Cape St. Francis

Cape St. Francis () is a village in South Africa, situated on a headland in the Eastern Cape Province. It is popular for its clean beaches and as a surfing location.

The village is home to the Seal Point Lighthouse.

The Irma Booysen Floral Reserve is the home to many species of flowers and plants.

The adjacent village, St Francis Bay, was the site of "ten-million-to-one" surfing waves seen in the 1966 surf/travel documentary, The Endless Summer.

Cape St. Francis is now known as one of the best surfing locations. Given its geological location, it is susceptible to swell year round from large low pressure systems that form between Antarctica and the southern tip of Africa. When large south west swells wrap around Seal Point and the prevailing offshore winds come up, the surfing is world class.

It is also featured in the 2014 film The Perfect Wave, starring Scott Eastwood.

Bartolomeu Dias originally named the cape Ponta das Quiemadas because of the fires he spotted there while sailing past.

KUAC-TV

KUAC-TV (channel 9) is a PBS member television station in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States. Owned by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, it is sister to NPR member station KUAC (89.9 FM). The two outlets share studios in the Great Hall on the UAF campus; KUAC-TV's transmitter is located on Bender Mountain. KUAC-TV is the only PBS station in Alaska that is not part of Alaska Public Television, which was established on July 1, 2012.

History
KUAC-TV signed on for the first time on December 22, 1971, as an early Christmas present to the Interior. It was the first public television station in Alaska, and the only one until KAKM in Anchorage signed on in 1975. It originally aired for only five hours a day, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. As the difficulties associated with bringing PBS programming decreased, channel 9 increased its schedule, and now operates 24 hours a day.

In 1995, KUAC-TV joined with KTOO-TV in Juneau and KYUK-TV in Bethel to form AlaskaOne, a network of PBS stations serving all of Alaska outside of Anchorage. The three stations formed the Alaska Public Broadcasting Service to air a common PBS schedule. This move was made in hopes of sharing administrative costs. KTOO and KYUK occasionally broke off from the AlaskaOne feed to air programming relevant to their areas, while KUAC-TV used its massive translator network to deliver AlaskaOne programming across the Interior.

On November 18, 2011. the APBS board voted to transfer the operation of the AlaskaOne feed to Alaska Public Telecommunications, owner of Anchorage's PBS station, KAKM. In response, UAF, which cast the lone dissenting vote, announced on December 11 that KUAC-TV would break off from AlaskaOne and revert to being a separate locally-focused PBS station on July 1, 2012. UAF contended that a single statewide PBS service would not meet the needs of the Interior. On July 1, KUAC-TV resumed its original branding of "KUAC TV9," while KTOO and KYUK joined with KAKM to form Alaska Public Media.

Technical information

Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:

In 2004, the station signed on the first high-definition public television service in Alaska.

Analog-to-digital conversion
KUAC-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 9, in April 2009. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 24 to VHF channel 9.

CD publishing

CD publishing is the use of CD duplication systems to create a large number of unique discs.  For instance, storing a unique serial number on each copy of a software application disc would be considered CD publishing.

The term CD publishing is believed to have been coined by the Rimage Corporation as part of a marketing program which referred to CD-R discs as "digital paper."  Automated disc production and printing systems, such as those made by Rimage, can be shared on a computer network much like an office printer to facilitate the creation of unique discs.  This is the root of both the digital paper and CD publishing terms.

The extension into CD publishing is a distinct advantage of CD duplication systems over traditional CD replication - where large quantities of identical discs must be made.

Helen Denman

Helen Jennifer Denman (born 4 September 1976) is an Australian breaststroke swimmer of the 1990s, who won a silver medal in the 4×100-metre medley relay at the 1996 Summer Olympics. She won an individual silver medal in the 100-metre breaststroke at the 1998 World Aquatics Championships.

Denman qualified for her first international team at the Australian Championships in 1996, after winning the 100-metre breaststroke.
At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Denman placed 11th in the 100-metre breaststroke, but fellow Australian Samantha Riley won the bronze medal. This meant that Denman swum the breaststroke leg in the heats of the 4×100-metre medley relay, before being replaced by Riley in the team that trailed the United States team home in the final.

Competing in front of a partisan home crowd at the 1998 World Championships in Perth, Denman set a personal best in winning silver in the 100-metre breaststroke, pushing American Kristy Kowal to within an arm's length. She also combined with Meredith Smith, Petria Thomas and Susie O'Neill in the final of the 4×100-metre medley relay to claim silver behind the Americans.

At the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Denman claimed gold in the 100 m breaststroke and the 4×100-metre medley relay. In 1999 she was omitted from the Australian national team, and in 2000 she made an unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.

Langostino

Langostino is a Spanish word with different meanings in different areas. In the United States, it is commonly used in the restaurant trade to refer to the meat of the squat lobster, which is neither a true lobster nor a prawn. Squat lobsters are more closely related to porcelain and hermit crabs.  Crustaceans labeled as langostino are no more than  long, and weigh no more than . Langostinos are not langoustes (spiny lobsters) despite a similar name (in Spanish, lobster is called ). Also, langostinos are sometimes confused with langoustines (Norway lobster).

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration allows "langostino" to be used as a market name for three species of squat lobster in the family Galatheidae: Cervimunida johni, Munida gregaria, and Pleuroncodes monodon. In Spain, it means some species of prawns. In Cuba and other Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands, the name langostino is also used to refer to crawfish. In Argentina the name is used to refer to Pleoticus muelleri, a kind of shrimp, while in Chile and Peru it refers to Pleuroncodes monodon.

Restaurant labeling controversies 
In March 2006, Long John Silver's garnered controversy by offering a dish they called "Buttered Lobster Bites" without making it clear in its advertising that these were made from "langostino lobster." The Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into deceptive advertising practices by the chain, because Food and Drug Administration regulations require that anyone marketing langostino as lobster must place the qualifier "langostino" adjacent to the word "lobster," and Long John Silver's not only failed to do this, but ran a television commercial making use of an American lobster in a manner that the commission concluded was contributing to the misperception that the product was American lobster.

Upon being contacted by the commission, Long John Silver's promptly terminated the television commercial campaigns, revised its website, and committed both to prominently placing the word "langostino" adjacent to the term "lobster" in all future advertising, and to revising its existing in-store materials accordingly within eight weeks, and on June 24, 2009, the commission wrote to the chain to inform them that they had no intention of taking further action at that time.

Rubio's Restaurants, Inc., settled a 2006 class-action lawsuit for selling "lobster burritos" and "lobster tacos" that were in fact made with squat lobster. The company agreed to change the name to "langostino lobster".

In February 2016, Red Lobster was revealed to have been using a mix of lobster and less-expensive langostino for its lobster bisque.

Palmer National Bank of Washington, D.C.

The Palmer National Bank  was a bank headquartered in Washington, D.C. In 1996, it was acquired by George Mason Bankshares Inc. At that time, it had 3 branches and 1 office.

The bank's connections to the leadership of the Republican Party led to it becoming a favored financial institution for conservative political action committees during the 1980s. The bank's clientele included the National Conservative Political Action Committee and the political action committees of Senator Bob Dole of Kansas and Representative Jack Kemp of New York.

As part of the Iran-Contra scandal, Oliver North used the bank to funnel money to a Swiss bank account and ultimately to the Contras.

History
The bank was founded on June 1, 1983 by Harvey McLean, Jr., a real estate developer from Dallas, Texas who served as the Southern finance chairman in the 1980 Presidential campaign of George H. W. Bush, and Stefan Halper, former Deputy United States Assistant Secretary of State.

It was initially funded with $2.8 million from Herman K. Beebe, a businessman from Shreveport, Louisiana.

From 1983 to 1990, Halper served as chairman of the bank. He was replaced by Webb Hayes IV.

In 1996, the bank was acquired by George Mason Bankshares Inc. for $15.6 million in stock. George Mason Bankshares was acquired by United Bank in 1998.

Laboulbeniomycetes

The Laboulbeniomycetes are a unique group of fungi that are obligatorily associated with arthropods, either as external parasites (Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales) or for dispersal (Pyxidiophorales). 

Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales fungi are minute; their fruiting bodies, referred to as thalli, commonly measure less than one millimeter. They live on the antennae, the mouthparts or other body regions of their arthropod hosts. Although several species of Laboulbeniomycetes have more or less extensive, root-like hyphal systems (haustoria) inside their hosts, as a group these fungi are relatively harmless to their hosts. These fungi occur usually only on adult hosts; apparently immature arthropods eliminate them during ecdysis (adult arthropods no longer molt). Some thallus-forming species are dioecious, that is, they have separate female and male individuals, like Herpomyces (in the order Herpomycetales).

Maliana

Maliana is a city in East Timor, 149 kilometers southwest of Dili, the national capital. It has a population of 22,000. It is the capital of the district of Bobonaro and Maliana Subdistrict, and is located just a few kilometers from the border with Indonesia. It is also the see city of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maliana, which was formed by Pope Benedict XVI with territory taken from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dili.

Maliana an important agriculture sector, especially rice production. The majority of Maliana's population is heavily dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, this is because rice became the preferred staple food among many Timorese. Most of the population are farmers cultivating rice and maize. During Indonesian occupation, Maliana became a rice barn town to support other districts in East Timor, and export to other places in Western Timor of Indonesia.

Maliana has seven villages consisting of Lahomea, Holsa, Ritabou, Odomau, Raifun, Tapo-Memo and Saburai. There are two main sources of water irrigation that supply water to paddy fields such Bulobu River, Nunura River, Malibaka and Bui Pira river. Bunak and Kemak are the native dialects of Maliana but most people understand and speak Tetum.
Maliana had one of the preferred schools during Portuguese occupation, known as Collegio Infante sagres. This was under a catholic mission and many East Timor educated people have graduated from this senior high School.

The citizens of Maliana were instrumental to the Australian army between 1999 and 2001, during the UNTAET operation. Employed as "Locally Employed Civilians" by a small contingent from the 110th Signals Squadron, the people of Maliana provided domestic support, as well as local intelligence regarding the threat of Indonesian militia to the soldiers and civilian contractors working in the area.

Australian newsman Greg Shackleton and his colleagues (the "Balibo Five") filed news reports from Maliana (then in Portuguese Timor) shortly before their fateful trip to Balibo in October, 1975.

Barsa (encyclopedia)

Barsa is a Brazilian encyclopedia, first published in 1964.  It was later translated into Spanish and sold across much of Latin America. It is widely known in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela and Mexico. It has printed versions in Portuguese and Spanish with nine volumes each and 2,842 pages. Barsa also has a multimedia version.

Conceived in 1959, by Dorita Barrett, daughter of an American Encyclopedia Britannica executive, Barsa was the first Brazilian encyclopedia developed by a Brazilian editorial board formed, among other  people, by the encyclopedist and translator Antonio Houaiss, the writer Jorge Amado, the architect Oscar Niemeyer, and the journalist and writer Antônio Callado as the chief editor of the first edition. 

The name Barsa is a combination of the surnames of the couple Dorita Barrett (Bar) and her husband, the then Brazilian diplomat, Alfredo de Almeida Sá (Sa). Until then, the Brazilian market could only find encyclopedias in English, German or French. Dorita, living in Brazil, refused the idea of promoting a translation into Portuguese of the original Encyclopedia Britannica. Barsa's first edition was launched in March 1964. The initial batch, of 45 thousand copies, sold out in 8 months.

Barsa encyclopedia operations were bought by Editorial Planeta in 2000.

Qumu Corporation

Qumu Corporation provides an enterprise video platform that creates, manages, secures, distributes and measures the success of live and on-demand video within the enterprise. Common use cases for the company’s products include executive webcasts, virtual events, employee collaboration and training. The Qumu platform is offered in three implementation types: cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS), on-premises, and hybrid. Originally focused on Global 2000 companies with high security, reliability and global video delivery requirements, in 2020 Qumu began providing its SaaS products to small and medium enterprises as video became core to operations in smaller businesses. The company’s customer base includes organizations in six verticals markets: banking and finance, health and life science, professional services, manufacturing, telecommunications, and government.

History

Qumu was founded in 2002, when Yahoo! purchased the dot-com era search engine company Inktomi. As part of that transaction, Yahoo received a technology for managing and publishing video assets called Media Publisher, originally developed by eScene. Two entrepreneurs and former eScene executives approached Yahoo with an offer for the Media Publisher product. They spent the next six years developing it into an enterprise video platform and renamed the company Qumu in 2008.

In 2014, Qumu acquired London-based video platform provider Kulu Valley and rebranded their video platform as Qumu Cloud.

In October 2015, Qumu named Vern Hanzlik President and CEO. Hanzlik was a founder of content management technology company Stellent, which sold to Oracle for $440 million in 2006.

In July 2020, Qumu appointed technology executive TJ Kennedy as Chief Executive Officer.

In September 2020, Qumu launched its Zoom app.

Qumu was acquired by TSX-listed company Enghouse Systems Ltd in an all-cash deal worth million in February 2023.

Sesame seed cake

Sesame seed cake () is a cake made of sesame seeds, often combined with honey as a sweetener. The cake is round and is brown in color with sesame seeds sprinkled evenly on the surface of the cake.  Although there are several variations, it is quite similar to the Huangqiao sesame cake (simplified Chinese: 黄桥烧饼).

History 
During the Tang Dynasty, Arab traders would travel between China and the West, spreading their Islamic culture including religion and cuisine. Chinese converts thus became known as the Hui people (Huízú), who are associated with this street food for their historical Islamic influences. The earliest record of shao bing was seen in a Chinese historical text, Zīzhì Tōngjiàn (“Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government”), a pioneering reference work in Chinese historiography in the form of a chronicle.

Société Française de Psychanalyse

The Société Française de Psychanalyse (SFP) was a French psychoanalytic professional body formed in 1953, in a split from the main body of French psychoanalysts, the Société Parisienne de Psychanalyse (SPP).

The SFP was eventually dissolved in 1965, its resources and membership being split between the two new bodies, the Association Psychanalytique de France (APF), and the École Freudienne de Paris (EFP), founded by Jacques Lacan.

Foundation

The early 1950s were a time of growing disagreements within the SPP, mainly centred on the question of the training of analysts. Despite wishing himself to avoid a split, Lacan was drawn into the dissident movement led by Daniel Lagache, as a result of his own separate dispute with the president Sacha Nacht over his practice of "short sessions".
 
After a year of disagreements and a vote of no confidence, five members of the SPP resigned from the body in June 1953. These five were Lacan, Lagache, Dolto, Favez-Boutonnier and Reverchon-Jouve.

Unfortunately, an unexpected by-product of the split was to deprive the new group, who termed themselves the Société Française de Psychanalyse (SFP), of membership of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), to which they now had to seek out affiliation.

Affiliation
Over the following years a complex process of negotiation was to take place to determine the status of the SFP within the IPA. Lacan’s practice, with his controversial innovation of variable-length sessions, and the critical stance he took towards much of the accepted orthodoxy of psychoanalytic theory and practice was a central stumbling-block to recognition of the new society.

Eventually, in August 1963, a condition was set by the IPA that the registration of the SFP was dependent upon Lacan being removed from the list of training analysts with the organisation: as he himself put it, “this affiliation is to be accepted only if a guarantee is given that my teaching may never again be sanctioned by the Association as far as the training of analysts is concerned”.

Lacan refused such a condition and left the SFP together with many of its members in June 1964 to set up the EFP independently of the IPA. The remaining membership of the SFP, including many of Lacan's own pupils such as Jean Laplanche, were to be recognised by the IPA the following year as part of a new body, the APF.

Outcome

Elisabeth Roudinesco concluded that “the 1963-4 break was as disastrous for the IPA as it was for the development of Lacanianism”.
