The Spider's Feast (Le Festin de l'araignée), Op. 17, is a 1912 "ballet-pantomime" with music by the French composer Albert Roussel (1869–1937) to a scenario by Gilbert de Voisins.

The ballet
The ballet depicts insect life in a garden, evoked by the flute solo at the opening and close of the work, and where insects are trapped in the spider's web, but when the spider prepares to begin its feast, it in turn is killed by a praying mantis. The funeral procession of the mayfly concludes the work. The full ballet lasts approximately half an hour.

Performance history
The work was premiered at the Théâtre des Arts in Paris on 3 April 1913 with Mlle Sahary-Djali in the title role, choreography by Léo Staats and design by Maxime Dethomas. It was revived at the Opéra-Comique on 5 December 1922 with Mado Minty as the spider and entered the repertoire of the Paris Opéra on 1 May 1939 with Suzanne Lorcia.

Typical of Roussel's earlier works, the music is impressionistic, much in the style of his countrymen Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. It is lushly orchestrated. Composed to order in only two months, the music was highly regarded for its "inventive counterpoints, bounding scherzos, gay and uneven rhythms, and personal instrumentation, both caressing and vigorous".

The symphonic fragments from the full score were first recorded in 1928 with the composer conducting (his only recording). Walter Straram and his Orchestre des Concerts Straram made a recording for Columbia in March 1930. Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra performed this orchestral suite during a broadcast concert in NBC Studio 8-H on 7 April 1946. Charles Munch and the London Philharmonic Orchestra in June 1947 recorded the work for Decca and Louis Fourestier conducting the Orchestre du Théâtre national de l'Opéra recorded it for Pathé in October 1948. In 1952, Rene Leibowitz recorded the suite with the Paris Philharmonic Orchestra and in 1953 the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Paul Paray recorded it for Mercury. Ernest Ansermet and the Suisse Romande Orchestra made the first complete recording of the ballet in 1954. Georges Prêtre recorded this same music with the Orchestre National de France for EMI in 1984. A recording by Christoph Eschenbach and the Orchestre de Paris was released on Ondine in 2008.

Instrumentation
The scoring includes 2 flutes (one doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (one doubling cor anglais), 2 clarinets in A, 2 bassoons; 2 horns in F (chromatiques), 2 trumpets in C; timpani, one percussion (cymbal, triangle, tambourine); celeste, harps; strings.

The Tornado Tower, also called the QIPCO Tower, is a high-rise office skyscraper in the city of Doha, Qatar. The building stands at a height of  tall with 52 floors.

History
Construction began in 2006 and was completed in 2008. It was built by MIDMAC and the BESIX Group subsidiary Six Construct. On delivery, the tower featured several innovations in energy efficiency and  reduction.

Description
The Tornado Tower is located on a 199,000 square foot plot of land, but only occupies 32,300 square feet of it, leaving plenty of open space around it to enhance its aesthetic. The circular footprint of the building, with a 97-foot diameter at its base, includes a ground level restaurant and a bank, among other amenities. Sixteen elevators serve the approximate 904,000 square feet of office space the building contains. The building is accompanied by 1500 car parking spaces housed within three levels of underground basement parking. Due to the hour glass shape of the building, the total rentable office space available on each floor varies from 13,560 to 25,800 square feet. This offers high flexibility in both the size of office space available and the layout of office space on each floor. The top three floors of the tower are luxury office space and are surrounded by terraces and balconies. The top level of the VIP floors has direct access to a helicopter landing pad.

It is the tenth tallest building in the city of Doha. It is considered a variation of London's Gherkin. HEC Paris has a campus in the building. The Canadian and the Australian embassies are located in the building.

Rafael Mario Ramón Llerena (March 5, 1913 – December 10, 2006) was a Cuban intellectual who worked alongside Fidel Castro to topple Fulgencio Batista but, opposing communism, broke with Castro after he gained power.

Biography
Llerena was born in Placetas, Las Villas.  Intending to become a Christian minister, he attended Princeton Theological Seminary, but then switched careers.  He taught Spanish at Duke University before returning to Cuba.  He also received a doctorate of philosophy and letters from the University of Havana.

Llerena met Castro in the 1950s, and at his request wrote a document, "Nuestra Razón", explaining the democratic ideals of the uprising Castro was planning.  In 1957, he was named chairman of the New York branch of the July 26 Movement, and played a pivotal role in circumventing Batista's attempts at censorship during the uprising.

Citing ideological differences, he resigned from the movement before Castro's triumph on January 1, 1959.  He criticized Castro's shift toward Communism, and ultimately fled the country in 1960.  He became a strong voice among other exiles, publishing numerous essays and a book in 1978 called The Unsuspected Revolution: The Birth and Rise of Castroism, in which he claims many of Castro's followers were deceived by his drift to Communism.

He died in 2006 in Miami, Florida of natural causes.

Mladenovo () is a village located in the Bačka Palanka municipality, in the South Bačka District of Serbia. It is situated in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The village has a Serb ethnic majority and its population numbering 3,358 people (2002 census).

Name
In Serbian, the village is known as Mladenovo (Младеново), in Croatian as Bukin, in German as Bukin, and in Hungarian as Dunabökény. Before 1945, when new name for the village was introduced, name for this village in Serbian was also Bukin (Букин).

History 

The history of Mladenovo starts in mid-13th century. Hungarian count Buky received an island Hagli, three kilometers south of present-day Mladenovo, from king Béla IV. He built a small village on the island and called it Buky (Bukin). The village kept that name until after World War II, when the name was changed to Mladenovo. During the Ottoman rule in the 16th and 17th century, the village of Bukin was mainly inhabited by ethnic Serbs.

In 1750 there was a disaster: flood destroyed the village and people moved 1.5 kilometers north and rebuilt the village. Sixty years later, in 1810, there was another catastrophic flood in which many people lost their lives. The village was again rebuilt another 1.5 kilometers north, on higher ground (87 meters above sea level). Germans started to settle here in 1812. Agriculture was advancing rapidly in Bukin in the 19th century and the village got its first post office, library, ambulance and school. As an advanced village, Bukin became a municipality in 1912. After World War II, people called the village Mladenovo, after the name of doctor Mladen Stojanović, a war hero. They built a statue of Mladen Stojanović in the center of the village.

Joseph Wright Taylor (1810 – 1880) is best known for being the financial catalyst for the founding of Bryn Mawr College. He was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, a physician and a member of the Society of Friends (popularly known as Quakers), and originally wanted the college to promote the ideals of the Quaker religion and the advancement of women's education. In 1878 he paid $53,500 for forty acres in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

In 1879, Taylor had begun to give physical shape to his idea for a women's college. He was involved in the planning of the practical and conceptual aspects of the new institution, including the selection of a site, an architect, and a landscape designer. Among the practical considerations for the final site selection were the location's healthfulness and proximity to the railroad, Haverford College, and Philadelphia. The original campus, a small segment of the Thomas-Humphries Tract and part of a larger property deeded by William Penn to Edward Pritchard and Co. in 1682, comprised thirty-two acres between Merion, Roberts, Gulph and Yarrow roads.

By 1893, the Board of Directors had expanded from the Quaker focus to make the college non-denominational.

XHACA-FM is a radio station on 96.1 FM in Acapulco, Guerrero. It is part of Radio Fórmula.

History
XEIZ-AM 630 received its concession on November 10, 1964. It quickly became XEACA-AM and broadcast with 5,000 watts on 630 kHz.

XEACA moved to 950 kHz in the 1990s and was sold to Grupo ACIR, carrying its Radio ACIR and Radio Felicidad formats. ACIR shed the station in 2009 to a concessionaire owned by Efrén Huerta Rodríguez and Roberto Agustín Shimidzu Castro on behalf of Grupo Fórmula.

In November 2010, XEACA was approved to migrate to FM on 106.3 MHz as XHACA-FM. However, 106-108 MHz was designated in 2014 as a reserved band for community and indigenous radio stations. As 96.1 MHz was available for a Class B1 station, the Federal Telecommunications Institute ordered XHACA to move to 96.1 in the near future upon renewing its concession in 2017; the change took place on January 30, 2021.

On November 1, 2022, XHACA-FM and XHZ-FM in Mérida, Yucatán, adopted Radio Fórmula's Trión musical brand.

The Oliver Super 44 series of utility tractors was developed and produced from 1957 to 1975 by the Oliver Farm Equipment Company to complement the Oliver line of heavy row-crop and standard agricultural tracts. Like row-crop tractors, the wheel track width could be adjusted to conform to crop row spacing, but the front wheels were only offered with a wide track. No narrow front wheel options were offered, making the tractor more stable with front-end loaders. Both the Super 44 and 440 were rated for two plows.

Description and production
The Oliver Super 44 and the heavier Super 55 were intended to compete against light tractor offerings from Farmall, Ford and John Deere]. They were built in an Oliver plant in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Super 44 was introduced in 1957, selling for about $2,200 in 1958. The  four-cylinder gasoline engine powered a four-speed transmission. Similarly to the Farmall C, the seat and steering wheel were offset to the right, increasing visibility. 775 Super 44s were produced, selling for about $2,200 in 1958..

Oliver 440
The Oliver 440 was produced with updated styling and few other changes, with production moving to the main Oliver plant in Charles City, Iowa.  Production ran until 1975 under White ownership. Selling price in 1963 was about $2,800.

The Elder's Revenge is an adventure published by White Wolf Publishing in 1995 for the horror live-action role-playing game Mind's Eye Theatre.

Plot summary
The Elder's Revenge is an adventure written by Jennifer Donaldson and John Flournoy for the Mind's Eye Theatre live-action role-playing game, itself a spinoff of the table-top horror role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade. 

The adventure, which takes the form of a dramatic script, involves the play, The Prince. The script contains production notes and stage directions. Numerous props such as letters, lyrics and newspaper clippings are included.

A full-scale production of the script requires seven principal actors and eight supporting actor/dancers.

Reception
In the August 1996 edition of Dragon (Issue #232), Rick Swan thought that given the large cast, the play should be produced by a college drama department rather than a band of role-players: "Better Elder's Revenge than an umteenth revival of Bye Bye Birdie.
