quality. Internationally renowned for its live performances and CD recordings and particularly known for its definitive performances of the core Classical repertoire, it also has an innovative approach to music-making and gives many world premières, especially of British composers.
The LMP has performed with many distinguished conductors, including Sir John Barbirolli, Sir John Eliot Gardner, Sir Charles Mackerras, Sir Roger Norrington and Sir Georg Solti. Former Music Directors of the LMP include Andrew Parrott, an acknowledged expert in the field of early music, Matthias Bamert, Jane Glover and Harry Blech himself. Currently titled conductors are Sir James Galway OBE (Principal Guest Conductor) and Nicolae Moldoveanu (Associate Guest Conductor), with the actor Simon Callow CBE as the LMP’s Theatrical Advisor.
Concerts take place around the UK as well as at the orchestra's home, Fairfield Halls in Croydon, Surrey.
Contrary to popular belief, the orchestra plays more than 'just Mozart', although in Mozart's anniversary year, 2006, the LMP has performed his music at nearly 130 venues across Britain and in Europe.

Battle of Beaufort The Battle of Port Royal Island, Feb. 3, 1779, was little more than a hot skirmish, but it gave flagging Patriot morale a needed boost.
The British had landed a raiding force of 200 men and a howitzer on the island and although no attempt was made to capture Beaufort or assault Fort Lyttleton guarding it, the militia garrisoning the fort promptly took to their heels. This left the fort’s commander and his 20 men, all Continentals, no alternative but to spike the cannon and abandon the work.
He later was court-martialed, but completely exonerated since it was impossible for 20 men to defend the fort. No date for the landing or loss of the fort has been found, but it probably occurred about the end of January 1779.
About this time, 300 Charleston militia infantry supported by two field-pieces of the Charleston Artillery Battalion were dispatched to counter this British invasion of Palmetto State territory. The troops marched as far as Port Royal Ferry across Whale Branch, about 10 miles north of Beaufort, and set up camp on the mainland side.
There, on the night of Feb. 1, they were joined by their commander, Gen. William Moultrie, hero of the Battle of Sullivan’s Island on June 28, 1776. Moultrie found his men in hot debate over whether to cross the river which presumably would lead to fighting and the possibility that someone might get hurt.
Fortunately, about this time a small group of Beaufort militia, considerably braver than those who had left the fort, arrived at Moultrie’s camp and persuaded the Charleston men to cross the river and help defend the town.
Consequently, Moultrie left a guard for the camp and set out to cross Whale Branch. Today, a modern bridge whisks a car across the tidal stream in less than a minute. Moultrie, using the civilian ferry which probably was little more than a flatboat, began crossing his "army" during the morning of Feb. 2. By sunset he had 300 men and his artillery on the island and set out for Beaufort.
He arrived at the outskirts during the night, rested his troops for a few hours, then marched into town at sunrise, Feb. 3.
Leaving the troops to set up camp, Moultrie and his staff went junketing
— they rode out to view the abandoned fort. While there, a messenger arrived with news that the British, who apparently had been inactive since landing, were now headed for town and only five miles away.
Moultrie sent an officer on a fast horse racing ahead to alert the troops who were in ranks and ready to march by the time the general came galloping into town.
Another scout now reported that the British were fast approaching, so Moultrie hurriedly started his small army moving toward the enemy.
After marching about two miles, he received a third report — the British were not so close after all. They were still four miles away.
Granted more time, the general slowed the march and began looking for a favorable battleground. Before long, he found an excellent site, formed his troops, then sat back to await arrival of the enemy.
After an hour, no Redcoats had arrived, but a new report indicated they had changed their route and were now headed toward Port Royal Ferry.
Fearing his camp would be captured, Moultrie ordered his men into column again and set out in pursuit. He had gone about three miles and reached the vicinity of modern Grays Hill when another scout galloped up. The Redcoats were returning from the ferry, the scout reported and were less than a mile away.
As it turned out, the British had reached the ferry, but found the tide low and the ferry unable to operate. Consequently, they had given up the idea of attacking the camp and headed toward town.
Moultrie now looked desperately for the best available site for fighting and picked a swamp that would give his men cover. He headed for it only to discover the Redcoats already were in possession.
Halting about 200 yards from the enemy, the general formed his troops in a line across the road with the two fieldpieces, both 6-pounders, in the center. A third gun, a little 2-pounder which belonged to the Beaufort militia, he emplaced on the right protected by some woods. This piece was manned by the captain, who formerly commanded the fort, and several other officers, all voluntarily serving as privates.
The Americans opened the battle with fire from the two center artillery pieces, then Moultrie ordered both his wings to advance nearer the swamp and, as he put it, "...the firing became pretty general...."
The battle was the reverse of most Revolutionary War engagements —the Americans were in the open and the British snugged down amid bushes and brush at the edge of the swamp.
Before long, Moultrie found that his men were getting the worst of it and ordered them to take cover behind trees. The battle had now been going for about 45 minutes and the dreaded cry, "no more cartridges," was raised along the American line.
The artillery also reported that after firing about 40 rounds from each piece, they were almost out of ammunition. Faced with impending defeat, Moultrie ordered the guns withdrawn and the infantry to fall back, keeping pace with the artillery. This was a particularly dangerous maneuver with undisciplined militia who were prone to seek safety in flight at the slightest hint of retreat.
However, Moultrie was lucky — the Redcoats had started a quiet withdrawal just before the Americans. With no pressure against them, Moultrie’s untrained militia performed like veterans.
The mutual retreat left victory a tossup. But Moultrie, whose troops were a little slower, was last on the field and claimed credit for the battle which has come down in history as an American victory.
In retrospect, both sides did pretty well under the circumstances. The British, only 200 strong, obviously planned only to threaten Gen. Benjamin Lincoln’s supply line between Purrysburgh and Charleston and were in no position to fight the hordes of militia that could be aroused against them. Outnumbered three to two, these professionals held their own despite bad luck at the start of the battle. Their only artillery piece, the howitzer, was put out of action by a shot from one of the American 6-pounders.
The Americans, although untrained militia, stood in the open against the British regulars, a rare occurrence during the Revolution. They also, even if subject to argument, did hold the field at the end of the battle and thus, technically at least, were the winners. The Americans also accomplished their mission of driving off the enemy for the British left Port Royal Island and returned to Savannah.
Eight Americans were killed and 22 wounded. British casualties are difficult to ascertain, but were said to have been heavy. However, all sources of this information are American and may be inclined to exaggerate. Moreover, since the Americans, fighting in the open, had relatively light casualties, it seems doubtful that the British, with greater protection, would have suffered more. This is especially true since neither side seems to have made any real attempt to close and get down to serious fighting.
Consequently, American statements that the British lost all of their officers are probably wishful thinking and perhaps exaggeration of the two they did lose.
These officers were exhumed from shallow graves on the field and reburied by the Americans with full honors in St. Helena’s Episcopal Church cemetery. Certainly, had there been others, they would have been similarly honored.

[edit] Brandir Ribbon Rack
The Brandir Ribbon Rack is a revolutionary design for a bicycle rack that combined both functionality and aesthetics, garnering industry approval and widespread success. The characteristic design of the rack features a single, continuous piece of undulating metal that allows for storage of multiple bicycles. The design of the Brandir Ribbon Rack originated from wire sculptures created by David Levine in the 1970's. In November of 1978, a friend of Levine and ardent bicyclist, G. Duff Bailey, saw Levine's sculptures and informed Levine of the potential use of the design. Soon thereafter, Levine began mass marketing his invention and the Brandir Ribbon Rack received multiple awards and general industry acceptance.
In November of 1982, Levine discovered that another company, Cascade Pacific Lumber Co., was selling a product similar to the Ribbon Rack. Levine tried unsuccessfully to secure copyright protection for his design. In 1987, the landmark supreme court case, Brandir International, Inc. v. Cascade Pacific Lumber Co., was handed down. The ruling effectively denied copyright protection to the Brandir Ribbon Rack. In reaching its conclusion, the Court examined and clarified the legal principal of conceptual separability, settling on a test set forth in a law review article authored by Professor Denicola. The court found that, where design elements reflect a merger of aesthetic and functional considerations, the artistic aspects of a work cannot be said to be conceptually separable from the utilitarian elements. Accordingly, the Brandir Ribbon Rack was not protectible by Copyright Law.

[edit] Louis G. Mangini
Louis G. Mangini, born 1934, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. Father, Giuseppe Mangini, who died tragically in the 5th Avenue Draft Riot in 1942, was an ardent supporter of nuclear proliferation and the elimination of all pan-Asian peoples and cultures. Mother, Lucinda Girbaldi, raised Louis until he attended west point in 1961. He graduated with honors and was shipped to Africa to maintain peace in the volatile Cape Horn region. Upon his return from Cape Horn, where he successfully held a workers rebellion at bay using brutal tactics promises of salvation, he started writing poems and participating in fundamentalist right-wing community initiatives in Brooklyn. After the death of his mother in 1966, Louis applied for and received a job working as a mail carrier in Manhattan, which he used as an affront to disseminate anti-Asian literature and coupons for non-Korean supermarkets. After he was exposed in 1968, a summary hearing was help in front of the Post-Master General, resulting in the revocation of Louis' mail-carrying license and pension. Devastated, he re-enlisted in the USMC and was transferred to Saigon with the rank of Brig. General. Accounts of Louis' time in Vietnam vary. Most soldiers in his command regarded him as a reserved and dignified man, who harbored an irrational hatred for both north and South Vietnamese alike. Other accounts of the Brig. General's behavior in Saigon are at best eccentric and at worst criminal. It was reported in “Our Side”, that Brig. Gen. Mangini personally killed or ordered the killings of up to 750 women, children and homosexuals. After his commission in Saigon was up, Mangini returned to Brooklyn where he continued writing poems and handing out literature, until one seasonably warm afternoon in late October, 1981 when a young teen of Thai descent posing as a masseuse, shot Mangini 5 times in the groin, rendering him unable to walk.
