Léman was the name of a department of the First French Empire. Its name is the French name of Lake Geneva, Lac Léman. It was formed in 1798, when the republic of Geneva was occupied by the French. Léman also included districts that were previously part of the departments of Mont-Blanc (northern Savoy) and Ain (around Gex). Its territory corresponded with the present Swiss canton of Geneva and parts of the present French departments of Ain and Haute-Savoie.
The capital of the Léman department was Geneva. The department was subdivided into the following arrondissements and cantons (situation in 1812):
Its population, in 1812, was 210,478 and its area was 280,000 hectares.
After the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815, the former republic of Geneva became a Swiss canton, and Savoy was returned to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The area around Gex returned to department of Ain.
Child development refers to the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence yet having a unique course for every child. It does not progress at the same rate and each stage is affected by the preceding types of development. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of child development. Related terms include developmental psychology, referring to development throughout the lifespan, and pediatrics, the branch of medicine relating to the care of children. Developmental change may occur as a result of genetically-controlled processes known as maturation, or as a result of environmental factors and learning, but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. It may also occur as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment.
Embodied music cognition is a direction within systematic musicology interested in studying the role of the human body in relation to all musical activities.
It considers the human body as the natural mediator between mind (focused on musical intentions, meanings, significations) and physical environment (containing musical sound and other types of energy that affords human action).
Given the impact of body movement on musical meaning formation and signification, the musical mind is said to be embodied. Embodiment assumes that what happens in the mind is depending on properties of the body, such as kinaesthetic properties.
Embodied music cognition tends to see music perception as based on action. For example, many people move when they listen to music. Through movement, it is assumed that people give meaning to music. This type of meaning-formation is corporeal, rather than cerebral because it is understood through the body. This is different from a disembodied approach to music cognition, which sees musical meaning as being based on a perception-based analysis of musical structure. The embodied grounding of music perception is based on a multi-modal encoding of auditory information and on principles that ensure the coupling of perception and action.

Marc Leman Embodied music cognition – a new approach to mediation technologies There are two important trends in modern science that will have a large impact on music research and media research in general. The fist trend concerns the shift from disembodied cognition to embodied cognition. Embodied music cognition offers a framework for dealing with music, based on a hypothesis about the relationship between musical experience (mind) and sound energy (matter). In this mind/matter relationship, the human body is seen as a biologically designed mediator which transfers physical energy to an ontology of action-oriented meanings, that is, to a mental level in which experiences, values and intentions form the basic ingredients of music signification. Also the reverse process is possible, nam...

Le lac Léman, appelé aussi « lac de Genève », ou « Le Léman », est un lac d'origine glaciaire situé entre la Suisse et la France ; par sa superficie, c'est le plus grand lac alpin et subalpin d'Europe centrale. Son nom, probablement d'origine celtique, nous est parvenu via le latin lacus Lemanus. Lake Geneva (French: lac Léman, sometimes lac de Genève [ German: Genfersee) is a lake on the north side of the Alps, shared between Switzerland and France. It is one of the largest lakes in Western Europe and the largest on the course of the Rhône. 59.53% ( 345.31 km2 (133.32 sq mi) ) of it comes under the jurisdiction of Switzerland (cantons of Vaud, Geneva, and Valais), and 40.47% (234.71 km2 (90.62 sq mi)) under France (department of Haute-Savoie).

Author: Leman Akoglu, Computer Science Department, Stony Brook University Abstract: Given a network in which nodes are associated with a list of attributes, how can we define and characterize communities? How can we spot anomalous communities and anomalies within communities? Networks have long been studied and focus has most recently shifted to 'networks with content'. Long-studied network questions, such as ranking, clustering, and similarity, are reconsidered for such networks, as the new information such as node/edge attributes and types help enrich the formulations and increase our understanding of real-world networks. In this talk, I will introduce our work on spotting anomalies in networks with node attributes. Our main approach to anomaly mining in attributed networks is through ...

A high-market holiday resort and spa town on the shores of Lake Geneva (French: Lac Léman), it has been visited, over two centuries, by royalty such as Kings Edward VII and George V of the United Kingdom and King Farouk of Egypt, and celebrities such as countess Anna de Noailles and Marcel Proust. The springs of Evian were still rather unknown at the time of the French Revolution. But the First Empire's interest for spa towns inspired a scientist to analyse the Evian springs in 1807 and 1808. A lakeside port and a new road (RN5) connecting the town to Milan and Paris were constructed in 1809. ...

US citizens and green card holders need to file FBAR Form TD 90-22.1 with the US Department of the Treasury if their accounts overseas totaled more than $10,000 at any given time in a given tax year. It could be in one account or in multiple accounts: $4,000 + $4,000 + $4,000 = $12,000, which is greater than the $10,000 threshold, so someone with these three accounts would need to file the FBAR.
