Nina Beilina (4 March 1937 – 25 November 2018) was a Russian concert violinist and academic, in later years living in the USA.

Life
Nina Mikhaylovna Beilina was born in Moscow in 1937. At age five she began playing the violin, studying with Abram Yampolsky; she later studied at the Moscow Conservatory with David Oistrakh.

She won first prize at the Enescu Competition in 1961, came joint third at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1962, and won the Grand Prix at the Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition. She performed in the Soviet Union, in Eastern Europe and in South America.

After the death of her husband, conductor Israel Chudnovsky, she moved to the US in 1977, with her son Emil Chudnovsky (who became a violinist and teacher). Her formal debut was in New York in January 1978; the critic Harold C. Schonberg wrote, " Whatever she touched came out with incredible polish, assurance and, when needed, brilliance".

She was professor of violin at the Mannes School of Music in New York from 1978 to 2017, and she performed in the US and internationally. In 1988 she founded the chamber orchestra Bachanalia, which gave up to six concerts a year.

Nina Beilina died in Manhattan in 2018, aged 81.

8 Flavahz is an all-female dance crew originally based in both Honolulu, Hawaii and Los Angeles, California. They are best known for being the runners-up of the seventh season of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew.

The crew consists of eight members: Angel Gibbs, Camren Bicondova, Charlize Glass, Jaira Miller, Kaelynn Gobert-Harris, Summer Waikiki, Tamara Rapp and Tiara Rapp.

Outside of the crew, Bicondova portrayed young Selina Kyle/Catwoman in the Batman prequel TV series Gotham from 2014 to 2019.

History

Before 8 Flavahz
Before forming 8 Flavahz with its current lineup, the crew was known as Flavahs Crew and consisted of eight girls from the Hawaiian dance studio 24VII. The original crew had auditioned for the sixth season of America's Best Dance Crew, but did not make the cut. Although they did not make it onto the show in season 6, they were encouraged to return to try out for the next season by ABDC judge D-Trix.

Formation
In 2011, after failing to make it onto the sixth season of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, the Hawaiian girls - twin sisters Tiara and Tamara, Camren, and Summer - attended a dance convention in Los Angeles, where they met their L.A. counterparts - Kaelynn, Jaira, Angel, and Charlize. The Hawaiian girls then invited the four L.A. girls to join them and their crew to compete in World of Dance Hawaii. Under the name Flavahs and Friends, they competed in World of Dance Hawaii and placed in third. Three of the Hawaiian girls - Tiara, Tamara, and Summer - were also a part of another group that was competing in the same competition, named 24VII Danceforce, in which they were crowned the winners. After placing third in World of Dance Hawaii, it was decided that the four Hawaiian girls would form a new group with the four L.A. girls and they were officially dubbed 8 Flavahz. With their newly formed group, the girls were ready to audition once again for the next season of America's Best Dance Crew, placing second in the competition.

A kolk (colc) is an underwater vortex created when rapidly rushing water passes an underwater obstacle in boundary areas of high shear. High-velocity gradients produce a violently rotating column of water, similar to a tornado. Kolks can pluck multiple-ton blocks of rock and transport them in suspension for thousands of metres.

Kolks leave clear evidence in the form of plucked-bedrock pits, called rock-cut basins or kolk lakes and downstream deposits of gravel-supported blocks that show percussion but no rounding.

Examples 

Kolks were first identified by the Dutch, who observed kolks hoisting several-ton blocks of riprap from dikes and transporting them away, suspended above the bottom.  The Larrelt kolk near Emden appeared during the 1717 Christmas flood which broke through a long section of the dyke. The newly formed body of water measured roughly 500 × 100 m and was 25 m deep. In spite of the repair to the dyke, another breach occurred in 1721, which produced more kolks between 15 and 18 m deep. In 1825 during the February flood near Emden, a kolk of 31 m depth was created. The soil was saturated from here for a further 5 km inland.

Kolks are credited with creating the pothole-like features in the highly jointed basalts in the channeled scablands of the Columbia Basin region in Eastern Washington. Depressions were scoured out within the scablands that resemble virtually circular steep-sided potholes. Examples from the Missoula floods in this area include: 
 The region below Dry Falls includes a number of lakes scoured out by kolks. 
 Sprague Lake is a kolk-formed basin created by a flow estimated to be  wide and  deep. 
 The Alberton Narrows on the Clark Fork River show evidence that kolks plucked boulders from the canyon and deposited them in a rock and gravel bar immediately downstream of the canyon. 
 The south wall of Hellgate Canyon in Montana shows the rough-plucked surface characteristic of kolk-eroded rock. 
 Both the walls of the Wallula Gap and the Columbia River Gorge also show the rough-plucked surfaces characteristic of kolk-eroded rock.
 Oswego Lake, in the middle of Lake Oswego, Oregon (a Portland suburb), was an abandoned channel of the Tualatin River that was scoured by a kolk.

Geomorphology
Pseudothelphusidae is a family of freshwater crabs found chiefly in mountain streams in the Neotropics. They are believed to have originated in the Greater Antilles and then crossed to Central America via a Pliocene land bridge. Some species of this family are troglobitic.

Parasitology
Pseudothelpshusids are of significance to humans because many species are secondary hosts for lung flukes of the genus Paragonimus. Predators of pseuthelphusid crabs include the yellow-spotted river turtle and the tufted capuchin.

Karel Goeyvaerts's Piece for Piano and Tape (Stuk voor piano en geluidsband) was composed in 1964. It explores the potential relations between a live piano performance and a manipulated recording, distributing them around a central axis in the manner of his 1950s serial music's procedures. Goeyvaerts originally thought of synchronizing both parts, but he subsequently decided to contrast the different natures of the fixed recording and the live performance.

The Drowner (1996) is a novel by Australian author Robert Drewe. It was shortlisted for Miles Franklin Award, and won the Vance Palmer Prize for Fiction and New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards — Book of the Year in 1997.

Plot summary

In the late 19th century an Englishman irrigator or "drowner", Will Dance, utilises ancient water-knowledge and modern technology to save a drought-ridden town in Western Australia.

Reviews

 Publishers' Weekly noted: "The desert mining town,..., comes fully to life, invigorated by crisp and moving portrayals of Drewe's minor characters and the monotonous beauty of the hostile (blessedly arid) countryside."  
 Garth Crawford in Woroni Sstated: "In his mastery of image, and spare but beautiful descriptions of this quest, Drewe reveals his strongest claim to pre-eminence. The Drowner is by an author who enjoys words, weighs and places each without mistaking linguistic asceticism for aestheticism."

Roberto Pregadio (6 December 1928 – 15 November 2010) was an Italian composer, conductor and TV-personality.

Born in Catania and graduated in piano at the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory in Naples, in 1960 Pregadio became a pianist in the RAI Light Music Orchestra.  From the second half of the sixties, for about fifteen years, he composed and directed about fifty musical scores. In the 1980s he founded a jazz ensamble, the Sestetto Swing di Roma.

As composer he was probably best known for the whistled musical score for the 1969 Spaghetti Western The Forgotten Pistolero, that he composed with Franco Micalizzi and that was later used in several episodes of The Ren & Stimpy Show.

In Italy he was also well known as the partner of Corrado Mantoni, from 1968 to 1997, and later of Gerry Scotti until 2007, in the radio and TV show La corrida.

Russell Grove High School was an all African American high school located in Amelia Court House, Virginia.

History 
Prior to the integration of public schools in 1969, education for black students was sparse in rural Virginia. In 1865, widowed by her fallen husband, who had been a Union army officer, Samantha Jane Neil began educating freed slaves in Amelia County. The school was very primitive in its earlier days; chalkboards were nothing but walls that were painted black, and students had to sit on hardwood flooring. Despite its being a school for black students, most of the faculty were white until 1934.

In 1892, Ingleside Seminary opened in Burkeville, Virginia, for young black women of Amelia and Nottoway counties to receive a secondary education; a historical marker sits near the former site. The original Russell Grove School, also known as Russell Grove Presbyterian Church, was restored in 2017.

In 1933, Russell Grove High School was built on land purchased by parents of Russell Grove students. By 1950, the school's curriculum expanded to include vocational school, college preparatory classes, and after-school athletics. 

In 1969, Russell Grove students were integrated into the all-white Amelia High School, marking the end of segregated public schools in Amelia County. The Russell Grove building still stands today and serves as office space for the Amelia County Public School District.

Rolland Leslie "Rolly" Tasker AM (21 March 192622 June 2012) was an Australian sailor who won Australia's first Olympic sailing medal, at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne.  He and Malcolm (Huck) Scott won a silver medal in their 12m2 Sharpie after the New Zealander Peter Mander failed to disqualify himself and Rolly had not officially protested. In 1958 Tasker won the Flying Dutchman World Championship.

From 1969 to 1985 Tasker dominated ocean racing in Western Australia with five sister yachts all called Siska.  In the 1978 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Siska IV was denied official starter status on a technicality.  Tasker started five minutes ahead of the fleet and crossed the finish line 20 hours ahead of line honours winner Apollo. He won numerous other ocean racing events in his career including taking line honours and first place in the Queen Victoria Cup off Cowes, England.  He competed in the disastrous 1979 Fastnet race, finishing third across the line.  In the Parmelia Yacht Race from Plymouth to Fremantle in 1979, he finished second in the line honours race, and was the fastest yacht for each of the two legs.

Tasker was inducted into the Western Australian Hall of Champions in 1986 and the Sport Australian Hall of Fame in 1996.  He became a Member of the Order of Australia in 2006 for his services to sailing.

He operated a sail-making business based in Phuket, Thailand called Rolly Tasker Sails.

In April 2008 Tasker opened the Australian Sailing Museum in Mandurah, Western Australia, with exhibits of the America's Cup races from 1851 and famous sailors from Australian sailing competitions. Twelve lifelike icons of the sailing world form part of the display, along with over 200 model yacht fleet class examples on a scale 1" to the foot.

His biography, Sailing to the Moon was published in 2008. It is written by Roland Perry and describes Tasker's extensive sailing and business activities.

In 2017, he was an inaugural inductee in the Australian Sailing Hall of Fame.
