Alice Deal (1877-1928) was an American educator who was the first female principal in the District of Columbia. The Alice Deal Middle School in Washington, D.C., USA, is named after her.

Education and career 
Deal attended the Women's College of Baltimore, now known as Goucher College, in Towson, Maryland, graduating in 1899. On February 11, 1908 she started teaching mathematics at the McKinley Manual Training School where she would remain until 1919, with a break for war service from October 2, 1918, until December 30, 1918. She then moved to Columbia Junior High School and became principal on March 6, 1920, and served as the head of the teachers' union. Deal was the first female principal in the District of Columbia.  Deal remained as principal until her death in 1928. Deal also organized and raised funds for the first summer high school in the area. The first summer school was held at the Friend's Select School. Deal served as principal for the summer school from 1916 until 1926.

Impact and honors 
Prior to Deal's activities, schooling consisted of eight years of elementary school and four years of high school. Deal advocated for change and the system became one with six years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of senior high school. After her death, the Alice Deal Memorial Association was established in 1928 with the first goal of the society to rename the Reno Junior High School the Alice Deal Junior High School. Construction of the school began in 1930. In 1932, a tribute to honor Deal was held at the school, which was renamed the Alice Deal Junior High School. During the ceremony, there was a tablet posted at the school, and multiple people spoke on the occasion and a photograph of Deal was unveiled during the ceremony. When the school first opened it was for white students only.

Alexandra (Alex) Matthews (born 3 August 1993) is an English rugby union player. She made her debut for England in 2011 and was a member of the winning 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup squad.

International career 
Matthews first played for England in 2011. In 2014 she was one of the youngest members of the England 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup squad, having played in the final versus Canada. Matthews had returned from a hip operation just two weeks pre-selection for the tournament to win a place on the team.

She played for the England 7s team, going semi-professional in 2013 and full-time in 2014 while completing her degree. In 2014 she was part of the training squad for the 2016 Olympic Games but was forced to leave three months before the Games due to illness and injury.

In 2017 she returned to England 15s as part of the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup squad, playing in every game. England finished second in the tournament. Matthews was named Player of the Match for the side's game against the USA.

She switched back to 7s again in 2018 to take Bronze at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and is currently on a hybrid contract between England's senior team and the Great Britain women's rugby 7s team that was meant to play at the 2020 Olympics, postponed due to COVID-19.

Matthews was named RPA Women's Sevens Player of the Year in 2018.

She played for England in the 2020 Women's Six Nations Championship, which the side won. She was named in the England squad for the delayed 2021 Rugby World Cup held in New Zealand in October and November 2022.

Club career 
Matthews joined Worcester Warriors in 2020 after the funding for the Women's 7s GB team was cut earlier that year.

She previously played for Richmond alongside her older sister, Fran Matthews. In 2014, Matthews won the Premiership and Cup with Richmond.

Early life and education 
She started playing rugby aged three at Camberley RFC, where she played minis rugby until she had to stop playing with the boys' U12 team, although she continued to train with the boys' team for a further two years. Her sister Fran Matthews also plays both sevens and fifteens rugby for England.

Matthews attended Kings International College secondary school and Hartpury College before completing a degree in Sports Psychology at Roehampton University alongside her rugby commitments. She worked as a part time carer between 2012 and 2015.

During the 2020 pandemic lockdown she spent time travelling the UK in her campervan.

Pomponianus was a Roman Senator who was present at Stabiae during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. He attempted to escape by ship, but was stuck on shore because the prevailing wind was not favorable.

His personal friend, the noted author and military commander Pliny the Elder, sailed from across the Bay of Naples to rescue him. Amidst the ongoing disaster, Pomponianus and Pliny waited in the town overnight for the wind to change, after which their party was forced to decide whether to remain inside and risk the collapse of the roof above them due to the build-up of falling pumice and ash, or to attempt to escape outside and risk being buried. Pliny the Elder subsequently died during the attempted escape.

Pomponianus was probably the son of Gaius Tullius Capito Pomponianus Plotius Firmus.

"Brazil" is a song by English singer, songwriter, and musician Declan McKenna. Written by McKenna and produced by Max Marlow, it was released as the lead single from McKenna's debut studio album, What Do You Think About the Car? on 4 December 2015.

Critical reception
After putting just one song on his Bandcamp page, around forty managers heard of the song and rushed to his next gig to try to sign him. The song was written about the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the dismal poverty in the country and the corruption surrounding Sepp Blatter and other FIFA officials. BBC News called the song an extraordinarily mature song for a 16-year-old songwriter. Matt Wilkinson at NME called it "one of the best songs" of 2015, he said, "This bright’n’breezy Hertfordshire teen's first track 'Brazil' was one of the best songs of last year, recalling Jamie T right at the start of his career and being easily the finest song to ever be written about corruption in football."

The song went viral on TikTok in May 2022, resulting in "Brazil" reaching new highest peaks in the charts in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Live performances
On 25 May 2016, McKenna performed the song live on the late-night talk show Conan, which was shown on TBS. He performed the song live at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend 2017 on the BBC Introducing Stage.

Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Brazil" was first released onto YouTube on 2 December 2014. The music video was directed by Dan Stokes.

Avalanche chess is a chess variant designed by Ralph Betza in 1977. After moving one of their own pieces, a player must move one of the opponent's pawns forward one square.

Game rules 
Rules are as normal chess except that after making a legal move, a player must move one of the opponent's pawns exactly one square forward (i.e. towards the player) to complete the turn. Capturing with an opponent's pawn is not permitted. If the opponent has no pawns or none can be moved, then that part of the turn is skipped. The pawn moved forward cannot be used by the opponent to capture en passant. If an opponent's pawn is moved to promotion, then the opponent chooses to what piece it promotes; if the promotion gives check, the opponent wins the game. If every legal pawn move forward gives check, then the opponent wins immediately, even if the player checked or mated the opponent previously that same turn.

Specifics regarding check  
 Check can be given on either or both halves of a player's turn. 
 A player in check must get out of check on the first half of their turn.
 A move into check is illegal even if moving an opponent's pawn on the second half of the turn would remove the check.

NGC 3516 is a barred lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Ursa Major. NGC 3516 is located about 150 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3516 is approximately 100,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on April 3, 1785.

Characteristics 
In 1943, this galaxy was one of six nebulae listed by American astronomer Carl Keenan Seyfert that showed broad emission lines in their nuclei. Members of this class of objects became known as Seyfert galaxies, and they were noted to have a higher than normal surface brightness in their nuclei. NGC 3516 is believed to host a supermassive black hole whose mass is estimated to be   based on broad emission-line reverberation mapping or   as measured based on velocity dispersion.

Due to its high brightness in both UV and X-rays, and its prominent and clear active galactic nucleus absorption features, it has been an ideal laboratory for studying the AGN warm-absorber outflows with high-resolution spectroscopy. Over the past few decades, there have been many UV and X-ray case studies of the ionized outflows in NGC 3516. NGC 3516 has been a remarkably variable AGN, showing changes in both the intrinsic continuum and the intrinsic absorption by the ionized outflows. In 2014, the broad lines almost disappeared, probably becoming obstructed, and thus the galaxy has been identified as a changing-look AGN, meaning it changed spectra between type 1 and type 2 AGN.

The galaxy has been found to emit radiowaves, with the source extending towards the north for about 0.65 arcseconds. That structure is a bit curved and probably is related to the gaseous outflow. A spiral dust feature measuring 3 arcseconds in diameter is visible north of the nucleus. A blue filamentary feature is visible northeast of the nucleus and another blue feature is visible 1.5 arcseconds southwest of the nucleus.

Nearby galaxies 
NGC 3516 is a relatively isolated galaxy. Near galaxies include NGC 3147 with its group that NGC 3155, UGC 5570, UGC 5686, and UGC 5689, NGC 3183, NGC 3348, and NGC 3364. Garcia identified NGC 3516 as a member of group that also includes the galaxies NGC 3348, and NGC 3364.

Labo M (2003) is the third studio album by French singer-songwriter Matthieu Chedid in his persona as -M-. It's an all-instrumental work which, considering that one of -M-'s trademarks had previously been his inventive wordplay, caused some degree of discontent amongst parts of his fan base. Remarkably successful for an instrumental work, the album entered the French charts at number 27 but proved to be a stopgap with the full studio album Qui de nous deux appearing later the same year.

The album's title meaning "M's Laboratory", is a pun on La Bohème as well as the name of Chedid's recording studio.

Operation Distant Plain was a series of non-nuclear explosive and detonable gas tests performed on test sites in Alberta, Canada, during the course of 1966 and 1967. Their purpose was to provide airblast, cratering, and ground shock data in summer and winter conditions for testing new prototype equipment, military targets and coniferous forest blowdown, and defoliation.

Participants included Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States under the Tripartite Technical Cooperation Program. Detonable gas balloons were used in this operation in an attempt to find an economical substitute for TNT as well as for the fact that they could be placed at desired heights without a heavy support structure or towers. In addition, they were more adaptable to airblast phenomena and produced a well defined blast wave without perturbation or ejecta; they also produced no crater. However, it was found that they lacked the high pressure associated with high explosives, and difficulties were encountered as the 20-ton gas balloon ruptured and another detonated unexpectedly during inflation. Ultimately ANFO was elected as a lower cost alternative to TNT for non-nuclear explosives tests.
