The 1988–89 Irish League Cup (known as the Roadferry Freight League Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the 3rd edition of the Irish League Cup, Northern Ireland's secondary football knock-out cup competition. It concluded on 30 November 1988 with the final.

Coleraine were the defending champions after defeating Portadown 1–0 in the previous final. The same two clubs met in the second round this season, with Portadown knocking out the holders. Glentoran were the eventual winners, becoming the third different winner of the competition in its first three seasons. They defeated arch-rivals Linfield 2–1 in the final.

The final was notable for the Glentoran goalkeeper Alan Paterson, scoring what turned out to be the winning goal. This was the first time that a goalkeeper had ever scored in a British football final.

Britton–Robinson buffer (aka BRB aka PEM) is a "universal" pH buffer used for the pH range from 2 to 12. Universal buffers consist of mixtures of acids of diminishing strength (increasing pKa), so that the change in pH is approximately proportional to the amount of alkali added. It consists of a mixture of 0.04 M boric acid, 0.04 M phosphoric acid and 0.04 M acetic acid that has been titrated to the desired pH with 0.2 M sodium hydroxide. Britton and Robinson also proposed a second formulation that gave an essentially linear pH response to added alkali from pH 2.5 to pH 9.2 (and buffers to pH 12). This mixture consists of 0.0286 M citric acid, 0.0286 M monopotassium phosphate, 0.0286 M boric acid, 0.0286 M veronal and 0.0286 M hydrochloric acid titrated with 0.2 M sodium hydroxide.

This buffer was invented in 1931 by the English chemist Hubert Thomas Stanley "Kevin" Britton (1892–1960) and the New Zealand chemist Robert Anthony Robinson (1904–1979).

Major General Gustave Mario Ramaciotti,  (13 March 1861 – 6 December 1927) was an Australian law clerk, theatrical manager and soldier who was well known in Sydney's legal services.

Early life and career

Ramaciotti was born in Livorno, Italy, on 13 March 1861. He arrived in Queensland, Australia, in his teenage years, and in 1878 joined the Rockhampton Volunteers, Queensland Defence Force as a private. In 1880 he was naturalised. He became a law clerk and married Ada Wilson in 1882. As managing clerk of the conveyancing department of Minter Simpson & Co, he became well known in Sydney legal circles until his retirement from law in 1904. He became a partner in Australia's largest theatrical company with J. C. Williamson and George Tallis. After selling his shares in J C Williamson Ltd he bought the Theatre Royal in King Street, Sydney, the neighbouring Sutton's Hotel and adjoining land at the rear of these properties.

Military career
Ramaciotti's military interests continued and in 1890 he had been commissioned as a second lieutenant with the 2nd Infantry Regiment. By 1909 he was a lieutenant colonel commanding the 1st Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment. He went on to command the 24th Infantry (2nd Sydney Battalion) and was promoted to colonel in command of the 11th Infantry Brigade in 1914. During the First World War his duties were largely confined to home, but he eventually became Inspector General of administration at Army Headquarters, Melbourne. He was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1917, and on his retirement in 1920 he was made an honorary major general.

Death
Ramaciotti spent his remaining years travelling between Australia and Italy, until his death on a visit home to Australia on 6 December 1927. He was survived by his children Clive and Vera and his estate was sworn for probate in New South Wales at £91,485.

Acacia subternata is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves that is endemic to an area of northern Australia.

Description
The shrub typically grows to a maximum height of around  and has an erect to semi-prostrate or domed habit. It branches from close to ground level and has smooth to slightly fissured grey-brown coloured bark.

Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1859 as a part of the work Contributiones ad Acaciarum Australiae Cognitionem as published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Botany. It was reclassified by Leslie Pedley in 2003 then returned to genus Acacia in 2006.

Distribution
The shrub is native to the top end of the Northern Territory with the bulk of the population found from around Borroloola in the south east to the Victoria river in the south west. It is often situated on sandstone or quartzite ridges growing in skeletal sandy loam soils as a part of Eucalyptus woodland communities and is found with a spinifex understorey.

Tamu Samaj ("Tamu Society") is a society of Tamus (also known as Gurung), an ethnic group from Nepal. The Tamu societies are created around the world as a means to preserve Tamu's unique culture outside of Nepal. They organise cultural events, such as festivals of dance, music, and food. They also engage in humanitarian, social and educational activities. There are a number of Tamu Samajs around the world, including: Tamu Samaj Sydney, Tamu Samaj Victoria, Tamu Samaj UK, but some inherit different names such as "Gurung Tamu Society".
 
Tamu Samajs were originally formed to spread a sense of solidarity among Tamus living in Nepal and abroad. They are a central part of the community's social gatherings, activities and events.

History
In 1958, Bernard Pignede, a French student of anthropology came to Nepal to study about Gurungs. He spent seven months in a Gurung village Mohoriya (Kaski, Gandaki) and traveled through many neighboring Gurung villages to do his research. He learned to speak tamu-kuwei (gurung dialect) and documented pretty much everything about the gurungs – their social structure, culture, religion, history, occupations, legends and myths. He translated pae, a ritual and religious practice that one gurung generation has passed down to another for thousands of years. Pae conveys the oral history of gurungs and is considered very sacred. Unfortunately, Pignede died in 1961 at age of 29. After his death, Professor Louis Dumont published Pignedes work in 1966. The book was immediately recognized as a major contribution to the anthropology of the Himalayas. Later, two noted anthropologists – Sarah Harrison and Alan Macfarlane translated it in English and published the first English version in 1993. Harrison and Macfarlane studied further of gurungs and added more to Pignede's work. The English version of this book is called “The Gurungs”, which is probably the most acclaimed research on Gurungs so far.

Culture 
The Gurungs are famous for their culture. Various studies today have, however, shown that this division is an imposition from outside, and the Gurungs are divided into various subgroups; and they did not conform to the caste system. In Gurung society Chima holds the main responsibility for managing the village administration and also settles disputes in the village. Rodhighar is among the major identity of the social system of Gurung. Some have called the Rodhighar a house to thread wool, while others have called it a place to settle for the night. The Rodhighar is a good example of cooperation, assistance, better relation and collective spirits among the Gurungs.

Cheongpung Bridge () is a cable-stayed bridge which crosses the lake formed by Chungju Dam (part of the Namhan River system, a tributary of the Han River) in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea on Route 82 in that region.

The bridge project began in December 2004 and was scheduled to be completed in September 2010, to replace an existing PSC box girder bridge which had required periodical rehabilitation and repair work.  As the area where the bridge was constructed has well-known natural scenery and attractions, it designed to support tourism development plans.

Construction and design
The bridge was built by contractor Daelim Industrial Co., LTD, at a contract price of 40.3 million USD. Concrete pylon height with typical H-shape is 103m and constructed by auto climbing form. The main span of 327m across the lake is constructed using the free cantilever method and the side span of 57.5m is constructed by the full staging method.
The combination of composite section (reinforced concrete deck and I-shaped steel girder) for the center span and concrete section for side spans applied to the bridge because of decreasing effect of weight balance.  Concrete pylon has typical H-shape.  The leg shape beneath the superstructure level, on the other hand, needs to be narrow down a little bit to make the size of foundation smaller mainly for less rock excavation at foundation locations and better handling of construction unit (caisson) considering the site condition.  Cable is a multi strand system as two planes semi-fan.  An extra pier support in each side span has been applied.  To maximize the counter weight effect by concrete girder at side span, it is necessary to make the side span heavier as possible and not to have excessive bending moment by increasing dead load at the same time. Here, the extra pier support gives more opportunity for having more weight and stiffness in side span without resulting in excessive bending moment in girders and pylons.

The American Songbag is an anthology of American folksongs compiled by the poet Carl Sandburg and published by Harcourt, Brace and Company in 1927. It was enormously popular and was in print continuously for more than seventy years. Melodies from it were used in Alec Wilder' Names from the War (1961).

According to the musicologist Judith Tick:As a populist poet, Sandburg bestowed a powerful dignity on what the '20s called the "American scene" in a book he called a "ragbag of stripes and streaks of color from nearly all ends of the earth ... rich with the diversity of the United States." Reviewed widely in journals ranging from the New Masses to Modern Music, The American Songbag influenced a  number of musicians. Pete Seeger, who calls it a "landmark", saw it "almost as soon as it came out". The composer Elie Siegmeister took it to Paris with him in 1927, and he and his wife Hannah "were always singing these songs. That was home. That was where we belonged."

Thilo Bode (born 14 January 1947) is the founder and International Director of the consumer rights advocacy group Foodwatch, and was previously the CEO of Greenpeace.

Career 
Born in Eching am Ammersee, Germany, Bode is the son of journalist Thilo Bode and a bookseller. After graduating from the Karlsgymnasium München-Pasing high school in 1966, he founded the Working Group of Young Socialists in the SPD (Jusos) union for the municipality of Herrsching am Ammersee and served as Jusos chairman for the district of Starnberg.  He began studying sociology at the universities of Munich and Regensburg, before changing course to economics. After graduating with a degree in economics in 1972, Bode received a doctoral scholarship and, in 1975, Bode became a doctor of political sciences. His dissertation was on direct investments.  Bode later worked for engineering company Lahmeyer International, for the development bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) and as an executive assistant to a medium-sized Düsseldorf company in the metal industry.

From 1989 to 1995, he served as managing director of the German arm of the environmental organization Greenpeace and from 1995 to 2001, he served in the same position at Greenpeace International.  In 2002, Bode founded the consumer protection organization Foodwatch, and led the organization as managing director. In April 2017, he relinquished the management of Foodwatch Germany to Martin Rücker and has since served as director for Foodwatch International.  He also regularly publishes political science papers, for example in the Blättern für deutsche und internationale Politik.

Anti-TTIP Actions 
Bode is a prominent critic and activist against the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). In 2015, he helped organise an anti-TTIP rally in Berlin which drew more than 150,000 demonstrators. Friedrich Merz, a former MEP and former member of the Bundestag, criticized Bode's actions by stating “the fact that he’s speaking of hypothetical scenarios ... demonstrates that he can’t find anything in the texts to prove his point.” As a result of anti-TTIP actions, including Bode's, support for the partnership dropped from 55% to 17% in Germany and major trade unions, who once supported the agreement, began to oppose it.

Awards 
2009: Social Entrepreneur of the Year - Germany, awarded by the Schwab Foundation

Controversy 
In 2010, Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner (CSU), who has been frequently criticized by Foodwatch for her consumer policies, accused Thilo Bode and Foodwatch's campaigns for using "scandal" as a business model, focussing on "campaigns which stir up a climate of uncertainty".

St. Gabriel's Abbey or Monastery () is a former Benedictine nunnery of the Beuron Congregation in Smíchov, Prague, Czech Republic. It was built in the years 1888–1891, in the distinctive Beuronese style, by the congregation's architects Hildebrand de Hemptinne and Ghislain de Béthune. Initially a priory, it was raised to the status of an abbey in 1893. The nuns were forced to move to Austria in 1919. 

From then until 2019 the building belonged to the state and was used by state postal organizations, including the postal museum. Since 2019 it has been privately owned by a property development company.

The church now known as the Church of the Annunciation, popularly called St. Gabriel's, was formerly the conventual church. Since 22 December 1964, both the monastery and the church have been registered as cultural monuments.

The community of nuns dispossessed in 1919 moved to Schloss Bertholdstein in Pertlstein in Styria, Austria, until in 2007 they left the Beuronese Congregation to join the Federation of the Sisters of Saint Lioba, and, as St. Gabriel's Priory once again, moved to Sankt Johann bei Herberstein in Feistritztal.

TrueSkill is a skill-based ranking system developed by Microsoft for use with video game matchmaking on the Xbox network. Unlike the popular Elo rating system, which was initially designed for chess, TrueSkill is designed to support games with more than two players. In 2018, Microsoft published details about an extended version of TrueSkill, named TrueSkill2.

Calculation
A player's skill is represented as a normal distribution  characterized by a mean value of  (mu, representing perceived skill) and a variance of  (sigma, representing how "unconfident" the system is in the player's  value). As such  can be interpreted as the probability that the player's "true" skill is .

On Xbox Live, players start with  and ;  always increases after a win and always decreases after a loss. The extent of actual updates depends on each player's  and on how "surprising" the outcome is to the system. Unbalanced games, for example, result in either negligible updates when the favorite wins, or huge updates when the favorite loses surprisingly.

Factor graphs and expectation propagation via moment matching are used to compute the message passing equations which in turn compute the skills for the players.

Player ranks are displayed as the conservative estimate of their skill, . This is conservative, because the system is 99% sure that the player's skill is actually higher than what is displayed as their rank.

The system can be used with arbitrary scales, but Microsoft uses a scale from 0 to 50 for Xbox Live. Hence, players start with a rank of . This means that a new player's defeat results in a large sigma loss, which partially or completely compensates their mu loss. This explains why people may gain ranks from losses.

Use in other projects
TrueSkill is patented, and the name is trademarked, so it is limited to Microsoft projects and commercial projects that obtain a license to use the algorithm.
