Matsuura Takanobu
Matsuura Takanobu or Taqua Nombo (1529-1599) was a 16th century Japanese samurai and daimyo of Hirado. He was one of the most powerful feudal lords of Kyushu and one of the first lords to allow trading with Europeans, particularly the Portuguese. He was also an early host and patron to the Jesuits whom he hoped would influence an increase in trade with the Portuguese and other European traders.

Biography
After ascending to the throne in 1641, the 13-year-old Takanobu was advised by Yasumasa Toyohisa. Toyohisa was a well-known samurai and cousin of the previous damiyo and, under his guidance, the domains of the Koteta family were increased to include much of Ikitsuki, together with the islands of Takushima, Ojika, Noshima as well as the areas of Kasuga, Shishi and Iira in Hirado. That same year, he became an ally of a powerful wokou leader who he invited to live in Hirado and allowed his band to dominate the outlying islands off Kyushu.

During the 1550s, he was involved in a fierce rivalry with the rival daimyo of Omura, the Christian convert Omura Sumitada, who also competed for Portuguese trade. This rivalry would last for over three decades, and long after Takanobu had retired from the throne, until Omura eventually became the Portuguese "port of call" when the damiyo ceded Nagasaki to the Jesuits in 1680.

Although tolerant to the religious movement introduced to Japan, his retainer Koteda Yasumasa became the first samurai to convert to Catholicism in 1551, he expelled the Jesuits from his domain in 1558. The evangelism of the Jesuits' followers resulted in the destruction of three Buddhist temples and throwing artifacts into the sea. A speech given by a Zen priest from Yasumandake spoke out against Father Gaspar Vilela and resulted in several mobs of Buddhist followers stoning the three churches in the area and, in one instance, toppling the cross from one church. This recent surge in religious violence forced Takanobu to ask Vilela to leave. He later forced Kato Saemon, lord of the district of Kato, into forced retirement in Nagasaki due to pressure from his brothers.

In 1568, he stepped down from the throne in favor of his son Shigenobu. His grandson was also named Matsuura Takanobu and baptized in 1591. Matsuura Takanobu died in 1599.

online psychotherapy
Psychosocial interventions are effective in the treatment of a range of psychiatric disorders. Supply constraints however mean that access to psychotherapy is limited, particularly for those in less developed coutries and in rural areas. The use and acceptability of the Internet as a medium for information on a range of physical and mental health issues is well documented.

More recently, the the Internet has become a vehicle in which psychological assessment can be conducted and treatment can be delivered. Compared to face-to-face treatment for psychological disorders, on-line interventions may be more appealing to those with mental illness. Online interventions are potentially accessible, cost-effective, and enable limitless access.

A range of therapy formats currently exist online. Many of these interventions have been validated for efficacy, and have been tailored for specific disorders eg. MoodGYM for depression (http://www.moodgym.anu.edu.au), panic online for panic disorder and http://www.moodswings.net.au for bipolar disorder. It is likely that the scope for online interventions will grow substantially.

Substantial Equivalence
In the case of medical devices, the FDA requires submission of a 510(k) document whereby the company anticipating developing and selling a medical device must show that the new device is designed to be substantially the same as a "predicate device", or one that has already been released to market previously.

Equivalency Document
During the course of validating products and processes, medical device manufacturers typically will forgo performing complete and exhaustive testing of a device, process or equipment because it is substantially the same as a device, process or equipment that has already been validated. In order for the manufacturer to dispense with formal or comprehensive testing, a document from a credible source must be generated formally stating the factors, attributes or design elements that are substantially the same as something previously validated or historically known and rationale for why comprehensive testing is not required.

Princeton School of Architecture
The study of architecture at Princeton University began in 1832 with a course taught by Professor Joseph Henry, an amateur architect and scientist who later became the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The course, which covered the history of architecture including the classification of architecture, styles, and marbles, was the first humanities course taught at the College. Henry lectured on the subject until 1837, after which faculty members from various disciplines offered the course on a sporadic basis. The study of architecture continued informally throughout the latter part of the 1870s and into the 1880s.

The formal study of architecture returned in 1882 when the Department of Art and Archaeology was founded and Professor Allan Marquand offered a course in the history of Christian architecture. A course on the elements of architecture and historical drawing was offered beginning in 1902, and professional design courses were added to the curriculum in 1915. In the same year a committee was formed to investigate the formation of a School of Architecture. Arrangements had been made to open a School of Architecture in the fall of 1917, but World War I delayed the official opening of the School until 1919.

Although the School of Architecture was separate from the Department of Art and Archaeology, the two were closely allied and shared space and teaching staff. In fact, the School was the only architecture program in the country to be so closely integrated with an art history and archaeology program, and it was the only architecture program headed by an historian rather than a professional architect. Thus, the School of Architecture was founded on the belief that architects should have a well-rounded education in liberal studies; approach their profession primarily as an art; understand and appreciate the other arts in relation to architecture; and be taught the science of building construction as a part of their training in design rather than as an end in itself.

In its formative years the School of Architecture was guided by some of the best architectural educators of the times: Howard Crosby Butler, E. Raymond Bossange, Frederick D'Amato, Sherley Warner Morgan, and Jean Labatut. During these early years the graduate curriculum was reworked in response to the rapid advances in the technology of the time. Student life was enriched by repeated visits and teaching by many of the leading architects of the day, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Richard Neutra, and R. Buckminster Fuller.

As the School expanded, more space was required, and a new School of Architecture building was constructed on land adjacent to the Department of Art and Archaeology and the Art Museum. The building, dedicated in October 1963, housed drafting rooms, a freehand drawing room, a classroom, a seminar room, an exhibition gallery, faculty offices with preceptorial areas, a faculty conference room, the Dean's office, and the Winton Reading Room. In addition, there was space for the offices of the Center of Urban Research and a large sculpture studio and outdoor exhibition court for the Creative Arts Program.

In 1965 Robert Geddes was appointed the first Dean of the School of Architecture, succeeding Robert McLaughlin, who had been its Director since 1952. The title of Dean was chosen to better reflect the School of Architecture's expanding role within the University. Under Geddes' direction the School of Architecture continued its growth from a small program closely affiliated with the Department of Art and Archaeology to a full-fledged school that related in a broader context to many more departments within the University. This expansion helped the School of Architecture attract a number of notable architects to teach at Princeton whose careers were either well-established or on the rise: Louis I. Kahn, Mario Salvadori, Michael Graves, F.A.I.A., Kenneth Frampton, Peter Eisenman, F.A.I.A., and Anthony Vidler. Geddes also brought prominent visiting architects to the School, among them Henry Cobb, Naum Gabo, Rem Koolhaas, Robert A. M. Stern, and Robert Venturi.

Upon his retirement in 1982, Geddes was succeeded by Robert Maxwell, a scholar internationally known for critical writings that examined modern architecture in relationship to contemporary art, literature, and music. Maxwell served as Dean until 1989, when he was succeeded by Ralph Lerner, F.A.I.A., an architect whose practice includes projects in Europe, Asia, and North America. Lerner continued to enhance the excellence of the faculty and the curriculum and to maintain Princeton's distinguished position. In addition, he reorganized the curriculum for the A.B. degree into a single path with more diverse options for individual students; added courses in Computing and Imaging; restructured the courses in the area of Building Science to reflect advances in that area; introduced Landscape Studies into the undergraduate and graduate curriculum; and began long overdue renovations of selected areas in the Architecture Building.

Lerner strengthened the faculty with the goal of meeting future directions in design while continuing to explore the discourse between architectural theory and design and building technology. His appointments included Professors M. Christine Boyer and Mario Gandelsonas, A.I.A., in the area of urbanism; and Professor Guy Nordenson in the area of building science. Additionally, several members of the tenure-track faculty (Beatriz Colomina, Elizabeth Diller, and Guy Nordenson) were promoted to tenured positions.

In 2002, Lerner was succeeded by Stan Allen *88, a respected educator and practicing architect, who had previously been Director of the Advanced Architectural Design Program at Columbia University. As an architect, writer and educator, Allen intends to build on the School's strengths while moving forward in the areas of urbanism, technology, and design. Responding to the increasing complexity of architecture as a practice, new interdisciplinary alliances will be constructed to incorporate advanced computing capacities into the curriculum, and to expand the current focus on landscape, ecology and the environment. The School is committed to the specificity of architectural expertise at the same time that it is open to new forms of practice and collaborations with allied disciplines.

In 2007, the School completed construction of its first significant addition since the building was constructed in 1962. Designed by the New York firm of ARO (Stephen Cassell '86 and Adam Yarinsky *87), this three story glass and steel pavilion houses a new elevator and public stair, entry lobby, and student lounge space. Through associated program upgrades, the School has added new facilities to the building, including a model-making workshop and digital fabrication equipment. Precisely detailed and constructed, the new addition serves as an example of the School's commitment to design excellence.

Although the School of Architecture has expanded its facility, faculty, and student body over the years, it retains a small size that encourages close contact between faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduates. From the beginning, the School of Architecture's curriculum has always responded to changes in the profession and in architectural education, providing students with courses that reflect contemporary and emerging issues in architecture. Within this flexible academic framework, the School of Architecture has remained committed to its original goals: providing undergraduates with a well-rounded liberal arts education and a strong basis for additional studies in architecture, and offering graduate students a comprehensive education in design, technology, and the history and theories of architecture.

Guienne
Guienne is a historical area in the South West of France. Guienne changed boundaries constantly in history. Guienne as it existed from Henry IV's time (late 16th–early 17th century) until French Revolution consisted of the current departments of Gironde, Dordogne, Lot, Lot-et-Garonne, and Aveyron and most of Tarn-et-Garonne. It therefore did'nt have any geographic unity and included part of the Aquitaine basin and part of the Massif Central. The historical capital is Bordeaux, the chief port, and the centre of the wine industry. Guienne was synonymous with Aquitaine until the Hundred Years War (1337–1453). It passed to England through the marriage in1152 of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Henry II. In 1453, Guienne was reconquered by France. To its main components—Bordelais, Périgord, and Agenois, two former dependencies of Toulouse were added, Quercy and Rouergue. From the 17th cent. to 1792 it formed a part of the vast province of Guienne and Gascony under the jurisdiction of the parlement of Bordeaux. Guienne is a useful term to describe all of Aquitaine plus other parts which were constantly being added and subtracted. The term Guienne is, however, rarely used today.

Raphael Breuer
Rabbi Raphael Breuer was born in Pappa, Hungary to his father father Rabbi Salomon Breuer a noted German-Jewish rabbi and scholar.His post was as rabbi in Aschaffenburg, Germany. In 1926 when his father, who at that time was rabbi in Franfurt-Am-Maine, Germany died his name came up as a likely and approved-of candidate by many members of the community espcially being that he already was rabbi in Aschaffenburg and there somewhat qualified for the position.However, due to anti-dynastic sentiment (being that his father Salomon Breuer and his Grandfather Samson Raphael Hirsch had both held the position) to prevent a third generation from having the position of Chief Rabbi of Frankfurt he was rejected as a candidate despite great opposition from many. He died shortly, thereafter; some attribute this to shock and diappointment. His brother Rabbi Joseph Breuer later served as rav of the Washington Heights Frankfurt Kehilla in America. His brother was Isaac Breuer.
