Ernesto Lecuona y Casado (August 6, 1895 – November 29, 1963) was a Cuban composer and pianist of worldwide fame.
He composed over six hundred pieces, mostly in the Cuban vein, and was a pianist of exceptional skill.
As a child prodigy, he composed his first song at the age of 11.
Lecuona graduated from the National Conservatory of Havana with a Gold Medal for interpretation when he was sixteen.
He performed in New York in 1916.
He was a prolific composer of songs and music for stage and film.
His works in Afro-Cuban and Cuban rhythms are still very famous.
They include Siboney (Canto Siboney), Comparsa, Malagueña and The Breeze And I (Andalucía).
In 1942, his great hit, Always in my heart (Siempre en mi Corazon) was nominated for an Oscar for Best Song.
Lecuona wrote music for stage and screen.
His own musical stage show, María la O, premiered in Havana on March 1, 1930.
Lecuona gave concerts all through his adult life, in Europe and the Americas.
They often featured his own compositions.
He first travelled to Spain in 1924, and his successful piano recitals in 1928 at Paris coincided with a rise in interest in Cuban music.
Lecuona gave help and the use of his name to the popular touring group, the Lecuona Cuban Boys, but he did not play as a member of the band.
He did sometimes play piano solos as the first item on the bill.
The Lecuona Cuban Boys were highly successful in the 1930s, and toured Europe every year.
They lasted until the Cuban revolution of 1959.
Lecuona himself left Cuba and spent his last few years in the United States.

Portmeirion is a tourist village in Gwynedd, North Wales.
The village is in the community of Penrhyndeudraeth.
Its is next to the River Dwyryd.
It was created and built by Clough Williams-Ellis.
He created and built it between the years 1925 and 1975.
He wanted it to look like an Italian village.
A charity owns it.
Many movies and television shows were filmed there, including The Prisoner.
Portmeirion looks a lot like the Italian city of Portofino.
But, Clough Williams-Ellis, who created Portmeirion, always said that it was not based on the city of Portofino.
He said he did want it to look like it was a place near the Mediterranean, though.
He designed and built the village between the years of 1925 and 1975.
The mix of architecture in the village is believed to have influenced postmodernism architecture in the late 1900s.
An old estate used to be located on the property before Portmeirion was built.
It was called Aber Iâ ().
The hotel and three cottages, which are named "White Horses", "Mermaid", and "The Salutation", are part of the original estate.
It was built in the 1850s.
Before the estate, there was a foundry and a boatyard on site.
There is also an old site which has a small group of remains from a mediaeval castle nearby.
In 1931, Williams-Ellis bought a Victorian mansion from his uncle Sir Osmund Williams, Bt.
It was called Castell Deudraeth.
Williams-Ellis planned on having the mansion be a part of the hotel.
Lots of problems and the war did not allow that to happen.
Williams-Ellis loved the building a lot and did anything he could to make it a part of the hotel.
He received money from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the European Regional Development Fund, and Wales Tourist Board.
This money allowed him to finally open Castell Deudraeth as a hotel with 11 bedrooms and a restaurant on August 20, 2001.
Bryn Terfel performed at the opening.
There are a lot of rhododendrons at Portmeirion, which are part of gardens that go throughout the land.
The gardens were started before Williams-Ellis lived there.
They were started by George Henry Caton Haigh.
An English charity owns Portmeirion, today.
It is still a hotel.
There is also a cafe, cottages for rent, shops, a tearoom, and a restaurant.
Lewis Mumford has written a lot about Portmeirion.
He wrote a lot about it in his book, The Highway and the City in 1964.
A lot of people have found inspiration in Portmeirion.
Noël Coward wrote the play Blithe Spirit while staying in a cottage at Portmeirion.
Frank Lloyd Wright, Gregory Peck, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul McCartney have visited.
Jools Holland visited it while he was making a TV show called The Tube.
He loved Portmeirion so much that he used its type of architecture in building his recording studio and house in Blackheath.
The village is used in many movies and television shows to look like the shows are taking place in an exotic place in Europe.
Episodes of Danger Man, Doctor Who, and The Prisoner have been filmed at Portmeirion.
Many bands and musicians have recorded videos, songs, and held concerts there to do with The Prisoner, including Supergrass, Iron Maiden, XTC, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and a music festival called Festival N°6.
Sirius Passet is a special fossil site, a  lagerstätte in Greenland.
It is from six places on the eastern shore of a fjord in the far north of Greenland.
It was discovered in 1984.
About 10,000 fossil specimens have been collected so far.
The fauna is just before that of the Burgess Shale,  probably ten to fifteen million years older – 518 vs. 505 mya.
The fauna includes some arthropods and sponges, and rare representatives of other groups.
A polychaete annelid from the Sirius Passet was described in 2008.
Polychaete annelids are a significant part of the Burgess Shale fauna, but are otherwise unknown from the other early Cambrian lagerstätten.
This single species from a single place improves our knowledge of this group.

The Menai Suspension Bridge () is a suspension bridge in Wales.
It runs from the island of Anglesey to Holyhead.
They started building it in 1819 and it was finished in 1826.
Building of the bridge
Before the bridge was built, the only way people could get to Anglesey island was by a ferry from Holyhead.
The water of the Menai Strait is very rough and dangerous, so it was hard for people to use their own boats or swim to the island.
The people who lived on Anglesey sold cattle that they raised.
The cattle were forced to swim through the dangerous water, with many of them often dying.
If the cows survived the trip, they were sent to London and other places to be sold.
An engineer named Thomas Telford was working near Holyhead when he thought it would be a good idea to build a suspension bridge to Anglesey.
A suspension bridge was big enough that tall ships could go underneath them.
He asked the British Parliament if he could build the bridge and they said yes.
Telford designed the bridge.
They started building it in 1819.
The first thing to be built were the towers that are on both sides at Holyhead and Anglesey.
The towers were made out of limestone from Penmon.
They were hollow inside.
After the towers were built, 16 chains were installed.
They were made out of 935 bars of iron.
They were long enough to support the  long bridge.
Iron can rust.
So, the people who made the chains soaked them in linseed oil and the painted.
The chains were  long and weighed 121 tons.
The bridge opened on January 30, 1826.
The road that went over the bridge was not very safe because of the strong winds.
Workers made the bridge stronger in 1840.
The bridge road was made of wood, and in 1893 it was replaced with steel.
The bridge only allowed cars and trucks that weighted up to 4.5 tons to go over the bridge.
This made it hard for big trucks to bring goods to the island.
In 1938 they installed wrought iron chains to make the bridge strong.
In 1999, the bridge closed for one month.
The road was fixed and the bridge was made stronger.
When it was closed, people had to drive over the Britannia Bridge to get to the island.
One part of the bridge was closed for six months starting on February 28, 2005.
The bridge was painted for the first time in 65 years.
It was reopened on December 11.
The Anglesey Coastal Path goes under the bridge.
There is a memorial to the Aberfan disaster victims at the bridge on Anglesey.
The closest town to the bridge is called Menai Bridge.
British one pound coins have drawings of the bridge.
The coins were made in 2005.
The bridge is mentioned in Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

The D programming language is an object-oriented, imperative, multi-paradigm system programming language.
D language originated as a re-engineering of C++, and D's design goals try combining the performance of compiled languages with the safety and expressive power of modern dynamic languages.
Native D code is commonly as fast as equivalent C++ code, while being shorter and memory-safe.
This example program prints its command line arguments.
The main function is the entry point of a D program, and args is an array of strings representing the command line arguments.
A string in D is an array of characters, represented by char[] in D1, or immutable(char)[] in D2.
The foreach statement can iterate over any collection.
In this case, it is producing a sequence of indexes (i) and values (arg) from the array args.
The index i and the value arg have their types inferred from the type of the array args.
The following shows several D capabilities and D design trade-offs in a very short program.
It iterates the lines of a text file named words.txt that contains a different word on each line, and prints all the words that are anagrams of other words.
dstring[][dstring] signs2words;
foreach(dchar[] w; lines(File("words.txt")))
w = w.chomp().toLower();
immutable key = w.dup.sort().release().idup;
signs2words[key] ~= w.idup;
foreach(words; signs2words)
if(words.length > 1)
signs2words is a built-in associative array that maps dstring (32-bit / char) keys to arrays of dstrings.
It is similar to defaultdict(list) in Python.
lines(File()) yields lines lazily, with the newline.
It has to then be copied with idup to obtain a string to be used for the associative array values (the idup property of arrays returns an immutable duplicate of the array, which is required since the dstring type is actually immutable(dchar)[]).
Built-in associative arrays require immutable keys.
The ~= operator appends a new dstring to the values of the associate dynamic array.
toLower, join and chomp are string functions that D allows to use with a method syntax.
The name of such functions is often very similar to Python string methods.
The toLower converts a string to lower case, join(" ") joins an array of strings into a single string using a single space as separator, and chomp removes a newline from the end of the string if one is present.
The sort is an std.algorithm function that sorts the array in place, creating a unique signature for words that are anagrams of each other.
The release() method on the return value of sort() is handy to keep the code as a single expression.
The second foreach iterates on the values of the associative array, it's able to infer the type of words.
key is assigned to an immutable variable, its type is inferred.
UTF-32 dchar[] is used instead of normal UTF-8 char[] otherwise sort() refuses to sort it.
There are more efficient ways to write this program, that use just UTF-8.

The first cable lasted only three weeks.
Transatlantic telegraph cables have been replaced by transatlantic telecommunications cables.
Tribunes of the plebs were important officials in Ancient Rome.
The plebians (plebs) were the free Roman people who were not patricians.
The tribunes provided a balance between the power of the Senate and the needs of the people.
There were ten tribunes at any time, and they could act separately or together.
These tribunes had the power to use the People's Assembly (the Concilium Plebis) to support the common people.
They could summon the Senate, propose legislation and intervene on the behalf of plebeians in legal matters.
Most important of all was the power to veto the actions of the Consuls and other magistrates, to protect the interests of the plebeians.
An assault on any plebian tribune was against the law.
Tribunes of the plebs were elected by the People's Assembly alone.
They could be commoners, unlike all the other officials of the Roman Republic.
Their role lasted for about 800 years, but under the Roman Empire they did not have real powers.
They were in origin and style, a working part of the Roman Republic.
Although a tribune could veto any action of the magistrates, Senate, or other assemblies, he had to be physically present in order to do so.
Once the tribune was no longer present, the action could be completed as if the veto had not occurred.
This meant that the tribunes' powers were limited to Rome itself, not the Republic in general.

Louisiana is divided into 64 parishes, which are equivalent to counties, and contains 308 incorporated municipalities consisting of four consolidated city-parishes, and 304 cities, towns, and villages.
Louisiana's municipalities cover only  of the state's land mass but are home to  of its population.
According to the 2015 Louisiana Laws Revised Statutes, residents of any unincorporated area may propose to incorporate as a municipality if the area meets prescribed minimum population thresholds.
Those having five thousand inhabitants or more are classified as cities; those having less than five thousand but more than one thousand inhabitants are classified as towns; and those having one thousand or fewer inhabitants are classified as villages.

Meju is a brick of fermented soybeans in Korean cuisine.
It is used in Korean cuisine to make essential condiments such as soy sauce (kanjang), soybean paste (doenjang) and red chilli pepper paste (gochujang).
Meju is produced by drying a brick of soybeans.
The brick of soybeans is naturally fermented while it dries.
There are several ways to make a brick of soybeans.
Traditionally, boiled soybeans were crushed in a mortar and made into a brick shape to be tied up with straw.
Meju was commonly made in any Korean home in the past.
Condiments made with mejus all tasted different because the production of meju was not standardized.
As many Koreans now buy Korean traditional condiments instead of making them, it is difficult to find the wide variety of unique tasting condiments made from homemade meju.
The meaning of the word ‘meju’ originally included all condiments and seasonings made with meju.
However, as another word ‘jang’ was used more frequently to refer to condiments made with meju, the meaning of the word ‘meju’ shifted to refer only to the stage before it is used in condiments.
Scholars believe the Japanese word ‘miso’ which is similar to Korean doenjang came from the word ‘meju’.
