Stefan Lano (born 1952) is a composer and music director, currently serving as the music and artistic director of the National Symphony Orchestra of Uruguay. He previously served an extensive career with the Vienna State Opera.

Early life and education 
Lano was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1952 and is of Albanian descent. He attended Worcester Academy, graduating in 1970.  He studied Biology and Composition at Oberlin College and Oberlin Conservatory of Music before attending Harvard University on a full fellowship, where he gained a PhD in Musical Composition.

The 1976 premier of his Sinfonie N° 1 afforded him his initial experience in the symphonic genre, both as composer and conductor at the Newport Music Festival.

During his time in Berlin, he continued piano studies as well as conducting under Professor Hans Martin Rabenstein.  It was during this period that he composed his Sinfonie N° 2 (Grodek) before assuming a position as pianist at the opera house in Graz, Austria.

Symphony career
In 1982, he worked under Lorin Maazel as répétiteur at the Vienna State Opera, a position which he held until his appointment by Maazel as Associate Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony from 1988 to 1991. 

He returned to Europe as music director at the Aachen Opera where he later served as Music Director and director of studies. His international engagements began during these years with concert and opera performance at major musical centers in Europe, South America and Japan. 

For the first South American performances of the three-act version of Alban Berg's Lulu, Lano worked to inaugurate the 1993 season at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This led to his serving as its Music Director from 2005 to 2008.

Conducting debut 
Lano made his conducting debut at the Met in 1997 conducting Igor Stravinsky's The Rakes Progress. This led to engagements at the San Francisco Opera, again for Lulu in 1998 and Douglas Moore's The Ballad of Baby Doe in 2000.

In 2002, he conducted a concert-performance with the Montréal Symphony of Alban Berg's Wozzeck which was cited as "Best Concert of the Season" by the Conseil québécois de la musique. In 2003, he and the orchestra again received this acclaim for their performance of Béla Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle. 

In recent years, his career has been centered primarily in Europe and South America with regular engagements at the Semper Oper Dresden, Hamburg State Opera and Lithuanian National Philharmonic, where he conducted the first performance of his Sinfonie N° 3 in 2004. He has also been a regular at the National Opera of Slovakia in Bratislava and the Teatro Colón.

The Wonder Effect is a collection of science fiction stories by American writers Frederik Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth, published by Ballantine Books in 1962.

The first novelette, "Critical Mass", is a science fiction piece by Pohl and Kornbluth first published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine in February 1962, almost four years after Kornbluth's death.  According to a foreword by Pohl in the later collection Critical Mass, the story was assembled from notes Kornbluth made for three story ideas, plus one of Pohl's own from 1954. After Kornbluth's death, his widow turned over his story notes and drafts to Pohl, who completed a dozen or so stories based on this material, most of which were eventually collected in this volume and in the later Critical Mass.

The 85th Assembly District of Wisconsin is one of 99 districts in the Wisconsin State Assembly.  Located in north-central Wisconsin, the district comprises much of eastern Marathon County, including the cities of Wausau and Schofield, and the villages of Elderon, Hatley, and Rothschild.  The district is represented by Republican Patrick Snyder, since January 2017.

The 85th Assembly District is located within Wisconsin's 29th Senate district, along with the 86th and 87th Assembly districts.

History
The district was created in the 1972 redistricting act (1971 Wisc. Act 304) which first established the numbered district system, replacing the previous system which allocated districts to specific counties.  The 85th district was drawn almost exactly in line with the previous Marathon County 2nd district (the cities of Wausau and Schofield, and north-central Marathon County.  The last representative of the Marathon County 2nd district, Tony Earl, went on to win the 1972 election as the first representative of the 85th Assembly district.  The district has remained in the same vicinity, centered on Wausau and Schofield, in the various redistricting schemes since 1972, with the exception of the 1982 court-ordered plan which temporarily moved the district to eastern Waupaca County.  The 2011 redistricting act was the most significant change to the boundaries of the district since 1982, maintaining Wausau and Schofield in the district, but shifting away from the north-central towns of Marathon County to encompass more of the rural eastern half of the county.

Notable former representatives of the 85th district include Tony Earl, who was later elected the 41st Governor of Wisconsin, and Gregory Huber, who was later appointed as a Wisconsin circuit court judge by Governor Jim Doyle and is now the current chief judge for the 9th judicial administrative district of Wisconsin.

Lilioceris cheni, the air potato leaf beetle, is a species of beetle in the genus Lilioceris that feeds on air potato plants. Air potatoes and the beetles are both native to Asia but have been introduced elsewhere. The air potato plants are an invasive species found throughout Florida, and the beetles were introduced in 2012 by biologists in Florida to help control the spread of the air potato.

The UEFA play-offs of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification competition involve the four runners-up with the best records among all seven groups in the qualifying group stage.

Ranking of second-placed teams
To determine the four best second-placed teams from the qualifying group stage which advance to the play-offs, only the results of the second-placed teams against the first, third and fourth-placed teams in their group are taken into account, while results against the fifth-placed team are not included. As a result, six matches played by each second-placed team will count for the purposes of determining the ranking.

Draw

The draw for the play-offs was held on 7 September 2018, 14:00 CEST (UTC+2), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The four teams were drawn into two knockout rounds (semi-finals and final) of home-and-away two-legged format.

For the semi-finals, two teams were seeded and two teams were unseeded, based on their latest coefficient ranking after the completion of the qualifying group stage, calculated based on the following:
2015 FIFA Women's World Cup final tournament and qualifying competition (20%)
UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying competition (40%)
2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying competition (preliminary round and group stage) (40%)

For each semi-final, a seeded team was drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs decided by draw. A draw was also held for the final between the two winners of the semi-finals to decide the order of legs.

Bracket

The play-off final winner qualifies for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Juniperus macrocarpa (large-fruited juniper, syn. J. oxycedrus subsp. macrocarpa (Sibth. & Sm.) Ball) is a species of juniper, native across the northern Mediterranean region from southwestern Spain east to western Turkey and Cyprus, growing on coastal sand dunes from sea level up to  in altitude.

It is a spreading shrub  tall, rarely a small tree up to  tall. The leaves are broad lanceolate, produced in whorls of three, green,  long and 2–3 mm broad, with a double white stomatal band split by a green midrib on the inner surface. It is dioecious, with separate male and female plants. The seed cones are berry-like, green ripening in 18 months to orange-red with a variable pink waxy coating; they are spherical, 12–18 mm diameter, and have six fused scales in two whorls, three of the scales with a single seed. The seeds are dispersed when birds eat the cones, digesting the fleshy scales and passing the hard seeds in their droppings. The pollen cones are yellow, 2–3 mm long, and fall soon after shedding their pollen in late winter.

Despite its distinct morphology with large cones and broad leaves more like those of Juniperus drupacea, it has often been treated as a subspecies of Juniperus oxycedrus, though recent genetic studies have shown its DNA is distinct from that of J. oxycedrus.
