The third iteration debuted in Osborn #1 (January 2011), and was created by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios.
Fictional character biography
Wallace
The first version features a powerful but largely unknown villain known as Wallace. Though it isn't apparent whether or not the Kingmaker has any superhuman powers of his own, his personal fortune and resources have allied him with various figures of the supervillain underworld. In essence, the kingmaker is a high-stakes loan shark, but one who deals in favours rather than money. His standard agreement involves delivering any wish to an applicant in exchange for a favour to be named later. His network of favours has given him vast financial reserves, business agreements with powerful individuals, and a personal trove of high-tech weaponry for his personal defence. He may even have some magical strength to draw upon. He has a history with Emma Frost as a result of her rejection of his bid for membership in the Hellfire Club.
When New X-Men member Hellion was denied a family inheritance, he investigated their financial history, eventually discovering their involvement with the Kingmaker. Conducting a peculiar ritual, Hellion and his teammates were contacted by the Kingmaker, who offered their standard contract. In exchange for their deepest wishes, the kids were tasked with stealing a device for their benefactor. Unbeknownst to the Hellions, the device was a biological weapon that the Kingmaker was retrieving for none other than Doctor Octopus. The kids managed to retrieve the device, but after a briefing with Nick Fury, the Hellions turned on the Kingmaker. After several losing battles, the Hellions finally managed to defeat the villain, who was then arrested. He was later released by Emma, who convinced him to leave Frost's students alone under the threat of using mental powers to get him sent back to jail.
Bullseye's Father
The second version is the father of Bullseye and appeared during the Dark Reign storyline. When Bullseye was fighting an army of Hawkeyes and took them out except for one, he was captured by Solo and brought before the Kingmaker. The Kingmaker prepares to trade his old burned husk of a body for Bullseye's by placing his brain in his son's body. Unfortunately, nobody told him that Bullseye's bones are laced with adamantium which not only is impossible to cut, but also blocks Kingmaker's neural inhibitor.
Bullseye fights his way through Solo in order to get to his dad. After Bullseye successfully kills the Kingmaker, Ben Urich is frightened from filing a story on the Kingmaker.
Pryor Cashman
The third version is Pryor Cashman. He is described as a "demon entity" who psychically "feeds" off the memory of any human. He is additionally able to see and alter the memories of others, and has used this ability in the past to create dictators. At some point, he was captured by government officials and incarcerated in a secret location several miles underwater.
When Norman Osborn himself was jailed in the facility after being transferred from the Raft, the Kingmaker was among the inmates who staged a break-out following a prison riot alongside Osborn, June Covington, Ai Apaec, and Carny Rives.
Making their way to an escape pod, Osborn and the rest of the inmates were able to go free. The Kingmaker was last seen on a beach surrounded by children.
Powers and abilities
Wallace had a personal force field and his sunglasses have ruby optic blasts similar to Cyclops's optic blasts.
Pryor Cashman can manipulate memories.

The Glaser-Dirks DG-400 is a single-seat self-launching motorglider that was produced by Glaser-Dirks between 1981 and 1992. It was the first self-launching motorglider with retractable engine and propeller to be produced in large numbers.
Development
The cost of carbon-fibre had fallen enough in the late 1970s to allow its use in the wing spars of high-performance gliders. Glaser-Dirks introduced a carbon wing variant of the DG-200 about this time. Designer Wilhelm Dirks realised that the span, strength and very low weight of this wing allowed for a self-launching engine to be carried in the glider without an unacceptable penalty when soaring in weak conditions. The DG-400 was created as a result. It first flew in May 1981.
The DG-400 uses the wings and most systems of the DG-202. It has a modified fuselage with a slightly enlarged tailcone and carbon fibre reinforcements to accommodate the engine, which is a relatively large unit with electric starter and electric retraction. This powerful installation, with a user-friendly engine control unit, made the DG-400 easier to operate than other self-launching gliders.
As was typical for the time, the engine, propeller and supporting pylon constitute a single unit that extends into the airflow (in more recent self-launchers the engine usually stays inside the fuselage). The type may be flown either with 15 metre or 17 metre wingtips.
The DG-400 was not aimed at competitions, but rather at leisure flying. Nevertheless, several World Gliding Records have been achieved flying this type.

Norma, or A Politician's Love (Norwegian:Norma eller En Politikers Kjærlighed) is an eight-page drama written as an opera parody by Henrik Ibsen. It is influenced by Vincenzo Bellini's opera Norma, which Ibsen saw in 1851, but the characters are contemporary politicians. The play was first printed anonymously in the satirical magazine Andhrimner in 1851. The first book edition came in 1909, and the first performance of the play was at a student theatre in Trondheim 1994.

The Näätämö (Finland) or Neiden (Norway, , , ) is a river in Finland's Lapland, north of Lake Inari. It flows from Lake Iijärvi in Inari Municipality through Norway's Sør-Varanger Municipality and empties into the Neidenfjorden, an arm off the main Varangerfjorden.
The portion of the river within Finland, the Näätämö, is approximately long and drops down approximately from the elevation of Lake Iijärvi ( above sea level). At several points, the river widens into lakes, of which the largest are Lakes Kaarttilompolo, Vuodasluobal, and Opukas.
Based on annual catch, the Neiden is Norway's third most productive river for salmon fishing. Atlantic salmon, lake trout, sea trout, graylings and pike are all indigenous species.

Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort is the first integrated resort in Sri Lanka and the largest private investment in the country. Sri Lankan-British architect, Cecil Balmond designed the resort while Hyundai Engineering & Construction is the main contractor. The construction of the resort began in 2014. All the buildings in the resort topped off in May 2019. Even though the resort was originally planned to be completed by 2018, the project got delayed several times due to various reasons. John Keells started handing over keys to the suites apartments in August 2021. With handing over of residential and commercial units, revenue recognition started at Cinnamon Life. The remainder of the project is scheduled to be launched in a phased manner, in the second half of 2024.
History
2014-18
Cecil Balmond is the architect of the project while Hyundai Engineering & Construction is the main contractor. Waterfront Properties (Pvt) Ltd, a subsidiary of John Keells Holdings, will manage the property which will be of total floor area. Construction of Cinnamon Life began in 2014 and the 'Suites Tower' topped off in December 2018. Over 50 percent of the floor area of the first residential tower is already sold by September 2016.
2019-Present
65% of the residential tower's floor area including six penthouses out of 25 are presold by March 2019. A quarter of buyers are expatriates while 7%-8% are foreign investors. Starting price of an apartment was US$400,000. All buildings including the Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort topped off in May 2019. The project was scheduled to finish in 2018 but the expected completion was delayed to March 2020 for Office Tower while it would be the first quarter of 2023 for the hotel and retail mall. The cost of the project has also risen due to the depreciation of the Sri Lankan rupee against the US dollar. The revenue expected from the residential apartment and commercial office space is US$250 million. The construction stopped in March 2020 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic but resumed in May 2020 with keeping up with health guidelines imposed by the health authorities. Prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa paid a brief impromptu visit to the site in October 2020.
Daily Mirror reported that Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort might get licenses from the government to operate casinos within the resort. On the dawn of the new year, 2021 resort's residential tower lightened up to read "2021 Hope". In February 2021, the resort's office and suites towers received the certificate of conformity and were scheduled to hand over to the occupants in March 2021. John Keells Properties started handing over the keys to the suites apartments in August 2021. The apartment tower consists of 196 units with two-four bedrooms. Revenue recognition at Cinnamon Life commenced after the handing over of residential and commercial units. The remainder of the project is planned to be launched in a phased manner, in the first half of 2023.
Resort
The US$850 million investment will be the largest private investment in Sri Lanka and the resort will also include 427 apartments. The hotel consists of 800 rooms and twenty restaurants and bars including six specialty restaurants. A five-storeyed shopping mall will connect to the hotel and the resort is expected to be a hub for MICE (Meetings, incentives, conferencing, exhibitions).

Phase Genomics is an American biotechnology company based in Seattle, Washington. The company develops proximity ligation kits and Hi-C sequencing technology used to analyze chromosomes. Phase Genomics sells proximity ligation kits, scientific services, and computational analyses.
History
The company was founded by Ivan Liachko and Shawn Sullivan in 2015. It was originally housed in the CoMotion biotech incubator at University of Washington before relocating to a separate facility. It develops proximity ligation kits and Hi-C sequencing technology used to analyze chromosomes. The company sells proximity ligation kits, scientific services, and computational analyses.
Research
Phase Genomics developed a library preparation kit for the Hi-C sequencing method previously developed by researchers Job Dekker and Eric Lander. The kits are used to study the architecture of genomes. In 2018, Phase Genomics received a $1.5 million SBIR grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to research antimicrobial resistance using Hi-C technology. In January 2020, it was awarded an additional $1.5 million from NIAID for phase 2 SBIR funding. In 2019, Phase Genomics received $200,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to improve computational methods of extracting genomic data in microbiome samples. Later in 2019, the company was awarded $325,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to research algae biofuels using proximity litigation technology for metagenome assembly. In 2020, Phase Genomics received 2 grants totaling $3.9 million from the National Human Genome Research Institute and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The 3-year grants fund research on chromosomal abnormalities causing cancer, infertility, and reproductive issues.
In June 2021, the company released a platform for discovering new viruses in microbiome samples.

Floridobia is a genus of very small freshwater snails (and one species found in brackish coastal marshes) that have an operculum, in the family Hydrobiidae, the mud snails.
Floridobia siltsnails are dioecious (having separate male and female individuals). Females are usually much larger and more numerous than males. They are believed to have a life-span of about one year. In the relatively warm waters of Florida springs, reproduction occurs year-round. The snails feed on microbial organisms and detritus attached to surfaces. Floridobia species tolerate low dissolved oxygen levels found near spring vents, which helps protect then from most fish predators.
A study of F. floridana reported that the increased presence of cyanobacteria in its diet slowed its growth. Cyanobacteria blooms are becoming more common in Florida springs due to excess nitrogen entering the groundwater feeding springs, thus threatening the survival of siltsnails.
Species of Floridobia were classified in the genus Cincinnatia prior to 2002, based on the structure of the penis. Thompson and Hershler erected the new genus of Floridobia in 2002, moving 15 species from Cincinnatia, based on the structure of the penis and the female genitalia. A study of mitochondrial DNA in nymphophiline snails published in 2003 found that Floridobia formed a monophyletic clade, with F. winkleyi as a sister to the Florida Floridobia species.
Species
Most of the known species in the genus are endemic to a single spring, a set of springs, or a spring run, in Florida. Species within the genus Floridobia include:
Two possible new Floridobia species have been identified, but have not been published and accepted as of 2023. Floridobia species A has been reported from the Ogeechee River in Georgia. The Waccamaw Floridobia has been reported from Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina.

Ian Reid (born 6 February 1951) is a Scottish former professional footballer, who played as a striker for Dundee United, Queen of the South, Airdrieonians and Forfar Athletic.
Career
Reid was born in Glasgow and started his career as a youth player at Nottingham Forest. However he was unable to secure a senior contract.
He joined Dundee United in July 1970, making his senior debut the following month. Despite an impressive early impact, including scoring against Grasshoppers in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, he spent most of his three years at the club playing in the reserves. Reid played in 12 league matches for the Tannadice Park club and scored 3 goals.
Reid signed for Queen of the South in September 1973, having initially turned down the move the previous month. Reid played in 193 matches in all competitions for Queens, with 154 of those being league matches. Reid is tenth equal in Queens all-time goalscoring charts alongside Jimmy Robertson with 89 goals in all competitions, with 79 being league goals. Fellow player Ian McChesney described Reid as 'the player who made things tick'. Reid's Queens career came to an end in January 1977.
He transferred for a fee of £4,000 to Airdrieonians. There he played in 7 league matches and scored 2 goals.
Reid then played with Forfar Athletic. There he played in 29 league matches and scored 7 goals.

Marion Columbus Hedgepeth (October 1864 – December 31, 1909) – also known as the Handsome Bandit, the Debonair Bandit, the Derby Kid and the Montana Bandit – was a famous Wild West outlaw.
Early life
Hedgepeth was born near Prairie Home, Missouri, in October 1864, although his date of birth has erroneously been given as April 14, 1856. He allegedly ran away from home at age 15, worked as a cowboy, and was an outlaw by the time he was 20, having killed in Colorado and Wyoming, as well as having robbed trains. This, however, is also incorrect.
Appearance and reputation
In a 1996 American Cowboy article titled "The Debonair Killer", David P. Grady noted: "Marion Hedgepeth looked like a dude, but 'dangerous' and 'deadly' fit him better". The dark-complexioned, wavy-haired six footer, who roamed from town to town as a hired gun, Grady wrote, maintained the fastidious, gentlemanly appearance of a dandy, sporting a bowler hat and diamond stickpin. WANTED posters noted that his shoes were usually polished.
An article published in the Express Gazette, Volume 20 by "a man from Missouri", who described himself as "a disinterested student of train robbing", indicated that appearances were strategically important to Marion and his crew. In preparation for the Glendale robbery, he noted, Hedgepeth, "his three pals" and his wife "assembled in that city and rented a house in a fashionable quarter of the town. They furnished the house well, and during the two or three weeks prior to the holdup, each robber purchased for himself swell attire piece by piece, so as not to attract attention."
Despite his swell appearance, however, Hedgepeth "was a deadly killer and one of the fastest guns in the Wild, Wild West". Allan Pinkerton, whose National Detective Agency had sought to capture Hedgepeth and his gang for years, noted that Marion Hedgepeth once gunned down another outlaw who had already unholstered his pistol before Hedgepeth had drawn his revolver.
Criminal career and consequences
Hedgepeth was arrested at the age of 15 after he and Henry Sanders robbed the general store in Prairie Home in 1880. In November 1883, he was sentenced to serve a term of seven years in the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City, Missouri, on the charges of larceny and jail breaking. He was discharged on February 16, 1889.
Hedgepeth lived for a while in a lawless region of Kansas City, Missouri, an area known as "Seldom Seen" because the police were seldom seen there. He became a member of the "famous Slye-Wilson gang of safe blowers and highwaymen".
On November 30, 1891, Hedgepeth and the other members of Slye-Wilson gang (Adelbert Denton "Bertie" Slye, James "Illinois Jimmy" Francis and Lucius "Dink" Wilson) – which later came to be referred to as the "Hedgepeth Four" – robbed a train of $20,000 in Glendale, Missouri, near St. Louis, Missouri. The gang fled to Salt Lake City and disbanded. After being relentlessly pursued by the Pinkertons, he was finally arrested on February 10, 1892, in San Francisco and brought back to Missouri for trial. Convicted, he was sentenced in 1893 to 25 years in the Missouri State Penitentiary. Before being sent to the state prison, Hedgepeth informed on a former cell-mate, whom he knew as "H.M. Howard" but was really Herman Webster Mudgett, better known as H. H. Holmes, which eventually resulted in the notorious killer's unmasking, conviction and execution in 1896. For this and other considerations, Hedgepeth was pardoned by Missouri state governor Joseph W. Folk 14 years into his 25-year term. He was released sick with tuberculosis and "looked like a skeleton and appeared 60 years old."
He was arrested in 1907 in Omaha, for the burglary of a storage house at Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was convicted and sent to the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison, Iowa in March 1908, and upon appeal was released after serving one year.
Hedgepeth was shot and killed by Edward Jaburek on December 31, 1909, during a botched Chicago saloon robbery at 18th and Avers Avenue. He died at St. Anthony's Hospital and was buried in the Cook County Cemetery on the grounds of the Cook County Poor Farm at Dunning.
The fates of the other three members of the "Hedgepeth four" were:
Adelbert Slye was arrested in Los Angeles, California; he pled guilty and received a twenty-year sentence
James Francis killed Fort Scott, Kansas, policeman S.B. McLemore on January 23, 1892, and was killed in Pleasanton, Kansas
Lucius Wilson was involved in the killing of Syracuse, New York, Detective James A. Harvey on August 1, 1893, and was arrested; he was executed May 14, 1894

Fred Maltby Warner (July 21, 1865 – April 17, 1923) was an American politician. He served as the 26th governor of Michigan from 1905 to 1911.
Birth in England and early life in Michigan
Born in Hickling, Nottinghamshire, England, Warner spent most of his life in Michigan. Warner was orphaned at three months of age and adopted by a family in Farmington. His adoptive father, P. Dean Warner, served in both chambers of the state legislature during periods from 1852 to 1870.
He attended the common schools there and later attended the Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University). He worked at his father's store and later, as a Farmington businessman and agriculturist, he established thirteen cheese factories.
Politics
As a prominent citizen he rose quickly in politics in 1894. From 1895 to 1898 he served in the Michigan Senate just as his father did. From 1901 until 1904 he served as the Michigan Secretary of State under Aaron T. Bliss.
In 1904, Warner was elected Governor of Michigan and served three terms, 1905–1911. He was known as a progressive governor advocating such policies as regulation of railroad and insurance, conservation, child labor laws and woman's suffrage. Also during his six years in office, a factory inspection bill was authorized, a direct primary election law was sanctioned and there was a promotion of highway construction.
Retirement and death
After leaving office, he stayed politically active. Warner was a member of the Freemasons, Shriners, Elks, Knights of Pythias, and Maccabees. In 1920, he began serving as a Republican National Committeeman until his death three years later. He died at the age of 57 from kidney failure and is interred at Oakwood Cemetery in Farmington, Michigan.

Gaston Mullegg (24 August 1890 – 3 August 1958), also known as Mühlegg, was a Swiss sports official. He was the president of the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Aviron (FISA), the International Rowing Federation, from 1949 or 1950 (sources differ) until his death.
Mullegg was born in 1890 in Murten, Switzerland. He had an interest for many sports but his passion was for rowing. As a rowing official, he was involved in organising the Olympic rowing competitions in Amsterdam (1928), Los Angeles (1932), Berlin (1936), London (1948), Helsinki (1952), and Melbourne (1956). He became president of FISA when he succeeded Rico Fioroni in 1949 or 1950.
Aged 64, Mullegg obtained a pilot's license. He was piloting a plane near the Parc de Mon Repos in Lausanne when the engine lost power. Mullegg was killed in the crash and his two passengers, French rowers Jean Méry and Louis Patricot, suffered serious injuries. He was survived by his wife and succeeded by Thomas Keller as president of FISA.
Mullegg is credited with conceiving the idea of having World Rowing Championships. The first world championships had been planned for 1958 in Philadelphia but at the FISA congress in 1957, the Americans withdrew from organising the event. Work on contingency plans stopped when Mullegg died. At the FISA congress in November 1958, it was agreed that world championships would proceed and the inaugural World Rowing Championships were held in 1962 in Lucerne.

The Bond Exchange of South Africa (BESA) was a South African bond exchange based in Johannesburg.
It was acquired by the JSE Limited in 2009, and rebranded as the JSE Debt Market.
The entity, now through the JSE Limited, operates and regulates the debt securities and interest rate derivatives markets in South Africa.
Prior to its acquisition it was constituted as a public company.
History
BESA was granted its exchange license in 1996 and over the next twelve years was responsible for the development of the bond market in South Africa. As an exchange, BESA was in the business of providing a range of platforms and services to address the needs of capital market participants, be it issuers, market makers, traders or investors.
In December 2007, BESA converting from a mutual association to a public company. This was followed by a rights issue which was concluded in October 2008, injecting fresh capital into the business and introducing new strategic partners to the exchange. With demutualisation and capitalisation achieved, BESA focused attention on furthering capital market infrastructure in South Africa through the introduction of projects such as;
BondClear Limited - a clearing solution developed in partnership with Nasdaq, Inc.
Justrade.com - South Africa’s first online binary options exchange
By 2008 the South African bond market was a leader among emerging-market economies. Turnover reported on BESA in 2008 reached R19.2 trillion. Given listed debt securities of R825 billion nominal. However the local bond market was still dominated by securities issued by the South African government, with local government, public enterprises and major corporations accounting for the rest of the debt issuers active in the market. The number of borrowers and listed bonds as well as the market capitalisation had all risen sharply, at December 2008 BESA had listed some 1,102 debt securities, issued by 100 sovereign and corporate borrowers, with a total market cap of R935 billion.
In 2009 the Johannesburg Stock Exchange acquired the BESA for R240 million and rebranded as the JSE Debt Market.
Rules and protections
As the direct regulator of the bond market, BESA operated within the framework of the Securities Services Act 2004 of South Africa and a set of rules and directives approved by the Financial Services Board (FSB). BESA's rules and directives served as a tool for regulating both issuers and trading participants. Extensive rules also applied to trading participants, with BESA undertaking active surveillance over all aspects of market activity as well as requiring compliance with a variety of best-practice standards.

Mitchell Mann (born 26 December 1991) is an English former professional snooker player.
Career
Junior
Mann first played snooker aged 9, after being forced to quit football after a diagnosis of Legg–Calvé–Perthes syndrome, a rare disease which rots the hip bone in young boys. The main highlight of his junior career was winning the Junior Pot Black in 2007, beating Jack Lisowski 76–23 in the final.
Amateur
In 2007–08, Mann at aged 15 began to play in the secondary International Open Series tour with eight places on the professional snooker tour on offer to the top eight in the end of season Order of Merit. In 2008–09, Mann was ranked 11th in the Order of Merit and 46th in 2009–10.
For 2010–11, the PIOS was dropped and replaced by the pro-am Players Tour Championship and an end-of season Q School became the new pro ticket events. In the PTC events, Mann managed several wins against professional players Liang Wenbo, Michael White, Dave Harold and Shaun Murphy notable casualties. He also qualified for main qualifying stages of the 2010 World Open professional ranking tournament through the Landywood Snooker Centre tournament, losing 0–3 to Ben Woollaston in round 1.
Mann was also a regular competitor in the Q School events, where several two-year tour cards were on offer to semi-finalists in each event. Mann came close the third event of the 2012 Q School to winning a tour place, lost a deciding frame to Robbie Williams. This performance however, enabled Mann to be a top up player for 2012 Australian Goldfields Open professional ranking event, where he reached the third round last 64 stage. He also played in the 2013 event via the same method, but lost 5–1 to Stuart Carrington in first round last 128 stage.
Professional
Mann won a two-year card on the professional World Snooker Tour for the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons in June 2014 after winning the 2014 EBSA European Snooker Championships, beating John Whitty 7–2 in the final. He missed the first two ranking tournaments of 2014–15 season as this win came after the qualifying rounds of those events. He picked up his first win on the tour by edging experienced player Peter Lines 6–5 in qualifying for the International Championship. He came through a wildcard round match 6–1 against Niu Zhuang and then made a 142 break during a 6–5 win over Wang Zepeng. In Mann's deepest run in a ranking event to date he lost 6–4 to Michael White in the last 32. He was knocked out in the first round of both the UK Championship and Welsh Open. Mann saw off Alfie Burden 10–4 in World Championship qualifying and won three frames in a row, after Gerard Greene had come from 4–0 down to trail 7–6, to beat him 10–6. He required one more win to reach the biggest tournament in snooker, but lost 10–6 to Alan McManus. Mann was the world number 88 at the end of his first season on tour.
Mann defeated Zhou Yuelong 4–2 at the Welsh Open and then narrowly lost 4–3 to Shaun Murphy. At the final European Tour event, the Gdynia Open, Mann eliminated Sanderson Lam 4–3, Rhys Clark 4–3 (having been 3–0 down) and Jack Lisowski 4–2 to reach the last 16 where he lost 4–1 to Marco Fu. This performance helped him finish 45th on the Order of Merit to earn a new two-year place on the snooker tour. He qualified for the China Open, but was whitewashed 5–0 by Rory McLeod in the first round. By beating Kishan Hirani 10–7 and Matthew Selt 10–9, Mann was one win away from playing in the World Championship and he did so by edging out Dechawat Poomjaeng 10–9. The world number 74 Mann was the lowest ranked player in the event and the only debutant and he went 2–1 up early on, before struggling with his technique to lose 10–3.
After winning just two of his 11 matches before the 2016 UK Championship, Mann described his 6–3 first round victory over Kyren Wilson as a massive relief. He then beat Sam Baird 6–2, before falling 6–3 to Zhang Anda in the third round. At the Scottish Open he eliminated Baird 4–2 and Anthony McGill 4–1, but then lost 4–1 to Sean O'Sullivan. Mann reached the last 32 of an event for the third time this season when he overcame Michael Holt 4–1 and O'Sullivan 4–2 at the Welsh Open and he was defeated 4–2 by Kurt Maflin.
Having dropped off the tour at the end of the 2017/18 season he entered the 2018 Q School. However, he lost in the first round of the first event to former professional Michael Judge. He then lost in the subsequent q school events, thus ensuring that he will have to wait another year before attempting to regain professional status.
On 3 May 2019, it was announced by World Snooker that Mann would receive a two-year tour card to return to the professional tour for the two seasons 2019–20 season and 2020/21. In June 2021 he secured a spot on the 21-22 and 22–23 seasons via the 2021 Q School Order of Merit.

Early life
Holding was born and raised in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester. He attended West Hill School in the town.

Bolton Wanderers
Holding played for Stalybridge Celtic Juniors before joining the Bolton Wanderers youth system at the age of seven. He joined League Two club Bury on loan on 26 March 2015 for rest of the 2014–15 season.

After his performance in the game against Leicester City, former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, once famously said in the post match press conference, "Unfortunately no one speaks about the performance of Rob Holding. You should be happy, he is English and 20 years old. I am sorry he didn't cost £55 million, so he can't be good." In the final two months of the season, Holding became a regular member of Arsenal's starting line-up, with the team winning all six of the matches he played in the Premier League. He played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal's 2–1 victory over Chelsea on 27 May in the 2017 FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.

(1874) is the fourth novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. In many ways a sequel to the first novel in the cycle, (1871), this novel is again centred on the fictional Provençal town of Plassans and its plot revolves around a sinister cleric's attempt at political intrigue with disastrous consequences for some of the townsfolk.
At the start of the novel, the home life of Francois Mouret and his wife and cousin Marthe (née Rougon) is portrayed as a generally pleasant and relaxed existence. Francois is slightly compulsive in his behaviour and Marthe clearly suffers from some sort of mental illness, which Zola intended to portray as a genetic consequence of the Rougon-Macquart family's tangled ancestry. Their three children include the eldest son Octave, an intelligent but feckless ladies' man (featured as the principal character of two later novels in the cycle, Pot-Bouille (1882) and (1883), but here little more than a footnote), as well as the quiet and introverted younger son Serge and the mentally handicapped daughter Desirée. Their home lives are shattered by the arrival of a strange cleric, Abbé Faujas, and his mother, who rent a room in the Mourets' house. Slowly, it transpires that the mysterious stranger has arrived to try to win influence in the town for outside political forces (which never manifest themselves) through a series of Machiavellian intrigues, plots, slanders and insinuations; in the process of doing so, he proceeds to unravel the Mourets' lives to such an extent that the bewildered Francois is unwillingly and unnecessarily committed to a mental institution, while poor Marthe becomes obsessively religious, though whether her devotion is to God or Faujas becomes increasingly unclear. In Mouret's absence, and Marthe's indifference, Faujas unscrupulous sister Olympe and brother in law Trouche take over the Mouret's house, and live high at their expense. The reaction of the townsfolk to Faujas' outside influence is fascinatingly drawn by Zola, and the tactics of the groups who are in "resistance" to Abbé Faujas' clever machinations are very keenly observed. The narrative is kept up at a tremendous pace and builds to a quite astonishing climax of violence and horror as Zola ends the novel in a near-apocalyptic fury.
Although the novel does assume in its readers a degree of familiarity with the battle between clerical political interests and governmental influence in the provincial towns of the Second Empire - knowledge which Zola's contemporary readers would certainly have taken for granted, but which seems obscure and almost arcane now - its strength lies not in its politics but in its human drama. On the face of it this could have been a relatively dull series of political observations, but instead by the end it is almost a melodrama, such is the anticlerical fury which Zola instils in his work.
The English translation done by Ernest Vizetelly in the 1880s, still in print under the title The Conquest of Plassans, is much more readable than many of the other Vizetelly texts. A more modern retranslation was undertaken by Brian Rhys for Elek Books and published in 1957 under the more expressive but less faithful title A Priest in the House, but it is no longer widely available. The 2014 translation by Helen Constantine was published by Oxford World Classics.

In the study of heat transfer, Newton's law of cooling is a physical law which states that
The rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its environment.
The law is frequently qualified to include the condition that the temperature difference is small and the nature of heat transfer mechanism remains the same. As such, it is equivalent to a statement that the heat transfer coefficient, which mediates between heat losses and temperature differences, is a constant.
In heat conduction, Newton's Law is generally followed as a consequence of Fourier's law. The thermal conductivity of most materials is only weakly dependent on temperature, so the constant heat transfer coefficient condition is generally met. In convective heat transfer, Newton's Law is followed for forced air or pumped fluid cooling, where the properties of the fluid do not vary strongly with temperature, but it is only approximately true for buoyancy-driven convection, where the velocity of the flow increases with temperature difference. In the case of heat transfer by thermal radiation, Newton's law of cooling holds only for very small temperature differences.
When stated in terms of temperature differences, Newton's law (with several further simplifying assumptions, such as a low Biot number and a temperature-independent heat capacity) results in a simple differential equation expressing temperature-difference as a function of time. The solution to that equation describes an exponential decrease of temperature-difference over time. This characteristic decay of the temperature-difference is also associated with Newton's law of cooling.
Historical background
Isaac Newton published his work on cooling anonymously in 1701 as "Scala graduum Caloris. Calorum Descriptiones & signa" in Philosophical Transactions, volume 22, issue 270.
Newton did not originally state his law in the above form in 1701. Rather, using today's terms, Newton noted after some mathematical manipulation that the rate of temperature change of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings. This final simplest version of the law, given by Newton himself, was partly due to confusion in Newton's time between the concepts of heat and temperature, which would not be fully disentangled until much later.
In 2020, Maruyama and Moriya repeated Newton's experiments with modern apparatus, and they applied modern data reduction techniques. In particular, these investigators took account of thermal radiation at high temperatures (as for the molten metals Newton used), and they accounted for buoyancy effects on the air flow. By comparison to Newton's original data, they concluded that his measurements (from 1692 to 1693) had been "quite accurate".
Relationship to mechanism of cooling
Convection cooling is sometimes said to be governed by "Newton's law of cooling." When the heat transfer coefficient is independent, or relatively independent, of the temperature difference between object and environment, Newton's law is followed. The law holds well for forced air and pumped liquid cooling, where the fluid velocity does not rise with increasing temperature difference. Newton's law is most closely obeyed in purely conduction-type cooling. However, the heat transfer coefficient is a function of the temperature difference in natural convective (buoyancy driven) heat transfer. In that case, Newton's law only approximates the result when the temperature difference is relatively small. Newton himself realized this limitation.
A correction to Newton's law concerning convection for larger temperature differentials by including an exponent, was made in 1817 by Dulong and Petit. (These men are better-known for their formulation of the Dulong–Petit law concerning the molar specific heat capacity of a crystal.)
Another situation that does not obey Newton's law is radiative heat transfer. Radiative cooling is better described by the Stefan–Boltzmann law in which the heat transfer rate varies as the difference in the 4th powers of the absolute temperatures of the object and of its environment.
Mathematical formulation of Newton's law
The statement of Newton's law used in the heat transfer literature puts into mathematics the idea that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings. For a temperature-independent heat transfer coefficient, the statement is:
where
is the rate of heat transfer out of the body (SI unit: watt),
is the heat transfer coefficient (assumed independent of T and averaged over the surface) (SI unit: W/m2⋅K),
is the heat transfer surface area (SI unit: m2),
is the temperature of the object's surface (SI unit: K),
is the temperature of the environment; i.e., the temperature suitably far from the surface (SI unit: K),
is the time-dependent temperature difference between environment and object (SI unit: K).
The heat transfer coefficient h depends upon physical properties of the fluid and the physical situation in which convection occurs. Therefore, a single usable heat transfer coefficient (one that does not vary significantly across the temperature-difference ranges covered during cooling and heating) must be derived or found experimentally for every system that is to be analyzed.
Formulas and correlations are available in many references to calculate heat transfer coefficients for typical configurations and fluids. For laminar flows, the heat transfer coefficient is usually smaller than in turbulent flows because turbulent flows have strong mixing within the boundary layer on the heat transfer surface. Note the heat transfer coefficient changes in a system when a transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurs.
Simplified formulation
By non-dimensionalizing, the differential equation becomes
where
is the rate of heat loss (SI unit: K/second),
is the temperature of the object's surface (SI unit: K),
is the temperature of the environment; i.e., the temperature suitably far from the surface (SI unit: K),
is the coefficient of heat transfer (SI unit: second).
Solving the initial-value problem using separation of variables gives
The Biot number
The Biot number, a dimensionless quantity, is defined for a body as
where
h = film coefficient or heat transfer coefficient or convective heat transfer coefficient,
LC = characteristic length, which is commonly defined as the volume of the body divided by the surface area of the body, such that ,
kb = thermal conductivity of the body.
The physical significance of Biot number can be understood by imagining the heat flow from a hot metal sphere suddenly immersed in a pool to the surrounding fluid. The heat flow experiences two resistances: the first outside the surface of the sphere, and the second within the solid metal (which is influenced by both the size and composition of the sphere). The ratio of these resistances is the dimensionless Biot number.
If the thermal resistance at the fluid/sphere interface exceeds that thermal resistance offered by the interior of the metal sphere, the Biot number will be less than one. For systems where it is much less than one, the interior of the sphere may be presumed always to have the same temperature, although this temperature may be changing, as heat passes into the sphere from the surface. The equation to describe this change in (relatively uniform) temperature inside the object, is the simple exponential one described in Newton's law of cooling expressed in terms of temperature difference (see below).
In contrast, the metal sphere may be large, causing the characteristic length to increase to the point that the Biot number is larger than one. In this case, temperature gradients within the sphere become important, even though the sphere material is a good conductor. Equivalently, if the sphere is made of a thermally insulating (poorly conductive) material, such as wood or styrofoam, the interior resistance to heat flow will exceed that at the fluid/sphere boundary, even with a much smaller sphere. In this case, again, the Biot number will be greater than one.
Values of the Biot number smaller than 0.1 imply that the heat conduction inside the body is much faster than the heat convection away from its surface, and temperature gradients are negligible inside of it. This can indicate the applicability (or inapplicability) of certain methods of solving transient heat transfer problems. For example, a Biot number less than 0.1 typically indicates less than 5% error will be present when assuming a lumped-capacitance model of transient heat transfer (also called lumped system analysis). Typically, this type of analysis leads to simple exponential heating or cooling behavior ("Newtonian" cooling or heating) since the internal energy of the body is directly proportional to its temperature, which in turn determines the rate of heat transfer into or out of it. This leads to a simple first-order differential equation which describes heat transfer in these systems.
Having a Biot number smaller than 0.1 labels a substance as "thermally thin," and temperature can be assumed to be constant throughout the material's volume. The opposite is also true: A Biot number greater than 0.1 (a "thermally thick" substance) indicates that one cannot make this assumption, and more complicated heat transfer equations for "transient heat conduction" will be required to describe the time-varying and non-spatially-uniform temperature field within the material body. Analytic methods for handling these problems, which may exist for simple geometric shapes and uniform material thermal conductivity, are described in the article on the heat equation.
Application of Newton's law of transient cooling
Simple solutions for transient cooling of an object may be obtained when the internal thermal resistance within the object is small in comparison to the resistance to heat transfer away from the object's surface (by external conduction or convection), which is the condition for which the Biot number is less than about 0.1. This condition allows the presumption of a single, approximately uniform temperature inside the body, which varies in time but not with position. (Otherwise the body would have many different temperatures inside it at any one time.) This single temperature will generally change exponentially as time progresses (see below).
The condition of low Biot number leads to the so-called lumped capacitance model. In this model, the internal energy (the amount of thermal energy in the body) is calculated by assuming a constant heat capacity. In that case, the internal energy of the body is a linear function of the body's single internal temperature.
The lumped capacitance solution that follows assumes a constant heat transfer coefficient, as would be the case in forced convection. For free convection, the lumped capacitance model can be solved with a heat transfer coefficient that varies with temperature difference.
First-order transient response of lumped-capacitance objects
A body treated as a lumped capacitance object, with a total internal energy of (in joules), is characterized by a single uniform internal temperature, The heat capacitance, of the body is (in J/K), for the case of an incompressible material. The internal energy may be written in terms of the temperature of the body, the heat capacitance (taken to be independent of temperature), and a reference temperature at which the internal energy is zero:
Differentiating with respect to time gives:
Applying the first law of thermodynamics to the lumped object gives where the rate of heat transfer out of the body, may be expressed by Newton's law of cooling, and where no work transfer occurs for an incompressible material. Thus,
where the time constant of the system is The heat capacitance may be written in terms of the object's specific heat capacity, (J/kg-K), and mass, (kg). The time constant is then
When the environmental temperature is constant in time, we may define The equation becomes
The solution of this differential equation, by integration from the initial condition, is
where is the temperature difference at time 0. Reverting to temperature, the solution is
The temperature difference between the body and the environment decays exponentially as a function of time.

The 1994–95 season was the 64th season for Real Madrid in La Liga.
Summary
During the summer, the club was reinforced in the midfield with Danish playmaker Michael Laudrup (in a controversial transfer from Barcelona) and Argentine Fernando Redondo; right back defender Sánchez Flores arrived from Valencia, and changes came to the dugout too, with Argentine head coach Jorge Valdano arriving from CD Tenerife after seven years of his forced retirement as a player during the climax of "La Quinta del Buitre" era.
The team played a 4–4–2 system with Buyo remaining as goalkeeper, Quique Sánchez Flores replacing aging Chendo as right back, while the central defenders were Fernando Hierro and Manolo Sanchís who replaced an injured Alkorta, along with the left back Mikel Lasa. Valdano changed the midfield towards aggressive play with Redondo and Laudrup in the center, Amavisca played superb as left winger and Luis Enrique took the right wing, a new role for him that turned out to be crucial for the squad. In the attacking line, Zamorano recovered his high level of play after a disastrous campaign last season, winning the Pichichi Trophy as the league top scorer. The season also saw the breakthrough of a 17-year-old forward Raúl who would assume the starting position in place of rapidly declining Alfonso and Emilio Butragueño.
In the meantime, financial worries increased during the season and on 16 February 1995, incumbent Ramon Mendoza defeated challenger Florentino Pérez in the club's longest ever Presidential election by just 698 votes. Mendoza's re-election was possible due to the good pace of the team in the league. Madrid ultimately clinched its first 26th league title and first in five years. In the cup competitions, however, the team was less fortunate, going out at the round of 16 stage both in the Copa del Rey and UEFA Cup to Valencia and Odense, respectively. The latter exit was particularly marred due to an embarrassing 0–2 home loss after a 3–2 first leg away victory.

The men's 200 metres at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Olympic Stadium, Berlin, Germany on August 18 and August 20.
The race favourites were Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt. Gay entered the competition as the reigning world champion, championship record holder, and 200 m world leader with 19.58 seconds. Bolt, the current Olympic champion and world record holder, had a season's best of 19.59 seconds. The last time the two athletes raced was at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, where Gay beat Bolt by a margin of 0.15 seconds. Osaka bronze medallist Wallace Spearmon was the only other athlete to run under twenty seconds that season and former Olympic champion Shawn Crawford was also competing. Up-and-coming athletes Alonso Edward, Steve Mullings and Ramil Guliyev were among the season's fastest sprinters prior to the championships.
After hurting his groin during his American record run in the 100 metres two days earlier, Gay withdrew from the race, effectively rescinding his second world title. The withdrawal of Dwain Chambers, Churandy Martina and Jaysuma Saidy Ndure also reduced the quality of the field.
There were no surprise eliminations in the heats, where Crawford, Mullings, Robert Hering, and Martial Mbandjock were the fastest qualifiers, and Mullings had the fastest time of the quarter-finals round, with all the favourite athletes progressing. On the second day of competition, German number one Hering was eliminated. Bolt and Spearmon were the two semi-final winners, while the third-fastest, 19-year-old Alonso Edward, demonstrated medal winning form.
In the final race, Usain Bolt, the clear favourite, had another world record-breaking run following his 9.58 second record in the 100 metres four days earlier. After having the fastest reaction time of the race, Bolt came out of the bend in first place and extended his lead further in the home straight, beating his previous mark of 19.30 seconds set at the Olympics by 0.11 seconds to take the gold medal and Championship record. Crawford, second fastest at the bend, was overtaken by Edward and Spearmon and eventually finished fourth. Edward vastly improved his previous best to set a South American record of 19.81, while Spearmon was third with 19.85 seconds. At 19 years, 255 days old, silver medallist Edward became the youngest ever world medallist for the men's 200 m.
Although the race between Gay and Bolt had not materialised, Bolt's world record of 19.19 seconds was a highlight of the championships. The overall quality of the event was also high: Edward had improved from 20.62 to 19.81 seconds over the course of one year. Also, with Crawford running 19.89 seconds, it was the first ever 200 m race to see four athletes run under 19.9 seconds. Bolt's winning margin of 0.62 seconds over second-placed Edward was the biggest in World Championship history. He received a $100,000 bonus for his performance, which was 0.13 seconds faster than Michael Johnson's former world record, a mark that had been regarded as one of the best records in the history of athletics.

Lea Mek (1974/1975 – December 3, 1993) was a Cambodian refugee living in the United States who was a member of the Asian Boyz street gang. On December 3, 1993, Mek was murdered in a gang shooting by the Wah Ching gang, at a pool hall in El Monte, California. The murder was caught on camera by four surveillance cameras installed within the hall. After the murder, the Asian Boyz declared war on the Wah Ching. As a result, it influenced a number of other gang murders and shootings in the LA area, and created a strong feud between both Asian gangs. Authorities claim the murder inspired a chain reaction of gang violence which led to ten other murders in the LA area.
Murder
On Friday, December 3, 1993, 18-year-old Lea Mek, nicknamed "Kicker", went to a pool hall located in a working-class area in the San Gabriel Valley, in El Monte, California. The pool hall was a hangout spot for the gang he was a part of, the Asian Boyz. Mek carried a .45 caliber pistol with him on the night of the shooting and he had a history of weapons and violence. Not long after his arrival, around twenty members of a rival Asian gang called Wah Ching arrived at the hall. Mek reportedly started "mad-dogging" them, staring the gang members down and boasting in front of them. He allegedly walked around and flashed his pistol on multiple occasions in an effort to intimidate the rival gangsters. Some of the gangsters left, but a number stayed behind as Mek continued to mock them. Mek turned his back momentarily and was then wrestled to the floor by Wah Ching gang member, 19-year-old Chieu Luong Yang (), nicknamed "China Dog". Yang wrestled Mek to the floor and he and several other Wah Ching gang members tried to drag Mek outside. Asian Boyz gangsters in the pool hall attempted to help Mek by attacking them with pool cues. One Asian Boyz gangster tried to fire at the Wah Ching with a pistol resting on a pool table, but the gun jammed. Mek was still held down on the floor and his gun was taken from him by Yang. At this point, another Wah Ching gang member entered the hall and opened fire with a pistol, sending people inside the hall running and screaming. People inside the hall took cover behind pool tables, while Mek was dragged outside. Yang peered into the pool hall and opened fire at Asian Boyz gang members with the gun he had stolen from Mek. Mek managed to break free outside and attempted to tackle Yang but failed to do so. He ran into the hall and tried to take cover behind one of the pool tables. Yang however shot at him and followed him into the hall. Mek was shot five times in his body as he took cover behind a pool table. Yang chased after him and fired two shots into Mek's head as he lay on the floor. Yang then fled and Mek died a short time later.
Aftermath
Officer Greg Carroll from the El Monte Police Department was the first to arrive on scene. The hall still smelt of gunpowder and it was silent inside, with people still cowering behind pool tables in shock over the shooting. At the time of the shooting, the hall was filled with around fifty people, some of whom were children. Four hidden surveillance cameras recorded the incident in black and white. The cameras recorded no audio however. Yang was identified as the killer because of the video tapes and was captured at a later date. He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder. The other shooter was also captured and sentenced to 10 years in jail on condition he pled guilty to the crime, which he did.
The murder of Mek is a key incident between the Wah Ching and Asian Boyz. It caused even more tension and rivalry between the two gangs. Authorities claim the murder inspired a chain reaction of gang violence which led to ten other murders in the LA area. Six months later, the Asian Boyz carried out a revenge hit by performing a drive-by shooting on the Wah Ching at a San Marino High School graduation party, which led to the deaths of two Asian youths.
In popular culture
Footage of the crime has been shown on documentaries and was broadcast widely in the media at the time of the incident. Footage of the murder has been shown on programs such as Gangland, Anatomy of Crime and Banned from Television. Due to there being no audio, sound effects of gunshots were added to the footage.

The siege of Narbonne was fought in 737 between the Arab and Berber Muslim forces of Yusuf ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Fihri, Arab Umayyad Muslim governor of Septimania on behalf of al-Andalus, and the Frankish Christian army led by the Carolingian duke Charles Martel.
Background
The region of Septimania was invaded by al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani, wāli (governor-general) of al-Andalus, in 719, and subsequently occupied by the Arab and Berber Muslim forces in 720. The region was renamed Arbūnah and turned into a military base for future operations by the Andalusian military commanders.
By 721, al-Samh was reinforced and ready to lay siege to Toulouse, a possession that would open up the bordering region of Aquitaine to him on the same terms as Septimania. But his plans were thwarted in the disastrous battle of Toulouse in 721; the Aquitanian Christian army led by Odo the Great, Duke of Aquitaine defeated the Umayyad Muslim army and achieved a decisive and significant victory. The surviving Umayyad forces drove away from Aquitaine with immense losses, in which al-Samh was so seriously wounded that he soon died at Narbonne.
Arab and Berber Muslim forces, soundly based in Narbonne and easily resupplied by sea, struck in the 720s, conquering Carcassonne on the north-western fringes of Septimania (725) and penetrating eastwards as far as Autun (725). In 731, the Berber lord of the region of Cerdagne, Uthman ibn Naissa, called Munuza by the Franks, was an ally of the Duke of Aquitaine Odo the Great after he revolted against the Emirate of Córdoba, but the rebel lord was killed by the Arab Umayyad commander Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd Allah al-Ghafiqi. Following his success at the siege of Avignon in 737, Charles Martel besieged Narbonne but his forces were unable to take the city, after which the Frankish army marched on Nîmes, Agde, and Béziers.
Battle
In 737, the Carolingian duke Charles Martel went on to attack Narbonne, but the local nobility of Gothic and Gallo-Roman stock had concluded different military and political arrangements to oppose the expanding Frankish realm. Charles Martel attempted to conquer the whole region of Septimania and besieged Narbonne in 737, but his forces were unable to take the city. However, when the Arabs sent reinforcements from Muslim-ruled Iberia, the Frankish Christian army intercepted them at the mouth of the River Berre (located in the present-day Département of Aude) and achieved a decisive and significant victory, after which the Frankish army marched on Nîmes.
Retreat
The Frankish king Charles Martel may have been able to take Narbonne had he been willing to commit his army and full resources for an indefinite siege, but he was not willing or able to do so. Probably he found that Hunald I, Duke of Aquitaine, was threatening his line of communication with the north. Furthermore, Maurontius, patrician of Provence, from his unconquered city of Marseille, raised a revolt against him from the rear. The Frankish king may have considered accomplished his primary goals by destroying the Arab Muslim armies in Septimania, and leaving the remaining Arab and Berber garrison confined within the city of Narbonne.
A second Frankish expedition was led later in 739 to expel the inconvenient count Maurontius, who couldn't expect this time Andalusian relief, from Marseille and regain control of Provence. According to Paul the Deacon's historical treatise Historia Langobardorum (787–796), the Arab Muslims retreated when they learned that Charles Martel had formed an alliance with the Lombards, leaving the Umayyad forces stationed in the area and Maurontius himself too weak to meet in open battle.

Mimorista tristigmalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1899. It is found in Cuba and the United States, where it has been recorded from Florida.
The wingspan is 25-28 mm. The forewings are ochreous white with black markings. The hindwings are white, irrorated with pale yellow brown scales. Adults are on wing from January to April, in July and from November to December in Florida.

Il Marzocco was an Italian language weekly literary and art magazine which was published in Florence, Italy, between 1896 and 1932. The title was chosen by Gabriele D'Annunzio which was a reference to the symbol of the ancient Republic of Florence and also, of the popular rule. The magazine covered articles on a wide range of subjects such as women's rights and political events. Its subtitle was periodico settimanale di letteratura e d'arte (Italian: Weekly literary and arts periodical).
History and profile
Il Marzocco was launched in 1896, and the first issue appeared on 2 February 1996. Angelo and Adolfo Orvieto founded the magazine that was headquartered in Florence. The magazine advocated the aestheticist approach of Gabriele D'Annunzio and an antipositivist stance until 1899. Then it supported pure literature and art opposing the decorative literature. The articles covered in the magazine appeared with photographic images. In the period 1911–1914 Il Marzocco rarely featured literary work becoming a political publication. It advocated the nationalism and war interventionism. Following the end of World War I and the start of fascist rule in Italy the magazine managed to remain untouched and was not affected from the negative effects of the press laws dated 1926.
As of 1926 Adolfo Orvieto was the editor-in-chief of Il Marzocco which was published on a weekly basis. Ada Negri, Sibilla Aleramo and Enrico Corradini were among the contributors. One of Ada Negri's articles supported the right of single women to give birth children. Corradini served as the director of the magazine and also, published political comments when he was not a well-known figure in politics. Il Marzocco praised Émile Zola as a genuine hero of modernism. Irish writer James Joyce sent a letter to Adolfo Orvieto, then director of Il Marzocco, in June 1913 and asked him to publish his article on Daniel Defoe in the magazine. Joyce's article was not accepted for publication probably due to its anti-British sentiment. Because Il Marzocco had significant numbers of British subscribers.
Il Marzocco folded in 1932. Its issues were digitized by the National Library of Italy in Rome.

The Baltimore Clippers were a minor league professional ice hockey team from in Baltimore, Maryland, playing in the Eastern Amateur Hockey League at Carlin's Iceland. The team began play in the 1944–45 season known as the Baltimore Blades, and were renamed the Clippers from 1946 to 1949. The team name paid homage to local history in the Baltimore Clipper, and the Port of Baltimore. The Clippers ceased operations during the 1949–50 season.
History
The Baltimore Blades were founded in 1944 by the Jacobs brothers, who owned a military uniform supply company. The Blades replaced the void in the EAHL when the United States Coast Guard Cutters hockey team disbanded. Baltimore was affiliated with the Buffalo Bisons in the American Hockey League. Eddie Shore coached the parent team, and was also the Blades' general manager. Former Bison player Leroy Goldsworthy coached the Blades to a second-place finish in the EAHL.
In the 1945–46 season, the team changed names to the Clippers, and the affiliation with Buffalo ended. Baltimore finished the season fourth in the EAHL, and went through three head coaches, including Jim Foley, Herb Mitchell, and player-coach Jack Riley. In the 1946–47 season, Hank Roy was named head coach, but was replaced with the returning Goldsworthy as Baltimore again finished fourth in the EAHL.
Frank Beisler was named the new head coach and manager for the 1947–48 season. Beisler led the team to 31 wins and finished first place in the league, winning the Walker Cup. Right winger Charlie Knox led the league with 54 goals, and 86 points; center Dave Maguire led the league with 53 assists, and defender Jack Nixon led the league with 182 penalty minutes in 37 games.
The EAHL did not operate for the 1948–49 season, but resumed play for the 1949–50 season. Kilby MacDonald was named the head coach and team manager. After twelve games, the Clippers had four wins, and withdrew from league play on December 4, 1949.
Players
Notable league executive Jack Riley played for the Clippers from 1945 to 1946. Two Blades players, and seven Clippers players also played in the National Hockey League. Notable players include:
Hugh Currie
Norm Dussault
Gordie Haworth
Gordon Henry

Friedrich Georg Leonhard Miedke, also Miedtke (January 1803 – 16 October 1842) was a German actor, singer, composer, theatre director, painter and writer
Life
Miedke was a son of the singer and actor couple Carl Miedke and Charlotte Miedke, and was born in Nuremberg between 1 and 31 January 1803.
He was artistically active in Stuttgart, St. Gallen, Augsburg, Ulm, Regensburg, Würzburg and other places. He was considered one of the finest dramatic baritones of his time, shining among others in the operas Don Juan, Figaro and Vampyr. He received his training in Stuttgart and then sang first in the choir until he was given smaller stage roles, which also distinguished him as an actor. In 1822 he received an engagement in Augsburg. In 1825, he took over the direction of the theatre of the city of St. Gallen, which, however, affected his private fortune so much that he secretly left Switzerland. The subsequent trial resulted in him having to spend 12 weeks in the Hohenasperg in Württemberg. After his release, he immediately turned to the city of Würzburg in 1829, where he was given the directorship of the opera on a fixed salary, which he held until the end of 1836. On 6 March 1834, a performance of the opera Faust by Louis Spohr took place in Würzburg "for the benefit" of Miedke.
From 1837, he retired from the stage and settled first in Bad Kissingen to devote himself entirely to painting; he also ran a gallery and was active as a writer. He died in Regensburg at the age of 39.

Trstená na Ostrove (, ) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia.
History
The village was first recorded in 1250. Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops liberated the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. The present-day municipality was formed in 1940 by unifying the three component villages. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.
Demography
In 1910, the village had 507, for the most part, Hungarian inhabitants. At the 2001 Census the recorded population of the village was 532 while an end-2008 estimate by the Statistical Office had the villages's population as 578. As of 2001, 93,23 per cent of its population was Hungarian while 6,39 per cent was Slovak.
Roman Catholicism is the majority religion of the village, its adherents numbering 74.26% of the total population.
Geography
The municipality lies at an altitude of 116 metres and covers an area of 6.255 km².

In photography, filter factor refers to the multiplicative amount of light a filter blocks.
Converting between filter factors and stops
The table below illustrates the relationship between filter factor, the amount of light that is allowed through the filter, and the number of stops this corresponds to.
Calculating exposure increase
The number of f-stops of light reduction, given a filter factor, may be calculated using the formula:
Most calculators do not have a function. An equivalent calculation is:
or
An example: A green filter with a filter factor of 4
The green filter factor of 4 yields a 2 f-stop light reduction.
The filter factor, given the exposure change in f-stops, may be calculated using the formula:
An example: A deep red filter with an f-stop change of 3 stops
A change of 3 f-stops is equivalent to a filter factor of 8.
As a consequence of this relationship, filter factors should be multiplied together when such filters are stacked, as opposed to stop adjustments, which should be added together.
Filter factors for common filters
The table below gives approximate filter factors for a variety of common photographic filters. It is important to note that filter factors are highly dependent on the spectral response curve of the film being used. Thus, filter factors provided by the film manufacturer should be preferred over the ones documented below. Furthermore, note well that these factors are for daylight color temperature (5600K); when shooting under a different color temperature of ambient light, these values will most likely be incorrect.

Indian Mountain is a remote mountain summit in the Skagit Range of the North Cascades, in Whatcom County of Washington state. Indian Mountain is situated in North Cascades National Park, 7 miles south of the Canada–United States border. Its nearest higher neighbor is Red Face Mountain, to the southeast, and Whatcom Peak rises to the south. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant since this peak rises over 4,100 feet above Brush Creek Valley in approximately one mile. Precipitation runoff from Indian Mountain drains into tributaries of the Chilliwack River.
Climate
Indian Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades. As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high avalanche danger. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.
Geology
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to various climate differences.
The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago.
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured and shaped the landscape. The U-shaped cross section of the river valleys are a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

1340 Yvette, provisional designation , is a carbonaceous Themistian asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 29 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 27 December 1934, by astronomer Louis Boyer at the Algiers Observatory, who named it after his niece, Yvette.
Orbit and classification
Yvette is a Themistian asteroid that belongs to the Themis family (), a very large family of nearly 5,000 member asteroids, named after 24 Themis. It orbits the Sun in the outer main belt at a distance of 2.8–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 8 months (2,075 days; semi-major axis of 3.18 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 0° with respect to the ecliptic.
The asteroid was first identified as at Heidelberg Observatory in February 1930. The body's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation at Algiers in 1934.
Physical characteristics
Yvette has been characterized as a carbonaceous C-type asteroid by Pan-STARRS photometric survey, in line with the overall spectral type of the Themis family.
Rotation period
Published in 2004, a first rotational lightcurve of Yvette was obtained from photometric observations by Brazilian and Argentinian astronomers. Lightcurve analysis gave a relatively short rotation period of 3.525 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.16 magnitude ().
Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Yvette measures between 25.87 and 33.061 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.0587 and 0.0958.
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is an albedo of 0.0958 and a diameter of 25.87 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.1.
Naming
This minor planet was named by the discoverer in honor of his niece, Yvette. The official naming citation was mentioned in The Names of the Minor Planets by Paul Herget in 1955 ().

Tajemství Oslího ostrova (often abbreviated as Too), known in English as The Secret of Donkey Island, is a 1994 Czech point-and-click adventure video game. Distributed by Petr Vochozka through his company Vochozka Trading in June 1994, it was the first nationally distributed PC game in the country and one of the first Czech games commercially available. A parody of the successful Monkey Island series, the story plays out as if it were a direct sequel to The Secret of Monkey Island, ignoring the continuity of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.
Production
Conception
Jarek Kolář and Petr Vlček began working on the game in 1992 using school computers in the gymnasium of Slovanské náměstí in Brno where they were students. They wanted to use their own game-making tools as well as the ZX Spectrum tools they had been working with. In 1993, Petr Vochozka sold the first-ever Czech commercial adventure game for the Amiga entitled Světák Bob. Later that year, he founded Polička-based Vochozka Trading and released Tajemství Oslího ostrova as the publisher's debut title.
Development
Development took place between 1992 and 1994. In the first year, the developers used their school computer after receiving permission from their computer science teacher. They faced several challenges, as there was limited information on how to make video games available to developers.
Visual assets from other adventure games were used, which, years later in 2018, caused the magazine Excalibur to express surprise that there were no licensing issues. However, the game's sound effects were created by the developers themselves using computer speakers. Tajemství Oslího ostrova was also one of the first Czech games to feature developed graphics.
Release
Originally, Kolář and Vlček had no plans to make the game commercially available. They created it to prove that Czech citizens could create a game on par with international productions. They did not care if the game was released commercially or as freeware, but after seeing an advert by Vochozka in Excalibur, the only Czech game magazine at the time, they joined Vochozka under the Pterodon Software brand. The game sold 2,000 copies for 240 crowns each, a considerable increase on Světák Bob, which had sold only a few hundred copies. Vochozka set up an exclusive contract to spread the games of the Pterodon team.
The retail version of the game was originally wrapped only in a plastic bag. A paper-box edition was not available until November of the same year, at which point the second Pterodon Software game was released entitled 7 dní a 7 nocí. The game was released only five years after the Velvet Revolution, when only a small fraction of Czech society understood English. By the end of 1996, Vochozka Trading had produced twelve games.
An English fan translation was released in 2023.
Plot and gameplay
The player takes control of the Guybrush Threepwood parody Gajbraš Trípvůd, who, after an unsuccessful pirate raid, is on the run from LeChuck parody LeGek.

According to IDNES.cz, the game changed not only Vochozka's life but also the entire Czech gaming scene. The site felt the title had a significant impact in kick-starting the local video game industry. Star-hry gave it a rating of 91%.
Objevit felt the game was pioneering, as it was created during a time when few knew Czechs knew how to create computer games and when little documentation or tools were available to teach burgeoning developers. Hernisvet wrote that upon release, the game surprised Czech audiences with its "sophisticated play" and "excellent, completely original themes", noting that even in 2005 the game still held value in the Czech freeware scene. Dovus considers Tajemství Oslího ostrova to be one of the major events in gaming prehistory. Gamepark felt the title was filled with "brilliant humor, pirate stories and beautiful cartoon graphics and great adventures".
Gamesite thought that a big drawback to Tajemství Oslího ostrova was the lack of a musical score except in the opening credits. Gamez.cz described it as a simple game that deserves to be buried in the modern era, though noted its success in sales. Bonusweb thought that while the game was "hilarious", older reviews in magazines like Excalibur, which gave the game a rating of 95%, were greatly exaggerated. The Excalibur review was written by Vochozka, the game's publisher. Bonusweb wrote that despite the game's rough edges, its gameplay, low price, and charm as one of the first Czech games led to players overlooking its weaknesses and making it a hit.
Bonusweb argues that the game is the first Czech commercial game for personal computers and a historic milestone in the home gaming scene.

God's Acre Cemetery is a heritage-listed cemetery in front of Archerfield Airport, along Beatty Road, between Kerry & Mortimer Roads, Archerfield, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is also known as Grenier's Burial Ground, Coopers Plains Cemetery and Oxley Cemetery.
History
God's Acre Cemetery was established in 1859 by Thomas Grenier as a burial place when his son Volney Grenier, aged 16, was killed in a fall from his horse. Yeerongpilly Shire Council took control of the cemetery in 1924, and subsequently Brisbane City Council in 1925. The cemetery was surrounded by the Archerfield Airport from the late 1920s. The Federal Airports Corporation now owns the land, but is leased by the Brisbane City Council.
God's Acre Cemetery is listed on the Brisbane Heritage Register.

Football Manager 2018 is a 2017 football management simulation video game developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega which was released worldwide on 10 November 2017 for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux. The Nintendo Switch version by Lab42 was released later, on 13 April 2018. For the first time in the series, all three versions of the game, FM 18 for PC, Mac and Linux, FM Touch 2018 for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, and Football Manager Mobile 2018 for iOS and Android were all released on the same day.
Gameplay
FM18 features similar gameplay to that of the Football Manager series. Gameplay consists of taking charge of a professional association football team, as the team manager. Players can sign football players to contracts, manage finances for the club, and give team talks to players. FM18 is a simulation of real world management, with the player being judged on various factors by the club's AI owners and board.
Development
FM 18 was developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega. The first details of new features and upgrades in Football Manager 2018 would not be announced until late September, with FM Touch additions following in October via the game's official website and social media channels. New editions of the football game included updated squads and kits, and improvements to the match engine, among other features.
Players who pre-purchased Football Manager 2018 through a SEGA approved digital retailer will be able to start pre-season at least two weeks prior to the official street date through a fully playable beta version. Single-player careers started in the Beta can be also continued in the full game.
A screenshot from the beta-build of the game confirmed that the possibility for players to come out as homosexual was added for FM 18. Only computer-generated players can possibly come out, not already existing ones. Such an occurrence results in a small news report and a boost in revenue.
Featured leagues
Football Manager 2018 contained the same playable leagues as Football Manager 2017 during release but Indonesian League is reduced from 3 playable levels to 2 playable levels. English League has the most playable levels (up to 6) while Swedish League has the most playable divisions (up to 10). The total number of playable divisions is 147 (116 levels, 52 countries), with over 2,500 clubs available.
Release
The management simulation video game was launched for PC, Mac, and Linux on 10 November. For the first time, the mobile and tablet versions Football Manager Mobile 2018 and Football Manager Touch 2018 were all launched simultaneously with the desktop version, as they also arrived on 10 November. Players who had previous versions of the series (Football Manager 2017, Football Manager 2016 etc.) could get up to a 25% discount on the game on pre-ordering. Football Manager Touch 2018 was later released for the Nintendo Switch on 13 April 2018.
Reception
Football Manager 2018 for PC and Football Manager 2018 Touch for Switch received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.
PC Gamer gave the game a score of 89/100, saying the game is the most ambitious instalment yet from the previous versions. GameSpot gave the game a 9/10, talking about how the dynamics broadens with the ways you interact with your team, more information about how and why your players are injured allows you to adjust, the increased scouting makes unearthing hidden gems more rewarding and also a slew of new player animations and increased intelligence improves the 3D match engine. Eurogamer wrote positively about the game's day one polish and the small iterations made to it from last year's entry, stating, "In the end it's a combination of doing a handful of new things well and avoiding a long list of prior release day issues that earns Football Manager 2018 the privilege of a veteran player's time all over again." PCGamesN awarded the game a nine out of ten, writing, "In general, what all of this adds up to is a more sensitive game. All of the depth is there as before, but the humanity of football is represented in a greater way..." GamesRadar+ praised the improvements made to the 3D Match Engine and criticized the user interface and dynamics system.

Princesse El Materi Holding was a company created by the Tunisian businessman Sakher El Materi, the son-in-law of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who was President of Tunisia until 2011. Princesse El Materi Holdings used nepotism and improper money to acquire illegitimate businesses.
Under Ben Ali's rule, the company become one of the largest conglomerates in Tunisia. It actively held companies in six different industry sectors, including News and Media, Banking and Financial Services, Automotive, Shipping and Cruises, Real Estate and Agriculture. On November 22, 2010, the group also diversified into the Telecommunication industry.
History
Princesse El Materi Holding’s first acquisition was the company Ennakl, the importer of Volkswagen to Tunisia, for a reputed 22 million dinars. Shortly after, he started an all-round modernization of the company with an aggressive marketing campaign and heavy investment. The car dealership, which was previously in very poor condition, has since become, as of 2007, the second largest importer of Volkswagen vehicles into Africa. The company has started the marketing of new brands such as Audi, Porsche and Seat, positioning itself as the largest provider of commercial and passenger vehicles to the Tunisian market, with a turnover of more than 300 million dinars, roughly the equivalent of EUR 250 million. The company successfully launched a dual listing public offering to both the Tunisian and Moroccan Stock Exchange. The dual listing was a pioneering moment in the history of Tunisian companies, it is the first Tunisian company listed on more than one exchange.
With the success of Ennakl, Princesse El Materi Holdings announced the intention to import the Korean ‘Kia’ brand and has opened ‘City Car Kia Motors’ as a vehicle for the imports.
Princesse El Materi Holdings further entered the Cruiseline industry with ‘Goulette Shipping Cruises (SAG)’. The company opened the expanded port of Tunis: La Goulette, a terminal for cruise passengers. The expansion of the port and construction of the passenger terminal is reported to have cost 80 million dinars. Princess Holding has two other companies closely linked to the activities of SAG: Goulette Shipping Services maintains cruise ships and Cruise Tours agency organizes tours for cruise passengers.
In a move to continue the diversity of its holdings and further support the Tunisian economy, Princesse El Materi Holdings acquired a 70% majority share in the capital of “Dar Assabah”, a Tunisian press, printing, publishing, distribution and advertising company. Following the deal, Sakher El Materi, president of the company, said that “at a time when throughout the world, the press, are forced to merge to survive, I am here to give the group Assabah- Le Temps, the means of its ambitions“. El Materi added that his goal was to contribute to the quest for the truth and to contribute to the democratic climate in Tunisia. He stressed that his aim was to contribute to the Tunisian pluralistic media landscape with a stronger “Assabah-Le Temps Group, keen on innovation, more open to youth and more focused on issues of our time”.
In September 2007, Princesse El Materi Holdings launched the first Islamic private radio station: Zitouna FM (Zitouna is the name of a prestigious Mosque in Tunis), which broadcasts 24 hours a day and covers the entire territory of Tunisia. The station's deputy director Mohamed Machfar outlines the vision for the station: “the correct understanding and discussion of the Qur'an is the main subject of Radio Zitouna".
In January 2009 Princesse El Materi Holdings started its second business promoting the business sense of Islamic values. Said to be its most ambitious project yet, the group obtained the approval of the Tunisian monetary authorities to create Banque Zitouna the Islamic commercial bank specializing in Islamic finance (marketing of financial products respectful of the Sharia ). With a capital of 30 million dinars, its formation was announced by a publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Tunisia on 10 September 2009. Zitouna Bank, whose Arabic name is in reference to the olive tree, will provide services to individual customers, Tunisian and international enterprises and investors, as much as it will contribute to the country’s development effort. Simultaneously the group is opening an insurance company carrying similar branding of: Zitouna Takafoul. Zitouna Bank was officially inaugurated on May 28, 2010.
In recognition of the success of the label Zitouna, The group entered the Agricultural industry by planting olive trees on a plot of 1,200 hectares. The project will introduce new varieties of olive never planted in Tunisia and will rely on new technologies in all phases of production.
On November 22, 2010, the group released a press statement that it has agreed to buy, along with Qatar Telecom QSC, Orascom Telecom Holding’s 50 percent stake in Tunisiana for $1.2 billion.

Podochori () is a village in the region of Kavala, northern Greece. According to the 2011 Greek census, the village had 608 inhabitants.
History & Demographics
Southeast of the village there is a settlement of prehistoric and early historical times with visible surface relics. Within the village, next to the church, ceramics of Hellenistic era has been found. On the road to the village Akropotamos, ruins of a triple Early Christian Basilica have been found.
The settlement is recorded as village and as "Podogoryani" in the Ottoman Tahrir Defter number 167 dating to 1530 and written within the kaza of Drama.
According to the statistics of the Bulgarian geographer Vasil Kanchov, the village had a total population of 650 residents in 1900, consisting of 450 Greek Christians and 200 Turks. After the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey and the migration of the Muslim residents of the village to Turkey, in return, 390 Greek Christians from Asia Minor settled in the village. The village got renamed in 1926 to Podochori from Podogoriani.
Fires
A fire started near the village on 8 August 2015 in rough terrain with low vegetation, which because of the strong wind expanded quickly, threatening houses of the settlement. It got under control and extinguished after an all-night fight of 11 fire trucks and more than 50 firefighters of the Hellenic Fire Service.
A small fire started in the forest near the settlement on 26 August 2016, which came under control and got extinguished after the intervention of 3 fire trucks, 7 firefighters and 2 M-18 Dromaders of the Hellenic Fire Service.
Sights
On the bank of the stream of Kriorema there is an Ottoman bath. The bathroom, measuring 6.60 by 4.50 meters, consists of two rooms, a rectangular hallway and the main square room, which is housed in a brick dome. The monument probably dates back to the 17th century and was part of a larger building complex.
Located 100 meters from the road to village Podochori-Akropotamos, the ruins of a three-aisled early Christian basilica with painted walls and a wall-mosaic decoration are located. The basilica was timbered and the Narthex, the exarthex, the baptistery and the mosaics are preserved.

Ivar Frounberg (born 12 April 1950, in Søborg) is a Danish composer, organist, and professor emeritus of composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music.
Life
Ivar Frounberg was first educated as an organist, graduating in 1976 from the Royal Danish Academy of Music, and later studied composition with Niels Viggo Bentzon and Ib Nørholm the same place, and with Morton Feldman in USA and Iannis Xenakis in Italy. Ivar Frounberg is professor emeritus at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo, where he was senior professor of composition from 2000-2012. He had previously taught as docent of composition and electroacoustic music at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. In 1995 he received the Danish Arts Foundation's three-year grant for the second time as well as the Carl Nielsen Prize.
Music
Frounberg has embraced Xenakis and Feldman's interest in music as abstract structures. Starting with his 1985-work Embryo for amplified violin, string trio, piano, synthesizer, and tape the electronic resources became increasingly important in Frounberg's work, and in 1989 he composed the first large-scale Danish work for computer, What did the Sirens Sing as Ulysses sailed by? which is composed for live-electronics and orchestra. The music is deliberately ambiguous – its title referring to a riddle based on the twelfth book of Homer's Odyssey: If anyone heard the sirens sing, they died – except for Ulysses, who never told anyone what he had heard. So there is no way of knowing what they actually sang. According to Frounberg, this paradox accurately describes how music is experienced in today's media world. Several parts of What did the Sirens Sing as Ulysses sailed by? are openly structured, allowing the conductor to combine different musical elements, therefore the work will sound different each time it is played

The Wittman DFA aka Little Bonzo is a homebuilt racing aircraft designed to compete in midget racing.
Development
Steve Wittman had started air racing in 1926 using various aircraft. In March 1931, he designed his own purpose-built aircraft in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the Wittman Chief Oshkosh. After World War II, a new class of Midget air racing was formed with Wittmans efforts. Wittman re-engined "Chief Oshkosh" and renamed it "Bonzo". After several successful races in Cleveland in 1948, a cleaner sister ship "Little Bonzo" was built. The name is a reference to Wittman's much larger racer, the Wittman D-12 Bonzo.
Design
The Wittman DFA is a mid-winged conventional geared aircraft built from a welded steel tube fuselage with aircraft fabric covering and wooden wing construction. The DFA differs slightly from Bonzo with a smaller tail surface, a longer tail and a larger canopy.
In 1968, the engine was replaced with a Continental O-200 to compete under new race rules.
Operational history
Steve Wittman and Bill Brennand alternated flying "Buster" and "Little Bonzo". The aircraft was never transported by trailer and was instead always flown to events, where Wittman would perform aerobatics between heats in his racing aircraft.
1948 National Air Races - Cleveland pilot Wittman placed second.
1949 Continental Trophy races - first place
1950 Rebat Trophy - first place
1951 Rebat Trophy - first place
1952 Continental Trophy races - first place
1964 Reno Formula One Championship - second place
1973 Goodyear race - the last competitive race for Little Bonzo.
1994 Wittman flew the newly restored aircraft before it was donated to the EAA museum.
Variants
The 1934 Wittman Buster rebuilt from "Chief Oshkosh" was the basis for Little Bonzo.
Aircraft on display
The Wittman DFA is on display at the EAA Airventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Ron Davies, OBE (17 December 1921 – 26 October 2013) was a Welsh photographer.
Life and work
Davies was born in Aberaeron, Wales. He developed an interest in photography at the age of 8, while working as an errand boy for a chemist shop in his home town.
During WWII, Davies became an official war photographer on the staff of Air Information with the South East Asia command of the Royal Air Force, stationed in India, the Dutch East Indies and British Malaya. In 1950, Davies was injured in an accident on his motorcycle combination, and consequently used a wheelchair for the rest of his life, though this didn't prevent him pursuing his chosen career.
He worked as a still and cine press photographer for HTV, the BBC, the Western Mail, Y Cymro and various national newspapers, and produced much private work and mounted many exhibitions. He also took a keen and active interest in teaching photography, and was the driving force behind the first mobile disabled darkroom, operated by Arts Care/Gofal Celf.
In 2003, Davies was awarded the OBE for his services to photography, and the year before he was accepted into the Welsh National Eisteddfod's Bardic Circle.
Davies died on 26 October 2013, aged 91.
