Lorentz Medal

Lorentz Medal is a distinction awarded every four years by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.  It was established in 1925 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the doctorate of Hendrik Lorentz. The medal is given for important contributions to theoretical physics, though in the past there have been some experimentalists among its recipients.

The first winner, Max Planck, was personally selected by Lorentz. Eleven of the 23 award winners later received a Nobel Prize. The Lorentz medal is ranked fifth in a list of most prestigious international academic awards in physics.

Pandulf II of Salerno

Pandulf II (died 13 July 982) was the prince of Salerno (981), the second of such princes of the family of the princes of Capua. He was originally appointed heir to the childless Gisulf I of Salerno, who had been reinstated on his throne by Pandulf's father, Pandulf Ironhead. On the former's death in 977, he succeeded him as co-prince of Salerno with his father. On the latter's death in March 981, the Ironhead's great principality was divided such that he inherited only Salerno, while Capua-Benevento went to his elder brother Landulf IV.

He was young and was immediately opposed by Manso, Duke of Amalfi, who succeeded in removing him from office and attaining imperial recognition.  Pandulf never regained his principality. He joined his brother, whom a revolt had relegated to Capua alone, and they joined the army of Emperor Otto II in Calabria, where both died in the Battle of Stilo against the Saracens on 13 July 982.

Havana Pitbulls

The Havana Pitbulls was a professional wrestling tag team, consisting of Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes, who worked for Ring of Honor as a member of The Rottweilers. They also worked for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Empire Wrestling Federation, Ultimate Pro Wrestling, and Liberty States Wrestling.

History

Independent circuit
In September 1999, Romero and Reyes—using the tag team name Los Cubanitos—were awarded Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF)'s Tag Team Championship. They were later stripped of the title on December 4, 1999.

Meanwhile, in the Ultimate Pro Wrestling promotion in April 2000, Los Cubanitos won the Tag Team title from Jobbers-R-Us, holding it for approximately one month before losing it to The Ballard Brothers.

On April 29, 2001, they won the EWF Tag Team Championship from Aggravated Assault, whom they traded the title with once between April 2001 and February 2002. Los Cubanitos, however, were stripped of the title on July 1, 2002 for injuring their opponents. In September 2003, they won the title (under their new name The Havana Pitbulls) for a fourth time by defeating Los Chivos. They held the title until January 2004, when they were defeated by The West Coast Ryders. They won the title for the fifth and final time in April 2005, once again defeating Los Chivos. They, however, were stripped of the title on May 25.

Ring of Honor
After several unsuccessful attempts at winning the Ring of Honor (ROH)'s World Tag Team Championship, on August 7, 2004, at ROH Testing the Limits, the Havana Pitbulls (with Julius Smokes) defeated Colt Cabana and CM Punk for the title.

After several successful defenses, the Havana Pitbulls lost the ROH World Tag Team Championship to Dan Maff and B. J. Whitmer on February 19, 2005, at ROH 3rd Anniversary Part One. Also that year, they won the 2005 Trios Tournament with Homicide.

In 2007 the Havana Pitbulls had a brief reunion, ending on January 27, 2007 when Romero walked out on Reyes during a match against The Briscoe Brothers at ROH Battle of the Icons.

Monteu da Po

Monteu da Po is a small comune in the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont, Italy, 32 km north-east of Turin.

History
Monteu da Po  was an ancient settlement of the Ligures. Its pre-Roman name, which appears on 
inscriptions of the early imperial period, was Bodincomagus from the Ligurian name of the Po, Bodincus, which meant "bottomless". It stood on the right bank of the river, which has since changed its course and runs now a kilometre to the north of the town.

In Roman times this became the flourishing colonia Industria  of the Augustan Regio IX, enrolled in the tribus Pollia. Its importance derived from its location on the road which followed the Po from Augusta Taurinorum to Vardagate.

Excavations have brought to light a tower, a cult building (previously identified as a theatre), a sanctuary of Isis, valuable bronze figures (some of them made locally) and numerous inscriptions.

Industria appears to have been deserted in the fourth century CE.

The name "Monteu" came from Latin mons acutus, meaning "sharp mountain".

State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Russian Federation

The State Academic Symphony Orchestra "Evgeny Svetlanov" (Государственный академический симфонический оркестр России имени Е. Ф. Светланова) is a major Russian orchestra based in Moscow.  Sometimes known in English as the Russian State Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra gives concerts in Moscow at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall.

History
The orchestra was founded in 1936 as the USSR State Symphony Orchestra, with Alexander Gauk as its first music director.  The orchestra changed its name after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.  The orchestra's longest serving music director was Evgeny Svetlanov, from 1965 to 2000.  Svetlanov's tenure ended with his controversial dismissal by Russia's minister of culture, Mikhail Shvydkoi, who had accused Svetlanov of spending excessive time conducting outside of Russia.  In 2005, the orchestra officially acquired the additional name of Svetlanov Symphony Orchestra.  The orchestra now has the formal name, in English, of the 'State Academic Symphony Orchestra "Evgeny Svetlanov"'.

Mark Gorenstein succeeded Svetlanov as music director from 2002 to 2011.  In 2011, Gorenstein caused controversy with his remarks about Armenian cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan during the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition, which led to his removal as conductor for the competition.  The orchestra then demanded Gorenstein's dismissal from the orchestra, with accusations of abusive behaviour.  Gorenstein was subsequently dismissed from the orchestra in September 2011.

In October 2011, the orchestra announced the appointment of Vladimir Jurowski as its principal conductor, with immediate effect, for an initial contract of 3 years.  Jurowski concluded his principal conductorship of the orchestra in 2021.

Vasily Petrenko became principal guest conductor of the orchestra in 2016.  In January 2021, the orchestra announced the appointment of Petrenko as its next principal conductor, effective 1 September 2021.

Girl Scouts of Japan

The  is the girls-only Scouting organization serving Japan, founded in 1919. It became a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 1952 and had 33,593 members .

History
Girl Guiding was first introduced in Japan in 1919 by Miss Muriel Greenstreet, a British missionary teacher. The movement gradually spread, and in 1920 took the name Joshi-Hodo-dan (Girl Guides of Japan). In 1928, Japan became a founder member of WAGGGS. Girl Guiding was banned by the government during World War II, restarted as Girl Scouting in 1947, and was officially recognized as Girl Scouts of Japan (Gārusukauto Nippon Renmei) in 1949.

In 2000, Her Highness Princess Sayako attended a variety of events in the Tokyo metropolitan area and in regional Japan, including the ceremony for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Girl Scouts of Tokyo, and the opening ceremony for the Togakushi Girl Scouts Center to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Girl Scouting movement in Japan.

The Girl Scout program in Japan focuses on three major points: self-development, human relations, and nature. Some of the Girl Scout activities include working with the disabled, planting trees, and protecting the environment from floods and air pollution.

Program and ideals

The Girl Scouts are divided into 6 groups/ranks. Troops (団) tend to have multiple levels in one group that are further broken down into smaller units consisting of the same rank. Each group focuses on something new.

Tenderfoot (from 1 year before 1st grade), around 5 years old; a creme yellow neckerchief.
Brownie (grades 1 through 3), around 6 to 8 years; red neckerchief.

Brownies focus on learning more about themselves, their capabilities, and how much they matter. When a girl becomes a Brownie Scout, Leaders read the "Brownie Book" to the girls, sometimes even performing the story. It tells of two children who hear about magical creatures (Brownies) that help keep the house nice and clean. In order to help their parents the two children venture into the forest at night in search of the Brownies, only to discover at the end that they are Brownies and they can help their parents.

Junior (grades 4 through 6), around 9 to 11 years; brown neckerchief

Juniors begin to focus on their friend group and other scouts. The idea is to encourage girls to not think just about themselves, but of what they can do for and with their friends.

Senior (grades 7 through 9), around 12 to 14 years; green neckerchief
Rangers (grades 10 through 12), around 15 to 17 years; navy neckerchief
Adult Leaders (age 18 and over); light blue neckerchief

The Girl Scout emblem incorporates a sakura, a cherry blossom. May 22 is Girl Scout Day.

European Champions Cup (baseball)

The Champions Cup, formerly called European Cup, is an annual baseball tournament, sanctioned and created by the Confederation of European Baseball (CEB). The tournament features the top teams of the professional baseball leagues in Europe, and is the first tier of the four competitions organized by WBSC Europe, alongside the second-tier Confederation Cup, third-tier Federation Cup, and fourth-tier Federation Cup Qualifiers, all of which operate with a promotion and relegation system for its federations. 

Starting in 2008, the tournament is now held in two locations. The best two teams from each tournament then compete in the European Champion Cup "Final Four", with the winner receiving the European Champion Cup.

Between 2013 and 2015, the "Final Four" format was replaced with a best-of-three series between the winners of each tournament. In the 2015 tournament, six teams competed in the Paris group, while six other teams competed in Rotterdam. The best two teams then competed in the "Final Four" in Italy, in a best-of-three series, for the championship.

The first season of the tournament was held in  and was won by the Picadero Jockey Club Barcelona.

Mosbach Abbey

Mosbach Abbey (Kloster Mosbach) was a Benedictine monastery, later a monastery of Augustinian Canons, in the town of Mosbach in the Odenwald, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History
As part of the systematic Carolingian Christianisation of this part of Germany, a number of monasteries were set up, covering between them the whole region of the Odenwald: Amorbach, Lorsch and Fulda, all founded in the 8th century, and Mosbach, the southernmost and least documented. It is first mentioned in a reference in the records of Reichenau Abbey in 825, but in the context of the other monastic foundations in the Odenwald, it seems likely that it was also founded in the previous century. The next record of it is in 976, when Emperor Otto II granted it to Worms Cathedral chapter as a private episcopal monastery. In about 1000, it was changed from a Benedictine house to one of canons regular. In 1268 however the abbey regained its independence with the re-grant of the right to elect its own abbots.

In 1308 the present Saint Juliana's church was built to replace the earlier abbey church. In 1556 in the course of the Reformation the Elector Palatine Otto-Heinrich abolished Roman Catholic services and made the abbey church the town's Protestant parish church. The former Catholic parish church of Saint Cecilia's was thus rendered superfluous and was demolished. Otto-Heinrich dissolved the abbey itself in 1564, of which virtually nothing remains except the church.

During the course of the 17th century the need for a Catholic church re-emerged, however, and in 1707 Saint Juliana's was partitioned to allow both Protestants and Catholics to use the same building for worship as a simultaneum: the Protestants have the former nave and the Catholics the former chancel. Their congregations form part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Freiburg and the United Protestant Church in Baden, respectively. In 2007, on the 300th anniversary of the separation, Protestant and Catholic parishes agreed to open the separation wall. The wall was pierced and gates and a few steps were built, which now connect the Protestant and Catholic sides.

Mosbach Friary
In 1688 a community of Franciscans settled here and established a friary on a new site further out of the town centre. The friary was dissolved in 1808 during the secularisation in Baden, and the buildings were reused for administrative and local government purposes. The friary garden however has recently been re-developed as a herb garden, in connection with the local Herb Market.

Pacific Hills Christian School

The Pacific Hills Christian School is an independent, non-denominational Christian, co-educational, early learning, primary, and secondary day school, located in the suburb of Dural, in the Hills District of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The school caters for approximately 1,400 students from early learning to Year 12 and is divided into three sections: Junior School, Middle School, and Senior School.

The principal of the Pacific Hills Christian School is Edwin J. Boyce OAM, who has led the school since 1985.

History
Pacific Hills Christian School can trace its origins back to the early 1970s, when it was first established as the Pennant Hills Christian School, with just eight students and one teacher, Lynn McCrindle. At this time the school was located in two rooms of Lutanda Children's Home, an orphanage at Pennant Hills.

By 1980, enrolments had grown to 41 students with just two staff members. The following year saw the introduction of secondary education, and the first students with disabilities integrated into mainstream education. 1983 saw the appointment of the school's first principal, Ken Oliver. Boyce was appointed as principal in 1985.

In 1986, the school moved to its current location at Dural and subsequently changed its name to Pacific Hills Christian School. That year also saw the first year 12 class sit for the NSW Higher School Certificate.

Since its relocation, the school has purchased further land and constructed additional buildings and sporting facilities. Today the school is located on a  campus.

School houses
As with most Australian schools, the Pacific Hills Christian School utilises a house system. There are four houses which take the names of famous missionaries:
 Jim Elliot (Blue)
 Mary Slessor (Green)
 George Müller (Red)
 Amy Carmichael (Yellow)
