Nelson Cavaquinho (October 29, 1911 – February 18, 1986, birth name Nelson Antônio da Silva) was one of the most important singer/composers of samba. He is usually seen as a representative of the tragic aspects of samba thematics, with many songs about death and hopelessness. He was a prominent figure of samba school Estação Primeira de Mangueira.

Biography
Nelson was born in Rio de Janeiro. Coming from a poor family, he quit school at a young age to seek employment in a factory.  He showed a musical talent at a young age playing a home-made guitar made of a cigar box and wires.  When he could, he would borrow a cavaquinho and try and copy the techniques of professional cavaquinho players. He demonstrated a great ability to play the instrument and composed a choro ("Caminhando") which gained him notoriety as a musician (due in part to an uncommon modulation which made it hard for other instrumentalists to harmonize it).  He was finally given a cavaquinho and having demonstrated a unique playing style on the instrument was given the nickname "Nelson Cavaquinho". He demonstrated a unique style of playing with only two fingers.

As a young man he became acquainted with famous samba players like Cartola, Carlos Cachaça, and Zé da Zilda. He went on to compose over 600 compositions. His main partner was Guilherme de Brito. Some of his better known works are:  "A Flor e o Espinho", "Folhas Secas", "O Bem e o Mal" and  "Juízo Final".

He died of emphysema on February 18, 1986, at the age of 74, in Rio de Janeiro.

Canadian Disasters: an historical survey by Robert L. Jones
All-electric range (AER) is the maximum driving range of an electric vehicle using only power from its on-board battery pack to traverse a given driving cycle. In the case of a Battery electric vehicle (BEV), it means the maximum range per recharge, typically between 150 and 400 miles. For a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), it means the maximum range in charge-depleting mode, typically between 20 and 40 miles. PHEVs can travel considerably further in charge-sustaining mode which utilizes both fuel combustion and the on-board battery pack like a conventional hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).

Calculating AER is made more complicated in PHEVs because of variations in drivetrain design.  A vehicle like the Fisker Karma that uses a serial hybrid design has a clear AER.  Similarly a vehicle like the Chevrolet Volt which has a parallel design disengages the internal combustion engine (ICE) from the drivetrain while in electric mode and has a clear AER. However blend-mode PHEVs which use the ICE and electric motor in series do not have a clear AER because they use both gasoline and electricity at the same time. This motor design uses only the battery to power the drivetrain and uses the internal combustion engine to generate electricity for the battery. Equivalent AER is the AER of vehicles following this architecture.  One example of this calculation can be found in Argonne National Labs report titled "TEST PROCEDURES AND BENCHMARKING Blended-Type and EV-Capable Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles."

This procedure uses the formula below to calculate an equivalent AER for vehicles that operate in blended mode:

Where GPMCD designates efficiency in charge-depleting mode, and GPMCS charge-sustaining mode as designated and dCD is distance in charge depleting mode.

A plug-in hybrid's all-electric range is designated by PHEV-(miles) or PHEV-(kilometers) km representing the distance the vehicle can travel on battery power alone. For example, a PHEV-20 can travel 20 miles without using its internal combustion engine, or about 32 kilometers, so it may also be designated as PHEV32km.

The all-electric range for BEVs has steadily increased in the last decade. In model year 2010 BEVs, the average AER is 127 km (78.9 mi), while in model year 2021 BEVs the average AER is 349 km (216.9 mi). In model year 2021 BEVs, the median driving range was 60% of the median range of internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, a gap which will continue to narrow as more long-range BEVs are produced.

The All-electric range has also increased for PHEVs over the past decade, increasing from an average PHEV range of 33 km (20.5 mi) in model year 2012 to 62 km (38.5 mi) in model year 2021.

The men's discus throw event was part of the track and field athletics programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics. The competition was held on Sunday, July 13, 1924. 32 discus throwers from 18 nations competed. The maximum number of athletes per nation was 4. The event was won by Bud Houser of the United States, the nation's fourth victory in the men's discus throw (and first since 1908); the Americans had medalled in each of the Olympic discus throw events to date. Houser had also won the shot put. Vilho Niittymaa took silver, keeping Finland on the podium in the event for the third straight Games. Thomas Lieb gave the United States its second discus throw medal of 1924, with his bronze.

Background

This was the seventh appearance of the event, which is one of 12 athletics events to have been held at every Summer Olympics. The three medalists from 1920 all returned: gold medalist Elmer Niklander and silver medalist Armas Taipale of Finland, and bronze medalist Gus Pope of the United States.

Brazil, Estonia, Ireland, Latvia, Portugal, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia each made their debut in the men's discus throw. The United States made its seventh appearance, having competed in every edition of the Olympic men's discus throw to date.

Competition format

The competition continued to use the single, divided-final format in use since 1896. Each athlete received three throws, with the top six receiving an additional three throws.

Records

These were the standing world and Olympic records (in metres) prior to the 1924 Summer Olympics.

In the qualification Bud Houser set a new Olympic record with 46.155 metres.

Schedule

Results

The best six throwers, all three groups counted together, qualified for the final. The throwing order and the throwing series are not available. The final was held on the same day. No competitor was able to improve his mark from the qualification.

Beyond the Mexique Bay is a book of travel essays by Aldous Huxley, first published in 1934. In it, he describes his experiences traveling through the Caribbean to Guatemala and southern Mexico in 1933. The work is named for a line in Andrew Marvell's poem, "Bermudas."

Background
In 1933, Huxley was at work on the novel that would become Eyeless in Gaza. However, struggling with the writing, Huxley "abandoned himself to travel," according to biographer Sybille Bedford. Huxley and his wife, Maria, left Liverpool in January 1933, and traveled to the West Indies on the cruise ship Britannic. They left the ship in Kingston, Jamaica, and traveled through British Honduras and Guatemala, where they persuaded coffee plantation owner Roy Fenton to take them by mule to his land in Mexico. Huxley and his wife returned to New York by May. The coffee plantation visit, and many other stories Huxley recorded in Beyond the Mexique Bay, would be later fictionalized in Eyeless in Gaza. For instance, Dr MacPhail, the Scottish doctor they stayed with in Guatemala, was the basis for character Dr Miller.

The final essay in Beyond the Mexique Bay is a critique of former mentor D. H. Lawrence's The Plumed Serpent and a partial repudiation of Lawrence's views on civilization.

A major theme of Beyond the Mexique Bay was Huxley's critique of totalitarianism and fascism, in particular Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany; in one essay, Huxley described the Nazi regime as "a rebellion against Western civilization.". Many of Huxley's German publishers balked at this, and these sections were expunged when the book was published by Germany's Albatross Books in 1935.

Potter Hall is a historic home located at Williston, Caroline County, Maryland, United States. It is an early-19th-century, Federal-influenced house facing the Choptank River. The house was constructed in three sections: a tall -story Flemish bond brick structure built about 1808 adjoining a lower -story, two-bay-wide central section built about 1750, also of Flemish bond brick, then a frame single-story kitchen wing added in 1930. Each of the three sections has a gable roof. Potter Hall was originally settled by Zabdiel Potter, who in the mid-18th century built a wharf and the small brick house. He developed Potter's Landing into a key early port for the shipping of tobacco to Baltimore.

Potter Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
