Stad (peninsula)

Stad or Stadlandet is a peninsula in Stad Municipality in the northwestern part of the Nordfjord district in Vestland county in Norway.  The peninsula is considered the dividing point between the Norwegian Sea to the north and the North Sea to the south.  The name is sometimes also written as Stadt, Statt, or Statlandet (not to be confused with the similar German word Stadt), because the Norwegian pronunciation of the d in this case is as a t. The name could be translated as "the land of places" or "the land of towns". Some of the larger villages on the peninsula include Ervik (northwestern tip), Borgundvåg and Leikanger (northeastern side), and the village of Selje (southwestern side).

Geography
The peninsula is a  mountain plateau topped by the  Tarvaldsegga peak. There are several lower valleys on the peninsula, but at the western end, the plateau plunges into the sea in a  cliff at Kjerringa.

Stad Peninsula has a very harsh, windy climate.  The highest wind speed in the country is often recorded at this promontory.  Located between the cities of Bergen (to the south) and Ålesund (in Møre og Romsdal county to the north), this is the only peninsula of mainland between Stavanger and Honningsvåg that goes out into open sea without any archipelago that breaks waves. Most of the rest of the ship route from Bergen to Ålesund is protected by islands.  The Svinøy Lighthouse (Svinøy fyr) is located  north of the peninsula on a small island in the Norwegian Sea.

Because of the harsh climate, the peninsula can be an obstacle for ship transport along the coast of Norway. It is one of the main obstacles preventing a fast-boat passenger route from Bergen to Ålesund, a distance of .  Current transportation from Bergen-Ålesund is by air via Oslo, by car (7–8 hours), by bus (9 hours) or by the Hurtigruten coastal ferry (13 hours).

As far back as the 1870s there were plans for the construction of a ship tunnel. A pilot project was developed in 1985, and the development company founded the same year. Plans are currently well underway to build the Stad Ship Tunnel at the narrowest point connecting the Moldefjorden to the Kjødspollen (the innermost part of the Vanylvsfjorden) with capacity to take large ships such as the Hurtigruten vessels.

Merton Park tram stop

Merton Park tram stop is a stop on the Tramlink service in the London Borough of Merton.

It overlaps part of the site of the former Merton Park railway station which was served by passenger trains on the West Croydon to Wimbledon Line until 1997, and by trains via Tooting Junction on the Merton Abbey Branch until 1929. The station building of the original station (about 200 yards south) has been converted to a private house.

Access is provided by footpath from Kingston Road at the site of the old level crossing and signal box. A footpath also comes from the nearby nature preserve at Nursery Road playing fields and another level crossing from a footpath from Dorset Road (B285).

Trams call at the stop every 5 minutes with trams scheduled to arrive at both platforms simultaneously.

Connections

London Buses routes 152; 163; and 164 serve the tram stop.

Nubuck

Nubuck (pronounced ) is top-grain leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side, or outside, to give a slight nap of short protein fibers, producing a velvet-like surface. It is resistant to wear, and may be white or coloured.

Nubuck is similar to suede, but is created from the outer side of a hide, giving it more strength and thickness and a fine grain. It is generally more expensive than suede, and must be coloured or dyed heavily to cover up the sanding and stamping process.

Nubuck characteristics are similar to aniline leather. It is soft to the touch, scratches easily, and water drops darken it temporarily (it dries to its original color). Shoes and auto interiors are some of the most common commercial uses for this leather.

Originating from the leather tanning traditions of yore, Nubuck leather gets its name from "new" and buck(skin)., a nod to the young deer hides initially used for its production. Over time, the term has expanded to include similar materials made from other types of hide, typically cowhide or calfskin. This top-grain leather is valued for its velvety surface, achieved through sanding or buffing, which distinguishes it from other types of leather in texture and appearance.

Morden Road tram stop

Morden Road is a Tramlink stop in the London Borough of Merton. It is on the site of the former Morden Road railway station on the Wimbledon-West Croydon line, which closed to rail traffic in 1997. The tram stop consists of two platforms on either side of the double track, linked by pedestrian level crossings. Immediately to the east of the station is a single-track section which reaches as far as Phipps Bridge tram stop.

The eastbound platform is directly linked by ramp and stairway to Morden Road. The town centre of Morden lies  to the south. A pedestrian entrance to the National Trust's Morden Hall Park is on Morden Road just to the south of the stop.

The stop is interlinked as an out of station interchange (OSI) with South Wimbledon on the London Underground's Northern line. The two stations are classed as an interchange for ticketing purposes but both managed separately.

Connections
London Buses routes 93, 470 and night route N155 serve the tram stop.

Future

A planned new line to the Tramlink light rail or a separate bus rapid transit (BRT) system called the Sutton Link will create a new tram or BRT with existing tram services for interchange with new platforms built at Morden Road somewhere close to the current tram stop, offering services to Sutton via St Helier or South Wimbledon via Morden Road.

Girls' Schools Association

The Girls' Schools Association (GSA) is a professional association of the heads of independent girls' schools. It is a constituent member of the Independent Schools Council.

History
The GSA can trace its history back to the Association of Headmistresses which was founded in 1874 by Dorothea Beale and Frances Buss. The aim was to agree which issues need challenging and which could be ignored. Buss served as the founding president.

Enid Essame of Queenswood School was an honorary secretary before she became president in 1960. She was succeeded by Diana Reader Harris in 1964. She served until 1966 organising a considered response to the influential Plowden Report. It was established in 1974 following the amalgamation of two of the AHM's sub-groups: the Association of Heads of Girls' boarding Schools and the Association of Independent and Direct Grant Schools. It moved from London to new headquarters in Leicester in 1984, where it shared offices with the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) before moving to its current office, still in Leicester.

Structure
The GSA is a member-led organisation providing mutual professional support and representing the views of practising heads of independent girls' schools.  A series of member-led committees report to a council of heads which is led by officers ie the president, vice-president (usually the previous year's president), the president-elect and treasurer. Each presidential position is usually held by a practising head for one calendar year.

Since 1994 the GSA has been supported by a professional secretariat which is currently led by chief executive Donna Stevens.

Khreshchatyk (Kyiv Metro)

Khreshchatyk (, ) is a station on the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line of the Kyiv Metro. The station is named for the Khreshchatyk street, the most central street in Kyiv. The station was opened in 1960 along with the first stage of the Metro. It  The station is pylon trivault (architects Yu.Tyahno and I.Maslenkov) that features ceramic Ukrainian ornaments framed by metallic grills on the central hall  sides of the pylons. White marble is used elsewhere, particularly for the walls and the main pylon frames. The ceiling is covered in white plaster and lighting comes from hidden lamps in the niches of the central vault and a central row of lamps.

In 1976, the station became the first transfer point in the system to the newly opened Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line's (then named Kurenivsko-Chervonoarmiyska Line) Maidan Nezalezhnosti (then called Ploshcha Kalinina but soon renamed to Ploshcha Zhovtnevoi Revolyutsii). The stations are connected side to side with staircases and an escalator. The original corridor, however, proved to be too short and unable to cope with rising passenger traffics and in 1986 a second, longer corridor connected the opposite sides of the stations allowing traffic to be diverted. In the future, the longer corridor is planned to be fitted with travelator, speeding up the passenger flow in the longer corridor.

The station has two vestibules, the first one is built into a restaurant building (now occupied by a shop) on Khreshchatyk Street. The second one was opened in 1963 (replacing a large coat of arms of the Ukrainian SSR) and is located on the corner of Instituska and Horodetska streets.

Behind the station is a set of reversal sidings that continue as a single track service branch into the Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line and the Syretsko-Pecherska Line. This is the main artery that is used for interline transit between depots and lines. As well as for nighttime stands.

Andrew Kerr (festival co-founder)

Andrew Kerr (29 November 1933 – 6 October 2014) was a co-founder of Glastonbury Fair, the 1971 forerunner of today's Glastonbury Festival. Kerr managed the festival site up to the mid-1980s, helping establish it as the UK's foremost music festival.

Glastonbury Fair
In June 1971, Kerr staged "Glastonbury Fair", along with Arabella Churchill and some other friends. Glastonbury Fair originated the use of the name 'Glastonbury', the June date, and the pyramid stage, inspired by the work of author John Michell. The position of the stage was dowsed by Kerr according with his belief in ley lines, and the 'Glastonbury' part of the festival's name was introduced.

Kerr was inspired to put on a free festival after his experience at the commercial Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. His original motivation for staging a free festival was outlined in a leaflet published at the time:

To mark the 40th anniversary of the Glastonbury Fair, at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival Kerr organised a 'Spirit of 71' stage, with a number of the original performers. 'Spirit of 71' was also incorporated into the 2013 festival.

In his book Groovy Old Men author Nick Baker says of Kerr:

Life
Born in Ewell, Surrey, in 1933, Kerr's childhood during the war years was spent in south Oxfordshire, but he was evacuated to Ilfracombe for a period, and immediately afterwards the family was farming in the area.  He was at school at Radley College. He spent his National Service as a stores assistant at Portsmouth in the Royal Navy, in which his father also served.

For ten years following 1958 he was employed as personal assistant to Randolph Spencer Churchill, who was writing the official biography of his father, Sir Winston Churchill.

After organising Glastonbury Fair in 1971, Kerr continued to manage the Glastonbury Festival site up until the mid-1980s.

In 1992, Kerr put on the Whole Earth Show in Dorset, promoting organic agriculture and sustainable technologies. BBC Radio 4 carried the first wind-powered broadcast from the show, while Tibetan priests blessed the site and those present.

Kerr was a consistent advocate of the benefits of aerobic composting, and has spoken on TV and radio about composting and the potential of compost funerals.

Kerr spent his last years in Pilton, Somerset, home of the Glastonbury Festival.

Autobiography
Kerr's autobiography Intolerably Hip: The Memoirs of Andrew Kerr was published in May 2011.

Mike Laughna

Mike Laughna (born Frederick Michael Laughna; July 15, 1950 – August 28, 2012) was a former basketball player for Georgetown University.

Laughna, who attended Saint Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, New Jersey, remains one of the top scorers in Georgetown history, ranked above NBA star Dikembe Mutombo.  At the time of his graduation, Laughna held most of Georgetown's scoring records, but the advent of the three-point shot and the slam dunk made it possible for future players to accumulate points more rapidly.

Laughna is a member of the Georgetown University Basketball Hall of Fame, and is ranked 15th on Georgetown's "Top 100 Players" list.  He was also included as an honorable mention on the All Century Team.

On February 11, 1971, in a game against NYU, Laughna scored a career high 35 points.  Fellow Georgetown alumnus Patrick Ewing also scored 35 points as his career high.

Laughna has played professional basketball for a number of European teams. He died in 2012.

Georgetown University records 
The team's leading scorer in 1971 and 1972 Laughna is better remembered for his strength as a rebounder.  He is eighth in all-time rebounds and third in all-time rebounding average, as well as one of only five players to lead their team in rebounding for three consecutive seasons.  He is one of only three to average at least ten points and ten rebounds per game over his career, and one of only two Georgetown players whose scoring and rebounding averages are among the top ten. He is the only player ever to average double figures in rebounds in each of his varsity years.  He also holds five of the 30 single game rebounding records.

Gas chromatography ion detector

Many gas chromatograph detectors are ion detectors with varying methods of ionizing the components eluting from the gas chromatograph's column.

An ion detector is analogous to a capacitor or vacuum tube.  It can be envisioned as two metal grids separated by air with inverse charges placed on them.  An electric potential difference (voltage) exists between the two grids.  After components are ionized in the detector, they enter the region between the two grids, causing current to pass from one to the other.  This current is amplified and is the signal generated by the detector.  The higher the concentration of the component, the more ions are generated, and the greater the current.

Some early FIDs actually used two metal grids as their ion detectors.  However, more efficient designs have been developed, so few current ion-type detectors use two metal grids.  But the principle is the same, and it can be easiest to think of the detector in this manner.

Types of Ion Detectors
Flame ionization detector (FID) -- uses a flame to produce ions
Electron capture detector (ECD) -- uses beta radiation
Photo-ionization detector (PID) -- uses UV light to produce ions
Helium ionization detector (HID) -- uses a radioactive source to produce helium ions, which in turn ionize the components
Discharge ionization detector (DID) -- uses an electric spark source to produce helium ions, which in turn ionize the components
Pulsed discharge ionization detector (PDD) -- similar to a Discharge ionization detector (DID), but uses a different sort of spark

Henry Robert Charles Martin

Henry Robert Charles Martin (1889 – 1942) was a long-serving officer of arms at the College of Arms in London and a male English international badminton player.

Profile
Born at Maskeliya, Ceylon, the eldest son of Henry Thomas Martin, later of South Kensington, Martin was educated at Bedford School, then at Lincoln College, Oxford. He was called to the bar from the Middle Temple in 1912. He represented England as a badminton player. During the First World War, he served as a captain in the East Lancashire Regiment, and in the Intelligence Department from 1938-41. His first heraldic appointment came on 31 May 1922 when he was made Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary to replace Archibald George Blomefield Russell. He held this position until 2 August 1928 when he was promoted to the office of Richmond Herald of Arms in Ordinary to replace Gerald Wollaston. Martin was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1930. He held this office until his death from heart failure on 23 July 1942.

In 1914, Martin had married Mary Gladys, daughter of the Rev. John Whitby St Quintin, M.A., rector of Hatley St George, Cambridge; they had three daughters: Diana, Pamela (who married, in 1936, John Maitland Cowper, of Barclays Bank), and June.

Badminton career
He was part of the English team that toured Canada in 1925 to promote the sport on behalf of the Canadian Badminton Association which had recently been formed in 1921. He lived in Earls Terrace London at the time.

Chajeon Nori

Chajeon Nori, occasionally translated as Juggernaut Battle, is a traditional Korean game usually played by men, originating in the Andong region.  It may have originated as a commemoration of Wang Geon's victory over Gyeon Hwon at the Battle of Gochang (Andong) in 930, near the end of the Later Three Kingdoms period.  It resembles a jousting match, with the two commanders are atop large log frames maneuvered by their teams.  These trapezoidal log frames are known as dongchae, and are composed of two 10-meter-long logs tied together with straw rope.  The dongchae lie horizontally at the beginning of play, but then are hoisted up by their team.  Some members of the team carry the dongchae, while others fight with the opposing team to help their side advance.  

The commanders are chosen from among the team at the beginning of play.  The teams are traditionally named "east" and "west."  A team wins by forcing the other team's dongchae to the ground.  After their victory, the members of the winning team traditionally toss their straw sandals upward.

Yehoshua Weitzman

Rabbi Yehoshua Weitzman is an Israeli Rosh Yeshiva, heading Yeshivat Ma’alot Ya’akov, and prominent as a teacher and scholar of Torat Eretz Yisrael. 

Weitzman was born in 1949 in Tel-Aviv. Following five years of study at Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh, he learned for three years at Machon Harry Fischel under the auspices of Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren and Rabbi Sha'ar Yeshuv Cohen where he received smicha (ordination); he also was a student of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook. 
He then served as a Ra"m and mashgiach at Yeshivat Kfar Ha'Roeh and later as Rosh Kollel in Yeshivat HaGolan, Hispin.

In 1989, when Yeshivat Ma’alot Ya’akov was considering closing due to lack of students, Weitzman was appointed Rosh Yeshiva. Since his appointment, Yeshivat Ma’alot has grown from 60 students to over 300 students. Today, Yeshivat Ma’alot is one of Israel's largest Hesder Yeshivot with a large intake of Israeli students.

Rabbi Weitzman is considered the reviver of learning and teaching Torat Eretz Yisrael, the uniqueness of Torah, which is revealed only in the Land of Israel.  Weitzman is also the founder of Nachalat Shay, association for teaching Judaism and El-Ami Batzafon, a movement for outreach and Face to Face, (פנים אל פנים), a movement for unity of Jews.

He has spoken out against protests made by IDF soldiers against Gaza outpost evictions and demolitions.

Pat Marsden

Patrick Francis Marsden (November 8, 1936 – April 27, 2006) was a Canadian sportscaster and voice of the Canadian Football League play-by-play coverage in the 1970s and 1980s. He also worked as host for the historic 1972 Canada-Soviet Union hockey Summit Series sports telecasts. He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1989.

Marsden was born in Ottawa and attended St. Patrick's High School and the University of Ottawa, where he started his sportscasting career at local station CKOY. 

He later became sports director at CFTO in Toronto, and became immersed in all local and national sporting events. He even appeared as "John Marsden" in an episode of Bizarre (filmed at CFTO), in a Super Dave Osborne stunt at Toronto's CN Tower. 

Fired in 1986 after a physical altercation with his boss Ted Stuebing, Marsden then was hired by his CTV football broadcasting partner Bill Stephenson at CFRB, went to TSN, and later surfaced at The Fan 590. After helping to rebuild and essentially help create the image for The Fan 590, he retired in 2004.

Marsden spent most of his time in Florida due to what he felt was the socialization of Canadian society, but he continued to maintain a home in Toronto. 

He returned in 1996 to live in Toronto with his family joining him and died of lung cancer on April 27, 2006, aged 69, at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre.

Łęknica

Łęknica  (; , ) is a border town in western Poland, one of the two gminas of Żary County in Lubusz Voivodeship.

Muskau Park (Park Mużakowski), a Polish-German World Heritage Site, stretches north of the town centre.

Geography
The town is situated in the Polish part of the historic Upper Lusatia region, in the broad valley of the Neisse river, which forms the border with Germany. A bridge across the river connects it with the opposite German town of Bad Muskau, another border crossing in the south leads to Krauschwitz. Łęknica's population numbers 2,478 (2019).

History

The area along the Neisse river was already settled in the Bronze Age. While neighbouring Muskau was already mentioned in 1249 and was awarded city rights in 1452, the village of Lugnitz was first documented in 1505, then part of the Muskau state country.

According to the 1635 Peace of Prague, Lugknitz together with Upper Lusatia passed from the Bohemian Crown to the Electorate of Saxony and from 1697 to 1763 it was also under the rule of Polish kings in personal union. One of two main routes connecting Warsaw and Dresden ran through the area at that time. Upon the Congress of Vienna in 1815, it was ceded to Prussia and incorporated into the Province of Silesia. About 1880 it was still a small Sorbian agricultural village, one of only two Sorbian-speaking settlements east of the Neisse river, the other being Bronowice (Braunsdorf/Brunojcy). That changed with the turn of century, when industry was established on the Neisse. Brown coal started to be mined. Based on rich clay deposits, ceramic companies emerged and also glass factories.

From 1940 to 1945 the village was included within the city limits of Muskau as its eastern right-bank district. During World War II, 70% of the city was destroyed, as well as much of the industry (brown coal mine "Babina" from 40%, glassworks 30% and slate factories 50%). The town was separated from Bad Muskau by the new state border along the Oder–Neisse line, the remaining German population was expelled and the place was gradually settled with Polish military veterans, refugees, people returning from forced labour in Germany, people repatriated from France, Belgium and in 1958, 18 families repatriated from the Soviet Union settled in the city.

The settlement changed name several times, Łuknica in 1945–1947, then Ługnica and Łęknice. It received the name Łęknica in 1956 and obtained town privileges in 1969. In 1972 the border crossing between Poland and East Germany was opened and visa-free local border traffic was allowed.

Chaotic Ana

Chaotic Ana () is a 2007 Spanish drama film written, directed, and edited by Julio Medem which stars Manuela Vellés as the title character.

Plot

A synopsis prior to the release of the film stated:

"Caotica Ana is the story-journey of Ana during four years of her life, from 18 to 22. A countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7... until 0, like in hypnosis, through which Ana proves that she does not live alone, that her existence seems like a continuation of other lives of young women who died in a tragic way, all at the age of 22, and who live in the abyss of her unconscious memory. This is her chaos. Ana is the princess and the monster of this feminist fable against the tyranny of man."

Cast

Production and filming
Chaotic Ana is Medem's first new narrative film since his 2001 film Sex and Lucia, and his follow-up to the controversial documentary La pelota vasca. As with the former, this film has been shot in HD, using the Sony HDC-950. The film is a co-production of Medem's own production company Alicia Produce alongside Sogecine and Volcano Films, and it had the participation of TVE, Canal+, and ETB.

Medem's regular composer Alberto Iglesias could not score the film.

Shooting locations included Arizona, New York, Madrid, and Fuerteventura.

This film, and story, was an attempt by director Medem to cope with the deep depression that he was suffering after the tragic accident of his younger sister, Ana, who was killed in a car accident on 28 April 2001 when it was heading towards the wine town of Cariñena, Zaragoza, where an expo of her wax paintings was going to take place. Her other brother, Alvaro, was driving the car. In her memory, Julio has a daughter named after her. As he said: "It is an attempt to escape from my own memories without achieving it as she did".

Release 
Distributed by Sogepaq, the film premiered in Spain in August 2007.

Monetary overhang

Monetary overhang is a phenomenon in which people have more money holdings than they would normally choose to because of a lack of ability to spend it. In an economy where there is monetary overhang to due to shortages, if price controls are removed, the overhang tends to produce a burst of open inflation, or too much money chasing too few goods, thus raising prices. Monetary overhang can also be caused by excess credit.

This is a phenomenon often present with repressed inflation and was common in centrally planned economies like the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union experienced monetary overhang from the mid-1980s onwards. This was reported by the IMF in 1991. Subsequent to this report, the USSR collapsed.

Egge, Nord-Trøndelag

Egge is a former municipality in what was Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The   municipality existed from 1869 until 1964.  It included the land just north of the town of Steinkjer in what is now the municipality of Steinkjer in Trøndelag county.  The small municipality was south of the lake Snåsavatnet, west of the lake Fossemvatnet, and east of Beitstad. The main church for the municipality was Egge Church, just north of the town of Steinkjer.

History
The parish of Egge was established as a municipality on 1 January 1869 when it was separated from the large municipality of Stod.  Initially, Egge had a population of 941. In 1948, a small part of Egge (population: 70) was transferred to the neighboring town of Steinkjer.  

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee.  On 1 January 1964, a large merger took place: the neighboring municipalities of Beitstad (population: 2,563), Egge (population: 3,476), Kvam (population: 1,245), Ogndal (population: 2,678), Sparbu (population: 4,027), and Stod (population: 1,268) were all merged with the town of Steinkjer (population: 4,325) to form the new municipality of Steinkjer.

Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Egge farm () since the first Egge Church was built there. The name is the dative case of the word  which means "edge" (as in the edge of a knife), likely representing the fact that the old Egge farm is located on long soil ridge.

Government
During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.

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