"Made in Heaven" is the third single recorded by Freddie Mercury, and his fourth release as a solo artist. Originally featured in Mercury's first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy, the song was slightly modified and published as a 45 rpm single paired with "She Blows Hot and Cold", described on the record sleeve as 'A Brand New Track'. The single reached No. 57 on the UK Singles Chart.

After Mercury's death, the song's title gave the name to Queen's 1995 album Made in Heaven. The song was also chosen, along with "I Was Born to Love You", to be re-recorded for the album, with the previous vocals mixed into a newly recorded instrumental track.

12-inch single release

Music video
The song's video was directed by David Mallet, previously involved in the making of the music video for "I Was Born to Love You", as well as five Queen clips. A Royal Opera House replica was built inside a warehouse in North London (as normal studios did not have high enough roofs), where Mercury wanted to recreate scenes from Stravinskij's The Rite of Spring and Dante's Inferno. The most remarkable element is probably the 67-foot tall rotating globe on top of which the singer stands in the last part of the video clip. The outfit that Mercury wears in this music video is quite similar to the outfit worn in the music video for the Queen single "Radio Ga Ga". Mallet and Mercury used the 1952 film The Importance  of Being Earnest as inspiration for the set.

Asháninka (also known as Campa, although this name is derogatory) is an Arawakan language spoken by the Asháninka people of Peru and Acre, Brazil.  It is largely spoken in the Satipo Province located in the amazon forest. While there are low literacy rates in Asháninka, language use is vibrant among the Asháninka.

Classification

The Campa (or Pre-Andean) group of the Maipurean language family includes what have been called Asháninka, Gran Pajonal Campa, Ashéninka, Axaninca, Machiguenga, and Nomatsiguenga. As these are all very closely related linguistic systems, the decision to call them dialects of a single language or different languages rests on social and political considerations rather than linguistic similarity or difference, as in so many other places in the world. Attempts to unify the varieties with one written standard have not been successful.

History

The language has also been called both Asháninka and Campa; the latter of which is considered by the Asháninka to be offensive, as it derives from the Quechua word thampa, meaning ragged and dirty. Like all languages that have a predominance in any particular region of Perú, Asháninka is an official language in the area in which it is spoken, as provided by the Constitution. Literacy rates range from 10% to 30%, compared to 15% to 25% literacy for the second language, Spanish.

Phonology

Consonants 

Following voiced nasals, voiceless plosives become voiced. Preceding an [a] vowel, a [k] sound becomes labialized as [kʷ]. A labial sound [w] is formed when two vowels /oa/ are together.

Vowels

Language basics and comparisons

Threats

This language can be categorized as vulnerable for a multitude of reasons. South America has been a target for logging and other deforestation efforts, that are oftentimes illegal. Those that speak Asháninka call the historically dense rainforests of Peru and Brazil their home, and live off this land. This habitat, specially in the Peruvian side, faces a moderate threat from logging and other destructive practices by outside forces.

Spanish Astrobiology Center ( (CAB)) is a state-run institute in Spain dedicated to astrobiology research, and it is part of the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) as well as the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). It was created in 1999 and it is affiliated with NASA Astrobiology Institute.

Its main objective is "understanding life as a consequence of the evolution of the matter and energy in the Universe."

History

The foundation of Spain's Astrobiology Center (CAB) had its beginnings in 1998 when a group of Spanish scientists led by Juan Pérez-Mercader, presented a proposal of affiliation to the newly created NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI). The affiliation was accepted and the center was officially created on 19 November 1999. It operated from offices at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) until it moved to its own building inaugurated in January 2003.

Organization

The Astrobiology Center is based in Madrid, Spain, its Director is Víctor Parro García, and the Vicedirector is Francisco Najarro. The center is organized into several research and support units, and some of these are associated to Spanish universities, including the University of Valladolid and the Autonomous University of Madrid. The center is part of the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) as well as the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
 
The center is structured in several departments: Astrophysics Department, Molecular Evolution Department, Planetary Science and Habitability Department, Advanced Instrumentations Department, as well as several support units.

Research

CAB has contributed to NASA in its mission to better characterize and find conditions for life in the Universe, and has prioritized Martian weather research and endurance of some extremophile microorganisms. CAB has developed instruments for multiple missions:
 Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) for the Curiosity rover
 Temperature and Winds for InSight (TWINS) on the InSight mission
 MEDA (Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer), which rides on NASA's Perseverance rover launched in 2020
 Raman Laser Spectrometer (RLS) for detecting minerals and potential biological pigments for the European Space Agency's Rosalind Franklin rover also to be launched in 2022. 
 CAB is also developing a life-detector called Signs Of LIfe Detector (SOLID) to be potentially flown in a future mission.

Vasily Pavlovich Zubov (Васи́лий Па́влович Зу́бов, 1 August 1900 – 8 April 1963) was a Russian and Soviet philosopher who wrote on architecture, art, and the history of science based on studies of texts from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. He received a posthumous George Sarton medal from the history of science society in 1963.

Zubov was born in Alexandrov near Moscow to Pavel Vasilyevich, a chemist who had worked on thermo-chemistry, who also took an interest in playing the violin and in numismatics. Zubov studied classical languages and philosophy graduating from Moscow University in 1922. He joined the State Academy of Artistic Sciences where he contributed to an encyclopedia of art from 1923 to 1929. He examined architecture during this period, and in 1946 he submitted a doctoral thesis on Leon Battista Alberti's architectural theory, translating De re aedificatoria into Russian. After the war he studied the history of science at the Soviet Academy of Sciences, working there until his death. One of his major works was on Leonardo da Vinci published in 1961 which was translated into English. Zubov did not believe in theories (Geistesgeschichte) that people of a period stuck to specific approaches or traditions.

The Taiwan Question and China's Reunification in the New Era () is a white paper published by the Taiwan Affairs Office and State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is the first white paper concerning Taiwan  published since 2000 and was released a few days after Nancy Pelosi’s 2022 visit to Taiwan. In it, the PRC urged for Taiwan to reunify with it under the "one country, two systems" principle.

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council said the document was "wishful thinking and disregarding facts”.

John Alexander (1686 – ) was a Scottish painter and engraver of the 18th century. He studied in Italy under Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari.

Life

Alexander was the son of a doctor from Aberdeen. The painter George Jamesone was his paternal great-grandfather. He spent some time in London before going to Rome in 1711. There he studied under Giuseppe Chiari and received commissions from the exiled Stuart court. Following his return to Scotland in 1720 he was commissioned by the 2nd Duke of Gordon (whom he had probably first met in Italy) to decorate a staircase at Gordon Castle with a painting depicting the Rape of Proserpine. This was based on a work by his master, Chiari, in the Palazzo Barberini. Alexander's work at the castle was later destroyed, but his sketch for the work survives in the collection of the National Gallery of Scotland.

Many of his clients, including Gordon, were Jacobites, and Alexander himself took part in the rising of 1745, becoming a fugitive after the Battle of Culloden. He resumed his career, however, and was working openly in Aberdeen by 1748.

He was active as a printmaker, and etched some plates after Raphael's frescoes in the Loggie of the Vatican. He dedicated a set of six, dated 1717 and 1718, to Cosimo III, Grand Duke of Tuscany; Joseph Strutt wrote that they did Alexander no kind of credit, and termed them slight, loose, and incorrect etchings.

The portrait painter Cosmo Alexander was his son.

Ludmila Dvořáková (11 July 1923 in Kolín – 30 July 2015 in Prague) was a Czech operatic soprano.

Biography
Dvořáková studied at the Prague Conservatory. Her operatic debut was in the title role of Katya Kabanova in Ostrava in 1949.

In the early 1950s Dvořáková was engaged in Vienna, and sang Elisabeth in Don Carlos and the Kostelnicka in Jenůfa under Mackerras; in East Berlin she was heard as Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier. Beginning in 1960 she was the dramatic soprano at the Berlin State Opera, and also performed in London, New York, Munich and Paris. Between 1965 and 1971 she sang at Bayreuth, appearing as Gutrune, Venus, Kundry, Ortrud and Brünnhilde, the latter role also being sung the following year under Solti at Covent Garden, with whom she also sang Isolde, a role she later sang under Colin Davis.

Dvořáková sang at prominent opera houses throughout the world, including the Met.

Dvořáková was married to conductor Rudolf Vašata (d. 1982), a pupil of Václav Talich, whom she met in Ostrava and with whom she recorded an LP of Wagner operatic excerpts. She was Gutrune on the Karl Böhm recording of Götterdämmerung in 1967.

Dvořáková was awarded the National Prize of the German Democratic Republic in 1972. She retired in 1985. In 2012 she was awarded the Antonin Dvořák Prize, presented by the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Music and Dance Faculty (HAMU) in recognition of individuals who promote and popularise Czech music.

On 30 July 2015, Ludmila Dvořáková died in a fire at her home in Prague.

Charles E. Shepard (September 21, 1901 – September 9, 1992) was an American government official who was the first Secretary of Administration and Finance of Massachusetts.

Early life
Shepard was born on September 21, 1901, in Warren, Massachusetts. He was a seventh generation dairy farmer and lived and worked on Elm View Farm in Warren for most of his life. He graduated from  Warren High School and the Bay Path Institute in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Government service
From 1935 to 1943, Shepard was a member of the Warren finance committee. He was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1940, and was re-elected in 1942 and 1944. During his final term he was vice chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and helped modernize the state's budgeting process. Rather than run for reelection in 1946, Shepard became the first ever budget director of the House Ways and Means Committee. In 1965 he was appointed deputy commissioner for fiscal affairs in the department of Administration and Finance by Governor John A. Volpe. In June 1970 he was promoted to the Commissioner of Administration and Finance by Acting Governor Francis Sargent. When the position was reorganized into a cabinet-level office the following year, Shepard became the first Secretary of Administration and Finance of Massachusetts. He retired on September 27, 1971.

Later life
After retiring, Shepard was a part-time consultant on state finances to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation. He died on September 9, 1992, at a nursing home in West Brookfield, Massachusetts after a yearlong battle with cancer.

The General Dutch Association for Trade and Office Clerks and Travelling Salesmen (, often known as Mercurius, was a trade union representing white collar workers in the Netherlands.

The union was established on 1 October 1940, during World War II.  The Nazi occupiers merged the General Dutch Union of Trade and Office Workers, an affiliate of the Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions (NVV), with the independent Mercurius union.  Soon after, the union was banned entirely, but it was revived in 1945, and the representatives of the former unions decided to maintain the merger, and to affiliate to the NVV.

In 1947, the union absorbed the Dutch Union of Insurance Agents and Collectors.  However, in 1952, when the NVV decided to reorganise its affiliates as industrial unions, it lost many members to unions representing their industries.  It took the official name General Union Mercurius, Industrial Union for Trade, Banking and Insurance, and Free Professions.  By 1964, it had 31,030 members, and by 1980 this had grown to 61,397.  Of these, 47% worked in commerce, 15% in cultural services, 9% in business services, 8% in banking, 6% in social services, and 4% in public administration.

In 1977, the union became the Services Union, while still remaining popularly known as "Mercurius".  It formed a federation with the rival Services Union NKV in 1975, and the two unions merged completely in 1981, forming the Services Union.

Seychelles Medical and Dental Association (SMDA) is a registered body consisting of the doctors and dentists working in the Republic of Seychelles. Unlike the Seychelles Medical and Dental Council which has been formed by a law, the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Act, 1994, and which regulates the medical and dental profession, the Seychelles Medical and Dental Association focuses more on the career and socio-professional interests of doctors and dentists in Seychelles. In reality, it is a trade union for the doctors and dentists. Any doctor or dentist in Seychelles can become a member upon payment of the prescribed membership fees.

Background 
Since its formation, around 1993, the Seychelles Medical and Dental Association has been at the forefront of all negotiations with the Government to improve the working and living conditions of doctors and dentists in Seychelles. One of its former Chairman, Dr Patrick Herminie, became Speaker of the National Assembly of Seychelles.

The Seychelles Medical and Dental Association owns the Seychelles Medical and Dental Journal. Although the Journal has not been published for several years now, previous editions have featured seminal articles on ground-breaking research in Seychelles. Efforts are underway to revive the journal.
