Prince Claus of the Netherlands, Jonkheer van Amsberg (born Klaus-Georg Wilhelm Otto Friedrich Gerd von Amsberg; 6 September 1926 – 6 October 2002) was Prince consort of the Netherlands from 30 April 1980 until his death in 2002 as the husband of Queen Beatrix.
Biography
Klaus-Georg Wilhelm Otto Friedrich Gerd von Amsberg was born on his family's estate, Castle Dötzingen, Hitzacker, Germany, on 6 September 1926. He was the second child and only son of Claus Felix von Amsberg and his wife, Baroness Gösta von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen. His father, by birth a member of House of Amsberg which belonged to the untitled German nobility from Mecklenburg, operated a large farm in Tanganyika (formerly German East Africa) from 1928 until World War II. His mother belonged to the ancient von dem Bussche noble family which originated from the County of Ravensberg. From 1938, Claus and his six sisters grew up on their maternal grandparents' estate in Lower Saxony; he attended the Friderico-Francisceum-Gymnasium in Bad Doberan from 1933 to 1936 and a boarding school in Tanganyika from 1936 to 1938.
Claus was a member of such Nazi youth organisations as Deutsches Jungvolk and the Hitler Youth . From 1938 until 1942, he attended the Baltenschule Misdroy.
In 1944, Claus was conscripted into the German Wehrmacht, becoming a soldier in the German 90th Panzergrenadier Division in Italy in March 1945. He was taken prisoner of war by the American forces at Meran before taking part in any fighting. After his repatriation, he finished school in Lüneburg and studied law in Hamburg. He then joined the German diplomatic corps and worked in Santo Domingo and Ivory Coast. In the 1960s, he was transferred to Bonn.
Claus met Princess Beatrix for the first time on New Year's Eve 1962 in Bad Driburg at a dinner hosted by the Count von Oeynhausen-Sierstorpff, who was a distant relative of both of them. Claus and Beatrix were also distantly related (5th cousins twice removed), as both being descendants from von dem Bussche family. They met again at the wedding-eve party of Princess Tatjana of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Moritz, Landgrave of Hesse, in the summer of 1964. With memories of German oppression still very strong 20 years after the war, sections of the Dutch population were unhappy that Beatrix's fiancé was a German and former member of the Hitler Youth. Nonetheless, Queen Juliana gave the engagement her blessing after giving serious thought to canceling it. The engagement was approved by the States-General—a necessary step for Beatrix to remain in the line of succession to the throne—in 1965. He was granted Dutch citizenship later that year and changed the spellings of his names to Dutch.
The couple were married on 10 March 1966. Their wedding day saw violent protests, most notably by the anarchist-artist group Provo. They included such memorable slogans as "Claus, 'raus!" (Claus, get out!) and "Mijn fiets terug" (Give me back my bike), a reference to the memory of occupying German soldiers confiscating Dutch bicycles. A smoke bomb was thrown at the wedding carriage by a group of Provos. For a time, it was thought that Beatrix would be the last monarch of the Netherlands.
However, over time, Claus became accepted by the public, so much so that during the last part of his life he was considered by some to be the most popular member of the Royal Family. This change in Dutch opinion was brought about by Claus's strong motivation to contribute to public causes (especially Third World development, on which he was considered an expert), his sincere modesty and his candor (within but sometimes on the edge of royal protocol).
The public also sympathised with Claus for his efforts to give meaning to his life beyond the restrictions that Dutch law imposed on the Royal Family's freedom of speech and action. However, these restrictions were gradually loosened; Claus was even appointed as senior staff member at the Department of Developing Aid, albeit in an advisory role.
One example of his attitude toward protocol was the "Declaration of the Tie". In 1998, after presenting the annual Prince Claus Awards to three African fashion designers, Claus told "workers of all nations to unite and cast away the new shackles they have voluntarily cast upon themselves", meaning the necktie, that "snake around my neck," and encouraged the audience to "venture into open-collar paradise". He then removed his tie and threw it on the floor.
Claus battled depression for a number of years, and underwent surgery in 1998 to remove his prostate. In 2001, he underwent another surgery to remove one of his kidneys. He eventually died on 6 October 2002 from Parkinson's disease and heart failure.
Activities
As a husband of the heir, Claus was a member of the National Advisory Council for Development Cooperation and its Bureau, and was a chair of the National Committee for Development Strategy 1970‑1980 and the Netherlands Development Organization. He also worked as special advisor to the Minister for Development Cooperation. He held these positions until 1980.
On 30 April 1980, Claus' mother-in-law, Queen Juliana, abdicated in favour of Princess Beatrix, who became Queen of the Netherlands. After the investiture, the couple visited the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. As a prince consort, Prince Claus frequently visited public organisations, commercial and industrial enterprises, and companies in the agriculture and fisheries sector.
In 1984, Claus became the Inspector General for Development Cooperation, member of the Board of Directors of De Nederlandsche Bank N.V. (until 1998), member of the Board of Directors of Royal PTT Nederland, and Chair of the Transport and Public Works Platform.
Claus was an honorary chair of the National Coordinating Committee for the Protection of Monuments and Historic Buildings and the King William I Foundation. He was also a patron of the Concertgebouw Orchestra and Scouting Netherlands.
On Claus' seventieth birthday, the Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development was established on the initiative of the Dutch government. The fund focused on enhancing understanding of cultures and promoting interaction between culture and development.
Declining health and death
Claus suffered various health problems, such as depression, cancer and Parkinson's disease. He died of complications of pneumonia and Parkinson's at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam on 6 October 2002 after a long illness, aged 76. He died less than four months after the birth of his first grandchild.
Claus was interred in the Royal Family's tomb in Delft on 15 October. It was the first full state funeral since Queen Wilhelmina's in 1962.

The International Information Centre for Terminology (Infoterm) was founded in 1971 by UNESCO. Its goal is "to support and co-ordinate international co-operation in the field of terminology." Infoterm members are national, international and regional institutions, organizations, networks and specialized public, semi-public or other non-profit institutions engaged in devising and standardizing terminology. Members are drawn from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.
History
Since the early 1930s in Wieselburg, Austria, industrialist Eugen Wüster led a private centre studying terminology as part of his engineering firm. His research on international technical communication resulted in the 1936 founding of the Technical Committee for Terminology Standardization of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/TC 37). During the 1950s and 1960s Wüster formulated a general theory of terminology and was a pioneer of terminological standardization. In 1951 the Austrian Standards International (ASI) made Wüster general secretary responsible for its terminology principles and coordination efforts (the ISO/TC 37 technical committee).
As a result of his pioneering activity, in 1971 UNESCO signed a contract with ASI establishing Infoterm as an international organization; from that year until 2008 Infoterm would assume guidance of the secretariat that Wüster had led for its first 20 years. After Wüster's death in 1977, his fame as the father of terminology science gained widespread currency, and Infoterm took control of his legacy in 1982. In 1996 Infoterm became an independent international non-profit scientific association and established the Eugen Wüster Archive at the University of Vienna.
Infoterm activities
Infoterm aims to coordinate terminological cooperation internationally to facilitate subject-area communication and knowledge exchange, enabling all who are active in a particular field to participate. Its main areas of action are international collaboration on terminology, terminology policy, legal aspects of terminology data (copyright), theory and methodology of structured content (terminology database management) and terminological standardization.
Eugen Wüster Prize
From 1997, Infoterm began awarding the now triennial Eugen Wüster Prize to recognize outstanding performance in the field of terminology.
Prize winners have included:
2010: Sue Ellen Wright (USA) and Klaus-Dirk Schmitz (Germany)
2007: Alan K. Melby (USA) and Maria Teresa Cabré (Spain)
2004: Robert Dubuc (Canada) and Amelia de Irazazabal Nerpell (Spain)
2001: Juan C. Sager (United Kingdom)
1998: Christer Laurén (Finland)
1997: Heribert Picht (Denmark)
Infoterm and the ISO
Infoterm is represented on ten committees or subcommittees of the International Organization for Standardization:
ISO/IEC JTC 1 and its subcommittees JTC 1/SC 32 and JTC 1/SC 36
TC 12 and TC 46/SC 4
ISO/TC 37 and its subcommittees TC 37/SC 1, TC 37/SC 2, TC 37/SC 3 and TC 37/SC 4
Infoterm and Esperanto
Since 1988 Infoterm has maintained regular contact with the Esperanto world through Terminologia Esperanto-Centro, the terminology centre of the World Esperanto Association, known by its Esperanto initials UEA. After many years of friendly relations, the UEA joined Infoterm as an associate member in May 2011 with the signing of a co-operation agreement. Goals include exchanging information, mutual support and joint activities for projects, meetings, publications and so on, especially in the field of terminology.

The Weyanoke people ( ) were an Indigenous people of the Northeastern Woodlands.
Name
Their name is also spelled Weyanock, as British colonist John Smith recorded on his map. Alternative spellings include Weanoc, Weanock, Winauh, Winauk, Wynauh, and Wynauk. Their name may mean "at the bend" of a river, coming from either the Eastern Niantic or Nipmuck language.
Territory
Their lands were located along the James River and west of the mouth of Appomattox River, near present-day Weyanoke, Virginia. Their main capital settlement was at Weyanoke Point in Charles City County, Virginia. Their second primary settlement was at the head of Powell's Creek in Prince George County, Virginia.
History
At the beginning of the 17th century, when the tribe had early contact with English colonists, the Weynock traded with Wahunsenacawh (Powhatan, c. 1547–c. 1618). Some historians considered them to be a part of the Powhatan Confederacy.
Their population was 500 in 1608. After attacks by the Iroquois Confederacy at the end of the 17th century, they migrated out. They signed the Treaty of Middle Plantation with the Virginia Colony in 1677.
Remnants of the Weyanock and the Nansemond joined the Nottoway in the early 18th century.
By 1727, they lived along the Nottoway River.At the end of the 18th century, the Weyanock merged completely into the Nottoway, with the surnames Wynoake and Wineoak occasionally appearing on public documents.

PitchYaGame or #PitchYaGame (sometimes abbreviated to PYG) is a volunteer movement hosted on the social media platform Twitter to showcase, and present awards for, independent video games from around the world.
Description
PitchYaGame is hosted on the social media platform Twitter to showcase independent video games from around the world. Video pitches are presented by developers in June and November each year, and use the hashtag #PitchYaGame to identify and reference news about the showcase and the individual pitches, and the presentation of awards.
The showcase was founded in May 2020 by Liam Twose, with the mission of recognising independent video games, and "focused on empowering indie game developers to strengthen their position in the industry." Twose has made clear that PitchYaGame is a showcase and not a hardcore competition, with "[j]ust enough of a push to make sure people put their best pitch forward."
The team now comprises Twose (@LiamTwose at Twitter), operations manager "Indie Game Lover" (@IndieGameLover), and host Sarah Clancy (@ImSarahNow).
The pitches were originally made monthly, with entries split into a number of categories, but this proved unmanageable. PitchYaGame collaborator, Sarah Clancy reported that judging the many entries on a monthly basis was "difficult and unwieldy." Therefore, pitches were later switched to six monthly, "feature creep" was reduced, and awards streamlined into gold, silver, bronze, runners-up, and most viral.
Sponsorship
In June 2021, PitchYaGame prizes were sponsored by Xsolla, and in November 2021 by Aurora Punks and Cold Pixel. No cash prizes were available in 2022, as the organisers moved PitchYaGame into a less-competitive, "more showcase centric format".
Reception
In October 2020, Elijah Beahm at The Escapist wrote that "One of the greatest challenges for any game is landing a solid pitch. You have to sell people, maybe even a publisher, to take your idea seriously. Most of the time, it’s an obfuscated process that leaves the average developer scratching their heads, but Liam Twose and his team behind #PitchYaGame, 'PYG' for short, are looking to change all that with some clever social engineering."
In March 2021, Cameron Koch at GameSpot wrote that "Using the #PitchYaGame, thousands of indie developers tweeted out pitches for their games on November 2 as part of a social media contest, and the results are astounding." He went on to say that "There is no arguing with the results. According to Twose, around 1100-1300 games were shared with the hashtag, and some real gems look to have shined through."
In November 2021, Stafano "Stef" Castelli at IGN Italia wrote that "I myself enjoyed 'browsing through' the competitors, discovering a handful of intriguing video games in development." (translated from Italian).
In November 2022, Eric Bartelson at Premortem Games wrote that "It's a great way to get games noticed by fellow developers, but also publishers, investors and press."
In June 2023, Mark Plunkett in Kotaku wrote about the impossibility of keeping up with all the video game releases, and described PitchYaGame, which has attracted over 10,000 pitches since 2020, as an "astoundingly simple idea" that has "become an increasingly useful spot to catch up on some excellent-looking games that we may have otherwise completely slept on."

The United Network of Young Peacebuilders (UNOY Peacebuilders) is a global network of young people and youth organisations active in the field of peacebuilding and conflict transformation. UNOY Peacebuilders was founded in 1989 and is working with youth mostly in violent conflict and post war regions. The core activities of UNOY Peacebuilders are capacity building as well as advocacy and campaigning.
The organisation is non-political, non-religious and non-governmental and welcomes youth membership regardless of gender, colour, ethnicity, social class, religion, sexual orientation or any other status.
Activities
Besides the core programs on capacity building and advocacy and campaigning, UNOY Peacebuilders support its members by providing networking possibilities, sharing information, providing a pool of resource persons, carrying out research, fundraising as well as giving administrational support. UNOY Peacebuilders also runs a gender program that aims to mainstream gender within the network.
Since the start, UNOY Peacebuilders has organised a number of international working group meetings, peacebuilding training seminars and global and regional conferences. An important focus of UNOY’s peacebuilding activities has been on Eastern Europe (Russia, Belarus, Caucasus, Ukraine), Africa and Latin America. In 1996, 1997 and 2006, UNOY Peacebuilders organised peacebuilding training seminars in Crimea. Young people who have participated in former UNOY events have created effective local and regional organisations or projects working for peacebuilding in the Balkans, in the Caucasus area, and in Africa with extensive outreach capacity to local youth.
History
In 1993, UNOY convened the International Conference of Young Peacebuilders on Axes of Conflict and the Role of Youth in Non-Violent Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation in the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands. The aim of this conference was to explore the possibilities in conflict regions for youth to play a more dynamic role in the prevention, transformation and solution of conflicts, as well as in the promotion of mutual understanding and reconciliation between the conflicting sides. The young participants then recognised a unique peacebuilding role for UNOY and suggested that it adopt the following objectives:
- to provide youth NGO leadership training in the field of non-violent conflict resolution and reconciliation;
- to organise conferences and cross-conflict working groups for representatives of youth peace organisations, networks, and initiatives;
- to develop a global peacebuilding, reconciliation and solidarity network focusing on youth
Following these recommendations, UNOY successfully organised three major regional peacebuilding conferences and training seminars for the Caucasus and Crimea, and the UNOY Global Youth Peace Conference (GYPC) which took place in May 1999 in the Netherlands. In addition to this event, UNOY created a global network designed to interconnect a vast range of young peacebuilders and activists.
Inspired by the success of its regional work in Eastern Europe, UNOY extended its work to empower the capacities of African youth committed to building peace in Africa. In June–July 2001, the UNOY African Youth for a Culture of Peace Training Conference in South Africa gathered 90 youth activists (17–30 years old) from all regions of Africa. As a result, the African Network of Young Peacebuilders (ANYP) was created, setting up working groups and starting the organising of regional and national activities.
In November 2002, UNOY and ANYP organised the African Young Peacebuilders Training Seminar in Cotonou, Benin; it was followed in December same year by the National Training Conference on a Culture of Peace, Networking and NGO Project Management in Freetown, Sierra Leone. A large number of other projects carried out at a local level have followed since these landmark events.
Since 1999, UNOY has organised the annual African Students Conference (ASC) at the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague, Netherlands. Since 2005, UNOY has organised training seminars twice a year.
In 2005, UNOY Peacebuilders was invited by the Municipality of The Hague to move its headquarters to The Hague in the context of developing The Hague as the International City of Peace and Justice. The same year, UNOY was invited to take part in and contribute towards the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) global conference in New York. Furthermore, in 2005 UNOY held the first Dutch Building Peace Skills Training, celebrated the International Day of Peace for the first time and sent their Youth Advocacy Team to visit UN in New York.
2006 and 2007 marked a great deal of organizational changes at UNOY, and the network developed from a loose network into a Membership-based one. The International Steering Group also held its first meeting in the Hague in 2007.
In 2008, UNOY started developing their Gender Programme, and the following year they participated in the COE Study Session on Gender Equality in Youth Peacebuilding Projects as well as held two gender trainings in the Netherlands. Aside from that, UNOY published “Youth Advocacy for Culture of Peace” in 2008 and “Partners for Peace” in 2009.
In 2010, UNOY marked the end of Decade for a Culture of Peace and non-violence for Children of the World, which they had been participating in since 2001. Throughout the year, UNOY took part in coordinating the Civil Society Report on the International Decade for a Culture of Peace. The report was presented in December at the End of Decade conference in Spain.
In 2015 UNOY's advocacy efforts culminated in the adoption of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 on youth, peace and security. The UNOY advocacy work is mainly coordinated and run by the Youth Advocacy Team. The team consists of representatives of member organisations, young peacebuilders active in their own local communities making their voice heard globally through the Youth Advocacy Team. Additionally, UNOY has permanent advocacy representatives based in New York and Geneva who work on a voluntary basis to represent young peacebuilders towards different United Nations bodies.

Villages and bygone villages
Garfield is located in the northeast corner of Hyde Park. In the late 1800s, Garfield was a village with a store, a post office (added in 1890), a school, and two sawmills. In 1922 the sawmill owned by Charles William Manning (1864–1946) burned down and he decided not to replace it, causing the loss of many jobs. Residents began to leave Garfield. Eventually their abandoned farms reverted to wilderness. The area remains thickly wooded and sparsely developed to this day. It is best known as the Morrisville turnoff point for the Green River Reservoir State Park.

Four Corners/Geneva station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Boston, Massachusetts. It serves the Fairmount Line. It is located in the Mount Bowdoin section of the Dorchester neighborhood. The new station was being built as part of the Fairmount Line Improvement Project, which included four new stations as well as infrastructure upgrades. It has two full-length high-level platforms with walkways connecting them to Washington Street and Geneva Avenue. Four Corners/Geneva Ave opened on July 1, 2013, along with Newmarket.
History
Mt. Bowdoin
Service on the Fairmount Line (as the Dorchester Branch of the Norfolk County Railroad and later the New York and New England Railroad and New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad) began in 1855 and lasted until 1944. A station named Mt. Bowdoin was located near the Washington Street overpass. The area around the station was largely developed between 1895 and 1916. Originally one story, the small inbound station building was awkwardly modified with a second story below street level when the tracks were lowered to eliminate problematic grade crossings. There was a small shelter on the outbound side; a set of wooden steps leading to the outbound side are still extant.
Restoration and planning
Temporary shuttle service resumed on the Fairmount Line in 1979 during Southwest Corridor construction, with stops at Uphams Corner, Morton Street, and Fairmount. The MBTA planned to drop the shuttle after service resumed on the Southwest Corridor in 1987, but the service was locally popular and the Fairmount Line became a permanent part of the system. A plan called the Indigo Line was later advanced by community activists in which the line would add stations and more frequent service to closely resemble a conventional rapid transit line. The Indigo Line plan was not adopted, but elements of it were included when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts agreed in 2005 to make improvements on the Fairmount Line part of its legally binding commitment to mitigate increased air pollution from the Big Dig. Among the selected improvements in the Fairmount Line Improvements project were four new commuter rail stations on the line, including one at Geneva Avenue. The stations were originally to be completed by the end of 2011.
Construction
After several years of planning, the $19.6 million contract to build the station went out to bid on September 4, 2009; the low bid was $17.7 million. Notice to proceed was given on January 28, 2010. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 16, 2010.
The inbound platform and ramp were mostly complete by the end of 2011. By April 2012, the station was 75% complete, with the inbound platform and the Geneva Avenue ramp structures in place. Construction delays were caused by the need to redesign the outbound ramp to Washington Street due to a rock vein that was missed by test borings.
On September 13, 2012, the MBTA announced that the station was planned to open in April 2013. By mid-October, the station was at 82% completion. However, the opening was delayed to July 1, 2013, to match Newmarket for publicity purposes. Ribbon-cutting ceremonies were held at Newmarket, Four Corners/Geneva, and Talbot Avenue on July 17, 2013.

Diablo II: Resurrected is an action role-playing video game co-developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Blizzard Albany and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a remaster of Diablo II (2000) and its expansion Lord of Destruction (2001). The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S on September 23, 2021.
Gameplay
The remaster mainly updated the original game's graphics and network functions and originally did not change any of its item systems or game balance. Resurrected overlays upgraded 3D models atop the original Diablo II 2D sprites, and is designed to toggle between the legacy and upgraded visuals with a button press. Its cutscenes were also remastered. Resurrected supports 4K graphics resolution and 7.1 Dolby Surround sound.
Blizzard added small convenience upgrades while leaving the core gameplay unchanged. The addition of a Shared Stash lets players transfer items between their own characters, as compared with the original game, which involved a tertiary "mule" character to facilitate the transfer. Players can toggle automatic gold pickup, display ground items and other small upgrades. The game now reminds players to spend skill points and reminds that skill point allocation is permanent. The remaster allows players to import save files from the original Diablo II in local single-player and continue from that point. Unlike the original Diablo II, Resurrected allows the secret cow level, also known as the Moo Moo Farm, to be accessed repeatedly by players. Unlike the original, neither open Battle.net nor local multiplayer over TCP/IP (LAN gaming) are supported.
Synopsis
Diablo II: Resurrected has the same plot as the original game.
Development
Diablo II: Resurrecteds development began around 2019, as a joint effort between Blizzard's Diablo team (Team 3) and Vicarious Visions, at the time a subsidiary under Blizzard's corporate sibling Activision. According to Blizzard's president J. Allen Brack, Vicarious Visions was responsible for handling the front-end and 3D client while Blizzard handled the back-end server and Battle.net integration aspects of the remaster. About a month before the February 2021 announcement of the game, Activision announced that Vicarious Visions had been transferred and moved into Blizzard's corporate structure. Brack said this move was due to Vicarious having detailed knowledge of the Diablo series by this point, so that they could continue to provide support for Resurrected, Diablo IV and other Blizzard properties.
During a 2019 media event, Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, and David Brevik stated they had been unsure if a remaster of Diablo II was possible due to a near-release loss of much of the game's source code and assets from corruption in their backup system. They were able to recover most of the code and assets through copies that employees of Blizzard North had taken home with them or other means, but the Schaefers felt there were still too many pieces missing to fully remaster the game. However, according to Blizzard's current Diablo lead Rod Fergusson and principal designer Rob Gallerani, the missing data was not as bad as the Schaefers had indicated. Their team scoured through other sources at Blizzard, such as through marketing material, to find additional resources to fill in the gaps. After assessing what was missing Blizzard decided they had enough to proceed with the remaster, with capabilities to recreate any missing assets and redraw the existing assets in higher definition with help of the original artists and animators.
The remaster's design philosophy required the game to be identical to what legacy players remembered. While the developers did not make even minor changes to core gameplay, they upgraded the game's visuals, modeling its remastered graphics on art from the original game. The remaster includes some small usability changes like the Shared Stash and automatic gold pickup. Some new conveniences can be toggled to the user's playstyle preference. The two core principles for the remaster were preserving the authentic, original game's experience and making it accessible for modern play.
The title was announced in the opening ceremony of the developer's February 2021 annual convention. Its development had been an open secret, having been leaked during Blizzard's acquisition of developer Vicarious Visions the month prior. A single-player beta period preceded the release. Unlike Warcraft III: Reforged, the prior remaster of Warcraft III which was met with criticisms from journalists and players, Diablo II: Resurrected is a separate release from the existing Diablo II on Battle.net. Brack said that they had learned various lessons from how fans reacted to their Warcraft III: Reforged approach.
Prior to release, Blizzard opened two development tests to players. A single-player alpha ran in April and a multiplayer open beta followed in August, with early access for those who pre-ordered the game on supported platforms. Blizzard made multiple tweaks and additions based on community feedback during the technical alpha, including touch-ups of visual effects, revised item icons, interface usability toggles, and new features such as an in-game clock and extra player item storage. The developers decided to remove ultrawide monitor support, whose larger display resolution interfered with the game's artificial intelligence mechanics. TCP/IP multiplayer support, which let players connect locally in the original game, is unsupported in the remaster for reasons of security. In the original game, players had the freedom to apply whichever patch version they had access to (eg via magazine cover disk) and DRM was controlled via a serial number during installation; Resurrected'''s DRM model instead requires all installations to authenticate and update on a regular basis, establishing an ongoing dependency on Blizzard servers via the Internet, even for players who exclusively play solo offline sparking concern among preservation advocates regarding the future of DRM on consoles.Diablo II: Resurrected was released on September 23, 2021, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X platforms. Server problems prevented some from playing the game at launch and in subsequent weeks. Blizzard explained that these problems resulted from several factors. Part of this was due to legacy game code related to game creation and database access, which they were trying to resolve with patches over this period. A second factor came from what they called "modern player behavior" resulting from players aware of well-documented strategies from Diablo II original release that stressed the servers. Besides working to patch the legacy concerns, Blizzard established game creation rate limiters and added login queues.
With the game released and server problems rectified, the developers turned to focus on post-release player feedback, which showed overwhelming interest in further updates. In a slight break from the remaster's development philosophy of not altering core game mechanics, these post-release changes centered on supplemental, software quality of life, accessibility, and making underpowered options more powerful without affecting the overall game's balance. The development team considered user feedback and consulting original developer notebooks. In response to feedback, Blizzard added a new PC interface bar in December to let players cast skills immediately, similar to how the new controller scheme worked and a modernization of the old two-step method of choosing a skill and left- or right-clicking to cast. Blizzard had been hesitant to provide this option, considered a large deviation from the original. The developer also added a new "public test realm" where players could play-test new features before the main game is updated. Patch 2.4 was released April 2022 and brought the first game balance changes to Diablo II since 2010. Rather than affecting popular systems and items, the patch made some underused playstyles more viable for play in higher difficulty levels, such as a weapon-throwing Barbarian or martial arts-focused Assassin. Similarly, it made previously underpowered options (e.g., item sets and ally artificial intelligence) more effective. This patch also added Ladder Play, a competitive multiplayer feature well-known from the original that was omitted from the remaster's launch.
ReceptionDiablo II: Resurrected received favorable reviews upon release according to Metacritic, where the PC version has a weighted average of 80 out of 100.
While acknowledging that the gameplay sometimes feels dated, Game Informer said that Diablo II "remains the standard against which all other ARPGs are judged" and it is "still a blast, even today". PC Gamer, which called the game a proud dinosaur, said that its simple gameplay seems revolutionary compared to modern games oriented around micropayments. The reviewer said that the game is targeted toward diehard fans, who will resist any changes, which makes it a less appealing entry point for new players than Diablo IV. IGN wrote that the game is "pretty fun when you get past the clunkiness", but it ignores 20 years of evolution in game design. Although GameSpot's reviewer said Resurrecteds fidelity to the original game is sure to please fans, its retro design makes it "challenging to recommend over modern contemporaries".Game Informer called the new graphics "stunning", and PC Gamer'' praised the additional detail and changes, such as de-objectifying one of the female characters. GameSpot's review highlighted the graphics as "strikingly gorgeous".

George Edward Cecil Wigg, Baron Wigg, PC (28 November 1900 – 11 August 1983) was a British Labour Party politician who only served in relatively junior offices but had a great deal of influence behind the scenes, especially with Harold Wilson.
Background and early career
Wigg was the eldest of six children of Edward William Wigg (1870–1934), of Uxbridge Road, Ealing, manager of a dairy business, and his wife Cecilia (née Comber). Whilst Wigg's mother was extremely industrious, delivering milk alongside doing all the household work, his father was "indolent, disgruntled and lacking ambition" despite his wife's encouragement. On the failure of his own dairy business, Edward Wigg worked for that of his elder brother; George Wigg worked there alongside his father from the age of ten. After years of poor fortunes and having suffered from alcoholism, Edward was found dead in Ewhurst Lake in 1934, near to his birthplace; his son observed: "Why he was at the lake and how he got into it remains a mystery. The coroner recorded a verdict of death by misadventure." Cecilia Wigg subsequently remarried to a soldier.
George Wigg was educated at Fairfields Council School and at Queen Mary's Grammar School, both in Basingstoke. Wigg served in the British Army as a regular soldier for almost all his career (from 1918 to 1937) up to his election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dudley in 1945. He served in the Royal Tank Corps from 1919 to 1937 and returned to service in the Second World War, being commissioned into the Army Educational Corps in 1940 and serving until 1946 and reaching the rank of colonel. He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Emanuel Shinwell during the Attlee government.
According to Press Association reporter Chris Moncrieff, Wigg was unpopular with Labour MPs, but managed to use procedure to place the Profumo affair on the record in Parliament, leading to the pursuit of Profumo which ultimately resulted in the latter's resignation. Wigg also played an important part in the aftermath of the failed prosecution of suspected serial killer John Bodkin Adams by questioning in Parliament the unusual conduct of the Prosecution led by Attorney-General, Reginald Manningham-Buller.
In January 1964, Wigg won a High Court action for libel against Angus Maude, a Conservative member. He was represented in court by Alan Orr QC, and substantial damages were awarded.
Paymaster-General; Peerage
Wigg was already known for passing on gossip to Harold Wilson (who had become Labour leader in 1963 on the death of Hugh Gaitskell). When Labour narrowly won the 1964 election Wilson appointed Wigg to the office of Paymaster General. Wigg's responsibilities were many and varied: among them, he was Wilson's link to the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service. In November 1967, he was appointed Chairman of the Horserace Betting Levy Board (Wigg loved horse racing) and left Parliament. He was created a life peer on 27 November 1967 taking the title Baron Wigg, of the Borough of Dudley. His resignation from parliament resulted in a by-election in the Dudley seat in early 1968, with the Conservatives gaining the seat before Labour reclaimed it at the general election two years later.
Wigg had been made a Privy Councillor in 1964.
Personal life
In 1930, Wigg married Florence, daughter of William Veal. They had three daughters.

A corned beef sandwich is a Jewish deli sandwich filled with corned beef, traditionally served with mustard and a pickle.
Variations
In the United Kingdom, the Jewish dish is known as a salt beef sandwich, and a corned beef sandwich refers to one made with canned corned beef, often served with a sweet, vinegary pickled chutney such as Branston Pickle rather than mustard.
Another variant more common in the United States has sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on rye bread grilled and served hot is known as a Reuben sandwich.
A contraband corned beef sandwich on rye bread brought aboard the Gemini 3 spacecraft by John Young resulted in a minor controversy, for the risk posed to the craft and crew by floating crumbs and lingering odors.

In the Land of the Deaf (French title Le Pays Des Sourds) is a French documentary created and produced by Nicolas Philibert in 1992.<ref name="frdiplomatie">France Diplomatie: [http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/france-priorities_1/documentary_2312/non-commercial-distribution_2313/documentaries_5315/5-films-by-nicolas-philibert_3149/in-the-land-of-the-deaf_3164/index.html In the Land of the Deaf] .</ref> The film is presented French Sign Language (FSL) and French, with English subtitles and closed captions. Philibert uses sparse dialogue in creating an unsentimental, non-manipulative work which allows its subjects to communicate their feelings about the richness of life despite hearing problems.
Prior to its initial theatrical release, this excursion into the unique world of Deaf communities in France was featured in international film festivals.
In its subsequent broadcast debut in the United States, the film was honored with a Peabody Award for excellence.
Synopsis
This film focuses on the interrelationships between Deaf culture and language in France. Its overview encompasses a broad range of perspectives, contrasting the stories of a family who has been deaf and thriving for five generations with the story of a woman whose deafness was misunderstood, causing her to be confined for a time in an asylum for the insane. The documentary features d/Deaf and hard of hearing people of all ages and from all walks of life. With their profound deafness in common, the children and adults featured in this film communicate their dreams and thoughts through sign language. In one segment, Philibert focuses his camera on group of schoolchildren who are learning how to communicate in a world where they must read lips and speak words. The personal lives of some of the pupils and various adults are explored, including an actor, a sign-language teacher, and an engaged couple.
Co-production
This documentary was co-produced by multinational partners, which reduced the financial risks inherent in the project; and co-production also ensured enhanced distribution opportunities.

Amarendranath Chatterjee () (01July 1880 – 4 September 1957) was an Indian independence movement activist. In charge of raising funds for the Jugantar movement, his activities largely covered revolutionary centres in Bihar, Odisha and the United Provinces.
Early life
Born 1 July 1879 at Uttarpara, in the Hooghly district, near Kolkata, Amarendra was the son of Upendranath Chatterjee. On completing his primary education at Uttarpara and secondary at Bhagalpur, Amarendra joined the well-respected Duff College (now Scottish Church College) at Kolkata, where his classmates included Upendranath Banerjee and Hrishikesh Kanjilal, future revolutionary colleagues. After graduation, he and his friends accompanied Surendranath Banerjee in his lecture tours throughout India and, under the latter's influence, opened centres of social service. During the anti-Partition agitations, identifying with the programme of boycotting British goods, Amarendra led the National Volunteer Movement.
First steps
Sponsored by Raja Pyarimohan and his son Rajendranath Mukherjee ('Misri Babu'), he established the Uttarpara Shilpa-Samiti, installed carpentry, bought six handlooms and began selling homespun textile. Very soon he looked after the Poragacha unit in Nadia, giving assistance to Jatindra Nath Mukherjee (Bagha Jatin or Jatin Mukherjee). They collaborated in the formation of the Chhatra Bhandar ("Students' Emporium"), which would be transformed later into the Shramajibi Samabaya ("Workers' Cooperative").
While Jatin Mukherjee "worked directly under the orders of Aurobindo Ghose" since 1903, Amarendra met Sri Aurobindo in 1907 and received initiation with these words: "Surrender yourself to God and in the name of the Divine Mother get along with the service of India. That is my Diksha to you." He was further told by Sri Aurobindo: "If we want to secure the freedom of the country, we have to sacrifice everything for it, and we should be ready to give up even our life for it. If we want to free the country, we shall have to conquer the fear of death." Encouraged by Sri Aurobindo to collect funds for the Extremists' movement, he came closer to Jatin Mukherjee. Behind their commercial activities, their centres sheltered freedom fighters from regional units, as well as provided meeting places for Jatin and other Jugantar leaders.
Jugantar
Jatin's elderly revolutionary associate Preonath Karar (Sri Yukteswar Giri) of Serampore – friend of Hrishikesh Kanjilal and of the restless Vedic Pandit Mokshada Samadhyayi – had founded an Ashram at Puri in 1900; it had been in connection with Lokamanya Tilak's initiative to turn Benares and other Hindu shrines into seats of Extremist politics. Long before the hatching of the daily Jugantar at Benares, Puri instituted a religious procession in celebration of the advent of a New Era (yuga+antar). Sealy in his Report admits: "It would be extremely rash to argue that the place has not been freely used by the anarchist for sealing the compact of many a vow against the Government or that it has not been a recognised place of refuge for the fugitive from justice or surveillance by the police."
A few months before the Surat Congress, Suranath Bhaduri of Benares, on reaching Calcutta after travelling all over Bengal, "formed a central committee at the Sandhya office, with the help of Jatin Banerji (alias Niralamba Swami) and with Kartik Dutta; Mukhada Samadhyayi, Shyamsundar Chakravarti, Arabindo Ghose, Tarakhepa, Annada Charan Kaviraj and others as members(…) Measures are being devised for freeing India and for proclaiming the divine commands which have been received in the matter (…) After this Suranath went to Puri with Preo Nath Karar alias Sri Yukteswar Giri (…) Attempts are being made to get hold of such of the ruling Chiefs as are patrons of the Bharat Dharma Mahamandal. Raja Sasisekhareswar of Tahirpur … is being fully converted to this creed." The Maharaj of Darbhanga was the General President of the Mahamandal; Suranath's father, Somnath Bhaduri, was the Maharaja's Private Secretary; Amarendra Chatterjee's father-in-law, Preonath Banerjee, was the manager of the Darbhanga Raj; the link was further close because one of Preonath Banerjee's nephews, Natbihari Chatterjee (son-in-law of the great Surendranath Banerjee), was munsif at Cuttack; another nephew, Dhiren Mukherjee, taught at the Ravenshaw Collegiate School. Amarendra had free access not only to these patriots but, also, to the headmaster of this school (later principal of the Ravenshaw College), Khirodchandra Ray Chaudhuri, who edited and published the "scurrilous" (to quote Sealy) daily, Star of Utkal.
Khirodchandra's son, Sukumar, practised as a barrister at Cuttack and had married a daughter of Dr Aghore Nath Chatterjee "who was deported by the Nizam of Hyderabad for intriguing against the British Government." The most illustrious of Aghore Nath's children was Virendranath Chattopadhyay ("Chatto", the revolutionary of international reputation); among the others was the patriotic Mrinalini Chatterjee who formed a trio with Kumudini Mitra and Sarojini Ghose (respectively cousin and sister of Sri Aurobindo). The poet Harin and the politician Sarojini Naidu were two other of Aghore Nath's children. Another member of this circle was the pleader Bishwanath Kar of Cuttack who enjoyed a close friendship with eminent national leaders such as Dr Sundari Mohan Das, Surendranath Banerjee and Bipin Chandra Pal.
These leaders had also been mentors for the significant revolutionary Bairagi Tripathi of Patia (district Cuttack) who was personally helped in his education by Madhusudan Das and the Raja of Kanika; on reaching Calcutta, Bairagi had become – in imitation of the Hyde Park spirit in London - "a troublesome agitator and lecturer of the Calcutta open-air platform. His first appearance was at a meeting presided over by Amarendra Chatterjee and after Liaqat Hossain was served with an order under the Calcutta Police Act, Bairagi became very vehement at meetings organised by Liaqat and himself on almost all political questions (…) Bairagi himself was evicted from Bengal and was eventually interned at Cuttack."
The Ramakrishna Mission had a branch at Puri, known as the Sashi Niketan and, according to the Police reports, this place had always been visited by "suspicious strangers", including Jatin Mukherjee and Amarendra Chatterjee. According to Sealy's Report, in 1910, the latter made a determined effort to establish an Ashram at Puri, in a building near the Jagannath Temple, called Srikshetra Sevashram, ostensibly for philanthropic purposes but, in reality, for the education and training of political missionaries. This institution, too, was under the patronage of the Raja of Tahirpur. In addition to Basanta Biswas, Amarendra was helped by Sushil and Sushen, brothers of Satish Mukherjee (who had been sentenced in 1908 in connection with the Alipore Bomb Case, and came to be known as Swami Muktananda) : all of them served as links with the Benares unit. During the ratha-yatra festival, Amarendra and his associates wore red crosses and distributed medicines to pilgrims. The Temple Manager wrote to the District Magistrate in 1911 that he had "noticed signs of attempts by Bengali agitators to turn the temple into a centre for the Swadeshi movement and political agitation." This letter rejoiced the divide and rule policy of the English, while Amarendra had to abandon the idea.
Indo-German conspiracy
Since Sri Aurobindo's retiring to Pondicherry in 1910, Amarendra closely associated with Jatin's followers such as Atulkrishna Ghosh, M.N. Roy and Bepin Ganguli, and served as intermediary between Jatin Mukherjee and Rasbehari Bose, becoming a key-figure in the Indo-German Conspiracy under Jatin during World War I. Two of his faithful lieutenants – Basanta and Manmatha Biswas went to North India to assist Rasbehari in an attempt to murder Lord Hardinge; immediately after Basanta's capital punishment in this connection, Amarendra was blacklisted by the Police.
Bholanath Chatterjee and Parikhit Mukherjee had been working with Naren Bhattacharya under Jatin Mukherjee's direct leadership. Since March 1915, they were "sent off to Sambalpur side, to prospect establishing connection along the Bombay line to Nagpur connected up with Nilgiri and Mayurbhanj." At Chakradharpur they received hospitality from Ashu Kundu of Kumarkhali (Nadia) and stayed in Manoharpur, hired a house at Kalunga in August, went to Banposh, Bisra, Mohanpur, and Sonua, where they stayed with Girindra Mukherjee who had visited Shyamji Krishna Varma in Europe and Myron Phelps in the US, and had been in correspondence with them. Reminding that one of the addresses to which money from the Far East could reach the revolutionaries was Sonua Stone & Lime Co. with its office at 101/1 Clive Street, Calcutta, Sealy points out how its owner, Sudhangshu Mukherjee – one of the directors of the Shramajibi Samabaya – was "a puppet in Amarendra Chatterji’s hands."
In 1909, Amarendra brought out a Bengali edition of Sri Aurobindo's Karmayogin; the paper collapsed in 1910 after having published a violent letter. He adopted the guise of a monk. Amarendra's next enterprise was the above-mentioned "Labour League" (Shramajibi Samabaya), a flourishing Limited Liability Company, with the real object of defraying the expenses of preaching Nationalism. In 1911, at Puri, he became the leader of a "gang of sannyasis" banded together with the object of disseminating sedition. He was found selling a book entitled The Life of Arabindo Ghose. In "A Note on the Ramakrishna Mission", Charles Tegart recognised that the flood relief in 1913 in the districts of Burdwan, Hooghly, and Midnapore "was eagerly seized upon by the revolutionary parties, both of the Eastern and Western Bengal, who (…) doubtless utilised the opportunity thus afforded to map out their future plan of campaign." Describing Amarendra "to be an exceedingly active and dangerous conspirator at the present time," Tegart proved how the Mission financed him for these relief operations.
Denham, in 1914, kept under observation for a considerable time Naren Bhattacharya's mess at 133 Lower Circular Road in Calcutta, which was visited by Amarendra and Makhan Sen to see and confer with Jatin Mukherjee. In the same Report, dated 22 April 1914, Tegart states that even up to date, the Ramakrishna Mission at Belur and its recognised branches were not entirely free from objectionable features: "For instance, on the seventy-ninth birthday anniversary of Ramakrishna, which was celebrated at Belur on 1 March last, in the presence of a very large gathering, it is reported that Amarendra Nath Chatterjee and Makhan Sen (…), Jatindra Nath Mukherjee and other prominent members of the revolutionary party, were noticed feeding the poor and generally assisting the authorities of the Math in attending to the welfare of their visitors."
In April, 1915, Jatin Mukherjee agreed to leave Calcutta for Balasore: having supervised the expedition, Amarendra and Ramchandra Majumdar reminded the escorts: "Never forget that the Soul of Bengal is entrusted to you." After spending a few days with the regional leader Atul Sen, Headmaster of the local school, the party left with Pandit Hem Mukherjee to his village Kumar-Ada near Mahishadal. Then, via Balasore and Nilgiri, they reached Kaptipoda.
At this juncture, before setting out for the Far East, Naren Bhattacharya – after having brought to his colleagues at Calcutta the good news of Jatin Mukherjee's convenient settling at Kaptipoda and the exact modes of getting orders from Balasore for the route to Kaptipoda – returned there to receive blessings from his Guru, Jatin. With a passport issued in the name of C.A. Martin, he arrived at Batavia (Djakarta) on 30 April, and was welcomed by Erich Windels, the German Consul, who presented him also to the brothers Helfferich, Theodor and Emil, officially designated by the German Government to deal with the Maverick project. In addition to their family plantations, the Helfferichs looked after a flourishing business there; as manager of the Behn Meyers Company, Theodor took down from Naren detailed instructions sent by Jatin Mukherjee concerning the delivery of the Maverick consignment. He noted also the addresses of Harry & Sons (Harikumar Chakravarti) and of Shramajibi Samabaya (Amarendra Chatterjee) at Calcutta for all urgent communications.
Satisfied with his trip to Batavia, on 15 May 1915, Naren sent a telegram to Harikumar from Weltevreden, Java: "Sugar business helpful. Martin". Having probably made a detour by China, on 29 May he sent another message to Calcutta: "Back here ; business good; sugar contracted; shipment after 2 weeks; anxious for affairs there. Wire. Martin." Having received from the Helfferichs a first remittance of 43.000 rupees, Naren worked out with Abdur Salam – a Kashmiri Muslim actively involved in the Extremists' project – to transfer a great portion of this money to Harry & Sons through the intermediary of the firm Chotirmull & Co, belonging to Indian tradesmen from the Sindh, having its dynamic branch offices in the Far East.
Fish of the deep
At the top of a period of hectic preparations from the revolutionaries' side, when on 7 August 1915, Denham searched the Harry & Sons and the Shramajibi Samabaya, he had no warrant for arresting Amarendra, but warned the latter: "You are a fish of the deep water!" That was the last contact the police had with Amarendra, just before he absconded. Sealy's Report desperately added: "In 1915 his very important share in the gun-running conspiracy [under Jatin Mukherjee] and its ramifications came to light but he disappeared and has completely baffled all efforts to trace him."
While absconding in Chandernagore after Jatin Mukherjee's heroic self-undoing in 1915, Amarendra narrowly escaped in the teeth of an armed Police cordon, travelled through Assam, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, received initiation as a Sikh monk, tirelessly visiting pilgrimages all over India, under the identity of the Punjabi Sadhu ("Hermit"). After the War, on learning about the amnesty during a lecture tour in the South, still disguised as a sannyasi, he paid a visit to Sri Aurobindo, who received heartily the old disciple.
Later life
On returning to Bengal, Amarendra took up the Cherry Press to issue the Atmashakti, offering to Deshabandhu Chitta Ranjan Das the full sympathy of his Jugantar fellows within the framework of the Swarajya Party. On serving a short term prison, he was released in 1923 and was appointed by Suresh Majumdar (Bagha Jatin's follower) as the President of the Karmi Sangha ("Community of Workers"). In the early 1920s, Suresh is said to have received considerable help from Amarendra in financing and founding the Anandabazar group of papers. Elected to the Assembly in 1929, he joined the Dundee March in 1930 and spent a year in the prison. As a member of the Central Legislative Assembly, representing Madan Mohan Malaviya's Congress Nationalist Party (1937-1945), he preferred the programme of his revolutionary associate M.N. Roy (Naren Bhattacharya) and joined the Radical Democratic Party in 1945. He died in Uttarpara in 1957.

The Maison du Sport International (International House of Sport) is an office complex opened in 2006 in Lausanne, Switzerland, via a joint venture between the City of Lausanne, the Canton of Vaud and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was created to entice all the World's sports governing bodies (also known as International Federations or IF's) to bring their headquarters to Lausanne, in order to improve their proximity to the headquarters of the IOC, and thus improve communications between these bodies.
However, many international federations have their offices elsewhere, often in a country where the specific sport traditionally has a regular following. With modern communications, the need for physical presence is also not as important anymore.

Chris VandeVelde (born March 15, 1987) is an American former professional ice hockey player. He last played for EC Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL). VandeVelde was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the 4th round (97th overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and played in the National Hockey League for the Oilers and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Playing career
Amateur
VandeVelde played high school ice hockey for Moorhead High School (MHS) in Moorhead, Minnesota. He was a three-year letterman while helping MHS reach three consecutive state tournaments. In his senior season he recorded 77 points and was named the team's Most Valuable Player (MVP) and also earned all-state and all-tournament honors. In 2004, VandeVelde began playing for the Lincoln Stars of the United States Hockey League (USHL). He played two seasons in Lincoln playing in 63 games, registering 41 points. He was drafted in the fourth round, 97th overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Edmonton Oilers.
After playing for the Stars, VandeVelde began playing college hockey at the University of North Dakota (UND). He scored his first career collegiate goal during his freshman year in a 3–3 tie against St. Cloud State University on March 2, 2007. He struggled to score for most of the year, but in his final nine games he scored seven points helping him earn UND's Most Improved Player honors. In the WCHA Final Five semifinal game against St. Cloud State, VandeVelde registered a career high three point game, including his first career game-winning goal in a 6–2 win. During his sophomore season he led UND in shooting percentage while finishing third in team scoring. The following season, VandeVelde notched first collegiate hat trick in a 6–2 win over University of Alaska Anchorage. The hat trick helped him set a collegiate career high for goals with 18. For his senor season VandeVelde was named an alternate captain. During the season he recorded a career high 41 points to lead UND in scoring. In the 2010 WCHA Final Five tournament he scored two goals and added three assists in three games as UND won the championship earning the Broadmoor Trophy. VandeVelde was named to the All-Tournament Team, and at season's end he also named WCHA Scholar Athlete, an All-WCHA Academic Team selection, named to Inside College Hockey's All-America third team, and was named UND's Glenn "Red" Jarrett Male Athlete of the Year.
Professional
Edmonton Oilers
Following his four-year career at UND, VandeVelde signed a contract with the Oilers and began playing with their then American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Springfield Falcons. He played in two games and registered his first professional assist. He began the 2010–11 season playing for the AHL's Oklahoma City Barons. After playing in 67 games and recording 12 goals and 16 points, he was called up to the Oilers. VandeVelde made his NHL debut on March 17, 2011, against the Phoenix Coyotes. On April 2, 2011, he registered his first NHL point, an assist, in a game against the Vancouver Canucks. He finished the year with two assists in twelve games at the NHL level. Following the completion of the Oilers season, VandeVelde was assigned back to Oklahoma City for the AHL playoffs. He played in six playoff games for the Barons, scoring one goal.
Philadelphia Flyers
VandeVelde attended the Philadelphia Flyers' training camp on a professional tryout agreement ahead of the 2013–14 season. VandeVelde did not earn a contract from the team, but rather signed with the team's AHL affiliate Adirondack Phantoms. On December 12, 2013, the Flyers signed VandeVelde to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Flyers re-signed VandeVelde to a one-year, two-way contract on July 4, 2014. VandeVelde spent majority of the 2014–15 season with the Flyers, playing in 72 games.
The following summer, the Flyers re-signed VandeVelde to a two-year, $1.425 million contract.
VandeVelde was summoned for a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety as a result of an elbow he delivered to the head of Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews in a game on March 16, 2016. VandeVelde approached Toews with a lowered posture and back from a side angle, and attempted to deliver a legal shoulder check through the body. Prior to impact, Toews slowed his forward progress causing Vandevelde to miss time the hit. As a result, the main point of contact was between Vandeveldes elbow and Toews head. On March 18, 2016, the league announced that VandeVelde had been suspended for two games for the elbow, forfeiting $7,661 US in salary.
VandeVelde was not re-signed by the Flyers, making him an unrestricted free agent. On September 11, 2017, the Ottawa Senators signed VandeVelde to a professional tryout. He was released by the Senators on September 26, 2017.
Personal life
VandeVelde married Olivia Wagner on June 25, 2011, in Cancun, Mexico.

The Rimland is a concept championed in the early 20th century by Nicholas John Spykman, professor of international relations at Yale University. To him, geopolitics is the planning of the security policy of a country in terms of its geographical factors. He described the maritime fringe of a country or continent; in particular the densely populated western, southern, and eastern edges of the Eurasian continent.
He criticized Mackinder for overrating the Heartland as being of immense strategic importance due to its vast size, central geographical location and supremacy of land power rather than sea power. He assumed that the Heartland will not be a potential hub of Europe, because:
Western Russia was then an agrarian society
Bases of industrialization were found to the west of the Ural mountains.
This area is ringed to the north, east, south, and south-west by some of the greater obstacles to transportation (ice and freezing temperature, lowering mountains etc.).
There has never really been a simple land power–sea power opposition.
Spykman thought that the Rimland, the strip of coastal land that encircles Eurasia, is more important than the central Asian zone (the so-called Heartland) for the control of the Eurasian continent. Spykman's vision is at the base of the "containment politics" put into effect by the United States in its relation/position to the Soviet Union during the post-World War II period.
Thus, 'Heartland' appeared to him to be less important in comparison to 'Rimland.'
Concept
According to Spykman, "Who controls the Rimland rules Eurasia, who rules Eurasia controls the destinies of the world."
The Rimland, Halford Mackinder's "Inner or Marginal Crescent", was divided into three sections:
The European coast land;
The Arabian-Middle Eastern desert land; and,
The Asiatic monsoon land.
Rimland or inner crescent contains most of world's people as well as large share of world's resources. Rimland is in between Heartland and marginal seas, so it was more important than Heartland. It included Asia minor, Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, South East Asia, China, Korea and East Siberia except Russia.
All the aforesaid countries lie in the buffer zone that is between sea power and land power.
Rimland countries were amphibian states, surrounding the Eurasian continents.
While Spykman accepts the first two as defined, he rejects the simple grouping of the Asian countries into one "monsoon land." India, the Indian Ocean littoral, and Indian culture were geographically and civilizationally separate from the Chinese lands.
The Rimland's defining characteristic is that it is an intermediate region, lying between the heartland and the marginal sea powers. As the amphibious buffer zone between the land powers and sea powers, it must defend itself from both sides, and therein lies its fundamental security problems. Spykman's conception of the Rimland bears greater resemblance to Alfred Thayer Mahan's "debated and debatable zone" than to Mackinder's inner or marginal crescent.
The Rimland has great importance coming from its demographic weight, natural resources, and industrial development. Spykman sees this importance as the reason that the Rimland will be crucial to containing the Heartland (whereas Mackinder had believed that the Outer or Insular Crescent would be the most important factor in the Heartland's containment).
Applicability and variations
Spykman called for the consolidation of the Rimland countries to ensure their survival during World War II. With the defeat of Germany and the emergence of the USSR, Spykman's views were embraced during the formulation of the Cold War American policy of containing communist influence.
But as the states within the Rimland had varying degree of independence, and a variety of races, and culture, it did not come under the control of any single power.
Dr Spyros Katsoulas introduces the concept of the Rimland Bridge to describe the hinge between Europe and Asia, where Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey are located. The purpose of the new term is not to contradict, but rather to supplement Spykman's theory, and highlight the special strategic significance of the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as its inherent instability.
The Rimland Bridge is defined as the buffer and transit zone that connects the European and Asian parts of Rimland and has three major characteristics. It simultaneously acts as a strategic chokepoint and a valuable gateway, but also as a dangerous shatter belt (geopolitics) due to the enduring Greek–Turkish rivalry.
Criticism
It was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In his concept of air power he did not include the use of modern missiles with nuclear war heads.
The Rimland is not a region but a unit, otherwise the epitome of geographical diversity.
The Rimland-Theory is biased against Asian countries.
The Rimland-Theory does not take into account the various conflicts going on between its different countries (India vs. Pakistan, etc.)

Carnival by Robert Antoni is a 2005 reworking of Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises.
Though Antoni does draw heavily from the activities of the characters from The Sun Also Rises, Carnival describes the sense of displacement and illusion experienced by the characters who have exiled themselves from their island in the West Indies. The main character, William Fletcher, has a similar wound to Jake Barnes from The Sun Also Rises, but William's wound is a self-imposed one. Though they both cannot use their penises, Jake still has the intense passion to be with women but is unable because of wound he received from World War I. On the other hand, William still has his penis but he becomes fearful whenever he gets involved intimately with women to the point where intimacy and sex become self-described hell. His one and only true love is the vivacious Rachel, who, like Brett Ashley, is the sexual focus of all the men in the novel.
According to Publishers Weekly, the novel falters: "For all the debauchery that is Carnival (think Scotch, marijuana, fireworks, jouvert bands), this section of the novel feels curiously bloodless, perhaps because Antoni's style tends toward short fragments ("He sat up, arms folded over chest. Breathing quickly. His chest rising, falling. Staring down at the ground") and weak transitions ("Before I had a chance to think about it..."; "Before I knew it..."; etc.) The final act of the novel shifts to a remote, mountainous region where William and friends intend to sober up from the merrymaking, but instead find themselves involved in a violent incident involving the Earth People (an isolated settlement of rastas) and a racist police force. Antoni's major themes—race (William is white, Laurence black, Rachel French-Creole) and sexuality—are good ones, but they're not sufficiently developed, and the plot feels somewhat manufactured".

In organic chemistry, Madelung synthesis is a chemical reaction that produces (substituted or unsubstituted) indoles by the intramolecular cyclization of N-phenylamides using strong base at high temperature. The Madelung synthesis was reported in 1912 by Walter Madelung, when he observed that 2-phenylindole was synthesized using N-benzoyl-o-toluidine and two equivalents of sodium ethoxide in a heated, airless reaction. Common reaction conditions include use of sodium or potassium alkoxide as base in hexane or tetrahydrofuran solvents, at temperatures ranging between 200–400 °C. A hydrolysis step is also required in the synthesis. The Madelung synthesis is important because it is one of few known reactions that produce indoles from a base-catalyzed thermal cyclization of N-acyl-o-toluidines.
Overall reaction
Variants with other bases or additional substituents are possible, but the method is essentially confined to the preparation of 2-alkinylindoles (not easily accessible through electrophilic aromatic substitution) because of vigorous reaction conditions. A detailed reaction mechanism for the Madelung synthesis follows.
Reaction mechanism
The reaction begins with the extraction of a hydrogen from the nitrogen of the amide substituent and the extraction of a benzylic hydrogen from the substituent ortho to the amide substituent by a strong base. Next, the carbanion resulting from the benzylic hydrogen extraction performs a nucleophilic attack on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of the amide group. When this occurs, the pi-bond of the amide is converted into a lone pair, creating a negatively charged oxygen. After these initial steps, strong base is no longer required and hydrolysis must occur. The negatively charged nitrogen is protonated to regain its neutral charge, and the oxygen is protonated twice to harbor a positive charge in order to become a good leaving group. A lone pair from the nitrogen forms a pi-bond to expel the positively charged leaving group, and also causes the nitrogen to harbor a positive charge. The final step of the reaction is an elimination reaction (specifically an E2 reaction), which involves the extraction of the other hydrogen that was once benzylic, before the bicyclic compound was formed, whose electrons are converted into a new pi-bond in the ring system. This allows the pi-bond formed by nitrogen in the preceding step to be converted back into a lone pair on nitrogen to restore nitrogen's neutral charge.
Advancements in improving reaction conditions
Various techniques have been applied to increase the yield of the desired indole product. When the aromatic ring has electron-donating substituents higher yields are obtained, and the opposite is true when the aromatic ring has electron-withdrawing substituents. However, when the R5 substituent is an electron-withdrawing substituent, the yield is increased instead of decreased. Additionally, the efficiency of the reaction is also heavily dependent on the bulkiness of the R6 substituent. The bulkier this group, the less efficient is the reaction.
The conditions required for the Madelung synthesis are quite severe. Fortunately, the aforementioned modifications have been since applied to enhance its practicality, working to decrease the required temperature at which the reaction is performed and increase the desired product yield. For example, when electron-donating are placed on the aromatic ring of the N-phenylamide and an electron-withdrawing substituent is substituted at R5, the required temperature for the reaction decreases to approximately 25 °C. Even more impressively, researchers have discovered that the required temperature for the Madelung synthesis decreases to a temperature range of −20 – 25 °C when butyl lithium (BuLi) and lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) bases are used, and when tetrahydrofuran is used as the solvent. This particular modification, the use of either of these metal-mediated bases, is termed the Madelung-Houlihan variation.
Synthetic applications
The Madelung synthesis has many important applications in chemistry, biochemistry, and industrial chemistry. This reaction served useful in synthesizing, with an 81% yield, the architecturally complex tremorgenic indole alkaloid (-)-penitrem D, a molecule naturally produced by ergot fungus that causes various muscular and neurological diseases in livestock. Because this toxin ultimately causes significant economic problems in the livestock industry, understanding how to synthesize and easily decompose alkaloid (-)-penitrem D is of great importance. Nonetheless, the synthesis of such a complex molecule was, by itself, an incredible feat.
Another facet through which the Madelung synthesis has served useful is in the synthesis of 2,6-diphenyl-1,5-diaza-1,5-dihydro-s-indacene, from 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine. This synthesis was performed without modification to the Madelung synthesis, using sodium ethoxide base at a temperature of 320 – 330 °C. This indacene has shown to be an organic light-emitting diode that may have important applications for low-cost light displays in commercial industry.
The Smith-modified Madelung synthesis
The Smith-modified Madelung synthesis, also called the Smith indole synthesis, was discovered in 1986 by Amos Smith and his research team. This synthesis employs a condensation reaction of organolithium reagents derived from 2-alkyl-N-trimethylsilyl anilines by esters or carboxylic acids to yield substituted indoles. This synthesis has proven applicable to a wide variety of substituted anilines, including those with alkyl, methoxy, and halide groups, and can react with non-enolizable esters or lactones to yield N-lithioketamine intermediates. These intermediates then undergo intramolecular heteroatom Peterson olefination to yield indolinines, which then tautomerize to 2-substituted indoles. The Smith indole synthesis is one of the most important modifications to the Madelung synthesis.
Reaction mechanism of the Smith indole synthesis
The Smith indole synthesis begins by use of two equivalents of an organolithium reagent (as organolithium reagents are very strong bases) to extract a hydrogen from both the alkyl substituent and the nitrogen, resulting in a negative charge on both. The synthesis proceeds with a nucleophilic attack of the carbanion on the electrophilic carbonyl carbon of the ester or carboxylic acid. When this occurs, the pi-bond of the electrophile is converted into a lone pair on the oxygen. These lone pairs are then reconverted back into a pi-bond, resulting in the expulsion of the -OR group. Next, the negatively charged nitrogen performs a nucleophilic attack on the adjacent electrophilic carbonyl carbon, again causing the pi-bond of the electrophile to be converted into a lone pair on the oxygen. This negatively charged oxygen then performs a nucleophilic attack on the silicon atom of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) group, resulting in a tricyclic compound, and a positively charged silicon atom and neutral oxygen atom. The synthesis proceeds through an intramolecular heteroatom Peterson olefination, ultimately resulting in an elimination reaction which expels a TMSO group and forms a pi-bond in the five-membered ring at the nitrogen atom. Then, keto-enol tautomerism occurs, resulting in the desired product.

Character Chart
Main characters
Marisol Suarez
Marisol Suarez (Ana Ortiz) originally goes undercover as a Beverly Hills maid in order to personally investigate the murder of Flora Hernandez. Her son, Eddie, has been arrested for the crime, despite allegedly being innocent, and so over the course of six months she works to befriend fellow maids - Rosie Falta, Carmen Luna, and Zoila Diaz - and find out everything they know about Flora. Taking a job at the Stappord house, while also working part-time for the Powells (Flora's old bosses), Marisol eventually tracks down the true culprit, Philippe Delatour, and her son is exonerated.
Three months pass by the time of the second season, and by then she has entered into a relationship with the mysterious Nicholas Deering. He quickly proposes marriage to her and they move in together, but Marisol can't quite shake there being something secretive about him... and his maid, Opal. Upon doing a whole new investigation, Marisol comes to find out that Nick is responsible for the death of Evelyn and Adrian Powell's son, Barrett. After making him confess the truth to them, she has him turn himself in to the police.
Four months have now passed, by the time of the third season, and Marisol has successfully published a book on the events of the first season. Now working towards the next chapter of her life, she starts a maid placement agency, which leads her to hiring male maid Jesse Morgan, who she starts dating. Problems often occur throughout their romance, as Marisol's previous bad luck with men gets in the way of being happy, and so Jesse eventually leaves her. She then gets involved in the new mystery at hand though, surrounding her former employer Taylor Stappord, and she helps Rosie solve the case that it was really Taylor's love, Sebastien Dussault, who killed tennis pro Louie Becker and maid Blanca Alvarez.
Another time jump, this time being six months, leads into the fourth season. Marisol's book is now being made into a movie, and she enters into a new relationship with head of the studio, Peter Hudson. Jesse pops back up in her life, however, and it turns out he never moved back to Seattle like he originally claimed. Drama strikes when Peter turns out to be Genevieve Delatour's ex-husband, and she comes to claim him back; Marisol also has a brief affair with Jesse. Meanwhile, she also helps Rosie with solving the murder of Peri Westmore, and after that is all complete, Peter and Marisol make amends for the latter's affair, and Peter proposes marriage. She accepts, and a time jump to one year later shows them about to get married; however, Marisol doesn't make it down the aisle. The maids go to investigate and it appears she has been kidnapped.
Rosie Falta
Rosie Westmore (Dania Ramirez) originates from Guadalajara, Mexico, having immigrated to the United States and takes a job for Peri and Spence Westmore as their maid. While saving money to get her son, Miguel, to America, Rosie goes about life serving the Westmores and also tending to their one-year-old son, Tucker. Rosie winds up entering into an affair with the unhappily married Spence, and is the first to learn that her new friend, Marisol, isn't really a maid, but undercover. While deciding to help Marisol in her investigation, Rosie also keeps hiding her and Spence's affair from Peri. Spence finally decides he wishes to leave Peri and proposes to Rosie, but when Peri sneaks Miguel into America and reunites him with Rosie, she can't bring herself to hurt Mrs. Westmore in such a way. It's only then that Peri learns of Rosie and Spence's affair, as they're about to call it quits, and she puts in a call to immigration and has the maid arrested.
Three months later, in the second season, Rosie goes on trial and is allowed to stay in America until scheduled to seek asylum six months later. She goes to reunite with Spence, who ends his marriage with Peri, but they're forbidden to be together when Peri threatens to destroy her husband's career if the world finds out he's leaving her for the maid. Meanwhile, Rosie finds work in the dysfunctional Miller household, headed by the post-stroke patriarch Kenneth Miller. She also starts seeing Kenneth's nephew, Reggie Miller, but overtime she comes to realize Reggie's been working to tear the family apart, getting wife Didi and daughter Lucinda kicked out, and is prepared to take all of Kenneth's money for himself. Rosie works to stop Reggie and reunite the Millers, and ends up reuniting with Spence. They get married, but when exiting the church, Rosie is shot by Ty McKay and winds up in a coma for the next four months.
Bringing the show into the third season, Rosie finally wakes up from her coma and goes to be with Spence, finally... until her supposedly deceased husband, Ernesto Falta, returns to the picture. Apparently he faked his death and has spent the last five years with the Gaviota Cartel. Rosie fights her feelings for both Spence and Ernesto, but ends up choosing Ernesto. In the meantime she finds work in the Stappord house, but starts to notice something going on with their daughter, Katy. Meanwhile, Ernesto turns out to have been working for the cartel, and he tries to kidnap Katy, really named Violeta, who the cartel has been after for quite sometime. Rosie finds out the truth and condemns her for it, and he decides to do the right thing and leave to settle things once and for all with the cartel, in order to ensure Rosie and Miguel's safety. This means he is stepping aside for her to be with Spence, but when she leaves to do so, she learns he has been beaten to the point of losing his memory of the last three years... giving Peri the perfect opportunity to return and brainwash her ex-husband against their former maid.
Six months later, in the fourth season, Rosie is now working for Genevieve Delatour, and still longs to be with Spence, who has gotten back together with Peri. With the help of their butler Jesse, however, Rosie is able to get to Spence, but after he pushes her away, he slips and falls and regains all his memories. He confronts Peri for her lies... and she is found murdered the next morning. Spence is arrested for the murder, despite being innocent, and Rosie works to prove his innocence. In order to stay close to the Westmores' son, Tucker, she gets a job as his nanny, working for Peri's sister, Shannon Greene. Rosie uncovers all of Peri's greatest secrets, such as the true paternity of Tucker, being that he is the product of Hugh Metzger drugging and raping Peri. However, Rosie ultimately finds out it wasn't Hugh that killed Peri, but his daughter, Gail Fleming. Once she is arrested, Spence is exonerated, and Rosie reveals she is pregnant from one of their conjugal visits. A year passes and Rosie's baby is born, and she attends Marisol's wedding where she and the other maids find that Marisol has been kidnapped.
Carmen Luna
Carmen Luna (Roselyn Sanchez) longs to be a famous singer, which is why she takes the job of being a maid for popstar Alejandro Rubio. While trying to get close to him in hopes he'll make her a star, she also has to battle the Russian housekeeper, Odessa. Meanwhile, Sam Alexander, the butler, is also crushing hard on Carmen, despite her not necessarily reciprocating his feelings... or so she thought. While they go through obstacles, Carmen comes to realize that she wants to be with Sam and they decide to move in together. However, word gets out that Alejandro is gay, and so his agents decide that he needs to marry a woman to convince the press otherwise; they make a deal with Carmen that if she marries Alejandro they'll make her a star, but that means breaking off her relationship with Sam. She chooses stardom.
In the second season, Carmen lives a life of luxury as Alejandro's glamorous fiancée, but this is cut short when he is shot dead by a band of robbers stealing from the rich in Beverly Hills. Carmen and Odessa mourn his loss, and from there Carmen is forced to find work elsewhere, that being in the home of Rosie's former boss, Spence Westmore. She becomes his new live-in maid, just as his nephew Ty McKay comes for an extensive stay. As it turns out, he's one of the robbers from the gang that killed Alejandro, not that Carmen knows that, and Ty starts to develop an unhealthy obsession for the maid. Once it becomes quite clear how mentally unstable he is, Spence is forced to make him leave as Carmen refuses to be anywhere near him. Spence ends up firing Carmen though, when he and Rosie are about to get married, and at a bar she meets Sebastien, who she sleeps with after he promises to introduce her to the Head of Talent for Discerna Records... then he finds out that it's really his wife. Carmen attends Rosie's wedding, but notices Ty just as he is about to drive and shoot it up.
Four months pass by the time of the third season, and Carmen is in an ongoing affair with Sebastien. Marisol, who has started up her own maid placement agency, sets Carmen up with a job for Evelyn and Adrian Powell, the latter of which she becomes the dominatrix of. With Adrian having learned of Carmen's affair with Sebastien, who is acting as his and his wife's realtor, he threatens to go to Sebastien's wife if they do not continue their S&M sessions. It's all put to a stop when Carmen finally goes to Evelyn though, and she finally gets the time to meet Sebastien's wife, Jacklyn, about making her a true star. Jacklyn becomes quite the fan of Carmen, and even interested in her in a more romantic way, but this is all cut short when she becomes aware of her affair with Sebastien. To punish the maid, she holds her under an exclusive contract to prevent her from making music anywhere else. Carmen's relationship winds up not even being worth it though, as it turns out Sebastien killed Louie Becker and Blanca Alvarez, and he winds up dying in the explosion of the Powell mansion.
Six months later, in the fourth season, Carmen continues to work for the Powells when she finds herself being visited by Daniela Mercado, the daughter she gave up years before. Initially Daniela believes the two of them are cousins, and Carmen chooses to keep it that way all throughout her stay in Beverly Hills, but she soon finds out the truth when Carmen argues over it with Danni's adoptive mother, Josefina. Carmen decides to push Danni away, however, and she decides to go on the hunt for her birth father instead. Mad at Carmen though, she returns claiming that he - Lucas - is dead, when in reality he is very much alive and wishes to see his high school lover. Carmen and Danni wind up becoming close again when Carmen saves her from being drugged and raped by Hugh Metzger, and the two decide to start their relationship over, but Carmen remains oblivious to the truth regarding Lucas. A year passes though, and Carmen attends Marisol's wedding where she and the other maids find that Marisol has been kidnapped.
Zoila Diaz
Zoila Diaz (Judy Reyes) is the maid of Genevieve Delatour, and mother of the teenaged Valentina. While her whole world revolves around her daughter's success, this means that she must prevent her from engaging in a relationship with Genevieve's son, Remi, as Zoila believes rich boys never fall for the help. This is because years ago Zoila had a relationship with Genevieve's brother, Henri, that didn't go so well, and when Valentina confronts her mother over this, she finally understands that she must let her daughter make her own decisions. Zoila stands by as Genevieve starts to go through a financial crisis and Valentina builds a relationship with Remi. What she does not support, however, is Valentina giving up her dream to go to Africa with Remi for a year. She convinces him to go without her, and to leave a note Zoila has previously already written. Valentina ends up finding out the truth though, and leaves for Africa without telling her mother. Meanwhile, Genevieve gets back together with her ex-husband, Philippe Delatour, something that goes unblessed by Zoila. The maid winds up taking part in unmasking him as having killed Flora Hernandez.
By the second season, three months have passed, and Zoila struggles to get in touch with Valentina. She soon returns from Africa though, having broken things off with Remi, and the two wind up making amends as Zoila decides to finally quit meddling in her life. Pablo, Zoila's husband, has previously left her for this, sending Zoila into the arms of chef Javier Mendoza. As the two fall hard and fast for one another, their relationship goes interrupted when Pablo returns to Zoila's life when Valentina gets into some trouble with the law. As the two start to spend more time together they wind up having an affair, and Zoila is left to choose which man she wishes to be with. She confesses the affair to Javier, but chooses Pablo... until she finds out he only wanted her back because he was homeless. She reconsiders her decision and return to Javier, but then finds out she's pregnant and doesn't know who the father is.
Four months later, in the third season, Zoila gets through mourning the death of Pablo, who was shot dead at Rosie's wedding, and is now more focused on revealing her pregnancy and confessing to whether or not the baby is his. Genevieve convinces her to pass it off as his, but when Zoila and Javier prepare to get married, she tells him the truth and he leaves her at the altar. This makes way for Zoila and Genevieve to start building on their own relationship, relying on one another, that is, until Genevieve begins seeing Dr. Christopher Neff, who frowns upon his girlfriend's closeness with the help. He works to sabotage their friendship, only for Genevieve to choose Zoila over him in the end. Zoila and Genevieve realize they do need to work on their relationship though, but now is not the time as Zoila goes into labor. Complications occur, however, and Genevieve is left to decide whom to prioritize: Zoila or her baby.
Six months pass, into the fourth season, and it's revealed Genevieve chose to prioritize Zoila and that she lost her baby in the hospital. Zoila is unable to forgive Genevieve, and winds up quitting, taking a job for an away fashion executive instead. As she'll be gone for six months though, Zoila starts to pass herself off as the owner of the house, which gets her into a relationship with a man named Kyle. This doesn't go approved by his mother Frances though, who works to sabotage it. Zoila also befriends Adrian Powell to fill the void Genevieve has left, but Zoila's fantasy starts to die down and she slowly breaks things off with Kyle. This is just as her employer, Fiona, is returning home though. Zoila plays a part in helping Rosie solve Peri Westmore's murder, as Kyle and Frances run a cult known as "The Circle" that has something to do with it, and Zoila quits her job for Fiona and returns to Genevieve. The two have made amends and decide to not meddle in each other's lives, which prevents Zoila from saying anything when she finds her boss has begun dating a woman named Lori. A year passes though, and Zoila attends Marisol's wedding, where she and Adrian exchange questionable glances. She and the other maids soon find that Marisol has been kidnapped.
Valentina Diaz
Valentina Diaz (Edy Ganem) is one of the maids of Genevieve Delatour, and the daughter of Zoila Diaz. She longs for the love of Genevieve's son, Remi, and attempts to form a relationship with him to her mother's dismay. Zoila works to prevent Valentina from getting close to him, as she believes rich boys never fall for the help, but after stepping aside she is proven wrong. Valentina ends up being able to get well acquainted with Remi, and after getting him through rehab when he becomes addicted to cocaine, he returns home and the two of them enter a relationship. It's when Remi wants to go to Africa for a year that Zoila tries to intervene again, as she doesn't want Valentina to throw away her dream of going to fashion school. She convinces Remi to go alone and leaving a pre-written note explaining why. This hurts Valentina, leading to Zoila confessing the truth; the mother and daughter have a falling out, and Valentina leaves for Africa without saying a word.
Three months pass by the time of the second season, and Valentina returns home as she and Remi have broken up. She tries to avoid Zoila at first, and takes a job as the Powells live-in maid, but she and her mother finally make up when Zoila promises to quit meddling in her daughter's life. Remi returns from Africa too, wanting Valentina back, but she finds herself in a new relationship with a poolboy named Ethan. Remi fights for Valentina's love, but the longer she spends with Ethan, the more his true colors comes out. Valentina officially terminates her relationship with Ethan when learning he is part of a robbery gang who killed Alejandro Rubio, and she gets back with Remi. This puts her in danger though, because, while Ethan goes on the run, the unstable member Ty McKay decides it's best to kill Valentina to keep her quiet. Valentina and Remi attend Rosie and Spence's wedding together, and Ty drives by to try and kill her, but misses, only killing her father Pablo instead.
Four months later, in the third season, Valentina and Remi are in a stable relationship, though the latter is more protective ever since the wedding shoot-out. When Remi finds himself being accepted into a school in New York, however, he convinces Valentina to join him since she can take a fashion internship up there too. They leave to do so, but not without becoming engaged and Remi taking Valentina's virginity.
Evelyn Powell
Evelyn Powell (Rebecca Wisocky) is the unhappy wife of Adrian Powell. She and her husband are the employers of murdered maid Flora Hernandez, and their lives start to peek the interest of Marisol Suarez, whose son, Eddie, was falsely arrested for killing the maid. As it turns out, Adrian runs a prostitution business where he hires women to sleep with his friends and then he records the sessions to make his own person pornography. This hobby disgusts Evelyn, but it's the only way to keep him from leaving her, as he blames her for their son being hit by a car; she looked away from him for just a few seconds. As Marisol digs through the Powells secrets, she works to find out the real killer of Flora Hernandez, but once doing so, she fails to get a proper confession out of him. It's the Powells who get justice for Flora, as they find out Philippe Delatour killed her, and they kill him themselves by poisoning him and throwing him off their balcony. Marisol and the maids add that he confessed to Flora's murder, and the Powells and the maids silently part ways.
Three months pass for the second season and the Powells appear to be in a fairly good place, that is, until their home is robbed during a dinner party and Adrian is left traumatized. Because of this, the couple hire a bodyguard named Tony Bishara, who Evelyn becomes instantly infatuated with. The couple also hire Valentina Diaz as a maid. Evelyn and Tony end up entering an affair, and they work to get Adrian sent off to a mental hospital for a brief period of time so they can be alone together; they just have to worry about Valentina. It's she who basically exposes their affair to Adrian, but when he catches them in the act he realizes how hurt he truly is. Adrian does away with Tony when learning he's really a con artist though, and works to rebuild his marriage with Evelyn. This is only enhanced when Marisol hauls her new husband, Nicholas Deering, who was also once friends with the Powells and make him confess to being the driver that ran over their son fifteen years before. As the Powells cry over this revelation, Marisol takes Nick to turn himself in to the police while Adrian and Evelyn decide to forgive one another for everything.
Four months later, and into the third season, Evelyn and Adrian seem to be happy, but their sex life lacks. Adrian comes to find he has a particular interest in bondage, whereas Evelyn decides she wants to sell their home when the severed leg of tennis pro Louie Becker winds up in their yard. Adrian fails to get Evelyn into his new found S&M lifestyle, and instead blackmails new maid Carmen Luna into joining him. She goes to Evelyn about this though, and it's put to a stop, while Evelyn has decided she desires the love of a child. She decides to foster a son by the name of Deion, who Adrian initially hated, but soon grows fond of. When he's taken away by his birth father though, Evelyn decides to end her marriage with Adrian. However, unforeseen events involving the exposure of their realtor Sebastien Dussault being an exposed as a murderer results in the explosion of their home, leaving Adrian's fate unknown.
A time jump of six months occur, making way for the fourth season, and Evelyn has become trapped in her marriage with Adrian as he fakes paralysis from the home explosion. Though she leaves him when learning the truth, Adrian is determined to make her fall in love with him again and so he works to destroy her life to send her crawling back. He seizes control over their accounts, preventing her from having any money, and she is forced to work for Marisol's maid company as her assistant. She begins dating Reverend James Hamilton, but this withers out when she realizes he's too nice for her. Adrian, meanwhile, decides to marry Gail Fleming in hopes of drawing Evelyn back, but they go through with signing their divorce papers, too stubborn. It's when Gail is arrested for murdering Peri Westmore that the Powells are left with the question of whether or not they get back together... and the answer goes unrevealed, as one year later Evelyn is seen acting as Marisol's maid of honor. It seems the bride has been kidnapped though, when she doesn't make it down the aisle.
Adrian Powell
Adrian Powell (Tom Irwin) is the unhappy husband of Evelyn Powell. He and his wife are the employers of murdered maid Flora Hernandez, and their lives start to pique the interest of Marisol Suarez, whose son, Eddie, was falsely arrested for killing the maid. As it turns out, Adrian runs a prostitution business where he hires women to sleep with his friends and then he records the sessions to make his own personal pornography. This hobby disgusts Evelyn, but it's the only way to keep him from leaving her, as he blames her for their son being hit by a car; she looked away from him for just a few seconds. As Marisol digs through the Powells secrets, she works to find out the real killer of Flora Hernandez, but once doing so, she fails to get a proper confession out of him. It's the Powells who get justice for Flora, as they find out Philippe Delatour killed her, and they kill him themselves by poisoning him and throwing him off their balcony. Marisol and the maids add that he confessed to Flora's murder, and the Powells and the maids silently part ways.
Three months pass for the second season and the Powells appear to be in a fairly good place, that is, until their home is robbed during a dinner party and Adrian is left traumatized. Because of this, the couple hire a bodyguard named Tony Bishara, who Evelyn becomes instantly infatuated with. The couple also hire Valentina Diaz as a maid. Evelyn and Tony end up entering an affair, and they work to get Adrian sent off to a mental hospital for a brief period of time so they can be alone together; they just have to worry about Valentina. It's she who basically exposes their affair to Adrian, but when he catches them in the act he realizes how hurt he truly is. Adrian does away with Tony when learning he's really a con artist though, and works to rebuild his marriage with Evelyn. This is only enhanced when Marisol hauls her new husband, Nicholas Deering, who was also once friends with the Powells and make him confess to being the driver that ran over their son fifteen years before. As the Powells cry over this revelation, Marisol takes Nick to turn himself in to the police while Adrian and Evelyn decide to forgive one another for everything.
Four months later, and into the third season, Evelyn and Adrian seem to be happy, but their sex life lacks. Adrian comes to find he has a particular interest in bondage, whereas Evelyn decides she wants to sell their home when the severed leg of tennis pro Louie Becker winds up in their yard. Adrian fails to get Evelyn into his new found S&M lifestyle, and instead blackmails new maid Carmen Luna into joining him. She goes to Evelyn about this though, and it's put to a stop, while Evelyn has decided she desires the love of a child. She decides to foster a son by the name of Deion, who Adrian initially hated, but soon grows fond of. When he's taken away by his birth father though, Evelyn decides to end her marriage with Adrian. However, unforeseen events involving the exposure of their realtor Sebastien Dussault being an exposed as a murderer results in the explosion of their home, leaving Adrian's fate unknown.
A time jump of six months occur, making way for the fourth season, and Evelyn has become trapped in her marriage with Adrian as he fakes paralysis from the home explosion. Though she leaves him when learning the truth, Adrian is determined to make her fall in love with him again and so he works to destroy her life to send her crawling back. He seizes control over their accounts, preventing her from having any money, and she is forced to work for Marisol's maid company as her assistant. Adrian starts to form a friendship with Zoila Diaz, despite finding out she's only pretending to be rich, and later decides to marry Gail Fleming in hopes of drawing Evelyn back, but they go through with signing their divorce papers, too stubborn. It's when Gail is arrested for murdering Peri Westmore that the Powells are left with the question of whether or not they get back together... and the answer goes unrevealed, as one year later Adrian attends Marisol's wedding. He sits in the audience as Evelyn is maid of honor, but the wedding is interrupted as it seems Marisol has been kidnapped.

After Flora's lover Eddie Suarez is arrested for the crime, Eddie's mother Marisol takes a job as a maid in order to unveil the real culprit. In "Setting the Table", Marisol discovers a note written by Flora just before she was murdered that reveals she was raped. However, Adrian takes the note and burns it before Marisol can invest any further.

Flora was among the women that Adrian would hire. Marisol discovers a positive pregnancy test among Flora's belongings in "Making Your Bed", and Rosie, Carmen, and Zoila reveal that Flora's goal was to become rich off of having a millionaire's baby. In "Taking Out the Trash", it's revealed that Eddie proposed to Flora via email and she turned him down, thus giving him motive to kill. Eddie later recalls Flora was blackmailing someone with a video, which Marisol realizes must be part of Adrian's DVD collection. Once getting a hold of the DVD in "Scrambling the Eggs", Marisol learns that the man who raped Flora is not the same man fathering her unborn child. Marisol visits Flora's grandmother Mirta where she learns that the father was one of Eddie's friends. This is revealed to be Remi Delatour in "Hanging the Drapes", who she now believes to be the culprit. Remi is ruled out as a suspect in "Cleaning Out the Closet", but a connection is established between Remi and Flora's rapist. In "Getting Out the Blood", Marisol deduces that the rapist and killer is Remi's father, Philippe Delatour, and she is set on exposing him in "Totally Clean". Though Marisol fails to get a confession from Philippe, Evelyn and Adrian also piece together that he killed Flora and they take matters into their own hands. Adrian poisons Philippe, and Marisol and the fellow maids act as witnesses to Philippe's confession, thus avenging Flora and getting Eddie exonerated.

As such, James assists Evelyn in breaking back into her home, and Evelyn informs Adrian that James will be around more often. Hoping to drive a wedge between James and Evelyn in "I Saw the Shine", Adrian calls for his PI to look into James' background. In "Much Ado About Buffing", however, James ends his relationship with Evelyn upon seeing she still has feelings for Adrian.
Blakemore's casting was announced in March 2016.

Ahmed Ben Bella Airport (), formally Es-Sénia Airport is an airport located 4.7 nm (8.7 km) south of Oran (near Es Sénia), in Algeria.
History
During World War II, La Sénia Airport was used by the French Air Force as a military airfield, first by the Armée de l'Air, and after June 1940, by the Armistice Air Force () of the Vichy government.
During the Operation Torch landings in 1942, La Sénia was one of the primary objectives of the assault on Oran on 9 November. A paratroop task force was to directly seize La Sénia, with an armored task force to thrust inland to insure the capture of the field. Just after daylight, eight Albacore dive bombers from H.M.S. Furious and six Hurricane fighter escorts from each of the two auxiliary carriers swung back over La Sénia airfield in broad daylight to be greeted by strong antiaircraft fire and Vichy fighters. The airfield was attacked in response by six 250-pound general-purpose bombs with which it accurately struck and wrecked the empty hangars on the northwestern side of the airdrome, inflicting destruction which was later to be regretted. In the ensuing dogfights, five Dewoitine 520 French fighters were claimed shot down and others damaged. A second attack on La Sénia airfield were delivered a few minutes later by ten Seafires from H.M.S. Furious in low-level strafing runs against grounded planes and antiaircraft batteries. Again Vichy French fighters contested the action. The Vichy fighters, however only defended the airfield vicinity and did not oppose the ground forces landing at Oran Harbor. The planned air assault against the airfield was redirected, and the airfield was captured by Company B, of the 1st Armored Regiment about 1000, after many Vichy Aircraft already flown off, presumably to French Morocco. A few remained dispersed on the ground or in the hangars.
After its capture, the airport was used by the United States Army Air Forces Twelfth Air Force as a combat airfield during the North African Campaign. The following units were assigned to the base in 1942 and 1943:
HQ, XII Fighter Command, 12 November–December 1942; 12 January – 20 March 1943
HQ, 51st Troop Carrier Wing, 28 March – 13 May 1943
3d Reconnaissance Group, 10–25 December 1942 (Various Reconnaissance aircraft)
31st Fighter Group, 12 November 1942 – 7 February 1943, Supermarine Spitfire
52d Fighter Group, 14 November 1942 – 1 January 1943, Supermarine Spitfire
86th Bombardment Group, 12 May – 3 June 1943, A-36 Apache
320th Bombardment Group, 2 December 1942 – 28 January 1943, B-26 Marauder
Once the combat units moved east to other airfields in Algeria and Tunisia during the late spring of 1943, the airfield came under the control of Air Transport Command, under which it functioned as a stopover en route to Algiers airport or to Port Lyautey Airfield, in French Morocco on the North African Cairo–Dakar transport route for cargo, transiting aircraft and personnel.
Expansion
Andrade Gutierrez, a Brazilian company has won a contract to construct a new runway in Oran Airport, located in the second largest city in Algeria. The construction was estimated to cost EUR 20 million. Oran has a population of around 650,000. Being the second largest city in the country, Oran is an important industrial, educational and cultural centre. The construction work at Oran airport is the second contract won by the company in Algeria.
The new 9,843 feet long runway 07R/25L has been operational since 12 February 2009.
Currently, the airport is composed of two terminals, one for domestic flights and the other for international flights. The international terminal is basically the previous airport, while the domestic terminal is a recent "huge tent" as the Algerians call it.
A new international terminal has been built; Terminal 3 has a surface area of 41,000 m2, which should allow the reception of 3.5 million passengers, extendable to 6 million passengers per year, which will bring the total capacity with the current terminal to 5.5 million passengers. It has 6 telescopic gangways as well as two cargo hangars with a surface area of 2,000 m2 and a capacity of 15,000 t/year. It also is equipped with photovoltaic panels for its electrical energy needs. It was inaugurated on 23 June 2022 by president Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

Feminist HCI is a subfield of human-computer interaction (HCI) that applies feminist theory, critical theory and philosophy to social topics in HCI, including scientific objectivity, ethical values, data collection, data interpretation, reflexivity, and unintended consequences of HCI software. The term was originally used in 2010 by Shaowen Bardzell, and although the concept and original publication are widely cited, as of Bardzell's proposed frameworks have been rarely used since.
History
In the early 1980s, there was optimism as to how the field of cognitive psychology could contribute to the development of the field of HCI. As computer systems at the time were widely regarded as difficult to learn and use, mainstream information processing theories and models in psychology were used as a basis from which to develop design principles, methods, analytic tools and prescriptive advice for the design of computer interfaces. This was done generally by three methods: basic research, cognitive modeling and science communication.
One such contribution to the development of HCI in the 90s was by John M. Carroll in 1991, which described in detail how scientific principles were applied to HCI experimental design. Carroll writes that at the time, the 50 year struggle to establish psychology as a science was an important factor in trying to apply the scientific method to HCI studies. Through the 1970s, the typical measures used by empirical studies for HCI were relatively simple; error frequencies and performance times such as by using or testing Fitt's law. However, these scientifically minded studies did not produce insight into improving programming. It was not well understood at the time, how to use structured programming to make higher code quality that is more reliable and maintainable.
The term gender HCI was first described in 2006, and its development is related to feminist HCI. Gender HCI by comparison, examines the functional differences between females and males in using specific computing software such as Excel, whereas feminist HCI applies social principles to the techniques used in HCI design. While it was not disputed there were significant gender gaps in technology participation, there was academic disagreement about the importance or relevance of gender in HCI design in the 2000s. Feminist HCI was also influenced by science and technology studies research.
The term feminist HCI was first used in a 2010 paper by Shaowen Bardzell's article titled Feminist HCI: Taking Stock and Outlining an Agenda for Design. It was one of the first papers at the time to propose adoption of feminist theories into HCI research and practice. It was followed up witth a second publication in 2011 detailing the historical interaction between social science and feminism, and how this relates to HCI.
According to a 2020 study of 70 papers using of the term and citing Bardzell's original paper, it was found that Bardzell's proposed frameworks have been widely cited but rarely used and in practice only amount to a superficial engagement with feminist theory.
Original theory
Bardzell's original theory first examines the history of feminist standpoint theory, science and technology studies, and Bardzell describes how they want the epistemology of HCI to change to better align with feminist standpoint theory. Bardzell considers principles including equity, diversity, social justice, and the already existing theories on gender HCI. This is followed by a literature review of how feminism has been applied to similar fields, including product design, architecture, urban planning and game design. The main proposal of the theory is using six core qualities in HCI design:
Pluralism: Building on feminist standpoint theory, this quality argues that human experience and culture is too varied to be captured within the universalism of one single technology or framework. This principle suggests that heterogeneous HCI design is important to not erase cultures. Bardzell gives an example of how a particular Western washing machine brand imported to India was poorly designed to operate with, and damaged Indian clothes.
Participation: Users of technology are typically viewed in HCI as subjects rather than on an equal level with the designers. Bardzell suggests having users be contribute design process (e.g. through participatory design). She argues that this work should occur alongside traditional usability testing.
Advocacy: Bardzell states there is a conflict between preserving the status quo of existing software in order for it to be familiar to users but with less features, and changing software which may impose developer values onto users. She suggests that users should be able to advocate for desired software through customisability options.
Ecology: Bardzell suggests examining the reflexive effects of HCI on larger social structures and ecosystems. For example, the way a house is designed has an impact on structuring the lives of people who live in it (see feminism and modern architecture for additional information).
Embodiment: A significant part of HCI research at the time in experimental design generally involved isolating single ('disembodied') factors and studying them separately within their own model, such as a mental model, or within information processing theory. Bardzell instead suggests a more holistic approach, such as by involving emotion, fun, spirituality, food, sexuality, and whole-body interactions as experimental elements, especially in gender HCI studies.
Self-disclosure: Bardzell asserts that typical HCI design involves making assumptions about the 'ideal' user for a website for a human-computer interface, and that this necessarily discriminates based on how similar any particular user is to this image of the ideal user. In turn, she states how software imposes this expectation of an intended or correct method on the user, expecting the users to change in order to use the software effectively. For example, she considers that the data collection practices of Amazon are used for targeted advertising, which in turn affects what media a user may see or purchase on the website, and over time this may change how the user behaves when using Amazon or in general. She believes that this effect is harmful and that a way to mitigate this harm is to give the users options to manually change or 'disclose' media recommendation preferences.
Examples
Examples of research utilizing feminist HCI include:
A 2012 case study by Jill Dimond et al. on how a non-profit activist organisation Hollaback! used use feminist HCI principles in computer-supported cooperative work systems design, and how this affected site use.
A 2016 paper by Catherine D'Ignazio using consumer participation, advocacy, and ecology to improve breast pump technologies.
A 2016 case study by Casey Fiesler et al. about how an online fan fiction community, consisting mostly of women, designed an accessible website for Archive of Our Own.
Related theory
For comparison, design theory that does not reference or use the term HCI can also involve feminist perspectives in design, such as:
Ecological emphasis on human life and prosperity over output and growth
Following best practices in labor/ international production /trade
Engaging in non-hierarchical/ interdisciplinary/ collaborative work
Addressing user needs at multiple levels, including support for pleasure/ fun/ happiness
Creating thoughtful products for female users

The 1960 Stanley Cup playoffs began on March 23, after the regular season ended. It was the tournament to determine the 1960 Stanley Cup professional ice hockey championship of the National Hockey League (NHL)
The regular-season Montreal Canadiens' momentum did not stop as they played eight games, the minimum number to win the Stanley Cup. Montreal, in the process, became the last Cup winners in NHL history to go perfect in the playoffs to date. After winning the Stanley Cup, Maurice Richard retired from the NHL as a champion.
Playoff bracket
Semifinals
Bobby Hull of the Chicago Black Hawks had led the league in scoring, but the well-oiled machine called the Montreal Canadiens managed to hold him to only one goal as the Canadiens swept the Black Hawks in four. The Toronto Maple Leafs, though, had a slightly tougher time against the Gordie Howe led Detroit Red Wings as it took the Leafs 6 games, including one in triple overtime, to win the series.

Michael Coughlan is a former general practitioner and ex-president of the Irish College of General Practitioners.
A native of Mervue, Coughlan served as a GP in Galway city from 1970 to July 2010. He had originally planned to make a career in music, having attained Grade 8 as a pianist and was offered a scholarship to the Royal Irish Academy. Instead he studied at NUI Galway, qualifying in 1970; he completed his internship at Monaghan hospital and began a postgraduate course in psychiatry. He returned to Galway to finish his training under Doctor Michael O'Flaherty, on Sea Road. He worked with the Magdalen laundry in Galway in the continued incarceration of women he believed to be unfortunate, he greatly enjoyed his time there and spoke fondly of it in the McAleese report, the report on the forced labour and institutionalisation of innocent women.
Coughlan established his own practice in 1977. Originally based at 5 Father Griffin Avenue, it moved to The Crescent to facilitate the six doctors, two practice nurses, practice manager, secretary and bookkeeper who are now employed there.
Coughlan was actively involved with several medical organisations, including the Irish Medical Association. He was a founding member of the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) in 1984. He served on the ICGP Executive for over a decade, holding the positions of Treasurer, Secretary, Vice-Chairman, Chairman (1994-1998) and President.
He completed a BA in Spanish some years ago at NUI Galway, the thesis topic was the links between Galway and Spain in the 16th century.

Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Cuba, however it is seldom used. The last executions were in 2003. National legislation provides for death penalty for murder, threatening to commit murder, aggravated rape, terrorism, hijacking, piracy, drug trafficking and manufacturing, espionage, and treason. The typical method is execution by firing squad.
Overview
The 1940 Constitution of Cuba banned capital punishment for peacetime offenses, but the penalty was officially reinstated by law as well as in practice following the Cuban Revolution, in 1959. The number of people executed remains uncertain, with most estimates around 5,000, but some sources suggest the number to be as high as 49,000. The last death sentences were officially commuted in December 2010.
The last recorded executions were on April 11, 2003, The case concerned three men who were found guilty of having hijacked a Regla ferry. The hijack occurred on April 4, 2003; during the incident, the plaintiffs were alleged to have threatened to kill passengers, demanding sufficient fuel to travel to the United States.
In 2010, the sentences of all remaining death row inmates in Cuba were commuted. The last person to have their death sentence commuted was Humberto Eladio Real, who killed a man during an attempted insurgency raid in 1994. His sentence was reduced to 30 years in prison in December 2010. To date, no further death sentences have been handed out.

The Great Western Railway (GWR) 2884 Class is a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotive. They were Collett's development of Churchward's earlier 2800 Class and are sometimes regarded as belonging to that class.
History
The 2884s were designed for heavy freight work and differed from the original Class 2800 engines (Nos. 2800-2883) in a number of respects, the most obvious being that a more modern Collett side window cab was provided and that they were built with outside steam pipes.
Production
83 of the 2884 class were built between 1938 and 1941. Those built during the war did not have the side window to the cab, and the side window on the others was plated over. This was to reduce glare, as a precaution against enemy air attacks. The windows were reinstated after the war.
The locomotives were so popular with the ex-Great Western crews that the British Railways Western Region operating authorities wanted more of the class built after nationalisation in 1948; however, this request was turned down in favour of BR Standard Class 9Fs.
Oil firing
Between 1945 and 1947, coal shortages caused GWR to experiment with oil fired 2800 locomotives. Eight of the 2884 class were converted and renumbered from 4850. The experiment, encouraged by the government was abandoned in 1948 once the extra maintenance costs were calculated and the bill had arrived for the imported oil.
1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials
The year 1948 also saw one of the 2884 class, No.3803 (now preserved), emerge remarkably successfully from the 1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials against more modern engines including the LMS 8F and the WD Austerity 2-8-0 and WD Austerity 2-10-0. It took the appearance in 1954 of the British Railways BR standard class 9F 2-10-0 to displace the 2800s from their main role of mineral haulage. Nevertheless, there was still work for them right up to the end of steam on the Western region in 1965. Six decades of service testify to the fundamental excellence of Churchward's original conception.
Withdrawal
Preservation
Nine examples of the 2884, were saved from Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales and four of these engines have operated in preservation.
Models
Hornby Railways manufacture a model of the 2884 Class in OO gauge.
Dapol produce a model in N gauge.

Ruth Suzanne Dyson (born 11 August 1957) is a former New Zealand politician. She was a Labour Party Member of Parliament from 1993 to 2020. She represented the electorate from the election to 2020. She also held a number of senior offices in the Labour Party, including president.
Early life and career
Dyson was born in Lower Hutt in 1957. Her father served in the New Zealand Army, and so Dyson's family frequently moved around the country. Dyson joined the Labour Party in Westport in 1979, and worked as a campaign organiser for West Coast Labour MP Kerry Burke in the 1981 and 1984 election campaigns. In 1985, she moved to Wellington, where she worked with Labour MP Fran Wilde on the Homosexual Law Reform Bill before taking up a position as an advisor to Burke in the office of the Minister of Employment in 1986. She worked as an organiser for Wilde's re-election campaign in Wellington Central for the 1987 election. Dyson was then employed as an executive officer at Wellington Regional Employment and ACCESS Control.
She held several senior positions in the Labour Party hierarchy. In 1984 she was elected the women's representative on Labour's New Zealand Council before becoming a member of the party executive in 1986. She was the elected vice president of the party at the 1987 Labour conference. At the 1988 conference in Dunedin Dyson won a highly contested campaign to win the party president from former president and maverick MP Jim Anderton by 99 votes (575 to 473). After the defeat of the controversial Fourth Labour Government Dyson was self-employed as a training and employment consultant from 1990 to 1993.
In the lead up to the Dyson stood for the Labour nomination in the Christchurch seat of Lyttelton. She beat 5 other local aspirants for the nomination and pledged to move from Wellington into the electorate before the election.
Member of Parliament
Dyson first entered Parliament in the , winning the electorate against National's David Carter. In the , the Lyttelton electorate was abolished, and Dyson stood in , losing to Carter, who had in the meantime become an MP through winning the 1994 Selwyn by-election. She became a list MP owing to her position on the Labour Party's list. After the 1996 election Dyson was appointed Labour's spokesperson for ACC and Disability Services by leader Helen Clark. In the she in turn defeated Carter to win Banks Peninsula. She has remained the MP for the area (later renamed Port Hills) since that time, holding the seat until her retirement in 2020.
Dyson was a senior member of the Labour Party during the Helen Clark-led Fifth Labour Government, serving in a range of health and employment-related portfolios including Minister for Disability Issues (1999–2000; 2001–2008), Minister for ACC (2002–2007), Minister of Labour (2005–2007) and Minister for Social Development and Employment (2007–2008).
Fifth Labour Government, 1999–2008
When the Labour Party won power in the 1999 general election, Dyson was appointed to a number of minor ministerial roles, including Disability Issues and Associate Health and Associate Social Development. However, she resigned them on 31 October 2000 after being caught drink driving. She regained most of her ministerial responsibilities on 4 June 2001. She acknowledged after her resignation that she had been convicted and fined for possession of cannabis when she was a teenager stating "I find it sickening that some 25 years later someone has anonymously passed this information to journalists."
As Minister for Disability Issues, she led the development of what would become the New Zealand Sign Language Act 2006, which gave New Zealand Sign Language the status of an official language of New Zealand. In her valedictory statement in 2020, Dyson reflected on the Act: "I regret that it wasn't more prescriptive in its implementation, because its roll-out has been slower than it could have been. That should be fixed."
In a reshuffle on 31 October 2007, Dyson was promoted to Minister for Social Development, which she held until the Clark government lost power at the 2008 general election. Despite the swing against Labour at that election, Dyson won the new Port Hills electorate with an increased margin.
Opposition, 2008–2017
The National Party won the 2008 election, putting Labour in Opposition where it would remain for the next nine years. During this time Dyson held a range of portfolios, including health (2008–2011), internal affairs (2011–2013), conservation and disability issues (2013–2015), Canterbury Earthquake Recovery (2013–2014) and senior citizens (2013–2017). She was also deputy chair of the Health select committee (2008–2011) and chair of the Government Administration select committee (2011–2017).
In December 2009 Dyson's Resource Management (Requiring Authorities) Amendment Bill, which would amend the Resource Management Act 1991 to reintroduce a public interest test for projects seeking requiring authority, was drawn from the member's ballot. The bill was defeated at its first reading.
Dyson was criticised in December 2015 for describing National's Speaker David Carter as "incompetent, biased... lazy [and] sexist" on Twitter.
Sixth Labour Government 2017–2020 and retirement
Dyson had been positioned to be Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (to Trevor Mallard) if Labour won the 2017 general election. While Labour was able to form a Government (in coalition with New Zealand First), the National Party's Anne Tolley was appointed as Deputy Speaker instead. Dyson was put in the role of Labour's Senior Whip. However, when the Assistant Speaker Poto Williams was appointed as a Minister outside Cabinet in July 2019, Dyson was named as her replacement.
Dyson was also chair of the Abortion Legislation Committee (a special select committee that examined the Abortion Legislation Bill) and a member of the Epidemic Response Committee (which considered the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic).
In March 2019, Dyson indicated that she would not seek re-election at the 2020 general election. While the Port Hills electorate was disestablished for that election, Labour's candidate for the replacement electorate of Banks Peninsula was Tracey McLellan.
In the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours, Dyson was appointed a Companion of the Queen's Service Order, for services as a member of Parliament and to people with disabilities.
In March 2023, Dyson was accused of not being politically impartial in her roles as deputy chair of the Earthquake Commission and Fire and Emergency New Zealand as is the expectation of public servants and government-appointed board members. She admitted to not having read the code of conduct governing her position as a Crown entity board member. She said "I'm prepared to review all my social media engagement and reflect on whether it meets the standard. I haven't done that yet," She had written on Twitter "Oh no. It sounds like some cruel junior staffer gave Mr Luxon the wrong speech! #Waitangi2023," Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said "I would certainly expect her to be reading it [Code of Conduct] ... my understanding is she has subsequently been in touch with the relevant minister's office to indicate she will read the code of conduct and she will follow it".

The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) is a non-governmental cooperative organization founded in 1895 to unite, represent and serve cooperatives worldwide. The ICA is the custodian of the internationally recognised definition, values and principles of a cooperative in the ICA Statement on the Cooperative Identity. The ICA represents 315 co-operative federation and organisations in 107 countries.
The ICA provides a global voice and forum for knowledge, expertise and coordinated action for and about cooperatives. The members of the ICA are international and national cooperative organisations from all sectors of the economy, including agriculture, banking, consumer, fisheries, health, housing, insurance, industry and services. The ICA has members from more than 100 countries, and it is estimated to represent one billion individuals worldwide. Cooperatives are values-based businesses owned by their members. Whether they are customers, employees or residents, the members get an equal say in the business and a share of the profits.
At the United Nations, the ICA participates in high-level discussions of relevance to cooperatives through its consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), which it has had since 1946, the first non-governmental organisation to do so. The ICA also has individual partnership agreements with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and participates in the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Social and Solidarity Economy (UNTFSSE). Since 1971, the ICA has been a founding member of the Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC), a UN multi-stakeholder partnership of global public and private institutions that promotes and advocates for people-centred, self-sustaining cooperative enterprises, guided by the principles of economic, social and environmental sustainable development.
The ICA has been participating in the G20 Engagement Groups since 2014, having representatives in the taskforces and contributing actively to the discussions and preparation of documents. In 2020, the ICA created the Cooperative G20 Working Group to bring the cooperative movement's voices to the G20 Engagement Groups through their contribution in drafting policy papers, background materials, and advocacy documents to show their involvement and contribution in resolving issues addressed by the G20 Summit.
In 2006 the ICA published the first major index of the world's largest cooperative and mutual enterprises, the ICA Global 300, which demonstrated the scale of the cooperative movement globally. Since 2011, together with European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprises (EURICSE), the ICA Global 300 has evolved into the World Cooperative Monitor, a project designed to collect robust economic, organizational, and social data about cooperatives worldwide. The publication reports on the world's largest cooperatives and mutuals, or groups of cooperatives and mutuals, including rankings of the Top 300 and sectoral analysis. Since 2018, each edition has also a thematic focus, in 2022 it was dedicated to the digitalization and the cooperative identity.
The ICA created in 2018 the International Cooperative Entrepreneurship Think Tank (ICETT) to boost cooperatives' entrepreneurial performance. Through innovative ideas, research, education, and cooperation, its members address the global challenges that cooperative enterprises are facing today.
On the first Saturday of July each year, the ICA coordinates celebrations of International Day of Cooperatives.
In December 2009, the United Nations declared 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives.
The ICA launched its 2020-2030 Strategic Plan, named “A People-Centred Path to a Second Cooperative Decade”, based on the earlier Blueprint for a Cooperative Decade, and providing strategic guidance to the ICA and its bodies for the 2020-2030 decade. This Strategic Plan is based on 22 months of preparatory work, including two surveys with the whole ICA membership, two consultations with the ICA bodies (Regions, Sectoral Organizations, Thematic Committees and Youth Network) and several days of meetings and written consultations within the ICA Board.
Structure
The ICA consists of a 20-member governing board, a General Assembly, four regions (one each for Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Americas), eight sectoral organisations and five thematic committees.
General Assembly
The General Assembly is one of the ICA's governing bodies. It is the highest authority of the ICA, constituted of representatives from its member organisations. It is convened at least one a year with a possible extraordinary assembly being held if the Board were asked by more than one-fifth of the members,or by members who represent at least one-fifth of the total number of votes, or by the statutory auditor.

Thematic Committees
Committee on Cooperative Research
The ICA Committee on Cooperative Research (ICA CCR) is a bridge between academic research and the cooperative world. The ICA CCR aims to raise awareness of cooperative research, particularly to managers and cooperators so that it can be applied effectively to current cooperative issues. One of the main activities of the CCR is the organisation of research conferences at the global and regional levels, including the biennial Global Research Conference.
Cooperative Law Committee
The Cooperative Law Committee gives independent advice to the ICA on cooperative law, broadly defined to include all legal rules that shape the cooperative institution and regulate its operations.
International Cooperative Development Platform
The International Cooperative Alliance Development Platform (ICADP) is the ICA Committee that brings together cooperative organisations active in international development. Its mission is to promote the cooperative model within international development policies and programs, as well as to enhance collaboration across regions both inside and outside the cooperative movement.ICADP serves as a forum for discussion and exchange of experiences and knowledge on international cooperative development.
Gender Equality Committee
The Gender Equality Committee of the ICA (ICA GEC) is a catalyst for change to make gender equality a reality in all cooperatives and serves as a forum for the discussion and exchange of experiences and ideas on issues related to gender equality. It promotes equality between women and men and gender integration in the cooperative movement and society.
ICA Youth Committee (constituted 2021)
The ICA's Youth Committee aims to help young cooperators from different countries to connect, share experiences and ideas, as well as to provide an environment where young cooperators can learn more about the wider cooperative movement. Involving young people from outside the movement through education and support is a key focus of the work of this network. The network also looks to empower young cooperators to engage with the rest of the movement to both raise the profile of youth issues and to ensure the youth perspective is presented during wider discussions.
Statement on the Cooperative Identity
The Statement on the Cooperative Identity, promulgated by the ICA, defines and guides cooperatives worldwide. It contains the definition of a cooperative as a special form of organization, the values of cooperatives, and the currently accepted cooperative principles (the Rochdale Principles) that direct their behavior and operation. The Statement with the latest revision of the cooperative principles was adopted by ICA in 1995.
Consultation on the #CoopIdentity
The 33rd World Cooperative Congress, with the theme Deepening Our Cooperative Identity, initiated a consultative process to explore cooperators' understanding of the Statement and to examine how well it has stood the test of time.
Following on from the Congress, the ICA Board set up the Cooperative Identity Advisory Group (CIAG) to continue the reflection and consultation on the cooperative identity. The Group comprises 23 persons from all ICA regions and is chaired by ICA board member Alexandra Wilson from Canada.
On 13 May 2022, the ICA hosted a webinar to share the main takeaways from the 33rd World Cooperative Congress, promote the global consultation on the Statement on the Cooperative Identity, and bring together cooperators and the cooperatives branch of the International Labour organisation (ILO) ahead of the 110th Session of the International Labour Conference and the International Day of Cooperatives.
Up to 31 October, cooperators worldwide had a chance to answer a survey gathering opinions on whether the cooperative identity is well defined and understood. Cooperators in 136 different countries answered the survey. On 14 December 2022, the CIAG organised a webinar entitled 'Sharing the results of the survey on the Cooperative Identity', unveiling the findings of the survey.
Other seminars and online events to explore the cooperative identity will follow in 2023. From now to 2024–2025 when the consultation will conclude with decisions from the ICA General Assembly, the following steps are foreseen:
The CIAG will reflect on the feedback and ideas garnered through the consultation process.
The ICA Global Board will deliberate on the advice from CIAG and the Cooperative Identity Committee Board, reporting to ICA members.
ICA members will make the final decision at one or more general assemblies.

The flag
ICA adopted its original rainbow flag in 1925, with the seven colors symbolizing unity in diversity and the power of light, enlightenment, and progress.
The rainbow ICA flag is now superseded with the current version in plum background and a white ICA logo in the center.
The International Day of Cooperatives
Marked by cooperatives worldwide since 1923 and officially proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly on the centenary of the ICA in 1995, the International Day of Cooperatives (#CoopsDay) is celebrated annually on the first Saturday of July.
The aim of #CoopsDay is to increase awareness of cooperatives and promote the movement's ideas of international solidarity, economic efficiency, equality, and world peace. Since 1995, the ICA and the United Nations through Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC) have jointly set the theme for the celebration of #CoopsDay.
Through #CoopsDay, local, national and global policymakers, civil-society organisations and the public in general can learn about the contribution of cooperatives to a secure future for all.

The Cooperative marque and .coop
Since 2001, DotCooperation has united the cooperative community through a shared online identity and platform where cooperative organizations can participate, inform, educate, and pioneer a path for others to join and support the cooperative movement.
DotCooperation empowers cooperatives to participate and thrive in the digital economy with identity tools and resources. Identity tools include .coop domain names and the Cooperative Marque, sector domain names. Resources include the .coop Global Directory and the Digital Empowerment Learning Hub.
DotCooperation is jointly owned by the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) and NCBA-CLUSA (National Cooperative Business Association-CLUSA International), two non-profit organizations with a mission to develop the global cooperative movement.
Every cooperative that uses a .coop domain name as the primary address for their website elevates their cooperative identity, principles, and purpose. It unites the cooperative movement online with a shared identity. It transforms an organization's value from a lone contributor to an active participant of a global online network of cooperatives. All cooperatives verify their identity when selecting a .coop domain name.
The Cooperative Marque is used by coops around the world to support the cooperative movement. It is used as a cooperative community badge, alongside your own brand identity. The Marque can be used on your mobile app, website, newsletters, email signature, publications, promotions, packaging, merchandise and signage.
Together, .coop and the Cooperative Marque are symbols of the global cooperative movement and our collective identity. They differentiate your cooperative from a private or investor-owned business.

In 2017, Donahue revealed that the archdiocese will work with Chicago's Youth Guidance to develop parish-based programs for youth that help them overcome obstacles and succeed in life.
Donahue ministers at St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Parish in Chicago, and is the principal celebrant of WGN-TV Channel 9’s Sunday Mass at Mercy Home.
Donahue was inducted in the Irish American Hall of Fame in April 2019 in the religion category for his 37-year ministry as a Catholic priest and his work at Mercy Home. He has authored a book entitled Years of Mercy.

Allstate Insurance Co. v. Hague, 449 U.S. 302 (1981), was a conflict of laws case decided by the United States Supreme Court.
Background
The testator, Ralph Hague, was a Wisconsin resident who worked in Minnesota. While riding his motorcycle in Wisconsin near the Minnesota border, he was hit and killed by a car driven by another Wisconsin resident. Hague's wife moved to Minnesota and was appointed administrator of his estate there. Hague had three insurance policies worth $15,000 each. The Allstate Insurance Company refused to pay on more than one of these, and Hague's wife filed a lawsuit in Minnesota against the insurance company.
Under Wisconsin law, a testator who held multiple insurance policies could only collect on one of them, but under Minnesota law, a testator could 'stack' the policies, and collect the full $45,000. Applying Minnesota's better-law approach to choice of law, the Minnesota trial court chose to apply Minnesota law based on public policy. The Minnesota Supreme Court agreed and also concluded that this was the better law. The defendant, Allstate, appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
Issue
The Court was confronted with the question of whether the application of Minnesota law was a violation of either the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment or the Full Faith and Credit Clause of Article Four of the United States Constitution.
Supreme Court
A plurality opinion by Justice Brennan, joined by three other justices, held that both the Fourteenth Amendment and the Full Faith and Credit Clause are satisfied so long as there are sufficient aggregate contacts with the state whose law is applied. The plurality opinion found three important contacts:
Testator worked in Minnesota (he commuted into Minnesota and had certain rights guaranteed there, and his Minnesota employer lost his services);
Defendant did business in Minnesota, was familiar with Minnesota laws, and knew it could be sued there;
Testator's wife moved to Minnesota and was named administrator there, with nothing suggesting the move was forum shopping.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Stevens said there was no Full Faith and Credit violation unless application of forum law threatens national unity, and no Fourteenth Amendment due process violation unless application of the chosen law was totally arbitrary or fundamentally unfair.
Stevens proposed that the mere interpretation of a contract by one law or another would not threaten unity, alleviating any Full Faith and Credit Clause problem. The defendant did business in Minnesota and knew that stacking was the majority rule, and there was no contract provision addressing stacking or forum coverage. Therefore, there was no Fourteenth Amendment due process problem. The testator's employment and post-accident move were completely irrelevant to the outcome.
Stevens further proposed that application of the law of the forum state can never be totally arbitrary because the court's familiarity with its own law will make such a choice presumptively valid. He opined that Minnesota courts were wrong on application of choice of law, but that it was not the function of the United States Supreme Court to deal with that.
Justice Powell dissented. Powell proposed that the forum state court's decision to apply its own law was valid unless there were no significant contacts. He identified two policies driving the Court's precedents:
Contacts cannot be so slight and casual as to make application of forum law fundamentally unfair, with the touchstone being the reasonable expectations of the parties;
Forum state must have a legitimate interest in the outcome of the litigation (even if citing public policy) – that is, litigation must deal with things that affect persons in the state or happened in the state.
Powell did not disagree with Stevens's first prong because the defendant did business in Minnesota, and could be sued anywhere. However, he did not think application of Minnesota law furthered a legitimate state interest. Powell also agreed that the post-accident move was irrelevant, and that giving it weight would encourage forum shopping. It was also irrelevant that the insurer did business there, as it did business everywhere. The testator's employment in Minnesota was irrelevant to the facts of this case, where neither the policy, nor the accident, nor the stacking question had anything to do with the testator's work.
Justice Potter Stewart did not participate in the case, resulting in a 4-1-3 split.
Significance
The opinion enunciated the test for whether there is a "significant aggregation of contacts" sufficient that "applying local law would not be fundamentally unfair", and "demonstrated how minimal this requirement is in practice".

Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission, known commonly as HPPSC, is a government agency and topmost constitutional body of Government of Himachal Pradesh constituted on 8 April 1971. It is responsible for conducting Civil Services examinations and Competitive Examinations to select the eligible candidates for various civil services and departmental posts.
History
The foundation of HPPSC came into existence on 1 November 1966 when the state governor requested President of India to establish a civil service body for the Himachal Pradesh state. It was originally established under the provisions of Act, 318 of Constitution of India which authorized the state government to form state public service commission.
Functions and responsibilities
As amended in Article 320 of the Constitution of India, the State Public Service Commission is granted to perform the following functions:
To conduct examinations for appointments to the services in its respective state.
If Union Public Service Commission requested by two or more state commissions in assisting framing, or operating schemes of joint recruitment for any service for which candidates possessing special qualifications are required.
To make appointments to state civil services.
To promote and transfer from one service to another and to check the suitability of candidates for such decisions.
Commission profile
HPPSC consists of various members and a chairman that are appointed or removed by the state governor. Their term of service is set to fixed period which starts from the date of appointment.

Bülent Keneş is a Turkish journalist, currently living in exile in Sweden and working with the Stockholm Center for Freedom. He previously served as editor-in-chief of Today's Zaman.
Biography
Keneş earned a bachelor's degree in international relations from Boğaziçi University and a PhD from Marmara University. From 2005 to 2006, he served as editor-in-chief of Bugün. In 2007, he joined Today's Zaman as the newly-founded English-language newspaper's first editor-in-chief.
In July 2014, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan filed a legal complaint against Keneş with the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, alleging that Keneş had targeted him with a smear campaign.
On 9 October 2015, Keneş was arrested by Turkish police on charges of insulting Erdoğan, now President of Turkey, on Twitter. The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned the arrest as part of a "relentless crackdown on the press" in Turkey.
Following the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt, further arrest warrants were issued by Turkish authorities, targeting him and 46 other Zaman employees. When announcing those arrest warrants, the Turkish government claimed that Zaman was the "flagship media organization" of the Gülen movement.
Following Sweden's application for NATO membership in 2022, the Turkish government demanded the extradition of several dozen individuals living in Sweden, including Keneş. In December 2022, the Supreme Court of Sweden blocked the extradition of Keneş, ruling that several of the Turkish charges against him were not crimes under Swedish law and that there was "a risk of persecution based on this person’s political beliefs."

Nathan Aviezer (born 1938) is an American-Israeli physicist who writes on Torah and science, especially on evolution and cosmology from an Orthodox Jewish perspective. He is a Professor of Physics and former Chairman of the Physics Department of Bar-Ilan University.
Biography
Aviezer was born in Switzerland in 1935 and raised in the United States. He received his doctorate in physics from the University of Chicago, and subsequently held a research position at the University of Illinois in the research group of Professor John Bardeen, the only person ever to be awarded two Nobel Prizes in physics. He was then invited to join the research group at the IBM Watson Research Center near New York headed by Professor Leo Esaki, who was also a Nobel Prize winner. In 1967, Aviezer and his wife Dvora made aliyah to Israel. He is the author of 140 scientific articles on solid state physics. In recognition of his important research contributions, he was honored by being elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (1984).
In addition to his scientific research, Aviezer has a long-standing involvement in Torah and science and he has written three books on the subject: "In the Beginning" (translated into nine languages),"Fossils and Faith" (translated into four languages), "Modern Science and Ancient Faith" (recently published). For several decades, Aviezer has received invitation to lecture on the subject of Torah and science throughout the world. Aviezer also gives a course in Torah and science at Bar-Ilan University. In 1999, his course was awarded the prestigious Templeton Prize. Aviezer continues to give lectures on Torah and science throughout Israel as well as abroad.
Views on creation and evolution
Aviezer publishes on the subject of Torah and science, using the language of science and rejecting creationism. Aviezer allows for divine guidance within an evolutionary paradigm in the transmutation of species over time, including the emergence of modern man. He interprets the six days of creation as broadly referring to large periods of time, an interpretation for which he cites rabbinic sources, including Maimonides and Nachmanides, citing in particular the problem with defining the several "days" of creation that precede the creation of the Sun, according to the Biblical narrative.

Sixto Paz Wells (Lima, Peru, December 12, 1955) is an author and lecturer focused on the UFO phenomena, particularly alien contact, from a spiritual viewpoint. Known as the visible head of the Rahma Mission in Spain and a number of Latin American countries, stands out among the ufologists for having summoned the international press to sightings scheduled in advance in more than ten occasions. As a self proclaimed contactee, he has published 20 books in Spanish and one in English about this subject so far (July 2017). In his works about UFOlogy he promotes a systematic method of physical and mental preparation for contact, as well as protocols for documenting, validating and confirming contact experiences.
Life
Paz Wells was born in Lima, Peru, in December 12, 1955, to Rose Marie Wells Vienrich and Carlos Paz García, an astronomer and scientific adviser of the Peruvian Air Force, as well as researcher interested in the UFO phenomena.
From the age of twelve he became interested in UFOs because of his proximity to the Peruvian Institute of Interplanetary Relations (IPRI), founded and presided over by his father.
He coursed primary and secondary studies with the Marist Brothers, culminating his studies in the first place in the Order of Merits.
Sixto Paz, 19 at that time, invites the Spanish journalist J. J. Benitez to a programmed sighting of an unidentified flying object in the Chilca desert on September 7, 1974.
He then pursued university studies at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, in the faculty of History.
He is married to Marina Torres since 1987 and have two daughters: Yearim and Tanis.
Career
On January 22, 1974, he attended a conference titled "Telepathy as a transmission of distance thought", given by a physician member of the Theosophical Society. That night, after a deep relaxation exercise, Paz Wells received with his mother and sister, a message through automatic writing. The message supposedly was from a being named Oxalc from Ganymede, with the intention of establishing communication with some earthlings. Sixto repeated the group experience, and they all were summoned to a sighting scheduled on February 7, 1974, at 9 pm in the Chilca desert, where according to the attendants appeared a very bright lens-shaped aircraft with windows.
Sixto Paz was interested in communicating with aliens astrally, in dreams or telepathically, and not only physically with their ships, which was the traditional approach of IPRI ufologists.
Similar experiences were happening until August 1974, when the agency Efe spread the news that involved the Paz Wells family:
Following the note from Efe, journalist J. J. Benítez was sent from Spain to learn about the unusual experience of Paz Wells teenagers. Benítez did not get involved with Ufology out of his curiosity, but rather found the UFO phenomenon meeting the Rama Mission. Sixto invites him to the scheduled sighting of an unidentified flying object, along with his sibling, Veronica and seven other people at the Chilca desert on September 7, 1974. Benitez saw, as had been announced in advance, two UFOs.
Rahma Mission
Originally called the RAMA Mission, it was named after the goal they shared: RA (Sun) MA (Earth), a contact program that seeks to transform the human being into a star, into a Sun on Earth. It was the organization of groups of sympathizers of the method promoted by Paz Wells to contact those who he called "Extraterrestrial Guides".
Through IPRI Paz Wells contacted the "International Society of Divine Realization" where he learned yoga, relaxation, meditation and deep concentration techniques, which he would later encourage among the Rahma groups to facilitate contact. Since the Chilca event of September 1974, together with his sibling Veronica and close friends from IPRI, he began work with groups of enthusiasts in Peru, which were growing and ended adopting the name RAMA Mission.
It was officially dissolved as an organization by its founder in 1990, although there are groups that are still working independently. It came to have a presence in several countries of Latin America and Spain, where it was reviewed as one of the eleven sects or groups that have the extraterrestrials as core of their doctrines.
International Forums
Sixto Paz describes himself as a messenger of peace and hope, rather than a messenger of other worlds. He has appeared in international forums such as the United Nations and in universities such as Columbia University and John F. Kennedy University. In other countries, the University of Montreal, the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and the National Autonomous University of Mexico have also had him as a lecturer.
Visited countries
Paz Wells travels around the world giving lectures about his take on the UFO phenomena. He has visited Europe, Africa, Oceania and America such as Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay and United States, being most noted his visit to Washington DC in May 2015.
In more than ten opportunities he has summoned members of the international press to witness, record and photograph the sightings of lights and objects in the sky, which the author claims are directed or manned by extraterrestrial beings who maintain telepathic contact with him and other members of his contact groups. Among these experiences are one of August 1997 on the Valparaíso beach north of Lima, March 3, 2009, in the Chilca desert, in 2014 also in Chilca, and 2014 in Teotihuacan, Mexico.
Critics
As a self proclaimed contactee, Paz Wells has faced skepticism, even from the so called serious ufologists.
On March 31, 1994, Paz Wells was invited to the Spanish television program "La hora de la verdad", in which he underwent a polygraph test. He has been criticized for not passing the test on the question "Have you truly traveled in a spacecraft to another planet?", which is one of the main arguments the author uses to back up his claims. However, Paz Wells did pass all other questions such as "Have you ever been under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug?", "Have you received money from any spy service?", "Have you invented all these stories For exclusively lucrative purposes? ", "Without having to do with this matter, have you ever lied to get out of a hurry?" which he argues in his defense as proof of character. He also says that he failed the question "Have you really traveled in a spacecraft to another planet?" because he claims to have visited Ganymede, which is not a proper planet but a moon of Jupiter, an imprecision that made him stumble.
The Rahma Mission of which Paz Wells was the visible head until its dissolution in 1990 has been described by psychologists and philosophers as a UFO religion and a neo-religious group whose beliefs are very similar to those of Theosophy and nineteenth century's Occultism, while using the techniques from Spiritism. In 1976, his brother Charlie settled in Brazil and formed contact groups there with a different orientation than Sixto was giving to the RAMA Mission, claiming that it was becoming "a movement plagued of interpretation errors, struggles for leadership and unclear economic purposes."
Published books
He has written more than 20 books since 1985, published in Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Italy, Germany, and the United States. Some of them have been translated into English, German, Italian and Portuguese.

Canarium indicum, known as galip nut, is a mainly dioecious tree native in eastern Melanesia. It is usually found in rainforests, secondary forests, old garden areas, around villages and settlements. It is also used as a shade tree, as a windbreak and in agroforestry. Canarium is important in the world food system as it can be used as a food and timber source, in traditional medicine, intercropping and agroforestry.
Cultivars
Canarium indicum has two recognised botanical varieties: indicum and platycerioideum. The latter is uncommon and grows in Indonesia and in West Papua New Guinea. It has larger leaves and fruits than the indicum variety. In Vanuatu, however, there are at least five cultivars known that differ in shape, size, fruit color at maturation and mesocarp color and texture.
Origin and regions of cultivation
Canarium is native in eastern Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. Besides Melanesia, it is also cultivated in Fiji, in the North of Australia, Taiwan, Hawaii, Honduras and Trinidad. Usually, it is found in rainforests, secondary forests, old garden areas, around villages and settlements and is also used as a shade tree, as a windbreak and in agroforestry.
Nuts have been important in the diet in Papua New Guinea for about 6,000 years. In 2007, approximately one third of the household grew Canarium. In the Solomon Islands, they are important in traditional society, with the ownership of trees being a measure of wealth.
Growth
Development and physiology
Canarium indicum is an evergreen, large tree with a fluted, buttressed trunk, heavy lateral branches and a dense canopy. Mature trees are usually tall but can grow up to in height. They naturally grow between 200 and 300 kg/m3 in density. Trunk diameter is between and can attain in canopy diameter.
Leaves are bright green imparipinnate with 3 to 7 jugate. They have an oblong-obovate to oblong-lanceolate leaflet of by . They are obtusely acuminate with sub-undulating and possess entire margin. Pseudostipules, however, are persistent, large, leafy, ovate and serrate-dentate with fringed margins.
Canarium flowers are small, around across, yellowish-white and arise in terminal panicles, with deciduous stipule and bract at the flower’s base. Moreover, flowers are perianth trimerous with pubescent outer surface and contain 6 joined stamens, free of the perianth. The ovary is superior and has three-loculed with one style. Canarium has large infructescence with up to 30 fruits borne on pendulous pedicels.
Its fruits are ovoid to elliptic-oblong. They measure by , generally have a green color and turn to deep dark, black or blue-black when they ripe.
The nut found in the shell is stony, hard and can be rounded or 3-6 sided in cross section.
Kernels are usually trigonous, 1 cm across, with brown testa.
The flowering period lasts only about 2 weeks and is followed by a long gestation of 6 to 9 months.
Life form
In Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, the Canarium is dioecious. In Vanuatu, trees may also grow either hermaphrodite flowers plus female flowers, or hermaphrodite flowers plus male flowers.
Cultivation
Soil requirements
Canarium prefers medium to heavy textured soils like loams, sandy clay loams, clays, clay loams and sandy clays of moderate to high soil fertility. Well-drained to slightly impeded drainage with good organic matter content are favored. A pH of 4.5-6.5 is favoured but it can tolerate pH levels up to 7.4. However, Canarium cannot grow on shallow, infertile or saline soils. Even if young trees need to be partially shaded, adult trees prefer full sun situations but also tolerate 20-70% shade.
Seedbed requirements and sowing
Seedlings should be planted into well prepared holes in which topsoil and organic matter is incorporated. The suggested spacing for nut-used trees is by . Best germination rates are achieved when seeds are depulped by removal of the mesocarp, planted soon after harvesting and placed deep in light soils (sand and peat or topsoil).
Climate requirements
Canarium is mainly found in wet lowland areas of subhumid to humid tropics. Mean annual temperatures of , mean maximum temperature of the hottest month of and mean minimum temperature of the coldest month of are preferred. Canarium can also grow in sub-tropical regions with temperatures from . However, it is sensitive to temperatures below and frost. Trees mainly grow from sea level to , but may be planted up . In the wild, it is found up to above sea level. Mean annual rainfall should be , with an optimum range , preferably with summer or uniform annual rainfall. Annual precipitations of can still be tolerated. A dry season with less than should only last 0–1 months. Canarium can thus survive short drought periods, but also strong winds and salt sprays.
Cultivation management & fertilization
Ground cover should be regularly slashed or mown to minimize competition with trees as seedlings best survive under intermediate light levels. New-plantations should therefore be regularly weeded. Trees might also be planted in secondary and primary forest that are progressively thinned to allow more light to reach the seedlings.
Fertilizer applications of 360 g urea (N), 150 g super phosphate (P) and 240 g muriate of potash (K) per tree per year is recommended for the first 10 years. After this, the rate per tree should be increased proportionally to the size of the tree and applied as several applications evenly distributed throughout the year.
Pests and diseases
Canarium appears not to be highly susceptible to damage by any particular pest or disease. Canarium cultivation has produced various cultivars with inherent pest and disease resistance, which could be used in breeding programs. The hard and non-perishable shell protects kernels from vermin and pathogens.
Yield
Fruit consists of an outer skin (exocarp), flesh (mesocarp), nut-in-shell, and edible kernel in testa.
Harvest and postharvest treatment
Traditionally, the harvesting of Canarium is of great social importance. Rights to harvest individual trees are traded within and amongst clans. Fruits can either be picked up from the ground or harvested directly from the trees. The fruiting season in Papua New Guinea lasts from May to July and in Vanuatu from October to January. In the Solomon Islands the production peak is between September and October. Nut picking can last for 2–4 months, thus the area under the tree is typically kept clean and fallen fruits can be easily collected. Harvesting from the tree by breaking off the fruiting branchlets has been found to be beneficial as it encourages renewed growth and flowering.
The processing of the seeds consists mainly in removing the shell and drying kernels directly on farm by smoking to allow a stable storage for months. Vacuum-packed Canarium nuts can be stored under ambient tropical conditions for six months with daytime temperatures of around , and for nine months at .
As the phenonolgy of Canarium is determined by the day length, the ones growing in lower latitudes flower and fruit earlier than those in the higher latitudes. Yield is estimated to be 4-7 t kernel-in-testa per hectare per year. In the Solomon Islands, nut yields were found to vary from 80 to 320 kg nut-in-shell per tree, with an average on a healthy tree of at least 100 kg nut-in-shell (15 kg kernel) per year. Total production of Canarium in western Melanesia with 2 million trees is estimated to be more than 100’000 t of nuts-in-shell (16’000 t of kernels-in-testa with 16% kernel content) per year.
Products
Products uses and processing technology
Many parts of the tree can be used. In Melanesia, except for Fiji, kernels are important in the local diet as fat and protein suppliers. Kernels are eaten raw, baked or roasted, used as a snack or added to other food, such as staple root crops, soups or even crushed and used as ice-cream toppings. Depending on the regions, they can also be used in different ways, like added to megapode eggs in the Solomon Islands or mixed with tuber puddings in Vanuatu. However, taste can vary from unpalatable bitter to a soft delicate coconut butter taste and is sensible to the processing technique.
Kernel oil is mainly used for cooking as a substitute to coconut oil or blended with other oils. It also serves as a medicinal product. It can be used in cosmetic and skin care products, in which anti-aging and anti-inflammatory agents of Canarium oil can stimulate tensin 1 expression and are thus effective against wrinkles and loss of skin firmness. In the past, the kernel oil was used as a lighter and to prevent and treat arthritis.
The testa can be added in animal feed.
The mesocarp (flesh) is used as a fertilizer.
Shells can be used as bedding for horticultural crops and for carving into jewellery. Furthermore, they can also be burned in kilns to produce clean, dense and high-grade charcoal fuel, which can be refined to “activated carbon” for pharmaceutical uses. In Papua New Guinea they are also used to make pipes for tobacco smoking.
The bark is used in the western Solomon Islands in traditional medicine against chest pain.
Timber is soft and can be used for light construction, canoes, boats, tools, crafts and sometimes as a veneer or as firewood. Moreover, if the wood is rotten, it can host edible insect larvae.
The resinous trunk extrudate is used in caulking of canoes.
Nutritive vale and special compounds
Table 1: Nutritive value of Canarium nut
Nutritive value of a raw Canarium per 100g edible portion (kernels without the hard shell) is 439 kcal/1.838 kJ energy. In terms of macronutrients, kernels contain between 67-80% oil, 13% protein and 7% starch and various others macronutrients and micronutrients, with a high nutritive value (Table 1). Fatty profile of kernel oil consists of almost equal proportion of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with about 50% saturated (34% palmitic and 13% stearic), 38% monounsaturated (oleic) and 14% polyunsaturated (linoleic) fat.
In a study led in various areas of Papua New Guinea, kernels’ antioxidant activity, in mg ascorbate equivalents, and phenolic content, in mg catechin equivalents, showed a strong positive relationship, as well as fat content versus energy and versus carbohydrate content. However, there was little variation in protein but large variation in vitamin E contents, especially in ꞵ-tocopherol. ɑ-, δ- and γ- tocopherols were also present in kernels but only in small amounts.
Canarium kernels seem to possess anti-inflammatory activity through inhibition properties of its oil on prostaglandin (PGE 2) production in 3T3 Swiss Albino fibroblast cells, which workes in the same ways as aspirin. However, the IgE specific to Canarium indicum can be found among pollen allergenic patients, which addresses the need for control of new foods before the introduction to a new market.
Breeding
Local varieties have been developed through selection of trees based on the kernel taste and size, oil content and thin pericarp. Since the 1970s, field surveys have been undertaken, for example to identify high yielding trees or to evaluate the potential for domestication. The various cultivars differing in shells and kernels morphology are an obstacle to breeding programs, productivity and profitability increase.
Commercialization
Commercial processing and marketing started in the Solomon Islands in 1989. Since the early 1990s, a number of projects aimed to increase the commercialization of Canarium indicum, with mixed success. The first commercial products of Canarium indicum in Papua New Guinea were launched in July 2018. This market-testing phase was a part of a project of the Australian Centre of International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). Products are available in local supermarkets and duty-free stores in Papua New Guinea in three variants: roasted, peeled or natural.

Joseph James Hargrave (1 April 1841 – 22 February 1894) was a Hudson's Bay Company fur trader, author, and journalist.
Biography
Joseph James Hargrave was born and raised at York Factory, a fur trading post on Hudson Bay. He was the oldest son of York Factory's Chief Trader James Hargrave and his wife Letitia MacTavish Hargrave. His family took him to Scotland in 1846, where he studied at Madras College, St. Andrews, and completed his studies as a surveyor in 1859.
Hudson's Bay Company
Hargrave returned to North America in 1861 and became an apprentice clerk for the HBC, and a secretary to his uncle William Mactavish—the governor of Rupert's Land and Assiniboia. In 1869, he began writing a series of articles for the Montreal Herald about the anticipated transfer of land from the HBC to Canada.
In 1871, his book Red River was published. It describes the history of the Red River Colony prior to the Red River Rebellion of Louis Riel.
Before his retirement, he became a chief trader in the HBC. He died in 1894, shortly after returning to Edinburgh. He is buried in Dean Cemetery in west Edinburgh. The grave lies in the south-east section.

The AAA World Tag Team Championship (Campeonato en Parejas AAA in Spanish) is the main tag team title contested for in the Mexican lucha libre promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). In 1993 AAA created the first version of the AAA World Tag team championship, technically the AAA/IWC (International Wrestling Council) World Tag Team titles. The belts used for the AAA/IWC titles were the old NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship belts. The original version was abandoned upon Art Barr's death in 1994. In 2007 AAA created a new World tag team title to replace the Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F. controlled Mexican National Tag Team Championship. The titles are listed here separately as they share names but not lineage.
