Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe
Virginia Clemm was born in 1822 to parents William Clemm and his spouse (wife) Maria Poe. Virginia's father William died when she was still little.
In 1829, when Virginia's first cousin Edgar Allan Poe, the infamous American poet, fell into poverty he moved into his aunt's house, where he met Virginia, then seven years old. Over the years, Edgar liked Virginia. He decided that he wanted to marry her in the summer of 1835, when she was 13, and he was 26. (This is only known through letters he wrote to his aunt Maria). Even though it habeen disputed when exactly when Edgar and Virginia got married (due to lack of records), it is known that they were already married shortly before Virginia turned 14. This means Edgar and Virginia got married in either 1835 or 1836.
Virginia's husband Edgar realized she had great talent in singing and encouraged her to sing songs.
In 1841, Virginia began to cough frequently, especially while she sung songs to her husband and mother.
Despite that, her husband Edgar, encouraged her to continue singing songs. The coughing continued for a while.
By the middle of January 1842, while Virginia was singing, she coughed out some of her blood. At first, Edgar was very little concerned, but when the coughing got worse and more blood came out over time, Edgar got really concerned. Virginia was taken to a physician who diagnosed her with having tuberculosis. Upon hearing this, Edgar later moved her to the countryside hoping the nature over there would ease Virginia's pain. Virginia stayed in the countryside for around seven months, only to become weaker and much more ill during this time. On or around the 29th of January 1847, Virginia was so weak and ill that she was starting to die.
Virginia died the next day on the 30th of January 1847, at the age of 24.
Her body was buried in the nearby cemetery.

New York City (painting)
"The Guardian" states that the painting was first shown at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City in 1945. The Netherlands Institute for Art History has no record of this exhibition, and says that the painting was first shown at the Valentine Gallery in New York City in 1946 for about three weeks. The estate of Piet Mondrian in New York City owned the painting until they sold it to the city's Sidney Janis Gallery in 1958. It was then briefly in the hands of Galerie Beyeler in Basel, Switzerland, in 1980. Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen bought it later that same year.
After the issue was pointed out, a number of people stated that the error was obvious. Because the work is very fragile, the museum decided to keep the painting oriented upside down. Changing the orientation of the painting might have caused parts of it to disintegrate; the adhesive used has deteriorated, some of the tapes are "hanging by a thread".

Midcourse Space Experiment
The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) is a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) satellite experiment (unmanned space mission) to map bright infrared sources in space. MSX offered the first system demonstration of technology in space to identify and track ballistic missiles during their midcourse flight phase.
On 24 April 1996, the BMDO launched the MSX satellite on a Delta II booster from Vandenberg AFB, California. MSX was placed in a sun-synchronous orbit at 898 km and an inclination of 99.16 degrees. MSX's mission was to gather data in three spectral bands (long wavelength infrared, visible, and ultraviolet).
From 13 May 1998, MSX became a giving sensor to the Space Surveillance Network.
Lottie Williams was exercising in a park in Tulsa on January 22, 1997, when she was hit in the shoulder by a piece of blackened metallic material. U.S., Space Command confirmed that a used Delta II rocket from the April 1996 launch of the Midcourse Space Experiment had crashed into the atmosphere 30 minutes earlier. The object tapped her on the shoulder and fell off harmlessly onto the ground. Williams collected the item and NASA tests later showed that the piece was matching up with the materials of the rocket, and Nicholas Johnson, the agency's chief scientist for orbital debris, believes that she was in fact hit by a piece of the rocket.
Calibration of MSX created a challenge for designers of the experiment, as baselines (measures of what occurs naturally) did not exist for the bands it would be observing under. Engineers solved the problem by having MSX fire projectiles of known composition in front of the detector, and calibrating the instruments to the known black-body curves of the objects. The MSX calibration serves as the basis for other satellites working in the same wavelength range, including AKARI (2006-2011) and the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST).
MSX data is now available in the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) given by NASA's Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC). Group efforts between the Air Force Research Laboratory and IPAC has resulted in an archive containing images for about 15 percent of the sky, including the whole Galactic Plane, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and areas of the sky missed by IRAS.

All Saints Roman Catholic School, York
The All Saints Roman Catholic School, in Yorkshire, England, is made up of two schools in York. It has been said to be the best Catholic school in the North. The Upper School is for years 10-13 and contains the Sixth Form. The Lower Site is for years 7-9. The School was created in 1686. As it is the only Catholic school in the city of York, it is very important for Catholic teachings in the city.
All Saints is primarily a school for Catholic children from York and Yorkshire. However, it does accept students from other faiths and belief backgrounds.
When All Saints first opened in 1686, it was the first Catholic school to teach girls in Britain.
300 years ago, a group of angry locals threatened to rob the school and its convent, however it is said that Saint Michael appeared on a white horse with a large sword and scared them away.
During the 1800s, an additional building was built.
In 1925, the school became a grammar school.
During the Blitz in 1942, the school was bombed.
During the mid-1970s, the school began admitting boys. It then became a secondary school in 1985. This is also when the upper school building was purchased to accommodate the larger number of students.
The school was set up in 1920 in the original Manor building and stables, which was built in 1850 for Charles Heneage Elsley Esq., J.P. and Recorder of York.
In 1965, a plan was proposed to merge Mill Mount with Nunthorpe Grammar School to become a sixth form college. However, this plan did not succeed, and the site was sold to All Saints RC School.
In 1985 due to discussions on the reorganization of York's Catholic schools, St George's Secondary school closed. The school was merged into All Saints RC School, instead.
There have been three headteachers since 1985:
All Saints is the only Catholic secondary school in the area, it accepts students from all over Yorkshire. The school has links with English Martyrs Church, which is located 300 meters from the upper site. Every year, the whole school celebrates All Saints Day in the Minster.
The school has recently wanted to relocate to meet the demands of all its students, so in March 2022, local MP Rachael Maskell raised the subject of the school building's in the House of Commons. After this, the school was granted some money as part of the school rebuilding programme.
In 2022, 70% of pupils achieved a strong pass or above in GCSE English and Maths.
Almost 50% of the sixth forms' A level grades were at A* or A.
In November 2022, the school achieved the fifth position in northern schools ranking. It also managed first place in the Northern Comprehensive School, northern Catholic School and York Secondary School categories.

With the exception of two cities, the tickets for the concerts were sold only on , which is owned by Live Nation Entertainment. Because a lot of people tried to buy tickets to the concert, the website had a lot of issues and it was very hard to get tickets. They said "the site was unprepared to accommodate the sheer force of hundreds of thousands of Swift fans" and that hundreds of thousands of tickets were sold. Some congresspeople, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Amy Klobuchar, said that Ticketmaster violated competition laws. The United States Department of Justice started investigating Ticketmaster.
The Eras Tour Los Angeles concert at SoFi Stadium was recorded and made into a movie. It is going to be played at movie theaters in North America for four weekends starting on October 13, 2023. It was directed by Sam Wrench.

Municipal borough
Municipal boroughs were a type of local government district which existed in England and Wales between 1835 and 1974, in Northern Ireland from 1840 to 1973 and in the Republic of Ireland from 1840 to 2002. There were similar structures in Scotland from 1833 to 1975.
There were boroughs in England and Wales since the middle ages. In 1833 a Royal Commission investigated them. 263 towns in England and Wales had some form of corporation. The Municipal Corporations Act 1835 reformed the government of towns. It set up municipal boroughs. They each had an elected town council, with a mayor, aldermen and councillors. To vote in the elections voters had to own property in the area. The councillors were directly elected for a three-year term, If there were more than 6,000 people the area was divided into wards with separate elections held in each ward each year. There were then 178 municipal boroughs.
The smaller boroughs which had not been reformed were mostly abolished in the 1880s by the Municipal Corporations Act 1883, except for the City of London Corporation.
The Local Government Act 1888 created county councils across England and Wales. Boroughs were divided into two sorts, with some becoming county boroughs which were entirely self-governing and independent from county councils.
There were over 200 municipal boroughs in 1974 when they were abolished by the Local Government Act 1972. In England, they were replaced by metropolitan or non-metropolitan districts and in Wales by districts.
Similar things happened in Ireland under British rule. The Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 set up the six largest cities - Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Limerick, Derry and Waterford as county boroughs.
Adam (murder victim)
"Adam" was the name police gave to an unidentified boy whose torso was discovered in the River Thames in London, United Kingdom, on 21 September 2001. The child was between four and eight years old. Investigators believe the child was likely from southwestern Nigeria, and that several days before his murder, he had been trafficked to the United Kingdom for a ritual sacrifice. As of 2023, nobody has been charged with Adam's murder, and his true identity remains unknown. When he was found, the boy was wearing orange girls' shorts.
An examination done after the death of the boy found that he had been poisoned. His throat had been slit, likely to drain blood from his body. Also, his head and limbs had been removed. The boy likely came from a region of southwestern Nigeria near Benin City known as the birthplace of voodoo. Police think the boy may have been killed in a voodoo practice known as muti.

Taylor Swift decided to be a country singer when she watched a movie about Faith Hill. She wanted to move to Nashville, Tennessee because it is known as the home of country music.
She started making some songs to see if record labels would like them. She eventually joined Big Machine Records. She moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee because it is close to Nashville. She was one of the first people to be in Big Machine Records.

The full album came out on October 24, 2006 in the United States and Canada. It came out on March 18, 2008 for the rest of the world.
Most critics liked the album "Taylor Swift". Some said the lyrical themes were childish and didn't have depth. Most said Swift's songwriting was good and used popular skills in a way that sounded new. On Metacritic, the album got 67 out of 100 points, based on five reviews.
In the United States, "Taylor Swift" didn't chart high at first. It became more popular over time. In its first week, it went to number 19 on the "Billboard" 200 chart and sold 40,000 copies. Because albums often drop in sales after they come out, Swift did not think it would stay on the chart for a long time: "I would be incredibly lucky to see this album certified Gold." She was wrong, however, and "Taylor Swift" kept selling a similar amount each week. By November 2007, the album had sold over a million copies.
At its highest, "Taylor Swift" was at number 14 on the Canadian Albums Chart and was certified Platinum by Music Canada (MC).

Originally 2 finals were planned, but Rapid and Austria agreed shortly before the first leg to only play one final in the Hanappi Stadium - Reasons: Austria wanted to play both games in the Hanappi Stadium for financial reasons, but this resulted in massive protests from their own supporters.

Ward (electoral subdivision)
A ward is a local government area, mostly used for elections.
In some countries, wards are given names. It is common in the United States for wards to simply be numbered. In Ireland they are called electoral divisions. In Australia, some local government areas (LGAs) have wards; some of them are numbered and others have names. Most Australian wards elect multiple members, but some (such as those of the Brisbane City Council) elect only one member per ward.
The word "ward" seems have first been used in the City of London in the the 11th century. There are now 25 wards there, all very small.
In Australia, some local government areas (LGAs) have wards. Most of these are multi-member wards, but some are single-member wards. Some wards are named, while others are numbered. Most LGAs that have wards are in cities.
The Brisbane City Council, the council that governs the City of Brisbane (the LGA representing most of Brisbane) but acting rather like a state parliament, has 26 single-member wards. These wards elect 26 of the 27 councillors; the remaining seat is held by the Lord Mayor who is directly elected.
The Local Government Boundary Commissions change the wards quite often, especially in cities, to try and keep the numbers fair. This can make it hard to keep track of statistics over time.
Great Norwegian Encyclopedia
The Great Norwegian Encyclopedia or Store Norske Leksikon (SNL) is an online encyclopedia in Norwegian. It is one of the most popular Norwegian websites with over two million visitors each month. SNL was created in 1978 when two publishing houses, Aschehoug and Gyldendal, merged their encyclopedias. Before 1978, they had published their own encyclopedias. The online version of SNL was launched in 2000 and became free to use in 2009. In 2010, Kunnskapsforlaget, the company that owned SNL, announced that they would close the online encyclopedia due to lack of funds. In 2011, two groups called Fritt Ord and Sparebankstiftelsen DNB bought the encyclopedia. In 2014, they made an association with members from universities and non-profit groups. In 2016, they hired a new chief editor, Erik Bolstad.
Platymantis diesmosi
The Mount Malinao forest frog ("Platymantis diesmosi") is a frog. It lives in the Philippines on Luzon Island. People have seen it in the forest between 900 and 1160 meters above sea level.
The adult male frog is about 28.3-39.1 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog isabout 49.8-52.7 mm long. Unlike other frogs in "Platymantis", it does not climb trees much. Instead it lives on the ground. It does have disks on its toes for climbing, but they are smaller than the disks of other frogs in "Platymantis". This frog is dark brown in color with a white mark between its eyes. The tops of its legs are lighter brown with black marks. The iris of the eye is gold in color on top and darker gold on the bottom.
This frog lives in the place where water flows into the Tiwi River. This is where the people in the town of Tiwi get their drinking water. This means that the frog and the people need the same water to be clean.
This frog is in danger of dying out. This is because humans change the places where the frog lives. They build farms and cut down trees so animals can eat grass.

Vasilissa, Holy Martyr (300309) was a small child when martyred, suffering in Nicomedia not long after the death of Anthimus. According to the Russian Orthodox tradition, the torturers covered her whole body with wounds, but she remained faithful to Christ. She was also tortured with fire and was before wild beasts, yet remained unscathed. Her torturer, Alexander, seeing those wonders, repented and became a Christian. Vasilissa went out into a field, fell on her knees and prayed to God, thanking Him for her endurance under torture, and, while thus praying, gave her soul into God's hands.
She died in 309 in Nicomedia.

Countryliner
Countryliner was a bus company in Uckfield in England. It was big, running more than fifty bus services mostly in Sussex. The company closed on the 18th of January 2013 under a new bus operating licence called SwiftBus Limited that was before that known as the RJB (UK) Limited licence. The main Countryliner company closed on the 8th of October 2012.
The Countryliner company got involved in a Surrey County Council public inquiry which asked people what they thought about Countryliner. Countryliner was in quite a lot of debt, so they paid it as much of it off to try and stop the company from closing. Sadly, the company got closed because their buses had high M.O.T. failures.
Countryliner's buses went to Sunray Travel when Sunray Travel started to drive service 479 Guildford-Epsom commercially.
Countryliner used a mixture of Plaxton Pointer Dennis Darts, MAN 12.220 MCV Evolutions, Optare Excels, Plaxton Premieres and more for their bus and school services.

Apache Hadoop is a collection of open-source software tools, that speeds up the processing of very large amounts of data by distributing it to multiple computers.
Its core consists of:
The distributed nature of Hadoop means that processing:
HDFS is also used for other projects such as the Apache NoSQL Wide Column Store, Apache HBase.
Reading and writing to and from disk for each transformation means that Hadoop MapReduce is slower for most pipelines than Apache Spark which uses RAM rather than disk and also runs within the Hadoop ecosystem. Spark may cost more in terms of resources such as memory and CPU.
Available to work alongside HDFS and Hadoop MapReduce are other Apache tools in the Hadoop ecosystem, such as:

Prosecution of Donald Trump in New York
On March 30, 2023, Donald Trump, president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. It is alleged that he paid hush money to pornographic movie actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 United States presidential election. ("Hush money" is a bribe to maintain secrecy - to prevent bad publicity or to prevent the discovery of a crime.) The "Hush" money was actually apart of an agreement that was meant to be secret, and the money was to make sure that it was agreed upon, not bribing.
Trump became the first former U.S. president to be indicted and to face criminal and felony charges. He was the first president to be arrested since Ulysses S. Grant was arrested in 1872.
In 2021, Alvin Bragg was elected Manhattan District Attorney. In February 2022, the two prosecutors that were leading the investigation of Trump, quit their jobs. Those two - Mark F. Pomerantz and Carey Dunne - said that Bragg was not pursuing charges against Trump aggressively enough.
On April 4, 2023, Trump's motorcade drove him to the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse. As he went into the courthouse, he was arrested. Trump was formally placed under arrest without being handcuffed or having a mugshot taken. Trump came into the courtroom an hour later, and got 34 felony charges of falsifying business records. However, media says that each charge can range from a misdemeanor to a felony. Trump pleaded not guilty to all the charges. After the court hearing, Trump traveled by plane back home to Florida. In the evening, he met with and spoke to a crowd of supporters.
A date for the start of a trial, has been set (as of February 2024).
The indictment has been unsealed and published by New York Supreme Court, but it does not show or reveal the district attorney's specific legal theory behind the case.
