Paradeisos is an archaeological site located in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace in Northern Greece, on a flat hilltop at the west bank of the river Nestos. The site is known today as 'Klisi Tepe', named after the ruins of a Byzantine church, and archaeological excavations were started by the Swedish Institute at Athens in 1975. To the north are the Rhodope Mountains, while to the south the river Nestos has created a large plain, that extends 30 km towards the Aegean Sea. The settlement was probably located closer to the coastline, which has since expanded.  The Via Egnatia, the Roman road connecting Durrës and Constantinople have crossed the river Nestos here at least since Hellenistic times (possibly following an earlier road).

History of excavations 
The archaeologist Rainer Felsch first encountered the site in 1972 and noted surface finds indicating the presence of human activity from the Late Neolithic period to the Bronze Age. Swedish archaeologists Erik J. Holmberg and Pontus Hellström travelled through the area of Paradeisos searching of potential excavation sites in 1975. Holmberg and Hellström had a special interest in the Late Bronze Age and believed Paradeisos to be the most promising site for this research. Excavations were conducted on this site in 1976 between September and October. Five small trenches were opened during the campaign with finding of approximately 400 kg of pottery and several figurines from the late Neolithic period. Holmberg and Hellström's original focus were on the Bronze Age in the region. However, it soon became clear that the remains at Paradeisos was mostly from the Late Neolithic period.

Description of the ancient remains 
During the fieldwork the primary find category was graphite painted pottery from the Late Neolithic period. The pottery consisted mostly of decorated bowls, jars with handles and large plates. In terms of decoration only the graphite ware was well preserved enough to show visible forms of patterns, which included lines, chevron patterns and triangular shaped eyes. Figurines discovered were all from Late Neolithic layers. Four of the figurines depicted humans and three represented animals. Another three fragments of figurines could not be identified. The human faces found vary in shape from oval or conical to a flat head with pierced ears. The animal figurines depict what may be a bear or a dog. The finds from the excavation are currently being stored in the Archaeological Museum of Kavala.

Landulf of Turin (died 1037) was an Italian bishop. He was bishop of Turin from 1011 until his death in 1037.

Life
According to Peter Damian, Landulf was an imperial chaplain, before Henry II appointed him bishop of Turin. 
One of Landulf's first acts as bishop of Turin was to confirm, and increase, the donations of his predecessor, Bishop Gezo of Turin, to the episcopal monastery of San Solutore in Turin. In January 1015, Landulf was in Rome, where he witnessed Pope Benedict VIII’s confirmation of the Abbey of Fruttuaria’s ‘apostolic liberty’. In 1017 Landulf made a donation to the episcopal convent of San Pietro in Turin. In 1022, Landulf was present at the synod of Pavia, presided over by Benedict VIII and Henry II.
Around 1028 Landulf worked with Ulric Manfred II of Turin, Bishop Alric of Asti, and Archbishop Aribert of Milan to combat heresy at Monforte.
Because the diocese of Turin had been devastated "not only by pagans, but also by perfidious Christians" (non solum a paganis verum etiam a perfidis christianis), Landulf pursued a policy of reconstruction during his episcopate. He restored the cathedral church of Turin, and built new churches and fortifications in Chieri, Testona, Rivalba, Piobesi, Piasco, Mathi, Mocoriadum and Tizanum. He also founded the monastery of Santa Maria in Cavour, which he endowed with property around Pinerolo.

The Battle of Bosra refers to a military operation launched by Syrian rebels during the Syrian Civil War, in order to capture the city of Bosra.

The battle
On 21 March 2015, the offensive was launched by rebels on Syrian Army positions in and around Bosra.

On 24 March 2015, rebels advanced in the town and besieged a number of soldiers in the ancient citadel, which the Army relieved after a counterattack. The Syrian Air Force launched 10 airstrikes on the town, while 30 barrel bombs were also dropped that day. The Army also fired rockets on the nearby Maaraba hospital, where injured rebels were being treated, which completely levelled the building.

On 25 March 2015, FSA rebels backed by Islamist factions captured the town and its UNESCO archaeological sites. According to a pro-government source, Army and militia units retreated from their positions in the town after the promised reinforcements were not deployed.

Aftermath
On 29 March, local clashes took place in Glen town between the Islamic Muthanna Movement and al-Sunna lions brigade after an "argument" occurred about dividing the seized weapons and ammunition from Bosra. One fighter from the Islamic Muthanna Movement was killed, while three fighters were injured from both sides in the clashes.

He played senior football in the TT Pro League for San Juan Jabloteh and Joe Public. His transfer between the clubs involved a five-figure transfer fee. He also played indoor football in the United States. He retired from playing in 2004.

International career
McComie represented Trinidad and Tobago under-20s at the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship. He earned five caps for the senior team. His international career was hampered by the availability of other Trinidadian goalkeepers such as Shaka Hislop, Ross Russell, Kelvin Jack and Clayton Ince.

Playing style
McComie was renowned for his playing forward of the traditional goalkeeper's position acting almost as a defensive sweeper at a time when relatively few goalkeepers chose to play the ball in the outfield; he also played on occasion as a midfielder or striker.

Coaching career
McComie worked as an assistant coach to the Trinidad and Tobago under-23 team before returning to Joe Public for the second time in July 2007. He was replaced by  Keith Griffith in July 2008, but continued to work with the Trinidad and Tobago under-17 team. While with Joe Public he won the TT Pro League Manager of the Year award. 

He also managed Ma Pau Stars, Guaya United and the Trinidad and Tobago under-20 team. He ended his career with FC Maracas in 2016.

Later life and death

Jenifer Estess (February 17, 1963 – December 16, 2003) was a Moline, Illinois-born theatre producer. She began her career as an actor after graduating from New York University with a B.A. in drama. 

Estess was a co-founder of Naked Angels theatre company in Manhattan; she was its producing director until 1993. She helped found the Nantucket Film Festival and the New York Women's Film Festival.

Her memoir, Tales from the Bed: Living, Dying and Having It All, was published posthumously in 2004, while a TV movie of her life had previously been aired on CBS in 2001, titled Jenifer, which starred Laura San Giacomo in the title role. Estess also started Project ALS, which raises funds for finding a cure for Lou Gehrig's disease, from which she suffered. She helped raise over $17,000,000 (USD) for the Project.

In 2000, Estess testified before Senator Arlen Specter’s sub-committee on Labor, Health, Human Services and Education. "My life and millions of others are in the hands of Congress. We are already seeing the incredible potential of stem cells to replace what is destroyed in ALS, but we need the federal government to mentor research along in the most responsible, humane way." Pointing out that, "non-profits like Project A.L.S. and private industry have started stem cell replacement on the right track," she urged Congress to "do the right thing and take us to the next level with this life-saving science."

Death
Jenifer Estess died from A.L.S. on December 16, 2003, aged 40, at her apartment in Manhattan.

Carnival Boy is the debut solo album by the former Guided by Voices member Tobin Sprout, released in 1996.

Production
The album was produced by Sprout. "The Bone Yard" is an instrumental track. GBV's Kevin Fennell played drums on the album; Sprout played all of the other instruments.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly called the album "more carefully crafted and compositionally linear but no less infectious" than Robert Pollard's Not in My Airforce, released at the same time. Rolling Stone deemed it "a collection of 14 pristinely crafted baubles, all in the manner of GBV's trippy, hard pop ... Of the two solo albums, Carnival Boy feels more vital, possibly because Sprout's musical voice isn't as familiar as Pollard's." Newsday thought that "the album's disposition goes from plaintive folksiness ('Gas Daddy Gas'), which gives way to a rave-up punker ('White Flyer') and back to a wistful bucketful of excuses ('I Didn't Know')." 

AllMusic wrote that "even though Sprout has a bit more focus than Pollard, Carnival Boy is still hit-and-miss, featuring as many rough pop gems as outright duds, but it does confirm that he is a talented songwriter in his own right." The Chicago Reader deemed the album "mellow, sentimental pop."
