# Heddy Lester

Heddy Lester (born Heddy Affolter, 18 June 1950 – 29 January 2023) was a Dutch singer and actress of Jewish-Surinamese origin, best known outside the Netherlands for her participation in the 1977 Eurovision Song Contest.

## Early career

Lester was born in Amsterdam. Her professional career started with Gert Balke as the duo April Shower, who had a minor hit with "Railroad Song" in 1971. Her father ran a restaurant in Amsterdam, where she met singer Ramses Shaffy, with whom she started touring. Lester launched her solo career in 1974.

## Eurovision Song Contest

In 1977, Lester's song "De mallemolen" ("The Merry-Go-Round"), with music written by her brother Frank, was chosen by a celebrity panel as the winner in the Dutch Eurovision selection. Lester went forward to take part in the 22nd Eurovision Song Contest, held in London on 7 May. Although "De mallemolen" had been considered a strong contender prior to the contest, it could only manage a disappointing 12th-place finish of 18 entries.

## Later career

After her Eurovision appearance, Lester worked in a variety of both musical and dramatic stage roles, including works by Lorca (Blood wedding), Euripides (The Trojan Women) and Joshua Sobol (Ghetto).
In 2009, Lester, along with several other former Dutch Eurovision contestants, was a special guest on that year's Eurovision selection television programme.

## Personal life and death

Lester died on 29 January 2023, at the age of 72, of bladder cancer.

# Dogs in Canada

Dogs in Canada was a print magazine published by the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) from 1889 to 2012. The publication went through different title changes, starting with Canadian Kennel Gazette, then Kennel and Bench, and finally Dogs in Canada. Issues were published monthly, along with an annual edition.

## History

Founded in 1889, Dogs in Canada was one of the oldest continually published magazines in Canada. It began as a newsletter by Apex Publishing Ltd., a subsidiary of the Canadian Kennel Club. The magazine originally focused purely on pedigree dogs and dog shows.
Due to a change in editorial direction, Dogs in Canada abandoned its focus on dog breeding and became a general-interest dog magazine aimed at pet owners.
In 2011, the Canadian Kennel Club decided to close its publishing arm, Apex Publishing Ltd., citing the worsening financial state of the publishing industry. The December 2011 edition and 2012 annual were the final publications of Dogs in Canada. However, the CKC maintains a digital archive for its members.

## Contents

Dogs in Canada published the columns reporting on subjects such as nutrition, behavior, health basics, breed lines, and letters to the editor. Features mainly focused on animal health and welfare, sporting activities, human-animal bond, travel and lifestyle, and breeding history and arts.
# Sandra Reemer

Barbara Alexandra "Sandra" Reemer (17 October 1950 – 6 June 2017) was an Indo-Dutch singer and television presenter. She represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest on three occasions, tying with Corry Brokken for most appearances representing the country.
In 1972, she sang the song "Als het om de liefde gaat" in a duet with Dries Holten (she was credited as "Sandra", he was credited as "Andres"); the duo came fourth. In 1976, this time credited under her real name, Reemer performed solo singing the song "The Party's Over", which reached ninth place. In 1979, she was credited as "Xandra" and sang the song "Colorado", which placed twelfth. She later returned to the contest to sing backing vocals (uncredited) for the Dutch entry in 1983, "Sing Me A Song", performed by Bernadette.
On Dutch television Reemer (co)hosted popular shows including Sterrenslag, Wedden, dat..? and Showmasters.
She died on 6 June 2017, following a long battle with breast cancer.
# Andrew Lamb (musician)

Andrew Lamb (born August 26, 1958, Clinton, North Carolina) is a jazz saxophonist and flautist. Lamb was raised in Chicago and South Jamaica, Queens. Having studied with AACM charter member Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre, Lamb came into New York City's avant-garde community during the 1970s, becoming an active presence in the Bedford-Stuyvesant arts world and winning a Brooklyn Arts Council grant.
In 1994, he led a session for Delmark, composing all the pieces on Portrait in the Mist, which featured vibraphonist Warren Smith, bassist Wilber Morris, and drummer Andrei Strobert. Lamb has since recorded duets with Warren Smith (Duet, WISland, 1999, and Dance of the Prophet), made a trio recording with Eugene Cooper and Andrei Strobert (Kiki Records), and in 2003 released Pilgrimage on CIMP with Tom Abbs and Andrei Strobert, as well as a later release with his group The Moving Form, Year of the Endless Moment (Engine Studios). Lamb has also recorded with Henry Grimes’s Sublime Communication trio Live from WKCR (2004) and Live at Edgefest in Ann Arbor (2005), both on the JazzNewYork Productions label.
Andrew Lamb and his own ensembles remain a regular presence in the New York area, and have frequently performed at the annual Vision Festival since 1996. Lamb has been part of Alan Silva's big band project, the Sound Visions Orchestra, and has also been a member of the Cecil Taylor big band. In 2005, Lamb played in the Sublime Communication trio in Berlin and in the Henry Grimes Quartet with Marshall Allen and Hamid Drake at the tenth annual Vision Festival, and he has also toured with the Grimes-led quartet Spaceship on the Highway. Steven Loewy of Allmusic writes that Andrew Lamb is "a serious musician seeking to uplift his soul through art, and, like John Coltrane and his progeny, Lamb's vehicle is the psalm-like expression of his tenor saxophone. The results reflect his quest, testifying to his musical abilities, enormous potential, and depth of character."

# DinoSol

Dinosol Supermercados S.L., trading as DinoSol, is a Spanish supermarket chain in the Canary Islands who is most known for its HiperDino supermarkets.
The current structure of the company dates back to 2012, when a group of Canary shareholders, which mainly consisted of AJA investments and the original founders, bought the company.

## History

In 1978, the Domínguez brothers established the brand HiperDino. In 1996, when the brand consisted of three stores, they sold it to Vista Capital, a venture in which Banco Santander participated. Vista Capital renamed the stores to Superdiplo. Subsequently, Dutch multinational Ahold bought the supermarkets and renamed it back to the HiperDino brand. However, Ahold suffered some serious losses and sold the business to English private equity firm Permira who renamed the wider group to Dinosol SL. In 2011, DinoSol's debt had mounted to more than 400 million euros, after which the company ended up in the hands of an extensive group of banks
n 2012, a group of Canary shareholders, led by José Abraham Domínguez, Andrés Domínguez and Javier Puga, decided to buy DinoSol. In 2012, DinoSol agreed to sell the SuperSol chain to Agile Finance.
After taking control over the group, the Domínguez brothers and Javier Puga resumed the successful strategy from the past: low prices, alongside competitive and promotions focused on local products. Their company policy was focused on reaching an island society that suffered from high unemployment rates.
It didn’t take long before this new approach bore fruit. Predatory pricing paved the way for growth and the group regained its lost market share. One year after the acquisition, DinoSol became a well-performing company that generated more than 1,000 jobs.
In 2015, consultancy firm Stiga awarded Hiperdino a national prize concerning customer satisfaction, based on valuations by supermarket customers.

## Stores and formats

As of 2024, Grupo DinoSol boasts more than 200 locations over the Canary Islands, and employs over 6,000 people. The company includes:
* HiperDino, large supermarkets and hypermarkets with extensive offerings
* SuperDino, relatively small neighborhood supermarkets with less extensive offerings
* HiperDino Express, small supermarkets located in tourist area
* EcoDino10, ecological supermarket
* DinoShop11, stores inside BP gas stations
# Emu Bay Railway 11 class

The Emu Bay Railway 11 class were a class of diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Walkers Limited, Maryborough for the Emu Bay Railway between 1969 and 1971.

## History

In 1968, with EZ Industries and the Mount Lyell Mining & Railway Company to establish a sulphuric acid plant in Burnie, the Emu Bay Railway ordered five diesel-hydraulic locomotives from Walkers Limited to the same design as the Queensland Railways DH class. All were delivered in December 1969. A further two were delivered in March 1971.
All were included in the April 1998 sale of the Emu Bay Railway to the Australian Transport Network. Following the cessation of vacuum braked trains in March 2002, they were withdrawn and sold to Queensland operators. By 2019, six were owned by Cairns Kuranda Rail Services and one by Downer Rail.

# Washington State Park

Washington State Park is a public recreation area covering 2,157 acres (873 ha) in Washington County in the central eastern part of the state of Missouri. It is located on Highway 21 about 14 miles (23 km) northeast of Potosi or 7 miles (11 km) southwest of De Soto on the eastern edge of the Ozarks. The state park is noted for its Native American rock carvings and for its finely crafted stonework from the 1930s.

## Stone carvings

The carvings, or petroglyphs, carved in fixed dolomite rock, are believed to have been made around 1000 to 1600 CE and to give clues to the lives of the prehistoric Native Americans who once inhabited this part of Missouri. It is also believed that the park served as ceremonial grounds for these Middle Mississippi people who were related to the builders of the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois.
   Most of the carvings are of birds, arrows, footprints, turkey tracks, human figures, and various geometric shapes and patterns. The three petroglyph sites in the park are thought to be all that is left of a more extensive site. They make up almost 75 percent of the known petroglyphs in Missouri and contain over 350 symbols.
The petroglyphs were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 as the Washington State Park Petroglyph Archeological Site.

## Stone structures

The park was built during the Great Depression of the 1930s by the African-American stonemasons of the Civilian Conservation Corps known as Company 1743. Their efforts left the park with the historical stone structures that still stand today: hiking shelters, picnic pavilions, and the stones that make up the 1,000 Steps Trail. Fourteen buildings and stone structures are included in the Washington State Park CCC Historic District, a national historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.$^{:445–466}$

## Activities and amenities

Park activities include camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, and swimming in both the Big River and an olympic-sized pool.
# King's Medal of Merit

# Gromov's compactness theorem (geometry)

In the mathematical field of metric geometry, Mikhael Gromov proved a fundamental compactness theorem for sequences of metric spaces. In the special case of Riemannian manifolds, the key assumption of his compactness theorem is automatically satisfied under an assumption on Ricci curvature. These theorems have been widely used in the fields of geometric group theory and Riemannian geometry.

## Metric compactness theorem

The Gromov–Hausdorff distance defines a notion of distance between any two metric spaces, thereby setting up the concept of a sequence of metric spaces which converges to another metric space. This is known as Gromov–Hausdorff convergence. Gromov found a condition on a sequence of compact metric spaces which ensures that a subsequence converges to some metric space relative to the Gromov–Hausdorff distance:
   Let (X$_i$, d$_i$) be a sequence of compact metric spaces with uniformly bounded diameter. Suppose that for every positive number ε there is a natural number N and, for every i, the set X$_i$ can be covered by N metric balls of radius ε. Then the sequence (X$_i$, d$_i$) has a subsequence which converges relative to the Gromov–Hausdorff distance.
The role of this theorem in the theory of Gromov–Hausdorff convergence may be considered as analogous to the role of the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem in the theory of uniform convergence. Gromov first formally introduced it in his 1981 resolution of the Milnor–Wolf conjecture in the field of geometric group theory, where he applied it to define the asymptotic cone of certain metric spaces. These techniques were later extended by Gromov and others, using the theory of ultrafilters.

## Riemannian compactness theorem

Specializing to the setting of geodesically complete Riemannian manifolds with a fixed lower bound on the Ricci curvature, the crucial covering condition in Gromov's metric compactness theorem is automatically satisfied as a corollary of the Bishop–Gromov volume comparison theorem. As such, it follows that:
   Consider a sequence of closed Riemannian manifolds with a uniform lower bound on the Ricci curvature and a uniform upper bound on the diameter. Then there is a subsequence which converges relative to the Gromov–Hausdorff distance.
The limit of a convergent subsequence may be a metric space without any smooth or Riemannian structure. This special case of the metric compactness theorem is significant in the field of Riemannian geometry, as it isolates the purely metric consequences of lower Ricci curvature bounds.
# Belforte, Radicondoli

Belforte is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Radicondoli, province of Siena.
Belforte originated as a castle in the early medieval period, and is mentioned in a document from 1186. In 1221 it is recorded as a fief of the Counts Aldobrandeschi. Following disputes between the Aldobrandeschi and Siena, Belforte submitted to the Republic of Siena on 30 August 1301. The oldest statute of Belforte is dated 1382.
In 1833 the village of Belforte had 635 inhabitants, while at the time of the 2011 census its population was 194.
# Tenement (law)

A tenement (from the Latin tenere to hold), in law, is anything that is held, rather than owned. This usage is a holdover from feudalism, which still forms the basis of property law in many common law jurisdictions, in which the monarch alone owned the allodial title to all the land within his kingdom.
Under feudalism, land itself was never privately "owned" but rather was "held" by a tenant (from Latin teneo "to hold") as a fee, being merely a legal right over land known in modern law as an estate in land. This was held from a superior overlord, (a mesne lord), or from the crown itself in which case the holder was termed a tenant-in-chief, upon some manner of service under one of a variety of feudal land tenures. The thing held is called a tenement, the holder is called a tenant, the manner of his holding is called a tenure, and the superior is called the landlord, or lord of the fee. These forms are still preserved in law, even though feudalism itself is extinct, because all real estate law has developed from them over centuries.
Feudal land tenure existed in many varieties. The sole surviving form in the United States is that species of freehold known as free socage. Here the service to be performed is known and fixed, and not of a base or servile nature; the "lord of the fee" is the State itself, and the service due to this "lord" is payment of the taxes upon the real estate. The major consequences, in the modern world, of this feudal approach, as distinguished from ownership, are, first, the forfeiture of the tenement upon failure to perform the service (that is, non-payment of taxes), and second, the doctrine of eminent domain, whereby the "lord of the fee" might take back the estate, provided he make just compensation. Also existing in a vestigial form is the concept of escheat, under which an estate of a holder without heirs returns to the ownership of the state.
A side effect of this is that government entities do not pay real estate taxes to other government entities since government entities own the land rather than hold the land. Localities that depend on real estate taxes to provide services are often put at a disadvantage when the state or federal government acquires a piece of land. Sometimes, to mollify local public opinion, the state or federal government may volunteer to make payments in lieu of taxes to local governments.

# Puffin Island (County Kerry)

Puffin Island (Irish: Oileán na gCánóg), historically called Inishfearglin, is an uninhabited steep rocky island lying off the coast of the Iveragh Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland.

## Geography

The island is about 1.5 km long and 0.7 km wide, and rises to 213 metres. It is separated from the mainland by Puffin Sound, which is only about 250 metres across. Day visits to the island from Valentia or The Glen Pier can be arranged. It lies off the northern headland of St. Finian's Bay.

## Nature conservation

Puffin Island holds important populations of several seabird species, including Atlantic puffins, Manx shearwaters and European storm-petrels, and was acquired as a nature reserve by the Irish Wildbird Conservancy (now BirdWatch Ireland) in the early 1980s.

## History

The island also has some signs of ancient human habitation, and it has attracted the interest of archaeologists.
