Suibne mac Colmáin (died 600) was a King of Uisnech in Mide of the Clann Cholmáin. He was the son of Colmán Már mac Diarmato (died 555/558), also King of Uisnech. He ruled Uisnech from 587 to 600.

The Marianus Scotus king list names Suibne mac Colmáin as High King of Ireland. He may also be the Suibne referred to in the Baile Chuind (The Ecstasy of Conn) The annals and other king lists do not give him this title, however. He was slain in 600 at Brí Dam on the Suaine (near modern Geashill, County Offaly) by his uncle, the high king  Áed Sláine mac Diarmato (died 604) of the Síl nÁedo Sláine, treacherously according to the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán.

Suibne's sons Conall Guthbinn mac Suibni (died 635) and Máel Dóid mac Suibni (died 653) were also kings of Uisnech. His daughter Uasal ingen Suibni (died 643) married Fáelán mac Colmáin (died 666?), King of Leinster from the Uí Dúnlainge.

Four people were killed in violence relating to the Northern Ireland Troubles in the town of Limavady, County Londonderry. All were Protestants, and all were killed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA, better known as the IRA). One was a prison officer and one was a Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officer. The other two victims were civilians killed by a van bomb explosion outside the Limavady RUC base on 28 March 1972. They were driving past at the time of the attack.

The Catholic Church of Christ the King in Limavady was also bombed by loyalist paramilitaries in October 1981 as it was nearing completion. 

On 6 December 1982 the INLA detonated a bomb without warning in The Droppin Well Nightclub in Ballykelly just 3 miles from Limavady. The nightclub was Catholic-owned and drew people from all sections of the community including soldiers from the base nearby.
As a result 17 people were murdered, 11 of them being military. Over 30 were injured, some very severely.

In the early hours of 13th Of June 1986 the IRA detonated a huge bomb in Castle Park, a predominantly Protestant residential area of Limavady.
Police were still evacuating homes when the bomb went off but only minor injuries were incurred though about thirty homes were damaged, some of them very significantly.

Francisco Bustamante (c. 1680–1737) was a Spanish painter.

Bustamante was born at Oviedo, and studied painting with Miguel Jacinto Menendez at Madrid. On the ceiling of the sacristy of Oviedo Cathedral he painted a fresco representing 'The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin,' from a sketch sent from Rome; also a series for the cloister of the Franciscans. He excelled in portraiture; his likenesses, executed with fidelity and skill, are to be met with in the best houses of the Asturias. He died in Oviedo.

Wo Ai Ni Mommy (I Love You Mommy) is a 2010 American television documentary film directed by Stephanie Wang-Breal, and distributed by P.O.V.. The documentary follows the story of a then 8-year-old Chinese girl, Fang Sui Yong, who was adopted by a Jewish Long Island family. The film had its world premiere at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival in 2010.

Given a new name of "Faith" by her new adopter mother, Donna Sadowsky, the film documents Faith's life just before her adoption in China, and follows her journey to America for a period of 18 months. Faith lived with her new adopted father, Jeff, as well as the Sadowsky's two biological sons and another Chinese adoptee.

"Wo Ai Ni Mommy" inspired Stephanie Wang-Breal's second feature documentary, "Tough Love," a story about two families affected by the United States child welfare system.
"Tough Love" is currently showing in festivals worldwide.

Awards
Wo Ai Ni Mommy won the Best Documentary Feature at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, and the 'Sterling Award for Best U.S. Feature' at the Silverdocs. The film is nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Informational Programming-Long Form, which will be awarded on September 26, 2011.

Mise en place () is a French culinary phrase which means "putting in place" or "gather". It refers to the setup required before cooking, and is often used in professional kitchens to refer to organizing and arranging the ingredients (e.g., cuts of meat, relishes, sauces, par-cooked items, spices, freshly chopped vegetables, and other components) that a cook will require for the menu items that are expected to be prepared during a shift.

The practice can be applied in home kitchens.

In the kitchen, the phrase is used as a noun (i.e., the setup of the array of ingredients), a verb (i.e., the process of preparing) and a state of mind. The term's broader meanings can be applied to classrooms, hospitals, IT departments, and elsewhere.

Use outside of cooking
The term has also been used outside of cooking: psychologists Weisberg, et al., used the phrase to refer to "how one's stance towards a given environment places constraints on what one feels able to do within that environment, and how these assessments and predispositions impact the process of preparing to act." They used the term in a study of how a school became safer after security measureslike metal detectors and bars on the windowswere removed, leading to the unexpected outcome.

In mathematics, a Markov information source, or simply, a Markov source, is an information source whose underlying dynamics are given by a stationary finite Markov chain.

Formal definition
An information source is a sequence of random variables ranging over a finite alphabet , having a stationary distribution.

A Markov information source is then a (stationary) Markov chain , together with a function

that maps states  in the Markov chain to letters in the alphabet .

A unifilar Markov source is a Markov source for which the values  are distinct whenever each of the states  are reachable, in one step, from a common prior state.  Unifilar sources are notable in that many of their properties are far more easily analyzed, as compared to the general case.

Applications
Markov sources are commonly used in communication theory, as a model of a transmitter. Markov sources also occur in natural language processing, where they are used to represent hidden meaning in a text.  Given the output of a Markov source, whose underlying Markov chain is unknown, the task of solving for the underlying chain is undertaken by the techniques of hidden Markov models, such as the Viterbi algorithm.

The Beltsville Small White is a modern American breed of domestic turkey. It was developed from 1934 at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center of the United States Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, Maryland, and was named for that town and for its physical characteristics — small size and white plumage. It enjoyed a brief period of commercial success in the mid-twentieth century, but numbers then declined sharply; in the twenty-first century it is an endangered breed, and may be considered a heritage turkey breed.

History 

Development for the Small White began in the 1930s in response to market research that said consumers wanted a turkey of small to medium size with no dark pinfeathers and more white meat. In 1934, the Beltsville Research Center started a seven-year breeding and research program; led by Stanley J. Marsden and lasting until 1941. Initially, the Small White was a cross of the Bronze, White Holland, White Austrian, Black, and wild turkeys. Two years later, the Broad Breasted Bronze was introduced as well. The new breed was characterized by early maturity, more breast meat, high hatchability, and an adequate size for smaller ovens and families. The breed was used commercially in the 1940s and was recognized officially by the American Poultry Association in 1951. Commercial production of Small Whites began in 1947 and increased to about 28 percent (or 19,000,000 of 67,693,000) of turkeys produced in 1954. However, in the following years, production slowly declined in favor of larger white strains to about 9 percent (9,000,000 of 93,370,000) of turkeys raised in 1963. In 1964, light breed turkeys (presumed to be Beltsville Whites or of similar breeding) saw a slight increase to 11 percent, but in the following years, saw a continued decline. 

Since the Beltsville Small white was explicitly developed for smaller households, its size could not fulfill the shift in consumer demand for larger turkeys; precisely the demand of commercial food processors and restaurants in need of larger breasted turkeys. By the 1970s, it had nearly disappeared, with the Broad Breasted White rising to prominence to meet consumer needs. Beltsville Small Whites are extremely rare today and are listed as Critical by the American Livestock Conservancy. In more recent years, the variety has seen a revival of interest specifically for those interested in heritage turkey breeds, including a research flock at Iowa State University and efforts to locate and conserve remnant flocks in the United States and Canada. However, the acquisition of Small Whites for home flocks remains rare.

Characteristics 

Small Whites have entirely white plumage, with a red to blueish-white head, black beard, horn-colored beak, and dark brown eyes. Their shanks and toes are typically pinkish white. Weights range from  approximately  for toms, and about  for hens. The eggs vary from mid-brown to a pale cream color; they may show some spotting.

Kiprijan Račanin (, Cyprian of Rača; c. 1650–1730) was a Serbian writer and monk who founded a copyist school (Scriptorium) in Szentendre, just like the one he left behind in Serbia -- School of Rača -- at the commencement of the Great Turkish War in 1689. He is remembered as an academically-trained Serbian-born writer and enlightener who laid the foundation for the development of modern Serbian literature, according to literary critic Jovan Skerlić.

It was, incidentally, in the small wooden church, dedicated to the Evangelist Luke, that the Szentenedre Scriptorium and printing office came into being; among the monk-scribes Kiprijan Račanin, Gavrilo Trojičanin, Jerotej Račanin, Čirjak Račanin, Hristifor Račanin, Teodor Račanin, and others.

Little is known about him. It is known, however, that he took orders at the Rača monastery and became a monk-scribe. During the Great Turkish War of 1689-1699 he left central Serbia for Serbian territories up north, bordering Hungary. In Zenta he remained for a while, joining the Christian fray against the Turks in the Battle of Zenta. With Arsenije III Čarnojević he came to settle in Szentendre, where he began to make a name for himself as the dean of a scriptorium, a diligent copyist of manuscripts and books, and writer of one of the early Serbian primers called Bukvar in 1717, an adaptation of a Primer by Russian writer Fedor Polikarpov-Orlov (1660-1731).

Work
He compiled the Буквар словенских писмена ("Primer of Slavic Writings"; 1717), in which he gave the first rules of modern Serbian versification. Among the original works, the most significant is his inspired Стихира светом кнезу Лазару ("Stihira to the Holy Prince Lazarus"; 1692)
