Sørli

Sørli is a former municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county in Norway. The  municipality existed from 1915 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality encompassed the southern part of what is now the municipality of Lierne in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Mebygda.

History

The municipality of Sørli was established on 1 July 1915 when the old municipality of Lierne (Finnlierne) was split in two parts: Nordli (population: 863) in the north and Sørli (population: 739) in the south. The old municipality of Lierne had been created on 1 January 1874 when it was separated from the large municipality of Snåsa. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring municipalities of Sørli (population: 898) and Nordli (population: 1,147) were reunited to once again form the municipality of Lierne.

Name
The municipal name is named after the old name for the region () which means "mountainside" (similar to the Norwegian word ). Historically, the prefix Finna- was often added to the name: . This prefix is the plural genitive case of  which means "Sami person" (or Finn) because the district was historically populated by Sami people prior to the arrival of ethnic Norwegians. Later, the prefix was dropped and the definite plural form of li was used, Lierne. In 1915, the old municipality was divided into two parts: Nordli and Sørli. The names of these new municipalities came from the older name. The definite singular form of the name was used, , and the prefix  was added to show that this was the southern part of Li.

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 elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.

Mayors
The mayors of Sørli:

 1915–1919: Hans H. Skjelbred 
 1920–1922: Theodor Brønstad 
 1923–1925: Paul P. Østborg 
 1926–1945: Teodor L. Østnor
 1945-1945: Hans H. Udland
 1946-1946: Frits Gravseth (Ap)
 1946–1955: Emil Gåsbak (LL)
 1956–1963: Ole Strand (V)

Municipal council
The municipal council  of Sørli was made up of representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:

Crundale, Kent

Crundale is a mostly rural village and civil parish in the Ashford District of Kent in southeast England. The village covers a section of one of the dual escarpments of the North Downs at this point, about halfway between Ashford and Canterbury.

Geography
About a quarter of the village is woodland, and barring its western side which slopes steeply to the Great Stour, which is at  above sea level, most of the rest of its land is at more than  above Ordnance Datum.

Amenities
The community living in the civil parish is relatively small - many of its activities are shared with the neighbouring parish of Godmersham.

History
An early Anglo-Saxon gold buckle and other princely items from a grave dating from the mid-7th century were found in the Crundale Downs in 1861 and are now in the British Museum. The intricately designed object is notable for the representation of a three dimensional appliqué fish.

The early Norman parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Blessed Virgin and is a building listed in the highest category of the national system, at Grade I. It is on the escarpment of the Crundale Downs, a less eroded top layer of the escarpment, making it higher, about half a mile southeast of the village mainstay which is made up of dual clusters very close to each other and connected by road and by separate footpath. The tombs of Juliana Hervey and Reverend Francis Paine are separately listed.

Recreation
A national trail footpath runs north–south through the civil parish, linking to Canterbury and to Ashford.

Pimp That Snack

Pimp That Snack is a website which received media attention during April 2006.  The website features guides on creating giant versions of everyday snacks.  Articles are submitted by members of the public and a voting system allows people to rate each pimp from 1 to 100.

Initially known as 'Pimp My Snack', the site changed name during May 2006 following contact from Viacom legal representatives, who claimed that the name of the website was an infringement on trademarks relating to their Pimp My Ride television program.

The website creator Pete Wilcock, from Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, Greater Manchester, has been interviewed on national radio, newspapers, and popular magazines such as Zoo, Nuts, and Loaded.

On 2 August 2006, the Channel 4 food programme The F-Word did a segment on the website.  Food critic Giles Coren "pimped" a giant Jaffa cake. With an audience of 6 million people in the UK, this was a substantial plug for the website and the resulting traffic caused some difficulty keeping the site online.

More recently the website has been featured on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 programme, as well as BBC Two's Ready Steady Cook programme on 3 November 2006 and on Channel 4's Homemade programme on 17 February 2007.

The site was featured on BBC Radio 5 Live on 7 February 2010.

Godmersham

Godmersham is a village and civil parish in the Ashford District of Kent, England. The village straddles the Great Stour river where it cuts through the North Downs and its land is approximately one third woodland, all in the far east and west on the escarpment of the North Downs. It is six miles north-east of Ashford on the A28 road midway between Ashford and Canterbury in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the North Downs Way and Pilgrims' Way traversing the parish.

The village is divided in two by the floodplain of the Stour. The parish civil includes Godmersham village itself, and Bilting. It shares many of its activities with the neighbouring parish of Crundale, a smaller parish to the east.

History
The first known record of Godmersham was AD824 when Beornwulf, King of Mercia, gave it as a whole to Wulfred, Archbishop of Canterbury. The village also is recorded in the Domesday Book. Bilting is thought to be older.

Although a significant number of residents work on the land, most of the community has adopted economically a status whereby its people work in Ashford, Canterbury and further afield. Many commute to London by train from Wye station. The village school in The Street closed in 1946 and the shop/post office in 1982. It is many years since there was a public house in the village, which describes a minority of civil parishes today.

Saint Lawrence Church
The ancient parish church is dedicated to St Lawrence the Martyr, it is part Saxon, part 12th-century (Norman), and was restored in 1864, it contains a carving considered to be one of the earliest representations of Thomas Becket.

Godmersham Park

Godmersham Park House was built in 1732 and eventually became the property of Edward Austen Knight, brother of Jane Austen who was known to have visited often. Her novel Mansfield Park depicts similar characters and scenes as those visible at the start of the 19th century, and in the case of architecture still present. The house is currently the home of the Association of British Dispensing Opticians College. A drawing of Godmersham Park is also set to appear as the background for the £10 note due to enter circulation in 2017, which will predominantly feature the portrait of Austen allegedly drawn by her sister Cassandra.

Notable residents
Samuel Pegge, Antiquarian, Vicar of Godmersham 1730-1750.

In popular culture

Author Russell Hoban repurposes Godmersham as "Good Mercy" in his 1980, post apocalyptic novel Riddley Walker.

Bongaigaon Refinery

Bongaigaon Refinery is an oil refinery and petrochemical complex located in the city of Bongaigaon in the administrative district of Chirang in Assam. It was announced in 1969 and construction began in 1972.

History
On 5 December 1972, the then Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi announced in the Lok Sabha the Government's decision to set up a new Refinery-cum-Petrochemical complex in Assam. The foundation stone of the complex was laid on 19 January 1972 at Bongaigaon. Bongaigaon Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (BRPL) was incorporated as Government of India Undertaking under the administrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas on 20 February 1974. The company became a subsidiary of IndianOil (IOC) on 29 March 2001 after disinvestments of share by Govt of India.

BRPL has the distinction of being the first indigenous grass root Refinery in the country integrated with a Petrochemical complex at one location.

At present, the Refinery is processing crude available from the oil fields of ONGC and OIL located in the North-East India and Ravva crude oil from the Krishna Godavari basin off the coast of Andhra Pradesh.

The capacity of the Refinery was augmented in 1995 to 2.35 million tonnes per year (51,400 barrels per stream day ) through expansion of the Refinery consisting of one Crude Distillation Unit (CDU-II) and one Delayed Coking Unit (DCU-II). A LPG bottling plant of capacity 22000 MTPA was added to the complex and commissioned in March 2003.

When oil was found in Assam in the 1960s, the Assamese wanted this refined within the state. But Assamese consumption of products was tiny: most of the consumption would be in West Bengal and Bihar. So the government decided to pump Assamese crude to a refinery at Barauni, Bihar. However, Assamese students protested, and blockaded oil supply in 1980. A committee was appointed to suggest a new refining location within Assam. The students thought this would be near the oilfields. Instead the committee suggested Bongaigaon, far away from the oilfields and as close as possible to West Bengal, which would consume most of the products. This was a compromise between the politics and economics of refinery location.
The refinery recently merged with the IOCL in 2009.

Blue ground dove

The blue ground dove (Claravis pretiosa) is a small New World tropical dove. It is a resident breeder from southeastern Mexico to northwestern Peru and northern Argentina, and on Trinidad in the Caribbean.

Habitat and breeding
The blue ground dove is relatively common in open woodland, forest edges, clearings and roadsides, especially in more humid areas. It is found from sea level to about 1200 m altitude. It builds a flimsy dish  nest of twigs 1–11 m high in a tree and lays two white eggs.

Description
Blue ground doves are small pigeons, 20 cm long with a weight of 65-72 g. Adult males have blue-grey upperparts and paler grey underparts, becoming grey-white on the face. The flight feathers and outer tail feathers are blackish, and the wings are boldly spotted black (these spots often forming distinct bands). The iris is red or yellow, the bare eyering is green, and the legs are flesh-pink. The female has a grey-brown head neck and breast, becoming pale blue-grey on the underwings and belly. The back is ruddy brown, contrasting with the chestnut rump and tail. The spots in the wings are chestnut-brown. Young birds resemble the female, but have ruddy scaling on the back.

In most of its range, the male is unlikely to be confused with other species, but can locally be confused with the members of the genus Paraclaravis. The female also resembles the females of the members of the genus Paraclaravis, but at most localities it is more likely to be confused with the female ruddy ground dove, which is smaller and has blackish (not chestnut-brown) markings on the wings. In most regions where the blue ground dove occurs, a blue-grey and a brown bird flying through the trees together is bound to be this species.

Diet and behaviour
Blue ground doves occur singly, in pairs or sometimes in small groups. They feed mainly on the ground on seeds and small insects, and take grit. The male's song, given from the treetops, is a loud  boop.

Taxonomy
The genus Claravis was introduced in 1899 by the American ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser with the blue ground dove as the type species. The genus name combines the Latin clarus meaning "distinct" or "clear" with avis meaning "bird". Claravis formerly included the maroon-chested ground dove and purple-winged ground dove in addition to the blue ground dove, but the former two species were reassigned to the genus Paraclaravis due to the finding that the traditional Claravis was non-monophyletic. A study carried out using sequences of four mitochondrial genes and one nuclear gene, that included representatives from 15 of the 17 species in the group, recovered blue ground dove to be the clade with high support.

Fernando Ferrari-Pérez

Fernando Ferrari-Pérez (1857–1933) was appointed head of the Mexican Geographical and Exploring Commission in the early 1880s, with a commission to catalogue the native mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, and plants of Mexico.  He was the author of the Catalogue of Animals collected by the Geographical and Exploring commission of the Republic of Mexico (1887).
In addition to the above quotation's content, oral tradition holds that Ferrari-Pérez was carrying with him a belt with gold dust hidden in the lining; it was supposed to be used for various (state) payments during the exhibition. Ferrari-Pérez managed to save himself swimming up to shore and taking the belt with him and declaring its contents afterwards. The event was transmitted in time as an 'act of honesty".

Outside of Mexico, Ferrari's work is known especially in the Natural Sciences milieu, and while it is true that his professional activities focused mainly around the sciences, he also dedicated an important part of his life to other activities.

His professional authoritativeness led the government of the time to ask his participation in international diplomacy, both in the promotion of economic relations in the Americas and in Mexico's particular interest to open economic and political links with Europe; thus he was awarded by the French Republic the medal of "Knight of the Legion of Honour" in 1901.

Besides this activity, his work included basic research in photography (he was also a chemist) as well as in the practice of photography. He earned many international prizes; as a verifiable example, reference is given (United States of America) to the Universal Exposition of Saint Louis - MDCCCCIV (1904)
Motivation: Photographs in Glass
Date: 1904
Grand Prize
A "dossier" containing his research into different types of light (he also mentions the effect of "uranium" on sensible film) and different types of chemical substances. Researches dating to the last decades of the 19th century. A colour photograph is also present.
Fernando Ferrari Pérez introduced cinema into Mexico by purchasing the rights for exploitation of the Frères Lumière patent for the country. The original contract document exists.
Fernando Ferrari Pérez archives (documents and objects) are deposited in Italy, in the city of Mantova (Mantua, in English), in the city of birth of his father, Luigi Ferrari, who exiled himself in México because of a death sentence pending on him because of his participation in the fight of Italy for unification. The archives are in the custody of the Archivio di Stato della città di Mantova (the state archives of the city of Mantua).

A species of lizard, Sceloporus ferrariperezi, was named in his honor by Edward Drinker Cope in 1885. The species is considered a junior synonym of Sceloporus torquatus, which had been named by Arend Friedrich August Wiegmann in 1828.

is a major north-south national highway on the Sea of Japan side of the island of Honshū, Japan. It traverses four prefectures, with Niigata at its southern end, then Yamagata, Akita, and finally, Aomori at its northern end. The  long highway begins at an intersection with national routes 8, 17, 113, 116, 289, 350, and 402 in the capital of Niigata, Niigata. Travelling north, the highway links the prefectural capitals Akita and Aomori. In central Aomori the highway ends at the northern terminus of National Route 4 and National Route 45.

Route description
The main line of National Route 7 has a length of . When bypasses signed as National Route 7 are included, its total distance increases to .
The highway's origin and southern terminus lies in Chuo-ku, Niigata at junction with national routes 8, 17, 113, 116, 289, 350, and 402. The highway passes through Shibata, Murakami, Tsuruoka, Sakata, Yurihonjō, Akita, Noshiro, Ōdate, and Hirosaki. Its endpoint and northern terminus lies in Aomori at a junction with national routes 4 and 45.

History
What eventually became National Route 7 between Aburakawa-juku in present-day Aomori and Tsuchizakiminato-juku in Akita was established during the Edo period by Tokugawa Ieyasu as the Ushū Hama Kaidō and Ushū Kaidō, subroutes of the Ōshū Kaidō.

National Route 7 was established by the Cabinet of Japan roughly along the aforementioned section of the Ushū Kaidō as well as a new road south to Niigata on 4 December 1952 as First Class National Highway 7 between Niigata and Aomori.

Vol-au-vent

A vol-au-vent (pronounced , French for "windblown", to describe its lightness) is a small hollow case of puff pastry.  It was formerly also called a patty case.

A vol-au-vent is typically made by cutting two circles in rolled out puff pastry, cutting a hole in one of them, then stacking the ring-shaped piece on top of the disc-shaped piece.  The pastry is cooked, then filled with any of a variety of savory or sweet fillings.

The pastry is sometimes credited to Marie-Antoine Carême.  However, an entremet called petits gâteaux vole au vent is mentioned in François Marin's 1739 cookbook Les Dons de Comus, years before Carême's birth.

In France, it is usually served as an appetizer or a small snack, filled with chicken or fish.

International similarities 

In Belgium, it is a common main dish that can be found on the menus of most restaurants, and is nearly always filled with a combination of chicken, mushrooms, and small meatballs, served with either mashed potatoes or fries.  This Belgian variation is also available in the Netherlands, where it is called pasteitje ("little pastry").  In American cuisine, chicken à la King was formerly a popular filling.

In Pakistan, vol-au-vents with meat filling are called "patties": round ones usually have a chicken filling, and rectangular ones have a beef filling. They are served with chutney.

In the Mexican region of Veracruz it is hispanicised as volován, and often filled with local fillings such as pollo con mole, atún a la veracruzana, and others. The pastry first arrived in Mexico during the Second French intervention.

Jeryl Lynn

Jeryl Lynn are strains of mumps virus used in the Mumpsvax mumps vaccine made by Merck.  The strains are named after Jeryl Lynn Hilleman.  In 1963, Jeryl's father, Maurice Hilleman, was leading efforts to produce a mumps vaccine for Merck.  He cultured the mumps virus from her throat, and in 1967 a vaccine was produced which is now widely used.

The Jeryl Lynn strains used in the manufacture of Mumpsvax later turned out to contain two distinguishable viral substrains, JL1 and JL2.
Further research showed that the JL1 strain was preferentially selected by propagation in Vero and chick embryo fibroblast (CEF) cell cultures.  The JL2 strain was preferentially selected by passage in embryonated chicken eggs.

In the US, the Jeryl Lynn strain-based vaccines supplanted the previous, killed virus, vaccine in 1978.
