# Adschība (qiyan)

Adschība (fl. 1218), was a qiyan poet and musician, active in Ayyubid Egypt.
She was a member of the Ayyubid harem as the royal slave concubine of Sultan Al-Kamil (r. 1218–1238).
Adschība was described as a beautiful and accomplished singer. Her enslaver, the fourth Ayyubid Sultan al-Kamil Muhammad, was claimed to have been deeply in love with her and often summoned her to his bed. She reportedly attended in his audiences, but hidden behind a curtain as well as openly, and played the harp and the frame drum.
In Classical Arabic literature, she is included in Masālik al-abṣār fī mamālik al-amṣār by Ibn Fadlallah al-Umari (1301–1349), in the main work describing famous slave singers of history.

# Yellow-throated bulbul

The yellow-throated bulbul (Pycnonotus xantholaemus) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family of passerine birds. The species is endemic to southern peninsular India. They are found on scrub habitats on steep, rocky hills many of which are threatened by granite quarrying. It is confusable only with the white-browed bulbul with which its range overlaps but is distinctively yellow on the head and throat apart from the yellow vent. The calls of this species are very similar to that of the white-browed bulbul.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The yellow-throated bulbul was originally described by Thomas Jerdon in the genus Brachypus (a synonym for Pycnonotus), and later re-classified it in the genus Ixos. It has since been re-classified to the genus Pycnonotus. The alternate name yellow-eared bulbul should not be confused with the species of that name, Pycnonotus penicillatus. The name 'yellow-throated bulbul' is also used as an alternate name for Falkenstein's greenbul.

## Description

This uncrested species of bulbul is olive grey above with a yellow throat, undertail coverts and tail tips. The head is plain while the breast and belly have a grey wash. The closest resembling species is the white-browed bulbul but this has a supercilium and lacks the yellow throat. Males and females are similar in plumage.

## Distribution and habitat

The habitat of the species is rocky, scrub-covered hills mostly in the Eastern Ghats and central peninsular India but also in some places in the Western Ghats. The distribution is highly fragmented and populations are very local, making hilly habitats a very special conservation concern. Many of these hill forests are threatened by granite quarrying, forest fires and grazing. It has vanished from many sites where it was earlier known.
Some well-known locations include the Nandi Hills, Horsley Hills, Gingee, Yercaud and the Biligirirangans. The species is also seen in some parts of the Western Ghats including the Anamalais. The northern limit is believed to be in the Nallamala range, but it is suspected that the species may extend in range into the northern Eastern Ghats of Orissa.

## Behaviour and ecology

This bird is usually shy and hidden within scrub and is usually detected by its sudden cackling outbursts of calls, which are similar to those of the white-browed bulbul. They feed on insects and the berries of various scrub plant species including Lantana camara, Flueggea leucopyrus, Toddalia asiatica, Erythroxylon monogynum, Solanum indicum, Santalum album, Ziziphus, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus nervosa, Ficus montana, Canthium dicoccum and Phyllanthus reticulata.
During hot afternoons and in the dry-season they visit pools of water both to drink and bathe.
The breeding season is June to August. The nest is built in the fork of a small tree. Two eggs are laid which hatch in 20 days with the chicks fledging 13 days later.
# Pittsburgh Metal

General Motors Pittsburgh, also known as Pittsburgh Metal, was a former automotive factory held by General Motors Corporation. The 800,000 sq ft (74,000 m$^2$) plant operated from 1949 until its closure in 2008 and subsequent demolition. The plant was located at 1451 Lebanon School Road in the Pittsburgh suburb of West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, across from United States Steel's Mon Valley Works.

## History
### Beginnings

The property for construction of the plant was purchased in 1948, and first opened in 1949 as Fisher Body Pittsburgh, serving as a stamping plant for new car parts. At its peak, the plant employed 3500 workers ten years after its opening.
Over time, GM moved stamping operations to other plants, with the majority of Pittsburgh Metal's duties supplying doors, hoods and trunk lids for the Chevrolet Cobalt, built at GM's Lordstown Assembly.

### Closure

The company announced in November 2005 that it would close the West Mifflin plant in 2007 as part of its bankruptcy restructuring reported to result in the elimination of 30,000 jobs across GM's 12 plants in the United States and Canada. The closing came as a surprise to many workers, as GM had recently moved stamping tools from another plant in Lansing, Michigan for use at Pittsburgh Metal.
However, the plant would not close until 2008 while company executives and union officials tried to work together to formulate a plan to sell the factory to another owner that would keep operations consistent.
The efforts were unsuccessful, and many workers were offered work at other plants, buyouts, or retirement. On December 12, 2008, the plant ceased production. A small contingency of workers remained until mid-January to assist with physically closing the facility.

### Aftermath

The property changed hands on April 1, 2011, when it was sold to a developer in St. Louis, Missouri. The plant facility was razed later that year.
The year before, Motors Liquidation Company, set up a $773 million trust fund dedicated to hazardous waste cleanup at former GM facilities in 14 states. $3.3 million of that sum was dedicated to cleanup of the West Mifflin plant, as it was the lone GM plant in Pennsylvania.

# 1960 Chatham Cup

The 1960 Chatham Cup was the 33rd annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.
The competition was run on a regional basis, with regional associations each holding separate qualifying rounds. Teams taking part in the final rounds are known to have included North Shore United, Hamilton Technical Old Boys, Kahukura (Bay of Plenty), Eastern Union (Gisborne), Moturoa AFC (New Plymouth), Napier Rovers, Wanganui Athletic, Kiwi United (Manawatu), Masterton Athletic (Wairarapa), Northern Wellington, Nelson Athletic (Tasman), Technical Old Boys (Christchurch), Northern (Dunedin), and Invercargill Thistle (Southland)

## The 1960 final

North Shore United won the cup for a second time, having previously been champions in 1952. The aggregate of eight goals in the final equalled the record set in the 1940 final, previously equalled in 1955 and 1958. The final was the perfect way for North Shore to celebrate their 75th anniversary. From a 1-1 half-time deadlock, NSU quickly raced to a 3–1 lead. Tech reduced the deficit before North Shore added two more goals. Technical completed the scoring with the sixth goal of the half, but were left two goals adrift of the winners. North Shore United's goals were scored by Tony Lowndes (2), John Ryan, Tom Paterson, and Ken Armstrong, while Ted Charlton, John Campbell, and Arthur Verham scored for Tech.
# 1961 Chatham Cup

The 1961 Chatham Cup was the 34th annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.
The competition was run on a regional basis, with regional associations each holding separate qualifying rounds.
Other teams known to have taken part in the final rounds included Otangarei United (Whangarei), Hamilton Technical Old Boys, Kahukura (Rotorua), Eastern Union (Gisborne), Moturoa (New Plymouth), Napier Rovers, Wanganui United, Kiwi United (Manawatu), Nelson Thistle and Timaru Thistle.

## The 1961 final

Northern won the cup for a second time, having previously been champions in 1959; North Shore United made their third consecutive finals appearance, having won the cup in 1960. The match was thus both a match between the two previous winners and also a rematch of the 1959 final, with the same team winning on both occasions. Seven Northern players and six North Shore players played in both finals, these six latter players - among them England and New Zealand international Ken Armstrong - also having played in the winning side of 1960. The final was a free flowing affair, but no goals came until the half hour mark, when Northern took the lead through George Little. The score remained 1-0 until two minutes from the end of the match, when Bruce Campbell doubled Northern's lead.

## Results
### Fourth round

* both Timaru Thistle (South Canterbury qualifiers) and Nelson Thistle (one of three Nelson clubs) effectively had byes to the next round
