Bluebird Toys plc was a British toy company. They are responsible for the Polly Pocket brand, Havok wargame and Disney Tiny Collection. Previous toy lines include Manta Force, Oh Penny, the British version of Oh Jenny from Matchbox Toys, Mighty Max and miniature Thomas and Friends sets.

Corporate history
Torquil Norman founded Bluebird Toys in 1980, his first product being the now famous Big Yellow Teapot House. This was one of the first 'container' houses which broke away from the traditional architectural style of dolls' houses in favour of this light and colourful family home. He is also famous for his Big Red Fun Bus and Big Jumbo Fun Plane, A La Carte Kitchen, Polly Pocket, Lucy Locket (A larger version of Polly Pocket) and the Mighty Max range, as well as the invention of the plastic lunch box.

Bluebird was an almost immediate success, coming within £18,000 of breaking even in its first year of business, on turnover of £1.25m. By 1983 turnover had reached £3.4, and in 1985 the company went public on the Unlisted Securities Market. The shares had reached 500p by 1987, before sliding back to 26p in 1991, when the company reported a hefty loss.

The company acquired Peter Pan Playthings in 1987 and Merit Toys in 1988.

The company was saved by the Polly Pocket range, introduced in 1989, which became a global phenomenon. By 1993, the shares were back up to 575p, and the next year Bluebird announced profits of £7m on sales of over £40m, rising again to £20m on turnover of £100m in 1994–95. This figure was dominated by Polly Pocket and Mighty Max, a parallel line for boys introduced in 1992, accounting between them for 87% of sales. Already by 1994 nearly three-quarters of Britain's 2 million girls aged between three and eight were estimated to own a Polly Pocket. The shares rose still further, trebling again by October 1995 when the company announced a licence for a new line of Disney characters in the pocket-size format, which became the Disney Tiny Collection series, and a new distribution deal with Mattel.

However, by 1997, Polly Pocket sales had fallen back, Mattel announced it would take no more of the existing stock until a reformat of the brand, and the share price was down to only a quarter of its previous peak value.

Financier Sir Ron Brierley's Guinness Peat Group made an unsolicited bid for the company in January 1998, but was outbid by Mattel acting as a white knight. Mattel swiftly went on to integrate Bluebird's products into its own lines, closing the headquarters in Swindon and offering redundancy packages to all those who were not offered relocation to the Mattel headquarters.

Jack Champion (born November 16, 2004) is an American actor. He is known for his role as Spider, a human teenager living on Pandora, who first appeared in Avatar: The Way of Water (2022). He also played Ethan Landry in the slasher film Scream VI (2023).

Life and career
Champion was born in November 2004, and is based out of Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. He was raised there by his mother, a microbiologist. He has credited her for encouraging his interest in acting. He began acting at age eight, starting in school theatre and eventually began working in short films. In 2015, he had a small role in the documentary series American Genius.

In 2017, Champion booked a screen test to join the cast of James Cameron's science fiction film Avatar: The Way of Water. Before he was cast in the role, he filmed a small part in the superhero film Avengers: Endgame (2019). He also had a leading role in the horror film The Night Sitter (2018). Champion booked his part in Avatar at age 12, after four months of extensive auditions. He was cast as Spider, a human teenager living amongst Na'vis on Pandora. The nature of Champion's role meant that he had to film all his scenes twice; his work involved two years of performance capture on a soundstage, followed by two and a half years of filming the same scenes in live-action in New Zealand. To maintain a muscular physique over the duration of filming, as his character appears shirtless throughout the film, he exercised extensively with a personal trainer and consumed a high-protein diet. He also learned freediving and scuba diving for scenes that were filmed underwater. After five years of production, the film was released in 2022, after Champion turned 18. It earned over $2 billion worldwide, becoming the third highest-grossing film of all time. Champion concurrently shot for the sequel, Avatar 3, which will release in 2025, and portions of Avatar 4, which will release in 2029. This was primarily done so that Champion would not age out of his role.

In 2023, Champion appeared alongside an ensemble cast in the slasher film Scream VI, playing the part of Ethan Landry. In contrast to his experience of working on Avatar, he described filming Scream VI as a "really fun summer vacation". He then played the son of star Liam Neeson's character in the action thriller Retribution, a remake of the 2015 Spanish film of the same name. Champion will next appear alongside an ensemble cast in Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's film Freaky Tales and in Jon S. Baird's family drama Everything's Going to Be Great.

Clutorius Priscus  (c. 20 BC – AD 21) was a Roman poet.

Priscus was paid an honorarium by the Roman Emperor Tiberius to produce a panegyric for his nephew and adopted son Germanicus upon his death in AD 19.

Two years later, Tiberius' son Drusus Julius Caesar fell ill but recovered. During that illness, Priscus prepared another panegyric in the hope of winning another payment. He read it to a small audience of men and women at the home of Publius Petronius in 21 AD. The consul elect Decimus Haterius Agrippa denounced him and called for him to be tried for a capital offense. Drusus himself, who had a reputation for excessive cruelty, presided over the Senate trial in the absence of the emperor at Capreae. Manius Aemilius Lepidus argued without success that the proposed death sentence was excessively harsh, given that the poem was not dangerous, merely tasteless and degrading. He also contended that a death sentence might lead Priscus to commit suicide, depriving the emperor of the ability to exercise clemency, as he often did. He suggested that Priscus be banished from Rome and have his property confiscated. The Senate supported Agrippa's position. Priscus was sentenced to death and immediately executed. Tiberius wrote a letter to the Senate following the execution of Priscus thanking them for their loyalty but expressing disapproval of their haste. This led to a revision of the law to require an interval of ten days between sentencing and execution.

Indirect presidential elections  were held in the Czech Republic on 20 January 1998 to elect a new President. The Parliament re-elected incumbent President Václav Havel in the second round. The arrest of an opposition candidate, Miroslav Sládek, was criticised by Havel's opponents.

Electoral system
President of the Czech Republic was elected indirectly by a joint session of the Czech Parliament. Each ballot can have at most three rounds. In the first round, a victorious candidate requires an absolute majority in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. Given a 200-seat Chamber and an 81-seat Senate, a successful first-round candidate requires 101 deputies and 41 senators.

If no single candidate gets a majority of both the Chamber and the Senate, a second round is then called for. At this stage, a candidate requires an absolute majority of merely those actually present at the time of voting in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. The actual number of votes required in the second round might be the same as in the first round, but it can be a little less, due to the absence of a few parliamentarians. Nevertheless, in this second round, a single candidate would need to win a majority in both the Chamber and the Senate.

Should no single candidate achieve a majority of both houses then present, a third round is necessitated. In this final round, which can happen within 14 days of the first round, an absolute majority of deputies and senators present suffices. At this stage, the individual houses of parliament are not considered separately. Assuming that all members of parliament are present, all that is required to win is 141 votes, regardless of the house of origin. If no candidate wins in the third round, another ballot has to be considered in a subsequent joint session of parliament. The process continues under the same rules until a candidate prevails.

Parties in parliament

Candidates
Václav Havel - The incumbent president of the Czech Republic. He was supported by coalition government (US, KDU-ČSL and ODA) and opposition Czech Social Democratic Party. He was also officially supported by ODS with which he was in conflict.
Stanislav Fischer - A candidate of Communist party and Member of Parliament.
Miroslav Sládek - A member of Parliament and leader of SPR-RSČ. He was in police custody at the time of election.

Results
Václav Havel received 130 votes in the first round and was the only candidate who qualified for the second round, as he gained the most votes in both chambers of parliament. There he received 146 votes of 279 and won by seven votes, but in the Chamber of Deputies he won by only one vote. This was controversial as Miroslav Sládek couldn't vote in the election due to his arrest. If Sládek had participated in the vote, Havel would probably have been elected in the third round. Sládek's Republican Party called Havel's victory illegal and refused to acknowledge it. The First Lady Dagmar Havlová whistled during a speech of a Republican MP Jan Vik.

Spodoptera praefica, the western yellow-striped armyworm, is a moth of the  family Noctuidae found from British Columbia to California, east to Utah, and north to Alberta.  it is absent from the EPPO (European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization) area, but is considered a high risk for invasion there.

The wingspan is . It is similar in appearance to Spodoptera ornithogalli, but S. praefica's fore-wings are paler and lack the blurry white stripe. The hind-wings of S. praefica are white or gray and have a small brown dot on the ventral side. Adults are on wing from March to April and from August to September.

The larvae are black with yellow stripes and an inverted "y" marking on the head. They feed on the leaves of various herbaceous plants including agricultural crops such as alfalfa, potato, rice, sugar beet, and sweet potato.

Pinar de Campoverde (Pine Forest in/of the Green Field literally) is a small village located at the foot of the Sierra de Escalona mountain range, nine kilometres from Pilar de la Horadada borough council, in the province of Alicante, Spain. The town has around 3000 inhabitants and is ten kilometres from the Mediterranean coastline.

History
The town has only developed since the mid-1980s when many British, German, French and Scandinavian expatriates settled in villas. Originally, the area had been a large pine forest, next to the Río Seco river and had little agricultural importance until much of the wooded area was cleared for orange and lemon groves. The name Pinar de Campoverde or Pinar de Campo Verde derives from the fact that the area was once pine woodland (Pinar) and its impression on its first residents was a 'green field' (Campo Verde)

Population and area
Since the recent advent of tourism, the majority of the population are expatriates, mainly from the United Kingdom and Germany. The traditional centre of the village is based on the two kilometre long Avenida del Pino which runs from the main Pilar de la Horadada-Orihuela road to the municipal sports fields (Polideportivo) at the Río Seco. This strip has numerous bars and restaurants, estate agents and shops. There is also a medical centre, dentist and veterinarian. On Sunday there is a small street market held in the centre of the village, close to the free car park.

The 'New' area, located to the west of the village has been in construction since the late 1990s and is almost exclusively inhabited by foreigners (although a few Spanish families do live amongst them). There is a second commercial area at the top of the village with a pharmacy and a few bars and shops, which have views across the countryside. Having been built on the side of the Rio Seco (dry river), the residential areas tend to be rather hilly and the 'old' area has very narrow footpaths in places. The Parque Central (Central Park) is located here.

The village has three supermarkets, a Spar in the Plaza at the entrance to the village and a British Overseas Supermarket on Avenida de Las Especias. The third is Jumerca Gama at the far end in the 'Old' area (closed 2022).

Trivia
Every street and avenue in the village takes its name from a plant, herb or horticultural zone. Examples include Calle Bosque (Forest Street), Calle Lavanda (Lavander Street), Calle Meloncotonero (Peach Tree Street), Calle Abedul (Birch Street) and Calle Cerezo (Cherry Tree Street).
The footpaths in the village are block paved in Verde (green).

A cutaneous nerve is a nerve that provides nerve supply to the skin.

Human anatomy

In human anatomy, cutaneous nerves are primarily responsible for providing sensory innervation to the skin.  In addition to sympathetic and autonomic afferent (sensory) fibers, most cutaneous nerves also contain sympathetic efferent (visceromotor) fibers, which innervate cutaneous blood vessels, sweat glands, and the arrector pilli muscles of hair follicles. These structures are important to the sympathetic nervous response.

There are many cutaneous nerves  in the human body, only some of which are named.
Some of the larger cutaneous nerves are as follows:

Upper body

 In the arm (proper)
 Superior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (Superior LCNOA)
 Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (Inferior LCNOA)
 Posterior cutaneous nerve of arm (PCNOA)
 Medial cutaneous nerve of arm (MCNOA)
