MIRROR is a multimedia project created by Canadian singer-songwriter Thomas Anselmi, former singer for Copyright and Slow. Formed in 2003, the project is based in Los Angeles, California, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Album
The Mirror album was released in 2009. It differs from Anselmi's prior punk and alt rock styles, containing semi-orchestral and cinematic elements. Anselmi says he was influenced by the soundtracks of David Lynch films and by the aesthetics of pop music and television variety shows, particularly German Schlager.

The album was produced by former Grapes of Wrath band member, Vincent Jones. Anselmi and Jones were able to secure Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan for the lead track, "Nostalgia". Additional performers and collaborators include singer Laure-Elaine, actress Frances Lawson, actor Joe Dallesandro, painter/actor Ronan Boyle, synthesist Phil Western, pianist Mike Garson, guitarist Knox Chandler, media artist and musician Haig Armen, and film director Sean Starke.

Video
A video for the opening track, "Nostalgia", was filmed on location in Poland and the Czech Republic. It combines archival footage with a live action performance by Gahan. The video was directed by Sean Starke.

The second video is "Greetings From Nowhere". It stars Frances Lawson performing the album's second song, "Nowhere". It was directed by Thomas Anselmi and Sean Starke, and filmed at the Salton Sea, California. The video contains a monologue not available on the album.

John Louis Petersen (January 8, 1942 – November 11, 2007) was an American drummer, most notably for rock bands The Beau Brummels and Harpers Bizarre.

Early life
John Petersen was born to Louis Sylvester Petersen and Mila Marie Williams in Rudyard, Michigan, on January 8, 1942, and moved to San Francisco at the age of five years old. Petersen attended Longfellow Elementary School in Long Beach as a child.

Career
In 1964 Petersen joined the Beau Brummels, whose first two singles, "Laugh, Laugh" and "Just a Little", reached the U.S. top 20. He appeared with the band in the 1965 science-fiction/comedy movie Village of the Giants, which was featured in a 1994 episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. 
Petersen also appeared with the band as The Beau Brummelstones on The Flintstones television animated sitcom in the season six episode "Shinrock A Go-Go," which originally aired on December 3, 1965.

Petersen left the group after their third album, Beau Brummels '66, to join Harpers Bizarre. Formerly known as the Tikis, Harpers Bizarre had a top 20 hit with a remake of Simon & Garfunkel's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" in 1967. The group broke up in 1970, but Petersen returned for a reunion album in 1976. Petersen also occasionally reunited with the Beau Brummels. In 1975, he played with and recorded on the band's self-titled album.

Touring had heightened tensions within the Beau Brummels and soon led to the departure of Declan Mulligan. Not long after that lead guitarist Ron Elliott was no longer able to perform live after suffering seizures from his diabetic condition. Elliott's father, who managed the Beau Brummels was recommended to recruit Don Irving as a temporary replacement on the road. Don Irving became a permanent member in early 1966, and he performed on the band's third album—and first on Warner Bros. Records—Beau Brummels '66. He also played on the band's single, "One Too Many Mornings", a Bob Dylan cover. John Petersen recalled, "Don Irving was really cool. He played all of Ron Elliott's licks perfectly. By then we had three albums and we were still a good draw but the vibes in the band weren't healthy. It was really strained. I would go out to Laurel Canyon and people weren't talking to each other. By the time we got sold to Warner Brothers, we weren't the same band anymore". Following that album's release, John Petersen left the band to join Harpers Bizarre.

Personal life
Petersen married Roberta Templeman, sister of Harpers Bizarre's Ted Templeman, in 1969. Roberta Templeman became a vice president at Warner Bros. Records in the 1980s. Petersen died from a heart attack on November 11, 2007, at the age of 62. Roberta died at age 74 on August 15, 2019, after battling dementia.

Julien Arpels (1884 – April 8, 1964) was a French American businessman who was the heir to the luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. He served as president of the firm during the early 20th century and was responsible for its international expansion.

Biography 
Arpels was born in Marseille, France. He was the son of Leon Salomon Arpels, who founded Van Cleef & Arpels with his son-in-law, Alfred Van Cleef, who was a Dutch diamond-cutter.

After his father's death, Arpels joined his brother, Charles Arpels, and Van Cleef to open a boutique store at 22 Place Vendome, in Paris.

During the 1920s, American tourists urged the firm to open a New York branch, and Julien was tasked with opening a store in New York City. Its first New York location opened on, and closed soon after, October 24, 1929, the day of the Wall Street crash. Nonetheless, it reopened with much success after participating in the 1939 World's fair in New York, and the store moved from a small showroom in Rockefeller Center to its present location at 744 Fifth Avenue in the 1940s.

With the outbreak of World War II, Julien and his family were forced to leave Europe because of their Jewish lineage. Julien also sent his son, Claude, to Harvard University so that he would be better prepared to deal with the American clientele.

At the firm, Arpels was in charge of the business and managerial end of the firm, while his brother, Louis Arpels, was in charge of sales. His children, Claude, Jacques and Pierre joined the company's operations during the 1930s and took over its operations. Claude headed the jeweler's American operations, while Jacques Arpels became the chief executive.

In 1945, he received the Legion of Honour in Washington, D.C. from French Ambassador Henri Bonnet.

On April 8, 1964, Arpels died in his apartment at the Hampshire House. He was 79 years old.

A Million Voices (AMV) is a non-profit charity organisation based in Arendal, Norway, but operating in Manila, Philippines. The organisation, founded in December 2007 by then 21-year-old student Charlotte Isabel Johansen, is a non-governmental organisation (NGO), and receives no subsidies from any governments or political parties. It is dependent on donations from individuals and businesses, and the help of volunteers for its projects.

Goals and vision 

A Million Voices' vision is "Giving a Voice to the Millions Silenced by Poverty". More concise, the organisation focuses on helping children from poor families, or homeless children in Manila. Instead of giving away money, the organisation hands out food, school supplies, clothes, health care and dental care. AMV offers a scholarship program, where donors fund one year of school for a child - which includes everything a child would need for the year. Other projects aims at self-help by teaching people a livelihood, in which they can support their families without relying on charity.

Collaborators 

AMV is collaborating with the Vizcarra Medical Clinic, Manila, for providing medical and dental services to AMVs beneficiaries. 

For many of AMVs projects it collaborates with Volunteer Professionals (VP) also situated in Manila. VP provides the AMV beneficiaries with teaching and livelihood training.

At 26 January 2012 A Million Voices signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Philippine Normal University through the Center for Teaching and Learning (PNU-CTL). This agreement ensure a 3-year collaboration to promote academical growth of the beneficiaries of the foundations projects.

AMV in the media 

 In January 2009 Civil Military Operations Battalion wrote an article in their newsletter Balitaan Sa Barangay about AMV where AMV received a plaque of appreciation.
 28 December 2009, the Norwegian Newspaper Agderposten wrote an article about AMV Christmas party held at 12 December 2009 for 54 children and their families in Manila.
 At 15 June 2011, Agderposten wrote an article about AMVs founder, Charlotte Isabel Johansen, and other AMV volunteers working at the Norwegian music festival Hove Festival to raise money for the projects in Manila.

Allocasuarina hystricosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is a dioecious shrub with more or less erect branchlets, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of ten to twelve, the fruiting cones  long containing winged seeds (samaras)  long.

Description
Allocasuarina hystricosa is a dioecious shrub that typically grows to a height of up to . Its branchlets are more or less erect, up to  long and slightly scaly, the leaves reduced to erect, scale-like teeth  long, arranged in whorls of ten to twelve around the branchlets. The sections of branchlet between the leaf whorls (the "articles") are mostly  long and  wide. Male flowers are arranged in sessile spikes  long on older branchlets, the anthers  long. Female cones are sessile and usually oblong to elliptic in outline,  long and  wide when mature. Male flowers have been observed in February and female flowers in February, April, June and December, and the samaras are reddish-brown to brownish-black and  long. This sheoak is similar to A. scleroclada, but that species has drooping branchlets and slightly longer articles and teeth.

Taxonomy
Allocasuarina hystericosa was first formally described in 2007 by Juliet Wege in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected east of Ravensthorpe in 2007. The specific epithet, (anfractuosa) means "sinuous", referring to the branchlets. The specific epithet (hystricosa) means prickly or thorny, with reference to the spiny protuberances on the cones.

Distribution and habitat
The species grows in mallee shrubland or heath, in association with Acacia ophiolithica, Hakea verrucosa and Allocasuarina campestris. It also forms small dense stands, sometimes with Melaleuca pauperiflora and Gahnia lanigera. It occurs on plains, slopes and hilltops in small populations between Bendalup Hill and the Eyre Range north-east of Ravensthorpe in the Esperance Plains bioregion of southern Western Australia.

Conservation status
Allocasuarina hystricosa is listed as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is rare or near threatened.

Waste compaction is the process of compacting  waste, reducing it in size. Garbage compactors and waste collection vehicles compress waste so that more of it can be stored in the same space. Waste is compacted again, more thoroughly, at the landfill to conserve valuable airspace and to extend the landfill's life span.

Consumer and post-collection compaction
Pre-landfill waste compaction is often beneficial, both for people disposing of waste and the company collecting it. This is because waste collection companies frequently charge by volume or require use of standard-volume containers, and compaction allows more waste to fit in the same space. Trash compactors are available for both residential and commercial use. Compacting garbage after it is collected allows more waste to fit inside the collection vehicle, meaning fewer trips to a dump or transfer station are required. The collection company also incurs lower landfill fees, if the landfill charges by volume.

Landfill compaction

A landfill compaction vehicle has two main functions: to spread the waste evenly in layers over the landfill, and to compact waste to reduce its volume and help stabilize the landfill. Proper waste compacting includes the process of using a steel wheeled/drum landfill compactor to shred, tear and press together various items in the waste stream so they consume a minimal volume of landfill airspace. The higher the compaction rate, the more trash the landfill can receive and store. This will also reduce landslides, cave-ins and minimize the risk of explosions of landfill gas (see landfill gas migration).

Main compaction is produced by the landfill compactors steel tooth on the wheel drums. Special teeth can penetrate the waste and deliver a focused compression point, providing compaction and increased density. Ground pressure of the tooth can exceed over  (PSI). The design of the machine and more importantly the wheels and the teeth is very critical in compaction. Power transmission from engine to the wheel drums is another key factor in compactors, depending on the application and size of the landfill the correct machine size and configuration should be selected.

Advantages and disadvantages 
Loose, non-compacted trash occupies up to 20 times more dumpster space than compacted waste. Waste haulage costs are reduced by fewer or smaller dumpsters, and dumpster pickup frequency can be reduced by 50 percent.
A side effect of waste compaction is that important items, like evidence in a crime, may be difficult to recover from the garbage. Due to reduced oxygenation, biodegradation of organic waste is also slowed.

The FAI Cup 1924–25 was the fourth edition of Ireland's premier cup competition, The Football Association of Ireland Challenge Cup or FAI Cup. The tournament began on 3 January 1925 and concluded on 17 March with the final held at Dalymount Park, Dublin. An official attendance of 23,000 people packed the stadium to capacity as record holders Shamrock Rovers defeated Ringsend rivals Shelbourne to claim their first title.

Notes
A.  From 1923 to 1936, the FAI Cup was known as the Free State Cup.

B.  Attendances were calculated using gate receipts which limited their accuracy as a large proportion of people, particularly children, attended football matches in Ireland throughout the 20th century for free by a number of means. However, in this instance of a capacity crowd and the closure of the gates fifteen minutes before kick-off, this practice might not have been as common as usual.

Exegesis in Zoroastrianism is principally defined as the interpretation of Avesta, the Zoroastrian religious book. The Zend, an explanation of Avesta which is written in Pahlavi language and the other old texts related to Zoroastrian exegesis have no Avestan word. The religious legal textbooks like Vendidad, Neyrangistan, Hirbodistan, Hadokht Nask and Visperad are also interpretations of Avesta.
