The Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) was founded on 18 June 1926, and is the world federation for philately based in Zürich, Switzerland.

Aims 
The primary aims of the FIP are:

To promote stamp collecting and philately.
To maintain friendly relations and friendship among all peoples.
To establish and maintain close relations with the philatelic trade and postal administrations.
To promote philatelic exhibitions by granting Patronage and Auspices

Since its inception in 1926, when a small number of European federations came together to found a worldwide organisation, the FIP has promoted the hobby that is sometimes called The King of Hobbies and the Hobby of Kings. FIP works to promote philately in developing countries, in Asia and in the industrialised countries, where it appears to be stagnating. It coordinates contact between the philatelic organisations in different countries.

Governance 
The FIP is run by a board of directors with a president and three vice-presidents. Since 2010, the president has been Bernard Beston, of Australia.

Commissions
There are eleven FIP Commissions which deal with the following subjects:

Aerophilately
Astrophilately
Fight against Forgeries
Maximaphily
Philatelic literature
Postal history
Postal stationery
Thematic philately
Traditional philately
Revenues
Youth philately

Each Commission has its own Commissioner.

Congress
The FIP Congress takes place annually during one of the international exhibitions that it has endorsed.

Exhibitions 
Every year the FIP provides patronage to a number of major stamp exhibitions. In 2008, FIP selected Tel Aviv, Paris, Bucharest, Prague, and Vienna.

In 2004, FIP ran its first "World Stamp Competition" in Singapore and selected Tel Aviv for the second competition in 2008. The competitions involved national teams and philatelic jurors.

The Binza group (French: groupe de Binza) was a ginger group active within the government of the Republic of the Congo (presently Democratic Republic of the Congo) in the early 1960s. Led by General Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, the clique played a major role in directing state policy, especially during the tenure of Prime Minister Cyrille Adoula, and enjoyed the covert backing of the United States government.

Background and etymology 
Binza was a suburb of Léopoldville that was developed after World War II as a neighborhood for upper class whites. By the 1960s the area was no longer segregated, but its expensive rents and lack of service from public transport limited its most of its Congolese residents to leading politicians and civil servants. The Binza group earned its name from this suburb, since many of its members maintained residences within it and met there.

History 
The Binza group was created in September 1960 and emerged as the preeminent political faction in Congolese politics in late 1961. Among its key members were Mobutu, who commanded the army; Victor Nendaka, the director of the Sûreté Nationale; Justin Marie Bomboko, a frequent foreign minister; Albert Ndele, the president of the National Bank of the Congo; and Damien Kandolo, a secretary in the Ministry of Interior. Politician Cléophas Kamitatu described it as an "association of friends of Mobutu". Ethnically and regionally diverse in membership, it exerted influence through its control of key government institutions. It enjoyed the support of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, which directed agent Larry Devlin to provide it with advice and financing. The existence of the group was not widely known until mid-1962.

The Binza Group was generally dissatisfied with Joseph Kasa-Vubu's leadership of the Congo as president and with the unruly nature of Parliament. Adoula was frequently supported by and in touch with the Binza group, but was not one of its members. He included its input in all important governmental actions.

With the possibility of national elections approaching in the near-future, in early 1963 members of the Binza group and other figures in the central government tried to organize new political parties that could win in such contests and hopefully secure their position in power. Despite significant resources and energy being devoted to these projects, these efforts largely failed to cultivate active bases of support among provincial leaders and the public. The Binza group's influence in government declined while Moïse Tshombe was prime minister, but it helped orchestrate his removal from power.

Following his assumption of power in 1965, Mobutu progressively eliminated the Binza group in favor of a personalised and authoritarian method of rule. Some of its members were appointed ambassadors and sent abroad, largely to keep them from posing a political threat to the regime. A few were later arrested and accused of subversive activities.

Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) provides an interim solution for handing over VoLTE (Voice over LTE) to 2G/3G networks. The voice calls on LTE network are meant to be packet switched calls which use IMS system to be made. To make it inter operable with existing networks, these calls are to be handed over to Circuit switched calls in GSM/WCDMA networks. QoS is ensured by SRVCC operators for calls made.

3GPP also standardized SRVCC to provide easy handovers from LTE network to GSM/UMTS network.

The Górniczy Agregat Gaśniczy (GAG) is a jet engine inertisation unit developed for use in mines, controlling and suppressing coal seam fires and neutralising firedamp situations.  The unit was designed in Poland in the 1970s, its name roughly translates as "Mine Fire Suppression Apparatus".  A GAG 3A unit was developed by the Queensland Mines Rescue Service, in association with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).  GAG units have been used in Australia since 1998.

Mechanism
The GAG unit emits carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapour.  The gases lower the oxygen levels, suppressing fires, and forcing methane out of the mine. A unit is capable of pumping a volume of 25 m3/s, creating levels of less than 1% oxygen. When fully assembled, the unit is 12 metres long and weighs 2.5 tonnes. As of 2010, there were only three GAG units in the world – in Australia, the Netherlands and Ukraine
. The "GAG" unit from the Netherlands is called Steamexfire.

Notable usage
GAG units have been used in Australia, most notably in 2000 at the Blair Athol Mine, Queensland, where one extinguished  a 54-year-old coal fire. In 2003, a team from the Queensland Mine Rescue Service took a unit to West Virginia, where they successfully extinguished a   deep, two-month-old fire at Loveridge Mine, after ten days of continuous use. Queensland's unit was also transported to New Zealand in 2010 for use after the Pike River Mine disaster.

Deon Dreyer (7 August 1974 – 17 December 1994) was a South African recreational scuba diver who died in Bushman's Hole in South Africa. Cave diver David Shaw died more than 10 years later while attempting to retrieve Dreyer's body.

Life
Dreyer's father, Theo (who owns a business that sells and services two-way radios) and mother, Marie, raised him in the town of Vereeniging, about 35 miles south of Johannesburg. Dreyer designed "obscenely loud car stereos", had a passion for diving, and loved adventure, (e.g., hunting, racing a souped-up car, and motorcycling).

Outside Magazines Tim Zimmerman reports:

Death
Dreyer drowned on 17 December 1994, aged 20, during a practice dive. He was helping a team, assembled by Nuno Gomes, set up conditions for a deep technical dive scheduled to take place later that week. According to first-hand accounts from those diving with him, Dreyer was lost on ascent around  from the surface. They conjectured he had probably lost consciousness either because of oxygen toxicity or hypercapnia induced by the high work-rate of breathing at depth.

Two weeks after Dreyer's death, Theo hired a small, remotely operated sub used by the De Beers mining company. It found Dreyer's dive helmet on the cenote floor, but there was no sign of his body.

Commemoration
Dreyer's parents erected a plaque on a rock wall above the Bushman's Hole entry pool, in memory of their son. In Phillip Finch's book Diving into Darkness: A True Story of Death and Survival, it was suggested that one of the reasons Dreyer's death created such an impression on the cave diving community was because of the plaque.  The bodies of most other divers who die, even whilst cave diving, are recovered.  However, for many years it was assumed Dreyer's body would never be recovered from the cave because it was simply too deep, but the plaque was a continual reminder to cave divers that his body lay within.

Recovery of body
Ten years later, in October 2004, renowned cave diver David Shaw discovered Dreyer's body in the cave at a depth of . On 8 January 2005, Shaw tried to recover the body, but died in the attempt. Shaw's close friend and support diver, Don Shirley, also nearly died and was left with permanent damage that has impaired his balance. On 12 January 2005, while others were recovering Shaw's technical equipment, they discovered the bodies of both Dreyer and Shaw had floated up close to the surface. Both bodies were then recovered.

Horn trio can mean a work written for three horns or horns as well as one for horn and two other instruments. In the latter category, an important genre is the trio for horn, violin and piano. Although there are a few earlier examples, the tradition of this scoring was inaugurated in 1865 by Johannes Brahms with his Trio in E, opus 40. Related combinations are those of (1) oboe, horn, and piano, (2) clarinet, horn, and piano, (3) horn, bassoon, and piano and (4) flute, horn, and piano.

Clionella kraussii is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Clavatulidae.

This species was named after Ferdinand Krauss (1812–1890), author of Krauss (1848), Die südafrikanischen Mollusken, ein Beitrag zur Kenntniss der Mollusken des Kap- und Natallandes und zur geographischen Verbreitung derselben, mit Beschreibung und Abbildung der neuen Arten; Stuttgart, Ebner & Seubert, 1848.

Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 15 mm and 40 mm.

This species is easily recognized by the short subnodulous ribs, which occupy scarcely the lower half of the whorls, the depression round the middle and the raised band above, and the manner of coloration, the purplish-brown maculations being somewhat flexuous in the depression. Its nearest relation is Clionella semicostata (Kiener, 1840).

Distribution
This marine species occurs along False Bay and West Transkei, South Africa; also off Madagascar.

Old Girlfriends and Other Horrible Memories is an album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey, released in 1992. It also marked the end of an era for Fahey, who would soon be involved in a downward spiral in his personal life, health and career.

Reception

Allmusic critic Richard Meyer gave the album a 3 of 5 stars review, writing "All his trademark elements are here, eclectic song choices, dark and precise playing and a sense of fun." CMJ New Music wrote that "...the mood on Old Girlfriends is one that finds comfort in a certain melancholia and longing spirit rather than dwelling on darker hues. That Fahey can evoke all these emotions with just an acoustic guitar proves the power possible behind simplicity, how one instrument can captivate with only feeling, and in this case memories, providing the motivation."

Adam Seymour Dickson Duncan (8 June 1852 – 21 February 1940) was an Indian-born English lawyer and a first-class cricketer who played in fourteen matches, mainly for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), between 1873 and 1879. He was born in Calcutta, Bengal.

Duncan was educated at Eton College and at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Although he played as a batsman in a few school cricket matches, he did not appear in the Eton v Harrow games. In his first year at Cambridge University in 1873 he was picked for trial games, but did not earn a game for the first eleven, although he played in a first-class match against the Cambridge side for "An England XI", when he scored 19 and 0. Playing for a scratch amateur team against a university side was a frequent ploy used by the university cricket teams in both the 19th and early 20th centuries to give a further trial to a potentially promising player; Duncan went through the same rigmarole two years later in 1875, again selected for "An England XI", but this time with 36 in the only England innings he was the top-scorer (W. G. Grace made 24). That led to selection for two Cambridge University matches, but after scoring 33 in his first innings for the university he had a poor second game and was not picked again. His remaining first-class cricket was a series of matches for the MCC, five of them in 1879, and the last of which included his highest first-class score, 42, made against Lancashire.

Duncan graduated from Cambridge University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1876; he became a solicitor, practising from Queen Victoria Street, London.

He died in Hatfield, Hertfordshire on  21 February 1940, aged 87.
