The 2020 Le Mans Cup, known as the 2020 Michelin Le Mans Cup under sponsorship, was the fifth season of the Le Mans Cup. It began on 18 July at the Circuit Paul Ricard and finished on 1 November at Algarve International Circuit. The series was open to Le Mans Prototypes in the LMP3 class, and grand tourer sports cars in the GT3 class. The 2020 calendar was released on 4 April 2020.

This season ran with a newly updated 2020 ACO LMP3 specification, including an uplift of ~35bhp in power and to 5.6 litres from 5.0 litres. An issue with fuel consumption came to light after Free Practice sessions; the spec Nissan VK56 / X-Trac drivetrain, homologated and supplied through Oreca, used more fuel than was predicted. To mitigate this in the first race an additional mandatory pit stop was added, along with adjustments to relevant mandatory stop times and driver stint rules.

Calendar
The 2020 calendar was released on 4 April 2020. All races supported the 2020 European Le Mans Series except the Le Mans round, which was part of the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend.

The Barcelona round was moved to Paul Ricard due to the COVID-19 situation in Barcelona.

WONC (89.1 FM) is a radio station  broadcasting an album-oriented rock format. Licensed to Naperville, Illinois, United States, the station serves the Chicago area.  The station is currently owned by North Central College.

History
The station has been in operation since July 1, 1968, and currently broadcasts from studios in a renovated house at 232 E. Chicago Ave. in Naperville.  Before 1997, WONC's studios were located on the fourth floor of the Old Main campus building at 30 N. Brainard St.  The broadcast tower is located at 1805 High Grove Lane on the western edge of Naperville.

On September 1, 1980, John V. Madormo succeeded Jon Yoder as the faculty advisor and general manager of WONC. Formerly a producer for Chicago's WGN radio, Madormo's experience led WONC to being recognized as one of the premier college radio stations in the country.  The station won 20 Marconi awards during his tenure; no other college station won more.

Over the years, WONC has been a participating station in the IBS (Intercollegiate Broadcasting System) awards and has won several awards. WONC was named the 2015 Abraham and Borst Best College Station in the Nation and the 2015 IBS Best College station (Under 10,000 enrollment).

WONC celebrated its 50th anniversary May 11, 2018, with a party at the radio station that culminated with dozens of alumni attending and local press coverage by the Daily Herald and NCTV17. The party also served as a send-off for Madormo, who went on to retire after the 2017-18 academic year, having spent 38 of WONC's 50 years as general manager. Madormo was succeeded by North Central/WONC alum Zachary DeWitz.

Format
The format has been album-oriented rock (commonly known within the radio business as AOR) since approximately 1987 and uses the slogan "Pure Rock FM89."  From the station's inception to the 1980s, it was a more typical college free-form station.  An adult contemporary format was aired for a time prior to the switch to the current format.

The station provides coverage of North Central College's football games, men's and women's basketball games, and select baseball and softball games.

Each fall, the station hosts the John Drury High School Radio Awards, honoring the legendary Chicago newscaster. High school radio stations from around the country are invited to the North Central College campus, and students, advisors, and stations are recognized in 18 categories, including Best DJ, Best Newscast, Best PSA, Broadcaster of the Year, and Best High School Radio Station.

Al Salam Private School & Nursery is a British Curriculum private school located in Dubai, UAE.
Its original site was established in 1985 as a nursery, located in the historic communities of Dubai, in Al Rigga, to Al Muteena and later Hor Al Anz, from which the school opened in 1988.
It moved to the current location in Al Nahda 2 in 1994. It is one of the highest achieving schools in Dubai.

Al Salam School began as a nursery in 1985 and three years later, Al Salam Private School was established.  The location of the school changed as it grew and larger sites were used to accommodate the growing numbers.  Al Salam operated in Hor Al Anz through to its current site in Al Nahda 2.

The school ranks as one of the best value for money schools in Dubai. This is due to its low fees yet exceptionally high outcomes.  As a consequence, it is in high demand with waiting lists common in most years.

Leadership of the School
The school was founded by Sue Johnston, who served as its Principal for 29 years. She was Dubai's longest serving headteacher, who has been a key influencer in the education sector in Dubai and described as ‘inspirational,’ by the KHDA.

The school was led by Kausor Amin-Ali, who began his teaching career having qualified from the University of Cambridge.  He succeeded Sue Johnston in August 2017 until January 2019. He held the title of Principal & Executive Headteacher.  He is the author of a chapter entitled 'Education in the UAE: An Overview' as part of the book 'Education in the Arab World' by Dr Serra Kirdar.
From February 2019, the Principal was Craig Dyche-Nichols. He was replaced by Wendy Banks in 2021.

Expansion of the school to a second site

From September 2019, Al Salam Private School became exclusively Primary for two years.  The Secondary school relocated to Al Twar 2, just  from the current site.  The new site is a purpose built and houses an additional new Primary school.  Both of these new schools will be collectively known as Al Salam Community School.
The project for pre-opening of the new schools was successfully led by the Founding Principal Kausor Amin-Ali.

Both Primary schools will be feeders into the new larger Secondary school.

Update
In 2021, Al Salam Private School re-opened its secondary school provision.

The Fair Tax Town (FTT) movement (also called the Powys tax rebellion ) is a movement established by several shop owners in Crickhowell, Powys, Wales.

Documentary
During the establishment of the movement, a documentary was made by the BBC along with it. This documentary, narrated by Heydon Prowse is called "The Town that went Offshore" or "The Town That Took on the Taxman" and was first shown in January 2016.

The movie follows the business owners as they decide to establish an untaxed Manx company which designs and owns a brand (Crickhowell Fair Tax), use the brand in their advertising and pay royalties for using this brand, as big companies do with their own brands. Their Manx company sets up a Dutch subsidiary which receives the royalties and sends them to the Isle of Man, since Britain would tax royalties sent directly to a tax haven, but charges no tax on royalty payments to the Netherlands, and the Netherlands charges no tax on royalties sent to tax havens. Thus their money accumulates tax-free in the Isle of Man, and the movie suggests ways to use it for expenses in Wales, such as borrowing it. The movie also discusses customer relationship managers which tax authorities assign to big businesses to ensure their tax arrangements are valid.

Spreading the movement
The movement's aim is to persuade governments to change their tax regulation so that small businesses get the same level of tax as multinationals and other large businesses. To help achieve this, FTT has started to share their expertise on how to make businesses engage in tax avoidance. Since then, many other towns have adopted the scheme.

Passing the baton
After spending two years developing and publicizing the project, the Crickhowell businesses decided not to proceed. Prowse, the documentarian, said he hoped another group of people would take the idea another step, "If you want to put your money through a scheme like that, you’ve got to expect that the taxman’s going to contact you and you’re going to have to defend yourself, possibly in court."

Hsingan (; or Xing'an) refers to a former province, which once occupied western Heilongjiang and part of northwest Jilin provinces of China. The name is related to that of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Another name used for this land was Barga, which is also the name used for the western part of the province, the Barga district.

Administration
The capital of Hsingan was the town of Hailar (or Hulun), on the China Eastern Railway line near the Russian border. Hsingan was divided into various sub-prefectures, similar in form to other Manchukuo provinces. The second city of importance was Manzhouli.

History 

Hsingan province was first created in 1932 as an administrative sub-division of the Japanese-controlled Empire of Manchukuo. From 1939 to 1943, the province was divided into four parts, labeled Hsingan North, Hsingan East, Hsingan South and Hsingan West. These four provinces were reunited into a Xing'an Consolidated Province (興安総省) in 1943. Hsingan at  encompassed nearly one third of the land area of Manchukuo.

The population of Hsingan, estimated at 965,000 in 1935, was predominantly ethnically Mongol, and Hsingan was therefore administered by a local Mongol prince (under supervision of a Japanese resident supervisor).

Hsingan was the site of a number of clashes in the Soviet-Japanese Border Wars, most notably the Nomonhan Incident where Japanese Kwantung Army and Manchukuo Imperial Army forces were defeated by the Soviet Red Army in 1939.

After the annexation of Manchukuo by the Republic of China after the end of World War II, the Kuomintang continued to recognize the area as Hsingan Province, with the capital in Hailar. However, under the administration of the People's Republic of China from 1949, the area was annexed to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and is now referred to as the Hulunbuir Prefecture-level city. The population is now estimated to be over 80% ethnic Han Chinese.

Economy
Under the Manchukuo period, Hsingan was primarily an agricultural area, with food grains, particularly wheat, soy and corn, as well as cattle, sheep, horse and other livestock. The primary economic asset of Hsingan was its extensive coal deposits, primarily at Chalai Nor hill, 25 kilometers from the frontier station of Manchouli, where 290,000 metric tonnes were extracted annually. Hsingan was also a trade zone between Manchukuo, the Soviet Union, and Soviet-dominated Mongolia.

His writings initially focused on administrative and military history. similarly, his  historical writing about Asia was  the first in France.  “French admiration for the Ottomans and their military superiority, as Ina claims, manifested in Baudier 's historical writings.

He contributed to French history by writing Histoire de la guerre de Flandre 1559–1609 (History of the war in Flanders 1559–1609, Paris, 1615); Histoire de l'administration du cardinal d'Amboise, grand ministre d'état en France (History of the administration of Cardinal D'Amboise, great minister of state in France, Paris, 1634), a defence of Georges d'Amboise; and Histoire de l'administration de l'abbé Suger (History of the administration of Abbot Suger, Paris, 1645). Taking an especial interest in the Turks he wrote Inventaire général de l'histoire des Turcs (General inventory of the history of the Turks, Paris, 1619); Histoire générale de la religion des Turcs avec la vie de leur prophète Mahomet (General history of the religion of the Turks with the life of their Prophet Muhammad, Paris, 1626); and Histoire générale du sérail et de la cour du grand Turc (General history of the harem and of the court of the Grand Turk, Paris, 1626; English translation by E. Grimeston, London, 1635).

Having heard the narrative of a Jesuit who had returned from China, Baudier wrote Histoire de la cour du roi de Chine (History of the royal court of China, Paris, 1626; English translation in vol. viii of the Collection of Voyages and Travels of Awnsham and John Churchill, London, 1707–1747). He also wrote Vie du cardinal Ximénès (Life of Cardinal Ximénès, Paris, 1635), which was again published with a notice of the author by E. Baudier (Paris, 1851), and a romance entitled Histoire de l'incomparable administration de Romieu, grand ministre d'état de Raymond Bérenger, comte de Provence (History of the incomparable administration Romieu, great minister of the condition of Raymond Bérenger, Count of Provence, Paris, 1635).

According to Jean-Claude,  Baudier  knew several languages, and  he “wrote not only about France, but also about Spain, England, Italy, China, Persia, and Turkey.”
