# Harry Faulkner-Brown

Harry Faulkner-Brown (4 December 1920 – 10 February 2008) was a British architect known for his work on the Newcastle Metro.

## Biography

Faulkner-Brown began his architectural studies at King's College, Newcastle and worked as a studio assistant during this time.
In the Second World War, Faulkner-Brown served with the Royal Engineers, involved in the construction of bridges, pontoons, and causeways. He subsequently trained with the Durham Light Infantry and participated as a paratrooper in Operation Market Garden in 1944. His wartime efforts, particularly at Oosterbeek, earned him the Military Cross. By 1945, he and his squadron took part in the disarmament of the German Army in Norway.
After the war, Faulkner-Brown completed his architectural studies and relocated to Canada for 12 years, where he designed several libraries, including the National Library of Canada in Ottawa. He returned to Newcastle in 1962 and co-founded Williamson, Faulkner-Brown and Partners in 1963. The firm was responsible for projects such as the Jesmond Library and the Newcastle Metro design, which was inaugurated in 1981, as well as the Manchester Velodrome and the Manchester Aquatics Centre.
His "ten commandments" for library design became reference points in the field, emphasizing aspects such as adaptability and security. This framework was considered by various global institutions when designing their libraries. In 1992, Faulkner-Brown published The role of architecture and design in a security strategy as a chapter in the book Security and Crime Prevention in Libraries.
In 1982, Faulkner-Brown was awarded an OBE for his contributions to architecture and social services. He authored A Sapper at Arnhem.
# Le Invasioni Barbariche in Italia

Le Invasioni Barbariche in Italia is Professor Pasquale Villari's popular account of the barbarian invasions of the Roman Empire from the Antonines to the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 A.D. as Holy Roman Emperor. The book was first published in 1901 by Ulrico Hoepli in Milan.
The book, with 3 maps and about 500 pages, was intended to be easy to read and appealing to the general reader of Italian. Hoepli published the second, third, and fourth editions in 1905, 1920 and 1928. In the book, Villari's main focus is on the Teutonic invasions of the 3rd through 6th centuries A.D.
In 1902 Fisher Unvwin published a 2-volume translation (The Barbarian Invasions of Italy) by Linda Villari, the wife of Pasquale Villari.
   Madame Villari's translation is verbally as accurate as might have been expected; but somehow it lacks the attractiveness of the original.
   The figures of the chief actors in this strife of centuries — Alaric, Attila, Genseric, Theodoric, Justinian, Belisarius, Alboin — are well and forcibly drawn by Professor Villari.
# Ponhele ya France

Ponhele Andrew Mbidi ya France (8 January 1948 in Epuku, Ohangwena Region - 8 February 2010 in Windhoek) was a Namibian politician and trade unionist. A longtime member of SWAPO, ya France was elected into the National Assembly of Namibia from 2000 to 2005. He was head of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation from 2005 to 2008.

## Early life and exile

Ya France attended primary school at Okatope and Onekwaya and secondary school at Odibo. His years at secondary school were interrupted by several periods of contract labour work in Oranjemund, experiences that shaped him politically. In 1974 he decided to go into exile to join the liberation movement.
He received military training in Zambia and in December 1974 was sent to Angola to fight on the Northern Front. In 1976 he went to Leninist Komsomol Higher School in the Soviet Union to take up political studies for one year. After his return to Angola he worked as radio announcer for the liberation station Voice of Namibia in Luanda in 1977 and 1978. At the start of the 1980s he secured a scholarship and took up political science and philosophy at the Karl Marx University in East Germany. He graduated in 1985 with a Master's degree.

## Return to Namibia

In the late 1980s ya France worked in Angola in different management positions in SWAPO and the Pan African Youth Movement. Shortly before Namibian independence in March 1990 he returned from exile. He helped establish the new Ministry of Labour but in 1993 took over the presidency of the National Union of Namibian Workers (NUNW), Namibia's largest labour union. He stayed in that position until becoming a member of the National Assembly in 2000.
In 2004 he was not re-elected to parliament, having been at place 71 on the party list for the 72 seat body. He took over the position of chairman of the board of directors of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation in 2005. In 2008 he was fired at the initiative of the Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Joel Kaapanda. Ya France was member of SWAPO's Central Committee and special advisor to the Minister of Veterans’ Affairs from its inception to his death.
Ponhele ya France was known for his opposition against worker's exploitation, and for his strong criticism of Namibian land reform, which in his opinion went far too slow. He advocated against the agreed "Willing buyer, willing seller" policy or market reform measures adopted by the SWAPO government, both as president of NUNW and as member of Parliament.
Ya France was married with five children. He died from cancer in February 2010 in Windhoek.

# Corso Italia (Genoa)

44°23′29″N 8°58′03″E﻿ / ﻿44.391321°N 8.967383°E﻿ / 44.391321; 8.967383Corso Italia is the main promenade of Genoa, Italy. It is one of the main roads of the neighbourhood of Albaro, east of the city centre. About 2.5 kilometres long, the promenade connects the quartieri (neighbourhoods) of Foce and Boccadasse.

## History

Before the urbanization of the eastern neighbourhoods of Genoa, only narrow roads and paths crossed the hills and the cliffs where today Corso Italia runs. The promenade was built after the First World War, as result of the ambitious development plan of the whole neighbourhood of Albaro, approved in 1914. During the late 1980s and the early 1990s it went through a complete restyling, which included new sidewalks and street furnitures.

## Today

The promenade, a favourite place in the city for strolling and jogging, it's very popular for its private beaches, restaurants, bars, swimming pools and sport facilities, crowded by Genoeses all year round. The most notable landmarks and points of interest along Corso Italia are: the Punta Vagno lighthouse (installed in 1931), the San Giuliano Abbey (built in 1282), the fortress of San Giuliano (one of the sixteen fortresses of the Walls of Genoa), the Nuovo Lido of Albaro (a famous beach resort where, in the 50s, the catwalk for the selection of Miss Italia was located and at this location Sophia Loren was appointed as Miss Lido), the fishing village of Boccadasse and the church of Sant'Antonio.

## Transport

Corso Italia can be reached from the city centre by public transport, with bus line 31 departing from Brignole railway station or, alternatively with bus line 42 departing from Piazza De Ferrari.

# Hepatic microvascular dysplasia

Hepatic microvascular dysplasia (HMD or MVD) or portal atresia is a disorder where mixing of venous blood and arterial blood in the liver occurs at the microscopic level. It occurs most commonly in certain dog breeds such as the Cairn and Yorkshire terriers although any dog breed may be at risk.
This disease may also be found in cats.
HMD is sometimes misdiagnosed as Portosystemic vascular anomaly (PSVA) or a "Liver Shunt" (portosystemic shunt). HMD can be diagnosed with an MRI, using a tracing dye in the subject's blood, and observing the flow of blood through the subject's liver and surrounding areas (stomach, intestine) for anomalies. It can also be diagnosed using a bile-acid level test; or more accurately, a "fasting-blood ammonia levels" test. Symptoms include stunted growth in the first 6–9 months, vomiting, seizures, and hydro-encephalitic episodes (from ammonia concentrating in the blood). HMD is usually treated non-surgically with antibiotics (metronidazole) and stool-softeners (lactulose).

St John the Baptist's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Rimavská Sobota, Slovakia.
The church, dedicated to John the Baptist (Ján Krstiteľ), was first built in the 11th century and dominated the medieval square of the town. The original building, along with the rest of the town, was destroyed in the catastrophic fire of 1506, and rebuilt.
This second church building was mostly demolished in the late 18th century and replaced between 1774 and 1790 by a single-aisled church in Neo-Classical style, with some late Baroque elements.
The three-storied tower, with a Baroque "lantern" top set in the volute-gabled west front, survives from the previous building.

# Advance provisioning allowance

Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is an advance payment required to be made to fund estimated boarding costs of the charter price used to cover the costs of yacht preparation, requested supplies, port, mooring and other legal charges and fees, diesel and fuel, communications, crew gratuities, extras and depends on guest particular request for services, itinerary, food, beverages etc.
In case APA is not entirely used at the end of the cruise / sail, the remaining part is returned to the person chartering a yacht. In case the spending exceeds the APA, guests can be asked to pay the additional part.
# Advance pricing agreement

An advance pricing agreement (APA) is an ahead-of-time agreement between a taxpayer and a tax authority on an appropriate transfer pricing methodology (TPM) for a set of transactions at issue over a fixed period of time (called "Covered Transactions").
Most APAs involve U.S. taxpayers and the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), but APAs are also made outside the United States.
Bilateral and multilateral APAs APAs are generally bi- or multilateral—i.e. they also include agreements between the taxpayer and one or more foreign tax administrations under the authority of the mutual agreement procedure (MAP) specified in income tax treaties. The taxpayer benefits from such agreements since they are assured that income associated with covered transactions is not subject to double taxation by the IRS and the relevant foreign tax authorities. It is IRS policy to "encourage" taxpayers to seek bilateral or multilateral APAs where competent-authority provisions exist.
Unilateral APAs It is possible, however, that a taxpayer may negotiate a unilateral APA involving only the taxpayer and the IRS. In this case, the two parties negotiate an appropriate TPM for U.S. tax purposes only. Should the taxpayer be involved in a dispute with a foreign tax administration regarding the covered transactions, they may seek relief by requesting that the U.S. competent authority initiate a mutual agreement proceeding. This assumes, of course, that there is an applicable income tax treaty in force with the foreign country.
The APA Program Each APA is handled by an APA team. One of the APA Program's designated team leaders is responsible for assembling the team, and it will generally consist of an economist, an international examiner, a LMSB field counsel, and—in bi- or multilateral cases—a U.S. competent-authority analyst tasked with leading discussions with treaty partners. Other team members may include an LMSB International Technical Advisor, LMSB exam personnel, or an Appeals Officer.
# Portato

Portato (; Italian past participle of portare, "to carry"), also mezzo-staccato, French notes portées, in music denotes a smooth, pulsing articulation and is often notated by adding dots under slur markings.
Portato is also known as articulated legato.

## Description

Portato is a bowing technique for stringed instruments, in which successive notes are gently re-articulated while being joined under a single continuing bow stroke. It achieves a kind of pulsation or undulation, rather than separating the notes. It has been notated in various ways. One early 19th-century writer, Pierre Baillot (L’art du violon, Paris, 1834), gives two alternatives: a wavy line, and dots under a slur. Later in the century a third method became common: placing "legato" dashes (tenuto) under a slur. The notation with dots under slurs is ambiguous, because it is also used for very different bowings, including staccato and flying spiccato. Currently, portato is sometimes indicated in words, by "mezzo-staccato" or "non-legato"; or can be shown by three graphic forms:
* a slur that encompasses a phrase of staccato notes (the most common), or
* a tenuto above a staccato mark (very often), or
* a slur that encompasses a phrase of tenuto notes (less common).
Portato is defined by some authorities as "the same as portamento".

# America: Land of the Freeks

America: Land of the Freeks is a 2018 pseudo-biopic mondo mockumentary film written and directed by Ulli Lommel. The film stars Lommel alongside Tanner King Barklow, Nola Roeper, and Gil Kofman. The film premiered at the 68th Berlin Film Festival February 6, 2018.

## Plot

Lommel travels across the United States to document Donald Trump’s new America. He is both shocked and amused by the country's gross individualism, while at the same time feels he is also a part of the "craziness." As someone who experienced the changes at first hand, he sets out with a small band of unconventional characters to experience and expose what he feels to be the crazy, the extreme and also the endearing aspects of the country.

## Premiere

The film was premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2018 in the Berlinale Special Program.
Variety Magazine published a review of America: Land of the FreeKS in which Owen Gleiberman wrote, "The late cult Euro hipster Ulli Lommel attempts to diagnose the "insanity" of America in the Trump era, but his gonzo satire just adds to the noise." Lommel, in the article's soundbite, sums up the subject of his movie by saying, “This whole insanity was like a disease affecting everyone.” Gleiberman writes, "Maybe so, but “Land of the Freeks,” in the screw-loose didactic way it diagnoses the noise, is just one more example of it."

## Awards

America: Land of the FreeKS won an Award of Recognition in Reality Programming from the Indie Fest Film Awards in February 2019. The film also won an Award of Excellence: Content and Message Delivery in the Depth of Field International Film Festival in 2019.

# Populus × canescens

Populus × canescens, the grey poplar, is a hybrid between Populus alba (white poplar) and P. tremula (common aspen). It is intermediate between its parents, with a thin grey downy coating on the leaves, which are much less deeply lobed than the leaves of P. alba. It is a very vigorous tree with marked hybrid vigour, reaching 40 metres (130 feet) tall and with a trunk diameter over 1.5 m (5 ft) – much larger than either of its parents. Most trees in cultivation are male, but female trees occur naturally and some of these are also propagated.

## Taxonomy

In 1789 William Aiton described the grey poplar as a variety of Populus alba, P. alba var. canescens. In 1804, James Edward Smith raised it to a full species, P. canescens. He described differences between the leaves of the two taxa: P. alba has lobed leaves with snow-white ("niveus") undersides, whereas P. canescens has wavy-edged leaves with hoary ("incanus") undersides. Later authors sometimes noted the possibility that the grey poplar was a hybrid. It is now considered to be a hybrid between P. alba and P. tremula, so the scientific name is written with the hybrid symbol.
