2011 Leicester City Council election
The 2011 Leicester City Council election took place on 5 May 2011 to elect members of Leicester City Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections and the first election for the directly elected Mayor of Leicester.

Leicester City Council
Leicester City Council is the local authority for the city of Leicester, in the ceremonial county of Leicestershire, England. Leicester has had a council from medieval times, which has been reformed on numerous occasions. Since 1997 the council has been a unitary authority, being a district council which also performs the functions of a county council; it is independent from Leicestershire County Council.

The council consists of 54 councillors, overseen by a directly elected mayor. The council also appoints a ceremonial Lord Mayor who chairs council meetings; the directly elected mayor is termed the City Mayor to distinguish the post from the Lord Mayor. The council has been under Labour majority control since 2007, and the City Mayor has been Sir Peter Soulsby since 2011.

The council meets at Leicester Town Hall and has its main offices at City Hall on Charles Street.

Cego has experienced a revival in recent years, being seen as part of the culture of the Black Forest and surrounding region. It has been called the national game of Baden and described as a "family classic".

Pig dragon
A pig dragon or zhūlóng (simplified Chinese: 玉猪龙; traditional Chinese: 玉豬龍) is a type of jade artifact from the Hongshan culture of Neolithic China. Pig dragons are zoomorphic forms with a pig-like head and elongated limbless body coiled around to the head and described as "suggestively fetal".  Early pig dragons are thick and stubby, and later examples have more graceful, snakelike bodies.

Pig dragons were produced by the Hongshan culture (4700 to 2900 BC). Along with the same culture's jade eagles (玉鷹), they often featured as grave goods. Pig bones have been found interred alongside humans at Hongshan burial sites, suggesting that the animal had some ritual significance.

There is some speculation that the pig dragon is the first representation of the Chinese dragon.  The character for "dragon" in the earliest Chinese writing has a similar coiled form, as do later jade dragon amulets from the Shang period.

Mingqi
Mingqi (Chinese: 冥器 or 明器, p míngqì), sometimes referred to as "spirit objects" or "vessels for ghosts", are Chinese burial goods. They included daily utensils, musical instruments, weapons, armor, and intimate objects such as the deceased's cap, can and bamboo mat. Mingqi also could include figurines, spiritual representations rather than real people, of soldiers, servants, musicians, polo riders, houses, unicorns and horses. Extensive use of mingqi during certain periods may either have been an attempt to preserve the image of ritual propriety by cutting costs, or it may have a new idea separating the realm of the dead from that of the living.

"Chubchik" (Russian: Чубчик), also "Curly chubchik" (Russian: Чубчик кучерявый, romanized: Chubchik kucheryavy) is a Russian folk blatnaya pesnya (a song of criminal subculture) of unknown authorship. It was performed by many famous Russian singers, both in Russia ang in Russian diaspora, with varying lyrics, the most notable version belonging to Pyotr Leshchenko.

It is a song about a dashing thief with curly chubchik (forelock), who ended up in Siberia. The approximate time of the origin of the song may be deduced from the fact that it mentions the jury trial, which existed in Russia from 1866 until the Russian Revolution of 1917.

1874–75 in English football
The 1874–75 season was the fourth season of competitive football in England at a time when the sport was still the recreation for the higher classes in the country. The growth of football in England started with the formation of clubs from these elites and a  period of Codification (1801 to 1891). Early clubs were Darwen and Turton in Lancashire. Football progressed mainly through education systems that encouraged young men to pursue playing the sport and create their own clubs post graduation.

In 1874, Charles W. Alcock coined the term "combination game" for a style of play that was based on teamwork and co-operation, largely achieved by passing the ball instead of dribbling it.

Aston Villa Football Club were formed in November 1874 by members of the Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel. The founders were members of the chapel's cricket team looking for a way to stay fit during the winter months.

Combination Game
The Combination Game was a style of association football based around teamwork and cooperation. It would gradually favour the passing of the ball between players over individual dribbling skills which had been a notable feature of early Association games. It developed from "scientific" football and is considered to be the predecessor of the modern passing game of football. It originated in Britain and its origins are associated with early clubs: Sheffield FC (founded 1857), The Royal Engineers AFC (founded 1863), Queen's Park FC (founded 1867) and Cambridge University AFC (founded 1856). Each of these claimants is supported by retrospective accounts from men who were notable in the early history of football. They are considered below in the order of earliest contemporary evidence of "scientific" football playing styles.
Software architect
A software architect is a software engineer responsible for high-level design choices related to overall system structure and behavior.

It's a software architect's responsibility to match architectural characteristics (aka non-functional requirements) with business requirements. For example:

Having high customer satisfaction requires availability, fault tolerance, security, testability, recoverability, agility and performance in the system.

Doing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) requires extensibility, scalability, adaptability, and interoperability.

Constrained budget and time requires feasibility and simplicity.

Faster time-to-market requires maintainability, testability and deployability.

Time to market
In commerce, time to market (TTM) is the length of time it takes from a product being conceived until its being available for sale. The reason that time to market is so important is that being late erodes the addressable market into which producers have to sell their product. A common assumption is that TTM matters most for first-of-a-kind products, but actually a late product launch in any industry can negatively impact revenues—from reducing the window of opportunity to generate revenues to causing the product to become obsolete faster.
