Villa went on to play nearly every national team game during the next three years.  He also was a member of the U.S. Olympic Soccer Team which qualified for the 1980 Summer Olympics.  However, due to President Carter's boycott of the games, held in the Soviet Union, Villa did not play in the Olympics

Grzegorz Kurec (, , 5 May 1868 in Shipka, Belarus - 6 March 1942 in Berlin, Germany)  was a Polish entrepreneur, architect, and builder of Belarusian origins. He established one of the largest paper factories of the time, Grigiškės, and was the founder of the city of Grigiškės. His son, Włodzimierz, was a pilot and rally driver.

Background 
Kurec was born in 1868 into a Belarusian farming family in Shipka village. As a child, he developed an interest in mechanics and worked as an apprentice and metalworker in several factories in Vilnius. He gained valuable experience at the Putilov Company and later through private orders.

Career 
In the autumn of 1925, he opened Grigiškės, which had a production capacity of 5 tons of paper per year. However, the factory was nationalized in 1940 when the Soviets took over. The value of all of Kurec's property was estimated to be 8 million litas.

Season of Lights... Laura Nyro in Concert is the first live album by American singer-songwriter Laura Nyro.

Overview
Columbia Records issued the album in the summer of 1977, taking the songs from various locations on Nyro's 1976 tour in support of her most recent studio album, Smile. Although the album had no strict producer, Nyro is credited as the "musical director." Dale Ashby was engineer and mixer, assisted by Don Pulse and Ken Robertson.

The album documents Nyro's first full-band tour, with her playing guitar, piano, and other keyboards, backed by a group of musicians including John Tropea on guitar and Richard Davis on bass. The atmosphere of the album is laidback, smooth, and jazz-inspired, musically similar to the explorations on Smile. Nyro re-arranged many songs to fit her new band's sound, such as slowing down "Sweet Blindness" or making "And When I Die" funkier.

The album was originally intended to be a double-LP set consisting of 16 songs, and this version was sent to some outlets as a promotional copy and as a Japanese import. Instead, Columbia released a single-LP set of 10 songs. Reissue imprint Iconoclassic Records released a remastered version of Season of Lights, including all sixteen songs plus a bonus solo version of "Timer," on CD in August 2008.

The album peaked at #137 on the Billboard 200 chart, then known as the Pop Albums chart. It was Nyro's penultimate US chart entry after a run of seven successive charting albums stretching back to 1968's Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, before her final chart entry in 1984.

Playbrush is an oral care device for children that is designed to encourage them to brush their teeth regularly and properly via gamification. It is developed by an Austro-British company with the same name. The device controls a variety of different games with the intent to encourage children to spend a full two minutes brushing their teeth.

Devices 
There are two types of Playbrush devices:

 A dongle that fits onto the end of a manual toothbrush such as the Smart
 Integrated into an electric toothbrush such as the Smart sonic and the Smart One X

History

The technology was developed in 2014 and 2015 by Austrian entrepreneur Paul Varga. Varga observed the behaviour of his three-year-old godson during bedtime rituals while the child was entertained by video clips on their tablet. Together with childhood friend Matthäus Ittner, former fellow student Tolulope Ogunsina, and with help from the University College London, Varga began development of Playbrush in summer 2014. The device launched in November of the same year with mobile apps for Android and iOS in Austria, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In 2018 the electric toothbrush Playbrush Smart Sonic was released.

Technology

Playbrush's technology consists of hardware and software.

The hardware component of Playbrush is an Internet of Things technology that can be integrated into either a manual toothbrush dongle or an electric toothbrush. Equipped with motion sensors, it is able to detect where users are brushing and provide real-time feedback on their brushing behaviour. The captured motion data is then transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy to the user's smartphone or tablet.

Playbrush's app is designed to translate the brushing data into various interactive games that children can control through their brushing movements. As of summer 2018, there were eleven games available for download on Google Play and the Apple App Store in addition to a brushing coach. The app also includes a detailed statistics section, which provides historical feedback for parents and dentists to track progress.

Awards

The technology and company has received various awards:
 UCL Bright Ideas Award 2014
 TNW Europe Top 3 Startup - 2015
 Best Technological Innovative Contribution Award (Gamification World Awards 2015)
 Health Media Award 2016
 Pitch@Palace Finalist 2016
 Forbes Austria Start-up Academy 2016
 Bits & Pretzels Pro 7 Special Award (250.000 TV Budget Price) 2017

The Terror () is the name given to the five-month reign of terror that the Bulgarian population of the town of Karlovo suffered at the hands of the Ottoman authorities from 22 July 1877 to 28 December 1877, during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878).

The name refers both to the massacre of 288 Bulgarian civilians by regular Ottoman army and Circassian paramilitaries (bashi-bazouk) on  and to the capture and imprisonment of more than 500 town notables in the subsequent months, many of whom were hanged or exiled to Asia Minor.

Events

Conduct of the Russian army
On two occasions (] and ), Russian advance reconnaissance units "liberated" the town but then immediately withdrew. This led to the dispatch of regular Ottoman army of approx. 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 irregular bashi-bazouk from Plovdiv. Bulgarian historian Plamen Mitev has heavily criticised this demonstrative behaviour of the Russian army, which he holds partially accountable for the wave of Ottoman violence against the civilian Christian Bulgarian population in a number of Sub-Balkan Bulgarian towns and villages in the summer of 1877, including Karlovo, Sopot, Kalofer and Stara Zagora.

Massacre

On , regular Ottoman army soldiers entered the town and started plundering the Bulgarian districts of it, but, seeing that there were no Russian forces, they eventually pulled out. On , their place was taken by Circassian bashi-bazouk, which in addition to looting and plundering, also massacred a number of civilians. The number of confirmed casualties stands at 288 people.

Police and judicial terror
In the course of August 1877, the Ottoman authorities organised several round-ups of eminent Bulgarian citizens of Karlovo. A total of 108 people were detained on 2 August, followed by 104 people on 15 August, 156 people on 19 August and by 113 citizens of Karlovo and 37 citizens of nearby villages on 25 August. All of these were sent to prison in Plovdiv, where they were put on trial on fabricated charges for collusion with the Russian forces.

Ultimately, 110 were pronounced guilty and hanged, while 31 were sentenced to exile in Asia Minor (Adana, etc.), where 11 of them eventually died. The rest of them are presumed to have been set free. However, a number of other sources talk about "the 864 widows of Karlovo", among other things, in connection with their letter of protest to the Eastern Rumelia Organic Statute Preparation Committee, where they argue against the deployment of Ottoman garrisons across the autonomous Bulgarian Province of Eastern Rumelia. Ultimately, Ottoman garrisons were not established.

Diamonds Are Forever, So Are Morals is an auto-biography of Govind Dholakia who is a Surat, Gujarat based entrepreneur, Founder and the Chairman of  Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. The book is written by an engineer-scientist Arun Tiwari and educationalist Kamlesh Yagnik. The book was released by Penguin Random House India on 24 March 2022.

Excerpts from the book 
"My livelihood has revolved around diamonds—from polishing roughs to creating facilities to cut and polish them and trading them as gems. I treated diamonds as my God physically—pure, unblemished, transparent and forever. From the hundreds of kilometres depth in the netherworld to the roughs and finally as glittering gems, as fireballs of trapped lights, by their multiple facets inside the pure carbon lattice structure, mounted on crowns and jewellery, diamonds never get altered,  like the human soul, that remains untouched by any human act.

I took my chances and the odds favoured me. Good things kept happening and the chances I took turned out in my favour.  Many things worked out as I planned, naturally and by destiny. Much might have been different had I been different. However,  it was as if it had to be like that only. I have no judgment about my life and myself. There is nothing I am quite sure about,  except that more than  I was living my life, life was living through me. God is clear and only man’s mind is clouded. I kept attending to the little responsibilities that came my way and God never failed me. You are nothing  but you can do anything."

Praises for the book 
It  is a  pleasure  to  learn  about the publication of your autobiography titled,

‘Diamonds   are  Forever, so are Morals’. The endeavor will surely serve as a source  of inspiration for  the  coming  generations. From  the  reminiscences and incidents  of childhood, early education, to picking up life skills on the personal and  professional   front,  nuggets  of  inspiring  information are compiled in the book.  The simile between morals and diamonds in the title of the book itself sets the tone. The emphasis  on morals  is particularly relevant to the modern times, especially for our youth.  The reader gets swayed with the autobiography’s flow of thoughts. May  the  publication receive the  love and  affection  of the  readers and  motivate  them  to contribute for the larger good. I wish the publication all success.

Narendra Modi, Honourable Prime Minister  of India

Reception
The Hindu Business Line wrote in a review "The life story of diamond baron, Govindbhai Dholakia, 73, gives an inspiring insight about a common man’s triumph in realising the dreams."

The Asian Age wrote in a review "After reading the biography, one is left marvelling at the obvious wisdom of this singularly successful individual, who spawned a sprawling enterprise and an equally large extended family comprising about 1,500 members.

The Outlook India wrote in a review "The autobiography treads a fine balance between Dholakia’s spiritual self and his work karma and will certainly intrigue some young get rich quick entrepreneurs to flip through it."
