Duke of Abrantes (unrelated to the Spanish and French titles) is a title of Portuguese nobility. It is the only one that was officially recognised by the Kingdom of Portugal. It was created by decree of King Joseph I of Portugal, on 9 December 1753, for Ana Maria Catarina Henriqueta de Lorena, 3rd Marchioness of Abrantes and 9th Countess of Penaguião.

The King advanced Dona Ana Maria de Lorena, 3rd Marchioness of Abrantes, to the rank of duchess (vitalício) upon her appointment as The Queen's Maid of Honour (Camareira-Môr), the highest court position for ladies. The title was subsequently revived for the same reason in favour of her daughter Maria Margarida, considered to be the "2nd Duchess".

List of the Duchesses of Abrantes 
Ana Maria Catarina Henriqueta de Lorena, Duchess of Abrantes vitalício (1691–1761), also 3rd Marchioness of Abrantes;
Maria Margarida de Lorena, Duchess of Abrantes vitalício (1713–1780), also 4th Marchioness of Abrantes (daughter of Duquesa Ana Maria).

Subsidiary titles held by the Duchesses of Abrantes 
Countess of Penaguião, created in 1583 by King Philip I of Portugal;
Marchioness of Abrantes, created in 1718 by King John V of Portugal.

In the card game "contract bridge", a splinter bid is a convention whereby a double jump response in a side-suit indicates excellent support (at least four cards), a singleton or void in that side-suit (but preferably not the ace or king), and at least game-going strength. Some partnerships agree that the maximum strength can be only that necessary to reach a game contract; stronger holdings with major suit support instead might temporize with a Jacoby 2NT bid.

The idea was developed independently in 1963 by David Cliff, the first to write about it, and Dorothy Hayden Truscott; it grew out of two earlier bidding tools, the Fragment bid and the Void-Showing bid.

Examples
For example, a four clubs (4) response to a one heart (1) opening establishes hearts as trump suit and indicates a singleton or void in clubs. Different bidding systems may specify different strengths for responder's hand, e.g. 10-12 high card points (HCP), 10-14 or 11-15, for a splinter. With a strong hand, a responder and opener may be able to make slam on sheer strength, so splinters by responder are best restricted to hands containing a fairly narrow HCP range and a void or a small singleton in the splintered suit. A singleton honor is frowned upon. Although they consume bidding space, splinter bids are very descriptive as they help partner to reevaluate his/her hand: soft honors (a king, queen or jack) in the splinter suit lose value, while honors in the other three suits gain value.

In some positions if a simple bid of the suit would be forcing then a single jump can be a splinter. For example, in a system where 1–2; 2 is a forcing sequence, 1–2; 3 may be used as a splinter. (However, this approach would require a specific agreement in advance—many players use this sequence to denote a strong two-suiter.) Some partnerships use certain single jumps as "mini-splinters" that promise less strength, allowing partner to choose between part-score and game rather than between game and slam.

The short suit in a splinter hand is preferably a small singleton, though it can occasionally be a singleton honor or a void. The idea is that partner can easily tell if he has wasted values in the splinter suit; for example, Axxx is ideal whereas KJ9x is almost worthless.

Opener can also make a splinter bid to agree responder's suit if he is strong enough to be able to force to game if responder was minimum for his bid; see example 2 below.  Typically, opener would have 15-18 points for this sequence.

The four diamond bids in the following bidding sequences (with East-West passing throughout) are generally agreed to be splinter bids establishing spades as the trump suit:

A splinter may occur at the three level. In the following auction, South is showing acceptance of hearts and a singleton in spades.

Florence Turner Blake (1873–1959) was an Australian artist and benefactor. She was also known professionally as Florence Turner Mofflin, Florence Turner Greaves and Florence Mofflin.

Early life
The youngest of six children she was born as Florence Turner Blake Greaves on 26 October 1873 at Armidale, New South Wales to parents William Albert Braylesford Greaves and Annie Greaves, née Mackenzie. When she was about seven the family moved to Braylesford, in Bondi Road, Bondi.

Career
Florence Greaves was one of Julian Ashton's first students at his Sydney Art School  It is likely that she met Tom Roberts through Ashton. There are two portraits of Florence by Tom Roberts, Portrait of Florence (circa 1898) and a pastel, Miss Florence Greaves, drawn in 1898.

In April 1902, Florence married William Edward Kugelmann Mofflin at St Luke's Anglican Church, Concord, Sydney. Although some of her works bear her married name, she divorced her husband in 1915.

Following her father's death in 1925 she traveled to London where she studied at the Slade School, London between 1925 and 1929 under Henry Tonks and became friendly with Lucien Pissarro, who gave her a painting.

In 1928 she dropped the name of her former husband by deed-poll and was known by the name Florence Turner Blake, in reference to her great-grandparents on her father's side, Thomas Turner and Barbara Blake.

She is best known for water-colour paintings on silk fans, especially Frivolers (1916) and Garden of Dreams (1920), in the collection of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, and The Silver Moon, in the National Gallery of South Australia.

Benefactor
Florence Blake died at Ryde, New South Wales on 8 April 1959 and was cremated. She left almost the whole of her estate, valued for probate at 54,214 pounds, to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the largest bequest it had received up until that time.

Greaves Place in the Canberra suburb of Conder is named in her honour. Also, Mofflin Street, Chisholm in the Australian Capital Territory is named after her.

Baron Hans von Rokitansky (German: Hans Freiherr von Rokitansky) (8 March 18352 November 1909) was an Austrian operatic bass who sang for three decades at the Vienna Hofoper (now Vienna State Opera) and in concerts and operas throughout Europe between 1856 and 1877.

He performed a wide repertoire that encompassed French grand opera, Italian bel canto opera, the German operas of Richard Wagner, and the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He possessed a deep resonant voice which remained clear until the very end of his career when his intonation began to suffer somewhat.

After retiring from the stage in 1893, he became a much celebrated singing teacher at the Vienna Conservatory and many of his pupils went on to have highly successful opera careers.

Life and career
Hans Freiherr von Rokitansky was born in Vienna, the son of Baron Carl von Rokitansky who was a famous physician and natural scientist. Hans's younger brother Baron Victor von Rokitansky (1836–1896), also became a successful opera singer and a composer. He later married Therese Lablache, a soprano and the daughter of the famous operatic bass Luigi Lablache.

Rokitansky studied music in Paris, Bologna, and Milan before making his professional singing début in an 1856 concert in London. The following year he made his first appearance on the operatic stage as Oroveso in Bellini's Norma at the Théâtre Italien in Paris. In 1862 he joined the roster at the National Theatre in Prague where his first role was Cardinal Brogny in Fromental Halévy's La Juive. He left Prague in 1864 to join the Vienna Hofoper where he sang roles for the next twenty-nine years. His many roles at that house included Giorgio in Bellini's I puritani, Leporello in Mozart's Don Giovanni, Sarastro in Mozart's The Magic Flute, Bertram in Meyerbeer's Robert le diable, the title role in Verdi's Fiesco, Caspar in Weber's Der Freischütz, the Landgrave in Wagner's Tannhäuser, and King Henry in Wagner's Lohengrin among others. He also notably portrayed both the High priest and the Guardian of the temple in the world premiere of Karl Goldmark's Die Königin von Saba in 1875.

In addition to performing in Vienna, Rokitansky periodically performed in operas and concerts in throughout Europe. He appeared in operas at Her Majesty's Theatre in London in 1865 and in 1866, notably singing Osmin in a revival of Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail. He also appeared in London performances in 1876-1877 and appeared in operas in Florence, Milan, Turin, and Bologna during the 1860s and 1870s.

After leaving the Vienna Hofoper in 1893, Rokitansky taught singing at the Vienna Conservatory for more than a decade. His younger brother Victor, also a successful opera singer and a composer, had taught at the conservatory previously from 1871 through 1880. Several of Hans's students went on to have successful opera careers, including Franz Xaver Battisti and Therese Boschetti. Hans retired to Schloss Laubegg, Styria where he died on 2 November 1909.

The discography of the Serbian industrial rock band dreDDup comprises seven studio albums, one live albums, one video album, and twenty music videos.

The band released their debut album, Mr Borndeads Feast in 2004, after the release of the compact cassette Abnormal Waltz, recorded in 1998. With the release of the band's second studio album, Future Porn Machine, the band abolished the early mainstream concept, and turned towards industrial rock music. However, it was on the follow-up, El Conquistadors, that the band found their own musical style and expression, an artistically oriented industrial rock, captured live on the Live in 219, also found on the third studio album El Conquistadors, released in 2009. In 2009, the band released the Industrial Renaissance DVD featuring the live recording of the 2007 Belgrade performance, and all the music videos the band had made throughout their career. Their fourth release was self-titled dreDDup (album) released for dPulse in 2011. Soon after that one, band announced the last album to be 'Nautilus'. After it was released in 2012, the band soon went silent on studio work. Surprisingly in 2014, they presented 'I Dreamt of a Dragon', their sixth studio album which contained more commercial sound. In early 2016. band came back with another release - their seventh studio album 'DeathOven (Rebels Have no Kings)'. They are currently working on their next record.

Gerald Bernard Wilkins (born September 11, 1963) is an American former professional basketball player. He is a 6'6" (1.98 m) shooting guard/small forward, who played collegiately at Moberly Area Community College and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga before a career in the NBA.

Wilkins is the younger brother of former Atlanta Hawks superstar Dominique Wilkins and father of guard/forward Damien Wilkins and Miss Georgia USA 2012 and Miss USA 2012 4th runner-up Jasmyn Wilkins. He was a key player on the New York Knicks team of the late 1980s, consistently being the second-leading scorer after Patrick Ewing. He was selected in the 1985 NBA draft and was once named Player of the Week (3/3/1991). Wilkins followed in his brother's footsteps, participating in the 1986 and 1987 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where he finished 4th and tied for 7th out of 8, respectively.

Though initially a starter on the Knicks, his role decreased with the arrival of shooting guard John Starks in 1990 and small forward Xavier McDaniel in 1992. He became a free agent after the 1992 season and signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which had a core of Mark Price, Larry Nance, and Brad Daugherty. The Cavaliers hoped that Wilkins would be the final piece of the puzzle in order to finally defeat Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. However, the Cavaliers were swept by the Bulls in the 1993 NBA Playoffs. He remained with the Cavaliers for a few more years, but languished due to injuries, especially during 1994–95 when he was out of action the entire season.

In 1995, Wilkins was picked up by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the expansion draft, but was unable to help out the team due to injury and lack of use, playing in only 28 of 82 games. He signed as a free agent with the Orlando Magic in 1996 and became their sixth man. The Magic signed him up again for 1997–98 with a $300,000 contract. In 1999, he signed a three-year contract worth $7 million. It was in his final season with the Magic that Gerald got to play with his older brother Dominique Wilkins, although both were in the twilight of their careers and thus used sparingly.
