The Spaceborne Imaging Radar (SIR) – full name 'Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR)', is a synthetic aperture radar which flew on two separate shuttle missions. Once from the Space Shuttle Endeavour in April 1994 on (STS-59) and again in October 1994 on (STS-68). The radar was run by NASA's Space Radar Laboratory. SIR utilizes 3 radar frequencies: L band (24 cm wavelength), C band (6 cm) and X band (3 cm), allowing for study of geology, hydrology, ecology and oceanography. Comparing radar images to data collected by teams of people on the ground as well as aircraft and ships using simultaneous measurements of vegetation, soil moisture, sea state, snow and weather conditions during each flight. The imaging radar was able to take images anytime regardless of clouds cover. The Radar-C system was built and operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The mission was a joint work of NASA with the German and Italian space agencies. Each of the week long mission scanned about 50 million square kilometers of the Earth's surface, (19.3 million square miles).

The SIR mission revealed hidden river channels in the Sahara Desert indicating significant climate change in the past. SIR was also used for volcano research by keeping researchers a safe distance from hazardous and often inaccessible areas. The radar was also used to generate detailed three dimensional mappings of the Earth's surface.

Radar also found temples in Angkor, and ancient segments of China's Great Wall.

VS-PLUS is a control method for road intersection controlled by traffic lights. The traffic lights are connected to a controller where VS-PLUS runs as a separate process.

The software is best suited for traffic-actuated control of an intersection. In order to detect the traffic, a sufficient number of detectors must be connected to the controller. The detector signals are typically scanned 10 times per second.

The software is suited as well for implementing public transport priority systems.

VS-PLUS does not provide a programming environment but allows the traffic engineer to parametrize the control. It uses an abstraction model for the necessary parameters such as "desired priority" that can be set as a parameter. VS-PLUS supports the North American NEMA software standard for intersection control.

Due to the parametrization capabilities the software can communicate with central traffic computers and implement their current strategy by parameter changes. This enables re-coordination of a Green Wave still keeping the local optimizations.

During development and test of the parameters, the control can be simulated on a PC using a microscopic traffic simulator (as TSIS-CORSIM, TransModeler, VISSIM, Aimsun Next, or Paramics).

FOLFOXIRI is a chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. The role of FOLFOXIRI in colorectal cancer has been reviewed.

The chemotherapy regimen is made up of the following four drugs:

 FOL – folinic acid (leucovorin), a vitamin B derivative that modulates/potentiates/reduces the side effects of fluorouracil;
 F –   fluorouracil (5-FU), a pyrimidine analog and antimetabolite which incorporates into the DNA molecule and stops DNA synthesis;
 OX – oxaliplatin (Eloxatin), a platinum-based antineoplastic agent, which inhibits DNA repair and/or DNA synthesis;
 IRI – irinotecan (Camptosar), a topoisomerase inhibitor, prevents DNA from uncoiling and duplicating.

It is usually given with bevacizumab, unlike FOLFIRINOX for treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Also, the doses (Day 1: irinotecan 165 mg/m2 IV, plus oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV; Day 1: leucovorin 400 mg/m2; Days 1–3: fluorouracil 1,600 mg/m2/day × 2 days (total 3,200 mg/m2 over 48 hours) continuous infusion starting on day 1; Day 1: bevacizumab 5 mg/kg IV; repeat cycle every 2 weeks) are slightly dissimilar to  FOLFIRINOX.

Upfront FOLFOXIRI with bevacizumab can be followed by fluoropyrimidine with bevacizumab maintenance.

Nonduermas is a village and a district in Murcia, Spain. It is part of the municipality of Murcia.

Etymology 
Unlike other districts of the region (comarca) Huerta de Murcia and belonging to the municipality of Murcia, the Arab toponym of the territory did not persist.

This toponym has a previous historically Spanish variant origin (related to the Spanish language spoken in previous eras). 'Nonduermas' is composed by two words: the grammar negator word of a previous historically Spanish variant 'non' and the word 'duermas', which is the verb 'dormir' conjugated, and it means 'to sleep'. Therefore, this expression is negative imperative and it can be translated as 'Don't sleep' or 'Do not sleep'.

The reason for this district name is just hypothesized. One hypothesis is about the toponym to have its origins in the fact that a kind of neighbouring assembly medieval government named concejo, established that the meadows of the territory could be place for traffic for the local shepherds and the foreign shepherds must have been allowed for staying at the territory. Another action of the concejo related to the issue of those meadows was the instructions with the message that lighting camp fires was forbidden. Otherwise the shepherds would be fined. The consequences of that legal regulation and the fines would be the warning 'Non duermas' (Don't sleep). Other hypothesis is related to the danger in travelling through a path, so the locals used to warn the people who were intending to circulate through that path with the expression 'Non duermas'. A third hyphotesis establishes the origin of this toponym in the fact that a group of Christian knights were sent by the king James I of Aragon from Orihuela. They were attack by Muslim forces and the commander of the Christian party advertised this Christian knight group with the expression 'Non duermas'.

Geography 
The area of this district is approximately 2.755 km2 and its height is around 50 metres. There is a distance of 3 km from the village to the capital of the municipality (the city of Murcia).

History 
A farmstead whose name is Tel Açaguer or Tell Açegir is theorized to exist in the last half of the 13th century in this current district. In that era, large part of the Iberian Peninsula was governed by Muslim governments due to a Muslim conquer of the peninsula during the 8th century.

During the Trienio Liberal (1820-1823), an own local government was established in Non Duermas.

There was a constant population growth during the 20th century in this territory.

Festivities 

 Fiestas patronales (Patron saint festivities) in honour of the patroness saint de Cortes: This festivity is held on the first weeks of September. During these festive days some acts such as masses, triduums and flowers offerings to the Virgin are conducted. Other phenomena in this festive ambient are the choirs and the popular dances. There are also acts for young people such as hip hop performances and festive races. In rigard to the children, there are children theatre performances, amusement rides and a temporary outdoor cinema space avoidable for them.

USS Tanguingui (SP-126) was an armed motor yacht that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919.
 
Tanguingui was built as a civilian yacht in 1915 by the New York Yacht Launch and Engine Company at Morris Heights, New York. The U.S. Navy acquired Tanguingui under a free lease from her owner, Mr. J. C. McCoy of New York City, on 28 June 1917 for use as a patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned on 31 October 1917 as USS Tanguingui (SP-126).

Assigned to the 7th Naval District, Tanguingui operated out of Key West, Florida, patrolling along the extreme southern coast of Florida to prevent incursions by German submarines. Following the Armistice with Germany that ended the war on 11 November 1918, she continued to serve the Navy until her main battery, small arms, and ammunition were removed on 6 February 1919.

Tanguinguis name was stricken from the Navy List on 7 April 1919, and she was returned to her owner on 21 April 1919.

Russia has submitted films for the American Academy Award for Best International Feature Film since 1992. Prior to that, Russian SFSR-produced films formed the vast majority of motion pictures submitted by the former Soviet Union. The Foreign Language Film award is handed out annually by the U.S.-based Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue.

Each year, the Academy invites countries to submit their best films for competition, with only one film being accepted from each country. The Soviet Union received a total of nine nominations in the category between 1968–1984, including three winners – War and Peace, Dersu Uzala and Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. Eight of the nominees, including all three winners, were produced by Russian film studios. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, films representing the Russian Federation have had a further seven nominations, including one Oscar win for Burnt by the Sun.

Nikita Mikhalkov has been chosen to represent Russia five times. While The Barber of Siberia was disqualified when the print did not arrive in Los Angeles in time, three other films were nominated for an Oscar.

Submissions
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has invited the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1956. The Foreign Language Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films. Following this, they vote via secret ballot to determine the five nominees for the award. Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Russia for review by the Academy since 1992. All Russian submissions were filmed mostly in Russian.

Among the submissions were a horror film about vampires (2004), a Russian film dubbed into German (1999), a controversial anti-corruption film (2014) and a slew of historical dramas.

In 2022, Russia's Oscar Committee, headed by Pavel Chukhray, confirmed its intention to submit a film. However, days later, the Russian Film Academy announced they would not enter. Chukhray resigned in protest and said he was not consulted about the decision. Nikita Mikhalkov, alluding to the United States' reaction to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, had previously said, "The way I see it, choosing a film that will represent Russia in a country that, in fact, now denies the existence of Russia, is simply pointless."

Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust (CHUFT) was an NHS Foundation Trust which ran Colchester Hospital in Colchester, Essex.

In 2018, the trust merged with The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust to form East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.

Staff
In 2007/08 the Trust employed 3,383 people, 86% of them directly involved in patient care.

Hospital sites
The Trust's main acute hospital site, which was opened in 1985, is Colchester Hospital. The Trust also owns Essex County Hospital in Colchester, which was opened in 1820.  At Harwich and Clacton community hospitals, both managed by NHS North East Essex (the PCT), the Trust provides minor injury and outpatient services.

Performance

In 2009 the Chair of the Trust, Richard W. Bourne, was removed by Monitor because it was failing to meet clinical targets.

In November 2013 the Care Quality Commission reported that it had found discrepancies between the hospital's cancer waiting time records and the information contained in patients' individual medical records.  22 out of 61 records showed people had been put "at risk of receiving care that was unsafe or not effective, due to delays in receiving appointments or treatment".  In November 2013 the Trust was placed in special measures by Monitor. Gordon Coutts, the chief executive, who had been on sick leave announced on 18 December 2013 that he would not be returning to the post. After an investigation it was concluded that the inaccuracies the hospital's cancer waiting times figures were caused by managerial incompetence rather than bullying of staff.  In November 2017 it was taken out of special measures after it was rated good for whether services were effective, caring and well led. The children's transition team and neonatal unit were found to be outstanding.

In November 2014 the Trust declared a "major incident" following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission in which "safeguarding concerns" were raised. Interim chief executive Dr Lucy Moore said the focus was on "discharging patients."

The trust was one of 26 responsible for half of the national growth in patients waiting more than four hours in accident and emergency over the 2014/5 winter.

It spent 10.3% of its total turnover on agency staff in 2014/5.

It expects a deficit of £30 million for 2015/6.  In the last quarter of 2015 it had one of the worst performances of any hospital in England against the four hour waiting target.

How Men Propose is a 1913 American silent short comedy film, usually credited to Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley as directors and to Weber as writer and producer, although their definite authorship cannot be confirmed. The film has recently not been included in Weber's filmography by scholars, and the Library of Congress, while listing it as one of Weber's films notes that "the director is unknown, but may be Lois Weber." It was produced by the Crystal Film Company and distributed by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company.

Plot 
Three friends, without knowing it, successively propose to a woman named Grace Darling, all three receiving a photo from her as a sign of acceptance. Back at their shared apartment, the men proudly present the photos of what each of them thinks to be his future wife. Realizing that they have been duped, the men attempt to confront the woman who, in the meantime, has left her apartment, conveying through her maid a letter to each of them. The men learn that Grace Darling is a journalist writing an article on male courtship who has only been doing research on the question "how men propose".

Trivia 
How Men Propose is the earliest film with Margarita Fisher in a starring role that is available on DVD. The film and Fisher's performance in particular have been described as "a playful energetic assertion of female power in which Margarita [Fisher] shows herself to be a gifted actress, entirely familiar with the unique requirements of performing on film."

Midnight Killer () is a 1986 Italian  giallo film starring Valeria D'Obici and Leonardo Treviglio, and directed by Lamberto Bava.

Plot
A mysterious serial killer murders the wife of a police officer, and the officer is suspected of the murder. Anna, a criminologist who is investigating the case of the legendary "Midnight Ripper" (a sex maniac who died years earlier) believes the policeman is innocent and suspects that the Ripper is still alive.

Cast

Production
Midnight Killer was Lamberto Bava's second giallo film and was initially developed as a television film. Bava later stated he was uneasy making these types of films, stating that "I find doing scenes where women get stabbed to death repugnant. Dario Argento does it so well, but I feel sick as soon as I see the knife in the murderer's hand"

Release
Midnight Killer was released in 1986. It was released on home video in Denmark as You'll Die at Midnight and in France as Midnight Horror.

Reception
From retrospective reviews, Italian film critic and historian Roberto Curti declared the film as "drab and hardly engrossing, with only sequences set in a hotel standing by the sea standing out." Adrian Luther-Smith in his book Blood & Black Lace found the film to be "hardly a ground-breaking genre entry" while it still had enough style and imagery to make it a must-see for giallo regulars.
