Owosso Speedway is a , progressively banked oval short track located east of Ovid, Michigan, between Ovid and Owosso, further east.

Track history
In 1939 the Owosso Speedway opened as a  dirt oval. The track would operate until 1944 when it closed to serve as a POW Camp for captured German soldiers from World War II. These soldiers were housed on the Speedway facilities and were allowed out into the community to do small jobs for the locals.

 The track resumed racing in 1946 with a brand-new high banked  asphalt oval sharing a front stretch with the  mile. In 1953 the  mile was paved, while the  mile remained a dirt track. In 1960 the  mile would go dormant, as it was closed because the track was allegedly too fast to be insured.
 The  mile would be resurrected in 1963 and the facility would continue on that way until 1972 when the big track was paved to go along with the already paved little track.
 In 1983 the track was converted over to dirt, for the first time since 1952 the two tracks were both dirt. The Speedway would close in 1988–1989 when the Simko family converted the  and  mile tracks over to the current  oval.

Notable alumni
Benny Parsons – 1973 NASCAR Winston Cup Series Champion
Brad Keselowski – 2012 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion
Erik Jones – 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the year

Current operations
The Owosso Speedway currently races Saturday night from early-May through September. The weekly classes at the facility are the Pro Late Models, Modifieds  Sportsmans, Pure Stocks. 

The Speedway also features one Winged Sprint Car event a year along with one special event for the Outlaw Super Late Models every year.

McDonald Peak, elevation , is located in the U.S. state of Montana and is the highest peak in the Mission Mountains. McDonald Peak is situated within the Flathead Indian Reservation. The peak has the second greatest topographic prominence (after Crazy Peak) of all summits within Montana and is almost  away from the next highest mountain in the state. McDonald Glacier is on the north slope of the peak.

During the summer the summit and surrounding area are inhabited by grizzly bears for the purpose of feeding on insects. Consequently, in the interests of conservation and safety, the area is closed to hikers between July 15 and September 30.

Symbion pandora is a jug-shaped microscopic aquatic animal that dwells on the mouth-parts of Norway lobsters. The animals are less than ½ mm wide, with sac-like bodies, and three distinctly different forms in different parts of their three-stage life cycle.

Classification and naming
They are so unlike any known animal that its discovery by Danish scientists in 1995 led to the creation of a new phylum. The phylum Cycliophora, from the Greek for 'carrying a small wheel', was named after the creature's circular mouth. Two other members of that phylum have since been discovered.

Symbion refers to the animal's symbiotic relationship with its lobster host while the specific epithet pandora refers to the part of the organism's life cycle that reminded Funch and Christensen of the mythical Pandora's box.

Description
Symbion pandora has a bilateral, sac-like body with no coelom. There are three basic life stages:

Asexual feeding stage – At this stage, S. pandora is neither male nor female. It has a length of 347 μm and a width of 113 μm. On the posterior end of the sac-like body is a stalk with an adhesive disc, which attaches itself to the host. On the anterior end is a ciliated funnel (mouth) and an anus.
Sexual stage
Female – S. pandora has a length of 84 μm and a width of 42 μm during this stage. Its digestive system collapses and reconstitutes itself as a larva.
Male – S. pandora is the same size as the female in this stage. It has no mouth or anus, which signifies the absence of a digestive system. It also has two reproductive organs.

Reproduction
Symbion pandora can reproduce both asexually by budding and sexually. The sexual reproductive cycle is triggered when the host crustacean molts its skin in order to grow: a feeding stage buds a male, which attaches to another feeding stage and triggers it to bud a female, which it impregnates. The female is able to swim, and finds another host crustacean, where the larva in her develops. The female dies, and the larva escapes, spawning another feeding stage on the new host.

A lift table is a device that employs a scissors mechanism to raise or lower goods and/or persons.  Typically lift tables are used to raise large, heavy loads through relatively small distances. Common applications include pallet handling, vehicle loading and work positioning.  Lift tables are a recommended way to help reduce incidents of musculoskeletal disorders by correctly re-positioning work at a suitable height for operators. Lift tables lend themselves to being easily adapted to a specific use. They can work in hostile environments, be manufactured in stainless steel and have equipment like conveyors, turn-tables, barriers and gates easily added to their deckplates.

Use

Lift tables can come in a vast array of configurations and can be built to suit various highly specialized industrial processes.  The most common lift table design incorporates hydraulic cylinders and an electrically powered pump to actuate the scissor lifting mechanism.  Lift tables can also be driven by pneumatic sources, trapezoidal-threaded screw drives, push chains or by hydraulic foot pump when the load is not heavy.  Lift tables can be mounted in a pit for floor-level loading, especially useful for access by manual pallet-pump trucks and the mobility impaired or wheelchair users.

Industries that commonly use lift tables include woodworking, upholstered furniture manufacturing, metalworking, paper, printing and publishing, warehousing and distribution, heavy machinery and transportation.

Common uses
Common uses of lift tables include
 Vehicle loading and docking operations
 Mobility impaired access (see below)
 Work positioning and ergonomic handling
 Load positioning (e.g. when integrated into conveyor systems)
 Materials positioning in machine feeding applications
 Pallet and roll cage handling
 Furniture upholstery

Safety

Standards
In Europe there is a published standard BS EN 1570: 1998 + A2: 2009 Safety requirements for lifting tables.  Standard EN 1570-1 is now EN 15701-1:2011+A1:2014. It is a Type C standard and compliance with this standard confers conformity with the Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC. Work is already being undertaken to revise this standard and possibly split it into 3 parts.  It specifies the criteria for the raising and lowering of goods and/or persons associated with the movement of goods carried by lifting tables.  

In North America, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved and published the ANSI MH29.1:2012 standard in February 2012, itself a revision of the previous MH29.1:2008 standard.

Common accidents
The most common types of accidents involving a scissor lift caused by misapplication of the machine, obstacles, misuse of the equipment, and lack of maintenance.

Claude Céberet du Boullay (1647–1702) was a 17th-century French diplomat who participated in the La Loubère-Céberet embassy as "envoy extraordinary" to the kingdom of Siam (modern Thailand) in 1687. He was co-representative of the mission with the diplomat Simon de la Loubère.

Mission to Siam
In 1685, Céberet became one of the 12 Directors of the French East India Company. During the 1687 embassy to Siam, Céberet was put in charge of the commercial interests of France, and particularly those of the French East India Company. Céberet left from Brest with the embassy for Siam on 1 March 1687. The embassy sailed on board the warships L'oiseau (46 guns), Le Gaillard (52 guns), La Loire (24 guns), La Normande and Le Dromadaire.

The embassy arrived in Thailand in September and October 1687. An interview with the Siamese king Narai occurred on 2 November 1687. The mission achieved little more than the confirmation of the 1685 commercial treaty obtained by the Chevalier de Chaumont. It also seems that Père Tachard considerably interfered with the mission so as to render it useless. There were some important results on the military plane however, as the troops which had arrived with the mission occupied the cities of Bangkok and Mergui.

Return to France
In December 1687, Céberet left again for France first by going overland from Ayutthaya to the harbour of Mergui. He left on 4 January 1688 on the ship President for Pondicherry, which he reached on 25 January. 

While in Pondicherry, Céberet ordered the Governor of Pondicherry François Martin to send his son-in-law André Deslandes to found Company trade counters in the Bengal region. Deslandes left Pondicherry on 30 August 1688 and would found the counters of Balassor and Cassimbazar in 1689.

Back in France, after being intendant in Lorient, Céberet became intendant of Dunkirk. Claude Céberet died on 18 September 1702 and was buried in Dunkirk.

Sinhalisation is a term, derived from Sinhala, that has number of meanings in Sri Lanka. it is mainly the  assimilation into Sinhalese Culture in which the members of an ethno-cultural group  are steadily integrated  or  "absorbed" into  established  Sinhalese culture.

Sociological
In a sociological context it could refer to the assimilation of ethno-cultural minorities in Sri Lanka such as the Sri Lankan Tamils, Colombo Chetties and indigenous Veddas into the majority Sinhalese identity, including some Sinhala Buddhists of the interior such as the Demalagattara and some Catholics such as the Bharatha of the coastal areas of the island nation.

Many noted elite  families that had contributed to Sinhala nationalism had been of Tamil origin, Sinhalised in the recent past. (see abstract here)

Political
In a political context it could refer to the Sinhala language-favouring policies of the post colonial governments of Sri Lanka  that is considered to be a major cause of the Sri Lankan civil war. It is termed as culturo-ideological exclusivism by some when one's cultural values and norms are absolutised in such a manner that a particular way of life is enshrined as superior to all others and must therefore be adopted by others (e.g. the Tamil reaction to the perceived "Sinhalisation" processes of the Sri Lankan state)

It was said to be a cause of the abortive coup by disgruntled Catholic army officers in 1962.

Currently some observers note that Sri Lankan political parties such as JHU and JVP adhere to a policy of political Sinhalisation.

Other meanings
Medias use the word "Sinhalisation" to refer to the process by which the Sri Lankan government funded and sponsored settlement of Sinhala people in Tamil-dominant regions in order to make Tamil as minorities. Some reports claims that the Sinhalese and Sinhala military families are settled in houses built by money from the Indian government that was intended to improve the welfare of the Tamil people.

Notes

 

The ancestor of the Bandaranayke family was a 17th-century Tamil immigrant Pandaram; a non-Brahmin priest known as Neelaperumal Kalukapuge. The term 'Kalu' in Tamil is different in meaning to the Sinhalese meaning.

A similar process was witnessed in the Kandyan kingdom, where for example the ancestor of Pilimatalavuva Maha Adikaram and related families trace or claim ancestry from a Pandyan emperor of the late 17th century, though the Pandyan kingdom had seized to exist by the 15th century and the region was ruled by the Madurai Sultanate, the Vijayanagara Empire and the Nayak dynasties.

The Romans in their Decadence () is a painting by the French artist Thomas Couture, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1847, a year before the 1848 Revolution which toppled the July Monarchy. It was the most highly praised work at the Salon. Reminiscent of the style of Raphael, it is typical of the French 'classic' style between 1850 and 1900. It now belongs to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. It was etched by Edmond Hédouin (1820–1889).

It is the cover of the book "From Dawn to Decadence" of the French-American writer and teacher Jacques Barzun.
