# Yadollah Royaee

Yadollah Royaee (7 May 1932 – 12 September 2022; Persian: یدالله رؤیایی) was an Iranian poet of the New Wave or the Poem of Imagination in Iranian Modern Literature.

## Life and career

Royale was born in Damghan, Semnan province, Iran on 7 May 1932. He was a graduate of the college of law and human sciences and he had worked for the state television for several years. His poetry renewed debate about the relative value of form and context in modern Persian poetry. Yadollah was careful to produce unity in his poems. His sea songs reflect French symbolism. He moved to exotic marine landscapes and creates glorious lyrical images, focusing mostly on symbols rather than metaphors in image building. His lyrics are deeply imbued with Persian mysticism. Royaee invented and introduced a style in Persian poetry that he named Espacementalisme. His work "Le Passé en je signature" was translated into French in 2002. He died in Paris, France on 12 September 2022, at the age of 90.

# South Lansing, New York

South Lansing is a census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Lansing, Tompkins County, New York, United States. The CDP includes the hamlets of South Lansing, Terpening Corners, and Asbury. The area was first listed as a CDP prior to the 2020 census.
The community is in northern Tompkins County, southeast of the geographic center of the town of Lansing. It is the location of the Lansing Town Hall. New York State Route 34 passes through the community, leading north 30 miles (48 km) to Auburn and south through the village of Lansing 7 miles (11 km) to Ithaca. State Route 34B joins Route 34 briefly in South Lansing but heads east 7 miles (11 km) to Route 38 between Groton and Freeville, while to the west it soon turns and runs parallel to Route 34, rejoining it in Fleming.

## Education

The CDP is in the Lansing Central School District.
# Bruno Bertotti

Bruno Bertotti (24 December 1930 – 20 October 2018) was an Italian physicist, emeritus professor at the University of Pavia. He was one of the last students of physicist Erwin Schrödinger.
Bertotti was well known for his contributions to general relativity – particularly the Bertotti–Robinson electrovacuum, an exact solution of the Einstein field equation. He pioneered the post-Minkowskian expansion. He has also obtained a more accurate measurement of the parameter gamma of the parameterized post-Newtonian formalism, with the Cassini radioscience experiment. The PPN gamma parameter measures the curvature of space in the metric theory of gravitation and it is equal to one in general relativity.
More recent studies revealed that the measured value of the PPN parameter gamma is affected by gravitomagnetic effect caused by the orbital motion of Sun around the barycenter of the solar system. The gravitomagnetic effect in the Cassini radioscience experiment was implicitly postulated by Bertotti as having a pure general relativistic origin but its theoretical value has been never tested in the experiment which effectively makes the experimental uncertainty in the measured value of gamma actually larger (by a factor of 10) than that claimed by Bertotti and co-authors in Nature.
Between 1953 and 1956, Bertotti worked as a scholar at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Following, Bertotti was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, in 1958-59. In 2007 he was awarded the Italian Gold Medal for Merit in Science and Culture. Among the last scholars in relativity from the University of Pavia are Alessandro Spallicci and Alberto Vecchio.
# Issam Hallaq

# Loch Earn

Loch Earn (Scottish Gaelic, Loch Eire/Loch Éireann) is a freshwater loch in the southern highlands of Scotland, in the districts of Perth and Kinross and Stirling.
The name is thought to mean "Loch of Scotland", and it has been suggested that this might derive from the time when the Gaels were expanding their kingdom of Dál Riata eastwards into Pictland.

## Geography

It is a long narrow loch, 10 miles (16 km) west of Crieff and is approximately 7 miles (11 km) long, 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) at its widest point (56.38N, 4.22W) and at its deepest point (approximately halfway along) about 285 feet (87 metres). Lochearnhead village is situated at the western end of the loch and St. Fillans village at the eastern end. From here, the River Earn flows eastwards from the loch, through Strathearn, and eventually joins the Firth of Tay some 50 miles (80 km) away. Lochearnhead is the centre for the water sports activities on the loch; water skiing, canoeing and sailing. The loch is also stocked regularly with brown and rainbow trout and fishing, by permit, is possible from the shore and by boat.
To the south of the loch lies Ben Vorlich, a steep sided pyramid shaped peak. At 3,232 feet (985 metres), this is a popular climb and the views from the top are spectacular. Just east of Lochearnhead, on the south side of the loch, is Edinample Castle, built by 'Black' Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy in 1584. Further east is Ardvorlich House, home to the Stewarts of Ardvorlich from 1580 (rebuilt in 1790).
Loch Earn is unusual in that it has its own apparent 'tidal system', or seiche, caused by the action of the prevailing wind blowing along the loch. This wind pressure on the surface causes the water level to build up at one end of the loch. As with all damped mechanical systems, applied pressure can result in an oscillation, and the water will return to the opposite end of the loch over time. In the case of Loch Earn, this has a period of 16 hours and the effect can be measured, but is difficult to observe. The resulting currents can create complex turbulence patterns, as higher layers of warmer waters mix with the lower lying colder waters of the loch.
Other bodies of fresh water which experience this seiche effect include Lake Geneva, Lake Garda, the Great Lakes and Lake Baikal.

## Notable visitors

In August 1906, Edith Holden visited the Loch and while cycling along the North side observed "the finest Larches she had ever seen".
In October 1964, The Beatles stayed at The Four Seasons Hotel at St Fillans. They stayed in two of the chalets overlooking Loch Earn and also went boating on the loch.

# Cazador, San Luis

Cazador (San Luis) is a village and municipality in San Luis Province in central Argentina.
# Wendy Jo Smith

Wendy Jo Smith, better known as her stage-name Wendy Ho, is an American rap-artist, singer, and comedian.

## Early life and career

Smith was born in Toledo, Ohio, and spent much of her childhood in Kansas City, Kansas. She moved to New York City in the summer of 2002, where she participated in the cabaret scene and performed in regional theatre shows. She acquired the nickname "Wendy Ho" while attending college at Southwest Missouri State University, where she was the recipient of the Kathleen Turner Performance Scholarship.
Smith began her career in the comedy clubs of New York, eventually playing a Christmas show at a gay-oriented venue. From that point forward she began focusing much of her act on gay audiences. The persona used in the act used her college nickname "Wendy Ho", which has been described as a parody of a prostitute from Harlem as well as a "female drag queen". Her act contains both stand-up comedy, rap performances, and singing. She has stated that she uses the word "Ho" in her stage name in order to reclaim the word from its negative connotations.

## Entertainment career

Smith's first release was the rap album The Gospel According to Ho, for which the music video for the track Bitch, I Stole Yo' Purse was produced. The video earned its way into circulation on the cable music video channel Logo TV. Logo viewers voted the video the "ultimate funniest video in February 2008. The television series Nip/Tuck also hired Jennifer Coolidge to play a parody of the Wendy Ho persona called "Hot Coco", who sings a song titled Yo Stank from an album titled The Gospel According to Coco (the name of which parodies the title of Smith's first album). After the performance Coolidge stated "Wendy Ho is about as cool as it gets. I'd never seen anything like her."
The song Fuck Me became a favorite among drag queens in the United States, who began commonly performing to the song after its release.
