The Charm of the Highway Strip is the third studio album by American indie pop band The Magnetic Fields, released in 1994. It was the fourth Magnetic Fields album to be recorded, but was released five months prior to their intended third album Holiday, which was delayed for more than a year due to label issues. The Charm of the Highway Strip was also the band's debut release on Merge Records.

Content 

Its title, lyrics and musical styling are a nod to country music, though the songs of Stephin Merritt remain rooted in classic pop and synthesizers. Virtually every song deals with roads and travel, and several songs' lyrics implicitly reference vampires.

The title of the album comes from a quote by J. B. Jackson, 1959: "Let us hope that the merits and charm of the highway strip are not so obscure but that they will be accepted by a wider public."

This is the group's first full album in which songwriter Merritt also takes lead vocals. He designed the record's cover art, and has stated it is the album of his he is most satisfied with thus far in his career.

Legacy 

Arcade Fire covered "Born on a Train" during a live performance on the KCRW program Morning Becomes Eclectic. Lush covered "I Have the Moon" as a B-side on their 1996 single "500 (Shake Baby Shake)". The song was also included on the B-sides collection Topolino and on the Chorus box set.

The song "Dust Bowl" was used during an episode of the television series version of This American Life ("Pandora's Box").

Indie rock band Country Westerns included a cover of "Two Characters in Search of a Country Song" as the final track on their self-titled debut album.

Mga Anak-Bukid (literally "Children of the Farmlands", the title can be translated simply as "The Farmlanders") is a 1911 Tagalog-language novel written by Filipino novelist Rosauro C. Almario. Published by the Limbagang Cultura Filipina in Manila, Philippines, the novel narrates how the Filipinos who became the so-called pensionados undermined the traditional values and mores in the Philippines, including the people who acted as supporters and upholders of those conventional customs and norms.

Description
Mga Anak-Bukid is about the life of an ordinary farming couple, namely Tonyo and Juli.  They were supposed to get married, but on the day before the wedding ceremony, Juli was raped by the pensionado (literally "pensioner", someone receiving a salary or pension) named George, a Filipino representing the government of the United States.  Through his job as a journalist, George criticized and attacked the traditional values and mores of the Filipinos in the Philippines.  Through his newspaper columns, George dismissed the long-established rituals and practices in the Philippines as laughable, old-fashioned, and as things that should remain only in the past.  In the meantime, Tonyo was still willing to marry Juli despite of the circumstances.  However, Juli was no longer enthusiastic in accepting Tonyo as her husband because her honor as a woman had been defiled.  Honor and virginity is important in traditional Filipino culture.  Tonyo avenged himself and Juli by tricking George.  Unaware of the trap set by Tony and Juli, George agreed to meet with Juli.  When George went to the appointed place, he was slain by Tonyo.  Then Tonyo and Juli ran away into the mountains, both in agreement that there was no righteousness and hope for them if they stay in the lowlands.  The book is made up of 78 pages.

The FIDE Albums are publications of the world chess governing body, FIDE, via the Permanent Commission of the FIDE for Chess Compositions (PCCC), containing the best chess problems and studies of a certain period (usually three years in length).

Currently, problems submitted for publication in the album are reviewed by a panel of three judges. Each judge may give from 0 to 4 points for a problem; if the judge's combined scores is 8 or greater, the problem is included in the Album. Sometimes the necessary number of points is lowered to 7.5.

The titles Grandmaster, International Master and FIDE Master of Chess Composition are awarded on the basis of problems published in FIDE Albums: each problem included in an album is worth 1 point, and each study is worth 1.67 points, these scores divided by the number of composers in the case of joint compositions. For a problemist to be awarded the FIDE Master title, 12 points must be accumulated; for the International Master title 25 points are required; and for the Grandmaster title 70 points are needed (in each case, these points need not be gained in a single album; usually the points are accumulated over a number of albums).

The editor of the first FIDE Albums was Croatian chess player and the first Croatian grandmaster of problem chess (since 1975) Nenad Petrović.

The Swahili sparrow (Passer suahelicus) is a passerine bird of the sparrow family Passeridae. It lives in the savanna of southern Kenya and Tanzania. Until recently, it was usually treated as a subspecies of the northern grey-headed sparrow (Passer griseus), with which it hybridizes in southern Tanzania and possibly elsewhere. It has a more rounded head profile however, a smaller eye and the grey head plumage extends unto the mantle.

In addition to the subtle physical characteristics, the Swahili sparrow also differs from the northern grey-headed sparrow in terms of habitat preference, nest construction and post-breeding behaviour. They build grass nests in Acacia trees in dry regions, and generally avoid moister coastal lowlands or uplands. Following the breeding season they form nomadic flocks, and the bill colour will change from black to horn-coloured. They may nest in the proximity of northern grey-headed sparrow, but not on buildings, and may be found beside individuals of the latter species as they disperse onto farmland.

Ante Majstorović (born 6 November 1993) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as defender for Croatian Football League club Istra 1961.

Club career
Born in Zagreb to Herzegovinian Croat parents and raised in Drinovci, Majstorović started his career at the nearby NK Vinjani before moving to the nearby second-tier side NK Imotski's academy. He made his debut in the Druga HNL at age 17, establishing himself as a starter in the club's defense in the spring part of the season. He was immediately signed the following summer by RNK Split but loaned back to Imotski, where remained for the two following seasons, which saw the club relegated to Treća HNL and their immediate return to Croatia's second tier. The 2014/15 season saw the young centre-back join RNK Split's first-team squad, as the team's fourth choice on his position, behind Nino Galović, Tomislav Barbarić and Branko Vrgoč.

He made his Prva HNL debut on 7 November 2014, a day after his 21st birthday, in the 1–0 away loss to NK Slaven Belupo. Majstorović established himself, however, as the first team regular in the autumn part of the 2015/16 season, missing only a single game in the first 11 rounds, due to three yellow cards.

On 11 June 2019, Majstorović signed for Osijek.

On 2 March 2021, Majstorović signed for Shanghai Port for a 3.3 million EUR fee. Two serious injuries however prevented him from playing for the club and he terminated his contract in January 2022.

GR-89696 is a drug which acts as a highly selective κ-opioid agonist. It has been studied in various animal species, and has been described as selective for the κ2 subtype. Recent studies have suggested that GR-89696 and related κ2-selective agonists may be useful for preventing the itching which is a common side effect of conventional opioid analgesic drugs, without the additional side effects of non-selective kappa agonists. The structure bound to the κ-opioid receptor has been reported.
