Absent in the Spring

Absent in the Spring is a novel written by Agatha Christie and first published in the United Kingdom by Collins in August 1944 and in the United States by Farrar & Rinehart later in the same year. It was the third of six novels Christie wrote under the pen name Mary Westmacott.
Explanation of the novel's title
The title is a quotation from William Shakespeare's sonnet 98: "From you have I been absent in the spring,..."
Plot introduction
Stranded between trains, Joan Scudamore finds herself reflecting upon her life, her family, and finally coming to grips with the uncomfortable truths about her life.
Literary significance and reception
The Times Literary Supplement'''s review of 19 August 1944 by Marjorie Grant Cook stated positively, "The writer has succeeded in making this novel told in retrospect, with its many technical difficulties, very readable indeed. She has not made Joan, with her shallow, scrappy mind, sympathetic, and the other characters in the tale, seen through her eyes, lack the charm they had for each other and withheld from her."
J. D. Beresford's review in The Guardian of 25 August 1944 concluded, "It is a very clever and consistently interesting study of a character that not even a desert vision could permanently change."

Iraqi football league system

Iraqi football league system
The Iraqi football league system, also known as the football pyramid, is a series of interconnected leagues for men's association football clubs in Iraq. The system has a hierarchical format with promotion and relegation between leagues at different levels, allowing even the smallest club the theoretical possibility of ultimately rising to the very top of the system. There are 4 individual levels, containing 8 leagues. It is run by the Iraq Football Association (IFA).
History
Up until 1973, leagues in Iraq were played at a regional level. The Central FA League, the Basra League and the Kirkuk League were all founded in 1948, while the Mosul League was founded in 1950. The first nationwide league to be held in the country was in the 1973–74 season when the National First Division was formed, with Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya being crowned champions. The IFA then decided to replace the competition with a new National Clubs League (later known as Iraqi Premier League) which would only be open to clubs and not institute-representative teams.
Since the 2023–24 season, the Iraqi Premier League was officially renamed to Iraq Stars League.
About the system
The system consists of a pyramid of leagues, bound together by the principle of promotion and relegation. A certain number of the most successful clubs in each league can rise to a higher league, whilst those that finish the season at the bottom of their league can find themselves sinking down a level. In addition to sporting performance, promotion is usually contingent on meeting criteria set by the higher league, especially concerning appropriate facilities and finances.
In theory, it is possible for a lowly local amateur club to achieve annual promotions and within a few years rise to the pinnacle of the Iraqi game and become champions of the Stars League (previously known as the Premier League). While this may be unlikely in practice (at the very least, in the short run), there certainly is significant movement within the pyramid.
Structure
At the top is the single division of the Stars League (level 1, which is often referred to as the "top-flight"), which contains 20 clubs, Division One (level 2) which consists of 24 clubs, Division Two (level 3) and Division Three (level 4).
Promotion and relegation rules for All the levels
Stars League (level 1, 20 teams): The bottom two teams are relegated.
Division One (level 2, 24 teams): The top team in each group is automatically promoted, the bottom 4 in each group are relegated.
Division Two (level 3, 126 teams): The top 2 teams in each group automatically promoted.
Division Three (level 4, TBD teams)
The system
Level one in the pyramid, the top division of Iraq football, is the Stars League, the winners of which are regarded as the champions of Iraq and the contenders have access to the Asian premier football competition, AFC Champions League Elite. Level 1 to 4 are operated by the Iraq Football Association.

Lifewide learning

Lifewide learning (LWL) is a teaching strategy and an approach to learning and personal development that involves real contexts and authentic settings. The goal is to address different kinds of learning not covered in a traditional classroom. By including LWL with a traditional classroom, students are better equipped to attain whole person development and to develop lifelong learning skills. It is the focus of education in Hong Kong, and was developed for higher education at the University of Surrey England. Lifewide education is the means by which an institution encourages, supports and recognizes learners' lifewide learning. It is an approach to visualising learning and personal development as a whole of life enterprise.
Lifewide learning adds important detail to the broad pattern of human development we call lifelong learning – all the learning and development one gains as one progresses along the pathway of one's life. Lifewide learning recognizes that most people, no matter what their age or circumstances, simultaneously inhabit a number of different spaces – like work or education, being a member of a family, being involved in clubs or societies, traveling, taking holidays, and looking after their own well-being mentally, physically, and spiritually. So the timeframes of lifelong learning and the spaces of life-wide learning will characteristically intermingle, and who we are and who we are becoming are the consequences of this intermingling.
Most people have the freedom to choose which spaces they want to occupy and how they want to occupy them. In these spaces, they make decisions about what to be involved in, meet and interact with different people, have different sorts of relationships, adopt different roles and identities, and think, behave and communicate in different ways. In these different spaces, they encounter different sorts of challenges and problems, seize, create or miss opportunities, and aspire to live and achieve their ambitions. The promise of lifewide education is that people can more fully appreciate and value their lives for the potential they hold for enabling them to become the people they want and need to become (in other words, their everyday pathway to actualising themselves).

Al-Layth ibn Sa'd

Al-Layth ibn Sa'd
Al-Layth ibn Saʿd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Fahmī al-Qalqashandī was the chief representative, imam, and eponym of the Laythi school of Islamic Jurisprudence. He was regarded as the main representative of an Egyptian tradition of law.
He was born in 713 CE in Qalqashanda, a village in Egypt and so his nisba is Al-Qalqashandī. Despite his Arabic nisba (Al-Fahmi), in his encyclopedic magnum opus entitled "Siyar a`lam al-nubala", the prominent scholar Al-Dhahabi mentioned that his family claimed a Persian origin from Isfahan, and this in turn became a common reference for later writers, maintaining that his Arabic nisba was the result of familiar loyalty to Khalid ibn Thabit ibn Dhain Al-Fahmi.
Despite being among the most famous of jurists at the time, his students did not write down his teachings and spread it like the students of another famous jurist of the time, Malik ibn Anas.
He presided over the first trial of Elias of Heliopolis for apostasy in 779.
According to al-Shafi'i, founder of Shafiʽi school, al-Laythi were even greater jurist than Malik ibn Anas, founder of Maliki Madhhab school and al-Shafi'i own teacher.

Sulak Canyon

Sulak Canyon
The Sulak Canyon is a steep-sided deepest canyon in Europe carved by the Sulak River in Dagestan, Russia. The Sulak Canyon is long, and attains a depth of over a mile. It is 63 meters deeper than the Grand Canyon in the US and 620 meters deeper than the Tara River Canyon in Europe.
Geography
The canyon is the result of erosion which exposes one of the most complete geologic columns on the planet. Within this natural site, sediments of the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Tertiary periods come to the surface, in each of which ancient fossils are found. The Sulak canyon is located in the central part of Dagestan, in the valley of the Sulak river, some 100 km away from Makhachkala.
Flora and fauna
The Sulak canyon, is the largest nesting settlement in the Russian Federation of rare, listed in the Red Data Book, vulture birds such as: griffon vultures, and black vultures.
Plants
Some endemic, rare and poorly studied plant species, such as, horned sainfoin, have survived on the territory of the canyon.

Second Samurai

Second Samurai is a video game released for the Amiga in 1993. It is the sequel to the 1991 game First Samurai. A Mega Drive version was later released in 1994 which features different graphics, sound and level design to the Amiga version.
Gameplay
The game includes prehistoric and futuristic levels as well as feudal Japan as in First Samurai. Contact with enemies or falling off the screen (lives are not lost automatically) subtracts one point from the life bar. In the Mega Drive/Genesis version of the game, the Demon King from the first game taunts the player on a black screen when they lose a life with sayings such as "Give up mortal!" and "Going Down!" until the last life is lost.
Development
Following the success of First Samurai, Mev Dinc was interested in developing 'a sequel to end all sequels'. The concept of having 2 samurai to choose from was established early on. Psygnosis put forward an appealing offer for both the Amiga and Sega Mega Drive versions, to which Vivid Image gladly agreed.
Development for the game was going smoothly, and plans were even in place to release a Mega-CD version alongside the Mega Drive. In 1993 however, Sony acquired Psygnosis as part of their ramp-up for the PlayStation and mandated that existing console projects be cancelled. Vivid Image was able to negotiate a settlement, allowing the release of the Mega Drive version, and a full payout. The Mega-CD version was never released.

Gustavo Teixeira

Gustavo Teixeira
Gustavo Antunes Teixeira (born 26 December 1908 – 1 January 1987) was a Portuguese footballer who played as defender.
Over the course of 4 seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 65 games, spending most of his career at Benfica, winning four major titles.
Career
Born in Vila Real in Trás-os-Montes, Teixeira joined Casa Pia at the age of 10, and was deployed as centre forward; a position he excelled and led him to the national team, debuting on 8 June 1930, in a 1–2 defeat against Belgium in Antwerp. He made a further nine caps for Portugal.
After over a decade at Casa Pia, he was invitated to the celebrations of the 28th anniversary of Benfica, on 28 February 1932, where he signed his transfer to Benfica. Ribeiro dos Reis used him instead as a half-back, on his debut on 13 November 1932 in a home win against Carcavelinhos. In his first year, he helped the club conquer the Campeonato de Lisboa, that was missing for 13 years.
In 1934, Vítor Gonçalves, noticed Teixeira's technical prowess and calmness with the ball and pushed him further back, as a left-sided full-back, and gave him the captain armband, which he would wear for four years in 174 games, taking part in the first three Primeira Liga titles for the club. He retired at 31 on 25 June 1939, in a 3–4 loss for the 1939 Taça de Portugal Final, with 157 official matches and 2 goals.

Stephen J. Stilwell

Stephen J. Stilwell (May 10, 1866 – April 20, 1942) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.
Life
He was born on May 10, 1866, on a farm just on the border line between Mount Vernon and Yonkers, in Westchester County, New York, the son of William J. Stilwell and Mary D. (Archer) Stilwell. He attended the Union Free School in Yonkers, graduated from New York University School of Law, was admitted to the bar, and practiced in Mount Vernon. For some time he owned and edited The Reformer, the Democratic newspaper of Mount Vernon.
Stilwell was a member of the New York State Senate (21st D.) from 1909 to 1913, sitting in the 132nd, 133rd, 134th, 135th and 136th New York State Legislatures. In 1913, Stilwell was accused by George H. Kendall, President of the New York Bank Note Company, of demanding a bribe of $3,500 to pass legislation which would make it a misdemeanor for the New York Stock Exchange to refuse certificates engraved by the New York Bank Note Company. The case was investigated by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, but Stilwell was cleared by a vote of 28 to 21 in the Senate.
The report of the Senate investigation was then forwarded to D.A. of New York County Charles S. Whitman who prosecuted the case in the New York Supreme Court. Stilwell was convicted of bribery, and automatically forfeited his seat in the State Senate on May 24, 1913. He was sentenced by Justice Samuel Seabury to not less than four or more than eight years in prison, and on July 15, 1913, began serving his term in Sing Sing. On February 9, 1914, he was transferred to Great Meadow State Prison in Comstock.
In April 1941, he was arrested on a charge of attempted bribery, and remained incarcerated in the Westchester County Jail. On February 9, 1942, he pleaded guilty, and died on April 20 in Grasslands Hospital in Valhalla, New York, where he was receiving medical treatment while awaiting sentence in custody.

Marta Pérez (2 August 1924 in Havana, Cuba - 19 August 2009 in Miami, Florida) was a Cuban-American mezzo-soprano and the first Cuban woman to sing in Milan's famed La Scala opera house in 1955.
Miss Pérez' artistic talents were recognized early in life and as a little girl she studied singing with Marila Granowska. By the age of 13, she was performing as a soloist with the Havana Philharmonic Orchestra. In the 1940s she began a series of tours with Ernesto Lecuona. Perez was the first to record Gonzalo Roig's zarzuela, "Cecilia Valdés". She sang at the renowned opera house La Scala in Milan, Italy in 1955, in the role of Preciosilla in Verdi's opera La Forza del Destino, sharing the stage with Renata Tebaldi and Giuseppe di Stefano. In 1961, she performed on The Ed Sullivan Show.
