Cost of Living is a progressive rock album released in 1983 by British keyboard player Rick Wakeman. Actor Robert Powell provided narration on the last track of the album.

The track on the album called "Gone But Not Forgotten" was played at a memorial service for Countdown host Richard Whiteley shortly after his death. The voice at the very start of "Bedtime Stories" is that of Rick Wakeman's son (Benjamin). He was just 3 years old at the time of the recording.

Rick's Perspective
Notes
"Another nearly album. It has too much variation within the music for me to be really happy about it and again I ended up in a studio that I really didn't like that was picked by the record company at the time and so I couldn't change. There's a mixture of great playing and some very poor playing as well. Most disappointing is the piano sound as the piano in the studio was cheap and nasty. There are a couple of classic tracks on the album though such as Happening Man which I would love to re-record one day."

The C.H. Parsons Company was a regional department store chain headquartered in Ashland, Kentucky.  Touted as "Eastern Kentucky's finest store", it served the entire eastern portion of the state from its large five-story "flagship" location on U.S. Routes 23 and 60, major regional arteries, in downtown Ashland.  It was also known locally for its lavish seasonal window displays on the ground floor of the store.

Parsons operated a smaller second location in Morehead, Kentucky, for many years.  In the early 1970s, Parson's continued with long-time growth when it acquired an adjacent storefront, which had previously been the Capital Theater, and reopened it as Parson's Men Store.  On the left side of the men's store was Parson's Furniture, which is still in operation today under different ownership, many years after its parent company's demise.  When a seven-story parking garage was built on the back side of the city block in 1976, a "catwalk" was built connecting the Parson's store to the parking structure for the convenience of its customers who got free parking vouchers with any purchase.  Parson's carried only the latest fashions for men, women, and children of all ages, along with shoes, toys, fur coats, and premium household furnishings.

In 1994, the building became the Kentucky Highlands Museum.  Parsons Furniture has started mailing notices to customers that its furniture store will be closing.  As of late 2013, the store is no longer open for business.

Cesare Magati or Caesar Magatus (14 July 1577 – 9 September 1647) was an Italian physician and professor of medicine. He is known chiefly from his book De rara medicatione Vulnerum (1616) where he promoted the idea of natural processes in wound healing. In 1618 he joined the Capuchin Order and the next year he took on the name of Padre Liberato da Scandiano.

Life and work 
Magati was born in Scandiano, Reggio Emilia, in the landed family of Giorgio and Laura Mattacoda. A brother, Giovanni Battista, became a physician while a sister became the grandmother of Antonio Vallisneri. He studied at Pauda and from 1596, medicine at the University of Bologna. Graduating in 1597 he worked at the Hospital of Santa Maria della Consolazione in Rome. He was influenced by the teachings of Flaminio Rota, Giulio Cesare Claudini, and Giovanni Battista Cortese. He then took the exam of the College of Physicians and became a surgeon at the Hospital of Santa Anna. He then returned to Scandiano and around 1612, through the influence of Marquis Enzio Bentivoglio, he became a lecturer in surgery at Ferrara. In 1618 he became very ill and gave up teaching. He joined the Capuchin order as a lay brother in 1618 and took his vows in Ravenna the next year, and going by the name of Padre Liberato da Scandiano. He continued to practice medicine for the House of Este.

In 1647 Magati was operated on for gall-stones at Bologna but he died three days after the surgery.

Magati's major contribution was in wound hygiene and healing. He went against the contemporary practice of frequent change in dressing and the use of ointments. He instead suggested that natural processed played a key role in healing and that these processes needed to be aided. For this he is remembered as a fundamental reformer of surgery. The principles outlined by Magati in his De rara medicatione vulnerum excited a great deal of debate: they were confirmed by the renowned physician Ludovico Settala (1552–1633) but were challenged mostly by Daniel Sennert.

Etta Belle Lloyd (1860 – January 6, 1929) was one of the most prominent and influential figures in the civic life of Pacific Grove, California.

Early life
Etta Belle Lloyd was born in Utica, New York, in 1860, the daughter of David W. Lloyd (1831-1891), a merchant and hotel owner, and Elizabeth F. Roberts (d. 1902). She moved to California with the family when she was six months old and they were pioneers of the Monterey County. They moved to Pacific Grove, California, in 1887 where Davide Lloyd was the first permanent resident and merchant.

She attended the State Normal School at San Jose, California, where she met fellow student Emily Williams, long-lasting friend, and taught school at Salinas, California.

Career
She was one of the most prominent and influential figures in the civic life of the city: she supported the movement to keep the theaters closed on Sunday and worked for the new street paving for Lighthouse and Central avenue. She was a member of the official board of the Methodist Episcopal church. She organized the Pacific Grove Musical Society, was one of founding  members of the Pacific Grove Woman's Civic Club and was secretary and director of the city museum. Since 1891 she was a member of the Rebekahs.

She was state president of the Chautauqua alumni.  She was a public speaker and wrote many articles for the press.  She was an assistant to her father in carrying on his business at Pacific Grove and after his death she managed the Lloyd estate.

Personal life
She was a benefactor of architect Emily Williams, to whom she gave two public commissions in Pacific Grove.  The first, in 1907, was from the Woman's Civic Club to design a public "Look-Out" on a rocky promontory in the Pacific Ocean called Lovers Point. In early 1908, she lent $300 to Williams to allow her to buy a property at 218 and 220 Chestnut, Pacific Grove, where Williams built two houses, for her and her partner, Lillian McNeill Palmer. The property originally was owned by Lucy Washburn, a teacher at the San Jose Normal School that both Lloyd and Palmer had attended; later in 1910 Washburn later moved to a house at 215 Alder. The second commission from Lloyd to Williams, in 1910, was to remodel two large wooden cabins into an attractive club house for the Woman's Civic Club. Lloyd leased a building from the Natural History Museum at 172 Grand Avenue and other two building were donated by the Pacific Improvement Company. At the opening ceremony it was said that Lloyd and Williams "had presented [...] with two shells and [...] they have converted them into a beautiful home for themselves."

Etta Belle Lloyd died on January 6, 1929, at Pacific Grove, and is buried at El Carmelo Cemetery.

Southern Uzbek, also known as Afghan Uzbek, is the southern variant of the Uzbek language, spoken chiefly in Afghanistan with up to 6 million speakers. It uses the Perso-Arabic writing system in contrast to the language variant of Uzbekistan.

Southern Uzbek is intelligible with the Northern Uzbek spoken in Uzbekistan to a certain degree. However it has differences in grammar and also many more loan words from Afghan Persian (in which many Southern Uzbek speakers are proficient).

Southern Uzbek Alphabet 

Southern Uzbek is written using the Perso-Arabic writing system called Arab Yozuv ("Arab Script"). The writing system is for the most part identical to Persian alphabet, with 3 additional letters. These include two vowels,  "اۉ / ۉ" and "اې / ې", which are meant to represent the sounds represented in Uzbek Latin Script with "E e" and "Oʻ oʻ". The alphabet also includes a combined consonant letter "نگ", formerly (and currently in writing systems such as Uyghur) shown with the letter "ڭ". This letter represents the sound /ŋ/, and represented in the Latin writing system with "-ng". This letter makes the Voiced velar nasal sound, where in English one can for example hear when pronouncing the word "wingman".

Uzbek has 6 vowels, and it has lost its vowel harmony rules, unlike other Turkic languages.

Other than the additional combined letter "نگ / -ng", the consonants of Uzbek Arabic Alphabet are identical to that of Persian. Thus, there indeed is a case of various letters representing the same sound, as is the case in Persian. But the letters "ث، ح، ذ، ژ، ص، ض، ط، ظ، ع" are not used for writing of native Uzbek words. They're solely used for writing of loanwords from Arabic, Persian, or any of the European languages.

Lubeluzole (Prosynap) is a drug which acts as an indirect NMDA antagonist. It inhibits the release of glutamate, inhibits nitric oxide synthesis, and blocks calcium and sodium gated ion channels. It has neuroprotective effects particularly in hypoxic conditions, and was developed for the treatment of stroke. Trials showed it to be safe, effective and well tolerated at low doses, but unfortunately higher doses produced the dangerous cardiac side effect of lengthening the QTc interval, which could potentially lead to heart failure, and so this meant that subsequent trials were limited to using only the low dose range. Animal studies had shown lubeluzole to produce neuroprotective effects when administered for prolonged periods, but the aim of its developers was to produce a drug that would be effective for preventing damage from acute stroke, and so ultimately it failed to show sufficient efficacy in trials and development for medical use was halted.

Ritual is the third studio album from electronic rock band Jape, released on Co-op Records in 2008. It won the Choice Music Prize for the 2008 Irish Album of the Year in March 2009.

A video for the song "Graveyard", which was filmed in an actual graveyard in Dublin, was released in May 2008 prior to the release of the album. The album features the singles "I Was a Man", "Strike Me Down" and "Phil Lynott", which was subject to an unsuccessful petition by fans to have it named the Christmas number one in Ireland in December 2008. 
When squinted at, the cover album art reveals a skull.

The Irish Independents John Meagher named Ritual his twentieth best Irish album of the 2000s.

Track listing 
Ritual featured ten tracks, including "Streetwise", "Graveyard" and "Strike Me Down", all of which had previously been performed live. The album was preceded by the single "I Was a Man". "Strike Me Down" was later released as a single.

Awards 
The nomination of Ritual for the Choice Music Prize was announced on 14 January 2009. Ritual'''s victory was announced at a live ceremony held at Vicar Street, Dublin on 4 March 2009. The prize included a cheque for €10,000, jointly provided by the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO) and the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA), and a specially commissioned award. Frontman Richie Egan joked about a rival nominee by saying: "They all deserve the award -- sure my mother even told me that Mick Flannery (nominated for his album White Lies) was going to win, she said you're good, Richie, but he's gorgeous". The award was decided by a secret ballot after the twelve judges, who included Today FM presenter Ian Dempsey, decided that the decision was proving difficult due to a closeness in voting. Jape was amongst six of the nominees who performed at the event, with a three-song set featuring earlier in proceedings. Upon the victory, Egan posted a message of thanks via Twitter: "Hah I won. Ten g's in the bank.. Big love and thanks for all good will x".

Isaac ben Baruch Albalia (, Yiṣḥaq ben Barukh Albalia) 
(1035, Cordova – 1094, Granada) was an Andalusian Jewish mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and Talmudist.

Biography
First educated by a Jew from Perigord, Albalia went on to the academy in Lucena, where he struck up a close friendship with Me'ir ibn Migash, father of Joseph ibn Migash, and then settled in Granada. When barely thirty years old Albalia began to write Kupat ha-Rokhlim ("The Peddler's Basket"), a commentary on the Talmud. He was a close friend of Samuel ha-Nagid, whose son Jehoseph ha-Nagid became Albalia's patron, to whom he dedicated his 1065 astronomical work Maḥberet Sod ha-Ibbur ("The Secret of Intercalation"), on the principles of the Jewish calendar. According to Moses ibn Ezra, Albalia was also a poet and rhetorician.

After the murder of Jehoseph ha-Nagid in the 1066 Granada massacre, Albalia fled to Cordova, where he became acquainted with then-prince Al-Mu'tamid ibn Abbad. When he ascended the throne of Seville in May 1069, Al-Mu'tamid appointed Albalia court astronomer and astrologer. At the age of thirty-one, just three years after he arrived in Seville, he was appointed leader (nasi) of the kingdom's Jewish community. Continuing as a palace official for twenty years, Albalia used his influence at court to improve the status of the Jews of the kingdom.

When in 1089 the recently arrived Almoravids imposed a purge of Jewish civil servants at the court of Seville, Albalia moved to Granada, where he spent the last five years of his life. Although he had strong disagreements with Isaac Alfasi, before his death he asked his son Baruch to go to Lucena and study with him. Alfasi adopted Baruch who eventually became a well-known scholar. Isaac Albalia was also the maternal grandfather of Abraham ibn Daud.

The Regent Hall is a Salvation Army centre on London's Oxford Street. It is one of the oldest centres in London  having been founded by the founder of the army, William Booth in 1882. The church is known as the "Rink", because it was formerly a skating rink.

The hall is known for its music, both for its own brass band which tours internationally, its high standard choral music, and as a venue for visiting artists.

The present officers are Majors Richard and Caroline Mingay, who succeeded Major Dawn and Major Graham Mizon in 2017.

Facilities 
Booth bought the building on Oxford Street in 1882. Since then, 'The Rink' has had many major internal improvements, most recently in the summers of 2015 to 2017.

The main auditorium seats approximately 550, with a stage area that can accommodate an orchestra of around 50 to 60 members.
