Description

Like many tropical butterflies they show different wet- and dry-season forms.

Wet-season form

Male upperside is vinaceous (colour of red wine) brown, the veins ochraceous brown. Forewings and hindwings crossed by four series of minute white spots, the postdiscal series very often obscure, each spot bordered inwardly by a more or less elongate black spot; a terminal very slender black line; cilia alternately black and white. Underside is bright ochraceous brown, the veins conspicuously paler, the white black-bordered spots as on the upperside but larger, more clearly defined and prominent. Antennae brown ringed with white; club black, ochraceous at apex; head, thorax and abdomen concolorous with the wings; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen slightly paler than the wings.

Dry-season form

Male upperside has the ground colour darker than in the wet-season form; the spots are smaller and duller in colour. On the forewing the postdiscal series of spots often obsolescent except the spots in interspaces 3, 6 and 8, the latter two very large and prominent; sub-terminal series of spots also often obsolescent. The veins on both forewings and hindwings not paler than the ground colour. Underside is similar to the underside in the wet-season form, but the ground colour a shade darker; the veins not conspicuously paler; the white spots as in the wet-season form, except the postdiscal and subterminal series on the forewing, which are as on the upperside, the anterior large white spots of the postdiscal series being very prominent; the inner black bordering to the white spots much smaller than in the wet-season form. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the wet-season form.

Females have the upper and undersides similar to those of the wet-season form, but the ground colour brighter and paler; markings also similar, but the black bordering to the white spots less prominent.

Larva
 
Larva feeds on Maesa species (Maesa chisia, Maesa montana and Maesa indica).

Plot summary
The novel's plot revolves around the life and times of the fictional character Paul Tallard and this character's struggles in reconciling the differences between his English and French Canadian identities.

Recognition and adaptations
Two Solitudes was selected as one of the five novels to be discussed in the 2013 Canada Reads "battle of the books", broadcast by CBC Radio. It was defended by Canadian actor Jay Baruchel but it lost to Lisa Moore's February.

In 1978 it was made into a motion picture, written and directed by Lionel Chetwynd.

Wanna Love You Girl

"Wanna Love You Girl" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Robin Thicke featuring fellow American musician Pharrell Williams as the lead single from his second album The Evolution of Robin Thicke (2006).

There is also a remix for the song, that features two new verses from American rapper Busta Rhymes.

Conception
Pharrell was at first reluctant to record with Thicke, feeling the then forthcoming album was good enough on its own telling Vibe, "I thought his album was so dope already. I didn't think it was necessary." and stating to MTV, "I felt like it didn't need anything from me,[...]The quality, the musicality, it's just upper-echelon." Label executive Jimmy Iovine advocated the pairing, believing it would be a favorable association for Thicke in the eyes of an audience not yet familiar with his work. With Iovine's support, the two agreed to go forward with the collaboration.

Chart performance
The single was officially released August 9, 2005. While expected to be a big hit, it failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and only peaked at No. 65 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Remix
Although the connection with Pharrell did not help propel the single to great chart success as anticipated, it did become a minor hit on urban radio and a popular song in clubs. It was at a club in Miami that it first caught the ear of Busta Rhymes, who was impressed by the people's frenzied reaction to it when it was played. Shortly after, Busta acquired the instrumental and recorded his own verses. The remix began appearing on mixtapes and generated enough interest that Thicke, Busta Rhymes, and Spliff Star went on to shoot an official music video for the remix which was released in the summer of 2006.

Music video

Produced by: Tracey Cuesta

The video was filmed in August 2005 in the Dominican Republic. This video was shot with mostly natural lighting using mirrors and bounce boards as the locations were so remote that there were no cables available long enough to connect to the generator. Some of the models were brought from Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, and two were local models from the Dominican Republic. This video was commissioned by Interscope for Star Trak. Pharrell was flown into the area of the location and then brought by boat to the beach as the roads were too dangerous for access after a hard rain the night before his performance shot. Thicke was also brought by boat to the beach locations and had to be driven in by 4WD to the waterfalls.

Description

Termen of hindwing has a long tail at apex of vein 4, the portion above it prominently emarginate. Upperside is brown varying in tint, but generally paler in the female than in the male. Forewing with a comparatively broad oblique white band from middle of costa to near apex of vein 1 above the tornal angle, narrowed posteriorly; beyond this an ill-defined narrow, somewhat more erect, pale dusky-white band from costa to dorsal margin, curving slightly round the tornal termination of the inner broader band; an inner and an outer slender abbreviated subterminal line extending in the female from vein 1 to vein 4, shorter in the male. Hindwing has a postdiscal sinuous, ill-defined, broad transverse band, paler than the ground colour, bordered on the inner and outer sides by very obscure lunular dull whitish lines, followed by two slender pure white subterminal broken lines that in interspaces 4 and 5 are bordered inwardly by large jet-black spots; these spots divided by a conspicuous Ferruginous line along vein 5; the cilia and apex of tail, and in some specimens the apex of wing and the costal margin, narrowly snow-white. Underside similar, with similar markings, but the ground colour much paler, especially on the basal halves of the wings, the markings more clearly defined and broader; on the hindwing the white lines bordering the post-discal broad band have a purplish tinge, and in interspace 1 there are two inner obscure subterminal triangular black spots. Antennae brown, ringed with white; head, thorax and abdomen pale brown; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen more or less whitish.

Mike Russell (billiards player)

Mike Russell (born 3 June 1969 in Middlesbrough, England), is a twelve-time WPBSA World Champion in the game of English billiards. He also has six IBSF World Billiards Championship titles standing to his name.

He has been described as an "archrival" of India's prodigy, Geet Sethi, an eight-time World Champion, and each of them had defeated the other for the title, with Russell victorious in 1996, and Sethi the winner in 1998, as of their next encounter at the 2007 event. Both scored two  apiece, but Russell knocked Sethi out in the semi-finals, 1835–1231, (65.5 vs. 45.6 average). Russell went on to win the title for the ninth time and a £6,000 prize, solidly beating Chris Shutt, 2166–1710 (52.8 vs. 42.8 avg.), with four double and four triple centuries to Shutt's four and none, respectively.

At the IBSF World Billiards Championships 2010, Russell not only claimed the 150up- and time-format title,  recorded a break of 1137 points in the time-format final.
Even though the amateur rules applied in this tournament do not include the "Baulk line rule" used in professional events, he is only the fourth player ever to score a break of over 1000 in an official match under modern rules.

Personal life

He has a son who is named Luke Russell who was born on 21 July 1996. He studied in England then shifted to India to the British International School and has now moved back to England. He has an elder son named Karl who is 21 years old and is a former junior MMA champion. He is married to Ayesh Russell since 2010 and they reside in Qatar.

Mike Russell moved to Qatar where he acts as trainer for the QBSF (Qatar Billiards and Snooker Federation) since 2007.

Maravar

Maravar (also known as Maravan and Marava) are a Tamil community in the state of Tamil Nadu. These people are one of the three branches of the Mukkulathor confederacy. Members of the Maravar community often use the honorific title Thevar. They are classified as an Other Backward Class or a Denotified Tribe in Tamil Nadu, depending on the district.

The Sethupathi rulers of the erstwhile Ramnad kingdom were from this community. The Maravar community, along with the Kallars, had a reputation for thieving and robbery from as early as the medieval period.

Etymology
The term Maravar has diverse proposed etymologies; it may come simply from a Tamil word maram, meaning such things as vice and ''murder. or a term meaning "bravery".

Social status

The Maravars were considered as Shudras and were free to worship in Hindu temples. According to Pamela G, Price, the Maravar were warriors who were in some cases zamindars. During the British colonial era, the Maravars were sometimes recorded as Kshatriyas by the legal officers involved in Zamindari litigation proceedings but more often they classified as Shudras. Maravars were the only ruling castes of Tamil origin in Tamil Nadu. The zamins of Singampatti, Urkadu, Nerkattanseval, Thalavankottai, all ruled by members of Maravar caste. Occasionally the Setupathis had to respond to the charge they were not ritually pure.

During the formation of Tamilaham, the Maravars were brought in as socially outcast tribes or traditionally as lowest entrants into the shudra category. The Maravas to this day are feared as a thieving tribe and are an ostracised group in Tirunelveli region.

Agamudayar

Agamudayar (otherwise Agamudaiyar, Akamudayar, Agamudayan) are a Tamil community found in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. In Southern parts of Tamil Nadu, they are considered as one of the three castes which make up the Thevar or Mukkulathor community. Agamudayars were warrior class of people and held high ranks in the South Indian Kingdoms. With the advent of the British in TamilNadu, they lost their minor Kingdoms such as Sivaganga(Marudhu Pandiyar).According to the anthropologist Zoe E Headley, the three communities (Agamudayar, Kallar and Maravar) are the "numerically dominant rural backward castes of the southern districts of Tamil Nadu". Agamudayars are listed in the national commission of backward caste lists for Tamil Nadu. Agamudayars are dominant landlords and hold numerous wealth. They organise many businesses.

Etymology

The term Agamudayar is a Tamil word meaning "House owner" or "Landholder".

Demographics
They are concentrated in Chennai,Villupuram, Tiruvanamalai,Cuddalore,Sivagangai, Ramanathapuram, Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Madurai, Tirunelveli and Pudukkottai districts.

Tovero

The Tovero (also known as Tobero) coloration is a mix of tobiano and overo colorations in Pinto horses and American Paint Horses.  The genetics of pinto coloration are not always fully understood, and some horses have a combination of patterns that does not fit cleanly in either category.

Some characteristics of a Tovero colored horse include:
Dark pigmentation around the ears, sometimes called a "Medicine Hat" or a "War bonnet"
Dark pigmentation around the ears, expanding to cover the forehead and/or eyes. 
Isolated "shield" dark markings completely surrounded by white, particularly on the face or chest.
One or both eyes blue. 
Dark pigmentation around the mouth, which may extend up the sides of the face and form spots. 
Chest spot(s) in varying sizes. These may also extend up the neck. 
Flank spot(s) ranging in size. These are often accompanied by smaller spots that extend forward across the barrel, and up over the loin. 
Spots, varying in size, at the base of the tail.

Altcar and Hillhouse railway station

Altcar and Hillhouse was a railway station located on the Southport & Cheshire Lines Extension Railway near Great Altcar, Lancashire, England.

The station opened on 1 September 1884, and from 1887 to 1926 also served as the southern terminus of the Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway, which it connected with at Hillhouse Junction, between Altcar and . Thereafter, the southern terminus of the LSPJR regular services became Barton (or Downholland as it was occasionally known). The "Altcar Bob" service, introduced in July 1906, was so named because it terminated here until that time. Altcar and Hillhouse was situated on the south side of the B5195 road, near the sewage works.

History
Along with all other stations on the extension line, Altcar and Hillhouse closed on 1 January 1917, as a World War I economy measure.

The station was reopened on 1 April 1919, and continued in use until 7 January 1952, when the SCLER was closed to passengers from Aintree Central to Southport Lord Street. The line remained open for public goods traffic until 7 July 1952 at Southport Lord Street, Birkdale Palace and Altcar & Hillhouse Stations. Public goods facilities were ended at Woodvale, Lydiate and Sefton & Maghull stations on the same date as passenger services (7 January 1952) and there were never any goods facilities at Ainsdale Beach station to begin with. After 7 July 1952, a siding remained open at Altcar & Hillhouse for private goods facilities until May 1960. The very last passenger train to run on the SCLER was a railway enthusiasts 'special' between Aintree and Altcar & Hillhouse railways stations on 6 June 1959.

As an ex Cheshire Lines Committee railway the line through Altcar & Hillhouse became a joint operation between the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway following the Grouping of 1923.

The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, before closure by the British Railways Board on 7 July 1952.

The site today
The station has been demolished. The route of the line through the station is today part of the Trans Pennine Trail.

Ledis Balceiro

Ledis Frank Balceiro Pajon (born April 18, 1975 in Matanzas) is a Cuban sprint canoeist who competed from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s.

In 1995 Balceiro became the first-ever Cuban canoeist to win a major international title, taking the Pan-American Games C-1 1000 m gold medal in Mar del Plata, Argentina.

At the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Balceiro duelled with Canadian Steve Giles, the reigning world C-1 1000 m champion. Giles won the C-1 1000 m final ahead of Balceiro with the positions reversed in the C-1 500 m event.

By now the Cubans were challenging the top European canoeists as well and at the Sydney Olympics, Balceiro achieved another first as he won the country's first-ever canoe/kayak Olympic medal - the C-1 1000 m silver behind Germany's Andreas Dittmer. In the C-1 500 m event, he finished sixth.

On the retirement of Leobaldo Pereira at the end of the 2001 season, Balceiro was selected as the new partner for Ibrahim Rojas in Cuba's two-man (C-2) canoe. The two men had occasionally raced together as teenagers and struck up an immediate understanding on and off the water. In 2002 they became double world champions (C-2 200 m and C-2 500 m) in Seville, Spain. They also took the silver medal in the C-2 1000 m final. The pair were voted Cuban Athletes of the Year in recognition of their achievement.

In 2003 they won both C-2 finals at the Pan American Games (500 m and 1000 m) and went to the World Championships at Gainesville, USA, as favourites. Unlike their main European rivals they again entered all three C-2 events. They finished fourth in the C-2 500 m, but were awarded bronze after the Russian team was stripped of their silver medals following Sergey Ulegin's doping disqualification. The Cuban pair had had very little recovery time since the Pan-American Games however and, this time, their grueling race schedule took its toll on Rojas and they finished outside the medals.

Both men were due to retire after the Athens Olympics and were hopeful of bowing out with a medal. Eighth place in the C-2 1000 m final was a disappointment, but the next day they won the C-2 500m silver medal.

Balceiro later decided to continue and switched back to the C-1 event for the 2005 season.

Tombul Mosque

The Sherif Halil Pasha Mosque, ( ), more commonly known as the Tombul (or Tumbul) Mosque, located in Shumen, is the largest mosque in Bulgaria and one of the largest in the Balkans.

History
Build between 1740 and 1744, the mosque was initially located in the north-eastern Bulgarian (then Ottoman) town's centre, but is now in Shumen's south-west parts as the town centre moved as a result of the enlargement of the town. The mosque's name comes from the shape of its dome.

The mosque and the associated buildings is the largest in Bulgaria. The Tombul Mosque is considered to be a cultural monument of national importance.

The building of the mosque was financed by Sheriff Halil Pasha who was born in the village of Madara, 17 km east of Shumen.

The mosque's complex consists of a main edifice (a prayer hall), a yard and a twelve-room extension (a boarding house of the madrasa). The main edifice is in its fundamental part a square, then becomes an octagon passing to a circle in the middle part, and is topped by a spherical dome that is 25 m above ground. The interior has mural paintings of vegetable life and geometric figures and inscriptions of Arabic, phrases from the Qur'an. The yard is known for the arches in front of the twelve rooms that surround it and the minaret is 40 m high.

The station first closed in 1917, along with all other stations on the extension line, as a World War I economy measure.

The station was reopened on 1 April 1919, and continued in use until 7 January 1952, when the SCLER was closed to passengers from Aintree Central to Southport Lord Street. The line remained open for public goods traffic until 7 July 1952 at Southport Lord St., Birkdale Palace and Altcar & Hillhouse Stations. Public goods facilities were ended at Woodvale, Lydiate and Sefton & Maghull stations on the same date as passenger services (7 January 1952) and there were never any goods facilities at Ainsdale Beach station to begin with. After 7 July 1952, a siding remained open at Altcar & Hillhouse for private goods facilities until May 1960.

Maltrata bus crash

The Maltrata bus crash was a road accident on 17 April 2006 near the Mexican town of Maltrata, around 125 kilometers from Mexico City. At least 57 people were killed, including 10 children.

Overview 

Mexican pilgrims were being transported from Guadalajara to Mexico City after they had attended a religious festival in the Northern city. Their 22-year-old bus had already been travelling for ten hours when police say it apparently developed a fault, probably with its brakes. The bus was descending a highway on a steep hill at over 70 miles per hour. The driver attempted to manoeuvre into an emergency hard shoulder but lost control, sending the bus rolling down a ravine which bordered the road.  

The bus fell approximately 650 feet into the stream bed below, crashing into the hillside several times as it descended. The bus was well over its capacity of 46, carrying at least 60 passengers. 57 of those were killed in the impact, and the three survivors were all very seriously injured. Initial reports said that there had been 71 passengers on the bus and 63 had died, but these numbers were scaled back as bodies were identified and several critically injured people died in the rescue operation.

The police believe that the bus's brakes were faulty, having not been serviced properly in many years, and that the driver was driving much too fast for the dangerous road, which is a well known accident black spot, owing to the lack of crash barriers. The owner of the company which supplied the bus was taken in for questioning by Mexican police.

David Barry, 1st Earl of Barrymore

David Barry, 1st Earl of Barrymore (1605–1642), 6th Viscount Buttevant from 1617 to 1628, was a Protestant native Irish peer. He died of wounds received at the battle of Battle of Liscarroll in September 1642.

Birth and Origins 

David was born on 10 March 1605, probably at Buttevant, County Cork, a posthumous child of David de Barry and his wife Elizabeth Power. His father was an heir apparent who never acceded. David's grandfather was David de Barry, 5th Viscount Buttevant. The Barrys were an Old English family who had come from Wales at the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland.

His mother was a daughter of Richard Power, 4th Baron le Power and Curraghmore.

Early life and marriage 
He succeeded as 6th Viscount Buttevant on 10 April 1617 on the death of his grandfather.  Through Cork's influence, he was created Earl of Barrymore on 28 February 1628

Marriage and children 
In 1631 Buttevant, as he was now, married Alice Boyle, daughter of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, by his second wife, Catherine Fenton.

Irish wars 
During the 1641 rebellion, he quite naturally sided with the Crown upon whom his title and lands depended. When the rebellion spread into Munster, he fought vigorously against the insurgents. On 10 May 1642, he stormed the Castle of Ballymacpatrick (now Careysville), near Fermoy, which was held by his grand-aunt, and hanged forty of the rebel leaders before breakfast. On 16 May, he lost Barrymore Castle at Castlelyons, his seat, to Maurice Roche, Viscount Fermoy and Donough MacCarty, 2nd Viscount Muskerry.

He led a regiment at the Battle of Liscarroll in September 1642. He died two weeks later on 29 September 1642 at his house in Castle Lyons probably of wounds received at the battle. He was buried in the Boyle Vault, Youghal, County Cork, by his grieving father-in-law, Richard Boyle.

Francis Shubael Smith

Francis Shubael Smith I (December 29, 1819 – February 1, 1887) partnered with Francis Scott Street and started the publishing firm of Street & Smith.

Biography
He was born at 1798 Division Street in New York City, and was the fourth son of Mary Reed (1781-1864) and Moses Rogers Smith (1768-1847). Moses was a sailing master in the US Navy, and served in the War of 1812. Moses met Mary Reed in the West Indies, they eloped and sailed to Manhattan.

In 1832 Francis was apprenticed to the printer of the New York Albion. After completing his apprenticeship he worked at various papers including the New York Weekly Dispatch. He then became a reporter at the Dispatch and then an editor.

He married Mary Jellett Duff (1838-1885) around 1853, and had the following children: Francis Shubael Smith II (1854-?); Cora Anna Smith (1855-1945) who married George H. Gould; George Campbell Smith (1859-?); and Ormond Gerald Smith (1860-1933).

He partnered with Francis Scott Street in 1855 to buy a failing magazine. They then bought the New York Weekly Dispatch in 1858. He published over 20 of his own short stories in the newspaper and many of his poems. He retired around 1877, and Francis Scott Street died in 1883. His son Ormond took over the business after his Francis's death.

He died on February 1, 1887, at the Windsor Hotel in New York City of apoplexy. His funeral was held at Zion Church on Madison Avenue in New York City.
