Professional school

Professional School or Professional Education, in the United States and Canada, is a school that rewards professional degrees required to enter a profession, usually to become a lawyer or a medical doctor. Professional studies are sometimes confused with graduate studies. Although all professional degrees are graduate degrees, not all graduate degrees are professional degrees.  

Examples of Professional Degrees include: 

 Juris Doctor (JD): A law degree required in most states to become a lawyer. In Canada, the Juris Doctor Degree replaced the Bachelor of Laws degree in the late 2000s. 
 Medical Degree (MD): A degree of medicine required in all states to become a physician, which the student must also complete post-graduate medical training known as residency to become a full license doctor. 
 Osteopathic Medicine (DO): Equivalent to a medical degree (see above). However, this degree also allows a physician to perform osteopathy on patients.

Crêpe

A  crêpe or crepe ( or , , Quebec French: ) is a type of pancake. The dough is made of flour, eggs, and a liquid, usually milk or water. The crepe is then cooked on both sides. 

Originally, crêpes came from Brittany in France, where they originated in the 13th century. Today, they can be found all over the world. 

There are two varieties: the sweet crêpe, crêpe sucrée,  and the salty one, which is usually called galettes. Crêpes are usually consumed with a filling. 

When preparing the gallettes, usually a different kind of flour is used (blé de Sarassin, from Buckwheat), and less sugar is used.

Special places that mainly servecrêpes are called crêperie in France.

1923 Toronto municipal election

Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1923. Charles A. Maguire was re-elected as Mayor of Toronto.

Toronto mayor
Charles A. Maguire had been re-elected as mayor in 1922 without any opposition. The 1923 campaign's main issue was Sir Adam Beck's plan for an electrical radial railway (an system of streetcars running between towns and cities) along the Toronto's waterfront and into the neighbouring cities. Maguire was in favour of the controversial plan. His main opponent was R.J. Fleming who was against the plan. Fleming had previously been mayor several decades before. The radial plan was defeated in a referendum that happened at the same time as the election, but Maguire was re-elected mayor.

Fair (event)

A fair is a gathering of people for a variety of entertainment or business related activities. A fair may last for several days or weeks and may occur every year at a specific location.

Types

Some fairs from generally smallest or biggest include:
 Village fair, a festival, party or celebration that happens every year or every few years. Traditionally, they were held to celebrate a good harvests or religious gatherings.
 Traveling funfair/carnival, an amusement show made up of amusement rides, food stalls, merchandise selling stalls, games of "chance and skill", thrill acts and (now less often) animal acts.
 A town/city's street fair or market celebrates character of a neighborhood and local merchants.
 County fair (USA) or county show (UK), a public event displaying the equipment, animals, sports and recreation associated with agriculture and animal breeding.
 Regional or state fair, an annual competition and recreation get-together. Including exhibits or competitors that have won a prize at the local fairs.
 Trade fair, an event held so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and services, study activities of rivals, and examine recent market trends and opportunities.
 Festival, an event ordinarily coordinated with a theme e.g. music, art, season, tradition, history, ethnicity, religion, or a national holiday.

History

The Roman fairs were holidays on which there was an intermission of labor and pleadings. In the Roman provinces of Judea and Syria Palaestina, Jewish rabbis prohibited Jews from participating in fairs in certain towns because the religious nature of the fairs contravened the prescribed practice of Judaism.

In the Middle Ages, many fairs developed as short-lasting markets and were very important for long-distance and international trade. Traders travelled, sometimes for many days, to fairs where they could be sure to meet those they needed to buy from or sell to. Fairs were usually tied to special Christian religious events, such as the Saint's day of the local church. Stagshaw, in England, held annual fairs as early as 1293 consisting of the sales of animals. Along with the main fair held on 4 July, the city also hosted smaller fairs throughout the year where certain types of animals were sold, such as one for horses, one for lambs, and one for ewes.

The Kumbh Mela, held every twelve years, at Allahabad, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain is one of the largest fairs in India, where more than 60 million people gathered in January 2001, making it the largest gathering anywhere in the world. Kumbha means a pitcher and Mela means fair in Sanskrit.

In the United States, fairs draw in as many as 150 million people each summer. Children's competitions at an American fair range from breeding small animals to robotics, whilst the organization 4-H has become a traditional association.

Choro-Q Advance

Choro-Q Advance (Japanese: チョロＱアドバンス Choro-kyū Adobansu) (localized as Gadget Racers in the United States and Penny Racers in Europe) is the first of two Choro-Q video games to be released on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

Gameplay 
Choro-Q Advance is described as a "CarPG". The main goal of the game is to advance across five sections of a world map, completing several events along the way in several categories (such as a simple race, a speed test, a single lap dash, a drag race or a braking test). Wins earn money and parts, with the player's stats being able to be upgraded through the use of new parts, and also visual customisation of the player's car, spedometer and changing their horn.

There were also other types of races - battle races where players would shoot eachother with weapons equipped to their cars, and races across water that would require floats. These two types would carry onto the sequel.

The game uses a graphical system similar to other GameBoy Advance racing games at the time, with Mode-7 styled ground effects with billboarded sprites intended to give the impression of 3D graphics.

This game allows players to share "bottle racers" with other players that would appear in the races of the players that received said bottle racers. This was included along with a traditional link-play mode via the Game Boy Advance Link Cable.

Trivia 

 The Japanese version of the game featured a mail system that would inform you of specific things on your journey through the events. This was removed from all other versions of the game.

Plaisir d'amour

Plaisir d'amour is a well-known French love song. The text is from the novella Céléstine by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian, published in 1784. Jean-Paul-Égide Martini composed the melody, and published it in 1785. In 1859, Hector Berlioz wrote a short piece for small orchestra, based on the melody.

It has been interpreted by many famous singers: Fritz Wunderlich (1965), Yvonne Printemps (1931), Tino Rossi (1955), Joan Baez (1961), Judith Durham of the Seekers (1963), Marianne Faithfull (1965), Nana Mouskouri (1971), Brigitte Bardot, Barbara Hendricks, Andrea Bocelli, Mireille Mathieu, Peter Alexander, Ivan Rebroff and Eddy Mitchell are among them. The King’s Singers, one of the best English a capella choirs also have a version.

Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, with a well-known version by  UB40, has the same melody.
