Sustain is a 2018 composition for orchestra by the American composer Andrew Norman. The work was premiered on October 4, 2018 by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, as part of their centennial season.

Composition

Inspiration 
Sustain was commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic for their centennial season. Norman has stated that he began by imagining what orchestral music will mean in the future, during the 200th season of the orchestra. Thus, the piece was conceptualized as "one long unbroken musical thought", focusing on the importance of communal listening. However, it eventually came to represent the Earth and the vast scale of geologic time.

Norman has explained in an interview that the title "Sustain" comes partly from his background as a pianist (in reference to the sustain pedal), and that it also relates to the idea that each note in the piece should have its own journey.

Structure 
Sustain's form has been described by Norman as a "contracting spiral". It consists of ten cycles of the same music, becoming faster each time they repeat. Each cycle begins with a distinctive "signal" played by two pianos (tuned a quarter tone apart), followed by waves of sound in the strings. As the winds begin to interrupt, the music becomes more hectic and climactic, after which it fades and the cycle ends. The first cycle lasts approximately seventeen minutes, while the final spans mere seconds. Eventually, the orchestra is left in an unconducted, semi-improvisational section that slowly dies out, leaving the two pianos. The piece concludes with the pianos' signal, after which the strings mime (but do not play) a sustained note on their highest string.

A similar structure was used in Norman's earlier and shorter work Spiral. In describing that work, Norman said that he had been considering the idea of a "spiral-shaped" orchestral piece for some time.

Instrumentation
The piece is scored for the following orchestra:

Woodwinds
3 Flutes (3rd doubling piccolo)
3 Oboes
3 Clarinets
3 Bassoons

Brass
4 Horns
4 Trumpets
3 Trombones
1 Tuba

Percussion (4 players)
Timpani
Bass drum
Bell tree
Crotales
Glockenspiel
4 Log drums
2 Suspended pieces of plywood
Tam-tam
4 Temple blocks
Vibraphone
2 Pianos (one detuned by a quarter tone)

Strings
Harp
16 Violin I
14 Violin II
12 Violas
10 Cellos
8 Double basses

Reception and awards
The piece has been described as "sublime" by The New York Times, and as a "masterpiece" by both the Los Angeles Times and The New Yorker.

In 2020, Norman was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition for the work, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic won the Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance for their 2019 recording of the piece. The composition was also a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Music.

Alcolapia is a genus of small fishes in the family Cichlidae. Their native range is restricted to margins of Lake Natron and Lake Magadi, as well as similar conditions in nearby hot springs, in Kenya and Tanzania. They live in waters that are warm (mostly , although occasionally down to ), hypersaline (salinity above 40‰) and alkaline (pH above 10). Species from this genus have also been introduced to Lake Nakuru and Lake Elmenteita. They are the only fish in their range.

The different Alcolapia species differ primarily in the position of their mouth (straight, upturned or downturned) and the colors of the adult males. They are fairly small fish, with the largest species reaching up to  in standard length. They mostly feed on algae and cyanobacteria, but also take other plant material, fish eggs, fry and remains, and insects in smaller quantities (except A. alcalica, which feed on other plant material at about the same level as algae and cyanobacteria). They are maternal mouthbrooders.

Taxonomy

Alcolapia was first included in Tilapia, then moved to Oreochromis and finally to their own genus. Nevertheless, the genus is very closely related to Oreochromis, and O. amphimelas and O. esculentus appear to be closer to Alcolapia than they are to other Oreochromis species. Similar to Alcolapia, O. amphimelas inhabits Tanzanian lakes that can be highly alcaline and saline. A potential solution is to merge Alcolapia into Oreochromis, as done by Catalog of Fishes.

Species
There are currently four recognized species in this genus:

 Alcolapia alcalica (Hilgendorf, 1905) (Magadi tilapia)
 Alcolapia grahami (Boulenger, 1912)
 Alcolapia latilabris (Seegers & Tichy, 1999)
 Alcolapia ndalalani (Seegers & Tichy, 1999)

In high school, he formed a rock band with his classmates and played electric guitar. At the age of 16, he entered the Sevastopol National Technical University, Faculty of Economics and Management. He trained in the rock climbing team.

In 2008, he became a finalist for the Stockholm Junior Water Prize with his invention for desalination and was awarded by Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden.

In 2012, he visited the Yukharina Balka airfield to learn to fly. At that time, the DOSAAF explained that "airplanes don't fly without money" and sent him to the parachute unit, where he made his first jump.

At the Ukrainian Pilot School, he received his private pilot's license on K-10 Swift. After obtaining his license, he met aerobatics coach Igor Chernov, who taught Timur simple and complex aerobatics on an RV-7.

In 2018, he took aerobatics training on an Extra 330lx in Aachen, received a German pilot's license at the Extrabatics school to fly solo on rental aircraft in Europe. In August of the same year, he performed at the Korolyov air show in Zhytomyr.

The Devil's Playground is a 1928 Australian feature-length film set in the South Seas. It was produced by a largely amateur group from the north shore of Sydney.

Production
The film was made by a largely amateur group who formed a company, Fine art Film, in 1927 with a capital of £2,000.

Their first production was the Pacific Island adventure, Trobriana, which was never released. Scenes were shot on beaches near Sydney and interiors in the Mosman Town Hall. Natives were played by Sydney lifeguards in black face.

It was known during filming as Pearl of the Pacific.

Cast member Elza Stenning later became well known as Sydney socialite Elsa Jacoby.

Release
The film sold to Universal Pictures in England. However, the censor prevented its export. According to the Sydney Morning Herald at the time, 
"The Commonwealth censorship regulations specify the following heads under which a film may be condemned:
(a) Blasphemy, indecency, or obscenity; 
(b) likely to be injurious to morality, or to encourage or incite to crime; 
(c) likely to be offensive to the people of any friendly nation; 
(d) likely to be offensive to the people of the British Empire; 
(e) depiction of any matter the exhibition of which is undesirable in the public interest, or likely to prove detrimental or prejudicial to the Commonwealth. 
According to the Chief Censor, "The Devil's Playground" violates four out of the five stipulations, namely (a), (b), (d), and (e).
More specifically, relating to (e), the Controller General of Custmos O'Reilly thought that showing ill-treatment of natives by Australians or a native revolt in Australian territory (the Trobriand Islands) would be detrimental to Australia's reputation. Not released in Australia, the film "had no more than trade screenings at the time of its production and was not shown publicly until 1966".

The national flag of Guatemala, often referred to as "Pabellón Nacional" (literally, "National Flag") or "Azul y Blanco" ("Blue and White") features two colors: Sky blue and white. The two Sky blue  stripes represent the fact that Guatemala is a land located between two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean sea); and the sky over the country (see Guatemala's national anthem). The white signifies peace and purity. The blue and white colors, like those of several other countries in the region, are based on the flag of the former Federal Republic of Central America.

In the center of the flag is the Guatemalan coat of arms.  It includes the resplendent quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala that symbolizes liberty; a parchment scroll bearing the date of Central America's independence from Spain, 15 September 1821; crossed  Remington  rifles, indicating Guatemala's willingness to defend itself by force if need be; a bay laurel crown, the symbol for victory; and crossed swords, representing honor. It is one of four national flags among UN member states that features a firearm, along with those of Mozambique, Haiti, and Bolivia.

It is one of five national flags that use the ratio 5:8, with the others being Argentina, Palau, Poland, and Sweden.

History 

The  Federal Republic of Central America flag was used in Guatemala until 1851, when a pro-Spanish faction took over and added the Spanish colors of red and yellow to the flag. The original colors were restored on 17 August 1871, but as vertical (rather than horizontal) stripes in order to distinguish it from other flags and with a new coat of arms.

The resplendent quetzal previously appeared in the 1830s in the flag of Los Altos, the sixth state in the Federal Republic.

In 2008 a flag called the Bandera de Los Pueblos (Flag of indigenous peoples) was adopted by law and is shown together with the national flag of Guatemala in all events featuring the President of Guatemala since then. The flag is divided in four parts, red, yellow, white and black, each colour representing Xinca people, Garifuna people, Maya people, and Ladino people, respectively.

These colours are also part of the Qanil, a Maya symbol in which each color represents a point of the compass, an element of nature and a part of the human being. Qanil means "seed" in Mayan languages, and is also one of the 20 days of the Maya calendar.
Aimed at promoting "interculturality" in Guatemala, the Bandera de los Pueblos was received with disinterest by the leaders of the peoples, who do not seem to have been consulted.

The Adorable Outcast is a 1928 Australian silent film directed by Norman Dawn about an adventurer who romances an island girl. The script was based on Beatrice Grimshaw's novel Conn of the Coral Seas.  It was one of the most expensive films made in Australia until that time, and was Dawn's follow up to For the Term of His Natural Life (1927). It did not perform as well at the box office and helped cause Australasian Films to abandon feature film production.

For the American market, the film was retitled Black Cargoes of the South Seas.

Synopsis
A young adventurer, Stephen Conn (Edmund Burns) is in love with an island girl, Luya (Edith Roberts). An evil blackbirder Fursey (Walter Long) kidnaps Luya to get hands on some gold, but Stephen rescues her with the help of Luya's tribe. When it is revealed that Luya's parents were white, she and Stephen are married.

Production
The big-budget film was shot mostly on location in Fiji from April to June 1927, with some studio work done at Bondi Junction in Sydney. The three leads, Edith Roberts, Edmund Burns and Walter Long, were all established Hollywood actors. The ambitious filming schedule involved "500 war canoes and outriggers, and 2000 native warriors dancing in full war dress with clubs and spears".

Reception
The film initially performed strongly at the box office but soon tailed off, and expected overseas success did not eventuate. It was estimated the combined losses of this and Norman Dawn's earlier film, For the Term of His Natural Life (1927) came to £30,000.

It was released in the US as Black Cargoes of the South Seas.

Fifteen minutes of the film are in the possession of Australia's National Film and Sound Archive.

The Engine House No. 18 is a fire station located at 3812 Mt. Elliott Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It is also known as Engine Company No. 18 Fire Station. It is the third oldest existing (and was the oldest operating when closed in 2012) fire station in Detroit. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

History
Land for this Engine House was purchased in 1891 for $2100 (equivalent to $ in ). The building was designed by the Detroit architects George D. Mason and Zachariah Rice and constructed by Vinton & Co. for $20,228.14 (equivalent to $ in ).

Description
The Engine House is a two-story red brick building with trim of red-orange sandstone and salmon colored brick topped with a high double-pitch hip roof in the front and a lower roof in the rear. Dormers feature wooden cornices containing sculpted faces, serpents, and dragonheads. Two engine bays are located on the first floor, along with the station office, kitchen, and dining & recreation room. The sleeping quarters, officer's room, locker room and bathroom are on the second floor. A hose-drying chamber stretches from the first floor to the attic.

A rear addition to the original 1892 building was constructed in 1949; the site also houses a one-story, brick storage building at the rear of the lot.
