Henry W. Cleaveland Henry William Cleaveland (1827 – May 29, 1919) was an American architect based in New York, New York, and then San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon. He was one of the founding members of the American Institute of Architects, and several of his works have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. His works include Ralston Hall, a National Historic Landmark in the San Francisco Bay Area, the original Palace Hotel in San Francisco, and the Bidwell Mansion in Chico, California. Cleaveland was born in 1827 in Massachusetts. His father was an academic at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. In the 1840s, Cleaveland moved to New York City to study architecture. In the 1850s, he was a practicing architect in New York in partnership with brothers Wiliam and Samuel Backus. Cleaveland is said to have been a "disciple" of Andrew Jackson Downing, who published highly influential architectural patternbooks. With his partners, the Backus brothers, Cleaveland co-authored a patternbook of his own, "Village and Farm Cottages", which was published in 1856 and, as of 1990, had last been reprinted in 1869. It is now available on-line. Cleaveland's book, and another by Gervase Wheeler, were credited with having "flashed the Stick look far and wide" and having "inspired local builders to erect Stick houses, or incorporate their details, on a truly national scale for the first time, from the established Northeast to the burgeoning cities of the West like San Francisco." In February 1857, Cleaveland was one of 13 architects who met to form an organization to "promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members" and "elevate the standing of the profession." The organization became the American Institute of Architects. In 1859, Cleaveland moved to San Francisco, California. Along with S & J Newsom and Bernard Maybeck, he has been credited with playing an influential role in the transition of California's architectural style from Spanish-Mexican influence to "the state's unique Victorian style." While in San Francisco, Cleaveland designed some of his most notable works, including Ralston Hall in Belmont, California, which has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. He also designed the original Palace Hotel, built in 1875 and destroyed in the fire that followed the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. He also worked for a time as an architect in Portland, Oregon.

In chapter 49, High tells of the god Baldr's funeral procession. Various deities are mentioned as having attended, including Heimdallr, who there rode his horse Gulltopr. In chapter 51, High foretells the events of Ragnarök. After the enemies of the gods will gather at the plain Vígríðr, Heimdallr will stand and mightily blow into Gjallarhorn. The gods will awake and assemble together at the thing. At the end of the battle between various gods and their enemies, Heimdallr will face Loki and they will kill one another. After, the world will be engulfed in flames. High then quotes the above-mentioned stanza regarding Heimdallr raising his horn in "Völuspá". At the beginning of "Skáldskaparmál", Heimdallr is mentioned as having attended a banquet in Asgard with various other deities. Later in the book, "Húsdrápa", a poem by 10th century skald Úlfr Uggason, is cited, during which Heimdallr is described as having ridden to Baldr's funeral pyre. In chapter 8, means of referring to Heimdallr are provided; "son of nine mothers", "guardian of the gods", "the white As" (see "Poetic Edda" discussion regarding "hvítastr ása" above), "Loki's enemy", and "recoverer of Freyja's necklace". The section adds that the poem "Heimdalargaldr" is about him, and that, since the poem, "the head has been called Heimdall's doom: man's doom is an expression for sword". Hiemdallr is the owner of Gulltoppr, is also known as Vindhlér, and is a son of Odin. Heimdallr visits Vágasker and Singasteinn and there vied with Loki for Brísingamen. According to the chapter, the skald Úlfr Uggason composed a large section of his "Húsdrápa" about these events and that "Húsdrápa" says that the two were in the shape of seals. A few chapters later, ways of referring to Loki are provided, including "wrangler with Heimdall and Skadi", and section of Úlfr Uggason's "Húsdrápa" is then provided in reference: The chapter points out that in the above "Húsdrápa" section Heimdallr is said to be the son of nine mothers.

His experience of working in the US means Corbett was often called upon to comment on severe weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes on various BBC News programmes and the BBC News channel. On 17 May 2011 he announced on BBC Radio 5 Live that he was leaving the BBC to work in New Zealand for the Met Service. He made his final 5 Live forecast on 18 May 2011. After three years in New Zealand, he made his final Met Service forecast on 9 May 2014. In September 2014, it was announced that he would be joining the ONE News weather team at TVNZ. He made his first weather presentation on TVNZ, where he currently works, on 25 September 2014.

Christian (singer) Gaetano Cristiano Rossi (born 8 September 1949), best known as Christian, is an Italian singer, mainly successful in the first half of the 1980s. Born in Palermo, the son of a policeman and a housewife, at young age Rossi was a football player for Palermo and Mantova F.C., but had to quit for a cardiac arrhythmia. He started his career as a singer in the early 1970s, and got his first hit in 1980, with the song "Daniela" which ranked at the seventh place on the Italian hit parade. Often paired with Julio Iglesias, with whom he shared some authors and a similar style, between 1982 and 1984 Christian had four singles peaking at first place on the Italian hit parade. Between 1982 and 1990 he also entered the main competition at the Sanremo Music Festival six times, ranking third in 1984 with the song "Cara". Rossi married the singer Dora Moroni in 1987; the couple divorced in 1997. They had a son, Alfredo.

She worked in journalism and advertising prior to becoming a freelance communication strategist. Britten has authored two youth novels and three non-fiction books on local insults. In 2012 she wrote "... insults are also markers of collective identity. This is why I started collecting South African insults back in 2004: I wanted to understand what makes us who we are, and insults are one prism through which to view the national self ...". She regularly contributes to "Thought Leader", a news and opinion website run by the "Mail & Guardian" newspaper. She wrote the chapter "How Not to Emigrate" in "Should I stay or should I go? To live in or leave South Africa", having returned to South Africa after emigrating to Australia in 2008. In the editor's introduction to the book, Tim Richman writes: "Many of the contributions in this book are deeply personal; such is the nature of the topic. For Sarah Britten, there was no other way to approach her traumatic and disastrous emigration experience, one that ultimately destroyed her marriage. Or, as she suggests, perhaps it extended it beyond its sell-by date. Sarah is candid, open, honest, raw – uncomfortably at times. But hers is a necessary and hugely revealing piece, clarifying both the extent of the life-hold that emigration can exert on individuals and families, as well as the stresses it can generate." At the time, she wrote about her emigration experience on her "Thought Leader" blog which she named "Gondwanaland" after the ancient southerly supercontinent that included Africa, Australia and Antarctica among other present-day landmasses. Britten paints cityscapes and other subjects, namely still life, bulls and bears (stock market trend symbols), dogs, cats, horses, sharks, crocodiles, rhinos, Nguni cattle and dung beetles, with lipstick. Her art is influenced by "Zoo City", a science fiction novel by South African author Lauren Beukes. On her art website, she says: "Set in Hillbrow, the zoo city of the title, it features characters mysteriously attached to animal familiars as a form of punishment. Zoo City is riotous, chaotic and completely crazy and I loved the way it brought to life the animal energy that lurks just beneath the surface of the city. After reading the book, I started experimenting with placing animals in cityscapes, both the kind that are found in cities (dogs and cats) and those that exist in Johannesburg only as metaphors – sharks and crocodiles, for example.

Casa Caprona Built in 1926, the Casa Caprona (also known as the Markent Apartments) is a historic building in Fort Pierce, Florida, USA. It is located at 2605 St. Lucie Boulevard. Designed in the Mediterranean Revival style by architects Arthur Beck and J.K. Shinn, it was envisioned as the centerpiece for the proposed winter community of San Lucie Plaza. However, due to the collapse of the Florida land boom, the project failed. On June 2, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Magnus Isacsson Magnus Isacsson (1948 - August 2, 2012) was a Canadian documentary filmmaker whose films investigated contemporary political issues and topics in social activism. Isacsson was born in Sweden in 1948. His father founded and ran an art school and his mother taught children with learning disabilities. Isacsson first became involved with photography, with photographs exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm when he was 18 years old. He immigrated to Canada in 1970. He first worked as a radio producer for Sveriges Radio and the CBC, before moving into television to direct reports for the English– and French-language CBC television networks, for such programs as "The Fifth Estate" and "". Frustrated by the creative constraints of working for TV networks, Isacsson began a career as an independent filmmaker in 1986. His film "Uranium", the story of radioactive contamination on Native land by Canada's uranium mines, won a Golden Sheaf Award at the Yorkton Film Festival in 1991; "Power", a feature-length chronicle of the Cree's five-year struggle against the Great Whale Hydro Project in Northern Quebec, received the award for Best Documentary at the International Environmental Film Festival in Paris (1997), amongst other accolades and nominations. "The Choir Boys", a film about the journey of a choir of homeless men in Montreal, won the award for Best Documentary at the Mumbai International Film Festival in 2000. Isacsson has been involved in the Documentary Organization of Canada (formerly CIFC) since its beginning, contributing to the formation of the Montreal chapter in 1988. He was also involved in starting the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal (RIDM) as a member of its first programming committee. In association with the RIDM, Isacsson instigated the Docu-Mondays (Lundis du Doc) screening series. Isacsson was a member of the ARRQ director's union in Quebec, and has served as a board member for the Observatoire du Documentaire. Isacsson's last film was the feature-length documentary "L'Art en Action" (2009), a study of the ATSA group's provocative urban art installation. At the time of his death, Isacsson was working on "Granny Power", a film about the Raging Grannies. In addition to his filmmaking, Isacsson was also a university educator and pioneer in community media, teaching audiovisual production courses in Zimbabwe and South Africa while working with Vidéo Tiers Monde.

Timex Open The Timex Open was a golf tournament on the European Tour which was played in 1983 and 1984 at Biarritz Golf Club in Biarritz, France. The tournament existed before then, and was won by Géry Watine in 1980, 1981 and 1982.

By the late 1820s, however, he was in trouble financially and forced to withdraw gradually from the field. He found it increasingly difficult to compete with less expensive English woolens, and there was growing consumer demand by then for cheaper machine-made cotton goods. In addition, he was having growing problems acquiring fine wools for the production of his luxury goods. His efforts to increase and improve French sheep herds had only limited success, and agricultural interests in France had succeeded in having a high tariff placed on imports of foreign wools. Ternaux decided to shift his energies and available investment capital to the manufacture of linens and canvas. He researched the cultivation of flax in France and experimented at Saint-Ouen with machines for the manufacture of linens. Finally, in 1829, he organized a partnership to raise over 2 million francs for the construction of a large, up-to-date linens and canvas factory at the small village of Boubers-sur-Canche, near Arras (Department of Pas-de-Calais). Unfortunately, just as the Boubers factory was about to begin production, the Revolution of July 1830 in France scared off his investors. The fate of the Boubers venture was still in question when Ternaux died accidentally (2 April 1833) at his home in Saint-Ouen. William Ternaux’s impressive woolens empire did not endure after his sudden and tragic death. His only brother, Etienne-Nicolas, who contributed importantly to the success of "‘Ternaux frères’" from 1795 to 1816, died in 1830. Etienne had liquidated his business relationship with his brother earlier in 1816. In 1816, Ternaux's two sons, Charles-Louis (1791-1835) and Édouard-Louis (1792-1836), were given shares in the business at Louviers and Reims, but were unwilling to carry on in the family enterprise after their father's death. They refused their inheritance which was encumbered with debts. Charles, in 1826, was a partner in a commercial bank in Paris, named Charles Ternaux, J. Gandolphe & Company, No.2 rue des Fossés-Montmartre. Édouard had been a partner with his father's associates at Reims, Jobert-Lucas & Company. This company was dissolved in 1829. Ternaux was unmarried in 1833.

Wu and Riley are both classically trained performers and composers who have also embraced various improvisational styles. They draw from a variety of traditions, including jazz, Indian raga, and Chinese, Spanish, and Western classical music. Wu and Washburn have known each other since 2006. Washburn is a Grammy award-winning singer, songwriter and clawhammer banjo player based in Nashville, TN, whose music often meshes traditional Appalachian and Chinese folk tunes. Washburn's personal studies in Chinese culture and music have made their performances a dynamic multilingual and multi-instrumental experience. Their musical collaboration began with a concert as The Wu-Force at the Yugong Yishan music club in Beijing in late 2011. The Wu-Force includes Wu, Washburn, and Kai Welch on keyboard, trumpet, guitar and loop. Their first album, "Wu Fei & Abigail Washburn" (Smithsonian Folkways, 2020), combines American and Chinese folk songs, highlighting music from Appalachia and Xinjiang, China. In Fall 2007, Wu Fei's debut solo record ""A Distant Youth"" was released on Forrest Hill Records. The records also features Fred Frith (guitar), Carla Kihlstedt (violin), and Helge Andreas Norbakken (percussion). In October 2008, Wu Fei released a CD entitled ""YUAN-缘"" produced by John Zorn for Tzadik Records of her chamber compositions to be released in fall 2008. One major piece ""She Huo-社火"" featured on this new record was premiered at the "Forbidden City Concert Hall" (Beijing) with Percussions Claviers de Lyon in Spring 2007. In 2008, she relocated to New York City. Pluck was a string duo formed by Wu Fei (guzheng / vocals) and Gyan Riley (guitar) from their summer shows in New York City 2011. Their collaboration were showcased in a series of shows at The Stone, Barbès, and the Museum of Modern Art.

Edward Edwards (zoologist) Edward Edwards (23 November 1803 – 13 August 1879) was a Welsh marine zoologist. Edwards was born on 23 November 1803, at Corwen, Merionethshire, where he received his education. He started in life as a draper at Bangor, Carnarvonshire, which business he carried on until 1839, when he retired from it. In the following year he established a foundry and ironworks at Menai Bridge, which he appears to have carried on for several years with much success. In 1864, being interested in observing the forms of marine life in the waters of the Menai Strait he began to study the habits and characters of the fish in their native element. He was induced to attempt an artificial arrangement for preserving the fish in health in confinement, so as to be enabled to study their habits more closely. By an imitation of the natural conditions under which the fishes flourished, he succeeded in introducing such improvements in the construction of aquaria as enabled him to preserve the fish for an almost unlimited period without change of water. His most notable improvement was his 'dark-water chamber slope-back tank,' the result of a close study of the rock pools, with their fissures and chasms, in the rocks on the shores of the Menai Strait. This improvement retarded for a long time the falling off in the taste for domestic aquaria, and the principle of Edwards's tank was most successfully adopted in all the large establishments of this country, and in many of the continental and American zoological schools. To the pursuit of this interesting branch of natural history Edwards devoted the last years of his life, dying, at the age of seventy-five, on 13 August 1879, after an attack of paralysis.

Alfred J. Kwak The series has been broadcast in many countries and has been dubbed and subtitled in Dutch, French, Japanese, Greek, English, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, Hungarian, Finnish, Serbian, Polish, German, Swedish, Danish, Icelandic, Chinese, Czech, Romanian, Korean and Norwegian. In 1991, Herman van Veen won the Goldene Kamera award for the cartoon. Alfred J. Kwak was born as the son of Johan Sebastian and Anna Kwak. Some time after his birth, Alfred loses his parents and his brothers and sisters after a car hits them. Henk the mole, a good friend of the Kwak family, raises the little orphan duck. Alfred experiences a lot of adventures. Unlike many other cartoons targeted for children, "Alfred J. Kwak" features exceptionally mature and often dark themes. Amongst others it deals with different social and political issues, such as abuse of power, but also raises important values such as friendship and solidarity. The cartoon is also notable for the political themes on which it touches. In the cartoon, Alfred fights against a fascist dictator, takes in refugees fleeing from a country under Apartheid (with white geese and black ducks), saves whales against hunters, and oversees the changeover of his country from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected president. Such themes are far from typical in a children's cartoon, and form a big part of "Alfred J. Kwak"'s appeal. Other episodes have satirised the Japanese love of golf, and criticised countries which have sharp north/south economic divides. The cartoon is also unusual for the subtlety of its long-term narrative. In most children's cartoons, the characters do not age. In "Alfred J. Kwak", we see the progress of the main characters from very young children to adulthood as the series advances. This is particularly striking in the character of Dolf, who is initially a mere schoolboy, but who, as time passes, becomes a criminal and a dictator. The time setting of the cartoon is somewhat surreal. On the whole the technology and dress of most characters seems appropriate to the late 20th century, and yet Alfred and Paljas/Boffin often travel in a spaceship with a technology far more advanced than that, while many characters such as the king's staff, Scratchpaws the cat, and Dolf in his Napoleonic incarnation wear clothes more appropriate to previous ages.

Byczyna, Pomeranian Voivodeship Byczyna () is a settlement in Gmina Miastko, Bytów County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, on the border with West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It lies approximately south-west of Bytów and south-west of Gdańsk (capital city of the Pomeranian Voivodeship). From 1975 to 1998 the village was in Słupsk Voivodeship.

Jean-Michel Mension Jean-Michel Mension (24 September 1934 – 6 May 2006) was a French radical active in the Lettrist International, from which he was expelled as "merely decorative", and the Ligue Communiste. Mension was the son of Paris-born Communist Party activists who were active in the resistance during the Nazi occupation of Paris. Mension described the life of the Lettrist group and their associates in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 1952–1954, in a book-length collection of conversations with Gerard Berreby and Francesco Milo, "The Tribe". For a period, he was a close associate of Guy Debord, founder of the Lettrist International and later of the Situationist International, and wrote several texts for the Lettrist International journal "Potlatch". Mension appears in photographs taken by the Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken and published in his book "Een liefdesgeschiedenis in Saint Germain des Prés" (1956): "(He) turned himself into a living poster and paraded through the streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés with cryptic slogans scrawled up and down his pants...A few days later, Mension and Fred got drunk, streaked their hair with peroxide, and stumbled through the quarter slapping female shoppers and picking fights with businessmen." Some commentators have detected a prototype of punk outrage in Mension's style and behavior.

Lucius Marcius Celer Marcus Calpurnius Longus Lucius Marcius Celer Marcus Calpurnius Longus was a Roman senator, who was active during the second century AD. He was suffect consul in the last "nundinium" of 144 with Decimus Velius Fidus as his colleague. Longus is known entirely from inscriptions. There has been a disagreement over the evidence of Calpurnius Longus' life since Edmund Groag first set forth the facts of his existence in his last book, a prosopography of the proconsuls of Achaea. The most recent investigation of his life was by Giuseppe Camodeca, who established a time line of his life up to his suffect consulship, which he dated to 148. Unfortunately, Camodeca was unaware that Werner Eck had published a military diploma that securely dated Calpurnius Longus' tenure in that magistracy to 144. Accordingly, all dates taken from Camodeca's article for Calpurnius Longus' life below are adjusted four years earlier. The earliest office attested for Calpurnius Longus was "quattuorviri viarum curandarum", or one of the four overseers of street maintenance in Rome, one of the magistracies that comprised the "vigintiviri"; membership in one of these four boards was a preliminary and required first step toward a gaining entry into the Roman Senate. This is dated as between the years 117 and 120. He is next attested as military tribune of Legio I Italica, which was stationed at the time in Moesia; this is dated between the years 121 and 125. We can conclude Calpurnius Longus was appointed quaestor, for completion of this traditional Republican magistracy was the usual manner men were enrolled in the Roman Senate. Although we can safely surmise he held the next two steps of the traditional Republican magistracies -- either plebeian tribune or aedile, then praetor -- where his next attested office, "legatus proconsularis" or assistant to the proconsul, of Bithynia and Pontus fit in: although during the second century the duties "legatus proconsularis" was often assumed after a Senator was praetor, there are examples of men assuming these duties before acceding to that rank. Nonetheless, it is estimated Calpurnius Longus was "legatus proconsularis" around 136.

Areas with bush (i.e. native forest) are found in both the North Island and the South Island, some of it bordering towns and cities, but the majority of bush is found in large national parks. Examples of predominantly bush clad areas are Whanganui National Park, on Taranaki volcano, on which the bush extends in a uniformly circular shape to the surrounding farmland, and Fiordland in the South Island. Much of Stewart Island/Rakiura is bush-covered. In the North Island, the largest areas of bush cover the main ranges stretching north-northeast from Wellington towards East Cape, notably including the Urewera Ranges, and the catchment of the Whanganui River. Significant stands remain in Northland and the ranges running south from the Coromandel Peninsula towards Ruapehu, and isolated remnants cap various volcanoes in Taranaki, the Waikato, the Bay of Plenty and the Hauraki Gulf. From the word comes many phrases including: In South Africa, the term () has specific connotations of rural areas which are not open veldt. Generally, it refers to areas in the north of the country that would be called savanna. "Going to The Bush" ("Bos toe Gaan") often refers to going to a game park or game reserve. Areas most commonly referred to as The Bush are the Mpumalanga and Limpopo Lowveld, The Limpopo River Valley, northern KwaZulu-Natal or any other similar area of wilderness. The Bush in Alaska is generally described as any community not "on the road system", making it accessible only by more elaborate transportation. Usage is similar in Canada; it is called "la brousse," if you are French or colloquially "Le Bois," in Canadian French. In northern Canada, “the bush” refers to the massive expanse of primarily coniferous trees that sprawl undeveloped. The term is not generally used in the southern parts of the country. The term "to go bush" has several similar meanings all connected with the supposed wildness of the bush. It can mean to revert to a feral nature (or to "go native"), and it can also mean to deliberately leave normal surroundings and live rough, with connotations of cutting off communication with the outside world – often as a means of evading capture or questioning by the police. The term "bushwhacker" is used in Australia and New Zealand to mean someone who spends his or her time in the bush.

Kherson oat Kherson oat is a spring oat. In 1896, this kind of oat was introduced to the United States from Southern Russia by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station although its origin is unknown. In 1919, it was grown in about three million acres. Not many oat varieties in the United States are better than the Kherson in economic importance or in prospective value. It is one of the most distributed early choices, especially in the Corn Belt and the central section of the Great Plains area. It was put through an experiment to decide whether the Sixty Day oat or the Kherson oat was better for the country. For the two years, that Kherson oat was studied and yielded, it was averaged slightly better than other kinds.

Sand Lake Road station Sand Lake Road station is a train station in the Pine Castle area of Orange County, Florida. The station serves SunRail, the commuter rail service of Central Florida.

Corybas dentatus Corybas dentatus, commonly known as the Lofty Ranges helmet orchid, is a species of terrestrial orchid endemic to South Australia. It has a more or less round leaf and a single purplish and green flower. It is only known from two locations and is listed as "vulnerable" under the "Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act". "Corybas dentatus" is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with a broad egg-shaped, heart-shaped or almost round leaf long and wide. The leaf is green on the upper surface and silvery green on the lower side. A single purplish and green flower long and wide is borne on a short flowering stem. The largest part of the flower is the dorsal sepal which is long and wide. It is pinkish grey with dark purple markings and forms a hood over the labellum. The lateral sepals are whitish, linear to lance-shaped, about long, and wide and spread widely apart from each other. The petals are lance-shaped, about long, wide and curved. The labellum is dark purple, tube-shaped near its base, about long, before curving and flattening into a broad egg-shaped flat long and wide with teeth on the edges. Flowering occurs in July and August. "Corybas dentatus" was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones from a specimen collected in the Sandy Crrek Conservation Park and the description was published in "Australian Orchid Research". The specific epithet ("dentatus") is a Latin word meaning "toothed" or "pointed", referring to the prominent teeth on the edges of the labellum. In 2002, David Jones and Mark Clements proposed splitting "Corybas" into smaller genera and placing this species into "Corysanthes" but the change has not been widely accepted. The Lofty Ranges helmet orchid grows in open forest and woodland with low shrubs and ferns. It is known from two populations, the larger of which is in the Sandy Creek Conservation Park. "Corybas dentatus" is classified as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government "Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999". The main threats to the species are road and track maintenance, weed invasion, herbicide spraying and population fragmentation.

"Amphitrite" carried out her gunnery training until departing New Bedford on 5 October for the Boston Navy Yard, where she underwent repairs from 7 October-14 November. Receiving drafts of men for gunnery class at Tompkinsville and Norfolk, the monitor proceeded back to Port Royal, arriving there on 29 November. Outside a brief port visit to Brunswick, Ga., from 28 January-6 February 1901, "Amphitrite" remained at Port Royal until 10 May, when she sailed for Norfolk and Tompkinsville, arriving at the latter on 3 June, en route back to her ultimate destination of New Bedford. "Amphitrite" continued the important work of training gun captains through the summer and into the fall. Deemed in need of a general overhaul, "Amphitrite" was placed out of commission at the Boston Navy Yard on 30 November 1901. Recommissioned at Boston on 1 December 1902, Lt. Comdr. Edwin H. Tellman in command, "Amphitrite" was ordered to the Naval Training Station at Newport, for duty, on 10 January 1903.

Traders attributed the sudden recovery to an intervention by the Korean and Taiwanese governments. For the first time in 5 months (since March 2011), the Australian Dollar fell below parity with the US Dollar to 99.28¢ before recovering to 101.85¢ in afternoon trade (but 1.5% below Monday's close), seeing the Australian Dollar's longest losing streak since the currency was floated in 1983.

Fujiwara no Yoshifusa , also known as "Somedono no Daijin" or "Shirakawa-dono", was a Japanese statesman, courtier and politician during the Heian period. When Yoshifusa's grandson was enthroned as Emperor Seiwa, Yoshifusa assumed the role of regent ("sesshō") for the young monarch. He was the first "sesshō" in Japanese history who was not himself of imperial rank; and he was the first of a series of regents from the Fujiwara clan. He was a minister during the reigns of Emperor Ninmyō, Emperor Montoku and Emperor Seiwa. Yoshifusa conceived the programme of boy-sovereigns with Fujiwara regents; and his adopted son, Mototsune, carried out the plans. This member of the Fujiwara clan was the son of Fujiwara no Fuyutsugu. Yoshifusa's brothers were Fujiwara no Nagayoshi, Fujiwara no Yoshisuke and Fujiwara no Yoshikado. He was married to Minamoto no Kiyohime (源 潔姫), daughter of Emperor Saga. They had only one daughter. He adopted his brother Nagara's third son. Yoshifusa is referred to as "Chūjin Kō" (忠仁公) (posthumous title was Daijō Daijin).

Ernie Fernández Ernesto "Ernie" Fernández (born 8 June 1960) is a former professional tennis player from Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican played collegiate tennis at the Ohio State University and was the singles champion of the Big Ten Conference in 1979, 1981 and 1982, just the third player in history to be a triple winner. He was also a dual NCAA All-American, in 1980 and 1981. In the 1981 US Open, his only appearance in the singles draw at a Grand Slam, Fernández was beaten in the first round by Gilles Moretton, but managed to take the match to a fifth set. His best performances on the Grand Prix tennis circuit included reaching the quarter-finals at Cleveland in 1981 and wins over both Mike Bauer and Vitas Gerulaitis in the 1984 Congoleum Classic. Fernández was most prominent on the doubles tour and reached two Grand Prix finals. With Gary Donnelly, Fernández was runner-up at Forest Hills in 1984 and later that year lost another final, in Boston, partnering David Pate. He teamed up with Ricardo Acuña to reach the third round of the 1985 US Open, which was the furthest he would go in a Grand Slam. Puerto Rico didn't start competing in the Davis Cup tennis until 1992, six years after Fernández last appeared on tour. However, in 1997, he came out of retirement and spent two years playing for the Puerto Rico Davis Cup team. He took part in five ties and played eight rubbers, of which he won three.

Hyde leased the grounds as tenant in 1872 and six years later in July 1878 Kempton opened as a racecourse. This was the feudal lord's demesne of a manor recorded in the Domesday Book and has had at least four variant names but though early Victorian gateposts exist, no buildings of the manor house remain. The site briefly closed (2 May 2005 – 25 March 2006) to reopen with a new all-weather polytrack (synthetic material) main track and floodlighting to enable racing at all light levels and all but the most severe bad weather. Flat racing from 2006 is run on the synthetic track so the historic "Jubilee Course", a mile long spur which joined the main track by the home bend, used for the "Jubilee Handicap" which parred the Cambridgeshire and the Stewards' Cup in seniority, was abandoned. It is now overgrown for racing; however, it joins the outskirts of the park as part of the green belt. On 10 January 2017 the Jockey Club announced the closure of the 230-acre site by 2021 for a total of £500  million investment programme over a 10-year period that was submitted for consideration following the local authority's 'Call for Sites' to address unmet local housing needs. The plan includes the move of some important jumps races like the King George VI Chase and Christmas Hurdle to the Sandown Park Racecourse with the other jumps fixtures to be spread around other Jockey Club-owned racecourses throughout the country, while the all-weather track to be replaced by a new artificial track to be built at Newmarket. Kempton Park stages National Hunt racing (with fences) and flat racing, with the most famous race being the King George VI Chase held every Boxing Day, a prestigious Grade 1 race. Associated, the Kauto Star Novices' Chase (formerly the Feltham Novices' Chase) also takes place on Boxing Day, a Grade 1 race. With similar challenges, past winners of the Kauto Star Novices' Chase and of the King George VI Chase include Kauto Star and Long Run; the following day is the Desert Orchid Chase, a Grade 2 race. Approximately the last weekend of February hosts the Betway Handicap Chase. Early September hosts the Sirenia Stakes major race day. In addition to racing, the site is home to a weekly market on Thursdays, holds an antiques market on the second and last Tuesday of every month and seasonal wedding fairs.

Carl Bradford Carl Thomas Bradford (born August 15, 1992) is an American football linebacker for the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL. He played college football at Arizona State, and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He has also been a member of the San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, and Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL; the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL; and the Arizona Hotshots of the AAF. Bradford attended Norco High School in Norco, California. While there, he was coached by Todd Gerhart, father of 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart.

Additionally, he averaged 35.3 yards per reception and had four games with over 100 rushing yards. The best game of his high school career came against Corona High School, in which he had 136 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns, and caught two touchdown passes. He was named to the All-West-Legion list by Prepstar. Coming out of high school, Bradford was measured at six-foot-one inches and weighed 220 pounds. He was given a three-star ranking from Rivals.com and was ranked as the 16th best linebacker in the state of California, and ranked 61st overall. He received athletic scholarship offers from Arizona State and San Diego State, while also receiving interest from California, Tennessee, UCLA, and Washington. Bradford decided to sign his letter of intent with Arizona State University and received a redshirt designation his first year on campus. Even so, he earned Hard Hat Player designation for his work in the off-season strength and conditioning program. During his first year on the field as a redshirt sophomore, Bradford played on special teams and alternated on defense between linebacker and defensive end. He played in all 13 games.

Terry Baxter Terry Clinton Baxter (born September 26, 1957) is an American politician in the state of Iowa. He was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives in 2014.

However, he failed to fill the position. He served in the Arkansas Senate a second time, from 1871 to 1872. He then served as the Sheriff of Chicot County from 1872 to 1874. In the summer of 1873, he was arrested under the suspicion of inciting a race war in the county. However, the judge, Colonel John A. Williams, dismissed the trial. He married Rachel, who was also of mixed race. They had a daughter, Fannie. Mason died in 1875. Geometry of Fear The Geometry of Fear was an informal group or school of young British sculptors in the years after the Second World War. The term was coined by Herbert Read in 1952 in his description of the work of the eight British artists represented in the "New Aspects of British Sculpture" exhibition at the Biennale di Venezia of 1952. The eight artists who exhibited "New Aspects of British Sculpture" in the British pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia of 1952 were Robert Adams, Kenneth Armitage, Reg Butler, Lynn Chadwick, Geoffrey Clarke, Bernard Meadows, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull. All were under 40, with years of birth ranging from 1913 to 1924, and of a younger generation than established British sculptors such as Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. A large bronze by Moore, "Double Standing Figure", stood outside the British pavilion, and contrasted strongly with the works inside. Unlike the smoothly carved work of Hepworth and Moore, these were angular, jagged, rough-textured or spiky. They were more linear and open; Philip Hendy compared Butler's sculptures to three-dimensional drawings. Many of the sculptures in the pavilion were of human or animal figures, and several showed the influence of the continental sculptors Germaine Richier and Alberto Giacometti, works by whom had been shown at the Anglo-French Art Centre in London in 1947. The British sculptures were seen as reflecting the angst, the anxieties and the guilt of the immediate post-War period, with the recent memory of the War, the Holocaust and Hiroshima, and the fear of nuclear proliferation and the effects of the Cold War. In his catalogue description, Herbert Read wrote: Read's quotation "scuttling across the floors of silent seas" is from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot and is a reference to "Crab", a sculpture by Bernard Meadows in the exhibition.

Besides, it also has 1575 professional master's degree students, 110 post-doctoral fellows and 134 guest professors. USTC has been likened to the Caltech of China "due to its dominant leadership position in scientific research, elite undergraduate education, and rigorous academic programs" . There are five campuses: East, South, West, North and Center Campus. The campuses cover an area of 1.46 million square metres (), with of building area. The library has a collection of 1.73 million books, 3000 kinds of journal in the language of Chinese, 4000 kinds of English, 600,000 electronic books and 20,000 electronic journals in Chinese or in English. A first-class campus computer network is running within the campus. Five public experimental centers for teaching and research are under construction, namely the Center of Physical Science, Life Science, Information Science, Engineering and Material Science, and Application of Synchrotron Radiation. The school hospital, is a specific attachment to the university, and holds the aim of providing such services as disease prevention, health care, treatment and health education for the teaching staff and the students. After over forty years of development and construction, the hospital has been steadily expanded, the level of treatment has continuously improved, and the equipment has constantly been upgraded. The hospital covers 5,200 m2, with 110 beds and more than 110 employees. The hospital is committed to the treatment and health care services for over 10,000 students, about 3,000 teachers and more than 700 retired employees, plus the families of the employees who live on the campus, which adds up to more than 20,000 people. A branch hospital and an outpatient department have been established separately on the west and the south campuses that are also centers for students' living and studying activities. The medical personnel are on duty around the clock for the convenience of the people. In addition to carrying out daily diagnosis and treatment, the school hospital also, according to the college hygiene regulations, undertakes physical examination services under the principle of prevention. It is already a convention for students to take physical examinations both after their entrance and before graduation, and another check during their college years. Physical examinations are given every two years for school personnel and those who have retired. To fulfill the demands of the science-major students for medical knowledge, the corresponding doctors of the school hospital have compiled a book titled Health Education for College Students, which, as the textbook for the selective course of health education, illuminates medical knowledge systematically from various angles. In recent years, this course has been taken by increasing numbers of students, and the title "advanced collective" has been bestowed on the hospital by the education authorities.

Sabalan Metro Station Sabalan Metro Station is a station in Tehran Metro Line 2. It is located in the junction of Ayatollah Madani Avenue and Sabalan Street. It is between Fadak Metro Station and Shahid Madani Metro Station.

But calling for a more peaceful Islam he praised the title of the film saying, " I love the title [of the movie] but when defined differently. We need to have jihad against extremism in society so we can learn to love the sinning person that is struggling, even though we hate their sin. And so, I too, call for a jihad for love". The New York Times said "After "Jihad," Mr. Sharma was labeled an infidel, and in the intervening years, he has gotten more death threats than he cares to recall." The fatwa's calling for Sharma's death and just the death threats and hate email continued up until Sharma's next project, A Sinner in Mecca, when they were renewed again. Sharma went on to appear widely in the news media to defend and explain the thesis of the film, which according to him reclaimed the meaning of Jihad and was not an anti-Islam film. The New Yorker said, "Sharma, the filmmaker, grew up twenty minutes from the Darul Uloom, an important center of Islamic learning in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India. Aware of his sexual orientation since puberty, he said the center's daily calls to prayer haunted him. He came to the United States in 2000, but still faces discrimination. "I attend the Ninety-sixth Street mosque, in Manhattan," he told me. "You can't imagine the kind of sermons I've heard." Sharma has responded to the challenges and contradictions by making documentaries. "A Jihad for Love," released in 2007, explores the secret lives of gay Muslims in twelve countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, Bangladesh, and Turkey." The film producer Sandi DuBowski and Director/ Producer Parvez Sharma launched the International Muslim Dialogue Project in 2008. Part of the aim for the project was to organize screenings of the film in Muslim Capitals. Sharma called it the "Underground Network Model" of film distribution. He invented this model sending unmarked DVD's of the film with friends and colleagues to Muslim capitals across the world with full permission to sell pirated copies. Some of the boldest were Beirut, Cairo, Karachi, eight cities in Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur. In a feature titled, ""How Parvez Sharma made a Jihad for Love"" the U.S. based New York magazine said on May 18, 2008 "As such, Sharma says his ideal audience is faithful Muslims—and not just "gay white men or activists." To reach them, he's "smuggled tapes into Iran and Pakistan," leafleted mosques, blanketed MySpace, and "hosted a screening at a home in Astoria for fifteen key progressive Muslim leaders."

Data access layer A data access layer (DAL) in computer software is a layer of a computer program which provides simplified access to data stored in persistent storage of some kind, such as an entity-relational database. This acronym is prevalently used in Microsoft environments. For example, the DAL might return a reference to an object (in terms of object-oriented programming) complete with its attributes instead of a row of fields from a database table. This allows the client (or user) modules to be created with a higher level of abstraction. This kind of model could be implemented by creating a class of data access methods that directly reference a corresponding set of database stored procedures. Another implementation could potentially retrieve or write records to or from a file system. The DAL hides this complexity of the underlying data store from the external world. For example, instead of using commands such as "insert", "delete", and "update" to access a specific table in a database, a class and a few stored procedures could be created in the database. The procedures would be called from a method inside the class, which would return an object containing the requested values. Or, the insert, delete and update commands could be executed within simple functions like "registeruser" or "loginuser" stored within the data access layer. Also, business logic methods from an application can be mapped to the Data Access Layer. So, for example, instead of making a query into a database to fetch all users from several tables the application can call a single method from a DAL which abstracts those database calls. Applications using a data access layer can be either database server dependent or independent. If the data access layer supports multiple database types, the application becomes able to use whatever databases the DAL can talk to. In either circumstance, having a data access layer provides a centralized location for all calls into the database, and thus makes it easier to port the application to other database systems (assuming that 100% of the database interaction is done in the DAL for a given application). Object-Relational Mapping tools provide data layers in this fashion, following the Active Record or Data Mapper patterns. The ORM/active-record model is popular with web frameworks.

Cilla (TV series) Cilla was a BBC TV programme hosted by British singer Cilla Black. It ran for eight series from 30 January 1968 to 17 April 1976. Then-British singing star Cilla Black was offered her own show on the BBC, to be eponymously called "Cilla", by Bill Cotton in 1967. Cotton was then Assistant Head of Light Entertainment. The first series of the show started broadcasting on Tuesday, 30 January 1968, on the first show of which Black's guest was Tom Jones and the two music stars sang a duet together. Paul McCartney (without Lennon) wrote the theme tune entitled "Step Inside Love", which became another chart success for Black (this song was later covered by Madeline Bell). The series featured guest appearances by many stars of the era, including Henry Mancini, Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Charles Aznavour, Matt Monro, Sacha Distel, Donovan, Georgie Fame, Ethel Merman, the Shadows and Phil Everly. This success paved the way for a lengthy television career for Black, which continued until 2003. Black began the 1970s by appearing on the BBC's highly rated review of the sixties music scene "Pop Go The Sixties", performing "Anyone Who Had a Heart" on the show, broadcast across Europe and BBC1, on 31 December 1969. Like many of her contemporaries during the 1970s, Black's musical career later declined. She toured often but became increasingly thought of as a television personality. But her BBC series "Cilla" ran for almost a decade, racking up eight seasons between January 1968 and April 1976. The theme songs from the "Cilla" series were also successful. "Step Inside Love" opened the series for the runs for the first four series from 1968 to early 1971 and reached number 8 in the UK singles chart on its release. "Something Tells Me (Something's Gonna Happen Tonight)" was the theme for the late 1971 and 1973 shows, reaching number 3 and becoming Black's last top-ten success. "Baby, We Can't Go Wrong" was used for the 1974 series and was a minor success, reaching number 36, Black's last UK chart song until 1993. The final series in 1976 used the song "It's Now", which was included as a B-Side of "Little Things Mean A Lot", which failed to chart. The UK's "Eurovision Song Contest" entry selection process was part of the "Cilla" show in both 1968 and 1973, when Black's close friend Cliff Richard was the featured artist performing all the songs shortlisted in the "A Song For Europe" segment.

In 1890 he graduated from Kiev University, then spent two years on a scholarship in Berlin, and in 1896 received a doctorate from the University of St. Petersburg. At the latter university he served from 1897 to 1917 as a professor of the philosophy of law. In 1906 Petrażycki was elected to the ill-fated First Duma as a member of the Constitutional Democratic Party. When the legislature was dissolved after a few months, he was convicted and incarcerated for his protests. He was appointed to the Supreme Court of Russia in 1917, but had to flee the country when the Bolshevik revolution succeeded. He found a new home in Poland and became the first professor of sociology at Warsaw University in 1919. A prolific writer in several languages and famous lecturer with a large following of students, Petrażycki committed suicide in 1931. However, Petrażycki's contribution to legal sociology and legal theory continues to be debated within various fields of legal research and applied to the study of current legal problems. Petrażycki published many books in Russian, German, and Polish early in life. Unfortunately, many of his late ideas were preserved only in lecture notes taken by his students. Even in Poland, his work is only partly known. English speakers still largely rely on a compilation of Petrażycki's writings edited by the Russian-American sociologist Nicholas S. Timasheff in 1955. Despite some recent efforts to introduce and revive his work, it is still largely unknown in the West. Petrażycki conceives of law as an empirical, psychological phenomenon that can best be studied by introspection. According to him, law takes the form of legal experiences (emotions, impulsions) implying a two-sided relationship between a right on the one hand and a duty on the other hand. If this legal experience refers to normative facts in a broad sense (statutes, court decisions, but also contracts, customs, commands of any sort) he calls it "positive law"; if it lacks such reference, he talks of "intuitive law".

Governor of Aksaray The Governor of Aksaray (Turkish: "Aksaray Valiliği") is the bureaucratic state official responsible for both national government and state affairs in the Province of Aksaray. Similar to the Governors of the 80 other Provinces of Turkey, the Governor of Aksaray is appointed by the Government of Turkey and is responsible for the implementation of government legislation within Aksaray. The Governor is also the most senior commander of both the Aksaray provincial police force and the Aksaray Gendarmerie. The Governor of Aksaray is appointed by the President of Turkey, who confirms the appointment after recommendation from the Turkish Government. The Ministry of the Interior first considers and puts forward possible candidates for approval by the cabinet. The Governor of Aksaray is therefore not a directly elected position and instead functions as the most senior civil servant in the Province of Aksaray. The Governor is not limited by any term limits and does not serve for a set length of time. Instead, the Governor serves at the pleasure of the Government, which can appoint or reposition the Governor whenever it sees fit. Such decisions are again made by the cabinet of Turkey. The Governor of Aksaray, as a civil servant, may not have any close connections or prior experience in Aksaray Province. It is not unusual for Governors to alternate between several different Provinces during their bureaucratic career. The Governor of Aksaray has both bureaucratic functions and influence over local government. The main role of the Governor is to oversee the implementation of decisions by government ministries, constitutional requirements and legislation passed by Grand National Assembly within the provincial borders. The Governor also has the power to reassign, remove or appoint officials a certain number of public offices and has the right to alter the role of certain public institutions if they see fit. Governors are also the most senior public official within the Province, meaning that they preside over any public ceremonies or provincial celebrations being held due to a national holiday. As the commander of the provincial police and Gendarmerie forces, the Governor can also take decisions designed to limit civil disobedience and preserve public order. Although mayors of municipalities and councillors are elected during local elections, the Governor has the right to re-organise or to inspect the proceedings of local government despite being an unelected position.

Purdon's Pennsylvania Statutes Purdon's Pennsylvania Statutes is an unofficial consolidation of the statutes of Pennsylvania. The state's statutes are organized into 79 topic groups, ranging from "Aeronautics" to "Zoning," spread across 107 volumes. An alternate publication, "Purdon's Pennsylvania Statutes Annotated," includes the text of statutes, as well as cross-references, footnotes, and commentary developed over two centuries. The annotated version is comparable to the "United States Code Annotated." In 2007, the Pennsylvania General Assembly struck a deal with Thomson West to post an unofficial version of the statutes for free online, making it the last state to freely provide its statutes online.

First Oil Well, Bahrain As its name suggests, it is the first oil well in the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf and is located in Bahrain. The well is situated below Jebel Dukhan. It was discovered and operated by Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO), established in 1929 in Canada by Standard Oil Company of California. Oil first spurted from this well on 16 October 1931, and the well finally began to blow heads of oil on the morning of 2 June 1932. The initial oil flow rate was ; by the 1970s the well produced , and after that it stabilized at about . In 1980, BAPCO was taken over by the Government of Bahrain. Close to the well, which has been reconstructed to its first appearance, is a stable. Bahrain was the first place on the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf where oil was discovered, and it coincided with the collapse of the world pearl market.

There are 16 total sites with 4 teams playing at each site. On Monday May 25, 2009 the NCAA released the post-season bracket for the 2009 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. LSU was announced as the No. 3 overall seed in the tournament. LSU began NCAA tournament play on Friday May 29 against the Southern Jaguars. It didn't take long for Southern to establish a lead. Southern led the game off with a single, followed by a home run to take an early 2–0 lead. Southern held onto the 2–0 lead until LSU was able to plate a single run in the bottom of the 6th. The 2–1 lead would hold only for an inning, as LSU plated 7 runs in the bottom of the seventh to take control of the game. Southern received an excellent outing from starting pitcher Chase Richard who went 6.2 innings giving up 7 hits and allowing 3 runs, 2 earned. LSU would add 2 more runs in the 8th and close out Game 1 of the regional with a 10–2 win. The super regional round of the 2009 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament was played from June 5 through June 8 at 8 different sites. The host sites were Austin, Baton Rouge, Chapel Hill, Fullerton, Gainesville, Oxford, Tallahassee, and Tempe. As a result of earning the No. 3 overall seed and winning the Baton Rouge Regional, LSU hosted the Rice Owls who advanced out of the Houston Regional. Game 1 was played on Friday June 5, while Game 2 was played the following day on Saturday June 6. Game 1 of the Baton Rouge super regional featured two dominant right-handed pitchers. LSU handed the ball to sophomore Anthony Ranaudo, while Rice sent junior Mike Ojala to the mound. Rice was able to take the lead early off multiple LSU errors. Rice scored 2 unearned runs in the 2nd and another unearned run in the 4th. LSU would finally get on the board in bottom of the 4th, scoring a single run, but Rice got the run back in the 5th on a solo home run by Steven Sultzbaugh. With half the game complete, Rice held onto a 4–1 lead, but the bottom of the 5th proved to be the turning point. Rice pulled Ojala in favor of Taylor Wall with runners on second and third, no outs and a run already across the plate. Wall was brought in to face lefty Ryan Schimpf, but the move proved to be a costly one.

She made her second video game appearance in the 2001 fighting game "Capcom vs. SNK 2", using many of the same techniques from "Final Fight 2" as part of her move-set. Maki has also been featured as a trading card in "" and "Card Fighter DS". The "Capcom vs. SNK 2" version of her character was also featured in the portable versions of "Street Fighter Alpha 3" released for the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation Portable. The American "Street Fighter" animated series featured an episode based on "Final Fight" and titled after the game, which aired during the shows second season. Adapting the plot of the game, the "Final Fight" episode centered on Cody and Guy teaming up with leading "Street Fighter" characters Ryu and Ken to rescue Jessica from the Mad Gear Gang. Although, Guy and Cody were both characters in the "Street Fighter" series, the episode actually predates Cody's first appearance in the series as a playable character in "Street Fighter Alpha 3" and depicts him in his character design from "Final Fight". The episode is included as unlockable content in "Final Fight: Double Impact". An episode of the 1991 Nickelodeon hidden camera show "What Would You Do?" featured a "Final Fight" kiosk which distracted kids by mentioning personal information about them. Maki Genryusai appears in 1996 manga "Sakura Ganbaru!" as one of several rivals the titular character Sakura Kasugano (from "Street Fighter Alpha 2") encounters. The "Street Fighter II Turbo" comic book by UDON Entertainment features a supplemental story arc spanning issues 6 and 7 centering on the "Final Fight" characters who were featured in the "Street Fighter" series. The actor Robin Williams stated that he named his son Cody Williams after a video game character, which is believed to be Cody from "Final Fight". In 2010, "Game Informer" included it on the list of ten gaming franchises that should be revived, adding: "It's one of many sidescrolling beat-em-ups we'd love to see return, but it's also one of the best."

2018–19 Toronto Maple Leafs season The 2018–19 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the 102nd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on November 22, 1917. The Maple Leafs forward group changed significantly before the season, losing team veterans Tyler Bozak, James van Riemsdyk and Leo Komarov while adding all-star centre John Tavares in free agency, which many publications called one of the biggest signings in NHL history. On April 1, 2019, the Maple Leafs clinched a playoff spot after a 2–1 win over the New York Islanders. The Maple Leafs faced the Boston Bruins in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year, where they lost in seven games. The Maple Leafs faced the Boston Bruins in the First Round of the playoffs, and were defeated in seven games. They played against each other in the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs, where the Maple Leafs lost to the Bruins in the First Round in seven games.

The Maple Leafs have been involved in the following transactions during the 2018–19 season. Below are the Toronto Maple Leafs' selections at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, which was held on June 22 and 23, 2018, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The Leafs drafted a total of nine players. They held on to only three (rounds 4, 5, 7) of their own seven picks. On the first day of the draft they exchanged their first-round pick for a lower first-round pick held by the St. Louis Blues but did receive the Blues' third-round pick as well, their second round pick had been traded to the Montreal Canadiens in the Tomas Plekanec deal in February 2018, their third-round pick was given to the New Jersey Devils as compensation for signing general manager Lou Lamoriello in 2015, and their sixth-round pick had been traded to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Calvin Pickard deal in October 2017. Through various trades they acquired an additional six picks, including the first-round pick originally held by St. Louis mentioned above. Notes:

Cieli di Toscana Cieli di Toscana (Tuscan Skies) is Andrea Bocelli's eighth studio album, released in 2001. Released in October 2001, the album spent a total of two weeks at No. 3 on the official UK albums chart, the highest chart position ever for a foreign-language pop album, and reached the top 5 in over 10 other countries. "Tuscan Skies", a "DVD" of music videos of most of the songs of the album, was released the following year. Cieli di Toscana sold millions of copies in a few weeks after its release, and quickly become the biggest selling album in the world in 2001, No. 1 on the CNN Worldbeat Global Album Chart. In the United States, the album peaked at No. 11 on the "Billboard" 200 chart, with 85,000 units sold in its first week, and blew through 177,000 copies over Christmas week of 2001, Bocelli's best sales week in America, at the time. That record stood for the following 8 years, until "My Christmas", Bocelli's first Holiday album, was released in late 2009 and achieved better sales weeks. The album performed better on six consecutive weeks during the Holiday season, with 185,000, 218,000, 428,000, 400,000, 390,000, and 284,000 copies sold on each, in the United States. The album topped the charts in Sweden and the Netherlands, and reached the top 3 in at least 8 other countries, including the UK, where it spent two weeks at No. 3 on the albums chart, Bocelli's highest chart position in the country to date, and the highest chart position ever for a foreign-language pop album. Music videos of 10 songs of the album were filmed in Tuscany, in 2001. "Tuscan Skies (Cieli di Toscana)" a "DVD" containing those videos was released January 15, 2002.

There were 29 recordings of Nino Rota's music on the market by April 1972, specifically the songs recorded were "The Godfather Waltz", "Speak Softly Love," and "Love Theme from The Godfather." It was expected more recordings would be hitting the market as the year went on. The soundtrack was well received by music critics. The United Press International's William D. Laffler wrote that the "Main Title" was a "haunting piece of music which generates nostalgic longing for things past and a foreboding underlying theme." He felt that the soundtrack grows on the listener with each play and predicted it would become one of the biggest sellers in the calendar year. William J. Knittle, Jr. of the "Daily News–Post" felt Rota's titular theme was why "The Godfather" was "close to being the perfect American film." He continued by stating Rota broke from his "usual lush string tour de force." He felt the music was "meaningful and involving," while the use of cello and cornet solos demonstrated the isolation and insulation of the Corleone family. He closed by saying the music showed Italian influence and had a natural progression. The "Journal and Courier"'s Bernard Drew felt Rota's musical pieces were haunting and "bridged gaps and served as a reminder of how things were." Harry Haun of "The Tennessean" described Rota's score as "baleful," but felt it kept with the pace of the movie well. Peter Barsocchini who wrote for "The Times" wrote that "The Godfather" soundtrack was able to stand on its own. He elaborated on the soundtrack stating it was "extremely evocative" and that it kept with the time period the movie was set. He did state that the soundtrack was "rich and interesting, without, except for one cut (the vocal by Al Martino), being at all typed." He felt the "Main Title" was the best track on the album because: "It is at once chilling and plaintive and nostalgic, but it also evokes the humanity of The Godfather, gives the image of a man instead of a ruthless monster, which is a brilliant composition." Barsocchini wrote that "The Halls of Fear" explored the concept of fear well in an a-melodramatic way. He summed up the album by stating it was worthy of one's attention even if not interested in the film. "Detroit Free Press"'s Bob Talbert described Rota's score as "right on the money" and "[captured] the feel of the '40s and the power of Marlon Brando."

BGL (artists) BGL is an artist collective composed of Jasmin Bilodeau (born 1973), Sébastien Giguère (born 1972) and Nicolas Laverdière (born 1972). The trio was formed some 13 years ago while the three artists were still studying at Université Laval in Québec City. BGL is known for their self-referential and in situ installations. Their art is in direct dialogue with contemporary culture. BGL's projects vacillate between the boundaries of destruction and excess. The trio subtly challenges political notions through absurdist installations and performances. The trio produces art that engages in social criticism and in that way is reminiscent of the collective General Idea (1969–1994). BGL seeks, through its work, to challenge the boundaries between art and life. The artistic trio focuses on the realization of a body of works that preoccupies itself with social and humanitarian concerns and that suggests a critique of the society in which they take part. Their works are not the representation of reality but rather are created with the goal of inviting the viewer to be conscious of his/her environment. BGL is concerned with the values encouraged by consumerism, as well as the fictional reality created by media, television and cinematography which imposes on the viewer something already fabricated and which creates a hegemony that puts the viewer asleep. The works of BGL can now be found in many private and public collections such as the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Collection of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Collection of the National Gallery of Canada as well as the Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (Toronto). In 2015 the collective represented Canada at the Venice Biennale.

Battle of Marietta The Battle of Marietta was a series of military operations from June 9 through July 3, 1864, in Cobb County, Georgia, between Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The Union forces, led by Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, encountered the Confederate Army of Tennessee, led by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, entrenched near Marietta, Georgia. Several engagements were fought during this four-week period, including the battles of Pine Mountain (June 14), Gilgal Church (June 15), Kolb's Farm (June 22), and Kennesaw Mountain (June 27). Sherman forced Johnston to withdraw partially on June 18 to protect his supply lines, but the Union forces were not fully victorious until July 3. On June 14, 1864, Confederate General Leonidas Polk, second cousin of former United States president James K. Polk was scouting enemy positions near Marietta, Georgia with his staff when he was killed in action by a Federal shell at Pine Mountain. The artillery fire was initiated when Sherman spotted a cluster of Confederate officers—Polk, Hardee, Johnston, and their staffs—in an exposed area. He pointed them out to Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard, commander of the IV Corps, and ordered him to fire on them. The 5th Indiana Battery, commanded by Capt. Peter Simonson, obeyed the order within minutes. The first round came close and a second even closer, causing the men to disperse. The third shell struck Polk's left arm, went through the chest, and exited hitting his right arm then exploded against a tree, cutting Polk nearly in two.

To achieve a tone and quality that were true to the story as well as reflected the period in which it is set, Spielberg once again collaborated with cinematographer Janusz Kamiński, saying, "Early on, we both knew that we did not want this to look like a Technicolor extravaganza about World War II, but more like color newsreel footage from the 1940s, which is very desaturated and low-tech." Kamiński had the protective coating stripped from the camera lenses, making them closer to those used in the 1940s. He explains that "without the protective coating, the light goes in and starts bouncing around, which makes it slightly more diffused and a bit softer without being out of focus." The cinematographer completed the overall effect by putting the negative through bleach bypass, a process that reduces brightness and color saturation. The shutter timing was set to 90 or 45 degrees for many of the battle sequences, as opposed to the standard of 180-degree timing. Kamiński clarifies, "In this way, we attained a certain staccato in the actors' movements and a certain crispness in the explosions, which makes them slightly more realistic." "Saving Private Ryan" was released in 2,463 theaters on July 24, 1998, and grossed $30.5 million on its opening weekend, opening to number one and remained at the top for four weeks until "Blade" topped the film in its fifth week of release. The film grossed $216.5 million in the US and Canada and $265.3 million in other territories, bringing its worldwide total to $481.8 million. It was the highest-grossing US film of 1998, and was the second-highest-grossing film of 1998 worldwide, finishing behind "Armageddon". Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold over 45.74 million tickets in the United States and Canada. "Saving Private Ryan" received acclaim from critics and audiences; much of the praise went to Spielberg's directing, the realistic battle scenes, the actors' performances, John Williams' score, the cinematography, editing, and screenplay. The film has a 'certified fresh' rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 139 reviews with an average score of 8.64/10. The consensus states "Anchored by another winning performance from Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg's unflinchingly realistic war film virtually redefines the genre." The film also has a score of 91 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 35 critic reviews indicating "universal acclaim".

At the time, interferon was still a poorly defined protein studied by only a handful of scientists across the world. In 1964, Vilček organized the first international conference on interferon that was attended by many scientists active in the field at the time. Upon emigrating to the United States in 1965, Vilček joined the faculty of NYU School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor of Microbiology. At NYU, Vilček continued research on interferon. He helped to develop methods for the production of human fibroblast (beta) interferon that enabled its clinical utilization and molecular characterization. He and his colleagues showed that human leukocyte (alpha) and beta interferon are antigenically distinct, laying the groundwork for the later demonstration that these interferons are encoded by distinct genes that belong to the same gene family. He and his coworkers also contributed to the characterization of human immune (gamma) interferon. In the 1980s Vilček became interested in the study of another cytokine, termed tumor necrosis factor (TNF). His work helped to elucidate novel biological actions of TNF, led to the discovery of novel genes and proteins, and helped to identify signaling pathways. Over the span of his career, Vilček published over 350 papers in scientific journals. Vilček is an Institute for Scientific Information highly cited researcher in the Immunology category. He is listed as an inventor on over 40 US patents. In the 1970s Vilček and colleagues developed methods for the production of human interferon-beta in cultures of human diploid fibroblasts. These methods made it possible to produce natural human interferon-beta for clinical trials. Interferon-beta produced by these methods was licensed for clinical use in multiple sclerosis and some other diseases in Germany and in Japan, but eventually the production of natural interferon has been replaced by more efficient methods utilizing recombinant DNA technology. In 1989 Vilček and NYU colleague, Junming Le, created a monoclonal antibody against TNF-alpha, a powerful promoter of inflammation. TNF-alpha is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Collaborating with the biotechnology company Centocor, founded by Michael Wall and Hubert Schoemaker (later acquired by Johnson & Johnson and recently renamed Janssen Biotech, Inc.), Vilček and Le helped to develop the biologic drug initially termed cA2, which is now known commercially as infliximab, or Remicade.

Timely launched the Mighty Mouse series in 1946. The first St. John Terrytoons comic was "Mighty Mouse" #5 (Aug. 1947), its numbering also taken over from the Timely run. That series eventually ran 71 issues with St. John, moving to Pines for 16 issues from Apr. 1956 to Aug. 1959, to Dell for 12 issues from Oct./Dec. 1959–July/Sept. 1962, and Western for 17 issues from Oct. 1962 to Jan. 1980 (with a hiatus from Sept. 1965 to Mar. 1979), finally ending with issue #172. John's Terrytoons comics include the field's first 3-D comic book, "Three Dimension Comics" #1 (Sept. 1953 oversize format, Oct. 1953 standard-size reprint), featuring Mighty Mouse. According to Joe Kubert, co-creator with the brothers Norman Maurer and Leonard Maurer, it sold an exceptional 1.2 million copies at 25 cents apiece at a time when comics cost a dime. Dell Comics published eight issues of a "New Terrytoons" title from June/Aug. 1960 to March/May 1962. "See List of Terrytoons animated shorts. for complete filmography"

The IMF designed structural adjustment policies that advocated for fiscal adjustments based on expenditure cuts, because they usually included, among other "conditionalities": According to some empirical research by economists at this institution, expenditure-based fiscal adjustments were more stable and durable than revenue-based strategies during the 1980s in Latin American and African countries running structural adjustment programs.

Hamnholmen Halmholmen is a Swedish island belonging to the Piteå archipelago. The island is located off the coast of Rosvik in the Bastafjord. It is located between Trundön and the mainland. The island has no shore connection. There are some summer houses on the island, so there is also a path running from north to south. On the island, a stream flows from east to west.

On April 7, 2005, WCIA began airing the market's first prime time newscast on WCFN. Known on-air as "Primetime News at 9", the broadcast originated from the main studios in Champaign but was targeted specifically at a Springfield-based audience. The name was altered to "myCFN News at 9" in September 2006 to reflect WCFN's affiliation change to MyNetworkTV. There would not be any competition in the time slot until September 11, 2006 when rival ABC affiliates WICS/WICD began co-producing a nightly prime time newscast at 9 on Fox affiliates WRSP/WCCU. That program was based out of WICS' Springfield studios but, unlike WCFN's show, featured market-wide coverage (including contributions from WICD reporters based in Champaign). However, there was a separate weeknight weather forecast segment seen on WRSP and WCCU that was specifically geared towards the Springfield and Champaign areas, respectively. Also in 2006, WCIA began airing an hour-long extension of its weekday morning newscast at 7 a.m. on WCFN. This originally included a simulcast of the 6 o'clock hour of "The Morning Show" from WCIA. At the end of the first hour, viewers were always reminded to flip the channel to WCFN which offers a local alternative to the national morning programs seen on the big three networks. In 2007, another hour was added to the show which can now be seen from 7 until 9. In 2009, WCIA announced it would cancel "myCFN News at 9" and launch a new sixty-minute newscast weeknights at 7 on WCFN beginning September 28. As a result, MyNetworkTV programming now airs out-of-pattern, via an hour tape delay, from 8 to 10 p.m. The broadcast would eventually be reduced to 30 minutes in length. On October 24, 2012, WCIA upgraded local news production to high definition level. However, WCIX's newscasts were initially seen over-the-air in a letterboxed format because its main channel only transmitted in 4:3 standard definition until it was upgraded to full HD in 2015. WRSP/WCCU added competition to the weekday morning news race on January 20, 2014 after WICS began producing a two-hour extension of its morning show on the Fox affiliates. In addition to WCIA's main facilities, it operates bureaus in Springfield (on East Edwards Street near the Illinois State Capitol) and Decatur (on North Water Street).

Zhou Enlai, leading the Central Special Task Units (CSTU) of the CCP, organized an action attempting to rescue Peng Pai but this failed. On August 30, Peng Pai was secretly killed at Longhua, Shanghai by the KMT government on the orders of Chiang Kai-shek. On November 11, per Zhou Enlai’s order, Chen Geng and Gu Shunzhang directed the CSTU with its Red Squad to kill Peng's betrayer, Bai Xin, outside of his hidden shelter in Shanghai. In memory of Peng Pai and Yang Yin, the CCP named its military academy the "Peng-Yang Military Academy of the Red Army". Peng Pai's second son, Peng Shilu, the first chief designer of the China's nuclear submarine (Type 091 and Type 092) project, is considered the "father of China's nuclear submarines" and the "founding father of China's Naval Nuclear Propulsion". He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering for his contributions and expertise in nuclear propulsion and Nuclear Power Engineering. Peng Shige, a grandson of Peng Pai's elder brother Peng Hanyuan, is a distinguished mathematician and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is noted for his contributions in stochastic analysis and founding of Mathematical Finance in China. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the Anti-Peng Pai Incident (反彭湃事件) broke out in Shanwei, Guangdong, targeting the relatives of Peng Pai. Peng Pai's mother was jailed, and his third son Peng Hong (彭洪) was killed and buried secretly; a cousin and a nephew of Peng Pai were also killed in a massacre which resulted in the deaths of over 160 people, and the head of the nephew was hung up on the pole and shown to the public for three days. In 1978 after the end of the Cultural Revolution, Xi Zhongxun (习仲勋) was in charge of Guangdong province and officially redressed this incident as well as rehabilitated Peng Pai's relatives and all the related victims thoroughly.

Hoping for a rematch with Zale, WWII intervened, and Abrams served in the Navy where he performed physical training for recruits and boxed in over 200 exhibition bouts. When Abrams was discharged from the Navy in 1946, he fought several tune up fights, though was slowed somewhat in his return to the ring by a kidney operation. On August 23, 1946, he defeated Steve Belloise in a ten-round match before nearly 10,000 fans at Madison Square Garden. Abrams won with fast left jabs and strong right crosses in a fast fight. Abrams won the early rounds with accurate punches, withstood a comeback attempt in the middle rounds. Belloise landed two strong rights to Abram's head in the fifth, opening a cut over Abram's eye which hampered him in the sixth and seventh. But Abrams showed more stamina and took the lead in the ninth and tenth rounds, taking a close decision at the end. Abrams next challenged the French middleweight Marcel Cerdan before 17,000 spectators at Madison Square Garden. Marcel would become a World Middleweight Champion in September 1948, after having held the equivalent title in France and Europe. Abrams lost a close ten round decision on December 6, 1946, though it was a unanimous ruling among the judges, who included Ruby Goldstein. The "Des Moines Register" agreed that the match was close, but that Cerdan put on a fierce display of punching in the closing rounds accounting for his victory. The Associated Press gave five rounds to Cerdan, four to Abrams, and one even. Cerdan had not lost a match on points or by knockout in 97 previous bouts and was considered to be the greatest European boxer of the era. On May 16, 1947, he lost a split ten round decision before a crowd of 15,000, against Sugar Ray Robinson, the reigning welterweight world champion, at New York's Madison Square Garden. The shorter armed but heavier Abrams was able to maneuver inside of Robinson's longer reach keeping much of the fighting at close quarters. But Abrams was unable to land a knockout blow against the skilled Robinson. Robinson received fouls for low blows in both the seventh and eighth rounds. According to the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle", Robinson had tired somewhat by the late rounds, and may have been past his prime. Abrams staggered his opponent with hard rights in both the sixth and ninth. Robinson fought the match with a ten-pound weight disadvantage at around 150. The crowd voiced their disapproval of the final ruling, and the Associated Press gave Abrams a slight edge in the bout in contrast with the decision of the referees.

Gideon Pelton Farm The Gideon Pelton Farm is a Registered Historic Place located on Rockafellow Lane in the Town of Montgomery in Orange County, New York. Pelton settled the area in the 1770s and built the house soon afterwards. A stone wing was built on it before the end of the century, and in the 1830s a large frame section was added in the then-popular Greek Revival style that gave the house its current character. It continues to be used as a farmhouse to this day.

Joseph Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dzе Jugashvili; 5 March 1953) was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet politician who led the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until 1953 as the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and premier of the Soviet Union (1941–1953). Despite initially governing the Soviet Union as part of a collective leadership, he eventually consolidated power to become the country's "de facto" dictator by the 1930s. A communist ideologically committed to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, Stalin formalised these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies are known as Stalinism. Born to a poor family in Gori in the Russian Empire (now Georgia), Stalin joined the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party as a youth. He edited the party's newspaper, "Pravda", and raised funds for Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik faction via robberies, kidnappings, and protection rackets. Repeatedly arrested, he underwent several internal exiles. After the Bolsheviks seized power during the 1917 October Revolution and created a one-party state under Lenin's newly renamed Communist Party, Stalin joined its governing Politburo. Serving in the Russian Civil War before overseeing the Soviet Union's establishment in 1922, Stalin assumed leadership over the country following Lenin's 1924 death. Under Stalin, "Socialism in One Country" became a central tenet of the party's dogma. Through the Five-Year Plans, the country underwent agricultural collectivisation and rapid industrialisation, creating a centralised command economy. This led to significant disruptions in food production that contributed to the famine of 1932–33. To eradicate accused "enemies of the working class", Stalin instituted the "Great Purge", in which over a million were imprisoned and at least 700,000 executed between 1934 and 1939. By 1937, he had complete personal control over the party and state. Stalin's government promoted Marxism–Leninism abroad through the Communist International and supported European anti-fascist movements during the 1930s, particularly in the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, it signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany, resulting in the Soviet invasion of Poland. Germany ended the pact by invading the Soviet Union in 1941. Despite initial setbacks, the Soviet Red Army repelled the German incursion and captured Berlin in 1945, ending World War II in Europe. The Soviets annexed the Baltic states and helped establish Soviet-aligned governments throughout Central and Eastern Europe, China, and North Korea.

Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), is a committee within the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that provides advice and guidance on effective control of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S. civilian population. The ACIP develops written recommendations for routine administration of vaccines to the pediatric and adult populations, along with vaccination schedules regarding appropriate timing, dosage, and contraindications of vaccines. ACIP statements are official federal recommendations for the use of vaccines and immune globulins in the U.S., and are published by the CDC. The ACIP was established in 1964 by the US Surgeon General to assist in the prevention and control of communicable diseases, it recommends licensed new vaccines to be incorporated into the routine immunization schedule, recommends vaccine formulations, and reviews older vaccines to consider revising its recommendations. Both private insurers in the United States and the federal government use ACIP recommendations to determine which vaccines they will pay for. Regularly scheduled ACIP meetings are held three times a year. Notices of each meeting, along with agenda items, are published in the Federal Register in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). A vote on vaccine recommendations may be taken when a quorum of at least eight eligible ACIP members are present. Eligible voters are those members who do not have a conflict of interest. If there are not eight eligible voting members present, the ACIP executive secretary can temporarily designate ex officio members as voting members, as provided in the committee charter. Meetings are advertised and open to the public, and are now available online via webcast. The minutes of each meeting are available on the CDC website within 90 days of the conference. In October 2010, ACIP adopted the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) framework. Their process includes review of labeling and package inserts; review of the scientific literature on the safety and efficacy; assessment of cost effectiveness; review of the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease; review of the recommendations of other groups; and consideration of the feasibility of vaccine use in existing programs. Each piece of evidence is judged as very low, low, moderate, or high quality. Problems such as lack of reliability and biases are taken into account and the quality of the evidence is adjusted accordingly. Vaccines suitable for nearly all persons in an age- or risk-factor-based group are assigned Category A. Category B recommendations are made for individual clinical decision-making between the patient and physician.

The topic of the "European Heritage Days" held in Azerbaijan in 2005 was "Civilizations and peacekeeping processes". The campaign consisted of two events: - Conducting the "East-West" Baku International Festival, which is usually held in an independent form, but included in the Campaign's ideology space in 2005 - Conducting a photo contest of children and youth within the "Photo-experience-2005" event and demonstration of the results at the Republican Youth Forum, besides distribution of "Photo-experience-2005" catalog from Barcelona. Azerbaijan became the member of UNESCO in 1992, and UNESCO National Commission in Azerbaijan within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established according to the decree of the former President Haydar Aliyev in 1994. The heritage of Azerbaijan became the part of world heritage in the result of UNESCO-Azerbaijan relations. Azerbaijan joined the conventions of UNESCO “The preservation of cultural values and heritage”, “The recognition of specialties in higher education, diplomas and degrees”, “The preservation of intangible cultural heritage” and so on. Two Azerbaijani cultural elements were included in the World Heritage List: - “Walled City of Baku with the Shirvanshah’s Palace and Maiden Tower” in 2000; - “Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape” in 2007. Mugham was included in the list of “Masterpiece of humankind and intangible heritage” in 2003. Besides, intangible cultural elements like “The Art of Azerbaijani Ashiq”, “Novruz”, “Azerbaijani carpet weaving”, “Craftsmanship and performance art of the Tar”, “Chovqan”, “Kelaghayi”, “Copper craftsmanship of Lahij” and "Flatbread making and sharing culture” have been inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. A number of concerts, jubilees, scientific seminars and symposiums, conferences and congresses, meetings and festivities were organized in the framework of UNESCO as “500 anniversary of the birth of Muhammad Fuzuli”(1996), “1300th anniversary of Kitabi-Dada Gorgud” (2000), “800th anniversary of the birth of Nasraddin Tusi” (2001), “200th anniversary of the birth of Mirza Kazimbey” (2002), “100th anniversary of the birth of Mir Jalal Pashayev” (2008), “900th anniversary of achievements of Mahsati Ganjavi” (2013), “100th anniversary of the musical comedy Arshin Mal Alan of Uzeyir Hajibeyli” (2013) and etc.

Goeldi's spiny rat Goeldi's spiny-rat, "Proechimys goeldii", is a spiny rat species from South America. It is found in Brazil. Morphological characters and mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences showed that "P. goeldii" belongs to the so-called "goeldii" group of "Proechimys" species, and shares closer phylogenetic affinities with the other members of this clade: "P. steerei" and "P. quadruplicatus".

Frank D. Costenbader Frank D. Costenbader (1905 - 1978) was an American physician frequently credited as the world's first pediatric ophthalmologist.

This was accepted and the charge for supervision was given to Nathaniel Wallich on 24 April 1819. This continued until 1831 when charge moved to the Mysore Commissioner. An Agricultural and Horticultural Society had been formed with William Munro, an army officer and amateur botanist in charge of the Bangalore chapter. The Society wrote to the Mysore Commissioner, Sir Mark Cubbon, requesting charge of the Lalbagh garden. Cubbon granted control and during this period it was used for horticultural training. The Bangalore chapter of the Society was dissolved in 1842, leaving the gardens unmanaged. In 1855, Hugh Cleghorn, was appointed as a botanical advisor to the Commissioner of Mysore. Cleghorn and Jaffrey, superintendent of the Madras Agri-Horticultural Society looked at various sites for a horticultural garden and found that Lalbagh suited their purpose despite being located at a distance from the Cantonment, the British centre of the city. He suggested that a European Superintendent be appointed with control under the Chief Commissioner. Cleghorn was against the use of Lalbagh for commercial enterprise and instead suggested that it should aim to improve the use of indigenous plants, aid in introducing useful exotic species and help in the exchange of plant and seed materials with other gardens at Madras, Calcutta and Ooty. Under Cubbon's orders, Lalbagh was made into the Government Botanical Garden in August 1856 and a professional horticulturist was sought from Kew. William New was recommended and he arrived at Bangalore on 10 April 1858. New's contract ended in 1863-64 and he was replaced by Allan Adamson Black who worked at the Kew Herbarium. Black however suffered from poor health and resigned in 1865 and died after visiting his brother in Rangoon aboard HMS Dalhousie, off the Coco Islands on 4 December 1865. New was then re-appointed. In his 1861 catalogue of the plants of Lalbagh, there were numerous economic and ornamental plants including Cinchona, coffee, tea, macadamia nuts, hickory, pecan, rhododendrons, camellias, and bougainvilleas. New died in 1873 and was followed by John Cameron, also from Kew. Cameron had the additional support of the Maharaja of Mysore who was appointed in 1881 and introductions included Araucarias ("A. cookii" and "A. bidwilli"), cypresses ("Cupressus sempervirens"), topiaries made from "Hamelia patens".

BBC Radio One banned the full version of the Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" in 2007, replacing it with an edited version; however, the ban was quickly lifted due to public outcry. In some cases, it was considered sufficient to censor certain words rather than banning a song outright. In the case of the Kinks' "Lola", once the offending word had been changed – the brand name "Coca-Cola" to "cherry cola" – the song was given airplay. In other cases, it was not necessary for the BBC to formally ban a particular song, since both parties were well aware of what would be acceptable or not, as was the case of George Formby's 1937 song, "With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock". The "restricted" list included Barry McGuire's 1965 hit, "Eve of Destruction". After the death of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher on 8 April 2013, anti-Thatcher sentiment prompted campaigns on social media platforms which resulted in the song "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" reaching number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. On 12 April, Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper said that the station's chart show would not play the song in the usual format, but that a short snippet would be aired as part of a news item. This article lists songs which have been banned by the BBC over the years. Some were banned for only a limited period, and have since received BBC airplay. Others were banned many years after having been first aired, as was the case of the Cure's "Killing an Arab" and sixty-seven other songs which were banned from BBC airplay as the first Gulf War began. In some cases, more information about the banned songs can be found in their respective articles. As the first Gulf War began, the BBC deemed several songs inappropriate for airplay in light of the situation and subsequently banned them from their radio stations for the duration of the war. A list of sixty-seven banned songs was published by "New Statesman and Society" in conjunction with British public-service television broadcaster Channel 4. The Cure's "Killing an Arab" is absent from the list, but is known to have been banned in connection with the Gulf War.

NISAR (satellite) The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar on an Earth observation satellite. The satellite will be the first radar imaging satellite to use dual frequencies. It will be used for remote sensing, to observe and understand natural processes on Earth. For example, its right-facing instruments will study the Antarctic cryosphere. With a total cost estimated at US$1.5 billion, NISAR is likely to be the world's most expensive Earth-imaging satellite. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, or NISAR satellite, will use advanced radar imaging to map the elevation of Earth's land and ice masses 4 to 6 times a month at resolutions of 5 to 10 meters. It is designed to observe and measure some of the planet's most complex natural processes, including ecosystem disturbances, ice-sheet collapse, and natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and landslides. Under the terms of the agreement, NASA will provide the mission's L band synthetic aperture radar (SAR), a high-rate telecommunication subsystem for scientific data, GPS receivers, a solid-state recorder, and a payload data subsystem. ISRO will provide the satellite bus, an S band synthetic aperture radar, the launch vehicle, and associated launch services. All data from NISAR would be freely available 1 to 2 days after observation and within hours in case of emergencies like natural disasters. Data collected from NISAR will reveal information about the evolution and state of Earth's crust, help scientists better understand our planet's natural processes and changing climate, and aid future resource and hazard management. The mission is a partnership between NASA and ISRO. The satellite will be three-axis stabilized. It will use a deployable mesh antenna and will operate on both the L and S microwave bands. The aperture mesh reflector (antenna) will be supplied by Astro Aerospace, a Northrop Grumman company. The satellite will be launched from India aboard a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. The orbit will be a Sun-synchronous, dawn-to-dusk type. The planned mission life is three years. The project has passed the first stage of the design validation phase and has been reviewed and approved by NASA. ISRO's share of the project cost is about , and NASA's share is about US$808 million.

Vorderkaiserfelden Hut The Vorderkaiserfelden Hut () is an alpine hut in the Kufstein district, Austria. It is located at on the southwest slope of the "Zahmer Kaiser" below the Naunspitze and high above the Kaisertal valley in the Kaisergebirge mountain range. It has a good view over the Inn valley and Kufstein and across to the Mangfall Mountains and the Wilder Kaiser. The hut is managed by the German Alpine Club's Oberland section. It has 64 communal bunks, 31 beds, and a "suite" for a couple in love. The Vorderkaiserfelden Hut is open year-round except three weeks in December and after Easter. It can be accessed from Kufstein, the hike takes about 2.5 hours, or from Ebbs, also within about 2.5 hours. Already in 1889, a hut with 6 communal bunks and 14 beds existed.

Dongchuan Road station Dongchuan Road () is a station on Line 5 of the Shanghai Metro. It serves as an interchange station between the main and branch lines of Line 5, with the opening of the southern extension of Line 5. The Minhang Campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Minhang campus of East China Normal University are five minutes' walk away (there used to be a shuttle bus available for students and staff Monday-Friday during daylight hours, but this has stopped with the opening of a public bus line which serves an equivalent route), which makes this station popular with students at the university.

Between the end of the 4th century and the beginning of the 5th, Pope Symmachus built a basilica above the catacomb consecrated to the martyr and a thermal edifice. In 594 Gregory the Great provided the basilica with a cloister. In 625 Pope Honorius I rebuilt the basilica after a Greek-Gothic war, with three naves. Pope Honorius' rebuilding is the basilica that still exists today. As mentioned above, San Pancrazio is one of the few catacombs in Rome whose track has not been completely lost during the centuries, even if it has often been confused with other catacombs rising along the Via Aurelia. Antonio Bosio thoroughly studied the cemetery, but he confused it with the cemetery of Calepodius; the two catacombs were distinguished by Giovanni Battista de Rossi in the 19th century. Excavations carried out at the beginning of the 1930s under the floor of the Basilica of San Pancrazio led to the discovery of a Roman street that cut in two, diagonally to the church; they also brought to light some mausolea and ground graves, both inside the basilica and in its square, such demonstrating that the hypogeous cemetery also included an extended funerary area on the topsoil. The Catacomb of San Pancrazio is not in the most perfect condition: the tunnels are mostly destroyed and therefore the visit to see the Catacomb is very short. The hypogeous cemetery can be divided into three main regions: De Santis L. - Biamonte G., Le catacombe di Roma, Newton & Compton Editori, Rome 1997, pp. 128–132 Cecchelli M., San Pancrazio, Rome, Marietti 1972 Verrando G. N., Le numerose recensioni della passio Pancratii, in "Vetera Christianorum" 19 (1982) 105-129 Nestori A., La basilica di S. Pancrazio in Roma, in Rivista di Archeologia Cristiana 36 (1960) 213-248

Atlanta graft ring The Atlanta graft ring was a corruption scandal that erupted in 1930 which generated 26 indictments and earned a Pulitzer Prize for the Atlanta Constitution newspaper. Atlanta had prided itself for a relatively corruption-free government throughout its history, but this changed in the 1920s. On November 18, 1929, Fourth Ward Alderman Ben T. Huiet told the city council he had heard that payment of $3,500 was asked for in order to approve electrical wiring that had been installed in the new Atlanta City Hall, then under construction. Soon after, Atlanta Constitution president Clark Howell, wrote a ringing editorial demanding the Fulton County grand jury to investigate. Foreman Thomas Lyon and Solicitor General John A. Boykin began the lengthy investigation during which, more than a thousand witnesses were called to look into the Mayor I.N. Ragsdale's administration and city council. Twenty-six indictments were made, of which fifteen were guilty and seven of those received prison sentences, including councilman Harry York. The press coverage earned Howell and the Atlanta Constitution the 1931 Pulitzer Prize for Journalism in the Public Service category for "a successful municipal graft exposure and subsequent convictions." Solicitor General Boykin went on to break up Atlanta's numbers game operation in 1936.
