Pow! () is a 2003 novel by the Chinese author and Nobel laureate Mo Yan. The novel's protagonist is Luo Xiaotong, a village boy with a passion for story-telling. It is set in a temple, where Luo recounts the story of his life to an old monk. He describes the difficult circumstances of his childhood in the "Slaughterhouse Village," a fictional town in which the population is obsessed with the consumption of meat and where corruption is rife.
 
The novel has been interpreted as an allegorical commentary on the state of contemporary Chinese society, though Mo himself maintains that he is merely a storyteller, uninterested in ideology.

Bridges No. L-5853 and 92247 are two side-by-side bridges in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. They were built in 1904 over the Como-Harriet streetcar line, connecting the nearby Twin City Rapid Transit Company station to the line running west to Minneapolis; Bridge No. 92247 carries traffic on Lexington Avenue over the tracks and Bridge No. L-5853 carried pedestrians; the latter is an example of an early reinforced concrete arch bridge, using the Melan reinforcing system by the William S. Hewett & Company of Minneapolis.

The bridges were evaluated as part of the Reinforced-Concrete Highway Bridges in Minnesota MPS and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Tassiloa is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has two species.

Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed in 2015 by lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Ingvar Kärnefelt, Arne Thell, Elix and Jae-Seoun Hur. According to their molecular phylogenetic analysis, Tassiloa appears as a sister group to the genus Catenarina, in the subfamily Teloschistoideae of family Teloschistaceae. The genus name honours German lichenologist Tassilo Feuerer.

Description
Tassiloa is identifiable by its vibrant orange colouration. Its thallus can range from a crustose appearance to a more elevated,  form. The surface of the thallus may be either smooth or have a denser texture. This genus is further characterized by  that are reminiscent of terete (i.e., cylindrical or slightly tapering) isidia in structure. These lobules or isidia stand out predominantly and align vertically. When considering reproductive attributes, the  of Tassiloa can be categorized as either  or . Its  has a  tissue structure. In terms of chemistry, Tassiloa contains anthraquinones, notably those linked with the parietin .

Habitat and distribution
Tassiloa digitaurea is found growing on rock surfaces, detritus, and even over other lichen species. These habitats are typically located within exposed outcrops amidst shrub vegetation and grasslands in coastal regions. Notably, while they are found in coastal areas, their habitats are not strictly maritime. T. wetmorei is parasitic (lichenicolous), targeting various host lichens found on non-calcareous rocks.

Tassiloa species are native to both the American continents. T. digitaurea is identified in southern Patagonia. Meanwhile, T. wetmorei has been recorded in the Sonoran Desert located in southwestern North America.

Species

Abdullah Tahiri (September 2, 1956 – 1999) was an Albanian born in Malishevë, a village located in Gjilan. He was an Albanian leader in the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Education
Tahiri attended primary school until 1975, at which point he left because of "hostile activities" against the state. His secondary education continued in Bujanovac, but he was expelled after helping organize demonstrations in the spring of 1981.

Political activity
Tahiri was one of the organizers of the 1981 protests that took place on March 11, 1981, in Pristina. While many believed the protest to be spontaneous, it was in fact planned and organized by Gani Koci, Bajram Kosumi, and others. On 1–2 April 1981, organized demonstrations began, asking for recognition of a Kosovar Republic. Tahiri organized his fellow citizens around his ideology of freeing Kosovo from Serbian influence.

Tahiri was the OZK (Operative Zone of Karadak) founder of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the first commander of OZK Regulation (military force). He became a Major General in the military force and Tahiri had been active in the leadership of the Union of Political Parties of Gjilan () that acted as a unique body.

Tahiri was later jailed and sentenced to four years imprisonment.

Death 
Tahiri's body lies in the cemetery of martyrs in Gjilan.

Open Options Corporation is a privately owned business strategy consulting company that specializes in applied game theory and business war games where there are multiple stakeholders who can all influence the final outcome of a particular situation.

Open Options’ original software development was funded by the CIA through a company called Waterloo Engineering Software. The software was designed to help the American government better anticipate the collapse of the Soviet Union into many different breakaway republics. The software was based on academic research by Dr. Niall Fraser from the University of Waterloo. Dr. Fraser has written several books on game theory including Mathematical Modeling of Resolutions of Conflict and Conflict Analysis: Models and Resolutions. Open Options is led by Canadian Engineer, Management Scientist and businessman Tim Jeske.

Open Options uses a type of game theory called Ordinal Non-cooperative Game Theory which is a less well-known sub-section of game theory. However, this approach and proprietary software enables Open Options to analyze millions of possible outcomes.

Léon Gastinel (15 August 1823 – 18 October 1906) was a French composer.

Career
He attended the Paris Conservatoire where he studied with Fromental Halévy and was awarded the Grand Prix de Rome in 1846 for his cantata Valasquez. While relatively unknown today, Gastinel wrote two complete masses, two symphonies and four oratorios, and chamber music including at least two string sextets. He was most prolific, however, in his works for the stage, which include the ballet Le Rêve (1890, chor. Joseph Hansen, Paris Opera) and the operas Le Miroir (1853), L'Opéra aux fenêtres (1857) and Titus et Bérénice (1860).

The 1980 Glasgow Central by-election was a by-election held on 26 June 1980 for the British House of Commons constituency of Glasgow Central, following the death of its sitting MP, Thomas McMillan.

On a turnout of 48%, the Labour Party held the seat.

Background

Labour had held the seat for 30 years, having won it at the 1950 general election. McMillan had been the MP for the seat since 1966.

Candidates
This was the last parliamentary by-election in England, Scotland or Wales not contested by an official candidate of either the Liberal Party, the SDP, or their successor party the Liberal Democrats; until the 2008 Haltemprice and Howden by-election. The Social Democrat candidate had no connection to the SDP (which wasn't created until 1981) and achieved the lowest vote for any candidate in a Parliamentary election under universal suffrage, a record later surpassed by the five votes obtained by independent campaigner Bill Boaks in the Glasgow Hillhead by-election of March 1982.

Because there was no official candidate, Liberal Party member Graham Watson offered himself as a candidate sponsored by the Scottish Young Liberals. He later became a Member of the European Parliament and leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group in the European Parliament.

As a seat considered safe for Labour, there was little surprise when its candidate Bob McTaggart was declared victor, with 60.8% of the votes cast. Both of his closest rivals were later elected to sit in British parliaments: Gil Paterson, representing the Scottish National Party, was elected as a delegate for Central Scotland in the first sitting of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, while Conservative Anna McCurley won the Renfrew West and Inverclyde seat in the general election of 1983. McCurley was at the time a member of Strathclyde Regional Council, to which she had been elected in 1978, and had unsuccessfully contested West Stirlingshire for the Conservatives at the previous general election.

While Labour won, the good performance of the SNP was described by The Glasgow Herald as the "surprise of the night" and the newspaper argued it mark their return "to the political stage" and that "both the major parties... were shaken" by the SNP's share of the vote.

Sleeman is an unincorporated community located in Rainy River District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The town site is located in the center of Dawson. The original town site was along the Rainy River some 3 km south but in the early 1900s when the steam ships that traveled from Fort Frances to Rainy River and then to Rat Portage Via Lake of the Woods carrying Logs, Lumber, mail and other supplies stopped probably because the Canadian Northern Railway had finished its bridge and rail line from Winnipeg to International Falls and the docks of the great lakes located in Fort William and Port Arthur now known as Thunder Bay the town moved from the river to the rail line. The original store, coffee shop, post office building still stands today and has been renovated into a home. The town for many years held many stores, a large hotel, coffee shops, car dealership, school and a busy rail depot that served the Northern communities along Highway 621.  A restaurant called The Green Onion was the local favourite. It was open 7 days a week and held indoor livery stables below for the travels from Morson who came to town to meet the trains, liquor was served here as well. Today there is only one business left, the Canada Postal outlet.  Lowes Lumber, a local business for over 80 years went into bankruptcy and closed its doors in 2014.  Only about 20 homes remain, even though an official town plan was made to accommodate many more. The rail siding was removed in 1993, the last of the CN hotel burned away in the late 1980s and the grocery store was demolished when the natural gas line was installed to serve the larger communities along Highway 11.

The township of Dawson was formed on 1 January 1997, when the former incorporated townships of Atwood, Blue, Dilke, and Worthington were amalgamated.

Climate
As recorded by John Trenchard (late) weather observer for Environment Canada from 1964 to 1991.
