The area today known as Slovakia has been inhabited throughout the prehistoric period.
Palaeolithic
Radiocarbon dating puts the oldest surviving archaeological artifacts from Slovakia—found near Nové Mesto nad Váhom—at 270,000 BCE, in the Early Paleolithic era. These ancient tools, made by the Clactonian technique, bear witness to the ancient habitation of Slovakia.
Other stone tools from the Middle Paleolithic era (200,000–80,000 BCE) come from the Prepost cave (Prepoštská jaskyňa) near Bojnice and from other nearby sites. The most important discovery from that era is a Neanderthal cranium (c. 200,000 BCE), discovered near Gánovce, a village in northern Slovakia.
Archaeologists have found prehistoric Homo sapiens skeletons in the region, as well as numerous objects and vestiges of the Gravettian culture, principally in the river valleys of Nitra, Hron, Ipeľ, Váh and as far as the city of Žilina, and near the foot of the Vihorlat, Inovec, and Tribeč mountains, as well as in the Myjava Mountains. The most well-known finds include the oldest female statue made of mammoth-bone (22,800 BCE), the famous Venus of Moravany. The figurine was found in the 1940s in Moravany nad Váhom near Piešťany. Numerous necklaces made of shells from Cypraca thermophile gastropods of the Tertiary period have come from the sites of Moravany-Žákovská, Podkovice, Hubina and Radošina. These findings provide the most ancient evidence of commercial exchanges carried out between the Mediterranean and Central Europe.
Neolithic
Discovery of tools and pottery in several archaeological digs and burial places scattered across Slovakia, surprisingly including northern regions at relatively high altitudes, gives evidence of human habitation in the Neolithic period. The pottery found in Želiezovce, Gemer, and the Bukové hory massif is characterized by remarkable modeling and delicate linear decoration. It also reveals the first attempts at coloring. This deliberate adornment shows a developed aesthetic sense of the Neolithic craftsmen.
Important archaeological discoveries have been made in several formerly-inhabited caves. For example, humans inhabited the famous Domica cave, almost 6000 meters long, to a depth of 700 meters. This cave offers one of the biggest Neolithic deposits in Europe. The tribes who created the pottery from the Massif Bukové hory inhabited Domica continuously for more than 800 years.
The transition to the Neolithic era in Central Europe featured the development of agriculture and the clearing of pastures, the first smelting of metals at the local level, the "Retz" style pottery and also fluted pottery. During the "fluted-pottery" era, people built several fortified sites. Some vestiges of these remain today, especially in high-altitude areas. Pits surround the most well-known of these sites at Nitriansky Hrádok. Starting in the Neolithic era, the geographic location of present-day Slovakia hosted a dense trade-network for goods such as shells, amber, jewels and weapons. As a result, it became an important hub in the system of European trade routes.
Bronze Age
The Bronze Age on the territory of Slovakia went through three stages of development, stretching from 2000 to 800 BCE. Major cultural, economic, and political development can be attributed to the significant growth in production of copper, especially in central Slovakia (for example in Špania Dolina) and north-west Slovakia. Copper became a stable source of prosperity for the local population. In the Early Bronze Age the Unetice culture established important centres in western Slovakia such as the large fortified settlement of Fidvár, which was involved in the mining of nearby gold and tin deposits. Eastern Slovakia was dominated by the contemporary Ottomány culture. These cultures were succeeded by the Middle Bronze Age Mad'arovce and Tumulus cultures, followed by the Late Bronze Age Čaka, Velatice and Piliny cultures, which were part of the broader Urnfield culture. Following their disappearance, the Lusatian culture expanded, building strong and complex fortifications with large permanent buildings and administrative centres. Excavations of Lusatian hill forts document the substantial development of trade and agriculture in that period.
Iron Age
In the Early Iron Age the richness and the diversity of tombs increased considerably with the development of the Hallstatt culture. The inhabitants of the area manufactured arms, shields, jewelry, dishes, and statues. The arrival of tribes from Thrace disrupted the people of the Calenderberg culture, who lived in the hamlets located on the plain (Sereď), and also in the hill forts located on the summits (Smolenice, Molpí). The local power of the Hallstatt "Princes" disappeared in Slovakia during the last period of the Iron Age after strife between the Scytho-Thracian people and Celtic tribes who advanced from the south towards the north, following the Slovak rivers.
The victory of the Celts marked the beginning of the late Iron Age in the region. Two major Celtic tribes living in Slovakia were Cotini and Boii. Cotini were probably identical or made significant part of so-called Púchov culture. The Celts built large oppida in Bratislava and Liptov (the Havránok shrine). Silver coins with the names of Celtic kings, the so-called Biatecs, represent the first known use of writing in Slovakia. Celtic dominance disappeared with the Germanic incursions, the victory of Dacia over the Boii near the Neusiedler See, and the expansion of the Roman Empire.
Roman era
The Roman epoch began in Slovakia in 6 CE, inaugurated by the arrival of Roman legions on this territory that led to a war against the Marcomanni and Quadi tribes. The Kingdom of Vannius, a barbarian kingdom founded by the Quadi, existed in western and central Slovakia from 20 to 50 AD. The Romans and their armies occupied only a thin strip of the right bank of the Danube and a very small part of south-western Slovakia (Celemantia, Gerulata, Devín Castle).
Only in 174 CE did the emperor Marcus Aurelius penetrate deeper into the river valleys of Váh, Nitra and Hron. On the banks of the Hron he wrote his philosophical work Meditations. In 179 CE, a Roman legion engraved on the rock of the Trenčín Castle the ancient name of Trenčín (Laugaritio), marking the furthest northern point of their presence in this part of Europe.
The great invasions of the 4–8th centuries
In the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE the Huns began to leave the Central Asian steppes. They crossed the Danube in 377 CE and occupied Pannonia, which they used for 75 years as their base for launching looting-raids into Western Europe. In 451, under the command of Attila, they crossed the Rhine and laid Gaul to waste; then crossed even the Pyrenees, devastating the countryside of Catalonia. However, Attila's death in 453 brought about the collapse of the Hunnic Empire (and eventual disappearance of the Huns as a people).
After the Huns in the 5–6th century German tribes such as the Ostrogoths, Lombards, Gepids and Heruli, began to settle in the Pannonian Basin. Their reign and rivalry determined the events during the first two-thirds of the 6th century. In the 6th century, an early Lombard state was centered in the territory of present-day Slovakia. Subsequently, the Lombards left from this area and moved first to Pannonia and then to Italy, where their statehood was continued until the 11th century.
In 568 a nomadic tribe, the Avars, conducted their own invasion into the Middle Danube region. The Avars occupied the lowlands of the Pannonian Plain, established an empire dominating the Pannonian Basin and they made several raids against the Byzantine Empire whose emperors sent gifts regularly to them in order to avoid their attacks. In 623, the Slavic population living in the western parts of Pannonia seceded from their empire. In 626, the Avars and the Persians jointly besieged but failed to capture Constantinople; following this failure, the Avars' prestige and power declined and they lost the control over their former territories outside the Pannonian Basin but their reign has lasted to 804.

Prairie City is a ghost town in southeast Douglas County, Kansas, United States, near present-day Baldwin City.
History
Prairie City was founded in 1855 by James Lane, Dr. William Graham, Louis (Lewis) F. Green and Salmon S. Prouty after a dispute between Graham and Henry Barricklow of nearby Palmyra. A post office opened in 1856 with John R. Winton serving as postmaster. The Heber Institute was started by the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1856 but never opened. The building became Prairie City School District No. 1.
The first printing press in Kansas was used in Prairie City by Prouty to publish The Freeman's Champion which ran for 40 weeks. Prouty bought the press in 1857 from the Ottawa Baptist Mission in Franklin County. Prouty would leave Prairie City in 1868 and move to Topeka where he would found the Topeka Journal which would later merge to become the Topeka Capital-Journal
Prairie City was incorporated on February 4, 1859 and at one time had three general stores and three hotels. Prairie City was the rendezvous point for John Brown and his men the night before initiating the Battle of Black Jack. When the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Fort Gibson laid tracks through the area, there was a depot at Baldwin and two miles southwest at Prairie City. Thinking that was impractical, a new depot was built between the two towns and named "Media". The Prairie City post office, opened in 1856, was moved to Media in 1878, and was finally closed in 1903. The Media library was used as a tool shed in the Prairie City Cemetery for years until being torn down in 2012.
On March 24, 1883, Douglas County commissioners had certain streets and alleys vacated. Today, little remains to mark the city except a few houses, a cemetery and the ruins of an old Catholic church. The Midland Railway from Baldwin passes by a sign pointing out where the depot, newspaper, post office and store used to be.

Brian V. Bourns (born 1951) is a former Canadian politician. He was an Ottawa City Councillor from 1975 to 1985, serving on the city's Board of Control from 1978 to 1980 before it was abolished.
Early life
Bourns was born in Deep River, Ontario, where he attended Mackenzie High School. He went to university in Waterloo, Ontario, where he dropped out of a math program after receiving a scholarship. Afterward, he worked in Labrador City for the Iron Ore Company. He moved to Ottawa in 1971. Before entering politics, Bourns was a journalist working as the co-editor for the city's "counter-culture" newspaper, A Usually Reliable Source and as a writer/salesman for The Centre Town News. Bourns first ran for office in the 1972 municipal election for a spot on the city's Board of Control. He ran on a platform of replacing the property tax system with an income tax, changes in zoning by-laws, and the closing of establishments which profit from the exploitation of sex, the cancellation of the Central Canada Exhibition's lease at Lansdowne Park and a fully subsidized rapid transit system. Bourns ended up finishing in last place in his bid, with just under 4,000 votes. After losing, Bourns worked on the Centretown development plan, becoming the head of the Centretown citizens' planning committee. The goals of the committee included increasing residential building in the neighbourhood, and to make it "a better place to live".
First term
Bourns ran again in the 1974 municipal election for Wellington Ward alderman, a seat which was opened up by Joe Cassey who was running for a seat on the Board of Control. He ran on a reform platform, advocating for the creation of non-profit housing, adequate day-care, recreation facilities and more greenspace in Downtown Ottawa. At just 23 years old, Bourns won the seat in a surprise victory, winning the seat with 45% of the vote, defeating Matthew McGrath, who finished in second place with 32% of the vote.
After being elected, Bourns ran for a spot on the city's executive committee, but lost by two votes in what was seen as a "setback for an informal alliance of reform (members of council)". In 1976, he resigned from five organizations (including the Centretown Citizens' Corp.) he was a member of to avoid being caught in a conflict of interest. Bourns ran for re-election in the 1976 municipal election on a platform of "[s]tabilizing the ward socially and economically." He called for a freeze on the development of new office complexes until the federal government can agree on the direction in growth in the ward. He was opposed by law and order candidate John Rankin and perennial candidate Sam McLean, a businessman who criticized Bourns' "left-wing leanings", calling him a "goddamn commie". Bourns easily defeated his conservative challengers, winning 70% of the vote in an election which saw city council shift to the left.
Second term
After his re-election, Bourns was elected to the city's planning committee. He was also appointed to the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton's planning and transportation committees. On January 21, 1978, Bourns married city hall staffer Donna Holtom in Dunrobin. When he was first elected to council, Bourns was seen as a thorn in the side of developers and the city's downtown business committee. However, Bourns worked with businesses to help revitalize Bank Street, the city's main downtown thoroughfare. In 1978, Bourns ran for a spot on the city's Board of Control in that year's municipal election. Bourns ran a more conservative campaign compared to the "radical" campaigns of his past. He ran on a campaign promoting "fiscal responsibility", with a desire to keep tax-rate increases below the rate of inflation, and skepticism toward expensive capital ventures, which he believed were being promoted by city council's right wing. Bourns was elected to the Board of control, finishing in second place with over 35,000 votes. After the election, Bourns' wife was appointed as the executive assistant to mayor Marion Dewar, which some aldermen complained was a conflict of interest. Bourns, whose spot on council also made him a regional councillor supported Rideau Township's Bill Tupper for Regional Chair of Ottawa-Carleton, whose bid lost to Andrew S. Haydon.
Controller
During his first term on the Board of Control, while he continued to develop contacts in the business community, Bourns continued to fight for the same principles as earlier in his career, such as for social services and better public transit, and kept a keen interest in his former ward, supporting revitalizing the downtown core. City council voted to abolish the board of control in 1979 (whose abolition Bourns supported), so Bourns ran for a spot on city council instead, opting to run in the new suburban Billings Ward. Bourns lived in Dalhousie Ward at the time, but did not want to run against incumbent Rolf Hasenack, who he believed was doing a good job. Bourns won the seat with 41% of the vote, defeating conservative motel owner Bill Zlepnig who won 34% and Ottawa Board of Education trustee Geraldine Trudel who won 25%. After his election, Bourns was elected chairman of the city's planning board.
Final term
In 1981, Bourns was named "man of the year" by the Ottawa JayCees for his work with the Special Olympics. During his first term as the alderman for Billings, he worked with South Keys residents to persuade developers to reduce the number of townhouses proposed in the neighbourhood. He also helped improve Pushman Park, recreation facilities and opened a day care centre in the ward. These measures he claimed reduced vandalism in the ward. He also advocated for the widening of Walkley Road and Heron Road. He continued to advocate for downtown revitalization through his work with the Commercial and Industrial Development Corporation. Bourns was once again opposed by Zlepnig, who this time received the endorsement of Geraldine Trudel, who finished third in 1980. The endorsement did not help Zlepnig however, as Bourns went on to defeat Zlepnig with 55% of the vote to Zlepnig's 45%. After his re-election, Bourns ran for re-election as chair of the planning board, but there was an 8-8 tie in the council vote with Graham Bird. A compromise gave Bird the job for the first half of the council's 1982-1985 term, and Bourns the second half. In 1983, he lost his bid for re-election as the region's transportation committee chairman.
Bourns was rumoured as a possible NDP candidate in the 1985 Ontario general election, but decided against it. He was also considered likely to run for mayor in the 1985 municipal election, but decided against it, citing a desire to spend time with his family, his side-career as a business consultant and getting a master's degree in business administration from the University of Ottawa. In August 1985, he announced he would not be running for re-election as alderman either and endorsed fellow progressive alderman Marlene Catterall in the mayoral race. During his time on council, he was "instrumental" in getting Ottawa's non-profit housing corporation "City Living" started, and played a "major role" in developing Ottawa's Transitway rapid bus network as chair of the region's transportation committee. Bourns was succeeded on council by his executive assistant Joan O'Neill who defeated Zlepnig who ran for the seat once again.
Post political life
On November 21, 1985 Bourns and his wife opened up the "Sussex Club", a women-only health spa located at 45 Rideau Street. In 1987, he was again rumoured to run for the NDP in Ottawa South for the Ontario general election, 1987, but opted against it. After politics, he continued his consulting work with a firm that dealt with native issues. He received his MBA and became a financial analyst for Peat Marwick Thorne, helping companies in financial trouble. At this time, he was urged to run for Regional Chair in the 1991 municipal elections (the first direct election for the job), but ultimately did not do so. In 1993, while working as an accountant for KPMG, he was appointed by the provincial government to study the possible amalgamation of the region's five school boards. His report ultimately rejected board amalgamation (though the regions's two school boards would eventually be amalgamated in 1998).
Today, Bourns is the founder of Maclaren Municipal Consulting. The Brian Bourns Place apartments in Centretown are named in his honour.

The Nordfriedhof ("Northern Cemetery"), with 34,000 burial plots, is one of the largest cemeteries in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is situated in the suburb of Schwabing-Freimann. It was established by the former community of Schwabing in 1884. It is not to be confused with the Alter Nordfriedhof in Munich, which was set up only a short time previously within the then territory of the city of Munich.
A station on the Munich U-Bahn is also called Nordfriedhof after the cemetery, and the surrounding area is also known locally as "Nordfriedhof" from the station.
The imposing cemetery buildings include a chapel, a mortuary and a burial wall, which was designed between 1896 and 1899 by the municipal architect Hans Grässel. In 1962 a columbarium was added to the north by the architect Eugen Jacoby.
The chapel is described, slightly altered, in Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice, when the sight of it precipitates a foreboding of death in the protagonist.

Dingmans Ferry is an unincorporated community in Delaware Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania, United States. As of 2014, it had a population of 7,477 people. It was originally sited on the Delaware River, in an area now included in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. When the Corps of Engineers acquired the land by eminent domain in the mid-twentieth century for the creation of the proposed Tocks Island Dam project, it relocated the community further up the hill.
Local objections to the dam and purchasing of land willingly or by eminent domain had delayed the project for years, but preparations ended for certain when it was learned that the proposed dam site was on a fault line. When the dam project was cancelled, the National Park Service was tasked with managing the property for the Corps so far as public use was concerned. The land purchased by the Corps was converted to the Delaware National Recreation Area.
Nearby attractions include Factory Falls, Fulmer Falls, and Deer Leap Falls in Childs Recreation Area and Silverthread Falls and Dingmans Falls, all on Dingmans Creek. Dingmans Ferry is located at 41°13'North, 74°52'West.
Dingmans Ferry is now the name of the post office (ZIP Code 18328) that serves Delaware and Porter townships. The post office is located within the borders of Delaware Township. Delaware Township is governed by a Board of Supervisors; there is no mayor of Dingmans Ferry. The community is served by area codes 570 and 272.
The Dingmans Ferry Bridge is the last privately owned toll bridge on the Delaware River, and one of the few remaining in the country.
The Dingman's Ferry Dutch Reformed Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was converted to a residence in 1957 but was not altered on the exterior, which had wooden columns modelled after Roman marble ones.
Dingman-Delaware Primary, Elementary and Middle Schools are located in the area.

The electoral district of Bayswater is one of the electoral districts of Victoria, Australia, for the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It covers an area of in outer eastern Melbourne, and includes the suburbs of Bayswater, Heathmont, Kilsyth South and The Basin, and parts of Bayswater North, Boronia, Ringwood and Wantirna. It lies within the Eastern Metropolitan Region of the upper house, the Legislative Council.
Bayswater was created as a notionally marginal Labor seat in a redistribution for the 1992 state election. It replaced the abolished electorate of Ringwood, which had been held by Labor MP and Kirner government Minister for Community Services Kay Setches since 1982. The area had been traditionally Liberal prior to Setches' election; she had been the first Labor member to hold Ringwood. Setches contested Bayswater at the election, but was resoundingly defeated by Liberal candidate and personnel consultant Gordon Ashley in the Liberal landslide victory that year, one of several ministers to lose their seats.
Ashley was easily re-elected at the 1996 election and 1999 election, but was unexpectedly defeated by Labor candidate Peter Lockwood in the Labor landslide victory at the 2002 election. Lockwood only lasted one term before being defeated by Liberal Heidi Victoria in 2006. Victoria served as Minister for the Arts, Minister for Women's Affairs and Minister for Consumer Affairs in the Napthine Ministry from 2013 to 2014. The seat was won back by Labor somewhat unexpectedly in the 2018 Victorian state election, with Jackson Taylor serving as the current Labor MP for the district.

The Beresford is a cooperative apartment building at 211 Central Park West, between 81st and 82nd Streets, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was constructed in 1929 and was designed by architect Emery Roth. The Beresford is 22 stories tall and is topped by octagonal towers on its northeast, southwest, and southeast corners. The building is a contributing property to the Central Park West Historic District, a National Register of Historic Places–listed district, and is a New York City designated landmark.
The building surrounds an internal courtyard to the west. The facade has two primary elevations, facing east toward Central Park and south toward the American Museum of Natural History. There are numerous setbacks on each elevation, which double as terraces. The first three stories are clad in rusticated blocks of limestone, with three main entrances at ground level. The remainder of the facade is made of light brick with terracotta ornamentation. Each of the towers is decorated with arches and finials and contains one penthouse apartment. The building has three terrazzo and marble lobbies with molded plaster ceilings. On the upper stories, many apartments are split across two levels and contain large rooms. There were originally 178 apartments, each with four to sixteen rooms, but several apartments have been split or combined over the years.
The Beresford replaced an 11-story apartment building with the same name, built in 1889 and 1892. The current apartment complex was built after a previous attempt to redevelop the site in the 1920s had failed. The building opened in September 1929 but soon went into receivership following the collapse of the Bank of United States, which held the mortgage. The Beresford was acquired in 1940 by an investment syndicate, which owned the building for the next two decades. The building was then converted to a housing cooperative in 1962. Over the years, its residents have included directors, actors, journalists, and executives.
Site
The Beresford is at 211 Central Park West in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The building occupies the western sidewalk of Central Park West (formerly Eighth Avenue) between 81st Street to the south and 82nd Street to the north. The Beresford is situated on an approximately square land lot with an area of . The land lot has a frontage of along Central Park West and on both of the side streets. The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is immediately across 81st Street to the south. The Diana Ross Playground and the Great Lawn and Turtle Pond are directly to the east, inside Central Park. An entrance to the New York City Subway's 81st Street–Museum of Natural History station is directly outside the southeast corner of the building.
The Beresford is one of several apartment buildings on Central Park West that are primarily identified by an official name. Even though a street address was sufficient to identify these apartment buildings, this trend followed a British practice of giving names to buildings without addresses. By contrast, buildings on Fifth Avenue, along the eastern side of Central Park, are mainly known by their addresses. Christopher Gray of The New York Times described the Beresford as one of several apartment buildings in Manhattan that were named after 1920; according to Gray, such structures usually "were either truly grand or had hotel-like features". The Beresford's name is derived directly from a previous building on the site.
Previous structure
The construction of Central Park in the 1860s spurred construction in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, but similar development in the Upper West Side was slower to come. Major developments on the West Side were erected after the Ninth Avenue elevated line opened in 1879, providing direct access to Lower Manhattan. The first large apartment building in the area was the Dakota, which opened in 1884. The city installed power lines on Central Park West at the end of the 19th century, thus allowing the construction of multi-story apartment hotels with elevators.
Among the early apartment hotels was the original Hotel Beresford at 81st Street and Eighth Avenue. The structure was built by Alva Walker in two phases. Theodore E. Thomson designed the first section in 1889, a six-story building with 34 apartments. The initial structure also had a dining room on the top floor; wide hallways to each suite; and elevators. In 1892, Walker built a ten-story annex and moved the dining room to the top of that building. This addition had 64 apartments.
Architecture
The present Beresford was designed by Emery Roth. It is one of five Roth apartment blocks on Central Park West; the others are the El Dorado, the San Remo, the Alden, and the Ardsley. The Beresford was built by HRH Construction. Unlike other large buildings on Central Park West, which were typically attributed to a single developer, no one took credit for developing the Beresford specifically. The syndicate that developed the Beresford had also erected the San Remo, seven blocks south, shortly after the Beresford was completed.
Form and facade
The building contains 22 stories, which surround an interior courtyard to the west, creating a "U"-shaped plan. There are setbacks at the 14th, 16th, 18th, and 20th stories, which were included to comply with the 1916 Zoning Resolution. These setbacks are enclosed by iron railings and stone balustrades, creating private terraces for each tenant. When the building opened, its leasing agent described the terraces as being multicolored. Above the 20th story are small octagonal towers. The northwest corner was subjected to more stringent zoning laws, so the westernmost section contains setbacks beginning at the 9th story. When the building opened, there was high demand for apartments with large terraces, particularly before air conditioning became popular.
The lowest three stories of the facade are made of rusticated blocks of limestone, while the rest of the building is clad with beige brick. The facade's primary elevations face south toward 81st Street and east toward Central Park West. This design was intended to take advantage of the building's placement next to the AMNH and Central Park. The north elevation on 82nd Street is simpler in design than the primary elevations, while the west elevation is not decorated. The north, south, and east elevations contain terracotta ornamentation such as pilasters, broken pediments, balustrades, obelisks, and cartouches. There are also motifs such as angels, dolphins, and rams' heads. The corners of each elevation are articulated by vertical bands of brick quoins. There are horizontal band courses above the 9th, 12th, and 13th stories; each band course consists of two molded terracotta bands.
All three elevations are divided vertically into multiple bays, each containing one window per floor. Most of the building's windows are of a single design: two movable casements topped by a stationary transom. The south elevation is divided into 30 bays from east to west. They are arranged into groups of three, except for bays 1–4 and 29–30, which are paired. Bays 1–7 and 23–30 are "pavilions", which set back at the 16th story, while the center bays set back at the 14th, 18th, and 20th stories. The east elevation contains 29 bays from south to north, arranged in a 3-3-5-3-3-5-3-4 pattern. Bays 1–6 and 23–29 are "pavilions" with 16th-story setbacks, while the center bays set back at the 14th, 18th, and 20th stories. The north elevation is also divided into 29 bays, which are all arranged into groups of three, except for the westernmost pair of bays.
Entrances
There are four entrances at the base: two on 81st Street and one each on Central Park West and 82nd Street. The main entrances are at 1 and 7 West 81st Street and 211 Central Park West; each leads to its own lobby. The entrance at 1 West 81st Street is within bays 5–7, while the entrance at 7 West 81st Street is within bays 23–25. The sidewalks in front of both doorways are covered by canopies, and there are planted areas on either side of each doorway. Both doorways contain a set of bronze-and-glass double doors, and there are bronze-and-glass lanterns on either side of each set of doors. Each of the doorways is surrounded by a limestone frame with pilasters on either side, which contain panels with reliefs of acanthus leaves. The entrances on 81st Street are topped by curved broken pediments, each with a central cartouche and a keystone. On the second story above each of the 81st Street entrances is a group of three windows. The central window of each group is placed within a frame and contains the head of a winged cherub on its lintel.
The Central Park West entrance is slightly off-center, spanning bays 14–15. It has a canopy, planted areas, bronze-and-glass double doors, and lanterns similar to those on 81st Street. The relief panels at this entrance also depict acanthus leaves, but the tops of these relief panels also contain motifs of winged angels playing horns. Above the Central Park West entrance is a broken lintel, which flanks a cartouche with festoons. On the second story is a window with a winged cherub's head on its lintel.
The 82nd Street entrance is simpler in design compared with the three other entrances, occupying bay 23. This entrance lacks a canopy and contains a bronze-and-glass single door. There are lanterns on either side of the doorway, as well as a cartouche atop the door frame. Above the door frame is a metal grille, which is flanked by garlands and scrolls and is topped by the head of a winged cherub.
There are also nine entrances to individual offices on the ground floor: two on Central Park West, three on 81st Street, and four on 82nd Street. Each doorway contains a single door, recessed within the rusticated limestone facade. The bronze-and-glass office doors are simple in design and are topped by a bronze-and-glass transom panel. On the far western end of the 81st and 82nd Street frontages, there is a short standalone wall of rusticated blocks, which contains a round archway topped by a keystone with a winged cherub's head. There is a metal service gate below each archway. The 81st Street gate contains a panel with the word "Service", and the panel above the gate is decorated with guttae.
Upper stories
At the fourth story on Central Park West, bays 12–17 contain a limestone balcony, which projects from the facade and is supported by eight modillions. Above the fourth story, there are four cartouches on the eastern elevation, four on the southern elevation, and two on the northern elevation. Between the two inner cartouches to the east is a plaque with the inscription "Erected 1929", which is framed by swags and scrolls.
At the 10th and 11th stories, each elevation contains several double-height window groupings, each three bays wide and surrounded by terracotta frames. In each grouping, the 10th-story windows contain false balustrades, while the spandrel panels between the 10th and 11th stories contain a cartouche, winged cherubs, and brackets. In the center bay of each grouping, there is a rosette above the 11th story. At the 14th and 15th stories, there are more double-height window groupings, each three bays wide. Each grouping is flanked by brick pilasters and are topped by a triangular broken pediment surrounding a central grille. There are rosettes on the spandrels between the 14th and 15th stories. The center bay of each grouping contains a projecting balcony at the 14th story; a curved broken pediment with a ram's head above the 14th story; and a cartouche above the 15th story.
In front of the 14th-story setback, there are balustrades on the northern, eastern, and southern elevations. The balustrade of the eastern elevation occupies bays 7–22. There is a cartouche at the center of the eastern balustrade, decorated with half-cherubs, scrolls, and cherub heads. The balustrade on the southern elevation takes up bays 8–22, while that on the northern elevation takes up bays 7–18; there are no cartouches on these balustrades. On the 17th story of the eastern elevation, there is a cartouche between bays 14 and 15, decorated with scrolls and ribbons. It is aligned with both the entrance below and the chimneys above. Above the 17th story, there are chimneys at the centers of the northern, southern, and eastern elevations. Another chimney is located at the western end of the southern elevation.
The outer "pavilions" on the eastern elevation are five bays wide at each of the 16th to 19th stories and three bays wide at the 20th story. At the 19th story of each pavilion, the center window is flanked by pilasters. Directly above are brackets and pilasters, which flank the center window of each pavilion at the 20th story. Above these pilasters is a curved broken pediment, inside which is a rounded dormer opening with a grille. At the 20th story, each corner contains urn-shaped finials just outside the penthouses.
Towers
The Beresford has three octagonal towers above the northeast, southwest, and southeast corners of the 20th story. Each tower has four wider faces, which are parallel to Manhattan's street grid, as well as four narrower faces, which are diagonal to the street grid. There are balustrades, flanked by console brackets, on the wider faces of each tower. There are large arched windows above the balustrades. The arches were originally open-air openings but were infilled with windows in the 1950s. Above each console bracket, engaged columns support a triangular broken pediment with an oval bull's-eye opening at the center. Above the oval openings are winged cherubs' heads. There are also decorations of half-cherubs flanking rams' heads and urns, as well as swags that hang from rosettes.
On the narrower faces of each tower are finials. These are supported by console brackets, which are placed beneath the level of the arched windows on the wider faces. Each narrow face contains a rectangular blind opening. Above each of these openings are triangular broken pediments, followed by panels with winged cherubs' heads. Above the towers are pyramidal roofs with copper and glass lanterns.
Features
Each of the entrances on 81st Street and Central Park West leads to its own lobby; as a result, the Beresford is divided functionally into three sections, and staff must go outdoors to travel between each section. Because each lobby has its own elevators and stairs, there were fewer public hallways on the upper stories. This gave residents a feeling of privacy, since tenants were largely separated both from each other and from servants.
There were eleven elevators in total, including five residential elevators. Each elevator served at most two apartments on each floor. The elevators stopped at a small foyer on each floor, providing access to the two apartments. In some cases, an elevator served only one apartment on a floor, so the elevator doors opened directly into that tenant's foyer. In addition to the residential elevators, each apartment was also accessed by a service elevator and foyer.
Lobbies
Roth intended for the decorations of the lobbies to reflect the building's luxury character, leading one publication to describe the lobbies as "marble halls of your dizziest dreams". The floors of each lobby are composed of gray and beige terrazzo tiles. The terrazzo tiles are surrounded by a multicolored band of mosaic tiles laid in a chevron pattern, as well as a dark marble border. The lobby also contains freestanding brass pedestals with lighting sconces; the pedestals are decorated with cherubs and foliate decorations.
The lower sections of the lobbies' walls contain baseboards of oxblood and green marble; the baseboards are molded at the top. The remainders of the lobbies' walls are beige and contain projecting marble pilasters. The capitals of each pilaster are decorated with varying motifs, including garlands interspersed with classical volutes, as well as cherubs' heads. By the 1980s, the walls had been painted yellow. Though The New York Times described the walls as being clad with plaster, the building's managing agents said the walls were still made of marble and that the yellow color came from a coating. There are "art glass" windows on the walls, overlooking the courtyard. The walls contain doorways leading from the lobbies to various rooms. The lintels of these doorways contain gilded plaster cartouches, which depict the actions of arrival and departure.
The ceilings of each lobby are high and contain flat, vaulted, coffered, and sloped surfaces. The ceilings are plaster bas-reliefs of friezes, foliate decoration, cherubs, and mythological figures. The ceiling originally had a polychrome color scheme, which was painted white in subsequent years. Hanging from the ceilings are crystal-and-brass chandeliers. The elevator doors in the lobbies each contain floral decorations on their borders, as well as a central coat of arms that depicts a bear. The bottom of each coat of arms contains the Latin motto "Fronta Nulla Fides" (place no trust in appearances), and there is a dragon atop each coat of arms.
Apartments
, according to the New York City Department of City Planning, the Beresford has 183 apartments. When the Beresford opened, it had 178 apartments. The specifications of each apartment were modified to accommodate individual tenants, but each story generally had ten apartments. Units ranged from four to sixteen rooms, but most units had eight to ten rooms. Many of the apartments were duplex units that originally spanned multiple stories. These duplexes were as large as many row houses and were arranged similarly to traditional row houses. In the duplexes, "public" rooms such as the living room and kitchen were on the lower level, while "private" rooms were on the upper level. When the building was sold in 1959, the Beresford was reported as having 182 apartments of three-and-a-half to twelve rooms each.
In each apartment, the elevator foyers lead to a central gallery. Duplex units contain curved iron-and-brass staircases, leading to bedrooms on the upper level. In single-story units, the gallery leads directly to the living and dining rooms. There are also long hallways leading to bedrooms and the kitchen. Butlers' pantries and maids' rooms also lead off each kitchen. Rooms generally had large dimensions, particularly in comparison to apartments built after World War II. Some units also contained dedicated "breakfast rooms", which were distinct from the dining rooms. The units behind each setback also contained "sun rooms", which open out onto the terraces. There were multiple large closets in each apartment, as well as large walk-in closets paneled in cedar. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, and the master bedroom of each unit also adjoined a dressing room.
The tops of all three towers were intended to be triple-story penthouse apartments. The southeast-corner tower contains unit 22D, a four-story apartment with one bedroom, two terraces, a library, and two maids' rooms. The southwest tower apartment has a similar layout with three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a library. All three towers were designed with observation rooms. The top of the southeast corner had a water tower, and the northeast corner had a smaller water tower. Mike Nichols (and later David and Helen Gurley Brown) lived in the southeast tower, while John McEnroe lived within the northeast tower. The author Steven Ruttenbaum described the southeast-corner apartment as "one of the most desirable apartments in the Beresford", even more so than the other two towers.
All of the ceilings are finished in plaster; in contrast to other buildings, the structural beams were hidden above the ceilings. Some ceilings have molded plaster reliefs, although even the simplest ceilings had molded, three-tiered plaster cornices. Ceilings on the second to 16th stories were generally high, while ceilings on the top floors were generally high. One observer said the high ceilings and the decorations constituted "the final touch of grace". There are wood-burning fireplaces in the living rooms; these contain ornate cast-stone fireplace mantels decorated in the neo-Gothic style. Each bathroom was covered in ceramic tiles and contained glass doors and multiple showerheads, a novelty at the time of the Beresford's construction. Some units were redecorated for specific tenants; for example, Ely Jacques Kahn designed an Art Deco-style apartment for artist Edith Bry when the building was completed.
History
By the late 1920s, high-rise apartment buildings were being developed on Central Park West in anticipation of the completion of the New York City Subway's Eighth Avenue Line, which opened in 1932. Central Park West was concurrently widened from . Under the Multiple Dwelling Act of 1929, this allowed the construction of proportionally taller buildings on the avenue. The Beresford, with its three relatively short towers, had been designed just before the passage of the act. It contrasted with the multi-story twin towers of the Century, the Majestic, the San Remo, and the El Dorado, which were all built one to two years after the Beresford was completed. As Christopher Gray of The New York Times wrote: "Had the Beresford been designed a year later, its three towers would have sprouted up like Jack's beanstalk."
Development
The Beresford Central Park West Corporation, headed by Bennett Gordon, acquired the old Hotel Beresford from Frederick Brown in March 1925. Sugarman and Berger filed plans the next year for a high-rise apartment building to replace the hotel. These plans did not proceed, and Gordon resold the hotel to Max Verschleiser in 1927. Active Properties Inc. a syndicate led by banker and politician Henry Pollock, acquired the site in March 1928. Emery Roth filed plans that August for a 15-story building on Central Park West, between 81st and 82nd Streets, on behalf of the site's owner Manhattan Square Beresford Inc. The structure was to cost $3 million. Demolition of the old Beresford began the same month. By November 1928, the building's leasing agent L. J. Phillips & Co. was renting out apartments at rates averaging $1,000 per room.
Seventy percent of the suites had already been leased by May 1929. The construction of the new Beresford had prompted another developer to buy an adjacent group of row houses and develop an apartment building there. The Beresford's owners obtained a $5 million first mortgage loan for the building that July. HRH Construction was paid $150,000 for its role as general contractor for the Beresford. HRH also agreed to manage the Beresford (as well as the San Remo, which it also built) in exchange for two percent of the buildings' gross profits.
Rental house
The building officially opened on September 13, 1929, a little more than a month before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. At the time, Edgar Stix of L. J. Phillips & Co. predicted that all apartments at the building would be rented within the next month. This optimistic projection was based on the fact that an apartment with 13 rooms had been rented for $15,000 a year, while several five-room apartments were rented at rates of $7,500 a year. The Beresford had been able to rent out many of its suites for $1,000 per room but, after the Wall Street Crash, similar buildings on Central Park West were not able to match that rate. The New York Times reported in February 1931 that the Bank of United States, which had collapsed not long beforehand, was the actual owner of the Beresford. The bank's relationship to the Beresford became publicly known after a bank official testified that he had been ordered to burn the bank's documents in the Beresford's incinerator.
After the Bank of United States had collapsed, the New York State Banking Department took over the bank's holdings. At that point, the luxury residential market in Manhattan had declined significantly. By early 1934, the Banking Department was in the process of selling the Beresford to an unidentified investor. The Beresford had still not been sold by the next year, prompting the department to adjust the building's mortgage loan to facilitate its sale. The Banking Department had planned to subdivide some of the large suites in the mid-1930s, but these plans were canceled after the luxury market began to improve. The journalist Peter Osnos wrote that the Beresford and other Central Park West apartment houses contained many Jewish residents during the 1930s and 1940s, since these buildings were not "restricted", unlike others on the East Side.
In July 1940, a group of anonymous investors acquired the San Remo and Beresford, assuming a combined $7.4 million in mortgages on the two structures. The buildings themselves cost only $25,000, although they had cost a combined $10 million to build. One observer likened the sale to "buying the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth for pocket change". The investment group was known as the Sanbere Corporation, a portmanteau of the two buildings' names. The New York Times subsequently reported that Max N. and Norbert Natanson owned the building for two decades. The Natansons sold the building in March 1959 to Sarah and Isidor Korein. The Korein family sold a partial ownership stake to investor Daniel Levy shortly thereafter. In 1961, the Koreins sold the leasehold under the Beresford to an investment syndicate represented by Walter J. Fried. At the time, it had 193 apartments and was still characterized as a luxury apartment house.
Cooperative conversion
By April 1962, the Beresford's owner Riker & Co. was planning to turn the building into a housing cooperative. The apartments were to be offered at prices between $16,500 and $55,650, with yearly maintenance fees ranging from $3,200 to $10,600. The Beresford officially became a co-op in June 1962 after existing tenants and newcomers bought shares in the co-op for half of the apartments. Riker & Co. then obtained a $4 million mortgage. The Beresford was one of twelve apartment buildings on Central Park West to be converted into housing cooperatives in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Pease & Elliman (later Douglas Elliman) was appointed as the managing agent for the Beresford in 1964. Town & Country magazine described the Beresford in the 1970s as having two doormen at each entrance and one operator at each elevator.
The co-op board initially did not seek official city-landmark status for the Beresford, as that would have raised the cost of maintenance. Nonetheless, the board members wanted to preserve as much of the original design as possible, including the windows. The Beresford's co-op board also periodically renovated the tenants' private elevator foyers, along with other shared interior spaces. The Beresford was protected as an official city landmark in 1987, and Akam Associates replaced Douglas Elliman as the building's leasing agent in 1989. During the 1990s, Crain's New York described the Majestic, Beresford, and El Dorado as having "become brand names that grow in strength as noted personalities move in". The Beresford's superintendent had even created a "Beresford Wall of Fame" with photographs of celebrities who lived there. Conversely, since there was a large number of celebrity residents, their presence did not affect property values, as in other neighborhoods with relatively few celebrity residents.
In the early 2000s, the co-op board passed a rule that limited the duration of apartment renovations. The rule was enacted after comedian Jerry Seinfeld spent more than two years on renovating his apartment, prompting complaints from his neighbors. During the same time, twenty of the former maids' rooms at ground level were sold to tenants at an average price of $200,000. The northern tower was restored in 2005. The Beresford remained a luxury apartment house during the early 20th century.
Notable residents
According to a 1996 article in New York magazine, many brokers classified the Beresford as one of five top-tier apartment buildings on Central Park West, largely because of the expansive southward views from the building. The others were 88 Central Park West, 101 Central Park West, the Dakota, and the San Remo.

The AMNH had also wanted to buy an apartment for its president in 1988, but the Beresford's co-op board voted against allowing the AMNH to buy a unit.
Impact
Paul Goldberger of The New York Times wrote in 1976 that the Beresford was "a glorious building whose three castle‐like towers and fine siting have made it a long-beloved West Side landmark". Though Goldberger did not consider the Beresford to be among New York City's ten best apartment buildings, he called it a "cousin" of the San Remo, which did rank among Goldberger's top ten. In 1996, a writer for Interior Design magazine said the Beresford was "among the Upper West Side's top-drawer co-ops, the buildings that evoke the basic emotions of lust and envy when one thinks-or dreams-of the apartments within". Carter B. Horsley, a former writer for the Times, ranked the Beresford in 1998 as one of the "top 10 views of Central Park".
Critical commentary of the Beresford continued in the 21st century. During the 2000s, The New York Times said the presence of Central Park West's "architectural gems", such as the Beresford, contributed to increased housing prices on the eastern side of Central Park, along Fifth Avenue. John Freeman Gill of the Times wrote in 2005 that the Beresford was one of several buildings on Central Park West whose bases exhibited "the comfortable old solidity of limestone". The Wall Street Journal referred to the Beresford, Dakota, and San Remo as the "three grand dames of the West Side".
The building is a contributing property to the Central Park West Historic District, which was recognized by the U.S. National Register of Historic Places when its nomination was accepted on November 9, 1982. In 1984, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) hosted hearings to determine whether the Century, Majestic, San Remo, Beresford, and El Dorado should be designated as city landmarks. Manhattan Community Board 7 supported all five designations, but the Beresford's co-op board was concerned about whether a landmark designation would hinder maintenance of the building. The LPC designated the Beresford as a city landmark on September 19, 1987. Landmarks commissioner Gene A. Norman said the Beresford's towers are part of the Central Park West skyline, contributing to the "image that most of the world has of New York". The Beresford is also part of the Upper West Side Historic District, which became a New York City historic district in 1990.

The Roosevelt Protected Landscape, also known as Roosevelt Park, is a protected area in the Central Luzon region in the Philippines. It occupies an area of of grasslands and old-growth forest in northern Bataan province near Olongapo and the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. The park was established as Roosevelt National Park covering an area of on 30 March 1933 through Proclamation No. 567 signed by Governor-General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. In 1965, the national park was reduced to . On 23 April 2000, the park was reclassified as a protected landscape area and was further reduced to its present area of .
Location
The Roosevelt Protected Landscape area sits on a narrow valley at the foot of Mount Santa Rita and Mount Malasimbo in the Zambales Mountain Range at the border between the municipalities of Dinalupihan and Hermosa in Bataan. It spans the Dinalupihan villages of Roosevelt and Payangan, and the Hermosa village of Tipo just east of Subic Bay near the boundary with the city of Olongapo. Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) and Jose Abad Santos Avenue (also known as Olongapo–Gapan Road) traverse the southern part of the protected area with the Tipo Toll Barrier that connects SCTEx to the Subic Freeport Expressway close to park's southwestern edge.
Topography and ecology
The park is bisected by several streams, including the Cucubog and Olongi rivers. It is composed of 87% grassland dominated by cogon and talahib, and 13% remnants of old growth forest and mahogany and teak plantations. The park is a habitat for several endangered species and game animals which include pythons, monitor lizards, cloud rats, quails, kingfishers, flycatchers and fruit bats.

Khalilabad is a city and a municipal board in Sant Kabir Nagar district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is the district headquarters of Sant Kabir Nagar district.
Geography
Khalilabad lies on the Ayodhya-Gorakhpur road and is around 36 km west of Gorakhpur and 36 km east of Basti. Khalilabad lies in Lat. 26 47'N. and Long. 83 4' E. This is the center point of Gorakhpur and Basti. It is the headquarters of this new district Sant Kabir Nagar.
The town is small but has a history that can be traced back to the Mughal emperors. The place got its name from its founder, Qazi Khalil-ur-Rahman, who was appointed chakladar of Gorakhpur about 1860 AD.
At present this place is more famous for its fabric wholesalers, Readymade Garment Retailers, and much more, popularly known as Bardahia Bazar. The tehsil building, situated to the south of the road to Gorakhpur, is an imposing structure created after the first freedom struggle in 1857 in which the place was sacked.
Climate
The climate of the district is more equable than the adjoining districts to the south. The year may be divided into four seasons. The winter season, from mid-November to February, is followed by the summer season lasting till about the middle of June. The period from mid-June to the end of September constitutes the southwest monsoon season. October to mid-November is the post-monsoon or transition period.
Rainfall: The average annual rainfall in the district is 1166 mm.
Temperature: During the winter seasons, the mean minimum temperature is about 9 degrees Celsius, and the mean maximum is 23 degrees Celsius, while during the summer seasons the minimum is about 25 degrees Celsius and the mean maximum is about 44 degrees Celsius.
Humidity: In the southwest monsoon and the post-monsoon seasons, the relative humidity is high, above 70 percent. Thereafter the humidity decreases and in the summer the air is very dry.
Cloudiness: During the monsoon season, and for brief spells of a day or two in association with passing disturbances in winter, heavily clouded or overcast skies prevail. During the rest of the year, the skies are mostly clear or lightly clouded.
Winds: Winds are in general very light with a slight increase in force in the late summer and monsoon seasons. The average annual wind blow in the district ranges from 2 to 7.1 km/hrs.
River system and water resources
The Ami, the chief tributary of the Rapti, is a stream that commences at a short distance from Rapti in Rasulpur and issues from a large tract of paddy land.
The lakes of the district are numerous and several are of considerable size. They are most commonly formed by the changes in the river channels, while in other cases the natural depressions in which the surface of water collects, are generally due in some measure to fluvial action. The largest and the most celebrated lake in the district is the Bakhira or Badhanchh Tal, sometimes called the Moti Jhil, which lies on the eastern borders of the district between Bakhira and Mehdawal. This lake, though seldom more than two meters in depth, covers a very large area of about 12 km. long and 4 km. broad. The water in the lake is largely derived from the overflow from Rapti.
Ghaghra popular as the Saryu river, Kuano river, and Kathinaiya river is also situated in the district.

Rabbi Levi is a lunar impact crater that is located among the rugged highlands in the southeastern part of the Moon's near side. Several notable craters are located nearby, including Zagut just to the north-northwest, the heavily impacted Riccius to the southeast, and Lindenau to the northeast next to Zagut.
This is a heavily worn and eroded crater formation, with several smaller craters lying along the incised rim and across the interior floor. A group of these craters form a cluster in the western part of the floor, consisting of the satellite craters A, L, M, and D, as well as lesser craterlets trailing away to the south-southeast. The largest of these craters is Rabbi Levi L, a bowl-shaped formation just to the northwest of the midpoint. The remainder of the floor is relatively level and nearly featureless. Clusters of craters also lay across the eastern and southwestern sections of the rim.
Attached to the northeast is the remnant of an old formation that intrudes into Rabbi Levi, producing a straightened section of rim along that face. This unnamed formation has been almost completely obliterated, and is overlain in the northwest by Lindenau, and along the outer northeast side by Rothmann.
The crater is named after the Medieval French Jewish scholar Levi ben Gershon, better known by his Graecized name as Gersonides.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Rabbi Levi.

Bell Internet, originally and frequently still called Sympatico, is the residential Internet service provider (ISP) division of BCE Inc. As of May 3, 2012, Bell Internet had over 3 million subscribers in Ontario and Quebec, making it the largest ISP in Canada.
History
1990s: Early years
Sympatico was launched on November 29, 1995. Originally a national service operated jointly by Canada's incumbent local exchange carriers and operational run as a content portal by MediaLinx , the companies other than Bell (including Aliant) have since retreated to their own brands.
2000s: Value-added services and rebranding
Starting in Summer 2003, Sympatico tried to differentiate its service from its competitors by adding value-added services. This meant the launch of Radial Point's (formerly Zero Knowledge) suite of antivirus, firewall and anti-spyware services. Although a fee was originally required, this is no longer the case, as Bell now provides the service at no extra charge for DSL customers. In 2004, Sympatico added a wireless modem-router hardware upgrade and Microsoft's MSN Premium software to its portfolio. In Summer 2007, Sympatico packaged its Security suite and wireless home networking modem together with its high speed offering as Sympatico Total Internet.
Bell Sympatico changed its name to Bell Internet on August 8, 2008, in conjunction with the Today Just Got Better rebranding. Bell subsidiaries NorthernTel, Télébec and Northwestel continue to brand their Internet services as Sympatico, and users receive an @ntl.sympatico.ca, @tlb.sympatico.ca, or @sympatico.ca email address, respectively.
2010s: Lower caps and faster speeds
On January 3, 2012, customer advocacy blog Stop The Cap! reported that Bell lowered its bandwidth caps in Ontario and Quebec by 10 GB for all new activations of its Fibe services, except for the Fibe 25 plan in Ontario which was lowered by 25 GB instead and Fibe 6 and 7 which remain unchanged. In May 2012, Bell launched new fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) plans and simplified its slower DSL plans. FTTH regions can now download and upload at symmetric speeds of up to 175 Mbit/s. The previous changes for lower bandwidth caps were reverted for the new Fibe 15/1 and Fibe 25/7 plans. The Fibe 5/1 plan replaced the older Essential, Essential Plus, Fibe 6 and Fibe 7 plans. The bandwidth cap for Fibe 5/1, however, was lowered from 25 GB to 15 GB.
The Fibe 50/50 FTTH plan was removed from Bell's website by February 2013. In its place, a Fibe 50/10 FTTN plan was made available for the first time. During that same month, usage caps for the 15/10, 25/10 and 50/10 plans were lowered by 15, 25 and 75 GB respectively. February also saw the addition of an unlimited Internet usage add-on for Bell Internet. It costs $30/month and can be added to any residential plan. Those who subscribe to telephony (Bell Mobility or Bell Home Phone) and residential television (Bell Satellite TV or Bell Fibe TV) from Bell can obtain a $20/month discount on the unlimited Internet usage add-on.
Hardware
When Bell started its DSL Internet service, then known as Sympatico, it simply offered one DSL modem, the Nortel 1-Meg Modem, which connected to only one computer. Later, it added more models with routing and wireless LAN capabilities built-in, eliminating the need to purchase additional hardware. Customers previously had to pay extra for such capabilities. Today, both of these features are standard in both all-in-one devices Bell lends to its customers. Standard DSL customers must rent Bell's 2Wire 2701HG-G device, which can create 802.11g wireless access point. VDSL customers consist of any service with more than 1 Mbit/s of upload speed, and they must rent the Cellpipe router 802.11n-capable device instead, which also bundles a superior DSL modem.
The SpeedStream 5200 is a basic, legacy device, distributed during the early 2000s, providing an RJ45 or a USB port for connectivity.
The SpeedStream 6520 is a wireless-capable, legacy device, distributed during the mid-2000s,
The back of the SpeedStream 6520. Four RJ45 ports, one USB port and 802.11g wireless LAN antenna for connectivity can be seen.
The 2Wire 2701HG-G is Bell's current device for standard DSL customers, distributed since 2009. It provides four RJ45 ports and 802.11g wireless LAN for connectivity, but omits the previously available USB port.
The Cellpipe 7130 has the same ports as the 2Wire, but also adds ports for a wireless antenna, a console or fiber. (No longer being distributed)
The Sagemcom F@st 2864 (marketed as the ″Bell Connection Hub″) was used for ADSL/VDSL and FTTH customers, distributed 2010 to June 2014. It provides one WAN port for FTTH, an RJ11 jack for VDSL connection, four GigE LAN ports, an HPNA connector, 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN for connectivity and 2 USB ports.
The Sagemcom F@st 4350 (Marketed as the "Home Hub 1000") is Bell's current device, since June 2014, for internet only customers subscribing to 15/10 or higher and issued on both ADSL/VDSL and FTTH. It provides one WAN port for FTTH, an RJ11 jack for VDSL connection, four GigE LAN ports, 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) wireless LAN for connectivity and 2 USB ports.
The Sagemcom F@st 5250 (Marketed as the "Home Hub 2000") is Bell's current device, since June 2014, for internet and Fibe TV customers issued on both ADSL/VDSL and FTTH. It provides one WAN port for FTTH, two grey RJ11 jack for VDSL connection (pair bonding capable), two green RJ11 jacks for VoIP (not currently used), four GigE LAN ports, 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz) and 802.11a/n/ac (5 GHz) wireless LAN for connectivity and 2 USB ports.
As of November 2021, the Home Hub 4000 is Bell's newest modem, for Internet and Fibe TV customers on different types of Plans.
Services
While Bell Internet mostly sells digital subscriber line (DSL) service, they also offer dial-up service to businesses and grandfathered residential customers. This legacy technology uses a telephone modem to provide Internet access.
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
Bell's digital subscriber line (DSL) services are based on ADSL, ADSL2+ and VDSL2 technology. The main differences in both equipments vary from the speed of signal, its length and its ability to overcome the noise of a phone line. Except for very few grandfathered customers, Bell has monthly data transfer limits for all of their tiered Internet services. Both downloads and uploads count towards the limit. The following Bell Internet services are only available in Ontario and Quebec, and availability varies by region. Fibe services can only be used where fibre-to-the-neighbourhood (FTTN) technology is deployed. This currently includes urban Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto as well as most major cities around GTA. Non-FTTN regions offer two plans: Bell Internet and Bell Internet Plus.
Bell has simplified its DSL lineup to offer only two traditional plans and five FTTN plans.
Fibre To The Home (FTTH)
Bell Fibe Internet (FTTH) services are offered by Bell in select regions of Ontario and Quebec. Bell guarantees that the FTTH download and upload speeds advertised will be delivered to the Bell equipment. Bell Fibe Internet is offered at the following speeds: 25/25 Mbit/s, 50/50 Mbit/s, 150/150 Mbit/s, 500/500 Mbit/s, 1.5/0.94 Gbit/s, 3/3 Gbit/s, and 8/8 Gbit/s.
Bell Aliant offers a similar but different Fibe service under the same branding to certain areas in Atlantic Canada.
Dry DSL
Naked DSL, commonly known as dry DSL in Canada, consists of a DSL service without a traditional home phone service.
Bell does not charge any additional fees for dry DSL service; previously, there was a charge of $4 per month. Bell charges resellers a monthly fee ranging from $7.25 to $25.10 and a one-time activation fee for dry DSL service. Although Bell still attributes a phone number to a dry DSL line, it cannot be used for phone calls. When one attempts to call a dry DSL phone number, they receive the following message: "The number you are calling cannot receive incoming calls. This is a recording." The message is then repeated in French.
McAfee Security
Since April 11, 2013, Bell offers McAfee Security on all of its current Internet plans.
Add-ons
These are services offered by Bell Internet in addition to DSL or FTTH services, either for free or at additional costs:
PC Care, an optional computer technical support service with a monthly fee.
Usage Insurance, which increases the monthly bandwidth cap with one or multiple blocks of 25GB, or provides unlimited Internet usage for a fee.
Unlimited Internet Usage
Wireless Home Networking
Legacy services
Bell previously offered Portable Internet and Rural Internet services in select rural regions, similarly to what Rogers Communications offered. These services used the Inukshuk Wireless network. Bell is discontinuing these offerings. Customers are encouraged to use Bell Mobility Internet services instead, which generally offer a much lower bandwidth cap.
Bell Entertainment was a bundle offer which included Bell Fibe TV service and 25 Mbit/s "Fibe" DSL. It was only available in some parts of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). Customers can now add any DSL Internet plan to their Fibe TV service. Despite being an IPTV service, Bell does not charge usage-based billing for Bell Fibe TV.
Personal Vault was a backup service, available nationwide both for customers and non-customers.
While inMusic remains available as a music news portal, both the online music store and subscription service were discontinued.

Roman Mykhailovych Zvarych (; born 20 November 1953) is a Ukrainian politician. A former United States citizen, he was one of the first people to relinquish that citizenship in order to take up Ukrainian citizenship after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Early life
Zvarych was born in Yonkers, New York to Soviet émigré parents who came to the United States during World War II. In later interviews, he says that at age fifteen he swore an oath to "achieve Ukrainian statehood or ... die fighting for it". In 1976 he earned a B.A. with honors from Manhattan College in Bronx, New York.
Emigration to Ukraine and political career
Zvarych moved to Ukraine in 1991 with the intention of pursuing an academic career, but soon after became involved in politics. In 1992, he and Slava Stetsko founded the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, a right-wing party. He renounced his U.S. citizenship in 1995. Along with fellow politician Ivan Lozowy this made him one of the first former Americans to renounce U.S. citizenship in favour of Ukrainian citizenship. A notification confirming his loss of citizenship appeared in the Federal Register in June 1997 with his name listed as "Roman Mychajlo Zwarycz".
Zwarych ran for a seat in the 1994 election for a single-mandate seat representing a district of Kyiv in the Verkhovna Rada, and received 70% of the vote but was not elected due to his failure to meet the voter turnout threshold of 50% mandated by the electoral law at the time. He was eventually elected in the 1998 election from a party-list proportional district. Thereafter he sat in the Verkhovna Rada for six years, serving on various committees including the Committee on Legal Reform and the Committee on European Integration. Outside of the Verkhovna Rada he also moonlighted as a lawyer; Ukrainian courts had no requirement for practitioners of law to hold certifications or pass a bar examination. On one occasion Zvarych successfully defended a family against eviction. More importantly, during the Orange Revolution in the midst of the 2004 presidential election, he successfully argued a case on behalf of Viktor Yushchenko to prevent the creation of Ukrainian voting districts for Ukrainians in Russia.
In the spring of 2005, Ukrainian Pravda published an article alleging that the minister had
not been a professor at Columbia University, had not authored scientific papers, and did not
receive a diploma from the university as was stated in his official biographies.
Then in an exclusive interview with The Ukrainian Weekly Roman Zvarych admitted that he
had not received a masters or a doctoral degree from Columbia University, nor had he attained
the rank of professor at New York University. And unfortunately he had no formal legal
education, either.
Columbia University confirmed that Roman Zvarych had not received a document of
completion of higher education from them. Nor was the publication able to obtain confirmation
from Manhattan College, where, according to Zvarych, he had received a bachelor’s degree.
New York University spokesperson Josh Taylor told The Ukrainian Weekly that Zvarych had
been "a part-time lecturer" in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies from 1989 to
1991, i.e., not for eight years but for two. Teaching evening continuing education classes is a
very common way in New York for businessmen and other non-academic people to acquire an
academic gloss.
As his basis for aspiring to the post of Justice Minister of country with 50 million people
(certainly no banana republic), Zvarych said that he had served as a deputy in the country's
legislative assembly for 6 years, and that gave him "considerable legal expertise."
In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election Zvarych was a candidate of Petro Poroshenko Bloc; placed 82nd on the electoral list. But the party only won 63 seats on the electoral list; hence he was not (re-)elected into parliament. But he returned to parliament nevertheless on 15 March 2018 to take the place of Valery Pakzkan who was just elected head of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine.

The Greek Women's Water Polo A1 League () is the premier championship for women's water polo teams in Greece. It was founded in 1988, and it is currently contested by twelve teams. Greek League is ranked as one of the top national domestic leagues in European water polo. The champion, the runner-up and the third-placed team qualify for the LEN Euro League.
The first champion was Ethnikos Piraeus. In the following years until 2008 ANO Glyfada and NO Vouliagmeni dominated. In the next five years, Olympiacos Piraeus and Vouliagmeni were alternating at the top of the championship, but in the last decade Olympiacos Piraeus has been completely dominated.
Only four teams have won the championship so far. Olympiacos Piraeus have won the most championships (14), while being also the current champion (2022–23).
Greek clubs are among the most successful in European water polo. They have won fifteen titles in all European competitions. The teams have won the LEN Champions' Cup / LEN Euro League seven times, the LEN Super Cup and the LEN Trophy four times each. Concretely, Vouliagmeni have won two Champion Cups (2009, 2010), two LEN Super Cups (2009, 2010) and one LEN Trophy (2003), Olympiacos have won three LEN Euro Leagues (2015, 2021, 2022), three LEN Super Cup (2015, 2021, 2022) and one LEN Trophy (2014), Glyfada have won two Champion Cups (2000, 2003), and Ethnikos Piraeus have won two LEN Trophy cups (2010, 2022).

Dunette (30 March 1976 – 25 April 1998) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. In three seasons of racing she won five of her thirteen races and twice defeated the outstanding racemare Three Troikas. As a two-year-old she showed considerable promise by winning two of her three races including the Prix d'Aumale. In the following year she was beaten by Three Troikas in her first two races before springing a 50/1 upset over her great rival in the Prix de Diane. As a four-year-old she dead-heated for first place in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and successfully conceded weight to Three Troikas in the Prix du Prince d'Orange. She was rated the second-best filly of her generation in Europe in both 1979 and 1980. After her retirement from racing she had some success as a broodmare, producing the Canadian International Stakes winner French Glory.
Background
Dunette was a bay mare with a white star bred in France by the Haras La Verrerie de la Brosse. Her sire Hard To Beat was an Irish-bred, French-trained horse whose wins included the Grand Critérium, Prix Lupin and Prix du Jockey Club. He stood for three seasons in Europe before being exported to Japan, siring few top-class performers in either location. Dunette was the third foal of her dam Pram, who was a winner in France and a daughter of Gourabe who finished second in the Prix Vermeille.
Dunette was sent to the Deauville yearling sale in 1977 but failed to make her reserve price and later entered the ownership of Mme H. A. Love. The filly was trained by Emmanuel, Chevalier du Fau and was ridden in most of her races by Georges Doleuze. Dunette was a nervous filly who often sweated badly before her races and was a poor traveller. Her name is French for "poop deck".
Racing career
1978: two-year-old season
Dunette began her racing career in a maiden race over 1200 metres at Saint-Cloud Racecourse in July and won by four lengths. She was moved up in class and distance for the Group Three Prix d'Aumale over 1600 metres at Chantilly Racecourse in September and won again, beating Minstrel Girl by one and a half lengths with Cheerfully in third place. The filly was stepped up again in class for the Critérium des Pouliches at Longchamp Racecourse and started 2/1 second favourite behind the Prix Robert Papin winner Pitasia. She failed to reproduce her Chantilly form, finishing fifth behind Pitasia, Minstrel Girl, Cheerfully and La Trinite.
1979: three-year-old season
Dunette begn her second season in the Prix Vanteaux over 1900 metres at Longchamp on 16 April in which she was matched for the first time against the Alec Head trained Three Troikas. She was no match for the Head filly but was a clear second best, finishing three lengths behind the winner and four clear of Felix Culpa in third. Her next appearance was the Prix Saint-Alary over 2000 metres at the same course on 20 May when she started 11/1 fourth choice in the betting behind Three Troikas who had won the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches in the interim. She set off at an exceptional pace, proving too fast for the Head stable's pacemaker Sealy, but was exhausted by the final turn and faded to finish fifth behind Three Troikas, Pitasia, Salpinx and Karinetta.
On 10 June, Dunette started a 50/1 outsider for the 130th running of the Prix de Diane (sponsored by Revlon) over 2000 metres at Chantilly. Three Troikas, coupled in the betting with her pacemaker Sealy, started at odds of 1/10 ahead of Producer (winner of the Prix de Royaumont), Nonoalca (runner-up in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches), Cheerfully, Pitasia and Salpinx. In contrast to her previous run, Dunette was successfully restrained by Doleuze and turned into the straight in seventh or eighth place. Three Troikas went to the front from Nonoalca and Producer but Dunette produced a sustained run on the outside to catch the previously unbeaten favourite 50 metres from the finish and won by a nose. There was a gap of two and a half lengths back to Producer who took third ahead of Pitasia, Salpinx and the fading Nonoalca.
After a break of three months, Dunette returned in September for the Prix Vermeille at Longchamp. She started at odds of 9/1 in a very strong field which included Three Troikas, Pitasia, Producer and Salpinx as well as The Oaks winner Scintillate and the Prix Minerve winner Anifa. Racing over 2400 metres for the first time she finished fourth of the thirteen runners behind Three Troikas, Salpinx and Pitasia, beaten just over two lengths by the winner.
1980: four-year-old season
On her debut as a four-year-old, Dunette was matched against male opposition for the first time and finished third behind Scorpio and Gain in the Grand Prix d'Evry on 1 May. She started 9/10 favourite for La Coupe at Chantilly on 15 June but ran poorly, finishing fifth of the seven runners behind the François Boutin-trained Prove It Baby. In the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud over 2500 metres on 6 July, Dunette started 6/1 fourth choice in the betting behind Scorpio (who had won the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot), Shakapour and the Prix du Jockey Club winner Policeman. The other contenders included Gain, Lancastrian and the Prix Lupin winner Belgio. Dunette tracked the leaders before moving forward to take the lead from Policeman 200 metres from the finish. In the closing stages he faced a strong challenge from Shakapour and the two horses crossed the line together with the racecourse judges declaring a dead heat. Doleuze was ctiticised for raising his arm to celebrate victory at the finish, although Shakapour's jockey Yves Saint-Martin was also at fault, having dropped his whip in the closing stages. Later in July, she was sent overseas for the first time to contest Britain's most prestigious weight-for-age race, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes over one and a half miles at Ascot Racecourse. She made steady progress on the outside in the straight without ever looking likely to win and finished fourth behind Ela-Mana-Mou, Mrs Penny and Gregorian.
Dunette was ruled out of a run in the Prix Foy after suffering a bout of colic and returned in the Prix du Prince d'Orance over 2000 metres at Longchamp on 21 September. She started second favourite behind Three Troikas (the fillies were meeting for the fifth time) with the other runners including Providential and Northern Baby. Despite conceding two pounds to her old rival, Dunette won comfortably by half a length from Three Troikas with Doloeuze patting her on the head as she crossed the line. Northern Baby was a further length and a half away in third ahead of Viteric and Providential. Two weeks later, Dunette started at odds of 15/1 in a twenty-runner field for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. She was prominent from the start and looked to have a good chance in the straight but was unable to quicken in the closing stages and finished seventh behind Detroit, Argument, Ela-Mana-Mou, Three Troikas, Nebos and Nicholas Bill.
Assessment
In the 1978 official French handicap for two-year-olds, Dunette was rated fourteen pounds inferior to the top-rated filly Sigy. The independent Timeform organisation gave her a rating of 108, twenty-four pounds behind Sigy. In their annual Racehorses of 1978 Timeform commented that she would be "suited by 1¼m" and was "probably better than her running in the Pouliches" suggested. In the following year Timeform awarded her a mark of 127, making her the third-best female racehorse in Europe behind Three Troikas (133) and Producer (130). The International Classification for 1979 rated Dunette the second-best three-year-old filly in Europe, nine pounds behind Three Troikas. In 1980 she was rated 122 by Timeform, six pounds behind their top-rated older female Three Troikas. The International Classification rated her the second-best older female in Europe, two pounds behind Three Troikas and level with Kilijaro.
Breeding record
Dunette was retired from racing at the end of the 1980 season to become a broodmare. After several seasons in Europe she was exported to Japan. She produced at least eight foals and five winners between 1984 and 1998. Dunette died 25 April 1998 after foaling Grand Dunette.

Pungalina-Seven Emu Sanctuary is a 3060 km2 private protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) which purchased Pungalina Station in 2009, with some assistance from the Wildlife Australia Fund. It adjoins the Gulf of Carpentaria near the border with Queensland, lying in the Gulf Coastal bioregion. The reserve is bordered by Calvert Hills and Wollogorang Stations to the south and east. The nearest town is Borroloola, 150 km to the west.
History
The reserve is made up of two separate pastoral properties, Pungalina and Seven Emu. Pungalina is a former cattle station while Seven Emu is owned by a Garawa man, Frank Shadforth, who has subleased of the property to AWC for wildlife conservation since 2009. Seven Emu has of coastline and links Pungalina to the coast. The arrangement is a historic partnership between a non-profit, private conservation organisation and an Indigenous landholder.
Seven Emu is named after Seven Emu Creek, which runs through the property. It was explorer Ludwig Leichhardt who named the creek, after shooting a mob of emus nearby when on his way to Port Essington in 1844–5.
Landscape and ecosystems
The Gulf Coastal bioregion is characterised by:
"...gently undulating coastal plains along the southern Gulf of Carpentaria from near the Roper River to near the Queensland border, with scattered rugged areas of Proterozoic sandstones. Soils are predominantly sandy red earths and shallow gravelly sands. The climate is tropical with annual rainfall between 800 and 1200 mm, falling mostly between December and March; cyclones are a frequent phenomenon. The bioregion encompasses the lower reaches of many major rivers. Eucalyptus woodland with tussock or hummock grass understorey dominates the bioregion, with significant areas of tidal flats, mangroves and littoral grassland."
The reserve contains a variety of habitat types including, from south to north, eucalypt woodlands on sandstone plateaus with pockets of dry rainforest in deep gorges, floodplain woodlands and freshwater wetlands, coastal monsoon rainforest, littoral saline grasslands, mangroves, and intertidal mudflats. There is an abrupt transition, marked by an escarpment, between the plateau and the floodplain. The Calvert River drains the dissected plateau country through a network of steep-sided gorges and flows north-eastwards through the lowlands of the reserve before emptying into the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Fauna
An initial faunal survey in 2009 found over 231 vertebrate species present, including 19 native mammals, 151 birds and 61 kinds of reptiles and frogs, representing more than half of the nearly 430 native species that are predicted to occur on the reserve. Animals listed as threatened include the masked owl, red goshawk, Gouldian finch, Carpentarian false antechinus, freshwater sawfish, Mertens' water monitor and Gulf snapping turtle. Other birds and mammals recorded include the purple-crowned fairy-wren, Australian bustard, short-eared rock-wallaby, spectacled hare-wallaby and northern brown bandicoot. Marine species recorded off the beach include Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, loggerhead turtle, green turtle, shovelnose shark and giant trevally, as well as saltwater crocodiles.
The coastal and subcoastal habitats of the southern Gulf region are not as well known ornithologically as the Top End to the west and the Cape York Peninsula to the east, with several birds having gaps in their recorded ranges between the two areas. Birds recorded in the reserve during the survey that help fill the distributional gaps include the Pacific baza, little bronze-cuckoo, figbird and white-breasted whistler.
Seven Emu Station
Seven Emu Station is a working cattle station, which has been in the Shadforth family since Garawa man Willie Shadforth bought it outright for cash in 1953. The Shadforths were one of the early settler families in the region, and many of the Shadforth men partnered with local Garawa and Yanyuwa women. Willie was an expert cattle drover and horse trader, who moved cattle and horses between Queensland, the NT, Western Australia and South Australia. He bought the pastoral lease for £10,000 from his friend George Butcher after first winning money on a horse in the Caulfield Cup, and then putting all of his winnings on 14-to-1 outsider in the Melbourne Cup, winning there again. He was the first Indigenous Australian to purchase such a property.
Willie passed on the property to his son Frank (the seventh of ten children), who now looks after guests, while Frank's son Clarry and his children manage the cattle station. Tourists who visit the property are given guided tours which pass on some of the Garawa traditions and culture as well as native fauna and stories of European exploration of the area. Willie had maintained his traditional culture, such as in ceremonies and law, and passed his knowledge down to Frank.
Frank started running a self-funded program in the 2010s to help give Aboriginal boys and girls who have been in trouble a second chance in life, teaching them skills such as catching bulls, building fences and mustering. In mid-2020, the Northern Territory Government started funding for the program, committing to run youth camps over the following five years. There will be a series of intensive short-term camps and longer ones. Dale Wakefield, the NT Minister for Territory Families, said that the camps "not only focus on personal responsibility and consequences, but they will also give young people a way out of crime by connecting them with practical learning, vocational education training and work programs". Permanent accommodation will be built for residents of the long-term camps, who will be youths struggling to get out of the juvenile justice system in the Northern Territory.

Nandyal Balaji Temple is a Vishnu temple located in Bilakalaguduru village of Nandyal district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The main deity of this temple is Venkateswara, an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.
The temple was designed by Sameep Padora and Associates (sP+a).
Architecture
The ziggurat archetype present in traditional Indian temples was adstracted in the Balaji temple at Nandyala. The temple is constructed of locally sourced black limestone. There is a reservoir adjacent to the temple within the temple premises. The reservoir supplies water to the groundwater table. Excess water from a nearby limestone quarry is pumped into the temple reservoir or cistern. Steps from the base of the temple lead down into the depths of the reservoir, allowing devotees to descend and climb in to or from the temple reservoir. The main structure of the temple—shrines of the Hindu deities Balaji and Varahaswamy—is drawn on the motifs of the Tirupathi temple of the same deity.

DPMS (Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services) Panther Arms is an American manufacturer headquartered in West Columbia, South Carolina, known for its wide range of military and civilian rifles and accessories.
History
Randy Luth founded Defense Procurement Manufacturing Services (DPMS) in 1985 in Osseo, Minnesota, as a precision machine shop for manufacturing M203, M14 and M16 parts for U.S. military contracts. In the later 1990s, the company employed 30 people selling Colt 1911 and AR-15 parts and accessories and moved the company to Becker, Minnesota. DPMS later began producing AR-15 style rifles.
DPMS moved to St. Cloud, Minnesota, in 2004. In 2007, the firm was named one of The Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal'''s "50 fastest-growing privately held companies". DPMS doubled its revenue between 2004–2007 and employed 65 people in 2008.
Freedom Group purchased DPMS Panther Arms on December 14, 2007, the same year it purchased Marlin Firearms. Freedom Group was a consortium of firearms manufacturers and was part of Cerberus Capital Management, a New York private equity investment firm. Cerberus combined DPMS with Bushmaster Firearms International, Remington Arms and Cobb Manufacturing to form the Freedom Group. Remington was the company's immediate corporate parent.
On December 20, 2012, Cerberus announced they were selling their Freedom Group brands, including DPMS, based on pressure from a California pension board.
DPMS was purchased by JJE Capital Holdings LLC on September 29, 2020, during the Remington bankruptcy proceedings.
Products
The company manufactures AR-15 style rifles chambered in Remington/5.56×45mm NATO and AR-10 style rifles chambered in Winchester and Remington, among others.
The company attracted attention within the firearms industry with its version of the AR-10, the Panther LR-308, earning Shooting Illustrated 2005 Golden Bullseye Award for "Rifle of the Year". In 2006, the Panther LR-308AP4 earned American Rifleman'' Golden Bullseye Award for "Rifle of the Year". In 2008, DPMS introduced the LR-338 chambered in the Federal cartridge.
Production relocation
DPMS's St. Cloud production facility with 115 employees was closed and production has been moved to Remington's new non-union facility in Huntsville, Alabama. Remington's Ilion, New York, production facility closed down two production lines for their Bushmaster-branded AR-15 style rifle and R-1 1911-pattern pistol, and moved them to Huntsville. In 2014, Remington moved production of two gun lines and 150 jobs from New York to Alabama because of New York state's gun laws which banned the sale of those products in the state, and consolidated its production from six locations into Huntsville in order to increase efficiency, and reduce production and labor costs. The six companies being relocated were: Advanced Armament Corp of Lawrenceville, Georgia; Montana Rifleman of Kalispell, Montana; TAPCO; LAR Manufacturing of West Jordan, Utah; Para USA (formerly Para-Ordnance); and DPMS.

The National Democratic Alliance (, , AND) is a centrist political party in Mauritania. It became the fifth largest political party of the country after the 2018 parliamentary elections. The AND backs the administration of Mohamed Ould Ghazouani and is part of the Coordination of Parties of the Majority.
As of 2023, the party has 6 seats in the National Assembly of Mauritania.
History
The party was created in January 2016 after Yacoub Ould Moine, ex-MP for the Rally of Democratic Forces (RFD), left the party and applied to register a new party called "Democratic Alliance" in December 2015, although the party got its current name when registered.
The party is considered to represent the Moine family and to have been created by Ould Moine due to the refusal of Ahmed Ould Daddah, leader of the RFD, of a dialogue with the government that doesn't have previously set conditions and in order to get closer to the administration of Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, although the party remained first as part of a "moderate opposition".
The party emphasizes the need for "national unity" and "social peace of the Nation" being untouchable lines and supports strengthening the country's institutions.
During the 2023 parliamentary elections, the AND party won 6 seats.

Epigenetics in insects is the role that epigenetics (hertiable characteristics that do not involve changes in DNA sequence) plays in insects.
Epigenetic mechanisms are regulatory mechanisms, which change expression levels of genes. Several mechanisms are considered epigenetic, including DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs. Epigenetic mechanisms play a role in processes like development, learning and memory formation, aging, diseases, cell differentiation and genome defence.
DNA methylation
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism. It is a chemical modification of the DNA where a methyl group is attached to cytosine. This modification is set by DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts). There are three known types of DNA methyltransferases in mammals. Those DNA methyltransferases are present in insects as well, although it varies between different species which specific Dnmt types are present. It still is a matter of discussion what the specific role of DNA methylation in insects is, as some insects such as Drosophila melanogaster just have traces of DNA methylation in their genome and in general insect genomes are much less methylated compared to mammalian genomes (0.034% vs. 7.6% in Mus musculus). In a comparison of different insect species and their respective methylation levels, there was a clear relationship between cell turn over and DNA methylation, but not between genome size or the number of repetitive sequences and DNA methylation.
In honeybees
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) possess homologs for all three DNA methyltransferases known in mammals. But unlike mammals they possess two DNA methyltransferases 1 and just one DNA methyltransferase 3. DNA methylation predominantly occurs in coding regions in honeybees. The function of the DNA methylation in honey bees is to regulate gene alternative splicing
Development
DNA methylation plays a major role in honeybee caste and subcaste development. In honeybees there are two different castes which are workers and queens. They are genetically the same, but show morphological, physiological and behavioral differences. Among the worker caste there are two subcastes, which are nurses and foragers. Which subcaste a worker bee belongs to depends on its age. The DNA methylation pattern in queens and workers, and between nurses and foragers is different. DNA methylation also increases in worker larvae with age, especially in coding regions and CpG islands. If DNA methyltransferase 3 is silenced in honeybee larvae they develop into queens, whereas they otherwise would develop into workers.
Associative learning
Using the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor zebularine, the role of DNA methyltransferases during learning and memory formation has been studied. If DNA methyltransferases are inhibited during an associative learning paradigm, in which the bee is trained to associate an odour with a food reward, the odour specific associative long-term memory of bees is impaired, as well as their extinction memory. Short-term memory formation and acquisition are not affected by DNA methyltransferase inhibition.
In fruitflies
The fruitfly D. melanogaster possess just one DNA methyltransferase, which is Dnmt 2-like. Dnmt 2 is not known to methylate DNA in mammals. In Drosophila however a knock down of Dnmt 2-like protein is sufficient to deplete DNA methylation completely and an overexpression of Dnmt 2 causes hypermethylation of the DNA. However, lines deficient for Dnmt 2 retain genomic methylation, implying the presence of a novel methyltransferase.

Peter Robert Enright, (born 18 January 1925 - died in Brisbane, Queensland on 14 August 2015 aged 90) was an Australian cricket Test match umpire.
He umpired three Test matches between 1972 and 1974. His first match was between Australia and Pakistan at Melbourne on 29 December 1972 to 3 January 1973, won by Australia by 92 runs with Ian Redpath, Greg Chappell, Paul Sheahan, and John Benaud all scoring centuries. Enright’s partner in this match was Jack Collins, also standing in his first Test match.
In the preceding season, 1971/72, a scheduled tour of Australia by South Africa was cancelled following political and moral protests against the apartheid policies of the South African government. In its place a ‘World Team’ visited Australia and played a series of Test standard, although never officially recognised. Enright stood in one of these matches, a rain-affected draw strongly in Australia’s favour.
Enright’s last Test match was between Australia and New Zealand at Adelaide on 26 January to 31 January 1974, a match that Australia won by an innings. Enright’s colleague was Jack Collins.
He was an inaugural umpire for World Series Cricket in 1977-78, along with Jack Collins, Col Hoy, Col Egar, Garry Duperouzal, and Douglas Sang Hue.
Until his death he was the oldest living test umpire in the world- a title then assumed by his good friend and umpiring colleague, Lou Rowan, just four months his junior.

Project Condign (not to be confused with the Condon Committee) was a secret unidentified flying object (UFO) study undertaken by the British Government's Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) between 1997 and 2000.
The results of Project Condign were compiled into a 400-page document titled Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region that drew on approximately 10,000 sightings and reports that had been gathered by the DI55, a section of the Directorate of Scientific and Technical Intelligence (DSTI) within the DIS.
It was released into the public domain on 15 May 2006 after a September 2005 Freedom of Information Act request by UFO researchers David Clarke, a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, and Gary Anthony, a former BUFORA astronomical consultant. The identity of the report's author/s was not made public.
Conclusions
UFOs
The report concluded that UFOs had an observable presence that was “indisputable”, but also that no evidence has been found to suggest they are "hostile or under any type of control". According to its author/s the majority of analyzed UFO sightings can be explained by the misidentification of common objects such as aircraft and balloons, while the remaining unexplainable reports were most likely the result of a supernormal meteorological phenomena not fully understood by modern science. This phenomenon is referred to in the report as "Buoyant Plasma Formation," akin to Ball Lightning, and is hypothesized to produce an unexplained energy field which creates the appearance of a Black Triangle by refracting light. The electromagnetic fields generated by plasma phenomena are also hypothesized to explain reports of close encounters due to inducing perceptual alterations or hallucinations in those affected. The Condign report suggests that further research into "novel military applications" of this plasma phenomenon is warranted, and that "the implications have already been briefed to the relevant MoD technology managers." The report also notes that scientists in the former Soviet Union have identified the close connection between the 'UFO Phenomena' and Plasma technologies," and are "pursuing related techniques for potential military purposes."
Close encounters
The report described people who believed themselves to have had close encounters as being convinced of what they said that they had seen or experienced, but also as not representing proof that such encounters were real. It attributed a number of cases to the “close proximity of plasma related fields” which it said could “adversely affect a vehicle or person".
Reaction
According to Clarke, the release of the documents did not shed any new light on UFOs or the UFO phenomenon, but did show that the DIS had been conducting a far larger investigation of the topic than it had previously revealed. Due to the secret nature of the report, it was apparently not subject to peer review, and it has been suggested that the "buoyant plasma" hypothesis would not have withstood independent scrutiny.

The Invisible Man's Revenge is a 1944 American horror film directed by Ford Beebe and written by Bertram Millhauser. The film stars John Carradine as a scientist who tests his experiment on a psychiatric hospital escapee, played by Jon Hall, who takes the invisibility serum and then goes on a crime spree. The film was announced on June 10, 1943, and began shooting on January 10, 1944 finishing in mid-February. On its release, reviews in The New York Herald-Tribune, The New York Daily News and The New York World-Telegram noted that the film series and its special effects became tired, while a review in The Hollywood Reporter declared it as one of the best in the series.
Although Hall’s character shares the name “Griffin” with characters in other Universal “invisible man” films, the film does not follow the continuity of the series.
Plot
After murdering two orderlies, Robert Griffin escapes from the Cape Town mental institution where he was committed, intent on revenge on the Herrick family. One night, Sir Jasper Herrick and his wife Lady Irene engage in inspecting the new boyfriend of their daughter Julie, journalist Mark Foster. Later, Julie and Mark leave the family residence, and Jasper and Irene are left alone. That is when Robert decides to pay the couple a visit. He enters the residence and accuses them of leaving him to die out injured in Africa, when they were on a safari together. The couple defends themselves, claiming they were told that he was dead and not injured, but Robert does not believe them. He demands they give him his share of the diamond fields they discovered together on the safari. Jasper tries to tell Robert that that property was lost in a series of bad investments. Robert refuses to give in, threatening to sue the Herricks, and to calm him down, they offer him a share in an estate, the Shortlands. His counter-proposal is that they should arrange for him to be married to Julie. After saying this, he is drugged by Lady Irene and passes out in their home. The Herricks realize that Robert has gone completely mad, and despite being frightened of what he could do to them if they do not obey him, they see no problem with stealing the agreement made or pushing him further along the path of insanity with their betrayal. They search Robert's clothes and find the written partnership agreement they all entered into some time ago. Taking the paper, they next throw Robert out of their house. Robert nearly drowns where he lies unconscious but is saved by Herbert Higgins, a local Cockney cobbler.
Herbert decides to use the information he gets from Robert to blackmail the Herricks. He is unsuccessful, as Jasper calls on chief constable Sir Frederick Travers. The chief constable declares Robert's claims as void and orders him to leave his jurisdiction. Robert leaves for London, but on his way he happens to come by the home of shady scientist Dr. Peter Drury. Drury is eager to find a suitable subject to test his new experimental formula on - a formula for invisibility. Robert asks that the doctor try it on him, and he agrees, not knowing that Robert wants to use this to get his revenge. Robert forces Jasper to sign over their entire estate to him. He also finds time to help his saviour Herbert win a game of darts at an inn. Jasper secretly agrees to give his daughter's hand in marriage to Robert - if he ever regains his visibility. Robert goes back to Drury's laboratory and witnesses how the doctor restores visibility to his dog Brutus, by giving him a blood transfusion. Robert knocks Drury unconscious, before performing a transfusion on himself, using the doctor's blood. The transfusion results in Drury's death, and to avoid capture, Robert sets the laboratory on fire and takes off just before the police arrive.
Robert changes his identity to "Martin Field" and moves in with the Herricks at the estate which he is now owner of. When Herbert finds out about Robert's return he makes a futile attempt to blackmail him too, and out of pity - and perhaps thankfulness - Robert pays the man one thousand pounds to get rid of him. Robert has one condition for paying the money: that Herbert kills Brutus, who has followed Robert back to the estate after the fire. Robert starts losing his visibility one day at the breakfast table, with Julie and her fiancé Mark present. He tricks Mark to follow him down into the wine cellar and knocks the man out, starting another transfusion with Mark's blood. Travers arrives at the estate after finding out about Robert's return. Aided by Herbert and Jasper, he breaks into the cellar just as the transfusion is about to be completed, in time to save Mark's life. Robert is then attacked by Brutus and killed.
Cast
Production
Universal first announced the plan for The Invisible Man's Revenge on June 10, 1943 with the hopes of having Claude Rains performing in the lead. Other cast members who were lined up for the film were Edgar Barrier who opted out of the production on January 6, after being disenchanted with the roles he had in films like Phantom of the Opera and Cobra Woman.
Jon Hall had also played an Invisible Man character for Universal in Invisible Agent (1942), two years before this film.
Prior to the first day of shooting the film, Universal's attorneys made a deal with H. G. Wells for the rights to make two more Invisible Man sequels between July 1943 and October 1951. Production on the film began on January 10, 1944 and continued for five weeks and three days finishing in mid-February. After this, John P. Fulton took over to complete the special effects sequences. The film's final cost was $314,790.
Release
The Invisible Man's Revenge was distributed theatrically by the Universal Pictures Company on June 9, 1944. The film's worldwide gross was $765,700. The film was released on DVD on as part of the "Invisible Man: The Legacy Collection" set, which included The Invisible Man, The Invisible Man Returns, The Invisible Woman and Invisible Agent. It was released again on blu ray as part of the "Invisible Man: The Complete Legacy Collection" on August 28, 2018.
Reception
From contemporary reviews, Howard Barnes of The New York Herald-Tribune found the film "singularly unexciting" finding John Fulton's special photography as "the most striking aspect of the picture [but] the tricks have been done too often before by the camera to make them particularly effective by themselves". Wanda Hale of The New York Daily News echoed this statement, finding that "the frightening creature [...] is no novelty" and that the film was "not the stimulating thriller that The Invisible Man was". A reviewer in The New York World-Telegram declared that "some of the earlier variations of H.G. Wells' invisible man idea were filmed with an idea that the story should make good sense. That policy has been abandoned this time" while still noting that Jon Hall was being "a much more effective actor than he has been in some of his recent adventures in gaudy Technicolor". Conversely, a reviewer from The Hollywood Reporter declared it as one "of the best and most entertaining of the series".
From retrospective reviews, the authors of the book Universal Horrors declared the film to be "the least ambitious but hardly the least entertaining of Universal's widely varying series" noting its "no frills approach to its subject matter", declaring it better than The Invisible Woman and Invisible Agent but not as strong as The Invisible Man or The Invisible Man Returns. Special effects in the film were described as "have a slapdash quality" with only a few pulling of "startlingly effective tricks".
Actor John Carradine, who loathed the horror films he worked in, was asked in the British fanzine House of Hammer if he liked any of the horror films he was in, and he responded he enjoyed The Invisible Man's Revenge.

NewJeans () is a South Korean girl group formed by ADOR. The group is composed of five members: Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein. NewJeans is known for their girl next door image and 1990s- and 2000s-indebted pop and R&B songs with influences of various dance and club styles.
NewJeans debuted on July 22, 2022, with the single "Attention", their first number-one song on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart. It was followed shortly afterwards by two other singles, "Hype Boy" and "Cookie". The singles were all featured on their eponymous debut extended play (EP), released in August 2022. In January 2023, they released their first single album, OMG, to commercial success. It was accompanied by two singles, "Ditto" and "OMG". "Ditto" gained widespread popularity, becoming the longest-running number-one song on the Circle Digital Chart and the group's first entry on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.
Their second EP, Get Up, peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 and sold over one million copies in South Korea. Its lead single, "Super Shy", became the group's highest-charting single on the Billboard Global 200 (number two), the US Billboard Hot 100, and the UK Singles Chart. NewJeans has received rookie awards and were featured in listicles such as Time Next Generation Leaders and Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40. Aside from music, NewJeans has sponsored and collaborated with several brands, including , Levi's, Coca-Cola, LG Electronics, Apple Inc., and McDonald's Korea.
Name
The group's name, NewJeans, is a double entendre. It alludes to the idea that jeans are a timeless fashion item and the group's intention to carve a timeless image for themselves. The name is also a word play on the phrase "new genes", referring to the group ushering a new generation of pop music.
History
2011–2022: Pre-debut activities and formation
Prior to debuting with NewJeans, several group members were involved in television, music and dance. When Australian-born Danielle Marsh lived in South Korea, she was a regular cast member of tvN's Rainbow Kindergarten, a variety show that aired until 2011. She also appeared in the TV shows Jesse's Play Kitchen and My Heart's Crayon. Hyein debuted as a member of the children's music group U.SSO Girl in November 2017 under the stage name U.Jeong, before departing from the group one year later. In December 2020, she joined the music group and YouTube collective Play With Me Club formed by PocketTV, and graduated from the group on May 3, 2021. Vietnamese-Australian Hanni Pham began performing in Melbourne as a member of the Aemina Dance Crew who covered the choreography of K-pop groups. Hanni and Minji made a guest appearance in BTS's 2021 music video for "Permission to Dance".
Preparations for a new girl group in collaboration between Big Hit Entertainment and Source Music began as early as 2019 under the direction of Min Hee-jin, who joined the company as CBO that same year and is widely recognized for her art direction as visual director at SM Entertainment. Global auditions took place between September and October 2019, and casting into the group commenced from the beginning of 2020. In late 2021, it was announced that the project moved to Hybe's newly established independent label ADOR, after Min was appointed the label's CEO. A second round of global auditions were held between December 2021 and January 2022, and the group's line-up was finalized in March 2022. Dubbed "Min Hee-jin's Girl Group" by several media outlets, the group was originally scheduled to launch in 2021 but was later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2022–present: Introduction, debut, and Get Up
On July 1, 2022, ADOR teased the launch of their new girl group by posting three animated videos of the numbers "22", "7" and "22", fueling speculation that content would be released on July 22. The group released the music video for their debut single, "Attention", on July 22 as a surprise release, without any prior promotion or information on the group's lineup. The move has been described by Billboard as "risky-but-ultimately invigorating", crediting its success to "an emphasis on the music before anything else". The video was followed by an announcement of their upcoming eponymous debut extended play, which would contain four tracks, including two additional singles. On July 23, the group's second single, "Hype Boy", was released alongside a clip revealing the names of the members, further accompanied by four other music videos for the song, specific to the members' perspectives. "Hype Boy" became the longest-running song on the Billboard Global 200 by a K-pop female act, charting for 35 weeks. A music video for their b-side "Hurt" was released two days later. Pre-orders for the EP surpassed 444,000 copies in three days.
On August 1, NewJeans digitally released their debut EP alongside its third single, "Cookie". The song was criticized by some reviewers, who thought the lyrics contained a sexual innuendo. ADOR denied the accusation and stated that the lyrics refer to "the paired idea of burning CDs and baking cookies, which share the same conceptual verb in Korean". The physical version of the EP was released on August 8 and sold over one million copies, becoming the best selling debut album by a K-pop female act in South Korea and the only debut album to achieve this since Circle Chart's establishment in 2011. The group made their broadcast debut on Mnet's M Countdown on August 4, performing all three singles.
NewJeans released "Ditto" on December 19, 2022, as the first single from their first single album, OMG. "Ditto" became the longest-running number-one song on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart, topping the chart for thirteen weeks. It was NewJeans' first entry on both the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 82, and the UK Singles Chart, charting at number 95. OMG was released on January 2, 2023. Reviewers commended the album for its retro-style theme. It debuted at number one on the Circle Album Chart, selling 700,000 copies in its first week of release. It became their first album to sell over one million copies, shortly before New Jeans also reached one million copies sold. OMG was accompanied by a second single of the same name, which went viral on TikTok. "OMG" peaked at number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their highest-ranked song on the chart. In April 2023, NewJeans released "Zero" in collaboration with Coca-Cola to promote Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. In May 2023, they released a second single, "Be Who You Are (Real Magic)", in collaboration with Coca-Cola alongside Jon Batiste, J.I.D and Camilo.
NewJeans held their first sold-out fan meeting, titled Bunnies Camp, at the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium on July 1–2, 2023. The group released their second EP, Get Up, on July 21, 2023. The EP debuted at number two on the Circle Album Chart and sold 1.65 million copies in its first week of release, becoming the group's third consecutive album to sell over one million copies. It was supported by three singles: "Super Shy", "ETA", and "Cool with You". "Super Shy" topped the Circle Digital Chart, earning NewJeans their third number-one single in South Korea, and became their best-performing track on several international charts. The commercial success of the track lead to NewJeans achieving their first number one on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart. All the tracks received music videos, which featured collaborations with multiple brands and personalities, including Apple Inc., The Powerpuff Girls, South Korean actress Hoyeon, and Hong Kong actor Tony Leung. In August 2023, they had their first live performance in the United States at Lollapalooza, becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform at the festival. NewJeans released a remake of Kim Jong-seo's "Beautiful Restriction" for the soundtrack of A Time Called You on September 1, 2023.
On September 26, 2023, League of Legends developer Riot Games announced that NewJeans would perform "Gods", the anthem for the 2023 League of Legends World Championship, set to be held in South Korea from October 10 to November 19.
Artistry
NewJeans' music spans genres such as R&B, electropop, and hip hop. It is characterized by mellow beats, atmospheric synthesizers, and live vocals. Their debut EP and first single album OMG are predominantly midtempo pop and R&B that evoke music of the 1990s and 2000s decades. There were comparisons to the sound of late-1990s K-pop girl groups. Music critics also identified elements of mid-2000s electronic and dance styles such as UK garage, Baltimore club, Jersey club, and moombahton. With their second EP Get Up, they ventured more into dance and club music with a more rhythmic production expanding on the group's UK garage-influenced past releases.
Some critics, such as Sheldon Pearce and Minsoo Joshua Kim writing for NPR, described NewJeans' music as soft, contained, and delicate, which is a stark contrast to their contemporaries' "maximalist" and "harsh, buzzing" sounds. Choi Eun-soo of the Hankook Ilbo characterized the group's sound as "easy listening" devoid of "explosive" EDM embellishments that had saturated the market. The Guardian Laura Snapes described their songs as "sleek and lethally hooky, yet playful and teeming with retro synths and experimental flourishes".
NewJeans' music is mainly produced by South Korean singers 250 and Park Jin-su (also known as FRNK), while the members often participate in songwriting. As the executive producer, Min Hee-jin selects all NewJeans' songs and is responsible for the recording process. Regarding the group's debut EP, Min said she "wanted to break the tacit formula of K-pop and make an album with the music I want". Min disliked "high-pitched parts, awkward raps that suddenly appear, and singing methods that feel uniform" and chose to record without guide vocals, allowing the members to develop their own singing styles. Pearce argued that NewJeans' frequent collaborations with certain producers brought forth a cohesive discography with distinct identity and aesthetic. Four of the members have been credited for songwriting at least once: Danielle for "Attention" and "Super Shy", Hanni for "OMG" and "Hype Boy", Minji for "Ditto" and Haerin for "New Jeans".

NewJeans has been called a "mega blue chip" in the advertising industry, earning an estimated total of billion by April 2023 according to Sports Chosun. The group represents fashion store , eyewear brand Carin, contact lens brand Olens, jewelry brand Stonehenge, and Levi's.

In February 2023, NewJeans became public relations ambassadors of the city of Seoul. They were appointed honorary ambassadors for the 2023 Seoul Fashion Week, promoting local brands such as Ulkin, Kanghyuk, and Kusikhoc.
NewJeans has modeled for SK Telecom's "0 (, Young)" campaign, promoting the iPhone 14 Pro, Shinhan Bank's "New Sol" campaign, endorsing the bank's mobile app Sol, 's advertisements for their 2024 0 Won Mega Pass, 5252 by OiOi's pictorial for their signature down jacket, McDonald's McSpicy chicken burger in South Korea, and Nike's campaigns "Feel Your All", endorsing their leggings, and "Maxxed Out", commemorating Air Max Day.

In collaboration with both Musinsa and LG Electronics, the group released a limited edition of the Gram laptop with gadgets inspired by NewJeans' concept. Outfits matching the laptop were available to customers who had made a reservation for LG Electronics' pop-up store which opened in Seoul in January 2023 to promote the product.
Philanthropy
In December 2022, it was announced that NewJeans and ADOR would annually donate part of the profits from the group's album sales to The Snail of Love charity to fund cochlear implant surgery and speech therapy treatment for the hearing-impaired. In February 2023, NewJeans and ADOR donated to the World Food Programme to help victims of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.
Impact and accolades
Following their debut, NewJeans won numerous rookie awards at the Golden Disc Awards, the Korean Music Awards, the Melon Music Awards, and the Seoul Music Awards, among others; with their 'Performance of the Year' win at the 2022 Asia Artist Awards, NewJeans became the fastest girl group to win a Daesang upon debut, achieving the feat in only 134 days. The group has been included in several listicles, including Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40 and 30 Under 30 – Asia (Entertainment & Sports), Time Next Generation Leaders, and Gold House A100 List. In 2023, NewJeans broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest K-pop act to reach one billion streams on Spotify. Writing for The Korea Times, music critic Kim Do-heon attributed NewJeans' success in part to their "carefree, laid-back, and natural" sound, while Tamar Herman wrote in Vogue that their music "immediately changed up the face of South Korea's pop idol scene".
NewJeans quickly established themselves in the fashion industry thanks to their girl-next-door image and international appeal. The Business of Fashion said they "became an overnight fashion favorite", while Vogue called them an "exciting and welcome addition" to the 2023 Seoul Fashion Week. Some fashion designers have named NewJeans among the influences for their collections: Bach Mai for his pre-fall 2023 collection and Yoon Ahn for the fall 2023 ready-to-wear collection of her brand Ambush. After partnering with NewJeans in 2022, Musinsa reported that sales in the women's fashion category doubled compared to the previous year. In 2023, NewJeans were listed as one of the 500 most influential people in the fashion industry by The Business of Fashion.

Nannocetus is an extinct baleen whale belonging to the family Cetotheriidae.
Description
Nannocetus is a diminutive mysticete measuring long. It is characterized by the ventral orientation (in posterior view) of the postglenoid process; postglenoid process twisted medially (in ventral view) relative to the anteroposterior axis of the skull; equal projection of the ventral and dorsal lobes of the tympanic than the dorsal lobe; deeper notch separating the two lobes of the tympanic; reniform morphology of the tympanic in ventral view; lip of the tympanic slightly inflated; sub-rectilinear medial edge of the involucrum with a step in its anterior third; anterior process of the petrosal sub-triangular; thin crista transversa of the petrosal; and pars cochlearis hemispherical.
Taxonomy and classification
The holotype is UCMP 26502. It was collected from the Late Miocene (Messinian) Towsley Formation of Humphreys, Los Angeles County, California. It has been traditionally assigned to Cetotheriidae since its description, a classification that still stands and has been vindicated by recent cladistic analyses of 'cetothere' relationships.

Microsynodontis laevigata is a species of upside-down catfish endemic to Gabon where it is found in the Ivindo River. It was first described in 2004 by Ng Heok Hee.
Taxonomy
Before 2004, the genus Microsynodontis was believed to contain only four species, Microsynodontis batesii, M. christyi, M. lamberti, and M. polli. However, when examining previously collected specimens from the lower Guinea region that had been identified as M. batesii, Dr. Ng discovered that the specimens actually consisted of nine distinct species, eight of them previously undescribed. He published the descriptions of the new species in 2004. M. laevigata is one of the new species that he described. Although the eight new species have been accepted by the scientific community, there is still some dispute among scientists as to whether the newly described species are actually separate species as the species are extremely difficult to tell apart.
Description
M. laevigata is a small fish, reaching a maximum standard length of . The mouth of the fish faces downward, with broad lips containing papilla. The fish has three pairs of barbels. The maxillary barbels are on located on the upper jaw, and two pairs of mandibular barbels are on the lower jaw. The front edges of the dorsal fins and the pectoral fins are hardened into stiff spines that can be locked into place. The body shape is cylindrical along its entire length.
M. laevigata can be distinguished from other members of the genus Microsynodontis by examining the pectoral spine, the shape of the caudal fin, and the length of the adipose fin. When viewed from above, the spines on the front edge of the pectoral spines are smooth, instead of serrated. The trailing edge of the caudal fin is straight, instead of forked or rounded. Only M. lamberti shares those characteristics. M. laevigata differs from M. lamberti by having an adipose fin that is about 33% to 35% of the standard length of the fish, instead of about 25% to 31% of the standard length.

Exocyst complex component 3-like 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EXOC3L2 gene.
The EXOC3L2 protein has been shown to interact with EXOC4 that is a component of the exocyst complex involved exocytosis and more specifically in the targeting of exocytic vesicles to the cell membrane.
The exocyst complex is important for several biological processes, such as the establishment of cell polarity and regulation of cell migration. The structure and functions of the exocyst complex are conserved from yeast to higher eukaryotes. Endothelial cells in blood vessels express high levels of EXOC3L2 that is required for proper VEGFR-2 signaling so that the endothelial cells can migrate towards the growth factor VEGF-A.
Model organisms
Model organisms have been used in the study of EXOC3L2 function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Exoc3l2tm1b(KOMP)Wtsi was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping

Captain Gallagher (died 1818) was an Irish highwayman who, as one of the later Irish Rapparees (guerrillas), led a bandit group in the hills of the Irish countryside, armed with a blunderbuss, of the day, during the late 18th and early 19th century.
Born in Bonniconlon, County Mayo he lived with his aunt in Derryronane, Swinford for much of his early life and was raised near the woods of Barnalyra. As he reached early adulthood, he and group of others began raiding mail coaches as well as wealthy landowners and travelers throughout eastern Mayo and parts of southern County Sligo and western County Roscommon.
His attacks on landowners were especially widely known and, in one reported incident, Gallagher and his men raided the home of an extremely unpopular landlord in Killasser and forced him to eat half a dozen eviction notices he had recently drawn up for nearly half a dozen tenant farmers before escaping with silver and other valuables.
Although successfully evading British patrols for some time, he was finally apprehended by authorities in the parish of Coolcarney (or possibly Attymass) near the foothills of the Ox Mountains while recovering from an illness at a friend's home during Christmas.
He had been informed on by a neighbour, whom Gallagher had formerly helped, and who sent a message of Gallagher's whereabouts to the British commanding officer at Foxford, who immediately sent for reinforcements from Ballina, Castlebar and Swinford. A force of 200 redcoats was sent after Gallagher and, upon arrival, proceeded to surround the home where the highwayman was staying. Gallagher, by then in poor health and not wishing to endanger his host nor his family, surrendered to the British. Taken back to Foxford, he was tried and convicted before being taken to Castlebar where he was executed.
Shortly before his execution, he had claimed to the British commanding officer that his treasure had been hidden under a rock in the woods of Barnalyra. After Gallagher's execution, the officer quickly led several cavalrymen to Barnalyra and discovered that there were thousands of rocks in the wood; after a long search of all the rocks within the area they reportedly only recovered a jewel-hilted sword. It has been speculated that Gallagher may have been hoping to lead them to the site in the hopes his men would be able to rescue him from their hideout near the Derryronane-Curryane border, although the treasure, if he owned more than the sword, was never recovered.

The Hewlett-Packard series 80 of small scientific desktop computers was introduced in 1980, beginning with the popular HP-85 targeted at engineering and control applications. They provided the capability of the HP 9800 series desktop computers with an integrated monitor in a smaller package including storage and printer, at half the price.
Features
The first model of the Series 80 was the HP-85, introduced in January 1980. BYTE wrote "we were impressed with the performance ... the graphics alone make this an attractive, albeit not inexpensive, alternate to existing small systems on the market ... it is our guess that many personal computer experimenters and hackers will want this machine."
In a typewriter-style desktop case, the HP-85 contains the CPU and keyboard, with a ROM-based operating system (like the 9800 series), 16 KB dynamic RAM, a 5-inch CRT screen (16 lines of 32 characters, or 256×192 pixels), a tape drive for DC-100 cartridges ( capacity, transfer), and a thermal printer. Both the screen and printer display graphics in addition to text, and the printer can copy anything shown on the screen. The chassis includes four module slots in the back for expansion which can hold memory modules, ROM extensions, or interfaces such as RS-232 and GPIB.
All components were designed at the Hewlett-Packard Personal Computer Division in Corvallis, Oregon, including the processor and core chipset.
Later models offered variations such as different or external displays, built-in interfaces or a rack-mountable enclosure (see table below for details).
The machines were built around an HP-proprietary CPU code-named Capricorn running at and had a BASIC interpreter in ROM (). Programs could be stored on DC-100 cartridge tapes or on external disk/tape units.
Despite the comparatively low processor clock frequency, the machines were quite advanced compared to other desktop computers of the time, in particular regarding software features relevant to technical and scientific use. The standard number representation was a floating point format with a 12-digit (decimal) mantissa and exponents up to ±499. The interpreter supported a full set of scientific functions (trigonometric functions, logarithm etc.) at this accuracy. The language supported two-dimensional arrays, and a ROM extension made high-level functions such as matrix multiplication and inversion available.
For the larger HP-86 and HP-87 series, HP also offered a plug-in CP/M processor card with a separate Zilog Z80 processor.
Historical context
The late 1970s saw the development of inexpensive home computers such as the Apple II and TRS-80. Steve Wozniak, while working at HP, had developed the Apple computer in his spare time, with the idea of a computer that worked in BASIC when it was turned on. He offered HP rights to the Apple computer, but was turned down and was given a legal release. In an interview he did note that soon after that, the calculator division was starting an 8-bit computer project called Capricorn, and he wasn't allowed to work on that project. Ultimately, the market for desktop computing would go to IBM PC compatible personal computers with a floppy disk drive based operating system, and an industry standard Intel 8088 processor (the IBM PC was announced shortly after the 80 series).

Duncan Alasdair Lunan, born October 1945, is a Scottish author with emphasis on astronomy, spaceflight and science fiction, undertaking a wide range of writing and speaking on those and other topics as a researcher, tutor, critic, editor, lecturer and broadcaster. He is known for his science writings as well as for his work on the Sighthill stone circle.
His 1970s report of a possible space probe orbiting around the Moon sent by the inhabitants of a planet orbiting Epsilon Boötis brought him to international notice.
Background
Lunan, who grew up in Troon, claims descent from an illegitimate son of King Robert II of Scotland, Alexander Stuart, who owned the "Lands of Lunaine" near Aberdeen, and, more distantly, from the astronomers of ancient Chaldea "who invented the calendar, hence making agriculture and civilisation possible". On his mother's side, he traces his ancestry back to the Mitochondrial Eve. In June 1959 he traveled to South Uist in the Hebrides to witness the test launch of an American MGM-5 Corporal, which the British Army had purchased as the nation's first nuclear missile. The 13-year-old student watched the launch with senior NATO military leaders, but at home he was interrogated by the Scottish Office, MI5, Army Intelligence, and the CIA to attempt to determine how he had entered the secret launch site, which the Soviets had put under surveillance.
Lunan was a founder of ASTRA. He is a 1968 bachelor's degree alumnus of the University of Glasgow, is an M.A. with honours in English and philosophy and has a postgraduate Diploma in Education. He was the manager of the Glasgow Parks Department's Astronomy Project responsible for building the Sighthill stone circle, the first astronomically aligned megalith built in Britain in 3,000 years.
Lunan was also a founder and is still a member of the Glasgow Science Fiction Writers' Circle.
He has also served with committee activities on the Argyle Local Housing Association, which is linked to the GHA, including serving as chairman from 2002 to 2006.
Despite his 1970s report of a possible space probe of extraterrestrial origins orbiting around the Moon, he insists that he "doesn't believe in UFOs".
His interests include "ancient and mediaeval history, jazz, folk music and hillwalking".
Alien message
In a 1973 article in Spaceflight, a magazine published by the British Interplanetary Society (BIS), he said he had identified and deciphered a hidden radio message sent by an alien space probe that had been caught but overlooked in the late 1920s by a collaboration of Norwegian and Dutch researchers who were studying the long delayed echo effect. Published along with an accompanying editorial disclaimer, Lunan maintained that the putative message came from an object at the L5 point in the same orbit as the Moon, sent by the inhabitants of a planet orbiting Epsilon Boötis.
He came to the conclusion that the message was, "Start here. Our home is Upsilon Bootes, which is a double star. We live on the sixth planet of seven, coming from the sun, which is the larger of the two. Our sixth planet has one moon. Our fourth planet has three. Our first and third planets each have one. Our probe is in the position of Arcturus, known in our maps."
The claim was reported in Time and the CBS Evening News. It was included in Rod Serling's 1975 TV documentary In Search of Ancient Mysteries and, many years later, on George Noory's Coast to Coast AM radio show. The alleged message has been refuted and in 1976 Lunan withdrew the theory, presenting proofs against it and clarifying what had led him to formulate it. However, in 1998 he re-interpreted part of it, claiming support from positional astronomy.
The theory was part of the inspiration of Mark Brandis' 1974 novel Raumsonde Epsilon (in English Spaceprobe Epsilon).
Professional associations
Astronomy
He joined the Scottish branch of the BIS (British Interplanetary Society) in 1962. He was on the committee which drew up the constitution of ASTRA (Association in Scotland to Research into Astronautics) as an independent society in 1963, and redrafted it as the "Memorandum and Articles of a Company Limited by Guarantee" in 1974. He has been a council member since December 1963 with only two short breaks, and has been treasurer, president, vice-president, treasurer, president, secretary, president, treasurer and secretary again during that time. He was re-elected vice president in May 2010. He has been exhibition organiser and on the publications committee since 1970, editing ASTRA's publications in 1982 and between 1992 and 1996. Among many ASTRA conferences he organised one on archaeoastronomy at the Third Eye Centre in 1978 and "Heresies in Archaeoastronomy" at the Edinburgh International Science Festival in 1996.
Lunan and ASTRA have been at the forefront of the proposal of using a waverider for re-entry of spacecraft in the Earth's atmosphere.
In 1978 and 1979 he was manager of the Glasgow Parks Department's Astronomy Project.
He was acting curator of Airdrie Public Observatory in 1979 and 1980 and was assistant curator between 1987 and 1997, becoming a curator again in 2002 and continuing to 2008. ASTRA ceased to run the observatory for North Lanarkshire District Council in May 2009, ceding the running of the observatory to the Airdrie Astronomical Association (A.A.A). In 2006 and 2007 Lunan ran astronomy education projects funded by the National Lottery's Awards for All, with outreach to schools and community groups, followed by a larger project funded by Heritage Lottery for 2007 and 2008. His monthly astronomy column "The Sky above You" has appeared in various newspapers and magazines.
He resigned from ASTRA in 2011.
He is also an honorary member of the Clydesdale Astronomical Society.
He has been a director of the Space Settlers' Society, a space-politics society founded by Andy Nimmo in 1980.
Along with his wife Linda, Duncan Lunan is running the Astronomers of the Future club for beginners who are keen to find out more about astronomy and space, for which he holds regular talks.
Duncan and Linda Lunan are in discussions about the possibility of helping create a public observatory on the Falkland Islands, with support from the British Antarctic Survey.
Teaching and tutoring
In 1986, he contributed to the launch of the Glasgow Science Fiction Writers Circle by agreeing to run the first of six science fiction and fantasy short story competitions for the Glasgow Herald and to teach the first of six science fiction writing classes at the Glasgow University's Extra-Mural Department, later the Department of Adult and Continuing Education. He is still an active member of the Circle and took part to its spin-off spoken word project Word Dogs.
Sighthill stone circle
As Manager of the Glasgow Parks Department's Astronomy Project in 1978–79, Duncan Lunan supervised the building of the first astronomically aligned stone circle in Britain in 3,000 years in Sighthill Park.
The conceptual inspiration for the circle came from Lunan's interest in the works of Professor Alexander Thom and his son Dr. Archie Thom, who promoted the understanding of megalithic astronomy, and the subsequent expansion of their work by Dr. Ewan McKie and Professor Archie Roy. The location of the stone circle, on a low hilltop between tower blocks, the M8 motorway and an incinerator, at a first sight seems hardly ideal. However, Lunan has written that the clear sightline to the sky and a fine view of the city centre met the project's objectives. Lunan has written that "In later research, I found that summer solstice fairs had been held on the Summerhill, from which the midsummer Sun rises over the true Sighthill, until they were stopped by the church in the 17th century".
Once he had identified the best location, Lunan organised the transportation of the stones by a helicopter from HMS Gannet. The Moon Stones, being too heavy, had to be transported by specially adapted lorries.
The project was not completed due to criticism by the incoming Thatcher government in 1979, and four stones – two of which were intended to mark equinoctial sunrise and sunset, east and west – are still lying under a bush in Sighthill park. Lunan is at present campaigning to have the circle renovated and completed, including plans for wheelchair access. The first initiative undertaken to draw attention to the megalith was a summer solstice gathering organised at the site on the evening of 21 June 2010 preceded by a presentation on the circle given by Lunan. Lunan reported "positive discussions with Heritage Lottery chiefs in relation to funding for the project, estimated at around 30,000 GBP".
Lunan presented plans to make the stone circle a key feature of a citywide astronomy map, including the entire Solar System represented on the correct scale within the city limits as first proposed by Gavin Roberts, who was the arts and photographic supervisor on the original Project. If the stone circle represented the Sun, Lunan said, Saturn would be by the River Clyde near the Glasgow Science Centre, Jupiter in the campus of the University of Strathclyde, Uranus on Maryhill Road and Neptune and the dwarf planet Pluto at Cathkin Braes, south of Castlemilk.
The history of the stone circle was featured in the BBC Radio Scotland show Out of Doors in January 2011.
In 2011, Duncan Lunan and his wife Linda founded the Friends of the Sighthill Stone Circle association.
Publications
His non-fiction books include Man and the Stars (published in the United States with the titles Interstellar Contact and The Mysterious Signals from Outer Space and translated into French by Jean Sendy as À l'écoute des galaxies and into Spanish by David Molinet as A la escucha de las estrellas), New Worlds for Old, Man and the Planets and Children from the Sky.
He was a science fiction critic for the Glasgow Herald between 1971 and 1985, and ran the paper's science fiction and fantasy short story competitions between 1986 and 2002, edited Starfield, Science Fiction by Scottish Writers for Orkney Press in 1989, to which he also contributed with a short story, "The Square Fella". He also contributed two stories, "'Tirra Lirra' by the River, Sang Sir Lancelot" and "Landscape Modification in the Vicinity of Highgate Cemetery", to the 1988 Drabble Project of the Science Fiction society of the University of Birmingham and published by Beccon. He also contributed reviews to Interzone.
He lists amongst his inspirations Percy F. Westerman, Arthur Ransome, Nicholas Monsarrat, Arthur C. Clarke, Patrick Moore, G. K. Chesterton and C. S. Lewis.
A short story, "The Comet, the Cairn and the Capsule", was included in the 1979 short story collection The Science Fictional Solar System edited by Isaac Asimov, Charles G. Waugh and Martin H. Greenberg.
Some filk songs he wrote have been published in an anthology.
Green children of Woolpit
In a 1996 Analog Science Fiction and Fact article, Lunan speculated that the Green children of Woolpit were mistakenly transported to Earth due to malfunction in a matter transmitter. He also claimed that he can trace the Green Girl's descendants to the present.
Taking a lead from Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy, he suggests that the children were accidentally returned from a settlement of humans established by extraterrestrials on an earthlike world with a trapped synchronous orbit rotation with unusual genetically modified vegetation, which would allegedly explain their unusual skin colour.
He presented his theory on 9 November 2011 episode of Ground Zero Live conducted by Clyde Lewis.
In 2012 Lunan published Children from the Sky, a study of the green children and the documentation related to them, illustrated by Sydney Jordan.
