Brain Balance Achievement Centers are after-school learning centers that offers a program of brain training, exercise, simple physical exercises, skills training, and dietary advice that it says helps children with developmental and learning disabilities.

The Brain Balance program was developed by Robert Melillo, a New York-based chiropractor who later added what he calls "functional neurology" to his practice. He began developing the business and its learning centers in 2006, opting for a franchising model. The first center opened in 2007. By early 2018 there were 110 centers in the chain and the business had an annual revenue of $41 million.

As of 2018 there was no good evidence that the company's program helps children. In the scientific and medical community, Brain Balance has been criticized for the lack of scientific evidence for its marketing, as well as its claims about neuroplasticity and other aspects of brain development.  That assessment is consistent with a 2015 determination by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services that there was insufficient evidence of effectiveness for the company's claims. The results of a June 2018 year-long investigation by National Public Radio cast further doubt on the veracity of claims by the company.

Nils Edward Katajainen (31 May 1919 – 16 January 1997) was a Finnish fighter pilot and a Mannerheim Cross Knight. He held the military rank of sergeant. He flew 196 sorties and shot down 35 enemy aircraft.

Biography
Nils Katajainen was born to barber Oskar Katajainen and his wife, Jenny Katajainen, in 1919. He began his military career by entering the volunteer service of the air force in 1939. He was promoted to Corporal on 5 August 1940 following a reserve NCO course. During the Winter War he served in fighter squadrons 24 and 32 and was discharged on 1 March 1941.

However, after just a few months' time Finland began its pre-war mobilization, preparing for the Continuation War. Katajainen returned to Fighter Squadron 24, where he belonged to the third flight. During his wartime career, he won 17 victories flying Brewster Buffaloes and a further 18 victories flying Messerschmitt Bf 109s.

During a period of six months in 1942 Katajainen was transferred to LeLv 6 and began training on captured Soviet SB-2 bombers. He flew anti-submarine missions, until his influential friends managed to arrange for him to return to LeLv 24.

Katajainen was badly wounded in an air battle on 5 July 1944. He was discharged from the air force on 10 November 1944 following his hospitalization and subsequent convalescence period. He was appointed Knight of the Mannerheim Cross on 21 December 1944 (number 170). Katajainen was the only pilot from the reserve pool that received the Mannerheim Cross.

After the war, Katajainen worked as an entrepreneur and for the City of Helsinki.

In popular culture 
 Nikka Edvardine Katajainen in the anime Strike Witches has been analysed as being based on Katajainen. Specifically, "Nipa's [Nikka] penchant for damaging her units and her self-healing ability are both derived from Nils's reputation for crashing planes but escaping with only minor injuries."

NGC 214 is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Andromeda, located at a distance of  from the Milky Way. It was discovered on September 10, 1784 by William Herschel. The shape of this galaxy is given by its morphological classification of SABbc, which indicates a weak bar-like structure (SAB) at the core and moderate to loosely-wound spiral arms (bc).

On July 19, 2005, a magnitude 17.4 supernova was detected at a position  west and  north of the galactic nucleus. The object was not visible on plates taken July 2, so it likely erupted after that date. Designated SN 2005db, it was determined to be a type IIn supernova based on the spectrum. A second supernova event was spotted from an image taken August 30, 2006, at  west and  south of the nucleus. It reached magnitude 17.8 and was designated SN 2006ep. This was determined to be a type-Ib/c supernova.

The Chinese Club () is a private member's club in Central, Hong Kong. When it was first founded, its members were exclusively Chinese, many of whom served as compradors in Western mercantile firms.

History
The Chinese Club was established in 1897 by Tse Tsan-tai (謝纘泰 or 謝贊泰), an Australian-born social and political reformer, merchandiser and reporter, whose stated vow was to overthrow the Qing dynasty by force.  At the time of its founding, Chinese (or part Chinese) men were barred from joining the prestigious, whites-only Hong Kong Club, irrespective of their social or business standing in the community.

Tse, together with Cheung Tsoi, Luk King-fo and Leung Lan-fan, decided to found a parallel club for Chinese to meet and socialise, and to raise funds from wealthy local businessmen for the revolutionary cause. At the time, Tse knew many local business leaders who were sympathetic to the cause, such as Robert Ho Tung.

Ho Tung became the club's first chairman, the effect of which was to project a softer, less revolutionary image in the minds of the Hong Kong Police, thereby reducing the likelihood of a raid by authorities.

Originally located on Wyndham Street, the club moved to Queen's Road. From the 1920s until 1964, it was housed on the top floor of the Bank of Canton Building at 6 Des Voeux Road Central (opposite Prince's Building). The Club moved into its own premises in 1967.

Membership
Originally, the membership was open to "any Chinese man" (this included Eurasians). Membership is now open to "all persons of Chinese origin".

The Chinese Club Building
The Clubhouse building at 21–22 Connaught Road Central opened on 1 February 1967.

The Club created a building fund in 1927. Two adjacent three-storey buildings were purchased on 30 November 1940. One building was sold during the Japanese occupation to pay off outstanding debts.

In the 1960s, construction of a neighbouring building compromised the pilings underneath the Club's building, forcing the Government to declare it as condemned. The Club then built a new 17-storey Clubhouse and sold the basement and first three floors of the building to pay off the construction mortgages.

The Club currently owns 12 floors of the Chinese Club Building. The 8th to the 15th floors house the Club's facilities.
