Canadian Patents and Development Limited (CPDL) was a Canadian agency tasked with promoting the commercialization of inventions and discoveries arising from government departments and agencies, as well as those disclosed to it by universities and others publicly funded organizations. The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) founded CPDL on October 24, 1947, as a subsidiary Crown Corporation under part 1 of the Canadian Companies Act (now Canadian Corporations Act). As a subsidiary of the NRC, CPDL was charged with handling the assessment, patenting, development, and licensing of the intellectual property developed by the scientific workers of the NRC. Soon after its incorporation, CPDL began making its services available to Canadian universities and other publicly financed organizations. The number of Canadian agencies and departments reporting inventions to CPDL increased substantially in 1954 with the enactment of the Public Servants' Inventions Act, which made CPDL eligible to accept and manage the inventions arising from all federal departments and agencies. Despite its broad mandate and many agreements, CPDL was noted by university administrators as possessing inadequate resources to effectively manage inventions for all of Canada's universities, while the industry consensus "was that CPDL's work was under-publicized, under-supported, undersold and under-followed-up."  On February 20, 1990, the Minister of Finance announced the planned dissolution of CPDL as part of a larger government commitment to reducing the size of government and improving the efficiency of public services. A few months later, the Crown Corporation Dissolution or Transfer Authorization Bill (Bill C-73) was introduced to parliament to facilitate the closure of several crown corporations and the transfer of their responsibilities. The bill authorized the Minister of Industry, Science, and Technology to dissolve CPDL, and made government departments and agencies responsible for managing their own intellectual property. Following the Crown Corporation Dissolution or Transfer Authorization Bill, all CPDL agreements with Canadian universities were terminated, and all patented faculty inventions held by CPDL were transferred back to each respective university. On August 1, 1993 CPDL ceased all operations.

Karl August von Solbrig (17 September 1809, Fürth – 31 May 1872, Munich) was a German physician and psychiatrist.

He studied medicine at the universities of Munich and Erlangen, where he also served as an assistant to pathologist Adolph Henke. From 1834 he took a study trip during which he investigated the asylum systems of Germany, France and Belgium. Around 1836 he worked for several months as an assistant to psychiatrist Karl Wilhelm Ideler at the Charité hospital in Berlin, then afterwards settled as a general practitioner in his hometown of Fürth. In 1846 he was named director of the newly founded district mental hospital in Erlangen, and three years later, was named an honorary professor at the university.

During the 1850s he made plans for the construction of a new district mental hospital near Munich, and in 1859, he became the first director of the Oberbayerische Kreis-Irrenanstalt (Upper Bavarian District Mental Hospital) in Munich. From 1864 up until his death in 1872, he was a full professor of psychiatry at the University of Munich. He is credited with establishing psychiatry as a specific medical discipline at the faculty of medicine in Munich. In 1865, he became an honorary member of the Société médicale allemande de Paris.

Mezőcsát is a small town in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Northern Hungary, 35 kilometers from county capital Miskolc.

History
The area has been inhabited since ancient times. In 1067 a monastery was founded here. At this time the village was called Csát and it had two separate parts: Szabadcsát, where freemen lived, and Lakcsát where serfs lived.

During the Mongol invasion of Hungary Mezőcsát was destroyed. It was mentioned again only in the 1330s. After the battle of Mezőkeresztes it was abandoned again, but people settled in the area once more when Borsod comitatus was ruled from Transylvania under Ruling Prince Gábor Bethlen. In 1686 the Imperial forces burnt Mezőcsát down, but in a document from 1698 it is mentioned as a town with right to hold a market, so it must have been a significant town then. The inhabitants took part in the revolution against the Habsburgs in 1848-49, and the imperial forces burnt the village again.

After 1867 Mezőcsát prospered, the railway line reached the village; mills were built and banks were opened.

In World War I, Mezőcsát lost 176 of its residents. The monument on Heroes Square, the main square of Mezőcsát, was erected to their memory. During World War II the Jewish inhabitants were deported. On 7 November 1944, the Soviet army occupied the village.

During the next few decades Mezőcsát prospered, even though its role as centre of the area was taken over by the newly built town of Tiszaújváros. On 1 January 1991, Mezőcsát regained its town status.

The Texas Forest Trail is a non-profit organization which promotes heritage tourism, economic development, and historic preservation. The organization is one of ten driving trail regions which make up the award-winning Heritage Trails Program of the Texas Historical Commission.

History
In 1968 Texas hosted the World's fair, known as HemisFair '68, in San Antonio, Texas. In connection with this boost in international attention, the Texas Department of Transportation designated ten 650-mile circular driving regions that encompassed the entire state of Texas. These trails saw little attention after their creation until in the late 1990s when the Texas Historical Commission adopted these trails as their Heritage Trail Program. The Texas Forts Trail was the first of the ten trails to be reinstated.

The 35-county Forest Trail Region historically is known for people such as the Caddo Indians and Spanish explorer Alonso de Leon. The region has been called the gateway to Texas, with borders with Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. The region is named for the four national and five state forests located in this region.

Also located within the region is the site of the first Spanish mission in East Texas, Mission San Francisco de los Tejas. Established in 1690 on San Pedro Creek near the Neches River by Franciscan friars, the purpose of the mission was twofold. Aside from the primary objective of converting the local Nabedache Indians to Christianity, the mission functioned additionally as bulwark against any potential French attempt to claim the region as their own. The mission was ultimately unsuccessful due to steadily declining relations between the Spanish and the Nabedache, who blamed the Spanish for bringing sickness to their tribe. This prompted the Spanish to destroy the mission.

Mõdriku is a village in Vinni Parish, Lääne-Viru County, in northeastern Estonia.

Mõdriku Manor

Mõdriku Manor () was first mentioned in 1470. Over the centuries, it has been the property of various Baltic German families. During the 20th century, it has been used by various schools. The building traces its oldest parts to the 17th century, but has been extensively enlarged and rebuilt both during the 1780s and 1890s.

The manor was the home of several successive generations of the von Kaulbars family, including Russian general and explorer Alexander von Kaulbars. His ancestor R. A. von Kaulbars, reputedly a great patriot, put up the column commemorating the French–Russian War of 1812 that is still visible in the manor park.

The two teams with the worst conference records were not invited to the tournament. All remaining tournament seeds were determined by regular season conference records.
