Blewcoat School

Blewcoat School is a building in Caxton Street, London, that was built in 1709 as a school for the poor (a Bluecoat school). It was used as a school until 1926. In 1954, it was purchased by the National Trust who used it as a gift shop and information centre. In 2013 the building was refurbished as The Blewcoat, a store for fashion designer Ian Stuart.

School

The school was founded in Duck Lane in about 1688 by voluntary subscription as a charity school for the education of poor boys to teach them reading, writing, religion, and trades. It moved to purpose-built premises in Caxton Street. From 1714 to about 1876, it also admitted girls. In 1899, it was agreed that the school should move to a site that had been owned by the Christ Church National Schools Trust, and the Caxton Street site was then used for an elementary school. The school closed in 1926.

Later uses
During World War II, the building was used by the American services as a store. Afterwards, the Girl Guides used it as a youth club. When the National Trust bought it in 1954, it was used as their membership and head office. Later, it was converted into a gift shop. June 2014 saw the opening of British designer Ian Stuart's boutique in the building, selling bridal gowns, special occasion wear and evening gown collections.

Mo, Telemark

Mo is a former municipality in Telemark county, Norway. The  municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The area is now part of Tokke Municipality. The administrative centre was the village of Vistad which is located just west of the present village of Dalen.

History
The parish of Mo was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1879, there was a small border adjustment where a part of Laardal Municipality (population: 6) was transferred to Mo Municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Mo Municipality (population: 1,658) and Lårdal Municipality (population: 1,929) were merged to form a new municipality called Tokke.

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Mo farm () since the first Mo Church was built there. The name is identical with the word  which means "heath" or "moorland".

Government
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Mo was made up of 21 representatives that were elected to four year terms. The tables below show the historical composition of the council by political party.

Pre-shared key

In cryptography, a pre-shared key (PSK) is a shared secret which was previously shared between the two parties using some secure channel before it needs to be used.

Key
To build a key from shared secret, the key derivation function is typically used. Such systems almost always use symmetric key cryptographic algorithms. The term PSK is used in Wi-Fi encryption such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), where the method is called WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, and also in the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), where it is known as EAP-PSK. In all these cases, both the wireless access points (AP) and all clients share the same key.

The characteristics of this secret or key are determined by the system which uses it; some system designs require that such keys be in a particular format. It can be a password, a passphrase, or a hexadecimal string. The secret is used by all systems involved in the cryptographic processes used to secure the traffic between the systems.  

Crypto systems rely on one or more keys for confidentiality.  One particular attack is always possible against keys, the brute force key space search attack. A sufficiently long, randomly chosen, key can resist any practical brute force attack, though not in principle if an attacker has sufficient computational power (see password strength and password cracking for more discussion). Unavoidably, however, pre-shared keys are held by both parties to the communication, and so can be compromised at one end, without the knowledge of anyone at the other. There are several tools available to help one choose strong passwords, though doing so over any network connection is inherently unsafe as one cannot in general know who, if anyone, may be eavesdropping on the interaction. Choosing keys used by cryptographic algorithms is somewhat different in that any pattern whatsoever should be avoided, as any such pattern may provide an attacker with a lower effort attack than brute force search. This implies random key choice to force attackers to spend as much effort as possible; this is very difficult in principle and in practice as well. As a general rule, any software except a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) should be avoided.

Saif bin Sultan

Saif bin Sultan () was the fourth of the Yaruba dynasty Imams of Oman, a member of the Ibadi sect. He ruled from 1692 to 1711. Where Omani presence became firmly established on the coast.

Early years

Saif bin Sultan was the son of the second Yaruba Imam, Sultan bin Saif.
On his father's death his brother Bil'arab bin Sultan became Imam in 1679.
Later Saif bin Sultan fell out with his brother, built up his forces and besieged Bil'arab in Jabrin.
After Bil'arab died there in 1692/93 Saif bin Sultan became Imam.

Imam

Saif bin Sultan invested in improving agriculture, building aflaj in many parts of the interior to provide water, and planting date palms in the Al Batinah Region to encourage Arabs to move from the interior and settle along the coast.
He built new schools.
He made the castle of Rustaq his residence, adding the Burj al Riah wind tower.

Saif bin Sultan continued the struggle against the Portuguese on the East African coast.
In 1696 his forces attacked Mombasa, besieging 2,500 people who had taken refuge in Fort Jesus. The Siege of Fort Jesus ended after 33 months when the thirteen survivors of famine and smallpox surrendered.
Soon after the Omanis took Pemba Island, Kilwa and Zanzibar.

The expansion of Omani power included the first large-scale settlement of Zanzibar by Omani migrants.
Saif bin Sultan appointed Arab governors to the city states of the coast before he returned to Oman. Later, many of these were to come under the control of Muhammed bin Uthman al-Mazrui, governor of Mombasa, and his descendants, the Mazrui, who made only nominal acknowledgement of the suzerainty of Oman.
Saif bin Sultan also encouraged piracy against the merchant trade of India, Persia and even of Europe.

Death and legacy

Saif bin Sultan died on 4 October 1711. He was buried in the castle of Rustaq in a handsome tomb, later destroyed by a Wahhabi general.
At his death he had great wealth, said to include 28 ships, 700 male slaves and one third of Oman's date trees. He was succeeded by his son Sultan bin Saif II.
Saif bin Sultan earned the title "the Earth's bond" or "the chain of the Earth" for the benefits he had brought to the people of Oman.

Jonas Frögren

Jonas Frögren (born August 28, 1980) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player who last played for Leksands IF in the Swedish Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

Playing career
Frögren was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft in the 8th round as the 206th pick overall.

Frögren came to Färjestads BK as a junior in the mid 1990s and played seven seasons with Färjestads BK, having won two Swedish Championships and four Swedish Championship silver medals.

On July 9, 2008, Frögren signed a two-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL.  However, the contract Frögren signed was rejected by the NHL due to a dispute over his status.  While the League believed he was an entry level player (as he was drafted by the Calgary Flames in 1998 but did not sign with them), the Leafs and Frögren's agent, Don Meehan, believed he was an unrestricted free agent, thus signing him to a contract worth more than the $875,000 limit that was mandated by the NHL for entry level players.

Frögren scored his first NHL goal on December 20, 2008 against Marc-André Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

On April 1, 2009, the NHL came to a decision on the discipline of the handling of Frögren's contract. The Maple Leafs were fined $500,000 for paying Frögren the original contract, which included a $755,000 signing bonus. It is believed that Frögren used approximately $400,000 of his signing bonus to get out of the final year of his contract with Färjestad.  The Maple Leafs were also forced to forfeit their 2009 fourth round draft pick (previously acquired from the Carolina Hurricanes via the Tampa Bay Lightning at the 2009 NHL Trade Deadline). Neither Frögren's salary nor contractual status were affected by the NHL's decision.

On April 21, 2010, Frögren returned to Färjestads BK signing a four-year contract. Upon completion of the second year of his contract with Färjestads, Frogen sought a release from his contract to join the Kontinental Hockey League with HC Dinamo Minsk and Atlant Moscow Oblast in the 2012–13 season.

After returning to Sweden and playing the 2013–14 season with Skellefteå AIK, and providing a veteran presence on the Blueline in claiming the Championship, Frogren left as a free agent to be closer to family in signing a one-year contract in Leksands IF on May 9, 2014. Frogren announced his retirement from active play on April 27, 2016, as Captain of Leksands IF.

Awards
 Swedish Champion with Färjestads BK in 2002, 2006, and 2011 and with Skellefteå AIK in 2014.

Kadayam

Kadayam is a town in the district of Tenkasi in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It was an important hub for revolutionaries in the 1900s. Kadayam boasts a notable association with Tamil's revolutionary poet, Subramania Bharati.

Etymology

Kadayam was historically known as Kadayam which literally means the "Town of  Kadayam" (a specific Hindu caste).

A local legend says that its people were originally living around the Kalyani Amman temple; however, the temple goddess could not tolerate the noise created by the inhabitants, so she pulled out a Kadayam  (a bracelet in ancient Tamil) and threw it outside. She instructed the people to go and reside around the spot where the bracelet fell, thus making the new area known as Kadayam which later became Kadayam.

Climate

Association with Subramania Bharati
The poet and freedom fighter Subramania Bharati once lived in Kadayam, India. Bharati's wife was a native of Kadayam and it is believed that Bharathiyar often sang patriotic songs from his in-laws rooftop. Bharathi stayed in Pazhaya Gramam of Kadayam with his family, where he was known for his daily walks to the Nithyakalayani Amman Temple, during which he stopped to hug the donkeys straying into the Pazhaya Gramam. He composed his Kali songs, the Panchali Sabhadam and most of his revolutionary poems including "Chinnanchiru Kiliye","Odi Vilayadu Pappa" and "Kaani Nilam Vendum" there.

Temple Sites
Kadayam is known for its ancient temples scattered across the length and breadth of the Town. The popular Nithyakalayani Amman Temple is in the village center. A Shastha (Thala Malayan) temple lies on the banks of the Ramanadhi (a tributary of the Thamirabarani) as well as a  Sri Pathrakali Amman Temple and Sri Muppudathiamman  Temple in Kilakadayam. The former  is dedicated to the 18 Patti (Town) people, who celebrate the 8-day festival.

Acid Lime
Kadayam is famous for its acidic variety of lime. The uniqueness is due to rich soil in Kadayam. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University has released a variety PKM-1 , bred by local selection from Kadayam through its research station at Periakulam. These limes are exported to Kadayam and the neighboring states of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. More than five commission markets offer lime in Kadayam. The lemon cultivated mainly from Kadayam, Papaankulam, Gothandaramapuram, Servaikaranpatti, Mayilanoor ,Pulavanoor, etc., The lemon from these areas are more juices than other areas.

Enrollment and graduation rates
In November 2006, the district had an enrollment of 2,596 students. In May 2015, the district had an enrollment of 2,791 students.

The school district implemented a plan in 2013-2014, referred to as the Student Achievement Initiative (SAI), that within 8 years of graduating, 60% of the students would receive a degree or certification from a technical training program or college. To achieve the goal, all seniors in high school were to submit an application for acceptance to Centralia College. Coupled with field trips to Centralia College, this allowed the district to achieve high rates of graduation, college admission, and career opportunities for the students. Officials and teachers in elementary and middle schools created programs to emphasize future college and employment opportunities by holding job assemblies, "swag days" for local and state schools of technical and university education, and "college-themed days".

The graduation rate for students at W.F. West High School in 2010 was 77%, with 33% of those students achieving admission into a university or training school. In 2018, 73% of seniors who graduated went on to further higher education. Starting in 2019, a four-year stretch of 100% of graduating senior classes were accepted into college. In 2019, the four-year graduation rate was 95%, bettering the state average by 14 points. The rate increased to 96% in 2022.

Funding
The SAI was originally funded by donations from the community, including a $10 million contribution from Orin C. Smith, who graduated from the high school in 1960. The fund is perpetual, and is able to pay out $500,000 per year.

The district, in 2022, was awarded a grant of over $1,000,000 from the Washington Student Achievement Council. The funds are to be used to reach out to parents and young children, particularly at-risk students.
