is a mountain god, spirit, and yōkai in Japanese folklore. Literally translated, "yamabiko" means "echo". It is the yōkai responsible for the natural phenomenon in mountains or canyons. Living deep in the mountains, direct encounters with the yamabiko are rare. Often they are heard, but never seen. The small and elusive yokai wasn't officially classified until the Edo period in Japan. Instead the bizarre noises coming from the mountain were attributed to a natural phenomenon, like birds, and not given any spiritual significance. It is usually depicted with gray fur, peach-colored belly, floppy ears, large grin, and arms outstretched as though it is caught mid-shrug.

Mythology
The yamabiko is a small creature that resembles a cross between a dog and a monkey.

The term "yamabiko" is also used to describe the phenomenon of a delayed echo in mountains and valleys, and is thought to be the spirit answering. In this case, it is written as 幽谷響. This anomaly is also sometimes called "kodama", when it is thought to be the answering voice of a tree spirit (木霊 or 木魂).

Legends by area
In Tottori, Tottori Prefecture, a  or a  that lives in the mountain is thought to give out the yamabiko's voice. In Kusuyama of Hashikami village, Hata District, Kōchi Prefecture (now Sukumo), regardless of whether it was day or night, when a sudden dreadful voice is heard deep in the mountains, this strange phenomenon is called "yamahiko".

They are sometimes seen to be the same as the yamawaro, spoken of in Western Japan, as well as the yamako in the Wakan Sansai Zue, and as it is thought that tree spirits would cause yamabiko to occur, they are also seen to be the same as the yōkai penghou that lives in trees. In collections of yōkai depictions like the Hyakkai Zukan and the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, the yamabiko that looks like a dog is thought to be based on the yamako or the penghou.

The aforementioned yobukodori of Tottori is said to take on the appearance of a bird, and other than that, there is also a small rock mountain in Kitaazumi District, Nagano Prefecture called the "yamabiko rock"  that return people's words, among other appearances of the word "yamabiko", and thus it can be seen that the yamabiko as yōkai are not uniform in either origin or what kind of yōkai they are.

The Aviation Weather Center (AWC) provides weather information and forecasts for air flights over United States territory and at certain altitudes for global traffic. It works with customers, such as commercial airlines, and international partners to improve flight safety and efficiency. It is one of the components of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction of the National Weather Service (NWS) of the United States.

Responsibilities and Products 

Each local NWS office issues Terminal aerodrome forecasts (TAFs) for airports under its area of responsibility. These forecasts are only valid for 10 nautical miles (18.5 km) around the airfield.

AWC forecasts, in text and chart, conditions over all of the continental United States from the surface to over 20 km altitude (Aviation Area forecast). These include freezing level, icing, wind and turbulence levels, cloudy areas and thunderstorms at various altitudes. It does the same for high altitudes  around the world.

The AWC is also responsible for aviation warnings, such as AIRMETs and SIGMETs, for the United States, including its overseas territories, and northern portions of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is finally the center that issues forecasts for the displacement of volcanic ash and forest fire smoke plumes for the same territories.

The PAC Rugby Conference is a college rugby conference composed of four schools from the Pac-12 Conference that compete against each other in Division 1-A Rugby. It was formed in 2012 with six teams, with conference play beginning in February 2013 to compete in Division 1-AA. In 2016, PAC added USC and Stanford and dropped Oregon State, and moved up to D1-A. Despite only recently moving up from D1-AA affiliation, the PAC has historically been one of the strongest conferences in college rugby, with five of its members consistently ranked in the Top 25 overall. The PAC Rugby Conference began play on February 2, 2013, with Cal beating Arizona State at Witter Field in Berkeley.

History of rugby at PAC schools
Around the turn of the century, American football was frowned upon for its violence, and President Theodore Roosevelt insisted upon reform or abolition of the game.  During this period of uncertainty, rugby made a brief but important reappearance in many colleges, most notably at Cal and Stanford.  It was these two Universities that supplied most of the players to the two U.S. Olympic rugby teams that won gold medals at the 1920 Olympics and 1924 Olympics. PAC Rugby was shown on television for the first time in 2014, when the PAC 12 Network broadcast Cal vs UCLA.  Cal has long been one of the faces of rugby at the collegiate level.  In addition, excellence by teams such as UCLA and Arizona, as well as  recent growth by USC, have made the conference one of the toughest in the country.

The Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen or GBGV is a dog breed from France.

History
The Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen is derived from the Grand Griffon. The first selections were made at the end of the 19th century by the Comte d'Elva who was looking for subjects with "straight legs". But it was Paul Dézamy who was especially responsible for fixing the type. He had understood that in order to catch a hare, dogs of a certain size were needed. He fixed the size at about 43 cm. Today used primarily when hunting with a gun, it is capable of hunting all mammalian game, from the rabbit to the wild boar. A team of Grand Bassets won the fifth edition of the European Cup for hare. The GBGV is one of six types of "basset"-type breeds recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI).

Description

Appearance
Grand Basset Griffon Vendéens a long-backed, short-legged hunting breed of dog of the hound type, originating in the Vendée region of France. They are still used today to hunt boar, deer, and to track rabbit and hare, but are more commonly kept as a domestic pet.

Temperament
They are pack dogs, so owners should either spend a lot of time with them or get a second dog or a cat. They have a happy and confident personality, which can sometimes manifest itself as disobedience. With obedience training and patience, they can make great companions.

Health

Longevity
Average longevity of 76 deceased Basset Griffon Vendéens (varieties combined) in the 2004 UK Kennel Club survey was 12.1 years (maximum 17.3 years).  Leading causes of death were cancer (33%), old age (24%), and cardiac (7%).

Compared to surveyed longevities of other breeds of similar size, Basset Griffon Vendéens have a typical or somewhat higher than average life expectancy.

Among 289 live Basset Griffon Vendéens (varieties combined) in the 2004 UKC survey, the most common health issues noted by owners were reproductive, dermatologic (dermatitis and mites), and aural (otitis externa, excessive ear wax, and ear mites).

Christmastide Divination () is a painting by Russian artist Konstantin Makovsky from around 1905. The painting shows a moonlit Russian folk divination during Eastern Orthodox Christmastide (svyatki) in a rural log house (izba). Five out of seven depicted women gathered around a rooster pecking the grain, the alectryomancy which foretells a marriage in the near future. The girls count the grains pecked by the rooster, watching if he did not peck more than twelve. If the number of remaining grains would be even, then the marriage will happen soon, and if odd, then it will be in the next year. A sleeping elder woman is depicted sitting on a bench to the left. The upper left part of the painting shows a candlelit icon corner.

Nancy Cole is an educational psychologist and expert on educational assessment. Cole is past president of the American Educational Research Association and the Educational Testing Service (ETS), and former Dean of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She earned her Ph.D. in psychology from the University of North Carolina. Her undergraduate education in psychology was at Rice University (B.A., 1964).

Cole co-authored Gender and Fair Assessment (Willingham & Cole, 1997), which is regarded as the most extensive study ever completed on gender and educational assessment. The study analyzed data from more than 400 assessments of over 15 million students.

Criticism

In his book, "Uneducated Guesses", Howard Wainer refers to Cole's presidency of the ETS as "disastrous."
FairTest, the National Center for Fair and Open Testing reports  that during this period, ETS " ignored internal warnings about security problems in its computer adaptive Graduate Record Exam (GRE), according to documents recently made public in a U.S. district court...To protect its image and profits in the rush to introduce the new type of test into the marketplace, ETS also misled the New York State legislature about how the system actually worked...In fact, in her deposition, ETS President Nancy Cole admits it is now clear, in retrospect, that back in November of 1994, one or two good memorizers could have given a substantial advantage to a subsequent test-taker."

Dirc van Delf, sometimes anglicized Dirk of Delft (fl. c. 1365 – c. 1404), was a Dutch Dominican theologian.

Dirc was probably born at Delft in the County of Holland around 1365 and education from youth by the Dominicans in Utrecht. He earned a doctorate of theology. On 17 December 1391, he was hired as a chaplain at the court of Albert I, Duke of Bavaria and Count of Holland, in The Hague. He was a lecturer (magister) and regent (regens) of the universities of Erfurt and (from 1403) Cologne. The last record of a payment to Dirc from the duke is dated July 1404, and he was certainly not kept on after Albert's death in December 1404.

One of the most learned men of his time, Dirc wrote at least two books. The first, completed by 1401, is now lost. It was dedicated to Albert's wife, Margaret of Cleves, and is known only from a reference in the ducal accounts. The second, the Tafel van den Kersten Ghelove (Handbook of the Christian Faith), was begun around 1403 for Albert. It is an encyclopedia of scholastic theology written for a lay audience in the local vernacular, Middle Dutch. Its prose style is highly regarded. Two partial contemporary illuminated manuscripts made for Albert survive: Baltimore, Walters Art Gallery, MS W.171 and New York, Pierpont Morgan Library, MS M.691.

Dirc's main sources were Latin, the most important being Hugh Ripelin's 13th-century Compendium theologicae veritatis. The Tafel is divided into two parts: the Winterstuc (Winter Part) and the Somerstuc (Summer Part). The first concerns the Trinity, angelology, anthropology, demonology, hamartiology and the birth and ministry of Jesus. The second concerns the passion of Jesus, the hierarchy of angels, the works of mercy, the sacraments, the Antichrist, the four last things and Heaven. Between the sections on the sacraments is a hodge-podge of less theological topics. These include chapters on pagan virtues; on saint's lives taken from the Vitae Patrum (in Dutch, Vaderboec); on the election and coronation of the Holy Roman Emperor; on chess; on the Queen of Sheba. A morgenspraec (morning conversation) between Jesus and a sinner ends this section and leads into the section on the Antichrist.

Geddes () is a small village located 5 km to the south of Nairn, in the Highland council area of Scotland.

Geddes House
Geddes House was built by William Mackintosh who made a fortune in India and in 1822 the estate passed to second William Mackintosh who made further improvements and alterations.

Wildlife
The area's woods and open fields are home to many types of birds, including Buzzards and Eagles. One of the reasons the population is so high may be because the Forestry Commission and local farmers own most of the land. Unlike traditional estates, they have no interest in poisoning the local bird populations. The area also supports Deer, Fox, Badger and Mole populations. Some of the forested land is used for shooting and Pheasant breeding by private owners but is open to the public when not in use.

Employment
The village is located in a traditionally agricultural area surrounded by farming land. This may change as Nairn and Inverness expand possibly consuming the area with infill from the two towns. Most people of working age commute elsewhere to work but the Geddes Fishery employs a small number of local people. A high percentage of the people in the area are not of working age and are either retired or semi-retired.

Chapeaumelon is a French-Canadian band most notable for a cover of The Who's "My Generation" and their song "Nonchalant (Sofa)" used in the 2004 film Eurotrip and its soundtrack.

History
A few months after the band's genesis, Chapeaumelon won the Coup de Cœur prize at the Festival International de la chanson de Granby, Quebec. The following summer, the band held their second performance at the Les FrancoFolies de Montréal and earned the Coup de Cœur de l'Année.

The band was quickly taken under the wings of Jacques Dion and Michel Trudel's, who helped them to produce their first record at the prestigious Studios Piccolo (Daniel Bélanger, Céline Dion, Diane Dufresne, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Simple Plan, The Smashing Pumpkins,...) by the end of October 2002. Celine Dion's drummer Dominique Messier produced a few songs as well.  Backed by the Gillett entertainment company, they toured Ontario and Quebec.

Their songs climbed the charts quickly in both provinces but also in New Brunswick. The hit "L'Acheteur" became their first video which won the 2002 prize for best French video on "French Kiss", the Much Music television program. David Lahaye directed both this and the following video, "Sofa" or "Nonchalant". This record was extraordinarily well received and was filed under Le Devoir's 2003 top 10 best records.

Chapeaumelon was then honored to be dubbed one of Quebec's 10 people of the year by Les Incontournables TV show. They had the opportunity to open for well known acts such as Marc Déry, Sylvain Cossette, Blue Rodeo, The Tea Party (...) as well as being heard in popular series such as Las Vegas, Scooby-Doo and Ghost Whisperer.

Chapeaumelon wsd also invited to sing their hit "Victoire" at Celine Dion's 2003 record launch in Las Vegas.

In 2004, two of their songs are included in the American movie Eurotrip. "My Generation", the classic The Who's cover, being chosen as the opening credits theme.

After three years out of the spotlight, Chapeaumelon returned with a new rhythm section : Tarik Akbik on bass and Fredéric Tessier on drums, winning Richmond's Festirock contest in March 2008.  They then opened for Jonas at Sherbrooke's Canada day celebrations. Their latest release "Bonjour Bonsoir" was launched at last year's Francofolies, opening for Les BB and after winning yet another music contest at the Beloeil festival, the band opened for Marie-Chantal Toupin and Offenbach in August.

Also, their new song "Mademoiselle Éphémère" was on MTV's The Hills (Season 3-Episode 19) who incidentally broke audience records of 4.7 million viewers in the US alone.
