The 2006 Swale Borough Council election took place on 4 May 2006 to elect members of Swale Borough Council in Kent, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.

After the election, the composition of the council was:
Conservative 28
Labour 10
Liberal Democrats 8
Kent Campaign Against Increasing Council Tax 1

Election result
The Conservatives gained three seats after winning 11 of the 16 seats contested. They took two seats from the Liberal Democrats in Grove and Minster Cliffs wards, while also defeating a Labour councillor in Queenborough and Halfway by 17 votes. This took the Conservatives to 28 seats on the council, compared to 10 for Labour and 8 for the Liberal Democrats.

The Kent Campaign Against Increasing Council Tax failed to win any seats after standing in 9 of the 16 wards contested, coming closest in Sheppey Central where they finished second with 540 votes, compared to 636 for the Conservative councillor John Morris. This meant the former Conservative councillor Chris Boden remained the only councillor for the Kent Campaign Against Increasing Council Tax after the election.

Plectranthus verticillatus (syn. Plectranthus nummularius), Swedish ivy, Swedish begonia or whorled plectranthus is a plant in the family Lamiaceae (Labiatae), genus Plectranthus. Despite its common name, it is not close to the ivy family of the genus Hedera.

Description
The plant has aromatic glossy, green, round leaves, which show a deep purple color in the center sometimes and tend to trail, reaching a height of between 10 and 30 cm and extends around 60 cm. This deep purple can also be found on the plant stems and on the underside of leaves. The leaves, which are widely serrated, are fleshy and rounded between 64 and 90 mm, with purple and hairy undersides with reddish sessile glands.

The upright racemes appear white, pale violet or pale pink and can sprout sporadically throughout the year (but more typically in spring and late autumn), which form verticillasters of 2-4 flowers and 2–3 mm bracts. The fruits are 1 mm nuts, brown in colour and wrinkled.

The name "Swedish ivy" is deceptive: the plant is not thigmotropic (meaning it does not cling to walls with the roots when it grows), is not native to Sweden, and is not closely related to the genus of ivy (Hedera). Some variegated, silvery plants called Swedish Ivy grown in pots and hanging baskets are Plectranthus oertendahlii from coastal river gorges of KwaZulu-Natal.

Distribution
Plectranthus verticillatus is native to southern Africa where it occurs in the Cape Provinces, KwaZulu-Natal, Eswatini, the Northern Provinces and southern Mozambique. It is found naturalized in El Salvador, Honduras, the Leeward Islands, the Venezuela Antilles, the Windward Islands, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Hawaii as well as south-east Queensland and coastal areas of New South Wales in Australia.

Use as ornamental plant
Plectranthus verticillatus is a robust plant doing well in indirect sunlight, mostly cultivated as hanging houseplant. In frost-free areas, it is also found as groundcover in gardens or sprouting down walls.

It likes to stay moist and it also responds well to pruning. It can easily be rooted with cuttings and its vulnerability is low; but a weak plant can be infested with spider mites.

A notable specimen of Plectranthus verticillatus can be found above the mantel in the President of the United States' Oval Office.  It was a gift to President John F. Kennedy in 1961, and can be seen in photographs taken in the office during every administration since.  Interns, aides, and other white house workers are often granted clippings of the famous plant which they grow and further distribute to friends and family.

In statistics, a semiparametric model is a statistical model that has parametric and nonparametric components.

A statistical model is a parameterized family of distributions:  indexed by a parameter .  

 A parametric model is a model in which the indexing parameter  is a vector in -dimensional Euclidean space, for some nonnegative integer . Thus,  is finite-dimensional, and .
 With a nonparametric model, the set of possible values of the parameter  is a subset of some space , which is not necessarily finite-dimensional. For example, we might consider the set of all distributions with mean 0.  Such spaces are vector spaces with topological structure, but may not be finite-dimensional as vector spaces.  Thus,  for some possibly infinite-dimensional space .
 With a semiparametric model, the parameter has both a finite-dimensional component and an infinite-dimensional component (often a real-valued function defined on the real line).  Thus, , where  is an infinite-dimensional space.

It may appear at first that semiparametric models include nonparametric models, since they have an infinite-dimensional as well as a finite-dimensional component.  However, a semiparametric model is considered to be "smaller" than a completely nonparametric model because we are often interested only in the finite-dimensional component of .  That is, the infinite-dimensional component is regarded as a nuisance parameter.  In nonparametric models, by contrast, the primary interest is in estimating the infinite-dimensional parameter.  Thus the estimation task is statistically harder in nonparametric models.

These models often use smoothing or kernels.

Example
A well-known example of a semiparametric model is the Cox proportional hazards model. If we are interested in studying the time  to an event such as death due to cancer or failure of a light bulb, the Cox model specifies the following distribution function for :

where  is the covariate vector, and  and  are unknown parameters.  .  Here  is finite-dimensional and is of interest;  is an unknown non-negative function of time (known as the baseline hazard function) and is often a nuisance parameter.  The set of possible candidates for  is infinite-dimensional.

Kimkhwab (Kim-Khwab, kamkhāb, ḳamkhwāb, ,, ) is an ancient Indian brocade art of weaving ornate cloth with gold, silver, and silk yarns. Kinkhwab is a silk damasked cloth with an art of zar-baft (making cloth of gold), The weave produces beautiful floral designs that appear embroidered on the surface of the fabric. it was also known as puspapata or cloth with woven flowers.

Kimkhwab is a fabric of silk with leaves and branches woven in it "Kamkwabs, or kimkhwabs (Kincob), are also known as zar-baft (gold-woven), and mushajjar (having patterns)."—Yusuf Ali The mushajjar is also mentioned in Ain-i-Akbari.

Name 
“Kimkhwab” is a Persian word that means a little dream.

Hiranya means cloth of gold, as mentioned in Vedas (c. 1500 BC). And in It is called puspapata during Gupta empire (4th–6th century AD).

Etymology 
kimkhwāb derived from Pers. kam-khwāb, 'less sleep,' because such cloth is rough and prevents sleep! "The ordinary derivation of the word supposes that a man could not even dream of it who had not seen it (kam, 'little,' khwāb, 'dream')".

Platts and the Madras Gloss. take it from kam, 'little,' khwāb, 'nap.'

Texture 
The art has a flavor of Arab-Persian culture in it. The fabric was woven with tapestry weave, Kimkhwab was nearly thick because of its metallic yarns and patterns, but some fine qualities were also there, especially for wealthy people. The most of the patterns were floral, nature inspired such as plants such as the poppy, and pine tree, etc.

Manufacturing 
Kimkhwab work of Varanasi, Surat was famous in the Mughal Empire from 1556 to 1707. Two more centers, Aurangabad and Paithan, were also noted for their production. The value was priced with contents of gold, silver, or silk and motifs.

The Schenkenberg is a hill in the 19th district of Vienna, Döbling. It is 345 metres tall.

Geography 
The Schenkenberg  lies in Obersievering and represents the south-eastern extension of the Pfaffenberg. To the north, the Reisenbergbach separates the Schenkenberg from the Reisenberg; to the south, the Arbesbach divides it from the Hackenberg. The Schenkenberg is part of a north-eastern chain of foothills belonging to the eastern Alps. It is composed of flysch containing quartz, limestone, marl, and other conglomerates.

History 
The first documentary reference to the Schenkenberg dates from 1329 and dubs it in dem Schenkenberge. The name Schenkenberg is probably a reference to the Mundschenk family, which owned land in the area. The Kuenringer, who also owned property in this area, were called the Oberste Schenken.

Today, the Schenkenberg is surrounded by numerous vineyards.

Owenbeg () is a village and townland in County Sligo, Ireland. It is situated on the N59 national highway section between Ballina, County Mayo, and Sligo Town, near the junction of the road with R297. The name is an anglicisation of the Irish-language words abhainn beag, or "little river", after the river on which it is situated.

The namesake river of the village shares its name with, among others, the Owenbeg Rivers in County Londonderry and County Kerry.

Gwilym Arifor Prichard (né Pritchard; 4 March 1931 – 7 June 2015) was a Welsh landscape painter.

Early life
Born in the village of Llanystumdwy, near Criccieth, Gwynedd, he studied at Bangor Normal College (1951-3) before moving on to Birmingham College of Art, before becoming a teacher in Anglesey.  He married fellow artist Claudia Williams in 1953, and altered the spelling of his surname when he discovered that there was another painter of the same name. Their son, Ceri Pritchard, is a painter.

Style
Noted for his "dramatic and colourful" depictions of "dense, craggy, often formidable landscapes" with "a three-dimensional quality", Prichard's paintings "managed to display his joy in the richness and beauty of his native land".  He started to become successful during the 1960s, and in 1970 he was  elected to the Royal Cambrian Academy.

Professional life
After leaving paid employment in the early 1970s, he became a full-time painter.  In the early 1980s the couple began travelling through Europe, living for periods in Skiathos, Greece and Rochefort-en-Terre, Brittany, before settling in Pembrokeshire in 1999.  Prichard was awarded the silver medal by the Société Académique des Arts-Sciences-Lettres de Paris in 1995, and was an Honorary Fellow of the University of Wales.  In later years he was regarded as the senior living Welsh landscape painter.  A major exhibition of his work was held in Cardiff in 2013, and a monograph detailing his work, A Lifetime's Gazing, was published the same year.

Death
Prichard died at his home in Tenby June 7, 2015.

Scottish Premier League

The 2004–05 Scottish Premier League season saw Rangers win the title after a last day win over Hibernian as Celtic were beaten by two late Motherwell goals from Scott McDonald, a win would have been enough for Celtic to retain their title regardless of Rangers' result. Dundee, also on the last day of the season, were relegated to the Scottish First Division after a draw with Livingston. Rangers and Celtic both qualified for the UEFA Champions League while Hibernian, in manager Tony Mowbray's first season in charge, went into the UEFA Cup. Inverness Caledonian Thistle, in their first season in the top flight, finished in 8th place.

Excursion to Tindari (Italian: La gita a Tindari) is a 2000 novel by Andrea Camilleri, translated into English in 2005 by Stephen Sartarelli.

It is the fifth novel in the internationally popular Inspector Montalbano series. In 2006 it was shortlisted for the CWA Duncan Lawrie International Dagger for best translated crime novel of the year.

Plot summary
The story takes place between Vigàta and picturesque site of Tindari, a promontory of historical and archaeological beauty. Montalbano is investigating the mysterious bond that  unites a couple and an unrelated man in the same violent death. Thanks to his unique professional insight, and perhaps even more to his feelings as a sensitive man, Montalbano successfully concludes the investigation, moving inbetween the boundaries set by the world of tradition and that of modernity. In his fifties, examining his life and a future that seems to be saturated with senseless technology and hopeless inhumanity, with corruption and globalisation rendering everything shapeless, Montalbano feels out of place and lonely.

Adaptation
It was first adapted for television by RAI with Luca Zingaretti in the TV series Inspector Montalbano. The episode was aired on 9 May 2001.

Dualite is a very rare and complex mineral of the eudialyte group, its complexity being expressed in its formula . The formula is simplified as it does not show the presence of cyclic silicate groups.
The name of the mineral comes from its dual nature: zircono- and titanosilicate at once. Dualite has two modules in its structure: alluaivite one and eudialyte one. After alluaivite and labyrinthite it stands for third representative of the eudialyte group with essential titanium.

Occurrence and association
Dualite was found in peralkaline pegmatoid rock at Mt Alluaiv, Lovozero massif, Kola Peninsula Russia. It associates with aegirine, alkaline amphibole, cancrinite, eudialyte, K-Na feldspar, lamprophyllite, lomonosovite, lovozerite, nepheline, sodalite, sphalerite, villiaumite, and vuonnemite.

Notes on chemistry
Dualite admixtures not mentioned in the formula are especially that of niobium, with lesser amount of aluminium, barium, potassium, neodymium and lanthanum. Dualite is chemically similar to labyrinthite and rastsvetaevite.

Notes on crystal structure
Dualite has doubled c value when compared to ordinary eudialyte. Its structural framework has 24 layers.
