# North Creake

North Creake is a village and civil parish in the north west of the English county of Norfolk. It covers an area of 14.99 km$^2$ (5.79 sq mi) and had a population of 414 in 184 households at the 2001 census, reducing to 386 at the 2011 Census. For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. The parish shares boundaries with the adjacent parishes of Burnham Market, Burnham Thorpe, Holkham, Walsingham, South Creake, Barwick and Stanhoe.
The village lies 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Burnham Market and about 5 miles (8.0 km) from the north Norfolk coast. 1 mile (1.6 km) further south is the village of South Creake.
The village lies on the River Burn, which flows through the centre of the village. 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north of the village along the river lies the ruined Creake Abbey. The village itself has a church, a public house and a post office. Most of the agricultural land surrounding the village, and many of the village houses, today belong to the estate of the Earl Spencer, although his family seat is many miles away in Althorp, Northamptonshire.
St Mary's, the Church of England parish church, is a Grade I listed building.
On 27 April 1944, a de Havilland Mosquito fighter bomber on a night training exercise crashed in the centre of the village, killing the crew of two. On the 60th anniversary of the crash in 2004, a plaque on the approximate location of the crash was unveiled by a Royal Air Force guard of honour and other dignitaries, including relatives and friends of those killed.
The village was struck by an F1/T3 tornado on 23 November 1981, as part of the record-breaking nationwide tornado outbreak on that day.
The derivation of the name "Creake" is apparently from the Celtic word "creic" meaning a rock. South Creake is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Suthcreich".

# March for Science Seattle

The March for Science Seattle (or March for Science–Seattle) was a protest held in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. This local protest was part of the March for Science, a series of rallies and marches in Washington, D.C., and over 600 cities across the world on April 22, 2017 (Earth Day).
Hundreds attended a second March for Science event in Seattle in 2018.

## Local organizers

Miles Greb was among local organizers of the event, which "promoted the use of scientific knowledge and peer review as a basis for public policy, economics, public health and more", according to Seattle University's student publication The Spectator. The Nature Conservancy was a sponsor of the demonstration.

## Demonstration

Thousands of people signed up to attend the event. Protesters gathered at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill and marched to the International Fountain at Seattle Center. Tens of thousands participated in the demonstration. Governor Jay Inslee, congresswoman Suzan DelBene, and Mayor Ed Murray spoke on site.
University of Washington physics student Tyler Valentine was among speakers. Biochemist Edmond H. Fischer was among participants. Groups from the University of Washington's Department of Global Health and Seattle Pacific University's biology department also attended.
The crowd was diverse and many people created homemade signs. Erik Lacitis of the Yakima Herald-Republic wrote: "College students, doctors in their white coats, parents with baby strollers, your gray-haired liberal types all marched... In Seattle, they held up homemade signs: 'Climate change is real.' 'No 'alternative facts' in real science.' 'There is no Planet B.' 'Funding science is patriotic.' 'Mr. President, science gave us Rogaine.'
One protester who "stormed" the stage was removed by police.

## 2018

Another March for Science event was held in Seattle on April 14, 2018. Stacy Smedley and Teresa Swanson were among local organizers. According to The Seattle Times, the 2018 event was more about indigenous rights, national politics, and public education. Demonstrators gathered at Cal Anderson Park, then marched along Pike Street, Fourth Avenue, and Fifth Avenue North to the Seattle Center. Speakers included Pramila Jayapal, Nancy Pelosi, and environmental scientist Marco Hatch. The event's theme was "Science's Silenced Voices". The Nature Conservancy of Washington was a returning sponsor. Hundreds participated.

# Mike Prpich

Mike Prpich (born March 27, 1982) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player of Croatian ancestry. He plays both wing positions and is currently a member of the Kenaston Blizzard who play in the Sask Valley Hockey League.

## Playing career

Born in Kenaston, Saskatchewan, Prpich started his career as a junior for the Penticton Panthers in the BCHL where in the 2000–01 season he played 52 matches scoring 25 goals and 21 assists. Four years of study (2002–2006) at the University of North Dakota was the springboard for his future. Specifically, during this period in the NCAA he played in 160 games with 31 goals and 21 assists culminating with a conference title in his final year in 2006.
After his senior season of collegiate hockey, Prpich made his professional debut at the end of the 2005–06 season in a brief stint with the Iowa Stars of the AHL, playing only two games. However, in the 2006–07 season, as the member of the New Mexico Scorpions, who play in the CHL, he shined and has excelled in 64 duels with 23 goals and 22 assists. AHL and CHL experience opened doors to the highest British EIHL league and the Cardiff Devils with whom he had spent two seasons. In his last season with the Devils he led the team scoring 35 goals and 34 assists in 57 games.
On June 30, 2009, Prpich signed a one-year contract with Croatian team KHL Medveščak in the Austrian Hockey League.

# Shigisan Castle

Shigisan castle (信貴山城, Shigisanjō) was a Japanese castle of the Sengoku period, controlled by the Kizawa and Matsunaga clans. There are little remains of the castle on the present day site, just some moats and earthworks.

## Location

The castle was located atop Mount Shigi, on the border of Japan's Kawachi and Yamato Provinces (today Nara prefecture). The shugo (shogunal governors) and later daimyō of Yamato province ruled the province from Shigisan, and wielded some control over the strategic passes between Yamato and Kawachi.
The location was also significant for the temple of Chōgosonshi-ji, which sits on the mountainside, some distance below the castle. Shigisan is the central mountain of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, and is claimed to be the location where, in 587, Shōtoku Taishi defeated Mononobe no Moriya in the battle of Shigisan.

## History

The castle was originally constructed in 1536 by Kizawa Nagamasa, who commanded it on behalf of the Hatakeyama clan, who held the post of shugo of Yamato province. It was repaired and expanded on in 1559, by Matsunaga Danjo Hisahide, who commanded it on behalf of the Miyoshi clan. It would grow to be roughly 700m from north to south, and 550m from east to west, and included a four-story yagura (tower or turret). In 1562, however, the daimyo of Yamato province moved to Tamonyama Castle.
Shigisan castle fell to members of the Miyoshi clan in 1568, but was recaptured quickly afterwards when the attackers' attention was redirected to the capital by the activities of Oda Nobunaga.
Nobunaga would then besiege the castle in 1577, destroying it and bringing the downfall of Matsunaga Hisahide.

# The Merry Widow (1925 film)

The film is based on Franz Lehár's 1905 operetta of the same name, and was its second film adaptation, the first being a 1918 Hungarian film directed by Michael Curtiz.

## Plot

As described in film magazine reviews, Prince Danilo meets Sally the dancer and, when he proposes marriage, his uncle, King Nikita I of Monteblanco and Queen Milena object because she is a commoner. Sally marries Baron Sadoja, an old wealthy roue who later dies from a stroke. Prince Danilo’s parents now encourage the marriage. A slurring remark is the cause of a duel between the cousins and Danilo is wounded, sacrificing his cousin whom he believes Sally loves. Crown Prince Mirko is assassinated and Danilo becomes heir to the throne. Sally visits Danilo at the hospital and asks him to marry her.

## Production

   “Though Stroheim and Mae Murray hated each other, the performance which he got from her in The Merry Widow was worth everything else she ever did put together.”— Edward Wagenknecht in The Movies in the Age of Innocence (1962).
The film was shot over twelve weeks with a budget of $592,000. Filming was tense as Mae Murray and the film's director, Erich von Stroheim, did not get on well. After production, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer decided it could no longer work with the director after he added sexually explicit scenes and changed the operetta's libretto.

## Reception

Upon its release, the film was both a critical and box office success. Critics praised Murray's dramatic skills while also noting that von Stroheim had "made an actress out of Miss Murray". According to MGM records The Merry Widow took in approximately $1.081 million in theater rentals from the United States and Canada, an additional $852,000 from foreign rentals, and earned a profit of $758,000.

## Other adaptations

The Merry Widow was adapted for the screen in 1934, 1952, 1962, and 1994.
