# Renée Doria

Renée Doria (13 February 1921 – 6 March 2021) was a French opera singer, one of the leading lyric coloratura sopranos of her era in France.

## Biography

Born Renée Dumazert in Perpignan, France, after a thorough musical training (piano, solfege, harmony) she turned to vocal study with Umberto Valdarmini, and made her singing debut in concert at the age of 18. Her official operatic debut took place in 1942, at the Opéra de Marseille, as Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia.
After singing Constance in Die Entführung aus dem Serail in Cannes under Reynaldo Hahn, and the three heroines (Olympia, Giulietta, Antonia) in Les contes d'Hoffmann in Strasbourg, opposite the great French bass-baritone Vanni Marcoux, she made her Paris debut at the Gaîté-Lyrique in 1943, as Lakmé, and the following year, made her debut at the Opéra-Comique, in the same role. Her debut at the Paris Opera in 1947, as the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute, was highly successful. Other roles at that house included: Leila in Les pêcheurs de perles, the title role in Mireille, Marguerite in Faust, Juliette in Roméo et Juliette, Ophélie in Hamlet, Manon, Thaïs, as well as Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Gilda in Rigoletto, and Violetta in La traviata, etc. She appeared in the premiere of Rocio by Maurice Perez with Ninon Vallin in Mulhouse in 1949.
Doria also sang in baroque music such as Rameau's Les Indes galantes, and contemporary works, such as Ravel's L'heure espagnole, and Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. In thirty years of career, Doria sang an estimated sixty roles. She retired from the stage after appearances as Susanna in Limoges in 1968.
Renée Doria made several recordings, most notably, complete studio recordings of Contes d'Hoffmann (1948), Thaïs (1961), Mireille (1962), Massenet's Sapho (1978), and excerpts from Rigoletto, Faust, and Manon, opposite Alain Vanzo, as well as recitals of arias and songs. Doria was noted for "highly expressive verbal shading... exquisite command of soft dynamics" and a "vibrant top extension".
She resided in La Celle-sur-Morin. Doria died in March 2021, less than a month after her 100th birthday.

# Today's the Day (game show)

Today's the Day was a British television daytime quiz programme that was broadcast on BBC2 from 12 July 1993 until 12 March 1999. The programme was originally hosted by Andrew Rawnsley until he was replaced by Martyn Lewis.

## Format

Teams of two contestants each competed to answer questions about events that had taken place in past years on the episode's broadcast date.
Several rounds were played during each episode, with the order varying slightly from one series to the next:
* Stop the Clip: A 30-second news film clip was played, and the first contestant to buzz in with a correct answer to the host's question about it won points for his/her team. The point value decreased as the clip continued.
* TV Round: Teams alternated choosing clips from classic television shows on a video wall and answering questions about them. A miss gave the opposing team a chance to score with a correct answer.
* Quick-Fire Round: A speed round of questions, in which anyone from either team could buzz in.
* Video Wall: Same rules as the TV Round, but using news film clips.
* One-Minute Quick-Fire Round: Always played as the final round to determine the day's winner. One contestant from each team took part; playing separately, each was given 60 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. The contestant on the trailing team went first.
Teams could remain on the show for a maximum of five days before retiring undefeated. At the end of each series, the teams with the highest final scores were invited back to compete in a knockout tournament, with a pair of round-the-world air tickets awarded to the winning team. All contestants who appeared on the programme received a newspaper printed on the day they were born.

# Grey-browed wren

The grey-browed wren (Pheugopedius schulenbergi) is a small passerine bird in the wren family Troglodytidae. It is found in northern Peru north of the Río Marañón. It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the plain-tailed wren.

## Taxonomy

The grey-browed wren was formally described in 1985 by the American ornithologists Theodore A. Parker III and John P. O'Neill based on a specimen that had been collected at an altitude of 2,713 m (8,901 ft) in the Cordillera de Colán of the Amazonas region of northern Peru. They considered the specimen to be a subspecies of the plain-tailed wren and coined the trinomial name Thryothorus euophrys schulenbergi where the specific epithet was chosen to honour Thomas S. Schulenberg who had collected the holotype. It is now treated as a separate species based on the distinctive vocalizations and some morphological differences.

# India at the 2002 Winter Olympics

India competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, United States, from 8 to 24 February 2002. The country's participation in Salt Lake City marked its sixth appearance at the Winter Olympics since its debut in 1964.
The India team consisted of one male luger, Shiva Keshavan, who was the country's flag-bearer during the opening ceremony. He did not win a medal, and as of these Games, India had not earned a Winter Olympic medal.

## Background

The Indian Olympic Association was recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1927. However, by this time, they had already competed in three Summer Olympic Games, in 1900, 1920, and 1924. The nation made its first Winter Olympics appearance at the 1964 Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck, Austria. This edition of the Games marked the nation's sixth appearance at the Winter Olympics.
The Indian delegation consisted of a lone athlete, Shiva Keshavan. Keshavan was the country's flag-bearer in the Parade of Nations during the opening ceremony.

## Career

Saldanha was born in Bombay on 12 August 1962. He made his first-class cricket debut at the age of 18 during 1980–81 Ranji Trophy playing for Karnataka. During his playing career, which spanned between the 1980/81 and 1992/93 seasons, he appeared in 66 first-class matches and 8 List A matches. In 1981, he played two Youth Tests and one Youth ODI on India's Under-19 tour of England.
Saldanha was the leading run-getter of the 1986–87 Ranji Trophy with 782 runs at an average of more than 71. Between the 1986/87 and 1987/88 seasons, he was selected in the South Zone cricket team and the India Under-25 team.

# Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre

The Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre (QEIIMC), commonly known as just QEII, is a medical campus in Perth, Western Australia, situated in the suburb of Nedlands directly adjacent to Kings Park. It contains Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, the Perth Children's Hospital, the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, and various smaller facilities.
The current QEII site was bought by the state government in 1910, and in 1922 a 999-year lease (that is, until the year 2921) was granted to the University of Western Australia (UWA). The land remained largely undeveloped, so in 1953 the land was designated for the construction of a new medical centre with a teaching hospital at its core. The site was originally known as the Perth Medical Centre, but changed its name in 1977 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II. A 1966 act of parliament created a separate trust to manage the land, with UWA receiving representation on the board.
