Eremophila strongylophylla is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a small shrub with distinctive round leaves, yellowish new growth and purple flowers which are white inside. It is similar to Eremophila mackinlayi and Eremophila hygrophana but distinguished from them by characteristics including leaf shape, and the type of hairs on its leaves and branches.

Description
Eremophila strongylophylla is a rounded shrub with many branches growing to a height of between  with its branches and leaves covered with a layer of fine, yellowish to grey hairs and glandular hairs. The branches are rough due to raised leaf bases. The leaves are arranged alternately, well spaced along the branches and have a flattened stalk that is  long. The leaf blade is egg-shaped, spoon-shaped or almost round, mostly  long,  wide and has a wavy surface.

The flowers are usually borne singly in leaf axils on a hairy stalk which is usually  long.  There are 5 narrow-triangular, green sepals which are mostly  long. The outside surface of the sepals has similar yellowish hairs to those on the leaves while the inside surface has mostly glandular hairs. The petals are  long and are joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is purple on the outside and white with purple spots inside the tube. The outer surface of the petal tube is covered with star-shaped hairs, but the inner surface of the lobes is glabrous while the inside of the tube is filled with long, woolly hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs between April and October and the fruit which follow are oval to conical in shape,  long and thickly covered with branched white hairs.

Taxonomy and naming
Eremophila strongylophylla was first formally described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1876 and the description was published in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae. The specific epithet means "round-leaved".

Distribution and habitat
This eremophila occurs in areas between the Overlander Roadhouse and Carnarvon in the Carnarvon, Gascoyne, Murchison and Pilbara biogeographic regions. It grows in red, sandy soil near watercourses and along drainage lines.

Conservation
This species is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.

Use in horticulture
The most attractive forms of E. strogylophylla are those with gold tips on the new leaves but all are small shrubs with lilac-coloured to purple flowers over an extended period. It can be propagated by cuttings but plants grown on their own roots have a tendency to sucker. If this characteristic is not desirable, grafting onto Myoporum rootstock is preferred. The plant will grow in most soils in a sunny or part-shaded position and only requires the occasional watering during a long drought. It can tolerate light frosts but a heavy frost may cause damage that can be pruned away after winter, rejuvenating the shrub.

The Comeback Tour was a headlining tour by American country music group the Zac Brown Band. It began on August 5, 2021, in Holmdel, New Jersey and finished on November 21, in Rapid City, South Dakota. The tour comes after canceling their 2020 Roar With the Lions Tour due the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background
The band was set to tour in 2020 but because of the COVID-19 pandemic it was canceled. On May 10, 2021, they announced a new tour, The Comeback Tour. Of the tour Brown said, "We couldn't be more excited to get back on the road and share our new music with our fans. It's been a long difficult year for everyone and we're fired up to be reuniting with our crew, get back on tour, and celebrate a brand new world." Most of the tour will take place on the East Coast with some shows in the Midwest and Colorado.

The September 30–October 3 shows were canceled due to Zac Brown testing positive for COVID-19.

Critical reception
Rick Munroe of Music Fest News said of the West Palm Beach show, "The continuous bursts of sound that filled the venue could be felt from those lucky enough to be in the pit and front rows through the upper reaches of the lawn where many fans watched the show from the massive video screens." He also said "It was a night of feel-good, sing-out-loud and don't-care-who's-listening kind of music."

Lt-Col. Samuel Hall-Thompson (1885 – 26 October 1954) was a Unionist politician from Northern Ireland.

Hall-Thompson was born at Crawfordsburn in Ulster.  He studied at Dulwich College, England.  His father, Rt. Hon. Robert Thompson, DL, was also an MP.  Samuel went into business and, in 1929, served as High Sheriff of Belfast.

At the 1929 Northern Ireland general election, Hall-Thompson was elected as the Ulster Unionist Party Member of Parliament for Belfast Clifton.  In 1939, he was appointed Chief Ordnance Officer for Northern Ireland, and from 1944 until 1950 he served as Minister of Education. This position carried with it membership of the Privy Council of Northern Ireland. Hall-Thompson suffered criticism from some Unionists for appearing to compromise with the Roman Catholic Church while in this position. He was not a member of the Orange Order.

In 1950, Hall-Thompson was appointed Chairman of Ways and Means Committee and Deputy Speaker of the Northern Ireland House of Commons.  At the 1953 general election, he was defeated by Norman Porter, an independent Unionist who had been an outspoken and stern critic.

Samuel's son, Lloyd Hall-Thompson, later became an MP in Northern Ireland.

The Lynx Express was a long-distance passenger train in the South Island of New Zealand that ran the length of the Main North Line between Picton and Christchurch. The service was operated by New Zealand Rail Limited business unit InterCity Rail.

Operation
New Zealand Rail began The Lynx fast ferry service as part of the Interisland Line at the end of 1994, with the 74-metre Incat catamaran  being leased for that summer from Condor Ferries. It provided a faster alternative to the conventional ferries  and .

To complement the faster ferry, a passenger train from Picton to Christchurch and return was introduced. Named the Lynx Express, it debuted on Monday, 19 December 1994 and unlike the Coastal Pacific it ran beyond Picton railway station to and from the ferry terminal. The Coastal Pacific Express connecting with the conventional ferries ran from Christchurch to Picton and back.

Two cars from the original Southerner later used on the Northerner were rebuilt to the same specification as the new TranzAlpine cars. They each seated 50 passengers in seats designed for the Wairarapa Connection and Northerner/Overlander, featuring alcove-style seating with tables along with panoramic windows and air conditioning. These cars were complemented by the then-recently refurbished former Southerner, later Northerner, and an InterCity spare buffet car with 24 seats and tables, arranged alcove style, and a Daewoo modular former Auckland suburban van converted to a power and baggage van with a new 90 kW generator.

Despite the improved accommodation on the newer train, as opposed to the Coastal Pacific, and its faster timetable with only two intermediate stops at Blenheim and Kaikōura, the service failed to attract sufficient revenue, and when the Condor 10 returned from 1995 to 1996, the service was not resumed.

Accident 
On 23 December 1994, just a few days after its introduction, the Picton bound Lynx Express was involved in accident at a level crossing with State Highway 1 north of Omihi. A car illegally tried to cross in front of the train and was struck, resulting in the death of one of the car’s occupants. The car’s driver and another occupant suffered serious injuries.

Arouca (originally San Agustín de Arouca) is a town in the East–West Corridor of Trinidad and Tobago located  east of Port of Spain, along the Eastern Main Road. It is located west of Arima, east of Tunapuna and Tacarigua, south of Lopinot, and north of Piarco. It is governed by the Tunapuna–Piarco Regional Corporation. Arouca may be a corruption of Arauca, an Amerindian tribe.

During most of the Spanish rule, Arouca was a settlement reserved for Amerindians. However, when the French arrived in 1783 under Governor José María Chacón's Cedula de Repoblación the Amerindians were restricted to Arima. Most of the land in Arouca was split between the Tablau and Chaumet families. Arouca steadily grew into a major agricultural center, but the extension of the railroad to Sangre Grande in 1898 lured many people in Arouca to relocate to the more prosperous Sangre Grande valley.

Today, it mainly comprises residential housing. There are several schools located in Arouca including the Bon Air Primary School, Arouca Anglican Primary School, Arouca Girls R.C., Arouca Boys R.C., Arouca Government Primary Schools and Bon Air High School.

Arouca is home to four prisons and one correctional facility. These include the Golden Grove Prison, Remand Prison, Women's Prison and Youth Training and Rehabilitation Centre.

Rashidan District is a new district in Ghazni province, Afghanistan; it was created from the larger Jaghatu district.

Administration
The capital appears to be Rashidan, a new township near Hussain Khel and Qulgina.

Geography

Healthcare

Education 
After 2001 when Taliban fled the country, most of people sent their children to schools and universities. Rashidan district has two high school (Hussain Khil High school) and (Shahid Mohammad Azim High School) and around four secondary schools, which are located at different spots of the district. Shahid Mohammad Azim high school is located in Hussainkhel village near to the Rashidan district building.
Currently (2019) there are many young lecturers who teach at national universities of Afghanistan, Professor Khaliq Rashid who is from this district teaches at Jawaher Lal Nehru University in Delhi, India.

Another significant person from Rashidan is Khalilullah Hotak, who served as Chief of Staff for the former President of Afghanistan, Professor Burhanuddin Rabani and head of the National Directorate of Security in many provinces. Hotak currently resides in Sweden.
Many more are holding bachelor's degrees in different fields and are currently employed by the government of Afghanistan.

Demographics
22,280 people are living in the villages of the district, with 96% of them Pashtun and 4% Hazara.

Water Shortage
The continuing drought is the main problem of the district.  In 2002, only 6% of arable land was farmed.  The lack of water make people leave their villages and go to other districts or abroad. In latest years with increase in the winter snowfalls the water level in this district has increased.

Trade and Commerce
People of this district are mostly engaged in agriculture, carpentry, and construction. Some people leave the district in summers and go to neighboring cities and outside of the country mostly Iran and Pakistan as labors and foremen.

In computer graphics, texture splatting is a method for combining different textures. It works by applying an alphamap (also called a "weightmap" or a "splat map") to the higher levels, thereby revealing the layers underneath where the alphamap is partially or completely transparent. The term was coined by Crawfis et al.

Optimizations 
Since texture splatting is commonly used for terrain rendering in computer games, various optimizations are required. Because the underlying principle is for each texture to have its own alpha channel, large amounts of memory can easily be consumed. As a solution to this problem, multiple alpha maps can be combined into one texture using the red channel for one map, the blue for another, and so on. This effectively uses a single texture to supply alpha maps for four real-color textures. The alpha textures can also use a lower resolution than the color textures, and often the color textures can be tiled.

Terrains can also be split into chunks where each chunk can have its own textures. Say there is a certain texture on one part of the terrain that doesn’t appear anywhere else on it: it would be a waste of memory and processing time if the alpha map extended over the whole terrain if only 10% of it was actually required. If the terrain is split into chunks then the alpha map can also be split up according to the chunks and so now instead of 90% of that specific map being wasted only 20% may be.

Related techniques 

Alpha-based texture splatting, though simple, gives rather unnatural transitions. Height-based texture blending attempts to improve on quality by blending based on a heightmap of each texture.
