In American football , the A formation was a variation of the single wing formation used with great success by the New York Giants of the 1930s and early 1940s. This formation was masterminded by Giants coach Steve Owen football Steve Owen and relied heavily upon Pro Football Hall of Fame Hall of Fame Center American football center Mel Hein for its success. The A formation differed from the traditional single wing in that the quarterback played further back from the line and closer to the center. It also place the backfield opposite the strong side of the unbalanced line, providing more flexibility in the running game though less power . The wingback is on the opposite side compared to the single wing and the quarterback is the primary passer, rather than the tailback . The name of the formation was arbitrary, not from its slight resemblance to the letter A , unlike formations named I , T , V , and Y for the shapes formed by the backs positioning Owen labeled the standard single wing his team s B formation. ref cite book last Owen first Steve title My Kind of Football publisher David McKay Company, Inc. year 1952 location New York City pages 131 167 ref One major advantage of the A is the center could snap the ball to any of three players typically to the fullback or blocking back for runs and the quarterback for passes.

Image Achernar.jpg thumb The Be star Achernar , flattened by extremely rapid rotation A Be star is a Stellar classification B type star with prominent emission line s of hydrogen in its spectrum. The designation is combined by the spectral class, B , and the lowercase e denoting emission in the spectral classification system. Line emission from other atomic ion s might be present as well, but is typically much weaker. Other observational characteristics include optical linear polarization and often infrared radiation that is much stronger than in ordinary B class stars, called infrared excess . As the Be nature is transient, Be stars might exhibit a normal B type spectrum at times, and hitherto normal B stars may become Be stars.

about the board game Star the mathematical game from combinatorial game theory Star game Star is a complex abstract strategy game by Ea Ea , a designer of Y game Y . It is a redevelopment of his earlier game Star board game Star . Image star6.png thumb 200px right A small Star board. Image star8.png thumb 200px right A medium size Star board. Image star10.png thumb 200px right The full Star board. Rules Star can be played on graphs of different sizes. The three shown boards have 105, 180, and 275 nodes of which 30, 40, and 50 are on the perimeter. Note that the edges between the five centermost nodes cross each other. Two players alternately place stones of their colour on empty nodes. The game ends when the board is filled up or when both players agree that the score is decided . Each node on the perimeter of the board counts as one peri . Connected groups of one color that contain fewer than two peries are removed, with the possible peri going to the surrounding group. Each remaining group is worth the number of peries it contains minus four. The player with more points wins. Draws are decided in favour of the player owning more corners. For example, a group containing exactly two peries is worth 2 4 2 points. This is the same as the two peries being given to the opponent. That is, creating a group with just two peries is worthless unless it disconnects opponent groups or contains a corner. Comparison to Other Games Star is closely related to games of Hex board game Hex and Y game Y where the goal is to connect certain sides of the board to each other. On the other hand, Star is closely related to Go board game Go in which the goal is to gather more territory than the opponent.

Stratigraphy In Belgian lithostratigraphy the Voort Formation is part of the Rupel Group , though other formations in this group are slightly older of the early Oligocene Rupelian stage . In the Netherlands the Voort Member is part of the Veldhoven Formation. In Belgium, a clay ey subunit is treated as a member of the Voort Formation Veldhoven Member . In Dutch lithostratigraphy, this unit is classified as another member of the Veldhoven Formation and called the Wintelre Member . In Belgium the Voort Formation is stratigraphically below the early Miocene marine Berchem Formation in Antwerpen province Antwerpen or Bolderberg Formation in Limburg Belgium Limburg . In the Netherlands it is below the early Miocene Breda Formation . In Belgium the Voort Formation is on top of the older formations of the Rupel Group Boom Formation or Eigenbilzen Formation , in the Netherlands the Voort Member is on top of the Rupel Formation . Lithology The Voort Formation consists of a 60 meters thick layer of greyish to greenish mica ceous and glauconite glauconiferous fine sand. This is alternated by greenish sandy clay. cliff crag s or pyrite rich clay layers can occur locally. In the Roer Valley Graben the formation can be up to 300 meter in thickness.
