Chronopost

Chronopost International, a member of the La Poste group, provides express shipping and delivery service both domestically (in France) and internationally.

Domestic services comprise mostly next-day services, with some variation depending on the exact delivery locations, for packages and documents weighing up to 30 kilograms (66 lb).

International services vary much more by location, due to the increased distance between origin and destination and lack of a substantial distribution system at the destination. As is the case with domestic shipments, most services provide delivery for items weighing no more than 30 kg.

The Chrono Mission product line, available for both domestic and international shipments, provides for the delivery of items weighing up to 1.4 tonnes (3080 lb) and up to 14 m3 (490 ft³) in size.

Chronopost has international offices in Morocco and Ivory Coast.

For some of the delivery of packages in the United States, Chronopost express packages are delivered by FedEx as International Priority.

Ari Thorgilsson

Ari Þorgilsson (1067–1148 AD; Old Norse: ; Modern Icelandic: ; also anglicized Ari Thorgilsson) was Iceland's most prominent medieval chronicler.  He was the author of Íslendingabók, which details the histories of the various families who settled Iceland.  He is typically referred to as Ari the Wise (Ari hinn fróði), and according to Snorri Sturluson was the first to write history in Old Norse.

Ari was a part of the Haukdælir family clan and studied in the school in Haukadalur as a student of Teitur Ísleifsson (the son of Ísleifur Gissurarson, first bishop of Iceland). There he became acquainted with Classical education. His writings clearly indicate that he was familiar with Latin chronicler traditions, but at the same time he is widely regarded as excelling in the Icelandic oral storytelling tradition.

It is believed that Ari later became a Christian priest in Staður by Ölduhryggur, now known as Staðastaður, but otherwise little is known about his life, despite the fact that he is one of the very few medieval writers who wrote down his family history.

Íslendingabók is the only work that is absolutely proven to have been written by him, but he is accredited with numerous articles of knowledge and is believed to have had a major part in the writing of Landnámabók, which chronicles the settlement of Iceland.

Ari was early on regarded as an important author. In Iceland's First Grammatical Treatise, written around 1160 AD, he is referred to with respect as an exceptional man, since the tradition of writing was not firmly established at the time.

Daily Mashriq

Daily Mashriq (Pashto: روﺯنامه مشرق) is an Urdu-language daily newspaper published from Peshawar, provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Muhammad Iqbal Khawaja is the current chief editor of the newspaper.

History 
Daily Mashriq was founded in 1963 by Inayat Ullah Khan. Its name translates to 'East' in Urdu.

In 1964, the newspaper was nationalized by the military regime of Ayub Khan and subsequently, it became part of the National Press Trust (NPT), which was established to manage nationalized independent newspapers in order to deter free media. NPT reissued the paper from Peshawar in 1967, with additional editions from Karachi the same year and Quetta in 1972.

In 1967, the NPT re-launched the paper from Peshawar and another edition from Karachi. In 1972, the third edition from Quetta was added. It remained in government hands until the government of Benazir Bhutto abolished the NPT in 1994 and privatized all newspapers.

Political stance
Daily Mashriq is influential among those shaping policies and making decisions. It generally aligns with state policies on foreign affairs, including those involving regional countries such as Afghanistan, India, and Iran. At the same time, the newspaper maintains a focus on the political, economic, and civic challenges faced by its target readership, maintaining a balanced reportage.

Khabrain

Daily Khabrain () is a Pakistani daily newspaper based in Lahore. The Daily Khabrain is published by the Khabrain Group of Newspapers. It is published simultaneously from Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Multan, Hyderabad, Muzaffarabad South Punjab Bahawalpur and Sukkur.

It is a member publication of All Pakistan Newspapers Society organization.

History
Daily Khabrain was established following a split in the editorial staff of Daily Jang'''s Lahore office during the late 1980s. Zia Shahid, among others, left to create Daily Pakistan, a publication funded by a group of investors known as members.

Within a year, differences arose between Shahid and the senior editorial staff, prompting him to initiate Daily Khabrain in 1992. In this new venture, he transformed the business model, requiring potential reporters and distributors to purchase an upfront membership. 

Editorial stance
The newspaper has displayed a proactive editorial stance. It created teams to inspect various businesses for potential illegalities, which were then publicized. In addition, it took on a role in moral policing, particularly for women and youth in educational institutions and marketplaces.

In 1997, Daily Khabrain focused its efforts against Mohammed Yusuf Ali from Lahore, alleging that he proclaimed himself a prophet. The term "kazzab", or liar, was used to label him. In 2000, he was convicted on blasphemy charges and sentenced to death but was murdered in prison before the sentence could be carried out. Purportedly, a reporter from Daily Khabrain was involved in smuggling a weapon into the prison for the murder.

By the mid-1990s, the newspaper's sensationalist and nationalistic reporting style had propelled it to become the third largest daily in Punjab, following Daily Jang and Nawa-i-Waqt.

Khabrain Group
Khabrain Group owns the following publications and television station:
 Daily Khabraan, a Punjabi language newspaper
 Daily Khabroon, a Sindhi language newspaper

Jugular tubercle

The jugular tubercle (of occipital bone) is a rounded prominence/oval elevation upon the superior (i.e. internal) surface of the occipital condyle at the junction of the basilar part and lateral part of the occipital bone, just medial to the jugular foramen on either side of the foramen magnum.

It overlies (i.e. is situated superior to) the hypoglossal canal and is situated anterosuperior to the internal opening of this canal. The glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX), vagus (CN X), and accessory (CN XI) pass across the posterior portion of the jugular tubercle to reach the jugular foramen.

Mazankowski report

The Mazankowski Report, is a commissioned report entitled "A framework for reform: report of the Premier's Advisory Council on Health" that was released on January 8, 2002. The 12-person advisory council, which was established by Ralph Klein, then Premier of Alberta in August 2001, was chaired by Don Mazankowski, who had previously served as  cabinet minister under Prime Ministers Joe Clark and  Brian Mulroney. The Premier's Council was charged with evaluating Alberta's health care system and formulating recommendations for reform. The Alberta government accepted all of the Council's recommendations.

Responses to the report
The Alberta government accepted all 43 recommendations made by the Advisory Council on their report.

Researchers from the University of Alberta's Parkland Institute criticised the report by saying "a move towards a for-profit system isn't supported by the government's own data."

Campaign organisation Keep Medicare Public claimed that the report is "grossly exaggerating the scope of Alberta's health spending 'crisis' and its recommendations for reform would undermine the foundations of Medicare."

Health reform at the federal level
The report of the Royal Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada, also known as the Romanow Report, entitled "Building on values: the future of health care in Canada", was submitted in December 2002.

Walcher of Malvern

Walcher of Malvern (died 1135) (also known as Walcher of Lorraine) was the second Prior of Great Malvern Priory in Worcestershire, England, and a noted astronomer, astrologer and mathematician. He has been described as an important transitional figure, whose observations and writings reflected the transformation of the astronomy of the Latin West from its traditional focus on computing dates in the ecclesiastical calendar and studying the rudiments of Roman astronomy to the use of ancient astronomical computational methods learned from Arabic zijes and other Islamic sources.

Life and Work 

Walcher was from Lotharingia, a region influenced by the new scientific ideas coming from Spain, and arrived in  England around 1091.  Using an astrolabe to measure the time of several solar and lunar eclipses with an accuracy of about fifteen minutes, he computed a set of tables giving the time of the new moons from 1036 through 1111, which were considered important for medical astrology.  His later observations revealed significant errors in his tables, reflecting the limitations of early medieval astronomical theory.

In his later De Dracone (ca. 1116), Walcher drew on the knowledge of Arabic astronomy that his master, Petrus Alfonsi, had brought from Spain. De Dracone discussed the motion of the lunar nodes (the head and tail of the dragon) and their significance for the computation of lunar and solar eclipses.  In De Dracone, Walcher recorded angles in degrees, minutes, and seconds, although he wrote these numbers using Roman, rather than Arabic numerals.

Walcher was Prior of Malvern Priory from 1120 to 1135. Walcher's gravestone in St Anne's Chapel at the Priory Church records his abilities:
Philosophus dignus, bonus astrologus lotharingus, 
Vir pius et humilis, monachus, prior hujus ovilis 
Hic jacet in cista geometricus et abacista, 
Doctor Walcherus; flet plebs, dolet undique clerus; 
Huic lux prima mori dedit Octobris seniori; 
Vivat ut in coelis exoret quisque fidelis. MCXXXV.

"In this chest lies Doctor Walcher, a worthy philosopher, a good astronomer, a Lotharingian, a pious and humble man, a monk, the prior of his sheepfold, a geometer and abacist.  The people mourn, the clergy grieve on all sides.  The first day of October brought death to this elderly man.  May each believer pray that he may live in heaven. 1135."

As head of the Priory he would have been a very influential figure in the county of Worcestershire.

Railroad Jerk

Railroad Jerk was a New York City–based indie rock band of the 1990s, specializing in a hard-driven punk blues sound.

History
Railroad Jerk's lineup changed frequently, but the core members were Minnesota native Marcellus Hall (vocals, guitar) and North Carolina-born, New Jersey–bred Tony Lee (bass). The two met in Trenton, New Jersey in early 1989 and formed the band with drummer Jez Aspinall and second guitarist Chris Mueller rounding out the quartet.  Hall chose the band's name because he "liked the clack and clang of the two words together."

The band gained a following on the Manhattan club scene and were signed to indie label Matador Records, for whom they recorded four albums — all well received critically — before breaking up in the late 1990s.

Their first two albums, Railroad Jerk (1990) and Raise the Plow (1993), did well, but Railroad Jerk reached its biggest success with One Track Mind (1995). The band made two music videos for the record: "Rollerkoaster" and "Bang the Drum", both directed by Jim Spring and Jens Jurgensen.

The "Rollerkoaster" video was shown on MTV's Beavis & Butthead. On tour, the band shared bills with bands including Guided by Voices, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Cibo Matto, Girls Against Boys, and Cat Power. "The Ballad of Railroad Jerk" became a college radio hit.

Around the time their fourth album — The Third Rail (1996) was released — the band recorded demos for a fifth Railroad Jerk LP which was to be entitled 'Masterpiecemeal'. This final LP was never released. Dave Varenka and Marcellus Hall went on to form the band White Hassle.

Glass Eye Pix is an American independent film studio based in New York City, New York known primarily for producing horror films.

History
Film director Larry Fessenden founded Glass Eye Pix on November 2, 1986 in order to copyright his own films, including Habit, Wendigo and The Last Winter.   The name came from a glass eye one of his friends gave to him as a gift, combined with the old lingo from the trade magazine Variety which called movies "pix". The company eventually grew to encompass others' works as Fessenden began to mentor younger filmmakers.

Glass Eye Pix's low-budget horror banner, Scareflix, was designed to create lean budgeted, auteur-driven films from new directors. Scareflix productions include Glenn McQuaid’s I Sell the Dead, Ti West's The Roost and Trigger Man, James Felix McKenney's Automatons and The Off Season, and I Can See You and The Viewer by Graham Reznick. Other Scareflix include Joe Maggio's Bitter Feast, Jim Mickle's Stake Land, James Felix McKenny's Hypothermia. and Mickey Keating's Darling.

In 2009 Glass Eye Pix partnered with Dark Sky Films, and collaborators Peter Phok and Brent Kunkle, Fessenden produced Ti West's The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers as well as Late Phases''''.

Recent Glass Eye Pix productions include Stray Bullets by Jack Fessenden, Like Me by Robert Mockler, Birth of The Living Dead by Rob Kuhns, Most Beautiful Island by Ana Asensio, The Ranger by Jenn Wexler, Depraved by Larry Fessenden and Foxhole by Jack Fessenden.

Outside of the horror genre, the company has produced films including Rick Alverson's The Comedy, Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy, and Ilya Chaiken’s Liberty Kid

Glass Eye Pix has also produced over 50 episodes of the audio drama series, Tales From Beyond the Pale, created by Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid, and hosted by Fessenden.

St Thomas the Apostle College

St. Thomas the Apostle College is a Roman Catholic secondary school for boys in Nunhead, London. A co-educational Sixth Form was opened in 2015.

The school was rebuilt and the new school building was opened by the Archbishop of Southwark, Peter Smith, in January 2013. The original Catholic chapel, an important feature in the life of the school, was retained and is the focus for the Catholic and pastoral life of the students.

In September 2015, St Thomas the Apostle College expanded its provision by opening a co-educational Sixth Form.

History of the college
St. Thomas the Apostle College opened in September 1965 as St. Thomas the Apostle School.  The initial intake came from two schools – English Martyrs and St Francis.  In September 1967 boys from Archbishop Amigo also joined.  The founder headmaster was Mr W. Uden and his first deputy was Mr. D. Crawford.

The college became grant maintained in September 1994 and became known as St. Thomas The Apostle College.  In 1998 the college reverted to a voluntary aided status.

There are four houses, named after four English martyrs from the sixteenth century during the reign of Elizabeth I – Griffith, Gunstone, Saint John Jones and Saint John Rigby.  Some confusion can be found in the details of the houses, because St. John Jones went by the name of 'Griffith' during the sixteenth century.

Barbara Kellerman

Barbara Rose Kellerman (originally spelt Kellermann; born 30 December 1949) is an English actress, known for her film and television roles. She trained at Rose Bruford College.

Kellerman was born in Manchester, Lancashire. Her Jewish father, Walter Kellermann (1915–2012), had fled Nazi Germany and settled in Leeds, where he became a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Leeds. Her mother, Marcelle, was a member of the French Resistance during the Second World War who became a teacher of modern foreign languages.

Kellerman has a younger brother Clive and a younger sister Judith.

Career
Kellerman's film credits include: Satan's Slave, The Monster Club and The Sea Wolves. Her television appearances include: Space: 1999, The Glittering Prizes, 1990, The Mad Death, Quatermass and The Chronicles of Narnia and the hard-hitting police drama The Professionals (1979), episode Runner, in which she played Sylvie the girlfriend of a former police officer who also has a relationship with a renegade former member of an organised crime network.

She is also known for her appearances in the BBC adaptations of three of the Narnia books, most notably as the tyrannical White Witch in The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe (1988). A year later she had a minor role as the Old Hag (Narnian Hag) in Prince Caspian in (1989), and finally as the evil Lady of the Green Kirtle in The Silver Chair in 1990. On the radio, she portrayed Modesty Blaise in a 1978 BBC World Service adaptation of the novel Last Day in Limbo.

She made a 20-minute drama for With Light Productions in 2007 for director Anita Parry entitled The Lights of Santa Cruz. It co-starred Christian Rodska and was the story of two middle-aged divorcees doing up a boat on the Somerset coast. It was filmed in Watchet, Somerset (a small shipping port on the south west coast of England) over a four-day period, mostly on a refitted Swedish fishing boat, the Josefine. The film was entered into Bristol's Brief Encounters Festival and is currently looking for distribution. During the late 1980s and early 1990s in between acting work, Kellerman worked for Sainsbury's in the former Green Park railway station in Bath.

Personal life 
Kellerman lived in Bath, Somerset during the 1980s and 1990s. She is a former wife of Robin Scobey (born 1945).

Abraham-Joseph Bénard

Abraham Joseph Bénard (October 26, 1750 – March 3, 1822), known as Fleury, was a French actor and comedian, known for acting at the Comédie-Française. He was born at Chartres, and began his stage apprenticeship at Nancy, where his father was at the head of a company of actors attached to the court of Stanisław Leszczyński. After four years in the provinces, he came to Paris in 1778, and almost immediately was made sociétaire at the Comédie Française, although the public was slow to recognize him as the greatest comedian of the day.

During the French Revolution, in 1793 Fleury, like the rest of his fellow-players, was arrested in consequence of the presentation of Laya's controversial L' Ami des lots ("The Friend of Laws"), and, when liberated, appeared at various theaters until, in 1799, he rejoined the rehabilitated Comédie Française. After forty years of service he retired in 1818. He was notoriously illiterate, and it is probable that the interesting Mémoire de Fleury owes more to its author, Lafitte, than to the subject whose "notes and papers" it is said to contain.

Counseling statements in the United States

A counseling statement is a form of verbal or written counseling given to employees in the workforce who have violated a company policy. Counseling statements, the least severe form of disciplinary action, serve as warnings for violations. Counseling statements generally include the exact violation and show how one can prevent committing that violation in the future, and they improve employee performance. Too many counseling statements in a job can eventually result in a suspension or termination of employment.

Common reasons for counseling statements in the workforce are not finishing one's assignments/tasks, unexcused absences or tardies, loss of money (such as cashiers), insubordination. Different jobs have different ways of writing, and announcing counseling statements.

Lambros D. Callimahos

Lambros Demetrios Callimahos (December 16, 1910 – October 28, 1977) was a US Army cryptologist and a flute player.

Early life and education
Callimahos was born in Alexandria of Greek parents; the family emigrated to the United States when he was four. His father was a journalist.

His main interests at school were in chemistry, physics and medicine. He did not show interest in music until the age of fourteen when he entered high school in Asbury Park.

Callimahos earned a degree in law from Rutgers in accord with his fathers' wishes, but attended Juilliard music school at the age of nineteen and graduated with a degree in 1933. While he started at the bottom of the class, he became head of his class in his second year after encouragement from his teacher, Arthur Lora. After graduation, he continued study in Europe.

Musical career
His musical debut was in Munich in 1935 and was heralded as Meisterfloetist. He also played in Vienna and that autumn played an all-Bach programme in Munich, consisting of the seven sonatas and his own transcription for flute and harpsichord of the B-Minor suite. He had a two-year tour of recitals in Europe and was appointed to a professorship in the Mozarteum. Two CDs of his performances were recorded and released.

In April 1937, he had his first United States debut in The Town Hall. He continued to tour both in Europe and the United States.

World War II
He joined the United States Army in 1941, hoping his interest in cryptology could be put to service.

He taught Italian and cryptanalysis at Fort Monmouth. He enrolled in a Japanese course and eventually served as a Signals Intelligence officer in New Delhi.

Later career
After World War II, he was assigned to the Army Security Agency as assistant to William F. Friedman. When the National Security Agency was formed, both men joined it. During the 1950s he developed the course CA-400, an expansion of Friedman's own intensive-study course. Graduates of the course became members of the Dundee Society. As part of this course he devised the Zendian Problem. He also revised some of Friedman's own work to produce the text Military Cryptanalytics.

In 1955, he established the NSA Technical Journal and served as technical advisor for the rest of his career.

Health problems forced his retirement in 1976.

Pitcairn reed warbler

The Pitcairn reed warbler (Acrocephalus vaughani) is a songbird in the genus Acrocephalus. Formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage (Sylviidae), it is now in the newly recognized marsh-warbler family Acrocephalidae.

It is endemic to Pitcairn Island in the southern Pacific. Locally known as the "sparrow" (true sparrows are not found on Pitcairn), it used to be common throughout the island, where it is the only land bird. It was formerly classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN due to its small range. But new research has shown it to be rarer than it was believed. Consequently, it was uplisted to endangered status in 2008.
