The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA) is an association aiming to oversee pipe band competition, and to promote and encourage the development of pipe band culture worldwide. It was founded in 1930.

Overview
The RSPBA sets the rules and guidelines for pipe band contests in the United Kingdom, administers the events including coordinating adjudication, logistics, and evaluation, and holds Annual General Meetings to ensure that the rules and regulations are up to date. 

The RSPBA also administers and coordinates the  World Pipe Band Championships, held every August in Glasgow. In addition to "The World's", there are four other Major Contests - Scottish, British, European, and UK Championships. At Branch level, there are numerous contests held at Highland Games and any venue which raises the fund to hold a contest. Bands are placed in a Grade system - from Grade 4 up to Grade 1. Competitive standards are set and maintained by the Music Board, and each branch of the RSPBA may appoint two National Council members to represent their Branch Members at the national level.

Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise (; abbreviated MOGE) is a national oil and gas company of Myanmar. It was established in 1963. MOGE royalties and fees are estimated to generate  in annual revenues, about half of the country's foreign currency reserves. The company is a sole operator of oil and gas exploration and production, as well as domestic gas transmission through a  onshore pipeline grid.

History
MOGE was established in 1963 after nationalisation of the Burmese petroleum industry. The nationalised assets of Burmah Oil Company were amalgamated to MOGE.

MOGE discovered the Mann oil field in 1970. Peak production in 1979 was 23,000 barrels of oil per day, about three-quarters of Myanmar's total production.

2021 coup 
Since the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, MOGE has become the largest foreign currency source for the military regime, the State Administration Council. In February 2022, the European Union imposed sanctions on MOGE. In January 2023, the American government sanctioned MOGE officials. , neither the United States nor the United Kingdom have sanctioned MOGE.

In January 2022, TotalEnergies, Chevron, and Woodside Energy announced they would withdraw from the Myanmar market, following pressure from activists who have called for companies to cut financial ties with MOGE. TotalEnergies had operated the Yadana natural gas pipeline project since the 1990s, with a 31.24% stake in the project, while Chevron had a 28.26% stake. TotalEnergies' divestment has increased MOGE's stake in the project, from 15% to 21.8%. Australian-owned Woodside took a  loss from its exit.

In February 2022, Japanese-owned Mitsubishi Group announced its exit. In April 2022, Malaysian-owned Petronas followed suit, withdrawing from the Yetagun gas field project.

Offshore gas fields 
MOGE operates several offshore gas fields, and has a commercial stake in each active project:

 Shwe gas field (15% MOGE stake) – operated by Korean-owned POSCO International (formerly Australian-owned Woodside Energy)
 Yadana gas field (21.8% MOGE stake) – operated by Thai-owned PTTEP (formerly French-owned TotalEnergies)
 Zawtika gas field (20% MOGE stake) – operated by Thai-owned PTTEP
 Yetagun gas field (20.5% MOGE stake) – operated by Thai-owned Gas Petroleum Myanmar (formerly Malaysian-owned Petronas)

Jubilaeum maximum (May 26, 1949) was the papal bull of Pope Pius XII announcing a Holy Year for 1950.

Pope Pius XII invited all faithful to the Eternal City of Rome to celebrate a Holy Year, to change and sanctify one's life.  A renaissance of humanity  was possible, if all people would turn away  from earthly secular  things to things eternal. Public life must respect the commandments of Christ. The world needed to be changed according to the spirit of his gospel. The Catholic bishops were asked to redirect the faithful to this end, whether in Rome or at home.

The great jubilee was to begin at Christmas 1949 and to conclude at Christmas 1950. A complete indulgence was granted to those faithful who visited the four major basilicas – Saint Peter, St. Paul outside the Walls, Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and Saint John Lateran – and undertake a series of prayers there. Exemptions were granted to those who were sick. Pope Pius defined the goal for the Holy Year 1950: to do penance and to pray for the return to Christ of all those who were separated from him.

 Those who hate God, may see his light.  May social justice spread around the globe to ensure that hunger disappears. May  peace enter  the hearts of people and families. May all those be strong, who have to suffer because of justice and persecution.

The Pope prayed for peace in Palestine, whose sacred locations were not secure. He invited all the faithful to Rome, knowing how difficult this was in war-torn Europe. But he reminded the faithful of all the difficulties they often undertook for some earthly gains. How many more difficulties were worthy of eternal salvation? The pilgrimages should not be secular excursions but motivated by pious ideals.

The Latin hymn O Roma nobilis was the official hymn of the Jubilee year.

Riviera is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Kleberg County, Texas, United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 689. It is located  south of Kingsville on U.S. Route 77 (Future Interstate 69E) and  northeast of Falfurrias on Texas State Highway 285.

History
Riviera was founded in 1906 by Theodore Fredrick Koch, a land promoter. He purchased land from the King Ranch to sell to landseekers. He built a townsite along the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway and named it after the French Riviera. Koch ran a train from Chicago to Riviera twice a month to bring more people to the area. Riviera witnessed growth in its first few years, but a drought hit the area in 1915 and then a terrible hurricane hit the area in 1916. When U.S. Highway 77 was constructed, it helped the economy get back on its feet. Now its economy depends on farming. It is also the last stop for about  to Raymondville, going south, so its gas stations and restaurants are used by many travelers heading in that direction.

Education
Riviera is served by Riviera Independent School District.

Grades: 7–12 Kaufer High School
Grades: PK–6 Nanny Elementary School

Olearia subspicata, commonly known as spiked daisy bush or shrubby daisy-bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to continental Australia. It is an erect shrub with more or less linear leaves and white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences.

Description
Olearia subspicata is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of and has woody stems. The leaves are linear to narrowly elliptic, or narrowly egg-shaped or narrowly lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base,  long and  wide and sessile. The edges of the leaves are rolled under, the upper surface is more or less glabrous and the lower surface, when visible, is woolly-hairy. The heads or daisy-like "flowers" are arranged singly or in panicles on the ends of branches or in leaf axils on a peduncle about  long and are  in diameter with a narrowly conical involucre at the base. Each head has up to 7, (usually 2 to 4) ray florets, the ligule  long, surrounding 3 to 10 yellow disc florets. Flowering time varies with distribution and the fruit is an achene  long, the pappus  long with 40 to 50 white to straw-coloured bristles  long.

Taxonomy
This daisy was first formally described in 1845 by William Jackson Hooker who gave it the name Eurybia subspicata in Thomas Mitchell's Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia. In 1867 George Bentham changed the name to Olearia subspicata in Flora Australiensis. The specific epithet (subspicata) means "almost spicate".

Distribution and habitat
Spiked daisy bush grows in shrubland, mallee and mulga and is widely distributed in Western Australia, South Australia, the southern parts of the Northern Territory, western New South Wales, Queensland and the far north-west of Victoria.

Bishop's Court Halt (Manx: Staad Chooyrt Yn Aspick) was a station on the Manx Northern Railway, later owned and operated by the Isle of Man Railway; it served the  residence of the local bishop in the Isle of Man and was a stopping place on a line that ran between St. John's and Ramsey.

Description and history

The halt was built to serve the nearby estate of Bishop's Court, the home of the Bishop of Sodor and Man for the use of the bishop, his staff and visitors.  The halt was marked only by a bench and some steps leading down from the estate.

Dates
The opening date of the halt is not recorded although it probably dates from the opening of the line (). The halt never appeared in the public timetable and saw only limited use which is well documented in The Isle of Man Railway by James I.C. Boyd (Oakwood Press, 1962).

Usage
Although originally intended as a private station, it was opened to the public between  and  and referred to as Bishopscourt Halt.  A hand-operated signal was installed at the site which was operated by the bishop and his guests and staff in order to halt trains for them to board; the guard needed to be informed if someone wanted to alight. After 1935 it was only occasionally used as a private halt until closed in 1950.

The 5-Piece (五枚落ち gomai-ochi) or One Knight handicap in shogi has both of White's major pieces, the rook and the bishop, removed as well as their lances and right knight. Thus, White is left with pawns, golds, silvers, and the left knight.

Black has the usual setup of twenty pieces.

The 5-Piece handicap is not currently part of the Japan Shogi Association's official list of handicaps. It is also not commonly used.

Although uncommon, many professionals feel that the 5-Piece is useful as there is a very large difference between 4-Piece and 6-Piece handicaps according to Kaufman.

Openings

Bishop-66 Opposing Rook variation

1...G-72. White opens with their right gold.

White is more free to focus on the right side of their board compared to the 6-Piece handicap since White's left camp has a stronger defense due to the addition of the left knight. In particular, the knight protects the 33 square from the beginning. So, when Black opens their bishop diagonal in which their bishop is attacking White's 33, White does not immediately need to move a general to defend that square. Similarly, the knight also protects the edge at 13 and does not require an immediate defense if Black's bishop is positioned to attack along the 79–13 diagonal (targeting the 13 square). Therefore, White's left silver and gold are more available to defend toward the center of the board.

2. P-76. Black opens their bishop diagonal activating their bishop.

2...P-84. White pushes their eighth file pawn forward in order to make way for their right gold.

3. B-66. Black moves their bishop to the sixth file in order to support an attack on Black's left side. The move also forces White to move their generals to this side.

3...G-83. White is forced to the defend the pawn on 84 as well as their right edge.

4. P-86. Black will develop an Opposing Rook attack up the eighth file, which the pawn push prepares for.

5. R-88. Opposing Rook.

5...P-64. White pushes the sixth file pawn to prepare for an attack on the head of Black's bishop.

6. P-56. Black advances their central pawn in order to give their bishop a path of retreat (the 57 square) from White's encroaching pawn while still maintaining pressure on the right edge of White's camp.

5-Piece Left Knight handicap

The other five piece handicap is the left knight variant. It is the same as the more common handicap except with White's left knight removed instead of the right knight. (Thus, White plays with pawn, golds, silvers, and the right knight.)

According to Kaufman, this handicap is intermediate between the 6-Piece handicap and the usual 5-Piece (Right Knight) handicap mentioned above. It is a more severe handicap for White since Black's major pieces (the rook and bishop) are targeted toward White's left side. Therefore, removing White's left knight leaves White in a more vulnerable state compared to the Right Knight 5-Piece handicap.
