Shefqet Mehmetali Stringa was a banking pioneer in Albania.

Biography
Shefqet Stringa was born in Elbasan, a city in central Albania, to a very well educated family. His father was a financier of the Turkish administration during the Ottoman regime. He attended his school in Elbasan. During the academic term of 1917–1918, the mayor of the city of Elbasan, Aqif Bicaku, and the Austrian Colonel Zitkovski, gave scholarships to a group of students, including Shefqet Stringa. He continued his studies in the Business Academy of Wien, and received a doctorate on 7 July 1922.

During his studies in Austria, Shefqet Stringa was active in the student organization "Albania", established in 1918. He was one, in a group of scholars who wrote a letter to the Peace Conference in Paris, who gave his contribution. In 1920 Shefqet and other students contributed their savings to help other Albanians publish the first Albanian magazine, Djaleria, in Wien. After his graduation, he was employed by the Credit Bank in Wien but resigned in 1923 and returned to his homeland. From April 1923 until December 1924, he worked as a translator for the finance director, while Ahmet Zogu was Prime Minister and Minister of the Foreign Exchange in Albania.

From 1930–1933, Stringa established the first private banking agency in Elbasan. In 1933 he became the director of the National Bank of Albania. One year later he was appointed a director of the Business Room for the city of Elbasan. In November 1939 Shefqet Stringa was appointed as a director of the Elbasan branch, financed by Banka di Napoli. He held the position until 1946.

He was offered the Executive Director's job for the  Bank of Albania, which he refused. Shefqet never agreed with a government, whose power didn't come from the people. This led to his arrest as a political prisoner. As someone who was accused of a crime against the state, he was not given the right to present a defense before the court. Shefqet Stringa died on 31 October 1947 without any trial at court. He left his wife, Razije, and three sons, Dashamir, Mehmetali, and Adhurim.

El Bathan Airfield is an abandoned military airfield in Ariana province, Tunisia, located approximately 15 km south of El Battan, and 30 km west of Tunis.  It is now an agricultural area, with little or no visible remains.  A light scar on the landscape indicates where its main runway was located.  During World War II it was used by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force during the North African Campaign.

History 
The airfield was a temporary facility, constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in June and July 1943.  It consisted of a Pierced Steel Planking runway and parking apron, with hard earth dispersal hardstands.  Six-man tents were used for billeting, lined up in rows with the orderly room and the mess hall at one end.  The airfield was called the "Dust Bowl" by the men stationed there, given the hot, dry winds that would constantly blow airborne dust into the tents, aircraft and the support facilities.

By late October 1943 the front had advanced to the point where the 320th found itself almost out of range of targets, and its squadrons were ordered to move to new airfields on Sardinia.  Afterward, the airfield was dismantled and the land returned to its owners.

Lost Souls is the debut album by the folk/roots rock band the Raindogs, released in 1990 on Atco Records. Written by lead singer Mark Cutler and presenting a hybrid roots rock sound with Celtic elements, Lost Souls drew critical attention but was not a commercial success.

Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "Lost Souls is perfectly played material and an interesting debut, but there's not enough personality to send this over the top." The Los Angeles Times thought that the "lilting yet propulsive fiddle gusts, swirling through the basic guitar-rock architecture, give Raindogs both sweetness and bite." The Orlando Sentinel deemed the album "a solid effort [on which] none of the songs really stood out." The Washington Post called it "catchy but a little cautious." The Rolling Stone Album Guide declared the album to be "a perfectly unremarkable example of foursquare folk-rock traditionalism."

The County of Rethel (), promoted to Duchy of Rethel () in 1581 and finally the Duchy of Mazarin () after 1659, was a historic county in the French region of Ardennes. Its capital was the city of Rethel. The duchy was abolished due to the French Revolution in 1789.

History

Originally, the city belonged to the Abbey of Saint-Remi and was administered by its advocati. One of them, Manasses I, became the first Count of Rethel and he was the first member of the House of Rethel.

In 1481 the county, with Rethel as its seat, was elevated to the Peerage of France and, finally, in 1581, it was elevated to a duchy, the Duchy of Rethel.

In 1659, the last duke of the House of Gonzaga-Nevers, Charles of Gonzaga-Nevers, sold the duchy of Rethel to the Cardinal Mazarin, prime-minister of king Louis XIV and the country was, then, renamed as the Duchy of Mazarin, and the title was the Duke of Mazarin.

The last duchess Mazarin, Louise d'Aumont (1759-1826), married in 1771 Honoré IV Grimaldi, Prince of Monaco,

The French revolution abolished the duchy in 1789.

Kung Fu Zombie is a 1981 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Hwa I Hung.  It stars Billy Chong as a martial artist who must fight supernatural foes.

Plot 
Pang, a martial artist, foils a robbery and sends thug Lu Dai to jail.  Desiring revenge, Lu returns to the town and hires Wu Lung, a Taoist priest, to raise several zombies to fight Pang.  The plan backfires when Lu is killed by his own trap.  His ghost then haunts the priest and demands to be resurrected.  Kwan Wei Long, a serial killer, enters the town looking to duel with Pang and is seemingly killed by him.  Happy to find a suitable corpse, Wu Lung attempts to put Lu Dai's spirit into Long's body.  Long, however, is so evil that he is reanimated as a free-willed vampire.  When Pang's father dies, the priest uses his corpse to host Lu's spirit, but the ceremony is interrupted, and the thug and Pang's father share control of the body.  Pang must now defeat the vampire and his father's possessed corpse.

Release 
Kung Fu Zombie was released in 1981 in Hong Kong and 1982 in the US.  Ground Zero released it in the US on DVD in 2002.

Reception 
J. Doyle Wallis of DVD Talk rated it 3.5/5 stars and called it "pure, cheap, unadulterated, stupid fun".  Todd Rigney of Beyond Hollywood called it "an obvious rip-off" of Encounters of the Spooky Kind that approaches the fun of The Evil Dead and Braindead.  In Horror and Science Fiction Films III, Donald C. Willis called it "95 minutes of pure silliness".  The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies called it "a very unusual, funny film".  In The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, Peter Dendle wrote, "The speeded-up cinematography of martial arts action sequences always gives zombies in East Asian cinema a novel, charismatic twist."  Brian Thomas, who wrote VideoHound's Dragon, said, "[F]or the most part, this has all the dumb spirit of a ninja movie with the added bonus of horror and gore!"

The enzyme phosphatidylserine decarboxylase () catalyzes the chemical reaction

phosphatidyl-L-serine  phosphatidylethanolamine + CO2

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphatidyl-L-serine carboxy-lyase (phosphatidylethanolamine-forming). Other names in common use include PS decarboxylase, and phosphatidyl-L-serine carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism.  It has two cofactors: pyridoxal phosphate,  and Pyruvate.

Sisters of '77 is a documentary film that chronicles the 1977 National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas, which took place November 18–21, 1977. The goal of the National Women's Conference was to end discrimination against women and promote their equal rights. The conference was sponsored by President Gerald Ford's Executive Order 11832 and federally funded through HR 9924. It brought together over 20,000 women and men from around the United States.

Sisters of '77 provides a look at a pivotal weekend that changed the course of history and the lives of the women who attended. The film incorporates rare archival footage and interviews of leaders relating this history to the present. Former first ladies Lady Bird Johnson, Betty Ford, and Rosalynn Carter were notable conference participants, and many influential women leaders attended, including Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Ann Richards, Coretta Scott King, Billie Jean King, and Barbara Jordan. The attendees included a wide range of women, such as Republicans, Democrats, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas, Native American, pro-choice, pro-life, straight, gay, liberal and conservative women.

Production 

Sisters of '77 was created by filmmakers Cynthia Salzman Mondell and Allen Mondell and executive produced by Ed Delaney and Circle R Media, in association with Media Projects Inc. Salzman Mondell participated in the 1977 conference as a relay runner helping to carry a torch from Seneca Falls, New York, the site of the first women's rights convention in the United States, to Houston for the 1977 National Women's Conference. The film incorporates actual footage of the conference and modern-day interviews with movement leaders and women who attended.

Education and Outreach 

ITVS chose the documentary Sisters of '77 for their Community Connections Project (CCP), a community engagement and educational outreach campaign which reaches out to organizations that invest in building young women leaders; university and high school students who participate in gender studies, political science, history and social studies; organizations that promote women's equal rights, reproductive freedom, lesbian and minority rights; and Internet groups that focus on democracy in action, social change and human rights.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Class 27 is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed for freight work on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR).

Construction and operation

Class 27 locomotives were designed by John Aspinall and 484 were built between 1889 and 1918 at Horwich Works. It was the standard goods engine used by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. Aspinall opted for a two-cylinder format with a non superheated round top boiler. David Joy's configuration of valve gear was employed. By the time Aspinall became general manager of the L&YR on 1 July 1899 more than 400 of the simple but powerful engines had been built. More were built under his successors, Henry Hoy and George Hughes, albeit with some modifications. By 1918 there were the 484 locomotives in the class.

Superheating

Under Hughes, one of the class was subject to early experiments in superheating, the process of increasing the temperature of steam produced in the boiler so the minimum of energy was lost. After months of trials, 20 superheated engines were authorised to be built and the first of the superheated class 27s emerged from Horwich Works in 1909. The superheated 27s had the same boiler pressure as the originals, 180 psi. The first batch had round topped boilers, but in 1912 a second batch of 20 was constructed with Belpaire fireboxes.

Although the class was augmented by 60 engines between 1900 and 1909 and another ten between 1917 and 1918, the last five built reverted to the original 1889 specification.

Ownership changes
It is a tribute to the soundness, usefulness and simple practicality of Aspinall's design that 300 of the class passed into the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) and around 50 were operating in British Railways (BR) service in summer 1960. British Railways took ownership of 235 of the class in 1948 and renumbered them 52088-52529 (with gaps) by the addition of 40000 to their LMS numbers.

32 locomotives were loaned to the Railway Operation Division during World War I, all of them were eventually returned once the war had ended.

Preservation
One locomotive, 1895-built L&YR number 1300 (later LMS 12322 and BR 52322) has survived and is preserved at the East Lancashire Railway. It is owned by Andy Booth and its most recent overhaul was completed in 2021.

The rebuild 
The rebuild of the Class 27 was the L&YR Class 28, designed by George Hughes.

Set the Tone were a Scottish electronic dance group, formed by Kenny Hyslop, Bobby Paterson, Chris Morgan and Evelyn Asiedu.

Background
Hyslop had been a former member of a number of Scottish bands including The Zones, The Skids and Slik. In 1981, he joined Simple Minds but his time with them was brief. Although he played drums on their hit single "Promised You a Miracle", which reached number 13 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1982. Following his departure from Simple Minds, Hyslop got together with Paterson, Morgan and Asiedu to form Set the Tone.

Set the Tone quickly managed to secure a recording contract with Island Records late in 1982, and their first single "Dance Sucker" (b/w "Dance Sucker" remixed by Francois Kevorkian) was released. Despite getting significant play in the clubs of Glasgow, the single did not make a strong impression on the UK Singles Chart peaking at number 62 in January 1983.

Their second single, "Rap Your Love" (b/w "Surprise Your Love") was released in 1983, peaking at number 67 on the UK chart in March 1983. Around this time, their album Shiftin Air Affair was released, but had little impact.

In the meantime, Paterson left and was replaced by Kendal Stubbs, a sound engineer from The Bahamas who had previously worked with Kool And The Gang and Tom Tom Club. Shortly afterwards, Island Records dropped Set the Tone.

Following the demise of Set the Tone, Hyslop formed the One O'Clock Gang who released an album on Arista Records, again without significant commercial success. He went on to be credited on a number of singles and albums, including some by Midge Ure. However, after becoming disillusioned with the music industry, Hyslop became an alternative DJ. This was until leaving the UK for Canada with blues band Big George and The Business. After returning to the UK, Hyslop started teaching drumming at Carlton Studios in Glasgow, as well as producing new music published through Myspace.

The band was briefly featured in the unreleased horror film Grizzly II: The Predator in a few scenes of the rock concert.

Paterson became part of the bands Primal Scream, Love and Money and, later the Poems with Adrian Barry and Bobby Bluebell. He died in 2006. Morgan released "Deep Fat" with Derek Brown and Stuart Lowndes New York, and is currently a San Francisco, California resident. Asiedu works for Universal Music in New York.
