"Luciano Serra Pilota" is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira, included on their debut studio album, Righeira (1983). Stefano Righi, the writer of the song, was inspired to write the song after an Italian war drama film with the same name.Writing and recording Stefano Righi wrote "Luciano Serra Pilota" with inspiration from the 1938 Italian war drama film Luciano Serra, Pilot starring Amedeo Nazzari as Luciano Serra. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Righi commented, "The song was mainly based on D.A.F. and Kraftwerk, one of my favourite bands.""Luciano Serra Pilota" was one of four songs from Righeira to be written solely by Righi (the other three being "Gli parlerò di te", "Disco Volante" and "Kon Tiki").Music video Pierluigi de Mas directed the music video for "Luciano Serra Pilota", which was filmed in Italy. It premiered on MTV in Italy in 1983 together with the duo's hit single "Vamos a la playa" from the same album, followed by "No Tengo Dinero" in 1984.In the music video, Righi and Rota, dressed in pilot uniforms, sings and dance in front of a greenscreen with an image of a biplane as background. In addition to the song, the editors added sounds of machine guns, aircraft and military trumpet signals. The singing has a robotic and tight rhythm, heavily inspired by German music productions.German writer Eric Pfeil of Rolling Stone has described the music video as a "parody of fascist heroes". He added, | "Paying homage to the Italian fighter pilot Luciano Serra wouldn't have been necessary as the Italian propaganda film of the same name from 1938 goes back to the ideas of Benito Mussolini."Personnel Stefano Righi – songwriter, vocals Stefano Rota – vocals Michelangelo La Bionda – producer Carmelo La Bionda – producerReferences 1983 singles1983 songsCompagnia Generale del Disco singlesRigheira songsItalian-language songs |

The Old Head coinage or Veiled head coinage were British coins struck between 1893 and 1901, which featured on the obverse a portrait of an aged Queen Victoria wearing a diadem partially hidden by a widow's veil, designed by Thomas Brock. It replaced the Jubilee coinage, struck since 1887, which had been widely criticised both for the portrait of the queen, and because the reverses of most of the coins did not state their monetary values. Some denominations continued with their old reverse designs, with Benedetto Pistrucci's design for the sovereign extended to the half sovereign. New designs for some of the silver coinage were inaugurated, created either by Brock or by Edward Poynter, and all denominations less than the crown, or five-shilling piece, stated their values.Background A new obverse design for British gold and silver coins was introduced in June 1887, designed by Joseph Boehm. This coincided with Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, and the new issue became known as the Jubilee coinage. New reverse designs by Leonard Charles Wyon were introduced at the same time for the silver coins between the sixpence and half crown, and a new coin, the double florin or four-shilling piece, was introduced. The crown, or five-shilling piece, was struck for circulation for the first time since the 1840s.On Boehm's design, Victoria wears a small crown. This was the crown she preferred to wear at the time, due to its light weight, but the design was criticised for making it appear | the crown was about to fall off her head. Further, none of the new silver coin designs bore a statement of the coin's value. The sixpence, which was the same size as the gold half sovereign, was immediately gilded to make it appear to be the |

BAT99-7 is a WN-type Wolf-Rayet star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation of Dorado, about 160,000 light years away. The star has a spectrum containing extremely broad emission lines, and is the prototype for the "round line" stars, Wolf-Rayet stars whose spectra are characterized by strong and broad emission lines with round line profiles. The broad emission lines hint at an extremely high temperature of nearly 160,000 Kelvin, which would make it the hottest of all WN stars with known temperatures, as well as an extraordinarily large mass loss rate for a Wolf-Rayet star in the LMC, | at , which means that every 30,200 years, the star loses 1 solar mass worth of mass.References Stars in the Large Magellanic CloudWolf–Rayet starsDorado (constellation)J04553134-6730028032109 |
Illuminators is a live album by drummer Sunny Murray. It was recorded at the The Knitting Factory in New York City and was released in 1996 by Audible Hiss. On the album, Murray is joined by saxophonist and pianist Charles Gayle.ReceptionIn a review for AllMusic, Rob Ferrier wrote: "Sunny Murray and Charles Gayle... here engage in an intense musical discussion... While the mood can only be described as tense, these musicians pay careful attention to each other, not arguing so much as conversing. This music is dense but never crowded, and never ever directionless... Not many instrumentalists could keep up with Murray's volcano. In Gayle, Murray has found a voice to rival the visceral power he once grappled with in Ayler's band. To both musicians' credit, each seems content to flex their muscle rather than knock the listener about the head and shoulders with it."The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "The duo with Gayle was to provide some of the most ferociously beautiful live moments of the '90s. Inevitably, it transfers to record only with an overall loss of drive, but these five pieces... are as clear a representation of his art as one could hope for.... Murray still cleaves to a dark, punchy groove, the | percussion equivalent of what Cecil Taylor was doing, but with more song in it."Track listingTrack timings not provided.

Mehely's blind mole-rat (Spalax antiquus) is an endangered species of rodent in the family Spalacidae. It is endemic to Romania.Taxonomy Previously described in 1909 by Lajos Méhelÿ as a subspecies of the Balkan mole-rat (S. graecus), a 2013 morphological and phylogenetic analysis found it to be a distinct, well-defined species. It is thought to be the sister species to S. graecus, and it is thought that the Carpathian Orogeny led to the separation of both species. The American Society of Mammalogists and IUCN Red List follow the results of this study.Distribution and habitat This species is restricted to Romania, where it is thought to be an endemic species of the Carpathian Basin. It inhabits steppe and forest-steppe grasslands on the Transylvanian Plain. Its habitats are largely used as pastureland, although it avoids overgrazed pastures.Status This species has suffered a heavy decline in recent decades, and is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List. It is thought to number between 3,550 and 3,800 mature individuals, and may have been extirpated from the southern and southeastern regions of the Transylvanian Plain.The primary threat to this species are the different factors leading to habitat loss; most populations only survive in suboptimal habitat due as the heavy cultivation of the most favorable habitats, which are fertile loess soils. The most important factor leading to its decline is deep tillage, which prevents the formation of suitable vegetation types and destroys the burrows of this species. In addition, this | species is threatened by development and overgrazing of its habitats. Climate change may also affect this species, as genetic and fossil evidence indicates |

East Timor consumes 125 GWh of electricity per annum, an average of 95 kWh per person. The country has about 80 MW of electricity capacity, 19 MW in Dili — the capital has an electrification rate of 85%, but rural electrification is at just 5–18%: total nationwide electrification is just 22% (one of the lowest electrification rates of any country in the world). Only the capital and Baucau have uninterrupted supply.Most of the energy infrastructure was destroyed by the Indonesians during the 1999 East Timorese crisis. In 2005, the government identified the high price of electricity (US$0.20 per kWh) as a deterrent to development.

Palyanytsia (Паляни́ця) is a type of Ukrainian hearth-baked bread, made mostly of wheat flour. The bread has a semi-circular cut across the top third of the load.Etymology The word comes from "пали́ти", the Ukrainian word for "to burn" or "smoke". This is because, when baking the bread, the raised crust can sometimes be burned. In the 19th century, the Russians used similar names.Ahatanhel Krymsky,a noted Ukrainophile and scholar, believed that the word "palyanitsa" comes from the Greek "pelanos" (Πελανος).Recipe Traditional palyanitsa was baked from yeast dough. First, hops were boiled in a pot, which was then poured into a makitra, to which sifted wheat flour was added. The resulting dough was kneaded, covered with a makitra and left to cool. Yeast or sourdough was added to the cooled dough and placed in an unheated oven overnight. In the morning, the dough that had already risen was kneaded with wheat flour, and warm water and salt were | added. The dough was then kneaded at night until it stopped sticking to the baker's hands. After that, the dough was divided into pieces, which were then rolled out on the table. The resulting bread |
