Format
The circuit has used the same format since the 2005 edition, all twelve CSV affiliated federations can host a tournament in the circuit called "stop". Once the stops have been stablished, the other eleven federations can enter up to two teams in each stop, any federation can choose to send two teams, only one team or non at all in both female and male tournaments; after the eleven visiting federations have declared their teams, the host federation can 'fill' the tournament with country quotas until there are 16 or 24 teams entered.

Each stop of 16 has the teams divided into four pools with four teams each, each pool plays a round-robin and the top two move on to quarterfinals, then semifinals and the final game. Each stop of 24 has the teams divided into six pools of four, each pool plays a round-robin and the top two teams from each pool plus the 4 best third places move on to the round of 16, then quarterfinals, semifinals and the final game, however, never has a stop has had 24 teams entered.

After a stop, each federation is given a score based on its best team's final ranking. After all stops have ended, the federation with the most points is declared the champion.

Harrison Radiator Corporation was an early manufacturer of automotive radiators and heat exchangers for crewed spacecraft and guided missiles, as well as various cooling equipment for automotive, marine, industrial, nuclear, and aerospace applications, (particularly for space suits of the first two U.S. human space flights) that became a division of General Motors in 1918. Today its business is a part of General Motors' Automotive Components Group, and is based in Lockport, Niagara County, New York.

History
The company was known in 1910, as the Harrison Radiator Company,  by Herbert C. Harrison, an inventor and entrepreneur. Harrison's technical background in metallurgy and the "Harrison Hexagon" honeycomb radiator had advantages in design (hexagon cellular efficient heat distribution) and manufacturing so that leakages became rare.  The first hand-built radiator was sold in 1911 to the Remington Standard Motor Company of New York.

In 1916 the company was sold to William C. Durant, the owner of the United Motors Company.  The Wall Street Journal commented:
"The company has large contracts with the Mitchell, Hupp, and Chandler, among other motor companies, and the increased facilities will enable it to accept contracts with the Olds, the Oakland, and the Chevrolet motor companies.

Durant, also the founder of General Motors, created United Motors to begin vertical integration of the automobile industry. United Motors was run by Alfred P. Sloan.  Durant lost control of General Motors in 1910 and established Chevrolet as his principal manufacturing company.  He regained control of General Motors in 1916 through a merger with Chevrolet, and in 1918 he sold United Motors to General Motors.

Other divisions of United Motors included the Hyatt Roller Bearing Company (roller bearings), New Departure Manufacturing Company (ball bearings), Remy Electric Company (electrical starting, lighting, and ignition equipment), Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, later known as Delco Electronics Corporation (electrical equipment), the Perlman Rim Corporation and Klaxon Horn.

Herbert Harrison remained President of Harrison Radiator until his death in 1927.

By 1929, the company was manufacturing 2.3 million radiators annually. It later became the division of GM responsible for manufacturing air conditioning units as well as radiators.  In 1995, General Motors formed a subsidiary for its components' divisions, called Delphi Automotive Systems (later Delphi Corporation) and the Harrison Radiator business was renamed Delphi Harrison Thermal Systems.  Delphi was spun off as an independent company in 1999. Delphi filed for bankruptcy in 2005 and emerged in 2009.  The Harrison business and the Lockport manufacturing plant were repurchased by General Motors as part of its GM Components Holdings subsidiary in October 2009.

Guan Pinghu (4 March 1897 – 28 March 1967), was a leading player of the guqin (), a Chinese 7-string bridgeless zither. Born in Suzhou, Jiangsu, Guan came from an artistic family, and started to learn the guqin from his father, Guan Nianci. After the death of his father when he was thirteen, Guan continued with his father's friend Ye Shimeng and Zhang Xiangtao. He also studied with the leading players of three different schools; Yang Zongji (1865–1933), the leading player in Beijing, the Daoist Qin Heming, and the Buddhist monk Wucheng.

Before 1949, Guan did some teaching at the Yenching University, but had most of his meager income from selling paintings and repairing old musical instruments and furniture.

In 1952, he became a teacher and assistant researcher at the Zhongyang Yinyue Xueyuan (Central Conservatory of Music) and a leading force at the Beijing Guqin Yanjiuhui (Beijing Guqin Research Institute), both in Beijing. He also recreated and performed many pieces, including Guangling San (), Youlan (《碣石調幽蘭》- Secluded Orchid), and Hujia Shiba Pai (《胡笳十八拍》 – Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute), that only existed as notation through a process known as dapu (). These pieces have become part of the core repertory of guqin music. Though he trained few prominent students, Guan's numerous recordings – notable for their austerity, subtlety, and bold presentation – have exerted wide and continuing influence.

In 1977, a recording of "Liu Shui" (流水; Stream), as performed by Guan, was chosen to be included in the Voyager Golden Record, a gold-plated LP recording containing music from around the world, which was sent into outer space by NASA on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is the second-longest excerpt included on the disc (lasting seven minutes and 37 seconds) and the only excerpt of Chinese music.

C. Michael Norton (born 1951) is an American artist based in New York City. Since the early 2000s, Norton has been best known for his large-scale abstractions on raw linen. He is represented by UNIX Gallery in New York.

After working first as a sculptor, Norton turned to painting as his predominant medium by the late 1980s. Educated as a sculptor, his paintings were made by a variety of tools beyond the traditional paintbrush, such as mud knives, rollers and squeegees. Some paintings evolved from markings collected by pieces of linen taped to the floor, then intuitively built upon.

Norton's work has been exhibited at institutions including the Sunshine International Museum and the Fifth Beijing International Biennale at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing; Albissola/ America/Arte” Museo Civico d’Arte Contemporanea, Albissola, Italy, the Torrance Museum of Art, Torrance, California, the San Francisco Museum of Art, San Francisco, California. It has been reviewed by prominent art publications including Art in America, which called Norton's paintings "architecturally structured, with an allover interplay between hard-edged forms and flat yet infinite space indicated by areas of raw canvas,", ARTnews, and Artcritical, and he has received critical acclaim from Eleanor Heartney, Raphael Rubinstein, Stephen Westfall, Richard Vine and David Cohen, among others. In Westfall's review of a 2013 exhibition at Thomas Punzmann Fine Arts in Frankfurt, he describes Norton's art historical lineage with artist such as Gerhard Richter, Jasper Johns, Frank Stella and Francis Bacon.

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)(pdf)(text) restricts the federal imposition of unfunded mandates on state, local and tribal governments in the United States.

History 
UMRA was introduced on January 4, 1995, in the Senate by Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho as S. 1 to the Committees on the Budget and Governmental Affairs.  It passed the full Senate on the 27th by a vote of 86 to 10; an identical version passed the House on February 1. It was signed into law by president Bill Clinton on March 22.

Provisions 
The four titles of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act are:

Title I: Legislative Accountability and Reform.  Any bill passed by committee must be submitted to the director of the Congressional Budget Office so that any federal mandates may be identified.  No bill which contains any such mandate imposing a direct cost of more than fifty million dollars on a state, local or tribal government or a cost of more than one hundred million dollars on the private sector may be sent to the full chamber without a corresponding appropriation.

Title II: Regulatory Accountability and Reform. Federal agencies must assess the cost of all new regulations to state, local and tribal governments and the private sector before issuing them.  Where such costs exceed one hundred million dollars, the issuing agency must consult with the affected governments and make sure that no less burdensome alternative exists.

Title III: Review of Federal Mandates. The U.S. Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations was directed to review the role of mandates in relations between the federal government and state, local and tribal governments and to recommend to Congress and to the president opportunities to simplify or eliminate federal mandates.

Title IV: Judicial Review. Federal courts may compel agencies to comply with their responsibilities under Title II.

Xenomorph is a Dutch death metal band formed in 1994 in Leiden, the Netherlands. The band is named after the Xenomorphs, fictional extraterrestrial creatures created by the Swiss artist H.R. Giger and used in the Alien franchise.

Xenomorph made a successful debut album, Baneful Stealth Desire, which was released by System Shock Records from Germany in 2001. In 2002 they toured Europe with Master and Krabathor.

In 2005, Dutch label Under Her Black Wings released Xenomorph's second album, Necrophilia Mon Amour. The album seems to have suffered from a media boycott in Germany, since it contains a song called "Treblinka," in reference to the Treblinka extermination camp. In 2006 the band went on tour through Europe again, this time with Macabre, Jungle Rot, and Impaled Nazarene.
