São Vicente Creole is the name given to the variant of Cape Verdean Creole spoken mainly in the São Vicente Island of Cape Verde. It belongs to the Barlavento Creoles branch. It is the second most widely spoken Cape Verdean creole. It has produced literature from a lot of writers and musicians including Sergio Frusoni and many more.

Characteristics
Besides the main characteristics of Barlavento Creoles the São Vicente Creole has also the following ones:
 The progressive aspect of the present is formed by putting tí tâ before the verbs: tí + tâ + V.
 The sounds  and  are palatalized to  and  when they are at the end of syllables. Ex.: fésta “party” pronounced  instead of , gósga “tickles” pronounced  instead of , más “more” pronounced  instead of .
 The stressed final sound  is pronounced . Ex.: já  instead of djâ  “already”, lá  instead of lâ  “there”, and all the verbs that end by ~â, calcá  instead of calcâ  “to press”, pintchá  instead of pintchâ  “to push”, etc.
 The sound  (that originates from Portuguese , written “lh”) is represented by the sound : bói’  instead of bódj’  “dance (noun)”, ôi’  instead of ôdj’  “eye”, spêi’  instead of spêdj’  “mirror”. When it is after the sound , the sound  remains: fídj’  “son”, mídj’  “corn”. When it is immediately after a consonant, the sound  remains: m’djôr  “better”, c’djêr  “spoon”.
 The sound  (that originates from old Portuguese, written “j” in the beginning of words) is totally represented by . Ex. já  instead of djâ  “already”, jantá  instead of djantâ  “to dine”, Jõ’  instead of Djõ’  “John”.
 Existence of a certain kind of vocabulary (also existing in Santo Antão) that does not exist in the other islands. Ex.: dançá instead of badjâ “to dance”, dzê instead of flâ “to say”, falá instead of papiâ “to speak”, guitá instead of djobê “to peek”, ruf’ná instead of fuliâ “to throw”, stód’ instead of stâ “to be”, tchocá instead of furtâ “to steal”, tchúc’ instead of pôrc’ “pig”, etc.

GNOME Activity Journal is a semantic desktop browser-like application for the GNOME desktop environment. Instead of providing direct access to the hierarchical file system like most file managers, GNOME Activity Journal uses the Zeitgeist framework to classify files according to metadata. This includes time and date of previous accesses, location of use (using GPS positioning), file type, tagging and more. In addition to local files, GNOME Activity Journal also organizes web browsing history, email and other data sources.

GNOME Activity Journal was ported to GTK3 and Python3 in version 1.0.0. It is available as part of Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux (AUR) and Ubuntu.

History 
GNOME Activity Journal's inclusion in GNOME 3.0 was initially rejected with the provided reason being that it did not integrate well in the whole desktop and looked more like a standalone application, but that decision was revisited at the GNOME Boston Summit and integration with GNOME is once again planned.

Ubuntu shipped Zeitgeist as a standard part of their new desktop environment, Unity, in Ubuntu 11.04. Gnome Activity Journal is not shipped by default, but the Unity Dash makes use of Zeitgeist.

The Butlers Gorge Power Station is a conventional hydroelectric power station located in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia.

Technical details

Part of the Derwent scheme that comprises eleven hydroelectric power stations, the Butlers Gorge Power Station is the first station in the scheme. The power station is located above ground at the foot of the concrete arched Clark Dam across the River Derwent that forms Lake King William. Water from the lake is fed to the power station, coupled to one of two discharge regulating valves to ensure water flow to
Tarraleah Power Station located further downstream.

The power station was commissioned in 1951 by the Hydro Electric Corporation (TAS) and officially opened on 22 November 1952. The station has one English Electric Francis turbine, with a generating capacity of  of electricity.  The station building houses a single alternator and the turbine has a fully embedded spiral casing with water flow controlled via a butterfly type valve. It also houses a 125 kVA diesel generator for alternate station services supply when needed. The station output, estimated to be  annually, is fed to TasNetworks' transmission grid via an 11 kV/110 kV three-phase English Electric generator transformer to the outdoor switchyard.

The water discharged from the Butlers Gorge Power Station flows via three conduits to either Nieterana mini-hydro, Tarraleah Power Station, or to Wally's Weir and back into the Derwent.

Climate 
Butlers Gorge has a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb), bordering on a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfc). Over the period 1957 to 1993, there were on average 27 snow days annually.

The men's points race was an event at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, for which the final was held on August 3, 1984. There were 43 participants from 25 nations (with 6 other cyclists not starting). Each nation was limited to 2 cyclists. 24 cyclists competed in the final after two semifinals (twelve best in each qualified). The event was won by Roger Ilegems of Belgium, with Uwe Messerschmidt taking silver and José Youshimatz of Mexico bronze. It was the first medal in the event for each nation, none of which had competed in the previous edition in 1900 (though a united Germany had competed and taken a medal).

Background
This was the second appearance of the event. It was first held in 1900 and not again until 1984; after that, it was held every Summer Games until 2008 when it was removed from the programme. The women's version was held from 1996 through 2008.

The reigning World Champion (1983) was Michael Markussen of Denmark. The other two men from the world championship podium, Hans-Joachim Pohl of East Germany and Ivan Romanov of the Soviet Union, were not able to compete due to the Soviet-led boycott.

23 nations made their debut in the event. France and Italy competed for the second time, the only nations to have competed in 1900 as well as 1984.

Competition format
The contest consisted of two rounds: semifinals and a final. The distance varied by round, with 30 kilometres in the semifinals and 50 kilometres in the final. The top 12 in each of the two semifinals advanced to the 24-man final. Placement in each race was determined first by how many laps behind the leader the cyclist was and second by how many sprint points the cyclist accumulated. That is, a cyclist with more sprint points but who was lapped once would be ranked behind a cyclist with fewer points but who had not been lapped. Sprint points could be gained only by cyclists who had not been lapped.

In the semifinals, there were 20 sprints—one every 1.5 kilometres. Points were awarded based on the position of the cyclists at the end of the sprint. Most of the sprints were worth 5 points for the leader, 3 to the second-place cyclist, 2 to third, and 1 to fourth. The 10th (halfway) and 20th (final) sprint were worth double: 10 points, 6, 4, and 2.

The final featured 30 sprints—one every 1.67 kilometres. As in the semifinals, most sprints were worth 5/3/2/1 points, with the halfway (15th) and final (30th) sprints worth 10/6/4/2.

Agnes of Cleves (1422–1448) was a daughter of Adolph I, Duke of Cleves and his second wife Mary of Valois, daughter of John the Fearless duke of Burgundy.

In 1439, Agnes married Charles, Prince of Viana. He had been bequeathed the kingdom of Navarre.  His right to be King of Navarre had been recognised by the Cortes; but when his mother Blanche died in 1441, her husband King John II of Aragon had seized the kingdom to the exclusion of his son. Charles and Agnes had no children.

Agnes died on 6 April 1448, aged only 25 or 26. After Agnes' death, her husband decided to remarry with his choice being Infanta Catherine of Portugal. However, Charles died in 1461 before the marriage could take place.

Poco Lena (1949–1968) was an outstanding cutting mare, and dam of two famous Quarter horse cutting horses and stallions: Doc O'Lena and Dry Doc.

Life

Poco Lena was foaled in 1949, the daughter of Poco Bueno out of a daughter of Pretty Boy named Sheilwin.  She traced to Peter McCue on both her sire's and her dam's side.

Career, breeding and honors 
With the American Quarter Horse Association (or AQHA) Poco Lena earned her AQHA Championship, a Performance Register of Merit, a Superior Cutting Horse award and a Superior Halter Horse award. She was also the AQHA High Point Cutting Horse in 1959, 1960, and 1961. With the National Cutting Horse Association (or NCHA) she earned a total of $99,819.61 in cutting contests in her career. She earned a Certificate of Ability, as well as a Bronze and a Silver Award with the NCHA. She was also inducted into the NCHA Horse Hall of Fame.

In late 1961, Poco Lena foundered. She recovered, and was showing well when in October 1962 her owner, B. A. Skipper Jr., died in a plane crash. In the confusion, Poco Lena was left in a trailer for four days without food or water. She foundered again, and never competed again. Eventually she was bought by the owners of Doc Bar, Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Jensen. After much nursing and effort, Poco Lena produced two foals when bred to Doc Bar – Doc O'Lena and Dry Doc, both of whom won the NCHA Cutting Futurity. However, Poco Lena's founder deteriorated after the birth of Dry Doc, and on December 16, 1968, she was euthanized.

Poco Lena was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame.

Dance Aerobics, released in Japan as , is a music video game developed by Human Entertainment for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released in Japan by Bandai in February 1987 and North America by Nintendo in March 1989. It is the third game in Bandai's Family Trainer series, which was designed for use with the NES' 3x4 dance mat, the Power Pad, making it similar to the rhythm game genre, a genre that would later explode into the mainstream gaming market at the tail end of the 1990s.

Gameplay

Dance Aerobics features three distinct modes. In Normal Mode, the player begins with four different aerobics classes to choose from and by playing through the classes may unlock an additional 4. The player must follow the motions of the instructor by stepping on the appropriate buttons on the Power Pad as music plays. The player may also use their hands and in some more advanced levels and in different modes use of the hands is required. In Normal Mode, the score begins at 100 and decreases by 10 with each mistake, only going up for routines completed correctly. If the counter reaches zero then the player has failed the song. The games begin simply but as the player passes levels, new harder songs are unlocked and the difficulty increases.

In the Pad Antics Mode, three games are available.  In Tune Up, the central two buttons of the Power Pad are de-activated (to allow the player to stand upon them) and the 10 pads surrounding the player are assigned different musical notes. The player can compose their own melody in a free form style by stepping on the appropriate pads to produce the tones they wish to play. In Mat Melodies, the player stands on the center two pads and the game plays a short song to the player who then must repeat it back eidetically by hitting the appropriate pads in the same order. In Ditto, the game plays music and calls instructions about whether to use a hand or a foot to hit the appropriate pad in a Twister-like manner.

In Aerobics Mode, the 4 original songs from Normal Mode (Studio 5, Studio 10, Studio 15, and Studio 20) are all available and the scoring is the same except that when the counter reaches 0 the music continues and the player may continue to attempt to mimic the moves made by the instructor. There is no progression of levels and doing well in Aerobics Mode will not unlock any new content in this mode.
