Madam X is an 1889 portrait painting by Halil Pasha of either his wife, Aliye Hanım, or a Parisian woman. 

It is a portrait of a brown-clad woman sitting in front of a dark navy blue background, hands clasped in her lap. The woman's body (turned to her right), is turned to the left in the painting, with her face facing the viewer. Her face is white, her hair brown, and her eyes dark blue. Madam X's gaze is the most impressive element of the work. Oil paints and pastels were used on cardboard to form this work.

The subject of the painting is unknown, but it is thought to be the painter's wife, Aliye Hanım, or a Parisian woman. The painter, Halil Pasha, participated in the Paris National Exhibition, held for the 100th Anniversary of the French Revolution in 1889 with this work, and received a bronze medal. At an auction held on June 1, 2008, this work was bought for $206,612.

The painting is currently held at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum.

Jean-Baptiste Wicar (22 January 1762 – 27 February 1834) was a French Neoclassical painter and art collector.

Life
The son of a carpenter, Wicar was born in Lille. He studied drawing at the free school in Lille before further honing his talents in the studio of David. The drawings Wicar created of Tableaux, statues, bas-reliefs et camées de la Galerie de Florence et du palais Pitti (Paintings, statues, bas-reliefs and cameos in the Gallery of Florence and the Pitti Palace) were published in Paris in 4 volumes at the Lacombe publishing house from 1789 to 1807.

Wicar headed the commission set up to loot artworks from the Austrian Netherlands to enrich museums in France. An initial convoy left Antwerp on 11 August 1794, notably with paintings by Rubens, for the Louvre. Abbeys and castles were systematically emptied of their contents, furniture and works of art. Wicar was also a member of the commission des sciences et des arts on the Italian campaign, in the entourage of Bonaparte. This commission was charged with seizing artworks that could enrich French national museum collections. He finally permanently settled in Rome in 1800 and became a portraitist of European renown.

On his death in Rome in 1834, Wicar left the major collection of 1,300 drawings he had accumulated over his lifetime to the Société des Sciences, de l’Agriculture et des Arts de Lille. Mostly from the Italian school, but also in some small measure from the northern schools, it held drawings by artists like Raphael, Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach, Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David. This legacy initially formed the public "musée Wicar", which in 1866, merged into the Palais des beaux-arts de Lille.

Among his pupils was Francesco Giangiacomo.

Goodenia micrantha is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to south-western Australia. It is a prostrate to ascending herb with linear leaves at the base of the plant and racemes of small, yellowish flowers with a brownish centre.

Description
Goodenia micrantha is a prostrate to ascending herb with four-sided stems up to  long. The leaves are arranged at the base of the plant and are linear,  long and  wide. The flowers are arranged in racemes up to  long, with leaf-like bracts, each flower on a pedicel  long. The sepals are oblong to lance-shaped, about  long, the petals yellowish with a brownish centre and  long. The lower lobes of the corolla are  long with wings about  wide. Flowering mainly occurs from September to December and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule  in diameter.

Taxonomy and naming
This goodenia was described in 1874 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae as a variety of Goodenia filiformis, but was not given a varietal name. In 1912, Kurt Krause gave the variety the name Goodenia filiformis var. minutiflora in Adolf Engler's Das Pflanzenreich, meaning that this was the first valid, formal description of the variety. In 1921, Carl Frederik Albert Christensen and Carl Hansen Ostenfeld raised von Mueller's variety to species status as Goodenia micrantha, but that name was not valid, because the original variety was not named. The name Goodenia micrantha was first formally published in 1990 by Roger Charles Carolin in the journal Telopea, from an unpublished manuscript of the English botanist William Hensley. The specific epithet (micrantha) means "small-flowered".

Distribution and habitat
This goodenia grows in winter-wet depressions and on granite outcrops. It is widespread in scattered populations in the south-west of Western Australia. A single small population has also been recorded from the western end of Kangaroo Island in South Australia.

Conservation status
Goodenia micrantha is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.

The Soccer Six was an annual indoor football tournament organized the Football League in England. The first year of the competition was for the Midlands clubs only, but expanded for clubs nationwide every year after.

History 

The competition was inspired by the success of Major Indoor Soccer League that ran between 1978 and 1992 in the United States. The popularity of the Soccer Six coincided with the six-year ban English clubs faced from UEFA competitions in 1985.

A pilot tournament sponsored by Atari was run for football clubs in the Midlands at the NEC in Birmingham in 1982. The Football League opened the competition to all First Division clubs in 1982. All 21 top flight teams entered the competition in 1988 plus Manchester City of the Second Division.

The tournament took place in December of each year until it was cancelled in 1991. Tournament highlights were covered by the BBC's Sportsnight. Sponsorship by Courage and finally Guinness followed. Matches lasted a total of 15 minute split into two halves and had the rolling substitutions rule.

Other basic rules included a team must always have a player in the opposition half, a player could not shoot inside the marked yellow box and if the goalkeeper passed the ball to his team mate, that player could not pass back to the goalkeeper. The sin-bin was in use for the more serious offenders.

George Raff Brown (October 30, 1935 – September 2016) was an American basketball player  for the Minneapolis Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball at Wayne State University. Brown was selected by the Lakers in the fourth round of the 1957 NBA draft. He played one game for the Lakers. He also played for the Harlem Globetrotters and later in the Midwest Professional Basketball League.

College career
After playing basketball for Cass Technical High School, Brown played collegiately at Wayne State, where he also competed on the school's track and field team. He led the basketball team in scoring in his final two seasons, averaging 17.4 and 19.1 points per game, respectively. He averaged 15 rebounds per game over his last three seasons.

As a junior, Brown helped lead the team to the 1956 NCAA tournament, the second postseason tournament appearance in the school's history. They were the second team from Michigan to ever play in the tournament. The Tartars advanced to the second round before losing to Kentucky. In his senior year, Brown was voted the team's outstanding player of the year and was named an honorary co-captain for the season. He was inducted into the school's athletics hall of fame in 1983.

Professional career
Brown was selected by the Minneapolis Lakers in the fourth round (27th pick overall) of the 1957 NBA draft. He became the first Wayne State player to be drafted by a pro basketball team. He appeared in one regular season game for the Lakers, on October 30, 1957, where he scored 1 point, becoming one of 11 players in NBA history to score their current career high on their birthday. He was waived by the Lakers on November 4, 1957.

Following his release from the Lakers, he played with the Harlem Globetrotters barnstorming team. During the 1960–61 season, he played for the Cook's Texaco Oilers. Considered a pro player, he was released in February 1961, when the team was preparing to become a member of the Amateur Athletic Union in Michigan. He spent the next few seasons in the Midwest Professional Basketball League with the Toledo Twisters, Grand Rapids Tackers and the Battle Creek Braves.

Nicolai Christian Mustad (26 December 1878 – 13 October 1970) was a Norwegian factory owner. He was the son of Hans Mustad, and was co-owner of the company O. Mustad & Søn from 1905–1959. He was decorated Knight, First Class of the Order of St. Olav in 1956.

In 1908, Mustad bought a Vincent van Gogh painting in 1908 on the advice of Norwegian art historian and conservator Jens Thiis, but soon consigned it to an attic when either the French ambassador to Sweden or Auguste Pellerin, the Norwegian consul in Paris, suggested it was a fake or wrongly attributed. The painting languished there until Mustad's death in 1970, when it was sold to another collector. Two failed attempts were made to attribute it as a van Gogh, but it was finally identified as Sunset at Montmajour, painted by van Gogh in 1888.

Iconoclast: a Neuroscientist Reveals How to Think Differently is a neuropsychology book written by Gregory Berns and first published in 2008 by Harvard Business Press. The text describes how iconoclasts leverage perception, imagination, fear, and social intelligence to achieve success.

Major Sections
The book has eight major sections.  The people referenced in each section are listed below.

Reviews
"Iconoclast is an eye-opener that will both inform and inspire you. Though most of us want to be innovative thinkers, we just don't understand the barriers in the way of our success. In this book, Gregory Berns deftly blends intriguing case studies with exciting neuroscientific findings to show how and why iconoclasts overcome these barriers and thrive."

—Michael J. Mauboussin, chief investment strategist at Legg Mason Capital Management and author of More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places

"Iconoclast introduces you to people in every field who make success look easy. These people can reconcile the brain's quest for certainty with life's inherent uncertainty by seeing different facets of life. They ask questions that do not occur to the population that simply accepts consensus answers. You'll be inspired to emulate these iconoclasts in your own life."

—Dean LeBaron, Chairman, virtualquest

"In Iconoclast, Gregory Berns tells the stories of monumental events in art, medicine, technology, and more. Through the eyes of a neuroscientist, he helps us understand the underlying processes that either hinder or encourage creativity and an iconoclastic perspective. In today's world we cannot afford to be ignorant of either these processes or our history."
