Stanley Ferens (March 5, 1915 – October 7, 1994), nicknamed "Lefty", was an American professional baseball pitcher who appeared in 53 total games in Major League Baseball for the St. Louis Browns in  and . Born in Wendel, Pennsylvania, the southpaw was a switch-hitter who stood  and weighed .

Ferens' pro career lasted from 1937 through 1947, although he missed the 1943–1945 seasons. Acquired by the American League Browns after he won 19 games and lost only five for the 1941 Columbus Foxes of the Sally League, he appeared in 19 games, 16 as a relief pitcher, for the 1942 Brownies, who finished in third place in the Junior Circuit with an 82–69 record. Ferens won three games, lost four and posted an earned run average of 3.78 in 69 innings pitched. In 1946, he returned to the Browns but was less effective, winning only two of 11 decisions with a mediocre 4.50 ERA in 88 innings. He returned to the minor leagues for the 1947 campaign before leaving baseball.

Over his two MLB seasons, Ferens won five games and lost 13, with a career earned run average of 4.18. He made only nine starts among his 53 appearances, but hurled two complete games. He had no career saves or shutouts. In his 157 career innings pitched, Ferens allowed 73 earned runs, 176 hits and 59 bases on balls; he struck out 51.

The Simca Profissional was a successor to the Simca Alvorada, which was itself a stripped version of the entry level Simca Chambord. Simca do Brasil had responded reluctantly to the demand by the Brazilian government of president Juscelino Kubitschek that every car manufacturer must offer an affordable basic version within their range. The idea was to give as many Brazilians as possible the opportunity to own a car.

New incentive, new version
In 1965, the Brazilian government created a new public financing tool through its publicly owned bank Caixa Econômica Federal that would allow Brazilians to finance their vehicle over four years with a monthly interest rate of 1%. This obviously was to attract a new range of clients and Simca do Brasil looked into how to make the Alvorada even cheaper in order to make it attractive for, for example for taxicab drivers.

Plastic replaces leather
The Simca Profissional appeared in 1965 with three colour options (yellow, green and cream white), no chrome (even the bumpers were painted in dark gray, no trimmings), the already very simple interior of the Alvorada was downscaled further with plastic seat covers and the door covers were dark and naked cardboard screwed onto the metal. But the Profissional was 30% cheaper than its far posher brother, the all chrome and leather Simca Chambord. The production numbers of this version apparently were never documented and, unlike the Simca Alvorada, the Simca Profissional had no distinct range of chassis numbers so that this version is mixed in with  the production figures cited for the Simca Chambord.

Hope International was an independent organization, operated by members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It published Our Firm Foundation magazine and ran camp meetings focused on conservative Adventist messages, originally based on Eatonville, WA, then Knoxville, IL. The magazine has ceased and the website is inactive. A commercial website claiming Hope International's legacy sells “natural” health supplements and advice out of Marshall, NC. In its heyday, Hope International was criticized by the official Adventist church for being disruptive.

History 
Hope International was founded in 1964 by church lay members from the Seattle, Washington area. They were concerned about the future of Adventist beliefs, following discussions with conservative Christians and the resulting publication of Questions on Doctrine in the mid-1950s. They purchased land near Eatonville.

According to historian Gary Land, the organization "had no real impact on Adventism" until a retired minister named Ron Spear became actively involved as a leader in 1985. He initiated the magazine Our Firm Foundation, wrote several books, and organized the group's own annual camp meetings. The writings promoted historic Adventism.

The Seventh-day Adventist church issued statements of concern about Hope International in 1992 and 2000.

Our Firm Foundation 
Hope International published the bimonthly magazine Our Firm Foundation. According to Alden Thompson, it "is the theological heir to the perfectionism of the 'old' Adventist Review (era of Kenneth H. Wood), though its strident criticism of mainstream Adventism has alienated many who would share its theological perspective."

Giorgio De Vincenzi (1884–1965), was an Italian painter and etcher. He was a versatile artist, using diverse techniques and specialised in landscapes and portraiture.

Short biography and analysis
Born in Ferrara in December 1884, De Vincenzi did not follow a normal course of academic studies, but for a period attended the studio of the Italian painter Nicola Laurenti, where he also befriended Jewish artist Roberto Melli and painter-poet Filippo De Pisis.

His artistic production is well known nationally and is mostly dedicated to landscapes and female portraits. However, in his first artistic phase, De Vincenzi liked to paint his hometown's gardens and medieval walls, ideally anticipating the setting of Giorgio Bassani's books about Ferrara and its people suffering from racist persecution — later to become famous in movies such as The Garden of the Finzi-Continis by Vittorio de Sica.

Around 1928-1929 De Vincenzi moved to Bologna, where he died in 1965, after a lifetime of painting outside the contemporary parametres of the first half of the 20th century – in fact, De Vincenzi was not influenced by the various and changing currents of the period, but affirmed his own pictorial personality and experimented with new techniques.

His landscapes were well received by Italian art critics, and praised for their chromatic contrasts and poetic tones. His style was at times compared to Van Gogh's and Utrillo's, but with a specifically idiosyncratic trait.

Berycopsis is an extinct genus of beardfish from the Cretaceous period. Fossils are known from England.

It was about  long and one of the first members of the Acanthopterygii, the group that includes the present day barracuda, swordfish, seahorses, and flatfish. Like its modern relatives, the first fin rays in the dorsal and anal fins were modified into defensive spines, and the pelvic fins were located close to the pectoral fins. Berycopsis was one of the earliest fish known to have these features, which are widespread today.

Pavonini is a tribe of bird in the subfamily Phasianinae. Members of this family are primarily found in tropical Asia, along with one species in the Congo Rainforest in Africa. It contains two of the most charismatic members of the Phasianidae, the peafowl and the arguses. This grouping was supported by a 2021 phylogenetic analysis of Galliformes, and accepted by the International Ornithological Congress. The tribe name is accepted by the Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World.

Adoration of the Christ Child (Italian: Adorazione del Bambino), is a –1621 oil on canvas painting of the Nativity by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard Honthorst in the collection of the Uffizi in Florence.

Painting
The Adoration of the Child shows a moonlit scene with Mary laying the Child in swaddling clothes. Joseph is looking over her shoulder and two angels are leaning over the crib. The moonlight is reflected off the faces in such a way that suggests the Child as a light source. The composition is reminiscent of much earlier versions, such as the 1490 Nativity at Night by Geertgen tot Sint Jans. The "Child as light source" aspect was used again and further exaggerated by Honthorst the next year when he painted the same subject, today held by the Wallraf-Richartz Museum.

Provenance
This painting is one of five paintings by Honthorst in the Uffizi, and all of them feature a tenebrist style that shows why the Italians call him Gherardo delle Notti or "Gerard of the Night". Presumably these were all purchased in 1628 by Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who had just returned from a trip to Northern Europe and sent an intermediary to inquire after "6 paintings" that were for sale in Rome.

Career
Tracy was a reporter for WCCO-TV, the CBS-affiliate station in Minneapolis, where he was a member of the station's investigative team, covering many major stories, including the methamphetamine epidemic and the collapse of the 35W bridge.

During that time, he also was a contributor to the Saturday Early Show, to which he brought his signature "Good Question" segment, started at WCCO-TV, to a national audience. Tracy also reported for the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric on the collapse of the I-35W bridge and flooding in southern Minnesota.

Controversy
On October 5, 2020, Tracy criticized the lack of adherence he observed at the Trump White House to public health guidelines to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic "I felt safer reporting in North Korea than I currently do reporting at The White House. This is just crazy. For context folks, this is in reference to the COVID-19 outbreak at The White House." The tweet garnered nearly 195,000 "Likes", as well as swift criticism from Republicans.

The St. Marys Saints were a minor league baseball team based in St. Marys, Pennsylvania. In 1916, the Saints played as members of the eight-team Class D level Interstate League, finishing in second place before the league folded following the season. St. Marys hosted home minor league games at Memorial Park.

History
St. Marys began minor league play in 1916, when the St. Marys "Saints" began play as a member of the Interstate League, a Class D level minor league. The league began play on May 19, 1916, with the Bradford Drillers, Erie Sailors, Johnsonburg Johnnies, Olean White Sox, Ridgway, Warren Warriors and Wellsville Rainmakers teams joining St. Marys in league play to begin the season.

The Interstate League continued play in 1916, as the league expanded to eight teams to begin the season. The league ended the season with five teams after the Erie Sailors, Olean White Sox and Warren Bingoes teams folded during the season. St. Marys had an overall regular season record of 49–30, playing the season under manager Curley Blount. The Saints placed second and ended the season 6.5 games behind the first place Ridgway team. No playoffs were held as Ridgeway won both halves of the split season schedule. Pitcher John Verbout	of St. Marys won 18 games to lead the Interstate League.

St. Marys players Al Boucher, Katsy Keifer and Johnny Miljus advanced to the major leagues in their careers.

The Interstate League did not return to play in 1917. The league resumed play in the region in 1932 without a St. Marys franchise. St. Marys has not hosted another minor league team.

The ballpark
The St. Marys Saints hosted home minor league games at Memorial Park. Memorial Park is still in use today as a public park with amenities. The park is located on Wolfel Avenue in St. Marys.
