Magnum Research BFR

The Magnum Research BFR is a single-action revolver manufactured by Magnum Research. Modeled after the Ruger Blackhawk, it is constructed of stainless steel and chambered for a number of powerful handgun cartridges, such as .460 S&W Magnum and .500 S&W Magnum; popular rifle chamberings, including .30-30 WCF, .444 Marlin, and .45-70 Government; and even .410 bore shotshells. Notably, the BFR platform has also served as the basis for custom caliber conversions to 19th century big game cartridges such as the .50-110 WCF and .50-90 Sharps, as well as the .500 Bushwhacker, which is currently considered to be the most powerful handgun cartridge in the world in terms of muzzle energy. The name "BFR" originally stood for “Brainerd’s First Revolver”, in reference to Brainerd, Minnesota, where the early BFRs were manufactured. Officially the acronym now stands for "Biggest, Finest Revolver", though it was rebranded for a time as the “Big Frame Revolver” after Magnum Research’s 2010 acquisition by Kahr Arms. It is sometimes referred to as the "Big Fucking Revolver", but this is a misnomer often used for humorous effect and has never been officially sanctioned by manufacturers.

Available cartridges
The BFR comes in two basic models, one with a long cylinder for larger rifle cartridges, and one with a more traditional revolver cylinder length (called "short" by Magnum Research). Some models that use identical bores, such as the .45-70 Government and .450 Marlin, can be made with two cylinders for the same gun.

The BFR revolvers were originally made by D-MAX in Springfield, South Dakota, until Magnum Research bought them out.

True Blue (1996 film)

True Blue is a 1996 British sport drama film based on the 1989 book True Blue: The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny by Daniel Topolski and Patrick Robinson. It follows the 1987 Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race and the disagreement amongst the Oxford team known as the "Oxford mutiny". For the US DVD release by Miramax, the film was retitled Miracle at Oxford.

Plot
True Blue is a film adaptation of Topolski's book of the same name. Although names and events were changed, it tells the story of the 1987 Oxford Cambridge Boat Race, from the perspective of Topolski and Macdonald. Directed by Ferdinand Fairfax, this low-budget film was made by Film4 Productions, starring Dominic West, and Josh Lucas.

The film opens with a fancied Oxford crew losing by 'almost seven lengths' to Cambridge. Macdonald and Ross (a sobriquet for the real life Chris Clark) are seen in the losing crew. The crew's various reactions are shown, and later Ross pledges to bring some American oarsman over to get one of the famous Oxford Blades.

The film cuts to the next year where the recent world champion Daniel Warren (Dan Lyons) arrives in Oxford with some other Americans. Not all are happy about the new arrivals, however, and are concerned for their seats in the boats. We then see a montage of training sequences before the Fours Head of the River Race, for which the top boat is changed at the last minute at the instigation of Warren, prompting fury from the ejected crew member. The crew goes on to finish 28th, a very unimpressive placing for a Varsity squad boat.

Topolski is then shown berating the squad, and the other coaches share concerns about the form of the athletes, particularly Ross. Topolski decides to look at the results of the Trial Eights race, which initially looks good, but is marred by a clash of blades.

The Americans later rebel against the coaches and say they will walk out if Ross is not selected. In the end none of the Americans row and Topolski goes with a less experienced crew. After initial tensions the crew comes together and trains well for the last few weeks before the race. On race day the crew wins by around four lengths.

Release
The film was not well received critically. It opened in one cinema in London on 15 November 1996 grossing £14,166 in its opening weekend, the highest per-screen average that weekend. It expanded to 108 screens a week later but only grossed £63,645, finishing in tenth place nationally and continued to perform poorly at the box office.

Woodlawn Plantation (Florida)

Woodlawn Plantation was a large plantation located in eastern Leon County, Florida, U.S., owned by Thomas Peter Chaires.

Chaires, along with his 2 brothers Green H. Chaires and Benjamin Chaires, established large plantations during the Florida Territorial Period of 1821-1845. Green Chaires would establish Evergreen Hills Plantation and Benjamin would establish Verdura Plantation.

Plantation specifics
The Leon County Florida 1860 Agricultural Census shows that the Woodlawn Plantation had the following:
 Improved Land: N/A
 Unimproved Land: N/A
 Cash value of plantation: N/A
 Cash value of farm implements/machinery: N/A
 Cash value of farm animals: N/A
 Number of slaves: N/A
 Bushels of corn: N/A

Binnian Tunnel

The Binnian Tunnel (2.5 miles long) was constructed between 1947 and 1950/51 and is located under the Mourne Mountains in County Down, Northern Ireland. The main purpose of the tunnel is to divert water from the Annalong Valley to the Silent Valley Reservoir underneath Slieve Binnian, after which the tunnel was named.

A workforce of 150 was involved in two tunnelling teams which started from opposite ends and met in the middle nearly 800m under the roof of the mountain. When the two teams met in the middle on 6 December 1950, they were only inches out. The tunnel was created using drilling and blasting techniques. The shelters for the workers can be found on Slievenaglogh.  

The tunnel was designed to carry  of water per day, be  long,  high and  wide. The tunnel was officially opened in August 1952.

Mirow

Mirow () is a town in the district of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte in southern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

Name (Etymology)
"Mir" in Slavonic languages means "peace" or "glory". The name "Mirow" was derived from "villa mirowe", translating as "location of peace".

Geography
Mirow lies in the middle of the Mecklenburg Lake District (Mecklenburgische Seenplatte) on the southern shore of Lake Mirow, which is connected to the Müritz and the Havel by a system of lakes, rivers, and canals. There are several more lakes on the territory of this municipality. The neighboring towns of Diemitz, Fleeth, Granzow, Peetsch, and Starsow were incorporated into the town in 2004 and are now part of the municipality.

Town division
The following districts belong to the town of Mirow:

In addition, the residential areas of Mirowdorf, Blankenfelde, Hohenfelde, Birkenhof, Holm, Forsthof, Weinberg, Niemannslust, Diemitzer Schleuse, Fleether Mühle, Kakeldütt, Schillersdorfer Teerofen and Hohe Brücke are parts of the town of Mirow.

History
In 1227, the Order of Saint John founded a commandry on the shore of Lake Mirow after Lord Borwin II had given them land there; the first quarter of the coat-of-arms of the town still displays the cross of the Johanniterorden (the Order of Saint John) in commemoration of that gift. In 1701, the town became part of the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. In 1919, it gained town privileges. Mirow is the birthplace of Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen consort of George III of the United Kingdom.

The baroque palace, under construction from 1749 to 1760, was designed by Christoph Julius Löwe.  It is notable for a ballroom with stucco decoration, and for the Red Salon lined with silk Chinese-style wallpaper. The English-style park of the palace includes the burial place of the last reigning Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who died in 1918. The grand-ducal tomb is situated in the Gothic Church of Saint John, which was rebuilt after its complete destruction in 1945.

Hubble–Reynolds law

The Hubble–Reynolds law models the surface brightness of elliptical galaxies as

Where  is the surface brightness at radius ,  is the central brightness, and  is the radius at which the surface brightness is diminished by a factor of 1/4. It is asymptotically similar to the De Vaucouleurs' law which is a special case of the Sersic profile for elliptical galaxies.

The law is named for the astronomers Edwin Hubble and John Henry Reynolds. It was first formulated by Reynolds in 1913 from his observations of galaxies (then still known as nebulae). It was later re-derived by Hubble in 1930 specifically in observations of elliptical galaxies.

Psou

The Psou (; ; ; ; ) is a river in the  West Caucasus, bordering the Gagra Range to the east. It flows along the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range and forms a part of the border between Georgia (Abkhazia) and Russia. Its source in the Aigra Mountain, and it flows into the Black Sea. The Psou is  long, and the drainage basin is approximately . Between the mouth of the river and the mouth of the Mzymta is a "sandy depositional foreland", which is approximately  in length and  wide.

The principal tributaries of the Psou are the Besh and the Pkhista. Between 1913 and 1955 there was a hydrological station in operation at Leselidze, roughly  upstream of the river mouth.
The Psou gained notoriety as a smuggling route out of the country, by-passing Russian controls on the border. As of 2008 it was still designated as a transboundary river which lacked an international cooperation agreement as part of the UNECE Water Convention.

Babaganewz

BabagaNewz was a full-color Jewish [values] classroom magazine that was published from Fall 2001. The print version ceased publication in 2008, and the online version was launched in early 2012.

History and profile
BabagaNewz was launched in 2001. The publication was for kids in 4th through 7th grade that presents current events, science, Torah, Israel, holidays and traditions through a Jewish lens. Every month during the year, Babaganewz, along with its Teachers' Guide and website at Babaganewz.com, focused on a timeless Jewish value that provides educational depth and personal reference for children in their formative years.  The magazine had many sections, including "Check It Out" (trends), "Kid Power" (Jewish kids doing great things), "News 'N' Views", and "Babagonuts" (puzzles). On the cover of each magazine, the Jewish month (e.g. Tishrei, Kislev, Iyar) and the Jewish value were vibrantly stated. Online activities included interviews, educational games, and virtual tours of Israel. BabagaNewz was published by The AVI CHAI Foundation in partnership with Jewish Family & Life. The Foundation also financed the magazine. Despite the similar sounding name, "Babaganewz" was not a play on the common Middle Eastern eggplant dip, though the title's actual etymology is unknown.

The print version of BabagaNewz folded in November 2008. In 2011 Jewish book seller, Behrman House based in Springfield, New Jersey, took over the website and revised the spelling of the name to have a lower case 'N.' Babaganewz.com  focused on providing resources for Jewish educators which expand the offerings of classroom materials. Under Behrman House the online version debuted as a commercial venture in early 2012. The site was segmented into the following categories; articles, games, activities, videos, e-cards, music and the teachers' section. The organization maintained a focus on Jewish values as well as Jewish holidays but they were unable to sustain profitability and abandoned the project a few years after takeover.

Valentin Blatz

Valentin Blatz (October 1, 1826 – May 26, 1894) was a German-American brewer and banker.

Biography
Valentin Blatz was born in Miltenberg, Kingdom of Bavaria, and worked at his father's brewery in his youth. In August 1848, he immigrated to America, and by 1849 had moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Blatz established a brewery next to Johann Braun's City Brewery in 1850 and merged both breweries upon Braun's death in 1852. He also married Braun's widow.

The brewery produced Milwaukee's first individually bottled beer in 1874. It incorporated as the Valentin Blatz Brewing Company in 1889 and by the 1900s was the city's third largest brewer.

He was active in many organizations such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Blatz was a freemason and member of Aurora Lodge No.30 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Blatz died in St. Paul, Minnesota on May 26, 1894, while returning home to Milwaukee from a trip to California. He was survived by a wife, three sons, and two daughters.  He is buried in a massive family mausoleum at Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee.

Federation of Korean Trade Unions

The Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU) is a national trade union center in South Korea formed in 1960. It represents the company union tendency of the South Korean labour movement, as opposed to the more militant Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU).

After the May 16 coup in 1961, the Park Chung Hee regime dissolved the General Federation of Korean Trade Unions and its affiliates. The FKTU was placed under the guidance of the military authorities.

The FKTU was the sole legal trade union center in South Korea until the KCTU was recognized in November 1999. The Korean Government previously considered the KCTU as a terrorist organisation.

The FKTU is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation.

Nike Grind

Nike Grind is a collection of recycled materials developed by Nike that is composed of pre-consumer manufacturing scraps, recycled post-consumer shoes from the Reuse-A-Shoe program, and unsellable footwear. The purpose of Nike Grind is to eliminate waste in line with the tenets of sustainable fashion practices and close the loop on Nike's product lifecycle The materials are used to make various Nike products, athletic surfaces and products for other companies. Materials recycled include rubber, foam, fiber, leather and textile blends, which are separated and ground into a wide range of granules.

Recycling Process 
Nike Grind materials are primarily composed of manufacturing scraps but also include a mixture of recycled shoes (including those that cannot be sold). Many of the recycled shoes are collected through Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program which began in the early 1990s and takes in around 1.5 million pairs annually. The program takes worn-out shoes (of any brand) that are donated by consumers often at Nike retail stores. After donation, the shoes are shipped to one of two recycling facilities in the United States or Belgium where they are then processed into Nike Grind materials.

Three different types of material are taken from each shoe: rubber from the outsole, foam from the midsole and fabric from the upper. Then, the separated materials of rubber, foam, fiber, leather, and textile blends are ground into granules that can be reconstituted as several different products and materials.

Uses
Nike Grind materials are incorporated into some Nike products including footwear, apparel, and the yarn that composes them. These materials are also used in athletic and play surfaces like running tracks, turf fields, playground surfaces, courts, weight room flooring, and carpet underlay. Since its inception, Nike Grind has been used in over 1 billion square feet of sports surfaces in total.

The first synthetic turf soccer field installed with Nike Grind rubber was at Douglas Park. That surface was donated by Nike and the U.S. Soccer Foundation. Nike Grind has since been incorporated into numerous athletic surfaces throughout the world, including the court at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, training facilities at Yankee Stadium in New York, and the track at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England, among others.

Additionally, using Nike Grind materials in a building project may help gain points toward obtaining LEED certification, depending on how much is incorporated and what other sustainable materials are used.

Chirpan

Chirpan (, )  is a town on the Tekirska River in Stara Zagora Province of south-central Bulgaria. It is the administrative centre of the homonymous Chirpan Municipality. As of 2021, the town had a population of 13,391 down from 15,109 in 2013.

Chirpan is located north of the Maritsa River on the Chirpan highlands, south-east of the Sredna Gora mountains. The town is a centre for wineries and viticulture.

History
The modern town is the successor of the Ancient Roman settlement of Sherampol and re-emerged in the beginning of the 15th century, its current name likely being derived from the Roman one. Upon his return from the Council of Sardica, Saint Athanasius established the first Christian monastery in Europe circa 344 near modern-day Chirpan in Bulgaria.

There has been extensive archaeological excavation at the Karasura (Carasura) site. During the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, Chirpan () was known for its craftsmen and agriculture. The town suffered badly from an earthquake on 18 April 1928.

Chirpan was the birthplace of Ottoman Turkish soldier Abdülkerim Nadir Pasha, and the Bulgarian poet Peyo Yavorov, whose native house is now a museum. Chirpan was the home of painter George Danchov. His house in the centre of the town is an excellent example of Bulgarian National Revival architecture.

Climate

Economy
There are 18,859 (2021) people in the municipality, two thirds of whom live in the town. 53% of the land is in cultivation, with major crops from wheat, sunflowers, cotton, grapes, and fruit trees. There is a 139 hectare Natura 2000 Special Protection Area for preservation of avian habitat along the Tekirska River.

Honour
Chirpan Peak on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after Chirpan.

Lake People Park

Lake People Park is a  park at 3070 S. Bradford Street in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, just south of the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. and Rainier Avenue S. In 2003, the land was donated to the Seattle Parks Foundation by Monte Powell, a developer who was responsible for much of the newer construction in the neighborhood. He decided to make the donation after attending a presentation on community-established parks.

The property is made up of a flat upper area that drops off into a steep hill slope.  Upon its donation, the lot was overgrown with blackberries, ivy, and other invasive plants. Neighbors of the park formed the Friends of Goat Hill and worked in partnership with Seattle Parks Foundation to clear the land and raise sufficient funds for landscaping, footpaths, park benches, boulders for informal seating, picnic tables, and interpretive signage. The completed park was dedicated in spring 2005, and for the three years following, maintenance was overseen by Seattle Parks Foundation. The park was then turned over to Seattle Parks and Recreation for ongoing stewardship.

"Lake People" () was the name the local Indigenous people, now considered a subgroup of the Duwamish or Muckleshoot, historically used to refer to themselves.

Ornithomimoides

Ornithomimoides ("bird mimic-like") is a dubious genus of theropod dinosaur, from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian stage, sometime between 70 and 66 mya) Lameta Formation of India. Two species have been identified, the type species O. mobilis and O. barasimlensis, were named by von Huene in 1932 and were described by Matley in 1933 though they are known only from isolated vertebrae. O. barasimlensis is known from five dorsal vertebrae, and O. mobilis from four smaller vertebrae, found at the same location. It is possible that, based on two reviews, published in 1999 and 2004 respectively, Ornithomimoides may have been an abelisaur, which may have measured between  and  in length.

Acropolis Palaiokastro

The Acropolis of ancient Methana (also known as Acropolis Paliokastro, ) is located 1 km from the town of Megalochori in the volcanic peninsula of Methana.

History
It was first built in the Mycenaean times. It was rebuilt and destroyed later during the Roman and the Byzantine times.

Construction
It was built from andesite and dacite rocks from the volcanic mountain nearby. The small acropolis is located on a small lava dome.

Significance
Around the acropolis, Pausanias described the ancient market (Agorá) and a sanctuary of Isis and Hermes. Remains of the ancient town Methana can be found around the Paliocastro and some Roman columns in front of the Agios Nikolaos chapel located nearby.

Shrugged

Shrugged is a comic series published by Aspen MLT, publishers of Soulfire and Fathom. It was written by Aspen founder Michael Turner. It was also contributed by then vice president Frank Mastromauro and drawn by Aspen artist Micah Gunnell.

Story
The story follows a teenager named Theo, who possesses two entities in his life, Ange and Dev, who try to influence him at every decision. They both come from an alternate dimension called Perspecta, where a citizen from each "side" is assigned to a human being in our dimension. Angelia is Theo's representative from Elysia and Devonshire is the representative from Nefario, their character designs fitting the typical stereotypes of an "Angel" and a "Devil".

Having begun in May 2006, Shrugged faced ongoing delays due to co-creator Michael Turner's struggle with cancer. Turner died in mid-2008, with Shrugged completing its eight-issue run in January 2009. It was collected in trade paperback in late February-early March 2009.

Polytechnic University of Bari

The Polytechnic University of Bari () is a university located in Bari, Italy. It was founded in 1990 and it is organized in 5 Departments.

In 2018, around 10,072 students were enrolled. In 2018, the academic staff amounted to 275 people.

History and structure
The Polytechnic University of Bari was established with Italian law “Legge n. 245” of 7 August 1990. It is the youngest among the Italian polytechnic universities (the other two being Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino). Even though other Italian universities also incorporate engineering and science faculties, Italian polytechnic universities are focused on technological faculties and subjects.

Following the reform initiated with the Italian law Legge n. 240 of 2010 and successive modifications, the Polytechnic University of Bari has organized its structure prominently based on departments with an aggregation into 5 big departments, most of which divided into branches:
Department of Electric Engineering and Computer Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Management
Department of Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Construction Engineering and Chemistry
Department of Architecture
Department of Physics (named after Michelangelo Merlin)

The Headquarters
Most of the structures, classrooms, halls and departments are located inside the campus "Ernesto Quagliariello" in Bari. It is shared with the University of Bari (only for scientific subjects), and it is located close to via Orabona. In the nearby via Amendola are the rector's office and the administrative offices for enrollment and similar inquiries. In Bari's Japigia quarter are located most of the offices and laboratories of the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Management.

The Polytechnic University of Bari is also present in other two separate branches, in Foggia and Taranto (where "Centro Interdipartimentale Magna Grecia" is located).

Cape Split

Cape Split is a headland located on the Bay of Fundy coast of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.  The Battle off Cape Split happened during the American Revolution.

Cape Split is located in Kings County and is a continuation of the North Mountain range, which is made of tholeiitic basalt. The cape separates the main part of the Bay of Fundy from the Minas Basin, a sub-basin to the east.

The cape itself is 7 km (4 mi) long and ranges between several kilometres to several dozen metres in width.  Both sides of the headland end in high cliffs overlooking treacherous tidal currents in the Minas Channel.

Privately owned until recently, the property has now been sold to the Government of Nova Scotia and is being transformed into a provincial park. Its current status is that of a Reserve Park of 427 hectares.  A popular hiking trail has existed for decades on Cape Split, taking approximately 2 to 2.5 hours each way to the tip of the headland. Most of the Cape is heavily forested, but the tip of the peninsula is a meadow, providing excellent long-distance views in good weather.

The cliffs at Cape Split are actively eroding and potentially dangerous. The height of the cliffs is over  and a fall could be fatal. There are several features that appear to be trails, but are actually lines of erosion that lead to steep edges with loose soil and rocks underfoot. Rescue services have been called several times in the past years and are highlighting the need for additional warning signs.

Euan Henderson (snooker player)

Euan Henderson (born 30 June 1967) is a retired Scottish professional snooker player.

Career
In his twelve-year professional career he reached only one ranking final, in the 1996 Grand Prix, albeit without beating any of the game's established leading players. His 6–3 semi-final win over the Welsh veteran Mark Bennett (who had knocked out several of the game's big names – including Chris Small, Peter Ebdon, Steve Davis and Tony Drago en route to the semi-final stage) did see him take out that tournament's in-form player. However, Mark Williams proved too strong for Henderson in the final. Henderson took the opening frame and also led 3–2 at one point, but lost 9–5 to Williams. This tournament, besides having two surprise semi-finalists in Henderson and Bennett, made headlines because many of the pre-tournament favourites (including the reigning world champion and world No.1 Stephen Hendry, Alan McManus, Peter Ebdon and Nigel Bond) were all knocked out in the first round.

In the 1994 Grand Prix competition he had his first high-profile victory, beating Jimmy White to reach the last 16.

After retiring from snooker in 2003, Henderson became a police officer.
