Seaford Senior High School

Seaford Senior High School is an American public high school in Seaford, Delaware. The school's attendance area includes the towns of Seaford, Blades, and a small portion of Bridgeville.

History
Seaford Senior High School was established in 1966. The building was designed by Wilmington architects Martin & Wason.

Academics

Students can choose from an array of academic courses from college-prep to Advanced Placement to prepare them for the college/university of their choosing. Teachers on the secondary level use the curriculum mapping process to align their content with the Delaware Content Standards, articulate instruction from grades 6–12, and coordinate assignments at each grade level.

For the graduating class of 2010, students taking the SAT scored an average of 474 in math and 460 in verbal for a combined score of 934.  This is compared with averages of 482+479=961 throughout the state and 516+501=1017 nationally.

Athletics 
All Seaford School District teams compete in the Henlopen Conference in middle school and high school sports. Seaford High School is one of the smallest schools in the conference, based on enrollment, and thereby competes in the Henlopen South.

Following outrage over the playing of Roseanne Barr's 1990 performance of The Star-Spangled Banner during the school's September 24, 2019 girls' volleyball match against Milford High School, the district apologized about this issue.

Awards
The school won the AARP Ethel Percy Andrus Legacy Award, that recognises outstanding educational achievements, in 2008 for its Advanced Placement Incentive Program.

The Corporation for National and Community Service recognised the school, in 2001 for its outstanding service-learning programs that integrates service into the curriculum.

Stoutenburg

Stoutenburg is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Leusden, and lies about  east of Amersfoort. Since 1998, a part of the village is a neighbourhood in Amersfoort.

History
The village was first mentioned in 1262 as Walter van Stoltenberch, and means "strong hill" which is a reference to castle Stoutenburg.

In 1252, the castle Stoutenburg near the village was founded by the lord of Amersfoort. From 1615, the castle was owned by Johan van Oldenbarnevelt. The castle was replaced by a manor, built in 1888. In 1948, the estate which was heavily damaged by war was bought by the Franciscans, and in 1952, a monastery opened. In 2019, the manor house was turned in an apartment building for people with Alzheimer.

In 1840, Stoutenburg was home to 584 people.
Until 1 June 1969, Stoutenburg was a separate municipality, covering the villages of Stoutenburg and Achterveld. Most of the territory of the former municipality is now part of Leusden; the northern part was annexed by the municipality of Amersfoort in 1998.

Oud-Leusden

Oud-Leusden is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Leusden, and lies about 4 km south of Amersfoort.

History
Oud-Leusden ("old-Leusden") was formerly just called "Leusden". The name is known from the year 777, when villa Lisaduna was a large farm complex with defences. Although it was assumed to be located near the current location of Oud-Leusden, no evidence of this complex has been found.

The church tower of Oud-Leusden was originally part of a church, which before the reformation was dedicated to Saint Anthony. In the nineteenth century, most of the churchgoing population lived in the nearby village of Leusbroek (now Leusden-Zuid), and the church was replaced with a new one in Leusbroek, and demolished in 1828.

Oud-Leusden is not a statistical entity, and the postal authorities have placed it under Leusden. The hamlet consists of about 15 houses.

Madonna in Glory with Seraphim (Botticelli)

Madonna in Glory with Seraphim is a painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, executed . It is housed in Galleria degli Uffizi.

History
The original location of the painting is not known, but it was registered in the Uffizi inventories of 1784 and 1825 as an anonymous artwork. 

The art historian Wilhelm von Bode first attributed it to Botticelli and dated it to the Verrocchio phase of his early career,  and just before his Fortitude. Later studies confirmed von Bode's hypothesis, with the exception of Adolfo Venturi who believed it to come from the school of Filippo Lippi.

Description and style
The Virgin Mary holds the baby Jesus on her knees. She is enthroned on clouds and surrounded by seraphim and rays of light. The Christ Child, with the cruciform nimbus, is looking towards the observer and raising his hand in blessing. Botticelli has succeeded in expressing the tensions in this theme with sensitivity: the mother, who is fully aware of the Passion her son will suffer, is holding him protectively in her arms.

The painting displays an incisive, graphic chiaroscuro that reflects the influence of Verrocchio on Botticelli, who helped in Verrocchio's workshop as a young artist. The depiction of Christ, however, is more plainly Botticelli's own style—he is depicted with rounded shapes and the melancholic air that often appears in Botticelli's work. The figure of Mary is elongated and loose, similar to the works of Filippo Lippi, another influence of Botticelli's. Similarly, Marie's delicately rounded face depicted with contour lines also recalls Lippi's work.

Similar panel paintings of the Madonna by Botticelli remain from around 1470. Two full figure pictures of the Madonna—the Madonna in Glory and the Madonna of the Rose Garden—are in the Uffizi. Like Madonna in Glory with Seraphim , they represent monumental seated figures that fill the entire picture.

When You Wasn't Famous

"When You Wasn't Famous" is a single by English rapper and producer Mike Skinner under the music project The Streets. It is the first single from their third studio album, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living. Released on 30 March 2006, it went straight to number 8 in the UK and number 26 in Ireland. The song's chorus is about how Skinner finds it easier to have sexual relations with non-famous women now that he's famous, but how things are just like they used to be when attempts to sleep with a similarly famous woman.

The song's verses recount Skinner's unsuccessful attempt to seduce a female pop star. The lyrics are purportedly autobiographical, but Skinner has never confirmed the identity of the pop star (who at one point is described "smok[ing] crack") in question. He has, however, categorically denied rumours that it is Cheryl Cole or Rachel Stevens. The song contains the lyric "Considering the amount of prang you've done, you looked amazing on CD:UK" and a reference to MTV's children's appeal.

The reference to the television show CD:UK in the song is quite notable because the show was axed just two days after "When You Wasn't Famous"' was released.

The video features Mike Skinner as a patient at a celebrity detox clinic, trying to avoid exposure by the paparazzi. An alternative video was made featuring a remix of the song by Professor Green. The original video was released on the DVD for the 2007 Brit Awards whilst the Professor Green remixed version was included on the DVD single for the following release Never Went to Church.

The B-side of the 7" was a cover of the track by Bromheads Jacket.

Cefn Onn Halt railway station

Cefn Onn Halt railway station was a halt on the Rhymney Line between Cardiff and Rhymney, Wales opened in 1915.  It closed on 27 September 1986 and was replaced by Lisvane and Thornhill, a short distance to the south. The station is close to the entrance of Caerphilly Tunnel, which resulted in trains overshooting the platform and having to reverse.

The station was adjacent to and served Cefn Onn Park (now known as Parc Cefn Onn), which was laid out from 1911 to 1933 by Ernest Prosser, a director of the Rhymney Railway which owned the line. The park was bought by Cardiff County Borough Council in 1944, which developed it as a country park. The park is now listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of  Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

Today

Both of the platforms remain, but undergrowth has consumed most of it. The Up shaped tower remains along with the mile post indicating 6 miles to Cardiff. The bridge connecting the two platforms was removed in 1999. One can still access the right platform via the former Great Western fencing.

Texas rig

The Texas rig is a fishing rig used for angling with soft plastic lures. It involves a bullet-shaped weight being threaded onto the fishing line first, that can be followed by a glass or plastic bead (this step is optional), and then the line is secured to a fish hook, usually an offset worm hook. The hook is then inserted into the head region of a worm lure and exits about  down the worm. The worm is then moved up the hook towards the shank and then rotated so that the worm is now "locked" on the shank.  The point of the hook is then threaded back into the body of the worm to make the rig "weedless" (i.e. unlike to snag on underwater vegetations).  

The crimped bead is fully optional, but some anglers find that the added noise or color provided by a bead can give them an advantage in stained or muddied water, because the clicking sound of a sliding sinker hitting the bead imitates a crayfish crawling over rocks and debris; while other anglers think that the bead detracts from a realistic presentation considering that most natural worms will not click.  

When fishing in open water without much cover to snag on, the Texpose rig is a better choice than a Texas rig because it increases the number of fish hooked. A Texpose rig is set up the same as a Texas rig with the exception that the hook point is pushed all the way through the body of the worm so it is slightly exposed. With a Texas rig, less fish will be hooked than with a Texpose because the hook point is not exposed; however, the occluded point deters hang ups on debris. The Texpose does not increase bite rate, but its exposed point increases the chance a biting fish will be hooked.

The Texas rig can be a search bait if swam through a water column just like a spinnerbait or a crankbait. Although not as effective as a search bait. It is usually fished by casting as close to cover as possible with the goal of placing the worm as close to a bass as possible.  Ideally, the lure enters the water with as little noise as possible, and with some controlled slack in the line, as bass will commonly attack the lure while it is sinking to the bottom.

Leaf valve

A leaf valve, also known as a reed valve, is a type of check valve that only allows fluid to flow in a single direction. These valves use thin pieces of metal, fiberglass, or carbon fiber, known as reeds, leaves, or petals, to form a barrier between two chambers. When air or fuel passes through the reeds, the flap opens and allows the fluid to enter the chamber. The reeds close when the flow stops, preventing backflow.

Applications

Motorcycles 
Leaf valves are commonly mounted in the intake port of most 2-stroke motorcycle engines. When the piston moves up in the cylinder, the valve opens and allows air and fuel to pass through the intake port and into the carburetor. When the piston moves down, the valve closes and the compressed air in the cylinder is forced out through the exhaust port. This motion of the leaves occurs autonomously due to a pressure difference between the intake port and the carburetor and helps to atomize the air/fuel mixture for better combustion and an increase in engine power. The leaf valve opens and closes with every revolution of the engine.

Pumps 
Leaf valves can sometimes be seen in some reciprocating compressors. The valve opens to allow the fluid to flow into the pressurized chamber when the compressor is performing a compressive stroke. The valve closes automatically when the compressor retracts in order to maintain the high pressure in the pressurized chamber.

Patents 
Patents exist in the United States which specify the mechanical use of leaf valves to control various types of fluids.

United States Patent 4930535 is a folding leaf valve which is described as a valve that, "folds upon itself to provide positive sealing of a pressurized chamber under a variety of pressure conditions. In particular, the valve stem folds to effectively close the lumen and provide a positive seal even at low differential pressure."

United States Patent 4795340 is a single leaf valve for a gas-fired boiler. It has a seat for a valve leaf, and a single valve leaf for the two constituents, this single valve leaf being flexible and deformable.... Application, in particular, to gas-fired boilers of the pulsed-combustion type."

United States Patent 5441133 – This hydraulic damper has a leaf valve stopper, the patented invention relates to a hydraulic damper. A leaf valve and a main valve are provided at an inner seat and an outer seat having different heights to each other arranged at outlet ports of a piston in such a way as they may be opened or closed... an attenuation force can be stabilized.. and the leaf valve is supported by the tapered or curved surface of the stopper when flexed, resulting in that no cracks are generated.

's-Heerenhoek

s-Heerenhoek is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Borsele, and lies about 12 km east of Middelburg.

History 
The village was first mentioned around 1750 as 'S Heerenhoek, and "means corner of the lord". It is located in the north-eastern corner of the Borsselepolder which was poldered in 1616. The lords refers to the lord of Schenge Castle in 's-Heer-Arendskerke. 's-Heerenhoek developed after 1616 in a grid structure. In 1669, the village was devastated by fire and a new church was built in 1672.

The Dutch Reformed church from 1672 was moved to Netherlands Open Air Museum in Arnhem between 1987 and 1988. The village developed into a Catholic area from the 1760s onwards. The Catholic St Willibrordus Church was built between 1873 and 1874 in Gothic Revival style and has a tall tower.

's-Heerenhoek was home to 772 people in 1840. The municipal council used to meet in the local inn. In 1881, it was outlawed to hold meetings in a locality which served alcohol. The problem was solved by separating a part of the inn and building its own front door. In 1892, a town hall was built.

's-Heerenhoek  was a separate municipality until 1970 when it was merged into Borsele.

International relations

Twin towns — Sister cities
Villa Carlos Paz is twinned with:
  Tarija, Bolivia

Notable events
In 2012, an Argentinian dog named Capitán was reported to have sat every evening for six years on his owner's grave. This was compounded by the fact that the family had never brought the dog to the graveyard and the dog had managed to find it himself. The municipal cemetery's director, Héctor Baccega, said that the first time he saw the dog, he arrived at the cemetery alone. The dog then did a couple of laps around the place before finding his master's grave — all on his own.  He arrives each day at 6:00 p.m.

The town has been used many times as the base of the Rally Argentina, with the streets of the town being a super special stage in 2010. It was also a stage of the 2015 and 2016 Dakar Rally.

On October 11, 2023, the town was evacuated due to a wildfire threatening the city.

Eclipse Center

Eclipse Center, formerly known as Beloit Plaza or Beloit Mall, is a mixed-use development and former shopping mall in Beloit, Wisconsin. It is undergoing a renovation with the aim of making it a pivotal point in the city. It formerly housed the department store Elder-Beerman, and still houses several Rock County government offices, a convention center and bar, and two School District of Beloit charter schools. There are also an automotive shop and a culinary program run by students from Beloit Memorial High School.

Overview
Set on a high profile,  site on a bluff overlooking Riverside Drive (US Highway 51) and the Rock River, the  Beloit Plaza was the first major shopping center in Rock County. Early success was followed by a decline resulting from competition with the Janesville Mall and developments in Janesville and Beloit with easy access to Interstate 90. Several redevelopment efforts failed, but with the involvement of Beloit billionaire Ken Hendricks beginning in 2004, a new plan to make it a mixed-use development with public services and other facilities has raised local hopes for the site.

Tenants included an Elder-Beerman store, Cardinal Stritch University, the University of Wisconsin–Extension, the Beloit Public Library, the Rock County Health Department, the Beloit Area Community Health Center,  School District of Beloit facilities, a convention and banquet facility, and smaller businesses.
Elder-Beerman closed in 2018.

The mall includes an event venue known as the Eclipse Events Centre.
