You & I is the third studio album by English singer Rita Ora. It was released on 14 July 2023 through BMG. The album is her first solo studio release since Phoenix (2018). You & I was preceded by three singles, "You Only Love Me", "Praising You" (featuring Fatboy Slim) and "Don't Think Twice".
Background and release
After the publication of her second studio album Phoenix in 2018, Ora took a recording break, embarking on several television and film projects. In February 2022, Ora signed a record deal with Berlin-based BMG, a deal which gave her ownership of master recordings for her next projects. In April 2023, she announced the release of her third studio album, titled You & I.
Singles
"You Only Love Me" was released on 27 January 2023, as the lead single from this album. The song was announced on January 11, 2023.
"Praising You" was released on 19 April 2023, as the second single from the album. The song is a re-worked version of Slim's 1998 song "Praise You", and Fatboy Slim is also credited as featured artist on this track.
"Don't Think Twice" was released as the album's third track on 30 June 2023.
Critical reception
You & I received a score of 68 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on five critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. Emma Harrison of Clash wrote that the album is Ora's "most exploratory and undoubtedly her finest work so far" with "the trademark sass and joie de vivre throughout, but this feels like a more mature and evolved body of work". Harrison also pointed out that "Rita uses You & I to undertake some serious self-reflection with each track focusing on various aspects" and that it allows her to "shed her skin to show [more] vulnerability and creativity than before".
Hannah Mylrea of Rolling Stone UK wrote that You & I "play[s] it safe" compared to Ora's previous albums, because "too often [...] the tracks wash over you as shiny pop songs that fail to draw intrigue". Helen Brown from The Independent was less impressed by the album, remarking that it is "strong enough to sell well" and although "sweet and ought to let us into the specifics of her world [...] still it feels generic". David Smyth of the Evening Standard wrote that the project "lacks personal touch".

The New South Wales Department of Prisons, later the Department of Corrective Services (DCS), was a State government agency in New South Wales, Australia, that managed prisons, parole and community service. Established in 1874 as the Department of Prisons, DCS was absorbed into the State Department of Justice and Attorney General in 2009.
History
Before 1874
Great Britain started the European settlement of the Colony of New South Wales in 1788, establishing a penal colony at what is now Sydney. The incentive to establishment the colony came from the conclusion (1783) of the American War of Independence, which forced Britain to find ways of dealing with criminals other than transporting them to North America. The initial settlement at Sydney Cove in Port Jackson involved housing convicts in tents, guarded by marines. Further convict shipments followed, and a surge of convicts arrived in Sydney after the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815. Convicts worked for pay and, where good behaviour was demonstrated, could be assigned to masters. Chain gangs operated from 1826 up until transportation ended in 1840.
In the colony's early years, prisons and executions were managed first by the provost marshal, a military officer, and then, from 1824, by the sheriff.
Department of Prisons
The colony established its first Department of Prisons in 1874, with Sheriff Harold Maclean appointed as the first Comptroller-General.
Department of Corrective Services
The department changed its name to 'Corrective Services' in 1970, and McGeechan's title changed to Commissioner. Eight years later, the Wran Government accepted the Royal Commission's recommendation that the post of commissioner be abolished in favour of a three-person Corrective Services Commission.
The Government appointed academic Tony Vinson as the chairman of the new Corrective Services Commission. Vinson implemented many of the Royal Commission recommendations, but by 1981 found himself in conflict with the officers' union, the Public Service Association. The Government backed the union in the dispute, and Vinson retired to academia. The tenure of his replacement, Vern Dalton, was memorable for a corruption scandal that saw the Minister for Corrections, Rex Jackson, sentenced to 10 years' gaol for corruption.
Labor, tarnished by this and other scandals, was swept from office in 1988: the Liberal–Nationals coalition that replaced them campaigned on a 'tough on crime' platform. Dalton was moved to a different department and the Corrective Services Commission was abolished in favour of a single director-general on 9 August 1988. The first director-general was former police officer Angus Graham.
In October 1991 the department was restructured, with its juvenile justice responsibilities being transferred to a separate agency and Graham's title changed to Commissioner.
As part of a broader consolidation of government departments in 2009, the Department of Corrective Services was merged with the departments of the Attorney-General and Juvenile Justice in 2009. Corrective Services New South Wales became a division of what is now known as the Department of Justice, with Woodham retaining his role as Commissioner.

The Flume was a Log Flume at Alton Towers in Staffordshire. It opened in 1981 and was rethemed in 2004 coinciding with its sponsorship by Imperial Leather. The ride was a bath time themed log flume with three drops. It was the longest log flume attraction in the world at the time of opening. The attraction closed in 2015 and was replaced by the Wicker Man rollercoaster.
Ride experience
The ride was approximately six minutes long and began with the loading of passengers into the boats, which had a maximum capacity of five. The boarding took place in a moving, circular station. Once the boat dispatched from the station, it took several turns through woodland and then travelled up to the first lift hill. The boat was then dropped down a small drop to gain some height, turning around the woodland until it came to the second lift hill, which was enclosed in a darkened hut, followed by a 'blind' drop. Following the Imperial Leather sponsorship, a shower sprinkler and riders were met with a giant rubber duck statue. The ride then traveled through more woodland before embarking up a 86ft lift hill, then swiftly dropping riders 85ft where riders were usually soaked with water. The boats then travelled through two shower sprinklers before returning to the station.
History
In 1980, Alton Towers opened the ride Corkscrew along with a few other amusement attractions. Alton Towers gained popularity so for the 1981 season they decided to open a log flume. Construction started in late 1980 to open the ride for the 1981 season. the park's first major scale engineering project including purpose built reservoir sunk into a former field. The 5.5-acre site was bordered on two sides by the Park Railway. initially access to the new ride was via a railway bridge over the tracks, by 1982 the Railway had been shortened to allow easier access for the popular new ride.
In 1981, the 'White Water Flume' opened to the public as the world's longest log flume with its waterway themed around the Canadian Falls; by 1983 the ride had acquired its traditional and more popular name of 'The Log Flume' and for the next 23 years operated as such. Between 1984 and 1995 it also featured props from 'Dinosaur Land' which had been closed the previous season to make way for The Black Hole, including a prehistoric family inside the tunnel section of the flume.
In 2003, Alton Towers approached WGH Transportation Ltd to supply new boats for the new 2004 season, and the ride was going to the rethemed and renamed to 'The Flume' with a bath theme, as sponsored by the soap manufacturer, Imperial Leather. Stuart:Pease of Rotherham was the contractor used to produce 35 new 'bath' boats replacing the logs for a cost of £282,580.A new lining, maintenance, a refurbished station, a yellow duck, shower and other bath-time theming was introduced for the new theming. In 2008, the area in which the ride operated was re-themed to Mutiny Bay, however the ride retained its bath time theme.
Weeks before the beginning of the 2016 season, Alton Towers announced that the ride was to be closed permanently. On 16 March 2016, the park posted a photo through their Towers Loving Care Twitter page of a sign on the perimeter of the former area of the attraction that reads "SW8. Ground breaking new ride development", marking the construction site for the resort's next large investment SW8.
After the ride's closure and during the construction of Wicker Man, the resort held charity auctions with lots containing a variety of items from The Flume. This included various queue line and warning signage, as well as the ride boats.

Gósol is a village and municipality located in the northwest of the comarca of Berguedà in Catalonia, Spain. It is within the confines of Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park in the Pyrenees, to the west of Pedraforca.
Gósol is the only municipality in Berguedà which is in the province of Lleida rather than that of Barcelona. It is also a party to the Judicial district of La Seu d'Urgell.
Geography
The present town is centered in the eponymous valley of Gósol, which is enclosed by the Serra del Cadí and Pedraforca, in the Pyrenees. The ruins of the former town and castle, dating from the 11th century, overlook the Gósol from an adjacent hill.
Villages within Gósol
The municipal limits of Gósol includes, most notably, the village of Sorribes. Other settlements include Bonner, la Collada, Molí d'en Güell, Moripol, Castell de Termes, Font Terrers, and Torrent Senta.
Climate
Gósol has a cool subalpine climate. Compared to less mountainous areas of Catalonia it is rather wet. It receives over 900 mm (35.43 in.) of precipitation each year, concentrated in the spring months.
Culture
Gosol's emblematic cultural institution is the Picasso Museum, which owes its existence to the visit of Pablo Picasso to the village from the spring of 1906 to mid-August of that same year. The artist installed himself at the only inn then in existence, Cal Tampanada. While in Gósol, Picasso underwent a transformation of palette, sketching style, and rhythm of composition. Picasso found his subjects in local livestock and people of Gósol, as well as Fernande Olivier, his partner.
Notable dates
The town's festa major, or town festival, takes place on August 15 each year. It is most notable for its unique folk dance, the "Ball de les cosses."
On New Year's Eve (Saint Sylvester), legend says that witches hold gatherings on Pedraforca mountain.

Ronald Grant Browne ("The Voice") (20 August 1937 in Edinburgh, Lothian, Scotland) is a Scottish folk musician and songwriter, who is a founding member of The Corries.
Biography
Browne was born in Edinburgh to John Albert 'Bertie' Browne, a truck driver, and Anne 'Nancy' Browne. He was raised in Scotland. Aside from singing, Browne's other abilities are painting, sketching and rugby, having once played as a winger for his secondary school Boroughmuir. He met Roy Williamson on the rugby field, as Williamson had played as a winger also for Boroughmuir's rivals Edinburgh Wanderers.
This led to meeting multi-instrumentalist Bill Smith at Edinburgh College of Art in 1955 and the formation of the Corrie Folk Trio in 1962. The group was expanded the following year with the addition of female singer Paddie Bell. Shortly after releasing three albums in 1965, Bell left to begin a solo career. With the departure of Smith, the following year, Browne and Williamson continued to perform as a duo now known as The Corries.
In 1970, Williamson conceived and built the band's signature instrument: the combolins, a pair of instruments that were rarely played separately. Williamson's instrument featured a basic guitar fingerboard with a bandurria attached and sympathetic resonating strings. Browne's model was a basic guitar with a mandolin attached and four bass strings.
Browne and Williamson were regular performers on Scottish television shows and movies and in 1983 received an International Film and Television Festival gold award for their Scottish Television series, "The Corries & Other Folk". The 1996 film The Bruce features Browne's rendition of the Williamson-penned Flower of Scotland at the end. Browne appeared in the film playing the role of Maxwell The Minstrel.
Since Williamson's death in 1990, Browne continued to perform and record in the spirit of the Corries. He regularly led the singing of Flower of Scotland, de facto national anthem of Scotland, for the Scotland national rugby and football teams. During his performances, he was known to yell "COME ON!" to the audience during the opening line of the song he was singing and this has often been parodied by the BBC Hogmanay sketch show Only an Excuse?. As of 27 April 2015, Browne announced that due to emotional breakdowns during performances, he has put an end to singing in public.
Browne is now an accomplished portrait artist.
Personal life
Browne met and fell in love with Patricia Elliott during secondary school, and the two married on 30 June 1959. Together they had three children.
Gavin Browne is the eldest, and has run The Corries Official Website since 1997.
Ronnie and Pat were married for 53 years until Pat died due to cancer in 2012.

The Sonnenstein Castle is a castle in Pirna, near Dresden, Germany. It housed a mental hospital, which operated from 1811 to the end of World War II in 1945. During the War, it functioned as an extermination centre for the Nazi Aktion T4 program. It was shut down following the war, and reopened in 1970.
History
Sonnenstein castle, located at Pirna near Dresden, above the river Elbe, was built after on the site of a former medieval castle. Sonnenstein castle was used as a mental home since 1811. Among other patients, Sonnenstein was the asylum in which Daniel Paul Schreber wrote his Denkwürdigkeiten eines Nervenkranken in 1900-2. Because of the advanced methods practiced there, it received worldwide acclaim and served as a model for other institutions. Sonnenstein Asylum was one of the first 'therapeutic asylums'; activity rooms included billiards and music rooms.
Nazi era
From early 1940 until the end of June 1942, a part of the castle was converted into a killing centre. A gas chamber and crematorium were installed in the cellar of the former men's sanitary (building C 16). A high brick-wall on two sides of the complex shielded it from outside while a high hoarding (billboard) was erected on the other sides. Four buildings were located inside the shielding. They were used for offices, living rooms for the personnel etc. Sleeping quarters for the men who burned the bodies were provided for in the attic of building C 16. It is possible that other sections of the buildings were also used by T4.
From end of June 1940 until September 1942, approximately 15,000 persons were killed in the scope of the programme and the Sonderbehandlung 14f13. The staff consisted of about 100 persons. One third of them were ordered to the extermination camps in occupied Poland, because of their experiences in deception, killing, gassing and disposing of prisoners.
During August / September 1942 the Sonnenstein killing centre was liquidated and incriminating installations such as gas chambers and crematorium ovens dismantled. From October 1942 the buildings were used as a military hospital.
Aftermath
In the summer of 1947 some Action T4 members appeared as accused in the Dresdner Ärzteprozess (Doctor's Trial in Dresden). Professor Paul Nitsche, medical chief of T4, and two male nurses from Sonnenstein were sentenced to death.
It took about 40 years to recognise the part Sonnenstein played in the T4 program, and in 1989 the public commemorated the history of the centre. On 9 June 2000 a memorial center for the T-4 Program was opened in the house. It is managed by the Stiftung Sächsische Gedenkstätten zur Erinnerung an die Opfer politischer Gewaltherrschaft (Foundation for Memorial Institutions in Saxony for the Victims of Tyranny).
Since 1970, the building has again housed disabled people. After the establishment of a rehabilitation center, a workshop for disabled people was opened in 1991.
Bilfinger Berger worked on the refurbishment of Sonnenstein Castle in a project completed in 2011.
The small Saxon Psychiatric Museum in Leipzig, established in 2000, is also giving attention to the history of Sonnenstein castle.

Kojetín () is a town in Přerov District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 5,800 inhabitants.
Administrative parts
The town is made up of the town parts and villages of Kojetín I-Město, Kojetín II-Popůvky and Kojetín III-Kovalovice.
Geography
Kojetín is located about northeast of Kroměříž and southwest of Přerov. It lies mostly in the Upper Morava Valley, the southern part of the municipal territory is located in the Litenčice Hills. The town is located on the right bank of the Morava River; the Haná River flows south of the town.
History
According to legends, origins of Kojetín can be traced to the times of Samo's Empire. The town is said to receive its name after Samo's legendary son Kojata, who founded a settlement named Kojata, later Kojetín. In fact, it was probably not founded until the 12th or 13th century. The first written mention of Kojetín is from 1233.
Until the Hussite Wars, Kojetín was owned by the Diocese of Prague. After the wars, it was acquired by Jiří of Sternberg. Until the 18th century, it was gradually owned by several aristocratic families. The town achieved the most significant development during the rule of the Pernštejn family. In 1720, it returned to the property of the Diocese of Prague.
Demographics
Transport
The D1 motorway from Brno to Ostrava passes through the southern part of the municipal territory.
Kojetín is located on two important railway lines: Brno–Ostrava–Bohumín and Olomouc–Vyškov. A railway line of local importance also leads from Kojetín to Holešov.
Culture
Kojetín lies in the ethnographic region of Haná.
Sights
The most important monument and the landmark of the town is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. This Baroque church from the end of the 17th century was built on a Gothic ground plan.
The former synagogue in Kojetín is one of the oldest synagogues in Moravia. The building currently serves as a prayer house for the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. There is also a Jewish cemetery, first documented after 1550.

The New England Non-Resistance Society was an American peace group founded at a special peace convention organized by William Lloyd Garrison, in Boston in September 1838. Leading up to the convention, conservative members of the American Anti-Slavery Society and the American Peace Society expressed discomfort with Garrison's philosophy of "non-resistance" and inclusion of women in public political activities. After conservative attendees opposing Garrison walked out of the convention in protest, those remaining formed the New England Non-Resistance Society.
The Society condemned the use of force in resisting evil, in war, for the death penalty, or in self-defense, renounced allegiance to human government, and because of the anti-slavery cause, favored non-union with the American South.
The New England Non-Resistance Society was one of the more radical of the many organizations founded by William Lloyd Garrison, adopting a Declaration of Sentiments of which he was the principal author, pledging themselves to deny the validity of social distinctions based on race, nationality or gender", refusing obedience to human governments, and opposing even individual acts of self-defense. In the Society's Declaration of Sentiments, Garrison wrote, "any person without distinction of sex or color, who consents to the principles of this Constitution may become a member and be entitled to speak at its meetings." The Society rejected loyalty to any human government; one historian has described the Non-Resistance Society's "basic outlook as that of philosophical anarchism".
The declaration was signed by 44 people, of whom 20 were women. Maria Chapman became the editor of its publication, The Non-Resistant (1839 - 1840), along with Edmund Quincy), and William Lloyd Garrison and started publication in 1839. The first annual meeting was held in Philadelphia, Sept 24-27, 1839. The publication lasted only two years but was indicative of the millennial character of parts of the reform movement.
Among the members were Adin Ballou, Amos Bronson Alcott, Maria Weston Chapman, Stephen Symonds Foster, Abby Kelley, Samuel May, and Henry C. Wright.
The Non-Resistance Society held its last meeting in 1849.
The organization has been considered by one historian to be a "relatively exclusive vehicle of the radical [Boston] upper class"

Robert L. Papa (born September 19, 1964) is an American sportscaster who is currently the radio play-by-play voice for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). Papa also is the lead broadcaster for PGA Tour Champions events on Golf Channel and has been the blow-by-blow announcer on many professional boxing telecasts, notably for ESPN and for HBO’s Boxing After Dark series.
Biography
Early life
Papa grew up in Dumont, New Jersey, and graduated from Bergen Catholic High School in nearby Oradell. He graduated from Fordham University in 1986. His brother is not comedian Tom Papa. He is not related to the San Francisco 49ers broadcaster (and former long-time Oakland Raiders radio voice) Greg Papa.
Career
New York Giants (1995–present)
He is best known as the radio play-by-play voice of the New York Giants, a position he has held since he replaced Jim Gordon prior to the 1995 season.
He announces all 17 regular season games and all postseason games on the radio, and all of the team's pre-season games for WNBC in New York City and simulcast across the state. During his time with the Giants, he has called the team's victories in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI, as well as their loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV.
From 1988 to 1994, he worked on the Giants' pregame and postgame shows on the radio. His work with the Giants also includes his role as host of the YES Network's Giants Training Camp Report, and Giants Access Blue, Giants Chronicles, and Giants Online.
Other work
Additionally, Papa was the voice of Thursday Night Football on NFL Network until 2010. He files pregame and postgame reports from New York Giants games on Sundays for NFL GameDay Morning and contributes to NFL.com with columns, chats and reports. He works for the Golf Channel during the NFL off-season.
In addition, he was added as a member for Golf Channel and has called boxing for HBO, SportsChannel America, ESPN, NBC, and Versus. Papa called the infamous November 23, 2001, match between James Butler and Richard Grant on Friday Night Fights.
At fight's end, after Grant had been declared the winner, Butler sucker-punched Grant, breaking his jaw. Both Papa and his color commentator, Teddy Atlas, loudly called for both Butler's arrest, and permanent suspension from boxing. Butler later pleaded guilty to the slaying of artist/writer Sam Kellerman.
Papa was the radio voice for the New Jersey Nets on WOR for several years in the mid-1990s after Ian Eagle was promoted to television.
From 1989–92, he was the studio host for NHL on SportsChannel America. Denis Potvin was his analyst. From 2008 to 2010, he did play-by-play on NFL games that took place on NFL Network before being replaced by Brad Nessler.
Papa currently hosts "Airing It Out," along with Charlie Weis, on Sirius XM NFL Radio.
Olympics
A graduate of Fordham University, Papa, along with two more alumni, participated in the 2004 Summer Olympics held in Athens. Papa worked on NBC's coverage of the Olympics since 1992, as he covered boxing at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
In 2002, he covered cross-country skiing and curling. In 2010, he covered luge, skeleton, and bobsled. He served as the play by play announcer for NBC Sports coverage of Boxing at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He called Rugby at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Tinker or tinkerer is an archaic term for an itinerant tinsmith who mends household utensils.
Description
Tinker for metal-worker is attested from the thirteenth century as tyckner or tinkler. Some travelling groups and Romani people specialised in the trade, and the name was particularly associated with indigenous Irish Travellers and Scottish Highland Travellers – the name of whose language Beurla Reagaird means "metalworkers". However, this use is considered offensive.
The term "tinker", in British English, may refer to a mischievous child. Some modern-day nomads with an English, an Irish or a Scottish influence call themselves "techno-tinkers" or "technogypsies" in a revival of sorts of the romantic view of the tinker's lifestyle.
"Tinker's dam" or "damn" and "tinker's curse"
Both phrases tinker's damn and tinker's curse can be applied to something considered insignificant. An example: "I don't give a tinker's curse what the doctor thinks", sometimes shortened to, "I don't give a tinker's about the doctor."
A tinker's dam is also reportedly a temporary patch to retain solder when repairing a hole in a metal vessel, such as a pot or a pan. It was used by tinkers and was usually made of mud or clay, or sometimes other materials at hand, such as wet paper or dough. The material was built up around the outside of the hole, so as to plug it. Molten solder was then poured on the inside of the hole. The solder cooled and solidified against the dam and bonded with the metal wall. The dam was then brushed away. The remaining solder was then rasped and smoothed down by the tinker.
In the Practical Dictionary of Mechanics of 1877, Edward Knight gives this definition: "Tinker's-dam: a wall of dough raised around a place which a plumber desires to flood with a coat of solder. The material can be but once used; being consequently thrown away as worthless".
It is thought that the use of "tinker's dam" as something worthless, may have evolved into the phrase "tinker's curse". Although tinker's curse is attested in 1824, which was thought to be earlier than tinker's dam, "tinkers damn" is attested in 1823. An alternative derivation is that a tinker's curse or cuss was considered of little significance, possibly because tinkers (who worked with their hands near hot metal) were reputed to swear (curse) habitually.
When working with copper, tin, gold, or other low-melting-point metals, the tinker would construct a charcoal furnace out of bricks and mud. At the bottom, he would leave a hole for the molten metal to pour out into a trough that led to a casting or a depression for an ingot. The hole was covered with a temporary 'dam' which would be broken when the liquid metal had puddled at the bottom of the furnace. The function of the blockage coined the word 'tinker's dam' as being something that only lasted temporarily, as it was to be destroyed or made useless in the very near future.

Paatusoq, mentioned as 'Patursok' by Wilhelm August Graah, is a fjord in the King Frederick VI Coast, Kujalleq municipality, southeastern Greenland. Its name means "The one with the big mouth" in the Greenlandic language.
Geography
Paatusoq Fjord extends in a roughly east–west direction for about between the Danell Fjord to the north and the Kuutseq Fjord to the south. To the east the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean southwest of Cape Discord. There are two rocks awash in its mouth and Qasingortoq, a point marks its entrance. Danell Fjord lies close to the north, running parallel to Paatusoq.
Paatusoq has a short branch midway into its southern shore at about from the fjord's mouth with a glacier reaching down to the waterline.
Mountains
In the western part of Paatusoq the mountain ranges on both sides of the fjord rise steeply from the shore to heights of about . The massive succession of mountains on the northern side culminates in Mount Paatusoq (Patuersoq), a magnificent ultra-prominent peak at towering to a height of above the glacier at the head of the fjord. This mountain is marked as a peak in the Defense Mapping Agency Greenland Navigation charts.

"The Final Battle" is a two-part story comprising the twenty-first and twenty-second episodes of the sixth season of the American fantasy drama series Once Upon a Time, both of which aired on May 14, 2017. Both episodes served together as the sixth season finale.
In the episode, Henry and Emma work together to defeat the Black Fairy; in the Enchanted Forest, Snow, David, Hook, Regina, Zelena, the Queen, Aladdin, and Jasmine team up to save the worlds from being destroyed.
Plot
Opening sequence
The Seattle Monorail is seen in the forest. (Part 1, Part 2 in later releases)
No special element is featured in the title card. (Part 2)
The giant beanstalk springs from the ground in the forest. (Part 1 in later releases)
Event chronology
The Storybrooke events take place after the current events of "The Song in Your Heart", while the current events in the Enchanted Forest occur after "Mother's Little Helper".
The future events depicted in both Part 1 and Part 2 occurs in a new realm during the events of “The Eighth Witch”, and the events in "Hyperion Heights".
Part 1
In an enchanted forest
In the woods, a man is seen running away from a beast. He reaches a cabin and sends his daughter Lucy away with the Once Upon a Time storybook, telling her to keep it safe as he fights off the creature.
In Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest
Fiona enacted her curse on the entire town, engulfing everyone after the wedding. However, Henry, who is spared, wakes up with his storybook in his hands, and starts searching for his family. After running into Archie, he tells Henry that Emma is at the hospital, where she has been committed to a psychiatric ward for the past two years. While visiting Emma, he learns that with Fiona's curse, Regina's original curse was never broken, and Emma had stopped believing him. He asks her where Snow, Hook and David are, but the new curse now has Emma believing that these events never happened. Fiona (who is now the Mayor and Henry's "mother") arrives and takes the book from Henry, but before he leaves, he whisperedly tells Emma to resist.
Snow, David, Hook and Regina wake up and find themselves back in the Enchanted Forest, specifically at the palace where the events that led to the first curse began. They discover it is a prison for them and is tied to the book. Fiona, who is using this to banish Emma's family, tells Emma that she must burn the storybook if she wants to be released from the hospital, but Emma refuses. Back in the Enchanted Forest, everyone realizes that the Final Battle is over Emma's soul and belief. Fiona is trying to get Emma to stop believing so that the realms of story will cease to exist. When Zelena shows up with one of Jefferson's hats, they use it to reach a hallway of portals, where they find Oz disappeared. At the same time in Storybrooke, Fiona brings lunch to Gold and asks that he fixes her watch, as it appears that she is now his primary support in the wake of Belle's "disappearance".
The realms start to crumble under Fiona's curse, forcing all of its survivors to take shelter in the Evil Queen's castle, including Aladdin and Jasmine. Outside, Hook and David return to the magic beanstalk, in hopes of finding a magic bean that will get everyone back to Storybrooke. Henry breaks Emma out of the hospital and takes his mother to the rooftop where she was married, in hopes that she will remember her wedding to Hook. She has glimpses of her memories, but Emma has doubts and tells Henry that she wants to return to Boston, for fear that Fiona will put her back in the psychiatric ward. Meanwhile, Gideon is extremely upset with Belle "deserting" him and now sees Fiona as more of a mother than Belle, and Gold's attempts to console his son don't help either. When Gold searches through his belongings, he also discovers that most of his magic potions has been removed by Fiona's curse.
Regina and Zelena try to work on a potion but find most of the ingredients missing, when the Queen arrives and offers to help, having been forced to flee from the Wish Realm with that realm's Robin due to its residents' hostility. Henry attempts to steal the storybook back from Fiona but she catches him, and believes that she can use him to control Emma. As Henry escapes, Fiona uses her magic to push him down the stairs. Moments later, Gold asks Fiona to reopen the investigation into Belle's disappearance. As Fiona tries to talk him out of it, she shows him pictures of Belle enjoying life in other countries, and wants Gold to move on.
Hook and David began their search for the magic beans and Hook eventually finds one, only to encounter a dragon, which chases them down the beanstalk. At the hospital, Henry wakes up and discovers that Fiona is manipulating Emma during their visit, and eventually succeeds in convincing Emma to burn the storybook. Most of the realms depicted in the book begins to be consumed by the curse, which arrives on the outskirts of the Enchanted Forest in the form of a massive storm of dark magic. As the book is burning, the pages flip to a picture of Hook, and Emma stares at his image as the flames consume the page.
Part 2
In an enchanted forest
The young girl returns to her home and discovers everything destroyed. However, Tiger Lily shows up and tells her to take the book to her mother, telling her that the fairies foresaw that she will be reunited with her father and to never give up on the lesson the book gives, to never lose hope.
In Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest
Fiona brings what was left of the book to Henry and gloats that Emma has lost her faith, though Henry refuses to accept this. Emma leaves Storybrooke to return to Boston. When she gets back to her apartment there, she discovers that Henry left her a hand-drawn storybook in order to make her remember their past. Meanwhile, as the realms are starting to collapse, David and Hook escape the dragon, but while climbing down the beanstalk, they lose their balance and fall. Snow and Jasmine set out to find them, eventually finding Hook, and Snow tells him to take the bean back to the castle. Finding an unconscious David, Snow kisses him and he wakes.
Henry goes to the pawnshop and meets with Gold, who attempts to feign ignorance of the curse. Henry head towards the shop's back and uncovers Gold's potions, proving that Gold still remembers his past. Gold acknowledges Henry's cleverness, but also refuses to help Henry as his primary concern is finding Belle. Henry decides that he should take on Fiona himself, and Gold heals his injuries and allows him to take David's old sword. Regina and the Queen discover that the bean had withered and lost its magic, because Fiona's curse has caused Emma's lack of faith to drain the magic from the realm. As the storm closes in, the Queen decides to sacrifice herself and protect the castle, in order to buy enough time for Regina to restore the bean, while everyone else gathers in the courtyard. However, Regina fails to restore the bean in time, and the storm bursts into the castle and surrounds them. When Henry arrives at the Mayor's office, Emma returns. She tells Henry that while she doesn't remember being who Henry tells her that she is, she does believe that she can be that person with his help. Her renewed belief stops the destruction of the Enchanted Forest just in time. Meanwhile, Gold uses a tracking spell on the "Her Handsome Hero" book to find Belle, who was hiding from Fiona, having been turned into a coward by Fiona's curse. Gold tells her about Fiona's deception, and angrily vows revenge on Fiona for what she had done to Belle.
Fiona stops by the pawn shop to see Gideon, with the knowledge of Emma regaining her belief, and reveals that she has reclaimed Gideon's heart with the curse. She orders Gideon to recover her own wand, which she uses to decipher the mysterious writings that Henry had scribbled, then sends him to kill Emma. When Gold confronts Fiona about her plans, she tells her son that once the Final Battle is won, she would be able to allow Gold to have both love and power. Gold tells her that it would come with a steep price, as he secretly slips Fiona's wand into his hand, subduing her. Fiona tells Gold that she had deciphered Henry's writing, having also given Gideon one final command – to kill Emma, and that even if she dies, Gideon will still be forced to carry it out. Gold decides to test this and kills Fiona with her own wand, breaking the curse. This causes Snow, David, Regina, Hook and Zelena to be transported back to Storybrooke whilst the other refugees are returned to their own realms, while Emma and the residents of Storybrooke regain their memories. Soon afterwards, Belle returns to Gold and comforts him over his actions, while Gideon confronts Emma with the Hrunting in his hand.
Both Gold and Belle set off to search for Gideon's heart. Henry helps Emma escape from Gideon with Emma placing a protection spell to contain him temporarily. The others realize that Fiona has crafted the perfect trap: if Gideon kills Emma, light will be destroyed, and if Emma kills Gideon, she will turn dark and light will still be destroyed. Regina consoles Emma and encourages her to find another way like she always does. Emma attempts to hold off Gideon, as Gold finds Gideon's heart. Once he finds it, he is tempted by a manifestation of the Darkness, which takes the form of his Enchanted Forest counterpart, Rumplestiltskin. The manifestation tells him to let Gideon kill Emma so he can finally have it all. Gold resists the temptation and tries to use Gideon's heart to stop him from killing Emma, however, Fiona's spell keeps him from doing so. Back at the intersection, Emma and Gideon fight with Emma acknowledging her role as the Savior. Realizing what she must do, Emma surrenders and Gideon apologizes and runs her through, releasing an enormous blast of light magic, ending the Final Battle and causing Gideon to disappear.
As everyone gathers around Emma, Henry awakens Emma using true love's kiss, while Gold and Belle discover that Gideon is once again a baby, realizing that this is their new start as a family. The "Once Upon a Time" storybook re-manifests, and Snow arrives to pick it up. Henry looks at the final page of the storybook which writes itself with the words "When both good and evil did the right thing, faith was restored. The final battle was won." Snow reminds everyone that the story isn't over. The Enchanted Forest, Neverland, Wonderland, Agrabah, Arendelle, the Land of Oz and all the other realms are restored and their residents embark on their happy beginnings, as does everyone in Storybrooke. Emma and Hook patrol as the town sheriffs, Henry goes back to school, Regina returns to her role as mayor with the dwarfs giving her the title "queen" without "evil", Zelena spends time with baby Robin, David farms with a growing Neal, Gold and Belle renew their relationship and raise Gideon together, Snow White becomes a teacher again and Robin Hood from the Wish Realm proposes to the Queen in Regina's restored palace. They all gather together at Granny's to celebrate their lives together.
In Seattle
Many years later in Seattle, Lucy arrives at a man's apartment by train. Lucy tells the man, who is revealed to be an adult Henry, that she is his daughter and that his family needs him, although Henry no longer remembers her.
Production
"The Final Battle" marks the last appearances as regulars of six cast members: Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Jared S. Gilmore, Emilie de Ravin and Rebecca Mader. The episodes' bookends set up new timelines that continued in the seventh season. Gilmore's character, Henry Mills, was played as an adult by Andrew J. West, who along with newcomer Alison Fernandez, became series regulars in the seventh season.
Sean Maguire does not appear in the episode, but is credited, as he lends his voice for a few seconds in a scene with the Evil Queen.
This also marks the series' final Sunday night airing after six seasons, as ABC announced on May 16, 2017, that the series would move to Friday nights for the seventh season.
Notes
Even though the title card stated "The Enchanted Forest" during the future events involving adult Henry and his daughter Lucy, it is later revealed to be a new realm, the New Enchanted Forest.

Pat Shannahan (died 2020) was a sample clearance expert. Shannahan worked with artists such as the Beastie Boys, Janet Jackson, and The Avalanches to research and clear many of the samples used in their music.
Career
Shannahan worked for over 20 years clearing the use of samples for musical artists. Over the course of her career Shannahan worked for RCA, ABC Music, Island Records, and Polygram recording companies. She researched which publishing company or independent artist controls the rights to the music to broker a deal to include the sample in another artists work. One of the earliest albums she worked on was an unnamed Prince Paul release.
The Avalanches album Wildflower contained many samples, all of which were cleared by Shannahan. One of the most difficult songs to clear was "Noisy Eater", as it contained samples of the Beatles song "Come Together".
Personal life
Shannahan lived in Los Angeles, California.

The four-point flexural test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending , flexural stress , flexural strain and the flexural stress-strain response of the material. This test is very similar to the three-point bending flexural test. The major difference being that with the addition of a fourth bearing the portion of the beam between the two loading points is put under maximum stress, as opposed to only the material right under the central bearing in the case of three-point bending.
This difference is of prime importance when studying brittle materials, where the number and severity of flaws exposed to the maximum stress is directly related to the flexural strength and crack initiation. Compared to the three-point bending flexural test, there are no shear forces in the four-point bending flexural test in the area between the two loading pins. The four-point bending test is therefore particularly suitable for brittle materials that cannot withstand shear stresses very well.
It is one of the most widely used apparatus to characterize fatigue and flexural stiffness of asphalt mixtures.
Testing method
The test method for conducting the test usually involves a specified test fixture on a universal testing machine. Details of the test preparation, conditioning, and conduct affect the test results. The sample is placed on two supporting pins a set distance apart and two loading pins placed at an equal distance around the center. These two loadings are lowered from above at a constant rate until sample failure.
Calculation of the flexural stress
for four-point bending test where the loading span is 1/2 of the support span (rectangular cross section)
for four-point bending test where the loading span is 1/3 of the support span (rectangular cross section)
for three-point bending test (rectangular cross section)
in these formulas the following parameters are used:
= Stress in outer fibers at midpoint, (MPa)
= load at a given point on the load deflection curve, (N)
= Support span, (mm)
= Width of test beam, (mm)
= Depth or thickness of tested beam, (mm)
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of three-point and four-point bending tests over uniaxial tensile tests include:
simpler sample geometries
minimum sample machining is required
simple test fixture
possibility to use as-fabricated materials
Disadvantages include:
more complex integral stress distributions through the sample
Application with different materials
Ceramics
Ceramics are usually very brittle, and their flexural strength depends on both their inherent toughness and the size and severity of flaws. Exposing a large volume of material to the maximum stress will reduce the measured flexural strength because it increases the likelihood of having cracks reaching critical length at a given applied load. Values for the flexural strength measured with four-point bending will be significantly lower than with three-point bending., Compared with three-point bending test, this method is more suitable for strength evaluation of butt joint specimens. The advantage of four-point bending test is that a larger portion of the specimen between two inner loading pins is subjected to a constant bending moment, and therefore, positioning the joint region is more repeatable.

is a railway station in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Lines
Tsurumi Station is an interchange between the Keihin-Tōhoku Line and the Tsurumi Line (of which it is a terminus), and is 52.0 km from the northern terminus of the Keihin-Tōhoku Line at Ōmiya Station.
Station layout
Tsurumi Station is an elevated station with one island platform for the Keihin-Tōhoku Line, and two opposed side platforms for the Tsurumi Line.
From the north side of the Keihin-Tōhoku Line platform are located, in order, The Tokaido Line passenger train lines in both directions, The Tokaido Line Tokyo-bound freight train tracks, three tracks for trains to stop at overnight, and the Tokaido Line freight train tracks for the direction from Tokyo. None of these have platforms.
Between the Keihin-Tōhoku Line and Tsurumi Line there is a ticket gate, which is a remnant of when the Tsurumi Line was operated by the separate .
There is a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office as well as automatic ticket gates. The Keihin-Tōhoku Line platforms are connected to the concourse by escalators and elevators.
Platforms
History
Tsurumi Station was opened on 15 November 1872, as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (the predecessor to the Japanese National Railways) Tōkaidō Main Line, initially for passenger operations only. Freight services started on 1 April 1898. The Keihin Line began operations to Tsurumi from 20 December 1914. On 23 December 1934, the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (present-day Tsurumi Line) connected to Tsurumi Station. The station was the location of a major railway accident, the Tsurumi Accident on 9 November 1963. It was one of the five major post-war JNR accidents. Upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station has been operated by JR East.
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2013, the station was used by an average of 78,272 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), making it the 56th-busiest station operated by JR East. The daily average passenger figures (boarding passengers only) in previous years are as shown below.

SPIRA—Concerto for Orchestra is an orchestral composition written in 2019 by the South Korean composer Unsuk Chin. It was commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which gave the piece its world premiere under the direction of Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on 5 April 2019.
Composition
Spira is cast in one continuous movement and lasts about 19 minutes. The title of the piece comes from the self-similar spiral curve known as a logarithmic spiral, which was nicknamed Spira mirabilis ("the marvelous spiral") by the 17th-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli. Unsuk Chin was inspired to write a concerto for orchestra following a decade-long relationship with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, which she described as "among the most inspiring ones." In the score program note, she wrote, "What fascinates me about this chameleonic 'genre' is not only that it challenges musicians to peaks of virtuosity but especially that it can coax unprecedented textures, sonorities, and forms from the symphony orchestra. The orchestra can be presented as one entity, a 'super-orchestra', but also in various chamber-like combinations, and one can also highlight a certain section or even single musicians as soloists."
The piece prominently features the use of a pair of vibraphones placed spatially apart, with an additional musician controlling each instruments' resonance. The composer added:

The work is scored for a large orchestra comprising three flutes (2nd doubling alto flute; 3rd doubling piccolo), three oboes (3rd doubling English horn), four clarinets (2nd doubling E-flat clarinet), three bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), six horns, four trumpets, four trombones, tuba, timpani, four or five percussionists (playing two vibraphones, washboard, guiro, triangle, chimes, flextone, two metal blocks, crotales, three suspended cymbals, snare drums, bass marimba, xylophone, splash cymbal, three tam-tams, crash cymbals, tambourine, glockenspiel, bass drum, thunder sheet), harp, piano (doubling celesta), and strings.
Reception
Reviewing the world premiere, Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times praised the piece, remarking that it "takes its sound world from a pair of bowed vibraphones spreading overtones all over the place, so they can be picked up by strings and winds and brass and bloom springlike into ever-expanding bouquet of glittery vibration." Andrew Clements of The Guardian similarly wrote, "Despite the hyperactivity and complexity of the scoring, the full orchestral forces are used sparingly; the overriding impression is of glittering transparency, and of tracing a totally sure-footed harmonic path from beginning to end." Rebecca Franks of The Times also praised the piece, writing that Unsuk Chin "allows the music to unfurl and curl in a riot of ricocheting, shimmering, explosive, glittering detail." She continued, "Chin's command of the orchestral palette is incredible and, as if looking at a slide under a microscope, the more closely you listened, the more there was to discover. I almost wished they had played Spira twice, there was so much to take in."

Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill was a chain of sports bars and restaurants located in Texas. The restaurant chain was known for its scantily-clad waitresses, called "Bikini Babes", whose uniforms consist of its eponymous bikini tops, cowboy boots, and tight denim shorts. The chain was also known for trademarking the term "breastaurant" (a common term for this and similar restaurants) and purchasing a ghost town that was temporarily renamed "Bikinis, Texas". The chain ceased operations on December 23, 2018.
History
Restaurant founder Doug Guller reports having gotten the idea for Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill in 2001 on an Australian vacation after being offered a beer by an attractive waitress while watching rugby. Guller theorized that a combination of sports, beer, and sex appeal would be particularly recession-proof. The first restaurant was opened in Austin in 2006, and a total of 14 locations have subsequently opened, all of which are now closed. Most of the locations were in the Interstate 35 corridor in Texas (San Antonio).
The CBS TV show Undercover Boss featured Bikinis Sports Bar and Grill, airing on December 28, 2014. The show featured Guller posing undercover. He interacted with a bartender who said she normally wears a bikini top but felt uncomfortable wearing that on camera, so she opted to wear a T-shirt. He felt she was overserving an intoxicated patron. Not knowing that Guller was the CEO, she was candid about not being interested in the job as a career. The lack of enthusiasm ultimately led Guller to firing her on camera. A waitress with a good attitude was rewarded with breast augmentation surgery. These scenes provoked controversy on social media, especially on the Bikinis Facebook pages and on Twitter.
Since May 2015, the Bikinis located in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex (DFW), which was featured on Undercover Boss, has been in the process of being rebranded by ATX Brands as Gino's East Pizzerias. This would make DFW the second populated metropolitan statistical area in Texas (besides Houston and San Antonio) to lose its Bikinis restaurants. DFW locations Arlington and Richardson have been shuttered since February 11, 2015, with the Mesquite location following suit after April 15, 2015. The Austin location ceased operations on December 23, 2018.
Marketing
Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill utilized a marketing campaign which has included several high-profile publicity stunts. The restaurant chain had a loyalty program formerly known as the Bikinis Black Card where patrons earned points for rewards. Patrons who had over 1000 points on their black card account would judge one of their in-store bikini contests. During the opening of Bikinis, Texas in July 2013, Black Card account holders also got a chance to meet Carmen Electra in person.
The restaurant chain hosted a monthly bikini contest. Some of the contests were seasonal until February 2014 when the company began phasing out the contests based on the ratio of active waitstaff who would sign up and enter in lieu of the newly established Miss Bikinis USA Pageant.
Bikinis, Texas
In 2012, Guller purchased the ghost town of Bankersmith saying that he would rename the town to "Bikinis, Texas" after his restaurant chain. Guller said he would turn the town into a tourist destination with the creation of a bikini hall of fame which described the swimwear's history. No plans were made to open a Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill restaurant at the location, but Guller suggested that a bar inside an abandoned bus could be possible.
A "grand opening" of Bikinis, Texas was scheduled for July 13, 2013. Country musician Jerry Jeff Walker was to perform and Carmen Electra was present to be inducted to the bikini hall of fame. Other events which have been planned to be associated with the town include a "Miss Bikinis USA" pageant and a possible reality show. Bikinis, Texas was reverted to its previous name of Bankersmith in 2015, reportedly in an effort from Guller to mend fences with residents of nearby Fredericksburg, who were reportedly upset with the name change. As of January 2017, Bankersmith is up for sale.
"Breastaurant" trademark
In September 2011, Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill filed a request with a United States Patent and Trademark Office to register the term "breastaurant". The term was successfully registered in October 2012 and was marked by the trademark office as "Un-Revivable" on May 24, 2019. The Huffington Post suggested that the trademarking of "breastaurant" was a consequence of the boom in breastaurant sales figures in the early 2010s.

Acquisitions included the Fairmont & Western and Red Springs & Northern in 1984, the Franklin County Railroad and Nash County Railroad in 1985, as well as the Saltville Railroad in Virginia from 1982. The Yadkin Valley Railroad would begin operations in 1989 under L&S control.
Upon the 1994 acquisition of the Laurinburg & Southern holding company by Gulf & Ohio the railroad had been reduced to owning only its namesake line and two others, the Nash County railroad and Yadkin Valley Railroad. The other railroads had been abandoned or were out of service. The Yadkin Valley railroad and the Laurinburg & Southern are still operated by Gulf & Ohio. The former Nash County Railroad was sold in 2011 and now operates under the CLNA reporting mark.

Mount Webb is a 2,164-meter-elevation (7,100-foot) mountain summit located in the North Cascades in British Columbia, Canada.
Description
Mount Webb is set north of the Canada–United States border and is within Sx̱ótsaqel/Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park. This peak is situated immediately west of Chilliwack Lake, and north of Mount Lindeman. Mount Webb is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above Chilliwack Lake in . Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains east into the lake and west into Radium Creek which are both within the Chilliwack River watershed. The nearest higher neighbor is Macdonald Peak, to the south.
Climbing history
The first ascent of the summit was possibly made in August 1859 by surveyor Henry Custer and George Gibbs, but cannot be verified. The first ascent via the west face was made July 1984 by Kevin Haberl and Anders Ourom. The Northeast Buttress was first climbed September 1997 by Doug Wilm, Drew Brayshaw, Eric Hutton and Carl Fleet.
Etymology
The mountain was named after Christopher E. Webb, a consulting engineer with Federal Water Resources and later senior hydroelectric engineer for BC Electric Company. He first visited this area in 1916, while searching for the headwaters of Chilliwack River and a potential source of hydroelectric power for lower mainland communities. He and his wife purchased property at the north end of Chilliwack Lake in 1927, and built a one-room log cabin there in 1929. The toponym was officially adopted February 24, 1975, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
Climate
Mount Webb is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades. As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Due to its temperate climate and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, areas west of the Cascade Crest very rarely experience temperatures below or above . During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high avalanche danger. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.
Geology
The North Cascades feature some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences.
The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris. The U-shaped cross section of the river valleys is a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

Adolf Humborg (January 18, 1847 Oraviţa - April 14, 1921 Munich) was an Austrian painter. Humborg studied at the Art Academy in Vienna between 1867 and 1872. He then completed his studies at the Academy of Arts in Munich, where he attended the class of professor Alexander von Wagner (1838-1904).
Humborg specialized in painting scenes of monastic life and was renowned for capturing scenes of monks that were humorous in nature. The Glaspalast in Munich frequently exhibited his work between 1879 and 1911. Based on his success there, Humborg decided to become a permanent resident of Munich in 1913. He also exhibited in London, where he was awarded the silver medal in 1893 and the bronze medal in 1894 for his work.

Count Pavel Ivanovich Kutaisov (Russian:Павел Иванович Кутайсов; 25 November 1780, Saint Petersburg - 9 March 1840, Tambov) — was a Georgian born Russian Imperial Chamberlain and Steward. He also served as Chairman of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and was a member of the State Council.
Biography
His father, , was the favorite valet of Tsar Paul I and was probably of Georgian origin. At the age of seven, he was enlisted in the Life Guard Horse Regiment. By 1796, when he was sixteen, he had already advanced to an important rank, but was not as committed to a military career as other members of his family. At the request of his father, Admiral Alexander Shishkov took him under his wing for a short tour of Europe, but this apparently did not work out well. Many of his contemporaries; notably Alexander Bulgakov, spoke poorly of him.
His career was advanced considerably when the Tsar took Anna Lopukhina as a mistress and his father was able to arrange a marriage to Anna's sister, Praskovya (1784-1870). Although they had five children, he was widely believed to be homosexual. In 1800, he was named an Imperial Chamberlain. Upon the accession of Alexander I, he was transferred to the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, where he served until 1809, when he was named a Prosecutor for the Governing Senate. During the French Invasion of Russia, he led the evacuation of the Senate to Kazan and was awarded a gold snuff box for his efforts.
In 1816, he received a promotion to Privy Councillor and, in 1817, became a member of the Senate. He also served on various commissions, including oversight of the construction of Saint Isaac's Cathedral and directing operations for the Imperial theaters. In 1826, he was appointed to the Supreme Criminal Court charged with prosecuting the Decembrists. In 1832, he became an Imperial Steward. After receiving two more promotions, he was stripped of his ranks, following the disastrous Fire in the Winter Palace.
In addition to his governmental duties, he served as Chairman of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and was known as a patron of young artists. In 1835, he accompanied Mikhail Scotti on a study trip to Italy, and provided a workshop for the brothers Grigory and Nikanor Chernetsov.
His daughter, Anna, married Prince Okropir of Georgia. Although never officially separated, from the mid-1830s Praskovya spent most of her time abroad. In 1840, he retired to his estate in Tambov, to organize his affairs, and died there.

Hamdi Meddeb (born: Mohamed Meddeb in 1952) is a Tunisian businessman, investor, and the current president of Espérance Sportive de Tunis, the oldest sports club in Tunisia.
Early life
Meddeb had played soccer for Espérance Sportive de Tunis's youth team from 1967 to 1971.
Business
In 1978, he took over his family business and founded the Tunisian Company for Dairy Industries (French: la Société tunisienne des industries alimentaires, STIAL). In 1997, Délice partenered with Danone—giving it a 50 percent stake in the business—to form Délice Danone.
Meddeb partnered with the British company Virgin Cola in 2002 to produce soft drinks for the Tunisian market, but the partnership lasted only four years.
In 2014, Meddeb introduced Délice Holding into Tunis Stock Exchange.
Espérance Sportive de Tunis (EST)
After the 1990s Espérance golden age with president Slim Chiboub, fans were worried about who is going to preside over the club when Chiboub left in 2004. Businessman Aziz Zouhir held the presidency for two years and nine months, from November 2004 to August 2007. Hamdi Meddeb became the president of Espérance Sportive de Tunis on 10 August 2007. Prior to becoming the next president, Meddeb was an unknown to most Tunisians, and even most EST fans. After retiring from the Espérance's youth team as a player in the early 1970s, Hamdi Meddeb dedicated himself to his business, but stayed close to Espérance and had held different administrative roles—including being a continuous financier of the club—through the years.
In June 2021, Meddeb expressed his intention to resign and leave the club. The consensus among the members and the fans was against his departure. Eventually, he reexamined his possible resignation and stayed.
Although Hamdi Meddeb is often invited and met by presidents and prime ministers of Tunisia, he rarely appears in the media or gives interviews.
Controversies
After the collapse of the regime in Tunisia on 14 January 2011, several businessmen and captains of industries were accused of corruption and their support for Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in his 2009 presidential campaign.
Meddeb's friendship with Mohamed Sakher El Materi, Ben Ali's son-in-law, caused many rumors to spread about his reputation as a businessman. He partnered with Matri and was among the early investors for Zitouna Bank. In November 2010, Meddeb and Matri bought a 25 percent stake in Tunisiana (later rebranded as Ooredoo Tunisia).

The London Electric Railway (LER) was an underground railway company operating three lines on the London Underground. It was formed in 1910 and existed until 1933, when it was merged into the London Passenger Transport Board.
History
The LER was formed and owned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL) in 1910 to combine the management of three of the company's subsidiary deep-level tube railway companies: the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR), the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR) and the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR) which had opened in 1906 and 1907. The merger was carried out in accordance with the London Electric Railway Amalgamation Act 1910 (10 Edw. 7. & 1 Geo. 5. c. xxxii) by transferring the assets of the CCE&HR and the BS&WR to the GNP&BR and renaming the GNP&BR as the London Electric Railway.
Although the LER management was combined, the three lines continued to be identified separately for operational purposes as the Bakerloo tube, Hampstead tube and Piccadilly tube.
In 1912, in preparation for the extension of the Hampstead Tube from Golders Green to Edgware, the LER took over the Edgware & Hampstead Railway.
When the UERL and other transport operators in the London area were merged to form the London Passenger Transport Board on 1 July 1933, the LER was liquidated.
The LER's routes now form the central sections of the Bakerloo line, Northern line and Piccadilly line.

Rufina Vigil, also called Sah Wa, was an Puebloan-American painter from the Tesuque Pueblo tribe, part of the Eight Northern Pueblos. Active in the 1930s, she studied under Dorothy Dunn at the Santa Fe Indian School. At one time she worked as a drafter in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Vigil's paintings depict Tesuque life, including women gathering guaco and firing pottery. Her 1936 painting Mass at Fiesta is one of the earliest depictions of Catholic Church rituals by an indigenous North American painter.
Vigil was a genre painter, who painted daily and ceremonial life at Tesuque Pueblo. Vigil's work has been described as "painted in a deliberate, independent style" that depicts everyday life at the pueblo, and "women's roles in her community in the 1930s." Dorothy Dunn wrote of Vigil: "She had great patience with fine detail and was adept at composition."
Her painting, Mass at the Fiesta, was exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in the 1953 Contemporary American Indian Painting exhibition, that later traveled through Europe to various venues. The painting portrays women wearing long, colorfully patterned prayer shawls and traditional leggings of white deerskin. The men in the painting are portrayed with their hair tied in traditional knots of the pueblo style, and wearing silver concha belts at their waists.
Collections
Vigil's work is in the Anne Forbes Collection at the Smithsonian Institution, and the Museum of New Mexico.

Harden is a small lunar impact crater that lies in the eastern part of the interior floor of the walled plain Mendeleev. It is located on the far side of the Moon, and cannot been seen from the Earth.
The crater is a circular, bowl-shaped feature with a slightly higher albedo than the surrounding terrain, but lacks the skirt of bright ejecta that many young impacts possess. The edge and interior are not notably eroded, and no significant craters overlie this feature. To the southeast of this crater, overlying the rim of Mendeleev, is the large Schuster.

Nochistlán is one of the 58 municipalities in the Mexican state of Zacatecas. Founded by the Caxcanes, it was also the first site of Guadalajara in Mexico.
Nochistlán () is a town in the Mexican state of Zacatecas. Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán, on December 3, 1531, hired Cristóbal de Oñate to establish a village in Nochistlán; the village would be named Guadalajara to honor Guzmán for having been born in Guadalajara.
Guadalajara was founded in Nochistlán on January 5, having as officials Cristóbal de Oñate, Sancho Ortiz de Zúñiga and Miguel Ibarra. They worked at this project for only 16 months and created the first layout of Guadalajara.
The first news that we have regarding the natives of these lands points to the Tecuexe. These people established settlements around 1000. Later in the 12th century a new group of people moved in, these people were called Caxcan and they were from the valley in Tuitlán, which is now found in the municipality of Villanueva, Zacatecas. The Caxcan established Nochistlán by driving out the Tecuexe by force.
Population
In the 2020 census, the Municipality of Nochistlán reported a population of 27,945. Of these, 16,562 lived in the municipal seat, Nochistlán, and the remainder lived in surrounding rural communities.
History
The first news that we have regarding the natives of these lands points to the Tecuexes. These people settled in the region around 1000 A.D. Later, in the 12th century, a new group of people called the Caxcanes moved in, they were from the valley in Tuitlán, which is now found in the Municipality of Villanueva, Zacatecas. The Caxcanes established Nochistlán by driving out the Tecuexes by force.
On December 3, 1531, Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán hired Cristobal de Oñate to establish a village in Nochistlán, (now a town in Zacatecas) the village would be named Guadalajara in honor of Guzmán for his birth in Guadalajara.

The 2006 IRL Indy Pro Series was the fifth season of the developmental open-wheel racing series under the Indy Racing League ownership, and the 21st in Indy NXT combined history, as officially recognized by IndyCar. Both Menards and Nissan dropped their sponsorship of the series, which was renamed to Indy Pro Series for the following two years. It was the first season to include double-header races in road course races. All teams used Dallara IL-02 chassis, now with the unbranded TWR engines, as they would remain until the end of its use in 2014.
English rookie Jay Howard, driving for Sam Schmidt Motorsports narrowly won the championship by four points over American rookie Jonathan Klein of Andretti Green Racing, in a four-way battle for the title at the last round in Chicagoland Speedway that included the defending series champion Wade Cunningham and Bobby Wilson. Following in the footsteps of Cunningham, Howard prevailed through sheer consistency rather than outright brilliance, with seven podium finishes and two wins at Nashville and Kentucky. All of his wins and pole positions came at oval events, which only comprised half of the schedule.
Klein didn't manage to win a race, and only led a handful of laps during the year, but six podium finishes over the last seven races kept him in contention until the end. Cunningham, driving for Brian Stewart Racing, was also in contention at the final round despite missing the doubleheader at St. Petersburg due to an appendix removal. Cunningham won three races, including the first of his three Freedom 100 victories, scored four pole positions and led the most laps in seven of the 10 races he contested, but couldn't overcome the 93-point deficit to Howard after St. Petersburg and fell 11 points short. Besides, his win over at Chicagoland over Klein allowed Howard to win the championship. An early crash took Bobby Wilson out of contention, finishing fourth in the standings with a win at Watkins Glen.
Seven different drivers won a race during the year, including Jeff Simmons, who left the series as the points leader after three races to drive in IndyCar, and rookie Alex Lloyd, with two road course wins at Indianapolis and Sonoma. Lloyd would miss three races due to funding issues, and finished seventh in points. Two competitors from the Atlantic Championship made successful cameos during the year, with Brazilian rookie Raphael Matos sweeping the race weekend at St. Petersburg and Graham Rahal getting the pole position at the Liberty Challenge to finish second behind Lloyd, coming two laps short of winning in his only Indy Pro Series start.
Vision Racing disbanded their Indy Pro Series programme after one year, but the series was bolstered by an increase of price money and a host of new teams, led by the expansion of the Andretti Green Racing programme and the debut of Cheever Racing and Guthrie Racing. Other teams that expanded to a full-time effort were Michael Crawford Racing, AFS Racing and Dave McMillan Racing, although the latter scaled back during the year. The series had 16 to 18 cars at most of his rounds, with 19 starters at the Freedom 100, but only 11 at Milwaukee and 14 at the Sonoma races. 41 different drivers competed during the year, tying the all-time record from 1996 at the time, but only six drivers started all twelve races, with three others missing two or less events. Former Indy 500 starters Jon Herb and Tyce Carlson competed at the Freedom 100.
Drivers and teams
Schedule
The schedule downsized from 14 to 12 races, as the series moved to a 50-50 proportion on ovals and road courses. The ovals at Phoenix, Pikes Peak and Fontana were removed after their IndyCar events were discontinued, along with Texas Motor Speedway. In turn, the races at St. Petersburg and Sonoma were turned into doubleheaders, the first of their kind in the combined history of Indy Lights. Homestead-Miami continued as the venue for the season opener, while Chicagoland inherited the season finale slot from California Speedway.

The Leonardo numbers are a sequence of numbers given by the recurrence:
Edsger W. Dijkstra used them as an integral part of his smoothsort algorithm, and also analyzed them in some detail.
A Leonardo prime is a Leonardo number that's also prime.
Values
The first few Leonardo numbers are
1, 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 41, 67, 109, 177, 287, 465, 753, 1219, 1973, 3193, 5167, 8361, ...
The first few Leonardo primes are
3, 5, 41, 67, 109, 1973, 5167, 2692537, 11405773, 126491971, 331160281, 535828591, 279167724889, 145446920496281, 28944668049352441, 5760134388741632239, 63880869269980199809, 167242286979696845953, 597222253637954133837103, ...
Modulo cycles
The Leonardo numbers form a cycle in any modulo n≥2. An easy way to see it is:
If a pair of numbers modulo n appears twice in the sequence, then there's a cycle.
If we assume the main statement is false, using the previous statement, then it would imply there's infinite distinct pairs of numbers between 0 and n-1, which is false since there are n2 such pairs.
The cycles for n≤8 are:
The cycle always end on the pair (1,n-1), as it's the only pair which can precede the pair (1,1).
Expressions
The following equation applies:
Relation to Fibonacci numbers
The Leonardo numbers are related to the Fibonacci numbers by the relation .
From this relation it is straightforward to derive a closed-form expression for the Leonardo numbers, analogous to Binet's formula for the Fibonacci numbers:
where the golden ratio and are the roots of the quadratic polynomial .

Arba Minch (formerly called Ganta Garo) is a city and separate woreda in the southern part of Ethiopia. "Arba Minch" means "40 Springs", originated from the presence of more than 40 springs. It is located in the Gamo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region about 500 kilometers south of Addis Ababa, at an elevation of 1285 meters above sea level. It is the largest town in Gamo Zone. It is surrounded by Arba Minch Zuria woreda. This Town has plenty of natural gifts including the bridge of God, Crocodile ranch, crocodile market, different fruits and vegetables, different fishes farmed from Chamo and Abaya Lakes, more than 40 springs, different cereals, and crops, surprisingly having the two big Lakes in the country, lake Abaya and Chamo, respectively, next to Lake Tana, etc. This makes the town one of the tourist destinations in Ethiopia, which comprises Nech Sar National Park, home to the country's varied wildlife and plant species.
Overview
Arba Minch received its name for the abundant local springs which produce a groundwater forest. Located at the base of the western side of the Great Rift Valley, Arba Minch consists of the uptown administrative centre of Shecha and 4 kilometers away the downtown commercial and residential areas of Sikela, which are connected by a paved road. On the eastern side of Sikela is the gate to Nechisar National Park, which covers the isthmus between Lake Abaya to the north and Lake Chamo to the south. Buses and taxis connect the uptown and downtown parts; both parts have schools. Kulfo River flows through the town, and drains into Lake Chamo.
History
Arba Minch was founded in the early 1960s by the Fitawrari Aemeroselasie Abebe in the area locally known as "Ganta Garo". "Ganta Garo" mean in Gamo Ganta dere Language the land in which everything abundantly available for the people as well as for the animals. The city succeeded Chencha as the provincial capital city of Gamu-Gofa. The oral tradition has it that Fitawrari Aemiro Selassie Abebe had to fight with prominent figures of Chencha (Aba Gaga) to move the capital from Chencha to Arba Minch (Ganta Garo). One of the reasons for Aemiroselassie Abebe to move the provincial center from Chencha to Arba Minch (Ganta Garo) was for travelers from Gidole to Chencha to take a break after a long, hot crossing of the arid Rift Valley area. This was because Arba Minch have plenty of recreational areas. Roads were built linking the new town to Soddo and making Arba Minch only a day's journey by road to the capital, Addis Ababa. A telephone line connecting the town to the capital, costing E$ 250,000, was turned up on 15 July 1967.
Arba Minch had previously served as a capital city for Gamo Gofa Province (Gamo Gofa Teklay Gizat), North Omo Zone (Semen Omo), Kilil 9 (Region 9), Gamo Gofa Zone, and now is serving as a capital city of Gamo Zone.
The Norwegian Lutheran Mission opened a station at Arba Minch in 1970, which included a trade school; the school's operation was later taken over by the Mekane Yesus Church. At the beginning of the Ethiopian Revolution public demonstrations occurred in the town, and four people were killed in clashes with the police on 28 March 1974. Following the revolution privately held plantations were made into state farms.
The 193 million birr Arba Minch Textile Mill was opened on 6 May 1992 in the presence of Ethiopian Prime Minister Tamirat Layne. The mill would produce polyester mixed with cotton grey fabrics. According to the SNNPR's Bureau of Finance and Economic Development, other amenities in Arba Minch include postal service, 24-hour electrical service, a bank and a hospital. In May 2010, the Ethiopian Roads Authority awarded a contract worth 563 million E$ to the construction firm of Brehane Hagos to build a road 60 kilometers in length from this town to Belta. The United States military operated a facility at Arba Minch from 2011 until September 2015. The facility served as the base for several General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles.
Demographics
Based on the 2007 Census conducted by the CSA, this town has a total population of 74,879, of whom 39,208 were male and 35,671 female. The majority of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 56.04% of the population reporting that belief, 38.47% were Protestants, and 4.16% were Muslim.
The 1994 national census reported this town had a total population of 40,020 of whom 20,096 were males and 19,924 were females.

"In the City" is a rock song written by Barry De Vorzon and Joe Walsh. It was first recorded by Walsh and released on the soundtrack for the 1979 film The Warriors. Another version of the song, recorded by Walsh's band the Eagles, was included on their album The Long Run, released the same year.
Background
The track was first recorded by guitarist Joe Walsh for the soundtrack to the 1979 movie The Warriors; the Eagles liked what they heard and decided to record it for their album The Long Run.
A video made for the track features a staged recording session: Joe Walsh plays a Gibson double neck guitar using the 12-string neck for the rhythm parts and the 6-string neck for the slide guitar parts; Timothy B. Schmit plays a Fender bass; Don Felder plays a Fender Stratocaster; Don Henley uses an 8-piece Ludwig drum kit with Paiste cymbals; Glenn Frey plays piano; and Joe Vitale plays congas.
Although not released as a single, the track became an album-oriented rock radio favorite in the U.S. and a Walsh concert staple. It is also featured on the Eagles' 1994 Hell Freezes Over album and video; in this version, the song ends with a slower version of the guitar hook from the Beatles' 1966 hit "Day Tripper".
In popular culture
The Eagles version of the song was used in The Simpsons episode "The Winter of His Content", in which Bart's plot is a parody of The Warriors, and in the Rick and Morty episode "The Ricklantis Mixup".

John James Allen (September 25, 1797 – September 18, 1871) was a Virginia slave owner, lawyer, judge and politician. He served in the Virginia Senate, the 23rd United States Congress, and for 25 years as judge and President of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. He supported Virginia's secession during the American Civil War, and all his surviving sons joined the Confederate States Army, the two youngest dying in the conflict.
Early and family life
Allen was born at Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia to lawyer James Allen (1762-1844) and his wife, the former Jane Steele (1758-1826), daughter of Rev. John Steele (1715-1779; the "Fighting Parson" of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania). His father would represent Shenandoah county in the Virginia House of Delegates as well as become the local circuit court judge. John J. Allen studied at Washington College in Lexington, Virginia and at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, then read law with his father.
He married Mary Elizabeth Payne Jackson (daughter of John George and Mary Payne Jackson) on November 11, 1824. Their children included Mary J. Allen Watts (1825-1855), Jane S. Arthur (1831- ), John J. Allen Jr. (1831-1898), Eveline S. Allen Wood (1833-1909), Robert Edwin Allen (1836-1883), Henry Clay Allen (1838-1889), James Madison Allen (1840-1959), George Jackson Allen (1843-1862), and Baldwin Allen (1845-1862).
Career
Allen was admitted to the Virginia bar in 1818, and opened his first office at Campbell Courthouse, Virginia in 1819. He soon moved to Clarksburg, the seat of Harrison County where he practiced law in the surrounding counties for seventeen years, after 1830 (until his election as judge) in partnership with Gideon D. Camden, who also later became a circuit judge.
In 1828, voters from the trans-Appalachian counties of Kanawha, Logan, Mason, Cabell, Randolph, Harris, Lewis and Wood elected Allen to represent them in the Virginia Senate. However, he did not serve a full four year term, because the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829-1830 led to a reorganization of districts. His growing district was split, and William McComas came to represent Kanawha, Mason, Cabell, Logan and Nicholas Counties, and John McWhorter representing Harrison, Lewis and Wood Counties (although both members continued to serve on a part-time basis).
In 1832, Allen successfully ran for election to the U.S. Congress, and was a member of the 23rd United States Congress, serving for a year from March 4, 1833 to March 4, 1835.
In the 1834 election, voters in Harrison, Lewis and Preston counties elected Allen as their Commonwealth’s Attorney (state prosecutor). He served for about a year before Virginia's General Assembly elected him as Judge for the seventeenth Circuit in 1836. Allen then moved to Botetourt County where he held his first court.
In December 1840, the Virginia General Assembly elected Judge Allen to the Supreme Court of Appeals. In 1851 his fellow judges elected him as the court's President during another reorganization.
Prelude and American Civil War
After Abraham Lincoln's election in November 1860, Judge Allen called a mass meeting in Botetourt County on December 10, 1860. He presented a resolution that he had drafted extolling Virginia's contributions to the nation's founding and condemning the north for "pharisaical fanaticism" concerning slavery and urged calling a convention to consider secession. The meeting overwhelmingly approved his document (except for 2 unnamed dissenters), which came to be called the "Botetourt Resolutions."
Allen's sons (and his eldest daughter's widower husband) volunteered for Confederate army service. While the three eldest Allen boys and their brother in law William Watts survived the conflict (and Henry Clay Allen survived the Battle of Gettysburg), the year 1862 proved disastrous for the family. Capt. John J. Allen St. lost an arm as a result of a wound sustained at the Battle of Malvern Hill, Master sergeant George Jackson Allen died in the Seven Days' Battle and Private Baldwin Allen died of typhoid fever after his artillery unit was assigned to Tennessee.
Death and legacy
Allen resigned from the Court in April 1865 and retired to private life at his home, Beaverdam, near Fincastle, the Botetourt County seat. He was buried at Lauderdale Cemetery in Botetourt County after dying in 1871. Nearly three years later, his eldest son, John J. Allen Jr., won election as Botetourt County's delegate. Though he served but a single term, his middle brother Henry Clay Allen began the first of his four terms representing the family's ancestral Shenandoah County in 1875. John James Allen would then follow his father's path and become a circuit judge in Botetourt County for the rest of his career, and H.C. Allen would become the body's speaker in 1877-1879 before becoming a judge in Shenandoah county. His grandson William Ross Allen also served as a state delegate.

Community Legal Assistance Society (CLAS), which previously went by the name Vancouver Community Legal Assistance Society (V-CLAS), is a non-governmental organization in British Columbia, Canada which provides legal services to low- and moderate-income persons in the areas of mental health law, human rights law, and poverty law. Founded in 1971, CLAS is often referred to as Canada's first community law office. CLAS operates a BC Human Rights Clinic, a Mental Health Law Program, and a poverty law-focused Community Law Program.
History
CLAS was founded by future British Columbia premier Mike Harcourt. In the summer of 1971, it opened its first office at 527 East Broadway in Vancouver. Its staff have been considered leaders in the field of disability and human rights law and the Supreme Court of Canada has noted how frequently CLAS represents accused persons with mental health issues. CLAS is billed as seeking to advance access to justice through the use of innovative legal tools. For instance, when a lawyer at CLAS, former MLA, Ian Waddell launched the first successful consumer class action in Canada.

Relative valuation also called valuation using multiples is the notion of comparing the price of an asset to the market value of similar assets. In the field of securities investment, the idea has led to important practical tools, which could presumably spot pricing anomalies. These tools have subsequently become instrumental in enabling analysts and investors to make vital decisions on asset allocation.
Equities
In equities, the concept separates into two areas—one pertaining to individual equities and the other to indices.
Individual equities
The most common method for individual equities is based on comparing certain financial ratios or multiples, such as the price to book value, price to earnings, EV/EBITDA, etc., of the equity in question to those of its peers. This type of approach, which is popular as a strategic tool in the financial industry, is mainly statistical and based on historical data.
Equity indexes
For an equity index the above fails mainly because it is difficult to group indices into peer groups. Consequently, relative valuation here is generally carried out by comparing a national or industry stock index’s performance to the economic and market fundamentals of the related industry or country.
Those fundamentals may include GDP growth, interest rate and inflation forecasts, as well as earnings growth, among others. This style of comparison is popular among practising economists in their attempt to rationalise the connections between the equity markets and the economy.
National equity index are not fully relevant in this respect due to the proportion of multinational companies listed in most national stock markets.
Bonds
In valuing a bond, the bond in question will be priced relative to a benchmark, usually a Government bond. Here, the "required return" - technically the yield to maturity or YTM - on the bond is determined based on the bond's Credit rating relative to a government security with similar maturity. The better the quality of the bond, the smaller the spread between its YTM and the YTM of the benchmark. See Bond valuation# Relative price approach.

Tokumbo "Tumbo" Abanikanda (pronounced: A-banna-conda) (born December 25, 1986) is a former professional American and Canadian football linebacker. He was signed by the Edmonton Eskimos as a street free agent in 2009. He played college football for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles.
Early years
Abanikanda attended Osborne High School in Marietta, Georgia. Coming out of high school, he was two star recruit. According to Rivals.com, Abanikanda ran a 4.62 forty yard dash, benched 330 pounds, with 20 repetitions. Abanikanda was headed to Illinois until a final push from Southern Miss changed his mind.
College career
In 2008, as a senior at the University of Southern Mississippi, Abanikanda recorded 94 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, three forced fumbles, two sacks, a pass broken up and one interception.
Professional career
After going undrafted in the 2009 NFL Draft, Abanikanda was invited to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie camp, but was not signed.
Following his backup plan, Abanikanda signed with the Edmonton Eskimos on May 26, 2009. After the release of Derrick Doggett on June 10, Abanikanda's main competition for the starting weakside linebacker spot is fellow import rookie Mark Restelli also in his first year with Edmonton. Abanikanda debuted for Edmonton on June 17 in a preseason game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders and recorded three tackles while Restelli had one tackle and an interception. Eskimos head coach Richie Hall has called Abanikanda and Restelli's battle the closest one in camp so far. Hall also stated that he hoped, "one player outperforms the other player" in Edmonton's next preseason game against the BC Lions on June 21." During training camp, his head coach called him "T. A." because he couldn't pronounce his name. Eventually, he was released on June 25, 2009, as a final cut with Restelli winning the job, however he could end up on the Eskimos' practice roster. He was re-signed to the practice roster on June 29, 2009, only to be released again on July 12.
Scouting career
Abanikanda has spent time as a scout for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League.
