Edwin Ransford (13 March 1805 – 22 November 1876) was an English opera singer and composer.

Biography
Ransford was born at Bourton-on-the-Water, near Moreton in the Marsh, Gloucestershire, on 13 March 1805. He first appeared on the stage as an extra in the opening chorus at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, and was afterwards engaged in the chorus at Covent Garden. During Charles Kemble's management of Covent Garden, Ransford was heard as a baritone in the part of Don Caesar in the Castle of Andalusia, performed on 27 May 1829, and was engaged soon afterwards by Samuel James Arnold for the English Opera House (now the Lyceum).

In the autumns of 1829 and 1830 he was at Covent Garden. In 1831 he played leading characters under Robert William Elliston at the Surrey Theatre, where he won great popularity. In 1832 he was with Joseph Grimaldi at Sadler's Wells, playing Tom Tuck in Andrew V. Campbell's nautical drama The Battle of Trafalgar, in which he made a great hit with S. C. Neukomm's song "The Sea". At this theatre in 1831 he sustained the part of Captain Cannonade in John Barnett's opera, The Pet of the Petticoats.

On 3 November 1831 at Drury Lane, he played Giacomo in Auber's Fra Diavolo, its first production in England. He afterwards fulfilled important engagements at Drury Lane, the Lyceum, and Covent Garden. At Covent Garden he played the Doge of Venice in Othello on 25 March 1833, when Edmund Kean made his last appearance on the stage; and Sir Harry in the School for Scandal on Charles Kemble's last appearance as Charles Surface. His final theatrical engagement was with Macready at Covent Garden in 1837–38.

After his retirement from the stage Ransford for a time sang at concerts, and then, from 1845 onwards, produced a series of popular musical entertainments, in which he was the chief performer. Among these ventures were "Illustrations of Gipsy Life and Character" (with the words to the songs by Eliza Cook), "Tales of the Sea", and "Songs of Dibdin".

Ransford was also well known as a composer of songs and glees, and between 1835 and 1876 more than fifty published pieces bear his name. For some years he was also in business as a music publisher at Charles Street, Soho Square, and at 2 Princes Street, Cavendish Square, London.

He died at 59 Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, London, on 11 July 1876, and was buried at Bourton-on-the-Water on 15 July. His wife  Hannah, who he had married in March 1825, died on 22 November 1876, aged 71.

Among his published songs, in which the words as well as the music were by himself, were: "Come, gang awa' wi' me", 1840, and "Summer is nigh", 1842. Under the name of "Aquila" he composed thirteen "Sacred Ballads" (1862–9), and wrote the words of the well-known song, "In the Days when we went gipsying". He was the author of "Jottings - Music in Verse", 1863.

The crested quetzal /ketSAHL/ (Pharomachrus antisianus) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae native to South America, where it is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Taxonomy
French naturalist Alcide d'Orbigny described the crested quetzal in 1837 as Trogon antisianus. The species name is derived from Antis, a Latinised version of the Andes, ultimately from anti, an Incan word for copper. It is closely related to the resplendent quetzal (P. mocinno).

It is one of five species of the genus Pharomachrus known as quetzals. The term "quetzal" was originally used for just the resplendent quetzal, but is now applied to all members of the genera Pharomachrus and Euptilotis.

Description 
Adult birds are  long. The head and upperparts of the adult male are metallic green, while its breast and belly are red. Alone among the quetzals, the male has a short crest above its short bill, which is orange. The vent is white. Females have brown heads and upper breast and no crest.

Distribution and habitat
The crested quetzal is found along the Andes from Bolivia through Ecuador, Peru and Colombia to Venezuela, in pristine and mature second-growth forest from  in altitude. It has been rated as least concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as it has a large range and its population appears to be stable.

Feeding
The crested quetzal is frugivorous. Adults raising young also catch more nutritious prey such as arthropods and small vertebrates; one such item recorded was the glassfrog species Hyalinobatrachium pallidum.

Mohammad Taskeen Manerwal (; 15 September 1949 – 10 January 2022) was a Pakistani intellectual, writer, and author of Pashto literature and poetry. He was also a teacher and retired from the Department of Education in 1999 as a headmaster. He belonged to Maniri Swabi.

Early life 
Mohammad Taskeen was born on 15 September 1949 in Maniri village of Swabi.  He had three sisters and three brothers, and his father Mohammad Yameen was the school headmaster.  Taskeen was nicknamed "Manerwal" after his village, while the name "Taskeen" was originally given to a deceased elder brother.

Manerwal began primary school in 1953.  He matriculated from Swabi High School in 1965, and finished intermediate college at Government Post Graduate College, Swabi in 1967.  He later completed a private B.A. (1977) and a B.Ed (1980).  He became a schoolteacher in 1969, and retired from the Department of Education in 1999 as a headmaster.

Career 
Manerwal started writing poetry when he was a fifth-grade student, influenced by the Pashto poets Rahman Baba and Khushal Khan Khattak.  When Taskeen was studying at Government Post Graduate College, Swabi, he was involved in the publication of the Neelab Magazine.  His writing in Neelab brought him to the attention of established Pashto writers such as Abdul Ghani Khan.  Manerwal's numerous ghazals and poems, such as "Cha Kha Khoshay Shara Wy" (1973), were popular among Pashtuns not only in Pakistan but also in Afghanistan.  His only book, the poetry collection Cha Kha Khoshay Shara Wy, was published in 2011, strengthening his reputation as a romantic poet.

Personal life and death 
Manerwal was unmarried, but said he would live among the people through his poetry. According to his colleagues, his life was difficult, but when he was among the people, he was a true advocate of peace.  He disliked politics, and was a reader of Sufi poetry.

El Noticiero Granadino was a Spanish newspaper published in the city of Granada between 1904 and 1936.

History 
Initially created as a newspaper of liberal ideology, it was later placed in the orbit of the Conservative Party and configured as a newspaper of conservative ideology and sympathisers with the monarchy. There was a stage of its existence in which it was financed by local caciques, who used its pages as a means of expression. During the first third of the 20th century it was one of the main newspapers published in Granada, coexisting with other newspapers.

By 1927 it had a daily circulation of 10,000 copies, ranking behind El Defensor de Granada. However, from that moment the newspaper began its decline. During the riots of May 1931, the newspaper's editorial office was assaulted and burned. Despite its previous pro-monarchical editorial line, during the Second Republic period it took a turn in its editorial line and evolved into a journal of independent ideology. 

The beginning of the Spanish Civil War in July 1936 led to the disappearance of the Noticiero Granadino.

The gens Lemonia was an ancient but obscure family at Rome.  Hardly any members of this gens are known, and the name might be entirely forgotten, were it not for the fact that the Lemonii gave their name to one of the Servian tribes.  This dates the family to at least the middle of the sixth century BC, when they may have been major landholders in the region later known as the pagus Lemonius, but none of the Lemonii are known to have held any magistracies over the history of the Republic.  A few Lemonii are known from inscriptions; a family of this name lived in Venetia and Histria.

Members

 Lucius Lemonius, buried at Aquileia in Venetia and Histria.
 Lucius Lemonius T. f., built a tomb near Patavium in Venetia and Histria for a certain Pittiaca Primula.

The Great Theater of the World (El Gran Teatro del Mundo) is a c. 1634 play from Spanish writer Pedro Calderón de la Barca (17 January 1600 – 25 May 1681). The play is an allegorical explanation of man's place in world according to the Catholic Church doctrine.

In the play there is an Author (God) who writes the actual Play that is the world; humans are given characters according to the Author’s will: the King who has the power, the poor who suffers, the rich who enjoys very much his stay in the Play, etc., etc. These characters are just playing their roles in this “Play” that is the world and is just a test. Those who do a good performance of their characters will be rewarded by the Author at the end of the (brief, short, and fast) Play while those who do a bad performance will receive their just punishment.

The play is a depiction of the Catholic Church’s doctrine on how humans are on Earth just for a brief and fast test while the real (and eternal) existence is the one that begins with death as in the afterlife.  Calderón uses again this doctrinal and philosophical concept of human existence in the world in his more famous play, Life Is a Dream.

This concept of human existence is today’s official Catholic doctrine and an argument against God’s nonexistence due to the suffering and evil present in the world. This doctrine states that only God and the afterlife are the source of absolute justice as they are the only guarantee that evil but powerful and rich people will receive just punishment and good but poor/ill people who suffer on Earth will receive just reward.
