Critical reception

Block Music garnered positive reviews from music critics praising Shawnna's improvement as a rapper in terms of lyrical content and tonal delivery. Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave high praise to Shawnna's ability to portray different emotions and deliver topics with complex writing over energetic production, saying that, "With a surprising level of depth and a more complementary set of productions, Block Music makes Worth tha Weight – a decent album in its own right – seem like a clumsy warm-up." Alvin Blanco of XXL also commended Shawnna for side-stepping her usual sex-filled braggadocio to reveal more introspective material delivered in both hard-hitting and soft-spoken styles, concluding that "Offering up more of herself this go-round, Shawnna shows considerable growth. Maybe now she can finally get some… props."

The ch Foundation for Federal Cooperation is a Swiss inter-cantonal organization under private law. It is sponsored by all 26 cantons and has its head office in Solothurn. The Foundation's Board of Trustees is composed of 26 members of the individual cantonal governments. Founded in 1967, the Foundation is committed to promoting the principle of federalism. It supports cooperation between the cantons and with the Confederation. As part of its work, it runs the Haus der Kantone (House of Cantons) in Berne, manages the secretariat of the Conference of Cantonal Governments (CCG), and organizes training courses for members of the cantonal governments. 

The ch Foundation also encourages links between the different linguistic communities in Switzerland, and works to protect the country's diverse languages and cultures. With the ch Series project, it has promoted the translation of contemporary Swiss literature since 1974, and has been involved in exchange programmes both within Switzerland and internationally since 1976. 

The ch Foundation now offers a broad range of exchange programmes in Switzerland, in Europe and internationally in general and vocational education and training, and in extracurricular youth work. The Swiss exchange programmes include Pestalozzi (primary and lower secondary schools), Rousseau (upper secondary schools) and Piaget (vocational training). The European programmes are Comenius (primary to upper secondary schools), Erasmus (university-level institutions), Leonardo da Vinci (professional/vocational training), Grundtvig (adult education) and Youth in Action (extracurricular youth work). 

GO is the Swiss Competence Centre for Exchange and Mobility. It is run by the ch Foundation. It advises and supports programme participants before, during and after their projects. In addition, it provides them with contacts, and may even offer help with funding, depending on the programme concerned. These services are based on two mandates from the Swiss Confederation: that of 2010 from the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation to implement the European Lifelong Learning (LLP) and Youth in Action programmes, as well as that of the Federal Office of Culture for domestic exchange programmes (since 2011).

Benedikt Würth, member of the cantonal government of St. Gallen, became Chairman of the ch Foundation in 2013. Sandra Maissen is the Foundation's Managing Director.

Tetrandrine, a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, is a calcium channel blocker. It is isolated from the plant Stephania tetrandra, and other Chinese and Japanese herbs.

Pharamacology 
It has anti-inflammatory, immunologic and antiallergenic effects. It inhibits the degranulation of mast cells. It has a quinidine-like anti-arrhythmic effect.  It has vasodilatory properties and can therefore reduce blood pressure. Tetrandrine may have potential use for the treatment of liver disease and liver cancer. Tetrandrine has potential therapeutic value to prevent excess scarring/fibrosis in conjunctiva following trabeculectomy or in patients with severe conjunctival inflammation. Tetrandrine has anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrogenic actions, which make tetrandrine and related compounds potentially useful in the treatment of lung silicosis, liver cirrhosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Tetrandrine has also been shown to inhibit entry of Ebola virus into host cells in vitro and showed therapeutic efficacy against Ebola in preliminary studies on mice. Tetrandrine has also been studied and patented as a possible treatment for tinnitus.

Biosynthesis
Tetrandrine is biosynthesized from a free radical coupled dimerization of S-N-methylcoclaurine:

Synonyms
Synonyms include fanchinine, hanfangchin A, NSC 77037, (S,S)-(+)-tetrandrine, sinomenine A, TTD, tetrandrin, d-tetrandrine, and GW-201.

Lemuel Dole Nelme (born c1718 died 1786) was an English craftsman, now remembered for wide-reaching theories on language.

Life

The son of a Leominster clothworker, he was apprenticed to Thomas Clarke, citizen and fishmonger 6 April 1732 and made free of the City of London in 1743. He was a maker of instruments and dealer in ships' merchandise of the eighteenth century.  His son Lemuel Jones Nelme was baptized at King's Weighouse Chapel 19 August 1749. Nelme was in business in Exchange Alley in London around 1750.  He held a Government post as Clerk in 1764, and participated in the Royal Society of Arts at the end of the 1760s. He was buried at Stepney 19 March 1786. His wife Sarah survived him. His will was proved in the Prerogative court of Canterbury on 19 Mar 1786. He mentions his grandfather John Dole of Rangeworthy, Gloucestershire.  The lord of the Rangeworthy and Alderley manors was Matthew Hale, Chief Justice of King's Bench.  Matthew Hale was an only child.

Language and symbols

Nelme was the author of An essay towards an investigation of the origin and elements of language (1772), a speculative book on the origin of languages, and alphabet symbolism. Nelme was interested in Anglo-Saxon as proto-language, and compiled (or suggested the compilation of) an Anglo-Saxon dictionary. He is said to have deferred later to the theory of Rowland Jones on Celtic as proto-language. Johanna Drucker attributes to Clement of Alexandria's Stromateis some of his symbolic theory, outlines his version of Biblical history and the 'ol' ("all") key to symbols, and reproduces some of his illustrations.

Benoît Cauet (born 2 May 1969) is a French professional football manager and former player, who played as a midfielder.

Playing career 
Cauet was born in Châtellerault. He won the Ligue 1 in 1989 and 1990 with Marseille and in 1995 with Nantes. He also won the Coupe de France in 1989 with Marseille and the UEFA Cup in 1998 with Inter Milan, as well as the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group in 2005 with CSKA Sofia. He appeared in the 1998 UEFA Cup Final as a substitute. In spite of his qualities as a player, he was never selected for the French national team at international level.

Style of play 
Cauet was a strong, dynamic, tenacious, and hard-working two-way midfielder, with a solid technique, who was known for his combative playing style and movement off the ball, as well as his ability to link-up with other midfielders and start attacking plays. Usually a defensive or central midfielder, he was regarded for his tactical intelligence and qualities as a ball-winner, although he was also capable of playing on the left flank, as well as in a more offensive midfield role.

Coaching career

Inter Milan 
Cauet worked as a coach in Inter Milan's youth system from 2011 to 2016. He would also become a scout there from 2016 to 2018.

Concarneau 
From 2019 to 2020, Cauet worked as manager of Concarneau.

Châteauroux 
Cauet was briefly Châteauroux manager from 1 January to 9 March 2021. With the club facing relegation, he replaced Nicolas Usaï in the role, but was sacked following the purchase of La Berichonne by Saudi prince Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and his United World Group.

Zacharie Noterman or Zacharias Notermann (1820 in Ghent – 1890 in Paris) was a Belgian painter and printmaker who specialized in scenes with monkeys engaging in human activities (the so-called singeries), as well as in  paintings of dogs.  He also produced some scenes of traveling circuses.

Life
Zacharie Noterman was born in Ghent as the son of a decorative painter. He was initially trained by his older brother Emmanuel Noterman, a genre and animal painter active in Antwerp.<ref name=aop>[http://www.artoftheprint.com/artistpages/noterman_zacharias_the_litigants.htm Zacharias Noterman, Les Plaideurs ('The Litigants')] at Art of the Print</ref> Noterman continued his art studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp.

Zacharie Noterman lived with his brother in Antwerp.  Later he moved to Paris where he showed his works at the salon.  His final participations in the Paris salon date from the years 1879 and 1880.

Work
Noterman painted mainly scenes with animals including portraits of dogs as well as scenes involving cats and dogs. Noterman was particularly interested in the subject of singeries'', which are humoristic paintings and etchings of monkeys engaging in human activities. The monkeys in the scenes are often dressed in costumes which adds comedy to their 'aping' of a specific human action (often a vice such as smoking or gambling) or occupation such as a dentist, lawyer, painter, art critic, etc.  Noterman's work shows a growing interest in realism in painting in Belgium.

Noterman is the author of several etchings, which deal with a similar subject matter as his paintings.  In particular, his singeries were very popular and between 1863 and 1866 he was commissioned by the publisher Cadart in Paris to make three original etchings on the subject.

Knode was included in the year-end top 10 rankings issued by the United States Lawn Tennis Association in 1943, 1944, 1946, 1947, 1949, 1951, and 1956 through 1959. She was the third-ranked United States player in 1957 and 1959. 

Her other career singles highlights include winning the Alexandria International Championships in Alexandria, Egypt in 1958.

In October 2008, Knode was still active in international and national senior events. She won the 80-and-over Super-Seniors World Individual Championships in Antalya, Turkey in 2005.

The Sobreiro Monumental (Monumental Cork Oak), also known as The Whistler Tree, is a 236 year old cork oak from Águas de Moura, Palmela, Portugal. It was voted European Tree of the Year in 2018, it has been classified as "Tree of Public Interest" since 1988 and is registered in the Guinness Book of Records as "the largest cork oak in the world".

It is around  tall with a circumference at breast height of .

It was planted in 1783–1784, at that time the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves reigned by Queen Maria I and, since 1820, it has been harvested over 20 times. 1991 was a particularly prolific year, as it yielded over  of cork, producing more than 100.000 cork stoppers, more than what an average cork tree would produce in its lifetime.

The name 'Whistler Tree' comes from the whistling sound of the birds that land on its branches.

The tree was almost taken down with other 411 cork oaks in 2000, as an illegal urban expansion took place. By 2001 the law was reformed to better protect the oaks.

Earle H. Clapp (October 15, 1877 – July 2, 1970) was an American forester who served as acting Chief of the United States Forest Service (USFS) of the Department of Agriculture, from December 21, 1939, to January 8, 1943, when Lyle F. Watts was appointed chief.

Early life and education
Earle Hart Clapp was born in North Rush, New York, on October 15, 1877. He attended Cornell University for two years, graduating from the University of Michigan in 1905 with an A.B. degree in Forestry.

Career
Clapp began working for the Forest Service in 1905, serving in various capacities, such as timber sales in Wyoming and Montana. He also served as a forest inspector in the Washington DC office. In 1915, Chief Henry S. Graves created the Division of Research and placed Clapp in charge as Assistant Chief. For the next 20 years Clapp guided the research effort and established most of the agency's research facilities.

In 1935 Clapp left the research program to become Associate Chief. When Ferdinand A. Silcox died in office on December 20, 1939, he was appointed Acting Chief.

Clapp was never officially chief of the agency, as President Roosevelt did not want to approve the appointment. Roosevelt supported reorganizing and transferring the Forest Service to a new Department of Natural Resources. Clapp served in this capacity until Lyle Watts was appointed Chief in 1943.

Clapp died in Washington DC on July 2, 1970.

The Aston Hippodrome (), also known as The Hipp, was a popular theatre in the Aston area of Birmingham, England.

It was opened to the public on 7 December 1908 after the completion of construction at a cost of £10,000. It was designed by James and Lister Lea who had also designed the Bartons Arms public house just a few yards away on the other side of the street.

The theatre was seriously damaged in 1938 by a fire, which resulted in a £38,000 refurbishment.

On 4 June 1960, the theatre building ceased performances with the final performance of a revue, A to Z of Striptease. The building was renovated into a bingo hall and remained so until its demolition in September 1980. The Drum, an arts centre, is located on the theatre's site.

Performances were held twice daily and among these performances were famous acts such as Laurel and Hardy, George Formby, Gracie Fields, Larry Grayson, Morecambe and Wise and Judy Garland who performed there in 1951.

The opening chapter of Ron Dawson's novel, The Last Viking, vividly describes one of the 'strip tease shows' which dominated the Hipp's offerings during the mid to late 1950s. The show was called 'Heatwave' and the scene captures the sad atmosphere of the 'artistic tableaux' which characterised these shows.
