The glass industry played a big part in the development and growth of the village. Most of the skilled labourers were brought in from Germany. In 1936 and 1938 takeovers took place and both factories became part of the Vereenigde Glasfabrieken (United Glassworks), leading to the closure of one of the factories in 1938. In 1967 the second factory closed as a result of dwindling sales, with glass packaging being replaced by cardboard and plastics. In remembrance to the role the glassworks played, a statue, "de Glasblazer" ("the Glassblower"), was unveiled and placed on the Noorderdiep in 1974.

Directeur sportif

A directeur sportif (French for sporting director, although the original French term is often used in English-language media; plural directeurs sportifs) is a person directing a cycling team during a road bicycle racing event.  It is seen as the equivalent to a field manager in baseball, or a head coach in football. At professional level, a directeur sportif follows the team in a car and communicates with riders, personnel and race officials by radio.

The directeur sportif warns of obstacles or challenging terrain, updates the team on the situation in the race, and provides mechanical help.  The car carrying the directeur sportif also usually carries a bicycle mechanic with spare bikes, wheels and parts.  It also carries spare water bottles, food and medical equipment.

Since the late 1990s, the role has increased, in keeping with better team cohesion, tactics and communication and telemetry equipment.  The directeur sportif can have split times, find where riders from other teams are in the race, and dictate orders to riders.  This has made teamwork and tactics more important.

A directeur sportif can also be involved in the riders' training and racing programme. Many are former professionals, such as Johan Bruyneel and Sean Yates.

Gord Fraser described his role as directeur sportif as follows:

Several directeurs sportifs are also associated with famous riders whom they have nurtured. Patrick Lefevere with Johan Museeuw and Tom Boonen, Cyrille Guimard's relationship with Lucien Van Impe, Bernard Hinault, and later Laurent Fignon as well as a young Greg LeMond prior to his Tour victories; Jean de Gribaldy with Sean Kelly and Joaquim Agostinho; and Bruyneel with Lance Armstrong are examples. Others include Guillaume “Lomme” Driessens who was a Directeur for Eddy Merckx and Roger Legeay who directed LeMond during his win in the 1990 Tour de France.

The Dutch Reformed church was built around 1200 and is built using many large stones. Some of the stones have probably been taken from nearby hunebedden (dolmen). The church suffered a collapse in 1634. It was extensively modified between 1856 and 1857. In 1897, it was restored after a fire.

The hunebed (dolmen)  is located near Odoorn. It is still half buried in the ground. It used to have five capstones, however one has gone missing.

Odoorn was home to 348 people in 1840. On 22 July 1945, three children were playing with left-over German ammunition, and they were killed when the ammunition exploded. In 1997, a memorial was placed at the site. Odoorn was a separate municipality until 1998, when it merged with Borger.

Ballo

The ballo was an Italian dance form during the fifteenth century, most noted for its frequent changes of tempo and meter. The name ballo has its origin in Latin ballō, ballāre, meaning "to dance", which in turn comes from the Greek "βαλλίζω" (ballizō), "to dance, to jump about". In Greece there is the Greek dance named Ballos.

Renaissance
During the Quattrocento balli were written by various composers, primarily the dance masters Domenico da Piacenza and Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro, who also wrote treatises including choreographies to their works.

Domenico wrote of the balli as dealing with four misure:
 The bassadanza, from the basse danse, consisting of what would now be labeled as a slow  or 
 The quadernaria, one-sixth faster than the Bassadanza
 The saltarello, two-sixths faster than the Bassadanza
 The piva, twice as fast as the Bassadanza

Baroque
The Renaissance dance should be distinguished from the early Baroque ballo, which was enlarged to include vocal numbers by such composers as Monteverdi (Il ballo delle ingrate), and Francesco Lambardi (Una festa a ballo).

World at Your Feet

"World at Your Feet" is a song by English rock band Embrace from the re-released version of their fifth studio album, This New Day (2006). It was the official song of the England World Cup squad in the 2006 FIFA World Cup campaign, and was released on 5 June 2006. Singer Danny McNamara told the NME: "We didn't apply to do this. They just asked us. Our manager said, 'Do you want to do the World Cup song? The FA want to know.' I asked my dad and he said, 'if you think you're up to it-do it!' I was just trying to cover all the bases."

It was broadcast on Radio 1 on 21 April by Chris Moyles. A news reporter on BBC One was in a Bristol pub at the time and had several people listen and review the song. The first impressions were that the song is "too slow". This caused Moyles and a good friend of members of the band to shout out on the radio, live, "It's not too slow, it's perfect. Shut up and enjoy it."

1e Exloërmond

1e Exloërmond (; before 2009: Eerste Exloërmond) is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 18 km north of Emmen.

The village was first mentioned between 1851 and 1855 as "Noorder Hoofddiep of Exlooder Mond", and means "first (canal) that has his mouth (at the main canal) belonging to Exloo". It refers to a peat colony which is located at the eponymous canal which was dug in 1829. 1e (first) has been added to distinguish between 2e Exloërmond. It was settled from Musselkanaal. In 2009, the village was officially renamed 1e Exloërmond.

In 1817, permission was given by Groningen to transport the peat of Drenthe to the "mouth" at Stadskanaal. The village temporarily grew, and was home to 636 people in 1916, however the growth started to stagnate and it turned into an agricultural community. 

In 1918, a little wooden church was built. It was replaced by a stone building in 1951. It was decommissioned in 1998, and has become a residential home. Between 1924 and 1935, there was a railway station on the Stadskanaal to Ter Apel Border railway line. The building was demolished in 1965.

Valthermond

Valthermond is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 18 km north of Emmen.

History 
The village was first mentioned between 1851 and 1855 as Valther Mond, and means "(canal) which has its mouth (in a main canal) belonging to Valthe". It is named after the eponymous canal which was dug in 1833 to excavate the peat in the area. A second canal was later dug, and that village and canal were named 2e Valthermond. The village was founded in 1853, and is one of the longest excavation settlements of the Netherlands.

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1883, and a tower was added in 1925. A Baptist church was built in 1914, and is one of the few Baptist churches in the Netherlands other than the Mennonite churches. Valthermond used to have a railway station on the Stadskanaal to Ter Apel border railway line between 1924 and 1935. It is in use by a museum railway line. The former steam forge dates from the 1920s and used to make railway carriage and bridge parts for the peat excavation. It became a provincial monument in 2015.

Naked Ape (band)

Naked Ape is a Swedish indie/electronica band from Stockholm, formed in 2000.

Starting out as a duo (Jonas Mathiasson/Albion Venables), they gained notoriety after opening for one of the biggest Swedish indie bands at the time, Bob Hund. Their first release, entitled Television, received positive reviews from Swedish press, around the time that third member Olof Bendt joined the band. Their first album was "Anropa apornA". Their second full album, "For the Sake of the Naked Ape", secured international recognition, propelled by the popularity of their unconventional music videos for songs "Fashion Freak" and "Undo Redo" - which feature undead females entertaining the living.

Rhinanthus

Rhinanthus is a genus of annual hemiparasitic herbaceous plants in the family Orobanchaceae, formerly classified in the family Scrophulariaceae. Its species are commonly known as rattles. The genus consists of about 30 to 40 species found in Europe, northern Asia, and North America, with the greatest species diversity (28 species) in Europe.

Phylogeny 
The phylogeny of the genera of Rhinantheae has been explored using molecular characters. Rhinanthus is the sister genus to Lathraea, and then to Rhynchocorys. These three genera share phylogenetic affinities with members of the core Rhinantheae: Bartsia, Euphrasia, Tozzia, Hedbergia, Bellardia, and Odontites. Melampyrum appears as a more distant relative.

Basis risk

Basis risk in finance is the risk associated with imperfect hedging due to the variables or characteristics that affect the difference between the futures contract and the underlying "cash" position. It arises because of the difference between the price of the asset to be hedged and the price of the asset serving as the hedge before expiration, namely b = S - F. Barring idiosyncratic influence by the other aspects to be enumerated just below, by the time of expiration this simple difference will be eliminated by arbitrage. The other aspects that give rise to basis risk include

(a) Quality (grade) arising when the hedge in place has a different grade which is not perfectly correlated with the basis;

(b) Timing arising due to mismatch between the expiration date of the hedge asset and the actual selling date of the underlying asset;

(c) Location (leading to Transportation Costs) arising due to the difference in the location of the asset being hedged and the asset serving as the hedge, and which typically includes a premium to cover the risk these transportation costs may rise, causing a negative impact on the hedger.

Definition 

Under these conditions, the spot price of the asset and the futures price do not converge on the expiration date of the future. The amount by which the two quantities differ measures the value of the basis risk. That is,

Basis = Futures price of contract − Spot price of hedged asset.

Basis risk is not to be confused with another type of risk known as price risk.

Examples 
Some examples of basis risks are: 
 Treasury bill future being hedged by two year Bond, there lies the risk of not fluctuating as desired.
 Foreign currency exchange rate (FX) hedge using a non-deliverable forward contract (NDF): the NDF fixing might vary substantially from the actual available spot rate on the market on fixing date.
 Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives can help minimize basis risk by creating a perfect hedge. This is because OTC derivatives can be tailored to fit the exact risk needs of a hedger.

Yechiel of Paris

Yechiel ben Joseph of Paris or Jehiel of Paris, called Sire Vives in French (Judeo-French: ) and Vivus Meldensis ("Vives of Meaux") in Latin, was a major Talmudic scholar and Tosafist from northern France, father-in-law of Isaac ben Joseph of Corbeil. He was a disciple of Rabbi Judah Messer Leon, and succeeded him in 1225 as head of the Yeshiva of Paris, which then boasted some 300 students; his best known student was Meir of Rothenburg. He is the author of many Tosafot.

Disputation of Paris

Yechiel of Paris is best known as the main defender of Judaism in the 1240 Disputation of Paris held at the court of Louis IX, where he argued against the convert Nicholas Donin. This was the first formal Christian-Jewish disputation held in medieval Christendom. In defence of accusations of slanderous quotes in the Talmud against the founder of Christianity, Yechiel argued that the references to Yeshu in fact refer to different individuals. Yechiel delineates them as Jesus himself another "Yeshu haNotzri", also from Nazareth (Sanhedrin 107b), and a third "Yeshu" of the boiling excrement in Gittin 47a. Berger (1998) writes: "Whatever one thinks of the sincerity of the multiple Jesus theory, R. Yehiel found a way to neutralize some dangerous rabbinic statements, and yet the essential Ashkenazic evaluation of Jesus remains even in the text of this disputation." Yechiel's argument was followed by Nachmanides at the Disputation of Barcelona in 1263, but not by Profiat Duran at the Disputation of Tortosa in 1413-14.

Although the disputants were believed by at least some to have successfully defended Judaism, a decree was passed for the public burning of all available manuscripts of the Talmud—and on Friday, June 17, 1244, 24 carriage loads of written works were set alight.

The arguments and the contents of the debate were published in Thorn in 1873 under the title Vikuaḥ Rabenu Yeḥiel mi Paris ().

Disputed move to Acre
According to some sources, Yechiel arrived in Outremer around 1258 and settled in Acre, then ruled by the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, along with his son, Messire Delicieux (מישירא דילשיש) and a large group of followers. He soon re-established the Great Academy of Paris (Midrash haGadol d'Paris) and is believed to have died there between 1265 and 1268. He was buried near Haifa, at Mount Carmel.

According to Simha Emanuel [he] however, he never emigrated and died in France, where a fragment of a funeral stone has been found bearing the inscription,

מורנו

י)יחיאל)

לגן עד

(translated: Our master Yehiel to the Paradise), which could be from Rabbi Yechiel.

Teachings
He was a tosafist. His tosafot are quoted as authoritative by Peretz ben Elijah in "Kol Bo" and in "Mordechai". He is frequently quoted also in the edited tosafot.

Area code 806

Area code 806 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the U.S. state of Texas in the Panhandle and South Plains, including the cities of Amarillo and Lubbock. It was created in 1957 in a flash-cut from numbering plan area (NPA) 915, the north-western corner of the state, but also incorporated a small portion of the region of area code 817 to the east.

Prior to October 2021, area code 806 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988. In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which created a conflict for exchanges that permit seven-digit dialing. This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
