The Adversary (Ihsahn album)

The Adversary is the debut studio album by Norwegian black metal musician Ihsahn. Released on 10 April 2006, it is the first in a conceptual trilogy of albums including angL and After. It features a guest vocal appearance by Ulver's Garm.  The album has been noted for its stylistic diversity, encompassing extreme metal as well as progressive and classic metal influences.

Background
The album combines various extreme metal genres with progressive and classic metal in the vein of Judas Priest.   Ihsahn described The Adversary as "all over the place, with me trying out other subgenres in metal that I didn’t really have a go at before." He further explained of the album's diversity that it had its origins in a certain nostalgia:

Ihsahn described his intention with the production as realizing "a more sparse sound picture, inspired by more '70s metal. I also mixed that album in an analog studio with equipment from the '50s, '60s and '70s and didn't overdub any guitars."

Several songs quote Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which Ihsahn has cited this as a key influence "not just because of the philosophical themes, but also the beauty of the language, the whole kind of religious undertone in this very ungodly philosophy."

Overnight Celebrity

"Overnight Celebrity" is the second single from Twista's 2004 album Kamikaze. The song was produced and features uncredited vocals by Kanye West and uncredited violin by Miri Ben-Ari. It contains a sample of the 1978 song "Cause I Love You" By Lenny Williams. The song reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 11, 2004. The song received a nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards.

Content
The song is about Twista meeting a woman on the street and telling her about all the things he could do for her, while pointing out her looks. He tells the woman he can make her a celebrity overnight.  The song "Prototype" from Outkast is referenced in the song when Twista says "Dre told me you were the prototype". The music video was directed by Erik White and features Israeli violinist Miri Ben-Ari (who played the strings in the record), models Miya Granatella and Esther Baxter, Bishop Don "Magic" Juan and Chicago rappers Do or Die, Da Brat, Rip, White Boy, Crucial Conflict, and Bump J. While he raps the song's hook, Kanye West did not appear in the video.

In a version shown on BET, "MTV Awards" was muted out due to the Viacom-owned network being competition for the dueling networks.

Lungitz

Lungitz is a village in the community of Katsdorf, Perg district of Upper Austria, Austria.

During World War II it was the site of slave labour and the "Gusen III" sub-camp of the Gusen concentration camp later on. Although camp Gusen III was not opened earlier than December 1944, inmates of camp Gusen worked in a brick production plant at Lungitz already in 1940. In this early period, these inmates drove by truck every day from Gusen via St. Georgen to Lunigtz. With 1943 inmates of camp Gusen started the construction of a bakery for the Mauthausen-Gusen complex that only became operational in February 1945. In 1943 inmates of Gusen started also a warehouse for aircraft components in free halls of the brick production plant which were needed in the DEST joint-venture aircraft plants at St. Georgen and Gusen. Bakery and warehouse had full railway connection to the industrial park at St. Georgen and Gusen. Camp Gusen III was the first in a row of concentration camps that was liberated by Al Kosiek and his 23 men on May 5, 1945].

Choose Me (short story collection)

Choose Me is a collection of short stories by Canadian writer Evelyn Lau. It was first published by Doubleday Canada in 1999.

Stories

"Family" is about a woman who is sleeping with a married man. She stays as a visitor in his house while he and his wife are away, and goes through their things. While the primary theme of the story is sex, Choose Me has surprised readers with its "unflattering, often harsh, depictions of old men's bodies from the perspective of their young female lovers." The other themes of the story are lust, loneliness, age, and the Electra complex.

STNNNG

STNNNG (pronounced 'Stunning') was an American noise rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formed in 2003, they played over 400 live shows in the United States, England, France, and Belgium. STNNNG released four full-length albums on the Twin Cities-based Modern Radio record label before splitting up in 2017.

History
For their first two years as a band, STNNNG performed as the quartet of Chris Besinger (vocals), Adam Burt (guitar), Nathan Nelson (guitar), and J. Michael Ward (drums). Their first releases, 2004's split 7-inch with Chicago's The Means and 2005's debut album, Dignified Sissy, were recorded with this lineup. The cover of Dignified Sissy features Bear Attack, a painting by historical artist Mort Kunstler.

STNNNG took first place in the annual "Picked To Click" band poll in Minneapolis' City Pages in 2005. 

STNNNG's second album, Fake Fake, was the first to feature Jesse Kwakenat (also of Heroine Sheiks) on bass. Fake Fake was recorded and engineered by Mike Lust at Lust Manor in Chicago.

STNNNG's 3rd full-length album, The Smoke of My Will, was released in October 2010. The album was the band's first after the departure of original drummer J. Michael Ward in August 2009. He was replaced by Ben Ivascu (also known for playing drums in Poliça, Marijuana Death Squads, and Signal to Trust) as a permanent member.

In February 2013, STNNNG released Empire Inward, an eight-song album recorded at Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, Illinois, and engineered and mixed by Steve Albini.

In 2017 they released Veterans of Pleasure, the band's final album, on which they again worked with Albini.

STNNNG announced their immediate disbanding after a show in September 2017. 

The band's final release was a split EP with Child Bite, released in November 2017.

NGC 1128

NGC 1128 is a dumbbell galaxy in the Abell 400 galaxy cluster. At the center of the galaxy is 3C 75, a radio source, and contains two orbiting supermassive black holes that may be merging. Computer simulations indicate that these two black holes will gradually spiral in toward each other until they merge. Lewis Swift is credited with the discovery of NGC 1128 in 1886.

Pharyngula

The pharyngula is a stage in the embryonic development of vertebrates. At this stage, the embryos of all vertebrates are similar, having developed features typical of vertebrates, such as the beginning of a spinal cord. Named by William Ballard, the pharyngula stage follows the blastula, gastrula and neurula stages.

Morphological similarity in vertebrate embryos
At the pharyngula stage, all vertebrate embryos show remarkable similarities, i.e., it is a "phylotypic stage" of the sub-phylum, containing the following features:
 notochord
 dorsal hollow nerve cord
 post-anal tail, and
 a series of paired branchial grooves.

The branchial grooves are matched on the inside by a series of paired gill pouches. In fish, the pouches and grooves eventually meet and form the gill slits, which allow water to pass from the pharynx over the gills and out the body.

In the other vertebrates, the grooves and pouches disappear. In humans, the chief trace of their existence is the eustachian tube and auditory canal which (interrupted only by the eardrum) connect the pharynx with the outside of the head.

The existence of a common pharyngula stage for vertebrates was first proposed by German biologist Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) in 1874.

The hourglass model
The observation of the conservation of animal morphology during the embryonic phylotypic period, where there is maximal similarity between the species within each animal phylum, has led to the proposition that embryogenesis diverges more extensively in the early and late stages than the middle stage, and is known as the hourglass model. Comparative genomic studies suggest that the phylotypic stage is the maximally conserved stage during embryogenesis.

Titche-Goettinger

Titche-Goettinger (later known as Titche's)  was a department store chain based in Dallas, Texas (United States). It was established in 1902 and was a major player in the Dallas retail market until its merger with Joske's, which was later  absorbed by Dillard's.

History 
The Titche-Goettinger Department Store, formed in 1902 by Max Goettinger and Edward Titche, opened on the southeast corner of Elm and Murphy streets. Two years later, they moved to the Wilson Building. In 1928, the company began construction on a new location between Main and Elm streets at St. Paul Street to house more merchandise, including ready-to-wear apparel.

In December 1928, before the new building was complete, Titche-Goettinger was sold to Hahn Department Stores. Hahn would also purchase the San Antonio, Texas, retailer Joske's the following year. The Great Depression affected the retail market during Hahn's ownership, changing the market. The store's competitive edge was largely lost to hometown rivals Neiman Marcus and Sanger-Harris. In 1935, Hahn Department Stores changed its name to Allied Stores Corporation.

The department store expanded to the suburbs in the 1950s. Allied merged the Titche-Goettinger stores with Joske's in 1979, which was eventually purchased by Dillard's in 1987.

Flagship store 

The downtown Dallas flagship store is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a key contributing structure in Dallas' Harwood Historic District and Main Street District. It opened in 1929 and closed in 1987, and now houses loft-style apartments and the Universities Center at Dallas.

Paradores in Puerto Rico

Paradores in Puerto Rico is a brand of small inns similar to bed and breakfasts that have government permission to call themselves  based on a set of criteria. These inns are scattered across the island countryside, outside the main metropolitan area of San Juan. Often called "country inns" in English,  in Puerto Rico are known for their hospitality, affordable rates, exotic locations, and traditional Puerto Rican cuisine. They are frequented by guests looking to enjoy the local customs and charm.

History
 
Traditionally, a parador in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries was an establishment where travelers could seek lodging, and usually, food and drink, similar to an inn. In Spain since 1928, a parador is a state-owned luxury hotel, usually located in a converted historic building such as a monastery or castle, or in a modern building with a panoramic view of a historic and monumental city.

The Puerto Rico Tourism Company established the  brand in 1973 under the administration of Governor Luis A. Ferre, who wanted to enhance the tourism sector of the island. The company runs an enterprise known by the same name, , which are typically small, one-of-a-kind, locally owned and operated hotels located in rural areas throughout the island commonwealth.

The inns work with FEMA to provide temporary residence when a major emergency, such as a hurricane or earthquake, displaces people in Puerto Rico.

Participation

In Puerto Rico for an inn to be included on its list of , it has to be a privately owned hotel participating in a special government program. This program assures a certain level of quality in the service, cuisine and other aspects of a tourist's stay.
Currently there are 13 of these inns in Puerto Rico, with the biggest concentration around the west coast of the island. In 2018, the brand announced they had invested more than a million dollars in renovations. During the 2019 Easter spring holiday, some inns reported 100% occupancy rates, thanks also in part to local tourism.

Current paradores

The following are the paradores that were operational as of 2019:
 Boquemar in Boquerón, Cabo Rojo
 Combate Beach Resort (Playa El Combate) in Cabo Rojo
 Costa del Mar in Yabucoa
 El Buen Café in Hatillo 
 El Faro in Aguadilla

 Palmas de Lucía in Yabucoa
 Turtle Bay Inn in La Parguera, Lajas
 Villas del Mar Hau in Isabela 
 Villa Parguera in La Parguera, Lajas
 Villas Sotomayor in Adjuntas

Past paradores
In 2003, there were 23 paradores. Some of the paradores that were on the list then include:
 Parador Oasis in San Germán
 Parador El Guajataca in Quebradillas

Tom Cue

Tom Cue (c.1850 – 1920) was a gold prospector from Western Australia. The town of Cue is named after him for his discovery of gold in its area in 1892.

His best finding was in 1895 in an area he named Woronga, called by others Cue's Patch (referring to the rich patch of shallow alluvial gold there). As there was already a town named after him the town eventually became known as Agnew.

So What (Miles Davis composition)

"So What" is the first track on the 1959 album Kind of Blue by American trumpeter Miles Davis.

It is one of the best-known examples of modal jazz, set in the Dorian mode and consisting of 16 bars of D Dorian, followed by eight bars of E Dorian and another eight of D Dorian. This AABA structure puts it in the thirty-two-bar format of American popular song.

The piano-and-bass introduction for the piece was written by Gil Evans for Bill Evans (no relation) and Paul Chambers on Kind of Blue. An orchestrated version by Gil Evans of this introduction is later to be found on a television broadcast given by Miles' first quintet (minus Cannonball Adderley who was ill that day) and the Gil Evans Orchestra; the orchestra gave the introduction, after which the quintet played the rest of "So What". The use of the double bass to play the central theme makes the piece unusual. This arrangement was later performed and recorded as part of the album Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall. 

While the track is taken at a very moderate tempo on Kind of Blue, it is played at a speedy tempo on later live recordings by the quintet, such as Miles Davis & John Coltrane The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6, and even faster by Miles Davis's second quintet in the mid 1960's for example on Four & More.

The distinctive voicing employed by Bill Evans for the chords that interject the head: from the bottom up, three notes at intervals of a perfect fourth followed by a major third, has been given the name "So What chord" (shown below) by such theorists as Mark Levine.

The same chord structure was later used by John Coltrane for his standard "Impressions". Both pieces originate in Ahmad Jamal's 1955 cover of Morton Gould's "Pavanne"

In 2021, "So What" was ranked 492 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Street Cinema

Street Cinema is the first and only album by the American hip hop group Sporty Thievz.

Background
Street Cinema was released on August 18, 1998, through Ruffhouse Records and was co-produced by Ski and Sporty Thievz member King Kirk. The album was one of the final to be released through Ruffhouse, as the label was shut down less than a year later.

Chart-wise, the album did not make much of an impact, only making it to 66 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and 16 on the Top Heatseekers.  The album's lead single, however, did. "No Pigeons" peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the group their only top 40 hit during their brief existence, as well as #1 on the Hot Rap Singles. In addition to "No Pigeons", "Cheapskate" and its remix also became minor hits on the Billboard charts.

"No Pigeons" was certified gold by the RIAA on July 9, 1999, for sales of over 500,000 copies.

Reception

Allmusic gave the album a solid three out of a possible five stars, calling it "there's too much junk floating around the album to make the good stuff instantly recognizable. Still, that handful of good cuts makes the entire enterprise worth investigating once, even if you find that you won't return to this Street Cinema that often."

So What chord

In jazz harmony, a So What chord is a particular 5-note chord voicing. From the bottom note upwards, it consists of three perfect fourth intervals followed by a major third interval. It was employed by Bill Evans in the "'amen' response figure" to the head of the Miles Davis tune "So What".

For example, an "E minor" So What chord is an Em11 voicing,:

The So What chord is often used as an alternative to quartal voicings and may be used in diatonic and chromatic planing. It is identical to the standard tuning of a guitar's five lowest strings. It is essentially a minor eleventh chord, arranged as it would be played on a guitar (1, 4, 7, 3, 5).

It may also be thought of as a five-note quartal chord (built from fourths) with the top note lowered by a semitone. More modern sounding than "tertial chords" (built from thirds), it is useful in comping; since the structure of quartal harmony is usually vague, many roots may be applied to the So What chord and it may work well in various contexts including, "a major scale context; a Mixolydian mode context; or a minor context". For example, without changing the keys that are played, the same Em11 chord described above can also function as a C6Δ9, Asus47(9), G69, Dsus24, 6 [no 7], Flydian (FΔ91113 [no 5]) or Fphrygian (Fm791113 [no 5]).

Other jazz recordings that make extensive use of the chord include McCoy Tyner's "Peresina" and Gary Burton's "Gentle Wind and Falling Tear". Tyner's use of similar voicings was an early influence on Chick Corea; it can be heard in tunes such as "Steps" and "Matrix" (both featured on his landmark album Now He Sings, Now He Sobs).

The term "So What chord" is used extensively in Mark Levine's landmark work The Jazz Piano Book, wherein he describes a range of uses for which the voicing might be employed. Frank Mantooth dedicated two chapters to the chord under the name "Miracle voicing" in his work Voicings for Jazz Keyboard.

Seth Ward (Methodist bishop)

Seth Ward (15 November 1858 – 20 September 1909) was an American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, elected in 1906.

Birth and family
He was born  in a log cabin near Bryan, Texas, a son of Samuel Goode and Sara Ann Ward.  His parents educated him at home.  Seth married Margaret E. South of Bryan 5 January 1886.  They had three children.

Ordained ministry
Seth was ordained to the Methodist ministry in 1881.  After serving as a junior preacher on the Corsicana Circuit, he was appointed successively to Centerville, Kosse, Calvert,  the St. James Church of Galveston, Huntsville, the Houston Circuit, and the Shearn Church of Houston.  He was Secretary of the Texas Annual Conference of the M.E. Church, South (1898–1900).  He was appointed Conference Secretary of Education in 1900.   As head of field work for the Twentieth Century Commission on Education, Rev. Ward succeeded in securing an average of a dollar per member for Methodist educational work.  After the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, he united St. John and St. James churches into the First Methodist Church of Galveston.  For four years he was also Assistant Missionary Secretary of his denomination.

Episcopal ministry
The Rev. Seth Ward was elected to the episcopacy by the General Conference which met in Birmingham, Alabama.  He was the first native Texan to become a bishop in the Methodist Church.

Fact (US magazine)

Fact was an American quarterly magazine that commented on controversial topics. It was in circulation between January 1964 and August 1967.

History
The publisher of Fact was Trident Press based in New York City. The magazine was edited by Ralph Ginzburg and Warren Boroson and designed by Herb Lubalin.

Fact was notable for having been sued by Barry Goldwater over a 1964 issue entitled "The Unconscious of a Conservative: A special Issue on the Mind of Barry Goldwater". In Goldwater v. Ginzburg, a federal jury awarded Goldwater $1 in compensatory damages and $75,000 in punitive damages, to punish Ginzburg and the magazine for being reckless. The American Psychiatric Association then issued the Goldwater rule reaffirming medical privacy and forbidding commenting on a patient whom the individual psychiatrist has not personally examined. 

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the award and the Supreme Courts denied a petition for certiorari (review); Justice Black and Justice Douglas joined a dissenting opinion, rather unusual at the time (1970) on orders denying "cert."

The Moriss Taylor Show

The Moriss Taylor Show was one of the longest-running locally produced television shows in history. Hosted by longtime radio personality and producer Moriss Taylor, the show (based in Chico, California) was a weekly country music-variety staple featuring such musicians as Charlie Robinson, Ray Ecox, Yvonne Ambrose-Haygood, Bill Teague, Mark Alstad, Rosie Mello, Jolene Farrara, Mark Pacheco, and Mel Wilson. Announcer Ron Palmer and news reporter Rick Rigsby also made appearances on the show.

The show started in 1956, three years after the launch of its host television station KHSL-TV. It was produced at both KHSL-TV studio locations on 4th and Wall Streets from 1956-84 and on Silverbell Road from 1984-95. It was broadcast on Channel 12 from 1956-95 and was shown in reruns on KHSL-TV until 1997 when it was cancelled following the acquisition of the station by Catamount Broadcasting.  

From 1997 to 2015, repeats (usually early 1990s shows) aired on KRVU in Chico.  

In 2015, KRVU cancelled The Moriss Taylor Show following an ownership change of the station when they were purchased by Bonten Media Group, then-owners of KRCR-TV in Redding, California, a chief rival of KHSL-TV since 1956.  Episodes can now be seen on YouTube.

Eel catfish

The eel catfish (Channallabes apus) is an airbreathing catfish found in the muddy swamps of the tropics of Central Africa. It grows up to 32.7 cm in total length (12.9 in), and is notable for its ability to propel itself out of the water to catch prey.

The thin, eel-shaped body of C. apus is black or dark brown, with widely spaced spines. A suprabranchial organ, formed by tree-like structures from the second and fourth gill arches, allows the eel catfish to take in oxygen directly from the air for short periods. Its eyes are small and hidden, and it lacks pectoral fins entirely. Like many anguilliform clariids, its jaw muscles are hypertrophic, a modification that has been linked to increased bite force.

The eel catfish hunts both in and out of the water, having a different method for each. In water, C. apus sucks water and food into its mouth. To catch food on land, the eel catfish lifts the front of its body up, and bends its mouth down on the prey. Its specially adapted spine allows it to do so without weight-bearing pectoral fins.

History of Augusta Independent Schools
The first school located in Augusta Kentucky was a private school built in 1795 built by Robert Schoolfield. It was a log cabin located at 211 Riverside Drive. Later on, leaders in the community established The Bracken Academy in 1798. To grow the school, they were awarded a charter and a grant of land from the state in 1799. To accommodate the growing need for education, they constructed several classroom buildings, including one classroom on the southeast corner of Elizabeth and Third Streets. In 1822 Bracken Academy combined with Augusta College. In 1825 it was fully operational and became the first established Methodist college in Kentucky (and the third in the nation at that time).
