Fawkes

Fawkes is a surname of Norman-French origin, first appearing in the British Isles after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The surname may be a corruption of the Norman surname Vaux, which means valley. Notably, Guy Fawkes was sometimes recorded as Guy Vaux. An alternative origin for the surname is that it originates from the pre-6th century Germanic given name of Falco (later Faulques) meaning "falcon". The first recorded spelling of the surname in England is that of one Geoffrey Faukes in 1221. It is also, less frequently, a given name. People Surname Barbara Fawkes (1914–2002), British nurse and nursing educator Chris Fawkes, BBC weather forecaster Francis Fawkes (1721–1777), English poet and translator Frederick Fawkes (1870–1936), British Conservative Party politician George Fawkes (1903-1967), British admiral Guy Fawkes (1570–1606), English revolutionary Isaac Fawkes (1675?-1732), English conjurer and showman John Fawkes (born 1933), English cricketer Marion Fawkes (born 1948), First official female racewalking world champion Randol Fawkes (1924–2000), Bahamian civil rights activist, author, musician Richard Fawkes (born 1944), British writer and director Wally Fawkes (born 1924), British-Canadian jazz clarinetist and cartoonist Walter Fawkes (1769–1825), British landowner and politician, patron of painter J.

Coochee

Coochee, coochie or coochi is a term often used as a slang descriptor often used in relation to a belly dance and related types of movement. Most commonly, "coochie" is used as a cute or slang word for a vagina. In dance and related uses The term is a slang descriptor often used in relation to a belly dance or wiggling, as in "Coochie Coochie dance", "Hoochee-Coochee", and the saying "coochee coochee coo" when tickling an infant. It is also used as sexually suggestive slang in the Southern United States, referring to the vagina. It may trace back to a song performed at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair by a dancer named Little Egypt, who was filmed in 1896 by Thomas Edison for the Coochee Coochee Dance film short. The song was created by Sol Bloom. One explanation of the etymology attributes it to the French word coucher, meaning to lie down. Another possible root is the Central American and Caribbean Spanish chocha, likewise a slang term for the vulva, possibly derived from the Mexican panocha, yet another slang term for the vulva, in metaphoric transference from the cones of brown sugar sold in Mexican markets. After the sexually provocative dance became wildly popular during and after the World's Fair, the term "hoochie coochie man" came to refer to someone who either watched the performer(s) or ran the show. Alternatively, from the directly sexual meaning of "hoochie coochie", the term referred to someone who greatly enjoyed sexual intercourse. The erotic dancing was popular in film booths and was a precursor of the striptease. In music Various folk and popular songs including the term have been recorded, including an Alabama folk song, "Coochi Coochi Coo" by Ella Fitzgerald, the song "Coochie Coo", and 2 Live Crew's "Pop That Coochie". In literature In the 1996 play The Vagina Monologues, "coochi", as in "my coochi snorcher", is one of the slang terms for the vagina. The form "coochi" is derived from the more common "coochie" of the early 1990s.

Faegre Baker Daniels

Faegre Baker Daniels LLP (), also known as FaegreBD, is a full-service international law firm, and one of the 75 largest law firms headquartered in the United States. The firm, which has a strong presence in the Midwestern United States, was formed on January 1, 2012, as the combination of Faegre & Benson LLP and Baker & Daniels LLP. Faegre & Benson was established in Minneapolis in 1886 (originally as "Cobb & Wheelwright") and had grown to be the largest law firm in the Twin Cities. Baker & Daniels was established in Indianapolis as Hendricks & Hord in 1863, and became the second-largest firm in Indiana (behind competing Barnes & Thornburg). The two firms combined on January 1, 2012, and began business operations as Faegre Baker Daniels LLP. As a full-service international law firm, Faegre Baker Daniels LLP provides legal counseling and litigation to a wide range of clients across many practice areas. In addition, Faegre Baker Daniels Consulting, the firm's national advisory and advocacy practice, advises clients public and private clients with interdisciplinary consulting services. The combined firm employs more than 800 lawyers and consultants in offices throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. In February 2020, it completed a merger with Drinker, Biddle & Reath, becoming Faegre Drinker. History Faegre Baker Daniels was formed in 2012 by the combination of two Midwest firms, each with its own history stretching back more than a century. Faegre & Benson Faegre & Benson was founded in Minneapolis as Cobb & Wheelwright during 1863 by Albert Cobb and John Wheelwright. The two men had studied law together at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. It was not until decades later that John Barthell Faegre and John Benson, who would become namesakes of the firm, joined the practice. John Benson became a partner in 1914, after serving as a clerk. In 1923, George Hoke, Claude Krause and John Barthell Faegre joined the firm, which was renamed Cobb, Wheelwright Hoke & Benson. Following the accidental death of Wheelwright in 1927, the firm became Cobb, Hoke, Benson, Krause & Faegre. Faegre and Benson, who first met in 1909 as opposing players in a college football game, became up-and-coming leaders of the firm. When Hoke and two associates departed in 1938, the firm was reorganized as Faegre, Benson & Krause. On the death of Krause the following year, it became Faegre & Benson in 1940. The firm grew modestly until 1959, when a reorganization of the firm's management structure and new strategic initiatives put the firm on a growth path. That growth was accompanied by changes in the needs of its clients and the evolution of global business. As a result, new practices emerged in areas such as health care, intellectual property and mass tort. Faegre & Benson opened Colorado offices in Boulder and Denver in 1985. In 1990, Faegre & Benson became the first national law firm to establish an office in Des Moines, Iowa. Then, the firm opened an office in London in 1995 and an office in Shanghai in 2001. By the time it announced its merger with Baker & Daniels, it had already become the largest law firm in Minnesota and had been one of the 100 largest law firms in the United States, with well-known clients such as Target, Pfizer, Wells Fargo and 3M. Baker & Daniels Baker & Daniels was founded as Hendricks & Hord in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1863. Then-U.S. Senator Thomas A. Hendricks, who later served as Governor of Indiana and Vice President of the United States under Grover Cleveland, partnered with Oscar Hord, a former Indiana Attorney General, to create the new firm. The first Baker at the firm was Conrad Baker, who also served as Governor of Indiana. Later, Albert Baker, the son of Conrad Baker, and Edward Daniels, the first Daniels at the firm, joined the practice. After going through several name changes, the firm became known as Baker & Daniels in 1888. After that, Joseph Daniels, the son of Edward Daniels, joined the firm. Through the years, Baker & Daniels has expanded. In 1976, the firm established an office in Washington, D.C. The Fort Wayne, Indiana, office opened in 1983. In the 1990s, Baker & Daniels continued to expand. The South Bend, Indiana, office opened in 1990, followed by the Elkhart, Indiana, office in 1993. In 1998, the firm’s first overseas office was opened in China. In 2000, Baker & Daniels opened its 96th Street office in Indianapolis. As part of a long-term growth strategy, Baker & Daniels consolidated its practices in North Central Indiana into a regional model in 2007 by transferring operations in Elkhart to the South Bend office. Then in 2008, the firm opened a new South Bend office. Baker & Daniels expanded its presence in Chicago with the opening of a new law office in 2008. While Baker & Daniels was expanding the reach of its legal practice, it was also extending the scope of its services with various consulting practices, which would eventually become Faegre Baker Daniels Consulting following the combination of the two law firms. Sagamore Associates (also known over time as Gogol & Associates or B&D Sagamore) was formed in Washington, D.C. in 1985 to assist the firm's clients with federal relations issues. In the 1990s, a second subsidiary company called Capitol Direct (later B&D Quorum) was formed in D.C. to assist clients through grassroots advocacy, direct marketing and public affairs efforts. At the turn of the millennium, a third consulting practice was added when Baker & Daniels formed Aventor, a global medical technology consulting firm. Each of these three practices were combined in 2006 to create one company, B&D Consulting. B&D Consulting expanded its national services to the property tax industry with the addition of the B&D Equity Property Tax Group in Chicago. Notable lawyers associated with the legacy firm Baker & Daniels have included Evan Bayh was a Baker & Daniels partner before his election to the U.S. Senate. Other former partners include Stephen Goldsmith, former Mayor of Indianapolis; Pam Carter, the first African-American female State Attorney General in the country; and Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, a firm partner before taking a senior position at Eli Lilly and Company. One former partner is and another was a Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court. Jack Swarbrick, a former Baker & Daniels partner, became athletic director at the University of Notre Dame in 2008, and Fred Glass, another former partner at Baker & Daniels, became athletic director at Indiana University at the start of 2009. Combination and Beyond Faegre & Benson and Baker & Daniels were not immune to the 2008–2012 global recession, which led to changes in the legal economy. Firms like Faegre & Benson and Baker & Daniels had to resort to salary cuts, reduced or delayed hiring and even staff layoffs in some cases. While the firms weathered the storm, they began to explore ways to adapt to the changing legal market and, on August 11, 2011, the two firms announced they were exploring a potential combination. The combination was approved two months later and on January 1, 2012, Faegre & Benson and Baker & Daniels began business operations as Faegre Baker Daniels LLP. The combination was presented as a merger of equals - the combined firm has no official "headquarters" and the leaders of each legacy firm retained a management role. Legacy Faegre chair Andrew Humphrey became managing partner of the combined firm, while legacy Baker & Daniels CEO Thomas Froehle, Jr. became its chief operating partner. Nonetheless, legacy Faegre - the larger firm - was reputed to be the "dominant" firm in the merger. On July 1, 2013, Faegre Baker Daniels opened a Silicon Valley office, the firm's first new location since the January 2012 merger. The office is located in East Palo Alto, California, and is initially offering intellectual property services. Faegre Baker Daniels has announced plans to add food and agriculture litigation, immigration and privacy law capabilities to the office in the future. In March 2017, Faegre Baker Daniels opened a Los Angeles office, the firm's newest location. The office offers business, employment, intellectual property and product liability litigation and consulting. Faegre Baker Daniels reportedly represented USA Gymnastics in the investigation of former team doctor Larry Nassar and participated in reporting Nassar to the FBI during the summer of 2015. Practice areas Legal Practice Faegre Baker Daniels is a full-service law firm, with lawyers specializing in the following areas of law, among others: Corporate Environmental ERISA, Benefits & Executive Compensation Finance & Restructuring Government Intellectual Property Labor & Employment Litigation & Advocacy Real Estate & Construction Regulatory Tax Wealth Management Faegre Baker Daniels Consulting The firm also includes Faegre Baker Daniels Consulting, a division based in Washington, D.C. that acts as a national advisory and advocacy firm. Originally formed in 1985 to act as a full-service lobbying group, it became an important division of legacy firm Baker & Daniels as its scope grew to include grassroots advocacy, direct marketing and public affairs efforts, global medical technology consulting and advice on property tax issues. During this time, the group underwent various name changes (including Gogol & Associates, Sagamore Associates and B&D Consulting). The division was finally rebranded FaegreBD Consulting in connection with the 2012 combination, and now includes approximately fifty professionals who provide interdisciplinary services for private and public sector clients across the country from offices in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Indianapolis. FaegreBD Consulting markets expertise in the following sectors: Communities & Local Governments Economic Development Energy & Environment Equity Property Tax Federal Government Relations Health & Biosciences Higher Education Insurance & Financial Services Sports Strategic Communications Size and Reach Faegre Baker Daniels has more than 750 legal and consulting professionals in fifteen offices worldwide.

Monoidal functor

In category theory, monoidal functors are functors between monoidal categories which preserve the monoidal structure. More specifically, a monoidal functor between two monoidal categories consists of a functor between the categories, along with two coherence maps—a natural transformation and a morphism that preserve monoidal multiplication and unit, respectively. Mathematicians require these coherence maps to satisfy additional properties depending on how strictly they want to preserve the monoidal structure; each of these properties gives rise to a slightly different definition of monoidal functors The coherence maps of lax monoidal functors satisfy no additional properties; they are not necessarily invertible. The coherence maps of strong monoidal functors are invertible. The coherence maps of strict monoidal functors are identity maps. Although we distinguish between these different definitions here, authors may call any one of these simply monoidal functors. Definition Let and be monoidal categories. A monoidal functor from to consists of a functor together with a natural transformation between functors and a morphism , called the coherence maps or structure morphisms, which are such that for every three objects , and of the diagrams ,    and    commute in the category . Above, the various natural transformations denoted using are parts of the monoidal structure on and . Variants The dual of a monoidal functor is a comonoidal functor; it is a monoidal functor whose coherence maps are reversed. Comonoidal functors may also be called opmonoidal, colax monoidal, or oplax monoidal functors. A strong monoidal functor is a monoidal functor whose coherence maps are invertible. A strict monoidal functor is a monoidal functor whose coherence maps are identities. A braided monoidal functor is a monoidal functor between braided monoidal categories (with braidings denoted ) such that the following diagram commutes for every pair of objects A, B in : A symmetric monoidal functor is a braided monoidal functor whose domain and codomain are symmetric monoidal categories. Examples The underlying functor from the category of abelian groups to the category of sets. In this case, the map sends (a, b) to ; the map sends to 1. If is a (commutative) ring, then the free functor extends to a strongly monoidal functor (and also if is commutative). If is a homomorphism of commutative rings, then the restriction functor is monoidal and the induction functor is strongly monoidal. An important example of a symmetric monoidal functor is the mathematical model of topological quantum field theory, which has been recently developed. Let be the category of cobordisms of n-1,n-dimensional manifolds with tensor product given by disjoint union, and unit the empty manifold. A topological quantum field theory in dimension n is a symmetric monoidal functor The homology functor is monoidal as via the map . Properties If is a monoid object in , then is a monoid object in . Monoidal functors and adjunctions Suppose that a functor is left adjoint to a monoidal . Then has a comonoidal structure induced by , defined by and . If the induced structure on is strong, then the unit and counit of the adjunction are monoidal natural transformations, and the adjunction is said to be a monoidal adjunction; conversely, the left adjoint of a monoidal adjunction is always a strong monoidal functor. Similarly, a right adjoint to a comonoidal functor is monoidal, and the right adjoint of a comonoidal adjunction is a strong monoidal functor.

Mdm2

Mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) also known as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Mdm2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MDM2 gene. Mdm2 is an important negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor. Mdm2 protein functions both as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that recognizes the N-terminal trans-activation domain (TAD) of the p53 tumor suppressor and as an inhibitor of p53 transcriptional activation. Discovery and expression in tumor cells The murine double minute (mdm2) oncogene, which codes for the Mdm2 protein, was originally cloned, along with two other genes (mdm1 and mdm3) from the transformed mouse cell line 3T3-DM. Mdm2 overexpression, in cooperation with oncogenic Ras, promotes transformation of primary rodent fibroblasts, and mdm2 expression led to tumor formation in nude mice. The human homologue of this protein was later identified and is sometimes called Hdm2. Further supporting the role of mdm2 as an oncogene, several human tumor types have been shown to have increased levels of Mdm2, including soft tissue sarcomas and osteosarcomas as well as breast tumors. The MDM2 oncoprotein ubiquitinates and antagonizes p53 but may also carry out p53-independent functions. MDM2 supports the Polycomb-mediated repression of lineage-specific genes, independent of p53. MDM2 depletion in the absence of p53 promoted the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells and diminished clonogenic survival of cancer cells. Most of the MDM2-controlled genes also responded to the inactivation of the Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) and its catalytic component EZH2. MDM2 physically associated with EZH2 on chromatin, enhancing the trimethylation of histone 3 at lysine 27 (H3K27)and the ubiquitination of histone 2A at lysine 119 (H2AK119) at its target genes. Removing MDM2 simultaneously with the H2AK119 E3 ligase Ring1B/RNF2 further induced these genes and synthetically arrested cell proliferation. An additional Mdm2 family member, Mdm4 (also called MdmX), has been discovered and is also an important negative regulator of p53. MDM2 is also required for organ development and tissue homeostasis because unopposed p53 activation leads to p53-overactivation-dependent cell death, referred to as podoptosis. Podoptosis is caspase-independent and, therefore, different from apoptosis. The mitogenic role of MDM2 is also needed for wound healing upon tissue injury, while MDM2 inhibition impairs re-epithelialization upon epithelial damage. In addition, MDM2 has p53-independent transcription factor-like effects in nuclear factor-kappa beta (NFκB) activation. Therefore, MDM2 promotes tissue inflammation and MDM2 inhibition has potent anti-inflammatory effects in tissue injury. So, MDM2 blockade had mostly anti-inflammatory and anti-mitotic effects that can be of additive therapeutic efficacy in inflammatory and hyperproliferative disorders such as certain cancers or lymphoproliferative autoimmunity, such as systemic lupus erythematosus or crescentic glomerulonephritis. Ubiquitination target: p53 The key target of Mdm2 is the p53 tumor suppressor. Mdm2 has been identified as a p53 interacting protein that represses p53 transcriptional activity. Mdm2 achieves this repression by binding to and blocking the N-terminal trans-activation domain of p53. Mdm2 is a p53 responsive gene—that is, its transcription can be activated by p53. Thus when p53 is stabilized, the transcription of Mdm2 is also induced, resulting in higher Mdm2 protein levels. E3 ligase activity The E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 is a negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. MDM2 binds and ubiquitinates p53, facilitating it for degradation. p53 can induce transcription of MDM2, generating a negative feedback loop. Mdm2 also acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, targeting both itself and p53 for degradation by the proteasome (see also ubiquitin). Several lysine residues in p53 C-terminus have been identified as the sites of ubiquitination, and it has been shown that p53 protein levels are downregulated by Mdm2 in a proteasome-dependent manner. Mdm2 is capable of auto-polyubiquitination, and in complex with p300, a cooperating E3 ubiquitin ligase, is capable of polyubiquitinating p53. In this manner, Mdm2 and p53 are the members of a negative feedback control loop that keeps the level of p53 low in the absence of p53-stabilizing signals. This loop can be interfered with by kinases and genes like p14arf when p53 activation signals, including DNA damage, are high. Structure and function The full-length transcript of the mdm2 gene encodes a protein of 491 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 56kDa. This protein contains several conserved structural domains including an N-terminal p53 interaction domain, the structure of which has been solved using x-ray crystallography. The Mdm2 protein also contains a central acidic domain (residues 230-300). The phosphorylation of residues within this domain appears to be important for regulation of Mdm2 function. In addition, this region contains nuclear export and import signals that are essential for proper nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking of Mdm2. Another conserved domain within the Mdm2 protein is a zinc finger domain, the function of which is poorly understood. Mdm2 also contains a C-terminal RING domain (amino acid residues 430-480), which contains a Cis3-His2-Cis3 consensus that coordinates two ions of zinc. These residues are required for zinc binding, which is essential for proper folding of the RING domain. The RING domain of Mdm2 confers E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and is sufficient for E3 ligase activity in Mdm2 RING autoubiquitination. The RING domain of Mdm2 is unique in that it incorporates a conserved Walker A or P-loop motif characteristic of nucleotide binding proteins, as well as a nucleolar localization sequence. The RING domain also binds specifically to RNA, although the function of this is poorly understood. Regulation There are several known mechanisms for regulation of Mdm2. One of these mechanisms is phosphorylation of the Mdm2 protein. Mdm2 is phosphorylated at multiple sites in cells. Following DNA damage, phosphorylation of Mdm2 leads to changes in protein function and stabilization of p53. Additionally, phosphorylation at certain residues within the central acidic domain of Mdm2 may stimulate its ability to target p53 for degradation. HIPK2 is a protein that regulates Mdm2 in this way. The induction of the p14arf protein, the alternate reading frame product of the p16INK4a locus, is also a mechanism of negatively regulating the p53-Mdm2 interaction. p14arf directly interacts with Mdm2 and leads to up-regulation of p53 transcriptional response. ARF sequesters Mdm2 in the nucleolus, resulting in inhibition of nuclear export and activation of p53, since nuclear export is essential for proper p53 degradation. Inhibitors of the MDM2-p53 interaction include the cis-imidazoline analog nutlin. Levels and stability of Mdm2 are also modulated by ubiquitylation. Mdm2 auto ubiquitylates itself, which allows for its degradation by the proteasome. Mdm2 also interacts with a ubiquitin specific protease, USP7, which can reverse Mdm2-ubiquitylation and prevent it from being degraded by the proteasome. USP7 also protects from degradation the p53 protein, which is a major target of Mdm2. Thus Mdm2 and USP7 form an intricate circuit to finely regulate the stability and activity of p53, whose levels are critical for its function. Interactions Mdm2 has been shown to interact with: ABL1, ARRB1, ARRB2, CCNG1, CTBP1, CTBP2, DAXX, DHFR, EP300, ERICH3, FKBP3, FOXO4, GNL3, HDAC1, HIF1A, HTATIP, IGF1R, MDM4, NUMB, P16, P53, P73, PCAF, PSMD10, PSME3, RPL5, RPL11, PML, RPL26, RRM2B, RYBP, TBP, and UBC. Mdm2 p53-independent role Mdm2 overexpression was shown to inhibit DNA double-strand break repair mediated through a novel, direct interaction between Mdm2 and Nbs1 and independent of p53. Regardless of p53 status, increased levels of Mdm2, but not Mdm2 lacking its Nbs1-binding domain, caused delays in DNA break repair, chromosomal abnormalities, and genome instability. These data demonstrated Mdm2-induced genome instability can be mediated through Mdm2:Nbs1 interactions and independent from its association with p53.

Besharmi Ki Height

Besharmi Ki Height is a Hindi song from the 2014 Bollywood film, Main Tera Hero. Composed by Sajid-Wajid, the song is sung by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade, with lyrics penned by Kumaar. The music video of the peppy dance track features actors Varun Dhawan and Ileana D'Cruz. Background The song is composed by Sajid–Wajid and rendered by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade. The producers of the film capitulating on the popularity of the song "Palat – Tera Hero Idhar Hai" from the soundtrack attached a remix version of it along with the theatrical prints of Ragini MMS 2 which released on 21 March 2014—instead of the theatrical trailer—marking the first such instance. Some critics compared the track, "Palat – Tera Hero Idhar Hai" to the 1981 song, "Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai" from the soundtrack of the film, Kaalia. Talking about the resemblance, Sajid stated: "I won't deny any influence in our work, but I am not sure to what extent it goes". According to him the lyrics and the vibe of the song are similar, though the tune is different. The song was talked for its similarity with many tracks performed by Govinda. The song is directed by David Dhawan who is contributed by his elder son, Rohit. The lyrics of the song is penned by Kumaar who stated; " To crack this very simple yet catchy and populist vibe is hard, and I don't understand the game of hits and flops". Additional lyrics of the song is penned by Danish Sabri. Since the song required Dhawan to involve a lot of heavy duty steps on the ground with body weight balanced on the hands solely and to avoid any injuries to his wrist and hand, he suggested wearing biker's gloves. The promotional released music video features, Nargis Fakhri through various snippets from the film and songs like "Galat Baat Hai" and "Shanivaar Raat". However the video used in the movie, features Varun Dhawan and Ileana D'Cruz with no frames of Fakhri. In the music video of the song, he dances in the middle of a basketball court, on a wall and even while hanging from an artificial climbing rockface. The song starts as Dhawan tries wooing Ileana on a college campus who is then accompanied by a bunch of guys, showing some Bollywood dance moves. Release and response A 15-second teaser of the song was released on YouTube handle of T-Series, on 26 February 2014. The promotional music video of the song was uploaded on 28 February 2014. The full version of the audio track was released digitally on 3 March 2014, in the soundtrack of the album. Talking about the popularity of the song, Ileana D'Cruz said; "Songs are such an important part of the film. I am very happy and surprised that 'Palat' became a big hit". Regarding the success of the song, Varun Dhawan commented: "While promoting the film in various cities, I was inundated with requests to dance on Palat. In Indore, when we asked the crowd to select a track, this song was the unanimous choice. They went berserk when it was played". Critical reception Joginder Tuteja from Rediff.com felt the song has "catchy beats and a foot-tapping rhythm", calling it as "the height of the masala score". Devesh Sharma from Filmfare talked about the resemblance of the song with the RD Burman's composition and commented: "Singh sings it in full Kishore Kumar mode and you can’t help but smile at the nostalgic feel that it provides as well is own comic resonance". Bollywood Hungama's Rajiv Vijayakar called Arijit Singh a "revelation", who further stated: "This is terrain he has never been visualized in before, and the singer shines".

Donegal Castle

Donegal Castle () is a castle situated in the centre of Donegal Town in County Donegal in Ulster, Ireland. For most of the last two centuries, the majority of the buildings lay in ruins but the castle was almost fully restored in the early 1990s. The castle consists of a 15th-century rectangular keep with a later Jacobean style wing. The complex is sited on a bend in the River Eske, near the mouth of Donegal Bay, and is surrounded by a 17th-century boundary wall. There is a small gatehouse at its entrance mirroring the design of the keep. Most of the stonework was constructed from locally sourced limestone with some sandstone. The castle was the stronghold of the O'Donnell clan, Lords of Tír Conaill and one of the most powerful Gaelic families in Ireland from the 5th to the 16th centuries. History Donegal (), translates as Fort of the Foreigner possibly coming from a Viking fortress in the area destroyed in 1159. However, due to hundreds of years of development, no archaeological evidence of this early fortress has been found. Red Hugh O’Donnell (Red Hugh I), wealthy chief of the O’Donnell clan, built the castle in 1474. At the same time, he and his wife Nuala built a Franciscan monastery further down the river. A local legend tells of a tunnel connecting the two but no evidence for this has been found. The castle was regarded as one of the finest Gaelic castles in Ireland. This was indicated by a report by the visiting English Viceroy, the Lord Deputy of Ireland, Sir Henry Sidney, in 1566, in a letter to William Cecil (created The 1st Baron Burghley in 1571), the Lord High Treasurer, describing it as "the largest and strongest fortress in all Ireland", adding: "it is the greatest I ever saw in an Irishman's hands: and would appear to be in good keeping; one of the fairest situated in good soil and so nigh a portable water a boat of ten tonnes could come within ten yards of it" In 1607, after the Nine Years war the leaders of the O'Donnell clan left Ireland in the Flight of the Earls. In 1611, during the Plantation of Ulster, the castle and its lands were granted to an English Captain, Basil Brooke. The towerhouse was severely damaged by the departing O'Donnells to prevent the castle being used against the Gaelic clans but was quickly restored by its new owners. Brooke also added windows, a gable and a large manor-house wing to the keep, all in the Jacobean style. The Brooke family owned the castle up until the 1670s, when they moved to near Lisnaskea in County Fermanagh. At that time, in the 1670s, the Brookes sold the castle to the Gore dynasty, who later became Earls of Arran in the Peerage of Ireland. The castle fell into a ruinous state under the Gores in the early 18th century. In 1898, the then owner, The 5th Earl of Arran, vested the castle in the care of The Office of Public Works. Restoration In the early 1990s, the castle was partially restored by The Office of Public Works (The O.P.W.). The towerhouse has had new roofing and flooring added, in keeping with the original styles and techniques used in the 15th and 17th centuries. The stonework has been restored and the manor wing has been partially roofed. Some of the oak timbers used came from the Colebrooke Estate, just outside Brookeborough in County Fermanagh. Parts of the exterior of the towerhouse have been harled. The castle is now open to the public and often hosts events such as Gaelic cultural evenings or Ulster-Scots events.

Graves de Vayres

Graves de Vayres is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for red and white wines in the Bordeaux wine region of France. It covers across the Vayres and Arveyres communes and is located within the Entre-Deux-Mers subregion of Bordeaux. History Several sharpened pieces of flint dating back to the Paleolithic period have been found within the Graves de Vayres appellation. The wine region itself dates back to the Gallo-Roman age. Vayres is situated on the Dordogne, near the Voie impériale, a Roman road that runs from Bordeaux to Périgueux. The Emperor Octavius understood the strategic importance of this place, and based a garrison here under the command of Varius, who would leave the name Vayres (varatedo) to the village. From the mid-19th Century, red and white wines from the Graves de Vayres appellation were renowned, as Cocks and Féret mention in Bordeaux et ses vins ("Bordeaux and its wines"): Numerous documents are still around today concerning a sufficient amount of winegrowers to form a collective use of the appellation "Graves de Vayres". It is mentioned in the price lists of Horeau Beylot et Cie (1890), Jacquet et Fils (1895) and Legendre et Cie (1898), as well as in price lists of Libournais traders. The name is also used in the inventory and trade records of numerous Bordeaux wine houses, and began appearing on printed labels in 1904. The exposition of a Monsieur Béchaud at the Bordeaux Wine Market in November 1909 again indicates the existence of the Graves de Vayres appellation. On 3 January 1962, the Winemakers' Union of Graves de Vayres was formed. It decided, by virtue of local, loyal and constant use, to include the gravelly soils of the Arveyres plateau, along with those of Vayres, in the appellation area of Graves de Vayres. This winemakers' union was among the first to appear in Gironde, and in 1966, it established the institution of quality control checking wine, which was done by taste and analysis. Quality remains a priority for wines made in the 600-odd hectares of this appellation area in the heart of Bordeaux. Pre-approval is arranged with winemakers, and a committee from the wine region tracks the cultivation of the vines. Soil Around forty producers tend the gravelly soil found on the left bank of the Dordogne River, on a geomorphic system of alluvial terraces. This terrace system is evidence that the Dordogne River sunk within the valley during the last Ice Age. Smallholdings, ranging from to around in area, only exist in the Vayres commune and the plateau of its neighbouring commune, Arveyres. The limits of this appellation area were defined in 1936, by the gravel, sandy-gravel, clay-gravel and silty-gravel soils found along the path of the Dordogne, because of their potential qualities. Wines Red Graves de Vayres The Red Graves de Vayres is ruby in colour. When the wine is young, due to the dominant Merlot it is fresh and highly fruity. White Graves de Vayres Dry white Graves de Vayres wines are made from 100% Sauvignon grapes. These wines are fresh, lively, and perfumed with floral notes and hints of citrus fruit. Barrel-fermented wines made with 100% Sémillon grapes are characterised by their slick, buttery, and rich, rounded texture. The sweet moelleux variety of Graves de Vayres is made from 100% Sémillon grapes, which are harvested only when they are over-ripe. This gives sweet and honey notes, and a wine pale yellow in colour. The majority of dry white Graves de Vayres is in fact composed of a blend of 70% Sauvignon, 20-25% Sémillion and 5-10% Muscadelle grapes.

After Juliet

After Juliet is a play written by Scottish playwright Sharman Macdonald. It was commissioned for the 1999 NT Shell Connections programme, in which regional youth theatre groups compete to stage short plays by established playwrights. The basic premise of the play, following on from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is "What happened to the Capulets and Montagues after Romeo and Juliet died?". The setting of After Juliet is described as "Verona. Or it could be Edinburgh, Dublin, Birmingham, New York City, or Liverpool. It could be 1500, 1900, 2000, or 3000". The only place that After Juliet cannot be set is Glasgow, as one of the characters, Rhona, is from Glasgow, and away from home. Macdonald's daughter Keira Knightley appeared in the Heatham House Youth Centre's NT Connections production, which made the regional finals. It continues to be performed by youth groups around the world. Plot The play centres on Rosaline, Juliet's cousin and Romeo's ex-flame. Ironically, Rosaline had been in love with Romeo, but was playing "hard to get". Tortured by the loss of her love, Rosaline has become a sullen, venomous woman. She actively seeks to be elected the 'Princess of Cats' and run the Capulet family. Meanwhile, the Capulets and Montagues have obeyed Prince Escalus and called a truce. The truce quickly descends into a farce as both sides continue to rage against each other. Amid the turmoil more doomed love springs-between Benvolio Montague and Rosaline. Benvolio is warned by Valentine (Mercutio's twin brother) to stay away from her if he knows what is right. The climax of the play comes during an election to determine whether or not Rosaline or Petruchio (Tybalt's brother) will succeed Tybalt as the Prince or Princess of Cats. The election fails to have any results and the fate of the truce is left open-ended. A 2009 youth, stage version of the show featured Valentine as the twin sister of Mercutio; this added an extra storyline where Valentine is in love with Benvolio and is jealous of Rosaline. Benvolio's final scene ends with Valentine running off stage after his rejection.

Isotonic contraction

In an isotonic contraction, tension remains the same, whilst the muscle's length changes. Isotonic contractions differ from isokinetic contractions in that in isokinetic contractions the muscle speed remains constant. While superficially identical, as the muscle's force changes via the length-tension relationship during a contraction, an isotonic contraction will keep force constant while velocity changes, but an isokinetic contraction will keep velocity constant while force changes. A near isotonic contraction is known as Auxotonic contraction. There are two types of isotonic contractions: (1) concentric and (2) eccentric. In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance, then remains the same as the muscle shortens. In eccentric, the muscle lengthens due to the resistance being greater than the force the muscle is producing. Concentric This type is typical of most exercise. The external force on the muscle is less than the force the muscle is generating - a shortening contraction. The effect is not visible during the classic biceps curl, which is in fact auxotonic because the resistance (torque due to the weight being lifted) does not remain the same through the exercise. Tension is highest at a parallel to the floor level, and eases off above and below this point. Therefore, tension changes as well as muscle length. Eccentric There are two main features to note regarding eccentric contractions. First, the absolute tensions achieved can be very high relative to the muscle's maximum tetanic tension generating capacity (you can set down a much heavier object than you can lift). Second, the absolute tension is relatively independent of lengthening velocity. Muscle injury and soreness are selectively associated with eccentric contraction. Muscle strengthening using exercises that involve eccentric contractions is lower than using concentric exercises. However because higher levels of tension are easier to attain during exercises that involve eccentric contractions it may be that, by generating higher signals for muscle strengthening, muscle hypertrophy is better than exercises that involve concentric contractions, albeit at a higher level of resistance. Auxotonic contraction This is almost an isotonic contraction because there is some fluctuation towards the end of the contraction. For example, the heart's ventricles contract to expel blood into the pulmonary artery and aorta. As the blood flows out, the previous built-up load is decreased and hence less force is required to expel the rest of the blood. Thus the tension is reduced.

Neenah Nodaway Yacht Club

The Neenah Nodaway Yacht Club (NNYC), based in Neenah, Wisconsin, has been in existence since 1864, making it one of the oldest yacht clubs in the country. During these years, the NNYC has been committed to promoting sailing for individuals of all ages by sponsoring club racing and cruising for many types of boats, participation in Lake Winnebago events, helping to support the Fox Valley Sailing School, and taking part in many community events. When the NNYC was formed it set out to accomplish several goals: To promote pleasure sailing and racing on Lake Winnebago. To establish a standard code of rules and signals for the Lake. To discourage extravagant expenditure in yachting. History The documented history of yacht racing on Lake Winnebago dates from 1859. In that year, the first racing yacht on record at the northern end of Lake Winnebago, the "Mayflower" was built in Menasha for Charles Doty, a son of the former territorial governor of Wisconsin. The first recorded reference to a Neenah Yacht Club was in 1863, when it was mentioned in the press as having won the lake championship. Lloyd's Register of American Yachts gives the club's founding date as 1864. Between the years of 1867 and 1869, Oshkosh and Fond du Lac formed yachting clubs and racing between yachts representing these cities began in earnest. The pride of the Neenah Yacht Club in the 1870s was the "Minnie Graves." Her most famous race of the decade was won off Oshkosh in July 1873. Large crowds lined the shores the day of the race, others followed the race from lake steamers, sailboats and rowboats. A professional skipper, Eb Stevens, piloted the Minnie Graves, but one of the crew members was Captain Hank Haff, later a defender of the America's Cup. Minnie was shy a hand that day, so the crew dumped a bag of gravel overboard and invited the stranger aboard. During the eighties, yachting activity on the lake began to wane. Although there were others who had success during the period, Neenah's fortunes were, in J. C. Kimberly's words "down in the trough of the wave." In the spring of 1893 the one design concept was brought to Neenah by William Z. Stuart. The Yosida, a sixteen-foot catyawl with few pretensions was destined to make yachting history. The Yosida was seaworthy and easily handled, and captivated the interest of local residents. In February 1894, Stuard called a meeting at his home. Those present in addition to Stuart, were John A. Kimberly, Jr., James C. Kimberly, Edward P. Sherry, James H. Wright, Lucius K. Henry and from Appleton, T. W. Orbison and W. L. Conkey. James C. Kimberly was unanimously elected commodore of what was to be named the Nodawa Boat Club. The original list of suggested names for the club came from an imposing list of over 500 yacht names. The name Nodawa was the unanimous choice of the group, and the full title of the club was the Nodawa Boat Club. However, in a few months and without a formal vote, Nodawa became "Nodaway" and that fall, when registration of the club was proposed, "Boat" was changed to "Yacht," so that by the end of the season the official name of the organization was Nodaway Yacht Club. Even before its first anniversary, however, the Club began to broaden its interests. The six original catyawls continued to compete as a class, new members joined, and soon larger boats were acquired. Of these, the most noted was the thirty foot "skimming dish" Nirvana, the first Neenah yacht to win the prestigious Felker Cup. The Neenah Nodaway Yacht Club was formed in 1905, when the two local clubs merged. At that time, activity centered around the class A scows, with J. C. Kimberly winning the Felker Cup in 1905. With a repeal of the ILYA one entry per club rule, their annual regatta re-blossomed and was held at the Oshkosh Yacht Club. World War I put a damper on yacht racing and the regatta was cancelled in 1917 and 1918. Interest revived in 1921 when new life was injected into the A fleet by three veteran sailors, Will Davis, James C. Kimberly, and Frank Shattuck. A new generation of skippers was introduced that year, including Leo Schubart, Horace DuBois, Lyall and Irving Stilp, Jack Kimberly, and Bill Kellett. In 1923 the Inland regatta was held in Neenah for the first time. Racing conditions and organization were near perfect for the event. The club sponsored several Inland regattas between 1927 and 1964. The Depression of the 1930s put Neenah racing into a decline, but club activities continued with emphasis placed on junior sailing in dinghies, and later in the ILYA Cub class, and its successor, the X. Under the direction of the new commodore, Bill Kellett, an active promotion program was begun in 1937. New trophies were added to stimulate racing activity. Though Class A yachts and the Inland regattas were still in the limelight, by the end of the 1930s a fast-growing fleet of smaller craft, piloted by juniors and seniors, was nudging the big boats over for a share of the stage. In 1941 membership reached 148, and the NNYC fleet of smaller craft, piloted by juniors and seniors was nudging the big boats over for a share of the stage. In 1941 membership reached 148, and the NNYC fleet set up a record for activity, with 69 boats on the lake, 53 participating in racing and 35 eligible for awards. The onset of World War II saw another reduction in racing activity, however activity was maintained by the juniors, during this time. The club sponsored on the water training for V-12 Navy College Training Program students from the Lawrence University campus, many of whom had never been on a boat. A Scow activity resumed after the war, but more significant as a portent of things to come was the growth in the fleets of smaller Class D and F scows, and in the Lightning class. The latter begun in 1942 by Dick Neller. The popular day sailor-racer was never recognized by the ILYA, but was well suited to Winnebago sailing. The big news events of the 1950s were Bill Kellett's victories aboard Last Chance in the Class A series at the Inland regattas of 1951 and 1953, the first for NNYC sailors since W.I., Davis' Class A championship more than a half century earlier. Kellett won again in 1962 in a new 1961 Johnson Class A scow, Winnefox II. The trend to smaller boats and from wooden hulls to fiberglass was not to be denied. Though the Catlin brothers won an A scow championship in Mad Zephyr in 1966, with Tim steering, and Bill Kellett's son Buzz skippered Winnefox II to her second ILYA crown the following year, the A scow era at Neenah was ending. Eric Isakson took the Felker Cup in 1967 aboard his White Star, and competed with success in several more Inland regattas, but the giant A scows, the "varsity" of the ILYA, no longer competed on the NNYC course. By the mid sixties these fleets were supplanted by the newer fiberglass hulled M-20 class, a scow version of the Flying Dutchman, designed by Melges. ILYA championships in this sporty class were held by John Rather in 1966 and Geoff Catlin in 1967. Although the fleet has fluctuated in size, it has generally provided the most competitive racing available to Neenah sailors since the demise of the Class A fleet locally. The Flying Scot fleet has taken the place of the Lightning in recent years. From a small fleet of four boats in 1972, this class of 19 foot family day sailor-racers grew to 23 yachts by the start of the 1976 season, largely as the result of promotional efforts by Terry Schoreder, who scoured the Midwest looking for used Scots to supply local demand for boats of the popular class. A 24-boat Laser fleet sprang into being for the 1976 season, drawing interest from many new sailors as well as those from other classes who wanted to sharpen their tactical skills. The cruising fleet has been the greatest long term growth in the club's history. It numbered 53 boats by the start of the 1976 season. These ranged in size from the "trailer sailors" to large auxiliaries capable of sailing anywhere in the world. NNYC sailors achieved racing success in the cruising class not only in local club races, and events sponsored by the LWSA but also on Green Bay. Formal establishment of the sailing school served as a stimulus for junior sailing during this era. Karrie Galloway served as sailing master during the development of the broadened program in 1970 and 1971. She was followed by Janet Apple in 1972 and 1973 and Adrienne Dick in the subsequent years. Adult instruction was not neglected during this period. Pre-season classroom sessions were conducted at the Neenah YMCA by Bud Dick, Gus Larson, Joel Ungrodt, Dieter Kutscha and Owen Felton. Occasionally, guest speakers conducted seminars, including Buddy Melges, Peter Barrett and Bruce Goldsmith. The Fox Valley Sailing School continued to grow, reaching an enrollment of over 120 by 1980 and maintaining approximately that level through 1984. The school also developed its own fleet of X-Boats as a result of donations by NNYC members. With it came an increased need for maintenance, a function which Geoff Catlin was willing and able to fill. The club now has over 100 yachts in the harbor, including three international fleets. These include J/24s, Flying Scots, and Lasers. External links Official Website Category:1864 establishments in Wisconsin Category:Sailing in Wisconsin Category:Yacht clubs in the United States

SuperPrime

SuperPrime is a computer program used for calculating the primality of a large set of positive natural numbers. Because of its multi-threaded nature and dynamic load scheduling, it scales excellently when using more than one thread (execution core). It is commonly used as an overclocking benchmark to test the speed and stability of a system. Background information In August 1995, the calculation of Pi up to 4,294,960,000 decimal digits was achieved by using a supercomputer at the University of Tokyo. The program used to achieve this was ported to personal computers, for operating systems such as Windows NT and Windows 95 and called Super-PI. SuperPrime is another take on this procedure, substituting raw floating-point calculations for the value of Pi with more complex instructions to calculate the primality of a set of natural numbers. Landmarks On September 29, 2006, a milestone was broken when bachus_anonym of www.xtremesystems.org broke the 30 seconds barrier using a highly overclocked Core 2 Duo machine See also Erodov.com, the 'home forum' for the SuperPrime benchmark.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., known in Japan with the subtitle Lincoln vs. Aliens (リンカーン VS エイリアン Rinkan Basasu Eirian), is a 2015 turn-based strategy game for the Nintendo 3DS handheld video game console. The game was developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. Gameplay The game is played as a turn-based strategy game, controlled in the style of a third person shooter, similar to the Valkyria Chronicles series. The gameplay involves a team of characters controlled by the player known as the "Agents of S.T.E.A.M." facing off against an opposing team of alien invaders. Both teams take it in turns to maneuver and attack, with each level split across up to three self-contained battle arena environments. For the player, both attacking and movement requires the use of "steam", a meter that depletes whenever a character moves around or uses their weapon, in the latter case depending on the type of weapon be used. By saving the same amount of steam required for the character's weapon to be used, certain characters can perform "overwatch attacks" during the opponent's turn, letting them attack enemies that wander into their sights with the potential to stun them for the rest of the turn. The opposing alien team however can also perform this strategy. Additionally, each character has a unique special ability that can be used once per level that doesn't cost steam. Before each battle, the player selects up to four characters, more becoming available as the story progresses. Each character has their own unique primary weapon that suit different play styles and strategies while a second sub-weapon can be switched across all characters before each level. Throughout each level the player can collect gears and medals. Gears are rarer and hidden in each level while many medals are scattered throughout, and can also be gained by defeating enemies, more if they are defeated with overwatch attacks. In between levels, gears are used to unlock "boilers" that can alter stats and amount of steam while medals gain be used to unlock further sub-weapons and can be used at certain points to save the game, heal themselves, or restore fallen allies. If the player collects 100,000 medals during gameplay, a 13th member of S.T.E.A.M is unlocked: A smaller version of the A.B.E called STOVEPIPE (named after Lincoln's hat). The game is compatible with the Super Smash Bros. series of Amiibo figures, allowing players to play as Marth (voiced by Yuri Lowenthal), Ike (voiced by Jason Adkins), Robin (voiced by David Vincent), and Lucina (voiced by Laura Bailey) from the Fire Emblem series by scanning their corresponding figures. Plot The game’s framing device is that it is a comic book being read. The story opens in a steampunk fantasy version of London on the opening day of the Steamgate Bridge. Henry Fleming (based on the protagonist of the same name from the book The Red Badge of Courage and voiced by Adam Baldwin) is going over security detail at the American Embassy when suddenly the city is attacked by an unknown enemy. He manages to escape and meet up with his old friend John Henry (voiced by Michael Dorn). The two are then rescued by an airship called the Lady Liberty, captained by President Abraham Lincoln (voiced by Wil Wheaton). He explains that the city is under attack by aliens and conscripts the two into the strike force S.T.E.A.M. (short for Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace) After rescuing Queen Victoria with the help of Lion (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Tiger Lily of Peter Pan (voiced by Kari Wahlgren), and Tom Sawyer (voiced by Jeremy Shada), the soldiers are eventually forced to leave England to its fate and retreat to America. They are delayed by a giant monster that is defeated by Lincoln himself in his giant mech, the A.B.E. (Anthropomorphized Battle Engine). They swing by Boston in order to help the forces there and meet up with Queequeg (voiced by TJ Storm). They then receive a distress call from Professor Randolph Carter (voiced by James Urbaniak) of Miskatonic University, S.T.E.A.M.’s expert on the occult. They meet Lion’s friend Scarecrow (voiced by Paul Eiding) on the way there and manage to evacuate the university with Carter in tow. However, before they can get on the Lady Liberty, Carter’s notes are taken by a mysterious creature called a Starface who then flees the scene. Carter says to Lincoln that the aliens weren't just after his research, but also the Necronomicon which has led to numerous discoveries that have improved technology manifold. It was kept at Miskatonic until recently and the team sets forth for its current location: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, directly under the White House. They manage to get to the White House, meeting with dashing thief the Fox (voiced by Grey DeLisle) and warrior queen Califia (voiced by Kimberly Brooks). While they do keep the Necronomicon from the hands of the enemy, they unfortunately have to abandon the capital. With the Necronomicon, Carter concludes that the source of the threat is the Great Shugguth, a creature that can perpetually create soldiers, left behind by the aliens 200 million years ago for reasons unknown. The Shugguth is buried underneath the South Pole so the team stops by Monument Valley to repair and refuel. However, their base comes under attack and they barely manage to escape with the help of the cyborg Tin Man (voiced by Andrew Kishino) and Lincoln critically injured. When all hope seems lost, a strange light appears in the Lady Liberty, revealing none other than Dorothy Gale (voiced by Amber Hood) who takes the team to Oz which is also under attack. They save Queen Ozma whose engineers at Oz manage to upgrade A.B.E. so it’s capable of drilling through the ice in the South Pole as well as giving them emerald keys so they can teleport instantly between two points in space. Returning to Earth, they hear from General Ulysses S. Grant that half the planet has been frozen over and that they are running out of time. Fighting through the aliens’ lair, they manage to confront the Starface and defeat it, though the Shugguth turns mad and goes on a rampage. Lincoln faces off against the great beast, but in its death throes it intends to take out the entire planet. Lincoln then self-destructs A.B.E., destroying the Shugguth but at the cost of his own life. With the planet saved, S.T.E.A.M. pays their final farewells to Lincoln, throwing a bouquet into the great chasm where he made his last stand and are joined by other airships doing the same. A post-credits sequence reveals Lincoln’s hat, but an emerald key is nearby, hinting he may have survived. The comic is then turned over, revealing a new story arc is upcoming. Development The game marks the directorial debut of Paul Patrashcu, who had been with Intelligent Systems for 8 years at that point. As with all of Nintendo's outside collaborations, the project was overseen by Nintendo Software Planning and Development Division under producer and Nintendo-veteran Hitoshi Yamagami who also oversees development of series such as Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire Emblem and Pokémon. The first pitch began with the words "Steampunk Civil War", according to the director's explanation at Nintendo's E3 2014 developer roundtable where the game was first unveiled to the press. Patrashcu, who has a personal fondness for strategy games, and Yamagami wanted to make a strategy game that is accessible to a broader group of people who previously found strategy games unappealing by removing certain abstractions that had been established in the genre, such as heavy reliance on overhead maps and a general distance from the character units themselves. Thus the idea was born to use an over-the-shoulder third person camera that would serve as the player's only way of seeing around the map, directly putting them in the respective character's shoes. That is also where the influence from third-person shooter games comes into play, with the direct control over the aiming reticle of the character's guns being in the player's hands, just like in a normal shooter game. All of these mechanics are blended together under the familiar turn-based system of other strategy games, like Intelligent System's own Fire Emblem or Advance Wars series, or contemporaries such as Valkyria Chronicles or XCOM resulting in a strategy game which aims to offer both a lot of depth and be welcoming to previously disinterested players. Takao Sakai, the game's art director, explained that the art style was heavily influenced by the silver age of comic books, such as the work by Jack Kirby, as well as by the more recent comic creator Bruce Timm. The designs for the enemy alien characters were heavily influenced by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Reception Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. has earned aggregate critic scores of 70% from GameRankings and a 70 out of 100 from Metacritic, with the latter putting it into "mixed or average reviews" status. Ben Moore of GameTrailers called it "a complex game that’s hard to put down," praising the varied gameplay and character progression systems, and the game's "absurd moments that keep things entertaining." Game Revolution enjoyed the level strategy that fans of the genre will "eat up" while "non-strategy gamers will find it easier to understand and get into than other current offerings." Henery Gilbert of GamesRadar praised the design and setting of a "unique world full of memorable characters," the gameplay mechanics, and "the odd team of steampunk weirdos really mixes up the gameplay to make for some impactful action, and the dense maps belie a raft of colorful design." Kimberley Wallace for Game Informer said the game's "biggest assets are its variety and unpredictability" in missions and strategies. IGN's Jose Otero enjoyed the design of the characters and gameplay options, calling the arsenal itself "wacky, but also extremely deep", though he felt that the enemies were less memorable visually than the playable characters. Otero noted the lack of an overhead map or view feature, feeling that it made players "have to think carefully" to avoid ambushes and make counters. Austin Walker of GameSpot considered the lack of an overhead option as encouraging a "slow, dreary march forward" approach, while deeming the level design "uninspired" and the story "underdeveloped," as it "turns its back ... in favor of pure aestheticization." Kyle MacGregor for Destructoid enjoyed the gameplay as "a heady, engrossing experience" yet was critical of the enemy turns having a protracted length, being "hellaciously long". Justin McElroy of Polygon called the gameplay "annoying" and admitted that he didn't finish the game, calling it a " misguided, horrifically dull debacle." Nintendo would later release an update that addressed significant downtime by allowing the player to fast-forward through enemy turns. As such, McElroy updated his review to be more favorable towards the game, stating that it was "a whole lot easier to deal with its faults after the patch and, by extension, a whole lot easier to recommend" the game. In its first week on sale in Japan, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. sold fewer than 1,865 copies at retail. Legacy Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. was the first video game to debut Marth's current English voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, who has since reprised his role as the character in all future appearances. The game also received representation in the 2018 Nintendo Switch crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Henry Fleming appears as a Spirit and four music tracks were included, including three tracks based on themes from the Fire Emblem series and one new arrangement.

Khalid Yasin

Khalid Yasin (also known as Abu Muhammad and Abu Muhammad Khalid Yasin), born in 1946, is an American convert from Christianity to Islam who lives in Manchester, England and lectures in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. Yasin frequently travels overseas to spread his faith and has called himself a "media-bedouin," remarking that the Bedouins are willing to settle wherever there is a presence of "water and shelter". Background Yasin was born in Harlem, New York and raised in Brooklyn as a Christian along with nine siblings. Although not an orphan, he was put up for adoption due to his family's financial state. He grew up in foster homes from the age of three along with some of his siblings, until he was fifteen. He describes each foster home as having a different Christian denomination, so he covered a wide spectrum of Christianity. Prior to his conversion, Yasin was a gang member. Yasin has described his youth in "the ghetto", where it was "Me and my two brothers Sam and Julius, against the world. We had nothing but converting and accepting Islam now we have everything". When first reading about Islam, he often used Encyclopædia Britannica as a reliable source on Islam and its concepts. Yasin felt the grief of African-American people, and he was especially influenced by the turbulent 1960s and figures like Malcolm X. Yasin converted to Islam in 1965. He began his ministry as the "Amir" or leader of Jammat Ita'hadul Iqwa on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Yasin has been accused of espousing a radical form of Islam. Channel Nine in Australia described him as "a charismatic preacher who’s capturing the hearts and minds of young Australian Muslims with a radical mix of pleas for the understanding of terrorism, anti-Western conspiracy theories and radical homophobia. Rather differently, the Oman Tribune described him as a "learned scholar" who "regularly tours different countries debunking the misinformation about Islam". Discussing his leisure time, Yasin said, "I’m a fairly avid horseman, I swim, I box, I read quite a bit. Probably once every two years I visit Mecca and I cleanse myself spiritually by performing the Umrah or the Haj, and then daily I pray five times a day. As a Muslim that gives me the refreshment and our Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him, said that the prayer is the coolness of his eyes. So I have the opportunity to recede five times a day into that inner sanctum." Yasin has operated dawah organizations under various names, including Islamic Broadcasting Corporation Ltd which was dissolved in 2010. Notable views In a speech that Yasin delivered at Bankstown Town Hall in Sydney, Australia, as well as in a televised interview, seen as critical of Muslims befriending non-Muslims, Yasin said: "There's no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend, so a non-Muslim could be your associate but they can't be a friend. They're not your friend because they don't understand your religious principles and they cannot because they don't understand your faith." He later contextualized his comment, explaining that Muslim people, including him, invariably have friends, neighbors and colleagues who are non-Muslims, but that does not mean that non-Muslims should influence Muslims' religious or moral decisions. Yasin has lectured to students at universities as a guest speaker and on debate panels. He also addresses crowds at events aimed at young people. Yasin has made statements describing western civilization's academic tradition as difficult to reconcile with Islamic religious life: "University is a gateway for deviation, you forget your Islamic direction. Now you have become compromised through some kind of intellectuality." Yasin was allegedly quoted by an Australian newspaper instructing a light beating as discipline for disobedient wives. Yasin denies ever saying this, and says that the Koran does not include any such instructions in its 6236 verses. In Australia in 2005 Yasin was quoted as saying that: "The Koran gives a clear position regarding homosexuality lesbianism and bestiality. ... They are aberrations punishable by death. ... We can’t walk around society slandering them because there is legislation against doing that but we don’t have to like them we don’t have to promote them and we have the right to say that that’s a moral aberration.” In a 2010 documentary, Yasin said that "in the eyes of God everyone is equal, not the same, but equal" and that, "according to the principles of Islam", homosexuality is "a perversive behavior and a criminal behavior. But we need to be tolerant. We are citizens, we need to be tolerant". Yasin believes that HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is probably man-made and that the US Government is the likely culprit. He said that “missionaries from the World Health Organization and Christian groups ... went into Africa and inoculated people for diphtheria, malaria, yellow fever and they put in the medicine the AIDS virus.” Yasin accuses Israel of state terrorism. He refers to "an occupation of Palestinian land by the criminal state of Israel ... and they are still committing terrorism after 50 years". Regarding capital punishment by some Muslim states, Yasin has said: "Then people can see, people without hands, people can see in public heads rolling down the street, people got [sic] their hands and feet from opposite sides chopped off and they see them crucified ... They see people put up against the pole and see them get lashed in public. They see it, and because they see it, it acts as a deterrent for them because they say I don't want that to happen to me". Yasin made these comments during an investigation for a British Channel 4 documentary, "Dispatches: Undercover Mosque", which investigated the intolerance and fundamentalism reportedly being spreading through Britain's mosques from the Saudi Arabian religious establishment closely linked to the Saudi Arabian government. Yasin responded that his comments should be considered in context and that he did not support or promote Saudi Arabian government religious rhetoric and that, in any event, capital punishment occurred in many countries. "The lecture," he stated, "was aimed at reforming the Muslim people, the Muslim society and the Muslim world … to be adjudicated by the Sovereign Islamic State" when one exists. On September 7, 2003 Yasin appeared on Australian radio program Sunday Night with John Cleary. Discussing the rarity of international governing bodies within Islam, Cleary asked where Sharia fits into that and Yasin replied: "Well the Sharia is the cement that keeps all the bricks together. The Sharia is the legislative element. The Sharia is the judicial element. This is where rules, this is where juristic decisions, this is where the courts, this is where law is. And I mean if you don't have a people that is governed by Sharia, then you have a lawless people." Denmark In 2010 Yasin lectured in Copenhagen at a Muslim youth project called "North Bronx" - From Gang Member to Conscious Muslim, with one of his credentials being the fact that Yasin is a former gang member from Harlem. His participation stirred political debate whether Yasin was a suitable role model for keeping youths out of gangs. The organizer of the event defended Yasin and stated that, "He has totally changed his position and entered the fight to prevent radicalization and crime". In June 2017 he was banned from entering the Kingdom of Denmark. Netherlands On a Dutch-Muslim feature interview Yasin compared the controversial reaction he and Islam stirs to "someone walking in the dark, without knowing where they are going", and to people being afraid of things they are not familiar with.

Schloss Zweibrücken

Schloss Zweibrücken is a building in the town of Zweibrücken, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. It was built as a ducal palace in 1720-1725. It is the largest and most magnificent secular (i.e. non-religious) building in the Palatinate (). It is now the seat of the Palatine Higher Regional Court (), and of the Zweibrücken law courts (). History The earliest recorded building near the site was a fortress (). It was built in the 12th century by the Counts () of Zweibrücken; the town was on an important trade route. It sat on the eastern side of an open triangular area, which still exists today: the Schlossplatz (which translates into English as "Castle Square", whatever its shape might be). In 1444, a junior (cadet) branch of the House of Wittelsbach was granted the title of Duke () of a new state: Palatine Zweibrücken (), with its seat in Zweibrücken. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the ducal family modernised and enlarged their dwelling-place. In 1585, they constructed a palace (known as "the long building by the water", ) on the northern side of the Schlossplatz, complete with water-mill and library. In 1677, the ancient and the newer buildings were badly damaged during the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1678). In the early 18th century, Gustav, Duke of Zweibrücken ordered the construction of a new residence appropriate for his rank and status. The architect was Jonas Erikson Sundahl, whose design was in the modern Late Baroque style - for show and comfort, and not for defence. In 1720–25, this palace was built on the northern side of the Schlossplatz. The site was marshy, so preliminary work involved driving very many oak piles into the ground to provide a solid foundation. That building has been twice destroyed and twice rebuilt; its second reconstruction is the building which exists today. Christian IV, Duke of Zweibrücken 1735–1775, entertained notable creative artists at his palace, including the leading operatic composer Christoph Willibald von Gluck. Christian's nephew Maximilian (1756–1825) spent some of his childhood at the palace. On 3 May 1793, during the War of the First Coalition, Zweibrücken was overrun and sacked by French troops. The building was badly damaged. In 1817, Maximilian, in 1795–99 merely Duke of Zweibrücken but by now King Maximilian I of Bavaria, gave the ruined building to the Catholic community of the town, with the command to convert it into a church. The central part of the building was walled off from its wings, and was roofed with slate. On 28 May 1820, it was consecrated as the Maximilianskirche by Johann Jakob Humann, Vicar Apostolic of both Speyer and Mainz. A bell tower was added later. The east wing was turned into a residence for the clergy. The west wing became a royal residence, and later the seat of the Royal Court of Appeals of the Palatinate. In 1867, the Maximilianskirche was deconsecrated and the whole building turned over to the administration of justice. The bell tower was taken down. On 14 March 1945, in the final stages of World War II, Zweibrücken was the target of an Allied bombing raid. The building was gutted, and only its outer walls left standing. By great good fortune, a copy of Sundahl's original plans was discovered in Nancy, France. In 1962-1964, the building was reconstructed from those plans, using red sandstone from the northern Palatinate and yellow sandstone from Lorraine. In 1965, the restored building was returned into use as the seat of the Palatine Higher Regional Court and of the Zweibrücken law courts. Gallery References By . Category:Zweibrücken Zweibrucken

IHSAA Conference-Independent Schools

The schools listed below are members of the Indiana High School Athletic Association and are not members of a conference. Of these, several were at one time members of a conference but became independent because of budget and travel concerns. However, some of them, mostly private schools, are also independent in order to better prepare for the state tournament, a practice that the IHSAA has begun to crack down on in recent years. Indiana's Class System Indiana's classes are determined by student enrollment, broken into classes of roughly equal size depending on sport. The 2011-12 school year marks a change in the classification period, as schools are reclassified in all class sports biennially instead of quadrennially. It is also important to note that some schools (mostly private) are placed in classes higher than their enrollment. This is due to a new IHSAA rule that took effect for the 2012-13 year that dictates that a school that has made two appearances at the state championships in a row, win or lose, is automatically moved up into the next class. Classes for 2011-12 through 2012-13: Most sports: Class A: <325 Students. Class AA: 325-565 Students. Class AAA: 566-1089 Students. Class AAAA: >1089 Students. Football: Class A: 71-408 students Class AA: 408-555 students Class AAA: 557-808 students Class AAAA: 809-1489 students Class AAAAA: 1496-1929 students Class AAAAAA 1935-4808 students Soccer: Class A: 62-721 students Class AA: 721-4808 students Explanation of colors Schools that do not play football Schools that are affiliate members for certain sports Private or parochial schools Military Academies Public Magnet Schools Public schools that draw from multiple counties Public schools that draw from multiple time zones Out of state schools (e.g. Mount Carmel) Schools These 58 Schools are independent members of the IHSAA. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center;font-size: 95%" |- !School !City !Mascot !Colors !Enrollment !IHSAAClass !IHSAAFootball Class !County |- bgcolor=silver |21st Century CharterSchool of Gary |Gary |Cougars | |266 |A | -- |45Lake |-bgcolor=lightblue |Argos |Argos |Dragons | |198 |A | -- |50Marshall |- bgcolor=lightblue |BethanyChristian|Goshen |Bruins | |148 |A | -- |20Elkhart |- bgcolor=silver |BowmanAcademy|Gary |Eagles | |447 |AA |AA |45Lake |- bgcolor=lightblue |Christian Academyof Indiana|New Albany |Warriors | |241 |A | -- |22 Floyd |- bgcolor=lightblue |DeMotte Covenant Christian|DeMotte |Knights | |99 |A | -- |37Jasper |- bgcolor=gray |CulverMilitary|Culver |Eagles | |812 |AAA |AAAA |50Marshall |-bgcolor=lightblue |ElkhartChristian |Elkhart |Eagles | |185 |A | -- |20Elkhart |- bgcolor=lightblue |EvansvilleDay School |Evansville |Eagles | |81 |A | -- |82Vanderburgh |- bgcolor=lightblue |EvansvilleSignature |Evansville |Penguins | |361 |AA | -- |82Vanderburgh |-bgcolor=lightblue |Faith Christian |Lafayette |Eagles | |203 |A | -- |79Tippecanoe |- bgcolor=lightblue |Fort WayneBlackhawk|Fort Wayne |Braves | |241 |A | -- | 02 Allen |- bgcolor=lightblue |Fort WayneCanterbury|Fort Wayne |Cavaliers | |369 |AA | -- |02Allen |- bgcolor=lightblue |Indiana Schoolfor the Blind|Indianapolis |Rockets | |57 | A | -- |49Marion |-bgcolor=darkgray |Indiana Schoolfor the Deaf|Indianapolis |Orioles | |115 |A |A |49Marion |- bgcolor=darkgray |IndianapolisCathedral|Indianapolis |Fighting Irish | |1,184 |AAAA |AAAAA |49Marion |- bgcolor=silver |IndianapolisHerron|Indianapolis |Achaeans | |827 |AAA | -- |49Marion |- bgcolor=lightblue | Lakewood Park Christian| Auburn |Panthers | | 186 |A | -- |17DeKalb |-bgcolor=silver | Gary Lighthouse |Gary |Lions | |560 |AA | -- |45Lake |- bgcolor=lightblue |Oldenburg Academy |Oldenburg |Twisters | |210 |A |A |24Franklin |-bgcolor=lightblue |Oregon-Davis |Hamlet |Bobcats | |182 |A | -- |75Starke |- bgcolor=darkgray |Providence|Clarksville |Pioneers | |437 |AA |AA |10Clark |- bgcolor=lightblue |Rock CreekAcademy|Sellersburg |Lions | |137 |A |A |10Clark |- bgcolor=lightblue |Trinity Lutheran'|Seymour |Cougars | |142 |A |A |36Jackson |} Defunct Independent Schools These are schools that were independent at the time of their closing.This list is incomplete.''

Norma Howard

Norma Howard (born 1958) is a Choctaw-Chickasaw Native American artist from Stigler, Oklahoma, who paints genre scenes of children playing, women working in fields, and other images inspired by family stories and Choctaw life. Howard won her first art award at the 1995 Red Earth Native American Cultural Festival in Oklahoma City. Her work is popular with collectors and critics. Early life Howard grew up in a small, rural Oklahoma community. Her family was poor and her parents struggled to raise their eight children. Howard's maternal grandmother had come to Oklahoma from Mississippi in the early 20th century as part of the second removal along the Choctaw Trail of Tears. Her grandmother spoke Choctaw, not English, and would sometimes tell the children stories in Choctaw. Howard's father's family had come to Indian Territory earlier, during the first removal, and at first settled in the Atoka area. Later her grandfather decided to move his family to Stigler, Oklahoma, where there were better schools; they owned land and grew cotton. Howard recalls drawing on anything she could: with a stick in the dirt, on brown paper bags, even on pages of an encyclopedia. She first attended a small country school with both white and Indian children. When other children played with toys or dolls that she did not have, Howard would draw what she saw "and that made me feel like I had those things." After third grade, when that school closed, she and her siblings attended Stigler schools, where she was the only Native child in her class. Howard vividly remembers one teacher that scolded her for drawing "Indian things" on the chalkboard, and for a while she stopped drawing altogether. Her parents were proud of her art. Her father, a house painter, carried some of her drawings in his wallet. Using cheap paint palettes available at the local general store, Howard taught herself to paint. Once her father even took off a day of work to show her paintings at a local event. In 1974 people at a gift shop in Tahlequah "laughed at my work, like they didn't want it." After Howard started her family and began working at a sewing factory, she didn't have much time to paint. Then the factory closed down, and Howard worried about finding another job. In a dream she heard her late father say to her, "Paint. That's what you always wanted to do." Early career Howard's husband David insisted they visit an art supply store in another town to buy her better paints and paper to use. David also pushed Howard to enter her work in the annual Red Earth art market in Oklahoma City. She had just missed the deadline in 1995 to enter her work as a new artist but was allowed her to submit her request late. As Howard sat among the other artists and their works, she noticed her art was very different from most others. It seemed everything was Southwestern or Plains art. She listened as third place was announced, then second place, and she thought she had lost. When the announcer called "Norma Howard" for first place, she sat stunned, head down. That morning she had sold every painting in her booth. At Red Earth 1996, Howard won again. After encouragement from Paul Rainbird, of the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts, Howard exhibited at the 1997 Santa Fe Indian Market and every year since. In 1998 she received a prestigious Santa Fe Market fellowship. She used it to travel to Mississippi to visit ancestral places of the Choctaws. Those swamps and lands have continued to inspire her paintings of Choctaw history, when Choctaws hid from troops who sent Native people west to Indian Territory. Style and notable works As a self-taught artist, Howard has developed a unique style of watercolor painting that uses tiny brushstrokes, cross-hatching and layers to produce depth. Her landscapes almost always include people, because she believes it is people who give art life. She remembers as a child using a View-Master to look at pictures "so real you could touch it." Growing up, she did not know any Indian artists; in fact did not know many other Native families until her teens. So she was not aware of other Native art. Her first goal as an artist was to make something good enough for her mother and father to hang in their living room. Her painting Green Corn is in the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, while three more paintings hang in the Landmark Bank in Durant, Oklahoma. Since 2003, Howard has been represented by Blue Rain Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico Awards and notable exhibitions 2015 Return from Exile: Contemporary Southeastern Indian Art, traveling exhibit 2014 Santa Fe Indian Market, Best of Classification III 2014 Southeastern Art Show and Market, Tishomingo, OK, Best of Division, 2-D Art 2013 Santa Fe Indian Market, Best of Classification III 2013 Greater Tulsa Indian Art Market, Glenpool, OK 2012 Santa Fe Indian Market, Gouache/Watercolor, First Place 2004 Trail of Tears Art Show, Cherokee Heritage Center, Park Hill, OK Grand Prize 1997+ Santa Fe Indian Market, Santa Fe, NM 1995 Red Earth Native Culture Festival, 1st place Watercolor, Oklahoma City, OK 1996 Red Earth Native Culture Festival, 1st place Watercolor, Oklahoma City, OK References Further reading Silverman, Jason.

Alfred Kaskel

Alfred Kaskel (1901–1968) was an American real estate developer and hotelier, best known for founding Doral Hotels and Resorts, Doral Construction, and Carol Management, which developed, owned, and managed a number of hotels, apartment buildings, and office buildings in New York City, Florida, Chicago, and Boston, primarily from the 1930s to the 1990s. This included more than 20,000 rental apartments. Biography Kaskel was born to a Jewish family in Poland and immigrated to the US in the 1930s to New York bringing his siblings with him. Soon after arriving, he began building in New York City eventually building over 17,000 apartments in the city including Gracie Towers and 360 East 72nd Street in Manhattan; Roosevelt Terrace in Jackson Heights, Queens; Churchill Manor in Briarwood, Queens; Park City and Park City Estates in Rego Park, Queens, Kennedy House in Forest Hills, Queens; River Terrace and Skyview apartments in Riverdale, Bronx. Kaskel buildings were some of the first in New York City to have sunken living rooms, terraces, and outdoor corridors. Most of his buildings were designed by architect Philip Birnbaum. Kaskel also developed The Anita Apartments, The Carol Apartments, and The Howard Apartments in Rego Park, Queens, which he named after each of his children. Kaskel's children later reciprocated when they developed The Alfred, a 38-story condominium tower in Manhattan, in his name. Kaskel was perhaps best known for founding Doral Hotels & Resorts, which developed, owned and operated luxury hotels including the Doral Golf Resort and Spa, Doral Miami Beach, Carillon Miami, Doral Telluride Resort and Spa, Doral Inn, Doral Tuscany, Doral Park Avenue, and Doral Arrowwood, among others. The city of Doral in Florida is named after the Doral Miami Beach and its sister hotel Doral Golf Resort and Spa, which is also home to the Doral Open. The name was created by Doris (née Bernstein) and Alfred Kaskel, combining "Dor" and "Al" from each of their names. Alfred's last major development was 90 Park Avenue, a 41-story office building and skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan located at 40th Street and Park Avenue, two blocks from Grand Central. The property opened in 1964, four years before Alfred's death in 1968.

Leonardo Garzoni

Leonardo Garzoni (Venice, Italy, 1543 – Venice, Italy, 10 March 1592) was a Jesuit natural philosopher. Life The little data we have about Garzoni's life are the brief notices registered on official documents of the Society of Jesus. From these sources we know that Garzoni was born into a patrician family and that he began his philosophical studies before 1565. About 1566 he joined a congregation near to the Jesuits’ College in Brescia and entered the Society of Jesus in 1567 or 1568. In 1568 he lectured in logic in Parma and in 1573 he was a third–year student in theology in Padua. On 9 June 1579 he took his four vows in Brescia and from 1579 he lived, as a confessor, in Venice. After a stay in Verona (about 1588) he came back to Venice, where he died. Works Garzoni's only extant work, the Due trattati sopra la natura, e le qualità della calamita, is the first known example of a modern treatment of magnetic phenomena. Written in years near 1580 and never published, the treatise had a wide diffusion. In particular, Garzoni is referred to as an expert in magnetism by Niccolò Cabeo, whose Philosophia Magnetica (1629) is just a re-adjustment of Garzoni's work. Garzoni's treatise was known also to Giovanni Battista Della Porta and William Gilbert. Even if the Jesuit is never mentioned, both Della Porta's Magia Naturalis (1589) and Gilbert's De Magnete (1600) shows a heavy dependence on Garzoni's treatise. In the case of Della Porta we are facing a blatant plagiarism, as was already remarked by Niccolò Cabeo (Philosophia Magnetica, Praefatio ad lectorem) and Niccolò Zucchi (Philosophia magnetica…, fols. 62v-63r). Contents The first treatise, consisting of 17 chapters, contains Garzoni's theory of magnetism. The second treatise contains the description of a number of experiments, presented as 90 conclusions or doubts, and 39 corollaries. In the first treatise Garzoni explains the two principal magnetic effects displayed by the loadstone: its tendency to the poles and its interaction with other loadstones, or with iron. Firstly, the author ascertains that the motion towards the poles is a natural one, ascribes it to an internal mover ant its appropriate instrument, which he names the qualità delle due facce (quality of two faces). The loadstone naturally possesses the quality, or verticity, while iron can acquire it from the stone, becoming magnetized. Iron naturally possesses a similar quality, or 'qualità di una faccia (quality of one face), by means of which it is disposed to receive verticity from a loadstone. Once magnetized, iron behaves exactly like a loadstone. The most interesting features concerns Garzoni's description of the way verticity moves the loadstone and the way it alters surrounding bodies, virtually propagating itself outside the stone. Other interesting features arise from the explanation of double nature of the magnetic quality, and from the problem of the location of the geographical magnetical poles. The second treatise starts with a classical experiment showing the proper alignment of the loadstone to the poles, followed by a lot of experiences about the interaction between two loadstones, between the loadstone and iron, and about the transmission of the magnetic virtue. Garzoni then considers the diffusion of the magnetic virtue inside the stone, outside it, and inside iron. These results are obtained by magnetizing bodies of different shapes and sizes. In particular, Garzoni considers the behaviour of magnetized iron dust. The behaviour of iron placed in the sphere of action of more loadstones is salso investigated. In the subsequent experiments, Garzoni studies the external diffusion of magnetic virtue by displacing a magnetic needle within the sphere of action. At every point, the direction of the needle gives the direction of the magnetic virtue. The configuration Garzoni obtains coincides with the one theorized in the first treatise (look at the accompanying diagrams displaying the lines of propagation of verticity). Garzoni then studies the behaviour of two magnetized needles, and he investigates the action of non–magnetized iron, the properties of the quality of one face and the alteration of the quality of one and two faces. Finally, he quickly mentions spontaneous magnetization and the loss of verticity. Bibliography Bertelli, Timoteo. “Sopra Pietro Peregrino di Maricourt e la sua epistola de magnete.

2015 Peruvian protests against Las Bambas mining project

Groups of people who do not belong to the communities of the area of direct influence and are even located in distant provinces and regions and do not evidence their intention to enter into a dialogue or have a clear platform of struggle are holding a protest since 25 September. The protests escalated on 29 September, when four people were killed and dozens injured in clashes between demonstrators and police, prompting President Ollanta Humala to decree a state of emergency. 29 September clashes On 29 September, an estimated 15,000 people gathered in Challhuahuacho to protest against a $7.4 billion copper mine project. Locals in the region are concerned that the copper mine project will cause environmental damage to the Andean area. Peruvian authorities sent 1,500 police officers and 150 soldiers to the area. Several hundred demonstrators attacked the mine installations and clashed with police, who responded with tear gas. The protest escalated, after law enforcers opened fire on protesters, killing four of them. The four fatalities were all local men. In a press conference, authorities confirmed that Uriel Elguera Chilca (34), Beto Chahuallo Huillca (24) and Alberto Cárdenas Chalco (23) died from gunshots on way to Cusco, while Exaltación Huamaní (30) succumbed to death at Challhuahuacho hospital. Likewise, 23 other people, including eight policemen, were injured in ensuing clashes. Officials say ambulances couldn’t reach the local clinic following the attack because police also shot at a vehicle carrying doctors. MMG says that Las Bambas has reserves of 6.9 million tons of copper and expects to produce more than 2 million tons of copper concentrate in its first five years. The deposit was discovered at more than 4,000 meters above sea level and will become one of the largest copper mines in the world once it is in full production. Construction started on 10 August and began operations in early 2016. Reactions Peruvian President Ollanta Humala regretted the loss of lives during the violent repression of the protest and called on calm and for dialogue. He also stated that "many of the protest leaders (...) come from outside the region and are using the protests to promote their campaigns for the April 2016 general elections". Humala decreed the emergency for 30 days in the southern Andean regions of Cusco and Apurímac, where the mine, Las Bambas, owned by China's MMG Ltd., is under construction. The state of emergency applies to six provinces. Suspending civil liberties and authorizing military patrols, the government announced that more troops would be sent to Apurímac "to restore internal peace". Interior Minister José Luis Pérez Guadalupe said radical groups from outside the area had provoked the clashes. Amnesty International's executive director in Peru, Marina Navarro, called the deaths "unacceptable" in an email sent to the AP. "The price of social protests should not be the death of any person", the statement said.

Bolam v Friern Hospital Management Committee

Bolam v Friern Hospital Management Committee [1957] 1 WLR 582 is an English tort law case that lays down the typical rule for assessing the appropriate standard of reasonable care in negligence cases involving skilled professionals such as doctors. This rule is known as the Bolam test, and states that if a doctor reaches the standard of a responsible body of medical opinion, they are not negligent. Bolam was rejected in the 2015 Supreme Court decision of Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board. Facts Mr Bolam was a voluntary patient at Friern Hospital, a mental health institution run by the Friern Hospital Management Committee. He agreed to undergo electro-convulsive therapy. He was not given any muscle relaxant, and his body was not restrained during the procedure. He flailed about violently before the procedure was stopped, and he suffered some serious injuries, including fractures of the acetabula. He sued the committee for compensation. He argued they were negligent for: not issuing relaxants not restraining him not warning him about the risks involved. At this time, juries were still being used for tort cases in England and Wales, so the judge's role would be to sum up the law and then leave it for the jury to hold the defendant liable or not. Judgment McNair J at the first instance noted that expert witnesses had confirmed, much medical opinion was opposed to the use of relaxant drugs, and that manual restraints could sometimes increase the risk of fracture. Moreover, it was the common practice of the profession to not warn patients of the risk of treatment (when it is small) unless they are asked. He held that what was common practice in a particular profession was highly relevant to the standard of care required. A person falls below the appropriate standard, and is negligent, if he fails to do what a reasonable person would in the circumstances. But when a person professes to have professional skills, as doctors do, the standard of care must be higher. "It is just a question of expression", said McNair J. "I myself would prefer to put it this way, that he is not guilty of negligence if he has acted in accordance with a practice accepted as proper by a responsible body of medical men skilled in that particular art. I do not think there is much difference in sense. It is just a different way of expressing the same thought. Putting it the other way round, a man is not negligent, if he is acting in accordance with such a practice, merely because there is a body of opinion who would take a contrary view. At the same time, that does not mean that a medical man can obstinately and pig-headedly carry on with some old technique if it has been proved to be contrary to what is really substantially the whole of informed medical opinion. Otherwise you might get men today saying: “I do not believe in anaesthetics. I do not believe in antiseptics. I am going to continue to do my surgery in the way it was done in the eighteenth century.” That clearly would be wrong." In this case, the jury delivered a verdict in favour of the defendant hospital. Given the general medical opinions about what was acceptable electro-shock practice, they had not been negligent in the way they carried out the treatment. That passage is quoted very frequently, and has served as the basic rule for professional negligence over the last fifty years. Significance Bolam was re-examined and revised in the 2015 Supreme Court decision of Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board. The law distinguishes between liability flowing from acts and omissions, and liability flowing from misstatements. The Bolam principle addresses the first element and may be formulated as a rule that a doctor, nurse or other health professional is not negligent if he or she acts in accordance with a practice accepted at the time as proper by a responsible body of medical opinion, even though some other practitioners adopt a different practice. In addition, Hedley Byrne & Co. Ltd. v Heller & Partners Ltd. [1964] AC 465 created the rule of "reasonable reliance" by the claimant on the professional judgment of the defendant. "Where a person is so placed that others could reasonably rely upon his judgment or his skill or upon his ability to make careful inquiry, and a person takes it upon himself to give information or advice to, or allows his information or advice to be passed on to, another person who, as he knows or should know, will place reliance upon it, then a duty of care will arise." Because of the nature of the relationship between a medical practitioner and a patient, it is reasonable for the patient to rely on the advice given by the practitioner. Thus, Bolam applies to all the acts and omissions constituting diagnosis and consequential treatment, and Hedley Byrne applies to all advisory activities involving the communication of diagnosis and prognosis, giving of advice on both therapeutic and non-therapeutic options for treatment, and disclosure of relevant information to obtain informed consent. Barnett v Chelsea & Kensington Hospital [1968] 1 All ER 1068. Three men attended at the emergency department but the casualty officer, who was himself unwell, did not see them, advising that they should go home and call their own doctors. One of the men died some hours later. The post mortem showed arsenical poisoning which was a rare cause of death. Even if the deceased had been examined and admitted for treatment, there was little or no chance that the only effective antidote would have been administered to him in time. Although the hospital had been negligent in failing to examine the men, there was no proof that the deceased's death was caused by that negligence. Whitehouse v Jordan [1981] 1 All ER 267: The claimant was a baby who suffered severe brain damage after a difficult birth. The defendant, a senior hospital registrar, was supervising delivery in a high-risk pregnancy. After the mother had been in labour for 22 hours, the defendant used forceps to assist the delivery. The Lords found that the doctor's standard of care did not fall below that of a reasonable doctor in the circumstances and so the baby was awarded no compensation. Sidaway v Bethlem Royal Hospital Governors [1985] AC 871: The claimant suffered from pain in her neck, right shoulder, and arms. Her neurosurgeon took her consent for cervical cord decompression, but did not include in his explanation the fact that in less than 1% of the cases, the said decompression caused paraplegia. She developed paraplegia after the spinal operation. Rejecting her claim for damages, the court held that consent did not require an elaborate explanation of remote side effects. In dissent, Lord Scarman said that the Bolam principle should not apply to the issue of informed consent and that a doctor should have a duty to tell the patient of the inherent and material risk of the treatment proposed. Maynard v West Midlands Regional Health Authority [1985] 1 All ER 635. The patient presented with symptoms of tuberculosis but both the consultant physician and the consultant surgeon took the view that Hodgkin's disease, carcinoma, and sarcoidosis were also possibilities, the first of which if present would have required remedial steps to be taken in its early stages. Instead of waiting for the results of the sputum tests, the consultants carried out a mediastinoscopy to get a biopsy. The inherent risk of damage was to the left laryngeal recurrent nerve, even if the operation was properly done. In the event, only tuberculosis was confirmed. Unfortunately, the risk became a reality and the patient suffered a paralysis of the left vocal cord. The decision of the physician and the surgeon to proceed was said by their expert peers to be reasonable in all the circumstances. Hotson v East Berkshire Area Health Authority [1987] 2 All ER 909. The extent of the hip injuries to a 13-year-old boy was not diagnosed for five days. By the age of 20 years, there was deformity of the hip joint, restricted mobility and permanent disability. The judge found that even if the diagnosis had been made correctly, there was still a 75% risk of the plaintiff's disability developing, but that the medical staff's breach of duty had turned that risk into an inevitability, thereby denying the plaintiff a 25% chance of a good recovery. Damages included an amount of £11,500 representing 25% of the full value of the damages awardable for the plaintiff's disability. On appeal to the Lords, the question was whether the cause of the injury was the fall or the health authority's negligence in delaying treatment, since if the fall had caused the injury the negligence of the authority was irrelevant in regard to the plaintiff's disability. Because the judge had held that on the balance of probabilities, even correct diagnosis and treatment would not have prevented the disability from occurring, it followed that the plaintiff had failed on the issue of causation. It was therefore irrelevant to consider the question of damages. Wilsher v Essex Area Health Authority [1988] AC 1074 The defendant hospital, initially acting through an inexperienced junior doctor, negligently administered excessive oxygen during the post-natal care of a premature child who subsequently became blind. Excessive oxygen was, according to the medical evidence, one of five possible factors that could have led to blindness and, therefore, the Lords found that it was impossible to say that it had caused, or materially contributed, to the injury and the claim was dismissed. In a minority view, Mustill LJ. argued that if it is established that conduct of a certain kind materially adds to the risk of injury, if the defendant engages in such conduct in breach of a common law duty, and if the injury is the kind to which the conduct related, then the defendant is taken to have caused the injury even though the existence and extent of the contribution made by the breach cannot be ascertained. Bolitho v City and Hackney Health Authority [1997] 4 All ER 771: A two-year-old boy suffered brain damage as a result of the bronchial air passages becoming blocked leading to cardiac arrest. It was agreed that the only course of action to prevent the damage was to have the boy intubated. The doctor who negligently failed to attend to the boy said that she would not have intubated had she attended. There was evidence from one expert witness that he would not have intubated whereas five other experts said that they would have done so. The House of Lords held that there would have to be a logical basis for the opinion not to intubate. This would involve a weighing of risks against benefit in order to achieve a defensible conclusion. This means that a judge will be entitled to choose between two bodies of expert opinion and to reject an opinion which is 'logically indefensible'. This has been interpreted as being a situation where the Court sets the law not the profession. Albrighton v RPA Hospital, where a patient in Royal Prince Alfred Hospital who had been born with a spinal problem had her spinal cord totally severed leaving her a paraplegic. Reynolds JA rejected the proposition that doctors could not be negligent if they acted in accordance with the usual and customary practice and procedure in their “medical community”, holding that "it is not the law that, if all or most of the medical practitioners in Sydney habitually fail to take an available precaution to avoid foreseeable risk of injury to their patients, then none can be found guilty of negligence". F v R, Where Chief Justice King said, "In many cases an approved professional practice as to disclosure will be decisive. But professions may adopt unreasonable practices. Practices may develop in professions, particularly as to disclosure, not because they serve the interests of the clients, but because they protect the interests or convenience of members of the profession. The court has an obligation to scrutinize professional practices to ensure that they accord with the standard of reasonableness imposed by the law. A practice as to disclosure approved and adopted by a profession or section of it may be in many cases the determining consideration as to what is reasonable. On the facts of a particular case the answer to the question whether the defendant’s conduct conformed to approved professional practice may decide the issue of negligence, and the test has been posed in such terms in a number of cases. The ultimate question, however, is not whether the defendant’s conduct accords with the practices of his profession or some part of it, but whether it conforms to the standard of reasonable care demanded by the law. That is a question for the court and the duty of deciding it cannot be delegated to any profession or group in the community." Misfeasance Where it can be shown that the decision-maker was not merely negligent, but acted with "malice", the tort of "misfeasance in public office" may give rise to a remedy. An example might be a prison doctor refusing to treat a prisoner because he or she had previously been difficult or abusive. Although proof of spite or ill-will may make a decision-maker's act unlawful, actual malice in the sense of an act intended to do harm to a particular individual, is not necessary. It will be enough that the decision-maker knew that he or she was acting unlawfully and that this would cause injury to some person, or was recklessly indifferent to that result. Palmer v Tees Health Authority [1998] All ER 180; (1999) Lloyd’s Medical Reports 151 (CA) A psychiatric out-patient, who was known to be dangerous, murdered a four-year-old child. The claim was that the defendant had failed to diagnose that there was a real, substantial, and foreseeable risk of the patient committing serious sexual offences against children and that, as a result, it had failed to provide any adequate treatment for him to reduce the risk of him committing such offences and/or to prevent him from being released from the hospital while he was at risk of committing such offences. But the court struck out the claim on the grounds that there was no duty of care towards the child, as any child, at any time, was in the same danger. Furthermore, as the patient did not suffer from a treatable mental illness, there was no legal right to either treat or detain the person. Akenzua v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2002] EWCA Civ 1470, (2003) 1 WLR 741 where a dangerous criminal due to be deported, was released by the police/immigration services to act as an informant and killed a member of the public. The Lords held that if a public officer knows that his or her acts and omissions will probably injure a person or class of persons, the public body (or the state) will be liable for the consequences. In this case, it was arguable that there had been an illegal use of the power to permit the deportee to remain at liberty and that the officials exercising that power must have known that it was illegal. Given the criminal's record, the officials must at least have been reckless as to the consequences. For these purposes, it was not necessary to prove foresight that a particular individual might be at risk: it was enough that it was foreseeable that the criminal would harm somebody. Palmer was distinguishable because the relevant officials had the power to detain and deport the dangerous person.

Jasper Pittard

Jasper Pittard (born 1 April 1991) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was one of 3 players drafted in the first round in the 2009 AFL Draft. Jasper is a former Fitzroy and Flemington Juniors footballer. He is an athletic and versatile player whose kicking skills and ability to read the play can hurt the opposition. The left-footer can also provide plenty of run from defence. A Vic Country U18 representative in 2009, he scored 10.40 mins for the 3 km at Draft Camp, but was unable to do speed work as he was recovering from injury. He was rated by the AFL clubs as the best interviewee at the camp. He averaged 18 disposals in 13 matches for the Falcons with an efficiency rate of 71 per cent. He also played senior football for Torquay Football Club in the Bellarine Football League in 2008. In early 2010, Pittard decided to shorten his surname by dropping "McMillan" for simplicity. Pittard debuted for the Power in the opening round of the 2010 NAB cup alongside seven other rookie players. Although he didn't stand out as much as some of the other debutantes, he contributed with 3 kicks and 3 handballs. After a 25 possession match against Adelaide in round 4 he was nominated for the 2011 AFL Rising Star award. Pittard played all 25 games in 2014 and was the team's designated kicker from the kick ins. He managed to eradicate many of the fundamental errors which had previously characterised his game. His finals series was very solid, proving his ability to perform under pressure. Pittard put together another solid year in 2015, playing 20 games. Pittard was traded, along with teammate Jared Polec, to North Melbourne at the conclusion of the 2018 season.

Rookley Manor, Hampshire

Rookley Manor is a Grade II* listed country house, located in Up Somborne in Hampshire, England. Background Located within the fertile Test Valley as part of the parish of Godshill, Hampshire, it was first established as la Spaund Manor prior to 1203, under the control of the de Aula family. By the middle of the 13th century it was owned by William Russell, the Lord of Yaverland, leased to his nobleman John Rivers. By 1280 it was owned by William's son Richard Russell, who by 1316 had passed it to Barton Priory possibly for use as an Oratory; the hamlet still to this day has never had a church. By 1431 it was leased by John Roucle, who changed his name to the more anglophile John Rookley. Most of the present day farms surrounding the current hamlet of Rookley were first noted in the Middle Ages, but all were associated with the original manor house. At some point, the estate fell into the ownership of the Worsley baronets of Appuldurcombe House. Structure Although the current two-storey property is dated by some from the early 18th century, the core of the house is constructed around a late-Medieval timber frame farmhouse structure, dating it to the late 15th century and possibly as late as 1670, which has latterly been extensively reclad. The rendered southwest facade dates from 1707, whilst the front which faces southeast was reconstructed in the late 1700s in a rough-rendered gothic architecture form. The north side is painted red brick, in English bond pattern which exposes the original timber frame, and is linked to a single-storey service wing. The whole house is topped by a hipped roof, into which windows on some sides extended, mainly using Yorkshire-style sash windows. Internally entranced through a centrally located open porch on an extending angular bay, the four-panelled door leads to a marble-floored entrance hall and 17th century oak staircase. Many of the rooms retain 18th century fireplaces, whilst the main bedroom retains both its fireplace and complete oak panelling. Externally, a 20th-century two-storey addition on the north links to an 18th-century two-storey cottage, which further extends to a similarly dated single-storey stable block. All are constructed in matching Flemish bond red brick, with casement windows. There are farming buildings, two walled gardens, two apple orchards and a Lime tree-lined avenue in the immediate surrounding of grounds. From 1795 enclosure of the surrounding farm lands had started to occur, and by 1837 the manor grounds including the associated farm were listed as having a total size of . First listed in 1955, the farmhouse became Grade II* listed in August 1984. Residents Leased out from the estate of Worsley baronets of Appuldurcombe House, in the late 17th century the house was occupied by Thomas Hobbs (1647–1698), a physician to James II of England whose other clients included noted poet John Dryden. From 1776–1783 it was leased as a hunting lodge to HRH Prince Henry, Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn (7 November 1745 – 18 September 1790), third son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and grandson of King George II. His equerry from 1783–1790 was Thomas Boothby Parkyns MP (24 July 1755 – 17 November 1800), first son of Sir Thomas Parkyns, 3rd Parkyns Baronet, of Bunny Park, Notts. After Prince Henry's death in 1790, Parkyns took over the lease until his own death from oedema on 17 November 1800. In 1854 Charles Anderson-Pelham, 2nd Earl of Yarborough sold the property to Mr. W.J. Lyle, who later sold it onwards to Mr. Reginald Freke Williams. In June 2014 it was put up for sale via agents Strutt & Parker. George IV and Maria Fitzherbert After the twice widowed Maria Fitzherbert entered London society, in spring 1784 she was introduced to George, Prince of Wales, six years her junior. Pursuing an affair, in part believed undertaken at Rookley Manor, on 15 December 1785 they illegally married under the Royal Marriages Act 1772 in the drawing room of her house in Park Street, Mayfair, London. Although George latter married his first cousin, Duchess Caroline of Brunswick who bore him a daughter Princess Charlotte of Wales, on 10 January 1796, George wrote his last will and testament, bequeathing all his "worldly property . . . to my Maria Fitzherbert, my wife, the wife of my heart and soul". During the summer of 1798, by which time he had separated from Caroline and was bored with his mistress, Frances Villiers, Countess of Jersey, the couple reconciled again after the Pope deemed their marriage legitimate, meeting again at previous tryst locations including Rookley. During the Regency era (1811–1820), George had so enjoyed the tennis court at Rookley, that he had it dug up and moved to nearby Crawley Court which he was leasing at the time. Before he died, Maria wrote to George wishing him well, whilst the King asked to be buried with Fitzherbert's eye miniature around his neck, which was done. Vanity Fair William Makepeace Thackeray was a successful 19th century writer and novelist by the time that he came to write Vanity Fair, but was also a virtual-widower as his wife had been held in a mental institute since 1842 due to severe depression. This made Thackeray, even with three young children in boarding school, a noted traveller/person of no fixed abode. Thackeray had strong ties to Hampshire, having in 1815 after his father died in India been sent to his grandmother's residence in Fareham for his education, and latterly resided there with his aunt. Having been friended by the elder Charles Anderson-Pelham, 1st Earl of Yarborough, it is hence strongly rumoured that as his father had allowed Thackeray to stay in other property that he owned in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, that after his father's death that Charles Anderson-Pelham, 2nd Earl of Yarborough allowed Thackeray to write Vanity Fair whilst temporarily resident at Rookley Manor. The later novel was first published as a series of extracts in Punch magazine between January 1847 and July 1848.

Jack and Sarah

Jack and Sarah is a 1995 British romantic comedy film written and directed by Tim Sullivan and starring Richard E. Grant, Samantha Mathis, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Cherie Lunghi and Ian McKellen. The film was originally released in the UK on 2 June 1995. Plot Jack (Richard E. Grant) and Sarah (Imogen Stubbs) are expecting a baby together, but a complication during the birth leads to Sarah's death. Jack, grief-stricken, goes on an alcoholic bender, leaving his new daughter to be taken care of by his parents and Sarah's mother, until they decide to take drastic action: they return the baby to Jack whilst he is asleep, leaving him to take care of it. Although he struggles initially, he eventually begins to dote on the child and names her Sarah. Despite this, he nevertheless finds it increasingly difficult to juggle childcare with his high-powered job and, though both sets of the child's grandparents lend a hand along with William (Ian McKellen), an aging ex-alcoholic who, once sober, proves to be a remarkably efficient babysitter and housekeeper, he needs more help. Amy (Samantha Mathis), an American he meets in the restaurant where she works as a waitress, who takes a shine to Sarah, takes up the role of nanny, moving in with Jack after one meeting. Although Amy clashes with William and the grandparents, especially Jack's mother, Margaret (Judi Dench), Jack and Amy gradually grow closer—but Jack's boss has also taken an interest in him.

Gregory Herd

Dr. Gregory Herd is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in The Spectacular Scarlet Spider #1. He originally operated as the villain Override and worked with his wife, who operated as Aura. He becomes the fiery villain Shadrac in The Amazing Spider-Man vol. 2 #2. Fictional character biography Together with his wife (who operated under the name Aura), Dr. Gregory Herd worked as a mercenary for hire as Override. During the "Spider-Hunt" storyline, in which a massive bounty is placed on Spider-Man's head, Herd's wife is gravely injured and left in medical care. To cover her steadily mounting medical expenses, Override goes to work as one of Norman Osborn's costumed employees. Desperate for some way to save his wife, Herd asks to join Osborn's "Gathering of Five" ceremony in order to gain one of five "gifts". However, Herd is the recipient of death, which gives Herd new powers while steadily destroying him over time. He falls under the thumb of a man named Dolman, who owned one of the five artifacts used in the Gathering ceremony before it was stolen by Osborn. Dolman intends to use Herd as a tool to regain what Osborn had stolen. Herd assaults Osborn Industries but runs into the current Spider-Man, Mattie Franklin. Herd dismisses Franklin with little effort but is later forced to battle the original Spider-Man and Iceman while trying to tell officials that Dolman was tampering with his mind. He convinces Iceman to freeze him entirely in an attempt to stay alive. Though temporarily frozen, Shadrac is still dying albeit in a less painful manner. Later pursuing Dolman, Shadrac, Iceman, and Spider-Man team up to capture him. After Dolman merges with the Spindle and gains powers, Shadrac "overrides" him and possesses his body in a last-ditch effort to stop Dolman and save himself. Civil War Somehow separated from both Shadrac and Dolman, with Aura restored to human form, and back in his original costume, Herd joins Hammerhead's "villain army" that was captured by Iron Man and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Powers and abilities As Override Dr. Gregory Herd wore a cybernetically enhanced costume that allowed him to control, or "override", any other electronic device (including but by no means limited to Spider-Man's web-shooters). As Shadrac Due to the Gathering of the Five ceremony, Herd has internalized the powers of his cybernetic suit as well as gaining the ability to override emotions. In addition, his entire body is constantly wreathed in mystical flames which, in addition to slowly killing him, he can manipulate in the form of blasts from his hands or an aura he can expand at will. While the maximum temperature of these flames is unknown, Shadrac can melt metal with a touch. Other versions MC2 In the MC2 universe Gregory Herd is shown as a participant in The Gathering of Five, which was interrupted in this continuity. A prior story revealed that Mattie Franklin and Madame Web eventually gained the gifts (power and immortality) they had in the mainstream continuity, but what became of Herd after the first attempt was not shown.

Keikyu 1000 series

The was a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type formerly operated by the private railway operator Keikyu on commuter services in the Tokyo area of Japan from 1959 until June 2010. Operations The trains were used on the Keikyu Main Line, Keikyu Airport Line, Keikyu Daishi Line, Keikyu Zushi Line, and Keikyu Kurihama Line. They were also used on Toei Asakusa Line inter-running services until 2008. The last train made its final run in service on the Daishi Line on 28 June 2010. Formations The 1000 series fleet consisted of two-, four-, six-, and eight-car sets. By 2010, only four- and six-car sets remained in service, formed as shown below. 6-car sets The M1 and M1c cars each had one lozenge-type pantograph. 4-car sets The M1 and M1c cars each had one lozenge-type pantograph. Interior History Four 800 series cars were built in 1958 as prototypes, based on the earlier 700 series design. The type was subsequently reclassified "1000 series", with a further 352 vehicles built from 1959 to 1978. The early batches had non-gangwayed driving cabs with two windscreen panes, similar to the 700 series, but later batches included a centre gangway door at the cab ends. Sets built from 1971 onwards had air-conditioning from new, whereas earlier sets were subsequently retrofitted with air-conditioning. Withdrawals commenced in 1986 with the arrival of 1500 series trains. In 2008, one four-car set and one six-car set were repainted in early liveries to mark the 110th anniversary of Keikyu. A special farewell train ran on 27 June 2010, and the last 1000 series sets remained in operation until 28 June on the Daishi Line. Resale A number of 1000 series cars were resold to the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad ("Kotoden") in Shikoku, becoming the 1080 series and 1300 series. Other cars were also resold to the Hokuso Railway, becoming the Hokuso 7150 series. The identities and histories of the 1000 cars sold to Kotoden are as shown below. Preservation Two 1000 series cars, 1351 and 1356, remain stored at Keikyu's Kurihama Works.

W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism

W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism () is a 1971 film by Serbian director Dušan Makavejev that explores the relationship between communist politics and sexuality, as well as presenting the controversial life and work of Austrian-American psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957). The film's narrative structure is unconventional, intermixing fictional and documentary elements. After initial screenings, both in and out of Yugoslavia, W.R. was banned in that country for the next 16 years. Makavejev was subsequently indicted there on criminal charges of "derision" towards "the state, its agencies, and representatives" after he made intemperate remarks to a West German newspaper about the ban. His exile from his home country then became permanent until the end of the regime. Synopsis The film intercuts documentary footage and clips from other films — notably the Stalinist propaganda film The Vow (1946) — with an imaginative and satirical narrative about a highly political Yugoslav woman who seduces a visiting Soviet celebrity ice skater. Despite different settings, characters and time periods, the different elements produce a single story of human sexuality and revolution through a montage effect. The woman, Milena, violates her proletarian convictions (and rejects the sexual advances of a worker) by pursuing a Joseph Stalin-like celebrity ice skater — Vladimir Ilyich (Lenin's first and middle names) — who represents both class oppression and corruption from the West into communist beliefs. She succeeds, with difficulty, in sexual consummation, but V.I. is unable to reconcile his inner conflicts and ends the encounter by decapitating her. Distraught, V.I. sings a Russian song after the murder: "François Villon's Prayer" by Bulat Okudzhava. Sequences Tuli Kupferberg Poet and performance artist Tuli Kupferberg of the band The Fugs, dressed as a soldier, parodies war and the sexual nature of man's fascination with guns by stalking affluent New Yorkers on the street and masturbating his toy rifle. The scene is set to The Fugs' 1965 song “Kill for Peace”. As part of the film's climax, the gun masturbation imagery is intercut with other orgasmic sequences. This segment highlights Reich's ideas that sexual frustration and violence are connected. Artists Artist Betty Dodson discusses her experiences in drawing acts of masturbation, as well as her discussions within consciousness raising groups about female sexual response. The Dodson sequences are relatively straight forward documentary interviews; Dodson's large scale drawing of a man masturbating dominates the background of the shots. This segment illustrates a more free attitude toward sexuality. New York artist Nancy Godfrey was among a loose group of practitioners called Plaster Casters. In a meeting with Jim Buckley, co-founder-editor of the porn magazine Screw, Godfrey makes a plaster cast of Buckley's erect penis as a documentary part of the film. The soundtrack features another song by The Fugs, “I'm Gonna Kill Myself Over Your Dead Body”, with Tuli Kupferberg satirically mimicking John Wayne in his a cappella vocals. This scene was a point of contention for the censors. On UK video prints Buckley's penis is covered with psychedelic colors added in editing (the cinema version was unusually passed fully uncut). Jackie Curtis Jackie Curtis, one of Andy Warhol's entourage and occasional film star, is shown on the streets of New York enjoying an ice cream cone with a partner. Curtis' appearance highlighted Reich's theories of gender and sexuality. Screw Screw was an underground magazine that pioneered in bringing hardcore pornography into the American mainstream during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The film shows a behind-the-scenes look at the publication, in which editor Jim Buckley casually consorts with his nude models. Screws notorious co-founder-editor Al Goldstein is neither seen nor referred to in this sequence. Alexander LowenThe film also features a rare on-screen interview with neo-Reichian therapist Alexander Lowen, the founder of bioenergetic analysis, during a therapy session, including scream treatment.Others''' Reich's daughter Eva (1924–2008) appears on camera, speaking about the high accuracy of her father's work and the sickness of contemporary life. The Orgonon, Reich's last home and lab near Rangeley, Maine, USA, is seen with brief shots of the interior and exterior, including a cloudbuster. A couple of scenes in the film are re-stagings of scenes from Sergei Eisenstein films, to allude to a moment of more pure (truthful) film making in the Soviet Union. Shots of the incinerator in which Reich's books were burned in New York City are included. Cast Milena Dravić as Milena Ivica Vidović as Vladimir Ilyich Jagoda Kaloper as Jagoda Tuli Kupferberg as US Soldier Zoran Radmilović as Radmilović Jackie Curtis as Herself Miodrag Andrić as Soldier Živka Matić as Landlady Wilhelm Reich as Himself (archive footage) Mikheil Gelovani as Joseph Stalin (clips from The Vow.)

FEI World Equestrian Games

The FEI World Equestrian Games are the major international championships for equestrianism, and are administered by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI). The games have been held every four years, halfway between sets of consecutive Summer Olympic Games, since 1990. Prior to that year, all ten of the FEI's individual disciplines held separate championships, usually in separate countries. The modern WEG runs over two weeks and, like the Olympics, the location rotates to different parts of the world. Riders and horses competing at WEG go through a rigorous selection process, and each participating country sends teams that have distinguished themselves through competition as the nation's best in each respective discipline. At the 2010 Games, 57 countries were represented by 800 people and their horses. The WEG gradually expanded to include eight of the FEI's ten disciplines: combined driving, dressage, endurance riding, eventing, paraequestrianism, reining, show jumping, and vaulting. The FEI's two remaining regional disciplines, horseball and tent pegging, still conduct independent championships. The 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky marked a series of firsts in WEG history: the first time WEG were held outside Europe; the first time that championships for eight FEI disciplines were held at one location (the Kentucky Horse Park); and the first time WEG had a title sponsor (in this case the animal health and nutrition group corporation Alltech, headquartered in the nearby city of Nicholasville). Permanent upgrades added to the Kentucky Horse Park leading up to the event included the completion of a 6,000 seat, climate-controlled indoor arena and completion of a 7,500 seat outdoor stadium. The Tryon International Equestrian Center, near Mill Spring, North Carolina, was the location of the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games. Locations Medal count The current historical medal count (as of 2018) of the FEI World Equestrian Games is as follows: Notes Medal count is sorted by total gold medals, then total silver medals, then total bronze medals, then alphabetically. The table doesn't count events before 1990. The reunified Federal Republic of Germany (1990 onwards) is regarded by the FEI as being the same country as pre-reunification West Germany (1948-1990), as part of an unbroken line going back to Germany's affiliation to the FEI in 1927 during its Weimar Republic (1919-1933). If Germany and West Germany were considered to be two separate countries, their medal tallies would be: Germany 26 gold, 14 silver, and 20 bronze; West Germany 4 gold, 4 silver, and 4 bronze.

Jim van Os

Jim van Os (born 1960) is a Dutch professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology and Public Mental Health at Utrecht University Medical Centre, the Netherlands. Career Van Os studied medicine in Amsterdam, psychiatry in Jakarta, Casablanca, Bordeaux, and London, and subsequently epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He is professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology and Public Mental Health and Head of the Division of Neuroscience at Utrecht University Medical Centre, as well as visiting professor at the Division of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, DeCrespigny Park, London, United Kingdom. In 2011 he was elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Arguments that "schizophrenia" does not exist In 2009, van Os proposed the retirement of the diagnosis, "schizophrenia", citing its lack of validity and the risk of fundamental attribution error associated with the label. The label "schizophrenia" could cause difficulties on the clinician's part in communicating with the diagnosed person, due to erroneous preconceptions associated with the label. In its place, van Os proposed a broad and general syndromal definition, more suited to personal diagnosis, which would reduce attribution error. He cited previous work by other researchers that explains psychosis as aberrant salience regulation. In 2014 he explained his views in a TED talk and was listed in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science list of "the world’s most influential scientific minds of our time" (2014/2015). In 2015 he co-authored an article in a national newspaper, suggesting that "schizo-labels" be abandoned and replaced with more scientific and patient-friendly terminology. The following week, his colleagues Rene Kahn, Iris Sommer, and Damiaan Denys published a counter-article, labeling Van Os and his colleagues as "antipsychiatrists". In 2016 he published an editorial arguing that disease classifications should drop the concept of "schizophrenia", as it is an unhelpful description of symptoms.

Theme (arts)

In art, theme is usually about life, society or human nature, but can be any other subject. Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a work. Themes are usually implied rather than explicitly stated. Deep thematic content is not required in a work, but the great majority of works have some kind of thematic content, not always intended by the author. Analysis of changes (or implied change) in dynamic characteristics of the work can provide insight into a particular theme. A theme is not the same as the subject of a work. For example, the subject of Star Wars is "the battle for control of the galaxy between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance". The themes explored in the films might be "moral ambiguity" or "the conflict between technology and nature". Themes differ from motifs in the visual arts in that themes are ideas conveyed by the visual experience as a whole, while motifs are elements of the content. In the same way, a literary story with repeated symbolism related to chess does not make the story's theme the similarity of life to chess. Themes arise from the interplay of the plot, the characters, and the attitude the author takes to them, and the same story can be given very different themes in the hands of different authors.

Hull History Centre

The Hull History Centre is an archive and local studies library in Hull, England, that houses the combined collections of both the Hull City Council and Hull University archives and local studies resources. This collaboration between Hull City Council, Hull University, and the Heritage Lottery Fund made Hull the first city in the UK to unite local council and university collections under one roof. Background Before the creation of the Hull History Centre, Hull's archives were kept at three separate repositories: the University of Hull, the Local Studies Library, and the Hull City Archives. The partnership that led to the purpose-built history centre in Hull began nearly ten years ago, springing out of a desire to provide greater accessibility to, and better preservation facilities for, the archives. Plans began to develop between Hull City Council and the University of Hull, and ultimately the Heritage Lottery Fund made the dream a reality by providing the Hull History Centre with a £7.7 million grant, the largest ever lottery grant for a UK archive project. Building for the centre began in late 2007 and on 25 January 2010, the Hull History Centre was finally opened to the public. The building itself was designed by architectural firm Pringle Richards Sharratt with the goals of providing a highly accessible and visible structure, as well as a focus of local pride. The design of the upper floor features an environmentally controlled repository while the ground level features public spaces adjoined by a linear arcade overlooking a new park. Collections The Hull History Centre houses the combined archives of Hull City Council and the University of Hull, along with other various local studies resources. The collections include the standard books, volumes, and documents, as well as maps, paintings, pamphlets, photos, and film. If lined up end to end, the History Centre's collections would cross the local 2,220-metre long Humber Bridge four times. Main Collections University Collections The University Collections are made up of about 750,000 documents consisting of around 200 organisations, individuals, and families.

After signing to Victor Entertainment, the group released both their self-titled debut EP and their first album in 2017 before performing their first overseas concerts at the end of the year. With another EP and album released in 2018, Lovebites quickly garnered international attention and won that year's Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band. They released their third album, Electric Pentagram, in 2020, and it reached number 9 on the Oricon chart, becoming their highest-charting to date. History Formation and first album (2016–2017) Lovebites was formed in Tokyo in 2016 by bassist Miho and drummer Haruna. The two met while members of Destrose, another all-female metal band that disbanded in 2015. After recruiting guitarist Midori and support guitarist and keyboardist Miyako (then known as Mi-Ya), the four chose vocalist Asami based on a demo she made. Midori was in the band Gekijo Metalicche, Miyako was a member of A Drop of Joker and 21g, while Asami was a backup singer for Vamps and Uverworld. During one rehearsal, the musicians performed "Love Bites (So Do I)" by Halestorm. Feeling that the song fit well with Asami's voice, it left an impression on all of the members and they chose Lovebites as the name for their new band. They had their first concert on November 18, 2016 at Tsutaya O-West. Lovebites released their debut EP, The Lovebites EP, in May 2017 via Victor Entertainment. Miho explained that it was more of a demo to get the band signed, but the label liked it so much they had it properly mastered and released. It was mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila, who have worked with acts like Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Stratovarius, at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland. The EP was released in the United Kingdom on August 25 by JPU Records and in North America by Sliptrick Records on August 31. Support member Miyako became a full member of the band in August 2017. Their first full-length album Awakening from Abyss was released in Japan and North America on October 25, and in the UK two days later. It was again mixed and mastered by Karmila and Jussila and includes re-recordings of the four tracks from their debut EP. The group played just a handful of shows before their first gigs outside Japan: two nights at Hyper Japan Christmas and one show at Camden Underworld, both in London at the end of November 2017. International recognition (2018–present) In 2018, Lovebites performed on the Japanese leg of Warped Tour and released their second EP Battle Against Damnation on June 6. Days later, they won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band. They performed at Wacken Open Air on August 4, becoming the first Japanese all-female rock band to appear at the German festival. They also performed on the main stage at Bloodstock Open Air on August 10, 2018. In November, Lovebites held their first European tour that saw them visit the Netherlands, Germany, France and the UK. The band released their second album Clockwork Immortality on December 5 in Japan. Limited editions of the album include a DVD or Blu-ray of the concert video Battle in the East, which was recorded on June 28, 2018 at Tsutaya O-East. It was released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand two days later by Arising Empire, and in the UK by JPU Records on January 18, 2019. Lovebites was the opening act for Arch Enemy at two shows in Shanghai and Beijing, China on March 23 and 24, 2019. In June, they performed at the Download Festival in both Donington, UK and Madrid, Spain and at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium. Their set at Donington was cited by its organizers and Metal Hammer as one of the festival's highlight performances, including when Asami joined Halestorm on stage to sing her band's namesake song, which she had also done earlier at Download Festival Japan on March 21. On July 10, Lovebites released their first standalone concert video and live album, Daughters of the Dawn - Live in Tokyo, recorded on January 27, 2019 at Mynavi Blitz Akasaka. They were a support act on DragonForce's UK tour throughout the first half of November, and opened for Halestorm in Tokyo on December 2. The band's third studio album, Electric Pentagram, was released on January 29, 2020. It was set to be supported by a seven-date Japanese tour from February 14 to April 12, but the last three concerts have been postponed until June due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Japan. Music and influences Although hailing from Tokyo, Lovebites' music is heavily influenced by the new wave of British heavy metal which led their music to be compared to Iron Maiden and Rage. Miho said she always wanted to play a combination of power metal and "a little bit of old school [heavy metal]." She also noted that their decision to wear all-white clothing, as opposed to the genre's stereotypical black, was made to contrast with their old school sound and have them stand out. Their lyrics are written in English even though the musicians do not speak the language fluently. An exception is the Haruna-penned song "Bravehearted" on their debut EP, which was written in Japanese and intended for Destrose. The group frequently collaborates with former Light Bringer keyboardist Mao on composing and arranging songs. All of their releases have been mixed and mastered by Finnish audio engineers Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila, and all of their album cover illustrations since Awakening from Abyss have been created by Spanish artists David López Gómez and Carlos Vincente León. These album covers all feature a wolf to symbolize that, by playing the non-mainstream genre of heavy metal, Lovebites are a "lone wolf" in the music scene. The wolf is a mascot to represent the band, like Eddie for Iron Maiden or Vic Rattlehead for Megadeth. Miho likes Iron Maiden, Pantera, Mötley Crüe and Anthrax. She referred to her playing as more showmanship than technical, and cited Steve Harris as a particular influence alongside the style of Nikki Sixx. Haruna has played drums since she was thirteen years old, and began writing songs on a keyboard at fourteen. She bought a twin drum pedal after seeing a metal band use it during her first visit to a live house. From elementary school up to high school her favorite band was B'z, and Helloween's Master of the Rings was the first metal music she heard. Midori listed Kiko Loureiro, Nuno Bettencourt and Yngwie Malmsteen as her biggest guitar influences. Generally speaking, she said that she plays the "flashy and aggressive" guitar solos in the band, while Miyako plays the "slower, more melodic" ones. Miyako has played classical piano since she was three and guitar since high school. Having grown up listening to classic rock bands like Deep Purple and Rainbow with her mother, Miyako ended up being very influenced by Ritchie Blackmore. But she has also been influenced by more modern guitarists, such as Timothy Henson and Scott LePage from Polyphia. It was Disarmonia Mundi's Ettore Rigotti who inspired Miyako to start composing and arranging songs. Asami comes from a R&B and soul music background and likes artists such as Alicia Keys and Aretha Franklin.

Western Reds Touch Football

The Western Reds are a touch football team based in Sydney, New South Wales. They are currently controlled by Jovin Media, and have a team in the Balmain Touch Association competition. Founded in 2000 as Toongabbie, they entered into the Westmead Touch Association competition for the 2000/2001 season. They continued for two seasons under the name, before rebranding themselves as Western Reds. History Westmead Competition (2000-2007) The Western Reds touch football team was established in September, 2000, and joined the Westmead Touch Association for the 2000/2001 season. Originally playing under the name of Toongabbie for the first two seasons, they recorded losses of 12-0 and 14-0 consecutively in their first two matches. It would take the team nearly two seasons to win a game, which came late in their second season. The name Western Reds was voted on for season 2002/2003, to associate the team with their red shirts and western Sydney heritage. Playing under a new name, the Reds narrowly missed a finals berth. 2003/2004 saw a mass exodus of players, with only five of thirteen players re-signing from the previous season. The club recruited a number of key players and, with fresh talent and enthusiasm spearheading the way, played their first ever finals match. The following three seasons were relatively successful, with finals appearances in each. At the time, 2005/2006 was undoubtedly the club's most successful season, which included several big wins, and a Grand Final appearance. 2006/2007 saw a change in the club's jersey. Gone were the original plain red tee's, replaced by a more professional looking tri-colour shirt which included white with black stripes. The Reds also farewelled veterans Steven Dearth and Brendon Solomons after six seasons of service. Balmain Competition (2007-present) Making a move to the inner west, season 2007/2008 saw the team compete in the Balmain Association, a move welcomed by players and fans alike. The season provided mixed results, as the boys struggled to find their feet in the superior competition, which was highlighted by a record 23-2 loss. 2008/2009 signified a huge turn around for the Reds, with a number of solid results on the field including a 17-0 win. Luke Foord scored 23 tries, whilst the team returned to semi finals football after finishing 3rd on the ladder. Season 2009/2010 marked the 10th season of the Western Reds. The team commemorated the achievement with a new playing strip, logo and website. The Reds also announced sponsorship deals with Paramount Lawyers and Jovin Media and took on a squad of 15 full-time players. Despite being bundled out of the semi's, the Reds had completed their most successful season in their 10-year history, with 9 wins (including 6 in a row), and 113 team tries. The Red's managed to complete season 2010/2011 on top of the table for the first time. But despite finishing 1st, history repeated itself when the Reds crashed out of the semi's for the third season in a row. A number of records were set during the season, including the Reds biggest ever win (22-4), whilst Pete Brouwer broke Luke Foord's try scoring record in the final game, with 25 tries for the season. Seasons 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 were stop-start affairs, with the Reds struggling to gain any momentum due to several wash outs and opposition forfeits. With an inconsistent playing roster, the Reds adopted an aggressive recruitment drive, as nine rookies were added to the team list over the two seasons. 2012/2013 saw 21 players take the field for the Reds, the largest playing roster in the team's history. New Sponsorship and Jersey (2016-Present) 2016 saw a new multi-hundred dollar sponsorship deal with The Smoking Barrels Barbecue. Along with the deal came new jerseys replacing the old strip and also saw the end to the Reds partnership with Paramount Lawyers. Western Reds management we're also able to re-sign several key member including captain Gavin Smith, staving off retirement, along with locking in new talent, wingers Brett Thorley and Jacob Riley. The Smoking Barrels Barbecue sponsorship was terminated by The Western Reds in 2017, due to unprofessional dealings that the Reds wished to distance themselves from. The 2018/19 season sees captain Gavin Smith once again pull on the jersey for a record 19th season to steer the team around the park. Players Current squad Club Records Biggest Win 18 tries, 22-4 against The Tweeds - Round 7, 2010/2011 Biggest Loss 21 tries, 2-23 against Dark Horses - Round 5, 2007/2008 Most Consecutive Wins 6 matches, Rounds 4 to 9, 2009/2010 Most Consecutive Loses 19 matches, Round 1, 2000/2001 to Round 7, 2001/2002 Most Matches 160 – Gavin Smith (2000–2013) 128 – David Forsyth (2001–2013) 112 – Andrew Dickinson (2003–2013) Most Tries 109 – Gavin Smith 84 – Lachlan Coles 74 – Luke Foord Most Tries in a Season 25 – Peter Brouwer (2010/2011) Most Tries in a Match 9 – Ty Morgan (2005/2006) See also Touch football (disambiguation) Sources/References redstouch.com The Western Reds Touch Football Record Book by Gavin Smith External links Official Western Reds Touch Football Website Category:Sports teams in Sydney Category:Touch teams

Cardkey

Cardkey was a producer of electronic access control products and was based in Simi Valley, California. They were the first company to develop and widely distribute "Electronic Access Control Systems". The company's original readers used cards which were made from barium ferrite and worked by magnetically attracting and repelling locking/unlocking cores within the reader module mechanism. These cards were primarily used by fraternal organizations and clubs, such as BPOE (Elks) and others. From there they were the first to develop Wiegand cards and readers which were again magnetically based but were more reliable and did not require calibration as used in the barium ferrite readers. These cards and readers were highly programmable, and used in applications ranging from ADT (American District Telegraph) to government installations worldwide. In the UK they had offices in Manchester and Reading and sold their systems to companies such as British Telecom, Shell and BP. The main facility for Cardkey was located on Nordhoff and Mason in Chatsworth with an additional location on Cozycroft in Chatsworth which housed Customer Engineering and a singular Engineering project (PASS system) in approximately 1978. They were once a division of Greer Hydraulics, Inc., and in January 1999 they were bought out by Johnson Controls, a company whose founder invented the electric room thermostat in the late 1800s.

Gertrude E. Jennings

Gertrude Eleanor Jennings (1877–1958) was a British theatrical author of the early twentieth century notable for her one-act social comedies. Life A daughter of British born Louis John Jennings, one-time editor of the New York Times (1870–1875) and subsequently MP for Stockport, and of American actress Madeleine Henriques. She lived most of her adult life in The Boltons, SW10, in the Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. She died aged 81 on 28 September 1958 at The Knoll House, in Fittleworth, Midhurst, Sussex. Career Jennings began her career as an actress touring for Ben Greet’s company in South Africa and America, also working under the name of Gertrude Henriques. Her plays were published by Samuel French Ltd in London under the names of Gertrude E. Jennings, Gertrude Jennings, or G. E. Jennings. Jennings was a prolific playwright writing 42 plays between 1910 and 1930; most of these were one-act plays. In 1914, her publisher Samuel French Ltd issued a collection of four of her early plays under the title Four One Act Plays which included "The Rest Cure," "Between the Soup and the Savoury," "The Pros and Cons," and "Acid Drops." The quality of her one act plays of this period are rather fine. In his introduction to Five Birds In a Cage (1915) in the Fourth series of One Act Plays of Today, the editor J. W. Marriott wrote: “Miss Gertrude Jennings is a prolific writer of one act plays, and is immensely popular for a multitude of reasons. No humorist is more fully aware than she that people begin to be comic when they get into an awkward predicament, and as the situation becomes more and more hopeless the fun grows more furious. Her characters are clearly defined, and usually broadly contrasted in temperament as well as in social position. The scenes are invariably plausible incidents in present day life, and Miss Jennings intensifies effects and adds a touch of farce. Her play “Between the Soup and the Savoury” which was included in the third series of ‘’One Act Plays of Today’’, has pathos as well as laughter. “The Young Person In Pink” is the best known of her longer plays.” Five Birds In A Cage was broadcast on the radio in the first year of the British Broadcasting Corporation on 29 November 1923, with subsequent productions on 15 April 1924 and 23 July 1926. While Jennings primarily wrote one act plays her first full length comedy was The Young Person in Pink performed at a charity event in 1920. Other full length comedies included Love Among the Paint Pots, Money Doesn't Matter, Isabel, Edward and Anne, These Pretty Things, Family Affairs and Our Own Lives. Jennings included issues of women's suffrage and equality in some of her plays, notably in A Woman’s Influence. Selected works Between the Soup and the Savoury - a play in one act (1910). A touching comedy about kitchen servants, first produced at the Playhouse, 1910. Our Nervous System - a play in one act (1911), subsequently retitled The Pros and Cons. A comedy of marriage troubles, first produced at the Playhouse, London, 1911. A Woman’s Influence - a play in one act (1912) The Rest Cure - a play in one act (1914).

North Island

The North Island, also officially named Te Ika-a-Māui, is one of the two main islands of New Zealand, separated from the larger but much less populous South Island by Cook Strait. The island's area is , making it the world's 14th-largest island. It has a population of Twelve main urban areas (half of them officially cities) are in the North Island. From north to south, they are Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Gisborne, New Plymouth, Napier, Hastings, Whanganui, Palmerston North, and Wellington, the capital, located at the south-west extremity of the island. About % of New Zealand's population lives in the North Island. Naming and usage Although the island has been known as the North Island for many years, in 2009 the New Zealand Geographic Board found that, along with the South Island, the North Island had no official name. After a public consultation, the board officially named the island North Island or Te Ika-a-Maui in October 2013. In prose, the two main islands of New Zealand are called the North Island and the South Island, with the definite article. It is also normal to use the preposition in rather than on, for example "Hamilton is in the North Island", "my mother lives in the North Island". Maps, headings, tables, and adjectival expressions use North Island without "the". Māori mythology According to Māori mythology, the North and South Islands of New Zealand arose through the actions of the demigod Māui. Māui and his brothers were fishing from their canoe (the South Island) when he caught a great fish and pulled it from the sea. While he was not looking his brothers fought over the fish and chopped it up. This great fish became the North Island and thus a Māori name for the North Island is Te Ika-a-Māui ("The Fish of Māui"). The mountains and valleys are believed to have been formed as a result of Māui's brothers' hacking at the fish. Until the early 20th Century, an alternative Māori name for the North Island was Aotearoa. In present usage, Aotearoa is a collective Māori name for New Zealand as a whole. Economy The sub-national GDP of the North Island was estimated at US$102.863 billion in 2003, 79% of New Zealand's national GDP. Ecology The North Island is divided into two ecoregions within the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome, the northern part being the Northland temperate kauri forest, and the southern part being the North Island temperate forests. The island has an extensive flora and bird population, with numerous National Parks and other protected areas. Regions Nine local government regions cover the North Island and all its adjacent islands and territorial waters. Northland Auckland Waikato Bay of Plenty Gisborne Taranaki Manawatu-Wanganui Hawkes Bay Wellington Cities and towns The North Island has a larger population than the South Island, with the country's largest city, Auckland, and the capital, Wellington, accounting for nearly half of it. There are 28 urban areas in the North Island with a population of 10,000 or more: Demographics Culture and identity Healthcare Healthcare in the North Island is provided by fifteen District Health Boards (DHBs). Organised around geographical areas of varying population sizes, they are not coterminous with the Local Government Regions.

PlayPenn

PlayPenn is a new play development conference located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Paul Meshejian is the artistic director of the organization, which works with playwrights to develop new plays in a collaborative workshop environment. Since PlayPenn's first conference in 2005, the organization has been hosting annual July conferences in Philadelphia, where invited playwrights work with actors, directors, dramaturgs and designers to rehearse, revise and develop their new scripts in workshops. The conference includes free public readings of the plays, as well as forums and symposia. PlayPenn has helped develop over 140 new plays, 60% of which have become over 350 full productions at theater companies in the United States and abroad. Playwrights who have workshopped scripts at PlayPenn include Jeffrey Hatcher, Deb Margolin, Aaron Posner, Michael Hollinger, Samuel D. Hunter, J.T. Rogers, and Lauren Yee. In 2017, PlayPenn saw the first of its plays to go to Broadway, J.T. Rogers' Oslo, which won the Tony Award for Best Play. PlayPenn supports playwrights through The Foundry, its three-year membership program to support emerging playwrights in Philadelphia with professional development, networking opportunities, and exposure. PlayPenn also offers classes and workshops during other months throughout the year, as well as consultations and support for playwrights from dramaturgs and editors. History Paul Meshejian, an actor and director, created PlayPenn in 2005 after working at the Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis. Michele Volansky has been his artistic partner since the beginning as associate artist and dramaturg. Meshejian said he wanted to create an encouraging space for writers, he told Jessica Foley of American Theatre (magazine) in 2015. "We'll feed you, provide lodging, so you ... can just write your play." While PlayPenn's main goal is to nurture new plays, not necessarily to lead them to productions, PlayPenn scripts have become full productions at many Philadelphia theaters, as well as at other theaters around the country. In 2014, PlayPenn began entering into partnerships with theater companies to help guide plays through the last phases of development before a formal production. The organization began by pairing with the Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey to shepherd the play The House That Jack Built by Suzanne Bradbeer. In 2018, PlayPenn artistic director Paul Meshejian was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre. In 2019, supported by a meaningful gift from Leonard Haas and the Wyncote Foundation, PlayPenn established the Haas Fellows Program, honoring each of its six Conference playwrights with the title "Haas Fellow" into the unforeseeable future. Conferences For the 2018 PlayPenn conference, over 800 playwrights applied and six were chosen for workshops and free public readings. The conference also includes readings of up to three additional theatrical works in progress, along with forums where participants discuss issues related to new-play development.

June Brae

June Brae (17 May 1917 - 3 January 2000) was a British ballet dancer, who created leading roles for Frederick Ashton, Ninette de Valois and other choreographers. She was born June Bear on 17 May 1917 and brought up in Shanghai, where she studied alongside Margot Fonteyn under the Russian George Gontcharov. She returned to London to study under Nicholas Legat, staying with her mother at the Women's Residence Club in Barkston Gardens, Earls' Court. In 1933 she joined the school of the Vic-Wells Ballet and in 1935 progressed to the Company, directed by Ninette de Valois. Soon after, she changed her name from Bear to Brae after de Valois declared "I can't have performing bears in the Company." Brae was soon taking leading roles, including the Rich Girl in Nocturne (1936), a skater in Les Patineurs (1937), Josephine in Wedding Bouquet (1937), the Black Queen in Checkmate (1937) and La Superbe in Harlequin in the Street (1938). She was the Lilac Fairy in the 1939 revival of The Sleeping Princess and Venus in Cupid and Psyche in the same year. After the start of the Second World War, she toured England extensively with the Sadler's Wells Ballet, and was with the company when it was caught in the Netherlands during the German invasion on 10 May 1940, escaping back to England in the hold of a freighter. With Fonteyn and Pamela May, June was one of trio of exceptional performers and close friends who gained the nickname 'The Triptych'. She met David Bredon, whom she was to marry in 1942, at a party in Cambridge in 1938, at which Fonteyn and May also met their future husbands. After her marriage, she retired from dancing and had two children. In 1946 she returned to the stage, creating the role of The Choreographer in Robert Helpmann's Adam Zero. She then transferred to the Sadler's Wells Theatre Ballet (now Birmingham Royal Ballet), set up when the main Company moved to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, including the principal role in Andrée Howard's Assembly Ball. She retired soon after. She died on 3 January 2000.

List of American Civil War legions

This is a list of American Civil War legions, legions being defined as combined arms units of infantry, cavalry and artillery. The popularity of this type of unit had declined by the time of the American Civil War owing to the difficulty of organizing and maintaining its disparate elements; nevertheless, the Confederate Congress authorized the raising of at least ten legions. Units called legions for other reasons are also included. Confederate legions Cherokee Legion, a short-lived unit of the Georgia State Guard organized in 1863. It consisted of one battalion of infantry and one battalion of cavalry. Cobb's Legion or Georgia Legion, raised in the summer of 1861 by Colonel Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb Floyd Legion, a short-lived unit of the Georgia State Guard organized in 1863.

Hampton's Legion, raised in the summer of 1861 by Wade Hampton III Hilliard's Legion, organized in Montgomery, Alabama in June 1862, under the command of Colonel Henry Washington Hilliard. It was composed of five battalions: three infantry, one cavalry, and one artillery. It suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Chickamauga. Hindman's Legion, a unit raised and commanded by Thomas C. Hindman. Unapproved and quickly broken up; it consisted of the 2nd Arkansas Infantry Regiment, the 1st Arkansas Infantry Battalion, the 6th Arkansas Cavalry Battalion and Swett's Battery of Mississippi Light Artillery. Holcombe Legion, briefly known as Steven's Legion, a South Carolina unit raised in 1861 with an infantry battalion serving in the Army of Northern Virginia and a split cavalry battalion mostly serving at Richmond.

By the beginning of 1861 this consisted of the Orleans Battalion of Artillery, containing French and Spanish citizens; the Regiment of Light Infantry, composed of Germans; and the newly formed battalion of Chasseurs à Pied de la Louisiane." Miles' Legion, organized May 16 or 17, 1862 at Camp Moore, Louisiana, with an infantry and a cavalry battalion under the command of Colonel William R. Miles Phillips' Legion, organized circa June 1861 in Georgia, with one infantry and one cavalry battalion. The battalions were assigned to different units in 1862 and thereafter served apart. Smith's Legion, a Georgia unit existing in 1862 and 1863. The infantry battalion later joined the 65th Georgia Infantry and the cavalry battalion became part of the 6th Georgia Cavalry. Thomas' Legion, also known as Thomas' Legion of Cherokee Indians and Highlanders, and the 69th North Carolina. It was raised on September 27, 1862 by William Holland Thomas and incorporated a large number of Cherokee Indians. It fought in the last skirmish in North Carolina before surrendering on May 9, 1865. Waul's Legion, raised in spring 1862 by Brigadier General Thomas Neville Waul in Texas Wise Legion, a brigade-sized command organized by Brig. Gen. Henry A. Wise in 1861. Initially three regiments, later designated as 46th Virginia Infantry, 59th Virginia Infantry and 60th Virginia Infantry, formed the infantry component to which others were added. The cavalry regiment became the 10th Virginia Cavalry while the legion also had at least one battery (Hale's) of artillery. Wright's Legion, commanded by Col. Augustus R. Wright. Becoming the 38th Georgia Infantry; it consisted of eleven infantry companies, one of cavalry and one of artillery. Later the cavalry company was converted into infantry and the artillery battery was transferred. Union legions 10th Legion, or 56th New York Infantry. Organized in October 1861 with eleven infantry companies, it acquired two light artillery batteries and two troops of cavalry. Purnell Legion. Organized October to December 1861 from Baltimore and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Consisting originally of nine infantry companies, two cavalry companies, and two light artillery batteries. It was broken up in early 1862, and elements served independently through the remainder of the war. Legions in name only Confederate 1st and 2nd Foreign Legion, applied to Tucker's Confederate Regiment and the 8th Confederate Infantry Battalion. Both units were recruited from prisoners of war. Jeff Davis Cavalry Legion Kemper Legion, the 13th Mississippi Infantry Pee Dee Legion, the 9th South Carolina Infantry Battalion Rucker's Legion, also known as 1st East Tennessee Legion.

A number of veterans of the Mexican–American War formed the "Scott Legion" afterward, named in honor of Winfield Scott. When the regiment was raised around April 1861, 31 of its 37 officers were members of the organization, so the unit acquired the (unofficial) name.

Charles Campbell, 9th Earl of Breadalbane and Holland

Lieutenant-Colonel Charles William Campbell, 9th Earl of Breadalbane and Holland (11 June 1889 – 5 May 1959), known as Charles Campbell until 1923, was a Scottish peer and soldier. Campbell was the son of Major-General Charles William Campbell by Gwynedd, daughter of William Edward Brinckman and granddaughter of Sir Theodore Brinckman, 1st Baronet. He was a Major in the Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery and a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and fought in the First World War, where he was awarded the Military Cross. In May 1923, aged 34, he succeeded in the earldom of Breadalbane and Holland on the early death of his third cousin once removed, the eighth Earl. This was a Scottish peerage and did not entitle him to an automatic seat in the House of Lords. However, in 1924 he was elected as one of the sixteen Scottish Representative Peers to sit in the House of Lords. With the titles he inherited family estates and Taymouth Castle, but sold the castle, which was expensive to maintain. Lord Breadalbane later became a Deputy Lieutenant for Perthshire and a Justice of the Peace for Argyll and Perthshire and a member of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and of the Royal Company of Archers. Lord Breadalbane and Holland married Armorer Romer, daughter of Romer Williams, DL, JP, of Newnham Hall, Daventry, Northamptonshire, and widow of Eric Nicholson, in 1918. He died in May 1959, aged 69, and was succeeded in the earldom by his son, John. The Countess of Breadalbane and Holland died in 1987.

Al Harris (cornerback)

Alshinard Harris (born December 7, 1974) is a former NFL cornerback and current coach. Harris played for fourteen seasons in the National Football League (NFL) from 1998 to 2011. He is currently an assistant secondary coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Harris played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, and St. Louis Rams. He was selected for the Pro Bowl after his 2006 and 2007 seasons in Green Bay. The AP also named him a second-team All-Pro in 2007. Harris was known throughout the league for his physical, bump and run coverage style and was also known for his long, stringy dreadlocks, influencing others in the NFL. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 1997 NFL Draft. He played college football at Texas A&M-Kingsville. College career Harris spent two seasons (1993–94) at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas where he was a member of the 1994 national championship team. He then transferred to Texas A&M University-Kingsville where he was a two-year starter and letterman (1995–96). Harris was a first-team All-Lone Star Conference pick in 1996. Professional career Tampa Bay Buccaneers Harris was drafted in the sixth round of the 1997 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He spent the entire season on their practice squad. He spent the 1998 preseason with the Buccaneers, but was released on August 30. Philadelphia Eagles Harris was claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Eagles on August 31, 1998. He made his NFL debut a week later against the Seattle Seahawks as the starting right cornerback in place of injured Bobby Taylor. He started seven games and played in all 16 during the 1998 season. On November 6, 2000, Harris signed a five-year contract extension with the Eagles. Green Bay Packers Following the 2002 season, Green Bay acquired Harris and a fourth round choice in that year's draft in exchange for the Packers' second round selection. Harris went on to start all 32 regular season games over the next two seasons for Green Bay. In a 2003 NFC wildcard playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks Harris returned an interception 52 yards for the game-winning touchdown 4:25 in overtime, making it the first playoff game ever to be won in overtime with a defensive touchdown. The game was memorable for Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's ironic comment after winning the coin toss for the start of overtime, telling the microphoned referee, and thus the crowd at Lambeau Field and the national television audience, "We want the ball, and we're going to score." In a 2004 NFC wildcard playoff game, Harris was the cornerback in primary coverage of Vikings' star wide receiver Randy Moss, who, upon catching his second touchdown of the game while being covered by Harris, famously "mooned" the crowd at Lambeau Field, an act for which Moss was fined $10,000. In 2005, Harris only allowed one touchdown in coverage, and Harris finished the season with three sacks, ten pass deflections, and three interceptions (one for touchdown in a 52-3 win over the New Orleans Saints). In 2006, Harris finished the season with three interceptions and 14 pass deflections. On February 13, 2007 it was announced that Harris signed a two-year contract extension with the Packers. The deal was an add-on to the five-year, $18.7 million extension that Harris signed in 2004, a contract that included about $7 million in guarantees. That extension still had three seasons remaining on it, through 2009. Financial details of the new extension were not yet available, but Harris told the Wisconsin State Journal that it included two roster bonuses totaling $4.5 million, along with some Pro Bowl incentives. Harris played in the 2008 Pro Bowl, along with teammates Brett Favre, Chad Clifton, Donald Driver, and Aaron Kampman, as well as head coach Mike McCarthy. Harris was originally thought to be out for the remainder of the 2008 season because of a ruptured spleen suffered during the first quarter of the game against Dallas, when he collided with fellow Green Bay Packer A.J. Hawk. However, Harris came back to the Packers in their game against the Tennessee Titans on November 2, 2008. On November 22, 2009 Al Harris suffered a potentially career-ending injury to the outside of his left knee in a home game against the San Francisco 49ers. Harris fell to the ground while trailing Niners wide receiver Michael Crabtree; no contact caused the injury, Harris reported his foot simply 'got caught in the ground'. Harris tore the anterior cruciate ligament, the lateral collateral ligament, the iliotibial band, the fibular collateral ligament, and the lateral hamstring. His knee was surgically reconstructed eight days later resulting in Harris spending the remainder of the season rehabilitating his knee. Harris started the 2010 season on the ' Physically Unable to Perform (PUP)' list, then returned to practice on October 19. On November 8, 2010 Al Harris was taken off the list and waived by the Green Bay Packers. He passed through waivers unclaimed, making him a free agent. Green Bay paid Harris the pro-rated portion of his $2.5 million salary, as the team was not obligated to pay the rest even though he passed through waivers. On Sunday, November 21, 2010, Harris took out a large advertisement in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, thanking Packer fans for 'always supporting (him)'. The Packers won the Super Bowl that year, and Harris received a championship ring. Miami Dolphins Harris signed a 1-year deal with the Miami Dolphins on November 10, 2010. He played three games before suffering a hamstring injury and was placed on injured reserve. On December 30, 2010, the Dolphins reached an injury settlement with Harris and he was released. St. Louis Rams On July 29, 2011, Harris agreed to terms with the St. Louis Rams. On November 13, 2011, Harris suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during a regular season game against the Cleveland Browns and did not return to the game. The following day, November 14, 2011, Harris was placed on injured reserve. Retirement On May 1, 2013 Ted Thompson, Packers Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, stated that Al Harris had informed the team of his decision to retire as a Green Bay Packer. When asked to comment Harris said, "Just over my career I had an awesome time, but the better part of my years were in Green Bay, (so) it was just important to me to retire as a Packer," nearly 3½ years since he played his final snap for the Packers. "I had a great experience in Philadelphia, great experience in Tampa and everywhere else I played, but Green Bay is a special place to play football." Coaching career Miami Dolphins During the 2012 season, Harris served as a coaching intern under coach Joe Philbin for the Miami Dolphins. Kansas City Chiefs Harris was hired as the assistant defensive backs coach under his former head coach from his playing day with the Eagles; Andy Ried, for the Kansas City Chiefs on January 25, 2013. Following a disappointing performance by the Chiefs defense in the AFC Championship for the 2018 season, Harris, as well as the entire defensive coaching staff, was replaced. Dallas Cowboys In 2020 Harris was hired to work with the secondary of the Dallas Cowboys under his former head coach form his playing days with the Packers; Mike McCarthy.
