Templeton station

Templeton is an at-grade station on the Canada Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located in Richmond, British Columbia, south of the city of Vancouver, and is built on the Grauer Lands on the eastern portion of Sea Island.

The Vancouver International Airport Authority contributed up to $300 million toward the airport branch of the Canada Line, which includes Templeton. This station, along with Sea Island Centre, was built at-grade to allow for the future construction of an elevated aircraft taxiway over the Canada Line guideway.

Services
Templeton station serves Vancouver International Airport's long term parking lot, as well as Burkeville, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport, offices, and light industrial space at the eastern end of Sea Island, providing direct rapid transit service to YVR and Downtown Vancouver. The station also provides the most direct access to Iona Island and Iona and McDonald Beach Regional Parks in the northwest, and to the YVR's south terminal in the southwest.

Entrances
Templeton is served by two entrances. The northern entrance is adjacent to Templeton Station Road, and provides access to the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Vancouver Airport. The southern entrance is adjacent to a large parking lot.

Airport surcharge
As with all stations on Sea Island—YVR–Airport, Sea Island Centre, and Templeton—a $5.00 surcharge, the "YVR AddFare", applies to fares paid with cash, with Compass Card stored value, or with DayPasses purchased at the station for eastbound trips originating from this station to Bridgeport station or beyond. Trips using a monthly pass are exempt, as are trips using DayPasses purchased and activated off Sea Island. Trips to Templeton are not subject to the surcharge. Travel between YVR–Airport, Sea Island Centre, and Templeton stations is free.

Future services
In its 20-year master plan developed in 2007, YVR identified the possibilities of locating certain terminal facilities (such as passenger and baggage check-in) at the station in order to relieve congestion at existing terminal curbside spaces, and providing new long-term public and employee parking near the station. Self-service passenger check-in kiosks have been installed at Templeton station, alongside several other stations on the Canada Line.

Marietta National Cemetery

Marietta National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in the city of Marietta in Cobb County, Georgia. It encompasses , and as of the end of 2006, had 18,742 interments. It is closed to new interments, and is now maintained by the new Georgia National Cemetery.

History 
Originally established in 1866 by General George Henry Thomas as Marietta and Atlanta National Cemetery, it was intended to provide interment for nearly 10,000 Union dead from General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign.

The land for the cemetery was donated by local resident Henry Cole, as a place to inter both Union and Confederate soldiers. His idea was that by burying together those who had fallen together in battle, it could help foster a kind of peace. Both sides rejected his proposal, and the land was used primarily to inter Union soldiers, while the others were buried in the Marietta Confederate Cemetery. As part of the land sale agreement, the Cole family has their own plot within the National Cemetery.

Marietta National Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1998.

Notable monuments 
 A marble obelisk dedicated in honor of 20th Army Corps was erected in May 1870.
 The Wisconsin Monument, dedicated in 1925 to 405 men from Wisconsin who died during the Civil War and were interred at the cemetery.
 The Gold Star Mothers Monument, dedicated on April 24, 1960.

Volvo T6

The Volvo T6 was a concept car from Volvo presented in 2005 at SEMA. There was just one hand built copy, although there was some discussion about a limited production run. It is powered by a twin turbocharged 2.9 litre inline six cylinder engine from Volvo S80 giving  and a top speed of . The engine is located behind the driver. 

Its design is inspired by hot rod cars. It was named the 2004 Hot Rod of the Year by Hot Rod Magazine. It was designed by Per Gyllenspetz from Labyrint Studio, and built by Leif Tufvesson. Many believe the shape and body to take inspiration from the Plymouth Prowler, because, much like the Prowler, the T6 was designed to be a modern take on the classic hot rod.

Victoria Butterfly Gardens

The Victoria Butterfly Gardens is located in the Greater Victoria region of Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada. It is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Victoria area. The Victoria Butterfly Gardens are known for having different species of butterflies and moths in their indoor facility, as well as birds, fishes, frogs, an iguana, geckoes  and tortoises, along with the newly added Insectarium. The Gardens is closed Christmas day.

Environment
The indoor facility of the gardens is computer-controlled to maintain the temperature, light, mist, cooling and humidity of the simulated  rainforest. The environment of the simulated indoor rainforest has over 200 species of tropical plants, which includes carnivorous plants and a waterfall that connects to the meandering stream.

Butterflies
The Victoria Butterfly Gardens have over 75 species (over 4,000 in population) of butterflies and moths that fly, eat and lay eggs freely inside the indoor facility. Visitors to the gardens can watch the nursery window and view the butterflies emerging from the chrysalis, which is around 400-700 emerging butterflies, per week, that are captive-bred and shipped by butterfly farms from Costa Rica, Malaysia and London, England.

The plants in the gardens are known as "host" and "food" plants for the butterflies. The "host plants" are used by butterflies to lay their eggs, outside of the nursery window. The "food plants" are used by butterflies to feed on, after they emerge from their chrysalis. However, some butterflies feed from the 'feeding trays', placed throughout the gardens. In the feeding trays, fermenting fruit is provided and the butterflies feed off of the naturally produced alcohol. Most frequently visiting the trays are usually blue morphos and owl butterflies. Some of the most commonly seen butterflies include the aforementioned blue morphos and owl butterflies, in addition to many members of the Helicon family of butterflies.

Birds and fish
In the streams of the gardens is home to two varieties of carp, the gin rin koi and butterfly koi, and the albino oscar.

All over the gardens, there are different kinds of birds. Some of them share the air and fly amongst the butterflies, some swim in the streams with the fish.  The birds of the gardens are popular attractions, because of their antics and behaviours that raises the entertainment value for the visitors. The most popular birds in the gardens are Leo the orange-winged amazon parrot, Little E the eclectus parrot, Shadow the blue and gold macaw, and Mango, the Caribbean flamingo, whom usually interact or show off their behaviours to visitors. Other such birds at the gardens include finches, canaries, parakeets, and more.

Butterfly Places and Pumpkin Faces
The first annual Butterfly Places and Pumpkin Faces was held on October 19, 2008, as a fundraiser for the pediatric ward in the Victoria General Hospital.

Bab Al Bahrain

Bab Al Bahrain (, translitered Bāb al-Baḥrayn meaning Gateway of Bahrain) is a historical building located in the Customs Square in the central business district of Manama. It marks the main entrance to the Manama Souq. 

Opened in 1949 and designed by the British adviser to the emir, Charles Belgrave, Bab Al Bahrain once stood on the Manama coastline. Due to extensive land reclamation in the later half of the 20th century, the structure is now several kilometres inland. The square is considered to be the region's first formal public space.

Location
The building is situated on Government Avenue in Manama. It lies adjacent to the King Faisal Highway that leads to the causeway connecting the country to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia The Bahrain Financial Harbour and other landmarks are nearby.

History
The monument itself was refurbished in 1986 to incorporate Islamic architectural features. In 2013, a complete new refurbishment of the facade and the interiors was made, the ground floor now houses the tourist information office and a handicrafts shop. Today the monument essentially consists of a huge arch, below which runs a road, which is often referred to as the entrance to the Manama souq (marketplace) and 2 sides arches are made for pedestrian. The building hosts several shops and cafes, including Naseef Cafe which was the first ice cream shop in the country.

Government Avenue, which runs in front of Bab Al Bahrain, contains many major banks and business establishments. Government Avenue is so named because the entire offices of the Bahrain government were once housed here. The Gold City (different from Gold Souq) is a shopping complex for gold ornaments and is also located on Government Avenue. The Indian jewellery retailer Alukkas has a branch in Gold City.

Bab al Bahrain is expected to serve as an interchange station for the 109km Bahrain Metro which is expected to be fully operational by 2030.

Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos do Porto

STCP (Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos do Porto, E.I.M., S.A., lit. Porto Public Transport Society) is the public transport company that runs the bus and tram service in Greater Porto, Portugal. Created in 1946, it took over the Porto tram system from its privately owned predecessor and continues to operate it today, but the formerly large tram system now has only three lines, which are heritage tram lines, and the STCP network is now mostly bus service.  STCP does not operate the city's light rail system, Porto Metro, but owns 25% of it. It is a public company controlled by a board responsible to the central government and had about 1,500 employees in 2009. STCP operates 83 bus routes – of which 11 are late-night-only routes – and the bus service covers 539 km of routes.

History
STCP's name originally was Serviço de Transportes Colectivos do Porto. It was created in 1946, when the municipality took over the Companhia Carris de Ferro do Porto (CCFP) (the Porto Tramways Company), which had been in operation since 1873 and, apart from a brief period in 1907–08, had provided all public transport service in Porto since 1893. The municipal government purchased CCFP under a contract option accepted by the private company in 1906.  An operating concession granted to the company at that time gave it an exclusive franchise to operate public transport in Porto but included an option allowing the city to purchase the system after 35 years. It did so in 1946, adopting the name Serviço de Transportes Colectivos do Porto for the new municipal authority.  In addition to trams and buses, STCP's service included trolleybuses from 1959 to 1997.

In 1994, STCP became a Sociedade Anónima (limited liability company), and the first word of its name was changed to "Sociedade".

Fleet
STCP's fleet includes natural gas and hybrid buses.  The company has a small R&D group that has developed technologies to support the eco-friendly fleet, like a pump for natural gas with higher throughput. This enabled buses to spend a smaller time at the pumps refilling.

As of 2009, low-floor vehicles comprise 92% of STCP's fleet, and 73% of the fleet is air-conditioned. The fleet also included 15 double-decker buses at that time. The company is migrating its fleet to use the Andante ticketing system.

Intraparietal sulcus

The intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is located on the lateral surface of the parietal lobe, and consists of an oblique and a horizontal portion.  The IPS contains a series of functionally distinct subregions that have been intensively investigated using both single cell neurophysiology in primates and human functional neuroimaging.
Its principal functions are related to perceptual-motor coordination (e.g., directing eye movements and reaching) and visual attention, which allows for visually-guided pointing, grasping, and object manipulation that can produce a desired effect.

The IPS is also thought to play a role in other functions, including processing symbolic numerical information, visuospatial working memory  and interpreting the intent of others.

Function
Five regions of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS): anterior, lateral, ventral, caudal, and medial
 LIP & VIP: involved in visual attention and saccadic eye movements
 VIP & MIP: visual control of reaching and pointing
 AIP: visual control of grasping and manipulating hand movements
 CIP: perception of depth from stereopsis

All of these areas have projections to the frontal lobe for executive control.

Activity in the intraparietal sulcus has also been associated with the learning of sequences of finger movements.

The dorsal attention network includes the intraparietal sulcus of each hemisphere. The intraparietal sulcus is activated during voluntary orientation of attention.

Understanding numbers
Behavioral studies suggest that the IPS is associated with impairments of basic numerical magnitude processing and that there is a pattern of structural and functional alternations in the IPS and in the PFC in dyscalculia. Children with developmental dyscalculia were found to have less gray matter in the left IPS.

Studies have shown that electrical activity in a particular group of nerve cells in the intraparietal sulcus spiked when, and only when, volunteers were performing calculations.
Outside experimental settings it was also found that when a patient mentioned a number—or even a quantitative reference, such as "some more", "many" or "bigger than the other one"—there was a spike of electrical activity in the same nerve-cell population of the intraparietal sulcus that was activated when the patient was doing calculations under experimental conditions.

Pacific Coast University

Pacific Coast University School of Law (Pacific Coast University or PCU School of Law) is an unaccredited private law school in Long Beach, California.

Accreditation

The PCU School of Law was originally granted accreditation by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California on September 25, 2010. Due to its mission as an evening-only law school, PCU is not eligible to apply for accreditation by the American Bar Association.  As a result, while PCU graduates may sit for the California Bar Exam, and should they pass, join the California Bar, they are generally ineligible to practice law in other states.
On June 22, 2020, Pacific Coast University, School of Law was officially notified by the Committee of Bar Examiners (CBE) of the State of California that its accreditation and degree-granting authority has been terminated effective August 20, 2020 due to non-compliance with the minimum California Bar pass rate.

History
For some period, Pune was ruled by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in mid to late 1600s.  When Aurangzeb attacked Pune, he camped Budhwar Peth in 1660. During Mughal rule, this Peth was known as Mohitabad or Moheyabad. Peshwa Madhavrao I (1761- 1773) renamed it as Budhwar Peth. Tulshibaug, Belbaugh and the Jogeshwari temple are some of the historical landmarks of Budhwar peth from the Peshwa era.

The Bhide Wada, located near Limbraj Maharaj Temple hosted the first school for girls in Maharashtra. The school was started by Savitribai and Jyotiba Phule in January 1848.

Economy
Budhwar Peth is a business area particularly for electrical goods market, books and traditional items.  Places of interest include; Tambdi Jogeshwari Temple, N.M.V High School, part of  Laxmi Road, the main shopping area of inner Pune, Appa Balwant Chowk and Dagadusheth Halwai Ganapati temple, which is believed to be the richest amongst all Ganesh Temples with the Lord Ganesha icon laden with several | of rupees of gold.

Red-light district
Budhwar Peth houses India's third largest red-light district. It has been estimated to contain about 700 brothels and 5,000 prostitutes. The area suffers from sex trafficking, child prostitution and police corruption. HIV was formerly a large problem, but an HIV/AIDS programme, including education and condom distribution has resulted in a considerably reduced HIV prevalence.

Secular music

Non-religious secular music and sacred music were the two main genres of Western music during the Middle Ages and Renaissance era. The oldest written examples of secular music are songs with Latin lyrics.  However, many secular songs were sung in the vernacular language, unlike the sacred songs that followed the Latin language of the Church.  These earliest types were known as the chanson de geste (song of deeds) and were popular amongst the traveling jongleurs and minstrels of the time.

The largest collection of secular music from this period comes from poems of celebration and chivalry of the troubadours from the south of France. These poems contain clever rhyme-schemes, varied use of refrain-lines or words, and different metric patterns. The minstrels of this time were not themselves poets or composers. Instead they adapted the compositions of others to sing, play, and dance to in their own unique versions.  Other styles included love songs, political satire, dances, chansons, and dramatic works.

According to Grout's A History of Western Music (1996), common musical instruments of this time period included: harps, imported to continental Europe from Ireland and Britain sometime before the ninth century; Vielle, a prototype of the Renaissance viol and modern viola with five strings, one of which was a drone, popular amongst the jongleurs to accompany their singing and recitations; Organistrum, a three-stringed instrument similar to the vielle but played by the turning of a crank, with strings ‘stopped by a set rods instead of the player’s fingers); and Psaltery, a type of zither played by plucking or ‘striking’ the strings, which frequently appears in medieval art. The most common wind instruments included both recorder and transverse style flutes; the reeded Shawms, a precursor to the oboe; trumpets and bagpipes.
    
Drums, harps, recorders, and bagpipes were the instruments of choice when performing secular music due to ease of transportation. Jongleurs and minstrels learned their trade through oral tradition.

Composers like Josquin des Prez wrote sacred and secular music. He composed 86 highly successful secular works and 119 sacred pieces. Secular music also was aided by the formation of literature during the reign of Charlemagne that included a collection of secular and semi-secular songs. Guillaume de Machaut was another example of a leading composer who continued the trouvere tradition.

1995 World Snooker Championship

The 1995 World Snooker Championship (also referred to as the 1995 Embassy World Snooker Championship for the purposes of sponsorship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 14 and 30 April 1995 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. The tournament was sponsored by cigarette manufacturer Embassy.

Overview
 Stephen Hendry won his fifth world title beating Nigel Bond 18–9.  This was Hendry's fourth consecutive title, breaking Steve Davis' previous Crucible record of three.
 Hendry made the third 147 maximum break in the history of the tournament during his semi-final against Jimmy White.
 Before the first round match between Jimmy White and Peter Francisco, there were unusual gambling patterns on a 10–2 win for White and betting was suspended shortly before the match. A betting investigation was held and Francisco was banned for five years.
 Future world champion John Higgins made his debut in this tournament. He lost in the first round to Alan McManus. Another debutant, Andy Hicks, reached the semi-finals, knocking out six time former champion (and #2 seed) Steve Davis en route. 
 Until 2020 this was the last World Championship to start on a Friday and finish on a Sunday, rather than starting on a Saturday and finishing on the "May Day" Bank Holiday, the first Monday in May, as is tradition.

Wesley Mann

Wesley Mann (born September 6, 1963) is an American character actor, best known for his role as the caterpillar on Adventures in Wonderland and for playing the spluttering teacher-turned-principal Mr. Lawler on That's So  Raven.

Many of Mann's roles are minor and he frequently delivers only a handful of lines, but he has a somewhat distinctive appearance, that of a long-suffering, vaguely glib demeanor that makes him easily recognizable whenever he shows up in a film or on television. He is, by definition, a character actor, and thus he has never performed a lead role.

His acting career began in the early 1980s, landing guest roles on mainstay sitcoms The Golden Girls and Night Court, and appearances in Who's Harry Crumb? and My Stepmother Is An Alien. His distinctive face and demeanor were featured prominently in 1989's Back to the Future Part II, as the high school student who thinks that Marty has just robbed Biff of his wallet. As Biff regains consciousness after having been knocked out by George, Mann (credited as "CPR Kid," but later labeled by fans as the Wallet Guy) shouts "I think he took your wallet!" after Biff, then turns back to the other onlookers and repeats "I think he took his wallet."

Mann has also appeared in the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival in Garrison, New York, for nine seasons.

Nissim de Camondo

Nissim de Camondo (23 August 1892 – 5 September 1917) was a French military officer and a member of the prominent Camondo family.

Born in Boulogne-Billancourt and named for his grandfather, he was the son of Moïse de Camondo, a wealthy Jewish banker, and countess Irène Cahen d'Anvers. As the only son of two children, Nissim de Camondo was expected to take over the family business.

However, immediately upon the outbreak of World War I, he joined the French army, then served as a pilot in the air force. Lieutenant Nissim de Camondo died in 1917 during aerial combat in Lorraine and was buried in the Montmartre Cemetery, in Paris.

On his death in 1935, Moïse de Camondo bequeathed his Parisian mansion at 63, rue de Monceau (including its contents and a major collection of art) to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, to be used to create the Musée Nissim de Camondo in his son's honor.

During the German occupation of France during World War II, Camondo's sister, Béatrice, her husband, Léon Reinach, and their two children, Fanny and Bertrand, all died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Camondo's mother, Irène survived by escaping to a villa in the south of France.

Optic stalk

The optic vesicles project toward the sides of the head, and the peripheral part of each expands to form a hollow bulb, while the proximal part remains narrow and constitutes the optic stalk.

Closure of the choroidal fissure in the optic stalk occurs during the seventh week of development. The former optic stalk is then called the optic nerve. In short, the optic stalks are the structures that precede the optic nerves embryologically.

TW 400

The TW 400 is a type of tram vehicle formerly used on the tramways of Hanover, Germany, built from 1956 to 1958 by Duewag. Some units underwent remodeling to prepare them for being used on the Hanover Stadtbahn network but they were never used for this purpose.

During the construction of the A tunnel of the Hanover Stadtbahn it was not foreseeable whether the new TW 6000 cars would be available in sufficient numbers. Therefore, a number of TW 400 cars (called  because of their body width of ), was brought up to tunnel standards from 1969 onwards.

This involved:
Folding steps
Rearrangement of the doors
wide door steps (dubbed "Blumenbretter" or "window sills"), bridging the gap between the tramcar and the platform.

Since the tram cars were unidirectional vehicles, all stations on the A line have their platforms on the right in direction of travel. This led to some problems, most notably the complicated layout of the station Lister Platz, with platforms stacked on top of each other. The Lahe terminus also was equipped with a turning loop to allow the TW 400 cars to turn around.

In the end, when the Stadtbahn system opened in 1975, there was a large enough number of TW 6000 available and so the TW 400 were never used in the tunnels. They used to run on the tramway lines and were put out of service in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Most of them were consequently scrapped. The tunnel-enabled unit 427, together with trailer 1424, has been preserved at the HSM in Sehnde.

Accumulated thermal unit

An accumulated thermal unit, is a unit of measurement used to describe the cumulative effect of temperature over time. 1 ATU is equal to 1 degree Celsius for 1 day. For example, in an environment at a constant temperature of 5 °C, 5 ATU would accumulate per day, with 65 ATUs accumulated after 13 days.

Accumulated thermal units are used, for example, in aquaculture to track the development of incubating salmonid eggs. Eggs incubated at 10 °C develop twice as fast as eggs incubated at 5 °C.
