Cross–Sanaga–Bioko coastal forests

The Cross–Sanaga–Bioko coastal forests are a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion of west-central Africa. This is lush forest, rich in flora and birdlife.

Location and description
The region includes the lowland and coastal forests of southeastern Nigeria, southwestern Cameroon, and the lowlands of the island of Bioko, covering an area of . The ecoregion extends from the Cross River in southeastern Nigeria to the Sanaga River in southeastern Cameroon, and up to  inland from the Atlantic coast. In Nigeria the region more or less covers Cross River State.

The highlands of Mount Cameroon and of Bioko island, above 900 meters elevation, are a distinct ecoregion, the Mount Cameroon and Bioko montane forests, as are the Cameroonian Highlands forests further inland. To the west, across the Cross River, lies the Cross–Niger transition forests ecoregion. Towards the drier interior, the coastal forests transition to the Guinean forest–savanna mosaic to the north and the Northern Congolian forest–savanna mosaic to the east. South of the Sanaga River along the coast lies the Atlantic Equatorial coastal forests ecoregion.

The climate is wet with heavy rainfall all year round and many rivers cross the region as well as the Cross and the Sanaga.

Flora
The area is home to over 3,000 endemic species of plant, half of those found in West Africa, with nearly 2,000 found in Cameroon's Korup National Park alone.

Fauna
Wildlife in the area includes forest elephants and many primates such as Cross River gorillas and chimpanzees (particularly in Cross River National Park in Nigeria), while Preuss's red colobus (Procolobus pennanti preussi) is found only in this ecoregion and a number of others are nearly endemic including red-eared guenon (Cercopithecus erythrotis), crowned guenon (Cercopithecus pogonias), drills (Mandrillus leucophaeus), northern needle-clawed bushbaby (Euoticus pallidus), and Pennant's colobus, one population of which is found on Bioko. There is also a great variety of amphibians and reptiles including the goliath frog. The forests are also extremely rich in butterflies including the Charaxes superbus and Charaxes acraeoides.

Threats
In 2006, it was estimated that annually more than 1.3 million mammals, about 64,650 reptiles and at least 7,700 birds are hunted in the Cross–Sanaga–Bioko coastal forests for the bushmeat trade.

Conservation 
A 2017 assessment found that  , or 26%, of the ecoregion is in protected areas. One of the largest blocks of forest is in and around Korup National Park.

Visiting the region
Korup National Park in Cameroon is one of the most accessible ways into the forest, while in Nigeria Cross River State can be accessed from the capital Calabar, where there is a drill monkey sanctuary and from Calabar one can reach the Cross River National Park.

Bryon Baltimore

Bryon Donald Baltimore  (born August 26, 1952) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player, who played in the NHL and WHA.

Baltimore started his hockey career playing two seasons for the University of Alberta. He then joined the AHL's Springfield Kings. He was called up by the Los Angeles Kings for the 1974 playoffs but he did not see any ice time. In 1974, he signed with the Chicago Cougars of the WHA, and he played in the WHA until it folded. In the ensuing dispersal draft, he was picked up by the Edmonton Oilers, with whom he played two games in the 1979–80 season. Baltimore is one of only three Yukon-raised players to participate in an NHL game, the others being Jarrett Deuling and Dylan Cozens. 

After his hockey career ended, Baltimore became a litigation lawyer in Edmonton, Alberta, practicing at McCuaig Desrochers LLP where he serves as managing partner. Baltimore coached the now defunct Montana Magic in 1983-84 in the CHL. Team had 20/52/4 record. The league folded after this season.

Otomo (automobile)

The Otomo was a Japanese automobile built by Mr. Hayataya Toyokawa from 1924 to 1927 at the Hakuyosha Ironworks in Tokyo. It was meant to build upon his experimental Ales cars of 1921. Otomo offered an air-cooled 944 cc four-cylinder light car, available as two- or four-seat tourer or saloon (sedan), or as a van. This was joined in 1926 by a water-cooled 24 hp model. During this time, Otomo was one of only two Japanese automakers, joined by the Japanese established Gorham Automobile Company, financed by American aircraft engineer William R. Gorham. The remnants of the Gorham Automobile Company became the  Nissan Motor Company Ltd. The car found it difficult to compete with Ford Model T's being manufactured at Yokohama, and Chevrolet Capitols being built at Osaka, and the company was integrated with other smaller Japanese automobile manufacturers. The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake also disrupted the local economy, with manufacturing resources greatly affecting business operations.

Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada

The Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada () is the account into which taxes and revenue are deposited, and from which funds are withdrawn in order to defray the costs of public services.  Funds are deposited and withdrawn by the Receiver General for Canada.

Receiver General for Canada
Payments to and from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada are made by the Receiver General. The minister of public services and procurement is the receiver general for Canada. The Department of Public Works and Government Services Act, 1996 states: "In the Minister's capacity as Receiver General, the Minister shall exercise all the powers and perform all the duties and functions assigned to the receiver general by law."

Cheques distributed by the Government of Canada to citizens and organizations are made in the name of the Receiver General, just as payments to the Government are made out to the same.  The Receiver General by convention, however, never exercises any degree of discretion over payments to or from the Consolidated Revenue Fund, other than by following whatever directives might exist in relevant statutes and regulations.

Establishing the fund
The Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada is established by section 102 of the Constitution Act, 1867.  The Act went on to stipulate several charges to be made to the fund, some of which were recurring charges, and continue to be withdrawn from the fund today, in accordance with the Act.  The original balance of the fund was created from the consolidated financial resources of whatever revenue and taxation could be lawfully appropriated by the Legislatures of the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.  Taxes and revenue appropriated by the Government of Canada are deposited into the current Consolidated Revenue Fund.

The First Charge
The First Charge, established by Section 103 of the Constitution Act, 1867, is the cost of the actual maintenance of the Consolidated Revenue Fund itself.  In accordance with the Act, the costs of collection, management and receipt of the fund are to be the first charge made to the account.

The Second Charge
The Second Charge, as established by Section 104 of the Act, was the annual interest on the provincial debts of the provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick just before their union.  The application of this second charge to the Consolidated Revenue Fund has since ended, in any practical sense.  One could argue that the payment of the federal debt from the fund could constitute a modern variation on this Second Charge.

The Third Charge
The Third Charge, established by Section 105 of the Act, is the payment of the salary of the Governor General of Canada from the Consolidated Revenue Fund; by convention, this charge takes precedence over all others from the fund, even today.  The current salary of the Governor General beginning on January 1, 2013 is $270,602 per annum.

Cohiba (cigarette)

Cohiba (an Indigenous Cuban word for "tobacco") is a Cuban brand of cigarettes created by Habanos S.A. They are currently manufactured by the French-Spanish company Altadis, a subsidiary of Imperial Brands. Since 2003, "Brascuba Cigarrillos" has produced the brand in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Russia.

History 
Production of Cohiba cigarettes began in 1987 in Cuba as a joint venture between Habanos S.A. and Cita Tobaccos de Canarias, S.L. They are made entirely of a blend of Cuban black leaf tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region, and the tobacco is 100% additive free. Cohiba cigarettes are called cigarillos negros (black cigarettes) and known for their very strong flavor.

The brand is mainly sold in Cuba, and is distributed in many countries such as Spain and Austria.

Packaging

The pack consists out of a black-white Checkerboard pattern, bordered at the bottom by a large yellow-orange stripe. At the top, the word "Original" is written. Slightly underneath is the image of a man's profile, the primary identifier of the Cohiba brand, with the name "Cohiba" written underneath. At the bottom, the phrase "Cigarillos Cubanos" is written.

As with the cigars of the same name, the packaging is divided into two parts: a black and white checkered pattern and a plain orange, each with the lettering COHIBA and CIGARILLOS NEGROS in gold. The word "Cohiba" comes from the language of the Taino Indians and signifies a wrap made of tobacco leaves. Cohiba's logo is the head of the Taino chief Hatuey, who is considered Cuba's first revolutionary. In the recent history of Cuba under Castro, when the Cohiba brand was born, Hatuey was a welcome motif. The cigarettes themselves are white throughout and have two surrounding lines to visually distinguish the filter, as well as Hatuey's head, both again in gold.

The design of the packaging was slightly changed in 2006: size of the black and white pattern, font size, gold line around the lettering COHIBA and between the orange and black and white area. The design of the cigarette and its imprint has been retained. The current design also shows minimum changes: the surrounding golden line between the orange and the black and white area has been removed. The lettering Cigarillos Negros has been reduced in size so that it roughly corresponds to the height of the white squares. Approx. 70% of the back is legally printed with a black and white warning notice.

Clandestino

Clandestino is the first full-length solo album by Manu Chao, released in 1998. The album contains many soundbites throughout, two of which are bits of a speech by Subcomandante Marcos and, like Chao's subsequent albums, was mostly recorded by the musician himself in various locations around the world, using a small laptop—which is referred to in the liner notes as Estudio Clandestino. The French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 67th greatest French rock album (out of 100). The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. The album was ranked number 469 in Rolling Stones list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2020.

Onne

Onne, also known as Onne-Eleme, is a town in Eleme, Rivers State, Nigeria. The town is a host to one of the two prominent ports in Nigeria. It is bordered by the towns of Alode, Ebubu, and the Ngololo River, which is one of the tributaries of the Bonny River.

Port and shipyards
Onne is a relatively major port in the region and has several quays with facilities for cargo ships up to 60,000 gross tons.  It is also the main base for the offshore activity in the region, and a large number of supply-vessels call at Onne every week. This section of the port is called Onne Oil and Gas Free Zone and contains several quays to cater to off shore supply vessels and a shipyard (West Atlantic Shipyard). The Onne Oil and Gas Free Zone also contains Shell Nigeria Exploration & Production Company, one of the largest bases of Shell offshore in Africa including berths leased out to ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies and other oil companies.

The port consists of three regions adjacent to the Niger delta: Federal lighter terminal, Onne port complex and Federal ocean limited (which consists of facilities for offshore oil and gas supply vessels).

Stores and freshwater are available as well as fuel and minor repairs. It also has a container terminal (West Africa Container Terminal) with a deep draft of 12 meters and frequented by vessels up to 4000 TEU in size belonging to Maersk lines and Pacific International Lines and CMA CGM.

Administration
The city is part of Odido District in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. Onne has four clans, Agbeta, Alejor, Ekara and Ogoloma. There are other smaller settlements within Onne, such as Eyaa camp. The people of Onne speak Eleme language.

Live on Arrival

Live on Arrival was a BBC Radio 4 series of six episodes aired in 1988. It was written by Steve Punt and featured Punt together with Hugh Dennis, Flip Webster and Guy Jackson. The format was narrative-based and featured surreal parodies and topical comment, broadcast live-to-air from the Paris Studio in London. A second series was commissioned but, owing to the start of The Mary Whitehouse Experience in 1989, never made. Punt and Dennis proved a successful comedy team and elements of the format survived in a more refined form as The Now Show, which began ten years later.

The pilot was produced and directed by David Tyler.

4-Ethylguaiacol

4-Ethylguaiacol, often abbreviated to 4-EG, is a phenolic compound with the molecular formula C9H12O2. It can be produced in wine and beer by Brettanomyces. It is also frequently present in bio-oil produced by pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass.

Winemaking 
It is produced along with 4-ethylphenol (4-EP) in wine and beer by the spoilage yeast Brettanomyces. When it is produced by the yeast to concentrations greater than the sensory threshold of  >600 μg/L, it can contribute bacon, spice, clove, or smoky aromas to the wine. On their own these characters can be quite attractive in a wine, however as the compound usually occurs with 4-EP whose aromas can be more aggressive, the presence of the compound often signifies a wine fault. The ratio in which 4-EP and 4-EG are present can greatly affect the organoleptic properties of the wine.

Bio-oil 
4-Ethylguaiacol can also be produced by pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. It is produced from the lignin, along with many of the other phenolic compounds present in bio-oil. In particular, 4-ethylguaiacol is derived from guaiacyl in the lignin.

Tim McGraw (album)

Tim McGraw is the debut album by American country music artist of the same name. It was released on April 20, 1993 by Curb Records. It includes the singles "What Room Was the Holiday In", "Welcome to the Club", "Two Steppin' Mind", and "Memory Lane", none of which reached the Top 40 on the country charts. This is the only studio album of McGraw's career not to achieve a music recording sales certification or to enter the Top Country Albums charts.

Content
The album's lead single, "What Room Was the Holiday In", was produced by Doug Johnson; the rest of the album was produced by Byron Gallimore (who has produced all of McGraw's subsequent work) and James Stroud.

The tracks "Memory Lane" and "Tears in the Rain" were co-written by Joe Diffie, the former had been recorded by Keith Palmer on his debut album, while Diffie recorded his own version of "Tears in the Rain" for his 1995 album Life's So Funny. "The Only Thing That I Have Left" had been recorded by George Strait on his 1982 Strait from the Heart album.

Critical reception

Brian Mansfield and Thom Jurek of Allmusic rated the album two and a half stars out of five, saying that it was not memorable aside from three of its singles, but that it showed the "roots of [his] individuality".

NHL Center Ice

NHL Center Ice is an out-of-market sports package distributed by most cable and satellite providers in the United States and Canada. The package allows its subscribers to see up to forty out-of-market National Hockey League games a week using local and national television networks.

NHL Center Ice includes Canadian broadcasts, such as games broadcast on Sportsnet, as well as Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts on CBC, Sportsnet, and Citytv. It also has included out-of-region games broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and TNT/TBS. Occasionally, French-language feeds from TVA Sports may be used if no English-language broadcast is available. Pay-per-view games (e.g. Edmonton Oilers) are included as well. For some cable viewers and those subscribing via Dish Network or DirecTV, both teams' feeds are available for most games. Other cable subscribers may be limited to only one feed and also have a smaller selection of high-definition games.

Some providers offer high definition broadcasts when available. A number of providers put Center Ice on the same channels as MLB Extra Innings; hockey often gets priority because the conflict occurs during April, at the end of the regular season and beginning of the playoffs.

A free preview is usually shown during the first three weeks of the NHL season and right after (or a few weeks after) the All Star Game (or, until 2014, the Olympic break in years when the Winter Olympics occur).

Games not televised on NHL Center Ice
Games which are nationally televised in the U.S. on ABC, ESPN, TNT, TBS, or NHL Network. (Subscribers get NHL Network for free when they buy Center Ice, unless they subscribe through Spectrum  or Verizon Fios, which at this time do not include NHL Network as part of the Center Ice package.)
High-definition feeds of games originating on MSG, MSG+, MSG Western New York, MSG2, and MSG+2 on Dish Network
OTA Broadcasts (Only shown when it is the only broadcast available for that game). 
RDS and RDS2 (French-speaking Canadiens broadcast); these broadcasts are shown only when there is not an English broadcast available.

Yellow Thunder

Yellow Thunder (c. 1774–1874), was a chief of the Ho-Chunk (or Winnebago) tribe. He signed two treaties with the United States in which his Ho-Chunk name was given as Wa-kun-cha-koo-kah and Waun-kaun-tshaw-zee-kau.

In 1837, Yellow Thunder was part of a Ho-Chunk delegation headed by principal chief Carrymaunee and including noted leader Waukon Decorah, that went to Washington, D.C. to seek redress for American encroachment on their land in Wisconsin. Even though many of the delegates had been U.S. allies during the 1832 Black Hawk War, they were pressured to sign a removal treaty ceding all Ho-Chunk land west of the Mississippi River to the United States. The delegates thought that the treaty gave the Ho-Chunks eight years to leave Wisconsin, which would leave them time to negotiate a new treaty, but the wording on the document gave the tribe eight months to vacate Wisconsin and resettle on reservations in Iowa and Minnesota.

In 1840, U.S. Army General Henry Atkinson was assigned to round up the Ho-Chunks who refused to leave. Two chiefs, Yellow Thunder and Little Soldier, were arrested. Realizing that further resistance would lead to violence against their people, the chiefs agreed to cooperate and were released. Yellow Thunder eventually moved off the Iowa reservation and returned to a  farm near Portage, Wisconsin, where he died in late February, 1874.

San Antorium

San Antorium was Lowlife's fourth album, released in 1991 in Scotland on Nightshift Records.  The LP was recorded at Tower Studios in Glasgow, Scotland. Personnel changes prior to the album's recording involved the near-simultaneous departures of guitarist Hamish McIntosh and drummer Grant McDowall, who were replaced by Hugh Duggie and Greg Orr, respectively.  Orr's role was somewhat limited as several of the tracks employed drum programming and/or drum loops.  LTM Recordings  reissued much of the band's entire back catalogue on CD in 2006, and San Antorium was released with five bonus tracks taken from the band's "Black Sessions" demo album.

Sheek Louch

Sean Divine Jacobs (born September 30, 1974), better known as Sheek Louch (or simpy Sheek), is an American rapper best known as a member of The LOX and founder of D-Block Records, along with Styles P and Jadakiss.

Personal life and career 
At around the age of 12, he was inspired to rhyme by his friend Jason Phillips (Jadakiss). He and Jason would later form The LOX with Styles P. Mary J. Blige "discovered" the trio, and they would soon be signed to Sean Combs's Bad Boy Records. Their first album, Money, Power & Respect, was released on January 13, 1998.

Sheek and his fellow LOX members later parted ways with Bad Boy Records, and signed a record deal with their management company, Ruff Ryders, after the company formed a record label in the late 1990s. Ruff Ryders was also home to DMX. The group's second album, We Are the Streets, was released on January 25, 2000. Meanwhile, Sheek, an aspiring entrepreneur, began working on their D-Block brand, building a studio, and looking for new talent to join their roster. In October 2006 he opened a D-Block car wash and gas station in their hometown of Yonkers, New York.

Sheek released his solo debut Walk Witt Me on Universal Records through D-Block Records. Early promotional material, such as within the liner notes of Styles P's album A Gangster and a Gentleman, indicate that the album's original title was Walk With Me. His fifth album, Silverback Gorilla, released in 2008, featured his hit single, "Good Love", which sampled Betty Wright's "Tonight Is The Night" and "Pure Love" songs.

He was also featured on an episode of World's Wildest Police Videos, which demonstrated his notorious past.

He has worked somewhat prolifically with Ghostface Killah. They collaborated on a joint album titled Wu Block featuring members of Wu-Tang Clan and D-Block after drawing inspiration from one another while touring and recording. In January 2017 Ghostface and Sheek Louch announced on their respective social media accounts that a second collaborative album was in the works.

Bertram Forer

Bertram R. Forer (24 October 1914 – 6 April 2000) was an American psychologist best known for describing the Forer effect, sometimes referred to as subjective validation.

Biography
Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, Forer graduated from University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1936. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from University of California, Los Angeles.

He served as a psychologist and administrator in a military hospital in France during World War II. Upon return he worked in a Veterans Administration mental clinic in Los Angeles; and in private practice in Malibu, California.

In his classic 1948 experiment, Forer administered a personality test to his students. Rather than scoring the tests and giving individual assessments, he gave all the students exactly the same analysis copied from a newspaper astrology column. The students were then asked to evaluate the description on a scale of zero through five, with five being the most accurate. The average evaluation was 4.26. The experiment has been repeated hundreds of times since 1948, and the average remains about 4.2.

The Forer effect shows that people tend to accept generalised descriptions of their personalities without realising that the same evaluation could apply to nearly anyone else, because people want the results to be true. This experiment is frequently cited as criticisms of other personality tests like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Bertram Forer was married to Lucille Kremith Forer, best known as the main author of the book "The Birth Order Factor".
They have two sons, Stephen K. Forer and William R. Forer. Bertram's sister is voice artist June Foray.

Candeleros Formation

The Candeleros Formation (formerly known as the Candeleros Member of the "Río Limay Formation") is a geologic formation that crops out in the Río Negro, Neuquén, and Mendoza provinces of northern Patagonia, Argentina. It is the oldest formation in the Neuquén Group and belongs to the Rio Limay Subgroup. Formerly that subgroup was treated as a formation, and the Candeleros Formation was known as the Candeleros Member.

Description 
The type locality of the Candeleros Formation is Candeleros Hill in Neuquén Province, after which the formation was named by Wichmann in 1929. This formation unconformably overlies the Lohan Cura Formation, and it is in turn overlain by the Huincul Formation, also a unit of the Neuquén Group. The sediments of the latter are of lighter greenish and yellow colors and the boundary between the Candeleros and Huincul formations is easily recognizable.

The Candeleros Formation is almost  thick in some sections. Overall, the formation represents a part of the ancient Kokorkom desert with braided river system, made up mostly of sandstones and conglomerates. There are also isolated sections that represent eolian (wind-blown) deposition, as well as siltstones deposited under swamp conditions. Paleosols (soil deposits) are common in some sections as well.

Fossil content 

The Candeleros Formation has a very diverse fossil fauna, including:
 dipnoan fish (including Ceratodus argentinus)
 frogs (including Avitabatrachus)
 Rhynchocephalians (including Priosphenodon avelasi and Tika giacchinoi)
 primitive snakes (including Najash rionegrina)
 several turtles (including 2 species of Prochelidella)
 an azhdarchid pterosaur, the oldest known from South America
 rebbachisaurid sauropods (Limaysaurus, Nopcsaspondylus and Rayososaurus)
 titanosaurian sauropods (including Andesaurus and a second unnamed huge titanosaur)
 abelisaurid theropods (Ekrixinatosaurus and unnamed form)
 a carcharodontosaurid (Giganotosaurus)
 a dromaeosaurid theropod (Buitreraptor gonzalezorum)
 an alvarezsauroid theropod (Alnashetri)
 a basal coelurosaur (Bicentenaria)
 Iguanodonts
 a notosuchian (Araripesuchus)
 a basal thyreophoran (Jakapil)
 cladotherian mammals (including Cronopio dentiacutus)
 ichnofossils of Sousaichnum monettae, Limayichnus major, Bonaparteichnum tali, Bressaniichnus patagonicus, Deferraiichnum mapuchense, Abelichnus astigarragae and Picunichnus benedettoi

In 2021, fossil material of a giant titanosaur sauropod, distinct from Andesaurus and probably exceeding Patagotitan in size, was described from the formation by Otero et al. (2021).

Saturday Morning Flashback

Saturday Morning Flashback is a program airing from 9 AM until 12 noon Saturday mornings on Chicago radio station WXRT. It has aired continually in this time slot since 1985. The show, once  a four hour program hosted by former WXRT DJ Wendy Rice was reduced to three hours after her departure.
The show is now hosted by Frank E. Lee, Johnny Mars, and Annalisa Parziale on a rotating basis. Parziale joined the rotation in August 2022, replacing host Richard Milne several months after his resignation from the station. Parziale’s first show covered 1973, airing August 6, 2022.

The program features contributions from several other WXRT DJs including Lin Brehmer and Marty Lennartz, who provides the voice for Chicago's hometown movie critic "the regular guy". Each week, Saturday Morning Flashback highlights the key music and cultural events encompassing a single year from the rock and roll era. The years covered range from 1967 on into the late 2000s, with new years gradually added in chronological order; each year is typically featured once every six to nine months, but the choices fit no other predictable pattern. Beginning in 2021 some shows were split between two years, with each year receiving 90 minutes on air.  The most recent years covered were a split show of 2007/2008 on June 25, 2022 hosted by Johnny Mars;.

All show playlists are posted at the station’s Audacy hosted webpage and on social media after each show.

In 2006, WXRT announced that, after 21 years, Saturday Morning Flashback would air its final show on April 1. This "finale" would feature ads for XRT's new Saturday morning programming, including a radio version of Fox's hit TV show "24". This turned out to be nothing more than an elaborate April Fool's Day hoax and programming director Norm Winer addressed listeners at the end of the show to ensure them that this popular program would not go away any time soon.

Infonet

Infonet was a Malaysian teletext service. It was formerly known as Beriteks (a combination of the Malay word Berita, meaning news, and Teks, which is a borrowed word from the English language meaning text). This teletext system was launched in early 1985 by TV3, before starting on the RTM channels later in the year. The service at launch was operated by New Straits Times.  While RTM1 and RTM2 were still transmitting Teletext, the contents of the transmission were different from those offered by TV3's service, which was then also transmitted under the name Beriteks. In the case of RTM1 in its first year, it carried information on foodstuff prices and information on eateries and shopping. As Beriteks is carried on RTM and TV3, they are treated "as a service" and not for competition. 

RTM1 and RTM2 has ceased teletext transmission as of 2000, and TV3 was the only TV station in Malaysia transmitting Teletext. None of TV3's sister companies, 8TV, TV9 and NTV7, are transmitting teletext.

Infonet ceased operation from 1 January 2008. Therefore, there are now no TV networks, channels and stations transmitting Teletext in Malaysia.

Infonet uses the BBC Ceefax teletext system.

Spinedace

Lepidomeda is a genus of cyprinid fish, commonly known as the spinedaces, found in western North America. Of the four known species, one is extinct and two are threatened. They appear to be fairly close to the leatherside chub and the spikedaces (genus Meda), but the phylogeny and indeed the validity of the proposed "plagopterin" clade is insufficiently resolved.

Species 
The genus contains these species:
 Lepidomeda albivallis R. R. Miller & C. L. Hubbs, 1960 (White River spinedace)
 Lepidomeda aliciae (Jouy, 1881) southern leatherside chub 
 Lepidomeda copei(Jordan & Gilbert, 1881) northern leatherside chub 
 †Lepidomeda altivelis R. R. Miller & C. L. Hubbs, 1960 (Pahranagat spinedace)
 Lepidomeda mollispinis R. R. Miller & C. L. Hubbs, 1960 (virgin spinedace)
 Lepidomeda vittata Cope, 1874 (Little Colorado spinedace)

Ivan Petrovsky

Ivan Georgievich Petrovsky () (18 January 1901 – 15 January 1973) (the family name is also transliterated as Petrovskii or Petrowsky) was a Soviet mathematician working mainly in the field of partial differential equations. He greatly contributed to the solution of Hilbert's 19th and 16th problems, and discovered what are now called Petrovsky lacunas. He also worked on the theories of boundary value problems, probability, and on the topology of algebraic curves and surfaces.

Biography 

Petrovsky was a student of Dmitri Egorov. Among his students were Olga Ladyzhenskaya, Yevgeniy Landis, Olga Oleinik and Sergei Godunov.

Petrovsky taught at Steklov Institute of Mathematics. He was a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences since 1946 and was awarded Hero of Socialist Labor in 1969. He was the president of Moscow State University (1951–1973) and the head of the International Congress of Mathematicians (Moscow, 1966). He is buried in the cemetery of the Novodevichy Convent in Moscow.
