Newbold Verdon Hall was an 18th-century country house, later a farmhouse, in the village of Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire, England. It is a Grade I listed building.

The house was built for Nathaniel Crew, 3rd Baron Crew, Bishop of Durham, but has been modified and extended several times since then. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and has large hipped plain tiled roof with a flat top. It is built to a 2-storey double pile plan of 5 by 3 bays with basement and attic. It is approached from the end of the village main street through a forecourt with 3 pavilions (formerly 4) in the corners and was originally surrounded by a wide moat.

History
Sir Thomas Crewe, Speaker of the House of Commons, had purchased the estate in 1625, after which it had passed down to Nathaniel Crew, who died in 1721 with no children. He left the estate to his great-nephew James Montagu, MP for Chippenham and Camelford.

James made many improvements to the house and grounds. On his death in 1748 the property passed to his cousin, the diplomat Sir Edward Wortley-Montagu, MP of Wortley Hall, Yorkshire. He died in 1761 and his wife, the celebrated writer Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a year later, leaving Newbold Verdon (but no money) to their errant son, the traveller Edward Wortley Montagu. He sold the house in 1767 to pay his gambling debts and moved to live in the Middle East. The house was afterwards owned by the Cradock-Hartopp family until the 20th century.

By the 19th century, however, the building was being used as a rented farmhouse and renamed Hall Farm. In 1965 it belonged in turn to Mr. J.G. Selkirk and his son Ian.

Hippolyte Emmanuel Boulenger (3 December 1837 – 4 July 1874) was a Belgian landscape painter influenced by the French Barbizon school, considered to be "the Belgian Corot".

Biography
Hippolyte Boulenger was born to French parents in Tournai in 1837. He spent his youth in Tournai and lived in Paris between 1850 and 1853, where he studied drawing. In 1853, after he became an orphan, he went to Brussels to work at a design atelier. In the evening, he studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts with Joseph Quinaux, a landscape painter.

He met portrait painter Camille van Camp in 1863, who became a mentor and mecenas. He showed his first painting in the Brussels Salon the same year. Boulenger went to Tervuren in 1864, and called round him a group of likeminded painters gathered there, the School van Tervuren, a Belgian version of the Barbizon school, of which he became the leading artist. At the time, his leading model was Jean-François Millet, although his later work was closer to that of Corot. By 1866, he was famous in Belgian art circles.

He married in 1868 and moved to Zaventem, but returned to Tervuren in 1870. These years were his best and most fruitful period, with e.g. the painting De oude Haagbeukdreef. Tervuren, which won him the Gold Medal of the 1872 Salon of Brussels. In this period, he travelled in Belgium and abroad, painting along the River Meuse. It was his suggestion that led to the creation of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts, an art circle of young Belgian artists, including Alfred Verwee, Félicien Rops, and Constantin Meunier, with honorary members from abroad like Corot and Millet, but also Honoré Daumier, Gustave Courbet and Willem Maris.

By 1869, he began to suffer from epilepsy. Coupled with alcohol abuse, this led to an early death, in 1874 in a hotel in Brussels.

Algorism is the technique of performing basic arithmetic by writing numbers in place value form and applying a set of memorized rules and facts to the digits. One who practices algorism is known as an algorist. This positional notation system has largely superseded earlier calculation systems that used a different set of symbols for each numerical magnitude, such as Roman numerals, and in some cases required a device such as an abacus.

Etymology
The word algorism comes from the name Al-Khwārizmī (c. 780–850), a Persian mathematician, astronomer, geographer and scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, whose name means "the native of Khwarezm", which is now in modern-day Uzbekistan. He wrote a treatise in Arabic language in the 9th century, which was translated into Latin in the 12th century under the title Algoritmi de numero Indorum. This title means "Algoritmi on the numbers of the Indians", where "Algoritmi" was the translator's Latinization of Al-Khwarizmi's name. Al-Khwarizmi was the most widely read mathematician in Europe in the late Middle Ages, primarily through his other book, the Algebra. In late medieval Latin, algorismus, the corruption of his name, simply meant the "decimal number system" that is still the meaning of modern English algorism. During the 17th century, the French form for the word – but not its meaning – was changed to algorithm, following the model of the word logarithm, this form alluding to the ancient Greek . English adopted the French very soon afterwards, but it wasn't until the late 19th century that "algorithm" took on the meaning that it has in modern English. In English, it was first used about 1230 and then by Chaucer in 1391. Another early use of the word is from 1240, in a manual titled Carmen de Algorismo composed by Alexandre de Villedieu. It begins thus:

which translates as:

The word algorithm also derives from algorism, a generalization of the meaning to any set of rules specifying a computational procedure. Occasionally algorism is also used in this generalized meaning, especially in older texts.

History
Starting with the integer arithmetic developed in India using base 10 notation, Al-Khwārizmī along with other mathematicians in medieval Islam, documented new arithmetic methods and made many other contributions to decimal arithmetic (see the articles linked below). These included the concept of the decimal fractions as an extension of the notation, which in turn led to the notion of the decimal point. This system was popularized in Europe by Leonardo of Pisa, now known as Fibonacci.

Michael Stephen Lehmann (born March 30, 1957) is an American film and television director known for directing the dark comedy Heathers.

Early life and education
In 1978, Lehmann graduated from Columbia University.

Lehmann is of Jewish descent.

Career 
Lehmann's first job in the film industry was answering phones at Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope film company. Later he supervised cameras on films that included 1983's The Outsiders. Lehmann attended film school at the USC School of Cinematic Arts and graduated in 1985. While at USC he made a student film, The Beaver Gets a Boner, the title of which he believes helped get the attention of film executives who would later hire him.

A short film by Lehmann, titled "Ed's Secret Life (An Unauthorized Biography)", was shown on Saturday Night Live. Purportedly about Mister Ed's post-career life, William Schallert, Mick Fleetwood, and Heather Locklear appeared in it.

Lehmann is most known for directing the dark comedy Heathers. He also directed 40 Days and 40 Nights, The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Hudson Hawk, Meet the Applegates, Airheads and Because I Said So.

Lehmann directed his first television commercial through the Leo Burnett Company in June 1996 for McDonald's. Lehmann also directs for television, and has worked on The Comeback and The West Wing. Lehmann directed episodes of The Larry Sanders Show, Watching Ellie, Century City, Big Love, True Blood, Californication, Wonderfalls, White Famous, Betas, American Horror Story, Snowfall, Veronica Mars, and 68 Whiskey.

Lehmann said that he never would make a sequel to Heathers and that Winona Ryder wanted to do Heathers set in Washington, D.C., but he saw no potential for the project.

Bryn Cader Faner is a Bronze Age round cairn which lies to the east of the small hamlet of Talsarnau in the Ardudwy area of Gwynedd in Wales. The diameter is  and there are 18 thin jagged pillars which jut upwards from the low cairn. It is thought to date back to the late third millennium BC.
The site was disturbed by 19th-century treasure hunters, who left a hole in the centre, indicating the position of a cist or a grave. Originally there may have been about 30 pillars, each some  long. However, before the Second World War, the British Army used the site for gunnery practice. The Army damaged many of the stones on the east side.

Bryn Cader Faner is thought to mean 'the hill with the chair with the flag' or 'the hill of the throne with the flag'.

"The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" is a Spider-Man story written by Roger Stern, originally published in The Amazing Spider-Man #248 in 1984. In the story, a young fan of Spider-Man meets his hero.

This comic was selected as one of the "Top 10 Spider-Man stories of all time" by Wizard and is regarded as among the most-loved Spider-Man stories.

Plot
Young Timothy "Tim" Harrison lies in his bed. Portions from a column by Daily Bugle writer Jacob Conover say Tim is the greatest Spider-Man fan in the world and has collected every article available on him, including a whole album of The Daily Bugle retractions. Tim has also collected mementos such as kinescopes of Spider-Man's early television appearances and bullets from a crime foiled by Spider-Man. Suddenly, Spider-Man comes into Tim's room. In the following hours, the two trade anecdotes about Spider-Man's long career. The hero is surprised and touched by how much the boy adores him.

When Spider-Man is about to leave, Tim asks him who he really is. After some hesitation, Spider-Man takes off his mask, identifies himself as Peter Parker, and retells the fateful night when his negligence let Uncle Ben die, causing him to fight crime. The story does not change Tim's admiration of his hero. A tearful Peter Parker embraces Tim (who refers to him as "Pete") and departs. An exterior view reveals Tim is staying in a cancer clinic. The last of the newspaper captions states that the boy's only wish is to meet his hero in person. Conover ends his report by stating his hope that "Spider-Man takes the time to visit a very brave young man named Tim Harrison, and I hope he does it soon. You see, Tim Harrison has leukemia, and the doctors only give him a few more weeks to live".

Background
The lead story of Amazing #248 is Spider-Man's fight against Thunderball, but Stern's backup story is remembered much better than the main tale. According to Stern:

Tim Harrison's death is mentioned in Danny Fingeroth and Ron Garney's "A Spider-Man Carol", in which Spider-Man meets Tim's brother Joey. The story was published in the 1991 Marvel Holiday Special.

Collected editions
The story has been reprinted several times and collected in various trade paperbacks including The Very Best of Spider-Man (December 1994, ).

Lincoln Correctional Facility was a United States minimum-security men's prison located at 31–33 West 110th Street in Manhattan, New York, facing the north side of Central Park. It was used primarily as a work-release center for drug offenders; however, around 5% of the roughly 275 inmates it housed were white collar criminals, sometimes for work release.

History 
Before opening as a prison in 1976, the building was used as a branch of the Young Women's Hebrew Association (YWHA) and for housing recently immigrated Jewish women in need of assistance, beginning in 1914. In 1942 it was sold to the U.S. Army and briefly used as a rest-and-relaxation center for local soldiers during World War II, after which it was occupied by the experimental New Lincoln School, and the Northside Center for Child Development, which conducted research in psychology.

It was announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo on May 17, 2019, that the facility would close on September 1st as part of the 2020 State Budget that was approved on April 1. When it closed, there was speculation that it would be sold and turned into condos, affordable housing, or a women's jail, although its status is unknown as of 2022.

The Ritharrngu (Ritharrŋu, Ritharngu) and also known as the Diakui (and variant spellings), are an Aboriginal Australian people of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, of the Yolŋu group of peoples. Their clans are Wagilak and Manggura (of the Dhuwa moiety), and Ritharrŋu (of the Yirritja moiety).

Language
The Ritharrŋu language is a Yolŋu Matha language. In modern times Ritharrŋu has been observed to be undergoing significant structural changes away from Yolŋu, with innovations in its morphosyntaxis through assimilation of features characteristic of Nunggubuyu and Ŋandi.

Country
The Ritharrŋu are estimated to have landed estates extending over approximately  east and south of the Arafura Swamp. They also inhabit the area east of the Goyder River, whose tributaries' headwaters form their southernmost frontier. They also inhabit the area around the Mitchell Ranges and the Koolatong River headwaters.

Wagilak are amongst the clans living at Ŋukurr (formerly Roper River Mission).

Social organisation
The Ritharrŋu are organised into three clans, two pertaining to the Dhuwa moiety and one to the Yirritja moiety of the Yolŋu people.

Dhuwa moieties.

William Vincent Hoare (27 May 1876 – 1955) was an American professional golfer of English descent. Hoare finished in fifth place in the 1897 U.S. Open and placed tied for sixth in the 1898 U.S. Open, held at Myopia Hunt Club in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. He was one of the founding members of the PGA of America, representing the Central States Section.

Early life
Hoare was born in England on 27 May 1876. At age 21 he emigrated to the United States sailing aboard the RMS Aurania from Liverpool and arrived in New York on 4 June 1896. On 26 May 1906 he married Bertha Marie Weidinger in Chicago, Illinois. In 1896 and 1897 he served as the head professional of the Philadelphia Cricket Club.

Golf career

U.S. Open
In the 1896 U.S. Open, Hoare posted rounds of 90-81=171 finishing alone in 15th place. He improved on that effort when he carded rounds of 82-87=169 and finished in fifth place at the 1897 U.S. Open, winning $10 in prize money. He had rounds of 84-84-87-87=342 and tied for sixth place in the 1898 U.S. Open, held at Myopia Hunt Club in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, winning no prize money for his effort.

Hoare was a long hitter of the golf ball. In a driving contest prior to the 1899 U.S. Open he won with a long drive measuring 269 yards 7 feet 6 inches. His drive was unusually long for the day as the gutta-percha ball was still in use at that time. Henry Gullane finished second with a drive of 264 yards 2 feet 9 inches.

Club professional
One of his first jobs as a club professional was at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in 1896. In 1915 he was the manager of the Hot Springs Golf and Country Club in Hot Springs, Arkansas, but by September 1918, near the conclusion of World War I, he was posted at the Omaha Country Club in Omaha, Nebraska. Later, in 1921, he was playing out of the Tedesco Country Club in Marblehead, Massachusetts.

PGA of America founding member
He was one of the founding members of the PGA of America in 1916 and later worked as an executive for the Wilson Sporting Goods company. He was a member of the PGA's first executive committee and served as a vice-president representing the Central States Section while serving as a professional in Memphis, Tennessee. He also worked for the Spalding company and was a prolific club maker, with unique markings on the clubs of his design.

Golf club patent
On 2 September 1941 he was issued a patent, number 2,254,528, for a new golf club design. He had first applied for the patent on 21 September 1939.

Death and legacy
Hoare died in 1955 in Pinellas County, Florida.
