# Cordaitales

Cordaitales are an extinct order of gymnosperms, known from the early Carboniferous to the late Permian. Many Cordaitales had elongated strap-like leaves, resembling some modern-day conifers of the Araucariaceae and Podocarpaceae. They had cone-like reproductive structures reminiscent of those of modern conifers. Some Cordaitales formed large trees that seem to have been particularly abundant on drier ground, in tropical environments. Also, some tall trees but also shrubby and mangrove-like species of Cordaitales seem to have grown in the Carboniferous coal swamps. Cordaitales were also abundant during the Permian. Common genera from the Carboniferous include Mesoxylon and Cordaixylon. Other genera are Noeggerathiopsis and Sumaropsis.
Features of the female cone (megastrobilus) of the members of Cordaitales indicate that the cone scales, possessed by themselves and their descendants, may correspond to short shoots, rather than leaves. This is because the cone consists of these short shoots, emerging from bracts. Among conifers, a leaf of any kind does not emerge from the axil of a bract.$^{:55}$

# Jakob Ayrer

Jakob Ayrer (c. 1543 – March 26, 1605 or in 1625) was a German playwright and author of Fastnachtsspiele (Carnival plays).

## Life

Little is known of Ayrer's living circumstances. He lived as an ironmonger in Nuremberg, probably studying theology and law in Bamberg before returning in 1593 to Nuremberg, where he was Imperial notary and legal prosecutor.
Ayrer was the last significant composer of Fastnachtsspiele and a very prolific author: of his 106 plays, sixty-nine survive. He took his material from Greek mythology, Roman fables and German chapbooks and stories; he also translated plays of Shakespeare. Ayrer died in 1605 in his birth city of Nuremberg. Opus Theatricum, a six-volume selection of his plays, Fastnachtsspiele and farces, appeared in 1618.
As a dramatist, Ayrer is virtually the successor of Hans Sachs, but he came under the influence of the so-called Englische Komodianten, that is, troupes of English actors, who, at the close of the 16th century and during the 17th, repeatedly visited the Continent, bringing with them the repertory of the Elizabethan theatre. From those actors Ayrer learned how to enliven his dramas with sensational incidents and spectacular effects, and from them he borrowed the character of the clown. Influence may have operated in the other direction as well; Comedia von der schönen Sidea (ca. 1600; "Comedy of the Beautiful Sidea") is often cited as the plot model used by William Shakespeare in The Tempest. Ayrer's plays, however, are in spite of his foreign models, hardly more dramatic, in the true sense of the word, than those of Sachs.

## Works

* Von der Erbauung Roms ("The Building of Rome"), 1595
* Von der schönen Melusina ("Fair Melusina"), 1598
* Von dreien bösen Weibern ("Three Bad Wives"), 1598
* Von zweien Brüdern aus Syragusa ("Two Brothers from Syracuse", after Shakespeare)
* Opus Theatricum, 1618 (collection of thirty plays by Ayrer)
# Jump in the River

"Jump in the River" is a song recorded by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor. It originally appeared on the Married to the Mob soundtrack in 1988 and was released as a single the same year. It was also released as a 12" maxi-single that included a remixed version featuring the American performance artist Karen Finley.
A remix of the song was later included on O'Connor's second studio album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990), as well as on the B-side of the 7" single for "Nothing Compares 2 U."

## Composition

A year after O'Connor released her first album, The Lion and the Cobra, she contributed "Jump in the River" to the soundtrack of Jonathan Demme's film Married to the Mob in 1988. Later that year, O'Connor took part in a concert organized by the human rights activist group Refuse & Resist! at the Palladium in New York City. It was there that she met the performance artist Karen Finley, who she invited to participate in the 12" remix of "Jump in the River." Finley contributed a sexually explicit spoken-word section of the song. Village Voice rock critic Robert Christgau wrote that Finley "surfaced as the voice of mad lust on a dance remix of the ravishingly sexual 'Jump in the River.'"

# L'Aiglon

L'Aiglon is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand based on the life of Napoleon II, who was the son of Emperor Napoleon I and his second wife, Empress Marie Louise. The title of the play comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for "eaglet" (a young eagle).
The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the play's premiere on 15 March 1900 at the Théàtre Sarah Bernhardt.
Fashion designer Jacques Doucet designed her famous white costume.
In October of the same year, the play (in an English translation by Louis N. Parker) premiered at New York's Knickerbocker Theatre, with Maude Adams in the title role.
Its first performance in London was at His Majesty's Theatre in 1901, with Bernhardt again playing the leading role. Rostand had written L'Aiglon specifically for Bernhardt, and it became one of her signature roles.
Clemence Dane made an English translation which was broadcast by the BBC on National Radio in 15 November 1936 and regionally the following day. Marius Goring performed the leading role in this production.
Arthur Honegger and Jacques Ibert composed an opera in five acts, also with the title L'Aiglon, to a libretto by Henri Cain, based on Rostand's play. It was first performed at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in 1937.
# Nordic Combat Uniform

The Nordic Combat Uniform (NCU) is the joint military uniform system being introduced into the militaries of the Nordic countries, as part of a NORDEFCO initiative. The uniform will be issued in each nations camouflage pattern.

## History

In 2015, soldiers expressed wishes for a newer and more modular uniform system. Additionally, there was a wish for increased military cooperation between the Nordic countries. For this reason the Nordic militaries began a shared search for a combat uniform. In 2018, the countries each provided a list of requirements to suppliers, wanting customization and ability to work in all climates. The NCU will be in each nations camouflage pattern. In November 2019, uniforms from the four final pre-qualified suppliers were issued to 480 Nordic special forces, soldiers and conscripts for testing. The uniform system will be provided in three configurations; European, desert and jungle where the European configuration is split into two, both a common (intermediate) which goes down to −19 °C (−2 °F) and a so-called "cold add–on" which can go down to −46 °C (−51 °F). The total procurement cost was expected to be €400 million. It was expected that an agreement for the period 2021–2028, would be concluded by the end of 2020. However, by 2021, the tender process was not completed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the global supply chain crisis. On 8 February 2022, it was announced that Norwegian consortium Oskar Pedersen A/S, would be chosen to supply the new uniforms to all Nordic countries, at a total cost of €425 million.
In 2024, Eirik Kristoffersen, the Norwegian Chief of Defence, criticized the NCU, as the different types of camouflage patterns made interchangeability between the Nordics difficult.

# Hämeenlinna railway station

Hämeenlinna railway station (Finnish: Hämeenlinnan rautatieasema, Swedish: Tavastehus järnvägsstation) is located in the town of Hämeenlinna, Finland.
Hämeenlinna is located about halfway between Helsinki and Tampere, and because of this, the station has much pass-through traffic, even though the Hämeenlinna station is not a crossing-point station. The station is served by all passing commuter trains and several passing InterCity and Pendolino trains. The Hämeenlinna station also has an underpass tunnel. The station building has a restaurant.
The Finnish Heritage Agency has classified Hämeenlinna railway station as a nationally significant built cultural environment.

## History

Hämeenlinna railway station was the original terminus of the Finnish Main Line opened in 1862, being one of the oldest railway stations in Finland. The station soon became a significant centre point of traffic due to the water transport connections from the northern parts of the region to Hämeenlinna via the Lake Vanajavesi, as the canals built in Valkeakoski, Lempäälä and Kaivanto were completed in the early 1870's. As the railway line was further expanded northwards to Tampere, the status of Hämeenlinna station as a traffic centre decreased significantly.
The original station building designed by architect Carl Albert Edelfelt was completed in the same year, but was destroyed during the Finnish Civil War in 1918.
The current station building designed by architect Thure Hellström was completed in 1921. Stylewise the building represents Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), with some features of Renaissance and Baroque-influenced Classicism. The northern end of the station was badly damaged in a fire on January 22, 1984.
A new railyard for freight trains was built at the eastern side of the station in 1996. The passenger train railyard was renewed in the late 1990's complete with a new underpass tunnel completed in 1999.

## Departure tracks

There are seven tracks at Hämeenlinna railway station, three of which have a platform for passenger trains.
* Track 1 is used by southbound long-distance trains as well as commuter trains D and R to Riihimäki/Helsinki.
* Track 2 is used by southbound night train services from Lapland to Helsinki.
* Track 3 is used by northbound long-distance trains as well as R trains to Tampere.
