Hard to Make a Stand

"Hard to Make a Stand" is the third single from Sheryl Crow's self-titled second album (1996). It was released by A&M as a single only in Europe, Canada, Japan, and South Africa. The track caused controversy in the US due to its references to abortion. The music video for the song, directed by Matthew Amos, is taken from a live performance in London. A live performance of this song is featured on Sheryl Crow's 2006 concert DVD: Wildflower Tour, Live from New York.

Critical reception
Kevin Courtney from Irish Times commented, "'Hard to Make a Stand' is another just bog standard country rock tune, but somehow Ms Crow manages to turn it into a sparkling, rhinestone encrusted pop hit. This one faithfully follows the path of its predecessor, 'Everyday Is a Winding Road', offering nothing new except another chance to see the 1990s Linda Ronstadt do her cowgirl routine on video."

Summer Shakespeare Festival

The Summer Shakespeare Festival (, ) takes place in the courtyard of Burgrave Palace at Prague Castle. The festival was originally initiated by Václav Havel. The performances are also presented at Špilberk in Brno and at Bratislava Castle in Bratislava. The organizers closely cooperate with Martin Hilský, who translated most of the staged plays.

So far, the most acclaimed was the performance of King Lear in 2002. In 2004, director Martin Huba was selected for an ambitious project, a performance of Romeo and Juliet such as that one evening Capulets would be Slovaks and Monteks Czechs and the next day vice versa. The project failed, Huba said to the media that even though the dialogs translated by Ľubomír Feldek and Martin Hilský were perfect, they somehow did not fit together. In the end, the only Slovak-speaking character was the Nurse, performed by Emília Vášáryová.

Selected performances 

 2002 – King Lear (Lear: Jan Tříska, directed by Martin Huba) 
 2003 – Hamlet (Hamlet: Jiří Langmajer, directed by Lucie Bělohradská)  
 2004 – Romeo and Juliet (Romeo: Jiří Hájek / Ladislav Hampl, Juliet: Kateřina Čapková / Zuzana Vejvodová, Nurse: Emília Vášáryová, directed by Martin Huba)   
 2005 – Twelfth Night, or What You Will (Viola: Jitka Schneiderová / Zuzana Vejvodová, Olivia: Linda Rybová / Hana Ševčíková, Feste: Jiří Langmajer / Miroslav Táborský, Malvolio: Alois Švehlík / Jan Vlasák, directed by Viktor Polesný)

Everyday Is a Winding Road

"Everyday Is a Winding Road" is the second single from American singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow's 1996 eponymous album. Neil Finn, lead singer of Crowded House, provides backing vocals. Paul Hester, another member of Crowded House, was the inspiration for the song. The single was issued in the United Kingdom in November 1996 and was released in the United States the following year.

The single was well-received on the radio and peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and became Crow's fourth and final number-one single in Canada. The song received a nomination for Record of the Year at the 1998 Grammy Awards, losing to "Sunny Came Home" by Shawn Colvin. Billboard and The Guardian both named it as Crow's second-best song.

A music video for this song was directed by Peggy Sirota and filmed in New York City in sepia tone. It features a toy airplane flying from person to person throughout the city.

Criticism
Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said the song "blatantly swipes" from the Rolling Stones' song "Sympathy for the Devil".

Guglionesi

Guglionesi (; local dialect:   or  ) is a town and comune in Molise, southern Italy, about  from Campobasso.

History 
Founded in the 5th century BC, at the time it was known as Uscosium or Usconium and together with Pescara, Ortona, Lanciano, Vasto and Larino, it was one of the most important centers of the Frentani, an Italic people that was part of the Samnites confederations.

Thanks to its strategic position along the Via Frentana-Traiana, Usconium became, towards the end of the Republican Era, a municipium, reaching a population of some 25,000 inhabitants.

Usconium was located between Monte Antico and Monte Capraro, where Guglionesi is now found. Its inhabitants depended on the nearby Pagus Collis Nisii or Collenisyus ("Hill of Bacchus"), a hill fort in which they sheltered after the town's destruction by the Goths.

In 412 AD, Colleniso became New Usconium and was encircled by protective walls in the Longobardo period. After that, the most important fortification was raised in the 9th century, when Robert Guiscard took hold of the city. In that period eighteen watchtowers and two castles were erected. The first castle (named "of head" because it was in a higher position than the others, subsequently called "of foot") was located along Via Capitano Verri, where its ruins can still be seen today. The second castle is in Castellara. After the destruction of the second castle, the Convent of the Cappuccini was constructed upon what was left of the castle foundations.

In t801 AD, Colleniso was submitted to the Duke of Spoleto, and endured various incursions by Saracen raiders. In the 1137 AD. it endured pillage from Lotarius, emperor of the Roman Empire. In 1315 King Robert of Anjou gave Collenisio to his brother Peter, Count of Gravina, and at his death, his daughter Agnese inherited the city. In 1340 she founded the Certosa of Saint Giovanni Battista, also known as Porta del Paradiso (The Heaven’s door) where the Hermitage of Saint John is now found. During this time the city was repeatedly invaded; its name was also changed from Colleniso to Guillonisi.

In 1496, after the death of René of Anjou, his cousin Charles VIII of France descended to Italy with a large army and conquered Naples. The French entered Guillonisi (only by the betrayal of the guards of the Frentan door) and plundered the entire village, demolished the two castles and the towers and killed or raped most of the people. Another invasion occurred in the 16th century by the Turks, who set fire, among other things, to the church of Saint Maria Maggiore, and consequently the relics of St. Adam housed in the church were destroyed and lost.

Transportation 
Guglionesi was served by a railway station, the Guglionesi-Portocannone railway station on the Termoli-Campobasso and Termoli–Venafro line, but the station has been closed for a few years and does not have passenger service.
Nowadays there are a lot of pulman to Termoli, to the industrial zone, to Castelmauro or Campobasso.

Great Palace Mosaic Museum

The Great Palace Mosaic Museum (), is located close to Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul, Turkey, at Arasta Bazaar. The museum houses mosaics from the Byzantine period, unearthed at the site of the Great Palace of Constantinople.

History
The museum hosts the mosaics used to decorate the pavement of a peristyle court, dating possibly to the reign of Byzantine emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565), although more recent analysis suggests a later date during the reign of Heraclius. It was uncovered by British archaeologists from the University of St Andrews in Scotland during extensive excavations at the Arasta Bazaar in Sultan Ahmet Square in 1935–1938 and 1951–1954. The area formed part of the south-western area of the Great Palace, and the excavations discovered a large peristyle courtyard, with a surface of 1872 m², entirely decorated with mosaics. It was at this point that the Austrian Academy of Sciences, supervised by Prof. Dr. Werner Jobst, undertook to study and preserve the famous palace mosaic and to carry out additional archeological examinations (1983–1997) within the scope of a cooperative project with the Directorate General of Monuments and Museums in Turkey.

The subject matter of the mosaics range from a Dionysian procession (the elephant and woman with a jug to many combat scenes featuring both human and non-human animal fighters. Intermixed are also various animals, including lions, eagles, snakes, and even multiple versions of the griffin.

Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech

Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech (formerly Clarke School for the Deaf) is a national nonprofit organization that specializes in educating children who are deaf or hard of hearing using listening and spoken language (oralism) through the assistance of hearing technology such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Clarke's five campuses serve more than 1,000 students annually in Canton, Massachusetts, Jacksonville, Florida, New York City, Northampton, Massachusetts, and Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.  Clarke is the first and largest organization of its kind in the U.S.  Its Northampton campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.

Introduction 

Clarke School for the Deaf was founded in 1867 in Northampton, Massachusetts, as the first permanent oral school for the deaf in the United States. In the first quarter of 2010, Clarke announced the new name from Clarke School for the Deaf to Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. 

In the present day, Clarke's operates from five locations:
 Clarke Boston in Canton, Massachusetts
 Clarke Florida in Jacksonville, Florida
 Clarke New York in New York City
 Clarke Northampton in Northampton, Massachusetts
 Clarke Philadelphia in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

Media 

In 2007, Clarke School was featured in the PBS documentary, "Through Deaf Eyes" produced by Larry Hott. The documentary depicted deafness and Deaf culture in the United States and the choices parents face between sign language and oral language.

Abuse 
Clarke School admitted and apologized for the extreme abuse carried out against Deaf students back when the school had a residential program. Molestations were reported, Jewish students were forced to attend church, and teachers used methods of corporal punishment that were considered extreme even by the standards of the time on students whose speech did not satisfy their hearing teachers. Clarke School has since apologized for her abuse.

Cry! Cry! Cry!

"Cry! Cry! Cry!" is the debut single by singer-songwriter Johnny Cash. The song was originally released in 1955 and reached number 14 on the Best Sellers charts.

Background
In 1954, before the release of the song "Cry! Cry! Cry!", Cash signed with Sun Records after he came home from serving with the United States Air Force. During that time, he wrote the song "Hey, Porter" which was met with little excitement from the executives at his record label. He was then told to come back with a song that Sun Records owner, Sam Phillips, would be able to sell. Cash went home and wrote the song "Cry! Cry! Cry!" overnight and came back and performed it to Phillips the following day. The song was then coupled with "Hey Porter" and released as the B-side of the record. For the recording of the song, Johnny Cash was backed by "The Tennessee Two", Luther Perkins on guitar and Marshall Grant on bass. The early success of the song led to a featured spot on the Louisiana Hayride Tour and kicked off the career of Johnny Cash in the process. The song sold over 100,000 copies in the southern states alone. Cash then began to tour with Elvis Presley (among other artists from the record business) soon after its release. The song was later included on Cash's first album, 1957's With His Hot and Blue Guitar, one of the first albums released by Sun Records.

Appearance in Walk the Line
The fact that it was Cash's first successful tune was mentioned several times in the dialogue of the 2005 film, Walk the Line. While it appeared on the film's soundtrack album, it was not performed in the film (two deleted scenes show the Johnny Cash character, as played by Joaquin Phoenix, composing the song in the basement of his house and later listening to it on the radio).

Covers
 "Texas" Bill Strength's cover was released as a single by Capitol in August 1955 in the US, only weeks after the issue of Cash's original, and September 1955 in the UK.
Marty Stuart released a cover of the song in 1989; his version peaked at number 32 on the Hot Country Singles chart.
Third Eye Blind covered the song with Merle Haggard.
Elvis Costello released a cover of the song in 1982 as the B-side to "I'm Your Toy".
Canadian punk rock band the Flatliners recorded their version for the Johnny Cash tribute album All Aboard: A Tribute to Johnny Cash (released in October 2008).
Norah Jones covered the song; her version was included on the bonus CD Live at The Living Room, available with the album The Fall (2009) in Japan and in the U.S. through iTunes and Target.
Ian Hunter covered the song on March 5, 2013 in a live performance at the Teatro Miela in Trieste, Italy, with David Roe, Johnny Cash's former bass player, playing.
Robbie Fulks covered it for the 2002 album Dressed in Black: A Tribute to Johnny Cash.

René Enríquez

René Enríquez (November 24, 1933 – March 23, 1990) was a Nicaraguan-born American television actor of the 1970s and 1980s. He is best remembered for his role as Lt. Ray Calletano in the long-running television series Hill Street Blues (1981–1987).

He died on March 23, 1990, from AIDS, the first of two Hill Street Blues stars to die that year. Kiel Martin succumbed to lung cancer on December 28.

Co-star Daniel J. Travanti reminisced that, during his time on Hill Street Blues, Enríquez was "sad, unhappy because they were not thrilled with him, they kept saying that it was difficult to understand him. He was really crushed when they let him go. ... He was sweet, sweet natured and grateful for what he had there but saddened by being let go.

Original reports said Enríquez died of pancreatic cancer. However, upon publication of his death certificate, Enríquez's cause of death was revealed to be complications resulting from AIDS. As reported on a 1992 episode of Entertainment Tonight, this was not a surprise to his Hill Street Blues costar Charles Haid, as Enríquez had disclosed to Haid the true nature of his affliction.

Abila Lysaniou

Abila Lysaniou or Abila Lysaniae or Abila () was an ancient city, on the Abana River and capital of ancient Abilene, Coele-Syria. The site is currently that of the village of Souq Wadi Barada (called Abil-es-Suk by early Arab geographers), circa  northwest of Damascus, Syria. It has also been identified as the village of Abil just south of Homs in central Syria. The city's surname is derived from Lysanias, a governor of the region.

The site contains ruins of a temple, aqueducts, and other remains, and inscriptions, on the banks of the river.  Though the names Abel and Abila differ in derivation and in meaning, their similarity has given rise to the tradition that this was the place of Abel's burial. The city is mentioned in the New Testament (Luke 3:1).  According to Josephus, Abilene was a separate Iturean kingdom until AD 37, when it was granted by Caligula to Agrippa I; in 52 Claudius granted it to Agrippa II.

William Smith cites a dissertation in the Transactions of the Academy of Belles Lettres showing that this Abila is the same with Leucas on the river Chrysorrhoas, which at one period assumed the name of Claudiopolis, as shown by some coins described by Joseph Hilarius Eckhel.

Bishopric 

Abila Lysaniae, which was in the Roman province of Phoenicia Secunda, was also a Christian bishopric. The Coptic version of the acts of the First Council of Nicaea includes a Heliconius of this see among the participants. Iordanus was at the 445 Council of Antioch and at the Council of Chalcedon of 451. John was one of the signatories of a joint letter that the bishops of Phoenicia Secunda sent in 458 to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian to protest at the killing of Proterius of Alexandria. Alexander was deposed by Emperor Justin I in 518 for his Syriac Orthodox tendencies.

No longer a residential diocese, it is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.

"Abila" in Old French literature 

Abila, also written as "Abilant" or "Abelant", appears as a castle or city, a character from that place (a princess, king, sultan, as in Rouge-Lion d'Abilant) or even a Saracen's formal name, in The Jerusalem Continuations: The London and Turin Redactions of the Old French Crusade cycle, Simon de Puille: Chanson de geste, Karlamagnús saga: The Saga of Charlemagne and His Heroes, and Gloriant.

Professorial lecturer

Professorial Lecturer is the title for Professors of Practice and Teaching Faculty at certain universities and institutions that focus on practice-based education. This title is usually reserved for practice-based professors who are nationally or internationally recognized experts and leaders in their respective fields with extensive real-world experience. In the United States, this title is predominantly used in the Washington, D.C. region where practitioners with distinguish careers and expertise at the federal government, local and state governments, international governance organizations, and other international institutions such as PAHO and World Bank, are brought in by schools to teach and share their applied knowledge and experience and deep expertise in theory-to-practice translation. 

Professorial Lecturer title has its roots in the Commonwealth System of faculty ranking and is equivalent to an Associate Professor in the North American System. Professorial Lecturers are frequently considered equivalent to a tenured associate professor as highlighted by American University's guidelines, for instance: "A term faculty at the rank of professorial lecturer with an exceptional research portfolio that is equivalent to that of a tenure-line colleague may be promoted to associate professor following the guidelines established in the Faculty Manual (May 2018). Term faculty at the rank of professorial lecturer may not change their rank to assistant professor."

Institutions using this title for Teaching Faculty include the London School of Economics, George Washington University, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, School of International Service at American University. Currently, at the London School of Economics, this title is being given to those working full time and of professor status, but no longer producing research, instead solely focusing on student education.

Shanakdakhete

Shanakdakhete, also spelled Shanakdakheto or Sanakadakhete, was a queen regnant of the Kingdom of Kush, ruling from Meroë in the early first century AD. Shanakdakhete is poorly attested, though is known to have constructed a temple in Naqa.

Shanakdakhete was previously believed to have been the first Kushite queen regnant due to an erroneous dating of her inscriptions. This role is now instead attributed to Nahirqo.

Sources 
Shanakdakhete is known only from hieroglyphic inscriptions at Temple F in Naqa. The inscriptions are accompanied by reliefs depicting the queen, though these are badly damaged. Shanakdakhete was responsible for building Temple F, replacing an earlier structure in the same place. Shanakdakhete is in the inscriptions titled as Son of Ra, Lord of the Two Lands, Shanakdakheto.

Chronology 
In older scholarship, Shanakdakhete's inscriptions were considered to be the earliest examples of the Meroitic script and she was based on this traditionally dated to the late second century BC. This interpretation made Shanakdakhete the earliest recorded Kushite queen regnant, which in turn led scholars to attribute the pyramid Beg. N 11 to her. This pyramid dates to the second century BC and does not preserve the name of the buried ruler, though depicts a queen regnant in its reliefs. A double statue depicting a female ruler together with a non-ruling prince was also attributed to Shanakdakhete.

Shanakdakhete's inscriptions were re-assessed by the Egyptologist Claude Rilly in 2004, who concluded that the text's palaeography instead placed her much later, either around the turn of the century between the first century BC and the first century AD, or in the first half of the first century AD. Per Rilly (2004 & 2007) and Josefine Kuckertz (2021) both pyramid Beg. N 11 and the double statue previously associated with Shanakdakhete are "both now attributed with good reasons" to the queen regnant Nahirqo, dated to the second century BC. The re-attribution has been accepted by numerous other scolars, such as Janice Yellin (2020) and Francis Breyer (2022).

Similar spellings of hieroglyphic signs suggest that Shanakdakhete ruled close to the time of another queen regnant, Amanishakheto. Kuckertz (2021) placed Shanakdakhete as Amanishakheto's successor, ruling in the first half of the first century AD. Janice Yellin (2014) and Kuckertz also speculatively attributed the large pyramid Beg. N 21 to Shanakdakhete.

Nash & Sawyer Location, New Hampshire

Nash & Sawyer Location, New Hampshire, is a historic designation of part of Coos County, which was shown on the 1896 topographic map of the area north of Crawford Notch. It contained the areas now known as Bretton Woods and Fabyans, each annexed by the town of Carroll before 1935.

In 1771, Timothy Nash and Benjamin Sawyer proved that a horse could be brought through the pass, thereby showing that a road may be feasible as well.  Sawyer Pond (Bemis Lake) and the Sawyer River, near Notchland, are also named for Benjamin Sawyer.

171 (number)

171 (one hundred [and] seventy-one) is the natural number following 170 and preceding 172.

In mathematics
171 is a triangular number and a Jacobsthal number.

There are 171 transitive relations on three labeled elements, and 171 combinatorially distinct ways of subdividing a cuboid by flat cuts into a mesh of tetrahedra, without adding extra vertices. 

The diagonals of a regular decagon meet at 171 points, including both crossings and the vertices of the decagon.

There are 171 faces and edges in the 57-cell, an abstract 4-polytope with hemi-dodecahedral cells that is its own dual polytope.

Within moonshine theory of sporadic groups, the friendly giant  is defined as having cyclic groups ⟨  ⟩ that are linked with the function,
 ∈  where  is the character of  at .
This generates 171 moonshine groups within  associated with  that are principal moduli for different genus zero congruence groups commensurable with the projective linear group .

Ogle Robert Gowan

Ogle Robert Gowan (July 13, 1803 – August 21, 1876) was a farmer, Orangeman, journalist and political figure in Upper Canada and Canada West.

He was born in County Wexford, Ireland in 1803, the son of Hunter Gowan, an Orangeman and small landowner and godson of George Ogle, a grand master of the Irish Orange Order.  Hunter Gowan led a yeomanry corps known as the "Black Mob" which was accused of committing atrocities against Catholic civilians before and after the outbreak of the  Wexford Rebellion; he remains a hate-figure in local nationalist tradition. In 1825, when the Irish Orange lodges were dissolved, Ogle Gowan became assistant secretary for Sir Harcourt Lees' Benevolent and Loyal Orange Institution of Ireland. He arrived in Leeds County, Upper Canada in 1829 and settled in Brockville. In 1830, he called a meeting which formed the Grand Orange Lodge of British North America; Gowan became its deputy grand master and later became Canadian grand master.

Gowan was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada for Leeds in 1834 and 1835 but was unseated due to violence at the polls by his Orange supporters. In 1836, he was elected in Leeds; despite his innate distrust of Roman Catholics, he had formed an alliance with Catholic voters to help bolster his support at the polls. In the same year, he founded the Brockville Statesman.

During the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837, he helped raise a company of volunteers which also fought at the Battle of the Windmill. After the rebellion, Gowan declared his support for responsible government and the division of the clergy reserves among all recognized religious groups in the province. In 1844, he was elected to the 2nd Parliament of the Province of Canada for Leeds and Grenville. In the assembly, he supported John A. Macdonald against the interests of the Family Compact. In 1846, he was replaced by George Benjamin as grand master of the Orange Order in Canada. He helped lead the Orange opposition to the Rebellion Losses Bill in Canada West. In 1849, he stated his support for an elected Legislative Council. In 1852, he moved to Toronto where he served on city council in 1853 and 1854 and took over the publishing of the Toronto Patriot, formerly a Family Compact newspaper. In 1853, he regained the position of grand master, but Benjamin's supporters formed a separate Orange organization. In 1856, Gowan stepped down to allow the rift to be healed under a new grand master, George Lyttleton Allen. He was elected in an 1858 by-election to represent North Leeds and, in 1861, he retired from politics.

Between 1859 and 1860, Gowan produced three volumes of Orangeism, its origin and history, a history of the Orange Order.

He died at Toronto in 1876.
