The annual United States Dance Championships (USDC), previously called the United States Ballroom Championships (USBC) and the United States DanceSport Championships (USDSC), is recognized by the National Dance Council of America (NDCA) and the World Dance & DanceSport Council (WD&DSC) as determining the majority of the United States national professional ballroom dance champions.  

The competition was held annually from 1971 to 1974 in New York City at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.  It was held in Washington, DC, in 1975, and then returned to the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City from 1976 to 1981.  In 1982, it was held at the Felt Forum at Madison Square Garden, returning to the Waldorf-Astoria in 1983, and was shared by the two venues in 1984.  The competition moved to the Miami (Florida) area in 1985.  The competition, now held since 2007 in Orlando, Florida, will celebrate its 37th year in 2008 (September 2nd through 6th).

Although the NDCA and WD&DSC recognize the United States Dance Championships as determining the professional United States Champions, the International DanceSport Federation (IDSF), the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), and the Amateur Sports Act of the United States Congress recognize USA Dance, formerly known as the United States Amateur Ballroom Dance Association (USABDA), as the National Governing Body in the United States for DanceSport (i.e., competitive ballroom dancing).  USA Dance holds the annual USA Dance National DanceSport Championships where top dance couples are awarded the opportunity to represent the United States at IDSF World Championships.

St Mary's Church, Tenby is a church located in the centre of the town of Tenby in Pembrokeshire, western Wales. The church is in the Diocese of Saint David's within the Church in Wales, and a member of the Anglican Communion. It is the parish church for St Mary In Liberty (the borough and town) and St Mary Out Liberty (the rural area to the north).

History and description
The majority of the remaining building dates from the 15th century with some features retained from the 13th century. There is believed to have been a church on the site since Norman times, and Gerald of Wales is counted as the earliest Rector of Tenby.

The 13th Century chancel has a 'wagon' roof and the panelled ceiling has 75 bosses carved in a variety of designs including foliage, grotesques, fishes, a mermaid, and a green man, as well as the figure of Jesus surrounded by the four Apostles. St. Thomas' Chapel was added in the mid-15th Century, and the St. Nicholas Chapel was added c. 1485. The spire is also a 15th-century addition. Inside the church is a 15th-century font and a 15th-century bell, cast with the letters 'Sancta Anna'.

The tower is positioned to one side of the chancel and dates from the late 13th century. The first floor served as a chapel, and still has a stone altar and piscina in place.

The church has two fonts, one dating from the 15th century and another late Gothic example from the 19th century.

The church contains several memorials, including the tombs of Thomas and John White, both Mayors of Tenby in the fifteenth century. Thomas White was famous for hiding a young Henry Tudor from King Richard III.

There is also a wall tablet in memory of Robert Recorde, an Elizabethan scholar, who introduced the equals sign ( = ) to mathematical calculation.

The church was Grade I listed in 1951 as being "an outstanding late medieval church with exceptional roofs and monuments".

In the churchyard, 20 metres west of the church, are the remains of what is believed to be a late 15th-century choir school or college. The wall includes a pointed arched doorway. These remains are Grade II* listed.

The Dhaka–Narayanganj AC Bus is a inter-city bus service connecting Dhaka and Narayanganj. The service is operated by the Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) and was launched in 2011.

Before 2005 there was a bus transport service between Dhaka and Narayanganj which was closed later. Two organizations namely Citizen Committee and Jatri Adhikar Forum have been agitating for a long time demanding the re-operation of the bus. On 22 June 2011, after the citizen committee met the chairman of BRTC, vice-chairman of the civic committee claimed that BRTC had promised to start bus transport services on the promised route. Buses were brought to the central depot of Narayanganj on 12 July to start the bus service. Then on 9 August 2011, this bus transport service was inaugurated. In 2017, another bus service called Shitol Paribahan of politician Shamim Osman was launched on the same route and the bus service stopped. On 22 May 2019, this bus transport service was restarted in Gulistan in the presence of Obaidul Quader, Road Transport and Bridges Minister. A few days after the resumption of the service, there were complaints that some transport workers were obstructing the installation of ticket sales counters of BRTC buses in Narayanganj. In 2021, all bus services in Narayanganj were stopped due to the strike called by transport workers to protest against the increase in fuel prices, but BRTC AC buses to Dhaka were running. As a result, the autorickshaws there could not establish a monopoly of higher fares. Due to the increase in fuel prices, the authority increased the ticket price to , which was reduced to  in view of the demands of the passengers.

Moonchildren (originally titled Cancer) is a play by Brooklyn-based playwright Michael Weller.  The play chronicles a year in the life of the "moonchildren" referred to in the title: eight college students living communally together in an off-campus attic in the mid-1960s.

Productions
The work was first performed in 1970 with the title Cancer in London at the Royal Court Theater under the direction of Martin Rosen. Weller changed the name to Moonchildren shortly thereafter for the work's American premiere at the Arena Stage (Washington, DC) in November 1971, which was directed by Alan Schneider.

The Arena Stage production moved to the Royale Theatre on Broadway the following year, giving its first of 28 performances on February 11, 1972. The cast included Kevin Conway as Mike, Maureen Anderman as Ruth, Edward Herrmann as Cootie, Christopher Guest as Norman, Stephen Collins as Dick, Jill Eikenberry as Kathy, James Woods as Bob Rettie, Cara Duff-MacCormick as Shelly, Donegan Smith as Ralph, Robert Prosky as Mr. Willis, Ron McLarty as Lucky, Louis Zorich as Bream, Peter Alzado as Effing, Salem Ludwig as Uncle Murry, George Curley as Cootie's Father, and Michael Tucker as Milkman. Duff-MacCormick garnered a Tony Award nomination for best Featured Actress in a play and Weller won a Drama Desk Award for Most Promising Playwright. Anderman, Duff-MacCormick, and Woods all won Theatre World Awards for their portrayals.

Reviews
The play has been deemed a "seminal work" for Weller and is according to one reviewer:
a stunning work, one that has weathered the years to become that rarity, a contemporary play that, while rooted in the era in which it was written, remains contemporary because its underlying themes are universal and unchanging.
According to a review in The New York Times, Weller wrote this play about the generation that came of age during the Vietnam War "with a discerning eye and a journalist's detachment".

The  (Biographical Dictionary of Finland, BLF) is a Finnish Swedish-language biographical dictionary that was published between 2008–2011.

In Finland, Suomen kansallisbiografia ('the National Biography of Finland') was published between 2003–2007 in ten volumes, edited by historian and professor Matti Klinge. In 2008, the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland began publishing a corresponding Swedish-language national biographical dictionary, . The editorial board is chaired by professor Henrik Meinander and the chief editor is associate professor .

The BLF is partly based on the content of the Finnish-language , from which articles are translated, but it also contains original articles – primarily about people connected to the Swedish-speaking culture in Finland – which have in turn been partly translated into . In addition to biographies of people born in Finland, it also contains those of foreign-born explorers who made Finland known abroad, as well as leading commanders of foreign or occupying powers who had a major influence on domestic affairs. In terms of the selection of persons,  and  may deal with the same persons as in the Swedish Svenskt biografiskt lexikon, but from a Finnish perspective.

The dictionary is divided into three eras: volume one, the Swedish era; volume two, the Russian era; and volumes three and four, the Republic era. The printed work was published jointly by the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland and the Swedish publisher Atlantis in 2008–2011. Since 2014, all articles have been freely available on its website.

Hypatos  (; plural: , hypatoi) and the variant apo hypatōn (, "former hypatos", literally: "from among the consuls") was a Byzantine court dignity, originally the Greek translation of Latin consul (the literal meaning of hypatos is "the supreme one," which reflects the office, but not the etymology of the Roman consul). The dignity arose from the honorary consulships awarded in the late Roman Empire, and survived until the early 12th century. It was often conferred upon the rulers of the south Italian principalities. In Italian documents the term was sometimes Latinised as hypatus or ypatus, and in Italian historiography one finds ipato. The feminine form of the term was hypatissa ().

The creation of ordinary consuls in Late Antiquity was irregular, and after their division in 395, the two halves of the Roman Empire tended to divide the two consulships between them; the office, which had become both effectively honorary and quite expensive, sometimes lay vacant for years. The emperors were often ordinary consuls, and after 541, with the exception of the emperor, who assumed the office on his accession, no ordinary consuls were appointed. From that point on, only honorary consulships were granted, and the title declined much in prestige. Throughout the 6th to 9th centuries there is ample sigillographic evidence of functionaries bearing the title, usually attached to mid-level administrative and fiscal posts. In the late 9th-century hierarchy, however, as related by the Klētorologion of Philotheos, it was one of the lower dignities intended for "bearded men" (i.e. non-eunuchs), ranking between the spatharios and the stratōr. Its badge of office, whose award also conferred the dignity, was a diploma. In the Escorial Taktikon, written , the hypatos appears to be a regular office instead of an honorary dignity, endowed with judicial duties according to Nicolas Oikonomides. In the 11th century, the title rose again in importance, apparently outranking the prōtospatharios, but disappeared entirely by the mid-12th century.

The title was often conferred to the rulers of south Italian city-states of the Tyrrhenian coast, which recognised Byzantine authority in the 9th through 11th centuries. Eventually, with the waning of Byzantine power in the region, these rulers took on more familiar Latin titles like consul and dux, modern duke. The most famous hypatoi were those of Gaeta. John I of Gaeta won the title patrikios from the Byzantine emperor, as a reward for defeating the Saracens. In Gaeta, the feminine title hypatissa () was replaced by doúkissa (Italian: ducissa) during the reign of Docibilis II of Gaeta and his wife Orania, in the first half of the 10th century.

The title was the root of the titles anthypatos ("vice-hypatos", the translation of proconsul) and dishypatos ("twice hypatos"), as well as the office of hypatos tōn philosophōn (, "chief of the philosophers"), a title given to the head of the imperial university of Constantinople in the 11th-14th centuries.
