The play-offs of the 2004 Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Group I were the final stages of the Group I Zonal Competition involving teams from Asia and Oceania. Using the positions determined in their pools, the nine teams faced off to determine their placing in the 2004 Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Group I, the top two countries of each pool played for first to fourth placings, while the bottom two of each pool competed for sixth to ninth. The teams that ended up placing first overall advanced to World Group play-offs, whilst those coming in eighth were relegated down to Group II for the next year.

Promotion play-offs
The first and second placed teams of each pool were placed against each other in two head-to-head rounds. The winner of the rounds advanced to the World Group play-offs, where they would get a chance to advance to the World Group for next year.

Thailand vs. India

New Zealand vs. Indonesia

Fifth
As there was only four teams from Pool A as opposed to the five from Pool B, the third-placed team from Pool B () had no equivalent to play against. Thus the South Koreans were automatically allocated fifth place.

Relegation play-offs
The last and second-to-last placed teams of each pool were placed against each other in two head-to-head rounds. The losing team of the rounds were relegated to Group II for next year.

China vs. Uzbekistan

Philippines vs. Chinese Taipei

Massonia depressa, the hedgehog lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, that is native to South Africa. Growing to  tall by  broad, it is a bulbous  perennial with two opposite leaves lying flat on the ground. A spiky cluster of white, yellow or brown flowers appears at the centre of the plant in winter. The flowers are uniquely scented like yeast, to attract pollination by gerbils and other rodents. The anther is exceptionally long - up to 2mm. The seed capsules are inflated, enabling them to be wind-borne.

This species has been observed to be variable in the wild, and numerous attempts have been made to resolve its true relationships within the genus Massonia, so far without success.

The Latin specific epithet depressa means “having a flattened appearance”, a feature common to all in this genus.

When cultivated in a temperate environment, M. depressa does not tolerate freezing temperatures, so must be grown under glass in a cold greenhouse or similar. It requires full sun, and dry conditions during the dormant season (starting in spring). It has been given the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

The Blackburne Shilling Gambit or the Schilling-Kostić gambit is the name facetiously given to a dubious chess opening, derived from an offshoot of the Italian Game, that begins:

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Nd4

It is also sometimes referred to as the Kostić Gambit after the Serbian grandmaster Borislav Kostić, who played it in the early 20th century.

History
Wilhelm Steinitz made the first known mention of this line, noting it in 1895 in the Addenda to his Modern Chess Instructor, Part II. The earliest game with the opening on chessgames.com, Dunlop–Hicks, New Zealand Championship, dates from 1911. Another early game, mentioned by Bill Wall, is Muhlock–Kostić, Cologne, 1912.

The  beginning 4.Nxe5 "continues to catch victims, including two in successive rounds at Blackpool 1987".

Analysis
Black's third move is a weak, time-wasting move. Steinitz recommended 4.0-0 or 4.Nxd4 in response. International Master Jeremy Silman writes that White has an advantage after 4.0-0 (Paul Keres gives 4.0-0 d6 5.Nxd4 exd4 6.c3 "with the better position".), 4.c3, or 4.Nc3. He recommends as best 4.Nxd4 exd4 5.c3 d5 6.exd5 Qe7+ 7.Kf1 . If 5...dxc3, White has the initiative in the  after 6.Nxc3 d6 7.d4 ; if 5...Bc5, Black loses a pawn to 6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Qh5+ (Wolfgang Unzicker).

The only virtue of 3...Nd4 is that it sets a trap that has ensnared many players. After the natural 4.Nxe5?, Black wins  with 4...Qg5! Now the obvious 5.Nxf7 loses to 5...Qxg2, for example 6.Rf1 Qxe4+ 7.Be2 Nf3, a smothered mate. This trap is what gives the line its name; the great English master Joseph Henry Blackburne reputedly used it to win one shilling per game from café visitors. Wall has questioned this, however, stating that there are no recorded games of Blackburne playing this line.

The opening is not a true gambit, since White cannot take the pawn on e5 without losing material; however, after 4.Nxe5 Qg5, White can maintain a  game with 5.Bxf7+! Steinitz wrote that this move, "followed by castling, is now White's best chance and in some measure a promising one, considering that he has two Pawns and the attack for the piece". G. Chandler–, Stockbridge 1983, continued 5...Ke7 (5...Kd8 is better)  6.0-0 Qxe5 7.Bxg8 Rxg8 8.c3 Nc6 (Silman analyzes 8...Ne6 9.d4 Qf6 10.f4 when "with two pawns and an attack for the sacrificed piece, White’s compensation isn’t in doubt".) 9.d4 ( Keres) Qa5? 10.d5 Ne5? 11.Qh5! Nf7? 12.d6+!  (in light of 13.Qxa5). 

Graham Burgess writes that 3...Nd4 is also known as the "Oh my God!" trap, as for full effect, Black is supposed to make this exclamation, pretending to have accidentally blundered the e-pawn. Burgess condemns this behavior as unethical, and notes that the trap, if avoided, leaves White with a large advantage.

Kamron Habibullah (born October 23, 2003) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Born in Uzbekistan, he has represented Canada at the under-17 and under-20 level.

Early life
Habibullah was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan to Afghan Uzbek parents and emigrated to British Columbia, Canada with his family at the age of two. He played youth soccer at age seven with South Burnaby Metro SC, and later played with Burnaby Selects, and Mountain United FC. He joined the Whitecaps academy system in 2016 at the age of 12. He went on to score 21 goals in 58 appearances from U-16 to U-19, netting four goals at the 2019 Generation Adidas Cup and scoring the winning goal against Real Madrid Academy.

Club career
After spending the duration of the preseason with the first team, it was announced on April 23, 2021, that Vancouver Whitecaps FC would be signing Habibullah to a multi-year MLS homegrown contract. He made his first team debut the following week, replacing Caio Alexandre in the 88th minute of a 1–0 loss to the Colorado Rapids.

On March 11, 2022, Habibullah went on loan with Canadian Premier League side Pacific FC. He made his debut in Pacific's season-opener against Forge FC on April 10.

International career
His parents' Afghan link and his Uzbek ancestry, himself belonging to the Uzbek Afghan minority, means Kamron is available to play for either Canada, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.

Habibullah was first called up to a Canada U17 national camp in March 2019 by head coach Andrew Olivieri, in preparation for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He went on to score three goals in qualifying and appeared three times for Canada at the U-17 World Cup finals.

In April 2022, Habibullah was called up to the Canadian Under-20 side for two friendly matches against Costa Rica. He scored a goal in the first friendly on April 15. In June 2022, he was officially called up by the Canadian U-20 team for the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.

is a Japanese Magic: The Gathering player best known for winning the 2006 World Championship, 2011 Team World Championship and being inducted into the 2014 Hall of Fame. Mihara's resume includes four more Pro Tour top eights, and eight Grand Prix top eights, including two wins.

Career 
Mihara's Pro Tour career began at Pro Tour Venice in 2003. Over the three years that followed, he played a number of Pro Tours, but without much success; his best finish being a 53rd place at Pro Tour Kobe. Mihara first came to prominence at the end of the 2005 season, with a Grand Prix top eight in Kitakyuushuu, a top eight that featured seven other players who had all made the top eight of a Pro Tour before. The following season, Mihara managed to establish himself on the Pro Tour, playing all five events and designing the CAL, one of the major decks in extended. Mihara's breakout performance came at that year's World Championship in Paris. After three days of competition, Mihara was in seventh place, and in the quarterfinals of a Pro Tour for the first time. In the quarterfinal, Mihara played Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa, and almost lost the match to misplays, but managed to draw the exact sequence of cards he needed to win. Mihara's semifinal opponent, Gabriel Nassif, was considered to be a heavy favourite in the match, but Mihara managed the upset in five games. In the final, he played Ryo Ogura. Mihara handily defeated his countryman without losing a single game. The following season, work commitments meant Mihara could not play as many events, but he made the most of the ones he did attend. After a sixteenth-place finish in Geneva, Mihara returned to the top eight at Pro Tour Valencia. Mihara was unable to duplicate his success from the World Championship, and lost in the quarterfinals to Giulio Barra by three games to zero. Mihara rounded out his season with an eighteenth-place finish at the World Championship, to finish the season on 32 pro points. After an unimpressive 152nd-place finish in Kuala Lumpur, Mihara made his third Pro Tour top eight at Pro Tour Hollywood 2008. Like in Valencia the previous year, Mihara's tournament ended in the quarterfinals, losing to Jan Ruess in five games. Although unable to impress on tour, his best finish being a 113th place, Mihara did manage a strong finish off Tour, winning Grand Prix Okayama. The 2009 season was somewhat of an off year for Mihara. While he did not put up any top eights on the Pro Tour or Grand Prix level, he did earn enough points to remain qualified. His only top eight since then was a 2nd-place finish at Grand Prix Sendai 2010, losing to Brian Kibler in the finals. Later that season, Mihara finished third at Japanese nationals earning a spot on the Japanese national team, alongside Ryuuichirou Ishida and Tamoya Fujimoto. At worlds, the Japanese team won the team competition, making Mihara only the fourth player to win both individual and team world titles.

In mathematical analysis, the concept of a mean-periodic function is a generalization of the concept of a periodic function introduced in 1935 by Jean Delsarte. Further results were made by Laurent Schwartz.

Definition
Consider a complex-valued function  of a real variable.  The function  is periodic with period  precisely if for all real , we have . This can be written as

 

where  is the difference between the Dirac measures at 0 and a.  The function  is mean-periodic if it satisfies the same equation (1), but where  is some arbitrary nonzero measure with compact (hence bounded) support.

Equation (1) can be interpreted as a convolution, so that a mean-periodic function is a function  for which there exists a compactly supported (signed) Borel measure  for which .

There are several well-known equivalent definitions.

Relation to almost periodic functions
Mean-periodic functions are a separate generalization of periodic functions from the almost periodic functions. For instance, exponential functions are mean-periodic since , but they are not almost periodic as they are unbounded. Still, there is a theorem which states that any uniformly continuous bounded mean-periodic function is almost periodic (in the sense of Bohr). In the other direction, there exist almost periodic functions which are not mean-periodic.

Applications
In work related to the Langlands correspondence, the mean-periodicity of certain (functions related to) zeta functions associated to an arithmetic scheme have been suggested to correspond to automorphicity of the related L-function. There is a certain class of mean-periodic functions arising from number theory.

Athabasca Pass (el. ) is a high mountain pass in the Canadian Rockies on the border between Alberta and British Columbia.  In fur trade days it connected Jasper House on the Athabasca River with Boat Encampment on the Columbia River.

The pass lies between Mount Brown and McGillivray Ridge.  It is south of Yellowhead Pass and north of Howse Pass.  The Committee's Punch Bowl, a glacial lake on the continental divide at the summit of the pass, is the headwaters of the Whirlpool River, a tributary of the Athabasca River.  It also has an outlet to Pacific Creek, a tributary of the Columbia River to the south.

Athabaca Pass is first mentioned in the historical record in the papers of British explorer David Thompson, who was shown the route in 1811 by an Iroquois man named Thomas. It became a major point on the fur trade route between Rupert's Land and the Columbia District, used by the York Factory Express. and in recognition of that usage was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1971.

Ovčiarsko Tunnel is a highway tunnel under construction in northern Slovakia near Žilina, on the D1 highway. The tunnel is planned to be 2,367 m long in the south and 2,360 m in the north. An exploration gallery was driven from 1996 to 1998. Originally, the tunnel was planned to be built with all southern Žilina's bypass between 2010 and 2014 as a PPP project. But the new Iveta Radičova's executive cancelled it in 2010 and made a decision to be financed by EU funds and the state budget. The construction started in July 2014 and the north tube was pierced in April 2016. Perforation of the south tube is planned in July 2016. The general contractor of this tunnel is Uranpres.

The opening date of the tunnel was planned for September 2018.
