Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism.
He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Biography
The son of German-born American sculptor Julius Theodore Melchers, Gari Melchers was a native of Detroit, Michigan, who at seventeen studied art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under von Gebhardt and is associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. After three years went to Paris, where he worked at the Académie Julian, and the Ecole des Beaux Arts, where he studied under Lefebvre and Boulanger. Attracted by the pictorial side of Holland, he settled at Egmond. In 1882, Melchers presented The Letter, painted the previous year in Brittany, at the Paris Salon; this first presentation by a young artist was well received. In 1884, he founded an art colony at Egmond aan Zee in the Netherlands with American artist George Hitchcock. His first important Dutch picture, The Sermon, brought him favorable attention at the Paris Salon of 1886.
He became a member of the National Academy of Design, New York; the Royal Academy of Berlin; Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, Paris; International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers, London, and the Secession Society, Munich; and, besides receiving a number of medals, his decorations include the Legion of Honor, France; the order of the Red Eagle, Germany; and knight of the Order of St Michael, Bavaria. In 1889, he and John Singer Sargent became the first American painters to win a Grand Prize at the Paris Universal Exposition. His paintings from the World Columbian Exposition (1893) held in Chicago are now in the Library at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
In 1903, he married Corinne Lawton Mackall, a Baltimore painter born in 1880, who studied at the Maryland Institute Practical School for the Mechanic Arts and at the Académie Colarossi. Mackall was 20 years younger than her husband and often modeled for her husband.
In 1904, he was named an Officer in the French Legion of Honor. In 1909, he was appointed Professor of Art at the Grand Ducal Saxony School of Art in Weimar, Germany. In 1915, he returned to New York City to open a studio at Abraham Archibald Anderson's Bryant Park Studios building. From 1920 to 1928, he served as the president of the New Society of Artists. He was a member of the Virginia Fine Arts Commission and a trustee of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. He served as chairman of the Art Committee of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Throughout his career, whether abroad or in his commercial headquarters in New York City or his country retreat at Belmont in Falmouth, Virginia, the artist maintained a fascination with northern light.
He spent his final years at Belmont Estate in Falmouth, Virginia, near Fredericksburg.
He died there on November 30, 1932.
Works
Besides portraits, his chief works are: The Supper at Emmaus, in the Krupp collection at Essen; The Family, National Gallery, Berlin; Mother and Child, Luxembourg; and the decoration, at the Library of Congress, Washington, Peace and War. The artist was also commissioned by Charles Lang Freer to paint the portrait of President Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most notable public figures he painted during his prolific career.
The panels Peace and War were commissioned for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago of 1893.
He completed a set for three murals in 1921 for the Detroit Public Library, depicting the history of Detroit. Here's the story backstory of that project. He subsequently was commissioned to paint four murals of notable Missourians (Eugene Field, Mark Twain, Major James Rollins, and Susan Blow) for the Governor's office in the Missouri State Capitol. His work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
His painting Winter was stolen in Germany by the Nazis in 1933 and discovered at the Arkell Museum in Canajoharie, New York in 2019.
Gari Melchers Home & Studio holds the largest collection of Melchers’ art — 1,677 paintings and drawings. An amazingly prolific artist, Melchers’ paintings are also in museum collections worldwide.
Museum
The 18th-century Belmont estate was the country home and studio of prominent portraitist, muralist, and American Impressionist painter Gari Melchers (1860-1932). The house contains Gari and Corinne Melchers’ original furnishings and personal art collection, the studio houses over 1600 works by Melchers, and the 27-acre grounds feature restored formal gardens and miles of walking trails. The site, Gari Melchers Home & Studio, is now an American Association of Museums' Accredited museum and cultural center.
The mission of Gari Melchers Home and Studio is to display to the public on a regular basis the art works and furnishings that make up the Belmont collections; to maintain and preserve the collections and physical facilities of the estate in order that they will be available to the public for use by this and future generations; and to interpret the collections in a manner that will serve local educational institutions and the general public as a resource for studying the full range of works of a major American artist together with the tools of his trade in the locale in which he worked. The purpose of Gari Melchers Home and Studio is also to serve as an art center for the people of the Fredericksburg area.

Guttannen is a municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
Origin of the name
Guttannen is the name of a meadow, which became the name of the municipality. It comes from the phrase ze den guoten tannen (by the good firs).
History
Guttannen is first mentioned in 1377 as Guotentannon.
During the Middle Ages it was part of the Vogtei of Hasli and the parish of Meiringen. In 1334 the entire Vogtei was acquired by Bern. A chapel was built in the village in 1467 though it did not have a baptismal font. When the entire Canton accepted the new faith of the Protestant Reformation, the chapel was converted and remained under Meiringen. In 1713 it joined the parish of Innertkirchen where it remained until it became an independent parish in 1816. The old chapel was damaged in a fire in 1723 and replaced with a new chapel which became a parish church when Guttannen became a parish. Following the 1798 French invasion, Guttannen became part of the Helvetic Republic Canton of Oberland. With the 1803 Act of Mediation it returned to the Canton of Bern and the Oberhasli district.
For most of its history the villagers lived from farming on the valley floor, seasonal alpine herding and trade over the Grimsel Pass. Due to the short growing season and poor soil many residents mined lead or zinc or carved wood or soapstone. Many residents emigrated to escape the poverty. In the 17th and 18th centuries they went to Germany or the Swiss Plateau, while in the late 18th and 19th centuries they went to the United States and settled in the Carolinas, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
In the early 19th century mountain climbers began to come to Guttannen to explore the high peaks above the valley. In 1811-12 the Finstaarhorn was climbed and by the 1830s Louis Agassiz had popularized mountain climbing and trained guides in Guttanen. The Grimsel Pass road (built 1894-95) further opened up the village to trade and tourism. The construction of five hydroelectric dams and six reservoirs in the Grimsel Pass, between 1925 and 1975, brought prosperity to the village. The Kraftwerke Oberhasli (KWO) company was founded in 1925 to manage the power plants and today is the largest employer in Guttannen. A modern road was built over the pass over a 26-year period (1960-1986).

Hoodoo is a ski resort in the northwest United States, in the central Cascade Range of Oregon. Located near the summit of Santiam Pass on U.S. Route 20, the ski area operates on federal land through agreement with Willamette National Forest on Hoodoo Butte, a volcanic cinder cone. Hoodoo's slopes primarily face northeast.
History
The ski area was built in 1938, by a group funded by Ed Thurston of Bend. The group wanted to build on Three Fingered Jack but could not secure funding for a road. Following World War II, the ski area embarked on improvements, including lodging and chairlifts.
Its three-story main lodge at the base was built in the late 1940s from World War II surplus structures and included sleeping quarters for 100 guests. It was threatened by a forest fire in the summer of 1967, but was spared by the use of back fires. An antiquated chairlift, with wooden towers, was destroyed. Less than a year later and unoccupied at the time except for a family dog, the lodge was destroyed by fire in April 1968. A new two-story day lodge was constructed later in the year, and the use of pickup campers became popular at the Hoodoo parking lot. In the 1960s, the ski area was purchased by Hoodoo Ski Bowl Developers, Inc., which later built the Manzanita chair lift.
In the fall of 1985, the ski area took over the management of historic Santiam Lodge, which was built in 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Formerly operated by the United Presbyterian Church, it provided dormitory-style lodging for up to 80 guests.
In 1999, Hoodoo Ski Area was acquired by real estate developer and Umbrella Properties owner Chuck Shepard of Since then, Hoodoo has built the Hodag chair lift, a lodge, the Autobahn Tubing Park, and replaced the green and red double chair lifts with quad chair lifts.
Skiing
Hoodoo has a full service lodge. Hoodoo's flagship Green lift—a fixed grip quad chair—services the entire hill providing access to all and of vertical. Green is a 2001 replacement for the old double chair. The Ed chair, named after Hoodoo's founder, Ed Thurston, replaced the aging Red lift in 2001. The Manzanita triple chair serves the bowl, terrain park, and is open for night skiing. The Hodag lift was built in 1999 and services the backside terrain. The beginner area consists of a double chair (named Easy Rider) and is isolated from other terrain. Hoodoo also has a large selection of Nordic Skiing trails, both at high and lower altitudes.
The tube hill, called the Autobahn Tubing Park, is on the northwest flanks of Hayrick Butte. The long runs are serviced by a handle tow. Hayrick Butte has a handle tow servicing the long tube lanes.
Hoodoo offers RV camping on the south side of the parking lot.

The Barbar Temple is an archaeological site located in the village of Barbar, Bahrain, considered to be part of the Dilmun culture. The most recent of the three Barbar temples was rediscovered by a Danish archaeological team in 1954. A further two temples were discovered on the site with the oldest dating back to 3000 BC. The temples were built of limestone blocks, believed to have been carved out from Jidda Island.
History
The three temples were built atop one another with the second built approximately 500 years later and the third added between 2100 BC and 2000 BC.
It is thought that the temples were constructed to worship the god Enki, the god of wisdom and freshwater, and his wife Nankhur Sak (Ninhursag). The temple contains two altars and a natural water spring that is thought to have held spiritual significance for the worshipers. During the excavation of the site many tools, weapons, pottery and small pieces of gold were found which are now on display in the Bahrain National Museum. The most famous find was a copper bull's head.
The site is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Archaeology
The site was discovered by P.V. Glob in 1954. Excavations, by a Danish team
led by Hellmuth Andersen and Peder Mortensen, began that year and
extended until 1962.
The summit of a gravel mound was removed in the winter of 1955 and walls were excavated in February and March 1956.
Work at the site resumed in 2004.
Temple I
Temple I, the earliest temple was built on a rectangular platform approximately 25m long and 16 to 18m wide. This was originally constructed on a bed of clean sand, which appears to have been consolidated by a layer of blue clay. The temple was covered by a second layer of clean sand.
At the foundation of Temple I offerings were deposited in the clay core of the temple terrace and they consisted of dozens of clay goblets found in separate groups each containing seven beakers which were broken and buried within the foundations of the terrace. Also copper objects were deposited in small heaps or singly. In the south-western corner of this early temple, steps led down to a square-built well. The central terrace was preserved in its full height, 2 metres, with the remains of trapezoid shrine in the center and adjoining rooms. This first one was built from local Bahraini stone. The cult features the subterranean shrine, the temple well and the oval sacrificial court.
Temple II
Temple II is most liveable still with retaining walls and terraces stiffs, first stage the oval terrace was built in local stone, but after an enlargement it was built in limestone which must have been carried by boat from nearby Jidda island where stone was hewn out by hand and carefully dressed into remarkably neat masonry blocks. The skill with which this task was carried out may be clearly seen in the temple walls and especially around the sacred well. A double circular altar and an offering table stood in the center of the shrine. To the south were three cult stones shaped like the anchors of the merchant ships. Although the central one bore a protruding animal head, like the altars depicted on the seals. A temple treasure lay in the stone frame pit in the north-east comer. The central terrace was crowned by a shrine built of cut stone with stone paving. Smaller buildings clustered around it covering the rest of the terrace. There were no buildings on the outer oval terrace but altars and cult symbols were visible. A plinth with recessed stone cylinder lay to the south and a plinth with three pillars was situated near the north-west wall. A double row of plinths for cult objects lined both sides of the stairs from the upper terrace. On each of these plinths were two square holes lined with bitumen and sheet copper nailed to wood. Here may have stood copper mounted poles with the emblems of gods, so often seen on the stamp seals, or, perhaps, wooden statues. From the central terrace a ceremonial stairway led to the subterranean shrine where water cult ceremonies took place. Halfway down the stair was a portal, and from there the stair was roofed. The rich natural spring which filled the pool probably accounts for the siting of the temple at Barbar. Water poured from a perforated stone jar beside a semicircular stone font at the threshold of a dry chamber near the basin. From the comers of the shrine deep stone built channels led the water to the surrounding fields and gardens.
This remarkable underground shrine is interpreted as a symbolic , the abode of Enki, the god of wisdom and of all freshwater. The was believed to be the abyss or freshwater ocean upon which the whole world rests. Such temple are mentioned in cuneiform texts in Mesopotamia. East of the temple lay an oval sacrificial court, connected with a central temple platform by a paved ramp and a staircase. The floor of the court was covered with ashes and the bones of cattle and sheep, presumably sacrificed animals.
Temple III
Temple III in use until the early centuries of the second millennium, was larger than its predecessors. Two circular offering tables of finely cut stone with a low altar between them still stand in the middle of the courtyard. Note the three standing stone blocks pierced with a round hold. It is thought that these were tethering points for the sacrificial animals. The third temple's terrace was probably about .

Child, Youth and Family (CYF; in Māori, Te Tari Awhina i te Tamaiti, te Rangatahi, tae atu ki te Whānau), was the government agency that had legal powers to intervene to protect and help children who are being abused or neglected or who have problem behaviour until it was replaced by a new Ministry for Vulnerable Children in April 2017. CYF worked with the Police and the Courts in dealing with young offenders under the youth justice system. It provided residential and care services for children in need of care and protection and for young offenders. CYF assessed people who wished to adopt children and it reported to the Family Court on adoption applications. CYF facilitated the exchange of identifying information for parties to past adoptions. The agency also funded community organisations working with children, young people and their families to support the community's role in protecting and helping children.
History
Child, Youth and Family had its origins in the Child Welfare Division of the Department of Education. On 1 April 1972, the division was merged with the Social Security Department to form the Department of Social Welfare. That department was reorganised on 1 May 1992 into business units, including the New Zealand Children and Young Persons Service (CYPS), which was subsequently renamed the Children, Young Persons and their Families Agency (CYPFA), to align its name with the legislation it was administering. On 1 October 1999 it was established as a separate Department of Child, Youth and Family Services (CYFS). Then, on 1 July 2006, it was amalgamated back into the Ministry of Social Development as a business unit under the name Child, Youth and Family (CYF).
Child, Youth and Family became a functional unit of the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), following the 2006 merger of the Department of Child, Youth and Family Services (CYFS) and MSD. Until April 2017, CYF fell under the portfolio of the Minister for Social Development. In April 2017, after the passage of enacting legislation, CYF was replaced by the Ministry for Vulnerable Children (now Oranga Tamariki – Ministry for Children).
Legislation
MSD administered, or was involved in administering, the following CYF-related legislation:
Adoption Act 1955,
Adult Adoption Information Act 1985,
Adoption (Intercountry) Act 1997,
Care of Children Act 2004,
Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989,
Disabled Persons Community Welfare Act 1975,
Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988.
Responsibilities
Protecting children and young people who were at risk of or who had been abused or neglected, or who were at risk of offending, was the service's primary responsibility, and it carried out investigations when a child or young person was believed to be "at risk". Where there was a risk of serious harm, it could exercise powers to ensure that the child was kept safe from that risk. The department also dealt with youth justice, a section of the law that dealt mainly with offending by young people aged 14–16 years, and adoption through the Adoption Information and Services Unit (AISU).
In addition, the department provided residential and care services for children and young people who required placing away from their parents, guardians or usual caregivers, and funded a wide range of community-based social services, with a focus on children, young people and families in need of support.
CYFS Watch blog
In January 2007, a controversial blog "CYFS Watch" appeared on Google's Blogger. The blog's stated aim was unveiling examples of alleged incompetence by the Child Youth and Family Service and published the personal details of several CYFS social workers. The Ministry responded by complaining to Google. In late February, the blog's anonymous author made death threats towards Green MP Sue Bradford as a result of her Crimes (Abolition of Force as a Justification for Child Discipline) Amendment Bill 2005. Google responded on 22 February 2007 by deleting the site as a breach of their terms of service.

The Deusto Bridge () is a bascule bridge over the estuary of Bilbao. This bridge connects the districts of Abando and Deusto.
History
The bridge was inaugurated In December 1936, it had been commissioned to the engineers and in 1931. The bridge was built to connect the historic center of Bilbao with the newly incorporated districts of Deusto, Begoña. and Abando over the estuary.
The Deusto Bridge and the City Hall Bridge were designed similarly to those in Chicago to ensure the passage of ships. During the mayoralty of Federico Moyúa, architect Ricardo Bastida was tasked with the construction of the bridges. Bastida studied cantilever and tilt bridges in Chicago and chose the Michigan Avenue Bridge as reference.
Engineers Ignacio de Rotaeche and José Ortiz de Artiñano together with architect Ricardo Bastida signed the initial project in January 1930. This project was approved on 23 July 1931 and construction began a year later. The bridge was inaugurated on December 7 and finished on 12 December 1936, after four years of work and two modifications.
The bridge was destroyed on 18 June 1937 during the Spanish Civil War and was rebuilt between 1938 and 1939 by the Francoist authorities. It reopened on 25 October 1939 under the name of Generalissimo Bridge (referring to Francisco Franco) during the mayoralty of José María Oriol Urquijo. It returned to its original name in 1979.
Until 1992, stable traffic of ships was maintained, which made it necessary to open the bridge. Its last commercial opening was on 4 May 1995, which made way for a ship of the shipping company Pinillos. The construction of the , with a clearance lower than that of the Deusto Bridge, prevented the passage of larger boats and made it unnecessary to open the bridge. The welding and definitive immobilization of the bridge were considered, and it was decided to keep the bridge active so that it could be opened for commemorations and festivities. The last opening was held in March 2008, which made way for the 28th edition of the rowing competition.
In October 2008, the Bilbao City Council published its plan for a comprehensive restoration. The works, scheduled for the following year, were aimed at comprehensive sanitation, fine-tuning of the lifting machinery and installation of a new lighting system, as well as a change in the corresponding pedestrian pathway. In the study prior to the restoration, it was detected that the railing, designed by Ricardo Bastida, deteriorated poorly. The council opted for the restoration and replacement of the railing, which required replicas of it to be made. The replacement has been made with identical elements made of stainless steel. The color is altered, from green to silver, and the handrail now houses a LED lighting system. The pavement of the bridge has been asphalted with a mixture of resin-based and aggregates in a pinkish tone, which ruled out the imitation of wood originally planned.
Characteristics & specifications
The total length of the bridge is with a span of , it narrows the channel of the estuary, which is approximately with concrete buildings on each side, where the lifting mechanism is located. The clearance at high tide is . The bridge tilt until reaching a horizontal angle of 70º.

Levant is a town in Penobscot County, Maine, United States. The population was 2,970 at the 2020 census.
History
Originally called Kenduskeag Plantation, the town was founded in 1802 by Major Moses Hodsden who built three houses, a sawmill, a grist-mill, a store, and a blacksmith shop in what is now the village of Kenduskeag. At the time, these were likely the only framed buildings between Bangor and the Kennebec River. In 1813 the plantation became a town, and was given the name Levant, which is that part of the Middle East which borders the Mediterranean.
In 1852, the village of Kenduskeag broke away from the rest of Levant and took part of the neighboring town of Glenburn to form the present town of Kenduskeag. Prior to the break the town had 1,841 inhabitants.
In early 1824, Levant Congregational minister John Bovee Dods claimed that he was visited by a spirit, and his house subsequently became the site of poltergeist activity. Perhaps a hundred curious people were said to have visited and witnessed these events. Dods became a Universalist in 1826, and moved to nearby Union, though he continued to preach in Levant. He later moved to Massachusetts and became an early psychologist, publishing The Philosophy of Electrical Psychology in 1850, and lecturing widely. In 1856 he converted to spiritualism, and became a leading figure in that religion in New York City.
One of the last tarring and feathering episodes in Maine took place in Levant in 1899, the victim being an evangelical minister named George W. Higgins of the Disciples of the Holy Ghost, whose headquarters was the Shiloh Temple in Durham, Maine, and whose spiritual leader was Frank Sandford. Higgins had made about 15 converts in Levant, and encouraged them to turn over all their property to Sandford and go to live in the Durham temple. After one member had committed suicide and Higgins had told another to whip a small child because he was possessed by a demon, two selectmen ordered him to leave town. When he refused, a mob seized him, covered him with hot tar and feathers, and rode him on a rail a number of miles to the town line, some following behind in carriages. An area in town where many "Higginsites" lived was known as "Higginsville" as late as the 1930s.

The A&P Superintendent's House is a historic house in the Barelas neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1881 for Frank W. Smith, who used it as his base of operations while supervising construction of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad from Albuquerque to Needles, California. It is built from red sandstone, believed to have been quarried near Laguna Pueblo, which was the same material used to build the A&P's maintenance facilities on the opposite side of Second Street. Those buildings were replaced by the Santa Fe Railway Shops beginning in 1912, leaving the Superintendent's House as the city's only surviving building associated with the A&P. The house was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The Superintendent's House is a one-and-a-half-story building with an intersecting gable roof and an open porch which wraps around the north and east sides. The walls are thick and are constructed from sandstone blocks set in broken courses. The windows and door openings have stone lintels and sills with wood trim, and the porch features finely carved wooden pillars, cornices, and corbels ornamented with stars and arabesques. The north section of the house is side-gabled, with two dormers, and contains the living and dining rooms. The front-gabled south section contains two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen wing at the rear. The upper floor was originally constructed as servants' quarters but was later converted to a separate apartment.

Aureolaria levigata, commonly known as entireleaf yellow false foxglove or Appalachian oak-leech, is a species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae. It is native to much of the Appalachian Mountains and surrounding areas in the eastern United States. It is also found in a disjunct population in southwestern Mississippi.
Description
Like other members of its genus, Aureolaria laevigata is hemiparasitic on oak tree roots. It produces tubular yellow flowers in late summer. It can be distinguished from its relative, A. flava by its tendency to have entire, simple leaves. It is a perennial herb with a sprawling semi-erect growth habit.
Taxonomy
The Appalachian oak-leech was first formally described in 1820 by French botanist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque as Gerardia levigata and renamed, by the same author, as Aureolaria levigata in 1837.
The scientific name is frequently "corrected" as Aureolaria laevigata, though according to the Germplasm Resources Information Network, "Rafinesque consistently spelled this "levigata" and there is no basis for correcting his spelling". The spelling as levigata is also accepted in Kew's Plants of the World Online and International Plant Names Index.

The Cayuse language (Cailloux, Willetpoos) is an extinct unclassified language formerly spoken by the Cayuse Native American tribe in the U.S. state of Oregon. The Cayuse name for themselves was Liksiyu (see Aoki 1998).
Classification
Similarities to Molala, the language of people to the south of them in central Oregon, are thought to have been due to contact (Rigsby 1969: 71).
Edward Sapir had originally grouped Cayuse with Molala as part of a Waiilatpuan branch with the Plateau Penutian languages; the Waiilatpuan group had been originally proposed by Horatio Hale (1846), based on his 1841 field work with the Cayuse people at Waiilatpu Mission. However, Cayuse has little documentation, and that which is documented is inadequately recorded.

Wang Bo () (born 8 May 1982) is a Chinese association football player who currently plays for Nei Mongol Zhongyou in the China League One.
Club career
Wang started his career with Shenyang Ginde in the 2001 league season where he gained regular playing time in his debut season making 17 appearances and scoring one goal, however he struggled to hold down a permanent position the following seasons. This led to him being transferred to second tier club Xiamen Lanshi in 2005 where he gained more playing time and aided the team to a division title and promotion to the top tier in his debut season. He remained with Xiamen Lanshi for several further seasons until the club were relegated from the top flight and disbanded at the end of 2007 league season. Wang would move to Changchun Yatai for a season before he was loaned out to Henan Construction for a season long loan during 2009.
On 28 January 2016, Wang transferred to China League One club Nei Mongol Zhongyou.

Black Top Records was an American, New Orleans, Louisiana-based independent record label, founded in 1981 by brothers Nauman S. Scott, III and Hammond Scott. The label specialized in blues and R&B music. The first release was "Talk To You By Hand" by Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets. The artist roster included Earl King, Snooks Eaglin, Lee Rocker, Guitar Shorty, and Robert Ward, among others.
History
The label started out primarily as a blues label, and soon stretched out to New Orleans R&B and American roots music. Black Top especially excelled in discovering obscure talents. Many of the label's artists such as Robert Ward, Carol Fran, Clarence Hollimon, and W. C. Clark were either relatively unknown, or had been away from record contracts and/or the music industry for many years. The label used a variety of musicians on its recordings, including many from the New Orleans music community. Examples include George Porter Jr., David Torkanowsky, Herman V. Ernest III, and Sammy Berfect; Black Top also often hired the members of the Antone's house band from Austin, Texas, including Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff on saxophone. Pianist and organist Nick Connolly, also based in Austin, was another musician who recorded several sessions. Although Black Top concentrated on recording new material for the most part, it also handled some vintage reissues from artists such as Earl Hooker and Hollywood Fats.
Initially, its catalog was distributed by Rounder Records. When the contract ended in the mid-nineties, Passport Music took over distribution for a brief period of time; Chicago blues label Alligator Records distributed the Black Top catalog after that.
After releasing well over 100 albums, the label closed in 1999. Nauman Scott died in 2002. Hammond Scott sold the rights of the catalog, and some releases were reissued on labels such as Varèse Sarabande, Fuel 2000, and Shout! Factory. In 2006, P-Vine Records in Japan acquired the worldwide rights to them.

*>
*> \verbatim
*>
*> CGGES computes for a pair of N-by-N complex nonsymmetric matrices
*> (A,B), the generalized eigenvalues, the generalized complex Schur
*> form (S, T), and optionally left and/or right Schur vectors (VSL
*> and VSR). This gives the generalized Schur factorization
*>
*> (A,B) = ( (VSL)*S*(VSR)**H, (VSL)*T*(VSR)**H )
*>
*> where (VSR)**H is the conjugate-transpose of VSR.
*>
*> Optionally, it also orders the eigenvalues so that a selected cluster
*> of eigenvalues appears in the leading diagonal blocks of the upper
*> triangular matrix S and the upper triangular matrix T. The leading
*> columns of VSL and VSR then form an unitary basis for the
*> corresponding left and right eigenspaces (deflating subspaces).
*>
*> (If only the generalized eigenvalues are needed, use the driver
*> CGGEV instead, which is faster.)
*>
*> A generalized eigenvalue for a pair of matrices (A,B) is a scalar w
*> or a ratio alpha/beta = w, such that A - w*B is singular. It is
*> usually represented as the pair (alpha,beta), as there is a
*> reasonable interpretation for beta=0, and even for both being zero.
*>
*> A pair of matrices (S,T) is in generalized complex Schur form if S
*> and T are upper triangular and, in addition, the diagonal elements
*> of T are non-negative real numbers.
*> \endverbatim
*
* Arguments:
* ==========
*
*> \param[in] JOBVSL
*> \verbatim
*> JOBVSL is CHARACTER*1
*> = 'N': do not compute the left Schur vectors;
*> = 'V': compute the left Schur vectors.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] JOBVSR
*> \verbatim
*> JOBVSR is CHARACTER*1
*> = 'N': do not compute the right Schur vectors;
*> = 'V': compute the right Schur vectors.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] SORT
*> \verbatim
*> SORT is CHARACTER*1
*> Specifies whether or not to order the eigenvalues on the
*> diagonal of the generalized Schur form.
*> = 'N': Eigenvalues are not ordered;
*> = 'S': Eigenvalues are ordered (see SELCTG).
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] SELCTG
*> \verbatim
*> SELCTG is a LOGICAL FUNCTION of two COMPLEX arguments
*> SELCTG must be declared EXTERNAL in the calling subroutine.
*> If SORT = 'N', SELCTG is not referenced.
*> If SORT = 'S', SELCTG is used to select eigenvalues to sort
*> to the top left of the Schur form.
*> An eigenvalue ALPHA(j)/BETA(j) is selected if
*> SELCTG(ALPHA(j),BETA(j)) is true.
*>
*> Note that a selected complex eigenvalue may no longer satisfy
*> SELCTG(ALPHA(j),BETA(j)) = .TRUE. after ordering, since
*> ordering may change the value of complex eigenvalues
*> (especially if the eigenvalue is ill-conditioned), in this
*> case INFO is set to N+2 (See INFO below).
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] N
*> \verbatim
*> N is INTEGER
*> The order of the matrices A, B, VSL, and VSR. N >= 0.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in,out] A
*> \verbatim
*> A is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA, N)
*> On entry, the first of the pair of matrices.
*> On exit, A has been overwritten by its generalized Schur
*> form S.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] LDA
*> \verbatim
*> LDA is INTEGER
*> The leading dimension of A. LDA >= max(1,N).
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in,out] B
*> \verbatim
*> B is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDB, N)
*> On entry, the second of the pair of matrices.
*> On exit, B has been overwritten by its generalized Schur
*> form T.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] LDB
*> \verbatim
*> LDB is INTEGER
*> The leading dimension of B. LDB >= max(1,N).
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[out] SDIM
*> \verbatim
*> SDIM is INTEGER
*> If SORT = 'N', SDIM = 0.
*> If SORT = 'S', SDIM = number of eigenvalues (after sorting)
*> for which SELCTG is true.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[out] ALPHA
*> \verbatim
*> ALPHA is COMPLEX array, dimension (N)
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[out] BETA
*> \verbatim
*> BETA is COMPLEX array, dimension (N)
*> On exit, ALPHA(j)/BETA(j), j=1,...,N, will be the
*> generalized eigenvalues. ALPHA(j), j=1,...,N and BETA(j),
*> j=1,...,N are the diagonals of the complex Schur form (A,B)
*> output by CGGES. The BETA(j) will be non-negative real.
*>
*> Note: the quotients ALPHA(j)/BETA(j) may easily over- or
*> underflow, and BETA(j) may even be zero. Thus, the user
*> should avoid naively computing the ratio alpha/beta.
*> However, ALPHA will be always less than and usually
*> comparable with norm(A) in magnitude, and BETA always less
*> than and usually comparable with norm(B).
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[out] VSL
*> \verbatim
*> VSL is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDVSL,N)
*> If JOBVSL = 'V', VSL will contain the left Schur vectors.
*> Not referenced if JOBVSL = 'N'.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] LDVSL
*> \verbatim
*> LDVSL is INTEGER
*> The leading dimension of the matrix VSL. LDVSL >= 1, and
*> if JOBVSL = 'V', LDVSL >= N.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[out] VSR
*> \verbatim
*> VSR is COMPLEX array, dimension (LDVSR,N)
*> If JOBVSR = 'V', VSR will contain the right Schur vectors.
*> Not referenced if JOBVSR = 'N'.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] LDVSR
*> \verbatim
*> LDVSR is INTEGER
*> The leading dimension of the matrix VSR. LDVSR >= 1, and
*> if JOBVSR = 'V', LDVSR >= N.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[out] WORK
*> \verbatim
*> WORK is COMPLEX array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))
*> On exit, if INFO = 0, WORK(1) returns the optimal LWORK.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] LWORK
*> \verbatim
*> LWORK is INTEGER
*> The dimension of the array WORK. LWORK >= max(1,2*N).
*> For good performance, LWORK must generally be larger.
*>
*> If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the routine
*> only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array, returns

Municipality of Struga (, ) is a municipality in western North Macedonia. Struga is also the name of the town where the municipal seat is found. Struga Municipality is part of the Southwestern Statistical Region.
Geography
The municipality borders
Lake Ohrid to the south,
Debarca Municipality to the east,
Centar Župa Municipality to the north, and
Vevčani Municipality and Albania to the west.
Inhabited places
The only town in the municipality is Struga.
Besides Struga, there are additional 50 villages:

Demographics
Prior to 2004 adjustment
After 2004 the municipalities of Delogoždi, Labuništa, Lukova and Velešta merged with Struga Municipality and the demographics changed. Before that, the demographics of the municipality was:
Ethnic groups.
Languages
Religion
Post-2004
Mother tongues according to the 2002 and 2021 censuses.
According to the last national census from 2021 this municipality has 50,980 inhabitants. Ethnic groups in the municipality include:
According to the 2002 census, the religions practiced the municipality are:
The ethnic composition and numbers of most communities in the Struga region have remained static apart from the Torbeš population who mostly self-declare themselves as either Albanians or Turks. Macedonian-speaking Muslims (Torbeši) are located in the religiously mixed villages of Boroec, Jablanica, Labuništa, Oktisi and Podgorci, where they live alongside Orthodox Macedonians. Amidst the Albanian population of Zagračani are a few Torbeš families originating from Oktisi and Podgorci who now speak Albanian.
The Struga area is home to various dialects spoken by Macedonians, such as the Vevčani-Radožda dialect. The Macedonian language is a second language for most of the non-Slavic ethnic groups in the Struga region. Some communities are bilingual and other ethnic groups are trilingual due to their religious (Islamic) heritage. Many Albanians have a good working knowledge of the variety of Turkish spoken in the Struga area and it serves as a third language for them. Local Macedonians rarely have knowledge of languages spoken by other ethnic groups living in the Struga area. Aromanians traditionally used to live in two villages of the Struga region, the now abandoned settlement of Gorna Belica alongside Albanians that spoke the Tosk Albanian dialect, and Dolna Belica, which has become repopulated mainly with Albanians. Aromanian speaking Muslims also existed in Dolna Belica, although they have assimilated into Albanian identity and language. Some Aromanians from Gorna Belica have resettled in the nearby village of Vevčani. The village of Mali Vlaj was also once inhabited by Aromanians, belonging to the Frashëriot subgroup that originated from Albania and became assimilated during the course of the 19th century.
Both main dialects Gheg and Tosk of Albanian are spoken in the Struga region and are mostly separated along the course of the Black Drim river that runs through the middle of Struga town. The Tosk Albanian dialect is spoken in Frangovo, Kališta, Radolišta, Šum and Zagračani, while all other Albanian inhabited villages of the Struga region speak the Gheg Albanian dialect. Part of the village population in Labuništa is Albanian. Until the last few decades of the 20th century Tosk Albanian, in particular the geographically central variety of the dialect dominated among speakers of Albanian in Struga. The local Romani population of Struga speaks and sings in the southern Tosk Albanian dialect, as does the local Turkish population. Aromanians in Struga and the wider area have practical knowledge of Tosk Albanian as a third language. Local Macedonians who learn Albanian, speak the Tosk Albanian dialect.
History
On 26 November 2019, an earthquake struck Albania and Struga Municipality held 1 day of mourning for the earthquake victims and sent 1,000,000 denars for relief efforts.

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) is a U.S. nonprofit public policy think tank based in Washington, D.C., focused on public policy surrounding industry and technology. , the University of Pennsylvania ranks ITIF as the most authoritative science and technology policy think tank in the world. In its role in developing industrial and technological policies, ITIF has attracted controversy for its affiliations with various technology companies.
Mission
ITIF's stated mission is to promote new ways of thinking about technology-driven productivity, competitiveness and globalization. The newspaper Roll Call described ITIF as trying to "navigate the ideological waters to promote government support for innovation in many forms and with a broad range of ideals." Ars Technica has described ITIF as "one of the leading, and most prolific, tech policy think tanks."
ITIF has called for the United States government to implement a national manufacturing strategy to combat job losses and the trade deficit which they attribute to declining international competitiveness. They have argued that the U.S. government's gross domestic product (GDP) statistics suffer from statistical bias and thus overstate U.S. manufacturing output and productivity growth. They have also criticized the Chinese government for behaviors they label "innovation mercantilism" including standards manipulation and intellectual property theft.
In Internet policy, ITIF supported both the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. Congress. They oppose applying Title II telephone regulations to broadband, arguing that it would stifle Internet innovation, and instead support net neutrality legislation. ITIF has praised both the U.S. and the European Union "open Internet" rulings. For similar reasons, they have supported legislation aimed at curtailing Internet piracy, stirring some controversy when they argued that data caps on Internet usage would be an effective anti-piracy tool.
Along with the Breakthrough Institute, ITIF has called for increased public funding for clean energy innovation, arguing that the United States is falling behind countries like China, Japan and South Korea.
Publications
In economic policy, ITIF publishes the State New Economy Index, which measures how much U.S. states’ economies are driven by knowledge and innovation. They publish The Atlantic Century, which ranks countries on their competitiveness and innovative capacity. ITIF took over publishing the "B-index", which measures the strength of countries' R&D tax incentive systems, from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2012.
In the life sciences field, ITIF published Leadership in Decline: Assessing U.S. International Competitiveness in Biomedical Research in 2012, which director of the National Institutes of Health and leader of the Human Genome Project Francis S. Collins deemed the "one book" he would require President Barack Obama to read in his second term in office.
ITIF has published several reports advocating greater deployment of information technologies, including Digital Prosperity and Digital Quality of Life. In Digital Prosperity, ITIF found that IT investment delivered three to five times the productivity growth of other types of investments. Commenting on the study, former Dean of Wisconsin School of Business Michael Knetter agreed with the productivity figures, though expressed caution given that some of ITIF's contributors are in the technology industry. ITIF's report Steal These Policies: Strategies for Reducing Digital Piracy provided the foundation for the controversial PROTECT IP and Stop Online Piracy Acts in the U.S. Congress, which the think tank acknowledged were at odds with the positions of many of its supporters.
In 2013, the think tank published a widely cited report which found that the U.S. National Security Agency's PRISM electronic data surveillance program could cost the U.S. economy between $21.5 and $35 billion in lost cloud computing business over three years.
ITIF previously issued an annual Luddite Award for the "Year’s Worst Innovation Killers".
Leadership
Referred to as "scrupulously nonpartisan", the think tank was established in 2006 with two former U.S. Representatives, Republican Jennifer Dunn and Democrat Calvin Dooley, as co-chairs. Republican Philip English and Democrat Vic Fazio, former U.S. Representatives, co-chair ITIF. Senators Chris Coons and Todd Young and Representatives Suzan DelBene and Susan W. Brooks serve as honorary co-chairs. Robert D. Atkinson, former vice-president at the Progressive Policy Institute, is president of ITIF. While leading ITIF, he has authored two books: Innovation Economics: The Race for Global Advantage (Yale University Press, 2012), and Big is Beautiful: Debunking the Myth of Small Business (MIT Press, 2018).

Aesculus indica, commonly known as the Indian horse-chestnut or Himalayan horse chestnut, is a species of deciduous broad-leaved tree in the family Sapindaceae.
Description
Aesculus indica is an attractive tree growing to with a spread of about . It is hardy to , USDA zones 7–9. It is in flower from June to July, and the seeds ripen in October. The flowers are hermaphroditic and with plentiful white blossoms during May and June pollinated by bees. Its large leaves long by wide are also ornamental and the mature tree forms a beautiful round canopy.
Distribution
It is common along the Himalayan Lowlands, between Kashmir and Western Nepal at elevations between 900 and 3,000 metres. In the British Isles it is popular in many parks and estates where it was introduced in the mid-19th century. It is also found in many parts of the US. The commercial collection of its seeds for flour production seems to have impacted on the natural distribution of this species.
Uses
Its leaves are used as cattle fodder in parts of Northern India. Its seeds are dried and ground into a bitter flour, called tattawakher. The bitterness is caused by saponins, which are rinsed out by thoroughly washing the flour during its preparation. The flour is often mixed with wheat flour to make chapatis and also to make a halwa (Indian sweetmeat) and sometimes is served as a dalia, (a type of porridge or gruel) during fasting periods.
It is used in traditional Indian medicine, for the treatment of some skin diseases, rheumatism, as an astringent, acrid and narcotic, and in the relief of headaches.
Its large leaves and flowers make it suitable for use as large-sized bonsai.
In the UK, the cultivar ‘Sydney Pearce’’ has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

Man of the Year is a 1995 mockumentary film written, directed by and starring Dirk Shafer. It is a fictionalized account of Shafer's reign as Playgirl magazine's 1992 "Man of the Year" and his struggle with reconciling his public persona as a sex symbol to women with his identity as a gay man. Shafer combines mock interviews (both with some of the actual people involved and with actors standing in for the actual people) with archive footage from Shafer's appearances on talk shows like Donahue, The Maury Povich Show and The Jerry Springer Show (along with an early appearance on Dance Fever) and recreations of events like his Playgirl photoshoots, his "fantasy date" with a Playgirl reader and the death of his friend Pledge Cartwright (played by actor Bill Brochtrup) of an AIDS-related illness to relate the story.
Critical response
Variety gave Man of the Year a generally favorable review, calling the film "pleasant to watch and intermittently clever." However, it notes that Shafer's writing is "uneven" and that the film's "structure is a bit repetitive." The New Yorker largely concurred, noting that Shafer "keep[s] condescension at bay with some nice comic spins" but finding the use of the death of Shafer's friend as Shafer's catalyst for coming out to be self-serving. The San Francisco Chronicle was far harsher, deriding the film as a "vanity" production and complaining "There's no shape to Man of the Year, no forward movement. Man of the Year doesn't even have the benefit of being hip." The New York Times, however, found the film "gently satirical" with the use of real clips from Shafer's various talk show appearances creating a "tone of vertiginous loopiness." The Times also saw the metaphor in Shafer's experience to the pressure that society put on gay people to pretend to be straight.
DVD release
Man of the Year was released on Region 1 DVD on February 23, 1999.

Admiral of the Fleet George Byng, 1st Viscount Torrington, (27 January 1663 – 17 January 1733), of Southill Park in Bedfordshire, was a Royal Navy officer and statesman. While still a lieutenant, he delivered a letter from various captains to Prince William of Orange, who had just landed at Torbay, assuring the Prince of the captains' support; the Prince gave Byng a response which ultimately led to the Royal Navy switching allegiance to the Prince and the Glorious Revolution of November 1688.
As a captain, Byng saw action at the Battle of Vigo Bay, when the French fleet were defeated, during the War of the Spanish Succession. As a flag officer, he led the bombardment squadron while serving under Admiral Sir George Rooke at the Capture of Gibraltar and then took part in the Battle of Málaga at a later stage in the same war.
Byng was sent to the Mediterranean to thwart any attempt by the Spanish to take Sicily. He encountered the Spanish fleet at Naples and, after pursuing it down the Strait of Messina, sent ahead his fastest ships causing the Spanish fleet to split in two. In the ensuing action, known as the Battle of Cape Passaro, the Spanish fleet was devastated: 10 ships of the line were captured, four ships of the line sunk or burnt and four frigates were captured at this early and critical stage of the War of the Quadruple Alliance. He went on to be First Lord of the Admiralty during the reign of King George II.
Early career
Born the son of John Byng and Philadelphia Byng (née Johnson), Byng joined the Royal Navy as a King's Letter Boy in May 1678. He served initially in the fourth-rate and then transferred to the fourth-rate in November 1678 and to the fourth-rate in June 1679. He sailed with the fifth-rate to Tangier in Summer 1680 and, after a short period of military service with the 2nd Tangier Regiment, he rejoined the Royal Navy as a lieutenant on 23 February 1684 and assigned to the fourth-rate before returning to HMS Phoenix in which he sailed to the East Indies on a mission to put down a rebellion in Bombay. He transferred to the fourth-rate in May 1688 and to the third-rate in September 1688.
In October 1688 Byng, still a lieutenant, delivered a letter from various captains to Prince William of Orange, who had just landed at Torbay, assuring the Prince of the captains' support; the Prince gave Byng a response which ultimately led to the Royal Navy switching allegiance to the Prince and the Glorious Revolution of November 1688. Promoted to captain on 22 December 1688, he was given command of the fourth-rate before transferring to the command of the third-rate in May 1690 in which he saw action at the Battle of Beachy Head in July 1690 during the Nine Years' War. He transferred to the command of the second-rate in September 1690 and to the third-rate in January 1691 before becoming Flag Captain to Admiral Edward Russell in the first-rate in December 1693.
Byng was given command of the third-rate in June 1702 and saw action at the Battle of Vigo Bay, when the French fleet were defeated, in October 1702 during the War of the Spanish Succession.
Senior command
Promoted to rear admiral on 1 March 1703, Byng became third-in-command of the Mediterranean Fleet under Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell with his flag in the third-rate later that month. He led the bombardment squadron while serving under Admiral Sir George Rooke at the Capture of Gibraltar in August 1704 and then took part in the Battle of Málaga in August 1704. Knighted on 22 October 1704, and promoted to vice admiral on 3 January 1705, he was elected Member of Parliament for Plymouth later that year.
Byng became Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth, with his flag in the first-rate HMS Royal Anne, in late 1705 and then took part in the bombardment of Alicante in June 1706. After taking part in the British defeat at the Battle of Toulon in July 1707 and, while sailing aboard his flagship HMS Royal Anne, Byng was present during the great naval disaster off the Isles of Scilly in October 1707 when Shovell and four of his ships were lost, claiming the lives of nearly 2,000 sailors.
Promoted to full admiral on 26 January 1708, Byng became Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet in January 1709 and went on to join the Board of Admiralty led by the Earl of Orford in November 1709. Byng was advanced to Senior Naval Lord on the Admiralty Board in October 1710. He stood down from the Admiralty Board in January 1714 but was reappointed, as Senior Naval Lord again, on Orford's return to the Admiralty in October 1714.
Byng took part in the suppression of the Jacobite rising by cutting off the Old Pretender's supplies in 1715 and for this he was created a baronet on 15 November 1715. In 1717 he was commanding the British fleet in the Baltic with full cooperation from Denmark's admiral Peter Raben.
He was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet on 14 March 1718 and, with his flag in the second-rate , he was sent out as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet to thwart any attempt by the Spanish to gain or to consolidate their position in Sicily. He encountered the Spanish fleet at Naples and, after pursuing it down the Strait of Messina, sent ahead his fastest ships causing the Spanish fleet to split in two. In the ensuing action on 11 August 1718, known as the Battle of Cape Passaro, the Spanish fleet was devastated: 10 ships of the line were captured, 4 ships of the line sunk or burnt and 4 frigates were captured at this early and critical stage of the War of the Quadruple Alliance.
Byng was then given power to negotiate with the various princes and states of Italy on behalf of the English crown. Following his return to England, Byng became both Treasurer of the Navy and Rear-Admiral of Great Britain on 21 October 1720. He was admitted to the Privy Council on 3 January 1721 and, having stepped down from the Admiralty Board in September 1721, was created Baron Byng of Southill in the county of Bedford, and 1st Viscount Torrington in Devon on 21 September 1721. He developed his estate at Southill Park in Bedfordshire in the 1720s.
Byng was installed as a Knight Companion of the Order of the Bath on 17 June 1725 and appointed First Lord of the Admiralty during the Walpole–Townshend Ministry in August 1727; in this role he was instrumental in the establishment of the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth.
Marriage and progeny
Byng was married at St Paul's, Covent Garden, on 6 March 1691 to Margaret Master, daughter of James Master of East Langdon in Kent. Together the couple had fifteen children (eleven sons and four daughters) of whom six lived to survive him:
Pattee Byng (1699–1747), 2nd Viscount Torrington, died without surviving progeny.
George Byng (1701–1750), 3rd Viscount Torrington
Robert Byng (1703–1740), Governor of Barbados (1739–1740), from whom the Earls of Strafford stem.
John Byng (1704–1757), Admiral controversially court-martialled and shot at the outbreak of the Seven Years' War in Europe.
Edward Byng (1706–1756)
Sarah Byng (1695–1775)
Death and burial
Byng died on 17 January 1733 and was eventually buried in a vault within the newly constructed Byng Mausoleum attached to the north side of the Church of All Saints in the parish of Southill, Bedfordshire, in which parish was situated his residence of Southill Park. The mausoleum was constructed for his burial, with licence granted by the Bishop of Lincoln in 1733.

The di inferi or dii inferi (Latin, "the gods below") were a shadowy collective of ancient Roman deities associated with death and the underworld. The epithet inferi is also given to the mysterious Manes, a collective of ancestral spirits. The most likely origin of the word Manes is from manus or manis (more often in Latin as its antonym immanis), meaning "good" or "kindly," which was a euphemistic way to speak of the inferi so as to avert their potential to harm or cause fear.
Sacrifices
Varro (1st century BC) distinguishes among the di superi ("gods above"), whose sites for offerings are called altaria; the di terrestres ("terrestrial gods"), whose altars are arae; and di inferi, to whom offerings are made by means of foci, "hearths," on the ground or in a pit. In general, animal sacrifice to gods of the upper world usually resulted in communal meals, with the cooked victim apportioned to divine and human recipients. Infernal gods, by contrast, received burnt offerings (holocausts), in which the sacrificial victims were burnt to ash, because the living were prohibited from sharing a meal with the dead. This prohibition is reflected also in funeral rites, where the deceased's passage into the realm of the dead is marked with a holocaust to his Manes at his tomb, while his family returns home to share a sacrificial meal at which his exclusion from the feast was ritually pronounced. Thereafter, he was considered part of the collective Manes, sharing in the sacrifices made to them.
Thus, victims for public sacrifices were most often domesticated animals that were a normal part of the Roman diet, while offerings of victims the Romans considered inedible, such as horses and puppies, mark a chthonic aspect of the deity propitiated, whether or not the divinity belonged to the underworld entirely. Secret ritual practices characterized as "magic" were often holocausts directed at underworld gods, and puppies were a not uncommon offering, especially to Hecate. Di inferi were often invoked in binding spells (defixiones), which offer personal enemies to them. The infernal gods were also the recipients on the rare occasions when human sacrifice was carried out in Rome. The ritual of devotio, when a general pledged his own life as an offering along with the enemy, was directed at the gods of the underworld under the name Di Manes.
Festivals and topography
Religious sites and rituals for the di inferi were properly outside the pomerium, Rome's sacred boundary, as were tombs. Horse racing along with the propitiation of underworld gods was characteristic of "old and obscure" Roman festivals such as the Consualia, the October Horse, the Taurian Games, and sites in the Campus Martius such as the Tarentum and the Trigarium. The Taurian Games were celebrated specifically to propitiate the di inferi.
The rarely raced three-horse chariot (triga, from which the trigarium, as a generic term for "field for equestrian exercise", took its name) was sacred to the di inferi. According to Isidore of Seville, the three horses represented the three stages of a human life: childhood, youth, and old age.
Arbores infelices
In the Etruscan tradition of tree divination, the di inferi were the tutelaries of certain trees and shrubs, on one list the buckthorn, red cornel, fern, black fig, "those that bear a black berry and black fruit," holly, woodland pear, butcher's broom, briar, and brambles." The wood of these trees, called arbores infelices ("inauspicious trees"), had apotropaic powers and was used for burning objects regarded as ill omens.
Christian reception
The early Christian poet Prudentius regarded the di inferi as integral to the ancestral religion of Rome, and criticized the gladiatorial games held for them as representative of the underworld gods' inhumane and horrifying nature. To Prudentius, the other Roman gods were merely false, easily explained as euhemerized mortals, but an act of devotion to the di inferi constituted devil worship, because Christians assimilated the di inferi to their beliefs pertaining to Hell and the figure variously known as the Devil, Satan, or Lucifer.
List of underworld or chthonic deities
The following list includes deities who were thought to dwell in the underworld, or whose functions mark them as primarily or significantly chthonic or concerned with death. They typically receive nocturnal sacrifices, or dark-colored animals as offerings. Other deities may have had a secondary or disputed chthonic aspect. Rituals pertaining to Mars, particularly in a form influenced by Etruscan tradition, suggest a role in the cycle of birth and death. Mercury moves between the realms of upper- and underworld as a psychopomp. The agricultural god Consus had an altar that was underground, like that of Dis and Proserpina. Deities concerned with birth are often cultivated like death deities, with nocturnal offerings that suggest a theological view of birth and death as a cycle.
The deities listed below are not to be regarded as collectively forming the di inferi, whose individual identities are obscure.
Dis or Dis pater ("Father Dis"), the Roman equivalent of Greek Plouton, who presided over the afterlife as a divine couple with Proserpina
Februus, Etruscan god of purification and death, absorbed into the Roman pantheon
Hecate or Trivia ("three paths"), an aspect of the triple goddess, along with Luna and Proserpina, adapted in Rome
Lemures, the malevolent dead
Libitina, one of the indigitamenta associated with death and the underworld
Manes, spirits of the dead
Mana Genita, an obscure underworld goddess who was concerned with infant mortality
Mater Larum ("Mother of the Lares"), a goddess of obscure identity and underworld associations variously identified as Larunda or Dea Tacita ("Silent Goddess") or Muta "(Mute Goddess)"
Mors, personification of death
Nenia Dea, goddess of the funeral lament
Orcus, an archaic underworld deity whose name was also used for the underworld itself; compare Hades
Parca Maurtia or Morta, one of the three fates who determines mortality
Proserpina, daughter of Ceres and queen of the underworld with her husband Dis; also Erecura
Scotus, god of darkness. Greek Erebos; deep, shadow and one of the primordial deities.
Summanus, god of nocturnal thunder who was later identified with Pluto
Vediovis, an obscure archaic god, perhaps a chthonic Jove

Station inspector is a police rank used in some countries.
Singapore
Singapore Police Force
Station inspector is the third highest non-commissioned rank in the Singapore Police Force, below inspector, and above senior staff sergeant. Station inspectors wear a rank insignia of two point-up chevrons, the Singapore coat of arms and a garland below.
National Police Cadet Corps
The rank of station inspector is awarded to cadets who have contributed greatly to their National Police Cadet Corps unit. NPCC station inspectors wear a yellow flash on their beret. The rank is above staff sergeant, and is the highest rank a cadet can attain while they are in secondary school. It is below the rank of cadet inspector trainee.
Station inspectors wear the letters 'NPCC' below their rank insignia to differentiate them from Singapore Police Force personnel.
British Metropolitan Police
The term was used by the Metropolitan Police in London from 1880 to 1949. It was the official rank used by inspectors to distinguish them from the more senior sub-divisional inspectors. Both ranks had one star (or "pip") as their insignia and their titles were considered appointments. The sub-divisional inspector later received two stars in 1922 to reduce confusion between the two levels of command.
In 1936 the rank of junior station inspector was created for Metropolitan Police College cadets and those thereafter completing their probationary period at a police station. To differentiate between the trainee rank and the appointed rank a new rank badge was created. One rectangular bar was placed under the star for a junior station inspector and two rectangular bars was placed under the star for a full station inspector. The rank of junior station inspector was abolished in 1938 and the Metropolitan Police College was closed in 1939. The insignia for junior station inspector was used until 1941, when the last graduates who held the rank had completed their probationary period.
In 1941, the rank of temporary or probationary inspector was granted one star, the rank of station inspector received two stars, and the rank of sub-divisional inspector received three stars. In 1949, the inspector ranks were reorganised. The rank of station inspector was changed to inspector and the rank of sub-divisional inspector abolished.

The Crackerjacks were a 1960s Memphis garage rock group. Band members included organist-bassist Bobby Sowell, lead guitarist David Preola, lead singer Jerry Stamson, and drummer Roy Yeager. They gained popularity in 1966–67, regularly appearing on Memphis WHBQ TV Talent Party with George Klien (also a popular radio DJ and friend of Elvis Presley). They won the Mid-South Fair in 1966 for best group. The Crackerjacks had no bass player; Bobby Sowell played bass and organ at the same time. The group was short lived due to several reasons. Sowell was drafted in 1968, Preola also was drafted into the Army, Stampson went into the restaurant business and Yeager went with the group Lobo and the southern rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section. Sowell was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in 2002. The Crackerjacks are featured in a rock book, History of Memphis Bands, 1960-72 by Ron Hall, available at bookstores.
Early band history
The Crackerjacks were formed out of another popular 1960s Memphis garage band, The Out Of Its, in 1965–66. Besides Bobby Sowell, David Preola and Roy Yeager, other members included brothers Ricky and Micky Caughron and bass player Murphy Odom. They were a popular band with area colleges and universities, traveling the Mid-South in Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee. They won several Memphis area battles of the bands.
Personal conflicts and other factors lead to their breakup. Micky Caughron, Ricky Caughron and Murphy went with other bands while Sowell, Preola and Yeager formed The Crackerjacks, adding Jerry Stampson to the mix. Eventually, Fred Prouty replaced Yearger on drums and occasionally, Bobby Whitlock also sang with them. They also performed regularly at the club The Roaring 60's. Whitlock went on to play keyboards with Derek and the Dominoes, Eric Clapton and the Beatles's George Harrison.

Hardy Perennials and Old Fashioned Flowers — Describing the Most Desirable Plants, for Borders, Rockeries, and Shrubberies is a horticulture and gardening book by John Wood, published in 1884 in London by L. Upcott Gill. The book consists of descriptions of common British flowers, organized alphabetically by their scientific name. The first volume was released in April 1883. The book was put online by the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation in 2006.
A review in Nature was lukewarm, expressing reservations about the bulk, cost, and spelling mistakes of the work. The Athenaeum was more positive, excusing mistakes because "the book has no pretensions to be a scientific treatise." The Saturday Review also praised it as a detailed and practical gardening book.

Escudero was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico the capital city of the island. His parents were well aware that their son was musically inclined at a young age. They also stressed that their son receive a good education and sent him to study in private schools. They wanted their son to learn about classical music and contracted the services of violin teacher Eduardo Geigel to teach Escudero how to play the violin.

He perfected his piano playing by taking piano lessons from the maestro Pedro Escabi.
Early influences
During the 1960s, he enrolled in the University of Puerto Rico where he studied humanities. As a student in the university, he was exposed to the works of some of Puerto Rico's greatest poets: Gustavo Pales Matos (who was his friend and mentor), Antonio Machado, Julia de Burgos and Juan Antonio Corretjer. The works of these poets greatly influenced Escudero and where to serve as the basis for his inspiration.
Modern Danzas
Escudero debuted as a composer with the recording modernized versions of classical danzas. "Lo que yo quiero ser", originally recorded by Pijuan's Sextet and interpreted by Anibal Hernandez, became a national hit contributing to what has been labeled as the renaissance of the Danza. Danny Rivera, recognized as Puerto Rico's "national voice", recorded "Añoranzas", "Carta a Juan Morel" and "Caricias". The recordings were a success and Escudero received the acceptance and recognition from the public and fellow musicians alike.
During the 1970s, Escudero composed many songs that were recorded by the following singers, Danny Rivera, Marco Antonio Muñiz, Jose Feliciano, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Miranda and many others. Escudero recorded 'Sin tu Amor" (Without your Love), "Cuando el amor germina", "Repica ese guiro y canta" and "Pa' cortase las venas". He also participated with dozens of Latin American singers in the recording of "Somos el Projimo" (We're your neighbor) which was the Latin-American version of "We Are The World". Escudero, appeared in the film "Under Suspicion" starring Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman as a Ballroom musician and performed on the song "Party Man" written by Miguel Zayas.

The first book was titled "En un Mundo de Cuerdos", published by the Puerto Rican Institute of Culture the second book "Comentario desde el Soberao". In 1999, he recorded "Comentario desde el Soberao" where he musically references the situations and characters in his book. This was the first time that a poet/musician combined his writings and music together in a multi-media presentation.
Awards and recognitions

Karol Rathaus (Karl Leonhard Bruno Rathaus; also Leonhard Bruno; 16 September 1895 — 21 November 1954) was a German-Austrian Jewish composer who immigrated to the United States via Berlin, Paris, and London, escaping the rise of Nazism in Germany.
Life
Born in the Ukrainian city of Ternopil (part of Austria-Hungary in 1895), Rathaus began composing at an early age, beginning his studies in 1913/1914 at the Academy of Performing Arts and Music in Vienna. His studies were interrupted by military service during the First World War. As one of the favorite pupils of Franz Schreker, Rathaus followed him to the Academy of Music in Berlin, where he continued to study music and composition. After graduation, Rathaus accepted the position of a teacher of composition and music theory at the Berlin University of the Arts. Rathaus lived in Berlin from 1922 to 1932, during which time his first compositions caused a sensation and achieved great success.
After his 1930 opera Fremde Erde, Rathaus created film music and was among the artistically outstanding film composers in Germany before 1933. He wrote the music for three films by Fyodor Otsep. In 1933 he went to Paris and lived in London from 1934 to 1938, before he finally settled in New York.
In 1940 he became a professor of composition at Queens College. In this position he achieved prestige and popularity. In addition, he was also successful as a composer, writing many commissioned works and several film scores. He died at the age of 59 in the Flushing neighborhood of New York City's borough of Queens. Handwritten manuscripts, published works, and correspondence to and from Rathaus are available for research at the Queens College Special Collections and Archives.
His compositional output includes mostly instrumental works: symphonies, orchestral works, serenades, sonatas and ballets. He saw his compositions in the tradition of Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Igor Stravinsky and his teacher Franz Schreker.
In Nazi Germany, his compositions were classified as "degenerate art" and assigned a performance ban. He is now considered one of the many great 'composers in exile'.
Rathaus was married to Gerta and had a son named Bernt. As of 2016, a documentary film is being made about Rathaus in exile.

Old Hunstanton is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk.
It covers an area of and had a population of 47 in 25 households at the 2001 census. The population had risen to 628 at the 2011 Census.
For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.
This small settlement adjoins to the north the larger resort of Hunstanton or 'New Hunstanton'. The quiet character of Old Hunstanton remains distinct from and complements that of its busy sibling, with clifftop walks past the disused Old Hunstanton Lighthouse and the ruins of St Edmund's Chapel, built in 1272. King Edmund of East Anglia supposedly built the village. The River Hun runs to the coast just to the east of Old Hunstanton.
The parish church of St Mary, situated in the grounds of Hunstanton Hall, is a Grade I listed building. It was built by Sir Hamon le Strange in about 1300 and extensively rebuilt and restored during the 19th century by architect Frederick Preedy for Henry Le Strange (1815–1862), developer of New Hunstanton. In the parish, at the deserted medieval village of Barret Ringstead (or Ringstead Parva), is the ruined Chapel of St Andrew which is Grade II*.
St Mary's churchyard contains the graves of a customs officer William Green and William Webb of the 15th Light Dragoons, both of whom were fatally wounded during a skirmish on the Hunstanton coast with smugglers. The clash occurred on the night of 25 September 1784, also claiming the life of another customs officer named Rennett. However, although the alleged perpetrators were tried at Thetford the following year it proved impossible to secure any convictions. Both gravestones are Grade II listed; one has "Here be the mangled remains of poor William Green an Honest Officer of Government who/in the faithful discharge of his duty/was inhumanely murdered/by a gang of smugglers in this parish."
The Hunstanton Lifeboat Station at Old Hunstanton is a RNLI lifeboat station with a B class (Atlantic) boat and a hovercraft.
Parts of the beach are backed by sand dunes and are the location for beach huts.
Storms deposit items on the beach including marine life this may be strandings of cetaceans, mass strandings of starfish and shellfish or boats wrecked in storms. In December 2011 a large whale washed ashore on the beach.
History
The village of Old Hunstanton is recorded in the Domesday Book as ‘Hunestanestada’.
Later it became part of the Le Strange family (or L'Estrange) estates.

Kazooloo is an augmented reality video game powered by a mobile app and a physical game board. The game was developed by American indie studio Unlimited Reality and released in iOS and Android platforms in 2014. A sequel of the game called Kazooloo DMX was launched in 2016.
Unlike most mobile games in the market that encourage players to sit down and be static the Kazooloo game requires the player to move constantly around the board to avoid enemies’ shots. Kazooloo is being presented at Hamleys and Harrods
Gameplay
Kazooloo is a first-person shooter in AR. The player's objective is to shoot enemies coming from the Kazooloo dimensions into their real life surroundings, and dodge enemy attack by physically moving around the game board. Every level of the game has different creatures to fight. As the player progresses, enemies become more difficult to defeat and require more movement of the player.

The Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company (formerly The Ensign-Bickford Company) is a manufacturer of hardware and energetic systems for use in spacecraft, military, and industrial applications. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ensign-Bickford Industries.
History
The Ensign-Bickford Company (EBCo) was started in 1836 in Simsbury, Connecticut as a manufacturer of William Bickford's safety fuse for use in mining. Safety fuse was a great advance in mining technology over the practice of filling holes with black powder.
The next step in mining technology was detonating cord. Ensign-Bickford and other companies developed different versions of detonating cord. In 1937, Ensign-Bickford trademarked "Primacord", which became the functional generic name for detonating cord in North America. In May 2003, Ensign-Bickford sold the trademarks and processes to Dyno Nobel Inc of Australia (formerly of Norway).
In 1956, EBCo began providing research and development work for Frankford Arsenal and Sandia National Laboratories to develop linear shaped charge, a product critical to the early strategic missile and launch vehicle programs. In 1965, the Space Ordnance Division was formed, making contributions to early NASA programs such as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. In 1987, the Space Ordnance Division became Ensign-Bickford Aerospace Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of EBCo, later becoming The Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company.
Locations
In addition to its headquarters and manufacturing operations in Simsbury, Connecticut, EBAD has facilities in Graham, Kentucky, & Moorpark, California.

The Tor Carding Forum (TCF) was a Tor-based forum specializing in the trade of stolen credit card details, identity theft and currency counterfeiting. The site was founded by an individual known as 'Verto' who also founded the now defunct Evolution darknet market.
The site required $50 for registration.
A 2013 investigation into counterfeit banknotes in Pittsburgh led to a source of Ugandan fakes being identified as having been purchased via the Tor Carding Forums. By December 2014 Ryan Andrew Gustafson a.k.a. "Jack Farrel" and "Willy Clock", a US citizen living in Uganda was arrested for large scale sale of counterfeit United States currency by the U.S. Secret Service which was being sold through the Tor Carding Forums as well as other crime forums.
In December 2014 the site closed following a hack, directing users to Evolution's forums.
In June 2015 a dark web researcher identified the clearnet IP address of a similar hidden service branded 'The Tor Carding Forum V2' which was subsequently shut down.

Heteromyinae is a subfamily of rodents in the family Heteromyidae, commonly known as spiny pocket mice. It contains a single extant genus, Heteromys, as well as the extinct genera Diprionomys and Metaliomys. Heteromys was recently enlarged by inclusion of the members of formerly recognized heteromyine genus Liomys, which was found to be paraphyletic.
Taxonomy
Heteromyinae is the sister group of Perognathinae; the two are estimated to have split about 22-23 million years (Ma) ago. The most recent common ancestor of extant heteromyines is thought to have lived 12-15 Ma ago; the basal species in the subfamily is H. salvini.

Andrew Crescenzi (born July 29, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre for Bozen–Bolzano of the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL). He has formerly played for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Crescenzi first played junior hockey with the Villanova Knights in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. He was selected in the 2008 OHL Priority Draft, 128th overall by the Kitchener Rangers. He later made his debut in the Ontario Hockey League with the Rangers in the 2009–10 season, compiling 12 points.
Undrafted, Crescenzi was invited to the Toronto Maple Leafs 2010 rookie and main roster training camp. He impressed the organization with his physical checking presence and was signed as a free agent to a three-year, entry-level contract on September 29, 2010. At the conclusion his second season of major junior with the Rangers in 2010–11, Crescenzi made his professional debut in appearing in 2 games with the Maple Leafs affiliate, the Toronto Marlies of the AHL
After three seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, Crescenzi embarked on his professional career in the 2012–13 season. He split his rookie season between the Marlies and the San Francisco Bulls of the ECHL.
In the 2013–14 season, Crescenzi remained assigned to the Marlies, however was unable to contribute offensively posting 3 points in 32 contests. On January 22, 2014, Crescenzi was traded by the Maple Leafs to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Brandon Kozun. He was immediately assigned to play out the remainder of the season in the AHL with the Manchester Monarchs.
After attending his first Kings training camp the following summer, Crescenzi was familiary assigned to continue his tenure with the Monarchs. He improved upon his previous seasons to post 7 goals and 15 points in 54 regular season games. Crescenzi appeared in 18 postseason games, as the Monarchs claimed the Calder Cup in their last season in the AHL.
On July 16, 2015, Crescenzi was signed as a restricted free agent to a one-year contract extension to remain within the Kings organization.

The asset-based economy is a post-industrial macroeconomic state of capitalism in which growth is based largely on appreciation of equity assets, typically financial instruments such as stocks, as well as real estate.
The term has been applied, often in a derogatory sense, to the economic conditions in the United States in the 2000s, during the recovery from the bursting of the dot-com bubble.
Overview
In an asset-based economy, manufacturing, as well as perhaps services, no longer provide the engine for growth. Rather the appreciation of assets leads to an increased net worth among individuals which, in the direct sense, can serve as collateral for borrowing, which in turn creates greater demand for goods and services. Proponents of the model often advocate reduction of tax rates in order to stimulate greater demand for assets, which in turn raises asset prices yielding even greater equity.
Critics of the asset-based economy contend that it is highly flawed because it depends on the continuation of low interest rates to stimulate the borrowing that will finance the purchase of assets at a rate sufficient to sustain the upward trend in asset prices. Thus, they reason, the model is highly vulnerable to the perhaps inevitable decreases in the real estate and financial markets.
Defenders of the model argue that the asset-based model need not be a permanent condition, but can be viewed as a stop-gap measure until demand for goods and services increases enough to sustain growth without low interest rates.

Penicillin (stylized as PENICILLIN) is a Japanese visual kei alternative rock band, formed in Tokyo in 1992.
History
Formed by friends at Tokai University in Tokyo, Japan on February 14, 1992. Penicillin began with Chisato on vocals, Gisho on bass, O-Jiro on drums and both Yuuji and Shaisuke on guitar. Before anything was recorded however the band's line-up changed to Hakuei on vocals, Gisho on bass, O-Jiro on drums and both Shaisuke and Chisato on guitar. Their name was taken from the punk rock group "Penicillin Shock" in the manga series To-y and they titled their first album, which was released in 1994 and produced by Kiyoshi of Media Youth, after the fictional band. Hakuei later stated that when the band started, he wanted to play hardcore punk in a violent and flashy style like Gastunk. To his recollection, the term "visual kei" did not exist when they formed, but Penicillin were quickly labeled as such. After their first album, Shaisuke left the band to join Deshabillz.
Penicillin made their major label debut in March 1996 with "Blue Moon" on Pioneer LDC. On July 25 and 26, they performed at the Nippon Budokan while still a new band. In 1997 they released Limelight, which was named one of the top albums from 1989-1998 in a 2004 issue of the music magazine Band Yarouze. Penicillin stayed on Pioneer until 1998 when they changed to East West Japan. Their sixth single "Romance" was released on January 15, 1998, and ranked within the top 10 on the Oricon chart for six consecutive weeks, selling over 900,000 copies. It was the opening theme of the Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san anime adaptation. After they were dropped by East West Japan they changed to Omega A.T. Music (an indie label) in 2001. Omega happens to be under Omega Project Holdings which Yoshiaki Kondou (Gisho) is the CEO of. However they were only on Omega for a year before being picked up by Hiboom, which was an indie subsidiary of Avex Trax. In 2005 when Hiboom was closed, they were picked up directly by Avex Trax and were once again on a major label.
On December 12, 2005, Penicillin celebrated its 15th anniversary as a band. On March 9, 2007, Gisho announced that he would leave the band. His last live was his birthday on May 20, 2007, at Shibuya O-East. Since then the band has continued on as a three piece unit. During the February 11, 2008, live, it was announced the Penicillin would once again change labels, this time to Nippon Crown.
In 2010, Penicillin established the independent record label That Records. The first release by the new label was their single "Rosetta" on August 4.
Penicillin's song "Romance" was covered by And on the compilation Crush! -90's V-Rock Best Hit Cover Songs-. The album was released on January 26, 2011, and features current visual kei bands covering songs from bands that were important to the '90s visual kei movement. It was also covered by Jui for the similar album Counteraction - V-Rock covered Visual Anime songs Compilation-, which was released on May 23, 2012, and features covers of songs by visual kei bands that were used in anime.
They covered "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride", from Lilo & Stitch, for the cover album V-Rock Disney, which was released on September 7, 2011, and features visual kei artists covering Disney songs.
Penicillin released their first cover album, Memories ~Japanese Masterpieces~ which is composed of songs by female singers, on March 18, 2015. The artwork for the album was drawn by Atsushi Kamijo, author of the manga from which the group took their name.

The Delhi International Queer Theater and Film Festival (DIQTFF), is a queer cultural festival curating films, plays, talks and performances (dance & drag). It is organised by a queer collective in Delhi called Harmless Hugs. The film festival is intended to connect with larger diaspora of the Indian LGBTQ struggle for equal human rights and to reach out to masses via omnipotence of Media, Theatre and Cinema. Movie screenings and plays are well complemented by a round of panel discussions and debates, including some of the biggest names from the Indian LGBTQ Movement. Discussions around tumultuous territories of politics, gender disparity, coming out and involvement of families and more will also be a part of this two-day event, that is happening every December since its initiation in 2015.
History
The Festival was created by Vinay Kumar (Founder Harmless Hugs). Harsh Agarwal (President 2015–16) served as the convener for first two editions.
The first edition of this queer festival was organised in 2015. It received support from High Commission of Canada in Delhi, along with Youth LEAD and GLIFAA.
The second edition of the festival in 2016 received support from Love Matters, High Commission of Canada, Impulse (AIDS Healthcare Foundation), SCRUFF and other organisations. The event received support Bollywood actors like Kalki, Kunal Kapoor while Piyush Mishra performed at the event.
The Third Edition was organised in 2017 with the support of Impulse (AIDS Healthcare Foundation) and several other organisations.

The Chief guest for the event was famous Bollywood actor and singer Piyush Mishra, who gave a performance too. In an interview with convener Harsh Aggarwal, he said, “I see no difference in the homosexual and heterosexual community. They have given me same respect, same love and affection that I get anywhere else I go. If there is something unnatural, the nature won't let it exist. It's the conflict of the nature and society which we now observe where society is calling nature unnatural which is ironic.”
The event was inaugurated by many notable personalities like Prince Manvendra, Jess Dutton (Deputy High Commissioner from Canada to India), Vithika Yadav (Country Head, Love Matters India) and Vinay Kumar (founder of Harmless Hugs). This festival was also supported by Bollywood actors like Kunal Kapoor and Kalki Koechlin through video message. The event also saw a photo exhibition by Katharina Domscheit D’souza. Besides, a free HIV testing and health awareness camp was organised by Impulse India, Project Samarth and Hamsafar Trust. Bismaya Kumar Raulo from Impulse New Delhi said "Stigma attached to sexual orientation and sexual preferences have been a major challenge in the society. Platforms like Delhi International Queer Theatre and Film Festival is a unique way to reach out to the society and advocate for equal rights for everyone regardless of sex, gender, and sexuality. It also gives an opportunity to the people who are in the closet and still fighting with their identity. Let's work together for a better and brighter future of the LGBTQIA community in India”

After rehearsing and composing original material alone for 18 months, Warpaint began performing regularly in Los Angeles and self-released their debut extended play, Exquisite Corpse, in August 2008.

She has also cited among her influences Jah Wobble's bass playing with PiL in her "list of all-time greats". She named Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees as one of her favorite voices of all time, saying, "I have a lot of respect for Siouxsie and she's given me a lot of inspiration over the years".

Legal issues
Her arrest on 26 June 2011 was the third since 2007. She was arrested for the first time in March 2007 along with 32 other women's rights activists while peacefully protesting the trial of five of her fellow women's rights activists in front of a Tehran court. She stayed in jail for 3 weeks. Mohammadi was also arrested in August 2009 at Behesht-e Zahra cemetery as she laid a wreath on the grave of Neda Agha-Soltan, the 26-year-old woman who was shot and killed by a sniper during the crackdowns on protests against the re-election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. She was arrested with a lot of people including famous director Jafar Panahi They were released after one day.
After her release on bail on 28 July 2011, also due to international pressure, Mahnaz Mohammadi continued under close state observation by Iranian intelligence, her passport was withheld by the court and the ban to work as a filmmaker has remained in place since 2009. Her home was repeatedly searched by intelligence, and her personal items, work equipment and film material have been regularly confiscated. Her health has severely deteriorated during her last detention.
On Saturday, June 7, 2014, the Iranian women's rights activist and filmmaker was again arrested. She has been sentenced to five years in prison for "endangering national security" and "propaganda against the Iranian regime." Iranian authorities have accused her of working for the BBC, a charge which apparently carries the assumption of espionage in the Iranian legal system. Mohammadi denies ever having worked with the network, and has stated that her interrogators tried pressuring her into admitting she had in exchange for leniency.
At the 64th Cannes Film Festival, filmmaker Costa-Gavras read a letter that Mohammadi sent from Tehran: "I am a woman and a film maker, two reasons sufficient to be treated like a criminal in this country"

Propebela spitzbergensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Description
The length of the shell varies between 7 mm and 20 mm.
(Original description) The characteristics of this species are close to Propebela rugulata; the relations between the spire and the aperture, are typical. This species differs, in its sculpture, in having a more projectant angle, which may occasionally pass into a sharp protuberant edge and in a somewhat more marked spiral striation. The operculum appears to be somewhat broader than the typical one. The teeth of the radula have a peculiar recess upon the one side; the form, otherwise, is the broad typical one. Out of 6 specimens examined, all showed the same uniform structure.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Spitzbergen.
