"(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" is an American country and pop song made famous by B. J. Thomas. It won the 1976 Grammy for Best Country Song, awarded to its songwriters Larry Butler and Chips Moman.
The song debuted at No. 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 on February 1, 1975. The hit song became Thomas' second No. 1 single two months later, on April 26. At ten words, including the parenthetical part "Hey Won't You Play", it became the longest title of any single to top the Hot 100 up to that time. It would hold the record for six years until "Stars on 45" by Stars on 45, whose proper charting title is 41 words long due to a copyright agreement, climbed to the top in the summer of 1981. It also topped Billboard'''s Easy Listening chart, and was the last of his four Number Ones on that chart. It also peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Billboard ranked it as the number 17 song for 1975.
Although Thomas would not have any major country hits for another eight years, this hit song spearheaded his future success as a mainstream artist in that genre.
In 1976, the song was performed by the Muppets on The Muppet Show. In 1979, Larry Butler produced a cover version by Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, for their album Classics. Alvin and the Chipmunks and Butler covered the song for the 1981 album Urban Chipmunk. Butler produced the song again in 1981 on the Sammy Davis Jr. album Closest of Friends''.
"(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" was certified gold for sales of one million units by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Malachy Postlethwayt (5 May 1707–13 September 1767) was a British economist and lexicographer famous for his publication of the commercial dictionary titled The Universal Dictionary of Trade and Commerce in 1757. The dictionary was a translation and adaptation of the Dictionnaire universel du commerce of the French Inspector General of the Manufactures for the King, Jacques Savary des Brûlons.
Postlethwayt also wrote several works defending the slave trade and advocating for its expansion. He was a lobbyist for the Royal African Company and asserted that slave trade was central to British Empire's economic interests. In his first pamphlet, The African Trade, the Great Pillar and Support of the British Plantation (1745), Postlethwayt stated that “our West Indian and African Trades are the most nationally beneficial of any we carry on”. In reaction to those who denounced slave trade, he answered: “Many are prepossessed against this Trade, thinking it a barbarous, inhuman, and unlawful Traffic for a Christian Country to trade in Blacks” but Africans would be better off to “live in a civilized Christian Country” than among “Savages.”
Life
Born 5 May 1707, Postlethwayt was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London on 21 March 1734. In 1743 he secured a position with the Royal Africa Company, and elected to its Court of Assistants (governing board) 17 January 1744. He wrote in the company's defence over the next two years.
Postlethwayt died suddenly on 13 September 1767 aged 60. He was buried in the Old Street churchyard, in Clerkenwell.
Works
Postlethwayt spent 20 years preparing The Universal Dictionary of Trade and Commerce, London, 1751 (3rd edit. London, 1766; 4th edit. London, 1774), a translation, with large additions, from the French work of Jacques Savary des Bruslons. Postlethwayt drew on Savary's work and Richard Cantillion as well as other writers of the day, and clarified how economic theory applied to economic and political issues current then.
Postlethwayt also published:
The African Trade the great Pillar and Support of the British Plantation Trade in America, &c., 1745.
The Natural and Private Advantages of the African Trade considered, &c., 1746.
Britain's Commercial Interest Explained, Vol. I of his Universal Dictionary of Trade and Commerce, 1747.
Considerations on the making of Bar Iron with Pitt or Sea Coal Fire, &c. In a Letter to a Member of the House of Commons, London, 1747.
Considerations on the Revival of the Royal-British Assiento, between his Catholic Majesty and the … South-Sea Company. With an … attempt to unite the African-Trade to that of the South-Sea Company, by Act of Parliament, London, 1749.
The Merchant's Public Counting House, or New Mercantile Institution, &c., London, 1750.
A Short State of the Progress of the French Trade and Navigation, &c., London, 1756.
Great Britain's True System. … To which is prefixed an Introduction relative to the Forming a New Plan of British Politicks with respect to our Foreign Affairs, &c., London, 1757.
Britain's Commercial Interest explained and improved, in a Series of Dissertations on several important Branches of her Trade and Police. … Also … the Advantages which would accrue … from an Union with Ireland, 2 vols., London, 1757; 2nd edit., ‘With … a clear View of the State of our Plantations in America,’ &c., London, 1759.
In Honour to the Administration. The importance of the African Expedition considered, &c., London, 1758.
Trinidadian historian Eric Williams cited the works of Postlethwayt on the slave trade in his seminal work Capitalism and Slavery (1944).
E.A.J. Johnson devotes a chapter in his work Predecessors of Adam Smith: The Growth of British Economic Thought (1937, reprint 1960) to Malachy Postlethwayt, Postlethwayt, the Publicist, p. 185-205.

Luke Keary (born 3 February 1992) is a professional rugby league footballer who plays as a or for the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League (NRL) and Australia and Ireland at international level.
Keary previously played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, with whom he won the 2014 NRL Premiership. Keary won the Clive Churchill Medal in 2018 and the 2018 NRL Grand Final and 2019 NRL Grand Final with the Sydney Roosters.
Early career
Keary was born in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, and is of Irish descent and was raised in the suburb of Raceview and attended St. Mary's Primary School in Ipswich.
He played junior rugby league for Ipswich Brothers. At age 10, Keary moved to Sydney with his family. In Sydney, Keary played junior rugby league for the Kellyville Bushrangers and later Hills District Bulls and attended Oakhill College in Castle Hill. In 2010, Keary represented the Australian Schoolboys rugby union team. That same year he represented the New South Wales Combined Independent Schools (NSWCIS) rugby league team at the Under 18s National Championships. In 2011, Keary returned to Queensland, moving to the Gold Coast where he attended Griffith University and played a season with the Burleigh Bears, playing for their FOGS Colts and Queensland Cup teams. At the end of the year he won Burleigh's FOGS Colts Best Back Award.
Growing up, Keary supported the Brisbane Broncos, idolising Allan Langer who also hails from Ipswich, and stated his ambitions of one day representing them before signing with the South Sydney Rabbitohs ahead of the 2012 NRL season. Keary played for the Rabbitohs' NYC team in 2012, captaining the team and playing 24 games, in which he scored 20 tries. At the end of season, he was named on the bench in the 2012 NYC Team of the Year and won South Sydney's NYC Best and Fairest award.
Playing career
2013
In January 2013, Keary was a member of the Queensland Junior Emerging Origin squad. In Round 12 of the 2013 NRL season, Keary made his NRL debut for the South Sydney Rabbitohs against the Newcastle Knights off the interchange bench in the Rabbitohs 25–18 win at ANZ Stadium. In Round 20 against the Gold Coast Titans, Keary scored his first and second tries NRL career tries off the interchange bench in the Rabbitohs 32–4 win at Cbus Super Stadium.
On 22 August 2013, Keary extended his contract with the Rabbitohs to the end of the 2015 season. Keary finished his debut year in the NRL with him playing in 10 matches and scoring 2 tries for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the 2013 NRL season.
2014
In February, Keary was selected for the Rabbitohs inaugural 2014 Auckland Nines squad. Keary was preparing his breakout year but it was ruined early due to a torn pectoral muscle injury in the Nines. Keary made his return to the Rabbitohs team in Round 17 against the Titans, scoring a try in the Rabbitohs 14-10 shock loss. On 5 October, in the 2014 NRL Grand Final against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Keary played at five-eighth in the 30–6 victory. Keary finished the season with 3 tries from 12 matches.
2015
On 27 January, Keary re-signed with the Rabbitohs on a 1-year contract. On 23 February, he played for the Rabbitohs in the 2015 World Club Challenge match against 2014 Super League Grand Final premiers St. Helens, playing at five-eighth and scoring a try in the Rabbitohs' 39–0 win at Langtree Park. In April, he was selected for the New South Wales City team for the annual City vs Country Origin match, but withdrew due to a foot injury. He finished off the 2015 season having played in 24 matches and scoring 4 tries for the Rabbitohs.
2016
In January, Keary was involved in a confrontation with actor and Rabbitohs club co-owner Russell Crowe in a pre-season bonding session at Crowe's farm in Nana Glen, New South Wales. It was revealed that Keary was furious after Crowe berated him, Cameron McInnes and some of the younger players. When Keary defended them, Crowe told him that he was not worth the money of his contract, sending Keary into a rage, first at Crowe and then at senior Rabbitohs player Sam Burgess for not sticking up for the younger players. Keary was ordered by Crowe to leave the property, which he did, catching a taxi at about 3:00am.
At the start of the year, Keary, who was off contract at season's end, was linked to sign with the Sydney Roosters, the St George Illawarra Dragons who offered him a contract worth $1.2 million over 3-years, or even a shift to Rugby Union for 2017. On 21 June, Keary announced that he signed a 2-year contract with the Roosters starting in 2017. In Round 21 against the Canberra Raiders, Keary would play his last match for the Rabbitohs after he suffered a season ending hamstring injury in the woeful 54–4 loss at ANZ Stadium. Keary finished his last season with the Rabbitohs with him playing in 17 matches and scoring 3 tries in the 2016 NRL season.
2017
In Round 1 of the 2017 NRL season, Keary made his club debut for Roosters against the Gold Coast Titans and sat on a pole as is customary for new rooster players, having a successful match by scoring 2 tries in the 32–18 win at Cbus Super Stadium.
Keary made 26 appearances for Eastern Suburbs and was part of the side which made it all the way to the preliminary final before suffering a shock 16–29 defeat by a depleted North Queensland Cowboys team.
At season's end, Keary contemplated playing in the World Cup. He later said, "I stuck my hand up to play for Ireland in 2017. It didn’t eventuate, I had a few [injuries] at the back end of the year. I’ve always had a connection there since I was a kid. Dad’s family is still over there. I haven’t been over there but you just feel proud whenever he talked about it. It makes me feel good thinking about it."
2018
In 2018, Keary suffered a broken jaw at pre season training and missed over a month of training and trial games.
Keary received the Clive Churchill medal in the 2018 Grand Final where his team the Roosters beat the Melbourne Storm 21–6.
He capped a stellar season by earning selection in the Australian Kangaroos team as starting five-eighth for Test matches against New Zealand and Tonga.
2019
Keary started the 2019 NRL season in good form as the club won 7 of their first 9 games. Keary's good form meant that he was in line to be selected for New South Wales in the 2019 State of Origin series. In Round 11 against Newcastle, Keary was taken from the field with concussion and was subsequently ruled out for 6 weeks.
On 15 August, Keary was spoken about by Brisbane coach Anthony Seibold comparing him to Darius Boyd saying "I had a look through the competition last weekend, there is an Australian No.6 (Keary) playing for a team in Sydney who only made four metres last week and missed five tackles, Not one thing was said in the media about that. His team won and our team won. For whatever reason because Darius only had one run, he has been crucified all week from what I understand. I just think everyone needs to back off on Darius". Keary spoke to the media in response saying "I don’t really care to be honest. It’s a little bit odd. I don’t know him, I’ve never spoke to him. I don’t care what he says. I don’t care what he thinks".
Keary played at five-eighth for the Sydney Roosters in the 2019 NRL Grand Final in which the club won their second consecutive premiership defeating Canberra 14–8 in the decider. It was Keary's third premiership victory as a player.
On 7 October, Keary was named for the Australian side for the upcoming Oceania Cup fixtures.
2020
In round 9 of the 2020 NRL season, Keary scored two tries as the Sydney Roosters defeated North Queensland 42–16 at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
In August 2020, Keary extended his contract with the Sydney Roosters until the end of the 2024 season. In round 18 against Newcastle, he scored two tries as the Sydney Roosters won the match 42–12 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The following week, he scored a further two tries in the club's 34–18 victory over Cronulla-Sutherland.
2021
In round 3 of the 2021 NRL season, Keary suffered a season ending ACL injury in the Sydney Roosters 26–16 loss against archrivals South Sydney.
2022
Keary made 22 appearances for the Sydney Roosters in the 2022 NRL season as the club finished sixth on the table. Keary played in the Sydney Roosters elimination final loss to arch-rivals South Sydney.
2023
In round 5 of the 2023 NRL season, Keary scored two tries for the Sydney Roosters in their 28–20 victory over Parramatta.
In round 8, Keary kicked the winning field goal in the Sydney Roosters 27–26 victory over St. George Illawarra in the ANZAC Day game.
In round 12, Keary scored two tries for the Sydney Roosters in their 24-22 loss against St. George Illawarra at Kogarah Oval.
Keary played 26 matches for the Sydney Roosters in the 2023 NRL season as the club finished 7th on the table and qualified for the finals. Keary played in both of the clubs finals games as they were eliminated in the second week against Melbourne.
Representative career
Keary's State of Origin eligibility was a point of discussion within the media due to his being born and raised, for the first 10 years of his life, in Ipswich, Queensland. He spent the following eight years in Sydney, before returning to Queensland for another two years. In 2014, Keary wrote to then NRL CEO Dave Smith requesting that he be considered a Queenslander for future representative opportunities. The request was denied and the 2012 eligibility rules were upheld.
Keary made his international debut for Australia in 2018 against New Zealand. In 2020 he was selected to make his State of Origin debut for New South Wales in Game I.
Following New South Wales upset loss in Game 1 of the 2020 State of Origin series against Queensland, Keary was cut from the New South Wales squad for Game 2 and was not selected for Game 3 as the Blues suffered a shock 2–1 series defeat, with his "successor" at South Sydney, Cody Walker playing Games 2 & 3 in the 6 jersey.
On 16 October 2022, Keary made his debut for Ireland at the 2021 Rugby League World Cup and earned man of the match honours in their 48–2 victory over Jamaica.

St. Mary's Cathedral is a cathedral church located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is the episcopal see of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Winnipeg. Located at the corner of Saint Mary Avenue and Hargrave Street in downtown Winnipeg, St. Mary's is one of two Roman Catholic cathedrals in the city of Winnipeg; the other, St. Boniface Cathedral, is located across the Red River in the formerly independent city of Saint Boniface.
St. Mary's was originally designed in 1880 by C. Balston Kenway and was updated in 1896 by Samuel Hooper, an English-born stonemason and architect who was later appointed Provincial Architect of Manitoba. The building features elements of Romanesque revival and Germanic architecture.
The Institute for Stained Glass in Canada has documented the stained glass at St. Mary's Cathedral.

Metro is a free weekly newspaper published by the San Jose, California, based Metro Newspapers. Also known as Metro Silicon Valley, as well as Metroactive online, the paper serves the greater Silicon Valley area. In addition to print form, Metro can be downloaded in PDF format for free from the publisher's website. Metro also keeps tabs on local politics and the "chattering" class of San Jose through its weekly column, The Fly.
The newspaper has been published since 1985 and is one of the remaining owner-operated publications in the alternative press. Its principal distribution area encompasses the cities of San Jose, Los Gatos, Campbell, Saratoga, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Milpitas, Mountain View, Los Altos and Palo Alto.
Entertainment and investigative journalism
Metro is largely read for its coverage of the San Jose region's culture and entertainment scene. It publishes an exhaustive arts section, which includes calendar listings, music reviews, critical coverage of the performing and visual arts, as well as movie reviews and information. The newspaper has employed well-regarded film critic Richard von Busack since 1985. Steve Palopoli edited the publication from March 2005 until December 2008 and currently edits Good Times.
In 1986, Metro published the last interview with Don Hoefler, the man credited with naming Silicon Valley. Metro has scooped the daily press on a number of major stories, including the office romance of San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales in 2000 and the Santa Clara County Grand Jury's plans to indict Gonzales in June 2006.
In 1996, Metro's "Public Eye" column scooped Apple's December 20 announcement of a deal between Steve Jobs' NeXT Inc. and Apple Inc. that led to Jobs' return to Apple.
In 2007, Metro and its sister publication North Bay Bohemian prompted Sen. Dianne Feinstein's resignation from the U.S. Senate's Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee after the two papers published an exposé by Peter Byrne documenting Feinstein's conflicts of interest related to husband Richard C. Blum's ownership interest in two major defense contractors, firms that received billions of dollars in contracts for military construction projects that were approved during Feinstein's tenure on the subcommittee.
In 2012, Metro published a series of articles on Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors chair George Shirakawa, Jr., who had failed to file legally required campaign disclosure statements and had not turned in receipts for 175 taxpayer-underwritten meal charges. The disclosures resulted in an investigation by the Fair Political Practices Commission and the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office. Shirakawa pleaded guilty on March 1, 2013, to five felonies and seven misdemeanors and resigned his office. Assistant District Attorney Karyn Sinunu Towery credited Metro reports with prompting the criminal investigation at the press conference announcing the plea and resignation. The House Committee on Ethics investigated Rep. Mike Honda following revelations in Metro that contributors were receiving favors from the congressman's office.
Notable alumni
The newspaper has helped launch the careers of several notable writers, including British television journalist Louis Theroux, author Jonathan Vankin, author and educator Gordon Young (Journalist), Vietnamese-American author Andrew Pham, Obama administration education advisor Hal Plotkin, News Director of Vice News Michael Learmonth, and film producer Zack Stentz It also published the writings of Michelle Goldberg, six-word memoirist Larry Smith and Dave Eggers before they became published authors. It was also one of the first newspapers to publish Matt Groening's Life in Hell long before he created The Simpsons.
Community involvement
In 1986, Metro executive editor Dan Pulcrano co-founded with Ray Rodriguez the San Jose Downtown Association and led the effort to start Music in the Park, a free public music festival that lasted until 2011 and staged performances by such groups as Neon Trees, Camper, Billy Preston, the BoDeans, Tower of Power and the Tubes.
The San Jose Jazz Society was started by Metro jazz writer Sammy Cohen and headquartered in Metro's office. The outgrowth was the annual San Jose Jazz Festival.
During the 1990s, Metro purchased community newspapers from companies such as the Tribune Company and established Silicon Valley Community Newspapers, which it sold in 2001.
Metro was the first to call for a Sunshine Ordinance during the 1998 mayor's race. An ordinance was passed in 2009.
In explaining the newspaper's mission on its 20th anniversary, executive editor Pulcrano said, "We have championed independent businesses and small theaters in an effort to help the valley establish its own cultural identity. We have pushed for preservation of historic buildings and agricultural lands that represent the valley's heritage and soul. And we have promoted sensible, pedestrian-oriented development that gets people out of their cars so they can get to know one another. A newspaper at its best should be a community-builder."
In 2012, Metro sponsored the Silicon Valley Sound Experience, a multi-venue music festival, which led to the establishment of Creative Convergence Silicon Valley, or C2SV, the following year. The 2013 event included performances by Iggy and The Stooges and a three-day technology conference with appearances by Steve Wozniak, Nolan Bushnell and John McAfee. The 2015 C2SV brought camera phone inventor Philippe Kahn to the stage of the California Theatre.

The Apollo program was a United States human spaceflight program carried out from 1961 to 1972 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which landed the first astronauts on the Moon. The program used the Saturn IB and Saturn V launch vehicles to lift the Command/Service Module (CSM) and Lunar Module (LM) spacecraft into space, and the Little Joe II rocket to test a launch escape system which was expected to carry the astronauts to safety in the event of a Saturn failure. Uncrewed test flights beginning in 1966 demonstrated the safety of the launch vehicles and spacecraft to carry astronauts, and four crewed flights beginning in October 1968 demonstrated the ability of the spacecraft to carry out a lunar landing mission.
Apollo achieved the first crewed lunar landing on the Apollo 11 mission, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their LM Eagle in the Sea of Tranquility and walked on the lunar surface, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the CSM Columbia, and all three landed safely on Earth on July 24, 1969. Five subsequent missions landed astronauts on various lunar sites, ending in December 1972 with twelve men having walked on the Moon and of lunar rocks and soil samples returned to Earth, greatly contributing to the understanding of the Moon's composition and geological history.
Two Apollo missions were failures: a 1967 cabin fire killed the entire Apollo 1 crew during a ground test in preparation for what was to be the first crewed flight; and the third landing attempt on Apollo 13 was aborted by an oxygen tank explosion en route to the Moon, which disabled the CSM Odyssey'''s electrical power and life support systems, and made the propulsion system unsafe to use. The crew circled the Moon and were returned safely to Earth using the LM Aquarius'' as a "lifeboat" for these functions.
Uncrewed test flights
From 1961 through 1967, Saturn launch vehicles and Apollo spacecraft components were tested in uncrewed flights.
Saturn I
The Saturn I launch vehicle was originally planned to carry crewed Command Module flights into low Earth orbit, but its payload capacity limit could not lift even a partially fueled Service Module, which would have required building a lightweight retrorocket module for deorbit. These plans were eventually scrapped, in favor of using the uprated Saturn IB to launch the Command Module with a half-fueled Service Module for crewed Earth orbit tests. This limited Saturn I flights to Saturn launch vehicle development, CSM boilerplate testing, and three micrometeroid satellite launches in support of Apollo.
There was some incongruity in the numbering and naming of the first three uncrewed Apollo-Saturn (AS), or Apollo flights. This is due to AS-204 being renamed to Apollo 1 posthumously. This crewed flight was to have followed the first three uncrewed flights. After the fire which killed the AS-204 crew on the pad during a test and training exercise, uncrewed Apollo flights resumed to test the Saturn V launch vehicle and the Lunar Module; these were designated Apollo 4, 5 and 6. The first crewed Apollo mission was thus Apollo 7. Simple "Apollo" numbers were never assigned to the first three uncrewed flights, although renaming AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203 as Apollo 1-A, Apollo 2 and Apollo 3, had been briefly considered.
Saturn IB
The Saturn I was converted to the Uprated Saturn I, eventually designated Saturn IB, by replacing the S-IV second stage with the S-IVB, which would also be used as the third stage of the Saturn V with the addition of on-orbit restart capability. This increased the payload capacity to , enough to orbit a Command Module with a half-fueled Service Module, and more than enough to orbit a fully fueled Lunar Module.
Two suborbital tests of the Apollo Block I Command and Service Module, one S-IVB development test, and one Lunar Module test were conducted. Success of the LM test led to cancellation of a planned second uncrewed flight.
Launch escape system tests
From August 1963 to January 1966, a number of tests were conducted at the White Sands Missile Range for development of the launch escape system (LES). These included simulated "pad aborts", which might occur while the Apollo-Saturn space vehicle was still on the launch pad, and flights on the Little Joe II rocket to simulate Mode I aborts which might occur while the vehicle was in the air.
Saturn V
Prior to George Mueller's tenure as NASA's Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight starting in 1963, it was assumed that 20 Saturn Vs, with at least 10 unpiloted test flights, would be required to achieve a crewed Moon landing, using the conservative one-stage-at-a-time testing philosophy used for the Saturn I. But Mueller introduced the "all-up" testing philosophy of using three live stages plus the Apollo spacecraft on every test flight. This achieved development of the Saturn V with far fewer uncrewed tests, and facilitated achieving the Moon landing by the 1969 goal. The size of the Saturn V production lot was reduced from 20 to 15 units.
Three uncrewed test flights were planned to human-rate the super heavy-lift Saturn V which would take crewed Apollo flights to the Moon. Success of the first flight and qualified success of the second led to the decision to cancel the third uncrewed test.
Alphabetical mission types
The Apollo program required sequential testing of several major mission elements in the runup to a crewed lunar landing. An alphabetical list of major mission types was proposed by Owen Maynard in September 1967. Two "A-type" missions performed uncrewed tests of the CSM and the Saturn V, and one B-type mission performed an uncrewed test of the LM. The C-type mission, the first crewed flight of the CSM in Earth orbit, was performed by Apollo 7.
The list was revised upon George Low's proposal to commit a mission to lunar orbit ahead of schedule, an idea influenced by the status of the CSM as a proven craft and production delays of the LM. Apollo 8 was reclassified from its original assignment as a D-type mission, a test of the complete CSM/LM spacecraft in Earth orbit, to a "C-prime" mission which would fly humans to the Moon. Once complete, it obviated the need for the E-type objective of a medium Earth orbital test. The D-type mission was instead performed by Apollo 9; the F-type mission, Apollo 10, flew the CSM/LM spacecraft to the Moon for final testing, without landing. The G-type mission, Apollo 11, performed the first lunar landing, the central goal of the program.
The initial A–G list was expanded to include later mission types: H-type missions—Apollo 12, 13 (planned) and 14—would perform precision landings, and J-type missions—Apollo 15, 16 and 17—would perform thorough scientific investigation. The I-type objective, which called for extended lunar orbital surveillance of the Moon, was incorporated into the J-type missions.
Crewed missions
The Block I CSM spacecraft did not have capability to fly with the LM, and the three crew positions were designated Command Pilot, Senior Pilot, and Pilot, based on U.S. Air Force pilot ratings. The Block II spacecraft was designed to fly with the Lunar Module, so the corresponding crew positions were designated Commander, Command Module Pilot, and Lunar Module Pilot regardless of whether a Lunar Module was present or not on any mission.
Seven of the missions involved extravehicular activity (EVA), spacewalks or moonwalks outside of the spacecraft. These were of three types: testing the lunar EVA suit in Earth orbit (Apollo 9), exploring the lunar surface, and retrieving film canisters from the Scientific Instrument Module stored in the Service Module.
Canceled missions
Several planned missions of the Apollo program were canceled for a variety of reasons, including changes in technical direction, the Apollo 1 fire, hardware delays, and budget limitations.
Before the Apollo 1 fire, two crewed Block I spacecraft missions were planned, but then it was decided that the second one would give no more information about the spacecraft performance not obtained from the first, and could not carry out extra activities such as EVA, and was canceled.
The Saturn V's all-up testing strategy and relatively good success rate accomplished the first Moon landing on the sixth flight, leaving ten available for Moon landings through Apollo 20, but waning public interest in the program led to decreased Congressional funding, forcing NASA to economize. First, was cut to make a Saturn V available to launch the Skylab space station whole instead of building it on-orbit using multiple Saturn IB launches. Eight months later, Apollo 18 and 19 were also cut to further economize, and because of fears of increased chance of failure with a large number of lunar flights.

Each bass guitar tuning assigns pitches to the strings of an electric bass. Because pitches are associated with notes, bass-guitar tunings assign open notes to open strings. There are several techniques for accurately tuning the strings of an electric bass. Bass method or lesson books or videos introduce one or more tuning techniques, such as:
By ear to the sounded reference pitch of a piano, since a piano typically remains tuned much longer than a guitar, and electronic pianos are perpetually in tune.
By ear to the sound of a tuning fork or pitch pipe, which lets you get one pitch on one string correct. Then, use relative tuning (below) to adjust the other strings.
By ear to the sound of a guitar. On a four string bass guitar, its strings are pitched one octave lower than the four lowest pitched strings of a guitar. Tune them identically, without the octave interval, by pressing the 12th fret of each string on the bass.
By electric tuner, tuner app program on a smartphone, or tuning tools on a website, which pick up the audible sound through a microphone, or physical vibrations when attached to the instrument, or the electromagnetic waves through the pickup and instrument patch cable. These indicate when strings are tuned by visual and audio cues.
By ear using relative tuning, using known pitch intervals or chromatic tones played between an already tuned string and one that needs tuning. This is colloquially known as "tuning the bass to itself". The instrument tuned in this manner can be played alone, but it may not be in tune with other instruments, such as a piano, if no reference pitch was used. This technique may also be used for slightly obscure "visual" or "haptic" tuning - by pressing appropriate frets that should make the strings unison the vibrations from one string will be picked up by the other string which will start vibrating (when tuned correctly). This may be observed visually or felt by gently touching the unplayed string.
While tuning is mainly done prior to performances, musicians may tune again during a show, typically between songs, either to correct the tuning of the instrument (heat, humidity, string bending, and heavy playing all affect tuning), or to change to a new tuning, such as dropping the pitch of the E string to D for a song in D major. Amateur musicians tune their own bass, but touring professionals in bands may have a bass tech who tunes their basses.
Overview
Most bass guitars have four strings, which are tuned one octave lower than the lowest pitched four strings of an electric guitar E, A, D, G using the equal temperament tuning method and standard pitch. The bass guitar is a transposing instrument, as it is notated in bass clef an octave higher than it sounds, to reduce the need for ledger lines in music written for the instrument, and simplify reading.
Thus, on a score the notes of each string would be written as shown in the following image.
Strings and tuning
The standard design for the electric bass guitar has four strings, tuned E, A, D and G, in fourths such that the open highest string, G, is an eleventh (an octave and a fourth) below middle C, making the tuning of all four strings the same as that of the double bass (E1–A1–D2–G2). This tuning is also the same as the standard tuning on the lower-pitched four strings on a six-string guitar, only an octave lower.
There is a range of different string types, which are available in many various metals, windings, and finishes. Each combination has specific tonal characteristics, interaction with pickups, and "feel" to the player's hands.
Variables include wrap finish (roundwound, flatwound, halfwound, ground wound, and pressure wound), as well as metal strings with different coverings (tapewound or plastic covered). In the 1950s and early 1960s, bassists mostly used flatwound strings with a smooth surface, which have a smooth, damped sound reminiscent of a double bass. In the late 1960s and 1970s, players began using roundwound bass strings, which produce a brighter tone similar to steel guitar strings, and a brighter timbre (tone) with longer sustain than flatwounds.
A variety of tuning options and number of string courses (courses are when strings are put together in groups of two, often at the unison or octave) have been used to extend the range of the instrument, or facilitate different modes of playing, or allow for different playing sounds.
Four strings can obtain an extended lower range through thicker strings or "down-tuning." Tunings such as B–E–A–D (this requires a low "B" string in addition to the other three "standard" strings, and omits the G string), D–A–D–G (a "standard" set of strings, with only the lowest string detuned from E down to D), and D–G–C–F or C–G–C–F (a "standard" set of strings, all of which are detuned either a whole tone, or a whole tone for the three higher-pitched strings and two tones for the E, which is dropped to a low C) give bassists an extended lower range. A tenor bass tuning of A–D–G–C, in which the low E is omitted and a high C is added, provides a higher range. Tuning in fifths e.g., C–G–D–A (like a violoncello but an octave lower) gives an extended upper and lower range. Further, some players prefer to tune their basses with a "Low G" (G0). Often, this requires a large-gauge string which replaces the E-string, and the other strings are often lowered as well in this sort of tuning.
Five strings usually tuned B0–E1–A1–D2–G2, providing extended lower range. The earliest commercial five-string bass was created by Fender in 1965. The Fender Bass V used the E–A–D–G–C tuning, but was unpopular and discontinued in 1970. This tenor tuning is still used by some jazz and soloing bassists. The low-B five-string was created by Jimmy Johnson in 1975, modifying an E–A–D–G–C five-string Alembic bass, with a different nut and a low-B string from GHS. Carl Thompson finished a purpose-built five-string bass with a low-B in May of 1976, one year after completing the first six-string for Anthony Jackson (see below). Steinberger made a 5-string headless instrument called the L-2/5 in 1982, and later Yamaha offered its first production model as the BB5000 in 1984.
Six strings are usually tuned B0–E1–A1–D2–G2–C3—like a four-string bass with an additional low B string and a high C string. Some players prefer B0–E1–A1–D2–F2–B2, which preserves the intervals of standard six-string guitar tuning (an octave and a fourth lower) and makes the highest and lowest string the same note two octaves apart. While less common than four or five-string basses, they appear in Latin, jazz, and other genres, as well as in studio work where a session musician's single instrument must be highly versatile, and to facilitate sightreading in the recording studio. In 1974, Anthony Jackson worked with Carl Thompson to create the first Contrabass guitar (BEADGC). Later, Jackson brought his ideas to Fodera and worked with Ken Smith to create a wider-spaced Contrabass guitar, which evolved to the modern six-string bass.
Eight and twelve-string models are both built on the same "course string" concept found on twelve-string guitars, where sets of strings are spaced together in groups of two or three that are primarily played simultaneously. These instruments typically have one of the strings in each course tuned an octave above the 'standard' string, although a fifth above is also used. Instruments with ten and fifteen strings, grouped in five courses, also exist, as do "extended-range basses" or ERBs with non-coursed string counts rivaling those of coursed-string basses.
Detuners are mechanical devices the player operates with the thumb on the fretting hand to quickly retune one or more strings to a pre-set lower pitch. On standard four-string basses, detuners are most often used to drop the E-string down to D. On basses with five or more strings, they typically drop the B-string down to a B. Some bassists (e.g., Michael Manring) add detuners to more than one string, or even more than one detuner to each string, so they can quickly access alternate tunings, especially during live performances.
Alternative range approaches
Some bassists use unusual tunings to extend the range or get other benefits, such as providing multiple octaves of notes at any given position, or a larger tonal range. Instrument types or tunings used for this purpose include basses with fewer than four strings: one-string bass guitars, two-string bass guitars, three-string bass guitars (session bassist Tony Levin commissioned Music Man to build a three-string version of his favorite Stingray bass). As well as alternative tunings (e.g., tenor bass); tuned A–D–G–C, like the top 4 strings of a six-string bass, or simply a standard four-string with the strings each tuned up an additional perfect fourth. Tenor bass is a tuning used by Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten, and Stu Hamm.
Extended-range basses (ERBs) are basses with six to twelve strings—with the additional strings used for range rather than unison or octave pairs. A seven-string bass (B0–E1–A1–D2–G2–C3–F3) was built by luthier Michael Tobias in 1987 for bassist Garry Goodman. Also German bass luthier Warwick built several custom fretless seven-string Thumb NT basses (F#0–B0–E1–A1–D2–G2–C3) for Jeroen Paul Thesseling.
A piccolo bass resembles a four-stringed electric bass guitar, but usually tuned one full octave higher than a normal bass. The first piccolo bass was constructed by luthier Carl Thompson for Stanley Clarke. To allow for the raised tuning, the strings are thinner, and the length of the neck (the scale) may be shorter. Several companies manufacture "piccolo" string sets that, with a different nut, can be put on any regular bass.

Crustal recycling is a tectonic process by which surface material from the lithosphere is recycled into the mantle by subduction erosion or delamination. The subducting slabs carry volatile compounds and water into the mantle, as well as crustal material with an isotopic signature different from that of primitive mantle. Identification of this crustal signature in mantle-derived rocks (such as mid-ocean ridge basalts or kimberlites) is proof of crustal recycling.
Historical and theoretical context
Between 1906 and 1936 seismological data were used by R.D. Oldham, A. Mohorovičić, B. Gutenberg and I. Lehmann to show that the earth consisted of a solid crust and mantle, a fluid outer core and a solid innermost core. The development of seismology as a modern tool for imaging the Earth's deep interior occurred during the 1980s, and with it developed two camps of geologists: whole-mantle convection proponents and layered-mantle convection proponents.
Layered-mantle convection proponents hold that the mantle's convective activity is layered, separated by densest-packing phase transitions of minerals like olivine, garnet and pyroxene to more dense crystal structures (spinel and then silicate perovskite and post-perovskite). Slabs that are subducted may be negatively buoyant as a result of being cold from their time on the surface and inundation with water, but this negative buoyancy is not enough to move through the 660-km phase transition.
Whole-mantle (simple) convection proponents hold that the mantle’s observed density differences (which are inferred to be products of mineral phase transitions) do not restrict convective motion, which moves through the upper and lower mantle as a single convective cell. Subducting slabs are able to move through the 660-km phase transition and collect near the bottom of the mantle in a 'slab graveyard', and may be the driving force for convection in the mantle locally and on a crustal scale.
The fate of subducted material
The ultimate fate of crustal material is key to understanding geochemical cycling, as well as persistent heterogeneities in the mantle, upwelling and myriad effects on magma composition, melting, plate tectonics, mantle dynamics and heat flow. If slabs are stalled out at the 660-km boundary, as the layered-mantle hypothesis suggests, they cannot be incorporated into hot spot plumes, thought to originate at the core-mantle boundary. If slabs end up in a "slab graveyard" at the core-mantle boundary, they cannot be involved in flat slab subduction geometry. Mantle dynamics is likely a mix of the two end-member hypotheses, resulting in a partially layered mantle convection system.
The current understanding of the structure of the deep Earth is informed mostly by inference from direct and indirect measurements of mantle properties using seismology, petrology, isotope geochemistry and seismic tomography techniques. Seismology in particular is heavily relied upon for information about the deep mantle near the core-mantle boundary.
Evidence
Seismic tomography
Although seismic tomography was producing low-quality images of the Earth's mantle in the 1980s, images published in a 1997 editorial article in the journal Science clearly showed a cool slab near the core-mantle boundary, as did work completed in 2005 by Hutko et al., showing a seismic tomography image that may be cold, folded slab material at the core-mantle boundary.
However, the phase transitions may still play a role in the behavior of slabs at depth. Schellart et al. showed that the 660-km phase transition may serve to deflect downgoing slabs. The shape of the subduction zone was also key in whether the geometry of the slab could overcome the phase transition boundary.
Mineralogy may also play a role, as locally metastable olivine will form areas of positive buoyancy, even in a cold downgoing slab, and this could cause slabs to 'stall out' at the increased density of the 660-km phase transition. Slab mineralogy and its evolution at depth were not initially computed with information about the heating rate of a slab, which could prove essential to helping maintain negative buoyancy long enough to pierce the 660 km phase change. Additional work completed by Spasojevic et al. showed that local minima in the geoid could be accounted for by the processes that occur in and around slab graveyards, as indicated in their models.
Stable isotopes
Understanding that the differences between Earth's layers are not just rheological, but chemical, is essential to understanding how we can track the movement of crustal material even after it has been subducted. After a rock has moved to the surface of the Earth from beneath the crust, that rock can be sampled for its stable isotopic composition. It can then be compared to known crustal and mantle isotopic compositions, as well as that of chondrites, which are understood to represent original material from the formation of the Solar System in a largely unaltered state.
One group of researchers was able to estimate that between 5 and 10% of the upper mantle is composed of recycled crustal material.
Kokfelt et al. completed an isotopic examination of the mantle plume under Iceland and found that erupted mantle lavas incorporated lower crustal components, confirming crustal recycling at the local level.
Some carbonatite units, which are associated with immiscible volatile-rich magmas and the mantle indicator mineral diamond, have shown isotopic signals for organic carbon, which could only have been introduced by subducted organic material. The work done on carbonatites by Walter et al. and others further develops the magmas at depth as being derived from dewatering slab material.

Chlorochlamys phyllinaria, the thin-lined chlorochlamys moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Georgia to California, northward in the central states to Nebraska.
The length of the forewings is 6–9 mm for males and 7–10.5 mm for females. The forewings are usually olive green, but sometimes tan or reddish brown. There are thin whitish or yellowish lines. The hindwings are similar, but always without an antemedial line. Adults are usually on wing from June to September, but from March to November in the south-west.

In thermodynamics, Trouton's rule states that the entropy of vaporization is almost the same value, about 85–88 J/(K·mol), for various kinds of liquids at their boiling points. The entropy of vaporization is defined as the ratio between the enthalpy of vaporization and the boiling temperature. It is named after Frederick Thomas Trouton.
It is expressed as a function of the gas constant :
A similar way of stating this (Trouton's ratio) is that the latent heat is connected to boiling point roughly as
Trouton’s rule can be explained by using Boltzmann's definition of entropy to the relative change in free volume (that is, space available for movement) between the liquid and vapour phases. It is valid for many liquids; for instance, the entropy of vaporization of toluene is 87.30 J/(K·mol), that of benzene is 89.45 J/(K·mol), and that of chloroform is 87.92 J/(K·mol). Because of its convenience, the rule is used to estimate the enthalpy of vaporization of liquids whose boiling points are known.
The rule, however, has some exceptions. For example, the entropies of vaporization of water, ethanol, formic acid and hydrogen fluoride are far from the predicted values. The entropy of vaporization of at its boiling point has the extraordinarily high value of 136.9 J/(K·mol). The characteristic of those liquids to which Trouton’s rule cannot be applied is their special interaction between molecules, such as hydrogen bonding. The entropy of vaporization of water and ethanol shows positive deviance from the rule; this is because the hydrogen bonding in the liquid phase lessens the entropy of the phase. In contrast, the entropy of vaporization of formic acid has negative deviance. This fact indicates the existence of an orderly structure in the gas phase; it is known that formic acid forms a dimer structure even in the gas phase. Negative deviance can also occur as a result of a small gas-phase entropy owing to a low population of excited rotational states in the gas phase, particularly in small molecules such as methane a small moment of inertia giving rise to a large rotational constant , with correspondingly widely separated rotational energy levels and, according to Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, a small population of excited rotational states, and hence a low rotational entropy. The validity of Trouton's rule can be increased by considering
Here, if , the right hand side of the equation equals , and we find the original formulation for Trouton's rule.

The BL 18-inch railway howitzer (formally Ordnance BL 18-inch Mk I howitzer on truck, railway) was a British railway gun developed during World War I. Part of the progression of ever-larger howitzers on the Western Front, it did not enter service until 1920.
History
Five guns and two complete equipments on railway wagons were produced. After World War I there was no use for such large but relatively short-ranged weapons and they were placed in storage. In World War II the two wagons were used to mount 13.5-inch guns, which were capable of engaging targets on the German-occupied Channel coast of France. In late 1940 one 18-inch howitzer was mounted on the railway mounting nicknamed "Boche Buster" which had been used in World War I to carry a 14-inch gun.
Deployment to Kent, 1940
In 1940 there were concerns that an enemy invasion was imminent, crossing the English Channel from France. Three heavy rail-mounted guns were deployed on the Elham Valley Railway line in Kent. The railway route followed a meandering course, enabling the guns to be trained by moving them along the line to a suitable location. The wooded landscape also gave cover for the guns.
The heaviest gun was stationed at Bourne Park, where there was a short tunnel; the gun could be stood down in the tunnel, avoiding enemy attack. The other two guns were deployed to Elham railway station. The guns remained in the area for the greater part of the hostilities.
The howitzer gun at Bourne, the so-called "Boche Buster", had a barrel of 18 inches diameter and was, apart from a ponderous and unreliable Russian siege cannon, the largest railway gun in Europe. It had originally had a 14-inch barrel during World War I, and the last action in which it fired was in 1916 when three rounds completely destroyed the railway station at Arras in France. The gun was then stored at Nottingham until early in 1940, when the authorities realised the potential of the weapon for military defence.
It was fitted with an 18-inch naval barrel at the Darlington railway works in the spring of 1940. The barrel was one of several that had been removed from British battleships following the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922, which banned very large naval guns.
It was manned by 50 men and several specialist gunnery officers from the 2nd Regiment of the Royal Artillery. The complete battery, including Royal Engineers to work the railway locomotives and supervise track work, numbered 80 men and was known as the 11th Super Heavy Battery. After initial training at Catterick Camp in the summer and autumn of 1940, the 11th Super Heavy Battery, under the command of Major Boyle, moved to Kent in early January 1941. For the journey the gun was disguised as three banana wagons by the skilful use of steel hoops and canvas. At 250 tons all up, the gun was far in excess of the weight limit of the Elham railway, and considerable strengthening works were carried out. It arrived at Bishopsbourne in February, and arrangements were made to store it in the tunnel at Bourne Park. This had originally had two tracks, but had been reduced to single track as an economy measure before the war. To allow through trains to pass while the gun was there, the second track was reinstated. The shells were high, each weighing , and transferring them was a long and arduous job despite the use of special hoists. At Bishopsbourne station itself arrangements were made to allow mess and sleeping coaches to be shunted into the siding.
The gun was first fired, for calibration tests, on the morning of 13 February 1941, when the equipment was towed to a stretch of track near the Black Robin public house, Kingston. Several rounds were fired out into mid-channel, the results of which were sighted and marked by observation posts on the cliffs at Dover. In the Kingston and Barham area villagers were warned to open doors and windows, but the blasts were so severe that in many cases houses were damaged. The gun was fired on only two other occasions, shortly after the first; one at the World's Wonder bridge between Barham and Elham and the other at Lickpot bridge, Elham.
The railway track had to be altered whenever the gun was run out for firing. At the places where the army decided the gun was most likely to be used in countering an invasion threat, the track was strengthened and the sleeper spacing reduced. The recoil on firing made the gun run back , and even then tended to distort the track. A 200-yard spur railway line was laid into the fields, just north of Kingston village, in order to allow the gun to train on the beaches at Sandwich Bay and Pegwell Bay, as well as the Straits of Dover and the English Channel approaches.
On 20 June 1941, the "Boche Buster" was inspected by Winston Churchill at Bishopsbourne station, and later that day the Prime Minister viewed the smaller guns at Elham.
In 1944 the army decided that all the guns would be more useful in the Allies' drive towards Germany and they were taken to Salisbury Plain for testing prior to the invasion of Normandy.
Preservation
The four BL 18-inch railway howitzers that were deployed during the Second World War were all scrapped in the post-war period.
Only the gun from the fifth howitzer, named "barrel number one", survives, it was used for artillery testing at MoD Shoeburyness in 1920 before being put into storage at the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. In 1940 it returned to Shoeburyness to be used again for experimental firings. Post war it continued to be used until 1959. Its final series of tests was firing experimental cannon shells using much reduced charges.
After decades in storage, the barrel was put on public display at Larkhill, when the Royal Artillery relocated there in 2008 with the closure of its Woolwich Barracks. In March 2013 it was loaned to the Spoorwegmuseum, the Dutch national rail museum.
In September 2013 it was moved back to the Royal Armouries artillery museum at Fort Nelson, Hampshire. It is mounted on a proofing carriage, a gun carriage with very limited elevation and traverse intended for test firing.

Aasmanon Pay Likha () (meaning Written on skies) is a TV show that aired on Geo Entertainment television. It stars Sajal Ali and Sheheryar Munawar in lead roles.
Plot
Qudsia (Sajal Ali) is a middle-class girl who dreams of a simple married life. Unfortunately, her in-laws demand a hefty sum of dowry. Qudsia's family were not able to pay the dowry. Her father eventually has a heart attack after getting insulted. Aaliyan (Sheheryar Munawar), who has come to attend his employee's daughter's wedding, ends up marrying Qudsia.
Qudsia marries Aaliyan, who doesn't believe in the nikkah as he only sees it as a deal to protect her and is still adamant about marrying his longtime fiancée Natasha. Aaliyan's family bursts on him for marrying such a girl without informing them.
Aaliyan is close to his Dadi. Aaliyan (Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui) tells his Dadi about the drama. His Dadi says that she'll try to resolve the matter. She goes to Qudsia's house to talk, but she realises that Qudsia's father will not survive her divorce. He says that as long as Qudsia is happy and married, he will be fine. Dadi takes Qudsia back home.
Natasha is again angry with Aaliyan, leaves his room, and runs into Qudsia. She gets even more upset. Aaliyan asks Dadi why she brought Qudsia with her again. Dadi explains the entire matter to him. He says he'll divorce her, but his Dadi warns him not to do so. Dadi tells him how good Qudsia is and how this will affect her and her family though it is not even her mistake.
After some days, Qudsia's father decides to work again. He goes to the office where Aaliyan's father insults him and his daughter, and he gets a heart attack leading to his death. Qudsia gets depressed and breaks down in front of Aaliyan. Aaliyan supports her and consoles her.
Later he returns to his house, where everyone is angry with him. He decides to go back to Qudsia's place. He goes there and stays there. Later he tells Qudsia that he has to leave. Qudsia requests him to stay as it is raining. But Aaliyan does not listen. But his car breaks down. So he stays there.
The next day, Natasha comes there angrily and takes Aaliyan with her. Natasha and Aaliyan soon get married and live in America. Qudsia gets a job at Aaliyan's biological mother's place. She cares for her, unaware that she is Aaliyan's biological mother.
Meanwhile, relations between Aaliyan and Natasha are not good. Natasha keeps thinking that Aaliyan is cheating on her. Soon they come to Pakistan. Natasha is mad at Aaliyan every day on one or the other matter. Shamsa (Saba Hameed) (Aaliyan's biological mother) starts liking Qudsia for Shehnawas (Shamsa's brother-in-law), whose wife has died.
Shamsa then visits Aaliyan's Dadi. She gives her address and asks her to give it to Aaliyan. Dadi gives it to Aaliyan and asks him to meet her. He then goes to her but is angry at her as she left him while he was young. Shamsa gets emotional and wishes to talk to him and hug him, but he refuses and then leaves. Shamsa then tells Qudsia that today his son came and met her. Qudsia is happy for her. Shamsa then tells her something where she mentions Aaliyan, and glass falls from Qudsia's hands as she is in deep shock.
After a few days, Aaliyan again visits his mother. He is furious and wants to know why she left him. As he gets off his car, he meets Shehnawas and his daughter. His daughter greets him and says, "Nice to meet you, uncle." to which he replies, "Nice to meet you." and then sees Qudsia and says, "Again". They then enter the house, where Aaliyan continues to shout at his mother as she cries. He then leaves.
Later Shamsa's health worsens as she has cancer at the last stage. Aaliyan comes there. She says she wants to hug him, but he refuses and leaves. Soon Shamsa passes away. Qudsia kept calling Aaliyan, but he couldn't answer as he was asleep. Later when he goes to the hospital, he breaks down in tears and hugs his mother.
He asks his Dad about his mother and then learns that she wasn't a bad woman. He shouts and leaves. His Dad comes to his Dadi and yells at her on various matters, which causes her death. When Aaliyan returns to her, he keeps talking to her and realizes that she has died. He again breaks down in tears.
Later Shahnawaz informs Qudsia about her death which results in Qudsia crying. She tries calling Aaliyan. Aaliyan calls on Shamsa's phone, which he was sure that Qudsia would pick up, and she did. He cries on the phone, as does Qudsia. Qudsia then goes to Aaliyan's place and consoles him. While she is about to leave, Aaliyan holds her hand and asks her not to go. He says, "Mai bhi ruka tha kyunki tumhe meri zaroorat thi.". She replies, "Aap ruke kyunki aap ki gaadi kharab hogayi thi". He then admits that his car did not break down.
Soon his dad arrives and insults Qudsia. She runs out of the room, and Natasha arrives there. She slaps her and insults her. Shahnawaz comes and takes her back. Later Aaliyan comes to Qudsia and tells Shahnawaz about him and Qudsia. Aaliyan tells Qudsia that he needs her. She says that their marriage was a contract. Aaliyan requests that she should never call their marriage a contract. She says to give her a divorce. He says, "Pehle tum divorce nahi chahti thi aur ab mai ...mai tumhe divorce nahi dunga".

Reception
The drama serial soon became popular after its premiere. The most popular serial of that time received the highest TRPs of 10. The drama serial even beat the 2011's blockbuster Humsafar in terms of ratings and became the highest-rated drama serial in the history of Pakistani satellite television. The serial's GRPs were 521 of only 20 episodes, while that of Humsafar had a GRPs of 353 (which had a total of 23 episodes). However, some critics remarked that Aly was typecast as she earlier played a similar character, Gori, in Gohar-e-Nayab.

Gourette () is a winter sports resort in the French Pyrenees. It is located in the commune of Eaux-Bonnes in the département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, on the D 918 road which passes through the Col d'Aubisque mountain pass. The closest air access is Pau Pyrénées Airport.
Winter offerings
In winter, the resort offers one of the largest skiable areas in the Pyrenean chain with 30 marked trails, and extending between 1,400 and 2,400 metres in altitude, covering about 90 hectares of mostly north-facing slopes. The area also hosts snowboarding and snowshoe trails. In 2005 the region spent over 50 million euros to improve its winter resort facilities, including trails, lifts, accommodation and other infrastructure.
Summer offerings
In summer, tourists visit the valley of the Gave d'Ossau and its lakes for sightseeing, hiking, biking, rock climbing, and mountaineering, including the ascent of Pic du Midi d'Ossau (2,884 metres/9,462 ft). The French GR 10 hiking trail, which covers over 800 km from one end of the Pyrenees to the other, passes through the village.
Tour de France
The 2007 Tour de France passed through Gourette. The road through the Col d'Aubisque pass, cresting at an altitude of 1,710 metres (5,610 feet), has slopes from 7.5 to 10% and is considered a Hors Catégorie climb in Union Cycliste Internationale race classifications.

William Barron (26 October 1917 – 2 January 2006) was an English sportsman, who played football in the higher leagues before the Second World War and, along with some football, first-class cricket afterwards.
Sporting career
William Barron was born in Herrington, Co Durham on 26 October 1917. Before the Second World War, Barron, his first name shortened to Bill, was mostly known as a footballer, playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers (though not in a first team fixture), Charlton Athletic and Northampton Town. He was mostly a forward, but played on after the war for Northampton as a left-back.
His post-war focus was on cricket: a left-handed batsman and leg-break bowler and an occasional wicketkeeper, Barron played 118 first-class games for Northamptonshire between 1946 and 1951. His first-class debut, however, came in a 1945 match for Lancashire against Yorkshire. He also played once for Sir PF Warner's XI in 1947. He died in Northampton on 2 January 2006, aged 88.
Personal life
Barron's son Roger also became a footballer.

Riverbend is the pseudonymous author of the blog "Baghdad Burning", launched on August 17, 2003. Riverbend's existence and identity remain a mystery, but the weblog entries suggest that she is a young Iraqi woman from a mixed Shia and Sunni family, living with her parents and brother in Baghdad. Before the United States occupation of Iraq she was a computer programmer.
She writes in an idiomatic English with, as James Ridgeway notes in the introduction to the Feminist Press edition of her work, "a slight American inflection". This has led to some controversy over her identity, as some claim she is an American who used a pseudonym to express their thoughts on U.S. involvement in Iraq. These concerns increased when a blogger did try to imitate the young blogger by creating a blog and using the name riverSbend to confuse those who followed the original blog. Riverbend talked about this blogger and corrected the narrative in her blog post on Wednesday, October 29, 2003.
Riverbend's blog combines political statements with a large dose of Iraqi cultural information, such as the celebration of Ramadhan and examples of Iraqi cuisine. In March 2006, her website received the Bloggie award for Best Middle East and Africa blog.
On April 26, 2007, Riverbend announced that she and her family would be leaving Iraq, owing to the lack of security in Baghdad and the ongoing violence there. On September 6, 2007, she reported that she had arrived safely in Syria.
Her last "regular" entry was on October 22, 2007, after a gruelling exit from and return to Syria to have her passport stamped as a "temporary visitor".
On April 9, 2013, she updated her blog with a post "Ten Years On", in which she said she had moved on from Syria "before the heavy fighting, before it got ugly" and considered herself fortunate. She was a year in another country and moved again to a third Arab country "with the hope that, this time, it'll stick until... Until when? Even the pessimists aren't sure anymore. When will things improve? When will be able to live normally? How long will it take?" She shared reflections on what Iraqis had learned in the ten years since the Fall of Baghdad. There have been no further entries at her blog.
Publishing
Riverbend's weblog entries were first collected and published as Baghdad Burning, (with a foreword by the investigative journalist James Ridgeway), and Baghdad Burning II, , (also with an introduction by James Ridgeway and Jean Casella). They have since been translated and published in numerous countries and languages. In 2005, Baghdad Burning won third place for the Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage and in 2006 it was longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize.
Baghdad Burning has also been made into several dramatic plays, mostly produced in New York City. BBC Radio 4 broadcast a five-episode dramatization of her blog, "Baghdad Burning", on the Woman's Hour serial, on each day from the 18 to 22 December 2006.

The Sand Springs Railway (originally the Sand Springs Interurban Railway) is a class III railroad operating in Oklahoma. It was originally formed in 1911 by industrialist Charles Page to connect his newly formed city of Sand Springs to Tulsa, operating both as a passenger carrying interurban and a freight carrier. At Sand Springs, the company also served his children's home, and Page directed all railroad profits to support the home's operations.
Passenger service was discontinued January 2, 1955, but the railroad has continued to operate until the present. Following a federal requirement to divest the railroad, in 1987 HMK Inc became the company's new owner, via subsidiary Sheffield Steel, operator of a steel plant served by the railroad. Gerdau Ameristeel Corporation took over the company in 2006. Shortline railroad holding company OmniTRAX purchased the company from Gerdau, which had previously shut down its steel plant in 2009, on July 1, 2014.
History
Formation and construction
The Sand Springs Interurban Railway was incorporated on February 6, 1911, by Charles Page, a wealthy industrialist. Page had previously started a home for needy children at Sand Springs, Oklahoma, in 1908, and the railroad served both the home and the "model city" he planned to build. Page additionally offered incentives for factories to build in Sand Springs, including $200,000 and free supplies of gas. From the beginning, the railroad was officially designated as a funding source for the Sand Springs Home, and was to terminate at an amusement park in Sand Springs to also be built by Page.
Construction of the line, which was to connect Sand Springs to Tulsa, began in earnest on February 20. The route roughly followed the Arkansas River, and was described as "mostly level". In February, it was reported that two bridges were to be built along the route, including "one 30-foot steel bridge and one 120-foot trestle". By March, this had changed to a 20 foot long bridge, and two shorter trestles of 30 feet in length each. Contracts for the grading of the line were issued by March, reported to require the movement of 7,000 cubic yards of earth per mile.
A local newspaper reported that "the equipment to be used on the road is to be... the best and most expensive obtainable". In addition to two "elegantly equipped" gas powered interurban cars from the McKeen Motor Car Company, the company also purchased a steam locomotive to haul freight traffic. Significant portions of the line were completed by early April, with the remaining obstacles being securing a route into downtown Tulsa, and delays in the arrival of sufficient spikes to install the remaining rails. Following trains run for the press and Tulsa officials on May 11, the Sand Springs Railroad officially opened to passenger traffic on May 14, 1911. The company later claimed that "when the railway was first established, only 40 people lived along the entire length of the line".
Interurban operations (1911–1955)
The opening of the railroad played a role in attracting residents and businesses to Sand Springs. "The best equipped interurban in the southwest" was one of the benefits touted in advertising for the city. By September 1911, passenger business was reportedly so strong that the line's regularly scheduled service could not meet demand. As a result, service frequencies were increased, with the company's steam locomotive and passenger cars used to supplement the two interurban cars.
In addition to robust passenger business, the Sand Springs Railway advertised its freight business, offering connections to four other railroads in downtown Tulsa. A number of industries had already opened or begun building factories in Sand Springs, including manufacturers of oil well supplies, glass, and cotton goods. The company also served a waterworks facility on the western outskirts of Tulsa, connecting it to the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway (known as the Frisco) in downtown. Besides the Frisco, the Sand Springs Railway also connected to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (the Santa Fe), the Midland Valley Railroad, and the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad (known by its initials MKT or as the "Katy").Electrification of the line rapidly progressed in 1912, with the railroad ordering seven electric cars to supplement the two McKeen gasoline cars, which were to be retained as well. A new power plant was constructed to power the railroad, as well as the city of Sand Springs. The company formally changed its name to drop the word "interurban" from its name in April 1912. It maintained corporate headquarters at the First National Bank Building in Tulsa, with a repair shop located in Sand Springs.
The city of Tulsa voted overwhelmingly to grant the Sand Springs Railway authority to construct a route within the city on May 29, 1911, securing it access to downtown. At the time, trains were running from a temporary terminal at Third Street. With the extension granted, the new terminus was to be located at the intersection of Main and Archer Streets, with the Brady Hotel to be used as a waiting room for passengers. The Sand Springs Railway planned to complete the extension within three weeks.
Within a few years of electrification, the two McKeen gas cars were sold to two other lines in Texas and Oklahoma, as they were found to be inadequate for the Sand Springs Railway's needs. In March 1914, the Sand Springs Railway purchased a unique 50 ton, 400 horsepower a Baldwin-Westinghouse electric locomotive to handle increasing freight traffic. A double-tracking project was launched in 1916 to increase the line's capacity between Sand Springs and Tulsa. The Sand Springs Railway began hauling mail traffic between the two cities on June 1, 1916. Mail service initially made one round trip per day, later increased to three round trips daily. The company's offices were relocated to a new building in Sand Springs in 1920.
By 1940, the Sand Springs Railway handled a total of more than 1 million passengers each year, along with approximately 11,000 freight cars. The company counted 125 employees, and served 85 different customers along its line. In 1940, the fare for a trip between Sand Springs and Tulsa was ten cents, and five cents for shorter trips, unchanged from the fares charged when the company started operations in 1911. Fares were further discounted by half for many groups, including schoolchildren and scouts, while first responders and mail carriers were granted free fares. Interurban service ran day and night, with so-called "owl cars" running after dark. Every day, 136 passenger trips were scheduled to operate, on a rush hour frequency of every ten minutes, with service every 20 minutes at all other times.
Freight-only operations (1955–1987)
In September 1954, the company announced it was ending its interurban service, selling the rights to a bus company; service was to end as soon as sufficient bus equipment arrived. When the final passenger train operated on January 2, 1955, it was the last interurban operating in Oklahoma. Writing in 1961, a local newspaper opined that the "line might still be running today if the company could have secured a more direct entry into downtown Tulsa". Freight business remained busy on the Sand Springs Railway, despite the end of passenger operations. Dieselization took place around the same time as electric operations ended, with the company replacing steam power with three new EMD SW900s in 1956.
Traffic continued to be strong in the 1970s, with the company identified as one of the most profitable railroads in the United States. All profit from the company was used to support the children's home built by Page, which fully owned the railroad company. In 1975, the Sand Springs Railway counted over 70 customers along its line, and also benefitted from an exclusive franchise originally established by Page. The railroad's president also cited the dedication of its employees, which while being fully unionized had never gone on strike, to supporting the children's home.
The Sand Springs Home was required to sell the Sand Springs Railway in December 1986, citing federal tax laws.
Steel mill ownership (1987–2014)
The railroad was acquired by HMK Incorporated in 1987. The Sand Springs Railway joined nine other railroads operating in Oklahoma in a lawsuit against the State of Oklahoma and Governor Henry Bellmon in 1989, alleging that the state was unfairly taxing railroad companies.
Railroad operations were temporarily halted on April 18, 1991, by the nationwide 1991 United States railroad strike, with the majority of the company's workforce (21 employees, of which 18 were union members) joining the strike. The company's manager told The Daily Oklahoman "We won't operate until they go back to work". The strike was forced by the federal government to end within 24 hours of it starting.
In 1993, it was bought by Sheffield Steel, which operated a melt shop and rolling mill in the city of Sand Springs, later declaring bankruptcy. The railroad was then bought by a subsidiary of Gerdau Ameristeel Corporation in 2006. The steel mill was shuttered by Gerdau in 2009, but rail operations continued for other customers.
OmniTRAX (2014–present)
Shortline railroad holding company OmniTRAX purchased the Sand Springs Railway in June 2014, with OmniTRAX's CEO citing the diverse mix of industry in the Tulsa area as a reason for the purchase. OmniTRAX began operations on July 1, 2014, marking the first time in several decades the railroad was run by a railroad company, rather than a steel mill. As of 2021, the Sand Springs Railway operates of track. The company is classified as a class III railroad by the Surface Transportation Board.
Preservation
Sand Springs 68, an interurban car built by the Cincinnati Car Company, operated on the Sand Springs Railway from 1932 until the end of passenger operations in 1955. The car was rescued from a Tulsa area scrapyard by Illinois Railway Museum volunteers and brought to the museum in 1967 on a flatcar. Initially only the shell of the car remained, but following a 40 year long restoration effort by museum volunteer Bob Kutella, Sand Springs 68 operated under its own power in 2004 and has operated at the museum since.

Digswell Arts Trust was the brainchild of Henry Morris, a pioneering educationalist. Through his enthusiasm, dedication and influence he persuaded the Government and the Welwyn Garden City Development Corporation to establish a Trust for professional artists in Welwyn Garden City, England.
It was formally inaugurated by Countess Mountbatten on 29 May 1957.
Early years
Digswell House, a decayed Regency mansion with cottages and outbuildings on the edge of Welwyn Garden City, was the first home of the Trust.
The house was leased to the Trust to provide accommodation and studios for artists at a modest rent.
The first artists moved in at the end of 1957 and over the next 27 years nearly 150 were accommodated there.
Some, including Michael Andrews, Ralph Brown, John Brunsdon, James Butler, Peter Collingwood, Hans Coper, Lol Coxhill, Elizabeth Fritsch and John W Mills have become internationally famous.
Many other distinguished people including - Henry Moore, Herbert Read, and Roland Penrose, supported the Trust by becoming Trustees or in other important ways.
In the early 1980s the Trust was financially unable to continue at Digswell House which was sold for refurbishment and was divided into a number of separate apartments.
1980s to present day
Attimore Hall Barn, a restored 17th century listed building in the Panshangar area of Welwyn Garden City, had been leased in 1979 by the Trust as additional studio space. The Barn became the Trust's base from 1984 until April 2006.
English Partnerships had by then taken control of the barn planning to convert it to housing. They worked with the Trust to design a new purpose-built studio building on the site of the former forge in Digswell, on which a 25-year lease was taken in April 2006.
In 1993 the Stevenage Borough Council leased the Fairlands Valley Farmhouse to the Trust nearly doubling the available studio space. In 2012, with the support of Letchworth Heritage Foundation, the Trust opened its third studio premises in Fenners Building, Openshaw Way, Letchworth. The new building brings the number of artists supported by the Trust to 45 in 2015.

RAI
February 26 – March 3: Sanremo festival, hosted by Raffaella Carrà and Enrico Papi, won by Elisa with Luce (tramonti a nord est). The contest does not get its usual public success and is panned by critics. Particularly, the Placebo's vocalist Brian Molko, who brokes a guitar on stage, and the co-presenter Enrico Papi who, during a linkup with Buenos Aires, mocks the principal of the Italian schools in Argentina for her Southern accent, arouse scandal.
March 1: in the D+ package, debut of the channel RaiSat Fiction, dedicated to the best of European fiction.
March 14: two months before the election the journalist Marco Travaglio, presenting his book L’odore dei soldi (The money's aroma) at the Daniele Luttazzi's show Satyricon, accuses Silvio Berlusconi and Marcello Dell’Utri of financial liaisons with Cosa Nostra, citing an almost inedited Paolo Borsellino's interview. The program causes very harsh reactions by the House of Freedom, which charges RAI of politic partiality and defamation; two RAI board members, near to the party, resign in protest. Luttazzi is criticized also by leftist politics, as Luciano Violante, but defended by the RAI president Roberto Zaccaria; its show goes on after a one-week suspension.
March 16: two day after the "Travaglio affair", Michele Santoro too, in his program Il raggio verde, treats the presumed liaisons with Cosa Nostra of men near to Silvio Berlusconi; the political leader himself phone to the host and has, live, an harsh squabble with him, saying: "Congratulations for your process on air". Indro Montanelli too is attacked by the House of Freedom, for the severe judgments about his former editor Berlusconi given in TV interviews with Alain Elkann and Enzo Biagi.
April 26: launch of RAI MED, satellite channel in Italian and Arabic.
May 8: five day before the election, Silvio Berlusconi, guest of Porta a porta, signs live the Contract with the Italians; during the electoral campaign, he has obstinately avoided a face to face in television with the center-left leader Francesco Rutelli, preferring to appear in programs hosted by friendly journalists, as Maurizio Costanzo and Bruno Vespa. The Berlusconi's move, however demagogic, is revealed to be effective and May 13 House of Freedom wins the election.
20-l–21 July: RAI news and magazines follow, often live, the riots and the street clashes in Genoa for the 27th G8 summit. At 6 PM on the 20th, a special edition of TG1 announces the death of a young protester, whose name (Carlo Giuliani) is made public in the evening, in a special edition of Porta a porta. The next day, TG3 airs an interview to Giuliani's father, who asks for the end of the violence.
October 22: Roberto Benigni's Life is beautiful, broadcast by RAI Uno, is the most seen movie in the history of Italian Television, with more than 16 million viewiers.
November 20: the First Lady Franca Ciampi, on the Grinzane Cavour Prize, says to a public of teen-agers: "Read, read, don’t waste time with that deficient television, Zaccaria [the RAI president] pardon me"; the expression "deficient television" becomes soon customary. Already previously, Mrs. Ciampi had called the presenter Enrico Papi "a cretin" for his behaviour at the Sanremo festival.
Mediaset
January 8: in the Stream package, debut of MT (Time Machine), channel of popular science produced by Mediaset and directed by Alessandro Cecchi Paone.

September 22: debut of the talent show Saranno famosi (later, Amici di Maria De Filippi).
20 December: the financial promoter Flavio Montrucchio wins the second season of Grande Fratello; he had entered in the reality show replacing another contender, who had renounced not suffering the restrictions about smoke. Also Montrucchio, as Pietro Taricone the year before, exploits its popularity to pursue a career as actor and showman.
Telecom

June 24: TMC changes name in La7. The new channel and MTV Italia, both owned by Telecom, aspire to become the third pole of Italian television, able to compete with RAI and Mediaset and engaging TV stars as Fabio Fazio, Giuliano Ferrara and Gad Lerner (who diriges the news program, TG La7). A show from Milan and Rome (Prima serata) hosted by Fazio and Luciana Litizzetto, celebrates the new deal, besides the A. S. Roma's scudetto.
July 18: Roberto Colanino, due to the growing debit, is forced to yield Telecom to Olimpia, a company controlled by Marco Tronchetti Provera and the Benetton family. With the new owners, the project of a third TV pole is greatly scaled down; La 7 becomes a niche channel, focused on information.

The Shantinath Jain Teerth, also known as Shri 1008 Shantinath Digambar Jain Mandir, is a Jain temple located in Indapur, Pune, Maharashtra. The design and architecture of the temple is patterned after that of South Indian temples. The temple is known for its 27-foot tall granite idol of Shri 1008 Munisuvrata, the twentieth Tirthankara. The number 1008 is significant in Jainism and is associated with the Tirthankaras. The temple is sometimes called the Golden Temple because of its golden facade.
The Temple
Architecture
The architecture draws inspiration from South Indian temples, and the temple has a 31 foot high tower, known as the Shikhar, modeled after the Shikhar of Mel Sithamur Jain Math. It is quadrangular in shape, constructed using reinforced concrete and the facade is painted golden by artists from Mamallapuram. The tower houses an idol of Mahavira made of brass.
Altar
Idols are placed on a Vedi, equivalent to Altar, in Jain temples. The main Vedi in Shantinath Jain Teerth has an arch with carvings of Jain gods on it and a rectangular base made of white marble. The idol of Shantinatha on the Vedi is flanked by a Yaksha and a Yakshini. The base has carvings of lions and elephants, Ashtamangala and Ashta Pratiharya (the eight symbols of the Tirthankara), and the sixteen auspicious dreams of Shantinatha's mother. The carvings are painted in various colours.
Three more Vedis exist in the Shantinath Jain Teerth for other idols:
Manibhadra Kshetrapal Maharaj: A Yaksha.
Padmavati Devi : A Yakshini
Saraswati Devi: The goddess of Knowledge. The idols bears Jinvani, a Jain book, in its hand. The idol includes a lotus and a peacock, symbols often associated with the goddess.
Jain idols
Shantinatha made of white marble.
Vasupujya made of red stone.
Parshvanatha made of white marble.
Mahavira made of brass and copper.
Munisuvrata made of granite.
Column of Honour
The Manastambha or column of honour is 31 feet high and made of Albeta marble from Makrana. The column symbolizes humility in Jain philosophy. Its imposing presence is meant to vanquish the arrogance of devotees.
Munisuvrata
Munisuvrata was the 20th Tirthankara, regarded as the god of Shani Graha or the planet Saturn. The 27 feet tall idol of Munisuvrata in Shantinath Jain Teerth is made of granite stone like in Shravanabelagola. It weighs 30 tons and is erected on a base 20 feet wide. It is the main attraction of the temple. The stone was brought from the outskirts of Bangalore and sculpted by artists from Jaipur. The sculpting was completed in two years. The Jain community in Indapur organizes an annual Rathotsava and Mahamastakabhisheka of the Munisuvrata idol.
Location
Indapur city is in the Pune district in Maharashtra, India. It is 135 km from Pune, 110 km from Solapur, 60 km from Pandharpur, 300 km from Mumbai, and 1400 km from Delhi.
Transport
Road: National Highway 9 Pune to Solapur.
Railway: Nearest railway stations are Daund 60 km, Kurduvadi 90 km, Pune 135 km .

Omron Adept Technology, Inc. is a multinational corporation with headquarters in Pleasanton, California (San Francisco Bay Area). The company focus on industrial automation and robotics, including software and vision guidance. Adept has offices throughout the United States as well as in Dortmund, Germany, Paris, France, and Singapore. Adept was acquired by Omron in October 2015.
Company history
Adept was founded in 1983, having formerly been the West Coast Division of Unimation, which became part of Westinghouse after being a division of Consolidated Diesel Electronic (Condec) for many years. However, Adept's roots go back almost 10 years earlier, when company founders Bruce Shimano and Brian Carlisle, both Stanford graduate students, started to work with Victor Scheinman at Stanford's AI lab.
In 2000, Adept Technology acquired Pensar Tucson Inc.
In 2015, Omron acquired Adept Technology.
Today, the company is active in a variety of industries requiring high speed, precision part handling including food handling, consumer product and electronics, packaging, medical and lab automation, automotive, as well as emerging markets like solar manufacturing.
Robots
In 1984, the company introduced its first product, the AdeptOne SCARA robot.
Around 2004, Adept introduced table-top SCARA robots called the Adept Cobra i600/i800, with the system and servo controls, and the power amplifiers, embedded in the base of the robot. The related Adept Cobra s600/s800 models employ an external controller (with the servo controls and amplifiers still in the robot base) to achieve greater system functionality. These robots are claimed to be the fastest robots in their class.
In 2006, Adept released its new delta-4 robot, the Adept Quattro. It is based on a new concept (invented by French and Spanish researchers and described in the European patent EP 1 870 214 B1 ) of delta-style robot mechanism that has four arms versus the traditional three-arm design. The rotation is achieved through a parallel platform.
In 2010, Adept purchased MobileRobots Inc, maker of autonomous platforms and guidance software for research and industrial applications. After purchase by Omron, these intelligent vehicles became the Omron Adept LD series.
Adept also offers Adept Python linear-module robots with one to four axes in various configurations, and six-axis Adept Viper articulated robots.
In 2014, Adept partnered with ROEQ and released the Adept Lynx LD autonomous mobile robot, calling it the "cart transporter".
Vision software
Scott Roth of the West Coast Division of Unimation implemented an interface to the Machine Intelligence Corporation (MIC) vision system VS-100 in early 1981. It was a binary system using blob (connectivity) analysis. Unimation's first vision system was called Univision I for PUMA robots.
When the West Coast Division of Unimation split off to become Adept Technology, Scott continued to develop the robot vision system under an agreement whereby Adept agreed to grant back software enhancements to Unimation over a period of 2 years. This agreement also applied to VAL, the robot programming language then used for the PUMA robots. Adept called the vision system AdeptVision. Scott was joined by Fred Andresen in 1984, who wrote some vision tools and AIM VisionWare, the GUI.
AdeptVision is probably the first commercially available robot vision system that achieved sales in the thousands of units. AdeptVision included many vision-related operations for image capture, enhancement, and analysis. It provided machine guidance with robot-vision calibration and supported on-line gauging and assembly verification. Provided functionality included rulers (line and arc), windows (rectangular, round, annulus, and pie-shaped regions of interest), feature finders (line and arc fitters), normalized grayscale correlation, blob analysis, processing tools (gradient or Sobel edge detection, thresholding, morphology, image subtraction, histogram, frame copy, pan & zoom, and convolutions), and feature-based recognition. The rotation and scale invariant ObjectFinder was patented.
The “ruler” created by Fred Andresen is an important metrology tool that locates edges along a line or arc with sub-pixel accuracy. The linear version operates in any orientation and is the basis of the line and arc fitters, providing high accuracy in grayscale images.
AdeptVision systems ranged from binary linescan for conveyor belts to binary and grayscale 2-D images. The system controllers evolved from the Q-bus to the Multibus to the VME bus. The first system consisted of the DEC LSI-11/23 CPU, EG&G Reticon line camera, camera interface board that included a run-length processor, a Peritek display processor board (512 x 512 x 1 bitmap), and a B&W display/terminal.
The various versions of the vision systems over time included AdeptVision I [256 x 241 x 1-bit binary], AdeptVision II [375 x 483 x 1-bit binary], AdeptVision ML [256 x 1-bit for moving line], -XGS [509 x 481 x 7-bit grayscale], -XGS II [509 x 481 x 7-bit grayscale], -AGS [512 x 484 x 8-bit grayscale], -AGS II, -AGS-GV [512 x 484 x 8-bit grayscale], -VME [640 x 480 or 1024 x 1024 x 7-bit grayscale], and -VXL. The AdeptVision XGS and AGS systems were particularly popular in Adept's early history, with 1000 AdeptVision AGS systems alone having been shipped as of January 25, 1993.
Hardware and software history
Adept has its own robot control operating system, V+, which has come to version 17.x by 2009. The history of V+ dates back to the days of Unimation. At the time it was called VAL (Victor's Assembly Language), which evolved into VAL-II and VAL-III later. After the formation of Adept, the rights to parts of the OS were granted to Adept by Unimation as described above..
The Adept OS at that time was called V, and it ran on the refrigerator-sized controllers that were based on the MultiBus technology. Around 1986 the Adept MC controller was introduced; while still based on the MultiBus, it was smaller than the original controller. After the Adept MC controller (around 1990), came the Adept MV controller, which was based on the VME backplane technology. Then around 2000 the SmartController CS/CX controllers were introduced, which are current production as of 2009.
Along with the changes of the controller itself, the servo controls also saw major improvements over the years. Around 200x, with the V+ version reaching ver.14, the servo amplifier and controls were part of the robot, and hence separated from the main robot controller itself. This is when distributed controls were introduced by the company. The idea of having the amplifier and servo controls in the base of the robot was named AIB (Amplifier in Base). Adept still follows the AIB mantra, and has an AIB in the latest robot, Adept Quattro, reducing the footprint of the robot/manipulator/controller system.
Controls
The Adept core business continues to be motion control. Its SmartController CX integrates motion controller, vision guidance, and interfaces to factory networks.

General Jasim Mohammed Saleh Habib (not to be confused with sahwa leader Jasim Mohammad Saleh Suwaidawi) was an Iraqi level-2 Baathist who commanded the Iraqi Army under Saddam Hussein. After US forces failed to capture Fallujah, they turned control of the city over to Saleh, and his own private militia in the hope that he could restore order to the city.
A former chief-of-staff for a Republican Guard brigade who later commanded the Iraqi 38th Infantry Division, Saleh was stationed in Amarah in 1991 to help quell a Shia uprising.
Saleh agreed to formally report to US General James T. Conway, who had arranged the transfer without conferring with US superiors. There was less than a week's discussion about the deal, after Saleh approached the US Marines promising that he could bring the city under control.
A native of Fallujah, Saleh was a prominent member of the city's largest tribe and closely related to its leader.
Upon entering the city as with 200 troops, Saleh was wearing his Republican Guard uniform and waving the Flag of Iraq, which had just been abolished by the Iraqi Governing Council several days earlier. He also had a large flag placed at the entrance to the city.
Saleh drew controversy on May 2, just days after the handover of power, when he stated that there were no foreign fighters in Fallujah. This, combined with the discovery that Saleh had been involved in atrocities against Kurds during the Iran–Iraq War, led to US military authorities announcing he would not be allowed to lead his private militia any longer. Two days later it was announced that Muhammed Latif would be given control of the city instead.

(The First)
The main male protagonist of the series and the First Diary user. Also known as , he is a reclusive and shy 14-year-old middle school student, opting to be a bystander to incidents around him to write about them in a diary on his cell phone instead. He becomes involved as one of 12 contestants in a 90-day battle royale when, to his shock, his imaginary friend Deus turned out to be a real God of Space-Time, planning to have the sole survivor of the game succeed his throne. Yuki's ordinary diary becomes the , a diary capable of predicting future events happening around him from his point of view. While versatile in any situation, the diary does not state what happens to Yuki himself, and since it is written from his point of view, the entries may not always be accurate.
Unlike most of the contestants, Yuki wishes for a simple, peaceful life. Because Deus considers him a personal favourite to win, he is mainly targeted by other Diary users. Knowing he is weak, cowardly and naïve, he quickly makes friends and allies. One of these is Yuno Gasai, an obsessive stalker who is madly in love with him and will kill to protect both of them. His goal is to not kill anyone; however this outlook has changed when his divorced parents are killed because of the game and Yuno convinces him that becoming the God of Space-Time can bring them back, becoming a ruthless and dishonest player.
Eventually he learns of Yuno's true origins and intentions, finally stepping out of his role as a constant bystander to intervene in changing her future, including those of the other Diary owners that led terrible, unfortunate lives.

(The Ninth)
The secondary female protagonist, the Ninth Diary user and the protagonist of the side-story manga, Future Diary: Mosaic. An infamous atheist terrorist, Minene is a young woman who has hatred against organized religion, particularly on any belief towards God.

Blaming God for her parents death, she leads a crusade of destruction against those associated with God. Minene got involved in the Diary game when after a failed assassination to kill a Catholic Cardinal, where as she tried to flee, she almost fell to her death but was saved by Deus who gave her an offer to save her if she join his game. Minene's diary is the , which will chart out the best course of actions for her to escape whenever she finds herself in a dangerous situation. While it means she can escape anything, it is not perfect as the diary can only tell her how to escape if there are favorably conditions that allow her any chance to escape.
Originally, she wants to win the game to destroy religion worldwide but later change her mind after befriending Yuki and his friends. While she began as an antagonist against Yuki, she later became his ally, becoming a big sister figure to him and both of them hold no animosity with each other despite Minene being responsible for the destruction and deaths at his school and Yuki blinding her left eye. She shares an interesting relationship with Masumi Nishijima of the police whom she met during her failed assassination of the cardinal.

Wanting to avenge Nishijima's death, Minene has a gun fight with Yuki. Despite having the advantage, she is unable to kill him as Yuki reminds her of her younger self, allowing Yuki to shoot her. Knowing that she does not have much time to live, she decides to help Yuki by blowing herself up to open the bank vault where the Eleventh is hiding in.
She fails to blow up the vault, but survives the blast, and revealed before they invade the twin tower buildings, Deus transferred his knowledge and half of his power to her, thus preventing her death. Minene rescues Yuki and travels with him to the Third World to stop Yuno from killing her other self. She also contacts Keigo Kurusu and warns him of his son's fatal heart disease, altering the future. Minene survives the final battle, and is shown to be living happily with the Third World Nishijima while having children who have inherited her godly powers and can fly, though she still stayed in contact with Deus and Murumuru.
She is named after the Roman goddess Minerva.
Aru Akise
The secondary male protagonist and the protagonist of the side-story manga, Future Diary: Paradox. One of Yuki's new friends at his new school, Aru is a genius with amazing investigation skills and wants to be a great detective. He becomes involved in the Diary Game to learn the mysteries surrounding it and protect Yuki. Aru has feelings for Yuki that are beyond that of friendship, which angers Yuno. As the games continue, Aru becomes suspicious of Yuno and tries to find out what secrets is she hiding from Yuki. He soon discovers Yuno's origins but also his own when he learns about his creation by Deus as an "observer" to keep on eye on the contestant. He receives the Detective Diary from the Eighth Diary user which can make predictions based on the predictions of the other diaries. It is nearly a perfect diary, except when accounting for Aru's feelings towards Yuki, meaning he can act against what would be a perfect outcome. It also cannot detect the difference between diaries from other universes, which Yuno exploits to defeat him. Despite losing to Yuno, he continues to help Yuki and gives him the clue on Yuno's identity before she decapitates him. In the Third World, Aru is seen alive and continues as Deus' observer, with Reisuke as his detective-in-training.
Aru is the protagonist of Paradox, set in an alternate timeline after Murumuru accidentally kills Yuno and Yuki is mortally wounded by Takao Hiyama. Aru and Murumuru take their respective places as First and Second until Murumuru's alterations have been fixed. However, as the game progresses, Aru sees the horrors of it and decides to save everyone to stop the game. Altering the events of the incident with Tsubaki Kasugano, Aru is able to make allies with a majority of the diary owners. However, his attempt to stop Murumuru from erasing the timeline fails when he stumbles across Yuno and how she killed her Second World counterpart, before being cast back to the start of the survival game.
He has many parallels with Bacchus, including being created from a god and gaining supernatural insight later in life.
Diary Game contestants and judges
Diary Holders
Takao Hiyama
(The Third)
The Third Diary user. Takao is Yuki's school teacher who is secretly a serial killer who wears a heavy bulletproof trenchcoat with a hat and mask that hides his identity. Takao's diary is the which gives him details on who his next victims are and where and how he kills them. While the diary helps him locate his victims and prevent them from escaping, it does not tell him what to do if his victims will fight back thus he can be easily defeated. Takao figured out that Yuki holds a diary as well because Yuki used his diary to improve his grades. Takao heads to Yuki's apartment to kill him but, Yuno shows up and takes him to the roof. Yuno uses her phone as a surveillance camera so Yuki can see where Takao is through his own phone while sitting on the roof's ledge. Yuno runs out of the corner to surprise and distract Takao, while Yuki pops up to attack him. He was killed when Yukiteru pierced his diary with a dart.
It is revealed by Murumuru that Takao repeatedly accidentally killed himself when she was presenting him with his Future Diary. First was when he thought she was a witness to his recent killing and sliced the phone, and then thinking the phone was evidence, he destroyed it again. She admitted she suspected he would be the first to go because of his paranoid personality.
In the alternate universe, he is captured by Yomotsu Hirasaka, and put in prison in the anime.
His surname, Hiyama (literally "fire mountain") comes from the Roman god Vulcan.
Keigo Kurusu
(The Fourth)
The Fourth Diary user. Keigo is a police captain who was chosen for the Diary Game to balance out the other Diary users who were much worse. A composed and calm person, Keigo has no interest in the game and wants to find a way to stop it before more people get hurt, subsequently becoming Yuki's ally. His diary is the , which gives him details of crimes that will happen within the next 90 days, but it cannot predict the future of an investigation done by someone other than himself.
He is introduced helping Yuki and Yuno against Minene after she terrorize their school and latter forms an alliance with them to find and stop the other Diary users. Thanks to his position, he provides police intel for Yuki and Yuno. Later, he joins them to the Omekata cult's shrine where its leader, Tsubaki has held Minene prisoner. While offering Minene to the trio in exchange for help avoiding her own Dead End, they are attacked by Tsubaki's hypnotized cult under the Twelfth's control. At this point, Keigo goes to retrieve Minene, and the two are forced to watch as the Twelfth is killed and Tsubaki betrays Yuki and Yuno, only to die herself. After the battle Keigo helps Minene escape in exchange she becomes his informant and protect his son who is hospitalized due to his condition.
But upon learning that his son's condition is not improving and will die in several weeks, Keigo, desperate to save his son's life, decides to play and win the game. After killing the Tenth Diary user Karyuudo (making him the only Diary user aside from Yuki or Yuno to kill another contestant in the Survival game), he frames Yuki and Yuno for trying to kill him and has the police go on a manhunt for them with orders to shoot to kill on sight. Yuki and Yuno hides at the hospital where Keigo's wife and son are. Minene helps Keigo, but finds out Keigo will kill her after she does so she creates a new future diary alliance with them.

But unbeknownst to him, Minene was able to sneak out and tells Masumi of what Keigo really did. After a standoff between him and Yuki, Yuki shoots Keigo, wounding him. Masumi places Keigo under arrest, rendering his Investigation Diary useless. Keigo realizes he cannot kill a child and kills himself by destroying his Future Diary. Before dying, he apologizes to Yuki for betraying him and tells Minene to protect his family. Later on, Murumuru revealed that she had warned Keigo about his son's condition to "speed things up", with Deus noting that Fourth was a good candidate to be the last man standing.
Murumuru meets Keigo in a cafe where she tells him he has been chosen to receive a future diary. Keigo tells his backstory about why he became a detective and accepts the phone.
He appears in the alternate universe, being contacted by Minene about his son's cardiac illness, thus changing his future. He confronts the original Yuno when she prepares to murder her Third World counterpart and her family, and fires a bullet at her. Yuki and the Second World Murumuru appear, blocking the bullet, with Keigo silently witnessing the ending events of the survival game. Keigo is later seen two years on with his wife and son.
He alludes to the Roman god Mercury.
Reisuke Houjou
(The Fifth)
The Fifth Diary user. Reisuke is a five-year-old boy who is very intelligent for his age and a diabolical mind. He sometimes speaks in third person with his hand puppets whom he talks with. Reisuke's diary is the , a coloring book that gives a small summary of the activities that he may perform for the day. However, his diary only shows three entries for the day during the morning, noon, and night. Despite this limit, Reisuke has all three entries at the same time which allows him to ample time so he can carefully plot his next move and be at the right place and time. Reisuke can draw on his Future Diary, giving him some source material other than writing.
Reisuke's parents were members of the Omekata cult who both later committed mass suicide after the police raided their temple. However, Reisuke claims he never loved his parents since they neglected him and wants to win the game to be a "Super Elite" to prove he does not need to depend on adults. But despite these claims, Minene learned Reisuke did love his parents and was devastated when they died. After his parents' death, Mrs. Amano takes care of Reisuke for a few days, as she was a friend of his father. He had grown a fondness to Mrs. Amano, even calling her, "Mama Rea". Due to the fact Yuki and Yuno were responsible for the incident that led to the police raid at the Omekata temple, Reisuke plans to kill them first, holding them responsible for his parents' deaths yet at the same time, he grows fond of them in a uniquely sadistic way, even calling them big brother and big sister.
Reisuke's first attempt at Yuno's life is when he is running around with scissors and slips on the rug. He lands into Yuno's chest, thinking he stabbed her, but she reveals that he stabbed a zabuton instead. After that, Reisuke planned to shower with Yuno by starting a bath, mixing it with salt, and grabbing electrical wires, in hopes to electrocute Yuno to death. With Yuki's Future Diary, he is able to stop Reisuke's plan by causing a power shortage in the house. Yuki and Yuno are on to Reisuke and try to stop him by taking away his Future Diary. Yuno planned to kill Reisuke with hammers but instead, hits Yuki's mom in the back of her neck and causes her to knock out. The day before, Reisuke went to the store with Yuki's mother and mailed his Future Diary to the house. When Yuki intercepts the package and opens it, Reisuke puts on a gas mask and poison gas fills the house. Yuno quickly grabs Yuki into the bathroom to save him. Reisuke has an antidote and tells Yuno to play hide-and-seek for it. With a handkerchief to cover her mouth from the poison, Yuno sets off to find Reisuke but runs into a few tricks and traps along the way. Successfully, Reisuke is able to fill the staircase with water and electrocute Yuno. As Reisuke is about to inject Yuno with poison, Yuki throws a dart at his arm. He and his diary was then stabbed by Yuno. Right before he died, he hands Yuno the antidote and reminds her that only one can win the game.
Murumuru hands Reisuke a diary after playing with him in a park.
As a result of the future change made by Yuki in the alternate universe, Tsubaki and the cult no longer become what they were, this in turn prevents the death of his parents and they become a happy family.
Hōjō means "fertility", linking him to Ceres.
Tsubaki Kasugano
(The Sixth)
The Sixth Diary user. A physically inept girl with bad eyesight, she is the leader of the where she serves as the group's priestess. The scroll she carries is actually her Future Diary, the which allows her to read what her followers see. She fears traitors from within.
Tsubaki is introduced after Yuki, Yuno and Keigo are invited to her cult's shrine, while in a cage, to help deal with a Diary user who is disguising himself as one of her followers and planning to kill her in exchange she surrenders Minene to them after her cult captured her. Yuki agrees to help her due to her condition and Tsubaki's claim she has no interests in winning the game much to Yuno's jealousy. When the Twelfth diary user Yomotsu takes action to kill Tsubaki by hypnotizing her followers, Yuki and Yuno protects her and kills Yomotsu. However, Tsubaki betrays everyone, revealing she was using Minene as bait to lure them so she could trap and kill them and tells Yuki that she lied about not being interested in the game as she wants to win and end the world as she hates it.
Her parents who were the original leaders of the cult, a religion designed to save the weak and to never give in to wicked thoughts or acts. After her parents were killed in a car crash, Tsubaki became the priestess. However, the cult's second-in-command took over and had Tsubaki locked away in a cage, allowing the male members of the cult to rape her. The only thing keeping her sane was a handball given to her by her mother, which she eventually loses, causing her to become resentful and wish for the world to end as compensation for her suffering. After Yuno helps Yuki escape by cutting off Tsubaki's right hand, Yuki goes into hiding until Tsubaki orders him to show himself or her cult will rape Yuno. Yuki charges into the room where Tsubaki and Yuno are and distracts everyone by throwing a ball, the ball Tsubaki lost, into the air. With her followers distracted by the ball and Tsubaki unable to close her scroll with one hand, Yuki throws a dart at her Future Diary. Before her death, Tsubaki cries it was unfair that her ball came back now when she needed it the most.
Murumuru hands Tsubaki a diary after mocking her blindness by making herself at home in Tsubaki's cell.
As Yuki changes the future of the Third World Yuno, this causes the future of the other participants to change as well. Before Tsubaki's parents going out for a drive, she tell them to wait as there's something going on in the city. As a result, the cult is able to find a bomb installed in the car of her parents and capture the second-in-command of the cult, thus preventing her from suffering the horrible life she had in the original world. Two years later, Tsubaki tries to capture Aru's affections.
In Future Diary: Paradox, Aru, who replaces Yuki as the First Diary user is ordered by Murumuru to reenacted the events above but instead, Aru refuses and does things differently by having Ai and Orin help him distract Murumuru and the Omekata cult so he can bring Tsubaki out of the cult's shrine. With Aru, Tsubaki learns from his investigations that her parents were actually murdered by the cult's second-in-command because her parents wanted to end the cult and give Tsubaki a normal life. Due to his kindness and him teaching her that despite what she had gone through, there was still some good in the world, Tsubaki falls in love with Aru.
Her actions are closest to Proserpina, including her imprisonment near Pluto and her sexual abuse.
Tsubaki is also likely inspired by Apollo, the god associated with the sun and prophecy. Tsubaki is the oracle of the Omekata cult, alleged to have clairvoyance. Adittionally, her name contains the kanji for sun (日).
Marco Ikusaba and Ai Mikami
and (The Seventh)
Marco voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (Japanese), Brad Hawkins (English) Ai voiced by: Natsuko Kuwatani (Japanese), Jamie Marchi (English)
Originally assumed to be two separate Diary users, Marco and Ai are in fact both the Seventh Diary user. When first introduced, Marco and Ai were using apprentice diaries which were assumed by Yuki and his allies as their real Future diaries with Marco's predicting attacks before they happened, while Ai's locates any man she wants to flirt in the future. Their real diaries are the which report each other's immediate future. The couple displays excellent teamwork as they use their diaries to cover each other's weaknesses. Their diary's weakness is that it reports what the other couple does in unspecified details. It leaves room for jealousy if the other is speaking with the opposite gender and reports what emotion and thought they have of the other.
When Ai was little, she was abandoned by her parents in the Sakurami Tower. There, she meets Marco and Kamado. As they grew older, Ai started following Marco around school. Marco got into a lot of fights while Ai kept a diary of Marco in her phone. Ai's classmates became annoyed and creeped by this so they put a letter in her locker saying it was Marco and to meet her in an abandoned factory. When she arrived, boys from her school put a bag over her head and raped her. Marco had a bad feeling about Ai when she did not pick up her phone and had a feeling she was at the abandoned factory. As Marco arrived, he sees Ai being violated and beats up then kills the boys. After, they promise to protect each other and kiss.
Ai appeared early in the series working undercover as member of the Omekata cult with her friend Orin Miyashiro to spy on Tsubaki. She returns later, this time with her boyfriend, Marco to eliminate the threat that of Yuki and Yuno. Marco and Ai are orphans who fell in love with each other after Ai was adopted by Kamado Ueshita, Marco's guardian. Their devotion is so strong that they want to win the game so they can become God and live for eternity together. Marco and Ai meet Yuki while passing by him in a car. They missed their chance to kill him but try again later when Yuki and his friends plan to cut off cellphone service so they cannot use their apprentice diaries. Yuno shows up and is about to ruin the plan until Yuki ties her up. Yuki and Yuno are cornered in the attic with Marco and Ai. Yuki's friends cut the telephone line thinking they have disabled the couple's apprentice phone until they take out their future diaries. Much to their surprise, Yuki unties Yuno as Ai throws knives at them. Yuno takes the knife that was used to cut the ropes and deflects Ai's knives with hers. Marco and Ai flee and burn down the house that was used as bait. As the house is burning, Marco and Ai re-enter the house to fight Yuki and Yuno. Yuno and Ai enter into battle. Yuno deflects Ai's knives once again and is about to stab Ai until Marco intervenes and gets stabbed in the shoulder. Marco enraged by Yuki's apparent lack of concern for Yuno, unaware she had previously kidnapped and drugged Yuki. Marco takes Yuki's and Yuno's future diaries and tells them to come to a tower with Yuki's father. Marco demands Yuki to fight him and rescue his dad and their future diaries but gets beat. During the fight, Yuki's father grabs his phone and breaks it, but it was a fake. Yuno attacks Ai and grabs their real phones back. Yuki's father does not understand that they are future diaries and was given a choice that if he broke Yuki's cellphone, his debt would be cleared by Bacchus. Marco explains why he did not break their phones is because, he likes to bully people he sees as "wusses". Ai is mortally wounded by Yuno as the tower collapses thanks to John Bacchus' intervention, Marco and Yuki working together to save Ai. Yuki's father runs off with Ai's parachute, leaving Yuki and Yuno on their own. Unwilling to live without Ai, Marco gives his single parachute to Yuki and Yuno to escape the tower, dying with Ai as the tower collapses.
Murumuru appears in Marco's and Ai's bed. Ai comes home and witnesses Murumuru in their bed and questions Marco as he comes out of the shower. Murumuru makes things up and causes trouble for the couple. She then hands them future diaries and the couple make up.
The two appear in the alternate universe, where Ai is seen pregnant after the survival game is averted.
Marco and Ai allude to the Roman gods Mars and Venus, respectively.
Kamado Ueshita
(The Eighth)
The Eighth Diary user. A large, strangely shaped woman, she is in charge of the "Mother's Home" orphanage where Marco, Ai and Orin were raised. Her diary, the , is actually a server that can be accessed by the people she allows in, giving each person their own "Apprentice Diary" that can predict the future in their own various ways. Kamado has no interest in the Diary Game as the only thing she cares about looking after her orphans. Her orphans want her to win as they love Kamado and will kill anyone who harms her.
Kamado is the only diary owner who has no interest in becoming god, and is a pacifist. However, she forms a brief alliance with Yuki to capture John Bacchus. Yuki turns against her, Yuno killing all of her children, prompting Kamado to flee with Bacchus. The two join forces to twist the game, using a supercomputer, HOLON III, and Kamado's diary to give every phone owner in Sakurami City the power of the apprentice diaries. Kamado eventually abandons the scheme when Aru saves her from Yuno, saving Aru in return by giving him an apprentice diary to avoid being killed by Deus ex Machina and then Yuno. Kamado is protected by Yuki's friend only for them all to be gunned down by the despairing Yuki. Kamado is then stabbed shortly after by Yuno, but she asks Yuki to create a new world where children do not have to worry.
Murumuru visits the orphanage and tells Kamado she has been chosen as a future diary owner. As Kamado leaves to grab some tea, Murumuru questions how her body functions with that shape and size. As Kamado enters the room with tea, Murumuru trips her but she flips and lands on her knees without spilling the tea.
She appears on the alternate universe receiving a phone call from Bacchus who decides to give support to the orphanage after learning he will die in the survival game, and the two appear to pursue a relationship.
She alludes to the Roman goddess Vesta.
Karyuudo Tsukishima
(The Tenth)
The Tenth Diary user. A rich man with elegant taste, Karyuudo is a dog breeder who loves and cares about his dogs so much that he neglects his family, to the point that his wife leaves him. His diary is the , which allows him to control his dogs to attack his enemies using his cellphone by voice command. However, it's the disadvantage is that the more dogs that user control, the greater concentration needed to command all of them which leaves the user vulnerable. Karyuudo manipulates his own daughter, Hinata, by telling her to attack Aru Akise, believing that Aru knew that Karyuudo was responsible for the recent savage murders. Also, that Aru was a Diary Holder, though he was mistaken on the latter. He pretends to form a closer kinship with his daughter to agree to this, though he was ultimately revealed to be using her. After his daughter fails to kill Aru, Karyuudo reveals his use for her and tells Hinata not to end up like her father before getting shot in the back of the head, he revealed that Keigo was his murderer to Hinata, Yuki, Yuno, and nearby friends.
Murumuru sneaks into Karyuudo's home and pretends to be a dog. After speaking with Karyuudo, she hands him a phone.
He appears in the alternate universe, with his future changed as Hinata takes a closer dedication to the dogs, this unites them and he no longer neglects his family.
He is named after the Roman goddess Diana, and his daughter takes on the role of Diana.
John Bacchus
(The Eleventh)
The Eleventh Diary user and final one to be introduced. Bacchus (Balks in the English dub) is the Mayor of Sakurami City and is mastermind behind the Diary Game as he was the one who convince Deus to create the battle royal that will determine Deus' successor. Bacchus diary is the Watcher Diary ("The Watcher" in the Japanese version) which enables him to read the other diary users entries including the Apprentice Diary users. The diary's powers can be countered if the user of the diary changes the information that comes up, before it is viewed on the Watcher Diary. A believer in Nazi ideology, Bacchus' main goal is to create a race of superior beings with him as their leader. Despite his ideology, he is a gentleman, befriending Kamado and inviting her to help him in his place to give everyone in Sakurami City the power of the Future Diaries.
He was Kurou Amano's employer who sent him to destroy Yuki's phone. After Kurou failed to accomplish his task, Bacchus has his men assassinate him. Yuki quickly vows revenge and launches an attack on Bacchus' forces located in a pair of identical business towers. Bacchus takes shelter in a bank vault, the bank once run by Yuno's parents. The only way to gain entry is through a retinal scanner which only he and the Gasai family can access, believing Yuno is unable to since Akise assumed she was an impersonator. Minene tries to blow apart the vault at the cost of her life, but fails. Yuno drags Yuki away, but returns, using the retinal scanner to enter the vault and kill Bacchus.
In the Third World created by Yuno, Bacchus' decision to create the Future Diaries is altered when he reads of his own death by observing Yuki's phone, cancelling out the survival game.
His surname directly refers to the Roman god Bacchus.
Yomotsu Hirasaka
(The Twelfth)
The Twelfth Diary user. Blind and insane, he is a vigilante who acts like a tokusatsu hero (such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai heroes) including wearing spandex and a large, round one eye mask. While claiming to be fighting for "Justice", his view of justice is very different as to him, justice is the one who wins. His tape recorder called the , has the ability to tell him what evil deeds that will happen in the future which range from normally criminal like plotting murder to the nonsensical like littering. Furthermore, his diary can hypnotize people by confusing them.
He captures the Ninth after her attack on the school, removing her damaged eye and presenting her to the Sixth's cult. He later stages an attack on Tsubaki and the other present Diary Holders by hypnotizing most of the cult to attack them while hiding in an underground base with the captured Minene. After the sprinklers are activated to stop the fire in the cage, all the cult members stop killing each other with Tsubaki's yelling. The Twelfth later uses a second wave of hypnotized followers and the followers that were pretending to be dead in the shrine. However, he is shocked to learn that Yuno Gasai figured out his plan and, upon hearing that his Dead End has been triggered, he swallows a bomb and attacks Tsubaki with four hypnotized followers dressed identically to him, aside from different colors on their masks in a suicide bombing. Yuno manages to discover which Twelfth is the real one by taking advantage of his blindness by pretending to throw a rock in one direction, but actually throwing it in the other, using his heightened hearing to her advantage. Yuno kills him by decapitating him and he praises her as victor before crashing out of sight and exploding. A running gag with him is his real face is never seen, at one point going as far as to wear two separate bags on his head so as to continue hiding it even after having it removed.
Murumuru hands Yomotsu a diary in exchange for 50 Yen.
He appears in the alternate universe and captures Takao Hiyama committing a crime. It can be guessed he continues his vigilante actions later on.
He alludes to the Roman god Pluto. His name is also a reference to the slope that descends into Yomi, the Japanese underworld.
Azami Kirisaki
(The Thirteenth)
The Thirteenth Diary Owner, who appears exclusively in the PSP visual novel, . She is seen dressed in a high school uniform and a yellow raincoat. She seeks to kill Takao Hiyama after he attacked and hospitalised her younger twin sister . She has the , a video camera which predicts what it will film before it films it.
Deities
Deus ex Machina
The God of Time and Space and the Diary Game overseer and creator. Yuki had always assumed that Deus was just his imaginary friend, only to learn that he was in fact real. Convinced by John Bacchus' partnership, Deus created the Diary Game to find a worthy successor to take over his place. The reason he creates the game is because his life is coming to an end. Deus seems to favor Yuki and most likely wants him as his successor. He also favors on Minene, transferring his knowledge and half of his power to her and thus, making his death approaching faster than anticipated. He admits that she is the only one he can rely on at that point in time, to stop First World Murumuru. He even tells her that she is correct when Minene asked if Eleventh's diary is the ability to spy on other people's diaries, since Deus believed John to create a new futuristic race.
In the Third World, the future diary survival game never happens. Deus breaks the wall of space-time, connecting a path to 10,000 years later in the future of the Second World, allowing Yuki and the Third World Yuno to succeed after him as gods.
Murumuru
Mur Mur in the English dubbed version, she is a brown, white haired girl with a black point-tipped tail who is Deus' servant. She has an almost chibi-like appearance and is dressed rather provocatively, wearing a closed pink vest, panty-like shorts, large wide-brimmed stockings and a large open-topped nurse cap with valentine-hearts printed on each side. She has a rather playful and nonchalant attitude toward Deus and the other Diary users. Most of the time she serves as the comic relief of the series. She poses as a major antagonist towards the end of both the main series and Future Diary: Paradox, scheming behind Deus for her own personal fun. Like Yuno, Murumuru originates from the First World, having enjoyed the survival game so much that she performs a time leap with Yuno to the Second World, traps her alternate self in Yuno's illusions, and gives Yuno her second Future Diary. After Deus dies, Murumuru declares herself God until the second game is won, but the future of the Third World is altered through numerous catalysts. The Second World Murumuru escapes from Yuno's illusions with Yuki, beating down her First World self. Both Murumuru, along with her Third World self, reappear with Deus and Yuno in the Third World when Yuki and Yuno reunite.
She is named after Murmur, one of the 72 Goetic demons.
Other characters
Friends
Masumi Nishijima
Chief Investigator and Keigo's subordinate within the police. He is an ally of Yuki within the police force. In Mirai Nikki: Mosaic, Masumi is interested in Minene, when the latter disguised herself as a police detective she killed. Even when he learns her real identity as a terrorist, Masumi still continues pursuing a relationship with Minene, much to the latter's confusion. After the incident where Keigo commits suicide, he entrusts Masumi his role of balancing out the other Diary users. Masumi was killed by the Eleventh's men by using himself as a shield of gun shots to protect Minene. In the Third World, Masumi and the Second World Minene is shown to be living happily with their children.
Ouji Kosaka
A classmate of Yuki's who used to bully him in the past but later became his friend during the Diary Game. He receive his "Kosaka King Diary" from the Eighth Diary user. This diary records any "triumphs" that Kosaka achieves in the future. Its usefulness is limited, however, as Kosaka views everything he does correctly as a great personal triumph, regardless of how small the task. Another serious shortcoming of his diary is that it only records when Kosaka will succeed, and therefore will not update if he is going to fail. He revealed the reason he bullies Yuki is because his 'crybaby face' reminds him of a stupid dog of his. Yuki gets mad and kills him with a pistol. In the Third World, he is seen with Karyuudo, Hinata and Mao.
Hinata Hino
One of Yuki's new friends in his new school. Her father is actually Karyuudo Tsukishima, the Tenth Diary user.

She is named after Rhea, the mother of Jupiter's Greek equivalent, Zeus.
Kurou Amano

But his plans are foiled by Marco and Ai, forcing him to escape only to encounter his ex-wife whom he accidentally kills. Kurou starts to feel guilt and a desire to make up to his son for what he has done. When he is at a shrine with his son, he is stabbed in the abdomen by Bacchus' men.

In the alternative universe, when the First World Yuno tried to assassinate her Third World self, Saika defends her, and her viewpoint towards her daughter changes for the better.
Ushio Gasai
Yuno's adoptive father. He is known to run the Sakurami City bank that Bacchus uses as a shelter during the invasion where Yuki and Yuno attempt to assassinate Bacchus to win the Survival Game. Unlike Saika, Ushio was never directly abusive towards Yuno, but he intentionally worked longer hours as a means of avoiding Saika due to her ever-increasing emotional instability. Because he was not around, Saika's abuse of Yuno continued unchecked. In the alternative universe, Ushio shown to be a much more caring man to his daughter.

Ryuji Kurosaki
He is the secretary of Sakurami City. His diary is the "Secretary Diary", which records all of the Mayor's actions. He is killed by Bacchus for becoming a security risk when it is revealed that he will in the future be captured and give up the passwords for the vault in which they are taking shelter. In the anime, Ryuji is tortured and killed by Minene instead.
Moe Wakaba
Moe is Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai's classmate one year prior to the events of the series. Yukiteru had a crush on her but she turns him down after he gives her a love letter, much to Yuno's relief. Moe reappears in the Third World, after Yuno traps Yuki in an illusion world in which Yuno does not exist, and Yuki can have anything he wants, and Moe is the girl Yuki wants, but Yuki denies her (while, in the anime, she even undresses to seduce him). After the Survival Game concludes, the Moe of the Third World is in a romantic relationship with the Yukiteru of the Third World, as such both are seen holding hands and smiling at one another.

The Grates were an Australian indie rock band that formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 2002. They were brought to national attention in 2004 when a demo of their single "Trampoline" received airplay on radio station Triple J. Their first two albums, Gravity Won't Get You High (2006) and Teeth Lost, Hearts Won (2008), both reached the ARIA Albums Chart top 10. Hodgson and Patterson were also proprietors of Southside Tea Room, a cafe and bar, in Morningside; the couple also married in November that year.
History
2002-2004: Formation and "Trampoline"
The Grates were formed in 2002 in Brisbane by Patience Hodgson on lead vocals, John Patterson on guitars and backing vocals and Alana Skyring on drums. Patterson and Skyring had attended Alexandra Hills State High School. In 1999, they met Cleveland State High School student, Hodgson, in year 12 at a drama class, which all three attended at the local TAFE to avoid physical education classes.
Hodgson discovered her singing voice at a karaoke bar, where she performed "A Whole New World" (from Aladdin). According to Patterson the rendition "was less than stellar". The three were watching rage in 2002 when they decided to form a group. After several rehearsals Hodgson, with her then-boyfriend, travelled to Scotland for a year where they planned a two-piece band, Prix Divers. Hodgson, Patterson and Skyring kept in contact and swapped ideas for songs. Patterson and Skyring each played in bands, Zombie Crime Boss and Clifton, as well as forming short-lived groups together or with others.
Once back in Australia Hodgson rejoined Patterson and Skyring to resume rehearsing in the Patterson family garden shed. Patterson described their band roles, "Patience couldn't play an instrument, so she was the singer. I was bored of playing keyboards so I started playing guitar, and Alana just drums however she wants." They deliberately chose not to have a regular bass guitarist, according to Craig Mathieson of The Age this indicates "they've shown a disdain for convention." They performed under a different name each night – they might trick regular customers into thinking they were a new band instead of the same "shitty" one. In January 2004 they first performed as the Grates; at Ric's bar in Brisbane. Subsequent noise restrictions limited live performances at the venue, Patterson recalled "It's pathetic. Ric's is our favourite place to play in Brisbane... We played our first couple of shows there about a year ago and miss playing there terribly." According to Australian music journalist, Ed Nimmervoll, "They name the Pixies and Weezer as influences." Whereas Tammy la Gorce of AllMusic opined their early material were "Ramones and Yeah Yeah Yeahs-influenced songs."
Later in 2004 they sent a rough demo of "Trampoline" to national youth radio station, Triple J, which was accompanied by a hand-written biography and press release. They had recorded it as an 8-track recording using two cheap microphones in Patterson's shed; it received high rotation on the station. Mathieson described the single as "a kinetic pop mantra where Hodgson skewers alternative rock's predilection for sultry female vocalists." "Trampoline" was used for a Just Jeans "Shortcuts" TV ad. During 2004 they toured supporting Rocket Science, the Tremors, TISM and then Regurgitator. They were signed to Dew Process and released The Ouch. The Touch.. Kathryn Kernohan of FasterLouder felt it was "a perfect taster... you couldn't ask for a stronger selection of tracks. It gives an indication of how good you'd be live, and it leaves me hanging out for an album." The Ouch. The Touch peaked in the top 100 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
2005-2007: Gravity Won't Get You High
In April 2005 Hodgson explained her song writing style, "My attitude used to be just make up some shit that fits in and we'll be sweet, but now I want to work on the lyrics... I think when Daniel Johns first got some success, he didn't really know about music history, so he studied it, but I don't feel like I need to know. I just pick up stuff as we go along."
In 2005, the band appeared at the Big Day Out, Meredith, Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival and Homebake. They supported the Go! Team on their tour over late 2005 to early 2006.
In April 2006, the band released their debut album, Gravity Won't Get You High, which peaked at No. 9 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It was recorded in Chicago with Brian Deck (Holopaw, Iron and Wine, Josh Ritter) producing. Nimmervoll noticed that "Some songs had been with them for a long time, others were wtitten just days before going into the studio." It was released in the UK and the United States in June. Nate Dorr of PopMatters opined that it provided "an infectious variety... At times, there's a sense of catchy frivolity to the proceedings, but it can easily be forgiven... sheer excitement of hearing such unbridled enthusiasm in an emerging talent. And they are talented." Pitchforks Sean Fennessey felt "electric Hodgson, who sounds like she's riding a jet-fueled pogo on almost every song, is joined by guitarist John Patterson and drummer Alana Skyring, who make a sweet, playful style of basement band music."
The lead single, "19 20 20", was released in March 2006. It was followed by "Science Is Golden", which was released in September 2006 and reached the ARIA Singles Chart top 60. The third single, "Rock Boys", was issued later that year. Four of the album's tracks were listed in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2006: "Lies are Much More Fun" (No. 71), "Inside Outside" (No. 42), "Science is Golden" (No. 17) and "19 20 20" (No. 10). During 2006 they performed at the Big Day Out (Australian leg), headlined a national tour in the first half of the year, supported Sleater-Kinney on their Australian tour, supported the Zutons on their UK tour, supported the Young Knives, and then Arctic Monkeys in their tours of Australia.
On 13 October 2006 they performed at the Forum Theatre, Melbourne, which was issued as a live DVD, Til Death Do Us Party, on 30 April 2007. Mess+Noise's Ben described how Hodgson's "a genuine livewire, swanning across the stage in a flouncy white dress, all red-cordial energy and child-like abandon. But her voice, in a live setting, is a tuneless thing. The harmonies and the melodies of the recording just aren’t there." He felt that Patterson's guitar work is "bare too, skipping between clangy clean sounds and high-school-band distortion" while Skyring's "drums are solid, in the Meg White style, but she still looks like the whole thing – her, being here, behind these drums, and all those people, out there, pogoing – is a surprise."
2008-2011: Teeth Lost, Hearts Won & Secret Rituals
The Grates' second album, Teeth Lost, Hearts Won, was released on 2 August 2008, which peaked at No. 6. According to the Dwarf.com website's reviewer it "needs good set of speakers and an appropriate setting to really be appreciated. When you have seen a band like this live, the expectation is that they will try and capture some of that vibe – and for some reason – unless this sucker is played loud, the vibe is totally lost." Its lead single, "Burn Bridges", was released in July 2008, which reached the top 100. It was followed by "Aw Yeah" (October 2008). The Grates were listed onto the Triple J Hottest 100, 2008 with three tracks: "Burn Bridges" (No. 34), "Aw Yeah" (No. 80) and "Carve Your Name" (No. 83).
In mid-2009 the Grates travelled to New York where they performed and continued song writing for six months. Skyring left the band in 2010 to study a baking course at Institute of Culinary Education, New York; initially the Grates continued as a two piece with Hodgson and Patterson writing tracks together in that city. Skyring later joined Neil and Sharon Finn's group, Pajama Club.
Local US musician, Ben Marshall, joined the band on drums in New York to finish recording their third album, Secret Rituals (17 June 2011), which peaked at No. 11. Matt Shea of Mess+Noise felt it was "a little like a ledger of artistic assets: for the band to come out on top, the final statement needs to show a positive balance of improved songwriting over receding whacked-out style." The Alphabet Pony's reviewer found the work had "benefited from this increased sensibility, and the time taken to marinate in the creative hub of Brooklyn has done wonders for their revitalised sound... It's classic Grates sound, brought kicking and screaming into 2011 – but it's in the conflict between the old stuff and the new stuff that's the killer." Marshall toured with the band in Australia in June to July on the Secret Rituals tour with auxiliary member, Miranda Freeman on bass guitar and keyboards. Freeman is Hodgson's former high school mate.
The Grates premiered its lead single, "Turn Me On", on Triple J in April 2011 and it was streamed on their official Facebook page. Marshall was also on their Summer's Breath tour later that year in October and November. On the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2011, "Turn Me On" was listed at No. 54.
2012–2020: Dream Team and final years
Marshall left the Grates in 2012 due to commitments back in the US. The Grates took a hiatus from live shows soon after, to focus on the opening their cafe, bar Southside Tea Room. Their new drummer, Ritchie Daniell, who drummed for Brisbane indie rock band The Trouble with Templeton and currently Hatchie, officially joined The Grates in 2013 to play their live shows.
In December 2014, The Grates released their fourth studio album, Dream Team, on their own label, Death Valley. Everett True of The Guardian described how it "sounds more 'grown up' – what with the hyper-energetic brat-pop Grates of old switched for something a little more refined, more radio-friendly – there are still enough moments of euphoria to lift it above the mundane." He was disappointed by its "solid, muscly bloke drumming... Not everything has to be treated like it's an anthem." It did not reach the ARIA top 100, although it appeared on the ARIA Digital Albums top 50 and debuted at #48 on the Australian iTunes chart.
At the 2015 Queensland Music Awards, the band won Best Rock Artist for their song "Holiday Home".
In 2018, Skyring officially rejoined the band. They went on tour that year to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Teeth Lost, Hearts Won.
The Grates played their final shows as part of the 2020 Hotter Than Hell festival alongside Everclear, Unwritten Law and Frenzal Rhomb.
Southside Tea Room
In May 2012 Hodgson and Patterson opened Southside Tea Room, a bar and cafe, located at Morningside. It has received positive reviews and also hosts special events: markets, gigs, and craft tutorials. Daniell initially worked as a barista at the cafe. Southside Tea Room closed in 2019.

The Atlantic and Great Western Railroad began as three separate railroads: the Erie and New York City Railroad based in Jamestown, New York; the Meadville Railroad based in Meadville, Pennsylvania (renamed A&GW in April 1858); and the Franklin and Warren Railroad based in Franklin Mills, Ohio (renamed A&GW in January 1853).
The owners of the three railroads had worked closely together since an October 8, 1852, meeting in Cleveland to plan an expansion that was described as the "Great Broad Route", using the Erie Railroad to reach respective areas.
History
On March 12, 1862, general control of all three companies was placed under a central board made of two directors from each of the companies. The Ohio Board was represented by Marvin Kent and Worthy S. Streator; the Pennsylvania Board by William Reynolds and John Dick; and the New York Board by A. F. Allen and Thomas W. Kennard. Reynolds was elected the board's president. The line reached Cleveland, Ohio on November 18, 1863, and was connected to the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad in Dayton on June 20, 1864, which linked St. Louis with New York City via a gauge line.
On August 19, 1865, an agreement was drafted to merge the three separate companies, each named Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, into the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. On October 5 of that year the new company issued a $30 million mortgage to pay off the outstanding mortgages on various companies included in the merger.
The company went into the hands of a receiver, Robert B. Potter of New York, on April 1, 1867. Potter operated the railroad until December 1868 when it was leased for 12 years by the Erie Railroad. Jay Gould, then president of the Erie, arranged to have the company again placed into receivership, this time with Gould and W. A. O'Doherty as receivers. This receivership was transferred to Reuben Hitchcock of Cleveland in November 1869. In February 1870, the Erie again leased the company, pending foreclosure. The foreclosure took place and the property was purchased on July 26, 1871, by Gen. George B. McClellan, William Butler Duncan and Allen G. Thurman. A deed for the property was finalized on October 3, 1871. The new company was named the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, the same as the old, but on consolidation of the individual parts (one in each state) in November, the name was changed back to the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad.
In May 1874, the Atlantic and Great Western was again leased by the Erie, at terms very generous to the A&GW and its backer James McHenry. On December 10, 1874, the new president of the Erie, Hugh J. Jewett, repudiated the lease and the company went into the hands of a new receiver, J. H. Devereaux. This action led to a series of lawsuits between McHenry and Jewett which brought shame to both companies. On January 10, 1880, the property was again sold at foreclosure and was reorganized as the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad.

Michael Levitt (born March 13, 1968) is an American television producer of award shows, reality shows, game shows and specials. He has produced programs such as Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, The TV Land Awards, The Scream Awards, Live From the Red Carpet, The Billboard Music Awards, Hollywood Squares, The Teen Choice Awards and Celebrity Duets.
Levitt produced one of the most-watched television events in history, the 2009 Michael Jackson memorial service.
Early career
Through the 1990s Levitt helped produce a variety of network and cable television award shows and specials including President Bill Clinton's 50th Birthday Special, the VH1 Vogue Fashion Awards, and the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards.
Under Levitt's leadership, the Billboard Music Awards featured live performances by Aerosmith, Mariah Carey, Metallica, Sting, Celine Dion, Garth Brooks, and Gwen Stefani. Levitt also produced the popular Teen Choice Awards for nearly a decade.
Formation of Michael Levitt Productions
In 2000, Michael Levitt founded his own Hollywood, California-based production company, Michael Levitt Productions.
His first shows under his personal banner were two major network television music specials. Having served as co-producer for the 1993–94 season of The Mickey Mouse Club, Levitt re-teamed with former mouseketeer Britney Spears in April 2000, producing her Fox television special, Britney in Hawaii, which scored a ratings coup for the network. Later that same year, Levitt produced two more specials for Fox: Britney Spears: There's No Place Like Home and The N'Sync N'timate Holiday Special with popular boy band N'Sync.
TV Land Awards
In 2003, Levitt created the annual TV Land Awards for the TV Land network. The program celebrates classic television, movies, music and pop culture. Honorees have included a who's who of original cast and producers of shows such as M*A*S*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Brady Bunch, Good Times, E.R., Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and countless others.

Ask Oprah's All Stars
In late 2010 Levitt partnered with producer Mark Burnett to executive produce Ask Oprah's All Stars, a primetime talk show format uniting Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, and Suze Orman. The four two-hour specials initially ran the first four Sunday nights of 2011, and were the highest rated on Oprah Winfrey's fledgling OWN network. Two of the specials were moderated by Gayle King, and the other two by Robin Meade. Celebrity appearances included Stevie Wonder, Mario Lopez, Vanessa Williams, Nancy O'Dell, and Winfrey herself.
E! Live From The Red Carpet
In 2011 Levitt executive produced the E! Live From the Red Carpet shows for The Golden Globe Awards, The Grammy Awards, and The Academy Awards. These specials, hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic, garnered E! their highest ratings with 1.6 million viewers tuning into the cable network's Golden Globes red carpet coverage.
Celebrity Duets
Partnering with Simon Cowell in 2006, Levitt entered the world of reality competition programming by serving as executive producer of the FOX series Celebrity Duets.

In 2007, Levitt developed and produced Back To The Grind for TV Land, a reality series in which television stars performed the actual job for which their TV characters were known. He was also enlisted to produce the finale of mother/daughter beauty pageant series, Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants, which aired as part of The CW's fall 2007 lineup.
In 2007 and 2008, Levitt served as executive producer of The Producers Guild of America Awards. These two years proved to be the most well-received and music-packed celebrations in the Guild's history with musical performances by Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Cole, Jordin Sparks, Keb Mo and Chris Daughtry.
In 2008, Levitt produced The World Music Awards and The ALMA Awards (both for ABC) and the first annual Spanish-language sports awards show Tecate Premios Deportes for Univision.

The first of its kind, the program was co-hosted by Jane Lynch and Hilary Swank, and featured celebrities including Miranda Lambert, P!nk, Sharon Osbourne, Paula Abdul, and Betty White, who introduced adoptable dogs to viewers.
Partnership with Henry Winkler
Hollywood Squares
In 2002, Levitt partnered with veteran actor/producer Henry Winkler when the pair were approached by King World Productions to revamp and update Hollywood Squares, the company's classic game show.
Reunion specials
Levitt continued working with Winkler throughout the 2000s as they reunited the casts of four long-running classic television series for network TV specials.
Winkler, Ron Howard, Garry Marshall and the whole Happy Days gang returned to Arnold's Diner to reflect back on 11 successful seasons for ABC's Happy Days' Thirtieth Anniversary Reunion, the third highest rated television special of 2005.
A trio of CBS tributes to 1980s soaps began with 2004's Dallas Reunion: The Return to Southfork, which was filmed on location at Southfork Ranch in Dallas, where J.R. Ewing and company took up residence for 13 seasons.
In 2005, the cast of the long-running series Knots Landing reunited for the two-hour special Knots Landing Reunion: Together Again.
The following year Joan Collins, Linda Evans, John Forsythe and the rest of the Dynasty cast reunited for Dynasty Reunion: Catfights & Caviar. Shot at Filoli, the manor estate which served as the setting for the series, the program was an examination of the series which represented the excess of the 1980s.
The Michael Jackson Memorial Service

In Christian theology, the pre-advent judgment is a belief that the Last Judgment will occur before the Second Coming (or "Advent") of Jesus.
This concept stands in contrast to the much more common Christian belief that the Last Judgment will occur at or after the second coming.
Interpretations
The Seventh-day Adventist Church believes that a pre-advent judgment started in the year 1844, known as the investigative judgment. It will conclude at the "close of probation" prior to the return of Jesus.

Zhang Hua (232–7 May 300), courtesy name Maoxian, was a Chinese poet and politician of the Western Jin dynasty and the preceding state of Cao Wei. An accomplished poet, Zhang also authored the Bowuzhi, a compendium of entries about natural wonders and supernatural phenomena. His political career reached its zenith from 291 to 300, when he served as a leading minister during the de facto regency of Empress Jia Nanfeng. Zhang was considered an effective minister and, in conjunction with his colleague Pei Wei, helped ensure a period of relative stability within the Jin court. As the court fell into factional disputes from 299 to 300, Zhang rebuffed the rebellious overtures of the imperial relative Sima Lun and was executed when the latter seized power from the empress.
Background and service under Wei
Zhang Hua's father, Zhang Ping (), was a commandery administrator in the Cao Wei state during the Three Kingdoms period. He died when Zhang Hua was still young. Zhang Hua's family became impoverished, and he was a shepherd when he was young. The official Liu Fang () was so impressed with Zhang Hua that he arranged for Zhang Hua to marry his daughter.
Zhang Hua became known for his literary talent, and he wrote a collection of poems, ostensibly about birds – but in fact about people's tendencies. His poems received great renown, and the commandery administrator recommended him to the regent, Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao made him one of his secretaries, and he distinguished himself in that role. However, as an Academician in the Ministry of Ceremonies (), he suffered disgrace when he was dismissed for negligence after one of the beams in the imperial ancestral temple broke.
Service under the Jin dynasty
In 265, after Sima Zhao's son, Sima Yan (Emperor Wu) usurped the throne from the last Cao Wei emperor Cao Huan and established the Jin dynasty (266–420), he appointed Zhang Hua as a Gentleman of the Yellow Gate () and awarded him the title of a Secondary Marquis (). He was promoted to the position of a Master of Writing () later. Around 279 or 280, when the general Yang Hu encouraged Emperor Wu to conquer the Jin dynasty's rival state Eastern Wu, most officials strongly objected but Zhang Hua agreed with Yang Hu and became heavily involved in the strategies and logistic arrangements behind the campaign against Eastern Wu. After the Jin dynasty conquered Eastern Wu in 280, Emperor Wu enfeoffed Zhang Hua as the Marquis of Guangwu () to honour him for his contributions.
Zhang Hua soon fell out of favour with Emperor Wu. When Emperor Wu once asked him who could be a regent for his son Sima Zhong (later Emperor Hui), Zhang Hua recommended Emperor Wu's brother, Sima You (the Prince of Qi). Although Sima You was clearly capable of fulfilling that role, Emperor Wu was angry with Zhang Hua because he feared that Sima You might usurp the throne from Sima Zhong in the future since he had much support from the masses. The officials who previously opposed the campaign against Eastern Wu seized this opportunity to speak ill of Zhang Hua in front of Emperor Wu and cause him to fall out of the emperor's favour. Emperor Wu then sent Zhang Hua away to the northern frontier in You Province to serve as Colonel Who Protects the Wuhuan () and General Who Stabilises the North (). Zhang Hua performed well in office as he pacified the various non-Han Chinese peoples, such as the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, in the region. Although Emperor Wu considered summoning Zhang Hua back to the imperial capital Luoyang to serve in ministerial positions, he changed his mind every time after listening to officials who disliked Zhang Hua.
Following Emperor Wu's death in 290, Zhang Hua was summoned back to Luoyang to serve as an Official of Ceremonies (), a position without actual power. His role was mainly to teach Sima Yu, the heir apparent of the newly enthroned Sima Zhong (Emperor Hui). After Empress Jia Nanfeng overthrew Empress Dowager Yang and her father Yang Jun in a coup d'état, she entrusted Zhang Hua with greater responsibilities as Right Household Counsellor (), Palace Attendant () and Supervisor of the Palace Writers (). In 296, Zhang Hua was promoted to Minister of Works (). Over the subsequent years, with Empress Jia Nanfeng in power (Emperor Hui was merely a puppet emperor), Zhang Hua used his political skills to keep the various competing factions in check, in conjunction with Empress Jia's cousin Pei Wei.
Death
In 299, the political firestorm became too big for Zhang Hua to handle after Empress Jia Nanfeng framed Sima Yu for treason in 299 and had him deposed. In the following year, fearing that Sima Yu would make a comeback, Empress Jia had him murdered. Sima Lun (the Prince of Zhao), a granduncle of Emperor Hui, plotted a coup d'état to remove Empress Jia from power. He tried to persuade Zhang Hua to join him, but Zhang Hua was reluctant to do so. Later that year, after Sima Lun successfully overthrew Empress Jia, he had her several of her supporters and associates (including Zhang Hua) executed along with their families.
Sima Lun then usurped the throne and briefly ruled as emperor before he was overthrown. In 301, Sima You's son, Sima Jiong (the Prince of Qi), then the regent, had Zhang Hua posthumously rehabilitated and restored to his former titles and positions.
Poetry
Zhang Hua's poetry was admired by such people as Ruan Ji and Chen Liu (). He was profoundly learned, and when he changed houses it took thirty carts to carry his library. Zhang Hua was the author of the Bowuzhi, a collection of articles on various topics of interest. It appears to have perished during the Song dynasty, and the modern work which passes under that name was probably compiled from extracts found in other books.
Family
Zhang Hua had two sons: Zhang Yi (), who served as a Regular Mounted Attendant (); Zhang Wei (), who served as a Mounted Gentleman (). Both of them died together with their father and the rest of their families in 300. Only one of Zhang Hua's grandsons, Zhang Yu (), survived the purge. He inherited his grandfather's peerage in 301 after his grandfather was posthumously rehabilitated.

The Banco de Oro-Equitable PCI Bank (2004–2006) was a plan by the SM Group of Companies and Banco de Oro Universal Bank, then the fifth-largest bank in the Philippines, to merge with Equitable PCI Bank, the third-largest bank. The merger was part of a long-term goal of Banco de Oro to become one of the largest names in the Philippine banking industry. It was closed on December 27, 2006, with the formation of Banco de Oro Unibank, Inc.
The plan was controversial with respect to the fact that a smaller bank could not possibly acquire a larger bank. At the time of the merger, Equitable PCI had three times the capital Banco de Oro had. Analysts were worried about the repercussions this could have on the industry. However, the deal had been able to generate a lot of media hype, especially in newspaper editorials.
Background
The merger with or acquisition of Equitable PCI is one of the acquisitions that Banco de Oro has been involved with over the last five years. In 2001, it successfully acquired the Philippine subsidiary of Dao Heng Bank, adding on some twelve branches to its branch network. The next year, it acquired the branches of First e-Bank, then-owned by First Pacific, the majority shareholder in PLDT. A year later, it acquired the Philippine subsidiary of Banco Santander Central Hispano.
Later on, in April 2005, BDO acquired 66 of the 67 branches of the Philippine subsidiary of United Overseas Bank, after UOB announced the conversion of its operations from retail banking to wholesale banking. The deal was closed on December 20, 2005. BDO's wave of acquisitions has earned it the distinction of being the most aggressive bank in terms of mergers and acquisitions.
However, this title belonged to Equitable PCI Bank in the 1990s, when its predecessor, Equitable Banking Corporation, went on to buy banks such as Mindanao Development Bank and Ecology Bank in the mid-1990s and PCI Bank in the 1980s when it acquired the Insular Bank of Asia and America. In 1999, Equitable completed arguably one of the largest bank mergers in Philippine banking history(with help from the GSIS and the SSS along with former President Estrada): the merger with the larger Philippine Commercial International Bank, or PCI Bank. this deal catapulted EPCI to the number two spot then a few months later BPI merged with PCIBank's sister bank FEBTC under the BPI name which in effect made BPI the largest Philippine Bank and in the top 10 largest South East Asian Bank which led EPCI down to the third spot and months later Metrobank acquired Philbanking, Asianbank and Solidbank which resulted it regaining the top spot and BPI demoted to number two and the deal was closed at 2000 and sparked the first wave of mergers and acquisitions.
Merger history
First attempts
Banco de Oro first attempted to acquire Equitable PCI began sometime in 2003, when Banco de Oro agreed to purchase the shareholdings of the Social Security System in Equitable PCI for roughly eight billion pesos through a zero coupon amortizing note. However, a group of concerned citizens, including several politicians and pension holders managed to get the Supreme Court to issue an injunction on the sale following questions raised over the sale price and the manner by which the Social Security Commission "authorized" the sale. The case, titled Osmeña v. Social Security Commission, was rendered moot by the subsequent purchase by Banco de Oro of other Equitable PCI shares. (Osmeña v. Social Security Commission, G.R. No. 165272, September 13, 2007).
Second time's a charm
On August 5, 2005, Banco de Oro and SM Investments Corporation, another member of the SM Group, acquired 24.76% of Equitable PCI shares from the Go family, the family that founded Equitable PCI. The acquisition finally settled a dispute between the Gos and a bigger bloc representing the SSS, the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and the family of Equitable PCI chairman Ferdinand Romualdez, a relative of Imelda Marcos. The SM group's acquisition of the Go shares increased its stake to 27.26%. It had a 2.5% stake before the acquisition. The deal was closed on August 11 of that year.
During that time, the SM group hoped that the Supreme Court would have settled with finality the issue over the acquisition of the 29% stake of the SSS. At the time, the SSS was still studying the deal, unlike the GSIS and chairman Romualdez, both of whom were staunchly opposed to the deal. The GSIS would only agree to the acquisition of its shares if its shares were to be bought at 92 pesos per share, the price at which the GSIS originally bought it for, or higher.
The SSS deal called for acquisition of its shares for P43.50 per share. However, the SM group said that it was amenable to a renegotiation of the share price, saying that it was willing to pay more for the SSS stake.
Subsequent acquisitions of common shares on the Philippine Stock Exchange have boosted the stake of the SM group to 34% as of January 9, 2006, making it the single largest shareholder in the bank.
Banco de Oro's gambit
On January 6, 2006, Banco de Oro offered to buy the rest of Equitable PCI for 41.3 billion pesos through a share swap option, with Banco de Oro as the surviving entity. Under the deal, every one Equitable PCI share would be swapped for 1.6 Banco de Oro shares or, in a second option, an independent accounting company would determine the swap ratio on the book values of both banks under International Accounting Standards. If approved by two-thirds of Equitable PCI shareholders, this "merger of equals" would create the second-largest bank in the Philippines, putting Banco de Oro, the survivor of the merger, just below Metrobank but dislodging Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) from the spot. Equitable PCI has been given a deadline of January 31 to consider the deal.
If the deal is approved by the Equitable PCI board, all stakes will be diluted as the SM Group's stake increases.
However, the GSIS and Romualdez were still opposed. In fact, a counterproposal was even considered by Romualdez in which a merger would occur, but with Equitable PCI as the surviving entity, rather than Banco de Oro. So far, this counterproposal has not been as hot a topic as a merger with BDO as the surviving entity.
International analysts see otherwise. Standard & Poor's says that if the merger deal succeeds, Equitable PCI's debt rating could rise, while Banco de Oro's ratings will remain unchanged. Equitable PCI's debt rating is currently a B, five notches below investment grade. Banco de Oro has a B+ rating.
UBS claims that Equitable PCI shareholders should find the deal attractive and also hails the deal as a "win-win situation" for both banks. It also claims that under the current timeframe, the merger will also benefit Equitable PCI since it would increase its capital adequacy ratio (CAR) without having it raise more capital, making the deal timely under IAS. It also claims that the share price of Equitable PCI would increase to as much as P73.60 under the deal, more than the fair value target price of 67 pesos.
It is unlikely however that Equitable PCI can meet the January 31 deadline. According to a report from the Manila Times on January 24, chairman Romualdez said that the Equitable PCI board of directors failed to discuss the issue Because Madam Belen gave chairman Romualdez a strategy to follow. Romualdez also said that in order for the BDO-Equitable PCI merger would be slated for discussion, it needs the approval of a majority of the board members.
Foreign interest
Foreign investor groups are also becoming interested in the merger deal. Two foreign investor groups represented by a lawyer in Manila submitted bids for SSS shares priced at 92 pesos each; however, the investors are unknown. The GSIS has reportedly started the bidding process for their shares in which it would sell its shares at 92 pesos or higher. Offers must be submitted by March 6.
Ganging up against the merger
There are hints though that the SSS could join the GSIS in selling their shares. According to GSIS president and general manager Winston Garcia, the SSS could join it in selling their shares in Equitable PCI, a total of 42% of the bank, for the GSIS price of 92 pesos, enough to thwart a Banco de Oro-Equitable PCI merger. No response though has come from the SSS; however, the SSS has already said that it will not sell its shares below 10.2 billion pesos, the price the SM group paid to acquire the Go family stake in Equitable PCI.
A suggestion by the secretary-general of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines, Ernesto Herrera, says that instead of the 100% cash deal, Banco de Oro should offer to the SSS a deal wherein the bank would buy the shares of the SSS to be paid with fifty percent in cash and another fifty percent in Banco de Oro stock. This way, says Herrera, the SSS would have a partial return of capital and a new valuable investment in Banco de Oro.
Even with stiff opposition from the GSIS and Romualdez, Banco de Oro says now that it is willing to buy their shares "at a reasonable price", since no price was ever mentioned in the proposal. In fact, Equitable PCI board member and former BDO chairwoman Teresita Sy even said that the price is a "moving target". Banco de Oro wants a quick end to the dispute. It is also considering an extension to the merger plan if, according to Banco de Oro president Nestor Tan, they believe that "it is something worthwhile".
Although the deal lapsed on January 31 with no word on an extension, treasury shares totaling 10 percent of Equitable PCI stock could go on sale. The shares were used by the Go family to keep themselves in control of Equitable PCI in the past. However, the new Equitable PCI board voted late last year to retire the shares instead, providing a legal hitch with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Securities and Exchange Commission. If it were to be auctioned, it could join the 12-percent GSIS block. If this were to occur, the 92-peso share price becomes reasonable, probably thwarting a merger with Banco de Oro.
As of February 6, the SSS is attempting to draft a price for its stake in Equitable PCI. However, a source familiar with the BDO-SSS deal says that the deal is also open to Banco de Oro. No word has since been released. But in another development, GSIS president Garcia says that he will meet with board member Sy to discuss the possible purchase and subsequent auction of the 34-percent Sy block alongside the GSIS block and controversial treasury shares for 95 pesos per share.
"They're the drunken buyer!"
In a turn of events, the GSIS has offered to buy the 34% SM stake from it at P79.50 per share (as of March 23) in cash, earning Banco de Oro and the SM group some eight billion pesos. It is unknown whether Banco de Oro, the SM group, or the SM board members of Equitable PCI Bank have agreed, although it is believed that GSIS chairman Garcia is trying to turn the tables on Teresita Sy. If the deal succeeds, this could thwart any chance of a merger. However, this deal is dogged with allegations that Garcia is merely hyping the market, causing a rise in the value of Equitable PCI shares, which were then valued at above 80 pesos as of March 24.
In a bizarre twist of events as reported by the Philippine Daily Inquirer on April 25, as the Securities and Exchange Commission demanded that Garcia release the identity of the mystery buyer of the GSIS stake in Equitable PCI, he revealed that the "drunken" buyer is indeed Banco de Oro. The term drunken was used because it was believed at the time that Garcia's claim is merely market hype and that no one would be crazy enough to buy an Equitable PCI share for the price Garcia was asking for, which is 95 pesos, payable in cash. This is based on an e-mail that Garcia claimed was sent to him by BDO president Tan, and claims that he and Tessie Sy had at least two secret meetings on the merger in Hong Kong.
On May 6, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said that she will support the current stance of the SSS in avoiding any sale negotiations regarding its stake in Equitable PCI until all underlying disputes at the Supreme Court have been resolved. As of May 24, according to an article published by the Philippine Star, the merger is on hold until the Supreme Court decides on the legality of its sale of Equitable PCI stock to Banco de Oro.
Banco de Oro-EPCI Bank
The GSIS signed a sale agreement worth 8.7 billion pesos with SM Investments Corporation on September 27, giving the SM group an additional 12.7% stake in Equitable PCI, with Madam Belen preceding to the rescue raising its stake to 46.7% from its current 34%. Currently, it is pending shareholder approval, only having four days to secure such approval. The SSS also pledged to sell its shares in Equitable PCI, although this is still dependent on the outcome of its previous sale case in the Supreme Court. If this passes, along with other commitments from other parties involved, the tender offer being made by the SM Group, worth 36 billion pesos, could well increase SM's stake to 85.6%, well above the 67% needed to effect a merger with Banco de Oro.
In anticipation of the merger, ATR Kim Eng Securities, one of the largest investment houses in the Philippines, raised the target price of Banco de Oro stock by 25% to 50 pesos within twelve months on October 9. The same investment house also said that if the merger succeeds with Banco de Oro as the surviving entity, it would catapult the bank's stock to blue chip status, as well as possibly lead the Philippine banking industry with a 23% growth in earnings per share in 2007.
On November 6, the respective boards of Banco de Oro and Equitable PCI Bank agreed to the merger of both banks through a modified stock swap deal. Instead of the original 1.6 shares Banco de Oro would swap for, it would swap 1.8 shares for every Equitable PCI share. At Banco de Oro's closing price of P44.50 as of that Monday with a meeting with senior accounts officer (PCI)Madam.B.A., the deal would be valued at about P80.10 for every share, well above Equitable PCI's closing price then of P72.50. The deal has since been approved not only by their respective boards of directors, but also by the Securities and Exchange Commission. It will be submitted to shareholders for approval in December. When approved, while Banco de Oro will remain the surviving entity; the merged bank was, for a time, named Banco de Oro-EPCI, Inc. The sale of GSIS shares in Equitable PCI was approved by the Bangko Sentral's Monetary Board on November 28. Separate merger approval meetings of both Banco de Oro and Equitable PCI Bank shareholders have been scheduled for December 27, with a final merger possibly taking place starting January 2007.
"The merger of equals" - Banco de Oro Unibank, Inc.
On December 27, 2006, Banco de Oro shareholders approved the merger with Equitable PCI Bank. Equitable PCI Bank shareholders also approved the merger the same day. In order for the merger to take effect, approval from both the Bangko Sentral and the Securities and Exchange Commission is required, which was obtained in early 2007. The physical merger of both banks is set to take place before the end of the first half of 2007. Regulatory approval from the Bangko Sentral was granted on April 25, 2007.
At present, as of March 19, 2007, Banco de Oro and Equitable PCI Bank cardholders (ATM and debit cards) may access each other's ATM networks free of charge. ATM cardholders from both banks can avail of each other's withdrawal, balance inquiry and cash advance services free of charge. This theoretically increases Banco de Oro's ATM network to 1,200 ATMs nationwide. Banco de Oro and Equitable PCI Bank have also similarly synchronized their home and automobile loan products.
On May 31, 2007, trading of Banco de Oro and Equitable PCI Bank shares were suspended, with Equitable PCI Bank shares being delisted from the PSE on June 4, 2007. All 727 million shares of Equitable PCI Bank were delisted in the process, with 1.3 billion Banco de Oro shares, each having a par value of ten pesos, being listed to cover the merger.
Equitable PCI Bank branches are in the process of becoming Banco de Oro branches. As part of a corporate rebranding after the merger, the bank has since rebranded itself as BDO (still standing for Banco de Oro),. The legal name of the bank remained Banco de Oro-EPCI, Inc. until February 2008, when it was finally named Banco de Oro Unibank, Inc.
Precedents
This merger is only one part of the "second wave" of mergers and acquisitions in the Philippine banking industry, the first one being in the 1990s. Notable acquisitions in the second wave include Citibank's acquisition of Insular Savings Bank and BPI's acquisition of Prudential Bank, as well as the acquisition of International Exchange Bank by Union Bank of the Philippines, and more recently, the acquisition of Philippine Bank of Communications from Philtrust Bank.
The merger is part of a campaign on the part of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, in a complete reverse of stance from the 1990s. During the term of Bangko Sentral governor Gabriel Singson, the Bangko Sentral urged the creation of more banks, encouraging competition. However, the Asian financial crisis eventually forced the Bangko Sentral under Rafael Buenaventura to urge for the creation of more financially stable banks, starting the first wave of mergers and acquisitions. The current governor, Amando Tetangco, has kept the stance of Buenaventura.
It is likely that an ongoing consolidation is taking place. Other target banks could include smaller players such as United Coconut Planters Bank, Union Bank of the Philippines and Allied Bank. Some banks are considering the use of the strategy to maintain their places: this is most apparent with Metrobank, which is trying to fend off competition to stay as the Philippines' biggest bank.
The question of Chinabank
Analysts who are monitoring the Banco de Oro-Equitable PCI merger are foreseeing the possibility of a three-way merger between Banco de Oro, Equitable PCI Bank and Chinabank, another SM-controlled bank and the eighth-largest bank in the Philippines.
If a three-way merger does push through, this could ultimately create the largest Philippine bank, dislodging Metrobank. Although it is possible, Banco de Oro has no intention to include Chinabank in the BDO-Equitable PCI merger deal, saying that its stake in Chinabank is but an "investment". It also claims that Chinabank is better off independent rather than under Banco de Oro, specializing in its own field of expertise.
Effects of the merger
If the merger were to take place, Banco de Oro would move up into large capitalized company status, defined as a company whose capital stands at a minimum of $700 million. The merger of both banks would result in the merged company having a market capitalization of two billion dollars. Aside from that, it would also have to consolidate the large Equitable PCI branch and ATM network under the Banco de Oro banner. If the two banks were to merge, the new Banco de Oro would have a total of 685 branches and a wide-reaching ATM network.
Problems with transition could mostly result with the conversion of ATMs: Equitable PCI FASTellers(Equitable EBC Tellers and PCI FASTellers) are both linked to MegaLink(Equitable Banking Corporation) and BancNet(PCI Bank) while Banco de Oro Smartellers are linked to Expressnet (with ties to MegaLink and BancNet respectively). Also, Equitable PCI ATM cards are linked to Visa Electron and/or Visa PLUS while Banco de Oro ATM cards are either local or, in the case of the new BDO International ATM Card, linked to MasterCard (branded as MasterCard Electronic), Maestro and Cirrus. Branch transition and consolidation usually run smoothly, as exemplified by the consolidation of the branches of United Overseas Bank under the Banco de Oro banner. BDO has also inherited the 'Jose Velarde' account of former president Joseph Estrada.
A problem arising from this could be that this merger could trigger a wave of mergers and acquisitions that could result in an oligopoly, with only few competitors. The Bangko Sentral is determined to stop this from ever happening in the event that it does.
Stable outlook
On February 1, 2008, Fitch Ratings announced: "The Outlook on BDOU's ratings is stable given a benign economic environment. And while integration risk is a factor, a successful merger of the two banks will provide ratings momentum, if combined with some capital strengthening in particular; BDO will particularly benefit from EPCI's good franchise among commercial entities and consumers, and well-developed operations in fee-generating areas such as trust banking, remittances and credit cards. Significant revenue and cost synergies should arise from the integration of the two banks, due to complete by mid-2008, as led by BDO's very competent and driven management; BDO will raise P 10 billion of Tier 2 capital, and boosting its capital adequacy ratio by 2 percent to 3 percent; With the completion of the merger, BDOU will have a network of 680 branches and 1,200 automated teller machines."
Lehman Brothers' exposure
On September 17, 2008, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. announced "due to the uncertainty relating to the financial condition of Lehman Brothers, Banco de Oro Unibank Inc. is setting aside provisions totalling 3.8 billion pesos (80.9 million dollars) to cover its exposure to said entity". Banco de Oro failed to disclose the extent of its exposure to Lehman paper, stating "only that its balance sheet should be adequately covered from potential losses arising from its Lehman exposure. The provisions will come from reallocation of excess reserves and from additional provisions in the current period". Banco de Oro, capitalised at P 89.8 billion, closed 15.4% down to P 33.

Gere Kavanaugh (born 1929) is an American textile, industrial, and interior designer. She is the principal of Gere Kavanaugh Designs.
Early life and education
Gere Kavanaugh was born in 1929 and grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. She earned a BFA from the Memphis Academy of Art and was the third woman to receive a MFA degree from Michigan's Cranbrook Academy of Art.
Career
Kavanaugh worked as a stylist for General Motors primarily designing exhibitions to showcase automobiles, but also displays, created model kitchens, and interiors. She was part of the first group of women designers at GM, dubbed the "Damsels of Design" by design director Harley Earl. Her design team at GM was noted to have created the set for the 1958 Feminine automotive show. Using net-like material to create three cages filled with live canaries, who sang when the lights were on, she also created a centerpiece in the middle which resembled a dress. Colored cellophane beneathe the cages floors enhanced the dream-like atmosphere with reflections of rainbows on the floor. Completing the set were chiffon panels and white hyacinths. Kavanaugh advocated the use diversity and the importance of form's relationship to function(Smith, Constance A. Damsels In Design. Schiffer PA Feb 2018). In 1960, she left GM for a position in the Detroit offices of architect Victor Gruen, known as the father of the shopping mall. There, she designed interiors of retail stores and shopping centers across the country. The firm later moved to Los Angeles where she became friends with Frank Gehry. She later shared studio space with Gehry, Don Chadwick, and Deborah Sussman where she founded Gere Kavanaugh/Designs (GK/D) in 1964.
Over the years, Kavanaugh has designed ceramics, light fixtures, homes, store interiors, textiles, town clocks, and furniture. In the 1970s, she worked with furniture company Terra to design the “California umbrella.” Unable to patent the design, she started an alumni product archive at Cranbrook where alums could donate work which companies could reproduce and pay royalties directly to the school.
She was the first interior designer to win a COLA grant from the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department. Her work was included in the Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A., 1945-1980 exhibit. Kavanaugh also designed a research room and typeface for the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.
She was awarded the Julia Morgan Icon Award at the Los Angeles Design Festival in 2014. She also received the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) Medal in 2016.
Kavanaugh lives in Angelino Heights.

The SnowBall Music Festival is a music festival held annually in Winter Park, CO. The first edition occurred from March 2–4, 2011, near to Vail in the city of Avon, CO. The three-day-long event consisted of back to back performances played across three outside stages. Headliners included: Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, and Flaming Lips. The organisers claimed that the festival incorporated the "ultimate marriage: mountains and music." Some participants have compared Snowball to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, giving it the nickname Snowchella.
The festival’s winter setting allows attendees to experience Vail and Beaver Creek Resorts during the day prior to attending the music festival.
In 2013, the festival moved location from its original location in Avon to Winter Park. The 3rd edition of the festival took place March 8–10.
Outreach
Organizers of Snow Ball decided to have an event not only centered around music, but a bigger cause as well. They partnered with the non-profit organization, The Realm of Caring, to raise money to help fund the education of music in elementary schools. For the 2013 festival, a limited edition t-shirt (featuring the festival's unofficial moose mascot) was sold with a portion of the profits benefiting Pencils of Promise—a non-profit organization that builds schools and increases educational opportunities in the developing world.

William Henry Clarke (2 July 1916 – June 1986) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside-forward for Exeter City and Southampton in the 1930s.
Football career
Clarke was born in Leicester and after playing youth football with Leicester Nomads, he signed for Leicester City in February 1936.
Although he was included in City's team photograph at the start of the 1936–37 season, Clarke failed to break into the first-team and in the following summer he moved to join Exeter City of the Football League Third Division South.
At St James Park, Clarke was back-up to Fred Liddle, making twelve League and two FA Cup appearances, scoring once, before moving along the south coast in July 1938 to join Second Division Southampton.
At The Dell, Clarke was again only a reserve team player and it was not until 15 April 1939 that he made his first-team debut, in a 3–0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers. His second and last appearance came in the final fixture of the 1938–39 season, away to Plymouth Argyle.
In the summer of 1939, Clarke was offered a free transfer and joined Cheltenham Town in the Southern League but the outbreak of the Second World War brought his professional football career to an end.

White Hills is a section of the city of Shelton, Connecticut. It is one of the oldest parts of the city, with historical buildings dating to the early 18th century. It is the most rural part of Shelton, though much of it is now suburban.
White Hills got its name for the higher altitude it has compared with the rest of Shelton. The rolling hills in the area were named White for several reasons: The snow melted slower in the spring, the visible lyme rock, and the wild dogwood blossoms.
White Hills is bordered by Monroe to the north and west, the Housatonic River to the east, the "downtown" to the southeast, and Huntington to the southwest. Its road borders are roughly East Village Road to the east and north, Beardsley Road to the north, and Route 110 (Leavenworth and Shelton Roads) to the west and south. However, Maple Avenue (to the southwest) is considered part of Lower White Hills, but claimed by both Huntington and White Hills.
The Lower White Hills Cemetery (1700) is on Maple Avenue, just west of Route 110.
White Hills has a volunteer fire department, Shelton Fire Company 5. The fire company was formed in 1947 and the first truck was purchased in 1948, costing $7,000. Members signed personal notes to assure the payment of the new vehicle. They also held two-day country fairs to help in the payment for the new fire truck. Those two-day fairs were a tremendous amount of work.

Production
The cast and crew are debutantes who worked in a technology company.
Reception
Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India said that "What works for Ayana is that it is fresh and has certain scenes that are beautifully shot. The flipside to this is that the film mainly newcomers and some of the crucial scenes end up coming across as rehearsed and not too natural, which brings down the realistic treatment that the cinema aims to show". A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express opined that "The story is fresh, but unfortunately the film fails in its screenplay. The first half is dull even when there was scope for creative storytelling, but the second half adds more weight to the narrative".
Home media
The film is available on Netflix.

Gul was conscripted into the Imperial Russian Army in 1916 and served with the infantry on the South Western Front becoming a company commander in the 417th Kinburn Regiment.
In 1917, after the October Revolution, Gul joined the Kornilov Shock regiment of the White Volunteer Army. He participated in the Ice March and was wounded. He was captured by the Ukrainian Army and imprisoned in late 1918. In 1919 he was transferred to Germany and settled in Berlin in 1920 becoming a writer.

The animated television series Totally Spies! follows the adventures of three Beverly Hills teenage girls—Sam, Clover, and Alex—who work as secret agents on missions to save the world, involving real locations and some fictional ones. The series comprises six seasons divided into 156 episodes. Framing each episode is a side story in which the girls deal with high school life and its situations. Most of the episodes are self-contained. In season 3, also titled Totally Spies! Undercover, the three girls share a villa, and at the end of that season, they are promoted to super spies in the organization and are referred to as such for season 4. Season 5 follows the girls' adventures as they continue onto university.
Totally Spies! premiered on November 3, 2001, on ABC Family (now Freeform). It later premiered in Europe on channels such as Germany's ProSieben, France's TF1 and the United Kingdom's Channel 4 during the spring of 2002. The show was moved to Cartoon Network on July 7, 2003 where it enjoyed much success, and continued airing for a total of five seasons until 2009. It spawned a feature film Totally Spies! The Movie and a spin-off series The Amazing Spiez!.
In 2013, the show was revived for a sixth season, premiering at an event at the Palace of Versailles. Twenty-six episodes were broadcast on French television and networks across Europe starting in 4 September 2013. In Canada, the sixth season premiered on September 7, 2014 on Teletoon, and on September 6 on sister station Télétoon. The show has been broadcast worldwide on various networks, including TF1 in France, Teletoon in Canada, Cartoon Network in the US and Latin America, Rede Globo in Brazil, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon in Asia, Africa, and Europe (formerly Fox Kids and Jetix).</onlyinclude>The head writers for the show were Robert and Michelle Lamoreaux who were based in Los Angeles, and who had worked on Nickelodeon shows. The theme song for the first two seasons is "Here We Go" by Moonbaby (Miranda Cooper and Brian Higgins), but with lyrics changed slightly to fit the show. Seasons 3–5 use the same song but as instrumentals. During the closing credits of seasons 3–4, one of the girls, or occasionally Jerry or Mandy, talks directly to the camera about random topics which sometimes are tied to the episode theme. The sixth season uses a different theme song.
A seventh season is in development, and it is slated to be released in 2024.

Yves Hernot is the name of two sculptors, father and son, who ran the Ateliers Yves Hernot sculpture workshop in Lannion, Brittany, which specialised in creating Calvaries and tombs.
Hernot senior
Yves Hernot senior (1829 - 1890) established himself in Lannion in 1844. The son of a stonemason, he was given the opportunity to study art, but preferred to work on traditional monumental masonry. However, he won the Grand Prix de Rome for Sculpture, and showed his works at the 1867 World Fair. His work was generally associated with the church. A devout Catholic and conservative Royalist, during his lifetime 517 Calvaries were created by his workshop. He also created several tombs, including that of the last bishop of Treguier, whose body was returned to Brittany half a century after he had died in exile after the Revolution.
Hernot also wrote many songs in the Breton language, which he printed and distributed. One contrasts a Catholic and an atheist, another warns against the presence of Protestants. Others express anti-republican views, such as Ar gaouiad Republik (The Deceptive Republic). These political songs were often signed "Ur c'hoz masouner" (An old mason).
Hernot junior
Yves Hernot junior (1861 - 1929) inherited his father's business after the latter's death in 1890. By this time the workshop employed over 80 workers. Under Yves junior the company created 440 more Calvaries, of which the most important were the Calvary of Protest in Tréguier and the Breton Calvary in Lourdes.
The Breton Calvary was created in 1900 as a gift to Lourdes from the main Breton dioceses: Rennes, Vannes, Quimper and Saint-Brieuc. The monument comprises a single central cross set within a raised square base at each corner of which a statue of one of the witnesses to the crucifixion is placed.
The Calvary of Protest (1904) was Yves junior's most ambitious work. It was intended as a "symbol of the ultramontane church triumphing over the 19th century", as a response to the recent monument to the religious sceptic Ernest Renan, created nearby, and the proposed law separating church and state instituted by the radicals of the Third Republic. The monument includes the inscribed phrase "Truly this man was the Son of God" in the Latin, French and Breton languages below the main scene of lamenting figures at the foot of the cross. Beneath is a relief depicting Saint Yves between a rich and poor man, along with statues of Saint Tugdual, founder of Tréguier, and Saint Brieuc, after whom the chief town in the region is named. It is surrounded by statues of saints representing "spiritual combat": Saint Maurice, Saint George, Joan of Arc and Saint Louis. They are flanked by Saint Peter and Saint Andrew.
Hernot also created freestanding secular works, notably his statue of French naval hero Abraham Duquesne in Concarneau.
After World War I the business created a large number of war memorials, including those of Lannion and Plestin-les-Grèves, both carved by Yves junior's son Léon Hernot (1894-1971). The latter was inaugurated in December 1923.
Léon took over after his father's death, but the business ceased trading in 1932.

Loricosaurus (meaning "armour lizard") is a genus of sauropod represented by a single species. It is a titanosaurian that lived near the end of the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 71 million years ago in the early Maastrichtian. Found in the province of Neuquen, Argentina in the Allen Formation. Due to the presence of armour, at first it was thought that it was an ankylosaur, but today it is considered to be the armour of a titanosaur.
Armour
The armour of Loricosaurus has caused some controversy. When Huene first described it, he considered it to be from an ankylosaur. Later, it was discovered to not belong to ankylosaurs, but to belong to titanosaurs. Now it is considered to possibly belong to Neuquensaurus or Saltasaurus.
Species
In 1929 von Huene described Loricosaurus based on some armour osteoderms found in Argentina. The type species, Loricosaurus scutatus, is now considered possibly a synonym of Neuquensaurus.

Grant Thomas Stevenson (born October 15, 1981) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey forward who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the San Jose Sharks during the 2005–06 season.
Playing career
Stevenson was born in Spruce Grove, Alberta. After winning the "player of the year" award with the Spruce Grove Midget AAA team, Stevenson joined the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) for the 1999–00 season. He recorded 20 and 38 assists in 63 games in his rookie season and was his team's "rookie of the year". He also played in the AJHL Prospects Game. In 2000–01, Stevenson played for the Grande Prairie Storm of the AJHL and improved on his totals with 22 goals and 67 assists in 62 games, and he played in the AJHL All-Star game.
Recruited by Minnesota State University, Mankato for the 2001–02 season, Stevenson finished 8th in WCHA Rookie Scoring with 8 goals and 8 assists in 38 games, winning "rookie of the week" twice. Breaking out next year as the highest scoring sophomore in the nation with 27 goals and 36 assists in 38 games, Stevenson was second on the team and 5th in the nation in scoring. Consequently, Stevenson garnered many weekly honors and was named to the WCHA First All-Star Team.
Leaving college two years early, Stevenson signed with San Jose Sharks as a free agent on April 18, 2003.
In 2003–04, his first pro season, Stevenson posted 39 (13 + 26) points in 71 games for the Cleveland Barons, and also recorded seven assists in nine playoff games. Playing with former Minnesota State Mavericks teammate Shane Joseph signed to a PTO contract March 15, Stevenson garnered five goals and 11 assists in 14 games. Stevenson's powerful chemistry with Joseph helped earn him a contract with the Barons' NHL team, the San Jose Sharks. Stevenson, however, failed to make significant progress the following season; playing poorly for the Barons, Stevenson was demoted to the Johnstown Chiefs of the ECHL, where he finished the 2004–05 season with 14 goals, and 25 assists in 77 games.
Following his "sophomore slump," Stevenson worked out hard in the summer to gain more strength and speed. His efforts seemed to pay off, as he rebounded with 16 points in 17 games for the Barons in 2005–06 before being called up to San Jose on November 23, 2005. Stevenson finished his first NHL season with 10 goals and 12 assists in 47 games. Despite his decent stats as an NHL rookie, Stevenson did not play an NHL game the following season, partly due to the emergence of other young San Jose forwards.
On July 4, 2007, Stevenson signed with the Calgary Flames as a free agent. He spent the year with the Flames affiliate the Quad City Flames of the AHL. On July 9, 2008, Stevenson was again on the move signing for the Atlanta Thrashers as a free agent.
For the season 2009–10, Stevenson left North America and signed a one-year contract with Swiss team EHC Kloten of the National League A on June 24, 2009. After only 3 appearances with the Flyers, he was surprisingly cut from the team due to the falling short of the Flyers ambitious expectations. Stevenson returned to the American Hockey League signing with the Hamilton Bulldogs for the remainder of the season on November 23, 2009. Grant tallied just 8 goals in 53 games with the Bulldogs but raised his play in the playoffs scoring 10 points in 19 games to help Hamilton reach the Western Conference finals of the Calder Cup.
On July 29, 2010, Stevenson opted for his second foray into Europe signing as a free agent with German team Augsburger Panther of the DEL.
Personal information
He is the grandson of NHL Hall of Famer Glenn Hall.

Dragomir () is a Slavic masculine name, mostly found in Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Russia, and Ukraine as well as Romania. It is composed of the Slavic words drag (dear, precious) and mir (peace), both very common in Slavic dithematic names. It can be translated as To whom peace is precious, i.e. He who cares about peace. However, the ending mir, found in many Slavic names, has developed from the Old Slavic term *meru which meant 'large, great, greatly'. Thus the original Old Slavic meaning of the name would be He who is very dear or He who is very precious (to his family). The female form of the name is Dragomira (or Drahomíra), Dragomirka and is also very popular.

Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere is an organization originated at Stanford University which focuses on the creation of a new paradigm by the use of foresight intelligence to systematically examine likely and possible futures so as to determine what behavioral and institutional changes are necessary to ensure a sustainable and equitable future for all.
Strategically, MAHB is aiming to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and policy action so as to alter public perception of these issues as well as to understand why desperate conservation needs are barely responded to.
Process
Emphasis is focused upon population growth and increasing consumption by the already well off as well as economic, racial and gender inequality. It aims to bring together civil society groups and related organizations to build networks, share information and act together.
History
At the beginning of the 21st century when the MAHB was born, it was known as the Millennium Assessment of Human Behavior, making the point that it was following the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) but focusing on human behavior and collective actions leading to global collapse. But that name led to considerable confusion, especially because another global behavioral assessment was underway, and because MAHB activities range from research related to how behavioral, cultural, and institutional change toward a sustainable path can be accomplished to generating fora to discuss and illuminate that path.
Thus it was decided to retain the well-known acronym and re-focus the name to a more accurate description: the Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere.
In April 2014 a chapter detailing the MAHB's scientific approach and research agenda for sustainability was included in the book Understanding Society and Natural Resources: Forging new strands of integration across the social sciences (ed. Michael J. Manfredo, Jerry J. Vaske, Andreas Techkemmer, and Esther A. Duke, Springer). The chapter, "Millenniuam Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere (MAHB): Integrating Social Science and the Humanities into Solving sustainability Challenges", was co-authored by Ilan Kelman, Eugene A. Rosa, Tom R. Burns, Paul Ehrlich, Joan M. Diamond, Nora Machado, Donald Kennedy, and Lennart Olsson.

The University of East London Black Bulls are a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in East London, England. The club was founded in 2007 and is primarily concerned with the game of Gaelic football.
History
The UEL Black Bulls were founded in 2007 following a meeting with the Universities' Sports and Social club. It was the first Gaelic Football club to represent the University of East London. Within a month, the new club had made their mark defeating the University of Worcester in Oxford. Unfortunately, the hosts had inflicted the fledgling club's first defeat just hours earlier.
The nickname 'Black Bulls' derives from a local Irish-owned hostelry in the Stratford area of London that provided sponsorship for the club.

The ICON Complex is a low rise building in Hobart, Tasmania, situated in the city's centre. ICON Complex has access on two main street fronts, Murray and Liverpool. The Myer department store is situated on Liverpool Street, replacing the Myer lost on the same site in 2007. The Liverpool Street site consists of the ICON Complex shopping centre, boasting many national and international brands including MECCA MAXIMA and Scotch and Soda (Clothing).
ICON Complex will mark InterContinental Hotels Group's entry into the Tasmanian market with the 235-room Crowne Plaza Hobart.
Stage 1 opened in November 2015 and Stage 2 opened in May 2018.
History
Being relatively small compared to interstate capital cities, the city of Hobart long drew a sense of its identity from the Myer department store. Occupying , with frontages on both Liverpool and Murray streets, it was known as Hobart's Anchor store. In 2007, a fire destroyed the larger, Liverpool street section of Myer.

Communalness, as suggested by Robert A. Freitas Jr., is a level of an emergent phenomenon which originates from electronic sentience, and represents a broader mode of thinking than just normal consciousness. While consciousness is limited to the individual, communalness describes a complex organization of numerous individuals which on a higher level is tightly connected to each other. Such an organization would maybe have the same intimate awareness of its own existence as a whole as people have consciousness of their own bodies.

The women's quadruple sculls competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics took place at Lake Casitas, California, United States.
Competition format
The competition consisted of two main rounds (heats and finals) as well as a repechage. The 7 boats were divided into two heats for the first round, with 4 boats in one heat and 3 in the other. The winner of each heat advanced directly to the "A" final (1st through 6th place). The remaining 5 boats were placed in the repechage. A single heat was held in the repechage. The top four boats in the repechage went to the "A" final. The remaining boat (5th place in the repechage) was eliminated at 7th place overall.
All races were over a 1000-metre course. The women's quadruple sculls used a coxswain beginning with the 1976 Montreal Games. This was the last time that a coxswain was used.
Results
Heats
The heats were held on July 30, during calm winds on a warm day (27 °C). The winner of each advanced to the A final, with all others going to the repechage. No boats were eliminated in this round.
Heat 1
The Romanian boat established a 2.5 second lead over the West Germans by the halfway mark and won easily. The French team moved past the Germans into second place over the second half, with the Canadians also (by only .02 seconds) overtaking West Germany.
Heat 2
The second heat resulted in an extremely close finish. The American boat had a half-second lead over the Danes at the halfway mark, but the Danish team closed the distance over the last 500 metres. The final margin for the United States was .01 seconds, allowing them to skip the repechage and go straight to the final, while Denmark went to race in the repechage. Italy was not competitive in this race, finishing 8 seconds after the other two boats.
Repechage
The repechage was held on August 1. The winds were calm, though the day was cooler than during the heats (16 °C). Of the five boats in the repechage, all but one would advance to the final—only the last place boat would be eliminated (taking 7th place).
The West Germany boat started strong, holding nearly a full second lead at the halfway mark. Denmark, France, Italy, and Canada were roughly evenly spaced after that, with approximately half a second between each of those boats. Over the second half of the course, Denmark proved the best—passing West Germany to win by nearly 2 seconds. Canada was unable to gain ground on 4th-place Italy, and finished as the only boat not to reach the final.
Final
Unlike most other rowing events, the women's quadruple sculls had only a single final (with 7 boats in the event, a "B" final would have consisted of only a single team). The final was held on August 4, a cool (18 °C) day with no wind. West Germany again started strong, taking a lead of 1.2 seconds by the halfway mark, before falling back. Romania ultimately won relatively comfortably, beating the silver medalists by a second and a half. The description of the battle for second place in Sports-Reference indicates a very close finish ("the United States and Denmark battled to the line for silver, with the former coming out ahead by another hair's breadth: 0.05 seconds"), though this is not supported by the official times, which have the Americans winning by 0.45 seconds—a close race, but not nearly so close as the two had in the heats.
The third through sixth place teams finished in the same order as they had in the repechage, with Denmark taking the bronze followed by West Germany, France, and Italy.
