Playing career
Undrafted, Smithson played in the Western Hockey League with the Calgary Hitmen before he signed his first NHL contract as a free agent with the Los Angeles Kings. 

Smithson scored the game-winning goal for the Nashville Predators in Game 5 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs quarterfinals to beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2. The Predators went on to defeat the Ducks in 6 games to preserve their first ever playoff  series win.

After 7 games with the Marlies, on November 6, 2013, Smithson returned to the NHL in signing a one-year contract with parent club, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Smithson later made his Leafs debut on November 8, 2013. Smithson was waived by the Maple Leafs on December 4, 2013, and after clearing waivers reported to the AHL Toronto Marlies.

After sitting out the 2014–15 season as a free agent, Smithson announced a comeback to professional hockey in agreeing to a one-year contract with Danish club, Herning Blue Fox of the Metal Ligaen on July 25, 2015. In his solitary season abroad in 2015–16, Smithson contributed with 24 points in 33 games, helping the Blue Fox to the finals in the post-season with 7 points in 19 playoff games.

Vaccinium elliottii

Vaccinium elliottii (Elliott's blueberry) is a species of Vaccinium in the blueberry group (Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus). It is native to the southeastern and south-central United States, from southeastern Virginia south to Florida, and west to Arkansas and Texas.

Growth
Vaccinium elliottii is a deciduous shrub  tall, with small, simple ovoid-acute leaves  long with a finely serrated margin. The flowers are pale pink, bell-shaped, 6–8 mm long, opening in the early spring before the new leaves appear.

The fruit is an edible berry 5–8 mm diameter. There are two variants one having tart shiny blue black berries and the other sweeter type having a whitish waxy bloom over the otherwise blue black berries; they ripen from late spring (in Florida) through summer (in Arkansas and Virginia).

Cultivation and uses
Vaccinium elliottii produces a particularly large yield of somewhat sour berries. It is popular for late-season fruit.

STS-51 (disambiguation)

NASA flew a number of Space Shuttle missions in the early and mid-1980s with designations derived from STS-51. Most occurred in 1985. 

The ambiguity was the result of a NASA decision to change designation of missions starting in Fiscal Year 1984.  Previously, missions were designated in the order they were flown (i.e., STS-9 indicated the ninth shuttle mission).  The new designation was designed to accommodate a dramatically increased launch manifest, address the addition of a west coast launch site and to resolve confusion from manifested missions not being flown in order due to delays.  The new designation used a three-part designator following the term "STS".  The first number represents the fiscal year of the launch, the second represents the launch location (1=Florida, 2=California) and the alphanumeric code represents the order launched (i.e., A is first, B is second, etc.).  Therefore, the first mission using this designation, which was the tenth shuttle mission was STS 41B.  It launched in FY 1984, from Florida and was the first to launch in that year.

As a result of the Challenger accident (STS-51-L), a decision was made to no longer fly DoD payloads and commercial payloads on the orbiter and cancel flights from California.  Thus, the manifest was dramatically reduced and NASA returned to the old designation with STS-26 and the return to flight in 1988.

STS-51 itself (that is, the 51st scheduled Space Shuttle mission, though it was actually flown between STS-57 and STS-58) was flown in 1993.

Other missions that began with the STS-51 designation include:
STS-51-A
STS-51-B
STS-51-C
STS-51-D
STS-51-F
STS-51-G
STS-51-I
STS-51-J - First flight of Atlantis
STS-51-L - The Challenger Disaster

Extended Christian Pact

The Extended Christian Pact (Patto Cristiano Esteso, PACE) was a Christian-conservative political party in Italy founded by Gilberto Perri in 1994.

The party takes example from the Christian Coalition in the United States and is one of the few examples of Christian right parties in Europe. Although most of its members are Evangelicals or Pentecostals, the party is not officially associated with any denomination. The party's founder and leader is Gilberto Perri, a Pentecostal pastor, who has been one of the founding members of Christian Coalition International with Pat Robertson in 1999.

PACE has been affiliated to the House of Freedoms coalition and generally sides with the Italian centre-right. It is stronger in Southern Italy, where Pentecostal and Evangelical churches are more widespread. In the 2006 general election PACE won 0.4% in Sicily for the Senate, but its best results so far came in 2011 local elections, when the party gained 3.6% (and one councillor) in Reggio Calabria and 2.1% throughout the Province.

In 2012 PACE formed the Cantiere Popolare coalition along with The Populars of Italy Tomorrow, Popular Action and the Christian Movement of Workers.

Angioblast

Angioblasts (or vasoformative cells) are embryonic cells from which the endothelium of blood vessels arises. They are derived from embryonic mesoderm. Blood vessels first make their appearance in several scattered vascular areas (blood islands) that are developed simultaneously between the endoderm and the mesoderm of the yolk-sac, i. e., outside the body of the embryo. Here a new type of cell, the angioblast, is differentiated from the mesoderm.

These cells as they divide form small, dense syncytial masses, which soon join with similar masses by means of fine processes to form plexuses. They form capillaries through vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.

Angioblasts are one of the two products formed from hemangioblasts (the other being multipotential hemopoietic stem cells).

New old stock

New old stock (NOS), or old stock for short, refers to aged stock of merchandise that was never sold to a customer and still new in original packaging.  Such merchandise may not be manufactured anymore, and the new old stock may represent the only current source of a particular item. There is no consensus on how old a product must be to be NOS, and some people reserve an NOS label only for products that are actually discontinued.

Although not an officially recognized accounting term, it is in common use in the auction and retail industries. For example, owners of classic, vintage, and antique vehicles seek NOS parts that are needed to keep their bicycles, automobiles, motorcycles, or trucks operational, or in factory-original condition. These owners put a premium on NOS parts.

Another definition of NOS is new original stock, meaning that they are original equipment parts that remained in inventory for a use that never came. Automobile dealers and parts companies often sell such slow-moving stock at a discount. Other specialty parts vendors then market these NOS parts that may either decline or increase in value depending on their type and desirability.

Primary education in Wales

Primary education in Wales has a similar structure to primary education in England, but teaching of the Welsh language is compulsory and it is used as the medium of instruction in many schools. The introduction of the Foundation Phase for 3- to 7-year-olds is also creating increasing divergence between Wales and England.

Stages 
In Wales, statutory education begins in the term after a child's fifth birthday, although many children start primary school earlier than this or their parents choose to home educate them. 

Under the 2008 curriculum, between the ages of 3 and 11 a child's education was divided into two main stages:

 Foundation phase -  (ages 3–7) (replacing Early Years (ages 3–5) and Key Stage 1 (ages 5–7)
 Key Stage 2  (ages 7–11).
Under the new curriculum, the key stages are replaced with "progression steps" with guidance of what level pupils are expected to reach at different ages. During the primary school years, these take place at age five, eight and eleven years old.

Curriculum 
Under the 2008 curriculum, schools were required to teach children in Key Stage 2 English, Welsh or Welsh as a second language, mathematics, science, design and technology, information and communication technology, history, geography, art and design, music and physical education. The foundation phase did not use traditional subjects instead dividing the curriculum into seven "areas of learning";

 Personal and Social Development, Well-Being and Cultural Diversity 
 Language, Literacy and Communication Skills 
 Mathematical Development
 Welsh Language Development
 Knowledge and Understanding of the World
 Physical Development
 Creative Development

The curriculum which is being formally introduced in primary schools in 2022 gives schools more freedom to decide what children are taught. Instruction is grouped into six different areas;

 Languages, Literacy and Communication
 Mathematics and Numeracy
 Science and Technology
 Health and Well-being
 Humanities
 Expressive Arts

The only specific subjects which all schools are obliged to teach are the English and Welsh languages along with;

 Literacy, numeracy, and digital competence
 Religion, values and ethics
 Relationships and sexuality education

Assessment 

Primary school league tables were abolished in Wales in 2001; a Bristol University study indicated that this had caused a fall in standards in about 75% of schools. Statutory testing for children finishing Key Stage 1 and 2 was introduced across England and Wales in 1989. It was abolished in 2002 and 2005 respectively. Being replaced with teacher assessments with limited oversight. In 2013, standardised testing was reintroduced for children in the later years of primary school in 2013.

OCLC PICA

OCLC PICA was a library automation systems and services company which originated from a co-operation of the Pica Foundation (Stichting Pica) of the Netherlands and the non-profit library company OCLC Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) of the U.S. In 2007, OCLC acquired the shares of OCLC PICA it did not already hold to become the sole owner of OCLC PICA. By the end of 2007, OCLC PICA lost its separate identity and was integrated with OCLC under the OCLC brand.

The Pica Foundation was created in 1969 as an initiative of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, the national library of the Netherlands, and several university libraries, in order to advance the Dutch Central Catalog (Nederlandse Centrale Catalogus). The acronym PICA stands for Project for Integrated Catalogue Automation. 

In December 1997 Pica became part-owned by OCLC, and this was further consolidated in January 2002, at which time OCLC PICA also became responsible for all of OCLC's activities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. At the time, OCLC held 60% of the shares in OCLC PICA, while the Pica foundation held 40%. In 2005 OCLC PICA acquired Sisis Information Systems of Germany and the Fretwell-Downing Informatics Group (developer of the VDX interlibrary loan software) of the UK. In 2007, OCLC acquired the remaining shares of OCLC PICA to become the sole shareholder of OCLC PICA.

OCLC PICA / OCLC EMEA employed over 200 people. 

OCLC PICA software is used by the Netherlands union catalog, several German library consortia (including GBV, Hebis and SWB), the Australian national library, the French union catalog SUDOC and many other libraries.  Sisis and Fretwell-Downing also have many notable customers in Germany, the UK and worldwide.

Josef Svatopluk Machar (; 1864 – 1942) was a Czech poet and essayist. A leader of the realist movement in Czech poetry and a master of colloquial Czech, Machar was active in anti-Austrian political circles in Vienna. Many of his poems were satires of political and social conditions. In the poetic cycle The Conscience of the Ages (1901–1921), of which Golgotha was the initial volume, he contrasted antique with Christian civilization, favoring the former. His Magdalena (1893, translated into English by Leo Wiener, 1916), a satirical novel in verse, concerns the treatment of women. Both Machar's use of colloquial diction and his skepticism greatly influenced Czech literature and public opinion. He was the father of Sylva Macharová, one of the first Czech nurses and first head of the Czech School of Nursing.

He cooperated with T. G. Masaryk resistance organization Maffie from December 1914.

Rob Collins (ice hockey)

Robert "Rob" Collins (born March 15, 1978) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player, currently an unrestricted free agent who most recently played for the Düsseldorfer EG of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). Collins played eight games for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL). Collins was born in Peterborough, Ontario.

Playing career
After four seasons with Ferris State University, Collins signed with the New York Islanders as an undrafted free-agent in 2003. Collins spent four seasons in the American Hockey League, one for the Grand Rapids Griffins and three for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

He played eight regular season games for the Islanders during the 2005–06 NHL season. On December 19, 2005, he scored his first NHL goal and added an assist against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a high scoring 9-6 defeat.

Despite his lack of NHL experience, his scoring record with the Sound Tigers was impressive, scoring a total of 53 goals and 163 points in 220 games over three seasons.

In the 2006–07 season, Collins signed with German team, the DEG Metro Stars of the DEL. After five seasons with the Stars it was confirmed on March 18, 2011, that Collins would join fellow DEL club, the Hamburg Freezers, for the 2011–12 season.

Collins returned to play in North America after 7 seasons in Germany, in signing with the Brampton Beast of the Central Hockey League for their inaugural 2013–14 season. Collins established himself as a top line player with 46 points in 39 games before leaving at the back end of the season to finish the year in the German DEL with Kölner Haie.

On May 5, 2014, Collins signed a one-year contract to return to Düsseldorfer EG, continuing on from his 5 previous seasons with the club.

Lightner double

The Lightner double is a conventional double in bridge, used to direct the opening lead against slam contracts. It was devised by Theodore Lightner. 

The Lightner double is a call made by the partner of the player who will make the opening lead. It asks for an "unusual" opening lead. The opening lead is often crucial to the play of the hand, and the right opening lead is often the only chance for the defenders to defeat the contract. The doubler will most often have a void in a side suit, or sometimes AQ or KQ in the suit bid by the dummy. The partner is expected to find the correct lead, which might be unusual from his viewpoint; in any case, he should not lead a trump. The most common interpretation is to lead the first suit (other than trumps) bid by the opponents.

In his 1945 book Why You Lose at Bridge, S. J. "Skid" Simon called it "one of the most brilliant contributions to Contract Bridge yet made".

Prokop František Šedivý

Prokop František Šedivý (July 4, 1764 – c. 1810) was a significant Czech playwright, actor, and translator of the National Revival era. He is considered to be one of the founders of modern Czech theater and he was involved in founding the first entirely Czech-language theater Bouda.

Biography 
Generally, there is not much information about Šedivý's life. He was born in Prague, into a brewer's family, and probably worked as a state official later.

Works 
Šedivý's best-known plays are Kníže Honzík (Prince Honzík, the very first Czech play), Pražští sládci (The Prague Brewers), and České Amazonky (The Czech Amazons, 1792).

He translated Shakespeare's King Lear into Czech.
