The Breathing Method is a novella by American writer  Stephen King, originally released as part of his Different Seasons collection in 1982. It is placed in the section entitled "A Winter's Tale".

Plot
David, the narrator of the frame tale, is a middle-aged Manhattan lawyer.  At the invitation of a senior partner, he joins a strange men's club where the members, in addition to reading, chatting and playing pool and chess, like to tell stories, some of which range into the bizarre and macabre.  The club and its butler are also featured in King's short story "The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands".

One Thursday before Christmas, the elderly physician Dr. Emlyn McCarron tells a story about an episode that took place early in his long and varied career: that of a patient, Sandra Stansfield, who was determined to give birth to her illegitimate child, no matter what, despite financial problems and social disapproval.  McCarron comes to admire her bravery and humor, and the implication is that he has even fallen a bit in love with her.

Sandra masters Dr. McCarron's unusual (for the 1930s) breathing method intended to help her through childbirth. However, when she goes into labor and is on the way to the hospital on an icy winter night, her taxi crashes and she is decapitated.  McCarron arrives at the crash site and realizes that Sandra is somehow still alive.  Her lungs in her decapitated body are still pumping air, as her head, some feet away, is working to sustain the breathing method so that the baby can be born. McCarron manages to deliver the infant alive and well.

On a sweet but haunting end note, Sandra whispers "Thank you"—her severed head mouthing the words, which are distortedly heard from the throat jutting from her headless body.  McCarron is able to tell her that her baby is a boy and to see that she has registered this before she dies.  McCarron and his office nurse pay for the woman's burial, for she has no one else.

The child is adopted, but despite the confidential nature of adoption records, McCarron is able to keep track of him over the years. When the man is "not yet 45", and an accomplished college professor, McCarron arranges to meet him socially. "He had his mother's determination, gentlemen," he tells the club members, "and his mother's hazel eyes."

Reception

The Breathing Method was a finalist for the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Best Novella.

The Inadan, also referred to as Enad or Tinadan, have been one of the historic artisan castes in West Africa, particularly among the Tuareg people. Sometimes referred to as an endogamous caste and sometimes as endogamous marginalized class within the Tuareg, the Inadan are found in Niger, Mali, Libya, Sahel and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

The Inadan have been a part of the Tuareg society that has traditionally featured clan membership, social status and caste hierarchies within each political confederation. These hierarchical systems have included nobles, clerics, craftsmen and unfree strata of people. According to the anthropologist Jeffrey Heath, Tuareg artisans have been a separate endogamous castes known as the Inhædˤæn (Inadan) within this social stratification.

The Inadan live in Tuareg settlements, are sedentary, considered subordinate and lowly, and endogamous because of social taboos towards inter-marriage between their strata and other members of the Tuareg tribe. Their hereditary occupation has been artisanal smith-related work and leather work, but they have diversified into providing labor services such as in tourism in contemporary Tuareg communities. According to Heath, Inadan have included the blacksmith, jewelers, wood workers and leather artisan castes. They produced and repaired the saddles, tools, household items and other items for the Tuareg community. In Niger and Mali, where the largest Tuareg populations are found, the artisan castes were attached as clients to a family of nobles or vassals, and carried messages over distances for their patron family. They also are the ones who traditionally sacrifice animals during Islamic festivals.

The Lion is a historic steam locomotive at the Maine State Museum in Augusta, Maine, USA.  Built in 1846 for use on a logging railroad, it is the oldest known American-built locomotive in New England.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Description
The Lion is set on display, prominently located near the entrance to the Maine State Museum.  Its main frame is  long and  wide, made of solid oak timbers with iron strapping.  Mounted on this frame is a five-section boiler, with a dry steam dome near its center, from which steam is piped to the steam chest, which drives the pistons that move the train.  The boiler and cylinders were insulated with a thin layer of wood, which was covered by a thin layer of iron.  The main stack is located at the front, and has an unusual inverted cone shape, apparently intended to deflect sparks and cinders that came from the exhaust.

It has been stated that the Lion cost originally $2,700, exclusive of the tender. The bore and stroke of its cylinders are 9½ inches and 17 inches, respectively, and the diameter of the four wheels is approximately 42½ inches. The gauge is standard, 56½ inches. The locomotive alone weighs 9 tons.

History
The locomotive was built by Hinkley & Drury (Hinkley Locomotive Works) in 1846 as the Lion for the Machiasport Railroad of eastern Maine. The Lion operated as a working locomotive until 1890. It was sold in 1897 to Thoman Towle of Portland, Maine. It was then purchased by the City of Portland and appeared in the 1898 Fourth of July parade. The Lion was given to the University of Maine at Machias in 1905 and was displayed and owned by the University until 1985 when it was given to the Maine State Museum. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The Lion is the oldest American-built locomotive in New England.

The 2010 Missouri State Auditor election took place on November 2, 2010.  Republican Ambassador Tom Schweich defeated incumbent Democratic State Auditor Susan Montee. It was only the third time in the last four decades that a sitting auditor in Missouri was unseated.  Schweich's victory made him one of only two Republicans elected to Missouri's executive branch.

Democratic primary

Campaign
Incumbent Missouri State Auditor Susan Montee had token opposition. She easily defeated her lesser known opponent in the Democratic primary.

Results

Republican primary

Campaign
Missouri State Representative Allen Icet announced his candidacy in June, 2009.  Ambassador Tom Schweich joined the race in July, 2009, after having considered running for US Senator.  The primary was a close race.  Icet had experience as the chairman of the state house budget committee and he was supported by 95 state legislators.  Schweich had experience managing audits and was supported by Lieutenant Governor of Missouri Peter Kinder, former United States Attorney General John Ashcroft, former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney, four Missouri state senators, and two former United States ambassadors.

Schweich criticized Icet for taking trips and meals from lobbyists and for the fact that the state budget rose from $19 billion to $23 billion while Icet was chairman of the house budget committee.  Icet defended himself by saying that the trip he accepted was for educational purposes and by saying that most of the budget increases were due to increased federal spending and mandatory increases of things such as Medicare.

In spite of Icet's support from most of the state legislators, Schweich was able to gain a fundraising advantage and bigger name endorsements.

Results

Libertarian Primary

Results

General election

Campaign
During the campaign Montee attacked Schweich for not being a Certified Public Accountant.  Schweich defended himself by pointing to his experience managing audits. During the debate Schweich argued that the state auditor ought to be more of a law enforcement official; he pointed to the fact that he has law enforcement experience, while Montee did not. Montee argued that the state auditor should be a fiscal expert; she again pointed to the fact that she was a CPA, while Schweich was not.

In the end, Schweich defeated Montee with 50.8% of the vote. Schweich obtained strong leads in the rural parts of the state which was sufficient to overcome Montee's leads in urban St. Louis and Jackson County.

This special championship was organized with geographical criteria with Serie B and the best Serie C teams from Northern Italy taking part. For this reason, it is not included in the statistics even if it was an official tournament.

Spezia asked to be admitted to Serie A. After the refusal of FIGC, Spezia decided to join the regional leagues.
Ultimately, Spezia was admitted to Serie B in the following season.

Teams
Northern Italy had 12 Serie B clubs: six regular and three re-admitted teams of the last pre-war season, and three clubs promoted from Serie C. However, newly-promoted Varese obtained a yearly break for huge wartime damages, while Spezia Calcio did not join.

All Serie C guests advancing to the final round were granted a titular Serie B licence.

Three groups were created: Western, Central and Eastern.

André Filipe Silva Rocha Vieira (born 13 September 1992) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Saigon FC.

Football career
Born in Faro in the Algarve, Vieira began his career with several lower-level clubs in his native region. In 2016, after a year with CD Operário in the Azores, he joined his hometown's S.C. Farense in the third tier. He was part of the team that won promotion as runners-up in 2017–18, scoring three times in the 4–1 aggregate playoff semi-final win over U.D. Vilafranquense in May.

On 21 July 2018, Vieira made his professional debut in a 2018–19 Taça da Liga first round match against Penafiel; he was substituted before the team won on penalties after a goalless draw. He scored three times in his first professional league season, including two on 14 April 2019 in a 3–1 home win over G.D. Estoril Praia having come on as a substitute with four minutes left.

In August 2019, Vieira had successful surgery to cure an oncological problem. Having played just 13 games in all competitions, scoring once, as Farense won promotion to the Primeira Liga in 2019–20, he remained in the second tier with Varzim S.C. when he signed a contract of undisclosed length on 29 June 2020.

The hook-billed kingfisher (Melidora macrorrhina) is a species of kingfisher in the subfamily Halcyoninae that is resident in the lowland forested areas of New Guinea and some of the nearby islands. It is the only member of the genus Melidora.

Taxonomy
The first formal description of the hook-billed kingfisher was by the French surgeon and naturalist René Lesson in 1827 under the binomial name Dacelo macrorrhina. The hook-billed kingfisher is now the only species placed within the genus Melidora which was introduced by Lesson in 1830. The name of the genus probably comes from the classical Greek mēlis for "yellow" and doru for "spear". The specific epithet macrorrhina is from the classical Greek makros for "long" and rhis for "nose".

There are three subspecies:
 M. m. waigiuensis Hartert, 1930 – Waigeo Island
 M. m. macrorrhina (Lesson, R, 1827) – west, central, and east New Guinea, Misool and Batanta Islands
 M. m. jobiensis Salvadori, 1880 – north New Guinea and Yapen Island

Description
The hook-billed kingfisher is a large dumpy kingfisher with a length of  and a weight of . It has a long, white stripe below its eyes. Its underside is white. It has dull yellow feet.

The call and song are mainly given at night. The most common call is a long whistle followed by a series of higher pitched short notes.

Behaviour

Breeding
The hook-billed kingfisher excavates a nest chamber in an active arboreal termite nest  above the ground. The clutch is two white eggs which hatch asynchronously. The male helps to incubate the eggs and brood the young.

Feeding
It feeds on insects and frogs. It may dig into the soil searching for prey in a similar manner to the shovel-billed kookaburra.
