Raffaele Calace (1863 – 1934) was an Italian mandolin player, composer, and luthier.

Calace was born in Naples, Italy, the son of Antonio Calace, a successful instrument maker. He initially trained to be a musician, discovered the mandolin, and soon became a virtuoso. After Calace graduated with high honors from the Regio Conservatorio di Musica in Naples, he set out to elevate the mandolin's place in music. To achieve this, he toured Europe and Japan, giving concerts on the Neapolitan mandolin and liuto cantabile. The liuto cantabile is a bass variant of the mandolin family that scholars believe Neapolitan luthiers of the Vinaccia family created in the last decade of the 19th century, and that Raffaele Calace subsequently perfected. Raffaele Calace made three long-playing phonograph records on which he plays mandolin and liuto cantabile.

Raffaele Calace wrote about 200 compositions for mandolin. These include concert works for mandolin solo and compositions for mandolin and other instruments—duets with piano, trio combinations with mandola and guitar, the Romantic Mandolin Quartet (two mandolins, mandola, and guitar), and quintets.

Calace also wrote pedagogical works, including a mandolin method, Schule für Mandoline, and a method for playing the liuto cantabile. The mandolin method was published in 1910 and elaborates on the 18th-century Italian mandolin tutors by Giovanni Battista Gervasio (c. 1725–c. 1785), Gabriele Leone (c. 1725–c. 1790) and others. It shows the development of the traditional Italian playing style. The Calace school forms a bridge between other modern methods for mandolin, such as those by Raffaele Calace's countryman Silvio Ranieri (1882-1956), a Roman virtuoso who settled in Brussels, and the American-based Italian mandolinist Giuseppe Pettine (1874-1966).

Raffaele Calace and his brother Nicola Calace (1859-1923), also a musician, also became instrument makers in the Neapolitan mandolin family. They introduced improvements in building techniques and modernized the Neapolitan mandolin. Among other innovations, they enlarged its sound box and—like the Roman luthier Luigi Embergher—extended the fingerboard over the sound hole to increase the range.

When Nicola Calace emigrated to the United States in 1898, Raffaele continued the Calace workshop with his daughter Maria (also a mandolin player), and his son Giuseppe Calace. Today the Calace atelier is run by Calace's grandson Raffaele Jr.

Lebbiea is a monotypic genus of plants within the family Podostemaceae, with Lebbiea grandiflora as its only species. It is a critically endangered species of rheophytic herb native to Sierra Leone and Guinea. It was discovered by, and named after, professor Aiah Lebbie in 2018.

Description
Lebbiea is a small rheophytic herb growing on bare rocks submerged in flowing, well aerated clear water. The genus has a distinct flower morphology within Podostemaceae, and has a pillar-like haptera which completely elevates the horizontal root and the shoot above the substrate. The flowers are the largest of any African species of Podostemaceae, hence the species name L. grandiflora. Lebbiae thrives during the wet season, surviving the dry season only as seeds.

Range and conservation
Lebbiea is only known from two sites, the fast-moving currents beneath Sewa Rapids in Sierra Leone and the Koukoutamba falls in Guinea. The Sewa Rapids is being adversely affected by silt from mining, and both sites are earmarked for hydroelectric projects. The extremely small range and the development projects caused the plant to be listed as critically endangered.

The Columbus Athenaeum, built as the Masonic Temple, is a historic building in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was constructed as a meeting hall for local area Masonic lodges in 1899, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

The building was first designed in 1898 by Yost & Packard, Kremer & Hart and John M. Freese. It was substantially expanded in 1912-13 under the design of Stribling & Lum, and was renovated further in 1935. By the 1913 renovation, it was considered the largest building used solely for the Masonic order. At a later date it housed a commercial catering venue for weddings and other events.

Besieged City () is a 2008 Hong Kong film directed by Lawrence Ah Mon. It has a Category III rating in Hong Kong.

Elizabeth Kerr wrote in The Hollywood Reporter, "[Besieged City] is a quasi-realist Hong Kong urban drama", and film critic Paul Fonoroff wrote that Besieged City was the "21st-century sequel" of Lawrence Ah Mon's 1988 debut feature film Gangs. The title refers to Tin Shui Wai, a satellite town in the northwestern New Territories of Hong Kong.

 Tang Tak Po as Ho Ling-kit
 Wong Yat Ho as Ho Chun-kit
 Wong Hau Yan as Panadoll
 Joman Chiang
 Jonathan Cheung as Chu Hin
 Dada Chan Ching as Ceci
 Joman Chiang as Yee-wah
 Sunny Luk

Film critic Paul Fonoroff wrote, "The mixture of the realistic and theatric attains a consistency due in large part to the naturalism of its cast of screen neophytes, a quality that has always been a hallmark of Lau's youth films, most recently in Spacked Out (2000) and Gimme Gimme (2001).

Awards and nominations
Besieged City was nominated twice at the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2008:
 Best New Performer - Wong Hau-Yan
 Best Art Direction - Yank Wong

A spar is a marine structure, used for floating oil/gas platforms. Named after navigation channel Spar buoys, spar platforms were developed as an extreme deepwater alternative to conventional platforms. The deep draft design of spars makes them less affected by wind, wave, and currents and allows for both dry tree and subsea production.

A spar platform consists of a large-diameter, vertical buoyant cylinder(s) supporting a deck. Spars are permanently anchored to the seabed by a spread mooring system composed of either a chain-wire-chain or chain-polyester-chain configuration. The cylinder comprises a number of tanks; the lowest contains ballast, mid-water and/or extracted oil, the upper, air for buoyancy. Helical strakes are fitted to larger & more recent designs to mitigate the effects of vortex-induced motion. 

There are three primary types of spars; classic, truss, and cell:

 A classic spar consists of a tall-height, cylindrical hull, with tanks for heavy ballast located at the bottom of the cylinder.

 A truss spar comprises three parts, a short-height, large-diameter cylindrical hull, atop a truss structure, atop tanks for heavy ballast.

 A cell spar consists of a cluster of small-diameter cylinders and relatively speaking, cheap to manufacture.  
Cylinders are either buoyancy only, or subdivided into buoyancy and ballast. 

The first spar platform was the Brent Spar. Designed for storage and offloading of crude oil products, it was installed on the UK's Brent Field in June 1976. Shell's attempted deep sea disposal of the platform in the 1990s created a massive environmental backlash by Greenpeace. The spar was eventually dismantled, with ballast used as a foundation for a quay in Norway.

The first spar platform designed for production was the Neptune spar, located in the Gulf of Mexico, and was installed in September 1996 by Kerr McGee.

The first, and thus far unique, cell-spar platform was Kerr-McGee's Red Hawk spar (7 ea.  diameter cells). Field-depletion occurred 4 years after production started, so Red Hawk was decommissioned in 2014 under the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement's "Rigs-to-Reefs" program, at which time it was the deepest floating platform to be decommissioned.

The world's deepest production platform is Perdido, a truss spar in the Gulf of Mexico, with a mean water depth of . It is operated by Royal Dutch Shell and was built at a cost of $3 billion.

Chalcorana mocquardi is a species of "true frogs" in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, including some offshore islands. It is probably similar in its ecological requirements to Chalcorana chalconota and is associated with small lowland forest streams. It occurs in both primary and degraded forests, provided that a reasonably closed canopy remains. Adults disperse more widely in the forest, whereas the tadpoles live in side pools and slow-flowing, deeper sections of the streams. No significant threats to this species are known.

On Demand Distribution (OD2) was one of the first online music download services, which existed from 1999 until 2009.

History
On Demand Distribution, short O-D2 or OD2, was founded by English musician Peter Gabriel, Real World, Real World CEO Mike Large and industry executives Charles Grimsdale, Dave Shephard and David Munns in November 1999. The company based their infrastructure on the Windows Media framework.

OD2 launched their service on 24 May 2000 in London, offering downloads from initial independent record companies Mushroom, Mute, V2, Real World, and dance music licensing agency Dynamik-Music the following day.

After OD2 having forged partnerships with record labels BMG, EMI, Warner and the Association of Independent Music (AIM), Universal Music licensed its catalogue to OD2 in 2002.

OD2 was making a loss but in June 2004 was bought by US digital music distributor company Loudeye for $40 million. Loudeye sold its other music distribution business in 2006, making OD2 its principal business. In October 2006 Loudeye was acquired by Finnish company Nokia for $60 million. The service was renamed Nokia Music Store. 

Rival digital music distributors included MusicNet which was used by EMI, AOL/Time Warner, BMG and HMV - the latter of which defected from OD2 in 2005.

On 1 April 2009 OD2 informed all existing customers by e-mail and on the site that it was to close on 29 April 2009 and recommended all customers download Nokia Music.

Prior to its closure in 2009, its technology had been used by over 100 music download sites including MSN Music UK, MyCokeMusic, Planet Internet (KPN), Wanadoo and CD WOW!.
