"The Winter Market" is a science fiction short story written by William Gibson and published as part of his Burning Chrome short story collection. The story was commissioned in 1985 by Vancouver Magazine, who stipulated that Gibson – who at the time was "unquestionably the leading Vancouver author on the international literary scene" – set it in the city (thereby making it unique among the author's works until 2007, when he set the final third of Spook Country in and around the Port of Vancouver).

The market of the title was modelled on that of Granville Island, though in a state of bohemian decay. As the author commented in a 2007 blog post: "Vancouver's Granville Island, centered around Granville Island Market (produce and food fair) is a very successful (and pleasant) retrofit of an under-bridge urban island that previously was heavily industrial. When the story was written, the retrofit was recent, and I dirtied it up for requisite punky near-future effect."

Plot
The story primarily concerns human relationships and their tenuous and problematic qualities by deploying the concept of technological immortality, in which one's consciousness is separated from the body and "uploaded" into a supercomputer, where it continues to think and function on its own. Characters in the story are marked by a distinct failure to connect, while they express typical genre concerns regarding this type of theoretical mind transfer; whether or not the online consciousness really is the same individual, and whether or not it was moral to allow this to happen. In this particular tale, Lise's original body is defective and failing, partially due to a congenital disease, and partially due to drug abuse. Hence, the act of leaving behind the original physical form is potentially one of escape into an untainted existence. However, the story undercuts this simplistic reading by convincingly evoking Lise's humanity and her longing for a "normal" relationship to her body.

Analysis

According to the analysis of critic Pramod Nayar, the story "depicts the body as a vehicle for experiencing dreams edited into Hollywood thrillers".

Critic David Seed saw the character of Rubin as a "thinly disguised" incarnation of performance artist Mark Pauline of Survival Research Laboratories.

Reception
The story was critically well-received, garnering nominations for the Hugo Award for Best Novelette, the Nebula Award for Best Novelette, the "short-form, English" Prix Aurora award, and the British Science Fiction Association award for best short story. It also finished highly in several science fiction magazines' annual readers polls in 1987, coming fourth in the Locus novelette category, third in the Interzone fiction category, and joint second in the Science Fiction Chronicle novelette category.

The President of the Illinois Senate is the presiding officer of the Illinois Senate, the upper house of the Illinois General Assembly. The post dates from the General Assembly's 32nd session, in 1881.

From 1881 to 1973, the lieutenant governor was constitutionally President of the Senate. The highest elected post in the chamber, until then, was known as president pro tempore, and presided over the body in the absence of the lieutenant governor. Since then, the Illinois Senate has elected its president from its membership. The president is sixth (behind the lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, comptroller, and treasurer, respectively) in the line of succession to the office of Governor of Illinois.

The colors indicate the political party affiliation of each presiding officer.

The Ridin' Kid from Powder River is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by Edward Sedgwick and starring Hoot Gibson. It was based on a novel by Henry Herbert Knibbs and produced and distributed by Universal Pictures.

Plot
As described in a film magazine, Bud Watkins (House), a lad of ten years who does not know who his parents are, has become the abused, half-starved property of an itinerant horse trader whose territory is the cattle country of Arizona — as a trader — and of Nevada as a horse thief. It is the period when farmers are contesting against the cattleman for the open range, and by fortuitous chance the lad becomes the ward of a farmer who is killed a few years later by cattlemen. The lad (Gibson) vows to avenge his death and soon becomes known throughout the country as "The Rambler" by reason of the fact that he is always riding across country and searching for the murderers. Through hazardous adventure he becomes associated with some desperate characters, who, however, have retained some spark of humanity, and in the leader this is represented by his love for his beautiful daughter (Hulette), just merging into womanhood. Escaping many traps by shooting his way to safety, "The Rambler" finally keeps his vow, comes to happiness — and then his country calls him to oppose the armies of Spain.

Lucius Fulvius Curvus was an aristocrat of the middle Roman Republic and consul prior in 322 BC with Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus. He is the first of the gens Fulvia documented in the history of Rome.

According to his filiation, his father and grandfather's names were also Lucius.

Fulvius Curius is said to have been consul the year Tusculum, according to Cicero the home town of the Fulvii, revolted against Rome; and on going over to the Romans he was made consul and triumphed over his own countrymen. Some records state that Fulvius and Fabius also warred against the Samnites, and triumphed over them; Livy, however, gives the credit to the dictator Aulus Cornelius Cossus Arvina. In 313 BC he was magister equitum to the dictator Lucius Aemilius Mamercinus, who led the siege of Saticula, which succeeded after the army drove off an attempt of the Samnites to relieve the city.

"" is a German pejorative term used to refer to tabloid journalism and the yellow press. The term is a neologism from the early 20th century, formed from the word journalism and the French word , meaning scum, scoundrel or rabble. The term was introduced by the Austrian writer Karl Kraus in an article in his journal Die Fackel in 1902. In a later article in the same journal, Kraus wrote that the original inventor of the term was the Austrian dramaturge Alfred von Berger.  The pejorative term was much used by the German Nazi Party in their attacks on the press of the Weimar Republic. Unlike many other terms used by the Nazis, the word  is still used in present-day Germany, and has also established itself in the political parlance of the Netherlands and Flanders.

James Marvin Henderson (March 28, 1921 – October 31, 1995) was the founder of the Henderson Agency.

Henderson founded the eponymous agency in 1946. The agency was described by The New York Times as "one of the bigger agencies in the Southeast."

In 1969, Henderson took a one-year leave of absence from his advertising agency to serve as Special Assistant to the Postmaster General for Public Information, returning February 1970. In 1970, he was the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor of South Carolina. Henderson was elected secretary-treasurer of American Association of Advertising Agencies, "the most prestigious organization in its field" in 1971.

In 1974, his life story to that point was described by a New York Times writer as a "slightly cracker-barrel rags-to-riches saga."

He retired from the Henderson Agency in 1986 at the age of 65. Twenty years later, the headline "A South Carolina Agency Closes Its Doors" told about the end of what The New York Times called Henderson Advertising.

A regional obituary noted that Henderson was "known for putting Greenville on the national advertising map" because it was "in 1980 ... the first ad agency outside of Chicago or New York to be named Advertising Agency of the Year by Advertising Age magazine."

Associated Press v. United States, 326 U.S. 1 (1945), was a United States Supreme Court case on U.S. antitrust law.

Facts
The Associated Press (AP) had prohibited member newspapers from selling or providing news (whether that news was supplied by the AP, or was authored by the member newspaper - called "spontaneous" news) to nonmember organizations as well as making it very difficult for nonmember newspapers to join the AP.

Originally there were three separate cases (Associated Press et al. v. U.S., Tribune Company et al. v. U.S. and U.S. v. Associated Press et al.) that were joined into one when heard at the Supreme Court.

Judgment
The Supreme Court held that Associated Press had violated the Sherman Act. The bylaws of AP at that time, as written, constituted restraint of trade. The fact that AP had not achieved a complete monopoly was irrelevant. The First Amendment did not excuse newspapers from violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. News, traded between states, counts as interstate commerce, and thus makes the issue relevant for the Sherman Antitrust Act. Finally, Freedom of the press from governmental interference under the First Amendment does not sanction repression of that freedom by private interests (326 U.S. 20).

Vicia ervilia, called ervil or bitter vetch, is an ancient legume crop of the Mediterranean region. Besides the English names, other common names include:  (Persian),  (Arabic),  (Spanish),  (Greek), and  (Turkish).
The nutritional value of the grain for ruminant cattle has guaranteed the species' continued cultivation in Morocco, Spain and Turkey. The crop is easy to cultivate and harvest and can be grown on very shallow, alkaline soils.

The grain when split resembles red lentils. For human consumption the bitterness of the seeds needs to be removed through leaching by several changes of boiling water. Owing to this bitterness, it is unlikely that someone would accidentally confuse bitter vetch with red lentils. According to Zohary and Hopf, only humans of the poorest economic classes consume this crop, or in times of famine;. Pliny the Elder states that bitter vetch (ervum) has medicinal value like vetch (vicia), citing the letters of Augustus where the emperor wrote that he regained his health from a diet of bitter vetch (N.H. 18.38).

The grain is an excellent sheep and cattle feed concentrate. It has been held in high esteem by farmers in the Old World since the beginning of agriculture to improve the nutritional value of bulk feeds.

The wild strains of bitter vetch are limited to an area that includes Anatolia and northern Iraq, with an extension south along the Anti-Lebanon Mountains of Syria and Lebanon. Traces of the earliest domesticated instances were recovered from several archeological sites in Turkey, with an uncorrected radiocarbon dating of the 7th and 6th millennia BC.
