Isaac W. Sprague (May 21, 1841 – January 5, 1887) was an entertainer and sideshow performer, billed as the living human skeleton.

Biography
He was born on May 21, 1841, in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Although normal for most of his childhood, Sprague began irreversibly losing weight at age 12 after feeling ill after swimming. The weight loss continued throughout his life despite having a healthy appetite. His condition has been described by historians as extreme progressive muscular atrophy. This ultimately led to his death.

Sprague bounced around from job to job during early adulthood. He worked as both a cobbler for his father and a grocer. However, his illness kept him from continuing down either of those career paths. His parents died and Sprague could not work enough to support himself, so he was left unemployed. In 1865, he was offered a job at a circus sideshow, where he became known as "the Living Skeleton" or "the Original Thin Man".

The next year P. T. Barnum, the director of the circus, hired Sprague to work at his (newly reopened and successful) American Museum Freak show. Barnum paid Sprague $80 a week for his services. Sprague remembered the moment Barnum offered him the job: "Mr. Barnum stood very near me, and I overheard him say to his agent, 'Pretty lean man, where did you scare him up?

Barnum's Museum burned down in 1868 and Sprague managed to escape with his life. At this point, Sprague took time off to marry his wife, Tamar Moore. They had three sons who lived healthy, normal lives.

Sprague made attempts to stay away from the sideshow, but he could not escape financial distress. It is rumored that in addition to being financially responsible for his wife and their three sons, Sprague had a gambling problem. His condition also kept him from finding real work anywhere other than Barnum's, so he continued to tour off and on throughout the country and eventually overseas.

By the age of 44, he was 5 feet and 6 inches (168 cm) tall with a weight of only 43 pounds (19.5 kg). Sprague's condition required him to be constantly taking in nutrients. His health was in such a poor state that he often carried milk in a flask around his neck. He would sip this from time to time to keep himself up and conscious.

He died on January 5, 1887, in poverty, of asphyxia in Chicago, Illinois.

Sprague was the first of many more Living Skeleton acts to come. In a result of forced promotion and work pressure, it was not uncommon for the Living Skeleton act to marry the Fat Lady act.

Personal life 
Sprague married Miss Tamar Moore shortly after 1868 and the couple had three strong, healthy, robust sons. Sprague found happiness in his family. He described his new found joy, "Life, that had at times seemed so little worth preserving, now seemed more precious."

Dragons are an Irish women's cricket team that compete in the Women's Super Series. They first competed in the Super Series from its inception in 2015 until 2019, after which the tournament was reduced to two teams during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Dragons missing out. In 2022 the team returned to the Super Series and, after initially having no geographical base, would return with a "Northern Irish focus".  They have won three Super Series titles: in 2016, 2018 and 2019.

History
Dragons were established in 2015 to compete in the Women's Super 3s, a tournament designed to bridge the gap between club cricket and international cricket in Ireland. The team was made up of some of the best players in Irish cricket, and were captained by Mary Waldron and coached by Rob O'Connor. In their first season Dragons finished 2nd in the group of 3, with four victories.

The following season, this time captained by Laura Delany, Dragons won their first Super 3s title, with four wins from six matches. They went unbeaten throughout the 50 over section of the tournament, and won one of their two T20s, a last ball thriller against Scorchers. The next season, 2017, Dragons fared worse, finishing bottom of the league with just two victories from ten matches.

2018 brought a return to form for the Dragons, as they won their second Super 3s title, led by Shauna Kavanagh. Highlights for the season included Cecelia Joyce's 118 in a victory over Scorchers, and Lara Maritz's bowling performances throughout the season. The following season, 2019, Dragons retained their title, their second in two seasons and third overall. They were victorious in five of their 10 matches, with a further three curtailed due to rain. They were captained by Kim Garth and coached by Clare Shillington.

In 2020, the tournament was forced into a restructure due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was reduced to two teams, with Dragons the team to miss out. Due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, Dragons were again unable to compete in 2021.

In 2022, it was announced that Dragons would return to the Super Series for the upcoming season. The returning side was to have a Northern Ireland focus, with half of the squad playing for Northern Irish clubs, and employing a Northern Irish-based coach, James Cameron-Dow. Leah Paul captained the side. The side finished as runners-up in the Super 20 Trophy and in third in the Super 50 Cup.

Poisoned Minds: The Paris Concert is a live album by saxophonist Tim Berne's Bloodcount and second volume of the series which was recorded in 1994 and released on the JMT label.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Dave Lynch said "Poisoned Minds is for serious listeners without attenuated attention spans, a somewhat radical concept in itself. Yet aside from the lengths of the pieces, many elements of the music are not particularly radical despite Berne's avant-garde rep -- melody, rhythm, and theme are all important to the saxophonist, and the innovation comes from the way he manipulates structure, fitting the pieces of the puzzle together in unpredictable ways".

The  or Taisen Dam is a dam in Hokkaido, Japan. It was planned as a multipurpose rockfill dam by the Hokkaido Ministry of Land, Transportation, Infrastructure Development. It was built upon the Ishikari River for the purpose of flood control and water basin for Asahikawa, Hokkaido, irrigation, and hydropower. The artificial lake created as a result of the construction of the dam is known as the Taisetsu Lake.

Overview 
The Ishikari River Comprehensive development plan was formulated in 1947. The plan included a number of dam projects along the main tributaries which resulted in the construction of Ashibetsu Dam as well as Nakayama Dam. In 1954, Typhoon No. 15 known as  caused damage to the trees in the Kamikawa Basin, as well as many roads in the surrounding area. A survey of the Ishikari River was conducted and in 1955 and construction of the dam began in 1965. The dam was completed in 1975 after 10 years of construction and has allowed for greater control of flooding and supplies up to 20,000 kW of hydropower. In 1981, another major flood occurred and caused considerable damage to the region. The revision of the Ishikari River comprehensive development plan was required which led to the planning and creation of more dams. In 2007, the Chubetsu Dam was completed as part of this project.

S.M. Imamul Huq is a Bangladeshi academic. He was a professor of the Department of Soil, Water & Environment, University of Dhaka. He served as vice-chancellor of the University of Barisal from 2015 to 2019.

Education 
In 1970, Huq graduated from the University of Dhaka with a B.Sc. degree in soil science, and the following year finished an M.Sc. degree in the same subject. He completed a second M.Sc. in agricultural soil and water engineering from Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, Thailand, in 1980. In 1984, he received a D. Engg. from the University of Nancy I, France, for his dissertation Comparaison de la résistance au stress salin de Vigna sinensis (L.) Savi et de Phaseolus aureus Roxb.

Career 
Huq joined the faculty at the University of Dhaka in 1973 as a lecturer in soil science. From 2005 to 2008, he served as chair of the Department of Soil, Water and Environment.

Huq was appointed to a four-year term as vice-chancellor of the University of Barisal in May 2015. Late in his tenure, students began protesting, alleging that they had been excluded from the university's Independence Day commemoration. Tensions escalated after Huq used the expression "razakarer bachcha" (children of collaborators with Pakistan), which the students believed was directed at them. The following day students padlocked the academic building and boycotted classes. Authorities closed the campus the next day, and Huq apologized, saying he had been misunderstood. Students responded by burning him in effigy. Student protests demanding his resignation continued for a month. At the end of April 2019, Huq was granted leave for the remainder of his term as vice-chancellor.
