Theodora Kantakouzene (; died after 1381) was a Byzantine princess, the daughter of Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos and the fifth wife of the Ottoman Sultan Orhan Gazi.

Life 
Theodora was one of the three daughters of Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos by his wife Irene Asanina. The historian Nikephoros Gregoras erroneously calls her "Maria" in one passage. In January 1346, to cement her father's alliance with the rising Ottoman emirate and to prevent the Ottomans from giving their aid to the Empress-regent Anna of Savoy during the ongoing civil war, she was betrothed to the Ottoman ruler, Orhan Gazi. 

The marriage took place in the summer of the same year. Her parents and sisters escorted her to Selymbria, where Orhan's representatives, including grandees of his court and a cavalry regiment, arrived on a fleet of 30 ships. A ceremony was held at Selymbria, where Orhan's envoys received her and escorted her to the Ottoman lands in Bithynia, across the Marmara Sea, where the actual wedding took place.

Theodora remained a Christian after her marriage, and was active in supporting the Christians living under Ottoman rule. In 1347, she gave birth to her only son, Şehzade Halil, who was captured by Genoese pirates for ransom while still only a child. The Byzantine emperor John V Palaiologos was instrumental in his eventual release. Later, Halil married Irene, a daughter of John V Palaiologos and Theodora's sister, Helena Kantakouzene.

Except for a three-day sojourn in Constantinople in February 1347, in the aftermath of her father's victory in the civil war, Theodora remained at the Ottoman court until Orhan's death in 1362. After that, she apparently returned to Constantinople, where she lived with her sister, the Empress Helena, in the palace. She is last known to have been held imprisoned at Galata during the brief reign of Andronikos IV Palaiologos there in 1379–81.

Depictions in fiction

A fictionalised form of her character is the subject of Bertrice Small's novel Adora, published in 1980.

Derrick Edwin Bostrom (born June 23, 1960) is an American musician. He is a founding member and current drummer of the band Meat Puppets.

Although Meat Puppets singer/guitarist Curt Kirkwood wrote the majority of the songs for the band, Bostrom has co-penned several tunes, including the majority of their self-titled debut. Bostrom remained a member until 1996 when the band effectively went on hiatus. Although Curt Kirkwood later revived the Meat Puppets, Bostrom had not performed with the band until August 17, 2017, when he reunited with the Kirkwood brothers for a ceremony, recording of Dusty Notes and the tour surrounding the album.

Bostrom remained somewhat active as a musician during the band's hiatus and his personal hiatus from music by releasing material under the name Today's Sounds (including the 1996 release, Songs Of Spiritual Uplift As Sung By Today's Sounds) as well as collaborating with Neil Hamburger and Cliff Sarde (on his Smoke N' Function project). Bostrom has also maintained the official Meat Puppets website since 1995 — and has continued to do so even when the band is inactive. Furthermore, he oversaw the Rykodisc reissue of the Meat Puppets' SST era albums, and was interviewed for the 2012 book, Too High to Die: Meet the Meat Puppets.

In 2006, when the Kirkwood brothers began playing together again, fans speculated if Bostrom would be involved in an upcoming reunion, however he dismissed the notion in a post on the Meat Puppets' website. Ted Marcus became the band's drummer in 2007, succeeded by Shandon Sahm in 2010 before Bostrom re-joined in 2018. In 2020, Bostrom was interviewed for the book BONZO: 30 Rock Drummers Remember the Legendary John Bonham.

Cool Air is a 1999 black-and-white horror film directed by and starring Bryan Moore, and co-starring Jack Donner, with cinematography by Michael Bratkowski. It is based on the short story "Cool Air" by H. P. Lovecraft. This film is the start of a multi-volume series called The H.P. Lovecraft Collection. The series is supposed to feature the best of the films submitted at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival.

Plot
In the 1920s, impoverished horror writer Randolph Carter rents a room from Mrs. Caprezzi, an elderly landlady. Not long after settling into the shabby and almost bare room, he discovers a pool of ammonia on the floor that has leaked down from the room above. Mrs. Caprezzi, while cleaning up the ammonia, regales Randolph with strange stories of Dr. Muñoz (Jack Donner), the eccentric old gentleman who lives in the room upstairs. Later, Randolph suffers a heart attack and painfully makes his way to the doctor's room where he is treated with an unconventional medicine and makes a remarkable recovery. Befriending the doctor, Carter soon discovers the awful truth about the doctor's condition, why his room is kept intensely cold, and the fragile line that separates life and death.

The Psychedelic Priest (also known as Electric Shades of Grey and Jesus Freak) is a 2001 American film produced by Allied International Films. It was directed by William Grefé, although he was uncredited, and written by Terry Merrill. It stars John Darrell, James Coleman, and Joe Crane.

Plot
John, a Christian priest, says goodbye to his profession and takes a destinationless drive. He gets acquainted with a female hitchhiker, Sunny, who soon falls in love with him. However, John does not feel the same towards her and leaves, returning to work at the church.

Production
Also known as Electric Shades of Grey and Jesus Freak, The Psychedelic Priest was directed by William Grefé for Allied International Pictures, although for professional reasons he was not acknowledged as director but instead director of photography. For his part, Grefé received a hundred thousand dollars in trading stamps. Writer Stewart "Terry" Merrill received the directorial credit instead. Filming began in 1971 in California and during which there was no official timetable or script. Shooting locations included Topanga. The cast and the crew were largely non-professional, and real-life hippies starred in the film.

Release
The film's release was kept on hold after production, as it was felt that it would be a box-office failure. After three decades, in 2001, The Psychedelic Priest was finally released as a direct-to-video project. Distribution was handled by Something Weird Video.

Reception
DVD Verdict critic Bill Gibron described the film as an "accurate snapshot of America's collective hangover" although stating that it "has got to be the single biggest 'downer' since rave culture rediscovered the horse tranquilizer".

Theodor Eduard Pleske (Russian form: Fedor Dmitrievich Pleske Фёдор Эдуардович (Дмитриевич) Плеске) (11 July 1858 – 1 August 1932) was a Russian entomologist and ornithologist who worked at the museum of zoology at St. Petersburg.

Pleske was born in Peterhof to the upper class German family of Eduard Ludwig (1817-1873) and Margaret Elisabeth Oom (1882-1880). His brother was Eduard Dmitrievich Pleske (1854-1904) who served in the finance ministry. Pleske went to the 2nd St. Petersburg Classical Gymnasium, the German Grammar School St. Petri-Schule, graduating in 1878 to join St Petersburg University. In 

1880 he joined an expedition to the Kola Peninsula organized by the St Petersburg Society of Naturalists. He was already interested in birds and made collections which he donated to the Zoological Museum in 1881 where he worked under V.F. Russov and M.N. Bogdanov. After graduating he worked in Vladivostok in the administration but his health suffered and he returned in 1883 to St Petersburg and joined the museum as a volunteer. After the retirement of Bogdanov in 1886 he became an assistant of the director A.A. Strauch. He worked on the birds of the Kola peninsula and then studied the collections of Russov from Turkmenistan. In 1893, Strauch recommended Pleske for election to the Academy of Sciences. Pleske was made a member of the managing committee of the museum. Under Pleske, the museum was to be reconstructed. 

Somewhere in 1896 Pleske suffered from the pressures of the reconstruction and resigned. V.V. Zalensky was made director of the museum and Pleske. He also officially resigned from the Academy of Sciences on October 2, 1896. Pleske had a conflict with Andrei Petrovich Semenov (or Semenov-Tian-Shansky) which may also have precipitated his resignation. Following the Russian revolution, many wealthy people had to seek work again. In 1918 Pleske applied for work at the museum and he chose not to work with birds due to potential exposure to arsenic and instead began to work on insects. He worked on the Stratiomyiidae. In 1919 he again work on birds, examining the material from the Russian Polar Expedition of 1900-1903. 

After the death of V.L. Bianchi in 1920 he was made head of the Department of Ornithology. When P.P. Sushkin joined in 1921, he moved back to study Diptera. He also began to work on the organization of library. In 1928 he described Omissus after findings made on the Murmansk coast.  In 1932, Pleske may have been arrested as his name was repressed from the members of the Academy of Sciences. The reasons are unknown. He died on August 1, 1932, and was buried in the Smolenskoe Lutheran cemetery in St. Petersburg.

Submerging a mobile phone or other mobile device which has suffered from water damage into rice has not been shown to be effective in repairing them. Submerging these devices into a desiccant may or may not be more effective than leaving them to dry in open air. Uncooked rice is inferior to other common desiccants such as silica gel or cat litter. Despite what has been said, it is not recommended as the starch and particles from the rice can get lodged inside the phones inner parts.

History 
Rice has traditionally been used to keep camera equipment and films dry in tropical environments.

In July 2007, less than a month after the original iPhone was released, a member of MacRumors named jorsuss started a thread titled "I dropped my iPhone in water". They covered the phone in rice, which may have been the first documented attempt to use the procedure on an iPhone.

In the United States, with regard to automobiles, a glider is a vehicle without a powertrain (especially without an engine). Gliders are generally sold as unused car bodies, but a second-hand car may also be stripped of its powertrain and sold as a glider. The purpose of such a vehicle is to be used as a base for a non-standard powertrain, to create a novel variation of a conventional vehicle, custom car, exotic vehicle, or homemade electric vehicle conversion. The term is analogous to an aircraft with no engine being a glider.

Glider kit
A glider kit is a term for a kit used to restore or reconstruct a wrecked or dismantled truck or tractor unit. All glider kits include a frame, front axle, and body (cab). The kit may also contain other optional components.

A motor vehicle constructed from a glider kit is titled as a new vehicle in the United States. An exception to this is the state of Georgia where, when issued, for a tractor cab restored with a glider kit will always be branded "Rebuilt".

Glider truck
A glider truck is manufactured in the United States using a new frame from an original equipment manufacturer and a glider kit. A "pre-emissions" engine which does not meet current EPA emissions standards for a new tractor trailer may be installed. The required exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology is replaced by an older engine which doesn't have it, called a "pre-EGR engine."

Production of heavy duty glider trucks was estimated to be 10,000 in 2015, 4% of all sales. An Obama-era limit on production of 300 units yearly was lifted by the Trump administration. This change by the EPA was widely condemned by environmental groups and was withdrawn by Scott Pruitt's interim replacement facing the prospect of a likely loss in court.

Used glider
One can obtain a glider by modifying a used car. Parts removed from the vehicle include:

A/C & A/C condenser
Air intake/cleaner
Alternator
Battery
Brakes/Master cylinder
Clutch

Novorossiysk () was a conventionally powered aircraft carrier (heavy aircraft cruiser in Russian classification) that served the Soviet Navy and the Russian Navy from 1982 to 1993. She was the third  vessel to be built. She was designed to engage in offensive actions as a guided missile cruiser mostly using her deck mounted missiles as well as support anti-submarine and surface actions with her embarked air group.

History

Novorossiysk was laid down at the former Soviet Black Sea Shipyard in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, on 30 September 1975, launched on 24 December 1978, commissioned on 12 September 1982, and decommissioned in June 1993.  The third ship in her class, she served in the Soviet Pacific Fleet.

In March 1985, Novorossiysk and escorting battle group departed the Sea of Japan, sailed to the south of Okinawa and then east across the Pacific.  After approximately eight days, the ships turned and headed northwest toward the Kuril Islands, simulating an enemy carrier strike against the Soviet Union. As the Novorossiysk approached the islands, about  east of Japan, Soviet Bear bombers flew reconnaissance missions near the battle group and helped vector some 20 Backfire bombers to their targets, practising the Soviet strategy of bomber launched anti-ship missile warfare. A U.S. Navy description of the Novorossisysk exercise notes that "The force was hit by simulated air strikes and probably by submarines firing torpedoes and cruise missiles from 1,120km east of Japan, on 14 April. They came at it with submarines and aircraft--everything they had." The Novorossiysk made its last voyage in mid-1991 just before the break-up of the Soviet Union.

In 1995 the Novorossiysk hulk, which had suffered a serious engine room fire two years back, was sold for scrapping, and was broken up in 1997 at Pohang, South Korea.
