The Trois valses romantiques (Three Romantic Waltzes) are a set of three pieces for two pianos by Emmanuel Chabrier.

History
Chabrier began the composition in mid 1880, completing the first two; the third was not completed until the summer of 1883. Chabrier wrote his friend Paul Lacome that he was damned if he knew why he was writing them, as the Enochs (his publishers) will find them too long, too difficult; but that he thought they might sell well, particularly to young ladies who play the piano seriously. Myers notes the considerable demands made on players’ technique.

To inform his publisher Georges Costallat that he had finally managed to finish the third waltz, on 3 September 1883 he wrote an acrostic postcard, thus:
—Oiseau qui se pare des plumes du paon. (geai)
—Qualification de la nommée Carabosse. (fée)
—Note de la gamme. (la)
—Ousqu’il y avait un cheval de bois. (Troie)
—Peintre ordinaire de la place St Marc (Venise). (Ziem)
—Eau de table. (Vals)
Ah ! ah ! ah!
E. CH.
Ile-faulx-Hill-Luminais !

Performance history
The waltzes were given their first public performance at the Société Nationale de Musique on 15 December 1883 with André Messager and the composer playing. Messager would later play them with Francis Poulenc.
They are dedicated to the wife of Chabrier's publisher, Madame G. Costallat. For a performance in 1887, d’Indy wrote that Chabrier told him not to play the pieces as if they were by a member of the Institut! – this was followed by a lesson in playing Chabrier, wide a huge range of expression and interpretative detail.

Claude Debussy studied them at the Villa Medicis in 1885 with Paul Vidal, who together played them to Franz Liszt, who was visiting Rome in 1886. In 1893 at the Salle Pleyel, Maurice Ravel and Ricardo Viñes played them to Chabrier who spent an hour and a half giving them his encouragement and advice.

The waltzes were orchestrated by a champion of Chabrier's works, conductor-composer Felix Mottl, who also made the orchestral version of the same composer's Bourrée fantasque and Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder.

The music
Delage notes the many novelties in the pieces – chains of ninths, methodic use of pentatonic scales in the third waltz, and sharp and spontaneous rhythms.

Valse I
The first waltz in D major is the shortest of the three: after an introductory carillon, the waltz spins along in bubbling form.

Valse II
The second waltz in E major is calmer than the first, with an opening fanfare anticipating the Fête Polonaise of Le roi malgré lui.

Valse III
The third waltz in F major is the culmination of the set, where certain passages presage Debussy (Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, La terrasse au clair de lune from the Préludes) and Ravel (Jardin féeerique from Ma Mère l'Oie).

The Jivakarama vihara, also Jivaka Amravana vihara (Amra-vana means "mango garden"), Jivakamravana, Jivakamrabana or Jivakavanarama, is an ancient Buddhist monastery, or vihara, established at the time of the Buddha.

The location, on the outside of Rajagriha in Nalanda district in the Indian state of Bihar, just below the Gijjhakuta hill, was originally a mango orchard which was donated to the sangha by the famous royal doctor Jivaka, who was in the service of king Bimbisara. Jivaka built a monastery on the location and also donated it to the sangha. The Buddha is said to have been treated once in the monastery, after having been injured by Devadatta.

The initial monastery was formed of two long parallel and oblong halls, large dormitories where the monks could eat and sleep, in conformity with the original regulations of the sangha, without any private cells. Other halls were then constructed, mostly long, oblong building as well, which remind of the oblong construction of several of the Barabar caves.

The archaeological evidence point to a very early construction for this vihara, probably circa 530-400 BCE. This vihara is very different from the later quadrangular vihara built from the 1st century CE in Gandhara. The absence of stupa is also noticeable, contrary to the viharas built with stupas at a later date. The construction method (rubble foundation) and artifacts discovered on the spot, such as iron nails, terracotta balls or coarse red pottery all point to a date no later than the 5th century BCE.

Lillian Shattuck (1857–1940) was an early American violinist. A student of Julius Eichberg in Boston, in the late 1880s she established a string quartet consisting only of women, the first of its kind in the United States. The other members of the quartet were Lillian Chandler, violin, Leslie Launder, cello and Abbie Shepardson, viola.

They performed together in chamber concerts in New York, Massachusetts and Philadelphia. One was held in November 1877 in Boston's Union Hall. It included Eichberg's Concertante for Four Violins as well as other pieces by Haydn and Mendelssohn. Shattuck was among those who travelled with Eichberg and members of the quartet to study in Berlin. Joseph Joachim was so surprised to see a quartet consisting only of women that he allowed all four to attend the Conservatory and study under him for a whole year.

In the 1890s, the quartet performed in the southern states and Canada. Shattuck later returned to Boston where she established a music school. A scrapbook belonging to Shattuck with over 200 photographs of her violin students is to be found in the Schlesinger Library.

The chestnut-bellied thrush (Turdus fulviventris) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest.

Description
The chestnut-bellied thrush grows to a length of about . The adult male has a black head, a black throat with some white streaking, a dark grey back and dusky wings and tail. The upper breast is pale grey and the lower breast and belly are rufous. The beak is yellow, the narrow eye ring is orange and the legs are dull yellow. The female is similar in appearance but rather duller. It is the only thrush in the genus Turdus with a rufous belly to be found in the northern Andes. The song is not often uttered, but consists of a series of disjointed phrases with some buzzes and short trills in between.

Distribution and habitat
The chestnut-bellied thrush is native to northwestern South America. Its range includes western Venezuela, western Colombia, Ecuador, northern Peru and northwestern Bolivia. Its habitat is woodland and the canopy and edges of montane forests at altitudes between .

Ecology
This thrush often occurs singly and may also be seen in pairs, but does not usually join mixed flocks. Males may sing from high in the canopy, and both sexes often forage among the twigs and branches. It sometimes descends to ground level, particularly besides roads and trails, and turns over the leaf litter, searching for invertebrates, and may remain in one area for some time.

Status
The chestnut-bellied thrush is described as an uncommon species and the population is thought to be declining slowly as the bird's woodland habitat is degraded. However, it has a very large range and presumably a large total population, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".

John Rosenbaum (September 3, 1934 in Brigantine, New Jersey – September 30, 2003 in Alameda, California), was an American physicist, educator
 and kinetic sculptor, associated with the San Francisco Renaissance
 and the counterculture of the 1960s.

Biography
John Rosenbaum graduated from Cornell University with a degree in engineering physics in 1957. He moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1960s. He contributed to the Harvard Project Physics textbooks. He was associated with the free school movement in the 1960s, and was a colleague of the educator Herbert Kohl, who described Rosenbaum's educational work in his books The Open Classroom and Math, Writing & Games in the Open Classroom. He designed the Xylopipes xylophone children's toy for Creative Playthings. Rosenbaum created "Light Boxes", kinetic sculptures using polarized light and layers of cellophane laminated between pairs of rotating glass disks, producing changing patterns and colors similar to, and on a smaller scale than, light shows projected at rock concerts in the 1960s. He was exhibited by the Landau Gallery in Beverly Hills, among others. He was a colleague of silk screen artist Arthur Okamura. He designed the original logo for Herbie Mann's Embryo Records. He died in Alameda, California, of complications from Parkinson's disease in 2003.

The 1993 Scottish Challenge Cup final, also known as the B&Q Cup final for sponsorship reasons, was an association football match between Falkirk and St Mirren on 12 December 1993 at Fir Park in Motherwell. It was the fourth final of the Scottish Challenge Cup since it was first organised in 1990 to celebrate the centenary of the Scottish Football League.

The match was Falkirk's first national cup final in 36 years since winning the Scottish Cup in 1957; whilst it was St Mirren's first in only six years since lifting the Scottish Cup in 1987. The tournament was contested by clubs below the Scottish Premier Division, with both finalists from the First Division.

The match was goalless after 45 minutes, but Falkirk took the lead two minutes into the second half with a goal from Neil Duffy and only one minute later were 2–0 up with a goal from Richard Cadette. The final goal of the game came from John Hughes, which was enough for Falkirk to win the match 3–0 and the tournament for the first time.

Route to the final

Falkirk 

Falkirk faced neighbours Alloa Athletic at home in the first round with the home team producing a 2–1 victory. The second round draw saw Cowdenbeath travel to Brockville Park, in another home game for Falkirk with the team winning 3–0 to progress to the quarter-final. The reward for reaching the quarter-final was a third home game of the tournament against rivals Dunfermline Athletic with The Bairns emerging 4–1 winners. The semi-final opposition was Livingston, and a fourth consecutive home game at Brockville with Falkirk winning 3–2 to book a place in the Scottish Challenge Cup final for the first time.

St Mirren 

St Mirren faced a trip to Clyde in the first round which saw the team emerge 1–0 winners. The second round was another game on the road against Renfrewshire rivals Morton with The Saints producing a 4–2 victory to progress to the quarter-finals. A third away game of the tournament saw St Mirren travel to Airdrieonians, winning 1–0. The reward for reaching the semi-final was another away game with the opponents in the form of Ayr United at Somerset Park. St Mirren won 2–1 to book a place in the final. St Mirren reached the Scottish Challenge Cup final for the first time.

Pre-match

Analysis 
Falkirk played all of their games preceding the final at their home of Brockville Park, in the process scoring twelve goals and conceding four. On the other hand, St Mirren played all four of their games on the road with no matches played at their home of Love Street. Despite playing all of their games away from home, St Mirren scored eight goals and conceded only three, whilst keeping two clean sheets compared with Falkirk's one. This was the first appearance for both Falkirk and St Mirren in the Scottish Challenge Cup final since its inauguration in 1990.

In rocketry, a SERN, which stands for single expansion ramp nozzle, is a type of physical linear expansion nozzle where the gas pressure transfers work only on one side.  Traditional nozzles are axially symmetric, and therefore surround the expanding gas.  Linear nozzles are not axially symmetric, but consist of a 2D configuration of two expansion ramps.  A SERN could also be seen as a single sided aerospike engine.

Many designs for space planes with scramjet engines make use of SERNs because of the weight reduction at large expansion ratios, or the additional lift at under-expansion.  The X-43, a test vehicle in NASA's Hyper-X programme, is a flying example.

One of the practical problems with the use of SERNs is the fact that they produce a pitching moment depending on the throttling of the engine, thereby requiring more control authority of the elevators, more complex control systems, etc.
