Lansdowne College was a mixed private school, mainly specialising in sixth form courses. It was situated in Bayswater in the City of Westminster, England. Lansdowne was registered with the DfE and, since joining the ISA in July 2014, was inspected by ISI. Their last inspection was in 2014 and the report declared that "[Students'] learning skills and their attitudes to work are excellent throughout the college. They are single-minded and purposeful and focus clearly on the specific academic goals they have set themselves. Students from many cultural backgrounds support each other strongly, and an atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect pervades the college."

It had been located in the centre of London opposite Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens after having moved from the original premises in a majestic building on the south side of the Gardens at 9 Palace Gate near the top of Gloucester Road and well known for offering a highly successful LLB law London University External, now International program course.

Lansdowne provided one and two-year A level and GCSE courses for students aged 14 to 19 and a one-year NCUK International Foundation Year for students aged 17 to 19. The primary aim of the college's students was to progress to Higher Education (HE) with destinations including Imperial College, UCL, and the universities of Bristol, Birmingham, Warwick, Leeds, Manchester and Queen Mary . The school most recently had 230 students enrolled with two thirds being British students and the remaining one third from more than twenty different countries.  The school offered nearly 30 A-Level subjects and twelve  GCSE subjects. The last college principal was Mark Love.

Lansdowne College closed in 2017.

La'b Madjnuni, also known as Crazy Game,  is a mancala game played in Damascus (Syria) in the late 19th century.

Rules
The La'b Madjnuni board has seven pits, called bute, "houses," in front of each player.
At the beginning of the game, at least 2 pieces are placed in each pit. 
The first player takes all the pieces from the hole at the right of his row and drops them counterclockwise, one at a time.
If the last piece ends in an occupied pit, then all the pieces in that pit including the last one are distributed as before.
These multiple turns continue until the distribution process ends, either the last piece drops into an empty hole, or  it drops into a hole containing one or three pieces.
If the last piece ends up in a pit which, after sowing, contains exactly two or four pieces, all pieces in this pit are captured with those in the hole opposite.  Also, if there is a continuous line of pits with either 2 or 4 pieces before the one where the capture has occurred, all the pieces in those and their opposite pits are captured as well.
Culin wrote that the "game ends when all the pits are empty", but that's not possible. The exact ending rules is, therefore, unknown. The player who captured most pieces wins the game.

La'b roseya is a variant of this game that each hole has seven pieces (cowries) at game setup, and played by children in Syria.

The Chocolate Habanero pepper is a cultivar of the habanero chili, which has been selectively bred to produce spicier, heavier, and larger fruit, ultimately more potent than its derivative.

Description 
Black habanero is an alternative name often used to describe the dark brown variety of chocolate habanero chilis (although they are slightly different, being slightly smaller and slightly more sphere-shaped). Some seeds have been found which are thought to be over 7,000 years old.  The black habanero has an exotic and unusual taste, and is hotter than a regular habanero with a rating between 425,000 and 577,000 Scoville units. Small slivers used in cooking can have a dramatic effect on the overall dish. The chocolate habaneros take considerably longer to grow than other habanero chili varieties. In a dried form, they can be preserved for long periods of time, and can be reconstituted in water then added to sauce mixes. Previously known as habanero negro, or by their Nahuatl name, their name was translated into English by spice traders in the 19th century as "black habanero". The word "chocolate" was derived from the Nahuatl word, xocolātl , and was used in the description, as well (as "chocolate habanero"), but it proved to be unpronounceable to the British traders, so it was simply named "black habanero".

Pungency 
The Chocolate Habanero can be double the heat of an orange habanero. They taste somewhat smokier than normal habaneros.

Colombi Hotel is a luxury hotel in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. The hotel is located in the city center of Freiburg, on the Rotteckring, opposite to the Colombipark and its Colombischlössle, from which the hotel got its name.

Since 1995, Colombi Hotel is a member of the alliance "The Leading Hotels of the World". The adjoining gourmet restaurant Zirbelstube has been awarded a Michelin star every year since 1983.

In 2011, Heinz Hoenig was in TV show "Make me happy" in some scenes in the Colombi Hotel. In the George-Roy Hill film "The Dragonfly" (1984), the Colombi Hotel was one of the filming locations.

History

The hotel was opened in June 1957. On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the University of Freiburg, prominent guests from politics and business were welcomed in the same year. Saudi Arabian King Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and his entourage spent several days at the Colombi Hotel in 1959.

The Minkowski Portal Refinement collision detection algorithm is a technique for determining whether two convex shapes overlap.

The algorithm was created by Gary Snethen in 2006 and was first published in Game Programming Gems 7.  The algorithm was used in Tomb Raider: Underworld and other games created by Crystal Dynamics and its sister studios within Eidos Interactive.

MPR, like its cousin GJK, relies on shapes that are defined using support mappings.  This allows the algorithm to support a limitless variety of shapes that are problematic for other algorithms.  Support mappings require only a single mathematical function to represent a point, line segment, disc, cylinder, cone, ellipsoid, football, bullet, frustum or most any other common convex shape.  Once a set of basic primitives have been created, they can easily be combined with one another using operations such as sweep, shrink-wrap and affine transformation.

Unlike GJK, MPR does not provide the shortest distance between separated shapes.  However, according to its author, MPR is simpler, more numerically robust and handles translational sweeping with very little modification.  This makes it well-suited for games and other real-time applications.

Episodes

Critical reception
In a review in The Washington Post, Emily Yahr said that the half-scripted, half-documentary hybrid format doesn't work and the show is delivering a mixed tone. Robert Owen of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said the viewers will be disappointed by the series. A review in Variety called the show more like a water-cooler gossip than actual true-crime material. Common Sense Media said the movie has a tongue-in-cheeck tone at times.

The Mercer Union Meetinghouse is a historic church in Mercer, Maine, USA. Built in 1829 for several different denominations to share, this church is a relatively early and rare example of transitional Federal-Gothic styling in the state, with its tower set partially over the entrance vestibule, another uncommon feature. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

Description and history
The church is set on the north side of Main Street, a short way west of its junction with US 2. It is a rectangular wood-frame structure with a projecting vestibule area at the front (south-facing facade). Its gable roof is pedimented up to the vestibule, which itself has only partial returns, owing to a large Gothic-arched window at its center. A pair of identical entrances flank this window in the projecting section. The square tower rises partially over the vestibule and partially over the main block, its first stage with a plain clapboarded finish, and the second, belfry stage flushboarded with louvered openings. Corner spires and a balustrade cap the tower. The doorways lead into separate small vestibules, from which doorways lead into the main hall. The pews are a transitional style between older box pews and bench pews, set in groups, with the ends painted in an unusual false wood-grain style. The walls are wainscoted below and finished in pressed tin above, which is continued into the ceiling, which is finished with tin paneling.

The meetinghouse was built in 1829 to house the activities of several different congregations. The Methodists had organized in the town in the early 19th century, and the Congregationalists in 1822, but neither had a permanent sanctuary until this one was built. Funding was also raised by the sale of pews to Universalists, who also made use of the building. By 1857, the building was apparently being used exclusively by Congregationalists, whose congregation folded in the early 20th century.  The building was thereafter used by the Methodists again, but only on a seasonal basis. The building is now owned and maintained by the Mercer Meetinghouse Association, a local non-profit organization.
