Borders Sevens Circuit

The Borders Sevens Circuit is a series of rugby sevens tournaments held annually in the Scottish Borders. Originally the circuit consisted of 5 tournaments; Langholm Sevens being the last added in 1908. As such it is the oldest Sevens circuit in the world; as the first Sevens tournament outside Scotland was held in Percy Park in North Shields in 1921 and there were no other circuits at that time. The main circuit has now grown to 11 tournaments; 10 in Scotland and 1 - the Berwick Sevens - in England. The circuit has now extended into a league known as Kings of the Sevens. Of the extended circuit only the Walkerburn Sevens is not included in this league. The Kings of the Sevens championship is run by the Border League. History The original Borders Sevens Circuit consisted of the Melrose Sevens (founded 1883), Gala Sevens (1884), Hawick Sevens (1886), Jed-Forest Sevens (1894) and Langholm Sevens (1908). This was known as the Spring Circuit. Walkerburn Sevens started in 1911. It is traditionally the last tournament of the Sevens season and is instead treated as a finale. Other Sevens tournaments were added to the calendar after the First World War:- Selkirk Sevens (1919); Kelso Sevens (1920), Peebles Sevens (1923) and Earlston Sevens (1923). These were originally pre-season tournaments. The last tournament added to the Borders Sevens Circuit was the Berwick Sevens in 1983. Schedule Traditional Sevens schedule was changed by the Scottish Rugby Union in order to allow more time for the regular rugby season. Controversially, due to the influence of former national coach Jim Telfer, Melrose RFC did not have to change its date. As of 2011, Sevens will take place on consecutive weekends in April and May. The schedule is due to change again for season 2019-20. Invited sides Each of the Sevens tournaments has a history of invited sides. Melrose Sevens - the World's most prestigious Sevens tournament - as it was the birthplace of the sport - notably has the most; attracting teams globally. The likes of the French Barbarians (1983); Ireland Wolfhounds (1991); Bay of Plenty (1992); Manly (1995); Hamilton RFC, Sea Point (2010) and Saracens (2012, 2013) have all won the event. Outwith the Melrose tournament the likes of London Welsh won Hawick Sevens in 1969; London Scottish won the Kelso Sevens in 1991; Newcastle Falcons won Langholm Sevens between 2005 and 2008; the Barbarians and Harlequins entered the Gala Sevens in 1976; and Northampton Saints have won the Selkirk Sevens in 1991 and 1993. International 7s sides International 7s sides often take part amongst the club sides. Fiji 7s beat Canada 7s in the 1991 Gala Sevens final. Scotland 7s won the final of the Kelso Sevens in 1996 beating Kenya 7s; and Scotland 7s won the Selkirk Sevens in 1996 beating the Wales 7s side in the final. Germany 7s reached the final of the Melrose Sevens in 2015, losing out to Glasgow Warriors. Main circuit The new circuit has thus been extended from the original 5 tournaments in Spring. The Borders Sevens circuit now contains

Halsewell (East Indiaman)

The Halsewell was an East Indiaman that was wrecked on 6 January 1786 at the start of a voyage from London to Madras. She lost her masts in a violent storm in the English Channel, and was driven onto the rocks below a cliff on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. The vicar of nearby Worth Matravers recorded the event in his parish register: Of over 240 crew and passengers, only 74 survived. The shipwreck shocked the nation. The King visited the scene of the tragedy. The wreck of the Halsewell was the subject of poems, paintings and an orchestral symphony. Many years later Charles Dickens described the wreck in a short story. First voyages The Halsewell was an East-Indiaman of 776 tons, launched in 1778. She had three decks, a length of and a breadth of . Throughout her career she was under the command of Captain Richard Pierce. On her maiden voyage the Halsewell sailed to Madras and China, leaving Portsmouth on 6 March 1779 and after stopping at Madeira, Gorée and the Cape of Good Hope reached Madras on 18 January 1780. She then sailed on via Malacca to Whampoa, which she reached on 1 September 1780. On her return voyage she stopped at Saint Helena on 19 May 1781 and reached the Downs on 20 October 1781. On her second voyage the Halsewell left Portsmouth on 11 March 1783, stopped at São Tiago and Johanna and reached Madras on 26 July 1783. The ship returned via Kedgeree, Saugor and Saint Helena, reaching the Downs on 28 August 1784. Last voyage Before her last voyage, the Halsewell was considered to be in excellent condition, with an ample and experienced crew. On 16 November 1785 she dropped down the Thames to Gravesend to take on supplies for her third voyage to the east. At the end of December the passengers boarded at the Hope, including a sizable contingent of soldiers being sent as reinforcements to the East India Company. The passengers included the two daughters of Captain Pierce. Pierce was the oldest of the East India company's captains, and planned to retire after the voyage. The ship sailed through the Downs on 1 January 1786. The wind died the next day, offshore from the Dunnose headland on the south east of the Isle of Wight, becalming the ship. During the afternoon of 2 January a breeze came up from the south, and the ship ran in closer to shore to be able to land the pilot. That evening a snowstorm began and the ship anchored in 18 fathoms of water. Due to the weather conditions it was not possible to furl all the sails. On 3 January a violent gale began to blow from east of northeast. The crew cut the anchor cable so the ship could run out to sea. At noon that day they met a brig, who took the pilot, then continued westward down the channel. In the evening the wind increased in strength, now coming from the south. The gale carried a heavy load of

Alexei Kervezee

Alexei Nicolaas Kervezee (born 11 September 1989) is a former Namibian-born Dutch first-class cricketer. He now coaches county cricket at Worcester cricket club pathway Domestic career In late September 2006, Worcestershire County Cricket Club announced that they had signed Kervezee to play county cricket on a two-year contract. The county's chief executive Mark Newton called him "a very accomplished and exciting young talent", while Dutch bowling coach Ian Pont claimed that the youngster's story had "shades of Graeme Hick" about it. Kervezee himself said that he was "looking forward to learning from such great players and coaches". Kervezee was given several opportunities in the second half of the 2009 season and made an impression with some assured displays. He scored his first half-century for the club on 30 June 2009 when he made 66 in the second innings of the game against Durham. Kervezee has been a permanent fixture in the Worcestershire side throughout the 2010 season and has consistently impressed with the bat, scoring quickly and showing stroke-making abilities of the highest order. Having fallen one run short of his maiden first-class century in the game against Leicestershire County Cricket Club, he scored 130 in the following game against Derbyshire County Cricket Club at Worcester where his parents had travelled from Rotterdam to watch him play. In the return fixture at Derby, he improved his highest innings total, hitting 155. He is only the fourth Dutch player to hit a first-class century in English cricket, following in the footsteps of Roland Lefebvre, Bas Zuiderent and current Essex County Cricket Club and Netherlands international Ryan ten Doeschate. He signed a five-year contract with Worcestershire County Cricket Club in July 2010 In 2012, Kervezee signed a deal worth $35,000 to play for Dhaka Gladiators in Bangladesh Premier League. He missed most of the 2012–13 English County season due to a broken finger. The injury occurred during Worcestershire County Cricket Club's match in the Friends Life T20 cup, against Somerset County Cricket Club. International career Kervezee rose rapidly and smartly through age-group cricket in the Netherlands, and in late July 2005, aged only 15, he made his first-class debut for his national team against Scotland in the Intercontinental Cup. This game was badly affected by the weather and Kervezee did not get to bat, but the following month in the same competition he scored 46 not out against Ireland. He also played against Kenya in March 2006. In April 2006, Kervezee played his first List A matches, for Netherlands A against India A and Pakistan A cricket team at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The Netherlands A team were badly beaten in both games, but Kervezee's scores of 26 and 25 were among the highest in each Dutch innings. His bowling was singularly unsuccessful, however, with his four overs going for 39 runs. On 4 July 2006 he made his One Day International debut against Sri Lankan cricket team at Amstelveen's VRA Ground. It was a chastening experience overall for the Dutch team as Sri Lanka piled up 443/9, a world record ODI score,

Utrecht (agglomeration)

The city of Utrecht and the surrounding cities, villages, and townships form an agglomeration in the middle of The Netherlands. It is located entirely in the province of Utrecht, and is the eastern part of so-called North Wing the larger Randstad urban area. The agglomeration has a population of about 690.000 people (a rough estimate based on data collected in 2001-2012). The following towns are commonly recognized as part of the agglomeration: This interpretation of what is to be acknowledged the greater Utrecht area, is the most common one. The physically joint urban area (the innercity-Utrecht area and its surrounding authentic quarters, boroughs and outskirts; the town of Maarssen, which is connected to Utrecht by the Utrecht district of Zuilen and the Lage Weide industrial area; Nieuwegein which has grown attached to the south of the city during the seventies and nineties. To which are attached the smaller suburban towns of IJsselstein and Vianen; the former villages of De Meern and Vleuten, which have been annexed - also formally - by the Utrecht municipality and the western city expansion of Leidsche Rijn; the chained towns of De Bilt and Bilthoven, who are nearly connected to the east side of the city with less than a mile of recreational areas and infrastructure separating both) houses around half a million people. The other 100-200.000 inhabitants making up the entire agglomeration population mostly live in slightly more distant towns such as Zeist, Bunnik, Houten, Breukelen etc. These suburban towns and villages are situated, averagely about four of five miles from the outer districts of Utrecht city. The larger economic, cultural and educational area of which the city of Utrecht is the main centre is equal to the province of Utrecht excluding the small agglomeration of Amersfoort and the town of Veenendaal (which are more self-sufficient and self-orientated). It provides shopping facilities, employment, some large hospitals, cinemas, recreation and other facilities for around 800.000 people. If Woerden, Breukelen and Culemborg are to by included in the greater Utrecht area (seen the vast forensism towards the city) the population would be around 750.000. In the 1970s and 1980s, large residential areas were built in Maarssen and Zeist, as well as in the new town Nieuwegein. In the 1990s, construction of new houses was concentrated in the new town Houten and in the Leidsche Rijn neighbourhood. Footnotes Category:Geography of Utrecht (province)

HMS Bristol (1711)

HMS Bristol was a 50-gun fourth-rate ship of the line built for the Royal Navy in the first decade of the 18th century. Description Bristol had a length at the gundeck of and at the keel. She had a beam of and a depth of hold of . The ship's tonnage was 722 tons burthen. Bristol was armed with twenty-two 18-pounder cannon on her main gundeck, twenty-two 9-pounder cannon on her upper gundeck, and four 6-pounder cannon each on the quarterdeck and forecastle. The ship had a crew of 250 officers and ratings. Construction and career Bristol, named after the eponymous port, was ordered on 24 April 1709. The ship was built by Master Shipwright John Lock at Plymouth Dockyard according to the 1706 Establishment, and launched on 8 May 1711. She commissioned that same year under Captain J. Hemmington and was assigned to The Downs Squadron. The following year, the ship sailed to Gibraltar and then to Salé in 1713. Bristol had a major refit from August 1716 to April 1718 at Portsmouth that cost £6,825 and a lesser one in Aug-October 1738 that cost £1,435. The ship commissioned in August under the command of Captain William Chambers for service in home waters. Three years later, now under the command of Captain Benjamin Young, she accompanied a convoy bound for the West Indies in early 1741. On 22 November 1742 Bristol was ordered to be dismantled for rebuilding. Unlike the vast majority of ships of the line rebuilt during the Establishment era, Bristol was not reconstructed according to the establishment in effect at the time (in this case, the 1741 proposals of the 1719 Establishment). She shared her dimensions with the later, newly built . Bristol was relaunched on 9 July 1746 and took part in the unsuccessful attack on Martinique in January 1759. Bristol was broken up in 1768.

AC58

The AC 58 (Anti-Char, 58 mm) is an anti-armour rifle grenade used by the French Army. Its official French Army designation is Grenade à fusil antichar de 58 mm Mle F1 PAB. Design The AC 58 comprises a body with a shaped charge warhead and a tail fitted with stabilizing fins. Detonation is initiated by a nose impact and a base fuse. Luchaire designed it at the end of the 1970s to replace the existing STRIM 65 rifle grenade design dating from 1961 that had become obsolescent. The AC 58 uses a bullet trap that allows the use of ball cartridges, rather than the older method that required a blank cartridge to propel the grenade. Use To launch, the AC58 is placed over the muzzle of a FAMAS or any NATO rifle with a STANAG muzzle device. Then the rifle is pointed at the target and fired. The impact of the bullet striking the bullet-trap and the expanding gases launches and arms the grenade, which explodes on impact. The AC58 is used in direct fire. Under an optimal angle, the AC 58 is capable of piercing 350 mm of armour. FAMAS provides a built in an alidade-type device for aiming to 75 to 100 metres. The Luchaire Wasp 58 individual antiarmour-assault weapon also uses the AC58's warhead.

Argyresthia curvella

__NOTOC__ Argyresthia curvella is a species of ermine moth (family Yponomeutidae). It belongs to subfamily Argyresthiinae, which is sometimes elevated to full family rank in the superfamily Yponomeutoidea. It is commonly called apple blossom tineid, reflecting the fact that it was originally believed to be a tineid moth (family Tinieidae). This small moth is widespread in northwestern Eurasia. It is absent from Iberia and probably the entire Balkans, and generally ranges southwards only to the northern Mediterranean region; a possibly isolated population occurs in the Caucasus region. Where it occurs, it is usually not rare and may be abundant. The nocturnal adults are attracted to light sources; they are on the wing around June/July or somewhat later, depending on the location. The wingspan of adults is 10–12 mm. As usual for Yponomeutidae, the forewings have a bold black-and-white pattern, which fades easily in museum specimens though. The pattern consists of a thick oblique black line running from the center of the forewings' dorsal margin to somewhat nearer the apex on the costal margin. From the apex, a thinner and often somewhat irregular black band extends to meet the first one. The remaining areas of the forewings are generously sprinkled with small black blotches. The hindwings are pale greyish, as is the body. The caterpillars feed on Malus (apple) trees, where they eat the blossoms; it has also been suspected that they eat rotting apple wood at least occasionally. They may become a pest in apple orchards, if they occur in abundance. Synonyms Invalid scientific names (junior synonyms and others) of the apple blossom tineid are: Argyresthia cornella (auct. non Fabricius, 1775: misidentification) Phalaena curvella Linnaeus, 1761 Tinea arcella Fabricius, 1776 Tinea cornella (auct. non Fabricius, 1775: misidentification) The species has been confused with the somewhat similar and fairly closely related hawthorn moth (Scythropia crataegella) – the actual species described as Tinea cornella by J.C. Fabricius in 1775 – even in recent times.

The Tae Baek Mountains

The Tae Baek Mountains is a South Korean roman-fleuve written by Jo Jung-rae. 15700 sheets of manuscript paper were used. It was published serially through Hyundai Munhak (which means "Modern Literature") from September 1983. HanGil and HaeNaem published it. Plot After Japanese colonial rule over Korea ended, the tension between left-wing and right-wing increased in the Korean peninsula. In the town of Beolgyo-eup, Boseong County, South Jeolla Province, Yeom Sang-jin and the communist partisans capture the town temporarily when the Yeosu–Suncheon rebellion of 1948 occurred. But soon they are routed and sneak into Jirisan. When they were in power, they execute many landlords and the former pro-Japanese. This led to the collocation of the troops from government near Beolgyo. South Korean government troops, officers and right wing henchmen are trying to mop up the communist partisans. The partisans and left-wing intellectuals act secretly against South Korean government. When the Korean War breaks out, the communist partisans seize the town again with the help of the Soviet Red Army and Chinese People's Volunteer Army. Assessment This roman-fleuve describe well the fierce ideological conflict between political groups and the tragic stories of victims. The right-wing criticized that the book benefits the enemy and persecuted the author. But many Korean students and intellectuals loved the work. In the novel, many characters use their own Jeolla dialects, and the scene of Beolgyo was portrayed in detail like a watercolor picture.

Mörder, Hoffnung der Frauen

Mörder, Hoffnung der Frauen (Murderer, Hope of Women) is an opera in one act by Paul Hindemith, written in 1919 on a German libretto by Oskar Kokoschka which he based on his play of 1907. The opera was the first in a triptych of expressionist one-act operas, the others being Das Nusch-Nuschi, and Sancta Susanna. They were the first operas written by Hindemith. The first two were premiered together in Stuttgart on 4 June 1921, all three were performed at the Oper Frankfurt in 1922. History Mörder, Hoffnung der Frauen was the first piece in a triptych of one-act operas by Hindemith influenced by Expressionism. The artist and writer Oskar Kokoschka wrote the play of the same name in 1907 and modified it several times. Hindemith experienced World War I as a soldier in Belgium and Northern France. In a second wave of expressionism after the war, he became interested in the movement and composed the work in 1919. He based it on the last version of the play, which he set with only few cuts. The musicologist Joel Haney notes that he "attempts to give mythic expression to a violent struggle between the sexes". The opera was first performed, together with Das Nusch-Nuschi, on 4 June 1921 at the Landestheater in Stuttgart, conducted by Fritz Busch and staged by Otto Erhardt. The artist Oskar Schlemmer was responsible for the stage set, costumes and choreography. The duration is given as 24 minutes. Roles and performers Music and reception The conductor Leon Botstein describes the work as "more symphonic than operatic", structured in four distinct sections, equivalent to the movements of a symphony. Hindemith draws on models from Richard Strauss regarding instrumentation, from Franz Schreker's "opulence", and Richard Wagner's lyricism, at times in irony, for example when the second theme alludes to Tristan und Isolde. The musicologist Giselher Schubert summarizes "Direct expression and deliberate formal design are not at odds in this expressionism, but rather rely on each other." The premiere resulted in a succès de scandale: while some critics appreciated "a composer of enormous talent and promise", negative responses established Hindemith’s "reputation as a young upstart". Performances and recordings The opera was recorded in 1987 by the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and the RIAS-Kammerchor, conducted by Gerd Albrecht, with Franz Grundheber as the Man and Gabriele Schnaut as the Woman.

External reference pricing

External reference pricing (ERP), also known as international reference pricing, is the practice of regulating the price of a medication in one country, by comparing with the price in a "basket" of other reference countries. It contrasts with internal reference pricing, where the price of one drug is compared to the domestic price of therapeutically related drugs, and with cost-plus pricing, where the price involves negotiating an acceptable markup to the unit cost to develop and produce. Policy-making For using ERP in medicine cost regulation policies, the Euripid collaboration recommends the following 12 key principles: ERP is an important tool but should not be used as the sole criterion, but rather in a mix with other instruments. ERP should compare single specific products rather than based on indices. The reference countries basket should be chosen in accordance with the aim of the national pharmaceutical policy. Evidence has shown that ERP is most effective when applied to pharmaceuticals without generic or therapeutic competition. Price comparison should be done on the first price in the pharmaceutical distribution chain. When pharmaceuticals are considered as comparable, competent authorities should describe clear and transparent procedures. Pricing formula applied for ERP should reflect the national pricing policy objective. ERP procedures should be done with the highest possible accuracy and completeness of data sources. If price information is adjusted to national requirements, it should be done transparently and in a sustainable manner. ERP activities should be carefully planned and be considered as a policy tool for price revisions and monitoring. The procedures and price inputs to ERP should be transparent to ensure predictability and effectiveness. Policy-makers should consider strengthening their cooperation, in particular through the contribution and benefits of existing policies. Human rights Access to needed essential medicines is an international human right, also named the "right to health", as stated by the United Nations and the WHO. In 2001, the World Health Assembly passed the resolution No. 54.11 that called for exploring the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing systems to ensure medicines affordability and availability. The WHO/HAI methodology and database is one of the projects that were created in response, along with the WHO recommending the implementation of centralized price sharing systems and the implementation of pharmaceutical price cost-containment policies. Medication cost policies Medicines pricing policies are defined as "regulations and processes used by government authorities to set the price of a medicine as part of exercising price control". ERP is a mechanism for price control, or cost-containment policy. A quarter of all health expenditures globally is on medicines. However, authorities may want to control other components than price, such as prescription volumes. ERP is a widely accepted tool to design cost-containment policies, used in the European Union, Brazil, Jordan, South Africa, Canada, and Australia. This is used as the main drug pricing strategy in 23 of 27 European countries in 2019. In 2010, 20 members out of 27 in the European Union and 24 countries in the OCDE were using it. For this usage, each country usually has a legal framework to define the calculation of ERP

1981 Cleveland Browns season

The 1981 Cleveland Browns season was the team's 32nd season with the National Football League. In a highly disappointing season filled with a number of key injuries at different stretches during the campaign, the Browns finished the year with five straight defeats, their longest losing streak since 1975, and dropped seven of their final eight games. By contrast, in 1980, the Browns enjoyed a five-game winning streak, their longest since 1976, and won eight of nine during one stretch. Season summary In 1980, the Kardiac Kids reached their zenith with last-second win after last-second win–13 of the 16 games were decided in the final two minutes—they finished 11–5 and captured the AFC Central crown. Every time the Browns needed to make a play, they did so. Every time they needed something good to happen, it did. As much of a storybook, magic season it was, it was even more so for quarterback Brian Sipe, as he set a franchise record for touchdown passes with 30 en route to being named the NFL MVP. The season came to an abrupt halt in dramatic and disappointing fashion with a 14–12 divisional playoff loss to the Oakland Raiders when Sipe's ill-fated pass into the end zone in the waning seconds on a play called Red Right 88 was intercepted. But rather than an end, that game was looked upon at the time as being simply a beginning, and the Browns and their fans fully expected to take the next step in 1981 and get that elusive first appearance in the Super Bowl—or the "Siper Bowl", as it was referred to in Cleveland. As it turned out, the Browns did indeed have a similar kind of season in 1981—eight of the games were decided by six points or less, and five were decided by three points or less. Only this time, the Browns were on the losing end of things. Every time they needed to make a play, they didn't. Every time they needed something good to happen, it didn't. In 1980, Sipe broke nearly every club passing record, throwing, as mentioned, for 30 TDs with just 14 interceptions while completing nearly 61 percent of his passes, good for a 91.4 quarterback rating. In 1981, he threw more interceptions (25) than TDs (17), his completion rate fell to just over 55 percent and his quarterback rating plummeted to 68.2. As the quarterback goes, so goes any team, which explains the rise and fall of the Browns in 1980 and '81. FB Mike Pruitt rushed for more than 1,000 yards (1,103) for the third straight year in 1981, and caught 63 passes for the second season in a row. Tight end Ozzie Newsome set a team record (since broken) for receptions with 69 and had the second-most receiving yards in Browns history at the time with 1,002. HB Greg Pruitt established a personal best with 65 catches. Ironically, through the 2019 NFL season the 1981 Browns are the only team since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to have beaten both eventual Super Bowl participants, the Super Bowl

Dark Shadows (2004 TV pilot)

Dark Shadows is a one-hour television pilot that was a remake of the 1966–1971 gothic soap opera television series Dark Shadows. The pilot was commissioned by The WB and produced in 2004, but not picked up for a series. Plot The plot focused on Victoria Winters arriving by train to Collinsport. She is welcomed by Mrs. Stoddard, but experiences strange and disturbing dreams upon her first night in the house. She meets David Collins, who is constantly plagued by memories of his mother. Meanwhile, Willie Loomis and his girlfriend go to the Collinsport crypt in search of a treasure and open Barnabas's coffin. In the process, she cuts her hand and some blood falls upon the desiccated corpse, reviving him. Barnabas drains the girlfriend and attacks Willie. He later attacks Carolyn, walking home from a romantic encounter with Joe Haskell on his boat. Barnabas Collins presents himself at Collinwood, and Victoria feels immediately drawn to him. He asks permission to restore the Old House, and although Roger cautions him against it, he is determined to proceed. David and Victoria visit the Old House and Barnabas shows Victoria a portrait of Josette DuPres, which greatly resembles her. This is in Josette's room, which had been walled up until now. Willie, now working for Barnabas, bears fang marks and cannot say enough about Barnabas. At night David wakes and goes into the wood, where he removes a dagger from the ground. What might be the spirit of Angelique is now apparently free. Meanwhile, Dr. Julia Hoffman at the hospital confirms that Carolyn's wounds match those of the corpse of Willie's girlfriend, who washes up on shore completely drained of blood. Victoria goes to the hospital with Mrs. Stoddard to visit Carolyn, currently on life support. Carolyn, late at night, wakes and looks longingly out the hospital window, murmuring "Come back." When Victoria drives back to Collinwood she seemingly hits Angelique with her car. Angelique, who has crashed through the windscreen, and Victoria both scream. Cast Alec Newman as Barnabas Collins: An undead vampire accidentally released after being locked away for 200 years. He is tormented by his curse.

Frederick M. Crunden

Frederick Morgan Crunden (September 1, 1847 – October 28, 1911) was the head librarian of the St. Louis Public Library in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1877 to 1909 and the President of the American Library Association in 1889-1890. Crunden was born in Gravesend, England to Benjamin and Mary (Morgan) Crunden. The family immigrated to the United States and settled in St. Louis, Missouri when Crunden was still a child. He attended Washington University, St. Louis, graduating in 1868 with a bachelor of arts. Crunden taught in St. Louis public schools and at Washington University where he received a master's degree in 1872. In January 1877 he became secretary and librarian of the St. Louis public library which was, at the time, part of the St. Louis Public Schools. In 1904 Crunden hosted the American Library Association annual meeting at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, which was attended by more than 500 librarians from 17 countries. Crunden focused on the relationship of schools and libraries, developing them in St. Louis so that they were modeled for others nationwide. He advocated and promoted a strong partnership between the National Education Association and the American Library Association. Crunden led an expansion of the St. Louis public schools library and oversaw its conversion into a free public library. He served as the first president of the Missouri state library association.

Kentucky cave shrimp

The Kentucky cave shrimp (Palaemonias ganteri) is an eyeless, troglobite shrimp. It lives in caves in Barren County, Edmonson County, Hart County and Warren County, Kentucky. The shrimp's shell has no pigment; the species is nearly transparent and closely resembles its nearest relative, the Alabama cave shrimp. The habitat of the Kentucky cave shrimp is exclusively in underground streams of caves. It is endemic to the Mammoth Cave National Park region of central Kentucky. The shrimp feeds mainly on sediments that are washed into the cave by the movement of groundwater. Conservation The Kentucky cave shrimp was registered as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act in 1983, and was included on the IUCN Red List as Endangered in 1994. There are currently only several thousand remaining. It is mostly threatened by contaminated groundwater running into its habitat. Several nearby communities either have inadequate sewage treatment facilities or lack such facilities altogether. An additional potential threat is the entry of contaminants from traffic accidents and roadside businesses. One incident in 1979 caused the death of aquatic cave organisms in a part of the Mammoth Cave system, and in a 1980 incident, a truck carrying toxic cyanide salts overturned on Interstate 65, just south of Mammoth Cave National Park. A recovery plan is underway which includes: Surveying the location and extent of all areas supporting shrimp Conducting life history and other research required to determine what constitutes a viable population Monitoring population status Maintaining adequate water quality; Protecting the shrimp from introduced predators Producing and conducting public education programs.

Chantada

Chantada, is a municipality in the province of Lugo, Galicia, Spain. Chantada is situated on the left bank of the Río Asma, a small right-hand tributary of the Minho river, and on the main road from Ourense, 29 km S. by W., to Lugo, 45 km N. by E. Chantada is the chief town of the fertile region between the Minho and the heights of O Faro, which mark the western border of the province. Despite the lack of railway communication, it has a thriving trade in grain, flax, hemp, and dairy produce. History Prehistory To study the history of Chantada, we must be go back to the days of the prehistoric castros that had a large presence in the municipality. The castro configuration is still visible on the architecture of the castles of Líncora, Centulle, San Sebastián, Nogueira, Moreda and Castro Candaz. Several monuments were erected over castros in the area, like the monastery of San Salvador de Asma, the fortress of Paderne (Muradelle), the tower of Arcos, the tower of Pereira, the tower of Quinteliña (San Salvador de Asma), the tower of Teixeiro (Nogueira), the tower of Vilaúxe, and Merlán. The anthropomorphic sarcophagi of Fornas are other of the vestiges of the early inhabitants of the municipality. Roman Age Located close to the branch Chaves-Lugo of the Via Bracara Asturicam, that connected the modern cities of Braga, in Portugal, and Astorga, in Castilla y Leon, Chantada has numerous vestiges of the Roman presence in the zone, like the fortified village of Castro Candaz. According to the documentation belonging to the Camba's house, Castro Candaz was founded by the Roman consul Lucio Cambero. He was related to the "Galician mountain people", who would fight along with the tribe of the Aunonians against two Roman legions sent by Emperor Trajan. After the defeat, Lucio Cambero retires to the fortress. Middle Ages According to Formoso Lamas, during the second strike of Norman invasions, the Vikings overcame Mount Faro and reached Chantada, where a fence was erected (Plantata). After sweeping the town, the Vikings continued advancing and the nobles of the town took refuge in Castro Candaz, guarded by the family of Erice or Eriz. where they received the help of the troops of King Ramiro I of Asturias. During the middle ages possibly Castro was linked to some type of port that had crossed Miño through this band. References Category:Municipalities in the Province of Lugo

Plasmodium RUF3 RNA

RUF3 is a non-coding RNA(ncRNA) present within the plasmodium genome. Bioinformatic studies predicted that RUF3 was present within the plasmodium genome and the expression of this ncRNA was verified by Northern Blot. The location of this ncRNAs was subsequently mapped within the P. falciparum strain 3DF genome by primer extension. RUF3 is a novel RNA of unknown function but has shown to contain some structural similarity with the H/ACA box snoRNA but no known targets have been identified. References Category:Non-coding RNA

The Desert Sun

The Desert Sun is a local daily newspaper serving Palm Springs and the surrounding Coachella Valley in Southern California. History The Desert Sun is owned by Gannett publications since 1988 and acquired the Indio Daily News in 1990 to become the sole local newspaper. First issued on August 5, 1927, as a weekly six-page newspaper, The Desert Sun grew with the desert communities it serves. It covers local, state, national and world news, and has developed a variety of sections over time. The newspaper began to publish six days a week in 1955 and had their first Sunday edition on September 8, 1991. Their circulation to date is 50,000 and their distribution range is in regional communities from Beaumont to Twentynine Palms to the Salton Sea. The Desert Suns headquarters are in Palm Springs, in an office complex built in 1991 to replace a smaller building. The Desert Sun publishes the Desert Post Weekly, a variety entertainment paper available on every Thursday in the distribution range, as well as city-specific publications The Indio Sun, The La Quinta Sun, The Palm Springs Weekend, The Palm Desert Sun and The Cathedral City Sun. In 2010, the second page of the primary section is known as "7 by 7:30AM", to focus on the editor's selected seven most important stories of the day. The namesake was to estimate how long it takes to read the second page in half an hour (from 7:00 AM to 7:30 AM). Greg Burton served as executive editor of the paper from 2011–2018, before leaving to become executive editor of The Arizona Republic. As of October 8, 2018, the executive editor became Julie Makinen. Makinen previously worked for The Washington Post, International New York Times, and L.A.

Arok Thon Arok

Arok Thon Arok was a politician from Southern Sudan. He first served in the Sudanese military before he and others founded Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) in 1983. He defected to the Sudanese government after his dissatisfaction with the SPLA. He was therefore, given the 5th position in the high-ranking command of the SPLA before his defection. Early life Arok was a Dinka Bor from the Twic community of Kongor. He is known by some to be related to Dr. John Garang De Mabior. He was in Kongor in 1984 to 1985 as the regional commander for Mading Bor. He almost died of thirst between Juba and Mading Bor when he and his troops travelled in an area where there was no water. He was succeeded by Commander Kuol Manyang Juuk as the leader in Mading Bor. He had some disagreements with the leadership of Garang. In 1987 his wife Mrs Elizabeth Thon Arok died and he went to London to place his children in school and he return with his daughter Eileen Thon Arok. Imprisonment Rumors had it that Commander Arok was imprisoned and later dismissed by Garang after he secretly made an agreement with the Sudanese government officials in London. His plan was to overthrow Dr. Garang and lead SPLA back to Sudan. In late 1992 Arok escaped from SPLA imprisonment, together with Kerubino Kuanyin. Return to Sudan In early 90s Arok returned to Khartoum. He was known as the leader of Twic/Tuic East group which was part of the Khartoum Peace Agreement signed by Dr. Riek Machar and the Sudanese government. Death Arok died in the 1998 Sudan Air Force crash at Nasir. Others killed included First Vice President Zubair Mohamed Salih, Governor Tongyiik Tut Colonel Elijah Manyok Lual, Mr. Gang Chol Joak. Dr. Lam Akol survived the crash.

Jori Finkel

Jori Finkel (born October 15, 1970) is an American writer and editor who specializes in contemporary art. She is best known for analyzing the inner workings of the art market and for chronicling the Los Angeles art scene during its expansion at the beginning of the 21st century. She is currently a contributor to The New York Times from Los Angeles and the L.A. correspondent for The Art Newspaper. Background Finkel graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in English from Columbia University in New York and earned her M.A. in English and Comparative Literature at Stanford University. She studied the history of the avant-gardes through a doctoral program at Stanford but apparently did not complete the Ph.D. She married Michael Benjamin Lubic on Sept. 14, 2008 on a sailboat in the Santa Monica Bay. She told an interviewer from Zocalo Public Square that her introduction to the art world occurred in college when she worked for the Columbia Bartending Agency in New York—she bartended for Julian Schnabel parties at the Mary Boone gallery. Editing From 1998 to 2004 she was senior editor at Art+Auction magazine in New York. She published a memory of Bruce Wolmer, the longtime Art+Auction editor, when he died in 2010. Teaching Finkel developed a course for Otis College of Art and Design in 2007 called Popular Art Writing. Journalism The New York Times From 2005 to 2009 and again since 2013, she has covered visual art for The New York Times on a freelance basis. She has written Arts & Leisure features on numerous California artists, including Robert Irwin, John Baldessari, Karl Benjamin, Doug Aitken, Stanya Kahn and Harry Dodge, Enrique Martinez Celaya, Lynn Hershman, Andrea Zittel and David Hockney. She broke news about the hard-sell strategies for unauthenticated Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso prints taking place through cruise ship auctions. This article led to additional class-action lawsuits and major lines such as Disney and Royal Caribbean cancelling contracts with the auction house. She also wrote an early report on the questionable ethics of museums soliciting financial donations from galleries for museum exhibitions featuring gallery artists. This article had little lasting impact: a report nine years later in The New York Times showed the problem to be much more extensive. Los Angeles Times As staff art reporter at the L.A. Times from 2010 through 2013, Finkel wrote a mix of feature articles and news stories. Her investigation into the finances of the nonprofit Watts House Project prompted the resignation of its founding director, Edgar Arceneaux. Controversy Finkel's job as the art reporter of the L.A. Times was eliminated in July 2013 in a round of layoffs, one of several during a period when the newspaper was up for sale. In response, 15 California museum directors sent a letter to the editor of the L.A. Times calling for her reinstatement and calling her the "go-to source here for art-world news and analysis, with articles that are consistently insightful and accessible and a byline that is read around the world." The letter's lead authors were Ann Philbin, director of

KZ Manager

KZ Manager is a name shared by many similar resource management computer video games that put the player in the role of a Nazi concentration camp commandant or "manager", where the "resources" to be managed include, depending on the version of the game, prisoners (either Jews, Turks or Gypsies), poison gas supplies, "normal" money and various equipment, as well as "public opinion" on the "productivity" of the camp. The game has been indexed by the German Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons which means that it is forbidden to distribute the game in Germany. Gameplay The goal of the game is to keep the camp functioning by keeping the "public opinion" or other important resources and gauges over or under a certain threshold. In one version, public opinion rises when the "manager" executes a number of prisoners with Zyklon B. However, ordering said gas costs money, which can be gathered by forcing the prisoners to work. Spending too much time without a "sufficient" number of executions makes "public satisfaction" drop, and having too few working prisoners will soon drive to a resource shortage, and closing of the camp, thus losing the game. Also, prisoners must be "purchased" by the camp's "manager", and the corpses of the deceased prisoners must be disposed of (the game describes them as "Müllberg", German for "garbage mountain " or "pile of garbage"), an operation which also has an associated cost. Like other resource management games, this means that ultimately the goal of the game is trying to find an optimal balance and timing between expenses, income, actions and "production goals", although with a highly controversial twist. History In 1991, The New York Times reported that "KZ Manager," was one of about 140 games with similar themes. Austrian newspapers reported that a poll of students in one city found 39 percent knew of the games and 22 percent had encountered them. "KZ" is the German shorthand for concentration camp. Versions Each game version was released several times and began to circulate in Austria and Germany during the 1990s; the earliest versions being DOS, text mode games, graphical DOS versions as well as a Windows version called "KZ manager millennium". According to a 1991 article written by Linda Rohrbough, an Amiga version has been found to exist. Gameplay and graphics of the Amiga version and its 256 color DOS port were far more advanced than in the original C64 game.

Rule of three (statistics)

In statistical analysis, the rule of three states that if a certain event did not occur in a sample with subjects, the interval from 0 to 3/ is a 95% confidence interval for the rate of occurrences in the population. When is greater than 30, this is a good approximation of results from more sensitive tests. For example, a pain-relief drug is tested on 1500 human subjects, and no adverse event is recorded. From the rule of three, it can be concluded with 95% confidence that fewer than 1 person in 500 (or 3/1500) will experience an adverse event. By symmetry, one could expect for only successes, the 95% confidence interval is . The rule is useful in the interpretation of clinical trials generally, particularly in phase II and phase III where often there are limitations in duration or statistical power. The rule of three applies well beyond medical research, to any trial done times. If 300 parachutes are randomly tested and all open successfully, then it is concluded with 95% confidence that fewer than 1 in 100 parachutes with the same characteristics (3/300) will fail. Derivation A 95% confidence interval is sought for the probability p of an event occurring for any randomly selected single individual in a population, given that it has not been observed to occur in n Bernoulli trials. Denoting the number of events by X, we therefore wish to find the values of the parameter p of a binomial distribution that give Pr(X = 0) ≤ 0.05. The rule can then be derived either from the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution, or from the formula (1−p)n for the probability of zero events in the binomial distribution. In the latter case, the edge of the confidence interval is given by Pr(X = 0) = 0.05 and hence (1−p)n = .05 so n ln(1–p) = ln .05 ≈ −2.996. Rounding the latter to −3 and using the approximation, for p close to 0, that ln(1−p) ≈ −p, we obtain the interval's boundary 3/n. By a similar argument, the numerator values of 3.51, 4.61, and 5.3 may be used for the 97%, 99%, and 99.5% confidence intervals, respectively, and in general the upper end of the confidence interval can be given as , where is the desired confidence level. Extension The Vysochanskij–Petunin inequality shows that the rule of three holds for unimodal distributions with finite variance beyond just the binomial distribution, and gives a way to change the factor 3 if a different confidence is desired. Chebyshev's inequality removes the assumption of unimodality at the price of a higher multiplier (about 4.5 for 95% confidence). Cantelli's inequality is the one-tailed version of Chebyshev's inequality. See also Binomial proportion confidence interval Rule of succession Notes References Ziliak, S. T.; D. N. McCloskey (2008).

Ice Princess

Ice Princess is a 2005 American figure-skating film directed by Tim Fywell, written by Hadley Davis from a story by Meg Cabot and Davis, and starring Michelle Trachtenberg, Joan Cusack, Kim Cattrall and Hayden Panettiere. The film focuses on Casey Carlyle, a normal teenager who gives up a promising future academic life in order to pursue her new-found dream of being a professional figure skater. The film was released on March 18, 2005. Ice Princess had an unsuccessful performance at the box office, grossing $24 million in the United States during its theatrical run against a production budget of $25 million. Plot Casey Carlyle (Michelle Trachtenberg), a very smart and talented science student, plans to pursue a scholarship to Harvard University. For the scholarship, Casey must present a personal summer project about physics. While watching a figure skating competition with her mathematically inclined friend Ann, Casey realizes that her favorite childhood hobby, ice skating, would make a perfect project. She decides to try to improve her own skating by applying physics and what she has discovered from watching other skaters. She becomes proficient and skips two levels to become a junior skater. She helps junior skaters Gennifer "Gen" Harwood (Hayden Panettiere) Tiffany Lai (Jocelyn Lai) and Nikki Fletcher (Kirsten Olson) improve their skating. Torn between her Harvard dream and her growing love of skating, Casey has difficulty juggling schoolwork, skating, and a part-time job. Joan Carlyle (Joan Cusack) Casey's mother, attempts to prevent Casey from skating due to her declining academic performance. Meanwhile, tension arises between Casey's mother and Casey's coach Tina Harwood (Kim Cattrall), a disgraced former skater. Tina, who manages the rink where Casey trains, has Gen on a strict training program. During a competition where both Casey and Gen compete, Tina sees that Casey may outrank Gen, and sabotages Casey's performance by buying her new skates, Casey being unaware of the inadvisability of using skates in competition that have not been broken in. Upset at this, and frustrated by all the restrictions of training, Gen quits. Casey declines the Harvard scholarship competition to devote herself to skating, to her mother's dismay. Casey asks Tina to be her personal coach and help her train for sectionals. Her mother, upset at this change of direction in her life, refuses to watch her skate. At the sectionals, Casey's mind is not fully focused on the competition, and she falls while attempting a triple salchow jump. To her surprise, she discovers that her mother is in the audience. Inspired, Casey gives a highly rated artistic performance. The sectionals ends with Nikki going to the nationals and Casey becoming the runner-up. Gen's brother, Teddy (Trevor Blumas), gives Casey flowers to congratulate her, and they kiss. Later, Joan and Tina bicker about how many college courses Casey should take, Teddy and Casey's budding romance, Casey's sponsors, and Casey's future in figure skating.

1985 Trincomalee massacres

The 1985 Trincomalee massacres refers to a series of mass murder of Tamil civilians allegedly by the Sri Lankan military and Sinhalese home guards in Trincomalee district, Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. The Trincomalee peninsula, which was home to internally displaced civilians, who had earlier been displaced from their homes as a result of the 1983 Anti-Tamil pogrom and the subsequent outbreak of the Civil War two years earlier. In a succession of events that spanned over two months, scores of Tamil civilians were massacred and thousands were driven out by the Sri Lankan military and Sinhalese mobs in order to colonize the area. Background The East and particularly Trincomalee District has been a particular focus of the State in its attempts to suppress Tamil nationalist aspirations by administrative measures backed by brute force. Sinhalisation of Trincomalee was seen as the key to sundering the contiguity of Tamil habitations in the North and East. A measure put into force in April 1984 was to foment clashes between the Tamils and Muslims in the East. In Amparai and Batticaloa District, this was achieved by getting Muslim hoodlums of Minister M.H. Mohamed down from Colombo to attack some Tamil villages adjoining Muslim villages with backing from the newly inducted Special Task Force. In Mutur such attempts were thwarted by the timely action of A.L.A. Majeed MP. List of massacres Following is an incomplete list containing records of only reported and known massacres based on the availability of data. May May 3 On May 3, 50 Tamil people will killed by the Sri Lankan military and Sinhalese mobs in Thehiwaththa and Mahintapuram. Tamil inhabitants of these villages were ethnically cleansed and Sinhalese settlers took their places. May 23 The Army and the newly inducted Sinhalese home guards commenced attacks on outlying Tamil villages in the Trincomalee District, in Nilaveli on 23 May 1985 and in the Allai settlement scheme south of Mutur the next day. Eight civilians were shot dead by the Military in Nilaveli on 23.05.1985. May 24 More than ten people from Anpuvalipuram, who had gone in search of firewood never returned home. Their bulls and carts were found later. And their deaths were attributed to the home guards or the military. May 25 11 civilians are shot dead in Pankulam village, and houses of the residents burnt down. A father and his 12-year-old son who were travelling to visit their family in the nearby village of Kankuveli were hacked to death by the Sinhalese home guards. Their bodies were disposed at the Kankuveli tank. May 26 Over 40 houses and property belonging to Tamils in Echchilampattu were set fire. Two civilians were killed. On the same day, several fishermen from the district were shot dead by the Sri Lankan Navy while they were fishing. Bodies of three fishermen were recovered. May 27 On 27 May 1985, a bus belonging to the State bus service CTB, was stopped at 52nd Milepost in Mahintapura and 6 of its passengers and its driver Pushparaja, all Tamils, were killed in cold blood and their bodies burnt by

Ridgefield Park station

Ridgefield Park station, also known as West Shore Station, was a railroad station in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey at the foot of Mount Vernon Street served by the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad (NYSW) and the West Shore Railroad, a division of New York Central (NYCRR). The New York, Ontario and Western Railway (NYO&W) had running rights along the West Shore and sometimes stopped at Ridgefield Park. First opened in 1872 it was one of three passenger stations in the village, the others being the Little Ferry station to the south and Westview station to the north. (Secondary sources note a later opening date.) Service on the West Shore Railroad began in 1883. The station house, built at a cost $100,000 opened in 1927. Southbound service crossed Overpeck Creek and continued to terminals on the Hudson River waterfront where there was connecting ferry service across the Hudson River to Manhattan. Northbound near Bogota the parallel NYSW and West Shore lines diverge and continue into northern New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York. Passenger service ended in 1966. History In 1866, the Ridgefield Park Railroad (a predecessor to West Shore), was established to create a right of way (ROW) along foot the western slope of the Hudson Palisades parallel to the Hackensack River from Ridgefield Park to Marion Junction, where it could use the Bergen Hill Cut to the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot on the Hudson Waterfront in Jersey City. In 1873 the Jersey City & Albany Railroad (another predecessor to the West Shore) incorporated the original Ridgefield Park Railroad ROW into its projected line. The West Shore instead built the Weehawken Tunnel (at the southern end of what became North Bergen Yard) in conjunction with the opening of Weehawken Terminal. It opened its station in Ridgefield Park in 1883. NYC's service was discontinued in 1959. The New Jersey Midland Railway (a predecessor to the NYSW) built a line through the Ridgefields in 1872. It joined the Erie Railroad Northern Branch at Granton Junction near Babbitt, and reached the community of New Durham. With a similar intention to reach a terminal on the Hudson River, in 1873 it built the Hudson Connecting Railroad which ran south to West End Junction, just north of Marion Junction, with access to Erie's Long Dock Tunnel and Pavonia Terminal. Passenger service on the NYSW made use of the West Shore's Ridgefield Park station to Pavonia Terminal until it was retracted to Susquehanna Transfer (near the point now under New Jersey Route 495) and eventually terminated in 1966. Status CSX Transportation River Line and the NYSW both operate along the freight lines that pass the station. The station house has become a commercial building. NYS&W maintains a small yard in the village. One of the so-called CP5 bridges, the CSX bridge, over Overpeck Creek has been replaced with a two-track swing bridge. As of 2015, the NYS&W bridge was slated for replacement. The bridge collapsed in 2018. Numerous studies to restore passenger service have been conducted, but not materialized. The station has been recommended for historic designation by

Early and personal life Farr was born in San Francisco, the son of Janet E. (née Haskins) and Frederick Sharon "Fred" Farr. One of his maternal great-grandfathers was acting mayor of Los Angeles William Hartshorn Bonsall, and one of his paternal great-great-grandfathers was the brother of Nevada Senator William Sharon. He grew up in Carmel, where he still lives. His father was a California state senator for many years. Farr was educated at Willamette University, Santa Clara University and the Monterey Institute of International Studies. He is married to Shary and has one daughter, Jessica. He is grandfather to two: Ella and Zach. Peace Corps service Farr joined the Peace Corps in 1964 and served for two years as a volunteer in Colombia. He spent his time in a poor barrio near Medellin, teaching community development skills. While he was serving in Colombia, Farr's mother died from cancer. Following her death, his father visited with Farr's sisters. While riding horses, one of his sisters (Nancy), was thrown and hit her head. She died on the operating table in a Colombian hospital. Since his Peace Corps service ended, Farr has visited Colombia several times. He took his wife for their honeymoon and has returned several other times for both personal and official business. During a trip in 2007, Farr spoke in front of the Colombian Congress and was awarded the Orden del Congreso de Colombia. State and local political career Farr's public service career began in the California Assembly, where he worked as a staffer on budget issues for a decade. In 1975, he ran for and won a seat on the Monterey County Board of Supervisors. In 1980 he was elected to the California State Assembly, where he became a champion for the organics industry and wrote one of the country's strictest oil spill liability laws. He served in the Assembly until his election to Congress in 1993. House of Representatives Farr was elected to the House of Representatives in 1993 through a special election when former Congressman Leon Panetta resigned to become President Clinton's budget director. Farr was elected to his first full term in 1994. Legislation Farr introduced the "Oceans Conservation, Education, and National Strategy for the 21st century Act" (H.R. 21) in January 2007. The bill would consolidate national management of oceans, creating a system of regional governance; make the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the chief oceans agency; creates an ocean advisor in the president's Cabinet; creates regional and national ocean advisory committees; and create an Oceans and Great Lakes Conservation Trust Fund. It received a subcommittee markup in April 2008 and passed by

Paul Flamant

Paul Flamant (1892–1940) was a French mathematician, known as the transcriber and editor of Gaston Julia's lectures published in the important monograph Leçons sur les Fonctions Uniformes à Point Singulier Essentiel Isolé (1924). According to Joseph Ritt, "Julia's monograph is probably one of the finest in the Borel collection." Paul Flamant matriculated in 1913 at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) as the highest-rated student, but before graduation went to the front in WW I as a second lieutenant in the French army. He was wounded at Charleroi and taken prisoner. He spent almost four years as a prisoner-of-war, then returned to the ENS and passed his agrégation (and was the highest-rated student for that year of examinations). He received his doctorate from the University of Strasbourg in 1924. He became a mathematics professor at the University of Strasbourg but his health was impaired for the rest of his life. At the beginning of WW II, as a captain in the reserves, he was stationed in the damp, cold bunkers of the Maginot Line. His health deteriorated and he soon died.

Federal Rules of Evidence

First adopted in 1975, the Federal Rules of Evidence codify the evidence law that applies in United States federal courts. In addition, many states in the United States have either adopted the Federal Rules of Evidence, with or without local variations, or have revised their own evidence rules or codes to at least partially follow the federal rules. History The law of evidence governs the proof of facts and the inferences flowing from such facts during the trial of civil and criminal lawsuits. Before the twentieth century, evidence law was largely the product of decisional law. During the twentieth century, projects such as the California Evidence Code and the Uniform Rules of Evidence encouraged the codification of those common law evidence rules. In 1965, Chief Justice Earl Warren appointed an advisory committee of fifteen to draft the new rules. The committee was composed of lawyers and legal scholars from across the country. The Federal Rules of Evidence began as rules proposed pursuant to a statutory grant of authority, the Rules Enabling Act, but were eventually enacted as statutory law. The United States Supreme Court circulated drafts of the FRE in 1969, 1971 and 1972, but Congress then exercised its power under the Rules Enabling Act to suspend implementation of the FRE until it could study them further. After a long delay blamed on the Watergate scandal, the FRE became federal law on January 2, 1975, when President Ford signed An Act to Establish Rules of Evidence for Certain Courts and Proceedings, , . The law was enacted only after Congress made a series of modifications to the proposed rules. Much of the debate on the Rules stemmed from concerns that came to lawmakers' attention due to the Watergate scandal, particularly questions of privilege. Some of the most prominent congressional amendments when Congress adopted the rules included: Prior Inconsistent Statement – Rule 801(d)(1)(A): Congress amended the proposed rule so that the "rule now requires that the prior inconsistent statement be given under oath subject to the penalty of perjury at a trial, hearing, or other proceeding, or in a deposition. The rule as adopted covers statements before a grand jury." Privileges – Rule 501: Although the original proposal included thirteen rules providing for various privileges, Congress struck all of them. To guide privileges in the federal courts, Congress adopted Rule 501. The rule specified that except as otherwise provided by Act of Congress or by other federal rules, privileges in the federal courts would be "governed by the principles of the common law as they may be interpreted by the courts of the United States in the light of reason and experience". Rule 501 meant that the entire purpose of the FRE (to provide clarity and supersede prior case law) was defeated in the specific context of the law of privileges. Thus, to this day, attorneys practicing in U.S. federal courts must carefully research current case law to determine the contours of available privileges in the particular circuit and district in which their case is being heard. In contrast, the California Evidence Code,

Ralph Dorfman

Ralph Isadore Dorfman, (1911 – November 19, 1985) was a Jewish American biochemist. His work on metabolism in pharmacology and the use of steroid hormones contributed to the development of the combined oral contraceptive pill. Dorfman was born in Chicago, Illinois. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois and a doctorate from the University of Chicago. After teaching at several institutions, including Yale University, he became a director at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, which, during his 13-year tenure there, "became an international center for bioassays and the study of the chemistry, biochemistry, and biology of steroid hormones." While working at the Worcester Foundation, Dorfman was a research consultant to the Syntex Corporation, starting in 1950. There he helped to develop the first publicly available birth control pill. In 1964, Dorfman joined Syntex full-time, eventually serving as president of Syntex Research in Palo Alto, California from 1973–1976. Dorfman's research also focused on treatments for cancer and rheumatoid arthritis and originated the reproductive biology concept of anti-estrogens and anti-androgens. Late in his career, Dorfman returned to academia serving as a visiting professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology at Stanford University, 1967–1973, and finally as a consulting professor until his death. In addition to his numerous papers, Dorfman was the author or editor of 14 books and founded the journal Steroids. Dorfman died of complications of Parkinson's disease at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, California, at the age of 74. His brother was Albert Dorfman, and his grandson is Barnaby Dorfman.

Royoporus badius

Royoporus badius or Picipes badius, commonly known as the black-footed polypore or black-leg, is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It causes a white rot of hardwoods and conifers. The species is found in temperate areas of Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. It has a dark brown or reddish-brown cap that reaches a diameter of , and a stipe that is often completely black or brown at the top and black at the base. Taxonomy The species was first described in the scientific literature in 1801 by Christian Hendrik Persoon, who named it Boletus badius. American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz transferred the species to Polyporus in 1832, and it was known by this name until 1997, when De transferred the species into the genus Royoporus, which he had described the year before. Polyporaceae species that are closely phylogenetically related to R. badius include P. dictyopus, P. melanopus, and P. tubaeformis, which have clamp connections on generative hyphae and a similar ecology. Zmitrovich & Kovalenko proposed the new genus Picipes for this fungus together with P. melanopus and P. tubaeformis and according to Species Fungorum Picipes badius is now the correct current name. The specific epithet badius derives from the Latin root badi-, meaning "reddish brown". The common names "black-footed polypore" and "black-leg" refer to its characteristic dark-colored stipe. Description The fruit bodies of Royoporus badius tend to be upright, growing solitary or in groups, sometimes with two or more fruit bodies arising from a common stipe. The cap is circular or kidney-shaped, and often lobed or with a wavy edge. When young, the fruit bodies are convex, then become flat or funnel-shaped in maturity, reaching dimensions of across by thick. The upper cap surface is smooth and glossy, but develops radial wrinkles as it ages. The color of the cap is brown, often darker in the center and lighter-colored at the margins. The under-surface is white or cream-colored, yellowing when old. Pores are round and number 6–8 per mm, with decurrent tubes (running down the length of the stipe). The stipe, attached to the cap either centrally or laterally, is long by thick, velvety and dark brown to blackish-brown, black and longitudinally wrinkled when old. Fruit bodies are inedible because of their tough texture. The spores are ellipsoid or cylindrical, hyaline (translucent), smooth, and 7.5–9 by 3–5 µm. The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are club-shaped with a narrow base, and have dimensions of 20–30 by 7–9 µm. Like other members of the genus Polyporus, this species has a dimitic hyphal construction, meaning that the hyphae are made of both generative hyphae and skeleto-ligative hyphae, a feature which tends to make the mushroom tissue hard and woody. There are no cystidia in the hymenium. The fungus has been shown to produce asexual spores when grown in pure culture conditions. Habitat and distribution Royoporus badius is a saprobic species, and causes white rot. It grows on the standing or fallen trunks and branches of various hardwood genera, including Acer, Aesculus, Alnus, Betula, Castanea, Fagus, Fraxinus, Populus, Prunus, Robinia, Quercus, Salix, Tilia

Lagunitas-Forest Knolls, California

Lagunitas-Forest Knolls is a census-designated place, composed of two unincorporated areas in the western half of the San Geronimo Valley in Marin County, California, United States. The population was 1,819 at the 2010 census. The two towns are locally seen as separate. Geographically divided by narrow points in the San Geronimo Valley, each has its own small commercial center. Both towns are primarily residential. Lagunitas' ZIP code is 94938, while the ZIP code of Forest Knolls is 94933. Geography Lagunitas-Forest Knolls is located at (38.015064, -122.693874). According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of , all of it land. San Geronimo Creek (a.k.a. Paper Mill Creek), which is one of few remaining spawning grounds for Coho Salmon, runs through both towns. The Lagunitas Creek Watershed is home to the largest remaining wild run of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in Central California. These coho are part of the "Central California Coast Evolutionarily Significant Unit," or CCC ESU, and are listed as "endangered" at both the state and federal level. The towns line the western end of the San Geronimo Valley, extending into the forested south ridges and slightly into the grassier northern ones. Lagunitas is on the eastern border of Samuel P. Taylor State Park. Like the park, Lagunitas-Forest Knolls and the surrounding environs are lushly vegetated with large areas of coniferous forests. Hiking and horseback riding are popular in the hills above the towns. Demographics 2010 The 2010 United States Census reported that Lagunitas-Forest Knolls had a population of 1,819.

Corymbia latifolia

Corymbia latifolia, commonly known as the round-leaved bloodwood, round leaf bloodwood, wubam and other names in indigenous languages, is a species of tree that is endemic to northern Australia. It has thin, rough bark over part or all of the trunk, smooth bark above, triangular or broadly egg-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and urn-shaped fruit. Description Corymbia latifolia typically grows to a height of with thin, rough, scaly or flaky to tessellated bark on part or all of the trunk, smooth white to cream-coloured bark above. Yount plants and coppice regrowth have dull green, broadly egg-shaped to round leaves that are long, wide and petiolate. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, dull green, triangular to broadly egg-shaped or elliptical, long and wide on a petiole long. The flowers buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets on a thin, branched peduncle long, each branch of the peduncle with seven buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are smooth and glossy, oval, pear-shaped or more or less spherical, long and wide with a rounded operculum. Flowering occurs between November and March and the flowers are creamy white. Taxonomy and naming Round-leaved bloodwood was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Botany and was given the name Eucalyptus latifolia. In 1995, Ken Hill and Lawrie Johnson changed the name to Corymbia latifolia. Indigenous Australians of the Yangman peoples know the plant as wubam or dolyan, the Ngarinyman know it as jadburru, the Warray as warrajan and the Wagiman as jimarnin. Distribution and habitat Corymbia latifolia is found on rocky slopes, plateaus and hills growing in sandy soils and has a range across the north of Australia extending from the tip of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland through the Top End and off-shore islands of the Northern Territory to the Kimberley region of Western Australia. There are also scattered populations in Papua New Guinea and on some Torres Strait Islands. It is sometimes the dominant species in low-lying areas in wetter part of the Northern Territory and the Kimberley.

Shadowsocks

Shadowsocks is a free and open-source encryption protocol project, widely used in mainland China to circumvent Internet censorship. It was created in 2012 by a Chinese programmer named "clowwindy", and multiple implementations of the protocol have been made available since. Shadowsocks is not a proxy on its own, but typically, the client software will connect to a third party socks5 proxy, speaking the shadowsocks language on the machine it is running on, which internet traffic can then be directed towards, similarly to an SSH tunnel. Unlike an SSH tunnel, shadowsocks can also proxy UDP traffic. Takedown On 22 August 2015, "clowwindy" announced in a GitHub thread that they had been contacted by the police and could no longer maintain the project. The code of the project was subsequently branched with a removal notice. Three days later on 25 August, another proxy application, GoAgent, also had its GitHub repository removed. The removal of the projects was met with media attention, with news outlets speculating about the possible connection between the takedowns and a DDoS targeting GitHub which happened several days later. Danny O'Brien, from Electronic Frontier Foundation, published a statement on the matter. Despite the takedown, collaborators of the project have continued with the development of the project. Server implementations The original Python implementation can still be installed with Pip (package manager), but the contents of its GitHub repository have been removed. Other server implementations include one in Go, Rust, C using the event loop library, C++ with a Qt GUI, and Perl. The Go and Perl implementations are not updated regularly and may be abandoned. Client implementations All of the server implementations listed above also support operating in client mode. There are also client-only implementations available for Windows (shadowsocks-win), macOS (ShadowsocksX-NG), Android (shadowsocks-android), and iOS (Wingy). Many clients, including shadowsocks-win and shadowsocks-android, support redirecting all system traffic over Shadowsocks, not just applications that have been explicitly configured to do so, allowing Shadowsocks to be used similarly to a VPN. If an application doesn't support proxy servers, a proxifier can be used to redirect the application to the Shadowsocks client. Some proxifiers, such as Proxycap, support Shadowsocks directly, thus avoiding the need for a Shadowsocks client. Net::Shadowsocks Net::Shadowsocks is name of the Perl implementation of Shadowsocks protocol client and server available on CPAN. ShadowsocksR ShadowsocksR is a fork of the original project, claimed to be superior in terms of security and stability. Upon release, it was found to violate the General Public License by not having the source code of the C# client available. It was also criticized for its solution to the alleged security issues in the source project. Shadowsocks is currently under development, while ShadowsocksR stopped . Similar projects Shadowsocks is similar to The Tor Project's Pluggable Transport idea. They also both use a socks proxy interface. Whereas Shadowsocks is simpler, Obfs4 is more obfuscated.

Mirai no Museum

"Mirai no Museum" (Translation: "Future Museum") is a song by Japanese girl group Perfume from their fourth studio album Level 3 (2013). The song was released as the album's third single on 27 February 2013. It was written, composed and produced by Yasutaka Nakata. The song is a dance pop track, which features instrumentation from synthesizers and keyboards. The track is translated to "Future Museum" and was used as the theme song for the Doraemon film, Nobita no Himitsu Dougu Museum. "Mirai no Museum" received negative reviews from music critics, who felt it was childish and interrupted the composition sequence of the album. The song became their eighth consecutive single to stall at number two in Japan. The track became their first charting single in Korea since their 2011 single "Laser Beam/Kasuka na Kaori". Yusuke Tanaka commissioned the accompanying music video for the single, which shows Perfume inside a comic book–style world. Perfume have performed the song in a number of live performances throughout Japan. Background and composition Japanese producer and Capsule musician Yasutaka Nakata wrote, arranged, and composed "Mirai no Museum". Nakata has collaborated with all of Perfume's records and songs from 2003 onwards. It was recorded in Tokyo, Japan and was mixed and mastered by Nakata. It is a dance and electropop song, and incorporates instrumentation of a drum machine, synthesizer and keyboards. Reception "Mirai no Museum" received mostly negative reviews from music critics. Writing for Land of Rising, Alex Shenmue said the song was one to skip. He felt that while the song was sung and produced well and catchy, “it doesn't fit the role of middle-section track in this album,” and “breaks the musical delivery.” He labelled it the “one true issue on the album.” Patrick St. Michael, writing for The Japan Times, said it was his least favorite single from the album and felt it was “painfully out of place.” Selective Hearings writer Nia labelled it a “dud” and “childish.” She said the song was the weakest and preferred their track "Hurly Burly" to replace the song, which was not featured on the album. A writer from CDJournal praised the “dreamy” and catchy production, but criticized the composition. Ian Martin, who had written their extended biography at Allmusic, had highlighted the song as an album and career standout. The song charted in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Reaching number two on the Oricon Singles Chart, it became the group's eighth consecutive single to stall at number two. It was the group's last single to reach number two until their 2014 single "Cling Cling" reached the position and is their eleventh best-selling single there. The track also peaked at two on Japan Hot 100 chart. The song reached number twenty-three and thirteen in South Korea. The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipments of 100,000 units. Release and promotion Selected as the third single of Level 3, the song was released as an extended play digital download on 27 February 2013. Universal Music then released the single in the United Kingdom,

Pavement radio

Pavement radio, an expression first popularised by historian Stephen Ellis in referring to the grassroots, informal communication networks that relay information, primarily in urban African settings. Etymology Pavement radio is the literal English translation of the French phrase radio trottoir which in US English would usually be rendered sidewalk radio. Significance Particularly interesting to Ellis is the blurred distinction between broadcaster and listener, and the essentially democratic nature of the system (in that a how long-lasting a story is, and how widespread it becomes, and the form it eventually takes, are down to the predominant preferences of the recounters of the story). Pavement radio is mistrusted by a number of academics, journalists and politicians, citing its anonymous nature, and the propensity of the genre to include tales of witchcraft and other ludicrous notions. Ellis, however, argues that pavement radio is a modern continuation of the African oral tradition, and that such ostensibly inconceivable stories are metaphors or are indicative of historic or cultural beliefs, and as such not to be confused with factual news. Why it might in this way be regarded as distinct from say, Western cultural beliefs, urban legend, rumours and metaphors such as propagated by gossip, Internet social networking services or informal actuality media, Ellis omitted to express definitively, either in the 1995 book or in later works.

Cornelius Scipio Salvito

Cornelius Scipio ‘Salvito’ (the agnomen Salvito was conferred on him due to his resemblance to a mime artist of the same name) was a minor member of the gens Cornelia who lived in the late Roman Republic. He was perhaps a descendant of Scipio Africanus, the Roman general who defeated Hannibal, through his second son Lucius Cornelius Scipio. Salvito was, according to Plutarch and Suetonius, "a contemptible nobody", who was taken by Julius Caesar in 46 BC on his North African campaign against the remnants of Pompey's forces, led by Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Scipio Nasica. Because of a long-standing belief that only a Scipio could be victorious in Africa, and because he was facing a Scipio, Caesar placed Salvito at the front of his army, either as a good luck charm to calm his nervous troops, or to demonstrate his contempt to Scipio Nasica. Caesar forced him to attack the enemy frequently and to bring on the battle.

Battle of Ambarawa

The Battle of Ambarawa, known locally as the Palagan of Ambarawa () was a battle between the recently created Indonesian Army and the British Army that occurred between 20 November and 15 December 1945 in Ambarawa, Indonesia. Prelude On 20 November 1945, Allied troops under the command of Brigadier Bethell landed in Semarang to disarm Japanese troops and liberate POWs still detained in concentration camps in Central Java. Initially, the troops were welcomed in the area, with Central Java's governor Wongsonegoro agreeing to provide them with food and other necessities in return for the Allies' promise to respect Indonesia's sovereignty and independence. The Netherlands Indies Civil Administration (NICA) were also in Semarang, and welcomed the British presence. However, when Allied and NICA troops began freeing and arming Dutch POWs in Ambarawa and Magelang, many locals were angered. Relations were further ruined when the Allies began disarming members of the Indonesian Army. Indonesian troops under the command of Lieutenant Colonel M. Sarbini began besieging Allied troops stationed in Magelang in reprisal for their attempted disarmament. Indonesian president Sukarno intervened in the situation to calm tensions, and the Allies secretly left Magelang to their stronghold in Ambarawa. Sarbini's regiment followed the Allies in pursuit, and was later joined by other Indonesian troops from Ambarawa, Suruh, and Surakarta. Allied troops were later driven out of the nearby village of Jambu by the combined force of the Indonesian Army. At the village of Ngipik, Allied troops were once again forced to retreat by the Indonesian Army, after attempting to establish control over two villages around Ambarawa. Indonesian troops under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Isdiman tried to free the two villages, but Isdiman was killed in action before reinforcements arrived. Commander of Division V Banyumas, Colonel Soedirman, vowed to avenge Isdiman's death and called in reinforcements to besiege Allied positions in Central Java. On the morning of 23 November 1945, Indonesian troops began firing on Allied troops stationed in Ambarawa. A counterattack by the Allies forced the Indonesian Army to retreat to the village of Bedono. Battle On 11 December 1945, Soedirman held a meeting with various commanders of the Indonesian Army. The next day at 4:30 AM, the Indonesian Army launched an assault on the Allies in Ambarawa. Indonesian artillery pounded Allied positions, which were later overrun by infantry. When the Semarang-Ambarawa highway was captured by Indonesian troops, Soedirman immediately ordered his forces to cut off the supply routes of the remaining Allied troops by using a pincer maneuver. The battle ended four days later on 15 December 1945, when Indonesia succeeded in regaining control over Ambarawa and the Allies retreated to Semarang. Aftermath The Palagan Ambarawa Monument in Ambarawa was erected in memory of the battle. The battle's anniversary is also celebrated as Indonesian Army Day (Hari Juang Kartika) by the personnel and veterans of the Indonesian Army.

Angolan Basketball Federation

The Angolan Basketball Federation (Federação Angolana de Basquetebol or simply FAB) is the governing body of official basketball competitions in Angola. FAB was founded in 1976, with Mr. José Jaime de Castro Guimarães serving as chairman. The federation was first housed at Rua Rainha Ginga and later moved to the current address on the ground floor of an apartment building located in the Cidadela Sports Compound. FAB oversees the activities of the 18 provincial basketball associations in the country. Typically the federation has a 42-member staff, including 3 members of the general assembly, 3 from the audit committee, 5 from the legal board, 5 from the disciplinary board and 16 collaborators while the management is made up of 10 members. On an annual basis, the federation organizes the men's national championship aka BAI Basket, the women's championship as well as the Angolan Cup and Super Cup, including in the under-age categories. It also oversees the provincial championships organized by the related basketball associations and the participation of national squads in African and worldwide events. History As the most successful sports in Angola, together with handball, basketball in Angola celebrated on May 18, 2011, its diamond jubilee as it was on May 1930 that a basketball match was first played in the country. Since then, it's been 75 years of a successful journey. Mr. Pina Cabral, a Portuguese army officer and physical education teacher, organized on May 1930, the first exhibition game between Sporting Clube de Luanda and Associação Académica with an 8-5 final score for the former. Angola played for the very first time internationally in a friendly against Nigeria in 1976 (lost 62-71), made its debut in the African arena in 1980 (7th place) and in the world arena at the 1986 FIBA World Championship in Madrid (20th place). At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the Angolan players must have lived a dream by sharing the court with the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, among others.

George Bass (optician)

George Bass was an optician known to have made an achromatic doublet around 1733. The specifications for the lens elements were given by Chester Moore Hall. According to Hoyle, Hall wished to keep his work on the achromatic lenses a secret and contracted the manufacture of the crown and flint lenses to two different opticians, Edward Scarlett and James Mann. They in turn sub-contracted the work to the same person, George Bass. He realized the two components were for the same client and, after fitting the two parts together, noted the achromatic properties. Not being as reticent as Hall, Bass let others know of the lens's properties and the method of making an achromatic doublet spread.

A Disaffection

A Disaffection is a novel written by Scottish writer James Kelman, first published in 1989 by Secker and Warburg. Set in Glasgow, it is written in the Scottish dialect in a stream of consciousness style, centering on a 29-year-old schoolteacher named Patrick Doyle. The novel won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1989, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2012, it was shortlisted for the Best of the James Tait Black. Plot synopsis The novel, written in a stream of consciousness style using the Glasgow dialect, concerns one week in the life of 29-year-old schoolteacher Patrick Doyle. Patrick is increasingly bitter about his entire life, despite feeling quite all right with the children he is coaching. He is in love with fellow schoolteacher Alison Houston, who is already married (without kids), and who rejects his advances. Midway in the novel, Patrick discovers he is to be transferred out of his present school which (his headmaster assures him) is the result of Patrick asking for a transfer, although Patrick has no recollection of such an act. The rest of the novel concerns Patrick's visit to his parents one weekend and, on a separate day, to his married elder brother Gavin's home.

Özsoy

Özsoy (or Fereydun) is an opera composed by Ahmet Adnan Saygun from a libretto by Münir Hayri Egeli. It was the first Turkish opera composed during the country's Republican period under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and it was given its premiere performance in the Halk Evi Theatre in Ankara on 19 June 1934. The opera tells the story of twin brothers Tur and Īraj in three parts. Its theme, proposed by Atatürk, draws from the famous poetic opus, Shahnameh, which was written by the Persian poet Ferdowsi around 1000 AD. Tur symbolizes the Turkish people, living in "Tūrān", all the lands north and east of the Oxus, while Iraj symbolizes the Iranian people, living in Iran. The premiere was attended by Mustafa Kemal and his official guest, the Shah of Iran, Shah Reza Pahlavi, since a major theme of the opera was the long-standing friendship between the Turkish and Persian peoples. Following that performance, the two leaders met at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to establish the basis of friendship and cooperation for the two new nations, the Republic of Turkey and the Imperial State of Iran (Pahlavi Dynasty). Synopsis Time: Place: Hakan Feridun (Fereydun Khan) has twin sons; Tur (Wolf) and Īraj (Lion). Right after their birth, the two brothers fall victim to the Devil's wrath, and they become separated, each living in a different land. Many years later, they find each other and discover that they are twin brothers. Notes References Radikal.com - Iran dost mu?

Bing Crosby

Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr. (; May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977) was an American singer, comedian and actor. The first multimedia star, Crosby was a leader in record sales, radio ratings, and motion picture grosses from 1931 to 1954. His early career coincided with recording innovations that allowed him to develop an intimate singing style that influenced many male singers who followed him, including Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, and Dean Martin. Yank magazine said that he was "the person who had done the most for the morale of overseas servicemen" during World War II. In 1948, American polls declared him the "most admired man alive", ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII. Also in 1948, Music Digest estimated that his recordings filled more than half of the 80,000 weekly hours allocated to recorded radio music. Crosby won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Father Chuck O'Malley in the 1944 motion picture Going My Way and was nominated for his reprise of the role in The Bells of St. Mary's opposite Ingrid Bergman the next year, becoming the first of six actors to be nominated twice for playing the same character. In 1963, Crosby received the first Grammy Global Achievement Award. He is one of 33 people to have three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the categories of motion pictures, radio, and audio recording. He was also known for his collaborations with longtime friend Bob Hope, starring in the Road to... films from 1940 to 1962. Crosby influenced the development of the postwar recording industry. After seeing a demonstration of a German broadcast quality reel-to-reel tape recorder brought to America by John T. Mullin, he invested $50,000 in a California electronics company called Ampex to build copies. He then convinced ABC to allow him to tape his shows. He became the first performer to pre-record his radio shows and master his commercial recordings onto magnetic tape. Through the medium of recording, he constructed his radio programs with the same directorial tools and craftsmanship (editing, retaking, rehearsal, time shifting) used in motion picture production, a practice that became an industry standard. In addition to his work with early audio tape recording, he helped to finance the development of videotape, bought television stations, bred racehorses, and co-owned the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. Early life Crosby was born on May 3, 1903 in Tacoma, Washington, in a house his father built at 1112 North J Street. In 1906, his family moved to Spokane in eastern Washington state, where he was raised. In 1913, his father built a house at 508 E. Sharp Avenue. The house sits on the campus of his alma mater, Gonzaga University. It functions today as a museum housing over 200 artifacts from his life and career, including his Oscar. He was the fourth of seven children: brothers Laurence Earl (Larry) (1895–1975), Everett Nathaniel (1896–1966), Edward John (Ted) (1900–1973), and George Robert (Bob) (1913–1993); and two sisters, Catherine Cordelia (1904–1974) and Mary Rose (1906–1990). His parents were Harry Lowe Crosby (1870–1950), a

1988 Chicago Bears season

The 1988 Chicago Bears season was their 69th regular season and 19th postseason completed in the National Football League. The Bears looked to improve on an 11–4 finish that won them the NFC Central Division but where they were eliminated for the second consecutive year by the Washington Redskins. The Bears won 12 games and lost 4, tying for the best record in the league with the Buffalo Bills and the AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals, and earned home field advantage in the NFC. However, the Bears failed to advance to the Super Bowl as one of the top two seeds for a third straight season, falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field. This was the second time that the 49ers and Bears had met for a trip to the Super Bowl during the decade, with the 49ers defeating the Bears on their way to Super Bowl XIX. Coach Mike Ditka suffered a heart attack during the season, but was back on the sidelines 11 days later. Ditka was named coach of the year for the second time in his career. This was Jim McMahon's last season as starter for the Bears as he was traded during the following offseason to the San Diego Chargers. 1988 Chicago Bears draft choices Roster 1988 Team Starters Offense 9 Jim McMahon QB 35 Neal Anderson RB 26 Matt Suhey FB 85 Dennis McKinnon WR/PR 29 Dennis Gentry WR/KR 80 James Thornton TE 73 John Wojciechowski LT 62 Mark Bortz LG 63 Jay Hilgenberg C 57 Tom Thayer RG 78 Keith Van Horne RT Defense 90 Al Harris LDE 76 Steve McMichael LDT 99 Dan Hampton RDT 95 Richard Dent RDE 59 Ron Rivera LB 50 Mike Singletary LB 51 Jim Morrissey LB 27 Mike Richardson LCB 24 Vestee Jackson RCB 22 Dave Duerson SS 37 Maurice Douglass FS 6 Kevin Butler K 15 Bryan Wagner P Final roster Regular season Schedule Game summaries Week 1 Week 4 Week 13 Standings Playoffs In the divisional playoffs, the Bears defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Fog Bowl, earning their first postseason victory since Super Bowl XX.

1999 Detroit Lions season

The 1999 Detroit Lions season was their 70th in the league. The team improved upon their previous season's output of 5–11 and qualified for the playoffs, with a .500 record at 8–8. It would be their sixth playoff appearance of the decade, capping one of the most successful 10-year stretches in franchise history. In 2004, Football Outsiders’ Mike Tanier named the 1999 Lions as one of the “worst playoff teams ever”: The Lions had just lost Barry Sanders to an abrupt retirement and started the season with second-year pro Charlie Batch at quarterback before he was lost to an injury and replaced by Gus Frerotte. The team got out to a 6–2 start, including a win over the eventual Super Bowl Champion St. Louis Rams, that made the Lions a surprise contender at the midway point in the season. After topping out at 8–4, however, the Lions collapsed and lost their final four games. Offseason NFL Draft Personnel Staff Roster Regular season The season had an inauspicious beginning as future Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders suddenly retired on the eve of training camp. Undaunted, coach Bobby Ross led the Lions to a fast start, highlighted by a Week 9 win over the then 6–1 St. Louis Rams. The following week, Ross made a questionable decision to go for a failed two-point conversion after a touchdown against Arizona. The game ended with Detroit trailing by four points in the red zone trying to score a game-winning touchdown. The Lions would lose at Green Bay the following week, but defeat Chicago at home to get back on track. The following week, the Lions picked up the franchise's first win vs. Washington since 1965, putting the team at an 8–4 and in sole possession of the second seed in the NFC. However, the Lions collapsed down the stretch and lost their last four regular season games to finish 8–8. Two other NFC teams—the Packers and Carolina Panthers—finished 8–8, but the Lions beat the Panthers 24–9 in Week 7 and they held the conference record tiebreaker over the Packers, thus allowing Detroit to make the playoffs as the sixth seed despite losing their final four games. This would be the Lions' last playoff appearance until the 2011 season.
