# Grant Park Symphony Orchestra

The Grant Park Symphony Orchestra or simply the Grant Park Orchestra is a publicly sponsored symphony orchestra that provides free performances in the Grant Park Music Festival during the summer months in Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois. Its sister organization is the Grant Park Chorus; the orchestra and chorus hold both joint appearances and separate performances.

## History

The orchestra was founded in 1944 and the chorus in 1962. In 1944, the orchestra was formed under the direction of Walter L. Larsen and Chicago Symphony Orchestra manager George Kuyper. Rudolph Ganz conducted the first concerts. In 1978, when the Petrillo Music Shell was relocated, the Orchestra became part of a tradition of Independence Day Eve concerts accompanied by fireworks and attended by well over 100,000 spectators. Their rendition of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture marked the culmination of the event and was choreographed to be synchronous with howitzer blasts and a crescendo of fireworks. Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne wanted to put an end to the large Independence Day Eve concert in order to reduce costs and differentiate herself from her predecessors, but was convinced not to by Grant Park Music Festival concert manager Steven Ovitsky. One year, Byrne celebrated the event with Muhammad Ali at her side.
In 2000, the Festival reached an agreement with Cedille Records to record the Grant Park Orchestra. It produced six CDs during the decade:
* American Works for Organ and Orchestra (with organist David Schrader), released June 18, 2002
* Robert Kurka: Symphony No. 2; Julius Caesar; Music for Orchestra; Serenade for Small Orchestra (Grammy Award-nominated), released January 1, 2004
* Portraits (with violinist Jennifer Koh), released May 30, 2006
* American Orchestral Works, released June 27, 2006
* Royal Mezzo (with mezzo-soprano Jennifer Larmore), released June 10, 2008
* Symphony in Waves: Music Of Aaron Jay Kernis, released August 12, 2008
At the end of the Grant Park Music Festival season in August, the Orchestra and Carlos Kalmar presented Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adams' On the Transmigration of Souls, which was written at the request of the New York Philharmonic to honor the victims of the September 11 attacks. Adams won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for that particular work.
# No desearás al vecino del quinto

No desearás al vecino del quinto (Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Fifth Floor Neighbor, released in Italy as Due ragazzi da marciapiede) is a 1970 Spanish-Italian sex comedy film directed by Tito Fernández and starring Alfredo Landa, Jean Sorel, and Ira von Fürstenberg. A massive box office hit in Spain, the film became a linchpin for the mega-successful and profitable formula of Spanish sex comedies.

## Plot

In Toledo, a provincial town, Andreu, a handsome gynecologist, opens his practice without any success, as he is too attractive for the husbands and boyfriends of his patients not to be jealous of him. While Dr. Andreu fails miserably, the dressmaker Antón, owner of a boutique and with a reputation of being effeminate due to his manners and his little dog, makes the husbands feel confident in him, letting their wives shop in his boutique.
Dr. Andreu goes to Madrid to attend a gynecology conference and, dragged by his colleagues, decides to go to a cabaret. There, the doctor is frightened to see how Antón, his neighbor from the fifth floor, without a wig and displaying all his hidden masculinity, is having a great time between two beautiful women. When discovered, Antón confesses to Andreu that he pretends to be homosexual so as not to have problems with the husbands of his clients. Later he takes him to his apartment where, through a telescope, they flirt with two beautiful hostesses from the apartment across the street. Shortly afterwards they return to Toledo. There everything is gossip and provokes the same comment: what dirty friendship unites the gynecologist with the sensitive dressmaker?

## Release and reception

Stewart King and Jeff Browitt consider the film to be the "most representative of a highly idiosyncratic comedy genre that flourished in Spanish cinema in the last years of the Franco regime".
César Santos Fontenla [es] declared the film "one of the most aesthetically void [...] and morally repulsive [...] films [...] ever produced.
Alberto Mira [es] dennounced the film to be "worse than homophobic", "oligophrenic, machista".

# Upstream (software development)

In software development, when software has been forked or uses a chain of libraries/dependencies, upstream refers to an issue that occurs in software related to the chain. It is the direction that is toward the original authors or maintainers of software. It is usually used in the context of a version, a bug, or a patch.
Upstream development allows other distributions to benefit from it when they pick up the future release or merge recent (or all) upstream patches. Likewise, the original authors (maintaining upstream) can benefit from contributions that originate from custom distributions, if their users send patches upstream.
The term also pertains to bugs; responsibility for a bug is said to lie upstream when it is not caused through the distribution's porting, non-upstream modification or integration efforts.

## Examples

* A patch sent upstream is offered to the original authors or maintainers of the software. If accepted, the authors or maintainers will include the patch in their software, either immediately or in a future release. If rejected, the person who submitted the patch will have to maintain his or her own distribution of the author's software.
* Upstream repository or source code distribution version, which can either be a version-tagged release for which the source code has specifically been packaged, a specific commit, or master (jargon for latest commit). Where custom distributions (such as forks) may have missed out on bugfixes and improvements (maturing of the project tied to the original authors, upstream) as a result of not merging (all) upstream patches. In such cases, the custom distribution may even have been adapted to suit the specific needs and requirements of those using or maintaining it. This is also often seen with dependencies (vendor packages), where the taker just settles with a base version once and tends to stick with it, over time accumulating so many (arbitrary) modifications or non-standard uses in their environment that merging the latest upstream patches into their custom distribution won't be possible without major additional work for patch and feature compatibility, and avoiding duplicate patches of bugs that they resolved by themselves (and in their own way) while upstream also has a patch for it. A lot of custom distribution users would still cherry-pick and merge critical upstream patches (such as security vulnerability related).

# Freshworks

Freshworks Inc. is a cloud-based software-as-a-service company, founded in 2010 in Chennai, India. The company provides cloud-based tools for customer relationship management (CRM), IT service management (ITSM), and e-commerce marketing.
On September 22, 2021, Freshworks became the first Indian SaaS company to be listed on Nasdaq. In its initial public offering, Freshworks raised $1.03 billion following earlier funding rounds from venture capital firms such as Accel and Google's venture capital fund, CapitalG.

## History

Freshworks was founded in 2010 by former Zoho employees Girish Mathrubootham and Shan Krishnasamy in Chennai, India, as Freshdesk. The company moved their headquarters to San Mateo, California, in 2018. The company focuses on developing cloud-based customer service software and has undergone multiple rounds of funding from investors such as Accel, Tiger Global Management, and Sequoia Capital.
During its development, Freshworks acquired three other companies, 1CLICK.io, Konotor, and Frilp, in 2015. In 2016, the company launched its second product, Freshsales, a customer relationship management (CRM) software.
In 2017, Freshdesk officially changed its name to Freshworks Inc. This change was part of their strategy to become a multi-product company and avoid limiting their brand to just helpdesk solutions. In 2018, the company achieved annual recurring revenue of over $100 million and launched a product suite called Freshworks 360. In 2020 Zoho accused Freshworks of stealing Zoho's intellectual property, and the lawsuit was settled in 2021.

# Rafiqul Hassan Khan

Rafiqul Hassan Khan (1958 – 23 September 1981) was a Bangladeshi army officer who was executed for his alleged involvement in the assassination of president Ziaur Rahman.

## Career
### Early life and Bangladesh Liberation War

Raifqul Hasan Khan was born in 1958 in Meherpur of Kushtia district. He was a student at Jhenaidah Cadet College when the Bangladesh Liberation War began in 1971. Aged 13, he participated in the war, alongside his father, Mohammad Hashem Ali Khan. Rafiqul and his father stayed at a camp in Nadia, West Bengal.
Rafiqul joined the Bangladesh Army on 25 July 1977 and was commissioned on 18 July 1978, being assigned to the 6 East Bengal Regiment.

### Assassination of Ziaur Rahman

On 29 May 1981, Lt. Colonel Shah Mohammad Fazle Hossain called Lieutenant Rafiqul to his officer, where he asked Rafiqul, "Will you go anywhere that I go?". Rafiqul replied, "If you order me, sir".
At 2:30 am on 30 May 1981, the conspirators organised three teams. The first two teams were to attack the Circuit House, where Zia was staying, and the third team was to shoot anyone trying to escape. Rafiqul was in the first strike-team, along with Lt. Colonel Fazle, Lt. Colonel Mehboob, Major Khalid, Captain Jamil Haque, Captain Abdus Sattar. On the way to the Circuit House, Lieutenant Rafiqul asked Lt. Colonel Fazle, "Are you going to kill the president?". Fazle replied, "No, we will only get him".
After the assassination, the acting president Abdus Sattar announced that those who crossed the Shuvapur Bridge before 12 pm on 31 May 1981 would be pardoned. Later the Chief of Army Staff, General Hussain Muhammad Ershad, extended the amnesty by another 18 hours. While the amnesty was in force, Rafiq surrendered at the provisional headquarters of 44 Infantry Brigade in Feni.

## Death

Rafiqul was hanged on 23 September 1981, at the age of 23, in Jessore Prison.
In his final letter to his friend Zia (not to be confused with Ziaur Rahman), he wrote
   When I received my "execution order" on 11th August (1981) the only thing that came to my mind was "Alhamdullilah". I am innocent in my mind. I've accepted this as a victim of circumstances. You probably know also I loved Zia. Since the 11th of August I'm waiting for my death, anytime. I am firmly convinced that I have come to this death cell, which nobody ever thought of in their wildest nightmares. Certainly all this is Allah's desire. Where I was planning to meet you and now I am here. Let the yearning for everything disappear. Call Auntie on 382744 and give her my greetings. For the time being there can be no reunion. Only Allah knows when we shall meet, again. Get married and lead a holy life. Wishing you all types of happiness, affection and greetings.
   I, Lt. Rafiqul Hasan Khan

The Battle of Montjuïc took place on 26 January 1641 during the Reapers' War. A Spanish force under Pedro Fajardo launched an attack on the Catalan army led by Francesc de Tamarit, with French cavalry support. The Spanish force had recently massacred hundreds of rebels who had tried to surrender at Cambrils.
The Catalan rebels had taken up position on the heights of Montjuïc which dominated the city of Barcelona. The Spanish launched several concerted attempts to capture Montjuïc Castle, but were continually repulsed. Finally a large force of Catalan rebels counter-attacked from the direction of Barcelona. Large numbers of Spanish troops were killed and the remainder had to withdraw to Tarragona along the coast.
Amongst those killed at the battle was John O'Neill, the exiled Earl of Tyrone, who was serving with an Irish regiment in the Spanish army.
