Le Stanze del Vetro (in English: Rooms for Glass) is a gallery located on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy with rotating exhibits of Venetian glass. It is a joint venture between the Cini Foundation and Pentagram Stiftung, a non-profit foundation established by David Landau and Marie-Rose Kahane. It is housed in a former boarding school, renovated and designed by Annabelle Selldorf.

Mission 
The purpose of Le Stanze del Vetro is to focus on the history and the use of glass in 20th and 21st century art to bring this medium back into the center of the attention and discussion within the international art scene. Le Stanze del Vetro has adopted a model often found in English-speaking countries of free access to museums, based on the idea that cultural heritage belongs to the community.

Exhibitions and cultural initiatives 
The cultural initiatives of Le Stanze del Vetro focus not only on contemporary artists who have used glass as their artistic medium, but also on the main producers and on the major glass collections in the world. For this reason, two exhibitions are staged each year on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore. One in the spring, dedicated to the use of glass in 20th and 21st century Art and Design, the second in autumn, dedicated to the talented people who have designed objects for the Venini glassware company in the 20th century.

Site-specific Projects 
Alongside these initiatives, a series of special, often site-specific projects are organized involving contemporary artists (Swiss artist Not Vital in 2013 and Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto in 2014), who are invited to work with glass, either prefabricated or specially produced by craftsmen from Venice. The result is a large site-specific installation, coupled with the design of a small limited-edition object produced in Murano and sold at the Le Stanze del Vetro bookshop to support the activities organized and promoted by Le Stanze del Vetro.

Study Centre 
Le Stanze del Vetro has set up a Study Centre dedicated to research in the field of artistic glass, together with a general archive of Venetian glass, a series of scholarships specifically addressed to researchers interested in the topic and a series of seminars, conferences and workshops for scholars and artists interested in the history, technology and development of the art of glassmaking.

Sundaram Sri Sabaratnam (; 28 August 1952 – 6 May 1986) was a Sri Lankan Tamil rebel and leader of the Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO), a separatist Tamil militant organisation in Sri Lanka.

Early life
Sabaratnam was born on 28 August 1952. Whilst in government custody between 1972 and 1975 his jailer nicknamed him "Tall Sri" to differentiate him from another Sri in custody.

Neervely bank robbery
On 25 March 1981 a People's Bank van returning to Jaffna after collecting cash in Vadamarachchi was robbed of Rs. 8 million on the Jaffna-Point Pedro Road in Neervely. N. Thangavelu (alias Thangadurai), S. Yogachandran (alias Kuttimani), Selvadurai Sivasubramaniam (alias Devan), Navaratnarah (Nadarajah) Sivapatham (alias Sivapalan Master) and Vythilingam Nadesathasan (Nadesudasan) were arrested and charged in connection with the robbery. Sabaratnam was charged in absentia. The trial at Colombo High Court commenced on 2 November 1982 and on 24 February 1983 all six defendants were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

Sabaratnam became leader of TELO after the killing of Thangathurai and Kuttimani during the Welikada prison massacre in July 1983.

Death
In April 1986 the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) banned TELO and set about killing its leader Sri Sabaratnam. Sabaratnam went on the run, fleeing from TELO's main base in Kalviyankadu to Neervely, then to Kopay and finally to Kondavil. The LTTE found out that he was in Kondavil and they, led by Kittu, cordoned off the area and started a house-to-house search, using loud hailers to warn local residents not to shelter Sabaratnam. On 6 May 1986 the LTTE discovered Sabaratnam in a tobacco field and Kittu shot him in the leg to prevent him escaping. Sabaratnam pleaded with Kittu for his life, but Kittu shot him 28 times using a machine gun. Sabaratnam's bullet ridden body was displayed at Kondavil bus stand before being handed over to his family.

Rabbi Simcha Binem Lieberman (29 December 1926 – 28 June 2009) was an Israeli Talmudic scholar, lecturer at Jews' College, London, and a prolific writer. He was one of the last survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto.

Poland
Simcha Binem was born in Warsaw, Poland on 29 December 1926 (24 Teveth 5687 in the Hebrew calendar) to his father Rabbi Brachya Lieberman, a notable Amshinov hasid. He received the traditional education in chasidic families, steeped in the study of the Talmud and its commentators. This ended abruptly in 1939 with the Nazi invasion of Poland.

With the enclosure of Warsaw Jewry in a confined ghetto, his education continued along with the fight for survival entailed in ghetto life. When the bulk of the ghetto population was sent to the Treblinka extermination camp, Simcha, as an able-bodied teenager, was transferred to Majdanek, where he worked as a slave labourer. He was tortured brutally on account of his involvement in numerous acts of sabotage. Ultimately he was imprisoned in seven concentration camps including Dachau and Theresienstadt.

England
In 1945 he was rescued by Rabbi Dr. Solomon Schonfeld, Director of the Chief Rabbi's Emergency Council, and brought to England. He returned to his studies and eventually became a Fellow of Gateshead Kollel. He married Chava Sosha, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

In 1960 he was appointed head of the Hendon Kolel.

In 1971 he was appointed to the faculty of Jews' College, London as a lecturer in Talmud and Codes, a post he held until 1984, when he was 'made redundant' by the then Principal of the college, Jonathan Sacks (now Chief Rabbi of Great Britain). He then used his vast Talmudic knowledge to start writing a series of volumes titled Bishvilei Oraiso (in the paths of the Torah) and delivering public lectures on the fruits of his research.

Israel
In 1992 Rabbi Simcha emigrated from England and settled in the Har Canaan district of Tzfat, a mountain-top city in the Galilee, Israel. He established an institute for the publication of his writings, eventually publishing 20 volumes in the Bishvilei Oraiso series.

His wife Chava predeceased him. He died on 28 June 2009, aged 79, leaving 11 children.

Stress wave communication is a technique of sending and receiving messages using host structure itself as the transmission medium.
Conventional modulation methods such as amplitude-shift keying (ASK), frequency-shift keying (FSK), phase-shift keying (PSK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), pulse-position modulation (PPM) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) could be leveraged for stress wave communication. The challenge to use stress wave as the carrier of the communication is the severe signal distortions due to the multipath channel dispersion. Compared with other communication techniques, it is a very reliable communication for special applications, such as within concrete structures, well drilling string, pipeline structures and so on.

Hockley Brook is a brook, or stream, in north Birmingham, England. It rises just outside the city, in Smethwick, and runs through Black Patch Park and then through the city's Soho, Hockley and Aston districts, to its confluence with the River Tame, beneath Gravelly Hill Interchange. From there, its waters flow, via the Trent, to the Humber Estuary and the North Sea. At the eastern end, it is known as Aston Brook, giving its name to Aston Brook Street.

It previously marked the boundary between Birmingham (then Warwickshire) and Smethwick (then Staffordshire); between the then Staffordshire country villages of Handsworth and Smethwick; and between Birmingham and Aston, before the city absorbed the latter district.

The brook once fed several mills and provided water for Matthew Boulton's Soho Manufactory.

In post-World War II years, it was culverted (buried in pipes) for much of its length.

Local historian and artist Ron "Smudge" Smith titled his 1998 autobiography A Paddle in Hockley Brook.

History

Softball in Western Australia first gathered interest in 1947 after an exhibition match with ex-US servicemen led to a competition being created, which expanded in 1948. WASA was formally established the following year in 1949 as WAWSA (Western Australian Women's Softball Association). At 17, Val Johnston was the first president of the Association. The six foundation clubs were the WA Women's Flying Club, American Club, Liberal League, Victoria Park, Wembley and the National Catholic Girls Movement. The Caris Brothers A Grade Perpetual Trophy was competed for in the first 2 initial seasons, however in 1949, the competition was expanded to A and B grade. By 1950, C grade was included and the following season saw A Reserve and D grade introduced as well.

Western Australia sent their first team to compete in the Gilley's Shield in 1951.

The first games were played at Wellington Square East Perth, moving to Langley park in the early 1950s. By the mid 70's, the competition had expanded to play at Yokine Reserve.

On 22 September 1991 WASA's very own purpose-built facility was opened, and is currently the headquarters for softball in WA located at Lot 27 Chesterfield Road Mirrabooka (opposite Herb Graham Recreation Centre). WASA has in excess of 100 member clubs including approximately 40 metropolitan clubs and 30 country affiliates spanning the vast areas of WA. In total Softball has in excess of 4,000 playing members
