Worry stone

Worry stones are smooth, polished gemstones, usually in the shape of an oval with a thumb-sized indentation, used for relaxation or anxiety relief.  Worry stones are typically around 3 centimetres in size. They are used by holding the stone between the index finger and thumb and gently moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone. This action of moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone is thought to reduce stress, but there is no scientific evidence that it does anything.

Worry stones may also be called palm stones, thumb stones, fidget stones, soothing stones, or sensory stones.

History 
As a folk practice implement, worry stones have many origins. Variations on the concept originate in ancient Greece, Tibet, Ireland, and multiple Native American tribes. The concept of a  worry stone began by the simple action of picking a smooth stone and fiddling with the stone. Worry stones made by sea water were generally used by Ancient Greeks. The smoothness of the stone was most often created naturally by running water.

Usage 

From the perspective of cognitive behavior therapy, the use of worry stones is one of many folk practices that can function as psychologically healthy self-soothing exercises. Such techniques are imparted at an early stage of treatment, displacing any familiar but destructive coping methods (nail-biting, scratching, lip-biting, etc.) that the patient may have developed. This helps ready the patient to safely confront anxiety or trauma. Worry stones are simple and intuitive enough to be useful in therapeutic contexts where complexity and unfamiliarity are paramount concerns, such as when offering short-term treatment to refugees.  After a patient has mastered a more sophisticated relaxation script for anxiety management, the worry stone itself can serve as a physical 'relaxation script reminder'; the patient may notice an impulse to use the object, and thereby become aware of their own anxiety.

Makai Tensho

is a 1967 historical fantasy novel by Futaro Yamada.

It is a tale in which Mori Sōiken resurrects other dead historical figures to overthrow the Shogunate, while Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi rises to fight him and his warriors of the dead.

Plot
The tale starts in the Tokugawa shogunate when Yui Shōsetsu meets the old Mori Sōiken, who, in the story, had survived to the Shimabara rebellion and learned the dark arts of ninpou in order to get his revenge. Knowing they both wish for the dethroning of the shōgun, Soiken forms an alliance with Shosetsu and reveals a spell devised by him, the Makai Tensho, which can rise dead people as his puppets. They soon gather an undead army of legendary warriors and sorcerers, among them Amakusa Shirō Tokisada, Miyamoto Musashi, and Araki Mataemon, and plan to use their supernatural skills to destroy the shogunate. However, the crown of their army, Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi, breaks free from their control and becomes determined by his own reasons to stop their rebellion before it starts.

Characters
The roster of the dead varies depending on adaptation, but usually contains Amakusa, Musashi, Yagyu Munenori, and Hōzōin Inshun. Soiken himself is often left out in adaptations, which tend to have instead Amakusa as the villain mastermind of the story.

Extreme tourism

Extreme tourism (also often referred to as danger tourism or shock tourism, although these concepts do not appear strictly similar) is a niche in the tourism industry involving travel to dangerous places (mountains, jungles, deserts, caves, canyons, etc.) or participation in dangerous events. Extreme tourism overlaps with extreme sport. The two share the main attraction, "adrenaline rush" caused by an element of risk, and differ mostly in the degree of engagement and professionalism.

Well-known extreme tourist destinations include:
Chernobyl Tours – Ukraine
Swimming in the Devil's Pool in Victoria Falls – Zambia and Zimbabwe
Walking the Plank at Mount Hua – China
Death Road Tour – Bolivia
Green Zone – Baghdad, Iraq
Sac Actun tours – Riviera Maya, Mexico
Cave of Swallows – Mexico

Urunga, New South Wales

Urunga is a small town located within the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, in Bellingen Shire. It is famous for its surf spots (reefs, beaches and mouth of two rivers). At the , Urunga had a population of 3,185.
The town is south of Coffs Harbour and Sawtell and north of Nambucca Heads. The place name, Urunga (pronounced Yoo-run-ga), is derived from the Gumbaynggir word  Yurūnga (pronounced Yu-roon-ga), which is derived from the word for long yurūn in reference to "long white sands".

Geography
There are two main streets, and both a bowling club and a golf club. A weekly 6-a-side soccer competition is held on Thursdays at the Oval on Morgo Street, colloquially known as the Cabbage Patch or simply 'The Patch'.

History
Urunga is a fishing ground, with bream being the main sport fish. The Urunga boardwalk, leading over the tidal Urunga Lagoon then out to the beach, was rebuilt in 1988 and extended in 1991. The full boardwalk was completed in 2007.  In November 2010, a further section of boardwalk was completed. This extension finishes at the mouth of the river and has taken the length of the boardwalk to almost . Hungry Head,  to the south is the only patrolled beach in Urunga.

On 8 December 2017, the Federal Court of Australia determined that the Gumbaynggirr People have native title rights and interests over an area of land and waters at Wenonah Head, near Urunga. This determination resolved the oldest native title claim in New South Wales.

Culture
Urunga celebrates Father's Day with a "Picnic in the Park" in September and a Flathead fishing comp in November.

Education
 Urunga Public School
 Stepping Stones preschool

Transport
Urunga railway station opened on the North Coast line in 1923 and continues to be served by country passenger trains.

Urunga Wetlands
In May 2017 the Urunga Wetlands were opened to the public. It features a wheelchair accessible 150-metre boardwalk and a 450-metre walking track surrounding the park. In the late 1960s and early 1970s the area was the site of a processing plant used for extracting the heavy metal antimony from its ore, stibnite. Antimony and other heavy metals leached into the surrounding melaleuca wetlands creating what was claimed to be "one of the most polluted natural environments in New South Wales." In 2015 a $10 million reclamation project began that involved treating over 36,000 tonnes of contaminated soils at the site and its storage in an onsite containment cell. Water quality of the wetlands has returned to acceptable levels and birds and other wildlife have started to return since completion of the project.

Vermilion River (Illinois River tributary)

The Vermilion River is a  tributary of the Illinois River in the state of Illinois, United States. The river flows north, in contrast to a second Vermilion River in Illinois, which flows south to the Wabash River. The Illinois and Wabash rivers each have a tributary named the Little Vermilion River as well.

The north-flowing Vermilion River and the south-flowing Middle Fork Vermilion River run on what is close to a straight line between Oglesby and Danville. In presettlement times, the two rivers drained an upland marsh near Roberts. It is possible that early settlers regarded these as a single river that flowed in two directions. It is also possible that, in early settlement times, these rivers formed a canoe route between the Illinois River and Wabash River, with a portage through the marshes near Roberts. This may explain why the two rivers have the same name.

The north-flowing Vermilion flows in a northerly direction from its origin in Livingston and Ford counties in north central Illinois, eventually emptying into the Illinois River, near Oglesby. Perhaps it is best known for its stretch of whitewater between Lowell and Oglesby, Illinois, which is one of few found in Illinois.

Access to a stretch of river around a dam owned by Buzzi Unicem was temporarily barred in 2009 after two drowning deaths that occurred on June 23 and 26, respectively, as well as numerous other boating accidents. The river access was reopened in 2010.

Colloid mill

A colloid mill is a machine that is used to reduce the particle size of a solid in suspension in a liquid, or to reduce the droplet size in emulsions.  Colloid mills work on the rotor-stator principle: a rotor turns at high speeds (2000 - 18000 RPM).  A high level of  stress is applied on the fluid which results in disrupting and breaking down the  structure. Colloid mills are frequently used to increase the stability of suspensions and emulsions, but can also be used to reduce the particle size of solids in suspensions. Higher shear rates lead to smaller droplets, down to approximately 1 μm which are more resistant to emulsion separation.

Application suitability 
Colloid mills are used in the following industries:
 Pharmaceutical
 Cosmetic
 Paint
 Soap
 Textile
 Paper
 Food
Grease

A colloidal mill consist of a high speed rotor and stator with a conical milling surfaces

Stone Age Institute

The Stone Age Institute is an independent research center dedicated to the archaeological and paleontological study of human origins and technological development beginning with the earliest stone tools. The institute was founded by archaeologists Nicholas Toth and Kathy Schick to provide a focal point for research on human origins where affiliated scientists could collaborate on research and to provide science education outreach on human origins and evolution. The Stone Age Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. 

The institute publishes scholarly books and articles and offers post-doctoral positions for prospective scientists. The institute is housed in a  facility located on a  rural site outside Bloomington, Indiana. The building was designed by Mary Krupinski and Dawn Gray of Kirkwood Design Studio in Bloomington, Indiana, and was completed in 2003.

The Stone Age Institute is an autonomous research facility, but it has strong ties with Indiana University, especially CRAFT (the Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations of Technology) and the Human Evolutionary Studies Program. Its co-founders, Toth and Schick, are faculty members at Indiana University.

The facility includes a research library on early human prehistory and related science donated by the late J. Desmond Clark, professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Ute Geweniger

Ute Geweniger  (later Strauß, born 24 February 1964) is a former  breaststroke  and medley swimmer  who was a leading member of the East German swimming team in the 1980s. She won two Olympic gold medals, in the 100 m breaststroke and 4×100 m medley relay at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, and set seven individual and two relay world records. She was named by Swimming World Magazine as World Swimmer of the Year in 1983 and as the European Swimmer of the Year in 1981 and 1983. 

In 2005, she admitted that her performance had been supported by doping.

Geweniger was born in Karl-Marx-Stadt, East Germany, and came to prominence when she set a world record in the 100 m breaststroke in qualifying for the East German team for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. There she captured gold, setting another world record in the process. She then combined with Rica Reinisch, Andrea Pollack and Caren Metschuck to claim gold in the medley relay, also in world record time. In 1981, she broke the 100 m breaststroke world record thrice, and the 200 m individual medley world record, prior to the European Championships in Split, Croatia, Yugoslavia. There she claimed gold in the 100 m and 200 m breaststroke (breaking a world record in the former), 200 m individual medley, medley relay, as well as a silver in the 400 m individual medley behind team-mate Petra Schneider. At the World Championships the following year in Guayaquil, Ecuador, she won gold in both the 100 m breaststroke and the medley relay, combining with Ines Geißler, Birgit Meineke and Kristin Otto to again lower the world record. At the 1983 European Championships in Rome, Italy, she again won the breaststroke double, the 200 m individual medley and the 4×100 m medley relay, setting a world record in the 100 m breaststroke. Geweniger was tipped for further Olympic success, but her career was ended when the Soviet bloc, including East Germany, staged a retaliatory boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles.

Evgeny Rukhin

Evgeny Rukhin (; July 2, 1943 - May 24, 1976) was a Russian Non-Conformist painter and one of the organizers of the Bulldozer Exhibition in 1974. He died in 1976 after his studio in Leningrad caught fire.

Life 
Evgeny Rukhin (ru) (1943-1976) was born in Saratov, Russia into a family of scientists. He began painting at the age of twenty, during his geology studies. He was a Russian non-conformist artist working in Leningrad in the 1960s and 1970s. He was married to Galina Popova, an official Soviet artist who studied stained glass during her art school days.

In 1976, Rukhin along with three others were in Rukhin's Leningrad art studio when it caught fire. Two of Rukhin's guest managed to escape but Rukhin and Ludmila Boblyak were later found dead in the studio. In John McPhee's book, the Ransom of Russian Art, McPhee recounted five interviews he had with Rukhin's associates (who had not been at the scene of the fire) about Rukhin's death. Each of the accounts blamed the KGB. Rukhin's wife, Galina, stated that a doctor and a medical student had told her Rukhin had been "murdered by a drug injection before the fire." None of the accounts of Rukhin's death were dispositive and McPhee was sued for libel by one of Rukhin's guests at the time of the fire.

Tu'i

Tu'i, also spelled more simplistically Tui, is a Polynesian traditional title for tribal chiefs or princes. In translations, the highest such positions are often rendered as "king". For details, see the links below various polities. Traditionally, a Tui is an equivalent of God title. Origin of Tui is believed to be Tui Manu'a (the title given to the son of the Polynesian God Tagaloa, and therefore Tui were viewed as living Gods).

DIFOT

DIFOT (delivery in full, on time) or OTIF (on-time and in-full [delivery]) is a measurement of logistics or delivery performance within a supply chain. Usually expressed as a percentage, it measures whether the supply chain was able to deliver:
the expected product (reference and quality)
in the quantity ordered by the customer
at the place agreed by the customer
at the time expected by the customer (in many cases, with a tolerance defined in conjunction with the customer).

Function
OTIF measures how often the customer gets what they want at the time they want it. Some consider it superior to other delivery performance indicators, such as shipped-on-time (SOT) and on-time performance (OTP), because it looks at deliveries from the point of view of the customer.

This key performance indicator (KPI) has the advantage of measuring the performance of the whole logistic organization in meeting customer service expectations. To reach a high OTIF level, all the functions of the supply chain (among which orders taking, procurement, suppliers, warehouses, transport ...) must work at their best level.

Calculation
Generally OTIF is calculated by taking into account the number of deliveries:
 
OTIF ( % ) = number of deliveries OTIF ÷ total number of deliveries * 100
 
But it can also, according to organizations, be calculated according to the number of orders or the number of the order lines.

Some organizations calculate OTIF by the percentage of the total order quantity that has been on-time. This goes against the principle of OTIF as the in-full component of OTIF has not been met.
 
Requirements for the OTIF measurement are :
have a delivery date (even hour for some organizations) stated on the customer order or specified by the customer
measure the date or the hour of delivery and archive it in the system
maintain record of the reasons why an order was not OTIF.
 
If the orders are split at the customer request, then each delivery line is considered.
 
Companies which have set up a measure of the OTIF are unanimous in recognising its value. They quote among other positive aspects: the increase in operating profit due to the reduction of operating expenses (in relation with the non-quality reduction, better inventory control, better customer orders taking, higher reliability in storage and transport ...) and the increase of sales (due to a better product availability for sales).

Typically, leading practice in the [UK] retail sector identified by researchers Janet Godsell and Remko van Hoek would demand an OTIF in excess of 97 per cent measured at a stock keeping unit (SKU) level. However Godsell's research also found that instances where an OTIF target was met when measured against a target of the promised delivery date stated by the supplier to the customer (the "promise date"), would often fail to meet the same performance measure when the delivery date requested by the customer (the "request date") was used as the target.

The OTIF notion was extended to DIFOTAI (delivery in full, on time, and accurately invoiced), which also takes into account the quality of the invoicing.

This Is How It Goes

This Is How It Goes is a play by Neil LaBute set in small town America, about the repercussions of an interracial love triangle. The play premiered Off-Broadway in 2005 and also was produced in the West End in 2005.

Plot and concept
High school sweethearts — the star of the high school track team (Cody) and a cheerleader (Belinda) — marry. He becomes a successful businessman; she's a stay-at-home mom. A high school acquaintance (Man) returns to town and rents the room over their garage and upsets the delicate balance of their relationship, raising questions about who they want to be, who they are, and what made them that way.

The play's title refers to Man's frequent breaking of drama's Fourth Wall as he addresses the audience in between scenes. He prefaces his remarks to set up the next scene with "This is how it goes..." or his remarks on the preceding action with "This is how it went...". Deeply in love with Belinda, or at least the Belinda he remembered, he professes to being an unreliable narrator. Occasional scenes may not to have occurred as he relates them at first and get re-acted in a style that the audience might find more reasonable or plausible.

Productions
This Is How It Goes premiered Off-Broadway at The Public Theater on March 11, 2005, in previews, and opened officially on March 27, 2005. Directed by George C. Wolfe, the cast starred Amanda Peet as Belinda, Jeffrey Wright as Cody, and Ben Stiller as Man. Marisa Tomei was originally cast as Belinda but left the production before it began, citing "personal family reasons". The production ran through April 24, 2005.

The play opened in the West End at the Donmar Warehouse on 14 July 2005 and ran through 3 September 2005. Directed by Moises Kaufman, the production starred Ben Chaplin as Man, Megan Dodds as Belinda, and Idris Elba as Cody.

In Germany it opened at the English Theatre of Hamburg on 6 September 2010 with Julie Addy as Belinda, Ike Ononye as Cody and Sean Browne as Man.

The play was produced at the King's Head Theatre in Islington, London, from September 7 to October 3, 2010, starring Gemma Atkinson as Belinda, Okezie Morro as Cody and Tom Greaves as 'Man'.
