STV voting acknowledges that voters for each elected representative may prefer different unelected candidates. To ensure this, excess (unused) votes from winning and losing candidates are transferred to remaining candidates according to the voter's preferences. This method is sometimes approximated in elections among schoolchildren; the children line-up behind the candidate of their choice until enough members have a long enough line behind them. Since the children would all know that each candidate only needs a certain number of clas ...

There has been much controversy over the fact that the UK Singles Chart has, for many years, been sponsored by various companies. This in itself would be unremarkable were it not for the fact that the chart is broadcast exclusively on BBC Radio 1, a public owned radio station which cannot sell advertising or sponsorship. The singles chart sponsorship is, however, sold by the Official UK Charts Company, and so the BBC does not receive any money from the deal. They have, in the past, mentioned the name of the sponsors when doing the chart rundown and this has in effect allowed the sponsors to do indirec ...

Single overhead cam - In America. While modern domestic manufacturers have only recently begun a large-scale implementation of overhead cam technology, it has been used in some domestic production vehicles intermittently at least since the 1960's, when Kaiser-Jeep produced the 230 cid "Tornado" SOHC inline six engine. In the 1970's, both General Motors and Ford produced SOHC inline four engines: the GM 2300 engine and the Ford "Pinto" engine, respectively. ...

The first British singles chart was published in the November 14, 1952 edition of the New Musical Express (NME). It was at first little more than a gimmick, a tool in the circulation war against NME's much older (and more popular) rival Melody Maker. The chart, at first a top 12, was the creation of the paper's advertising manager, Percy Dickins, who compiled it by telephoning around 20 major record stores and aggregating their sales reports. He would continue to personally oversee the c ...

In June 2000, Francis Joyon sailed the trimaran Eure et Loir from Plymouth to Newport in 9 days, 23 hours, 55 minutes, setting the record for a east-to-west transatlantic passage.[23] In the same month, Ellen MacArthur sailed the same route in the monohull Kingfisher in 14 days, 23 hours, 11 minutes. This is the record for a single-handed monohull east-to-west passage, and also the record for a woman in any vessel.^{See also:}

The front end of an SSB receiver is the same as that of an AM or FM receiver, consisting of a superheterodyne RF front end that produces a frequency-shifted version of the radio frequency (RF) signal within a standard intermediate frequency (IF) band. To recover the original signal from the IF SSB signal, the single sideband must be frequency-shifted down to its original range of baseband frequencies, by using a product detector which mixes it with the output of a beat frequency oscillator (BFO).  In ot ...

Early versions of the Atlas rocket can be considered to be expendable SSTOs by some definitions. It is a "stage and a half" rocket, jettisoning two of its three engines during ascent but retaining its fuel tanks and other structural elements. However, by modern standards the engines ran at low pressure and thus not particularly high specific impulse and were not especially lightweight; using engines operating with a higher specific impulse would have obv ...

A frequent concern with STV among electorates considering its adoption is its relative complexity compared with plurality voting methods. For example, when the Canadian province of British Columbia held a referendum on adopting the BC-STV Single Transferable Vote in 2005, according to polls a majority of "no" voters gave their reason as "wasn't knowledgeable" when they were asked why, specifically, they voted against STV.^{See also:}

The SUS emerged from a mid-1980s project to standardize operating system interfaces for software designed for variants of the Unix operating system. The need for standardization arose because enterprises using computers wanted to be able to develop programs that could be used on the computer systems of different manufacturers without reimplementing the programs. Unix was selected as the basis for a standard system interface partly because it was manufacturer-neutral. These standards became IEEE 1003 (also registered as ISO/IEC 9945), or POSIX, which loosely s ...

Single-handed sailing - The pioneers. In 1876, a 30-year-old fisherman named Alfred "Centennial" Johnson sailed out of Gloucester, Massachusetts to cross the Atlantic Ocean in an open dory named Centennial. His voyage, which arose from a dare with his friends over a game of cards, was timed to celebrate the first centennial of the United States. He set off on the 3,000-mile crossing on June 15, 1876; he averaged about 70 miles a day, and survived a major gale that capsized the boat, finally making landfall ...

Critics claim that a bullet that passed through several layers of clothing and flesh, destroyed a five inch (127 mm) section of a rib, broke a wrist radius bone, and shed metal fragments (some of which are buried with Connally) could not be in such nearly pristine shape, especially given that the, supposedly, same type "headshot" bullet, according to the Warren Commission, completely broke apart after passin ...

Single-issue politics are a form of litmus test; common examples are abortion, taxation, environment, and gun politics. The National Rifle Association in the United States, which has only one specific interest, is an example of a single-issue group. What differentiates single-issue groups from other interest groups is their intense style of lobbying. The term single-issue voter has been used to describe people who may make voting decisions based on the candidates' stance on a single issue (e.g. "pro-life" or "pro-choice", suppo ...
