William Bentley Inman (born February 6, 1987 in Danville, Virginia) is an American professional baseball pitcher.

Career
Inman is from Danville, Virginia. Prior to playing professionally, he attended Tunstall High School in Dry Fork, Virginia. He received a scholarship to attend Auburn University.

Inman was drafted in the third round of the 2005 amateur draft by the Milwaukee Brewers, beginning his professional career that season. He split the year between the Helena Brewers and AZL Brewers, going a combined 6–0 with a 1.91 ERA in 14 games (five starts). He struck out 59 batters in 47 innings of work. In 2006, he pitched for the West Virginia Power, going 10–2 with a 1.71 ERA in 23 games (20 starts) and striking out 134 batters in 110 innings of work. His 134 strikeouts were the most strikeouts in a single season in West Virginia Power history, until Tyler Glasnow broke his record in 2013.

Before the 2007 season, Baseball America named Inman the 91st best baseball prospect. He began the season in the Brewers organization, playing for the Brevard County Manatees and Huntsville Stars. However, on July 25, he was traded with Joe Thatcher and minor leaguer Steve Garrison for relief pitcher Scott Linebrink. He finished the season with the San Antonio Missions in the Padres system. Overall, he went 8–11 with a 3.28 ERA in 28 games started, striking out 180 batters in 159 innings.

He pitched for the Missions again in 2008, going 9–8 with a 3.52 ERA in 28 starts, striking out 140 batters in 135 innings. He appeared in the Texas League All-Star Game and All-Star Futures Game that season. His 2009 season was split between the Missions and Portland Beavers, and he went a combined 7–9 with a 4.79 ERA in 27 starts. He began the 2010 season with the Portland Beavers, but underwent ulnar nerve transposition during the season.

On November 22, 2011, Inman signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox. After pitching for the Pawtucket Red Sox during the 2012 season, he became a free agent, and signed with the Tampa Bay Rays for the 2013 season, receiving a non-roster invitation to spring training. On July 1, 2013, Inman was released by the Rays. He went 0–2 with a 6.47 ERA in 21 appearances covering 32 innings, striking out 25 for Triple-A Durham.

Readicide: How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It is a 2009 non-fiction book by high school teacher and author Kelly Gallagher.

Description
The book documents how teachers tend to stop students from enjoying reading by mainly focusing on tests. Gallagher believes that students should be both readers and critical thinkers of what they are reading. However, Gallagher criticizes both extremes of the approaches to teaching reading. The term readicide is defined as  the "systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in our schools." A large portion of the book details how Gallagher teaches the activity of reading to his students.

Banana passionfruit (Passiflora supersect. Tacsonia), also known as taxo and curuba, is a group of around 64 Passiflora species found in South America. Most species in this section are found in high elevation cloud forest habitats. Flowers have a cylindrical hypanthium.

Species

Invasive species
P. tarminiana and P. tripartita thrive in the climate of New Zealand. They are invasive species since they can smother forest margins and forest regrowth. It is illegal to sell, cultivate and distribute the plants.

Banana passionfruit vines are now smothering more than  of native forest on the islands of Hawaii and Kauai. Seeds are spread by feral pigs, birds and humans.  The vine can also be found all across the highlands of New Guinea and Tasmania.

EuroHit is a card game designed by Chris Baylis that was published by FCB & Associates in 1992. It was republished as Assassin by Avalon Hill in 1994.

Gameplay

The game has the following components:
 a 54-card Destination deck
 a 181-card deck (23 special cards, 13 hazards, 93 kilometre distance cards, 52 transport cards)
 6 player tokens
 a map

The players act as hit men who are also tour guides for important dignitaries. As the tour guides travel across Europe, players either use or secretly pass the Hitman card to other players. Players score points by avoiding the Hit Man player when not the Hit Man, and by hitting other players' tourists while holding the Hit Man card.

There are four "machine gun" cards in the deck that must be placed faceup on the table as soon as they are drawn. When the fourth machine gun is drawn, the game immediately ends, and the player with the most points wins.

Publication history
EuroHit was originally published in the UK in 1992. The game rights were purchased by Avalon Hill, which published the game with a modified ruleset under the title Assassin in North America in 1994.

Reception
In the April 1994 edition of Dragon (Issue #204), Lester W. Smith reviewed the original EuroHit game. He criticized the quality of the physical components as "terrible", but thought the game itself was fun.

In Vol.29, No. 3 of The General, David Curry found Avalon Hill's rewrite of the rules left some ambiguities, sometimes stranded players between two cities, and provided too little interaction between the players. Curry suggested several rule changes to improve the game.

Matthæus Yrsselius or Irsselius, the Latinized form of Mattheus van Iersel (1541–1629), was abbot of St. Michael's Abbey, Antwerp, from 1614 until his death. He was remembered as a patron of the arts and sciences.

Patronage
In 1624, he commissioned an altarpiece depicting the Adoration of the Magi from Peter Paul Rubens, paying for it in two installments of 750 guilders each in 1624 and 1626.

In 1627, the students of the Jesuit college in Antwerp put on a school play dramatizing the life of Norbert of Xanten, dedicating the production to Yrsselius.

At his death, Yrsselius bequeathed a celestial and a terrestrial globe, a cosmographic sphere, and an edition of the works of St Gregory the Great to the abbey library.

Carinatae is the group of all birds and their extinct relatives to possess a keel, or "carina", on the underside of the breastbone used to anchor large flight muscles.

Classification

Definition
Traditionally, Carinatae were defined as all birds whose sternum (breast bone) has a keel (carina). The keel is a strong median ridge running down the length of the sternum. This is an important area for the attachment of flight muscles. Thus, all flying birds have a pronounced keel. Ratites, all of which are flightless, lack a strong keel. Thus, living birds were divided into carinatae (keeled) and ratites (from ratis, "raft", referring to the flatness of the sternum). The difficulty with this scheme phylogenetically was that some flightless birds, without strong keels, are descended directly from ordinary flying birds possessing one. Examples include the kakapo, a flightless parrot, and the dodo, a columbiform (the pigeon family). Neither of these birds are a ratite. Thus, this supposedly distinctive feature was easy to use, but had nothing to do with actual phylogenetic relationship.

Beginning in the 1980s, Carinatae was given several phylogenetic definitions. The first was as a node-based clade uniting Ichthyornis with modern birds. However, in many analyses, this definition would be synonymous with the more widely used name Ornithurae. An alternate definition was provided in 2001, naming Carinatae an apomorphy-based clade defined by the presence of a keeled sternum.

The most primitive known bird relative with a keeled breastbone is Confuciusornis. While some specimens of this stem-bird have flat breastbones, some show a small ridge that could have supported a cartilaginous keel.

Luari Sharif, also spelled Lowari, is a town and union council in Shaheed Fazil Rahu taluka of Badin District, Sindh. As of 2017, it has a population of 9,527, in 1,907 households. It is the site of the shrine of Hazrat Khawaja Muhammad Zaman, one of the most revered religious figures in Sindh. The shrine, among the oldest in Sindh, was closed for 37 years due to a custodianship dispute before being reopened in January 2020. This hindered renovation and maintenance of the shrine, which it especially needed after suffering substantial damage during the 2011 Sindh floods. A 2015 attempt by the Auqaf department had been cancelled after tension escalated between the two rival groups, leading to one person being shot and killed. The successful 2020 reopening of the shrine took place without incident, with law enforcement officers on standby, and Auqaf Secretary Munawwar Mahesar unlocked the shrine's main entrance. The shrine is open to women in the mornings and to men in the evenings.

Joseph Knabl (17 July 1819 – 3 November 1881) was an Austrian sculptor who specialized in religious statuary.

Early years and studies
Knabl was born at Fliess, Tyrol, to a peasant family.  He tended cattle as a boy, but showed an early aptitude for wood-carving.  He was apprenticed to Franz Renn, an Imst woodcarver, after which he studied ancient German wood-carving at Munich under J. Otto Entres. Later he worked in the studio of Anselm Sickinger. In 1859 he entered the art institute of Mayer.

Career
After completing his formal studies Knabl toured extensively through Middle Europe and became intimately acquainted with the finest examples of ecclesiastical sculpture.  He then began producing similar works.  In 1859, he became a professor at the polytechnical school of the Verein für Hebung des Gewerbes. In 1863 he was made professor of ecclesiastical sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, in recognition of his principal work in the Munich Frauenkirche, The Coronation of the Virgin.  That work depicts the Virgin Mary in larger-than-life size at the center of the high altar, surrounded by 6 worshipping angels.  She is being crowned by the Holy Trinity, while forms of saints and angels appear in the framework.

Because of the nature of his sculptures, Knabl is considered a Romantic artist.  His sculptures are strongly evocative of German Middle Ages output. His work at the Mayer Institute, where he not only produced numerous drawings and sketches, but also trained capable scholars, furthered the diffusion of a cultivated taste in religious art. Most of his works are in Bavaria (Munich, Haidhausen, Passau, Eichstadt, Velden), but there are also some in Stuttgart, Mergentheim, and in other places. The subjects are: "Christ and the Apostles", "Christ on the Cross", several single statues of the Madonna (one for Lord Acton), the Madonna in a group, St. Anne (much admired at the Munich Exposition of 1858 on account of its artistic draping). A group of St. Afra (Augsburg) was the first of the artist's works to attract attention.

Knabl was married.  His son Karl (1850–1904) was a successful landscape and genre painter.
