In topology, a coherent topology is a topology that is uniquely determined by a family of subspaces. Loosely speaking, a topological space is coherent with a family of subspaces if it is a topological union of those subspaces. It is also sometimes called the weak topology generated by the family of subspaces, a notion which is quite different from the notion of a weak topology generated by a set of maps.
Let X be a topological space and let C = {Cα : α ∈ A} be a family of subspaces of X (typically C will be a cover of X). Then X is said to be coherent with C (or determined by C) if X has the final topology coinduced by the inclusion maps
By definition, this is the finest topology on (the underlying set of) X for which the inclusion maps are continuous.
Equivalently, X is coherent with C if either of the following two equivalent conditions holds:
Wind (stylized as WIND) is a J-pop song by Japanese singer Koda Kumi and is the eleventh single in her 12 Singles Collection. Much like the other singles in the collection, this single is also limited to 50,000 copies. The single managed to chart at #3 on Oricon and charted for six weeks. The song was used as the theme song to Fuji TV's トリノ2006 中継 (TORINO 2006 Chuukei / TORINO 2006 Relay).
WIND was also used as Koda Kumi's final performance song in a-nation, which was changed from Shake It Up.
As with the other singles in the collection, the cover of the single takes inspiration from Italy due to the Torino 2006 Relay taking place in Italy.
Currently, there are three renditions of WIND:
Wind Tower is a skyscraper in Downtown Miami, Florida, United States. It was completed in early 2008. It is located adjacent to the River Front East complex, on the north bank of the Miami River in Downtown. The building is located on Southwest 3rd Street and Miami Avenue. It is 501 ft (153 m) tall and has 41 floors. Floors 1-8 are used for parking, while floor 10 houses the building's recreation center, consisting of a pool area, racquetball court and fitness facility. The residential lobby is on the first floor. Floors 11-41 are used for residential units. The architect is Revuelta Vega Leon, who also designed the River Front East complex.

The Global Geospace Science (GGS) Wind satellite is a NASA science spacecraft launched at 04:31:00 EST on November 1, 1994 from launch pad 17B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Merritt Island, Florida aboard a McDonnell Douglas Delta II 7925-10 rocket. Wind was designed and manufactured by Martin Marietta Astro Space Division in East Windsor, New Jersey. The satellite is a spin stabilized cylindrical satellite with a diameter of 2.4 m and a height of 1.8 m.
It was deployed to study radio and plasma that occur in the solar wind and in the Earth's magnetosphere before the solar wind reaches the Earth. The spacecraft's original mission was to orbit the Sun at the L1 Lagrangian point, but this was delayed when the SOHO and ACE spacecraft were sent to the same location. Wind has been at L1 continuously since 2004, and is still operating as of June 27, 2015.Wind currently has enough fuel to last roughly 53 years at L1. Wind continues to produce relevant research, with its data having contributed to over 1400 publications since 2009 and over 2200 publications prior to 2009. As of February 10, 2015 (not including 2015 publications), the total number of publications either directly or indirectly using Wind data is ~3646. Note that many of these publications utilized Wind data indirectly by citing the OMNI dataset at CDAWeb, which relies heavily upon Wind measurements.
"Morning" is a Latin Jazz standard written by American pianist/composer/arranger Clare Fischer, first heard on his 1965 LP, Manteca!, Fischer's first recording conceived entirely in the Afro-Cuban idiom, which, along with the Brazilian music he had explored at length over the previous three years, would provide fertile ground for Fischer's musical explorations over the next half-century.
"Morning" was Fischer's first - and, to this day, his most famous - contribution to the then recently evolved cha-cha-chá genre. Its structure is the standard A-A-B-A, 32 measures in length. In practice, however, the song's debut recording does take one significant detour, paying unashamed homage to one of its composer's primary musical influences in the process, when, halfway through trombonist Gil Falco's solo, instead of proceeding to the bridge, "Morning" morphs into a 16-bar development of the principal 2-measure motif of "Spring Rounds," the fourth section from Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.
Leaves begin their color change and kiss the ground like falling rain
I hear the distant howl begin a cold October wind
The seasons come and then they wither like a dying rose
My pain is measured by a sky that's old and gray
A misty morning I awoke to find it's much too late
Pieces of time they keep falling down on me
It won't be long I can hear your song, October morning wind
I keep holding on to the fading sun, 'till you come back again
The sun is hiding once again it's warmth is like a long lost friend
Pictures fading in my mind memories of a young boy's life
The weeping willow by the lake where we could run and play
Lost all its magic it's become a ghost in time
The seasons came and they left me, tell me where'd they go
Pieces of my life they keep falling down on me
It won't be long I can hear your song, October morning wind
