# International Pop Overthrow (album)

International Pop Overthrow is the debut studio album by Material Issue, released on Mercury Records on February 5, 1991. The album was recorded in multiple recording sessions between 1988 and 1991, with the total recording costs reaching only $5,000. Mercury Records only expected the record to sell about 70,000 copies. However, it initially sold about 180,000 copies, with final sales exceeding 300,000. It reached number 86 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album was produced by Jeff Murphy, guitarist/vocalist for the band Shoes, at the Shoes' Short Order Recorder studio, in Zion, Illinois.
On April 5, 2011, the 20th anniversary edition was released, which included early singles and live tracks.
The International Pop Overthrow music festival was named in honor of this album.

Mark Deming of AllMusic wrote, "Anyone who was looking for the future of power pop in 1991 might well have imagined these guys were it, and not without reason -- International Pop Overthrow is smart, hooky, and not afraid to sound edgy or let the amps go into the red." Michael Corcoran of the Chicago Sun-Times stated: "Though power pop (a.k.a. "the skinny-tie era") was the rage in New York and Los Angeles for only a brief time at the start of the '80s, that style of melodic rock has survived in the Midwest for two decades thanks to practitioners such as Cheap Trick, the Raspberries, Shoes and the Romantics. The band next poised to pop till they drop is Chicago's Material Issue, whose major-label debut has just been released by Mercury." Jae-Ha Kim, also of the Chicago Sun-Times, felt that the band's debut "paid delightful homage to girls, cars and power pop chords. At least seven of the cuts on the album were strong enough to be hit singles. Radio loved "Diane" and "Valerie Loves Me" the most."
Mark Deming of Rolling Stone called the album "smart, hooky, and not afraid to sound edgy or let the amps go into the red". Dale Anderson, writing for The Buffalo News, opined that "Material Issue could be the big college radio rave of the spring, thanks to the parade of perky tunes about girls they loved and lost on their new debut album, "International Pop Overthrow." Weaned on Cheap Trick, Shoes and other legends of Midwestern power pop in the late '70s, this Chicago trio lives, eats and breathes three-minute singles."

# Meritorious Conduct Medal

The Meritorious Conduct Medal was a Rhodesian military decoration for brave and gallant conduct.

## Institution

The award was instituted in 1970 by Presidential Warrant, the first awards being made the same year. The last awards were made in December 1979.

## Medal

The medal was a medal whose obverse was identical to the relief portrait of Cecil Rhodes on the Rhodesian General Service Medal but struck in bronze rather than cupro-nickel, with a blank reverse. The ribbon was purple. The medal was impressed in small capitals with the recipient's name on the rim, and was awarded with a case of issue and miniature medal for wear.

## Recipients

A total of 93 awards of the Meritorious Conduct Medal were made, thirteen posthumously.$^{:48–50}$ Notable recipients included
* The city of Umtali (now Mutare).
* The crew members of Air Rhodesia Flight 825.
* A police officer and three NCOs from the Rhodesian SAS killed when the explosive device they were transporting blew up prematurely.
* John M Harvey British South Africa Police
Recipients are entitled to the post-nominal letters M.C.M.

## Zimbabwe

The Meritorious Conduct Medal was abolished in September 1981. Its status as the most junior of the Republic of Zimbabwe's awards for gallantry was taken by the Bronze Cross of Zimbabwe, which is also awarded to civilians and members of the Zimbabwean armed forces and police officers, and has an identical plain purple ribbon.
# Mestranol/hydroxyprogesterone acetate

Mestranol/hydroxyprogesterone acetate (ME/OHPA), sold under the brand name Hormolidin, is a combination medication of mestranol (ME), an estrogen, and hydroxyprogesterone acetate (OHPA), a progestin, which was reportedly used as a sequential combined birth control pill for women in the early 1970s. It was formulated as oral tablets and contained 16 tablets of 80 μg ME, 5 tablets of 80 μg ME and 100 mg OHPA, and 7 placebo tablets (28 tablets in total). The medication was manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Gador in Argentina.
# Iodine monofluoride

Iodine monofluoride is an interhalogen compound of iodine and fluorine with formula IF. It is a chocolate-brown solid that decomposes at 0 °C, disproportionating to elemental iodine and iodine pentafluoride:
    5 IF → 2 I$_2$ + IF$_5$
However, its molecular properties can still be precisely determined by spectroscopy: the iodine-fluorine distance is 190.9 pm and the I−F bond dissociation energy is around 277 kJ mol$^{−1}$. At 298 K, its standard enthalpy change of formation is Δ$_f$H° = −95.4 kJ mol$^{−1}$, and its Gibbs free energy is Δ$_f$G° = −117.6 kJ mol$^{−1}$.
It can be generated, albeit only fleetingly, by the reaction of the elements at −45 °C in CCl$_3$F:
    I$_2$ + F$_2$ → 2 IF
It can also be generated by the reaction of iodine with iodine trifluoride at −78 °C in CCl$_3$F:
    I$_2$ + IF$_3$ → 3 IF
The reaction of iodine with silver(I) fluoride at 0 °C also yields iodine monofluoride:
    I$_2$ + AgF → IF + AgI

## Reactions

Iodine monofluoride is used to produce pure nitrogen triiodide:
    BN + 3 IF → NI$_3$ + BF$_3$

# Introduction to Star Fleet Battles

Introduction to Star Fleet Battles is a supplement published by Task Force Games in 1986 for the science fiction combat game Star Fleet Battles that is inspired by the TV series Star Trek.

## Description

Introduction to Star Fleet Battles is an introductory version of the game intended to help players learn the Star Fleet Battles rules as they play. Through a series of six modules, new players ("cadets") are introduced first to maneuvering a small ship and firing weapons, and then to more complex systems. The cadet is then promoted to lieutenant and if the player can successfully negotiate the final module, "The Tholian Web", the player is deemed ready to participate in the full Star Fleet Battles game.
The supplement includes a 48-page rulebook, nine starship diagrams, a hex map and 54 die-cut counters.

## Publication history

Task Force Games published Star Fleet Battles in 1979, and reviewers quickly noted its extreme complexity. Seven years later, Task Force Games published Introduction to Star Fleet Battles, written by the original game designer Stephen V. Cole, as a means of teaching new players the various layers of complexity, one layer at a time.

## Reception

In the June–July 1986 edition of Adventurer (Issue 2), Stephen Dillon called this "A well planned introduction to SFB of benefit to new players and clubs wishing to taste the excitement of Star Fleet command. Introduction to SFB also serves as an excellent solo instruction module."
In the November 1986 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #83), Phil Frances recommended this for new players, saying, "This product is a handy starter for those who didn't understand its fully-fledged big brother, or simply want to test the waters before splashing out on the system."

This diagram: viewtalkedit :
Mettupalayam railway station (station code: MTP) is an NSG–4 category Indian railway station in Salem railway division of Southern Railway zone. It is a railway station located in Mettupalayam, a suburb of Coimbatore district in the Indian state Tamil Nadu. It is one of the important railway stations located in the Coimbatore District, because the Nilgiri Mountain Railway to the hill station of Ooty starts from here. It is the connection between the metre-gauge Nilgiri Mountain Railway and the broad-gauge main network of Indian Railways. It recently celebrated its 150th anniversary.
The Grand Trunk Express operated from Mettupalayam to Peshawar from 15 October 1929 and was extended to Lahore from 1 March 1930. Later that year, on 1 September 1930, it was changed to New Delhi to Chennai, which remains the case till today. The Tea Garden Express ran in metre gauge between Ooty and Mettupalayam and broad gauge between Mettupalayam and Cochin Harbour Terminus. Post-Indian independence, the Ooty–Mettupalayam trip was cut off, and the train ran as No. 565/566 between Cochin Harbour Terminus and Mettupalayam since the 1970s. Today the Nilgiri Express (also known as the Blue Mountain Express) covers Chennai to Mettupalayam and acts as the link to Ooty. Nilgiri Express used to be the main portion of Bangalore Mail, Island Express, Malabar Express and Mumbai–Coimbatore (through coach bifurcate/amalgamate to Chennai–Mumbai Mail).
The Mettupalayam junction to Ooty passenger train (56136) only departs from Mettupalayam after the arrival of Nilgiri Express (12671) at Mettupalayam.

## Projects and development

It is one of the 73 stations in Tamil Nadu to be named for upgradation under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme of Indian Railways.

## Awards and achievements

In 2019, the station was granted ISO–14001 certification for complying with National Green Tribunal (NGT) directives.

# Intrasporangium oryzae

Intrasporangium oryzae is a species of Gram positive, strictly aerobic bacterium. The species was initially isolated from rice paddy soil. The species was first described in 2007, and its name is derived from Latin oryzae (of rice). It was originally placed in the novel genus Humihabitans, but further research reclassified the species as a member of the existing genus, Intrasporangium. Because Humihabitans was monospecific, with H. oryzae as the only species, the genus is now defunct.
The same soil survey that discovered I. oryzae also discovered the novel genera/species Oryzihumus leptocrescens and Patulibacter minatonensis.
I. oryzae can grow in the 8-40 °C range and in pH 5.0-11.0.
# Intrasporangiaceae

Intrasporangiaceae is an actinomycete family. The family is named after the type genus Intrasporangium. The type species of Intrasporangium (I. calvum) was originally thought to form endospores; however, the mycelium of this strain may bear intercalary vesicles that were originally identified as spores. No members of Intrasporangiaceae are known to form spores.

## Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature and the phylogeny is based on whole-genome sequences.

# Jag vill ha en egen måne

"Jag vill ha en egen måne" (English: I want my own moon) is a song written by Swedish lyricist Kenneth Gärdestad and singer-songwriter Ted Gärdestad. Ted Gärdestad recorded the song, and released it as a single (Polar POS 1155) in April 1972. The song became his breakthrough, charting at Svensktoppen, where it stayed for 14 weeks between 11 June and 10 September 1972, topping the charts. All ABBA members appeared in the studio during the recording; Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agneta Fältskog appear as background singers.
The song has also been recorded by Thorleifs on the 1978 album Kurragömma and Wahlströms låten on 2010 album Vårt älskade 80-tal.
A rock-version was performed by the Gamblers at Dansbandskampen 2009.
