Hit Stix is a toy electronic musical instrument manufactured by Nasta and Radio Shack in the 1980s. A set of Hit Stix consists of 2 drum sticks which are tethered to a small amplifier by audio cables. When the drum sticks are thrust forward in mid air, mimicking actual drum playing, a snare drum sound effect is produced. A rapid succession of thrusts produces a drum roll. It is a common misconception that Hit Stix are meant to be hit against another surface. In fact, the sounds are produced simply by the motion of drumming and do not need to come in contact with any surface in order to produce a sound. 

The Nasta company went public in 1987, and Hit Stix was its first television-advertised product. The Hit Stix instrument retailed for around $20 in 1987.

Hit Stix was succeeded by Hit Stix 2, which incorporates sound selection via sliders on each drum stick. The left stick adjusts the tone while the right selects either snare, tom, bass drum or phaser. The latter instrument was capable of producing 44 different percussive sounds. Both incarnations feature a yellow and orange color scheme and a belt clip which allows the drummer to wear the amplifier on his or her hip. The amplifier requires one 9-volt battery and has a wheel for volume control.

Hit Keys

A third, much rarer and less popular, toy, manufactured by Nasta in 1989, is Hit Keys. Hit Keys features two halves of a keyboard, tethered again by audio cables to an amplifier worn on the hip. Each half of the remote keyboard is strapped to a different hand and played separately with one key for each finger and thumb. Hit Keys provides a choice of either piano or organ sounds. The amplifier requires one 9-volt battery and features a wheel for volume control. Collectively, Hit Stix, Hit Stix 2 and Hit Keys toys are known as Hitstruments.

Jeanne Arland Peterson ( – June 23, 2013) was an American singer and pianist who was considered by some the "first lady of jazz" in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. She was inducted into two Minnesota halls of fame.

Early years 
The daughter of a father and mother who were both pianists, Peterson was born in Minneapolis, She began playing piano by ear at age 3 and later took lessons "to learn the names of the chords she had been playing." When she was 15, she had two part-time jobs—playing sheet music at Dayton's department store and singing in bars with a group that included her brother.

Peterson was a graduate of North Highschool in Minneapolis.

Career
Peterson's early professional experience came as a singer on radio station WCCO, where she performed for 20 years, and on television stations WCCO and KSTP, all in Minneapolis-St. Paul. In the early 1940s, she was the featured female vocalist with Sev Olsen's orchestra.

Although pianist Marian McPartland and others encouraged Peterson to move to New York City to advance her career, she chose to stay in the Twin Cities and raise her children, even turning down a job offer from the leader of a big band.

After Peterson's husband died on the opening day of the Minnesota Twins' 1969 season, she took his place playing the organ for the team's home games. She also took over the booking agency that he had run and began singing for pay at parties and other social events.

In the early 1990s, Peterson and daughter Patty performed as a jazz duet, primarily at the Dakota Bar & Grill in St. Paul. They recorded an album in 1992.

Personal life
Peterson was married to Willie Peterson, who was a bandleader, booking agent, and pianist. They had six children, five of whom.became professional musicians. He died in 1969.

Death
On June 23, 2013, Peterson died at a nursing home in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, at age 91.

Recognition 
In 1992, Peterson was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. That was followed by her 2005 induction into the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

Geertsen is a common Family Name in the Netherlands.

As a result of the migration of a small Dutch community to Denmark in the 16th or 17th century, it is also in use in Denmark (where it is not to be confused with the Danish Gertsen).
The Geertsens initially settled on the island of Amager along with the rest of the Dutch emigrants. Here they farmed for the nearby Danish capital of Copenhagen, while interacting mainly with the rest of the Dutch community. Later on they spread to other parts of the country, including to the cities of Randers and Ringsted. 

In Denmark today there live about 700-800 persons with the last name Geertsen. These include politicians Pelle Christy Geertsen and Martin Geertsen. Pelle Christy Geertsen is a board member and former spokesperson of the Danish June Movement. Martin Geertsen is one of the mayors of the Danish Capital of Copenhagen. He is a member of the governing liberal party Venstre.

Surnames
Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil is a CD by Coil, released the same year as Queens of the Circulating Library. Like Queens, this album originally came packaged only in a pink c-shell case, with no official cover art except the on-disc printing.

According to the credits, "Coil were Thighpaulsandra, John Balance, & Peter Christopherson. Thanks to Simon Norris."

The track names provided are "Higher Beings Command", "I Am the Green Child", "Beige", "Lowest Common Abominator", "Free Base Chakra", and "Tunnel of Goats". The track listing is rather mysterious as it only lists six tracks while 23 tracks are actually pressed on the CD. The most commonly given explanation (including that of the official archive) is that the final song title, "Tunnel of Goats", is that of an 18-track suite which is, along with the trio of tracks before it, the main musical basis of the live opus "Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil". Release notes for the 2022 remaster state that this track layout was "intended to scramble the functionality of a CD player's shuffle mode[...]".

The release is unique in Coil's catalog for several things not unusual to the band separately: it is very noisy and nearly devoid of conventional instruments and vocals. John Balance's singing appears only on "I Am the Green Child" and minimally on "Tunnel of Goats", while Tom Edwards plays marimba on the former. However, their live act prominently featured Edwards's playing and, unlike the original, the live version of "Higher Beings Command" does include vocals.

The following warning appears after the track listing: "May Cause Drowsiness – Do Not Play While Driving or Operating Machinery".

The catalogue number is ESKATON 24. Coil Presents Time Machines has the similar catalog number of ESKATON CD24.

In 2022, Dais Records remastered and reissued the album as a 2-LP set (seven different pressings on different colours of vinyl, with some having lenticular covers), CD and Bandcamp download. The remaster was done by Josh Bonati, while official cover art was created by Nathaniel Young.

Track listing

Notes 
Tracks 3, 4 and 5 are mixed as a continuous piece, fading out at the end of track 5. Tracks 6 through 21 are continuous as well. Track 22 is silent, except for the beginning which is an extension from track 21. Track 23 features John Balance laughing with echo effects applied to his voice.
Starting at 1:57 of track 10, through track 12, Balance can be heard singing in the right channel.
The lyrics to "Tunnel of Goats" resurface on "Constant Shallowness Leads to Evil" on Live Two and the conclusion of "Backwards" on Live Three.
On the Dais 2LP reissues, side A is tracks 1–2, B is 3–5 and "Tunnel of Goats" is split between sides C and D.
On the Dais CD and digital reissues, the tracks entitled "Tunnel of Goats" are summed into track 6, with a run time of 27:38.

The Feast of Saint George (also called al-Khader) is a Palestinian holiday commemorating Saint George, known as Mar Jeries or Jirjis and al-Khader, in Palestinian Arabic. The feast occurs annually on 5 May, and although it is originally a local Christian holiday, both Palestinian Christians and Muslims participate. The feast is held in the Palestinian town of al-Khader, just south of Bethlehem.

Origins

Palestinian folklore suggests that the feast originated during the Byzantine rule of Palestine. According to the folktale, "the feast came and the young men stood together making their vows. One said, 'I will give a goat,' another 'I will give a sheep.' Then Jirjis (Jeries), the son of a widow, desired to offer something. They had but one cow. Then he said, 'I will sacrifice a cow,' and he went and killed the cow."

At evening time his mother called to him and said, 'Where is the cow?' He said, 'I gave it to El Khader. (St. George)' His mother said, 'You have cut our lives. Let me not see your face again.' That night, the young man had a vision. A white haired man appeared to him and said, 'Fear not, I am El Khader: thou shalt go to Constantinople and to the king’s palace. Only each day thou shalt call a blessing upon me.' ...

Religious traditions

Christian
Previously, the feast attracted Arabs from throughout Palestine to visit the Monastery of Saint George and trade loaves of bread, make sacrifices they vow to fulfill and gather for picnics under the olive trees surrounding the monastery.

The same tradition continues today, with many Christian pilgrims coming to baptize their children, due to the abundance of stories about the healing properties of Saint George. Although the priest accepts meat as a gift, the Christian tradition of the monastery itself does not sacrifice the animals. On the morning of 6 May, Palestinian Christians from Beit Jala, Bethlehem, Beit Sahour and other parts of Palestine would march in a procession to the monastery.

Islamic

Traditionally, Muslims guard the entrance of the church and welcome pilgrims. Like the Christians, the Muslims too sacrifice sheep during the feast and offerings are stored in a sheep pen in the garden of the monastery. In Islam, two sacrifices are offered: The first is the dhabihah, which requires that one-third of the immolated lamb be set aside for consumption by its owner, while the remaining two-thirds are for Allah and given as charity. The second offering is that of a live animal, bequeathed as a gift to Saint George.

Muslim signs dot the courtyard of the monastery and traces of the sacrifices are evident in the form of the lamb hides left on the balustrades to dry.

John Boyce (born in Donegal, Ireland, in 1810, died in Worcester, Massachusetts, 2 January 1864) was a novelist, lecturer, and Catholic priest, known under the assumed name of "Paul Peppergrass". 

His father was the wealthy proprietor of the principal hotel in the town and a magistrate of the county. John entered the preparatory seminary in Navan, County Meath, and graduated with the highest honours in rhetoric and philosophy. He completed his studies at St Patrick's College, Maynooth and was ordained priest in 1837. For eight years he worked on the Irish mission, but in 1845 moved to America. From Eastport, Maine, the scene of his first missionary work, he was transferred in 1847 to St. John's Catholic Church, Worcester, where he remained until his death.

Besides these books he contributed to the editorial columns of the Boston Pilot, wrote many sketches and criticisms which appeared in print, and a lecture on "The Satisfying Influence of Catholicity on the Intellect and Senses", delivered before the Catholic Institute in New York in 1851.

Nacoleia alincia is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Turner in 1908. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 15-20 mm. The forewings are whitish, generally suffused with fuscous, especially towards the costa. There is a fuscous fascia near the base, succeeded by a fine transverse line and fuscous dots in the disc and at the middle. There are also two fuscous dots on the apical part of the costa, from the second proceeds an inwardly oblique, slightly dentate line, strongly bent outwards in the disc, and again inwards, ending on the dorsum. The hindwings are as the forewings, but without the basal lines and with only one discal spot. The postmedian line is interrupted in the middle.

Unidad de Gestión Operativa Mitre-Sarmiento (UGOMS) was a temporary consortium of Argentine companies formed on 24 May 2012 by Ferrovías and Metrovías to take over the running of the Sarmiento and Mitre commuter rail lines, after concessions granted to Trenes de Buenos Aires (TBA) in 1995 for the operation of these services were revoked.

History 
Trenes de Buenos Aires, a company formed in 1995 to take over rail concessions granted by the Argentine government, as part of railway privatisation during the presidency of Carlos Menem, operated commuter rail services over Sarmiento and Mitre lines in Buenos Aires which had previously been run by state-owned companies since nationalisation of the railways in 1948. In spite of the large state subsidies received by the company a serious decline in the standard of its services, and fatal accidents (especially, the 2012 Buenos Aires rail disaster), led to the concession for both lines being revoked in 2012 through Decree N° 793/12, and to these services being taken over by the newly formed UGOMS.

In September 2013, Minister of Transport of Argentina, Florencio Randazzo, announced that Mitre and Sarmiento lines would be temporarily taken over by state organism SOFSE. SOFSE operated both lines until 12 February 2014, when they were given under concession to Corredores Ferroviarios. As a result, UGOMS and Unidad de Gestión Operativa Ferroviaria de Emergencia were dissolved. However both lines are now again operated by SOFSE following the renationalisation of the railways in Argentina.

The 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the Polish poet Wisława Szymborska (1923–2012) "for poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality." Szymborska is the 9th female recipient and the 5th Nobel laureate from Poland after Czesław Miłosz in 1980

Laureate

Wisława Szymborska's poetry addressed existential questions. In her poems, she employs literary devices such as ironic precision, paradox, contradiction, and understatement to illuminate philosophical themes and obsessions. She weaves in the machinery of eternity in a momentary experience of the here and now. Her poetry is characterized by a simplified, "personal" language that is unlike contemporary language, often with a little twist at the end, with a striking combination of spirituality, ingenuity, and empathy. Many of her poems feature war and terrorism. Among her well-known collections include Dlatego żyjemy ("That's Why We Are All Alive", 1952), Pytania zadawane sobie ("Questioning Yourself", 1954), Ludzie na moście ("People on the Bridge", 1986), Koniec i początek ("The End and the Beginning", 1993), and Widok z ziarnkiem piasku ("View with a Grain of Sand", 1996).

Reactions
The choice of Szymborska was seen as a surprise by many observers who had expected a novelist to win the prize as the previous years prize had been awarded to the Irish poet Seamus Heaney. The exiled Chinese poet Bei Dao was also a favourite to win the prize. “She has gone through a long evolution and has reached maturity,” said the Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1980. “Polish poetry in the 20th century has reached a strong international position on the European continent. Szymborska represents it well.”

Nobel lecture
Szymborska delivered her Nobel lecture entitled The Poet and the World in the Polish language on December 7, 1996 at the Swedish Academy. During the Nobel banquet, on December 20, she expressed a short speech of gratitude, saying:
