# Mark Lasky

Mark Lasky (1954 – July 31, 1983 in New York City) was an American cartoonist known for having succeeded Ernie Bushmiller on Nancy.
Lasky first worked on Nancy as Bushmiller's editor, and was named the strip's new writer and artist after Bushmiller's death in 1982. He had previously worked on other comic strips, including Mell Lazarus's Miss Peach and Momma. After less than a year, however, Lasky died of cancer; there was no gap in Nancy publication, as Lasky had prepared enough strips to run for two more months, during which publishers were able to arrange for Jerry Scott to succeed Lasky.
In his honor, United Media and Parsons The New School for Design launched the Mark Lasky Memorial Internship in 1984.

# Vame language

Vame or Pelasla is an Afroasiatic language spoken in northern Cameroon.

## Dialects

Dialects are Dəmwa (Dume?), Hurza, Mayo-Plata (Pəlasla, Gwendele), Mbərem (Vame-Mbreme), and Ndreme (Vame). Pelasla is the name preferred by ALCAM (2012), since Mayo-Plata (Pelasla) is the main market town.
The Pelasla inhabit the same massif as the Wuzlam, whose customs they have adopted but not their language. Administrative censuses include them as part of the "Ouldeme" people (in the canton of Mayo-Ouldémé, arrondissement of Tokombéré, department of Mayo-Sava, Far North Region).
The name Vame-Mbreme should be avoided, since "Vame" is a Wandala term, and includes Ndreme and Mbreme.
The Démwa, Ndreme and Mbérem live in the southern part of Mora-Massif canton (arrondissement of Mora, department of Mayo-Sava, Far North Region), overlooking the Mayo-Plata depression. The Démwa are located to the north, towards the top of the massif, and the Ndreme and Mbérem to the east, in the mountain ranges overlooking the Mayo-Sava plain. The Hurza traditionally lived in the Hurza massif, isolated in the plain between Mayo-Sava and Mayo-Ouldémé and overlooking the market of Mémé (canton of Mémé, arrondissement of Mora). There are 8,500 speakers total, who have now descended to the surrounding plain and are mixed with other ethnic groups.

## Writing system

Vame alphabet :
| a | b | ɓ | d | ɗ | dz | j | e | ə | f | g | gw | gh | ghw | h | hw | i | k | kw | l | m | mb | n | nd | ny |
| nz | nj | ŋ | ŋw | ŋg | ŋgw | p | r | s | sh | sl | t | ts | c | u | v | w | y | z | zh | zl |
Vame is a tonal language, but the tones are not marked.

# Mario Tiberini

Mario Tiberini (8 September 1826 – 16 October 1880) was an Italian tenor who sang leading roles in the opera houses of Europe and the Americas in a career spanning 25 years. Known for his advanced singing technique and dramatic ability, he sang the role of Alvaro in the premiere of the revised (and now standard) version of Verdi's La forza del destino and created several roles in operas by lesser-known composers, including the title role in Faccio's Amleto.

## Life and career

Tiberini was born in San Lorenzo in Campo in Italy's Marche region. After study in Rome with Domenico Lucilla and in Naples with Emanuele de Roxas, he made his stage debut in 1851 as Idreno in Rossini's Semiramide at Rome's Teatro Argentina. He performed in a few provincial theatres in Italy until 1854 when he toured North and South America with Italian opera companies. He also gave solo concerts in New York and Boston launched by the opera impresario Bernard Ullman who billed Tiberini as a descendant of the Roman Emperor Tiberius.
After his return to Europe in 1858, Tiberini was engaged as primo tenore at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. There he met and fell in love with the soprano Angiolina Ortolani who was singing the title role in Linda di Chamounix. They married soon after and for the rest of their careers, appeared together in many operas. By 1875, Tiberini's voice began showing signs of decline, and shortly afterwards he also began showing symptoms of mental illness. He spent his final days in a sanatorium in Reggio Emilia where he died at the age of 54. An inscription on a lithograph in the Biblioteca Trivulziana [it] in Milan states that he died believing he was Manrico, the protagonist of Il trovatore. However, according to Denise Gallo writing in The Cambridge Verdi Encyclopedia, there is no mention of this delusion in the records of the asylum, and it may well be a theatrical legend.
Tiberini was buried in the Cimitero Monumentale di Milano. The funerary sculpture on his grave is by Pietro Fumeo (1831–1898) and depicts a broken column entwined with ivy. The inscription lists his greatest roles: Edgardo, Arturo, Corradino, Raul, Lohengrin, and Alvaro. In 1880, four months after his death, the Teatro Trionfo in San Lorenzo in Campo was renamed the Teatro Mario Tiberini [Commons] in his honour as was the street on which it stands.

Born in Tijuana, Thomas began working for the Padres as their play-by-play announcer in 1969, alongside color commentator Gustavo López Moreno. Other than the 1970 season, he called Padres games until his retirement in 1997. Additionally, he also worked games for the Aguilas de Mexicali of the Mexican League in the offseason and called the Caribbean Series in 1986.

# Vasaknai Manor

Vasaknai Manor is a former residential manor. It is located 6 kilometres (4 mi) from Antalieptė and 7 kilometres (4 mi) from Dusetos, in the East coast of Vasaknai Lake.
In 1505 the manor was bought by the Radvilos family, at that time one of the richest in Europe. Later, it was bought by the Pliateriai family. The family became actively involved in the uprising of 1831 (Lithuania had then been annexed by Russia). This resulted in the confiscation of all their property, including the manor, by the czarist government.
The manor was falling into decay until Count Jonas Mykolas Tiskevicius acquired it. The Tiskeviciai family were Lithuania's largest landowners in the 19th century. They owned the Manor until the beginning of the First World War. After Lithuania was occupied and integrated into the Soviet Union, the manor rotted away to its foundation.
In 2003, the manor was acquired by its current owners, who, with financial support from the European Union Structural Funds, have brought it back to life. Today the manor property consists of a barn (the building that has been rebuilt), servant house (a brewery today with additional rooms), stabling, the ruins of the original manor and a park, which has been declared a national heritage site.
Today, the Manor of Vasaknos is a recreational site for weddings, anniversaries, conferences, and other events. The property consists of a hotel that sleeps up to 65 persons, a restaurant and a conference hall that sits up to 120 people, a cigar and poker room, a pool table, and an outdoor terrace. There is also a lakeside sauna and a brewery where Vasaknu beer is produced.

# Vans Kennedy

Vans Kennedy (1784–1846) was a Scottish major-general of the British Army, an East India Company official, and a Sanskrit and Persian scholar.

## Life

He was born at Pinmore in the parish of Ayr, Scotland. His father was Robert Kennedy of Pinmore, and his mother, Robina, was the daughter of John Vans of Barnbarroch, Wigtownshire, who, on marrying his cousin, assumed the name of Agnew. Robert Kennedy was ruined by the failure of the Ayr bank, and had to sell Pinmore and move to Edinburgh, where he died in 1790. Kennedy was the youngest son; one of his sisters was writer Grace Kennedy. He was educated at Edinburgh, Berkhamsted, and at Monmouth. He returned to Edinburgh at the age of 14, obtained a cadetship, and sailed for Bombay (Mumbai) in 1800.
Shortly after his arrival Kennedy was employed with his corps, the 1st battalion of the 2nd Grenadiers, in an attack against the Malabar district, where he received a wound in his neck from which he suffered all his life. In 1807, he became Persian interpreter to the Peshwa's subsidiary force at Sirur, then commanded by Colonel William Wallace (died 1809). While at Sirur, Kennedy knew Sir Barry Close and Sir James Mackintosh.
In 1817, Kennedy was appointed judge-advocate-general to the Bombay army. Mountstuart Elphinstone, who admired him as a scholar, gave him the appointment of Marāthā and Gujarāti translator of the regulations of government, but the post was abolished a few months after Elphinstone's retirement. He held the office of judge-advocate-general until 1835, when he was removed by Sir John Keane. After that, he was appointed oriental translator to the government, and he held this office for the rest of his life.
Kennedy died unmarried in Bombay on 29 December 1846, and was buried in the European cemetery at Back-Bay.

## Works

Kennedy was studious, collected manuscripts and employed munshi teachers. In 1817, he contributed a paper on Persian literature to the Literary Society of Bombay; he also contributed several papers to the Bombay branch of the Royal Asiatic Society and was President of the branch from 1831 to 1835.
In 1824, Kennedy published at Bombay a Maratha dictionary. In London, he published Researches into the Origin and Affinity of the Principal Languages of Asia and Europe (1828), and in 1831 he followed this up with Researches into the Nature and Affinity of Ancient and Hindu Mythology. In the first work, he remarked on the Arabic words in the Shāhnāma. Kennedy also wrote five letters on the Purānas, and engaged in controversy with Horace Hayman Wilson and Graves Champney Haughton. In 1832, he published a work on military law, of which a second edition appeared in 1847.

# Valetudo (moon)

Valetudo /væləˈtjuːdoʊ/, also known as Jupiter LXII and originally known as S/2016 J 2, is an irregular moon of Jupiter. It was discovered by Scott S. Sheppard and his team in data acquired by the 6.5-m Magellan-Baade telescope of the Las Campanas Observatory in 2016, but was not announced until 17 July 2018, via a Minor Planet Electronic Circular from the Minor Planet Center, which also reported the discovery of nine other of Jupiter's moons. Besides data from Las Campanas, the original announcement also referred to data acquired through the 8.1-m Gemini North telescope of the Mauna Kea Observatories as well as the 4.0-m reflector of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory.

## Characteristics

Valetudo has a diameter of about 1 km (0.6 mi) and orbits Jupiter at a distance of about 19 million kilometres (12 million miles). Its orbital inclination is 34 degrees, and its orbital eccentricity is 0.222. It has a prograde orbit which takes almost a year and a half to complete, but it crosses paths with several other moons that have retrograde orbits and may in the future collide with them.

## Name

The moon was provisionally designated as S/2016 J 2 until it received its name in 2018. Sheppard proposed the name Valetudo, after the Roman goddess of health and hygiene (a Latin translation of Greek Hygieia 'Health') and a great-granddaughter of the god Jupiter. The name also alluded to Sheppard's girlfriend, whom he joked about being cleanly. The name conforms with the naming conventions for Jupiter moons set out by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), according to which a name ending in -o indicates a high inclination. The name was approved by the IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature on 3 October 2018.
