At Eurovision

National selection
HRT allowed artists and composers to submit their entries for Dora 2021 between 26 October 2020 and 10 December 2020 for the selection of their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. On 15 December 2020, Albina was announced as one of the fourteen participants in Dora 2021 with the song "Tick-Tock". In the final, held on 13 February 2021, she won the televote and jury vote, placing first with 198 points and thus earned the right to represent Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.

In Rotterdam 
The song was performed in Ahoy during the first semi-final on 18 May 2021 but did not qualify for the final. Doing so it became the first non-qualifier in Eurovision history to place in the top 10 with both televote and juries without making it to the final.

Commercial performance
"Tick Tock" debuted atop the HR Top 40 chart, giving Grčić her first number-one single in Croatia.  It marked her second entry on the chart, after "Imuna na strah". "Tick Tock" also debuted atop of all five regional charts of the HR Top 40.

Vanguard was a VSTi and AU software synthesizer created by Canadian independent publisher reFX and Markus Krause from Tone2 Audio.

Production 
Released in 2004, Vanguard was a virtual analog synthesizer with three oscillators, 31 waveforms alongside a supersaw that goes up to 10-voices, a filter with 13 types, delay, and reverb effects, and stereo pattern controlled trancegate and arpeggiator. Most functions could be automated, such as cutoff frequencies, resonance, ADSR, and LFO. Vanguard worked with any VST-capable host and featured the Trancegate and Arpeggiator tools. A majority of the audio engine was programmed by Markus Krause of Tone2 Audio. The factory presets were made by Manuel Schleis and Markus Krause.

Discontinuation and current use
Vanguard was discontinued in 2016. The software can still be downloaded from the reFX website for existing licensed users and can still be played through any DAW that supports 32-bit or 64-bit plugins, namely FL Studio. 

Vanguard is used by many  electronic dance music producers, despite not remaining as prevalent as reFX's Nexus 4 hybrid synthesizer plugin. Vanguard is considered to be an impressive and straightforward synth amongst many producers.

Revival 
In late 2022, reFX announced they had revived the Vanguard synthesizer as Vanguard 2 with an updated vector-based user interface, in addition to 10 new wavetables by Mirko Ruta, 24db ladder filters for lowpass and highpass, a new reverb by Mirko Ruta replacing the old reverb and a distortion effect alongside 136 new factory presets made by Mirko Ruta and other modulation features, such as a new 3rd envelope and a new delay type intended to widen a sound.

The Chicago mayoral election of 1887 saw Republican John A. Roche win by a landslide, receiving more than a two-thirds majority of the vote, defeating Socialist Robert S. Nelson by more than 36 points (a margin of victory which was itself greater than Nelson's vote share).

Lack of Democratic nominee
The Democratic Party failed to field a candidate.

Incumbent Democrat Carter Harrison Sr. had opted to retire as mayor. Harrison had lost the backing of his party. This came amid declining public support for Harrison. Among other reasons, Harrison had lost the Party's backing were his handling of the Haymarket Riot and his failure to receive the endorsement of the United Labor Party (which he had attempted to convince to support him in the fusion ticket with the Democrats). His handling of the Haymarket affair also harmed his standing with business groups. Another factor in his decision to not seek reelection was election scandals relating to charges brought against individuals of election fraud which, while having little to do with Harrison's own personal conduct, were still prospectively damaging to his chances of victory.

The Democratic Party nominated DeWitt Clinton Cregier, who refused their nomination. After this, and despite his declared intent to retire, they attempted to nominate Harrison, who also refused their nomination.

Campaign
Roche ran as a fiscally conservative "law-and-order" candidate.

Roche was regarded by many Democrats to be the lesser of two evils. Behind-the-scenes, Roche received unlikely support from such Democrats as Michael Cassius McDonald. Incumbent Harrison, while not backing either candidate, dismissed many Democrats' worries about the prospect of a Nelson mayoralty, and also cautioned that a Roche election could spur the passage of additional blue laws.

Results
Roche received a roughly 27,000-vote margin-of-victory, at the time the greatest in the city's history.

Raymond Azar (; born 1953) was the head of the Lebanese military intelligence.

Early life and education
Raymond Azar was born into a Maronite family in the mostly Christian village of Machmouche in 1953. He studied to be a priest before joining the army.

Career
Azar was appointed to head of military intelligence in 1998 when Emile Lahoud was elected president. He was at this post at the time of Hariri assassination.

Controversy
Raymond Azar fell under suspicion of playing a role in the 2005 assassination of Rafiq Hariri a former prime minister of Lebanon. The Mehlis report included a witness as indicating that Azar, like Mustafa Hamdan, provided logistical support for the assassination. He and other three generals including Jamil Al Sayyed were arrested on 30 August 2005. They were held in Roumieh prison, northeast of Beirut from 2005 to April 2009. It is argued that first loyalty of all four generals was to Syrian government rather than Lebanese government. They all were released in April 2009 due to lack of evidence.

I Love Beijing () is a 2001 Chinese film directed by Ning Ying. It constitutes the third film in Ning's "Beijing Trilogy," a loose coterie of films detailing the rapid changes that have befallen Beijing in recent decades. In this final installment, a recently divorced cabdriver, Desi (Yu Lei) feels disconnected from the modern city of Beijing as he picks up fares around the city, all while engaging in a series of short-term relationships with the various women he meets.

The film was written by Ning and her sister and collaborator, Ning Dai, and was produced by Eurasia Communications and Happy Village.

The film's title in Chinese was originally meant to mirror the English title "I Love Beijing." Ning Ying's ambivalence towards the city's modernization, however, made censors concerned that people would interpret the title as sarcastic, leading to the altered title which translates as the "Warmth of Summer."

Plot 
With each entry into Ning Ying's Beijing Trilogy, the focus has been on a different generation: the elderly in For Fun, the middle-aged in On the Beat and now the youth in I Love Beijing. The film follows the twenty-something taxi driver Desi (Yu Lei) and opens on his divorce proceedings. Finding himself alone, Desi becomes something of a Casanova, and is soon dating a waitress, then a librarian, then a radio talk show host. Each woman, however, lacks something he desires. It becomes clear that despite his serial monogamy, Desi is really a romantic, and wonders when he will find the love of his life in the rapidly changing city he lives in.

Style 
Like Ning's earlier films, which were sometimes described as "cinéma vérité" in both camera work and the use of non-professional actors, I Love Beijing uses a naturalistic filming style. This can be seen in the cinematography of Gao Fei, which Variety noted created "casual yet revealing glimpses in long, seductive sequences that recall stylistically the work of Chantal Akerman."

The film's climactic scene in the night club "Maxim's" was also improvised. Ning sent invitations out to much of Beijing's young, successful population to attend a party but never specifically stated that it was for the purposes of filming a scene. The scene, however, was found to be overly long leading one reviewer to claim that it brought the film "to a dead halt". The negative reaction would lead Ning to edit it out almost entirely in the month before the film's premiere in Berlin.

As a result, there are two versions of the film. The version screened at the 2001 International Film Festival Rotterdam ran 99 minutes, while the version that screened in Berlin the following month clocked in at only 79 minutes.

DVD release 
I Love Beijing was released on Region 1 DVD for North American markets on October 28, 2008, by Facets Multi-Media.

Passendale cheese, named for Passendale, the village where it originated, is one of the best-known cheeses of Belgium. Regular Passendale cheese is produced in two versions, Classic and Prelude. There is also a premium version, Passendale Bel Age.

Passendale Cheese resembles a loaf of bread, with a round shape, and a hard but edible brown rind with spots of white. Inside, the flesh is golden, dotted with small holes and very creamy. It has a firm and damp consistency, slightly sweet bouquet and mild flavor.

History
The Donck family of Passendale started producing cheeses in 1932 with the cooperation of many of the area's milk producers. After World War II, the family began producing milk, butter and yoghurt as well, and eventually relocated their business to a former brewery. In 1978, they launched "de Groot Hof–Grand’Ferme", a cheese inspired by local tradition. In 1980, it was renamed Passendale for export purposes. In 1991 the Comelco group, owner of the company making Passendale, was bought by the Dutch Campina company. The Bongrain group, which bought the company in 2007, has become the second-largest Belgian cheese producer.

Types of Passendale

Classic and Prelude
At the end of the ripening process, the rind of the Passendale Classic is brushed before it is packaged.

Passendale Bel Age
This special version of the cheese ripens for 6 months in the cellars of Cheesemaker Passendale, and has a more distinguished taste.

Singarasa was a local chieftain holding the title of Maha-Samantha (prince of a subjugated region), who had his headquarters at Arasikere, Hassan district, Karnataka, India, in the 12th century CE. He was a popular chieftain of his time, and several places in Karnataka are named after him, for example Singatagere (Arasikere taluk), Singanamane (Bhadravathi taluk), Singanagadde (N.R. Pura taluk) and Singasandra. Several chieftains with the same or similar names ruled various parts of Karnataka from the 10th century CE onwards.

Mahasamantha
Singarasa ruled Arasiyakere (present-day Arasikere) when Vira Ganga Bittideva was king at Dorasamudra, the capital of the Hoysala Empire. Singarasa was the son and successor of Nagavarma; Bhutarasa was Singarasa's son and successor.

Relocated to Kanakatte
An inscription dated 1132 states that Singarasa was relocated from Arasikere to Kanakatte, where he built a temple named Bettadakalideva for Shiva by installing a linga. He also built another temple, which he named Singeshwara after himself, as was the prevailing practice.

Shields Road railway station was a railway station in Pollokshields, Glasgow, Scotland. Opened in 1870, it was expanded in 1925 when the adjacent Pollokshields and Shields stations were amalgamated into it. It closed in 1966.

History
The station was built by the City of Glasgow Union Railway on the original 1840 line from Paisley to Glasgow. It opened in the early 1870s, around the time when the line was being diverted from Bridge Street to the new St Enoch station in the city centre, initially terminating at .

Contemporary maps show that there were no stations at Shields Junction, prior to the general reorganisation of rail links between Paisley and Glasgow in the 1870s, in preparation for the opening of the new city centre terminals.

From 1885, however, after Shields station opened, there were three adjacent stations at this site, each with their own booking offices fronting Shields Road. Shields Road station was the largest of the three, sharing one of its platforms with Pollokshields station, which had been squeezed into the northern part of the complex, on the new track which had been laid to establish a link between Paisley and the Caledonian Railway’s proposed Glasgow Central station.

The three stations at Shields Junction were amalgamated in 1925, creating a larger Shields Road station, which was in use until 1966, when train services to St Enoch ended.
