The Kresge Block is a historic commercial building at 241-249 Water Street in downtown Augusta, Maine.  Built in 1932 to house a department store, it is a distinctive and rare local example of commercial Moderne architecture.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Description and history
The Kresge Block is located on the east side of Water Street, Augusta's principal commercial thoroughfare, a bit south of the center of the block between Bridge and Front Streets.  It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of brick and granite.  The ground floor has two storefronts with a building entrance at the far left, sheltered by a decorative bronze hood. The lower half of the ground floor has polished granite below the glass display windows, and rising partway up the outer edge of the facade.  The windows are framed by bronze trim, which also surrounds the store label above an awning sheltering the storefronts.  The sign reads "Stacy's" using Art Deco styling.  The second floor has paired sash windows, each with individual awnings, but shared stone sills and brick headers topped by a stone sill.  The window pairs are separated by stylized pilasters.  A parapet with a multicolor crosshatch brick pattern extends across the building above the second floor.

The block was built in 1932, replacing an Italianate building that was a virtual replica of its neighbors.  It originally housed S.S. Kresge's, a department store, on the ground floor, with professional offices on the second floor.  Since its construction, it has been one of downtown Augusta's most architecturally unusual buildings.

In December 2017, NASA released a mission concept involving the launch, in 2069, of an interstellar probe to search for signs of life on planets orbiting stars in and around the Alpha Centauri system. The announcement was at the annual conference of the American Geophysical Union The mission (proposed in May 2016) remains a concept, and as such, has no name or allocated funding.

A preliminary mission outline suggests the use of solar sails propelled by high energy lasers to increase propulsion. The proposed launch would be on the 100th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission.
The spacecraft will reach Alpha Centauri by the year 2113, 44 years after its launch travelling at 10% of the speed of light.

Donna Jodhan is best known for her involvement in a Canadian Supreme Court case whose verdict compelled the Canadian Government to make all of their websites accessible. On November 29, 2010 the Federal Court of Canada released a landmark decision concerning the right of Canadians with disabilities to access government websites.

The disability community was disappointed when the Federal Government took the case to the Federal Court of Appeal.  On May 30, 2012 the case between the Attorney General of Canada and Donna Jodhan and the Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians was upheld by the Supreme Court.

She was represented by David Baker who successfully leveraged the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human Rights Code to see that accessibility is part of the Government of Canada's tendering process

Jodhan is one of the first blind people in Canada to earn an MBA.

She is the president of Barrier-Free Canada which works to strengthen Canadian federal accessibility laws like the Accessible Canada Act and the AODA.

Alexander (I) Mavrocordatos (; 1742 – 27 March 1812), nicknamed Delibey for his cunning, was a Phanariote who served as Prince of Moldavia from 1782 to 1785.

Life 
Son of Constantine Mavrocordatos and Catherine Rosetti, he succeeded in May 1782 to Constantine Mourouzis, deposed by the Sublime Porte following the intrigues of the Russian ambassador in Constantinople. He owes his appointment to this same ambassador.

Mavrocordatos was dismissed in January 1785 at the request of Rajtschewitsch, consul of Austria in Moldavia, who complained to the Ottoman government to have been badly received by Mavrocordatos, despite being the representative of the Holy Roman Emperor. But it is possible that in fact this is only one aspect of the Austro-Russian struggle for influence in Moldavia: the Habsburgs already had occupied Bukovina since 1775, and the Russian czars coveted the Budjak and the mouths of the Danube, and each Empire advanced its pawns in the region.

According to Alexandre A.C. Sturdza, Mavrocordatos was known for his "versatility and difficult character" which gave rise to his Turkish nickname "Delibey".

The Vancouver Daily World (also known as The Vancouver World or simply The World) was a newspaper once published in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was founded in 1888 by John McLagan, the editor of the paper. In 1901, when John McLagan died, his widow, Sara Anne McLagan, became the first woman publisher of a daily newspaper in Canada. She also became managing editor, editorial writer, proof reader and an occasional reporter.

In 1905, L. D. Taylor, along with other interest parties, bought The Vancouver World newspaper. Taylor transformed the paper from a small twelve-page daily to a modern newspaper which eventually grew in circulation to challenge The Province.

Construction of The Daily World's headquarters, The World Building (later renamed The Sun Tower), was completed in 1912. The building was designed to be seen throughout the newspaper's circulation area and was the tallest building in the British Empire at the time of completion.

The World, as well as Taylor, would later suffer financial difficulty. In 1924, The Vancouver Sun bought The Vancouver World.

Hedges Pond is a  pond in the Cedarville section of Plymouth, Massachusetts with access from Hedges Pond Rd. The pond is located more than one mile (1.6 km) north of Cedarville's business district past the Route 3 underpass, southeast of Black Jimmy Pond (Hyles Pond), and east of Little Herring Pond. Hedges Pond has no private residences on its shores.

Camp Dennen once occupied the eastern shore of the pond. The  camp, formerly owned by The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts was acquired by the Town of Plymouth with Community Preservation Act Funds along with  of land along the western shore of the pond in 2008. After studying the best way to provide recreational uses,
the town opened Hedges Pond Recreational Area and Preserve on July 16, 2011, having completed phase 1 which includes a lifeguarded sandy beach, a bathhouse, picnic areas, a small playground and walking trails. There will also be an area for launching small non-motorized boats.

Further development is expected to provide tennis, basketball, open fields, extended beaches and picnic areas, and more extensive trails. Rehabilitation of five existing cabins is expected to enable overnight stays to accommodate a revenue-generating eight-week summer day camp. During the weeks that the day camp is in operation the park would only be open to the public on weekends.

Hedges Pond was named after an American Indian, Will Hedge, the original owner of the town site.

Mata-kantiga (from old Portuguese, literally meaning, “kill the song”) is a Malay genre of music of Portuguese origin, very similar to other Portuguese folk music, like the Desgarrada (Portugal), to Repente, Cururu and Trova (Brazil).

Cultivated mainly in the area of Malacca (in Malaysia), it's a type of song where a man and a woman change improvised verses, divided generally in three types: romantic (cantigas de amigo, Portuguese for "songs of friendship"), mock (cantigas de mal dizer, Portuguese for "songs of ill-saying") and miscellaneous.

In the old days, some couples participated in sung duels and each partner used different verses mata-kantiga to seduce or to mock the other while the remaining hearing audience danced another sort of Malay music, also of Portuguese origin, called Branyo.

Mata-kantiga was accompanied by the violin, rebana (small tambourine) and drum (of double face, Portuguese style). Currently in disuse, its last great exponent was the singer and poet Rosil de Costa, deceased in 1986.

A very similar sort of music genre, also of Portuguese influence and from the same region, called Dondang Sayang predominates nowadays.

Brothers-Valleys were a rugby league team formed from a merger between the Brothers and Fortitude Valley Diehards teams in 2002. The team debuted in a pre-season match against St George-Illawarra in 2002, and for the next two seasons competed in the Brisbane A Grade Mixwell Cup and Mixwell Colts competitions, playing out of Perry Park in Mayne, Brisbane. In 2004 they moved to O'Callaghan Park in Zillmere and were accepted into the Queensland Cup, but in a year of poor performances both on and off the field they failed to win a single game and only managed a draw against the Souths Logan Magpies.

On 22 November 2004 the Queensland Rugby League announced that:
The only club not participating in 2005 will be Brothers Valleys Diehards. While the QRL acknowledges the rich history associated with the organisation, the club’s inability to meet specified guidelines has resulted in this situation. Avenues remain open for the club to apply to be part of lower grade competitions in the South East Division.

Propynyl (4-propynyloxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug.  It is closely related in structure to mescaline. Propynyl was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PiHKAL, the minimum dosage is listed as 80 mg, and the duration listed as 8–12 hours. Propynyl produces a body load and few to no mental effects. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of propynyl.

The Politics of Abruzzo (Abruzzo, Italy) takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democracy, whereby the President of Regional Government is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the Regional Government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Regional Council.

Executive branch
The Regional Government (Giunta Regionale) is presided by the President of the Region (Presidente della Regione), who is elected for a five-year term, and is composed by the President and the Ministers (Assessori), who are currently 8, including a Vice President (Vicepresidente) and an undersecretary (Sottosegretario).

List of presidents

Legislative branch

The Regional Council of Abruzzo (Consiglio Regionale dell'Abruzzo) is composed of 40 members. 32 councillors are elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation using the largest remainder method with a Droop quota and open lists, while 8 councillors (elected in bloc) come from a "regional list", including the President-elect. One seat is reserved for the candidate who comes second. If a coalition wins more than 50% of the total seats in the council with PR, only 4 candidates from the regional list will be chosen and the number of those elected in provincial constituencies will be 36. If the winning coalition receives less than 40% of votes, special seats are added to the council to ensure a large majority for the President's coalition.

The council is elected for a five-year term, but, if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, under the simul stabunt, simul cadent clause introduced in 1999 (literally they will stand together or they will fall together), also the council is dissolved and a snap election is called.

Glenn Springs is an uninhabited place in the state of Texas, United States, which is of historical importance. The Glenn Springs area was a natural spring providing water for Apache and Kiowa routing the Grand Indian Crossing passage at Boquillas. The Comanche tribes beseech the fresh water crossing on the Comanche Trail during their equine incursions from and to the Mexican Plateau, Sierra Madre Oriental, and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt regions of Mexico.

The rural settlement is located 11 miles (16 kilometers) south-southeast of the Panther Junction visitor center in what is now the Big Bend National Park, and is accessible only by high-clearance vehicle. The National Park Service maintains a back-country campground at Glenn Springs.

Military occupation
Glenn Springs was a military encampment, which was attacked by the troops of the Mexican General Pancho Villa on 5 May 1916, killing one civilian, three U.S. Army soldiers, and wounding several other troops. The Glenn Springs Raid came 57 days after the famous attack on Columbus, New Mexico.

Wax Camp
During the Spanish Texas era, candelilla was harvested in the Big Bend and Chisos Mountains region of the Trans-Pecos. The wax plant provided a malleable solid for candles used by the Spanish missions in Texas fulfilling the Franciscan and Jesuit orders.

In 1914, W.K. Ellis and C.D. Wood established a wax factory on the embankment of Glenn Springs employing a population in the mountainous Chihuahuan Desert region. By 1916, the candelillero factory consisted of a boiler room with tall smoke stacks, six large extraction vats, and a water storage system for the production of candelilla wax.

Jerzy Adolf Wostal (6 December 1914– 1991) was a Polish association football player, one of the best forwards of interwar Poland. He was born in 1914 in Königshütte (later Chorzów).

In the late 1930s Wostal played for AKS Chorzów. The best year in his career was 1937. His team then became vice-champions of Poland (after Cracovia), and he was the top scorer of the Polish Football League, with 12 goals.

On the Poland national team he played in 10 games, scoring 4 goals. Wostal’s debut took place on 6 September 1936, in Riga (Latvia – Poland 3–3). He was also part of Poland's squad at the 1936 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches. One of the best matches in his career occurred on 10 October 1937 in Warsaw. In a 1938 FIFA World Cup qualifier Poland beat Yugoslavia 4–0 and Wostal scored one of the goals.

Unfortunately, due to injury, he was unable to take part in Poland’s legendary 1938’s World Cup match vs. Brazil (5–6). Instead of him, coach/manager Józef Kałuża fielded Fryderyk Scherfke. Wostal’s last game in the white-red jersey took place on 27 May 1939 in Łódź (Poland – Belgium 3–3).

Little is known about Wostal's whereabouts during and after World War II. He signed the German Nationality List (Volksliste) and changed the name to Georg Wostal. Some time between 1940–1944 played in the team of Vorwärts-Rasensport Gleiwitz (Gliwice), which was one of the best sides of Upper Silesia in those years, winning the Silesian championship for several times. Then, after 1945, his fate is unknown other than he died in 1991.
