Baseball had its first appearance at the 1912 Summer Olympics as a demonstration sport. A game was played between the United States, the nation where the game was developed, and Sweden, the host nation. The game was held on Monday, 15 July 1912 and started at 10a.m. on the Ostermalm Athletic Grounds in Stockholm.

The Americans were represented by various members of the American Olympic track and field athletics delegation, while the Swedish team was the Vesterås Baseball Club, which had been formed in 1910 as the first baseball club in Sweden. Four of the Americans played for Sweden, as the Swedish pitchers and catchers were inexperienced. One Swede eventually relieved Adams and Nelson, the American pitchers.

Six innings were played, with the Americans not batting in the sixth and allowing the Swedes to have six outs in their half of the inning.

The game was umpired by George Wright, a retired American National League baseball player.

Josh Cordoba (born 29 January 1984) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played as a  for the Parramatta Eels and the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in the NRL, Hull F.C. in the Super League and the London Broncos in the Kingstone Press Championship.

Playing career
Cordoba debuted for Parramatta in round 1 of the 2006 NRL season against the Newcastle Knights.  Cordoba played in 14 first grade games in his rookie season, including the final eleven games of the season.

In the 2007 NRL season, Cordoba played nearly every game for Parramatta including the club's preliminary final defeat against Melbourne.

In the 2008 NRL season, Cordoba played 19 games as Parramatta finished a disappointing 11th on the table and missed out on the finals.  In the 2009 NRL season, Cordoba was limited to only 3 games and did not feature in the club's finals campaign or 2009 NRL Grand Final.  Midway through 2009, Cordoba signed a one-year contract to join Hull in the Super League.

In 2010, Cordoba signed for Cronulla-Sutherland.  In his two seasons at Cronulla, the club missed out on the finals.

At the end of the 2012 NRL season, Cordoba announced his retirement.

On 25 July 2014, Championship side London Broncos took Cordoba out of retirement with a two-year contract.

Cordoba holds a Spanish passport and therefore is not subject to the normal visa restrictions on Australian players heading to the UK.

Tropical Airplay is a chart published by Billboard magazine that ranks the top-performing songs (regardless of genre or language) on tropical radio stations in the United States, based on weekly airplay data compiled by Nielsen's Broadcast Data Systems. It is a subchart of Hot Latin Songs, which lists the best-performing Spanish-language songs in the country. In 1999, 11 songs topped the chart, in 52 issues of the magazine.

The first number one of the year was "El Cuerpo Me Pide" by Víctor Manuelle and Elvis Crespo from the Christmas compilation album Tarjeta de Navidad, Vol. 2 (1998). The song moved into the top spot in the issue dated January 9. It remained in the top spot for a week before being replaced by "Mi PC" by Juan Luis Guerra. Before its two-week stint at number one, "Mi PC" had previously topped the chart in the week ending December 12, 1998, spending a total of five weeks at number one.  Víctor Manuelle also had the final number one of 1999 with "Pero Dile", which was the longest-running number one of the year with nine weeks. Guerra achieved his second number one of the year with "Palomita Blanca". Jerry Rivera's "Ese" superseded "Mi PC", dominating the top spot for eight consecutive weeks and earning the distinction of being his fifth overall number one on the chart. "Ese" and "Déjate Querer" by Gilberto Santa Rosa had the longest continuous run at number one in 1999. 

Tito Rojas obtained his second and final chart-topper with his cover version of Pepe Aguilar's song "Por Mujeres Como Tú". Jennifer Lopez achieved her first number one on the Tropical Airplay chart with "No Me Ames", performed in collaboration with Marc Anthony, and was the sole female artist to attain the summit during the year. The salsa version of "No Me Ames", titled as the "tropical remix", was commercially released to tropical radio stations by Sony Discos. Marc Anthony achieved his 12th number one later in the year with "Dímelo", the Spanish-language version of "I Need to Know".

Hippo (; , Hippon; fl. 5th century BC) was a Pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. He is variously described as coming from Rhegium, Metapontum, Samos, and Croton, and it is possible that there was more than one philosopher with this name. 

Although he was a natural philosopher, Aristotle refused to place him among the other great Pre-Socratic philosophers "because of the paltriness of his thought." At some point Hippo was accused of atheism, but since his works have perished, we cannot be certain why. He was accused of impiety by the comic poet Cratinus in his Panoptae, and, according to Clement of Alexandria, Hippo supposedly ordered the following couplet to be inscribed on his tomb:

According to Hippolytus, Hippo held water and fire to be the primary elements, with fire originating from water, and then developing itself by generating the universe. Simplicius, too, says that Hippo thought that water was the principle of all things. Most of the accounts of his philosophy suggest that he was interested in biological matters. He thought that there is an appropriate level of moisture in all living things, and disease is caused when the moisture is out of balance. He also viewed the soul as arising from both mind and water. A medieval scholium on Aristophanes' The Clouds attributes to Hippo the view that the heavens were like the dome () of an oven covering the Earth.

Edward Thomas Harvey (15 November 1925–9 October 2012) was a British jazz musician (piano, trombone, arranger and educator). He was also the inspiration for the Richmond Canoe Club Walking Division.

Early life 
Eddie Harvey was born in Blackpool, England, but grew up in Sidcup, where he attended Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School. At the age of 16, he began studying engineering in nearby Crayford. At this time he also took his first professional job as a musician playing trombone with George Webb and his Dixielanders, a pioneering UK traditional jazz band which also featured Wally Fawkes and Humphrey Lyttelton.

Musical career 
After the Second World War, Harvey joined Freddy Randall and also began performing at Club Eleven in London with a number of young musicians — among them Ronnie Scott and John Dankworth — who were beginning to experiment with the bebop style that they had picked up from US musicians like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. When John Dankworth formed the Dankworth Seven in 1950, Harvey was a founder member and the percussionist vocalist Frank Holder was also featured in this group. Harvey stayed until 1953. Now performing on both piano and trombone, Eddie Harvey spent the 1950s performing and recording with a number of important UK jazz groups including bands led by Tubby Hayes, Vic Lewis, Don Rendell, and Woody Herman. He also began arranging for groups like Jack Parnell's Orchestra.

Jazz education 
From 1963 to 1972, Harvey was pianist with the Humphrey Lyttelton band. In the early 1970s, he also became interested in teaching jazz. His jazz piano course at the City Lit was one of the first jazz education courses in Europe, and led to his writing Teach Yourself Jazz Piano, which was published in the Teach Yourself series. After ten years teaching Music at Haileybury College in Hertfordshire, he accepted the newly created role of Head of Jazz at the London College of Music. Later teaching posts included the Guildhall and Royal Colleges of Music.

Wechselburg Priory, formerly Wechselburg Abbey (Kloster Wechselburg) is a Benedictine priory in Wechselburg in Saxony, dissolved in the 16th century and re-founded in 1993.

First foundation

Dedo V of Wettin founded the monastery, dedicated in 1168. Henry the Illustrious, Margrave of Meissen made a gift of it in 1278 to the Teutonic Order. In 1543 the abbey with all its possessions came into the hands of the territorial prince, Maurice, Elector of Saxony. It was eventually dissolved in 1570.

Castle

After the Thirty Years' War (1618–48) the lords of Schönburg built a Baroque castle (Schloss Wechselburg) on the foundations of the ruined abbey, which remained in the same family until their dispossession in 1945.

Second foundation

After the end of World War II the abbey church became the parish church and also a place of pilgrimage. In 1993 Benedictine monks from Ettal Abbey re-founded Wechselburg as a priory. Although the community is still small, they run a youth and family centre and are involved in pastoral care and managing the pilgrimages.

Because of its dependency on Ettal, Wechselburg is the only non-Bavarian monastery to be a member of the Bavarian Congregation of the Benedictine Confederation.

Basilica

The Romanesque basilica of the Holy Cross remains as the parish church. It is famous for its huge and intricately carved mediaeval rood screen.

The great Oulu fire of 1882 was a conflagration that started in the basement of the pharmacy on the corner of Kirkkokatu and Pakkahuoneenkatu on the evening of 2 November, destroying 27 buildings along Hallituskatu and Pakkahuoneenkatu in downtown Oulu, Finland, amongst them the city-owned Seurahuone. The basement was used to store gasoline and other flammable materials, which led to the fire quickly raging out of control. It headed towards the Oulu River and destroyed the salt and grain warehouses along its shoreline. The fire brigade, however, managed to keep the fire from spreading to the packhouse.

OVIVO Mobile was a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in the United Kingdom, using the Vodafone UK network as its carrier. OVIVO was unique in the UK in offering a free (£0 monthly fee) advertising-funded mobile tariff, which was financed by showing an advert in the user's web browser. They charged a nominal fee to cover admin and initial SIM setup costs, returning a portion as user credit upon activation.

OVIVO raised £414,000 in exchange for 25.48% equity via crowdfunding site Crowdcube.

The service closed down on Wednesday, 19 March 2014 without prior notice.

The firm's Twitter and Facebook accounts were deactivated the same day, and email attempts were bounced back.

There was a report that a dispute over network software led to the abrupt closure of the network.

The Ovivo website posted a warning to visitors that the website would be shut down on 10 April. The website and the ability to claim a PAC was taken down in June 2014.

Walter Linsenmaier (18 August 1917 – 31 October 2000) was a Swiss artist and entomologist. He was particularly known for his highly detailed illustrations of animals, plants, and insects which were widely published in magazines and books.  He was also one of the 20th century's most important experts on the cuckoo wasp (Chrysididae) and described over 600 new species and subspecies of the insect. Linsenmaier was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Bern in 1982 in recognition of his scientific and artistic achievements and the Ernst Jünger Prize for Entomology from the State of Baden-Württemberg in 1992.

Linsenmaier was born in Stuttgart, Germany, but his family moved to Switzerland when he was only a year old. He initially worked as stuccoist, the same trade as his father. He then earned a teaching degree in drawing and illustration from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and became a professional illustrator specialising in nature illustrations.  He wrote and illustrated several books, the most famous of which, Insects of the World with 1,888 illustrations, was published in 1972. In 1951 Linsenmaier and his father, who was also a talented taxidermist, established the Tierweltpanorama, a private museum with over 800 taxidermied animals from around the world displayed in their natural habitats. Linsenmaier died in Ebikon at the age of 83.

Floyd Alburn Firestone (1898–1986) was an acoustical physicist, who in 1940 while a professor at the University of Michigan invented the first practical ultrasonic testing method and apparatus. He was granted US Patent 2,280,226 for the invention in 1942. Manufactured by Sperry Corporation, the testing device was known variously as the Firestone-Sperry Reflectoscope, the Sperry Ultrasonic Reflectoscope, the Sperry Reflectoscope and sometimes also just as a Supersonic Reflectoscope, the name Firestone had originally coined for the instrument. The technology is not just used in quality control in factories to reject defective parts before shipment, but also revolutionized transportation safety. For example, ultrasonic testing is used for safety maintenance inspection of railroad cars, particularly axles and wheels, aircraft, particularly fuselages, and other transportation vessels for material fatigue. Dr. Firestone's ultrasonic pulse echo technique for metal defect testing was also later applied in medical diagnosis, giving birth to the field of Echocardiography and to the field of Medical Ultrasonography, generally. Dr. Firestone was the editor of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America from 1939 to 1957. Among Firestone's many other inventions in his field are in a single year an “automatic device for the minute inspection of flaws”, “a new and useful improvement in hook-up of electrical apparatus”, and “[a] device for measuring noise”, and, even, later a “musical typewriter”.

In 1933, Firestone proposed an alternative to the mechanical–electrical analogy of James Clerk Maxwell in which force is made the analogy of voltage (the impedance analogy).  Firestone's analogy (now called the mobility analogy) makes force the analogy of current.  In this work he introduced the concept of "through" and "across" variables and demonstrated that there were analogies for these variables in other energy domains, making it possible to treat a complex system as a unified whole in analysis.  Firestone's analogy became popular amongst mechanical filter designers because it has the property of preserving network topologies when transforming between the mechanical and electrical domains.

He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in January 1936. He was a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and its president from 1943 to 1945.
