The First Days of Spring is the second studio album by the English band Noah and the Whale. It was released in the UK on 31 August 2009 and in the US on 6 October. The band began playing the new material at concerts in 2009 to a favourable response. The First Days of Spring notably differs from Noah and the Whale's debut album, Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down, by the presence of a running narrative describing the break-up of a relationship and by the lack of female vocals. The break-up addressed on this 
album is the break-up between lead singer Charlie Fink and former member Laura Marling, whose departure from the band led to the absence of female vocals. The Deluxe Edition of the album includes the film which is also titled The First Days of Spring. A trailer of the movie is available on their official website. An online campaign for the release of the album onto vinyl was set up in 2014.

Singles
"The First Days of Spring" is the first single release from the album and it is already available on the band's website. The first official single is "Blue Skies" which was released on 24 August 2009.

Reception

The First Days of Spring has been met with very positive reviews, showing more critical acclaim than their previous release. NME called the album "immense" and gave it a strong 9/10, whilst The Times awarded the album a full five stars.

Towards the end of 2009 The Guardian newspaper put it at number 7 in their top albums of 2009. The Times newspaper put the album at number 9, and was also in Amazon's top albums of 2009.

A wire brush is a tool consisting of a brush whose bristles are made of wire, most often steel wire. The steel used is generally a medium- to high-carbon variety and very hard and springy. Other wire brushes feature bristles made from brass or stainless steel, depending on application. Wires in a wire brush can be held together by epoxy, staples, or other binding. Wire brushes usually either have a handle of wood or plastic (for handheld use) or are formed into a wheel for use on angle grinders, bench grinders, pistol-grip drill motors, or other power tools.

Uses

The wire brush is primarily an abrasive implement, used for cleaning rust and removing paint. It is also used to clean surfaces and to create a better conductive area for attaching electrical connections, such as those between car battery posts and their connectors, should they accumulate a build-up of grime and dirt. When cleaning stainless steel, it is advisable to use a stainless steel bristle wire brush, as a plain carbon steel brush can contaminate the stainless steel and cause rust spots to appear. Brass bristle brushes are used on softer surfaces or when it is necessary to clean a harder surface without marring it. Brass bristle brushes are also used in potentially flammable environments where non-sparking tools are required. Wire brushes are also used to clean the teeth of large animals, such as crocodiles and pigs.  They are also used widely in surface engineering to clean the castings prior to painting.

History
The origins of the wire brush are unknown, although it is believed that the Romans used similar tools in the manufacture of roof tiles. As the Roman Empire fell, the tool fell out of use.

Barbeque grill cleaning
A number of surgeons recommend that wire brushes not be used to clean barbecue grills. In some cases, bristles break off the brush which then become deposited in food cooked on the grill. Ingestion of these bristles can cause gastrointestinal perforation.

On May 20, 2020, American food writer and grilling authority Derrick Riches called for a ban on the manufacture and sale of wire-bristle grill-cleaning brushes.

St Pauls Catholic College, (colloquially as St Pauls), is an independent, fee-paying, Roman Catholic single-sex school for boys, located in Greystanes, a western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. The college is located on Old Prospect Rd. The college caters for students in years 7-12, with over 1000 students and over 120 teachers.
 
The college is noted in honour of the Christian patron, St Paul. It was originally named St Simon Stock High School and Newman High School. It is behind the OLQP Parish in Greystanes and next to OLQP Primary School. Its vicinity becomes the host of the annual Maltese Festival around September.

History
St Paul's Catholic College was founded in 1958, built by Frank Cefai. It was commonly referred to as the new Catholic School in the district of Pendle Hill. It was originally named St Simon Stock School.

The school took its motto Esto Vir, which means "Be a Man".

Over the years, the school took on a new name and motto. The 19th-Century English convert and thinker John Henry Newman was the inspiration for the new name and the new motto was "Heart speaks to Heart". The school's library and resource centre adopted his name and named it 'John Henry Newman Library'.

Finally, the school was renamed again to St Paul's. The new motto for St Paul's is "Many Gifts - One Community".

Activated PI3K delta syndrome (APDS) is a primary immunodeficiency disease caused by activating gain of function mutations in the PIK3CD gene. Which encodes the p110δ catalytic subunit of PI3Kδ,  APDS-2 (PASLI-R1) is caused by exon-skipping mutations in PIK3R1 which encodes for the regulatory subunit p85α. APDS and APDS-2 affected individuals present with similar symptoms, which include increased susceptibility to airway infections, bronchiectasis and lymphoproliferation.

Symptoms and signs
The signs and symptoms of activated PI3K Delta Syndrome are consistent with the following:
 Immunodeficiency
 Lymphadenopathy
 Sinopulmonary infections
 Bronchiectasis

Cause
In terms of genetics, activated PI3K Delta Syndrome is autosomal dominant, a mutation in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta isoform is the reason for this condition (located at chromosome 1p36.)

Mechanism

The pathophysiology of activated PI3K delta syndrome has several aspects. The normal function has P110δ (PI3K) involved in immune system regulation.

P110δ effect is not limited to the immune system; P110δ has a presence in transformed epithelial cells and cell adhesion molecules (airway inflammation), and research has been done on the possibility of P110δ in the nervous system.

Activated PI3K delta syndrome effect indicates affected individuals are likely to have activation-induced cell death. Normally, PI3K-delta signaling assists B cells and T cells to mature; however, overactive PI3K-delta has an effect on the B and T cell differentiation (the process by which cells eventually are different from one another).

Consequently, there is an inability to confront an infection, as well as early cell death. Furthermore, overproduction of said signal can cause lymphadenopathy (which is an enlargement of lymph nodes) due to excess white blood cells.

Diagnosis
In order to ascertain if an individual has activated PI3K delta syndrome, usually one finds atypical levels of immunoglobulins. Methods to determine the condition are the following:
 Genetic testing
 Laboratory findings
 Symptoms exhibited

Treatment

Infections for this condition, are treated or prevented in the following general ways:
 Bacterial infection should be treated rapidly (with antibiotics)
 Antiviral therapy
 Modify lifestyle (exposure to pathogens need to be minimized)

Leniolisib (Joenja) was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2023. It is the first approved drug in the US for activated PI3K delta syndrome.

The 1996 Canadian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal on 16 June 1996. It was the eighth race of the 1996 Formula One World Championship.

The 69-lap race was won from pole position by Englishman Damon Hill, driving a Williams-Renault. Local driver Jacques Villeneuve, Hill's teammate and the son of Gilles, finished second, with Frenchman Jean Alesi third in a Benetton-Renault.

Report

Michael Schumacher started from the back of the grid, as his car suffered a fuel pressure problem as the field set off on the warm-up lap. This started a run of mechanical problems for the reigning double World Champion.

Eddie Irvine became the first retirement from 4th position in the leading Ferrari on lap 2 when his suspension failed, he was then followed out by Ukyo Katayama in the second Tyrrell and Ricardo Rosset in the second Footwork when they collided at the final chicane on lap 7 due to Katayama missing his braking point. Before Rosset's teammate Jos Verstappen in the leading Footwork retired in the pits on lap 11 when his engine failed. Rubens Barrichello in the second Jordan after passing Mika Hakkinen for 6th position would also be forced the retire on lap 23 in the pits after his first pit stop when his clutch failed. Michael Schumacher after starting at the back of the grid due to a clutch problem, was able to fight his way up to 13th position, but would soon retire due to driveshaft failure on lap 42 which started the first of three consecutive races which both Ferrari's would fail to finish a race due to mechanical failures.
For the second successive race, Gerhard Berger spun off and hit the wall while trying to pass teammate Jean Alesi on lap 43 at turn 4. Alesi continued to third place, while further behind Martin Brundle, running fourth following Berger's exit, had to pit for a new nose-cone following a collision with Pedro Lamy's Minardi when Lamy inadvertently hit Brundle's front wing as he attempted to rejoin the track after a spin on lap 45, dropping Brundle to seventh and handing fourth place to David Coulthard's McLaren. Brundle eventually recovered to sixth place behind Mika Häkkinen in the sister McLaren after getting past Johnny Herbert courtesy of a faster final pit stop.

Sarah Todd is an Australian celebrity chef, model, restaurateur, and cookbook author. She first earned recognition after appearing on MasterChef Australia in 2014.

Career 
Todd trained at Le Cordon Bleu, London. She competed on the sixth season of MasterChef Australia in 2014. After cooking aloo gobi on the show, she gained over 50,000 social media followers from India.

In 2015, Todd opened her first restaurant, Antares in Goa, India, which she co-owns and operates.  The building and opening of Antares was documented in the SBS Australia series My Restaurant in India, which aired in Australia in 2016. The series has subsequently been aired in 150 countries around the world.

During the time Todd spent in Goa, she also filmed Serve It Like Sarah, a 10-episode adventure, travel and food series airing on Fox Life India, Choice TV, New Zealand and Foxtel from 2016.

Todd's first cookbook My Healthy Model Cookbook was published by Penguin Australia in 2016.

In 2017, Todd joined fellow judges, Riyaaz Amlani and Vishal Dadlani, in the reality TV Show 'Grilled' on Fox Life India.

In 2018, Todd hosted the documentary Awesome Assam With Sarah Todd, which aired on Fox Life India, National Geographic Channel and Foxtel. The show was also featured in the Broadcast Audience Research Council India report and the content increased the viewership for the slot by almost 60%. It also had the second best ATS (Average Time Spent) among all the other content in the week on National Geographic.

In 2019, My Second Restaurant In India, which documents the building and opening Todd's second restaurant, The Wine Rack in Mumbai, aired on SBS Australia, W Channel in the UK, Choice TV New Zealand and Fox Life India.

On 8 January 2019, a local was burning land next door to her restaurant Antares in Goa, when embers flew onto the property causing a major fire. Three months later, the restaurant was rebuilt and in operation.

In 2020, Todd was invited to compete on Masterchef Australia'''s twelfth season, which exclusively featured high-performing past contestants who had failed to win their respective seasons. However, she refused the offer due to being busy with her career commitments at the time.

In 2022, Todd was again invited to compete on MasterChef Australia'''s fourteenth season, this time featuring a mix of returning contestants and new contenders. She accepted the offer, going on to improve upon her original placing by 7 spots and finishing runner-up, with Billie McKay winning the title for the second time.

Aloe lomatophylloides (the "Rodrigues aloe", sometimes known locally as "ananas marron") is a unique species of Aloe endemic to the island of Rodrigues, in the Indian Ocean. It is part of a group of aloes which bear fleshy berries, and were therefore classed as a separate group, Aloe section Lomatophyllum.

Description

The Rodrigues aloe develops short, unbranched decumbent stems (3–4 cm diameter), topped with a loose rosette of long (50–75 cm), narrow (8 cm wide at the base), lanceolate-attenuate leaves. (In appearance, the leaves most resemble those of Aloe martialii of north Madagascar.) The leaves are highly succulent, but slender (maximum 8 cm wide at base). The leaves are dark-green, becoming pale yellow-green in sun.

The flowers are similar to those of other Mascarene aloes. They appear on inflorescences, with a 10–12 cm peduncle splitting into two or three 15–30 cm racemes - usually all branching from the same point. Its pale orange-red flowers grow on the subdense cylindrical racemes. Its seeds develop in fleshy berries, which are teardrop shaped, 1.5 – 2 cm long and contain a dark liquid.

Distribution
While the Rodrigues aloe was formerly widespread all across Rodrigues island, it now only occurs in the Grande Montagne Nature Reserve, where the last 30 plants are protected. 
Two additional plants recorded in cultivation in Mauritius, came from other localities on the island - one from Solitude and the other from Cascade Victoire. Its preferred habitat is exposed rocky ridges, especially on the higher mountains, where these plants were typically found growing in groups.

On Rodrigues, it was traditionally used as a medicine for ailments such as muscle-pain.

Related species
The Rodrigues Aloe is part of a group of aloes that have fleshy berries (instead of the dried seed capsules that are more normal for the group). These aloes were therefore classed as a separate group, Aloe section Lomatophyllum. Aloes of this group exist on several of the Indian Ocean islands, however the Rodrigues aloe is the most divergent and distinctive of these species.
