Braggadocio, Missouri

Braggadocio is an unincorporated community in Pemiscot County, Missouri, United States.   It is located  west of Caruthersville on Missouri Route J and  north of Steele on Route Z.

History
Braggadocio was founded circa 1847. A post office called Braggadocio has been in operation since 1881. Possibly the community was named because a large share of the early settlers were braggarts, or after the knight and horse thief Sir Braggadoccio, in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene. Braggadocio has been noted for its unusual place name.

In 1927, an African-American man named Will Sherod was lynched in Braggadocio.

On April 2, 2006, an F3 tornado hit the town, causing two deaths, and on December 10, 2021, an EF4 tornado struck the town, causing one death.

Skarvan and Roltdalen National Park

Skarvan and Roltdalen National Park () is a national park in Trøndelag county, Norway.  The park is located in the municipalities of Selbu, Tydal, Meråker, and Stjørdal, not too far from the border with Sweden to the east.

The  park was opened in 2004 and it borders the Stråsjøen-Prestøyan nature reserve.  The park includes a large spruce forested area (the Roltdalen valley is the largest roadless mountain valley in southern Trøndelag county) as well as the Skarvan mountainous region which is typical of the Trøndelag region, both in cultural and natural history. 

The Skarvan mountains, which stretch from Ruten to Fongen is the most notable mountainous area in the region. Trondhjems Turistforening maintains a network of touring trails connecting Roltdalen to the trail network of the Nord-Trøndelag Tourist Association and trails in the Sylan area.

Names
The name of the park is a combination of two names. Skarvan is the finite plural of skarv which means "mountain without vegetation".  The first element in the name Roltdalen (for Rotldalen, see metathesis) comes from the river name Rotla and the last element is the finite form of dal which means "dale" and "valley". The meaning of the river name is unknown.

Chailey Common

Chailey Common is a 169 hectare (417.4 acre) biological site of Special Scientific Interest in the East Sussex. It is close to the village of North Chailey to the west of Newick. The site was notified in 1985 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is also a Local Nature Reserve.

The site consists of five enclosures: Romany Ridge Common, Red House Common, Pound Common, Memorial Common and Land End Common. The areas are maintained for species diversity through careful grazing and management. Lane End Common, () was separated from the bulk of the Chailey Common enclosures in the nineteenth century. Its heathy and bosky spaces are now fenced and grazed by mild park cattle.

The Common supports various heath communities, including ling, cross-leaved heath and bell heather and other rare botanical species. Fifty years ago Garth Christian saved the marsh gentian from going extinct from the area and its trumpets full of tiny stars can still be seen there today. Meadow thistle, sundew and round-leaved sundew are still present in the area thanks to careful nursing and it is one of the few sites left in the Sussex Weald with bog asphodel.

The botanical richness in turn supports important and rare invertebrate including bloody-nosed beetles, minotaur beetles, purse web spiders and black headed velvet ants. Up the food chain, the area can also support rare bird species, including woodcock and nightjar. The habitat also supports various butterflies which are rare in the county. Chailey Common was one of the last sites in the Sussex Weald that you could find Silver Studded Blue butterflies, but they seem to be gone from the area now.

Hieronim Morsztyn

Hieronim Morsztyn (1581–1623) was a Polish poet. He is known as one of the earliest poets of the Polish baroque and sarmatism. His most popular poem is Światowa Rozkosz (Worldly Pleasure).

Little is known about his life. Born in an Arian family to Florian Morsztyn and Zuzanna Łaska he was orphaned early and brought up by his uncle Samuel Łaski, the royal secretary. He attended  a Jesuit college in Braniewo. During his later life he became associated with the magnates' courts in Lublin and Vilna.

Morsztyn's major works are Światowa Rozkosz (Worldly Pleasure or Worldly Bliss, from 1606), Antypasty małżeńskie (Matrimonial Appetisers from 1650), and Summariusz wierszów (Compendium of poems), a collection of over three hundred poems, written between 1606 and 1613, but never published. Few of his original manuscripts have survived, and most of his works that we know comes from later reprints. Some of the works considered his are attributed to him based on style analysis, as they were reprinted as anonymous. In many of his trifles and songs, Morsztyn praised the beauty of the world, contrasting it with the burden of sin and with eternal bliss, but occasionally he wrote about other issues, including politics - like in his Konfederacji 1614 nagrobek (Tombstone for the 1614 confederation).

Birkenhead Monks Ferry railway station

Birkenhead Monks Ferry railway station was a railway station in Birkenhead, Wirral, England. It was situated very close to the River Mersey named after the monks at Birkenhead Priory.
For most of its life, the station was part of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, a joint railway.

The station was originally opened without authority in April 1838. However, due to the objections and legal proceedings of the operators of the Woodside Ferry the station closed until it was purchased and reopened on 23 October 1844 via an extension of the line from Birkenhead Grange Lane.  Subsequently, Grange Lane closed and Monks Ferry remained the main Birkenhead rail terminus for both passenger and goods traffic until the opening of Birkenhead Woodside on 1 April 1878. After this date, all passenger services were transferred to Woodside and Monks Ferry concentrated on goods and coal supply.

Provision was made at Monks Ferry for a connection to the internal rail system of shipbuilders Cammell Laird, which lay to the south of the station.  This was via a set of sidings, with the connecting track at a right angle to station approaches.

Birkenhead Monks Ferry railway station closed for freight traffic in 1961, although the station and tracks survived until 1967.

The site has since been cleared, with little evidence left of its former use. A residential development now occupies the area.

Iain Sproat

Iain MacDonald Sproat (8 November 1938 – 29 September 2011) was a British Conservative Member of Parliament (MP). He was educated at Winchester College and Magdalen College, Oxford. He worked as a publisher and journalist.

Parliamentary career
Sproat first contested Rutherglen in a by-election in May 1964, and again in the general election later that year, but was unsuccessful in both campaigns.

At the 1970 general election, he stood in the marginal Scottish constituency of Aberdeen South, and ousted the sitting Labour MP, Donald Dewar. He was re-elected there at three further elections, until the 1983 general election when he moved to contest Roxburgh and Berwickshire believing that this was a 'safer' seat. However, Aberdeen South was held by the Conservatives, while Roxburgh and Berwickshire fell to the Liberal candidate Archy Kirkwood.

Sproat returned to Parliament nine years later, moving to England and succeeding Sir Julian Ridsdale as MP for Harwich in the 1992 general election. He served as Minister for Sport in John Major's government from 1993 to 1997, but at the 1997 general election he was defeated by the Labour candidate Ivan Henderson. Sproat stood again in Harwich at the 2001 election, but Henderson was returned with an increased majority. Sproat did not contest the 2005 general election; instead Douglas Carswell regained the seat for the Conservatives.

Outside Parliament
In 1979 he married Judith Mary Kernot, who survived him.

A lifelong cricket fan, in 1980 he was founder publisher of the Cricketers' Who's Who (Green Umbrella) which celebrated its 43rd anniversary in 2022.

A tireless campaigner to clear the name of his literary hero, P.G. Wodehouse, he secured Wodehouse's knighthood in 1975 and later wrote 'Wodehouse at War' (pub Milner & Co. Ltd. 1981) claiming the author's innocence regarding charges that he acted as a propagandist for Nazi Germany during World War II.

Flatey, Breiðafjörður

Flatey () is an island of the western islands, a cluster of about forty large and small islands and islets located in Breiðafjörður on the northwestern part of Iceland. Flatey and its surrounding islands are, as a creation, believed to have forged from under the weight of a great glacier during the previous Ice age. In terms of size, Flatey is some two kilometers long and about one kilometer wide, of which most is flat land (hence its name, meaning "flat island" in Icelandic), with scarcely any hills to be found.

The island has a seasonal habitation; most houses there are occupied only during summer. In winter, the island's total population is five people. In spite of this, Flatey used to be one of the main cultural centres of Iceland, with its no-longer existing monastery (founded in 1172) standing on the highest point of the island as its beacon of knowledge. In the middle of the 19th century, Flatey was still a cultural and artistic centre but doubled as a hub of commerce for the northwest, having received its town charter from the Danish crown in 1777.

From 1777 and on until around the latter part of the last century, Flatey enjoyed a healthy growth of its population and was for a long time, relative to size, massively populated. 
Due to social change and changes of production and ensuing change of values and demands in the work place, its steady population has dwindled down to the minimum needed to support the community on a regular basis, a community which, during summer and holidays, multiplies in size due to a massive influx of second home owners, regular domestic visitors and foreign tourists.

The island has only a single road, which leads from the ferry dock to the so-called "old village", which consists of some restored and traditionally-painted old houses of the island's original inhabitants. There is, of course, also the old harbour, from where besides visitors and inhabitants travelling to and fro, the island's sheep are taken over to the mainland for slaughter. Besides sheep, most of Flatey's natural life consists of various kinds of mostly migratory birds, especially the puffin.

Flatey also has a church, built in 1926. The church's interior is painted with scenes of the island life, made by a Spanish painter, , in the 1960s in return for free accommodation when he was visiting the island. The island also inhabits the oldest and smallest library in Iceland, established in 1864. This library was once home to the Flatey Book, the largest of medieval Icelandic manuscripts.

Air ball

In basketball, an air ball is an unblocked shot that misses the basket, rim and backboard entirely.

Origin
The Oxford English Dictionary cites earliest printed use of "air ball" in a 29 January 1967 article from the (Hayward, Calif.) Daily Review, which reads: "Cal State, four times lofting air balls at an orange basket that may as well have been painted invisible."

Crowd behavior and consequences 
In collegiate basketball, home crowds were found to initially chant when the air ball shot was made from a distance and when it resulted in a lost possession. Home crowds were also more persistent in their chants when the shot was made farther from the basket. An archival exploration showed that away players who shot an air ball had a lower success rate in the shot immediately after, as compared to home players launching the same shot; however, this difference was unrelated to the chant.

Silver subfluoride

Silver subfluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula Ag2F. This is an unusual example of a compound where the oxidation state of silver is fractional. The compound is produced by the reaction of silver and silver(I) fluoride:

Ag  +  AgF   →   Ag2F

It forms small crystals with a bronze reflex and is a good conductor of electricity. On contact with water almost instant hydrolysis occurs with the precipitation of silver (Ag) powder.

Crystal structure 
Ag2F adopts the anti-CdI2 crystal structure, i.e. the same structure as cadmium iodide, CdI2, but with "Ag½+ " centres in the I− positions and F− in the Cd2+ positions. The shortest distance between silver atoms is 299.6 pm  (compared to  289 pm in the  metal).

ABC Codes

ABC Codes are five-digit alpha codes (e.g., AAAAA) used by licensed and non-licensed healthcare practitioners to supplement medical codes (e.g. CPT and HCPCS II) on standard electronic (e.g. American National Standards Institute, Accredited Standards Committee X12 N 837P healthcare claims and on standard paper claims (e.g., CMS 1500 Form) to describe services, remedies and/or supply items provided and/or used during patient visits. ABC codes contain both a short description (e.g. 80 characters or less) and an expanded definition of the service, remedy and/or supply item. ABC codes were created and designed by ABC Coding Solutions .

ABC codes fill gaps in healthcare administrative coding that conventional medical code sets do not cover and support preferred provider contracting, claims, payments and comparative outcome studies.  Additionally, ABC codes are tied to state legislative references regarding scope of practice and training requirements on a code, state and practitioner-specific basis.

Aprilia RS125

The Aprilia RS125 is a GP derived replica sport production motorcycle.  It is powered by a Rotax single cylinder 124.8 cc two-stroke engine with Nikasil coated aluminium cylinder block, and liquid cooling.

Generations

RS125 Extrema/Replica 1992 to 1995 

Aprilia introduced the first RS125 in 1992. It has an angular tail section and swept front fairing, square cut headlight unit, three spoke rims, air scoops on the upper front middle fairing, Electric starter or kick start on the left hand side and analogue gauges. There was only one model variant in this year range which denoted RS 125 R on the tank and was red and black in colour. Production was late 1993/94

RS125 1996 to 1998

The RS125 is revised and the Extrema wording is dropped.  The RS retains a lot of the appearances of the previous RS but there are some notable differences.  The first one is a new engine, the Rotax 122, a new improved version to the previous one. The front air intakes are integrated into the front upper portion of the middle fairing.  The headlight unit is rounded and the lip is introduced to the top centre.  A digital gauge is added in place of the temperature gauge.

RS125 1999 to 2005

The RS125 was revised again in 1999 with more rounded and bulbous fairings, five spoke rims and a single air duct on the driver's right hand side. The lip on the headlight unit is increased in size.

RS125 2006 to 2012

The RS125 was given completely new fairing styling similar to the RSV 1000R. It has angular fairings, two headlight bulbs, a digital gauge, and multispoke Marchesini-styled rims.

Aprilia changed to radial four-piston brake calipers and added braided brake lines.

In 2008, Aprilia changed the electronics from Nippon-Denso to Piaggio/EFI Technolog electronics, and changed to a new ECU to meet the more stringent EURO3 emissions standards.

The bike also has a vacuum fuel tap on the tank and a new Dell'orto 28 mm VHST carburetor that has the vacuum pipe extension.

The line was dropped in 2012 to make way for the new RS4 125, going from a two-stroke to a single-cylinder four-stroke fuel injected system.

Tuono 2003 to 2005

The RS125 Tuono was introduced in 2003 as a semi naked version of the RS125. Production ran until 2005 and was subsequently dropped from the line-up.

The Tuono was essentially an RS125 with the middle and lower portions of the fairings absent and a handlebar fitted on the top yoke.

Habib Bank Plaza

Habib Bank Plaza (), also known as HBL Plaza, located on I. I. Chundrigar Road in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, is the head office of Habib Bank Limited. It was once the tallest building in Asia, a title that hasn't been held by any other building in South Asia, and was one of only three to hold the title outside of East and Southeast Asia, while still under construction between 1963 and 1968. It was also the tallest building in South Asia until 1972, being surpassed by the Express Towers. It remained the tallest building in Pakistan for four decades until the 29-floor and 116m tall MCB Tower was built.

HBL Plaza was inaugurated to mark the 25th anniversary of the bank, and started its operations on 4 September 1971. The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has regularly used the building over the years to call the meeting for moon sighting. As of 2021, it housed more than 1,770 employees.

Sebastian de Grazia

Sebastian de Grazia (August 11, 1917 – December 31, 2000) was an American philosopher who was Professor of Political Philosophy at Rutgers University. He received the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography for his 1989 book Machiavelli in Hell.

Biography 
Born in Chicago, he received his bachelor's degree and a doctorate in political science from the University of Chicago. During World War II he served in the Office of Strategic Services, predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency, as an analyst. From 1962 to 1988 he taught political philosophy at Rutgers University. He is also the author of The Political Community (1948), Errors of Psychotherapy (1952), Of Time, Work, and Leisure (1962), and A Country with No Name (1997).

Leisure
De Grazia has been described as the "father of leisure". His book Of Time, Work, and Leisure (1962) puts forward the idea that traditionally leisure was not a matter of recreation as much as of contemplation, of expanding one's awareness and understanding of the world, and that the social context of this understanding of leisure has to a large extent been lost, and with it the notion of leisure being the pursuit of philosophy.

WVUA-FM

WVUA-FM (90.7 FM, "The Capstone") is the student-run, low-power college radio station at the University of Alabama. The station was established for the purpose of giving students an environment in which they could learn to be radio broadcasters.

History
WVUA was chartered in 1981, although student-run stations existed at UA since 1941. WVUA has changed its name and call letters a few times. It has been referred to as "V-91", "Rock of The South", and "New Rock 90.7" but it currently operates under the branding, "90.7 The Capstone". (The Capstone is a nickname for the University of Alabama.) Student-run UA radio stations have used the call letters BRN (Bama Radio Network), WABP, and WUAL (now part of Alabama Public Radio). Originally, the "VUA" in the station's call letters was used to suggest the "Voice of the University of Alabama", which is a tagline the station often uses.

Starting in May 2007, the station began a revitalization project to make it "an agent for a collaborative community".  This effort included collaborations with the Student Government Association, The Crimson White, the College of Nursing, Stillman College, University Programs, and more.

WVUA emphasizes local music that derives directly from the Tuscaloosa community. It airs local music and hosts benefit concerts that feature local bands.

About two-thirds of WVUA’s operating budget is raised through sponsorships, benefits and other student-led fundraising efforts.

WVUA also uses the tagline "The Capstone Sports Authority". It is the radio home for Crimson Tide gymnastics, soccer, and volleyball. Live coverage of UA football, men's basketball, baseball, and softball, among others, is licensed to commercial broadcasting entities. Due to conflicting schedules, only home matches for soccer and volleyball are broadcast on the station, while both home and away events are broadcast for gymnastics. Before each football home game, the station airs "Crimson Tide GameDay". The station features sports in "The Student Section."

Programming
Programming on the station features many specialty shows that air weekly. When a specialty show is not airing on the station, WVUA runs an alternative-rock format, hosted by several regular or "playlist" DJs.

The specialty shows on the station include a wide variety of genres, including electronic, indie, soul, R&B, industrial rock, folk, hip-hop, variety, metal, and jam.

The station streams all of its content, including its sports and music, from its Website: wvuafm.ua.edu.

WVUA is maintained by the UA Office of Student Media, which is also the parent organization of UA's campus newspaper, The Crimson White.

WVUA is located in the Student Media Building at 414 Campus Drive East, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487. The building also houses The Crimson White, Marr's Field Journal and Student Media administrators.
