Leeches!

Leeches! is a 2003 American direct-to-video horror film directed by David DeCoteau and starring Matthew Twining, Josh Henderson,  Stacey Nelson and Alexandra Westmore.

Plot
Members of a college swim team take anabolic steroids to enhance their performance. While on a daytrip to a local lake, a couple of the members pick up some leeches, which feed on the steroids in their blood. The leeches end up washed down a shower drain, where they grow to enormous size and return for more feedings.

Following the deaths of several members of the team and a college administrator, the few surviving team members and one of their girlfriends hatch a plan to kill off the monster leeches. They will draw them to the campus swimming pool by having one of the swimmers act as bait. Then they'll electrify the pool, electrocuting the leeches. Tragically, the team coach, who's been infected by a leech, attacks them, delaying the electrification just long enough to allow the leeches to kill one last swimmer. Finally the coach is subdued and the switch is thrown, frying the leeches.

As the film ends, a surviving swim team member, in true mad scientist fashion, is revealed to have had a hand in creating the leeches and is shown to have breeding stock left.

Sample Road

Sample Road, mostly signed as State Road 834 (SR 834),  is a  east–west commuter highway serving northern Broward County, Florida.  It begins at an interchange with the Sawgrass Expressway in Coral Springs and ends at North Federal Highway (US 1) at the city limits boundary between Pompano Beach and Lighthouse Point. Eastbound travelers overshooting the SR 834 terminus find themselves on a  36th Street in Lighthouse Point, which dead-ends at a canal cut for the Intracoastal Waterway.

The westernmost  of Sample Road are designated, but not signed, as County Road 834.

Route description

Like most major east-west throughways in Coral Springs, SR 834 begins at the Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869). The road heads east  through primarily residential zones before its first major intersection with University Drive. After passing University Drive, SR 834 passes through more residential zones, with Coral Springs High School located  east of the intersection.

SR 834 forms an interchange with US 441 (SR 7) where the city limits of Coral Springs, Margate, and Coconut Creek intersect. After the interchange, SR 834 forms the border between Margate and Coconut Creek for  before completely entering Coconut Creek. The road then heads east, bisecting Tradewinds Park before its interchange with Florida's Turnpike.

After passing the Turnpike, SR 834 forms the northern border of Pompano Beach, and after intersecting Powerline Road, it also forms the southern border of Deerfield Beach. SR 834's next major intersection is with Interstate 95.

SR 834 has one more intersection with North Dixie Highway before the state road designation ends at its intersection with North Federal Highway. East of Federal Highway, the road continues east for about a mile before ending just before the Intracoastal Waterway.

History
Sample Road was for several years designated as S-834, part of the Florida secondary highway system.  In the 1980s, most secondary routes were given to the counties, but 834 was promoted to a primary route.  Subsequently, the designation of the former primary SR 834 in Dade County was reassigned to the State Road 948 designation.

Sample Road is also mentioned in the hidden track of Nothing Gold Can Stay (album) by Coral Springs natives New Found Glory.

Alp Er Tunga

Alp Er Tunga or Alp Er Tonğa (Alp  "brave, hero, conqueror, warrior", Er "man, male, soldier, Tom", Tonğa "Siberian tiger") is a mythical Turkic hero who was mentioned in Mahmud al-Kashgari's Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk, Yusuf Balasaguni's Kutadgu Bilig and in the Vatican manuscript of Oghuznama by an unknown writer.

In Turkic literature he is considered to be the same character as Afrasiab in the Persian Epic Shahnameh. He is sometimes mentioned as a khan of Saka (Scythia).

The Karakhanids claimed to have descended from Alper Tonga.

Rally of Forces for Change

The Rally of Forces for Change (in French: Rassemblement des forces pour le changement or RFC), formerly the Rally of Democratic Forces (in French: Rassemblement des Forces Démocratiques or RaFD) is a Chadian rebel group led by Timane Erdimi. It is currently allied to the United Front for Democratic Change rebel group and both were dedicated to overthrowing Erdimi's uncle, Chadian President Idriss Déby and his administration. As of May 1, 2006, RFC has a significant presence in the cities of Guéréda, Tissi and Adré. The 12,000 troops that make up the RFC were expected to disrupt the 2006 presidential elections, but they did not, and President Déby returned to power.

September 2006 government offensive
On September 19, 2006, the Government of Chad began a campaign involving 3,000 against the RFC, according to the Military of Chad. The troops attacked RFC rebels at the Hadjer Marfaine area bordering Sudan, while simultaneously attacking other groups within the UFDC at Moudeina, and Aram Kolle. Mahamat Inee, RFC spokesperson, said, "We were attacked by two columns of government troops on 19 September, but we repelled them." Inee said the RFC took 43 government soldiers prisoner, and seized 40 jeeps and trucks and two tanks. He confirmed news reports that French Mirage fighter jets stationed in Abeche made surveillance runs over the RFC's position. Timane Edrimi warned that "all French citizens, military or civil, that fall into the hands of our combatants will be considered like mercenaries and treated accordingly."

Ora (currency)

The Ora (symbol:Φ, ) is the local currency of Orania, an Afrikaner whites-only town in South Africa first issued in April 2004. It is pegged at par with the South African rand. The name, recalling that of the town where it circulates, derives from Latin aurum, meaning "gold". The currency is not sanctioned by the South African Reserve Bank.

History
The idea of the Ora originated in 2002, when Professor Johan van Zyl argued that a community that intended to empower itself should have access to as many instruments as possible, including its own currency. The first notes issued in April 2004 to provide an internal currency for Orania as part of its goal to create an independent Afrikaner state known as a Volkstaat. Before its launch, the South African Reserve Bank cautioned that all items produced could not resemble Rand notes, under South African law.

It is printed in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Ora. The 10 Ora note depicts Afrikaner history, the 20 Ora notes Afrikaner art; the 50 Ora notes Afrikaner culture; and the 100 Ora note Orania itself. Each note also advertises a local business.

To encourage its use, some stores in Orania offer a 5% discount for items purchased in Ora. The local banking institution, the Orania Spaar- en Kredietkoöperatief, is in charge of the initiative. Rands can be exchanged at this bank for Ora at par. The bank profits from this due to gaining interest on the Rand obtained. The initiative is not supported by the South African Reserve Bank.

The use of the Ora as a payment method also has the effect of discouraging theft, as it can only be used within Orania. About R400,000 to R580,000 worth of Ora were in circulation by 2011. New notes are printed every three years to replace the ones worn out by use.

dOra

In May 2021, Orania released the first implementation of the so-called dOra. The dOra is a digital copy of the Ora with added benefits, such as electronic payments. The dOra will not replace physical notes, but supplement those that already exist. Additionally, unlike the Ora, the dOra will not have an expiry date. The Orania Technology Group, a local based IT association, lead the development of the digitization of the Ora.

Loiter (aeronautics)

In aeronautics and aviation, loiter is the phase of flight  consisting of flying over some small region.  

In general aviation, the loiter phase generally occurs at the end of the flight, when the plane is waiting for clearance to land.

In military flights, such as aerial reconnaissance or ground-attack aircraft, the loiter phase is the time that the aircraft has over a target. Cruise is the time period the aircraft travels to the target and returns after the loiter.

In astronautics, the loiter phase of spacecraft used for human spaceflight may be as long as six months, as is the case for Soyuz spacecraft which remain docked while expedition crewmembers reside aboard the International Space Station.

Endurance

The endurance of the aircraft during the loiter phase is often calculated using the Breguet formula:

where:
  is the endurance (dimensions of Time)
  is the Specific Fuel Consumption (dimensions of 1/Time)
  is the total lift force on the aircraft
  is the total drag force on the aircraft
  is the weight of the aircraft at the start of the phase
  is the weight of the aircraft at the end of the phase

Saint Donatus Catholic Church

Saint Donatus Catholic Church is a parish of the Archdiocese of Dubuque located in the Jackson County, Iowa community of St. Donatus.  The patron of the parish and the town is Saint Donatus of Muenstereifel, whose cultus is popular in Luxembourg and the Rhineland.  The parish complex includes a church building, rectory, chapel and cemetery.  They are all contributing properties in the Village of St. Donatus Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Description
The original church building, modeled after St. Boniface Church in New Vienna,  was completed in 1858.  It was destroyed in a fire on November 24, 1907.  The exterior stone walls survived, and were used to build the present church. It was completed in 1908. The stone for the bell tower was quarried from the nearby bluffs.  It is capped by a wooden steeple. There is little in the way of exterior ornamentation. The exterior stone walls have been covered with a coating of cement and lime.  The parish cemetery is located behind the church.  Some of the earlier graves are marked by elaborate iron crosses. Some of the early stone headstones were made in Dubuque, while others were created by 0. Wenzler of Milwaukee.  The rectory, located next to the church, is a contemporary of the original church.  It was built of stone that was quarried nearby and covered with light yellow/brown stucco.  It is capped with a hip roof that features cross gabled dormer windows.  The moderate pitch of the roof and the lack of eaves are typical of traditional Luxembourg architecture.   
 
The parish is known for its outdoor Stations of the Cross located on the hill behind the church.  They were constructed in 1861 under the direction of the Rev. J. Michael Flammang, and may be one of the first developed in the United States.  Each of the fourteen stations are , and are placed in open, arched entrances and gabled roofs. They are spaced at intervals of about  along a dirt footpath that winds its way to the top of the bluff and the Pieta Chapel. During Holy Week the church sponsors a procession through the outdoor stations to the small chapel at the top of this hill.  The chapel is modeled after the Chapel du Bildchen near Vianden, Luxembourg.  The simple cut-stone structure was completed in 1885. The exterior stone has been left bare, and has little ornamentation.  A simple wooden bell tower is located above the front gable.

Killman Zoo

Killman Zoo is a privately owned zoo approximately  north of Caledonia in Haldimand County, Ontario, Canada.

History 
Killman Zoo was founded by the wildlife artist Murray Killman. Murray obtained his first big cat, a cougar named Maggie, in 1979, who became the subject of many paintings. Throughout the 1980s, Murray acquired more big cats, and numerous enclosures were built to house them. Murray's property soon became known as Killman's Wildlife Sanctuary. In 1982, Murray's son, Mark, began giving tours of the property by appointment. By 1987, the idea came about to convert Killman's Wildlife Sanctuary into a zoo open to the public. Killman Zoo officially opened on April 1, 1988. Since 1988, the zoo has continued to expand. As of 2020, the zoo spanned 33 acres and housed animals of 45 different species.

Overview
This rural zoo is located  east of Highway 6 at 237 Unity Road East. It is a privately owned and operated zoo using  of trails on a property spanning . There are gift shops and picnic facilities; which allow guests to eat pre-packaged food at the zoo. Tamer animals like dwarf goats and deer can be petted by people of all ages at the special petting zoo portion of the attraction. People with wheelchairs are able to access the sights with wheelchair-accessible trails.

The Killman family that operates the zoo are descended from the Seneca, Onondaga and Mohawk Tribes of the Canadian First Nations. An adult ticket costs $18.50 while a child's ticket costs $10.50. The zoo is an ongoing project and expansion is commonly taking place.

There are a wide range of animals including lemurs, porcupines, coyotes, wolves, birds of prey, bear and approximately 30 exotic cats. The cats make up a large portion of the zoo including lions, tigers, jaguars, lynx, bobcats and cougars. You can get as close to 5 feet to these animals.

In 2022, the Killman Zoo, along with ten other Ontario zoos, was named in report by the Canadian branch of the non-profit group World Animal Protection. The report, submitted to the Provincial Animal Welfare Services (a government body tasked with overseeing animal welfare laws in Ontario), mainly raised concern about enclosure size, and lack of space for big cats to remove themselves from public view. Owners Joanne and Mark Killman, in an interview with the Hamilton Spectator, affirmed that the welfare of their animals is a top priority, and explained that while the zoo is continually working to improve enclosures, the budget must prioritize the animals' medical costs. The two also stated that the zoo is regularly licensed and inspected by the Provincial Animal Welfare Services.

When Bad Things Happen to Good People

When Bad Things Happen to Good People () is a 1981 book by Harold Kushner, a Conservative rabbi.  Kushner addresses in the book one of the principal problems of theodicy, the conundrum of why, if the universe was created and is governed by a God who is of a good and loving nature, there is nonetheless so much suffering and pain in it—essentially, the evidential problem of evil. The book argues for theistic finitism. Kushner proposes a finite God solution to the problem of evil. God is benevolent but not all-powerful to prevent evil. 

Rabbi Kushner's book was a New York Times bestseller for many months in the non-fiction category. It has been translated into at least a dozen languages.

Thesis
Kushner seeks to offer comfort to grieving people. His answer to the philosophical problem is that God does his best and is with people in their suffering, but is not fully able to prevent it.

Kushner's beliefs, which seem to question God's omnipotence, have been criticized by some conservative scholars associated with Orthodox Judaism as well as evangelical Christianity.

Atheist philosopher Michael Martin has disputed Kushner's finite God theodicy.

Recognition
New York Times bestseller, "nonfiction"

CHTN-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, at 100.3 FM with a classic hits format branded as Ocean 100. The station is owned by the Stingray Group which also owns sister station CKQK-FM. CHTN's studios & offices are located at 176 Great George Street in Downtown Charlottetown.

The station was launched on December 25, 1974, originally broadcasting from a bungalow on North River Road at 1190 AM before moving to 720 which was approved in 1987  to eliminate the nighttime interference from WOWO, out of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

In the early 1990s, Newcap entered into a shared-facilities partnership with Maritime Broadcasting System Ltd, the owner of the competing CFCY and CHLQ-FM. Part of the agreement with MBS saw CHTN move to exclusively offer a popular oldies format. CHTN consolidated its broadcasting facilities with MBS for several years at 141 Kent St., and later on the Charlottetown waterfront, until 2005 when the federal regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), ordered the broadcasters to operate separately. This precipitated a move by Newcap to surrender its AM licence and apply for its current FM frequency of 100.3, as well as open a new sister station, CKQK-FM.

CHTN officially moved to its current frequency and format on July 5, 2006 at 8:05 a.m. It was simulcast on its AM frequency for three months before the AM transmitter was shut down. The first song played was "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones. The broadcast staff at the time were; Kirk & Kerri-Wynne (Mornings), Corey Tremere (mid-days), Gerard Murphy (Afternoons) and Gregg MacEwen (Evenings).

Transmitters
An application to add rebroadcasters at Elmira and St. Edward was approved by the CRTC on January 19, 2009. The extender transmitters went on the air March 2, 2010. A free celebration pancake breakfast, with the morning show hosts on location in Tignish and Souris took place on Friday, March 5, 2010.

Alien Olympics 2044 AD

Alien Olympics 2044 AD is a futuristic sports video game published by Ocean Software in 1994.

Summary

In this video game, extraterrestrials perform unorthodox Olympic-like events in the year 2044. The player gets to control one of these extraterrestrials; the player can choose up to eight different species. For example, there is a caterpillar-like alien that is very good at shooting events but terrible at racing events.

Lighter gravity allows the athletes to perform better than they would on the planet Earth. The list of possible events include: 100 Qbits Sprint, Laser Leaping, Big Bounce, Laser Skeet, 200 Qbits Splurge, Lunge Leap Splat, Toxophilly, Flob Flop, Sabre Sling, Survival, Alien Hurl, Laser Skeet 2, Jetpack Tag, Lizard Leap, and Wall Jumping.

This game is simply known as Alien Olympics in Europe. The Game Boy version explains the event to the player prior to being allowed to play it. When the game is over, the final score is displayed (at least in the Game Boy version).

American Journal of Mathematics

The American Journal of Mathematics is a bimonthly mathematics journal published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.

History 
The American Journal of Mathematics is the oldest continuously published mathematical journal in the United States, established in 1878 at the Johns Hopkins University by James Joseph Sylvester, an English-born mathematician who also served as the journal's editor-in-chief from its inception through early 1884. Initially W. E. Story was associate editor in charge; he was replaced by Thomas Craig in 1880. For volume 7 Simon Newcomb became chief editor with Craig managing until 1894. Then with volume 16 it was "Edited by Thomas Craig with the Co-operation of Simon Newcomb" until 1898.

Other notable mathematicians who have served as editors or editorial associates of the journal include Frank Morley, Oscar Zariski, Lars Ahlfors, Hermann Weyl, Wei-Liang Chow, S. S. Chern, André Weil, Harish-Chandra, Jean Dieudonné, Henri Cartan, Stephen Smale, Jun-Ichi Igusa, and Joseph A. Shalika.

Fields medalist Cédric Villani has speculated that "the most famous article in its long history" may be a 1958 paper by John Nash, "Continuity of solutions of parabolic and elliptic equations".

Scope and impact factor 
The American Journal of Mathematics is a general-interest (i.e., non-specialized) mathematics journal covering all the major areas of contemporary mathematics.  According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2009 impact factor is 1.337, ranking it 22nd out of 255 journals in the category "Mathematics".

Editors 
As of June, 2012, the editors are  Christopher D. Sogge, editor-in-chief (Johns Hopkins University), William Minicozzi II (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Freydoon Shahidi (Purdue University), and Vyacheslav Shokurov (The Johns Hopkins University).

Small Soldiers (video game)

Small Soldiers is an action video game, based on the film of the same name. Unrelated games were released for the PC and Game Boy. Unlike 1998 film, this game's storyline is set in an exaggerated fantasy world and imaginary world as opposed to the characters being made out of toys living in real world.

Gameplay

Single-player
The Commando Elite are trying to eliminate the Gorgonites and destroy their home planet Gorgon. Players take the role of Archer, as he battles against the game's antagonist, Chip Hazard. The player is equipped with a rapid-fire crossbow, which can receive new ammunition types and which has several accuracies and strengths. Players can use turrets and vehicles.

Multiplayer
In multiplayer mode, players can play as either Archer or Chip Hazard. The gameplay is the same as single-player. For Chip Hazard his default weapon is a rapid-fire pistol, which can receive new ammunition types.

There are two game modes in multiplayer mode; frag mode where a player must score five kills before the other player does so and flag mode; where a player must return all three flags to their base.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the game was composed by Michael Giacchino.

Reception

Game Informer gave the game an overall score of 7.25 out of 10, praising the challenging action and easy puzzles but criticizing the gameplay controls, especially when the player gets stuck on invisible barriers concluding it is "fun, but it's nothing to get excited about."

Brown eared pheasant

The brown eared pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum) is a large, 96– to 100-cm-long, dark brown pheasant endemic to the mountain forests of northeastern China (Shanxi and nearby provinces). The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1863. It has stiff white ear coverts behind the eyes, which look like a moustache. The crown is black with red bare facial skin and its tail of 22 elongated, white feathers is curved, loose and dark-tipped. Both sexes are similar in plumage.

The rarest member in the genus Crossoptilon, its diet consists mainly of roots, bulbs, and plant matter. The female lays five to eight large, pale stone green eggs, which take 28 days to hatch.

Due to isolated populations, deforestation, and poaching (despite being a protected species), the brown eared pheasant is evaluated as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix I of CITES.

Kingdom Crusade

Kingdom Crusade (known as The Legend of Prince Valiant  in Europe) is a Game Boy strategy video game released in 1991 in the PAL regions and 1992 in North America.

Summary

The game takes places during a hypothetical apocalyptic battle between a dark, evil army and a light, good army. Even the king and queen of each respective kingdom are expected to contribute to combat duty; which was expected of kings in the Middle Ages but not of most queens.

Even though this game is medieval in nature, it does not depict any cultures of Medieval Europe against each other. Players can take either side and both kingdom's units are of equal strength to each other. The units in the game correspond to Western high fantasy (i.e., paladins instead of samurai). All fighting is done in an arcade manner (real-time with button mashing) rather than a typical manner of a strategy or role-playing game (either turn-based or real-time without button mashing).

Each player must either destroy all of the opponent's units or capture all the castles in order to defeat the opponent and win the game. Winning results in a celebration screen while losing is the equivalent to a game over.

Reception
Allgame gave this video game a score of 2.5 points out of a possible 5 in their overview. Power Unlimited gave the game a score of 62% writing: "The idea behind Prince Valiant is nice. Some strategy, mixed with the knightly feel. But in practice, this rarely happens. It is unclear what exactly should be done, and there is far too little action."
