The Oregon Court of Appeals is the state intermediate appellate court in the US state of Oregon. Part of the Oregon Judicial Department, it has thirteen judges and is located in Salem. Except for death penalty cases, which are reserved to the Oregon Supreme Court, and tax court cases, it has jurisdiction to hear all civil and criminal appeals from Oregon circuit courts, and to review actions of most state administrative agencies. The 13 judges of the court are chosen by the people in statewide nonpartisan elections to six-year terms, and have as their administrative head a Chief Judge appointed from their number by the Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court.
Appeals court decisions are subject to a petition by an aggrieved party for review by the Oregon Supreme Court. The petition must be made within 35 days of the decision, and the Supreme Court determines by vote of the Justices whether to review the case. The court holds session at the Oregon Supreme Court Building in Salem, with offices in the neighboring Justice Building.
History
Established in 1969, the court originally had five seats before expanding to ten seats in 1977. Also in 1977, the court's jurisdiction was expanded to include almost appeals. Prior to the expansion, it could only hear appeals to criminal, domestic relations, and some juvenile matters, as well as reviews of actions by state agencies. The Oregon Legislature has debated adding additional judgeships in both 2011 and 2012. Three seats were added in 2013 to bring the total to thirteen. The Oregon Court of Appeals is one of the busiest appellate courts in the country, handling between 3,200 and 4,100 cases annually during a recent ten-year period.

Dhuwan (, English: Smoke) is a 1994 Pakistani television series originally aired on Pakistan Television Corporation channel in 1994. The play is based on a story of five friends, who take the challenge to fight against terrorists and drug dealers. The serial is known for its neat outdoor shooting and liberal use of ammunition to convey realism.
Plot
The story of this drama revolves around five young friends, each with a different background, who want to bring a positive change in society in order to serve their country. Azhar (Ashir Azeem) is newly appointed as Assistant superintendent of police. Earlier he had completed his engineering degree but to be able to contribute to the society, he opted for the police job. His first placement is in Quetta, where he finds his old friends: Dawood (Nabeel) who is a medical doctor. Their local friend Naveed also known as Nido (Asal Din Khan) who looks after his father's business. One of their old acquaintance Wajid is a crime reporter in a local newspaper. Naveed and Wajid train with their friend Hameed who is the owner of an arms store.
Azhar was being monitored by an undercover officer Sara (Nazli Nasr) posing as a UN worker. She most likely was providing information to the ministry in Islamabad. Their first meeting was on a flight to Quetta. Azhar is handed over a case of narcotics by the ministry and he is advised to assemble a team to carry out operations which cannot be shared with the local police, to avoid any possible tip-offs to the criminals. These five friends begin to train as a crack squad. They also begin to create a computerized database of National Identity Cards, passports, and vehicle data.

Production
Development
Ashir Azeem wrote the script for Dhuwan during his time at the Civil Services Academy where he met several police personnel. Being inexperienced at writing scripts for television, Azeem initially wrote the story in the form of a novel and later developed it into a formal script on the advice of a television executive. Azeem's work was primarily written in English and PTV's in-house screenwriters had to translate it into an Urdu script. Azeem later revealed that the translated screenplay couldn't completely realise his conceptualisation and he had to rework some parts.
Music
The background score is composed by Farrukh Abid. The serial also features a popular Punjabi song of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, "Kise da yar na vichray (کسے دا یار نہ وچھڑے)".
Reception
The drama serial was praised for its effective use of cinematography in conveying realism, especially for its live action sequences. Its popularity even compelled the Pakistani youth to join up with the police in serving the country.
Trivia
The five letter Urdu word Dhuwan (دھواں) forms an acronym of the names of the five friends in this order: ﺩ for Dawood, ﺡ for Hameed, ﻭ for Wajid, ﺍ for Azhar and ﻥ for Naveed.
Ashir Azeem served in Civil Service of Pakistan as AC Customs.

This is a complete list of Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain for the years 1720–1724. For Acts passed up until 1707 see List of Acts of the Parliament of England and List of Acts of the Parliament of Scotland. See also the List of Acts of the Parliament of Ireland to 1700 and the List of Acts of the Parliament of Ireland, 1701–1800.
For Acts passed from 1801 onwards see List of Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. For Acts of the devolved parliaments and assemblies in the United Kingdom, see the List of Acts of the Scottish Parliament, the List of Acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly, and the List of Acts and Measures of Senedd Cymru; see also the List of Acts of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
The number shown after each Act's title is its chapter number. Acts are cited using this number, preceded by the year(s) of the reign during which the relevant parliamentary session was held; thus the Union with Ireland Act 1800 is cited as "39 & 40 Geo. 3 c. 67", meaning the 67th Act passed during the session that started in the 39th year of the reign of George III and which finished in the 40th year of that reign. Note that the modern convention is to use Arabic numerals in citations (thus "41 Geo. 3" rather than "41 Geo. III"). Acts of the last session of the Parliament of Great Britain and the first session of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are both cited as "41 Geo. 3".
Acts passed by the Parliament of Great Britain did not have a short title; however, some of these Acts have subsequently been given a short title by Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (such as the Short Titles Act 1896).
Before the Acts of Parliament (Commencement) Act 1793 came into force on 8 April 1793, Acts passed by the Parliament of Great Britain were deemed to have come into effect on the first day of the session in which they were passed. Because of this, the years given in the list below may in fact be the year before a particular Act was passed.
1720 (7 Geo. 1 St. 1)
The sixth session of the 5th Parliament of Great Britain, which met from 8 December 1720 until 29 July 1721.

Gutenfürst station is the station of Weischlitz district of Gutenfürst in the German state of Saxony. The station on the Leipzig–Hof railway was opened as early as 1848, but it gained greater importance only after the Second World War. Gutenfürst was divided from 1945 to 1990 between the American and the Soviet occupation zones and later between West Germany and East Germany. Today only local trains stop here.
History
Until the end of the Second World War
The Sächsisch-Bayerische Eisenbahn-Compagnie (Saxon-Bavarian Railway Company) received a concession for the construction of a railway line from Leipzig to Hof at the beginning of the 1840s. The first sections from Leipzig were opened in the first half of the 1840s. Due to the high construction costs on the Crimmitschau–Plauen section, the company became insolvent and was bought by the Saxon state in 1847. At this time work was already under way on the Plauen–Hof section to raise further revenue to pay off the expensive bridge structures as quickly as possible. On 20 November 1848, the Plauen–Hof section was opened together with Gutenfürst station. The entire line was not open until 1851.
The station was at first insignificant and had two platforms and a waiting room to cater to the modest passenger traffic. Nevertheless, in 1877 the station was reclassified from a Haltepunkt (halt point) to a Haltestelle (halt place) and at the same time a massive station building was erected. About 700 m of track, including four sets of points, and a wooden loading ramp were built for the freight traffic, which was now accepted. The facilities were supplemented by a freight shed in 1878. A head and side loading lamp was built around 1900.
The station was reclassified as a station (Bahnhof) in 1905. In the meantime, the facilities included five tracks, one of which was a two-directional overtaking track, an entrance building with a platform, an outside platform accessible via a passenger subway, a freight shed as well as a residence for railway officials. Over time the Werdau−Hof section of the Leipzig–Hof railway in particular developed into one of the most densely trafficked sections in Germany, but traffic in Gutenfürst station was always modest. The station was always low in terms of freight and passenger traffic compared with other Saxon stations. Thus, only 4300 t was handled in 1899 and it was still round 8700 t in 1913. In the same years about 25,000 and 29,000 passengers were handled respectively.
The station survived the Second World War undamaged, but destruction on the Leipzig–Hof railway meant that traffic could only be maintained until April 1945 at the latest.
Border station
Thuringia and parts of Saxony were still occupied by the Americans in April and May 1945, but they withdrew at the beginning of July 1945 to the demarcation line established in the spring of 1945. The Red Army then occupied the territories assigned to Soviet control. Gutenfürst, as the last station before the line of demarcation, had thus become a border station. In the early days there were only irregular trains, mainly carrying returnees, refugees and coal.
From 20 December 1945 onwards, freight trains carrying lignite were regularly running from the central Germany brown coal mining area over the zonal border. At first Mehltheuer station had been designated as a transfer station, because Gutenfürst had no facilities. Trains were only loaded in Gutenfürst after the installation of another track.
Limited travel was possible from the first half of 1947, when passengers were allowed to use a mail train. However, crossing between the zones was continually blocked between 20 October and 1 November 1947, during the Berlin Blockade (June 1948 to May 1949) and in May 1952. Unrestricted interzonal traffic through the Gutenfürst border station was not accepted until 1954. From September 1964 onwards, the volume of traffic increased once again and freight trains to West Berlin also operated through Gutenfürst. Administration of the station was carried out by the Soviet Military Administration until 1952, later by the border police (Deutsche Grenzpolizei) and finally by the Border Troops of the German Democratic Republic.
In the first decades, the border crossing was not rigorously secured, but between 1975 and 1980, Gutenfürst station was fortified. Major projects were the construction of a bridge over all the tracks, a large floodlight system with eight masts and a terminal track for local services within the GDR towards Plauen, which was outside the strictly secured control zone. Overall, the reconstruction cost 16 million marks and some works continued until 1982.
Developments since 1989/90
With the reunification of Germany the importance of the station fell rapidly. In the initial period after the border opening on 9 November 1989, rail services were chronically overloaded, but they returned to normal soon after. No border controls were carried out after 1 July 1990.
In 1990/91, an apprentice workshop was established in the station buildings by Deutsche Reichsbahn. It provided training in the field of communication electronics, an educational qualification that had only recently emerged and partially replaced the skilled worker for automatic machinery (Facharbeiter für Betriebsmess-, Steuerungs- und Regelungstechnik) qualification. Deutsche Bahn invested several million marks here. Later a dormitory was integrated with it. The training was discontinued at the end of the 1990s. As a result, there was basically only one final class that was trained here to be communications electronics technicians in the department of information technology from 1991 to 1995.
The buildings remained largely unchanged. The observation bridge was removed in early 2013 during the electrification of the Reichenbach−Hof section.
Today only local services of the Erfurter Bahn and the Vogtlandbahn stop at the station.

Turbonilla lamna is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
Description
The yellowish white shell has a regularly, broadly elongate conic shape. Its length measures 5.2 mm. The 2½ smooth whorls of the protoconch form a decidedly depressed helicoid spire. Its axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns in the first of which about one-fourth of the side of the spire is immersed. The 8¼ whorls of the teleoconch are well rounded. They are appressed at the summit. They are ornamented by weak, distantly spaced, somewhat protractive axial ribs, which become flattened and decidedly enfeebled near the summit. Of these ribs 20 occur upon the first and 18 upon the remaining turns. The shallow intercostal spaces are about three times as wide as the ribs, crossed by 13 slender incised spiral lines of somewhat varying width. Of these lines the first to fifth, seventh and twelfth are mere incised lines, while the sixth, eighth, tenth, and eleventh are about twice as wide as these, and the ninth and thirteenth are double the width of the last. The space between the summit and the first is as wide as the space between the eighth and ninth, which is doubly as wide as that separating the first five lines,
which are subequally spaced. The spaces between the eighth and ninth, ninth and tenth, tenth and eleventh, and eleventh and twelfth increase steadily in width, the space between the first of this series being about one-half as wide as that separating the last. The suture is moderately constricted. The periphery of the body whorl is angulated. The base of the shell is short, and well rounded. It is marked by the feeble continuations of the axial ribs, which become evanescent before reaching the middle of the base, and 12 feebly incised, slender, wavy, spiral striations, which become successively weaker and closer spaced from the periphery toward the umbilical area. The aperture is subquadrate. The posterior angle is obtuse. The outer lip is thin. The inner lip is slender, slightly twisted, and provided with a very oblique fold a little anterior to its insertion. The parietal wall is glazed with a thin callus.
Distribution
The type specimen was found in the Pacific Ocean off Santa Maria Bay, Baja California peninsula

Liao Chongzhen (; 25 May 1898 – 12 September 1971), also known as Chan Sung Liu, was a Chinese government official and president of the College of Agriculture at Sun Yat-sen University. He witnessed the establishment of the Republic of China and Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionary held meetings at his father's home. Liao's family played an instrumental role in the modernisation of education in China. He was appointed to director of the Department of Sericulture under the Kuomintang (KMT), achieving a great improvement of agriculture through Guangdong province. Many dams. bridges and irrigation canals in Guangdong province were named by him. During his lifetime he was also a prominent member of the Baháʼí Faith doing many translations from Bahá'u'lláh's and 'Abdu'l-Bahá's writings into Chinese.
Birth and family background
Liao Chongzhen was born in Canton (now Guangzhou) on 25 May 1897. He was the fourth of ten children.
His grandfather Liao Xin Tiang 廖莘田 and his elder brother were orphans in the mid 19th century.
They roamed the streets of Guangzhou, where some Christian proselytizers had set up feeding stations for the hordes of suffering humanity displaced by war and misrule of the Manchus.
At age 14, he converted to Christianity. He was self-educated. He became a doctor of Chinese medicine, a Baptist minister fluent in English, and an admirer of democracy.
He had one son, Liao Deshan 廖德山.
Liao Deshan became also a Baptist minister and earned the license of Christian practice as a medical doctor from the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese (the forerunner of the University of Hong Kong) in 1892.
There he met Sun Yat-sen. Notably, of their class of 12 students, he and Sun were the only two who graduated.
Sun Yat-sen played an instrumental role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty and was appointed to serve as Provisional President of the Republic of China, when it was founded in 1912.
When Liao Deshan and Sun Yat-sen returned to Guangzhou, Liao's home became a meeting place for the revolutionaries and Liao became one of the founders of Kuomintang.
Liao Deshan believed in universal suffrage, advocated the equality of the sexes, education of women, unbinding women's feet, and abolishing polygamy.
He, along with Sun and others, went into exile in Japan in 1908, when the Manchus came after them.
In 1890 he found the Pui Ching Middle Schools 培正中學 which is still a thriving institution in Hong Kong and Macau, which insisted on excellence in both Chinese and Math, way ahead of his time. Two Nobel Prize winners in physics were students there.
He, unusual in his time, or any time, actually practiced what he preached.
When he was a young doctor during the 1880s and 1890s, he went from village to village, offering medical care. When the peasants couldn't pay him, they often asked what they could do for him. He asked if they would allow him to unbind their daughters' feet. Quite often, the peasants allowed him; even though it was dangerous to go against age-old customs, because he had saved lives and spared them pain.
When his eldest daughter asked why he was so adamant in unbinding women's feet, he replied: "Because women pass their pains onto their children."
Liao Deshan originated the slogan: 'Save China through education'.
He had one wife, and 10 children. Three sons and seven daughters, none of the girls had bound feet, which was rare during the last days of the Qing dynasty. He was employed at Lingnan University 嶺南大學 as a doctor and physiology professor. in exchange for his services he asked his children to be studying there for free. Then, through his connection with the churches in New England, he managed to have almost all his children (his last daughter reached maturity after the passing of her father so was not able to do further studies) to be university educated.
A family dedicated to education
All Liao Chongzhen's sisters were outstanding people who dedicated their lives to 'Change through education' and all studied at Lingnan University 嶺南大學(Guangzhou 廣州), (the number in parentheses after their name indicates the order of birth):
廖奉獻 (Liao Fengxian) (1) was educated at the College of Wooster and at Wellesley College got a Master in education at Columbia University and was one of the earliest women who went to graduate school. She was instrumental in opening up Chinese universities to women. After she came back to China she served as first dean of the Women's College of Lingnan University.
廖奉恩 (Liao Fengen) (2) was the first Chinese woman who went to Smith College and also got a Master in education from Columbia University. When she returned to Guangzhou she served as Soong Ching-ling (Madame Sun Yat-Sen)'s English secretary; then she served as vice-principal of 廣州執信中學 Zhixin High School in 1924 and principal from 1937. She served also on the board of directors of Lingnan University from 1926. Liao Fengen helped translating Martha Root in her visit to Canton in 1924. On 11 April 1924 she wrote to Martha Root:
"I want to assure you that during your brief visit in Canton you have sown seeds for the Baháʼí Cause which, in due time, will bring forth a thousand folds.
You have certainly given a new impetus to my religious life. I have found in the Baháʼí teachings that something which I have hitherto sought for in vain. I find that it satisfied both the requirements of the intellect and the longings of the heart.
The Baháʼí movement appeals to me in that it is a movement for the doing away of all kinds of prejudice, which is so detrimental to all kinds of thinking both spiritually and intellectually and for the ushering in of the new era of universal brotherhood through the spirit of good will."
廖奉基 (Liao Fengji) (3) after studying at Lingnan University and UK she moved to study her master at Bryn Mawr College in 1918. She was the first Chinese to enter Bryan Mawr. In 1925 she founded 粵華中學 (Yuet Wah College), and she served as its president for over 20 years.
廖奉靈 (Liao Fengling) (6) when was a child was presented by her mother to Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, he stroke her head and said: "You will grow up to do great things for the country."
She studied at the University of Michigan, where she met Martha Root. In 1931, on her way back to China she stopped in Yokohama, Japan, where she met Agnes Alexander, Keith Ransom-Kehler and some Japanese friends. Agnes Alexander recalls:
"While her steamer was in port in Yokohama, Miss Liu came to Tokyo and spent a night with us. It was an especially happy occasion, as it was the evening when we held a Baháʼí meeting and a spiritual unity was made between this Chinese young woman and the Japanese friends".
She was he first Chinese president of Concordia College for women (廣州市協和中學), which in 1937 was ranked by the Ministry of Education as one of the top nine secondary schools in the country and had a 100% rate of students passing the entry examinations to Chinese Universities. In January 1939 she wrote to Martha Root to say she was now in charge of a normal school with 300 students, and that she often thought of Miss Root and her "inspiring personality and of the Cause you are trying to promote and spread throughout the world".
After difficult times during the Cultural Revolution, her life of service in education continued and she served as deputy director of the city department of education. She also served as a member of the municipal Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Standing Committee, vice chairman of the city Democratic Foundation and as president of the Guangzhou Children's Welfare Association. In 1976 was the head of the reform in English teaching in Guangzhou. An award bearing her name has been created in Guangzhou, the 'Liao Fengling award' for outstanding teaching as well a kindergarten bearing her name.
廖奉潔 (Liao Fengjie) (8) also studied at the University of Michigan and worked in Hong Kong and Macau Pui Ching Middle School.
Finally, the youngest sister,
廖奉貞 (Liao Fengzhen) (10) studied at the Sun Yat-Sen University and after her studies founded an orphanage.
Liao Chongzhen had also two brothers,
廖崇聖 (Liao Chongshen) (7) who became a famous journalist and served as editor of Central Daily News, the KMT's official paper and then moved to US, where he worked for Voice of America for the remaining part of his life
廖崇國 (Liao Chongguo) (9) who became a renowned ophthalmologist
and one sister Liao Fengging (5) who died at age 25 in Canton.
Education years
At age 18 Liao Chongzhen attended Lingnan University (Guangzhou) as all his other siblings did. He was a sportsman, he participated in the 2nd and 3rd Far Eastern Games (the precursor of the Asian games) in Shanghai 1915 and Tokyo 1917, in volleyball and track & field, winning a gold medal in volleyball.
In 1919 he sailed from Hong Kong to San Francisco to study agriculture at Cornell University in the United States.
Encounter with the Baháʼí Faith
At Cornell, at age 21, Liao Chongzhen first came in contact with the Baháʼí Faith and it made a deep impression on him. The Baháʼí Faith had a great impact on Liao's life. He was introduced to the Faith by Mirzá Fádl's Mázindárání and Roy Wilhelm on 10 October 1920. In 1921 he became a Baháʼí.
Return to China and first positions
In 1923 he returned to Canton, to work in the mining and forestry bureau. From 1933 he served as head of the Guangdong Bureau for the improvement of sericulture achieving great results. The location of his work was Shunde where he rejuvenated the silk industry. He was also the Guangdong's representative at the First National Congress in Canton 1924.
Martha Root's visits
In 1924 Liao Chongzhen arranged a meeting between the renowned Baháʼí journalist Martha Root and Dr. Sun Yat-sen, in which he served as interpreter. Liao Chongzhen later reported that:
“...Dr. Sun Yat-Sen heard and read about the Baháʼí Faith and also declared that it was highly relevant to the needs of China".
Martha Root, visited Canton again in 1930, and stayed there for a week. Liao Chongzhen and his family arranged for her to encounter Chen Mingshu (governor of Guangdong)
Chen said: "I did not know much about this Baháʼí movement until you sent me a booklet two days ago, but as I read it, I believe Bahá’u’lláh was a Prophet and China has need of a Prophet in these days. Such teachings at their lowest estimate could not harm any nation and at their highest they could do great good in China and in every country. No nation is more fitted to receive these Teachings than China". Liao's family also arranged for her lectures over the Canton radio and lecture at Sun Yatsen University and secondary schools. Three of her translated radio broadcast lectures 'New Universal Language', 'Esperanto As a Universal Language' and 'What is the Baháʼí Movement?' were published in a special two-page-spread supplement of the Canton Municipal Daily News on 23 September 1930. The supplement also featured a photograph of 'Abdu'l-Bahá.
Family life
Liao Chongzhen married Sun Li Shu 孫麗淑 in 1931.
A couple of years later they had their first child, a son, and they called him Da Tong 大同 (alternative spelling Tai Tung). Da Tong was how the Baháʼí Faith was called in China in those days.
This marriage produced four other children: Da Ming 大明, Da Hua 大華, Da Wai 大偉 and Da Wen 大文.
Translation work and further services
When Hand of the Cause of God Keith Ransom-Kehler visited Canton in 1931 she was invited by Liao Fengling to stay in the house of the young couple.
His article, "A Chinese view of the Baháʼí Cause", appeared in Baháʼí World 1932–1934.
In 1933 Liao Chongzhen will start a correspondence with Shoghi Effendi (the Guardian of the Baháʼí Faith) asking how he can best serve the Faith. The Guardian asks him to concentrate his efforts in the translation of the Writings into Chinese.
In few years he will manage to translate 'Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh' (finished translation in 1938), 'The Hidden Words' 大同教隱言經 (published in Canton in 1937), of which he printed 2000 copies and 'Prayers and meditations' (Unpublished).
In one of his letters he writes:
"The Baháʼí Faith is very broad and profound, is the guide for salvation. Its value is infinite. The Baháʼí Faith emphasizes on practicing not on preaching. I truly believe that the Baháʼí Faith is the remedy for the disputes of today's world and the basis of setting up a new world".
On 30 November 1936 he writes to Martha Root about his progress in translating the Writings stating:
"I am looking forward to the day that I can devote all my time into the translation of Baháʼí literature into Chinese. There is much gain in translation and our country needs the Cause so much".
in January, 1936, the Guardian invited the Baháʼí youth of the world to a joint celebration of Naw-Rúz. In demonstration of the international unity amongst Baháʼí youth, 26 regional conferences were organized around the globe on Baháʼí Naw-Rúz 1936.
Conferences occurred in 16 cities in North America and in London, Paris, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Alexandria, Baghdad, Karachi, Poona, Canton and Tokyo.
Liao Chongzhen who, wishing to join the international celebration, announced through the newspapers a meeting at the Asia Hotel. Ten strangers were his guests and have formed the nucleus of a study group.
'The delegates at every conference signed a letter which read as follows: "Dearly beloved Guardian: Today young Baháʼís are celebrating in international conferences the inauguration of another Baháʼí year. In unity with our fellows throughout the world we have joined in a new determination to serve the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh. The thought underlying all our efforts is that, led by your wishes and stimulated by your prayers and trust in us, we may rise to those heights of endeavor to which the example of your own life so clearly directs us. May the seed of Bahá'u'lláh's Word find in our hearts soil which, prepared by service and study, enriched by tests, and continually nourished by His blessings, may attain capacity to produce His fruits. That our lives may bear testimony to the reality of our Faith, becoming thus potent instruments for the shaping of His great civilization, is our deepest hope. To you, our beloved Guardian, and to the members of the Holy Family and friends of the household, we send our tender love and devotion, longing to become more worthy, that we may be in truth your coworkers in the establishment of the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh."
To their message the Guardian cabled in reply: 'Overjoyed, deeply thankful. Appreciate greeting. Loving remembrance Holy Shrine.'
And on 10 August 1937 he writes Martha Root:
"The compliment that you gave me, I am afraid I do not deserve. Bahá'u'lláh is the hope of the world. What else can we do but turn to Him in this wartorn world. As I am quite pressed with time, I try to do a little translation each morning before going to work. My humble contribution can never be compared with what you have done for the Cause".
Liao will continue to be in contact with the Guardian and he will add to one of the letter the picture of himself and his family. The Guardian hung the portrait on the wall in one of the rooms of the Mansion of Bahjí in Akká, Palestine.
The war years
The atmosphere in Canton was intense, due to the expected Japanese invasion. His wife and children subsequently moved to safety to stay with her parents. Liao Chongzhen initially stayed in Canton and in 1938 wrote this moving letter to the Guardian:
"In the midst of bombs and bullets I have completed the translation of the books, for I believe the eventual salvation of the world lies in the realizations of the principles of Bahá’u’lláh and I want to perform my small part in bringing these glad tidings to our people".
Liao Chongzhen moved to Hong Kong in 1938, becoming the first Chinese Baháʼí to live in the British Colony.
In 1940, with the evacuation of Hong Kong, he moved back to the mainland to work for the provincial government of Guilin, which was not under Japanese control.
In 1944 Liao Chongzhen returned to Canton, living in the Shamean area until 1949. In 1949 he again moved to Hong Kong with his family to stay with his sister Liao Fengjie. However, his wife, pregnant with their last child, returned to Canton along with her children.
Liao Chongzhen followed her back to Canton for a few months, but later, as his life was at risk, he returned, with just few items on him, to Hong Kong. There he stayed for three years and then sailed to the United States, living there for the rest of his life.
Final years in United States
While in the United States, Liao Chongzhen continued with his translation work as witnesses the correspondence he had with the Asian Teaching Committee. He also visited the Baháʼí temple at Wilmette and was in contact with Baháʼís in his city. In 1965 his daughter Da Wen was able to move to the United States. The father and daughter who had never met will meet for the first time in New York. All other kids and his wife will not see Liao Chongzhen from 1949 until his death. Da Wen, now 16 years old, will move to stay with her uncle Liao Chongguo in Chicago. Da Wen recalls:
"He told me that he found the Baháʼí explanation of God more humble: God is an unknowable essence, far from human comprehension. He also liked the universality of the Baháʼí Faith, that is inclusive and open. He never forced me to accept the Faith.
He just shared what he believed in. I was just a teen, but I remember. In one of his visits to Chicago, he accompanied me to visit the Baháʼí House of Worship, which is a magnificent piece of architecture and eventually was my inspiration to become an architect."
In popular culture
A film on the life of Liao Chongzhen "Liao Chongzhen – A bright candle of the light of humanity" produced and directed by Vargha Mazlum has been released in April 2015.

In geometry, a pseudosphere is a surface with constant negative Gaussian curvature.
A pseudosphere of radius is a surface in having curvature in each point. Its name comes from the analogy with the sphere of radius , which is a surface of curvature . The term was introduced by Eugenio Beltrami in his 1868 paper on models of hyperbolic geometry.
Tractroid
The same surface can be also described as the result of revolving a tractrix about its asymptote.
For this reason the pseudosphere is also called tractroid. As an example, the (half) pseudosphere (with radius 1) is the surface of revolution of the tractrix parametrized by
It is a singular space (the equator is a singularity), but away from the singularities, it has constant negative Gaussian curvature and therefore is locally isometric to a hyperbolic plane.
The name "pseudosphere" comes about because it has a two-dimensional surface of constant negative Gaussian curvature, just as a sphere has a surface with constant positive Gaussian curvature.
Just as the sphere has at every point a positively curved geometry of a dome the whole pseudosphere has at every point the negatively curved geometry of a saddle.
As early as 1693 Christiaan Huygens found that the volume and the surface area of the pseudosphere are finite, despite the infinite extent of the shape along the axis of rotation. For a given edge radius , the area is just as it is for the sphere, while the volume is and therefore half that of a sphere of that radius.
Universal covering space
The half pseudosphere of curvature −1 is covered by the interior of a horocycle. In the Poincaré half-plane model one convenient choice is the portion of the half-plane with . Then the covering map is periodic in the direction of period 2, and takes the horocycles to the meridians of the pseudosphere and the vertical geodesics to the tractrices that generate the pseudosphere. This mapping is a local isometry, and thus exhibits the portion of the upper half-plane as the universal covering space of the pseudosphere. The precise mapping is
where
is the parametrization of the tractrix above.
Hyperboloid
In some sources that use the hyperboloid model of the hyperbolic plane, the hyperboloid is referred to as a pseudosphere.
This usage of the word is because the hyperboloid can be thought of as a sphere of imaginary radius, embedded in a Minkowski space.
Pseudospherical surfaces
A pseudospherical surface is a generalization of the pseudosphere. A surface which is piecewise smoothly immersed in with constant negative curvature is a pseudospherical surface. The tractroid is the simplest example. Other examples include the Dini's surfaces, breather surfaces, and the Kuen surface.
Relation to solutions to the Sine-Gordon equation
Pseudospherical surfaces can be constructed from solutions to the Sine-Gordon equation. A sketch proof starts with reparametrizing the tractroid with coordinates in which the Gauss–Codazzi equations can be rewritten as the Sine-Gordon equation.
In particular, for the tractroid the Gauss–Codazzi equations are the Sine-Gordon equation applied to the static soliton solution, so the Gauss–Codazzi equations are satisfied. In these coordinates the first and second fundamental forms are written in a way that makes clear the Gaussian curvature is -1 for any solution of the Sine-Gordon equations.
Then any solution to the Sine-Gordon equation can be used to specify a first and second fundamental form which satisfy the Gauss–Codazzi equations. There is then a theorem that any such set of initial data can be used to at least locally specify an immersed surface in .
A few examples of Sine-Gordon solutions and their corresponding surface are given as follows:
Static 1-soliton: pseudosphere
Moving 1-soliton: Dini's surface
Breather solution: Breather surface
2-soliton: Kuen surface

Jacopo de' Barbari, sometimes known or referred to as de'Barbari, de Barberi, de Barbari, Barbaro, Barberino, Barbarigo or Barberigo (c. 1460/70 – before 1516), was an Italian painter, printmaker and miniaturist with a highly individual style. He moved from Venice to Germany in 1500, thus becoming the first Italian Renaissance artist of stature to work in Northern Europe. His few surviving paintings (about twelve) include the first known example of trompe-l'œil since antiquity. His twenty-nine engravings and three very large woodcuts were also highly influential.
Life
His place and date of birth are unknown, but he was described as a Venetian by contemporaries, including Albrecht Dürer ("van Venedig geporn"), and as 'old and weak' in 1511, so dates of between 1450 and 1470 have been proposed. Some believed that he was actually German-born before moving to Italy. However this belief is not conclusive and remains a hypothesis to researchers. Since the earlier date range would have him achieve sudden prominence at the age of nearly fifty, the later date range would seem more likely. He signed most of his engravings with a caduceus, the sign of Mercury, and the Munich Still-Life with Partridge and Gauntlets (right) with this below his name: "Jac.o de barbarj p 1504" on the painted piece of paper. He was probably not of the important Venetian Barbaro family as he was never listed in that family's genealogy.
Nothing is known about his first decades, although Alvise Vivarini has been suggested as his master. He left Venice for Germany in 1500, and thereafter is better documented. There he worked for the Emperor Maximilian I in Nuremberg for a year, then in various places for Frederick the Wise of Saxony in 1503–5, before moving to the court of the Elector Joachim I of Brandenburg for about the years 1506–8. In Germany he was often known as "Jacop Walch", probably from "Wälsch" meaning foreigner, a term especially used for Italians.
He may have returned to Venice with Philip the Handsome of Burgundy, for whom he later worked in the Netherlands. By March 1510 he was working for Philip's successor Archduchess Margaret in Brussels and Mechelen. In January 1511 he fell ill and made a will, and in March the Archduchess gave him a pension for life, on account of his age and weakness ("debilitation et vieillesse"). By 1516 he had died, leaving the Archduchess in possession of twenty-three engraving plates, which since many of his plates were probably engraved on both sides, means some engravings may not have survived.
Work
Map of Venice and other woodcuts
His earliest documented work is his huge (1.345 x 2.818 metres, from six blocks) and impressive woodcut aerial view Map of Venice, for which a privilege was granted to its publisher in 1500, recording that the work had taken three years. This clearly drew on the work of many surveyors, but was a spectacular feat nonetheless, and caused a considerable stir from the first. It was later updated by others to reflect major new building projects in a second state of the print.
Apart from the Map of Venice, he produced two other woodcuts, both of men and satyrs, which were the largest and most impressive figurative woodcuts yet produced, and which established the Italian tradition of fine, large, woodcuts for the following decades. These may have also been produced before 1500; they are clearly strongly influenced by Mantegna.
The "Triumph of Men Over Satyrs," completed in the early 16th century was de' Barbari's other notable multi-block print highlighting various themes related to mythology. This three block print represents the scenes just after a battle - nude men and women walk towards a temple, showing the defeated satyrs bound as prisoners and carried in baskets. Multiple scholars such as Juergen Schulz and David Landau have suggested the connection with another woodcut titled, "Battle Between Satyrs and Men," wherein one of the placards in the later piece directly represents the battle scene from de' Barbari's earlier battle. Connections between the architecture of Venice in the background of the print relates to other paintings at the time such as the "Process in St. Mark's Square," completed by Gentile Bellini in 1496.
Contacts with Dürer
By the time the Map of Venice was published de' Barbari had already left for Germany, where he met Dürer, who he may have already known from Dürer's first Italian trip (a passage in a letter of Dürer's is ambiguous). They discussed human proportion, not obviously one of de' Barbari's strengths, but Dürer was evidently fascinated by what he had to say, though he recorded that de' Barberi had not told him everything he knew:
Twenty years later Dürer tried unsuccessfully to get the Archduchess Margaret, Habsburg Regent of the Netherlands, to give him a manuscript book she had on the subject by de' Barbari, by then dead; the book has not survived.
Dating of artwork
De' Barberi spent a year in Nuremberg, where Dürer lived, in 1500–1, and influences flowed in both directions between him and Dürer for a number of years. None of his engravings are dated, so much of the dating of them depends on resemblances to dated prints by Dürer; this is complicated by uncertainty in some cases as to who was influencing whom. Five of his engravings were in an album of Hartmann Schedel's, which was bound up in December 1504, which gives further evidence as to dating. De' Barberi had probably made some engravings before leaving Italy, but his best engravings (and perhaps all of them) were probably done after his move to Germany in 1500.
Some of his paintings are dated as: 1500, 1503, 1504, 1508. Documents relating to his employment by Maximilian suggest his work was to include illuminating manuscripts, but no work in this medium has been generally attributed to him. His only generally accepted drawing is a Cleopatra in the British Museum, apparently done as a study for an engraving which has not survived.
Engravings
His style is related to his possible master, Alvise Vivarini and to Giovanni Bellini, but has a languorous quality all its own. Apart from Dürer, the influence of Mantegna's technique also appears in what are probably the earlier engravings, done around the turn of the century, with parallel hatching. His engravings are mostly small, showing just a few figures. Truculent satyrs feature in several prints; there are a number of mythological subjects, including two Sacrifices to Priapus.
The earlier prints show figures with "small heads and somewhat shapeless bodies, with sloping shoulders and thick torsos supported by slender legs" — also seen in his paintings. Probably from a middle period come several nudes, the most famous being Apollo and Diana, St Sebastian and the Three Bound Captives. In these his ability to organise the whole composition has greatly improved.
In a final group, the style becomes more Italianate, and the compositions more complex. These have an enigmatic, haunting atmosphere, and a very refined technique. Levenson has proposed that they date from his period in the Netherlands and were influenced by the young Lucas van Leyden. The transmission between the Netherlands and Venice during this time was also prominent as both regions were port cities booming with trade. As a result, not only were economies tied to one another, but art as well.
Paintings
His paintings are mostly portraits or half-length groups of religious figures. He painted a live Sparrowhawk(National Gallery, London), which is probably a fragment of a larger work. The very early still-life of a Still-Life with Partridge and Gauntlets (Alte Pinakothek, Munich) is often called the first small scale trompe-l'œil painting since antiquity; it may well have been the cover or reverse of a portrait (however, a fragmentary panel by another Venetian, Vittorio Carpaccio, has a trompe-l'œil letter-rack of about 1490 on the reverse). In the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin there is a Portrait of a German Man and a religious subject. The Louvre has a religious group, and Philadelphia a pair of figures.
A disputed but famous work, the Portrait of Fra Luca Pacioli is in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples. This shows the Franciscan mathematician and expert on perspective demonstrating geometry at a table on which lie his own Summa and a work by Euclid. He is accompanied by a not clearly identified student. The work is signed "IACO. BAR VIGEN/NIS 1495". Jacopo de' Barbari is attributed a Christ Blessing displayed at the Snite Museum of Art in Notre Dame University, Indiana.

, is a Japanese anime series produced by Toei Animation as the tenth installment in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure metaseries, featuring the eighth generation of Cures. The series is produced by Hiroaki Shibata, who produced Digimon Data Squad and written by Ryōta Yamaguchi, who wrote the scripts for The Vision of Escaflowne. Character designs were handled by Akira Takahashi, who previously did designs for Suite PreCure. The series aired on the ANN network between February 3, 2013, and January 26, 2014, replacing Smile PreCure! in its timeslot, and was succeeded by HappinessCharge PreCure!. An animated film based on the series was released on October 26, 2013. This series' main topics are love, emotions, selflessness, and selfishness, with playing card suits as the Cure's main motifs.
Saban Brands, under its SCG Characters unit, produced an English dub of the series, Glitter Force: Doki Doki, abridging the original forty-nine episodes into thirty. Despite the Glitter Force trademark having moved to Toei in June 2017, Saban Brands was still credited with production of the English dub. The first fifteen episodes began streaming on Netflix from August 18, 2017. The second season, also consisting of fifteen episodes, was released on November 10, 2017. It is the third installment of the series to receive an English dub, and the second and last English adaptation under the Glitter Force brand, and the last anime to be dubbed by Saban Brands. Hasbro and eOne currently owns the rights and names to the program and the brand alongside other Saban Brands entertainment assets as of June 14, 2018.

R v Kapp, 2008 SCC 41 is a Supreme Court of Canada decision that held that a communal fishing license granted exclusively to Aboriginals did not violate Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The case stemmed from an appeal by John Michael Kapp and a group of non-aboriginal commercial fishers who staged a "protest" fishery with the intention of being charged by law enforcement and challenging the constitutional status of an exclusive Aboriginal commercial fishing license.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal based on the understanding that a distinction made on the basis of an enumerated or analogous ground in a government program would not constitute discrimination under Section 15 if the program met a two part test under Section 15(2): (1) it had an ameliorative or remedial purpose, and (2) it targeted a disadvantaged group identified by the enumerated or analogous grounds. In essence, the Court concluded that the prima facie discrimination was permitted because it aimed to improve the situation of a disadvantaged group, as allowed by Section 15(2) of the Charter.
In the Kapp decision, the Court acknowledged the difficulties encountered with the Court's ruling in Law v Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), particularly regarding the utilization of "human dignity" as a legal test. While human dignity is an essential value underlying Section 15, it is an abstract and subjective concept that, even with the guidance provided by the four factors outlined in the Law case, proves to be confusing when applied and poses an additional burden on equality claimants. This ruling reinterprets Law in a manner that does not impose a new and distinct test for discrimination but rather reaffirms the approach to substantive equality established in Andrews v Law Society of British Columbia and subsequent decisions.
The core objective of combating discrimination underlies both Section 15(1) and Section 15(2) of the Charter. Section 15(1) aims to prevent governments from making distinctions based on the enumerated or analogous grounds that perpetuate group disadvantage and prejudice or impose disadvantage based on stereotypes. Section 15(2), on the other hand, enables governments to actively address existing discrimination through affirmative measures.
Background
In 1981, the government of Canada appointed a Commission under the Inquiries Act led by Peter H. Pearse to examine commercial fishing on the Pacific coast and make recommendations related to the condition, management and utilization of these fisheries. Pearse's final report made a number of recommendations including enhancing aboriginal involvement in commercial fishing, and noting the economic disadvantage of Aboriginal peoples due to a prohibition against selling fish.
In 1992, in response to the Pearse Report and the legal case R v Sparrow, the Canadian government established the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy. This strategy aimed to increase Aboriginal participation in Canada's commercial fishery industry. The Aboriginal Fishing Strategy had three primary objectives: respecting the rights recognized in Sparrow, providing a greater role in fisheries management with the associated economic benefits, and minimizing disruption to non-aboriginal fisheries. The Canadian government introduced a pilot program which issued three communal fishing licenses under the Aboriginal Communal Fishing Licences Regulations. The licenses provided the exclusive right for aboriginal band-designated fishers to catch salmon during a specified 24-hour period, and sell those fish.
From 7:00 a.m. on August 19, 1998 to 7:00 a.m. on August 20, 1998 was designated a period where only the designated aboriginal fishers were eligible to fish for sockeye salmon in a region off the British Columbia coast. However, a group of non-aboriginal commercial fishers including John Michael Kapp, organized a "protest" fishery with the intent of being charged by law enforcement and challenging the constitutional status of the exclusive aboriginal license. As a result, Kapp and the other protesters were subsequently charged with fishing during a prohibited time contrary to section 53(1) of the Pacific Fishery Regulations, 1993, an offence under Section 78 of the Fisheries Act.
Provincial Court of British Columbia decision
At his hearing in provincial court, Kapp filed a Notice of Constitutional Question seeking a declaration stating that the communal fishing licenses and the provisions they were issued under violated Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
On July 28, 2003, Judge W.J. Kitchen ruled the communal fishing licenses infringed upon the equality rights protected under Section 15 of the Charter. Furthermore, he determined that these licenses could not be justified under Section 1 of the Charter. As a result, Judge Kitchen decided to stay the charges against Kapp and the other protest fishers.
In reaching this conclusion, Judge Kitchen applied the Law test established in the 1999 case of Law v Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration). He relied on the testimony provided by the non-aboriginal fishers, who stated that they felt the program was offensive and demeaning, and resulted in a loss of human dignity. Additionally, Judge Kitchen found that the government had not made any efforts to assess the economic benefits of the program or the needs of the Aboriginal bands. Based on these findings, he concluded that the program could not be justified under Section 1 of the Charter.
Supreme Court of British Columbia decision
In the appeal to the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Chief Justice Donald Brenner reached a different conclusion than Judge Kitchen regarding the implementation of the Law test. Chief Justice Brenner determined that Judge Kitchen had not properly applied the test, placing undue emphasis on the subjective perceptions of the witnesses rather than considering the objective reality of their situation. As a result of this ruling, Chief Justice Brenner allowed the appeal and entered convictions against the protesters. Kapp and the other protest fishers received a suspended sentence of six months and a $100 fine.
Upon evaluating the Law test, Chief Justice Brenner found that all four aspects of the test weighed against the argument made by Kapp and the other non-aboriginal fishers that they had experienced discrimination. Additionally, Chief Justice Brenner recognized a strong connection between the pilot program and the needs of the Aboriginal bands. He concluded that the program partially served as an ameliorative measure by providing economic opportunities.
British Columbia Court of Appeal decision
Kapp and the other convicted fishers proceeded to appeal Justice Brenner's decision to a five-member panel of the British Columbia Court of Appeal. On June 8, 2006, the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, with each justice providing unique reasons that concurred with the findings of reached by Justice Richard T.A. Low.
Justice Richard T.A. Low concluded that the Section 15 challenge put forth by Kapp and the fishers could not succeed. He reasoned that they had not been denied a legal benefit in a regular or discriminatory manner, instead Low emphasized that the general fisheries management system had provided the fishers with numerous benefits. Justice Low chose not to consider the applicability of Section 25, as he believed it was necessary to establish the existence of a Charter violation before addressing the rights provided under Section 25. However, he expressed reservations about whether Aboriginal commercial fishing rights could be considered under Section 25. Justice Kenneth C. Mackenzie found that the Section 15 challenge could not succeed. He agreed largely with the opinion of Justice Brenner of the British Columbia Supreme Court, noting that the fishers were unable to satisfy the human dignity element of the Law test. Chief Justice Lance Finch concurred with the reasons of Low and Mackenzie on the applicability of Section 15 and agreed that Section 25 was not engaged. Justice Risa Levine concurred with the reasons of Justices Low and Mackenzie, but declined to consider Section 25 on the grounds it was introduced by the intervener parties and the court had to give primary consideration to the arguments of the parties. Justice Pamela A. Kirkpatrick concurred with the reasons of Justices Low and Mackenzie that the Section 15 challenge be dismissed, however, she disagreed with the lower courts conclusion that Section 25 did not provide that a fishing licence is an Aboriginal right. Justice Kirkpatrick argued that the protection afforded by Section 25 through the language "other rights or freedoms" provided that the content of the right was the significant factor (fishing), and not the manner it was acquired (licence).
Supreme Court of Canada
Kapp and the other commercial fishers appealed the decision of the British Columbia Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada which heard the case on December 11, 2007. On June 27, 2008, Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin and Justice Rosalie Abella jointed authored the majority decision, while Justice Michel Bastarache authored a concurring opinion. The court ruled that the communal fishing licence was protected under Section 15(2) of the Charter, and the claims by Kapp and the other commercial fishers could not be successful under Section 15.
Majority decision
The majority opinion, jointly authored by Chief Justice McLachlin and Justice Abella, presented a new interpretation of Section 15(2). They argued that the provision allows for certain distinctions in law to be exempted from full scrutiny under Section 15(1) when those programs have an ameliorative purpose. In the case of Kapp, the court agreed that the communal fishing licenses program made a distinction based on race. However, the court deemed the program constitutional under Section 15(2) of the Charter due to its intent to ameliorate the conditions of a disadvantaged group. This approach represents a change from the previous interpretation of Section 15(2) from the 2000 case Lovelace v Ontario. In Lovelace, the court found that Section 15(2) was "confirmatory" of Section 15(1), meaning a claim against a government program must be assessed under Section 15(1) first.
The majority acknowledged the challenges posed by the Law test, which had utilized human dignity as a legal standard. They recognized that "human dignity" is an abstract and subjective concept, and caused confusion and difficulty in its application. Additionally, the Law test imposed an added burden on claimants seeking equality, rather than the enhancement it was supposed to provide. The Court also noted that the comparator group analysis could resurface in the shape of a formal analysis "focussed on treating likes alike". Consequently, the majority redefined the Law test, removing the "human dignity" element, and placing more focus on whether the claimant experienced discrimination that either perpetuated a disadvantage or stereotype.
Significantly, the majority emphasized the role of Section 15(2) and accorded it greater weight when determining whether a government program is discriminatory under Section 15(1). This interpretation places the onus on the government to demonstrate that their program actively combats discrimination in pursuit of substantive equality. To support the government's argument, it is necessary to establish a legislative goal for the program, rather than relying solely on its actual effects. In essence, the majority found that Section 15(1) and 15(2) work in tandem to promote the concept of substantive equality. Section 15(1) prevents "discriminatory distinctions", while Section 15(2) permits governments to implement programs aimed at assisting disadvantaged groups (e.g., affirmative action) without the risk of challenge under Section 15(1).
The court also acknowledged certain limitations to the application of Section 15(2). They observed that laws intended to "restrict or punish behaviour" would not be safeguarded by Section 15(2). Additionally, for a program to receive protection, the group it targets must be specific and identifiable. Programs with a broad societal impact, such as social assistance, would not meet this criterion.
Regarding Section 25 of the Charter, the majority raised concerns about whether the communal licenses would fall within the scope of this section. They found that only rights of a constitutional nature can benefit from the protection offered by Section 25.
Concurrence
Justice Michel Bastarache provided a concurring opinion, aligning with the majority's conclusion that Kapp and the commercial fishers' appeal could not succeed. He also agreed with the revised test for the application of Section 15. However, Justice Bastarache held the view that the appeal could not be successful because the program in question was protected under Section 25 of the Charter. According to his perspective, in cases where a conflict arises between an equality claim invoking both Section 15 and Section 25, the court must prioritize the consideration of Section 25 before delving into Section 15.
Commentary
In Kapp, the Supreme Court placed considerable importance on Section 15(2) of the Charter, building upon the interpretation established in Lovelace v Ontario. Unlike Lovelace, which required the court to assess whether a government program met the requirements of Section 15(1) before considering protection under Section 15(2), the Kapp decision assigned significant weight to the intentions of the legislature and government in developing affirmative action programs. The focus shifted from emphasizing the impact or outcomes of these programs to prioritizing the goals and objectives set by the government.
The majority in Kapp left room for the potential reconsideration of the test for Section 15(2) of the Charter, acknowledging that while the current test was adequate for the issues at hand, it could be refined in the future. Professor Sophia Moreau from the University of Toronto suggests that this decision may have been influenced by the fact that the claimants in Kapp belonged to a privileged group that is not eligible for protection under Section 15. As a result, future cases before the court involving disadvantaged groups may prompt a different approach. Moreau also argues that the emphasis on the purpose of a government program in the new test for Section 15(2) safeguards well-intentioned programs that may inadvertently have discriminatory effects from facing rigorous scrutiny in court.
Subsequent judicial developments
The Supreme Court further expanded on the newly established formula for Section 15(2) of the Charter in the 2011 case of Alberta (Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development) v. Cunningham. In this case, the claimants argued that the government's ameliorative program was not inclusive enough. However, the court unanimously dismissed the claim and provided additional clarity on the Section 15(2) review process.
In Cunningham, the Court emphasized that a Section 15(2) review involves a comprehensive analysis of "statutory interpretation". This interpretation requires consideration of factors such as the expression of legislative intent, legislative history, and the historical and social context of the affected parties. The court highlighted that it is inevitable for an ameliorative program to exclude certain disadvantaged groups. Moreover, the government is not obligated to meet the new "rational contribution" test, which would require proving that excluding a particular group is essential to achieving the program's objectives.

NASCAR on TNN was the name of a television program that broadcast NASCAR races on The Nashville Network (now Paramount Network).
History
TNN started showing races live in 1991, but it had aired taped coverage of a few Winston Cup races in the 1980s on its American Sports Cavalcade program.
TNN had a self-operating and self-promoting sub-division called TNN Motor Sports, and aired races produced by that division from 1991 to 2000. Under the TNN Motor Sports umbrella, NASCAR series races (including those of the then-Winston Cup Series and Busch Grand National Series, as well as the Craftsman Truck Series) were the most prominently featured, but races of smaller circuits such as the International Motor Sports Association IMSA Sports Car Series, ASA, USAC, the NHRA, and ARCA were also showcased, as was motorcycle and speedboat racing.
In 1995, the motorsports operations were moved into the industrial park located at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, where TNN had purchased controlling interest in World Sports Enterprises, a motorsports production company.
Also by 1995, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, who at the time owned the CBS networks and had an existing relationship with TNN through its Group W division, purchased TNN and its sister network CMT outright to form CBS Cable, along with a short-lived startup network entitled Eye On People (now Investigation Discovery). TNN's ties to CBS allowed it to carry CBS Sports' run overs, which happened during a NASCAR Busch Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in 1999. The network however was a center of controversy for not airing the following year's Busch Series race at the same track after the initial broadcast on CBS rained out, instead showing Tom Sawyer.
Races aired
TNN picked up several of the "second tier" Winston Cup races of the time, whose rights packages were allowed to expire by ESPN. Races at tracks such as Rockingham, Dover, Pocono, Loudon, and Phoenix, were among the events signed.
In general, ESPN abandoned slower, longer, races. 500-mile races at Rockingham, Dover and Pocono were known to last upwards of five hours, requiring a broadcast window as long as six hours to include pre-race and post-race coverage. While the growing ESPN network did not want to dedicate such large windows to what were regarded as second-tier races, TNN's relatively open schedule for Sunday afternoons allowed for the large broadcast windows that these races required. The races at Rockingham and Dover were shortened to 400 miles in 1995 and 1997, respectively, but remained part of the TNN lineup.
TNN began airing NASCAR’s all-star race, then known as The Winston, when it was moved to prime time in 1992. This meant that, at its peak, TNN was home to eight Cup Series broadcasts per season, a quarter of the schedule; this consisted of both races at Rockingham, Dover, and Loudon, Phoenix's lone race, and the June race at Pocono (TBS aired the July race).
In 1998, TNN acquired the one-time rights (from CBS) of the Pepsi 400, the first race at Daytona run at night. Due to Florida wildfires, the race was postponed from July 4 to October. Because of the postponement, CBS, which originally held the rights to the race, declined to cover the October race because of pre-existing coverage agreements, and not wanting to go head-to-head with Game 1 of the World Series on Fox. TNN stepped in and as a result, covered the first race at Daytona held under the lights.
The Winter Heat Series meanwhile, aired during the winter months between November and January (during NASCAR's offseason). The program began during the 1994-1995 winter and ran through the 1998-1999 winter. The races were held at the 3/8 mile Tucson Raceway Park in Tucson, Arizona. TNN originally broadcast the races before ESPN took over.
TNN also provided coverage for many Busch Series races from 1991-2000. The network covered events at smaller facilities such as Lanier, South Boston, Myrtle Beach, and Hickory. Similarly, the network broadcast Craftsman Truck Series events at Topeka, Flemington, Odessa, and Nashville.
Broadcast team
Mike Joy, a pit reporter for CBS at the time, was the lead commentator for TNN’s initial years from 1991 to 1995; when he moved to become the lead commentator at CBS, he was replaced by Eli Gold in 1996. When Gold was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts with his role as radio play-by-play man for the University of Alabama, particularly for Busch Series races in the autumn, RaceDay host Rick Benjamin often filled in.
One constant presence in the TNN broadcast booth was analyst Buddy Baker. Baker worked for the network for all 10 seasons it covered Winston Cup and Busch Series action. Over the course of its decade covering the sport, TNN also utilized other analysts such as Neil Bonnett and Dick Berggren, as well as pit reporters Glenn Jarrett, who like Baker worked for TNN the entire decade, Steve Evans, Brock Yates, Randy Pemberton, and Ralph Sheheen.
Bonnett was TNN's lead analyst from 1991-93 and hosted the racing highlight show Winners for the network until his tragic death in a practice crash prior to the 1994 Daytona 500.
In addition to its regular analysts, TNN provided the launching pad for future broadcast mainstays Darrell Waltrip, Larry McReynolds, and Phil Parsons. Waltrip, who remained an active Cup Series driver on Sundays until 2000, cut his teeth as a broadcaster by serving as an analyst for Saturday Busch Series telecasts on TNN starting in 1994. Likewise, McReynolds provided commentary for select Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series races that did not conflict with his crew chief duties for the Winston Cup Series on Sundays. Parsons was the sole analyst for the network's first Winston Cup event in 1991 and would later return for sporadic appearances throughout the remainder of the decade.
TNN also featured a few pit reporters that went on to find success at other networks in the future, such as future ESPN pit reporter and NBC lead commentator Bill Weber, future Fox, NBC, and TNT pit reporter Matt Yocum, ACC sports mainstay Mike Hogewood, and pit reporter Steve Byrnes, who hosted several NASCAR-related programs for Fox and Speed.
For the Busch Series race at Memphis in 2001, there was a mini-TNN reunion as Gold and Jarrett called the race for NBC, with Sheheen in the pits. The race had been postponed a day by rain and thus the normal NBC broadcast team of Allen Bestwick, Benny Parsons, and Wally Dallenbach was unavailable to call the event; they were in Martinsville to call the Old Dominion 500 which was also affected by the rain and postponed.
TNN loses NASCAR (2000)
NASCAR wanted to capitalize on its increased popularity at the start of the 21st century, so the organization decided that future television deals would be centralized; that is, the networks would negotiate with NASCAR directly for a regular schedule of telecasts, as opposed to negotiating with each individual race track. With many tracks now falling under the ownership of either the France-family led International Speedway Corporation or the Bruton Smith led Speedway Motorsports, it was much easier for consolidated television packages to be negotiated. NASCAR wanted to increase the number of races by each partner, and have as many races on broadcast networks as possible, to prevent fans from missing races.
During the final season of the old broadcast arrangement in 2000, NASCAR had races on CBS, TNN, ESPN, ABC, NBC and TBS. ESPN and its parent network ABC broadcast the most races during the 2000 season (18). TNN had the second most (8, plus The Winston All-Star Race), followed by CBS (4, plus the Busch Clash and 125-mile qualifying races for the Daytona 500), TBS (3), and NBC (1).
The first consolidated TV deal was struck on December 15, 1999.
Under the new deal, Fox Sports, FX, NBC and TBS (later moved to TNT) agreed to pay $2.4 billion for a new six-year package, covering the Winston Cup (now NASCAR Cup) Series and Busch (now Xfinity) Series schedules.
Fox and FX would televise the first 16 races of the 2001, 2003 and 2005 seasons and races 2 through 17 of the 2002, 2004 and 2006 seasons. Fox would air the Daytona 500 in the odd-numbered years. All Busch Series races during that part of the season would also be on Fox/FX.
NBC and TNT would televise the final 17 races of the even-numbered years as well as the Daytona 500 and the last 18 races of the odd-numbered years, as well as all Busch Series races held in that time of the year.
With its limited reach in terms of viewers, and with changes being made to the network itself in order to attract younger viewers, TNN couldn't provide the platform or scope that NASCAR wanted for its future television partners. As a result, after nearly 10 years of live coverage, as well as tape delayed coverage on American Sports Cavalcade in the 1980s, TNN's partnership with NASCAR came to a close at the conclusion of the 2000 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season. The network's final broadcast was the Checker Auto Parts/Dura Lube 500 on November 5. TNN's final NASCAR broadcast as The Nashville Network was the 2000 MBNA.com 400 on September 24. It became The National Network the next day, and on the last couple of TNN races, the new logo was in the top right corner, instead of the transparent Nashville Network logo.
Commentators

Ramón María Narváez y Campos, 1st Duke of Valencia (5 August 180023 April 1868) was a Spanish general and statesman who served as Prime Minister on several occasions during the reign of Isabella II. He was also known in Spain as El Espadón de Loja, "The Big Sword of Loja".
Biography
He was born at Loja, Granada, a son of José María de Narváez y Porcel, 1st Count of Cañada Alta, and wife María Ramona de Campos y Mateos. He entered the army at an early age, and saw active service under Francisco Espoz y Mina in Catalonia in 1822.
He was in his sympathies a Conservative, and could not fully support the Radical opposition to Ferdinand VII, whom he served after his restoration. When the king died in 1833, Narváez became one of the Conservative supporters of Isabel II.
He achieved great popularity by his victory over Miguel Gómez Damas, the Carlist general, at the Battle of Majaceite near Arcos de la Frontera, in November 1836. After clearing La Mancha of brigands by a vigorous policy of suppression in 1838 he was appointed captain-general of Old Castile, and commander-in-chief of the army of reserves.
In 1840, for the part he had taken at Seville in the insurrection against Baldomero Espartero, Count of Luchana and the Progresista party, he was compelled to take refuge in France, where, in conjunction with Maria Cristina, he planned the expedition of 1843 which led to Espartero's overthrow.
On 3 May 1844 Narváez became the 26th prime minister, on 1 July 1844 the 102nd Minister of Foreign Affairs until 21 August 1844, and on 18 November 1845 was created field-marshal and Duque de Valencia, but his policy was too reactionary to be tolerated long, and he was compelled to quit office on 12 February 1846. He then held the post of ambassador at Paris, until again called to preside over the council of ministers as the 28th Prime Minister from 16 March 1846 to 4 April 1846 and 105th Minister of Foreign Affairs from 16 March 1846 to 5 April 1846, and again as the 34th Prime Minister and 111th Minister of Foreign Affairs on 4 October 1847; but misunderstandings with Maria Cristina led to his resignation as Minister on 23 October 1847 and as Prime Minister in the following year on 19 October 1849. On the next day, however, he was recalled as the 36th Prime Minister on 20 October 1849, remaining in office until 10 January 1851.
He was the 58th Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower and Sword in 1848.
His ministry succeeded that of General Leopoldo O'Donnell for a short time as 45th Prime Minister between 12 October 1856 and 15 October 1856, and he again returned to power for a few months as 52nd Prime Minister between 16 September 1864 and 19 May 1865. He once more replaced O'Donnell as the 54th Prime Minister on 11 July 1866, and was still in office when he died at Madrid on 22 April/23 April 1868. On his deathbed, he was asked to forgive his enemies. His answer would become infamous, as he stated "I don't need to forgive my enemies — I have had them all shot."
He married French Marie Alexandrine de Tascher, 369th Dame of the Royal Order of Queen Maria Luisa on 22 July 1844.
He was succeeded in his titles by his nephew, son of his older brother José de Narváez y Campos, 2nd Count of Cañada Alta, and wife and cousin Epifania Porcel y Valdivia, José María de Narváez y Porcel (d. 1890), 2nd Duke of Valencia, 1st Marquess of Oquendo, 3rd Count of Cañada Alta and 2nd Viscount of Aliatar, married to Josefa María del Águila y Cevallos (d. 1888), 13th Marchioness of Espeja, daughter of Luis Ramón del Águila y Alvarado, 12th Marquess of Espeja, and wife Josefa Manuela Petra de Cevallos y Alvarez de Faria (daughter of Pedro de Cevallos y Guerra (1759–1838) and wife Josefa Juana Alvarez de Faria y Sánchez-Zarzosa, maternal aunt of Manuel de Godoy), and had issue.

"La danza" (Dance) (1835) is a patter song by Gioachino Rossini, in Tarantella napoletana time, the eighth song of the collection Les soirées musicales (1830–1835). The lyrics are by Count Carlo Pepoli (it), librettist of Vincenzo Bellini's opera I puritani. "La danza" is a stand-alone chamber vocal piece, rather than part of a larger work.
Franz Liszt transcribed it for piano; Frédéric Chopin used the song as inspiration for his Tarantelle in A-flat, Op. 43; and Ottorino Respighi featured it in La Boutique fantasque. "La danza" was loosely the original source of the popular wedding tarantella "C'è la luna mezzo mare" and its English versions "Oh! Ma-Ma!" and "Lazy Mary".

The Galil Jewish–Arab School is a primary school in Israel. Founded in 1998, it is the first Israeli school to have a dedicated joint Jewish–Arab social structure. The school is located in Eshbal, a kibbutz in the Misgav region of the Galilee near the Arab-majority city of Sakhnin in the Northern District.
History
The Galil Jewish–Arab School was established in 1998 by Hand in Hand: Center for Jewish–Arab Education in Israel, an Israeli network for socially-integrated bilingual schools. In 2007, the school had a student body of 200 Jewish and Arab students (Jews, Muslims and Christians) in grades 1 through 6. The school's students live in Sakhnin, Sha’ab, and communities of the Misgav Regional Council, whose populations have expressed support for bilingual and multicultural education.
Educational model
In line with the multiculturalist objectives of Hand in Hand, the Galil Jewish–Arab School maintains an equal number of Arab and Jewish students; each class has two teachers, one Arab and one Jewish, the school has two co-principals, also split between Arab and Jewish.
Hand in Hand's approach to bilingual education aims to create equality, understanding, and coexistence between the Arab and Jewish populations of Israel, who often live segregated from one another due to the historical effects of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Classes at Hand in Hand schools are co-taught by an Arab and Jewish teacher, and consequently integrate student learning in both Arabic and Hebrew. Teachers do not actively translate, providing a strong incentive for students to attain fluency in their non-native language.

On 27 January 2021, it was announced that Malin Stenbäck will return to present the live shows with Arantxa Alvarez. Also, the host duo will be accompanied by comedian Kirsty Armstrong; she would talk more about the events from inside the house. YouTuber Filip Dikmen will take part in the studio shows and give judgments and analyses about the housemates' behavior.
The premiere was held on Monday, 15 February 2021, on Sjuan. Weekly live shows are being shown on Mondays. New studio shows are broadcast from Tuesday to Thursday and classic Big Brother daily shows are shown from Friday to Sunday. There were live streams with multiple camera angles on C More, and there were the best clips continuously published on TV4 Play. Because viewers wanted more content of the house, a show named Bara Huset began airing on Thursday, 18 February 2021, as a test run. This show summarizes the best events from the past day.
For this season, the logo of the show remains the same as last season. The Big Brother house was slightly redecorated, with the confession room remaining the same.
The format of this season remains the same as the previous season. Housemates are allowed to talk about nominations if they want after that week's nominees were reported to the house.
On Thursday, 18 March 2021, one of the hosts, Malin Stenbäck, revealed during the studio show that this was her last show for this season. The reason is that she is also the host of Bachelor Sverige and Bachelorette Sverige, and the recording of these two shows will start soon and the schedule will collide with Big Brother. Arantxa Alvarez continued to host the show as usual.

: For the competition on Day 45, only one place was left for Mergim and Victoria to compete for immunity. For the one who does not become immune, the viewers must decide if that person should remain in the house. Team Mergim won the competition and they were safe for the week. The public would decide Victoria's fate.
: On Day 46, Team Simon won the competition and they were safe for the week.
: In the morning of Day 47, a voting duel took place. The saved housemates should choose one of nominated housemates who would face Victoria in a voting duel. After the housemates voted in the confession room, it was revealed that the housemates chose Alexander. The viewers would have to vote for who they wanted to be allowed to stay in the house; one of them would be evicted on Sunday.
: The saved housemates compete for immunity. The winner, Mergim, won the competition and he had to save one nominated housemate. He chose to save Nardos.
: Victoria was ejected due to repeated violations of the rules and breaches of integrity. The voting duel between Victoria and Alexander has been cancelled. Instead, it is up to the viewers to decide whether Alexander should continue to Nominated or not. It was revealed that the public chose Alexander to remain Nominated.
Week 8
: This week was the Military week. The housemates were split into Generals and Recruits. After Alexander's eviction, the public voted for two housemates to become Generals; they chose Emelie and Nardos. The Generals would be immune for the week. The rest of the housemates were Recruits and were split into teams: Team Pink - Julia, Jaqueline, Simon, and Tanja; Team Yellow - Adrian, Judith, Mergim, and Stephanie; and Team Turquoise - Dennis, Madelene, Joel, and Pedram.
: Team Turquoise won the team challenge on the afternoon of Day 51. Dennis, Madelene, Joel, and Pedram were promoted to Commanders and were safe for the week. However, the viewers voted for Pedram as the housemate who was not up to standard and tough enough, therefore, he was demoted to Recruit but is still safe for the week.
: For the team competition on Day 52, the Recruits were split into three teams: Team Pink - Stephanie & Julia; Team Yellow - Judith & Simon; and Team Green - Jacki & Adrian. Team Green won and were safe for the week.
: On Day 53, Mergim passed the IQ test, therefore, she was saved for the week.
: On Day 55, Jaqueline received the most votes from the public; she was demoted and was once again being recruited.
: On Day 55, Julia left the house voluntarily for personal reasons.
Final Game Phase (Week 9 - Week 14)
Notes
Week 9
: This week is the Time Machine Week. The housemates will move to different ages during the week. During the week, housemates had to compete for different benefits.
: On Day 58, Emelie and Dennis won the ice melting competition and won an extra nomination jointly. They nominated Tanja (in italic).
: Mergim was blocked from competing in the immunity competition by the choice of Pedram, Nardos, Simon, and Tanja. Pedram won the immunity competition and he was immune from nomination this week.
Week 10
: On Day 65, Adrian won the competition by collecting the most number of balloons and he received an extra nomination point in the nomination. Nardos collected the least number of balloons and she received one nomination point for herself.
: On Day 66, each housemate had to block one other housemate from competing in the immunity competition. Adrian blocked Simon, Madelene blocked Dennis, Pedram blocked Joel, Tanja blocked Nardos, Nardos blocked Dennis, Simon blocked Adrian, Dennis blocked Simon, Emelie blocked Adrian, Mergim blocked Dennis, Judith blocked Dennis, and Joel blocked Adrian. Dennis received the most votes, therefore, he was not able to compete in the immunity competition. Adrian won the immunity competition and he was immune from nomination this week.
: Madelene, Nardos, Pedram, and Simon received the same number of nomination points. On Day 68, they were required to vote again. They were called one by one to the confession room to vote for the housemate who they wanted to leave; the person who received the most votes would be the fourth nominee. Because Madelene and Pedram both received the same number of votes, the fourth nominee would be decided by the viewers instead. The housemate who received the least save votes would be nominated. Madelene received more save votes than Pedram, therefore, Pedram became the fourth nominee, alongside Dennis, Emelie, and Mergim.
Week 11
: The housemates were divided into two groups: Big Brothers and Little Brothers. The Little Brothers live inside Little BB, which is inside the task room. The Big Brothers decide the house rules and competitions, and their job is to keep track of the Little Brothers. Big Brothers: Simon, Madelene, Tanja, and Pedram. Little Brothers: Nardos, Adrian, Dennis, Joel, Judith, and Emelie. Adrian and Simon won one extra nomination each in this week's nomination (in italic).
: On Day 73, Joel chose to leave the house for personal reasons.
: On Day 73, the public has decided that only the Little Brothers were available to be nominated, therefore, the Big Brothers received immunity this week.
: Simon was demoted to Little Brother because of his behavior on the night of Day 72.
: Adrian and Pedram received the same number of points during the nomination. Therefore, three Little Brothers (Judith, Madelene, and Nardos) need to make a tough decision on who between the two would be nominated.
Week 12
: Nardos won one extra nomination in this week's nomination (in italic).
: Adrian and Nardos won the immunity competition, but since Adrian was blocked from winning immunity earlier in the day, only Nardos is safe.
Week 13
: After Adrian's eviction, the housemates took part in a vote for a housemate to receive a one nomination point disadvantage. Since Madelene, Nardos, and Pedram all received the same number of votes, a second vote had to be held. Madelene received the most votes, therefore, she automatically received one nomination point.
Week 14
: For the final week, there was an eviction before the finale on Days 93, 94, and 97. All housemates were nominated for eviction. In each of those evictions, the housemate who received the least votes would be evicted.
: The public voted for their winner.

Backoff is a kind of malware that targets point of sale (POS) systems. It is used to steal credit card data from point of sale machines at retail stores. Cybercriminals use Backoff to gather data from credit cards. It is installed via remote desktop type applications where POS systems are configured. It belongs to the POS malware family as it is known to scrape the memory of POS devices.
Operation
Backoff malware injects the malicious stub into the explorer.exe file to gain access to the POS machines and it scrapes the victim's machine memory from running the processes. It searches this memory for leftover credit card data after a payment card has been swiped. Cybercriminals have mutated different variants of Backoff while some of the variants are equipped with keylogging functionality. Some of the Backoff variants have C2 component which helps the malware to upload the victim's personal data, download the malware onto the victim POS machine and to uninstall the malware.
Incidents
Backoff Malware was aggressive and about 16.2% been infected in the third quarter of 2014. The survey by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) states that thousands of businesses have been infected by Backoff POS Malware.
Network security company Damballa records a 57 percent infection increase from Backoff malware during August 2014. Big companies like Home Depot, Target and Dairy Queen suffered from Backoff infection and many more smaller companies may be infected.

Cassation is a minor musical genre related to the serenade and divertimento. In the mid-to-late 18th century, cassations commonly comprised loosely assembled sets of short movements intended for outdoor performance by orchestral or chamber ensembles. The genre was popular in southern German-speaking lands. Other synonymous titles used by German-speaking composers and cataloguers included Cassatio, Cassatione and Kassation. An equivalent Italian term was Cassazione. The genre is occasionally alluded to in the titles of some twentieth-century compositions.
Eighteenth-century genre
Works titled cassation were especially common in southern Germany, Austria and Bohemia in the mid-to-later part of the eighteenth century. Some early works by Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart bear the title cassation; other composers of the classical and pre-classical era who produced cassations include Franz Joseph Aumann, Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf, Michael Haydn, Leopold Hofmann, Antonio Rosetti, Joseph Schmitt, Johannes Sperger and Johann Baptist Wanhal. The Toy Symphony (no known author) was a reduction of an earlier Cassation in G. The Italianized term, cassazione, appears to have been used by Antonio Salieri.
It is hard to discern any substantial formal characteristic that could distinguish cassations from other serenade-like genres, such as the divertimento, notturno, or Finalmusik. It seems likely that the term cassation was used to refer to the intended social function of the music as outdoor entertainment rather than any particular structural features. Breitkopf's thematic catalogues of the time tended to apply titles such as "cassation" and "divertimento" rather interchangeably, as did the composers themselves. Both Mozart and Michael Haydn seem to have used the term only to refer to orchestral pieces, seemingly resembling the Salzburg serenade while generally lacking concerto movements, whereas Joseph Haydn called his Op. 1 and Op. 2 string quartets "cassations". Instrumental and orchestral cassations seem to be stylistically linked to the divertimento and serenade, respectively. By the end of the eighteenth century, the term had fallen out of fashion.
Twentieth century usage
The term was also sporadically adopted in the twentieth century. Malcolm Williamson composed a series of ten mini-operas involving audience participation (especially aimed at children), which he called "cassations". Cassazione is the title of a divertimento-like orchestral piece in a single movement by Jean Sibelius, and of a string sextet by Riccardo Malipiero.
Etymology
The etymology of the musical term is uncertain. Mozart’s cassations and K. 99 open with marches, and the term has been speculatively linked to the Italian word cassa, meaning "drum". Hermann Abert was among those who thought that the term derives from the Italian cassare, meaning "to dismiss", implying a musical farewell, or Abschiedsmusik. The French word casser (to break) was also invoked, based on the notion that the movements could be freely broken up into any order. A more likely derivation, reflecting the outdoor character of the genre, involves a transformation of the Austrian dialectal word gassatim: specifically, gassatim gehen was an expression commonly used by local eighteenth-century musicians to refer to street performance.

Båstad () is a locality and the seat of Båstad Municipality, Scania County, Sweden, with approximately 5,000 permanent residents. It is however one of Sweden's most typical summer resorts. The population is presumably more than twice as large between April and September, and even larger during July. Its municipality follows a similar pattern: some 15,000 permanent residents, but more than 30,000 during July. Some villages within the municipality are almost empty during the winter, but have more than 2,000 "summer guests" during July. Torekov is a good example of this.
Within Sweden, Båstad is well known for tennis. The largest centre court in Sweden is located in the town's centre, and can take more than 5,000 attendants. Several top national players, such as Björn Borg, Mats Wilander and Stefan Edberg, have played tennis in Båstad.
Geography
The town of Båstad is located in a sheltered bay with the Hallandian ridge stretching behind it. The town borders the shore, whereafter the terrain raises until the dense vegetation of the ridge takes over.
History
The first city privileges were granted in the 14th or 15th century, when the area belonged to Denmark. The first certain date is 1513 when it was re-granted. At the time, the name in print was Botstœdœ, which would translate to "Boat (landing) place".
In 1658, the area was conquered by Sweden, and Båstad was given new "special" privileges in 1664, because it was of too insignificant size to receive the full royal charter as one of Sweden's cities. The minor privilege allowed the town to be used for commerce, handicraft and hostelry. The minor privilege was in effect until 1858 when it got proper rights as a merchant town, or köping. It has been the seat of Båstad Municipality since 1971.
Båstad is known for its tennis tournament Swedish Open on the ATP Tour, held each summer since 1948. The tournament boasts the largest number of courts in the country, and has fostered many internationally successful tennis players, such as Magnus Larsson. It attracts some 20,000 visitors and puts the town in a festive mood for a few weeks. Since 2009, the women's WTA tournament, previously held in Stockholm, also is played in Båstad as part of the Swedish Open.
The city is also home of the Troentorp Clog, formerly known as Båstad Clogs. Troentorp Clogs have been handcrafted in Båstad since 1907 and continue to be produced with the original wooden design.
The botanist Carl Adolph Agardh was born in Båstad in 1785.
Sights
The Church of Båstad or Saint Mary's Church is located in central Båstad. It was constructed in the 15th century. It is a Romanesque church, and contains several wall paintings from various centuries; a madonna image; and a Danish altarpiece, among other things.
A few kilometers outside of Båstad there is a large garden called Norrviken Gardens, which was founded by Rudolf Abelin in the 1900. It once had been chosen as the most beautiful park in Sweden, and the second most beautiful in Europe in 2006.

The St. Louis Public Library is a municipal public library system in the city of St. Louis, Missouri. It operates sixteen locations, including the main Central Library location.
History
In 1865, Ira Divoll, the superintendent of the St. Louis Public School system, created a subscription library in the public school library that would later evolve into the St. Louis Public Library. Divoll believed that a library should work in tandem with the public education system and offer citizens an opportunity for self-improvement and culture.
In 1869, Divoll’s subscription library moved to the Board of Education building. The library consisted of 4 staff members who offered reference services 12 hours a day. The library also encouraged children to visit, and had no age restrictions as did most libraries of the day.
Due to rapid growth of the collection, which grew from 1,500 volumes in 1865 to 90,000 volumes by 1893, the library required more space. In 1893, the library moved into a new space on the top floors of the new Board of Education building. Also in 1893, the citizens of St. Louis voted to move the administration of the library to an independent board, supported by a property tax. This vote enabled the library to operate without subscription fees and be open to all St. Louis residents.
The library occupied its space in the Board of Education building until 1909, as the Central Library was being constructed. The Board of Education building wasn’t large enough to accommodate the library's growing collection. It was during this time that the library began its role as a lending library, allowing the public to ‘check out’ and take books home.
In 1901, Andrew Carnegie made a large donation which was used for expansion, including the building which is currently the Central Library. By this time the collection included 90,000 books. By 1938 the collection included 900,000 items, and by 2014, 4.6 million items.
Locations
The St. Louis Public Library operates 17 libraries, including the main Central Library. Branches include Baden, Barr, Buder, Cabanne, Carondelet, Carpenter, Central Express, Charing Cross, Compton, Julia Davis, Divoll, Kingshighway, Machacek, Marketplace, Schlafly, and Walnut Park. In addition to the Central Library building, Barr, Cabanne, Carpenter and Carondelet branch buildings were Carnegie libraries.
Central Library
The Central Library building at 13th and Olive was built in 1912 on a location formerly occupied by the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall and was designed by Cass Gilbert. The main library for the city's public library system has an oval central pavilion surrounded by four light courts. The outer facades of the free-standing building are of lightly rusticated Maine granite. The Olive Street front is disposed like a colossal arcade, with contrasting marble bas-relief panels. A projecting three-bay central block, like a pared-down triumphal arch, provides a monumental entrance. At the rear, the Central Library faces a sunken garden. The interiors feature some light-transmitting glass floors. The ceiling of the Periodicals Room is modified from Michelangelo's ceiling in the Laurentian Library. Renovation and expansion of the building began in 2010 and finished in 2012.

The Europuddle (French: Europuddle, German: Europfütze), is a fountain completed in November 2019, located in the Europaallee area in the city centre of Zürich, Switzerland. Its name is a portmanteau derived from "Europaallee", the residential and commercial area in which it belongs, and "puddle", due to its visual appearance. Unlike a traditional fountain, the Europuddle is contained on only one side by slightly elevated white pavement stone. The tarmacadam surface beneath the water slopes gently towards the elevated pavement, making the body of water visually similar to a puddle.
Construction
The Europuddle is about 10 meters wide and 60 meters long, with a maximum depth of about 20 centimeters. Seven identical water jets at the western edge of the Europuddle create a fountain by jetting water eastward into the puddle.
The jets of water alternate between three states :
off: in the absence of flowing water jets, the Europuddle is transformed into a mirror of water reflecting surrounding buildings.
static: the jets have equal, constant water flow, creating wavelets on the surface of the puddle.
animated: the water jets vary their flow rate, creating animated ripple effects on the water body.

Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Despite a stellar cast, this horror thriller is a dud and a waste of talent. A few minutes at the beginning and the end pique one’s interest and the rest of the story in the middle fails to deliver". A critic from 123telugu wrote that "On the whole, S5-No Exit is an unimpressive thriller because of its poor content and over-the-top performances. Some comedy scenes are okay to enjoy but the rest of the film has nothing to engage audiences". A critic from NTV gave the film a rating of out of 5 stars. A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "S5 No Exit is a solid political thriller made with elements of politics, comedy, action and suspense. It is a small film with good production values. Those who like political thrillers will like this movie".

Mesivta Rabsa Eitz Chaim DiSlutsk (), colloquially known as the Slutsk-Kletsk Yeshivah was an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva in Europe, founded in Slutsk, then part of the Russian Empire, and later moved to Kletsk in the Second Polish Republic, in 1897. The yeshiva was founded by the Ridvaz and famously led by Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer and Rabbi Aharon Kotler.
Slutsk years
The yeshiva was founded in 1897 by Rabbi Yaakov Dovid Willovsky, known as the Ridvaz, who was the rabbi of Slutsk, in an effort to combat the influence of the maskilim in his town. He asked Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel (the Alter of Slabodka), who was the rosh yeshiva of the Slabodka Yeshiva, to send him students to start off the yeshiva. The Alter immediately selected fourteen of his top students to go to Slutsk. Among the group were Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer, who would become the rosh yeshiva; Rabbi Pesach Pruskin; Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel; Rabbi Reuven Katz; Rabbi Alter HaLevi Shmuelevitz; Rabbi Yosef Konvitz; Rabbi Moshe Yom Tov Wachtfogel; Rabbi Shlomo Yehudah Leib Plutznick; and Rabbi Yitzchak Rubinstein. Over the next five years, the yeshiva grew to become one of the most respected yeshivos in the world. In 1903, with the departure of the Ridvaz from Slutsk, Rabbi Meltzer was appointed rabbi of the city as well.
In 1914, Rabbi Meltzer's daughter, Chanah Perel, married Aharon Kotler, a student of the Alter of Slabodka. Following the wedding, Rabbi Kotler joined Rabbi Meltzer in Slutsk, where he became rebbi (teacher of Torah) of the yeshiva's advanced students. He soon became more involved in the yeshiva and community, assisting his father-in-law in every aspect.
Later that year, World War I broke out, and the yeshiva fell into dire straits financially. Rabbi Meltzer was forced to avert much of focus from teaching to fundraising, leaving Rabbi Kotler as sole rosh yeshiva. The war itself reached Slutsk with bombs blowing up in the streets, yet the yeshiva continued, with Rabbi Kotler giving hours-long shiurim (classes).
Communist revolution
With the Russian Revolution in 1917, all religious institutions were banned and Rabbi Meltzer was arrested many times, leaving Rabbi Kotler as rosh yeshiva once again. Nevertheless, the yeshiva remained in Slutsk for four more years, under Communist rule. Rabbi Kotler then convinced Rabbi Meltzer that the yeshiva should escape to the Polish city of Kletsk, where religion was legal.
Kletsk
In 1921, Rabbi Kotler and 50 students managed to cross over the Russian-Polish border for Kletsk; (Rabbi Meltzer remained in Slutsk, for he felt he couldn't abandon the Jewish community there, as he served as community rabbi as well). The yeshiva settled in a communal property, which they soon outgrew. Rabbi Kotler therefore raised funds for the construction of a new building. The cornerstone was laid in 1927, and despite not having enough money to build the entire building, the construction continued and the yeshiva agreed to accumulate a large debt. In 1929, the building was completed and a festive chanukas habayis (building dedication) was held. Rabbi Meltzer, who had since move to Palestine, came back to Europe for the celebration. The festivity was enormous, with participants filling the surrounding streets of the new yeshiva building. Many donated generously and the debt was soon paid up. At the outbreak of World War II, the yeshiva numbered two hundred sixty students.
World War II
With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Kletsk fell under Soviet rule, and the yeshiva once again faced the threat of an anti-religious communist government. Yet, as they did in Slutsk, the yeshiva remained opened with a complete learning schedule, although many students left for home. However, Rabbi Kotler realized his life was in danger, not solely for running a religious institution, but because of his illegal escape from Russia nineteen years prior, and he therefore escaped to independent Lithuania with plans to only stay there temporarily before escaping the region for good. In Vilnius, Rabbi Kotler met Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzensky, who said that the entire yeshiva should leave Poland and come to Lithuania. Rabbi Kotler sent his students the message. Two nights later, the yeshiva's one hundred and fifty remaining students escaped to Baranovich. From there they traveled by train to Vilnius, where they were reunited with their rosh yeshiva. They then reopened the yeshiva in the village of Jonava on the outskirts of Kaunas. In 1940, the Soviets annexed Lithuania, and afraid, the yeshiva divided into three groups (to make it harder to destroy the entire yeshiva). Rabbi Kotler escaped Europe in 1941 and soon settled in the United States where he became the rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoha.

Delay Doppler coordinates are coordinates typically used in a radar technology-inspired approach to measurement. When used in wireless communication, the Delay Doppler domain mirrors the geometry of the reflectors comprising the wireless channel, which changes far more slowly than the phase changes experienced in the rapidly varying time-frequency domain.
Delay Doppler Signal Representation
In radar theory, the Delay Doppler variables are used to represent and separate moving targets through their delay (range) and Doppler (velocity) characteristics. In communication, the variables represent channels through a superposition of time and frequency shift operations.
Delay Doppler variables can also represent information-carrying signals. The Delay Doppler signal representation, sometimes referred to as the lattice representation of the Heisenberg group, is in a sense a hybrid of the traditional time and frequency representations.
In the time representation, a signal is realized as a function of time (superposition of delta functions); in the frequency representation, signal is realized as a function of frequency (superposition of complex exponentials).
The time and frequency representations are complementary to one another. The mathematical expression of this complementarity is captured by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that a signal cannot be simultaneously localized to any desired degree in time and in frequency. In contrast, in the Delay Doppler representation, one can construct localized pulses which behave as if they are simultaneously localized both in time and in frequency. Such delay-Doppler pulses can be used effectively for Delay Doppler Radar multi-target detection and wireless communication.
In the communication context, a key property of the delay-Doppler representation of the channel is that it does not experience the rapid phase changes present in the traditional time-frequency channel representation used by multi-carrier techniques (see fig. 1). This immunity amounts to slowing down the channel aging process, which has implications for various network functions that require extended latency, such as MU-MIMO[4][9] and CRAN.
Application
When the delay-Doppler channel representation is appropriately incorporated in MU-MIMO architecture, it enables non-trivial network functionality, such as intelligent user pairings and SNR predictions.
These functionalities result in improved spectral utilization and performance for any waveform, thus constituting a universal technology of spectrum multiplying for mobile networks that can operate in both FDD and TDD and with any generation network.
Delay Doppler channel representation utilizes existing uplink reference signals such as SRS & DMRS, along with periodic DL CQI reports to extract robust geometric information and to compute downlink SINR and predict downlink CSI — even on paired FDD spectrum separated by as much as 400MHz. SRS is a key source for channel information. Delay Doppler processing techniques are used to extract robust geometric information about the link to every user, yielding accurate DL SINR estimation as well as precise DL CSI (extrapolated in frequency and predicted in time).
Due to its geometric nature, the slow changing Delay Doppler channel representation opens up the door for functionality disaggregation. Specifically, channel predictions can remain accurate for approximately 50-100 milliseconds (depending on the environment). This enables Cloud RAN and the foundation to improve cell edge performance via intercell coordination. The software can reside in the near-real time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) as an xAPP within the O-RAN architecture and can support hyper-reliable, low latency 5G requirements. Such software can also be deployed on any x86-based platform and can be integrated into existing base stations or deployed next to existing base stations through defined interfaces.
When wireless channels are represented and processed in the delay-Doppler domain, 4G and 5G networks can effectively utilize MU-MIMO in both TDD and FDD, and the channel measurements become more robust to latency (cloud), channel impairments and high mobility.

Pompeius Planta (or Pompejus (von) Planta, 1570–25 February 1621, Rietberg Castle) was a leader of the Spanish-Austrian Party during the so-called Bündner Wirren. His murder by Jörg Jenatsch marked a key Protestant (and anti-Habsburg) uprising in Graubünden during the Thirty Years War.
Life
Pompeius studied in Basel and converted to Catholicism after graduation. As a member of the important Planta family, he soon found himself in high office: in 1614 he was bailiff of the Bishopric of Chur in Fürstenau, as well as Hereditary Marshal. He married Catharina von Salis, the daughter of the Governor-General of the Valtellina. Together with his older brother Rudolf, he led the movement for the Three Leagues to support the Austro-Spanish party. In 1618, his opponents of the Franco-Venetian Party outlawed the Planta brothers and sentenced them to death.
On 25 February 1621, Pompeius was murdered in the presence of his daughter Catherina at Rietberg Castle in Domleschg by a group led by his opponent Jörg Jenatsch. Planta had allegedly hidden with his dog above the fireplace in the tower, where the whining of the dog gave his position away. According to tradition, his heart was removed from his body.
Pompeius Planta is probably the most famous of all the Planta clan, because he and his daughter Catharina (renamed Lucrecia) were immortalised in Conrad Ferdinand Meyer's popular 1876 novel Jürg Jenatsch.

The term six-stroke engine has been applied to a number of alternative internal combustion engine designs that attempt to improve on traditional two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Claimed advantages may include increased fuel efficiency, reduced mechanical complexity, and/or reduced emissions. These engines can be divided into two groups based on the number of pistons that contribute to the six strokes.
In the single-piston designs, the engine captures the heat lost from the four-stroke Otto cycle or Diesel cycle and uses it to drive an additional power and exhaust stroke of the piston in the same cylinder in an attempt to improve fuel efficiency and/or assist with engine cooling. The pistons in this type of six-stroke engine go up and down three times for each injection of fuel. These designs use either steam or air as the working fluid for the additional power stroke.
The designs in which the six strokes are determined by the interactions between two pistons are more diverse. The pistons may be opposed in a single cylinder or may reside in separate cylinders. Usually, one cylinder makes two strokes while the other makes four strokes, giving six piston movements per cycle. The second piston may be used to replace the valve mechanism of a conventional engine, which may reduce mechanical complexity and enable an increased compression ratio by eliminating hotspots that would otherwise limit compression. The second piston may also be used to increase the expansion ratio, decoupling it from the compression ratio. Increasing the expansion ratio in this way can increase thermodynamic efficiency in a similar manner to the Miller or Atkinson cycle.

Single-piston designs
These designs use a single piston per cylinder, like a conventional two- or four-stroke engine. A secondary, nondetonating fluid is injected into the chamber, and the leftover heat from combustion causes it to expand for a second power stroke followed by a second exhaust stroke.
Griffin six-stroke engine
In 1883, the Bath-based engineer Samuel Griffin was an established maker of steam and gas engines. He wished to produce an internal combustion engine, but without paying the licensing costs of the Otto patents. His solution was to develop a "patent slide valve" and a single-acting six-stroke engine using it.
By 1886, Scottish steam locomotive maker Dick, Kerr & Co. saw a future in large oil engines and licensed the Griffin patents. These were double-acting, tandem engines and sold under the name "Kilmarnock". A major market for the Griffin engine was in electricity generation, where they developed a reputation for happily running light for long periods, then suddenly being able to take up a large demand for power. Their large, heavy construction did not suit them to mobile use, but they were capable of burning heavier and cheaper grades of oil.
The key principle of the "Griffin Simplex" was a heated, exhaust-jacketed external vapouriser, into which the fuel was sprayed. The temperature was held around , sufficient to physically vapourise the oil, but not to break it down chemically. This fractional distillation supported the use of heavy oil fuels, the unusable tars and asphalts separating out in the vapouriser.
Hot-bulb ignition was used, which Griffin termed the "catathermic igniter", a small isolated cavity connected to the combustion chamber. The spray injector had an adjustable inner nozzle for the air supply, surrounded by an annular casing for the oil, both oil and air entering at pressure, and being regulated by a governor.
Griffin went out of business in 1923.
Only two known examples of a Griffin six-stroke engine survive. One is in the Anson Engine Museum. The other was built in 1885 and for some years was in the Birmingham Museum of Science and Technology, but in 2007, it returned to Bath and the Museum of Bath at Work.
Dyer six-stroke engine
Leonard Dyer invented a six-stroke, internal combustion, water-injection engine in 1915, very similar to Crower's design (see below). A dozen more similar patents have been issued since.
Dyer's six-stroke engine features:
No cooling system required
Improves a typical engine's fuel consumption
Requires a supply of pure water to act as the medium for the second power stroke.
Extracts the additional power from the expansion of steam.
Bajulaz six-stroke engine
The Bajulaz six-stroke engine is similar to a regular combustion engine in design, but modifications were made to the cylinder head, with two supplementary fixed-capacity chambers: a combustion chamber and an air-preheating chamber above each cylinder. The combustion chamber receives a charge of heated air from the cylinder; the injection of fuel begins an isochoric (constant-volume) burn, which increases the thermal efficiency compared to a burn in the cylinder. The high pressure achieved is then released into the cylinder to work the power or expansion stroke. Meanwhile, a second chamber, which blankets the combustion chamber, has its air content heated to a high degree by heat passing through the cylinder wall. This heated and pressurized air is then used to power an additional stroke of the piston.
The claimed advantages of the engine include reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%, two expansion strokes in six strokes, multiple-fuel usage capability, and a dramatic reduction in pollution.
The Bajulaz six-stroke engine was invented in 1989 by Roger Bajulaz of the Bajulaz S.A. company, based in Geneva, Switzerland; it has and .
The Bajulaz six-stroke engine features claimed are:
Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%
Two expansion (work) strokes in six strokes
Multifuel, including liquefied petroleum gas
Dramatic reduction in air pollution
Costs comparable to those of a four-stroke engine
Velozeta six-stroke engine
In a Velozeta engine, fresh air is injected into the cylinder during the exhaust stroke, which expands by heat and therefore forces the piston down for an additional stroke. The valve overlaps have been removed, and the two additional strokes using air injection provide for better gas scavenging. The engine seems to show 40% reduction in fuel consumption and dramatic reduction in air pollution. Its power-to-weight ratio is slightly less than that of a four-stroke gasoline engine. The engine can run on a variety of fuels, ranging from gasoline and diesel fuel to LPG. An altered engine shows a 65% reduction in carbon monoxide pollution when compared with the four-stroke engine from which it was developed. The engine was developed in 2005 by a team of mechanical engineering students, U Krishnaraj, Boby Sebastian, Arun Nair, and Aaron Joseph George of the College of Engineering, Trivandrum.
NIYKADO six-stroke engine
This engine was developed by Chanayil Cleetus Anil, of Cochin, India, who patented the design in 2012. The name of the engine is taken from the name of his company, NIYKADO Motors. The engine underwent a preliminary round of full-throttle tests at the Automotive Research Association of India, Pune. The inventor claims this engine "is 23% more fuel efficient compared to a conventional four-stroke engine" and it is "very low on pollution".
Anil, a mechanic, developed the NIYKADO engine over the course more than 15 years. The engine was first tested in 2004 and Anil applied for his patent in 2005. He claims that his design produces drastically less pollution and that use in the automotive industry could lead to "emission-less mobility."
Engine functionality:
The different strokes are:
Intake stroke
Compression stroke
Power stroke
Exhaust stroke
Air intake
Air exhaust
The engine has four valves:
Air-fuel intake valve
Air-only intake valve
Combustion exhaust valve
Air-only exhaust valve
Intake stroke: In this stroke, the piston moves from top dead center (TDC) to bottom dead center (BDC). The intake valve opens and the air-fuel mixture enters the cylinder.
Compression stroke: The piston moves from BDC to TDC, and all valves are closed.
Power stroke: The spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture. The piston moves from TDC to BDC, while all valves remain closed.
Exhaust stroke: The piston moves from BDC to TDC while the exhaust valve opens, allowing exhaust gases to exit the cylinder.
Air intake stroke: The air-only intake valve opens while the piston moves from TDC to BDC, pulling fresh air from the atmosphere into the cylinder. This air mixes with any leftover exhaust or unburnt fuel, while cooling the inside of the cylinder.
Air exhaust stroke: The air exhaust valve opens while the piston moves from BDC to TDC. The fresh air and most of the leftover fuel and exhaust leave the cylinder. Anil claims that this creates a fresher atmosphere inside the cylinder before the next air-fuel intake stroke, helps the engine to burn almost 100% of the air-fuel mixture, and reduces harmful emissions (including a 98% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions).
Crower six-stroke engine
In a six-stroke engine prototyped in the United States by Bruce Crower, water is injected into the cylinder after the exhaust stroke and is instantly turned to steam, which expands and forces the piston down for an additional power stroke. Thus, waste heat that requires an air or water cooling system to discharge in most engines is captured and put to use driving the piston. Crower estimated that his design would reduce fuel consumption by 40% by generating the same power output at a lower rotational speed. The weight associated with a cooling system could be eliminated, but that would be balanced by a need for a water tank in addition to the normal fuel tank.
The Crower six-stroke engine was an experimental design that attracted media attention in 2006 because of an interview given by the 75-year-old American inventor, who has applied for a patent on his design. That patent application was subsequently abandoned.
Opposed-piston designs
These designs use two pistons per cylinder operating at different rates, with combustion occurring between the pistons.
Beare head
This design was developed by Malcolm Beare of Australia. The technology combines a four-stroke engine bottom end with an opposed piston in the cylinder head working at half the cyclical rate of the bottom piston. Functionally, the second piston replaces the valve mechanism of a conventional engine. Claimed benefits include a 9% increase in power, and improved thermodynamic efficiency through an increased compression ratio enabled by the elimination of the hot exhaust valve.
M4+2
The idea was developed at the Silesian University of Technology, Poland, under the leadership of EngD Adam Ciesiołkiewicz. It was granted patent nr 195052 by the Polish Patent Office.
The M4+2 engines have much in common with the Beare-head engines, combining two opposed pistons in the same cylinder. One piston works at half the cyclical rate of the other, but while the main function of the second piston in a Beare-head engine is to replace the valve mechanism of a conventional four-stroke engine, the M4+2 takes the principle one step further. The double-piston combustion engine's work is based on the cooperation of both modules. The air load change takes place in the two-stroke section of the engine. The piston of the four-stroke section is an air load exchange aiding system, working as a system of valves. The cylinder is filled with air or with an air-fuel mixture. The filling process takes place at overpressure by the slide inlet system. The exhaust gases are removed as in the classical two-stroke engine, by exhaust windows in the cylinder. The fuel is supplied into the cylinder by a fuel-injection system. Ignition is realized by two spark plugs. The effective power output of the double-piston engine is transferred by two crankshafts. The characteristic feature of this engine is an opportunity of continuous change of cylinder capacity and compression rate during engine work by changing the piston's location. The mechanical and thermodynamical models were meant for double-piston engines, which enable to draw up new theoretical thermodynamic cycle for internal combustion double-pistons engine.
The working principle of the engine is explained in the two- and four-stroke engines article.
Other two-piston designs
Piston-charger engine
In this engine, similar in design to the Beare head, a "piston charger" replaces the valve system. The piston charger charges the main cylinder and simultaneously regulates the inlet and the outlet aperture, leading to no loss of air and fuel in the exhaust. In the main cylinder, combustion takes place every turn as in a two-stroke engine, while lubrication is achieved in the same manner as in a four-stroke. Fuel injection can take place in the piston charger, in the gas-transfer channel or in the combustion chamber. It is also possible to charge two working cylinders with one piston charger. The combination of compact design for the combustion chamber together with no loss of air and fuel is claimed to give the engine more torque, more power and better fuel efficiency. The benefit of fewer moving parts and design is claimed to lead to lower manufacturing costs. The engine is claimed to be suited to alternative fuels since no corrosion or deposits are left on valves.
The six strokes are:
Aspiration
Precompression
Gas transfer
Compression
Ignition
Ejection.
This is an invention of Helmut Kottmann from Germany, while working 25 years at MAHLE GmbH piston and cylinder construction. Kottman's US patents 3921608 and 5755191 are listed below.
Ilmor/Schmitz five-stroke
This design was invented by Belgian engineer Gerhard Schmitz, and has been prototyped by Ilmor Engineering.
These designs use two (or four, six, or eight) cylinders with a conventional Otto four-stroke cycle. An additional piston (in its own cylinder) is shared by the two Otto-cycle cylinders. The exhaust from the Otto-cycle cylinder is directed into the shared cylinder, where it is expanded, generating additional work. This is in some respects similar to the operation of a compound steam engine, with the Otto-cycle cylinders being the high-pressure stage and the shared cylinder the low-pressure stage. The operation of the engine is:
The designers consider this to be a five-stroke design, regarding the simultaneous HP exhaust stroke and LP expansion stroke as a single stroke. This design provides higher fuel efficiency due to the higher overall expansion ratio of the combined cylinders. Expansion ratios comparable to diesel engines can be achieved, while still using gasoline (petrol) fuel. Five-stroke engines allegedly are lighter and have higher power density than diesel engines.
Revetec engines
The controlled combustion engines, designed by Bradley Howell-Smith of Australian firm Revetec Holdings Pty Ltd, use opposed pairs of pistons to drive a pair of counter-rotating, three-lobed cams through bearings. These elements replace the conventional crankshaft and connecting rods, which enable the motion of the pistons to be purely axial, so that most of the power otherwise wasted on lateral motion of the con rods is effectively transferred to the output shaft. This gives six power strokes per revolution of the shaft (spread across a pair of pistons). An independent test measured the brake specific fuel consumption of Revetec's X4v2 prototype gasoline engine at 212g/kW-h (corresponding to an energy efficiency of 38.6%). Any even number of pistons can be used, in boxer or X configurations; the three lobes of the cams can be replaced by any other odd number greater than one; and the geometry of the cams can be changed to suit the needs of the target fuels and applications of the engines. Such variants may have 10 or more strokes per cycle.

The Gorgeous Hussy is a 1936 American period film directed by Clarence Brown, and starring Joan Crawford and Robert Taylor. The screenplay was written by Stephen Morehouse Avery and Ainsworth Morgan, which was based on a 1934 novel by Samuel Hopkins Adams. The supporting cast includes Lionel Barrymore and James Stewart.
The film's plot tells a fictionalized account of President of the United States Andrew Jackson and an innkeeper's daughter, Peggy O'Neal. Peggy O'Neill had a central role in the Petticoat affair that disrupted the cabinet of Andrew Jackson.
Synopsis
In 1823 Washington D.C., Major O'Neal (Gene Lockhart) and his daughter Margaret "Peggy" O'Neal (Joan Crawford) run an inn that is frequented by politicians. Peggy is outspoken for a woman of her time, and when Tennessee senator Andrew Jackson (Lionel Barrymore) visits, she affectionately refers to him as "Uncle Andy."
Peggy is secretly in love with the well-known Virginia senator John Randolph (Melvyn Douglas), but her feelings are seemingly unrequited. When new inn resident "Beau" Timberlake (Robert Taylor) refers to Peggy as a "tavern girl" while drinking, John slaps him in defense of Peggy. Beau soon falls in love with Peggy himself and proposes, but she refuses, because her affections are reserved for John. John spurns her advances, thinking that she is too young and does not really mean it, but begins to have a change of heart. When he finally realizes that they are both in love, however, he learns from Beau that Peggy has finally consented to marry him. Peggy again talks to John about their future, but John again rejects her, thinking that the younger Beau would be a more suitable husband.
On the night of their marriage, "Uncle Andy" hears a commotion in their room, and can't believe that Beau and Peggy are married. Instead of reading their marriage license, Beau shows Peggy his orders. He must leave for a three-month tour of duty aboard the the next day. However, when Constitution returns to Washington, Peggy learns that Beau has died when his men lost track of him.
In 1828, John returns from being the minister to Russia. Peggy is excited to see him, and he tells her how unhappy he was so far from Washington. At the same time, Jackson is elected U.S. president amid a campaign of verbal attacks aimed at his wife Rachel (Beulah Bondi), whom he inadvertently married before her divorce from her first husband was final. Soon after the election, Rachel dies after asking Peggy to look after Jackson. Having been close to Jackson since the beginning, Peggy becomes his official hostess and confidante. Fulfilling Rachel's premonition, this causes many of the Washington political wives to gossip and snub her. At the same time, Jackson comes under political fire from Southerners, such as John Randolph, who feels he has turned against them by his stand on state rights.
At a ball, Peggy's childhood friend, "Rowdy" Dow (James Stewart), wants to fight Southern senator John C. Calhoun (Frank Conroy) because of an insulting remark about Peggy, however, she interrupts and asks him to dance instead. Seeing Rowdy and Peggy dancing, John returns home, but is followed by Peggy, who once again professes her love. This time, John admits his own love and they plan to marry. Soon after telling Jackson what has happened, however, Peggy realizes that differing political views will never allow her and John to be happy, and they part.
A short time later, Secretary of War John Eaton (Franchot Tone), who has loved Peggy for years, proposes. She is fond of him, and believes, like Jackson, that marriage will bring her respectability. A year later, Rowdy comes to visit and tells Peggy that John Randolph has been shot and is near death. She asks Rowdy to take her to see her John, who was shot by Sunderland (Louis Calhern), a Southerner trying to prevent him from revealing to Jackson a proposed violent rebellion. John dies contentedly after Peggy's visit. On the way back to Washington, Peggy and Rowdy's coach is accosted by Sunderland, who demands safe passage to Washington in exchange for not revealing that he has seen them. Rowdy throws him out, but soon Jackson's cabinet members and their wives come to him to demand that Peggy be sent away from Washington. When Peggy arrives at the meeting, Jackson lies by saying she was sent to see John Randolph by him and that Rowdy was asked by John Eaton to accompany her. Jackson then demands the resignation of his entire cabinet, except for Eaton.
Finally, Peggy, who knows that even Jackson's kind lie will not lead to her acceptance in Washington, asks him to send John Eaton as the special envoy to Spain where she knows that they will find contentment.

Reception
Howard Barnes in the New York Herald Tribune noted "In the title role Joan Crawford is handsome, although century-old costumes do not go well with the pronounced modernity of her personality. She makes of Peggy Eaton a straightforward and zealous figure....[A] show that is rich with trappings and accented by moments of moving intensity."
However, writing in The New York Times, film critic Frank Nugent thought there was "not enough hussy" in the performance, and wrote "Miss Crawford's Peggy is a maligned Anne of Green Gables, a persecuted Pollyanna, a dismayed Dolly Dimple."
Beulah Bondi was nominated for an Oscar in the best supporting category and George Folsey received a nomination for cinematography.
Box office
The Gorgeous Hussy was one of Crawford's higher grossing pictures during her years at MGM. At a cost of $1,119,000, it was the highest budgeted film she had made up to that time. The film grossed a total $2,019,000: $1,458,000 from the U.S. and Canada and $561,000 in other markets. It made a profit of $116,000.

Reena Saini Kallat (born 1973) is an Indian visual artist. She currently lives and works in Mumbai.
Early life
Reena Saini Kallat was born in 1973 in Delhi, India. She graduated from Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in 1996 with a B.F.A. in painting. Her practice spanning drawing, photography, sculpture and video engages diverse materials, imbued with conceptual underpinnings. Her works reference history, collective memory and identity. Using the motif of the rubberstamp both as object and imprint, signifying the bureaucratic apparatus, Reena has worked with officially recorded or registered names of people, objects, and monuments that are lost or have disappeared without a trace, only to get listed as anonymous and forgotten statistics. Lines of Control is a recurring element in her works led by the impact that partition had on her family who were displaced from Lahore. In her works made with electrical cables, wires usually serving as conduits of contact that transmit ideas and information, become painstakingly woven entanglements that morph into barbed wires like barriers, while another series where she uses salt as a medium explores the tenuous yet intrinsic relationship between the body and the oceans, highlighting the fragility and unpredictability of existence. To expose the arbitrariness of territorial-skirmishes, Reena frequently draws attention to ecosystems and indigenous vegetation.
Career
She has widely exhibited across the world in venues such as Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), New York; Migros Museum of Contemporary Art, Zurich; Tate Modern, London; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; Kennedy Centre, Washington; Vancouver Art Gallery; Saatchi Gallery, London; SESC Pompeia and SESC Belenzino in São Paulo; Goteborgs Konsthall, Sweden; Helsinki City Art Museum, Finland; National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts; Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul; Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo; Casa Asia, Madrid and Barcelona; ZKM Karlsruhe in Germany; Campbelltown Arts Centre, Sydney; Hangar Bicocca, Milan; Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai; IVAM Museum, Spain; Busan MOMA; Kulturhuset, Stockholm; Kunsthaus Langenthal, Switzerland; Chicago Cultural Centre amongst many others.

The Anbandidi Gospel () consists of four Gospels and dates back to the 9th century. They are currently housed in the National Archives of Georgia, fond #1446, manuscript #107. They have 192 pages, are made of parchment. The dimensions are: 317x237; Asomtavruli; ink – brown, embellished initials – in certain cases with cinnabar. The text is rewritten in some parts; the manuscript is entirely written in Asomtavruli, in two columns; upper borders are cut and the traces of upper quire pagination are lost; ruling lines and dots are very visible.
The manuscript has partially retained its cover panels; traces of older – leather locks are discernible; wooden pegs for fixing leather are preserved.
Due to the extremely large size of the graphemes, the manuscript is known as the Anbandidi (with big alphabet) Gospel in academic circles. The Anbandidi Gospel is one of the several oldest Georgian manuscripts; it is distinguished by its simplicity, exquisiteness, oldness, text version, material and spiritual values. The decoration of the text is formed in a strictly arranged frame, Calvary Cross embedded in the text (96r), decorated initials embellished with cinnabar, accentuated endings.
The Anbandidi Gospel is one of those rare manuscripts containing four Gospels [Opisa (913), Jruchi (936), Parkhali (973), of Tevdore (10th c.) and Gabriel Patarai (10th c.), which are entirely written in Asomtavruli. The hardened, stained, but still well preserved parchment manuscript bears the traces of travel within quite a vast geographical area. The Gospel is a valuable part of our intellectual treasury, occupying one of the significant places in the study of the history of manuscripts.
The manuscript is supplied with 17th-18th cc. records, while a large synodicon, which is ascribable to the late Middle Ages and is still unstudied, is attached at the end.
The Anbandidi Gospel is an achievement of world culture, representing a most important stage in the development of manuscripts. Greatest is its role in the history of translation and development of decorative elements.
In 2015 Anbandidi Gospel was inscribed to UNESCO Memory of the World Register.

The station was opened on 26 March 1885 and was used for regional rail passenger transport up until its closure as a railway station on 15 December 1989; and is now used as a visitor centre. The Blayney-Harden railway line is now used solely for bulk haulage of grain.
History
During the construction of the southern and western railway lines in New South Wales in 1875 a line connecting the two was proposed. The line opened in March 1885. The station opened on March 26, 1885 and closed on December 15, 1989. Repairs were done on the station building in 2007.
Description
There is a station building (type 5, first class brick) built in 1885. The platform face is made of stone. There are two timber overbridges located at and from Sydney's Central railway station situated along the railway line. There is landscaping of the station forecourt adjoining Council park area.
Heritage listing
Young station complex represents a major first class Victorian terminus station on a single line with significant contribution to the townscape. Its steep gable roofs, symmetry and Gothic inspiration make it an architecturally interesting and unique station building. The building form is of a major civic building of local importance, situated on a rise overlooking the town and adjacent to Anderson Park, a large park with mature plantings of deciduous trees. The vista both to and from the building forms an integral part of the townscape and is included in the heritage listing.
The complex represents the importance of early railway construction to the local community by the scale of the building and the grandeur of the vision of railway expansion that was in full flight in the 1880s. The former gatekeepers cottage (now sold), located opposite the station, is in its original form which is contiguous with the station building and enhances the station and environs. The overbridges are good examples of timber structures that once prevalent are now increasingly rare. They were extensively used throughout the State for both major and minor crossings of railway lines.
Young railway station was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.
The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.
This item is assessed as historically rare. This item is assessed as architecturally rare. This item is assessed as socially rare.

Brenda Muntemba (2 July 1970 – 19 March 2019) was a Zambian diplomat who was serving as the Zambian High Commissioner to Kenya at the time of her death. She had also served as the Commissioner of Police, Southern Province and Chief Program Officer at UNESCO in Zambia. She was a school teacher between 1993 and 1995 at Leopards Hill High School and was also a part-time radio presenter for Radio Phoenix and Christian Voice. Muntemba authored and published four motivational books, under Langmead and Baker; OFF DUTY (2011) In Retrospect (2013), Secrets Unveiled (2015) and The Architect (2018).
Education
Owing to the fact that her father, Bradley Chesters Muntemba was a police officer, Muntemba and her two sisters, Hazel and Priscilla, attended many primary schools around Zambia, i.e., Northrise in Ndola, Lotus and Northmead and Jacaranda in Lusaka, Hillside in Chipata, and Livingstone Primary in Livingstone. She, however, attended Roma Girls Secondary School, between 1982–1987 and graduated with a bachelor of arts (French major and Economics minor) from the University of Zambia in July 1993. She then proceeded to obtain a specialised masters in translation (French into English) from Marc Bloch University, Strasbourg, France in 2001. Muntemba also undertook leadership training under the United States government ‘Leadership Exchange Programme,’ and the British Council ‘Making a difference Leadership Programme,’ offered to government leaders. She held a certificate in Copyright and Related rights under the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).
Career
When President Michael Sata, Zambia’s 5th Republican President, was elected into office, he took great steps in putting women in positions of authority. Therefore, Muntemba was appointed Police Commissioner, Southern Province in 2011 alongside five other senior police women commissioners. In 2012, Ms. Muntemba went back to police headquarters as Commissioner Operations. Her stay as Commissioner Operations was short-lived, as she was transferred to Cabinet Office following politically motivated misgivings. During this time, the Cabinet Office assigned her to the Ministry of Education as Zambia’s Chief Programmes Officer for UNESCO (July 2013 – Feb 2015), a position that constantly took her back to her country of language training, France. On 2 February 2015, His Excellency President Edgar Lungu appointed her into foreign service, subsequently retiring her from the Zambia Police Service. Muntemba took her oath of office for the role on the 22nd of April 2015, as President Lungu inducted her as the High Commissioner to Kenya. Her first oath was taken in August 1996 as Assistant Supertintendent, the second in October 2011, as Commissioner of Police, and latterly the third as High Commissioner.
Personal life
Muntemba was born in Kitwe, to parents Bradley Chesters Muntemba and Hilary Mulenga. Bradley was an officer in the Zambia Police Service, having joined as a direct-entry cadet sub inspector in 1967, and died as assistant commissioner of police, commanding officer, central province of Zambia at the age of 48 years old.
Hilary served the community in various capacities. She served twice the Republic of Zambia as a Constitution Review Commissioner during the Mung’omba and Mwanakatwe Constitution Review Commissions, was one of the founding members of the Women’s Lobby Group in Zambia, as well as the Business and Professional Women’s Association.
Muntemba married Reverend Sulanji Andrew Sichilembe on 27 October 2006, at Lusaka’s Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross. She was later ordained as a pastor on 30 December 2012, by Apostle Gift Ntitima at the under Jesus is Life Church, Lusaka. They had a daughter, Lukundo Mirriam Nachilembe.
Death
Muntemba was involved in a head-on road collision on 26 February 2019 and was admitted to hospital where she died on 19 March 2019. She was 48.

The house wren (Troglodytes aedon) is a very small bird of the wren family, Troglodytidae. It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America, and is thus the most widely distributed native bird in the Americas. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range and it is the single most common wren. Its taxonomy is highly complex and some subspecies groups are often considered separate species. The name troglodytes means "hole dweller", and is a reference to the bird's tendency to disappear into crevices when hunting insects or to seek shelter.
Taxonomy
The house wren was formally described in 1809 by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot under the current binomial name Troglodytes aedon. The specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek aēdōn meaning "nightingale". The type locality was designated as New York City by Harry Oberholser in 1934.
There are 32 recognised subspecies. These are sometimes divided into three distinct groups and one or several distinct island-endemic subspecies. Some or all of these are sometimes considered as distinct species.
Northern house wren, Troglodytes (aedon) aedon group – Canada to southern United States
Southern house wren, Troglodytes (aedon) musculus group – southern Mexico, Central and South America
Brown-throated wren, Troglodytes (aedon) brunneicollis group – southern United States and central ranges of Mexico
Cozumel wren, Troglodytes (aedon) beani – Cozumel Island off the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico
It has also been suggested that the taxa from the Lesser Antilles represent one or more separate species, but there is less agreement as to their subdivision, because as far as they have been studied to date, there is little clear biogeographical structure among these populations.
Three additional taxa from more oceanic islands have traditionally been included in the house wren, but are now considered as separate species:
Cobb's wren, Troglodytes cobbi – Falkland Islands (South Atlantic)
Socorro wren, Troglodytes sissonii – Socorro, Revillagigedo Islands
Clarión wren, Troglodytes tanneri – Clarion, Revillagigedo Islands (East Pacific)
Description
Adult house wrens are about long, with a wingspan and weigh about . Among standard measurements, the wing chord is , the tail is , the culmen is and the tarsus is . The subspecies vary greatly, with upper parts ranging from dull greyish-brown to rich rufescent-brown, and the underparts ranging from brown, over buff and pale grey, to pure white. All subspecies have blackish barring to the wings and tail, and some also to the flanks. All subspecies show a faint eye-ring and eyebrow and have a long, thin bill with a blackish upper mandible, and a black-tipped yellowish or pale grey lower mandible. The legs are pinkish or grey. The short tail is typically held cocked.
This bird's rich bubbly song is commonly heard during the nesting season but rarely afterwards. There is marked geographical variation in the song, though somewhat more gradual than in the bird's outward appearance that can strikingly differ, e.g., on neighboring islands in the Caribbean. Birds from far north and south of the species' range nonetheless have songs that differ markedly.
Behavior and ecology
In North America, the house wren is thought to achieve the highest density in floodplain forests in the western great plains where it uses woodpecker holes as nesting sites. In South and Central America it can be found in virtually any habitat and is, as indicated by its common name, often associated with humans. North American birds migrate to the southern United States and Mexico for winter. Most return to the breeding grounds in late April to May, and leave for winter quarters again around September to early October. These birds forage actively in vegetation. They mainly eat insects such as butterfly larvae, beetles and bugs, also spiders and snails. Southern house wrens rarely attend mixed-species feeding flocks.
Breeding
The nesting habits do not seem to differ significantly between the northern and southern house wrens. They usually construct a large cup nest in various sorts of cavities, taking about a week to build. The nest is made from small dry sticks and is usually lined with a variety of different materials. These include: feather, hair, wool, spider cocoons, strips of bark, rootlets, moss, and trash. The male wren finds dry sticks, which he adds to the nest. Once he is done, the female inspects the nest; but if she does not approve of the construction, she will throw any unwanted sticks to the ground. After this process, the female lines the nest. Nest cavities are usually a few meters above ground at most, but occasionally on cliffs as high up as and more at least in southern populations; they may be natural or man-made, often using bird houses.
House wrens are feisty and pugnacious animals considering their tiny size. They are known to occasionally destroy the eggs of other birds nesting in their territory by puncturing the eggshell. Females that sang more songs to conspecifics that were simulated by playback lost fewer eggs to ovicide by other wrens. Female bird song in this species is, therefore, thought to have a function in competition and is not only displayed by males. They are also known to fill up other birds' nests within its territory with sticks to make them unusable.
Depending on the exact population, the house wrens' clutch is usually between two and eight red-blotched cream-white eggs, weighing about each and measuring c. at the widest points. Only the female incubates these, for around 12–19 days, and she will every now and then leave the nest for various reasons. While she is on the nest, the male provisions her with food. The young, which like all passerines hatch almost naked and helpless, take another 15–19 days or so to fledge. They are being fed by both parents, and need plenty of food given their tiny size (see also Bergmann's Rule). As the young near fledging, the parents spend much of their time procuring food for them. Brood loss due to predation was found to be light in the Southern Andean Yungas, with predation of nestling young being almost insignificant. Known predators of house wrens at the nest include cats, rats, opossums, woodpeckers, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, snakes and owls. Adults away from the nests can usually avoid these predators although both small hawks and owls occasionally take free-flying adult wrens.
Migrant populations are nesting within 6 weeks of returning from winter quarters, leaving theoretically time for a second brood. In the subtropical montane forest of northwestern Argentina and similar habitat, the southern house wren breeds in the rainy summer months from late October to late December.
In Washington, D.C. area, house wren parents made significantly more feeding trips per hour in suburban backyards compared to rural backyards. Yet rural nestlings grew at a faster rate than their suburban counterparts. In addition, suburban parents spent less time brooding (sitting on the nest) compared to rural parents. Such results suggest that suburban backyard habitats offer house wrens food for nestlings that is inferior in either quality or quantity to what rural habitats offer. Food items may, for example, be smaller in suburban habitats, and force adults to make more trips to the box.
In South Temperate Argentina, southern house wrens dispersed more frequently between-seasons than within a season, with females dispersing more often than males. Widowed and single males dispersed more frequently than paired males, whilst within-season divorce increased the breeding success of females but not males.
Conservation status
The house wren may have been displaced somewhat in some northern parts of its range by the introduction of the house sparrow, but is still common and widespread throughout most of the Americas. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN, though this would certainly not hold true for several of the island population if they turn out to be true species.
Some taxa, especially from the Lesser Antilles, are rare and highly endangered or possibly already extinct. Several factors seem to have contributed to a varying degree to the decline of these birds, namely habitat destruction, predation by introduced mongooses, and hurricanes:
Martinique house wren, Troglodytes aedon martinicensis) – Martinique, apparently extinct (c.1890)
Guadeloupe house wren, Troglodytes aedon guadeloupensis – Guadeloupe, possibly extinct (late 20th century?)
Saint Lucia house wren, Troglodytes aedon mesoleucus – Saint Lucia, believed extinct by the 1970s, subsequently rediscovered but still precariously rare
The Saint Vincent house wren (Troglodytes aedon musicus) of Saint Vincent was close to extinction in the mid-late 20th century; it has since recovered and today is not uncommon.
As remarked above, these are variously placed in T. musculus if that is considered distinct, or as one or several distinct species.
In culture
John James Audubon illustrates the house wren in Birds of America (published, London 1827–38) as Plate 83. The image was engraved and colored by the Robert Havell, London workshops. The limited 1985 edition by Audubon is available for purchase at the New York History Society.
Troglodytes Aedon was one of the two pets of King Friday the XIII in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Trog, as the King called him, was a wooden wren on a stick, and Trog had his own song. King Friday's other pet was a mockingbird (a wooden mockingbird on a stick) named Mimus Polyglottos (see Neighborhood of Make-Believe).
Brazilian footballer Garrincha earned his nickname from one of the names the house wren has in Rio de Janeiro.

Before You Go is a 2002 comedy film directed by Lewis Gilbert (his final directorial effort). The imperfect lives of three sisters are revealed at their unloved mother's funeral.
Plot
Three sisters, Teresa, Mary and Catherine grew up on The Isle of Man, where their mother Violet has died. Teresa and her husband Frank live there, and they have been looking after her. They summon the other two sisters to return for the funeral.
Teresa and Frank have a local vitamin and supplements business. He is her second husband, and is similar to their uncommunicative father. She constantly reminds her sisters that she and Frank have regularly helped their mother without their aid.
Mary, a doctor, has been having a long-term affair with fellow physician Mike, who is married with children. Catherine hasn’t fared much better, presently dating a Spaniard, Javier.
Mary has been placed by Teresa in their deceased mum’s bedroom. She regularly has visions and flashbacks of her while they are organising and preparing the funeral. Mary is searching for a box in the house that has a few of her things, but Teresa insists that she hasn’t seen it.
Catherine is shown to be flighty and her sisters don’t take her seriously. She lives beyond her means—even though she’s in debt, she constantly buys on credit. She also is always looking for a fix. Catherine periodically pretends to faint etc to get attention. And finally, they never remember her ‘boyfriend’ or ‘fiancé’s’ name because she is constantly changing partners.
Every time the phone rings, all three jump for it, until Frank and Mike turn up. Mary sisters meet Mike and recognise him for a regular spot on the BBC on medicine that he presents. Mary throws herself to her knees, and after having besought him to medicate her, she insists that she is in grief, although earlier in the film she showed indifference to her mother’s death. The next morning, Mary and Mike have a sexual interlude in the woods. Afterwards, she tells him she thinks she’s pregnant, but discovers he had a vasectomy years ago. They head back to the house, where Teresa and Catherine have benn drinking the liquor that they found as they sort out their mother's clothes to give away. They dance and frolic in her fancy dresses.
Frank finally arrives. After meeting Mike, he goes down to the pub with Teresa. She asks if he’s been having an affair, only to find out he wants to quit selling supplements. Instead he wants to buy and run a pub, which angers her. Teresa concludes he hasn’t been upfront their whole relationship.
When Frank and Teresa get back, everyone witnesses Catherine being dumped on the phone by Javier. In tears she says how lonely she is, explaining she gets taken advantage of, having slept with 78 different men to date. Later on, when Frank is trying to rest Catherine tries to get his sympathy, and makes a pass.
The two couples walk into town to the pub. After some whisky, Teresa very loudly embarrasses them all. On their return, she talks about Mary’s teenage pregnancy, which no one else there knew about. Mike and Mary talk, and she reveals that the container she’s seeking contains the birth certificate for the child, Patrick. She’s hoping to make herself accessible in case her now-adult son wanted contact. Mike makes it clear he doesn’t want any more children.
In the middle of the night Violet guides Mary to seek the tin in the garage. Teresa finds her and takes it, as she doesn't want her to see all the contents until the funeral the next day. Upon her insistence for details, it is revealed that Patrick died at 13 falling from a cliff.
Mary had remembered her mother as brutal who, rather than stand by her when she became pregnant at 14, shouted at her and slapped her. She had held that moment in her mind, which had festered over the years until she hated her. But her memory plays tricks on her and it is not until finding the clipping that she remembers after the slap she had embraced and supported her.

Wat Khangkhao () is a historic Buddhist temple on the west side of the Chao Phraya River, opposite Wat Khema Phirataram on the east side, Nonthaburi Province.
Its origins date back to the reign of Trailok (สมเด็จพระบรมไตรโลกนาถ), a 15th-century Ayutthaya era king. Outside ordination hall feature 16 red sema (temple boundary stone) sandstones, these stones presumed built in the time of Ban Phu Luang dynasty period (between 1688–1767).
The front is enshrined a crowned standing stucco Buddha image named "Luang Pho Kao" (หลวงพ่อเก้า). It is characterized by the fingers of the left hand that looked like they only had four fingers, hence the name "Luang Pho Kao" (reverend father nine), referring to its characteristic. The Buddha image is said to be very sacred, therefore, it is worshiped by the general public.
Another singularity of this hall is the presence of a Buddha footprint directly attached to the wall facing the principle image.
The temple name translates to "Bat Temple" as it used to be inhabited by large bat colonies in the past.
Currently, the temple has been almost completely renovated, but still maintains the shady and tranquility as in the past.
The temple has been registered as a national historic site by the Fine Arts Department since 1993.

Applegarth is a historic settlement located north of the River Swale in Yorkshire, England.
It lies about three-quarters of a mile north-east of the village of Marske.
Description
Applegarth now encompasses West Applegarth, High Applegarth, East Applegarth, Low Applegarth and Applegarth Low Wood, and includes the limestone crag of Applegarth Scar. Applegarth bridleway runs along the valley through the settlement, and is still a bridleway despite an attempt to have it downgraded in 2010.
History
The name Applegarth has Norse origins. A mansion stood on the site now occupied by West Applegarth farm, and the land to the north of Applegarth Scar was wild forest, with wolves and fallow deer. Applegarth was part of the manor of Ravensworth which belonged for many years to the FitzHughs. Applegarth Forest was described as picturesque and delightful in 1791.
In 1250, free warren in Applegarth was granted to Henry, son of Ralph de Ravenswath, and at the time of Kirkby's Inquest of 1284, Robert de Applegarth, a bailiff of Richmond, held a carucate of land at Applegarth under Hugh Fitz Henry. The FitzHughs continued to own Applegarth until the sixteenth century, when it passed to William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton. Parr granted Applegarth to a faithful retainer, Thomas son of Geoffrey Middleton, who lived there with his wife and large family. Thomas died in 1565, and the inventory of his effects includes eleven horses, fifteen cows, silver plate, his best suit of yellow satin and two other suits, his coat of steel and a crimson velvet coat of cloth of gold.
When Parr died without heir in 1571, the manor of Ravenswath, including Applegarth, passed to the crown, and King Charles I granted the estate to the citizens of London in 1629, who sold it to two brothers, Jerome and John Robinson of St. Trinians, near Richmond. John resided in Applegarth for some time and died in 1656. His granddaughters sold Applegarth in 1675 to Sir Thomas Wharton, from whom it passed to Elizabeth Byerley in 1764, then to her five cousins. It was subsequently sold to James Hutchinson MD in 1788, then to John Hutton in 1814.
Facilities
Swaleview Caravan Park is close to East Applegarth Farm and near to the River Swale, and dates from the 1960s.

Helena Angelina Doukaina ( 1242 – 1271) was Queen of Sicily as the second wife of King Manfred. Queen Helena was the daughter of Michael II Komnenos Doukas, Despot of Epirus, and Theodora Petraliphaina. Her marriage was an expression of the alliance of her father and the ruler of Sicily against the growing power of the Empire of Nicaea.
Marriage
She was married to Manfred of Sicily 2 June 1259, after the death of his first wife Beatrice of Savoy in 1257 and his own rise to the throne on 10 August 1258. D. J. Geanakoplos notes that this marriage was surprising, considering Manfred's father Frederick II had been in an alliance with John III Vatatzes, the late ruler of the Empire of Nicaea, but "one must consider that conquest of the Byzantine Empire had been a traditional Norman aim for almost a century, and that Manfred was now in a strong enough position in Italy to discard his father's alliance and to look to those who could assist him in his ambitions for Balkan domination." Few details of how this marriage was arranged have come down to us. "It would be of interest," Geanakoplos observes, "to know who took the initiative to promote the marriage alliance; whether Manfred's marriage preceded that of William of Achaea to Anna, another daughter of Michael II; and, most important, whether Manfred's Epirote possessions were secured from Michael II actually as a result of conquest or as a dowry."
Manfred had captured Dyrrhachium and its surrounding area within the following two years. Michael II still had a territorial claim at the city but at the time was preparing to besiege Thessalonica. Helena's dowry included all rights to Dyrrhachium and its surrounding area along with the island of Corfu. Corfu was the only clear territorial gain for Manfred.
Imprisonment
Manfred was killed at the Battle of Benevento on 26 February 1266 while fighting against his rival and successor Charles I of Sicily. Charles captured Helena and imprisoned her. She lived five years later in captivity into the castle of Nocera Inferiore where she died in 1271.
Children
Helena and Manfred had four children:
Beatrix of Sicily (c. 1260 – before 1307); imprisoned in Castel del Monte until released, later married Manfred IV of Saluzzo.
Frederick of Sicily (c. 1259 – last mentioned alive in 1312), first imprisoned in Castel del Monte, and from 1299 onwards in Castel dell'Ovo. He escaped prison and fled to Germany, spending time in several European courts before he died in Egypt.
Henry of Sicily (May 1262 – 31 October 1318), first imprisoned in Castel del Monte, and from 1299 onwards in Castel dell'Ovo. He was the last member of the Hohenstaufen dynasty.
Enzio (Azzolino) of Sicily (c. 1261 – c. 1301), first imprisoned in Castel del Monte, and from 1299 onwards in Castel dell'Ovo.

At , it is the highest peak of the Sredinny Range, the central range of the peninsula. Ichinsky is also among the largest volcanoes in Kamchatka, with a volume of about .
The volcano is capped by a summit caldera, within which rise two lava domes which are the highest peaks. The entire summit area is covered by a substantial ice cap, and several large glaciers descend the flanks of the cone. There is ongoing fumarolic activity within the caldera.
A dozen more dacite and rhyodacite lava domes are found on the flanks of the volcano below the caldera rim. Basaltic and dacitic lava flows extand form the lower flanks, some as long as .
