# Garuka Sanketh

Garuka Sanketh (born 30 May 2005) is a Sri Lankan cricketer.

## Biography

He attended the Lyceum International School for his primary and secondary education.

## Career

He was named in Sri Lankan squad for the 2023 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup which was held in the United Arab Emirates.
In January 2024, he was named in Sri Lanka's squad for the 2024 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup which was held in South Africa. Sanketh had an underwhelming Under-19 World Cup campaign in 2024, where he only managed to pick up two scalps in four matches. However, it was his slingy bowling action that caught the attention of the cricketing fraternity during the 2024 edition of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Sanketh's bowling action was rated similar to the bowling action of fellow Sri Lankan speedster Matheesha Pathirana. Sanketh's release point at his bowling followthrough during his runup is believed to be slightly higher than that of Pathirana's.
In April 2024, he was roped in as a net bowler by the Delhi Capitals franchise during the 2024 Indian Premier League. Later in the same month, Sanketh was included in the Sri Lanka development squad for a bilateral three match home T20 series against the Uganda national cricket team, which was played at the Galle International Cricket Stadium.
He made his T20 debut playing for SLC Greens against SLC Reds on 4 May 2024 during Sri Lanka's intra-squad T20 World Cup preparation matches, which were organised by Sri Lanka Cricket to finalise Sri Lanka's final squad for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. In May 2024, he was bought by Colombo Strikers in the LPL auction for US$13,000 ahead of the 2024 Lanka Premier League. He made his List A debut playing for Moors Sports Club against Kandy Customs Cricket Club on 10 June 2024 at the Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament.
He was picked by Chennai Brave Jaguars for the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10. In November 2024, he was bought by Colombo Jaguars franchise for the inaugural edition of the Lanka T10 in 2024. He was bought by Dubai Capitals ahead of the 2025 International League T20.

# Early Morning Rain

"Early Morning Rain", sometimes styled as "Early Mornin' Rain", is a song written, composed, and recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. The song appears on his 1966 debut album Lightfoot! and, in a re-recorded version, on the 1975 compilation Gord's Gold.

## Background

Lightfoot wrote and composed the song in 1964, but its genesis took root during his 1960 sojourn in Westlake, Los Angeles. Throughout this time, Lightfoot sometimes became homesick and would go out to the Los Angeles International Airport on rainy days to watch the approaching aircraft. The imagery of the flights taking off into the overcast sky was still with him when, in 1964, he was caring for his 5-month-old baby son and he thought, "I’ll put him over here in his crib, and I’ll write myself a tune." "Early Morning Rain" was the result.

## Notable recordings and performances

The version by Ian & Sylvia reached #1 on the Canadian AC charts, August 2, 1965. Peter Paul and Mary's version of the song was recorded in August 1965, reaching No. 39 in Canada, and No. 91 on the Billboard Hot 100. The next year, George Hamilton IV's version hit No. 9 on the US country chart In April 1971, Oliver's version hit No. 38 on the US adult contemporary chart. Paul Weller took the song to No. 40 in the United Kingdom in 2005. Notably, Elvis Presley recorded and played the song live dozens of times. Under the title "Dans la brume du matin" (in the morning mist), the French cover of this song was a hit in France by Joe Dassin.

# Memorandum (film)

Memorandum is a one-hour 1965 documentary co-directed by Donald Brittain and John Spotton, and produced by John Kemeny for the National Film Board of Canada. It follows Bernard Laufer, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, on an emotional pilgrimage back to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Considered by many critics to be Brittain's finest work, the film's title refers to Hitler's memorandum about the "final solution."
A detailed analysis of the film's structure is available in Ken Dancyger's The Technique of Film and Video Editing: History, Theory and Practice.

# Treaty of Versailles (1758)

The Treaty of Versailles of 1758, also called the Third Treaty of Versailles, confirmed the earlier treaties that had been signed at Versailles in 1756 and 1757 between Austria and France. However, it also revoked the 1757 treaty's agreement to create an independent state in the Austrian Netherlands, ruled by Philip, Duke of Parma; it would remain under Austrian rule.

## Aftermath

France, which was expecting a swift victory against Prussia because of a coalition with Austria, Russia, Sweden and Saxony, was caught up with the reality of the war. Although the decision to install a Bourbon monarch in the Austrian Netherlands was revoked, the treaty greatly hastened the ever-increasing desire of the coalition not only to defeat but also to destroy Prussia. The treaty seems to serve more as a moral guarantee to the coalition than an actual alliance, as the coalition suffered an undisputed string of defeats in the hand of the British and Prussia from 1759.

# William Gottlieb Schauffler

William Gottlieb Schauffler (August 22, 1798 – January 27, 1883) was a German missionary.

## Biography

Schauffler was born in Stuttgart, Germany on August 22, 1798, and died in New York City on January 27, 1883. He emigrated to Odessa, Russia, with his parents and about 400 others, in 1804, and adopted his father's trade, that of a maker of wooden musical instruments. In 1820 the preaching of Ignatius Lindl, a Roman Catholic priest of evangelical views, turned his thoughts toward religion, and he resolved to devote his life to mission work. After serving as an independent missionary in Turkey in 1826, he made his way to the United States, with no property but his clothes, his flute, and one dollar in money, and entered Andover Theological Seminary, where he supported himself for a time by turning wooden bed-posts. He was graduated in 1830, ordained on November 14, 1831, and returned to Turkey under the auspices of the American board.
Schauffler married Mary Reynolds (1802-1895) on the 24th of February, 1834, and resided chiefly in Constantinople during his missionary service of forty-four years, laboring principally among the Jews and Armenians. In 1843 he was instrumental in persuading Sir Stratford Canning, the British minister, to interfere in behalf of members of the latter race that had been persecuted by the Armenian patriarch. For his efforts in behalf of the German colony in Constantinople he received a decoration from the king of Prussia. From 1839 till 1842 he resided in Vienna engaged in translating the Scriptures into Hebrew-Spanish. The work was published in that city in two quarto volumes. He made a visit to this country in 1857-'8, and from 1877, three years after his retirement from active work, resided here till his death. The University of Halle gave him the degree of D. D. in 1867, and Princeton that of LL. D. in 1879. Dr. Schauffler was a scholar of fine attainments, being "able to speak ten languages and read as many more." Besides the work mentioned above, he was the author of a translation of the Bible into Turkish, which received high praise. His English publications include, besides single sermons, "Essay on the Right Use of Property" (Boston, 1832), and "Meditations on the Last Days of Christ" (1837; new eds., 1853 and 1858). See his "Autobiography," edited by his sons, with an introduction by Prof. Edwards A. Park (New York, 1887).

# Karen Aplin

Karen Aplin is a British atmospheric and space physicist. She is currently a professor at the University of Bristol. Aplin has made significant contributions to interdisciplinary aspects of space and terrestrial science, in particular the importance of electrical effects on planetary atmospheres. She was awarded the 2021 James Dungey Lectureship of the Royal Astronomical Society.

## Education and research career

After attending The High School, Gloucester, Aplin completed a BSc in Natural Sciences at Durham University in 1997. She was president of Durham University Orchestral Society and received the Norah C. Bowes bequest for the arts. She completed her PhD in experimental atmospheric physics in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading in 2000. She took up research posts at the University of Hertfordshire and the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, working on aspects of space and atmospheric instrumentation, before becoming head of the physics laboratories at Oxford University in 2009. In 2018 she moved to the University of Bristol.

## Work on atmospheric electricity

Aplin's research has focussed on innovative instrumentation as applied to problems in space and atmospheric science, in particular electrical effects and measurements. She currently maintains the Snowdon space-weather observatory. She has performed experimental work on the atmospheric effects of ions formed by cosmic rays, but has been keen to stress that the formed "particles are too small to act as cloud condensation nuclei", and thus there is unlikely to be a strong cosmic-ray link to global cloud cover.
Her work on atmospheric electricity also extends to the link between volcanoes, lightning and radon gas, and to other solar system bodies, in particular the ultraviolet and galactic cosmic ray effects on Neptune's atmosphere.
In a similarly interdisciplinary spirit, Aplin has researched the influence of the climate and weather on western orchestral composers.

## Awards and recognition

# Wrestling (1961 film)

Wrestling (Original French title: La lutte) is a 1961 documentary film about professional wrestling in Montreal. It was produced by Jacques Bobet for the French program branch of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).
The film was co-directed by Michel Brault, Marcel Carrière, Claude Fournier and Claude Jutra, with Jutra and Fournier as cinematographers. (Due to confusion with the wrestling promotor Don Owen, film scholars have incorrectly credited the NFB's Don Owen as being the cinematographer or assistant director on Wrestling; the latter did not work on the film.)

## Production

Wrestling was shot in the Montreal Forum, where major bouts were staged, as well as wrestling parlors where would be wrestlers learned and practiced their craft.
The filmmakers had intended to make a film exposing, in slow motion, the fakery of professional wrestling, until a chance encounter with French philosopher Roland Barthes changed their minds. Barthes was appalled by what they were planning to do, and spoke urgently about the beauty and social role of pro wrestling in the lives of ordinary people. Persuaded by Barthes, the filmmakers set out to make a film that captured the spectacle of the sport, without judging it.
The film shows the wrestling arena to be a sort of modern-day shrine, with wrestling and its rituals taking the place of religion in the then-recently secularized Quebec.
