The Narrow
The Narrow is an alternative rock band from Pretoria, South Africa. Biography The band was formed in 2002 by guitarists Emile and Sid, bassist Jow Feldtmann and drummer Nelius de Lange. Shortly thereafter Emile brought in his former Not My Dog bandmate Hanu de Jong as the band's vocalist, completing the line up. In early 2003 the band released their debut album ''Self Conscious'' to wide critical acclaim and a South African Music Awards (SAMA) nomination. In June that same year founding guitarist Sid left the band and was replaced by Deon Kruger. In 2004 the band released their follow-up album ''Travellers''. The album earned the band their second SAMA nomination and the single "Lonely-Lonely" helped launch the band to greater recognition and popularity. In 2005 the band remastered and re-released both their albums, with added tracks of old and new unreleased material. After a slew of international stints the band underwent a brief hiatus in 2007 but became active again in 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Narrow Banking
Full-reserve banking (also known as 100% reserve banking, narrow banking, or sovereign money system) is a system of banking where banks do not lend demand deposits and instead, only lend from time deposits. It differs from fractional-reserve banking, in which banks may lend funds on deposit, while fully reserved banks would be required to keep the full amount of each customer's demand deposits in cash, available for immediate withdrawal. Monetary reforms that included full-reserve banking have been proposed in the past, notably in 1935 by a group of economists, including Irving Fisher, under the so-called "Chicago plan" as a response to the Great Depression. Currently, no country in the world requires full-reserve banking across primary credit institutions, although Iceland has considered it. In a 2018 ballot referendum, Switzerland voted overwhelmingly to reject the Sovereign Money Initiative which has full reserve banking as a prominent component of its proposed reform of the ...

Narrow Gauge Railway
A narrow-gauge railway (narrow-gauge railroad in the US) is a railway with a track gauge narrower than standard . Most narrow-gauge railways are between and . Since narrow-gauge railways are usually built with tighter curves, smaller structure gauges, and lighter rails, they can be less costly to build, equip, and operate than standard- or broad-gauge railways (particularly in mountainous or difficult terrain). Lower-cost narrow-gauge railways are often used in mountainous terrain, where engineering savings can be substantial. Lower-cost narrow-gauge railways are often built to serve industries as well as sparsely populated communities where the traffic potential would not justify the cost of a standard- or broad-gauge line. Narrow-gauge railways have specialised use in mines and other environments where a small structure gauge necessitates a small loading gauge. In some countries, narrow gauge is the standard; Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Aust ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wide And Narrow Data
Wide and narrow (sometimes un-stacked and stacked, or wide and tall) are terms used to describe two different presentations for tabular data.Chantala, K. (2006 "Using STATA to Analyze data from a Sample Survey" 1-10-2001. UNC Chapel Hill, Carolina Population Center. 10-1-2006. Wide Wide, or unstacked data is presented with each different data variable in a separate column. Narrow : Narrow, stacked, or long data is presented with one column containing all the values and another column listing the context of the value This is often easier to implement; addition of a new field does not require any changes to the structure of the table, however it can be harder for people to understand. Implementations Many statistical and data processing systems have functions to convert between these two presentations, for instance the R programming language has several packages such as thtidyrpackage. The pandas package in Python implements this operation afunction which converts a wide t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Narrowboat
A narrowboat is a particular type of canal boat, built to fit the narrow locks of the United Kingdom. The UK's canal system provided a nationwide transport network during the Industrial Revolution, but with the advent of the railways, commercial canal traffic gradually diminished and the last regular long-distance transportation of goods by canal had virtually disappeared by 1970. However, some commercial traffic continued. From the 1970s onward narrowboats were gradually being converted into permanent residences or as holiday lettings. Currently, about 8580 narrowboats are registered as 'permanent homes' on Britain's waterway system and represent a growing alternative community living on semi-permanent moorings or continuously cruising. For any boat to enter a narrow lock, it must be under wide, so most narrowboats are nominally wide. A narrowboat's maximum length is generally , as anything longer will be unable to navigate much of the British canal network, because the n ...

This view was also expressed by the band's guitarist, Alex Garcia. For the follow-up album, Sanders "really wanted tto feel like something different." A tur ...
