## Plot synopsis

Lisa Chelgrin is a US Senator's daughter. Her life has been erased and true past blocked. Her imposed, fake new identity is Joanna Rand. A detective, Alex Hunter, is hired to track Lisa down, but he finds nothing. Years later, during a vacation in Kyoto, Japan, he views a lounge act in which Lisa Chelgrin performs. Her name is different than it was before, and she is older, now working as the nightclub owner and singer. Nevertheless, the detective knows it is she. He sends for his dead-case file, and his privately employed messenger is almost killed delivering it. Someone is watching him and Lisa.
At the same time, a person known as The Doctor (Inamura) is trying to find a way around Lisa's memory block. He assumes that by removing a "password" or "pass-phrase," he can access Lisa's true memories. Under hypnosis, however, Lisa can only repeat the phrase "tension, apprehension, and dissension have begun," instead of answering the questions The Doctor asks her about her true past. After the first series of events, Lisa and Alex try to deal with their respective pasts so they can survive.

# NGC 2792

NGC 2792 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Vela. NGC 2792 was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1835.

## Observation

With an apparent visual magnitude of 11.6, you must use a telescope with an aperture of at least 200 mm to observe it.

## Characteristics
### Distance, size and speed

Two very similar distances are indicated on the SIMBAD database: 3.086 ± 0.617 kpc (~10,100 ly) and approximately 3050 pc (~9,950 ly).
The apparent size of the nebula is 0.350′ × 0.315, which, given the distance of 3,086 ± 617 pc and through simple calculation, equates to an actual size of 1.02 ± 0.20 al × 0 .92 ± 0.18 ly.
Two identical speed values are also indicated on SIMBAD, i.e. 14.0 ± 5.0 km/s. According to a more recent publication (2023) the speed of the nebula is 12.7 ± 8 km/s.

## Age

The kinematic age of a planetary nebula can be estimated from its expansion speed. According to González-Santamaría and his colleagues, the expansion speed of NGC 2792 is 20 km/s, which gives it a kinematic age of 3.5 thousand years. According to a more recent publication, its expansion speed is 20.2 km/s.
According to González-Santamaría, it has been approximately 50,860 years since the star left the asymptotic giant branch and the nebula enveloping it reached 1% of the mass of the progenitor.

## Central star

The visual magnitude of this star is equal to 16.74 and its mass is estimated at 1.163 solar masses. The radius of the nebula is estimated at 0.108 pc.

# Annales des Maladies de la Peau et de la Syphilis

Annales des Maladies de la Peau et de la Syphilis was a French medical journal established in 1843 by Pierre Cazenave. In 1844 it published the first account of pemphigus foliaceus, written by Cazenave. Most issues were his works and its contents reflect a summary of his career in general.
The journal's final years saw papers describing several experiments on syphilis, including one where Cazenave claimed to have inoculated himself with the disease. Contributions also came from William Wallace, Philippe Ricord, and Vidal de Cassis.
The journal ceased publication in 1852.

## Foundation

Annales des Maladies de la Peau et de la Syphilis was established in 1843 by the French dermatologist Pierre Louis Alphée Cazenave, who had trained under Jean-Louis Marie Alibert at the Hôpital Saint-Louis. It focussed on skin diseases and syphilis.
The second dermatological journal, it was released five years after Syphilidologie; both combined the specialties of dermatology and venereology. At the time, Cazenave was professor of medicine at the Hôpital Saint-Louis, where he used his observations to publish in the journal.

## Contents

Cazenave wrote most of the text himself and its contents reflect a summary of his career in general. Sometimes he used a different name as authorship. He published the first account of pemphigus foliaceus in the journal in 1844. In it he also wrote on lupus erythematosus.
The early 1850s saw the appearance of several reports on "syphilization". In his article titled "Observations. Syphilide tuberculeuse. Ecthyma syphilitique. Périostoses. Inoculation avec succès du symptôme secondaire," (1850-1851) Cazenave claimed to have inoculated himself with syphilis. It received little attention unlike the experiments of Johann von Waller in "Du caractère contagieux de la syphilis secondaire," (1850-1851), which gave the account of infecting several children using pus from presumed cases of secondary syphilis.
In a later issue, the 1830s experiments by Dublin's William Wallace and Lourcine's Henri Bouley appeared in an article titled "De la contagion, par voie d'inoculation artificielle, des accidents consécutifs de la syphilis". A detailed account of how Bouley re-infected a woman with syphilis appeared in the November 1851 issue.
The journal ceased publication in 1852.

# Mandra, Haskovo Province

Mandra is a village in the municipality of Haskovo, in Haskovo Province, in southern Bulgaria.
The prominent Ottoman Ayan Hasköylü Emin Ağa, who belonged to the Bulgarian Turks, was born 1751 in this village. Around 1794-1795 he became the captain of 25.000 Kardzhali's, a band of Mountain Bandits (Rumeli Dağlı İsyanları) in Rumelia, and ruled the Kardzhali-Haskovo area, de facto independent of the Sublime Porte. He built a big konak, which today can only be seen as a ruin. He took many Bulgarian women to his harem.

Haller had been introduced to Radin by photographer Ronald Sisman, and visited his home hoping to revive her stalled acting career. The day after the party, Haller was discovered on a commuter train to Manhattan, unconscious and bloodied. She claimed to have been beaten and raped during the party at Radin's home, and further alleged that the crimes had been filmed by Radin and/or others in attendance. Radin claimed that Haller had consented to sexual games during the party.
The Haller case was widely covered by the New York City press. In 1981, businessman Robert McKeage pleaded guilty to assaulting Haller, and was sentenced to 30 days imprisonment.
# Alaunbach

The Alaunbach is a left tributary of the Vilicher Bach in Bonn, district of Beuel. Its total length is 2.51 kilometers and its catchment area is 1.7 square kilometers. It is located in Germany. The creek is heavily anthropogenic, especially in its lower section in the commercial area of Pützchen and in the settlement area of Bechlinghoven. Site-appropriate riparian trees are rarely found. The stream areas above the “Am Rehsprung” allotment gardens are more natural.
Overall, the creek can be described as poor in species and individuals.
Originally, the stream flowed from the headwaters on the Hardt between Holzlar and Niederholtorf directly into the Mühlenbach, which is also used for cattle watering, presumably along the Hardtweiherstraße at the former mill pond there. After complaints from residents, the section up to the confluence of the Teufelsbach was taken over by Leopold in accordance with an agreement brokered by the mayor of Vilich in 1822 between farmers from Bechlinghoven and Holzlar and the miner Leopold Bleibtreu "for himself and as business representative of the mining and metallurgical union on the Hardt".
Bleibtreu created as a "ditch" to receive the "vitriolic discharges from the Rothenberg" and the waste water from the two alum smelters[3]. The Alaunbach now served as an open sewage ditch for the harmful sulphate, i.e. sulphurous, waste water from the slags of Alaunhütte II, while the Teufelsbach collects that from the heaps of Alaunhütte I (on Pützchens Chaussee); In addition, the Alaunbach absorbs the seepage water, which is reddish-brown due to iron compounds and which escaped from the alumina and lignite deposits that were also mined there in the past[4]. The area from Hardtweiherstraße is still (partially) visible from this sewage system.

# Torquato Tasso (opera)

Torquato Tasso is a melodramma semiserio, or "semi-serious" opera, in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti and based on the life of the great poet Torquato Tasso. The Italian libretto was written by Jacopo Ferretti, who used a number of sources for his text, including works by Giovanni Rosini, Goethe, Goldoni and Lord Byron, as well as Tasso's actual poetry. It premiered on 9 September 1833 at the Teatro Valle, Rome.
The work has been criticized for "its odd deployment of vocal types" characteristic of the semiseria genre.

# Schulze Registers

The Schulze Registers are the only surviving record of clandestine marriages in Ireland.
Canon law in the 18th and 19th centuries in Ireland stipulated that banns should be called or a marriage licence obtained before a marriage could take place and that the marriage should be celebrated in the parish where at least one of the parties was resident. Also, the marriage had to be celebrated by a clergyman of one of the religious denominations then in Ireland.
Some clergymen were willing, for a fee, to marry couples in secret, in "irregular" or "clandestine" marriages. This might have been necessary for a number of reasons, for example, objections of parents, problems with religious affiliation, or financial difficulty. While most of these "couple-beggars" did not keep a record of the marriages, some did—among them J.G.F. Schulze (died February 1839), minister of the Lutheran Church in Poolbeg Street, Dublin. He was licensed to act only in his own congregation, but is known to have married couples of all sects, recording over 6,000 marriages between 1806 and 1837. Two of his registers of marriage survive, and are held by the General Register Office of Births, Deaths and Marriages in Dublin. The marriages performed by Schulze, over 6000, have also been indexed in a book 'Irregular Marriages in Dublin before 1837' by Henry (Harry) McDowell (2015).

# Tang Man Sit v Capacious Investments Ltd

Tang Man Sit v Capacious Investments Ltd [1995] UKPC 54 is an English trusts law case, concerning breach of trust and liability for dishonest assistance.

## Facts

Before he died, Mr Tang Man Sit signed a deed to assign houses to Capacious Investments Ltd. Later, he let them, without Capacious knowing. Capacious sought a declaration that Mr Tang Wing Hon Alan, Mr Tang's personal representative, should assign back the house free of incumbrances, account for the profits from the lease, and pay the profits over. It should also compensate for losses from use and occupation of the house, with a deduction for profits, and damages to the fall in the house value, as a result of the wrongful occupation.
The Court of Appeal of Hong Kong held that Capacious Investments Ltd had elected to get a remedy for restitution, and so could not recover damages for wrongful occupation as well. Both appealed.

## Judgment

Lord Nicholls held that Capacious Investments Ltd could recover damages for loss of market rental value, and loss resulting from overuse and deterioration of the houses. It was true that remedies for loss of profits, and damages for loss of use and occupation were alternatives. However, Capacious had made no election when the judge made the order for profits and damages. It could proceed to claim for an assessment of damages, to see how much that would be, and then make an election.
Lord Keith, Lord Lloyd, Lord Steyn and Hardie Boys J agreed.
