is a Japanese manga series by Kakeru Utsugi. It has been serialized online via Comico Japan since 2014. Futabasha has published seventeen tankōbon volumes since February 2016. An anime television series adaptation by Eight Bit aired from January 11 to March 29, 2018. Characters At the beginning of the series, Sora was sent Mii-kun, a tiny Egyptian mummy, by his father. While initially apprehensive due to previous bad experiences with his father's "gifts", Sora quickly warmed up to Mii-kun and watches over him, in doting parental fashion. He is an excellent cook, great at household chores and sewing, and great at taking care of people. He keeps a journal where he writes down his observations about Mii-kun. His family also keeps a dog named Pochi which is revealed in episode 10 to be a special dog that is fifty years old and can live to be hundreds of years old. Later, in the same episode, Sora's father sends him a talking Anubis sculpture named Aayan. Sora's close friend. Initially, he holds a great desire to "mess around" with Mii-kun. However, he quickly comes to realize that Mii is so cute, that he cannot bring himself to tease the tiny mummy. He still shows an occasional sadistic side to him and still shows an interest in knowing what is underneath Mii's bandage. He excels at studying and often helps Sora out. On his way from work, he finds an oni child which he initially throws away due to his fear of caring for him which resulted from a past trauma of being unable to save a dragon from a collector. Tazuki names the oni child Conny but doesn't truly adopt him into the family until episode 9. Above all, Tazuki is very protective of those he cares about, becoming incredibly frightening when his friends are threatened. Sora and Tazuki's classmate. A cheerful girl with a distinct fear of lizards. Asa's strength is one of her main character attributes, which is further increased when she is scared, evidenced by the destruction she causes when she finds that a dragon has found his way into her house. Sora helps her get over her fear of lizards and Asa eventually adopts the dragon, naming him Isao. Daichi is a student at Sora's school in class 5-3. Previously, he was seen as a delinquent, prone to violent outbursts; however, this was a result of chronic night terrors and lack of sleep. Sora helps Daichi out at school, which results in friendship and Sora giving Daichi a baku doodle to draw in the dream-eating creature. When fully rested, Daichi is very kind if a bit timid and jumpy, but he also takes responsibility instantly for the violence he had done in his sleep-deprived state. The baku that helps him stays, being adopted by Daichi, and is named Mukumuku. Sora's aunt and sister of Mokuren. She's usually working and tends to undergo a drastic personality change when wearing her glasses (specifically of the red rimmed variety) with her soft spoken, clumsy self replaced by an aggressive and assertive persona. The sarcophagus that Mii-kun arrived in was a present from her brother and used as her napping place. Some of her known careers include model, director, writer, and actress, all of which she is incredibly famous for (though few know her true looks due to her glasses at work). Sora's adventurer father who sends him odd things from overseas. Hence, Sora's initial distrust of Mii-kun as past gifts have included cursed dolls and scarecrows. He also sends a manual for how to care for the little mummy to his son. Tazuki's little sister. An outspoken if caring girl, she's familiar with Tazuki's interactions with the oni child, Conny, but has little patience with Conny taking her sweets.

Tsurara-onna (つらら女, "icicle woman") is a Japanese folktale about an icicle that became a woman, so it is often confused with yuki-onna. Summary A single man was looking at the icicles hanging under the eaves of his home and sighed saying "I'd like a wife as beautiful as these icicles," and just as he wished, a beautiful woman appeared who wanted to be his wife. This woman was an incarnation of an icicle, and there are variations on how this plays out. Tōhoku region, Aomori Prefecture, and Niigata Prefecture They are also called shigama-nyōbō or tsurara-nyōbō (氷柱女房). The woman and man became husband and wife, but for some reason the woman was reluctant to go in a bath. The man made the woman go into the bath, but the woman would not come out of the bath even after a while. Out of worry, the man peeked into the bathroom, but there was no sight of the woman, only fragments of ice floating in the bathtub. Akita Prefecture It has similarities to the above, but only the Akita version is not a story about a woman appearing to a man and wishing to marry. On a night of great snow, a woman came to visit the house of a couple, and requested to have lodging. The couple kindly granted this. Several days continued of snow that was too heavy for anyone to go outside, so the woman continued staying at that house. The couple tried to be considerate by warming the bath, but the woman did not want to go in at all. However, unable to completely refuse the couple's recommendation, the woman sorrowfully went into the bath. After that, the woman wouldn't come out of the bath even after a while. The couple was worried, and when they peeked into the bath, there was no sight of the woman, only a single icicle hanging from the roof. Other The woman who suddenly appeared married the man, but when spring came, the woman disappeared. The man felt sad thinking that the woman ran away from him, but within a year married another woman. Another winter came. The woman came to the man once again. The woman became so angry that the man married again, that the woman turned her appearance into that of an icicle and stabbed him to death. Similar folktales In many places, there are similar folktales about how a single man charmed by the beauty of icicles would have a woman suddenly appear wishing to be his wife who in the end was actually an icicle, and how those stories play out in the end differ. Yamagata Prefecture―"Suga-jorō" It was during a marriage ceremony. The woman went to the kitchen to warm some alcohol, but wouldn't return after a while. Unable to wait any longer, the man went to the kitchen but did not see a woman there, only a soaked kimono. The woman incarnation of an icicle was melted by the heat of the kitchen. Echigo Province (now Niigata Prefecture)―"Kanekori-jorō" The woman who suddenly appeared married the man, but when spring came, the woman disappeared. The man felt sad thinking that the woman ran away from him, but unable to bear the disadvantages of living alone, he married another woman. Another winter came. There was a large icicle hanging under the eaves. The man said it was an obstruction to movement, so he went to break off the icicle. The wife that was in the house heard the man's scream. Out of surprise, she went outside and found the man impaled to death through the neck by an icicle. Notes Yōkai
The Vostok traverse was a 3000 kilometre four-month trip across Antarctica undertaken by ANARE the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition in 1962. Using two bright red painted 1943 World War II M29 Weasel tracked vehicles and two 1950 D4 Caterpillar Inc. tractors the 6-man expedition left Wilkes Base on the coast for the Russian Vostok Station deep in the Antarctic interior. Much of the journey was over previously unexplored territory. The Weasels achieved 2 miles to the gallon and the tractors one mile per gallon, so a fuel dump was requested from the American McMurdo Station. Navigating across the featureless landscape was accomplished by a lead Weasel fitted with a Pioneer compass suspended in front of the vehicle on an aluminium frame. This was done to prevent the steel of the vehicle swamping the weak natural magnetic field close to the pole. The lead Weasel had two oblique mirrors, one in front of the driver facing upwards and the other positioned above the first and facing downwards and backwards. By keeping a bead on the following vehicles and the bamboo guide posts left at two and a half mile intervals, it was found the vehicles could keep a very straight path. When they arrived they found the Russians had evacuated the station 12 months beforehand in such haste that food had been left half cooked on the stove. The generators were started up and the snap-frozen steaks were finished and eaten by the team. The trip ranks as one of Australia's most historic traverses.

Holy Manna is the hymn tune originally written for "Brethren, We Have Met Together", which is one of the oldest published American folk hymns. Holy Manna is a pentatonic melody in Ionian mode. It was originally published by William Moore in Columbian Harmony, a four-note shape-note tunebook, in 1829, and is attributed to him. Like most shape-note songs from that century, it is usually written in three parts. The meter is 87.87D. Popularity In addition to being used in a significant number of early American hymnals, including Southern Harmony (#103) and Baptist Harmony (#1), Holy Manna appears in a large number of modern hymnals. It is also used as a common tune for other songs, especially "God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens", "All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly", and "I will Arise and Go to Jesus". References Hymn tunes
Raymond Couvègnes (; 1893–1985) was a French sculptor and medallist. Biography Raymond Couvègnes was born in Ermont on 27 February 1893 and died in Paris on 15 December 1985. His father was Emile Couvègnes, a director of the "Compagnie des chemin de fer du Nord" and a military historian. He showed an early talent for design and attended the École d'arts appliqués Bernard Palissy before enrolling at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. He studied under Injalbert and in 1927 won the Prix de Rome for sculpture. His early works involved sculptural work which arose in the reconstruction of churches and town halls in Northern France where so much damaged had been sustained in the 1914–1918 war. Examples of such work involved Montdidier town hall and churches in Roye, Arvillers, Moreuil, Le Bosquel and Athies. For the most part he worked using moulded concrete (béton moulé). In his next phase his works were executed in limestone or stone including in Paris a bust of Pierre Curie for the Palais de la Découverte, the statue of Claude Bernard in front of the collège de France and of Queen Astrid for Paris' Cité universitaire and the work "La Femme au bain" in the Parc de la Butte du Chapeau Rouge. Outside of Paris, Couvègnes worked on a bust and bas-relief of Raymond Poincaré in Bar-le-Duc, a bust of Franklin D. Roosevelt in Cesnay, a memorial to the efforts of the French resistance in Neuvic and in Amboise a monument dedicated to the liberators of France. To this we can add a striking decoration to Lille's "La voix du Nord" building, decoration to the old chamber of commerce in Poitiers and to the Boulogne-Billancourt Hôtel de Ville and outside France he created a bust of Mauritius' pioneer in cane sugar and a "Chemin de Croix" (Stations of the Cross) for a convent in Alexandria. He created escutcheons for factories in the Rhin and for educational establishments in Ermont, Boulogne, Franconville, Poitiers, St-Cyr, Coëtquidam and Sannois. Also between 1956 and 1973 he worked for EDF on sculptural decoration for their nuclear and hydroelectric power stations. He set up the École des Beaux-Arts de Boulogne-Billancourt where he lived and taught there for many years. Works Early works "Le Rémouleur" In 1920 Couvègnes submitted a design drawing for that year's Prix Bridan run by the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts and they hold a copy in their records. It appears he was awarded the second prize. This is perhaps the earliest insight into Couvègnes abilities. "Faune Borghèse" This design drawing by Couvègnes dates to 1921 and was his submission for that year's Prix Bridan. "La jeunesse et les Parques" With this composition Couvègnes won the 1925 Prix Doublemard. "Décision" This was Couvègnes' submission for the 1926 competition "Tête d'expression" organised each year by the Beaux-arts de Paris. "L'invention de la corne d'abondance" This bas-relief in plaster won Couvègnes the 1927 Prix de Rome for sculpture. It is held in the collection of the Ếcole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts who hold works of ex pupils. Works in churches Église paroissiale Saint-Jean-l'Evangéliste Couvègnes worked on the decoration to the altar and a tabernacle in this Cachan church. Eglise Saint-Vast In 1929, Couvegnes executed sculptural work for the Saint-Vast façade. The church is in Moreuil. The church had suffered damage in the 1914–1918 war, and the architects Charles Duval and Emmanuel Gonse were commissioned to restore the church. Reinforced cement was used in the reconstruction. Apart from Couvegnes' sculptures the church has paintings by Henri Marret, and mosaics by Jean Gaudin. André Rinuy and Jean Hébert-Stevens had executed the stained glass windows. These were destroyed in 1940 and replaced after the war. Le Bosquel Parish Church In June 1940, the village was almost totally destroyed during the German invasion. The church had to be completely rebuilt and includes works by Couvègnes. Arvillers Parish Church Another town ravaged by war in 1914–1918 where the church needed reconstruction and another instance of Charles Duval and Emmanuel Gonse carrying out the design and using reinforced concrete. The Église Saint-Martin was a 17th-century church. Couvègnes executed the new typanum over the church entrance. In 1929 the painter Henri Marret carried out a remarkable "Chemin de croix (Stations of the Cross). Athies Parish Church Athies' Église Notre Dame de l'Assomption dates to the 12th Century and was classified as a "monument historique" in 1862. The church was badly damaged in the 1914–1918 war although the 13th Century tympanum depicting the nativity and the flight to Egypt was saved. After the war Raymond Couvègnes took part in the restoration and was responsible for several statues and some decoration to the altar. The church has some remarkable stained glass and other glasswork by Jean Gaudin. Église Saint-Pierre de Roye Raymond Couvègnes was a pioneer in the use of moulded reinforced concrete ("béton moulé") and this medium was used for some of the church's decoration. Much of the area of Picardy was on the front line in the 1914–1918 war and, as a consequence, suffered from destruction from artillery and other fire. Roye was no exception and the Renaissance church of Saint-Pierre, classified as a "monument historique" in 1908, suffered considerable damage. The reconstruction of the Roye church was put in the hands of the Paris architects Charles Duval and Emmanuel Gonse and althoqugh they were able to restore the choir area to its original "flamboyant" style, much of the remainder of the building had to be completely rebuilt and, in the interests of economy, much use was made of reinforced concrete. This was very much in vogue and had been developed as a building material by the Perret brothers. Visitors to Amien will recall the Perret tower. In the attached photograph we can see the contrasting styles and the parts rebuilt in concrete. These two architects had used Raymond Couvègnes when rebuilding the Montdidier Hôtel de ville (town hall) and for the Roye church they commissioned him to execute several sculptural works in the church's interior. Église Saint-Louis de la cité Nouméa des mines de Drocourt Couvègnes completed two tympani for this church in Rouvroy. One of these is shown below. Other works Tête de jeune fille, Lycée Victor Hugo There had been a fountain in Poitiers lycée Victor- Hugo which featured this 1933 sculpture by Couvègnes which had been dismantled. In 2004 it was restored to the lycée. "Bergère" This composition dates to around 1954 and is to be seen in the Meymac Mairie. The Biermans Lapôtre Foundation building The Cité Universitaire of Paris is located near the Porte d'Orléans. The university comprises various buildings or halls of residence each built in the architectural style of various countries. Thus there is a Spanish house, an Italian house, etc.etc. The Biermans Lapôtre Foundation building represents Belgium and has both Flemish and Walloon features. There is also a statue of Queen Astrid in the main hall, this by Couvegnes. Frescoes representing Brussels, Antwerp, Liege and Namur are exhibited in the same room. "Le cep" This sculpture is to be seen in the Mairie of Rosny-sous-Bois, Lille. Bronze allegory for the Voix du Nord building As decoration for the Voix du Nord building in Lille Couvegnes produced a sculpture depicting allegories for Flanders, Hainaut and Artois. The original plaster work can be seen in Roubaix. Bust of Raymond Poincaré This bust can be seen in the Bar-le-Duc Mairie. Plaque in front of Boulogne-Billancourt Town Hall Couvegnes' "Boulogne-Billancourt, commune d'Europe" dates to 1955. It celebrates the early days of the European Union. Bas-relief of Raymond Poincaré This work by Couvègnes dates to 1950 and decorates the Lycée Raymond Poincaré in Bar-le-Duc. Poincaré was the French president from 1913 to 1920 and had been a student at the Bar-le-Lycée from 1867 to 1876. Bas-relief for building at 3 avenue Paul Monmoine in Matha in Charente-Maritime This Art Déco building was built in the 1930s for Lucien Durand and became the "Maison Familiale Rurale de Matha" in the 1950s. In 1936, Couvègnes created a bas-relief near the building's entrance which depicted two women kneeling in front a child who is learning to walk. Statue of Claude Bernard The Collège de France dates back to 1530 when it was founded as the "Collège Royal" and in front of the college is a statue of Claude Bernard. The original bronze by Eugène Guillaume had been requisitioned by the Germans in 1941 and melted down in order to reuse the metal, a not uncommon practice, and in 1946 a replacement in stone was executed by Couvègnes. "Femme au bain" At the prestigious 1937 Exposition internationale des arts et techniques dans la vie moderne, Couvègnes exhibited various sculptures under the title "Paris et les arts" including a composition entitled "Eve" or "Femme au bain", these for part of the exhibition called "Porte de Paris". Today this work can be seen in the " La Butte du Chapeau Rouge" in Paris Neuvic, monument aux Résistants de corrèze The "Monument du puy Chaffaud" in Neuvic is dedicated to the French Resistance and the effiorts of the Maqui. It depicts a member of the resistance emerging from a wood and armed with a grenade. It was inaugurated on the 18 September 1949. Neuvicakso has a museum dedicated to the Resistance. The monument also known as the "Monument commémoratif Résistants et Maquisards" is located in the Neuvic cemetery. Montdidier Hôtel de Ville The Paris architects Charles Duval and Emmanuel Gonse took charge of the reconstruction of the town hall in 1927; it had been almost totally destroyed in 1918. They rebuilt it in the original "Flemish" style but using bricks and concrete and much of the interior decoration was carried out in the "Art deco" style. The exterior of the building was decorated with Montdidier's motto "Urbs cultissima", the arms of the town and reproductions of the Légion d'Honneur and la Croix de Guerre. On the façade they commissioned Couvègnes to execute bas-reliefs depicting "les techniques", "les arts", "L'évolution du progrès" and the riches of the Santerre region whilst Maurice Pico was commissioned to execute some paintings. Couvègnes also executed a Marianne for the interior and sculpted the head of a child for the keystone (clé de voûte). For the bas-relief covering "les techniques" Couvègnes depicted various scientific instruments, for "L'évolution du progrès" he made references to iron and electricity whilst the Santerre was represented by a horn of plenty, a tipstaff and sheaf of wheat celebrating her rich agriculture.

Pyeonghwa Motors (Hangul : 평화자동차) (Hancha : 平和自動車), a Korean language word for "peace", also spelled Pyonghwa, is one of the two car manufacturers and dealers in the North Korean automotive industry, alongside Sungri Motor Plant. Until 2013, it was a joint venture in Nampo between Pyonghwa Motors of Seoul (South Korea), a company owned by Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, and the North Korean Ryonbong General Corp. The joint venture produced small cars under licence from Fiat and Brilliance China Auto, a pickup truck and an SUV using complete knock down kits from Chinese manufacturer Dandong Shuguang, and a luxury car of SsangYong design. From 2013, the company has been fully owned by the North Korean state. Pyeonghwa has the exclusive rights to car production, purchase, and sale of used cars in North Korea. However, most North Koreans are unable to afford a car. Because of the very small market for cars in the country, Pyeonghwa's output is reportedly very low. In 2003, only 314 cars were produced even though the factory had the facilities to produce up to 10,000 cars a year. Erik van Ingen Schenau, author of the book Automobiles Made in North Korea, has estimated the company's total production in 2005 at not more than around 400 units. History Pyeonghwa Motors was officially founded by the Unification Church. The venture came during the period of the Sunshine Policy between North and South Korea, when sanctions on the country were not as tough. The venture was announced in 2000. In 2002, around $55 million to build the factory, with the first production line in Nampo was completed and the first Hwiparam was produced The Premio and Pronto introduced in 2004. In 2009, PM earned about $700,000 from the sale of 650 cars, with $500,000 remitted to South Korea. Park Sang-Kwon, Pyeonghwa Motors president, started talks to end investment in 2012. The Unification Church officially transferred all investment to Pyongyang in 2013. Model list Hwiparam I, 2000, based on the Fiat Siena. Hwiparam II, 2007, based on the Brilliance Junjie/BS4/M2. Hwiparam III, 2010, based on the Brilliance FSV. Bbeokgugi (Peokkugi) 1, 2003, based on the Fiat Doblò. Known to keep the Fiat vehicle badge. Bbeokgugi (Peokkugi) 2, 2004, based on the Shuguang SUV 4x2. Bbeokgugi (Peokkugi) 3, 2004, based on the Shuguang Huanghai. Bbeokgugi (Peokkugi) 4, 2005, based on the Shuguang Dawn. Junma, 2005-2006, series production of the Junma, based on the SsangYong Chairman. Junma (Zunma 1606), 2013, based on the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar. Junma (Zunma 2008), 2013, based on the FAW-Volkswagen CC Samcheonri, 2005, based on the Jinbei Haise. Further models and partnerships In summer 2006, the North Korean government magazine Foreign Trade, which advertises North Korean products, published a photograph of a new luxury car produced by Pyeonghwa, the Junma, which appears to be a rebadged version of the South Korean SsangYong Chairman. The Chairman bears a strong resemblance to SsangYong cars, which are favored by North Korean government officials. The Junma is based on an old Mercedes E-Class design. In 2006, Pyeonghwa reached an agreement with Chinese manufacturer Brilliance China Auto to assemble its Jinbei Haise vans, which are based on an old version of the Toyota HiAce. In 2007, Pyeonghwa introduced Brilliance's Junjie car under the name Hwiparam II. The original Fiat-based Hwiparam has appeared on Pyeonghwa's web site. In 2009, Pyeonghwa announced a profit on its North Korean operations. The Premio and Pronto are also sold in Vietnam by Mekong Auto. Both are based on Huanghai vehicles. Mekong Auto has sold Fiat cars in Vietnam since 1995, and this relationship may have led to Pyeonghwa assembling Fiats in North Korea. Advertising Pyeonghwa is currently the only company in North Korea to advertise. A series of billboards and TV commercials have been made in an effort to show residents that their country is able to produce products such as motor vehicles. The ads may be aimed primarily at expatriate businessmen in Pyongyang, but Car and Driver magazine suggests that they are actually propaganda aimed at the local population, to make them believe that their country is economically successful.

He is a member of the Democratic Party. Early life and education Foster was born in 1955 in Madison, Wisconsin. As a teenager, he attended James Madison Memorial High School. He received his bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1976 and his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University in 1983. The title of his doctoral dissertation is "An experimental limit on proton decay: ." Physics career After completing his Ph.D., Foster moved to the Fox Valley with his family to pursue a career in high-energy (particle) physics at Fermilab, a Department of Energy National Laboratory. During his 22 years at Fermilab, he participated in several projects, including the design of equipment and data analysis software for the CDF Detector, which were used in the discovery of the top quark, and the management of the design and construction of a 3 km Anti-Proton Recycler Ring for the Main Injector. In 1998, Foster was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society. He was a member of the team that received the 1989 Bruno Rossi Prize for cosmic ray physics for the discovery of the neutrino burst from the supernova SN 1987A. He also received the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Particle Accelerator Technology Prize and was awarded an Energy Conservation award from the United States Department of Energy for his application of permanent magnets for Fermilab's accelerators.

During a debate with his opponent in the 2012 election, Foster said, "The tax cuts were promised to generate job growth, but did not. If you follow the money, when you give a dollar to a very wealthy person, they won't typically put it back into the local economy." He said the tax benefits ended up in overseas accounts and spent on luxury purchases. Foster has opposed efforts to repeal the estate tax. On August 31, 2005, U.S. Newswire reported that Foster said, "The proponents of estate tax repeal are fond of calling it the 'death tax'. It's not a death tax, it's a Rich Kids' tax." In 2009, just before the estate tax was scheduled for a one-year repeal, Foster voted to permanently extend the then current estate tax rate of 45%. Card check According to the official Thomas website, Foster co-sponsored the Employee Free Choice Act of 2009, which would enable unionization of small businesses of less than 50 employees. On February 25, 2012, the Daily Herald reported, "Foster pointed to his support for the Employee Free Choice Act while serving at the congressman in the 14th District as proof of his union support." Stimulus spending Foster voted for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Health care reform Foster voted for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). On June 29, 2012, the Chicago Tribune reported that Foster said of his vote for Obamacare, "I'm proud of my vote, and I would be proud to do it again." Dodd-Frank He also voted for the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, with all ten of the amendments he proposed being added to the final bill. Environment He voted against the American Clean Energy and Security Act, which would create a Cap and trade system. Second Amendment Asked if the Second Amendment should be up for reinterpretation, Foster said, "It always has been up for reinterpretation. The technology changes, and the weapons thought to be too dangerous to be in private hands change. A Civil War cannon is frankly much less dangerous than weapons we are allowed to carry on the streets in many of the states and cities in our country today. This is something where technology changes and public attitude changes and both are important in each of the generations." Israel Foster voted to provide Israel with support following 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. Electoral history Personal life Foster and his wife, Aesook Byon, live in Naperville, Illinois. He has two adult children from his first marriage. Foster is among the few U.S. representatives not to identify with any religion.

This is a list of LGBT and LGBT-friendly fraternities and sororities. LGBT fraternities and sororities have existed since the 1980s, with Delta Phi Upsilon being established in 1985 and Delta Lambda Phi in 1986. These groups are intended to provide members with access to Greek life without fear of homophobic reprisal or behavior by fellow members, resulting from a history of homophobia within longer-established organizations. In addition to groups established for LBGT members, in the 21st century, many Greek letter organizations have become LGBT-friendly by adopting diversity and inclusivity statements. In addition, some single-sex or co-educational fraternities and sororities have become gender-inclusive. LGBT sororities and women's fraternities Following are LGBT-specific sororities and women's fraternities. LGBT fraternities Following are LGBT-specific fraternities. Organizations for all genders The following Greek letter organizations are gender-inclusive, meaning they accept males, females, trans, non-binary, etc. into their membership. This list does not include organizations that self-define as co-educational; although such groups may well be gender-inclusive in practice, they have yet to modify their policies and language to be inclusive at the institutional level. LBGTQ-inclusive Greek letter organizations The following fraternities and sororities have adopted LGBTQ-inclusive policies at the national or institutional level. These policies are openly shared and are specific, rather than general non-discrimination statements.

The European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) is a non-profit scientific international organization with headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Its mission is to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of infection-related diseases by promoting and supporting research, education, training, and good medical practice. An important activity of the society is the organization of the annual scientific congress ECCMID (European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases). This is recognized as the largest international forum for disseminating research in the fields of medical microbiology and infectious diseases for experts in academia, clinical settings and industry. The congress began as a biennial event, with about 1,500 participants at its inaugural occurrence in 1983. It became an annual event in the year 2000, and it has grown since then, now attracting around 14,000 participants annually. More than 5,000 scientific abstracts are submitted for inclusion each year by researchers from multiple countries. The most recent ECCMID was held in April 2023 in a hybrid format, both online and onsite in Copenhagen, Denmark. History The society was founded as ESCM (European Society of Clinical Microbiology) at the end of 1982 by the founding fathers Jacques Acar, Tom Bergan, Ilja Braveny, Arne Forsgren, Evelio J. Perea, Jan Verhoef, Arturo Visconti, David Williams, Eugène Yourassowsky and Ottokar Zak, with Verhoef elected as the first president of the society (from 1983 to 1990). In 1990, infectious diseases experts were included in the society, with the name transitioning from ESCM to ESCMID (European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases), as well as a change in the name of the society’s congress from ECCM (European Congress of Clinical Microbiology) to ECCMID (European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases). At this time, subject-specific study groups were also created, and in 1995, the society’s journal Clinical Microbiology and Infection was launched. From the year 2000, ECCMID became an annual event. During the early 2000s, the activities of EUCAST (European Committee for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) began and ESCMID was represented as scientific advisor for the newly established European Centre for Diseases Control (ECDC). From the years 2007-2012, the international observership program, and parity commission were established. In the late 2010s, EUCIC (European Committee on Infection Control) was established, and the society’s membership exceeded 8,000 people. ESCMID currently counts professionals from 133 countries across the world among its members. Structure ESCMID is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. The main governance organ is the Executive Committee (EC), which is elected by ESCMID members, and which is further divided into several subcommittees with specific functions (professional affairs, education, scientific affairs, ECCMID programme, publication, international affairs, ethics advisory, guidelines ). The Assembly of Members takes place at the annual ECCMID, which serves as a forum for discussion and resolution of professional matters of common interest. The EC elects a president for a two-year term. The current President is Prof. Maurizio Sanguinetti of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome, Italy. The President-elect and Secretary General is Prof. Annelies Zinkernagel of the Universitätsspital Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland. Activities Research and education ESCMID drives scientific knowledge forward by bringing together professionals in the fields of clinical microbiology and infectious diseases and by supporting the generation and distribution of scientific information through conferences, research projects, medical guidelines, postgraduate courses, workshops, summer school, EUCAST and EUCIC certification. Scientific conferences cover a range of current topics from basic science to clinical practice. ESCMID provides funding and administrative support for research projects, as well as it is a partner in EU-funded research programs. Education is carried out through courses/workshops of two- to four-day duration focusing on specific clinical or laboratory issues, as well as an annual one-week summer school that covers a broad range of topics in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases. Guidelines ESCMID also promotes the development and dissemination of clinical and laboratory practice guidelines according to the principles of evidence-based medicine, to harmonize European diagnostic, therapeutic and infection control procedures. Main operational procedures for guidelines development are reported in the ESCMID manual for clinical practice guidelines and other guidance documents. Examples of recently published documents focused on drug treatment and clinical management of COVID 19, Lyme diseases, Sepsis, Clostridioides difficile infection. ESCMID Study Groups ESCMID study groups are special interest groups consisting of society members, involved in the study of specific areas of clinical microbiology and infectious diseases. The study groups are involved in proposing scientific symposia, educational workshops and meet-the-expert sessions for ECCMID, proposing educational courses/workshops, and publishing scientific articles in ESCMID’s name. During COVID-19 pandemic, several study groups began producing virtual content, such as web-symposia series or online conferences. ECCMID (European congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases) ECCMID is recognized as the largest international forum for presentations and discussions of research in the fields of clinical microbiology and infection for experts from academia, the clinical setting and the industry. The first European Congress of Clinical Microbiology (ECCM) was organized in 1983 in Bologna, Italy. After the Society’s inclusion of infectious diseases in the late 80s, the first ECCMID was held in 1991 in Oslo, Norway. Initially a biannual congress, in the year 2000, ECCMID became an annual event. Since its initiation with around 1,500 participants, ECCMID has grown, and now attracts around 14,000 participants every year. The number of submitted abstracts has risen to over 5,000, of which roughly 70% are accepted for oral or poster presentation. A large pharmaceutical exhibition sites alongside a broad-based program in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases. Awards and Grants ESCMID supports young clinicians and researchers as well as established scholars with awards and grants to acknowledge past achievements and provide an incentive for future accomplishments. ESCMID supports its members’ research projects and training with around seven hundred thousand euros every year. List of available awards and grants: • CAREer Grant • Award for Excellence in Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases • Young Investigator Award for Research in Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases • The TAE Outstanding Trainee Award • Research Grants • Study Group Research Grants • ECCMID Travel Grant • ECCMID Program Book Grants • The ISF/ESCMID Sepsis Award • Attendance Grants for Educational and Scientific Meetings • ISID/ESCMID joint fellowships Clinical Microbiology and Infection Clinical Microbiology and Infection (CMI) is the official peer-reviewed ESCMID publication, which publishes monthly issues and additional supplements devoted to special themes. The scope of the journal comprises basic and applied research relevant to therapy and diagnostics in the fields of microbiology, infectious diseases, virology, parasitology, immunology and epidemiology as related to these fields. The Editor-in-Chief is Dr. Leonard Leibovici from Tel Aviv University, Israel. The 2020 impact factor is 8.067 with around 4,000 manuscripts submitted to the journal. Other publications The Manual of Clinical Microbiology is a hard-copy publication jointly produced by ESCMID and Société Française de Microbiologie (SFM), covering general clinical microbiology, diagnosis, specific microorganisms, epidemiology and infection control. The ESCMID Yearbook is published and presented each spring at ECCMID. This publication gives a comprehensive overview of the society’s activities over the previous year. ESCMID also publish white papers on generic competencies in antimicrobial prescribing and stewardship, through a structured Europe-wide consensus procedure. The electronic weekly newsletter includes timely information of interest to clinical microbiology and infectious diseases professionals. Professional Affairs ESCMID supports the career development of members by creating a platform for them to connect with experienced professionals in their field. An important activity is the Observership program, which allows infectious diseases specialists and clinical microbiologists to visit renown centres outside their country. The Mentorship program is accessible to ESCMID full members and young scientist members, who can receive guidance for research and career development from a senior ESCMID member. The ESCMID Parity Commission was founded to review and improve representation of minorities as well as gender and geographical balance in the society’s fields of expertise. The Trainee Association of ESCMID (TAE) aims at widening career opportunities for young scientists at the beginning of their career. Among other professional affairs activities are the cooperation with other organizations in clinical microbiology and infectious diseases; Collaboration with relevant sections of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS); Professional policy issues in the fields of CM and ID; Matters relating to professional training, mobility and recruitment; Equal opportunities; Trainees’ issues. Cooperative Initiatives ESCMID maintains cooperative partnerships with many professional societies and organizations. The Society also participates in scientific projects and networks, takes a leadership role in the consultation process with European health authorities, and cooperates with industry representatives in the areas of research and development, science communication, awards, grants and fellowships. Especially important are cooperative initiatives with societies, both in Europe and abroad, that share a similar mission with ESCMID. ESCMID’s standing committees: EUCAST and EUCIC ESCMID also promotes the development of international research and policy initiatives. Among them, EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) is a professional standing committee tasked to set breakpoints for new antibacterial and antifungal agents, as well as revising existing ones, on behalf of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) [12]. In 2014, EUCIC (European Committee for Infection Control) was formed with the goal to harmonize infection control and preventive measures to reduce morbidity and mortality due to hospital-acquired infections. ESCMID Emerging Infections Task Force Emerging Infection Task Force (EITaF) was established in March 2017 with the aim of creating a platform to raise awareness on emerging infectious diseases. EITaF provides up to date information on outbreaks with epidemic or pandemic potential and establishes panel of experts to evaluate emerging infections threat and pathogens’ diagnostic challenges. Moreover, EITaF promotes research and education on emerging infections in collaboration with ESCMID Study Groups and Executive Committee. COVID-19 Activities In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, ESCMID organised a series of group teleconferences with representatives from infectious disease and clinical microbiology societies to discuss about diagnosis, treatment and public health measurements. In September 2020, these activities culminated in ESCMID first-ever fully virtual conference, the ESCMID Conference on Coronavirus Disease (ECCVID). ESCMID Study Groups also produced guidance documents on various topics related to COVID-19, as well as several COVID-19 related articles published in the CMI journal.

No Room at the Inn is a 1945 play by Joan Temple that became a 1948 film directed by Daniel Birt. Both play and film are presented in flashback mode and share the same subject matter – cruelty, neglect and mental and physical abuse meted out to evacuee children during World War II. Temple's attack on those who turn a blind eye to child abuse, be they public officials or private individuals, was considered frank and uncompromising in its time. Plot As part of the mass evacuation of children in the early months of World War II, teenage Mary O'Rane is billeted with Mrs Agatha ('Aggie') Voray in an unthreatened area in the north of England. Mary soon discovers that, behind her respectable front, Mrs Voray forces her evacuee charges (five in all) to live in squalor and semi-starvation while spending the money intended for their upkeep on alcohol and personal fripperies. Yet when Mary is visited by her father, Mrs Voray easily convinces him that Mary's allegations are groundless; to Mary's horror, he ends his visit by accompanying Mrs Voray on a pub crawl. Mary's young schoolteacher, Judith Drave, takes her concerns about the children's welfare to the local authorities but is ignored. Mary, meanwhile, is coaxed into petty crime by her fellow evacuee Norma. Matters come to a head when Mrs Voray goes out for the evening and returns to find that her new hat has been damaged. In an alcohol-fuelled fury, she locks little Ronnie in the coal cellar for the night. In the small hours, Mary and Norma sneak out of bed to release him, leading, in an unexpected turn of events, to Mrs Voray's accidental death. Play Temple's original title was Weep for Tomorrow, but this was changed before the play went into production. In her stage directions, Temple offered the following description of the central figure, Mrs Voray: "She is about 40, and her black hair, lately 'permed', hangs in curls about her shoulders, making her look rather older than she wishes to appear. Her face is clumsily made-up. She is fond of glassy-looking satin blouses in crude colours ... A cigarette hangs from her lips." Directed by Anthony Hawtrey, No Room at the Inn opened at the Embassy Theatre in Swiss Cottage, north London on 10 July 1945, with Freda Jackson, Ursula Howells, Joan Dowling and Ruth Dunning heading a cast of 14. The stage set for the production represented "the living-room of a small house in a 'safe' area" and was created by the Embassy's resident designer Henry Bird, who was also Jackson's husband. After a provincial tour, Hawtrey's production arrived at the Winter Garden Theatre in Drury Lane, London on 3 May 1946. Presented by impresario Jack Hylton and advertised as 'A New Sensational Drama', the play's run in the West End lasted for 427 performances, closing on 24 May the following year, then touring again. "I consider Miss Joan Temple's timely and full-blooded drama of what can happen to child evacuees in war-time," noted Hawtrey in his introduction to the published text, "to be one of the most perfectly constructed plays of recent years, as well as being a most exciting play to produce, and one with enormous scope for a producer." Newspaper adaptation In November 1946 the Daily Express devoted space in the paper for a week to a specially prepared version of the play. It explained that it had taken the decision:"because the terrible and cruel conditions under which Britain's orphan children are still living has not been brought home adequately either to officialdom or to the public at large." Film The film version was made by British National Films at the National Studios, Elstree. Vernon Sewell was going to direct at one stage. The screenplay by producer Ivan Foxwell and poet Dylan Thomas made various changes to Temple's play - opening it out to include Mrs Voray's encounters with local tradesmen, the Town Council and, finally, a monied spiv; conflating the extremely similar characters of Kate Grant and Judith Drave into one (Judith); changing the surname of Joan Dowling's character and having her recount a cockney version of the Cinderella story, and radically altering the nature of Mrs Voray's demise. The screenplay subsequently formed the basis of a novelisation by Warwick Mannon (pseudonym of the poet and literary critic Kenneth Hopkins), published by World Film Publications to coincide with the film's release in 1948. Release Opening in London on 25 October, with general release following on 22 November, the film was described in the trade paper To-Day's Cinema as "a brutal citation of sordidness and cruelty which has no parallel on British screens." Another reviewer, Virginia Graham in The Spectator, pointed out that "Miss Joan Temple's tormenting play about war-time evacuee children billeted on a drunken slut has been turned into an equally tormenting film. No Room at the Inn gives Miss Freda Jackson ample scope to be as savagely nasty as she pleases, and I must say she is alarmingly successful. Miss [Hermione] Baddeley blowsily supports her, and Miss Joan Dowling is admirable as a pert, blackmailing adolescent." Trade papers called the film a "notable box office attraction" in British cinemas in 1948.

Manganese germanide (MnGe) is an intermetallic compound, a germanide of manganese. Its crystals have a cubic symmetry with no inversion center, they are therefore helical, with right-hand and left-handed chiralities. Magnetism At low temperatures, MnGe and its relative MnSi exhibit unusual spatial arrangements of electron spin, which were named magnetic skyrmion, tetrahedral and cubic hedgehog lattices. Their structure can be controlled not only by the Si/Ge ratio, but also by temperature and magnetic field. This property has potential application in ultrahigh-density magnetic storage devices. Synthesis MnGe crystals can be produced by processing a mixture of Mn and Ge powders at a pressure of 4–5 GPa and a temperature of 600–1000 °C for 1–3 hours. They are metastable and decompose into Mn11Ge8 and Ge upon subsequent heating to 600 °C at ambient pressure. Structure Manganese germanide is a non-stoichiometric compound where the Ge:Mn ratio often deviates from 1. The Mn3Ge5 compound is a Nowotny phase exhibiting a chimney ladder structure. It is either a semimetal or a narrow-gap semiconductor. References Manganese compounds Germanides Iron monosilicide structure type

Pesochnitsa is a village in Berkovitsa Municipality, Montana Province, north-western Bulgaria. Geography Pesochnica is located between hills on the banks of a creek called the Pescaitsa. The summers are cool and tranquil, the winters are generally mild. The hills to the south, east and west are covered with different types of hardwood. History Pesochnica has existed since at least the time of the Ottoman Empire invasion and occupation of Bulgaria in the late fourteenth century, and there is some evidence that its existence dates to the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185 to 1396). Turkish tax documents from the end of the fifteenth century indicate that the inhabitants of Pesochnica had been paying taxes at that time. References Villages in Montana Province
The Lyceum Theatre was a theatre in New York City located on Fourth Avenue (now Park Avenue South) between 23rd and 24th Streets in Manhattan. It was built in 1885 and operated until 1902, when it was torn down to make way for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower. It was replaced by a new Lyceum Theatre on 45th Street. For all but its first two seasons, the theatre was home to Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre Stock Company, which presented many important plays and actors of the day. Building The three-story building's auditorium was deep by wide, with a seating capacity of 727: boxes 88, parquet 344, dress circle 172, and balcony 123. Thomas Edison is reported to have personally worked on making it the first theatre lit entirely by electricity (not the first to use electric lights), and Louis Comfort Tiffany designed aspects of the interior. Not all new technologies lasted: for the first season the orchestra rode an "automatic elevator car" into the fly gallery to play in a gallery over the proscenium during performances, but the car was removed in the theatre's second year. Ticket prices initially ranged from $1 to $2.50. Origins Actor, playwright and theatre technology innovator Steele Mackaye and producer Gustave Frohman built the theatre as the base for the Lyceum School of Acting, to be run by them and Franklin H. Sargent. The school quickly became the New York School of Acting and then, by 1888, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA). Sargent soon left and after six months Mackaye and Frohman were forced to sell their interests to benefit Tiffany and other creditors. Actress Helen Dauvray then became manager, making her one of the first woman theatrical executives in the U.S. Gustave's brother, the impresario Daniel Frohman, took over at the beginning of the theatre's third season and stayed until it was demolished in 1902, when he established the Lyceum Theatre on 45th St. Lyceum Theatre Stock Company Daniel Frohman ran the Lyceum Theatre Company, a stock company with a more or less constant troupe of actors performing several different plays each season. Frohman sought to introduce as many new, “modern plays” as possible. The plays reflected both the older melodrama style and the newer naturalistic or realistic style, common to the last decades before the motion picture era. The Lyceum Company also sent productions on the road with full complements of actors, sets, musicians, crew, and publicists. (Prior to this, lead actors tended to tour alone and work with local actors and musicians, with results of varying artistic quality.) From 1886 until 1890, David Belasco worked for the Lyceum Company as stage manager (in today's terms, director or artistic director), co-wrote three of the company's productions with Henry Churchill de Mille, and taught at the acting school. In January 1899, three years before the old Lyceum shut down, Daniel Frohman moved the Lyceum Theatre Company to Daly's Theatre. He and his brother Charles Frohman continued to produce plays at the Lyceum after the stock company moved. Actors Lyceum productions featured top American and English actors. Many later appeared in silent films. W.C. Bellows William Courtleigh Rowland Buckstone Georgia Cayvan Helen Dauvray James K. Hackett Virginia Harned Isabel Irving Herbert Kelcey W.J.

WJMJ (88.9 FM) is a non-profit, non-commercial, radio station licensed to Hartford, Connecticut. It is owned by St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, Connecticut, which in turn is owned by the Archdiocese of Hartford. The transmitter tower is atop Johnnycake Mountain in Burlington, Connecticut. The station has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 2,300 watts. For its programming to be heard in other parts of Connecticut, WJMJ has FM translators on 107.1 in New Haven and on 93.1 in Hamden. It is also heard on a digital subchannel of 91.1 WSHU-FM-HD3 in Fairfield, Connecticut. In addition, WJMJ streams online. The "JMJ" in the call sign stands for Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The daytime programming consists of "music you can't hear anywhere else", including soft adult contemporary and soft oldies, hosted by local disc jockeys. Nighttime and Sunday specialty programs feature classical music, adult standards and Roman Catholic talk and teaching shows. History In the 1970s, Archbishop John F. Whealon decided to start a radio station as a way to bring the Gospel to a wider audience through a format of inspiring messages and pleasant music. WJMJ says it is the first archdiocesan-operated radio station in the United States, signing on the air on December 24, 1976. The WJMJ radio studios were originally in Glastonbury, Connecticut. They moved to Bloomfield in the early 1980s. A fire tower originally stood where the WJMJ radio tower is located. In 2009, the WJMJ studios were moved to Prospect, Connecticut, which also houses the Office of Radio and Television of the Archdiocese of Hartford. In 2018, WJMJ began broadcasting from a new tower at in height above average terrain (HAAT). That gives the station a signal covering most of Central Connecticut and reaching part of Western Massachusetts. "Festival of Faith", the 14-hour block of radio shows on Sunday which included recorded worship services and talk shows produced by an assortment of area Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches was discontinued in May 2008. On Sunday, June 1, 2008, WJMJ began airing local Catholic programming, as well as material from the EWTN network. WJMJ also carries live Metropolitan Opera broadcasts on Saturday afternoons. After many years of broadcasting in monaural, FM stereo broadcasts began in January 2009.

Weekend Marketplace is a two-hour block of paid programming airing on Fox that debuted on January 3, 2009, replacing the 4Kids TV cartoon block due to the termination of the network's time lease agreement with 4Kids Entertainment. The block, which airs on Saturday mornings, is programmed solely with infomercials, which usually air on networks and broadcast television stations during late night and early morning timeslots; such programming, however, has not previously been scheduled on a regular basis by a major broadcast television network. Beginning on September 13, 2014 in some markets, Weekend Marketplace can be substituted with the internally syndicated Xploration Station block produced by Steve Rotfeld Productions, which provides two hours of educational and informational programming for stations to count toward federally mandated programming requirements; Fox's owned-and-operated stations and Nexstar Media Group, along with several other affiliate groups and individual stations are currently carrying this block instead. Fox continues to offer Weekend Marketplace to stations which chose to purchase E/I programming off the open syndication market. Notably the Fox stations (and one CW station) of Sinclair Broadcast Group were under the latter arrangement until fall 2016, when Sinclair also began to carry Xploration Station, and one station within the Gray Television's portfolio (Fox affiliate WFLX). At least one Sinclair station (WUTV in Buffalo, New York) carries both, carrying Weekend Marketplace on Saturday mornings while splitting the Xploration Station block up and airing it as a weekday strip instead of as a block. Overview Branding and title issues Despite being carried by Fox, the block contains no network branding or in-house promotional advertising, as it consists of infomercials with no commercial breaks. The title "Weekend Marketplace" is not referenced within the block, and is used mainly as a placeholder title within television listings and industry media; most stations that carry the block list it as four separate segments of "paid programming" so that viewers are not misled about its content. In addition, Fox stated that it ultimately intended to have the block contain programs that resemble normal programming (albeit still prominently advertising a product), though this never occurred. Presently the block consists of four traditional 28½-minute infomercials, with short-form direct response commercials airing at the end of each half-hour; no local station breaks are shown beyond a five-second station identification slot (to fulfill Federal Communications Commission rules) at the top of the first hour. Scheduling The block normally airs from 10:00 a.m. to Noon Eastern and Pacific Time, the second half of the timeslot previously used for 4Kids TV, the remaining two-hour time period occupied by the first half of the predecessor block was returned to the network's affiliates, for use to air syndicated, locally produced lifestyle brokered programming, or local weekend morning newscasts. Since 2013, when Fox began to carry Fox College Football on Saturday mornings (and its coverage has expanded from that point until late night), the block's scheduling has become more erratic as local stations have begun to carry their own pre-game show programming before the games (and game coverage west of the Central Time Zone), along with occasional late morning-early afternoon coverage of Fox College Hoops. In 2019, an 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT pre-game show, Big Noon Kickoff, began to air on Fox, effectively pre-empting Weekend Marketplace from August until the end of November, as the infomercials are not required to be made up elsewhere on the schedule by those affiliates carrying it due to the priority of scheduling E/I programming elsewhere on the weekends. BNK was expanded to two hours in 2020, now airing from 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT. Affiliate reach Currently due to the Xploration Station transition and Fox's O&Os and affiliates owned and/or operated by groups such as Tribune ceasing to carry Weekend Marketplace, the block's reach is unknown; however it previously aired until the 2014-15 season on 95% of Fox's stations, both owned-and-operated stations and affiliates. Most, if not all, of the stations that declined to carry 4Kids TV – such as Miami affiliate WSVN and Detroit owned-and-operated station WJBK – have similarly declined Weekend Marketplace (two of the exceptions are Cleveland affiliate WJW and O&O KTBC in Austin, which aired the infomercial block after having declined the network's children's block under its Fox Kids, Fox Box and 4Kids TV iterations for many years). However, it does not appear that all of the non-Fox stations that picked up 4Kids TV in such markets have continued with the infomercial block (Detroit independent station WMYD airs the block, however CW affiliate KASW in Phoenix, and independent stations WBFS-TV in Miami, WMLW-TV in Milwaukee and WBNX-TV in Cleveland – in that case, tracing back to its pre-2013 existence as a low-power station – declined to carry it). It is unclear whether or not, since the infomercial buyers pay the network for national network reach on Weekend Marketplace, the Fox affiliates that refuse to carry the block have to compensate Fox and/or the infomercial buyers for the lack of broadcast coverage in that market. Sinclair-operated/Deerfield Media-owned KMYS in San Antonio, which switched from MyNetworkTV to The CW in September 2010, continues to carry the block in lieu of Fox-affiliated sister station KABB and instead airs The CW's brokered E/I block, One Magnificent Morning (programmed by Litton Entertainment), during overnight periods inaccessible to most children. Likewise, One Magnificent Morning's predecessor, Vortexx (programmed by Saban Brands, which acquired most of 4Kids's program library in 2012), was programmed in the same fashion prior to its discontinuance by The CW in September 2014 (KMYS already carries three hours of E/I programming purchased from syndication, allowing it to meet the regulations). In both instances, this is likely because the station was unable to revoke the deal to carry Weekend Marketplace. In October 2021, KMYS's main-channel schedule moved to sister station WOAI-TV as a subchannel as part of Sinclair consolidating affiliations on directly-owned stations, with KMYS-DT1 becoming an automated affiliate of Dabl. It continues to air in the same scheduling on WOAI-DT2.

The Lincoln Hunters is a 1958 science fiction novel by American writer Wilson Tucker. Plot The novel, set in the year 2578, details the story of a historian from the oppressive society of that year, who travels back in time to record Abraham Lincoln's Lost Speech of May 19, 1856, in Bloomington, Illinois. It contains a vivid description of Lincoln in the early stages of his career, seen through the eyes of a future American who feels that Lincoln and his time compare very favorably with the traveler's own. Legacy The book is mentioned in 11/22/63, a novel by Stephen King that also centers around time travel and an assassinated president. Furthermore, King's protagonist time travels to 1958—the year "Hunters" was published—to alter the timeline by 1963.

The Sopwith Bat Boats were British flying boats designed and built from 1912 to 1914. A single-engined pusher biplane, the Bat Boat was the first successful flying boat and amphibious aircraft built in the United Kingdom, with examples used by the Royal Navy and by Greece and Germany. Development and design In summer 1912, the British pioneer aviator Thomas Sopwith, also a keen yachtsman and power-boat racer, started design of a flying boat, to be called the "Bat Boat" after a flying machine in Rudyard Kipling's short story With the Night Mail, to combine his interests in aviation and the sea. The resultant design was a biplane, powered by a Gnome rotary engine in a tractor configuration. The hull, which was made of Consuta, (i.e. plywood sheeting sewn in place with copper wire) was built by S. E. Saunders, the shipbuilders based at Cowes on the Isle of Wight who were experienced in the construction of power-boats, while the wings, of about 30 ft (9.15 m) span, were built at Sopwith's flying school at Brooklands. Although the aircraft was approaching completion by August 1912, it was abandoned and was never flown. Sopwith then produced a completely new design of flying boat, still called "Bat-boat", this time a pusher configuration two-bay biplane powered by a 90 hp (67 kW) Austro-Daimler engine. The hull, which was again built by Saunders of Consuta, accommodated two people side by side in an open cockpit in line with the leading edge of the wings, and had a curved, vee-profile planing bottom. The wings, of 41 ft (12.5 m) span, were unstaggered, with lateral control by wing warping. The tail, which had no fixed fin, was carried on tailbooms connected to the wings, while an additional forward elevator was fitted to the front of the hull to supplement the normal elevator fitted to the tail. The new Bat-boat was assembled at Sopwith's new factory at Kingston upon Thames early in 1913, and was displayed at the International Aero Show at Olympia, London in February that year. The Bat-Boat was sent from Olympia to Cowes for tests in March, with both Thomas Sopwith and Harry Hawker attempting, with little success, to get the Bat Boat airborne. The Bat Boat was wrecked by a storm. A second Bat Boat soon followed, omitting the forward elevator, while a third aircraft was built using components of the first prototype, but with a 100 hp (75 kW) Green engine and an amphibious undercarriage. Thus equipped, the third Bat Boat won the £500 Mortimer Singer prize for the first all-British amphibious aircraft on 8 July 1913. In 1914, Sopwith laid down a second pair of Bat Boats. These two aircraft had a similar layout to the first three aircraft, but were larger, having a span of 55 ft (16.76 m), and were powered by 200 hp Salmson engines. The first of these pair was displayed at the Olympia Air Show in March 1914. Also in March, Sopwith commenced building a final Bat Boat to compete in the 1914 Daily Mail Circuit of Britain race for seaplanes. This was similar to the Salmson powered Bat Boat exhibited at Olympia, but was powered by a 225 hp (168 kW) Sunbeam engine. However, the outbreak of the First World War led to cancellation of the Circuit of Britain race. Operational history The second Bat-Boat was purchased by the Admiralty and delivered to Calshot Naval Air Station in June 1913, being allocated the serial number 38. It was badly damaged, however, sinking at its moorings on 23 August 1913, having to be rebuilt again by Sopwith's. After serving at several Naval Air Stations, it was destroyed in a gale at Scapa Flow, Orkney, on 21 November 1914. The third Bat Boat was also purchased by the RNAS in February 1914, and given the serial number 118. It was used for a night flying demonstration at the Fleet Review in July 1914, and for bomb dropping trials at Calshot, being scrapped in February 1915 when it was found that its hull was badly rotted. The first of the two Salmson powered Bat Boats was purchased by the German Navy Air Service, being used as a trainer at Kiel. The second Salmson powered Bat Boat was, after testing at Calshot of radio equipment, sold to Greece in July. The Circuit of Britain machine was subject to compulsory purchase by the RNAS following the outbreak of war. While it suffered engine problems, it remained in use until April 1915. Variants Bat Boat Type 1 Two-seat, single-engined flying boat, powered by 90 hp Austro-Daimler engine Bat Boat Type 1A Amphibious version of Bat Boat Type 1, based on wreckage of first prototype and powered by British built 100 hp Green E.6 engine to compete for Mortimer Singer prize. Refitted with Austro-Daimler engine before sale to RNAS. Bat Boat Type 2 Enlarged version of bat boat, powered by 200 hp Salmson engine. Two built.

Derby College is a further education provider with sites located within Derbyshire (Derby and South East Derbyshire – Ilkeston, Morley). It delivers training in workplace locations across England. The College is a member of the Collab Group of high-performing further-education institutions. History The Derby College of Higher Education split from Derby College of Further Education (FE) during the 1960s. Derby FE was primarily targeted at part-time students from engineering companies such as Rolls-Royce and British Rail. This provision continued through to the 1980s until a major restructuring of industry and the apprenticeship system. The FE colleges then took on different types of students and evolved into new areas. In 1989 Derbyshire County Council was responsible for education, and formed two tertiary colleges, Wilmorton and Mackworth to serve different parts of the city. Mackworth Campus It was opened on the site of the former Parkfields Cedars Grammar School, which moved there in 1969. It became a comprehensive school, then became Mackworth College in 1989. In 1997 there were plans to merge with the University of Derby, but these stalled in 1998. The building has a 1969 glass-tile mural by the artist Alan Boyson, but this is now hidden behind a partition wall. Wilmorton Campus This was situated at the current junction of the Wilmorton Link and London Road on the A6. Broomfield Campus Is situated in the ground of Broomfield Hall. Built in 1873, it was originally the country home of Charles Schwind, and became the Derbyshire Farm Institute. The former students of Broomfield Hall alumni association is called – Broomfield Old Students Association (BOSA). Ilkeston Campus Is situated in Ilkeston in Derbyshire and began as Ilkeston College of Further Education on 14 September 1953. The official opening ceremony took place on 25 June 1954, the college became South East Derbyshire College of Further Education in 1966. When it opened, in 1974, a site in Heanor on the former Heanor Grammar School was an annex of the main college. Heanor Grammar School closed in 1976, it had around 550 boys and girls. Geoffrey Stone was the headmaster for twenty years and became Principal. In 2010 Derby College in Ilkeston was formed between the merges of three campuses of the college that where situated in Ilkeston and Heanor. The former Field Road and Cavendish Road campus were both auctioned off in 2013 and newly built campus was opened in 2014 on the grounds of the Old Magistrates Court in Ilkeston. In 2015 Derby College scrapped plans to turn the remaining Heanor campus into a new education facility. Mergers Derby College was established as a single institution in 2002 by merging three further education colleges: Mackworth Tertiary College, Wilmorton Tertiary College and Broomfield Agricultural College. Since then Wilmorton College has been demolished and turned into a housing estate; and Derby College has built two new purpose built sites; The Joseph Wright Centre (JWC), which specialises in A' levels and in 2010 Derby College reported a 99% success rate for the second year in a row. The Roundhouse redevelopment is the College's flagship site with a focus on vocational qualifications. A merger between South East Derbyshire College and Derby College was approved on 2 February 2010. Curriculum The college offers a wide variety of courses at various levels of education. Working with Key Stage 4 in the 14 – 16 curriculum through to BSc degree and continued professional development.

Mladen I Šubić of Bribir (; died 1304) was a Croatian nobleman who was a member of Šubić family, at the end of 13th and beginning of the 14th century. He was a brother of a ban of Croatia Paul I Šubić of Bribir, who appointed Mladen as a commissar of the Dalmatian city of Split, along with Klis Fortress. After Paul I Šubić declared himself as "Dominus of Bosnia" in 1299, he gave to Mladen I the title of Bosnian Ban. Stephen Kotroman had resisted the growth of Šubić's power in Bosnia, but had lost by 1300 most control over Bosnia to Mladen I Šubić. After 1302 all of Bosnia was under House of Šubić. Mladen I controlled most of it, and small part of Bosnia land (the Lower Edges) was ruled by Prince Hrvatin Stjepanić, who was a vassal of the House of Šubić, which was confirmed by Charles I of Hungary. Bosnian Ban Mladen I Šubić had started a campaign in Bosnia to exterminate the adherents of the Bosnian Church – the Bogumils. In religious conflict Mladen was killed in a battle during 1304. He was inherited by his nephew Mladen II Šubić, who needed help, so Pavao I Šubić himself had to lead an Army to crush the resistance in Bosnia. In 1305 Pavao I took the title of Lord of all of Bosnia (totius Bosniae dominus).

"Dimension" is a song by Australian hard rock band Wolfmother. Written by band members Andrew Stockdale, Chris Ross, and Myles Heskett, it was produced by Dave Sardy for the group's self-titled debut album in 2005. The song was also released as the third single from the album on 17 April 2006, and as the lead track on the EP Dimensions. The song reached number 38 on the Scottish Singles Chart, number 49 on the UK Singles Chart and number 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart. Background "Dimension" was one of four songs originally recorded by Wolfmother for their self-titled debut EP in 2004. It was later re-recorded for the group's self-titled full-length debut the following year and featured on the EP Dimensions in January 2006, their first material released in the United States. On 17 April 2006, one week prior to the European release of Wolfmother, "Dimension" was released in Europe as the band's third single. The song was backed with "The Earth's Rotation Around the Sun" and previous single "Mind's Eye". The single debuted on the UK Singles Chart at its peak position of number 49, remaining in the top 100 for three weeks running. It also registered at number 39 on the Scottish Singles Chart, and was the band's first single to top the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart. Several commentators compared the style of "Dimension" to the music of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Reviewing the Dimensions EP for AllMusic, Thom Jurek outlined that the song contains "Over stomping, fuzz-thudding Geezer Butler-style bass", as well as comparing Andrew Stockdale's vocals to those of Sabbath and Zeppelin frontmen Ozzy Osbourne and Robert Plant. Drowned in Sound writer Jordan Dowling claimed that "several nods" are given to Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi on the track, Kerry McGregor of the fanzine Burnout identified a "Black Sabbath-esque stomp", and Blabbermouth.net's Keith Bergman suggested that it features "some early Ozzy warbling". Sam Shepherd of musicOMH claimed that the song "shamelessly bridges the gap between Black Sabbath and Zeppelin". The music video for "Dimension" was directed by The Malloys, who had previously collaborated with the band on the video for "Mind's Eye", and would later return to direct "Joker & the Thief". Steven Gottlieb of VideoStatic described it as a "no-frills video" which "uses a mix of grainy [black and white] and color film to capture an outdoor performance". The "Dimension" video was originally released on the Dimensions EP. It was later distributed commercially in February, with music video channels including MTV and Fuse airing it from March. Later, it was featured on 2007's Please Experience Wolfmother Live. Reception "Dimension" received a mixed reception from critics. Reviewing the single for Drowned in Sound, Jordan Dowling called it "a mammoth of a track" and a "high-octane rocker", claiming that it "sounds fresher than the majority of its genre-crossing, boundary pushing competitors". In a review of Wolfmother for the NME, James Jam suggested that the song "tick[s] the requisite boxes for all great rock'n'roll – raucous, righteous and totally, thrillingly dumb". PopMatters writer Adrian Begrand outlined that the track "sounds like uninspired garage rock at first, but quickly kicks into gear a grooving riff, and then downshifts into an ear-splitting breakdown". AllMusic's Thom Jurek, however, was damning of "Dimension", criticising it as "mucky, dirty, and saturated in the very 'eavy rock clichés of yore", and calling the song's lyrics "just plain bad".

Annaly is an Irish lordship and former principality, named for its conqueror Angaile, or An Uillin, ancestor of the Ó Fearghail. The territory of Annaly coincides with modern County Longford and was conquered in the 10th century by An Uillin, a King of Fortúatha whose line were chiefs of the Muintir Angaile, a clan comprising the Mac Gofraidh (Jefferies), the Mac Murchadha (Murphy), and the Ó Súilleacháin (O'Sullivan) families. An Uillin's great-grandson Fearghail was the progenitor of the Ó Fearghail family, who were historically the Princes of Annaly. The lineage of Fearghaile also provided chiefs of the Dál Messin Corb dynasty and the Uí Garrchon, a clan comprising the Ó Corra (Carr), Ó Guaire (Gore), and Ó Lionnain (Lennon) families. Princes of Angaile The history of Angaile is detailed in the Annals of the Four Masters. From the turn of the 11th century until the colonial confiscations of James I in the early 17th century, the Ó Fearghail controlled Angaile as a principality. This rule was disrupted by repeated English invasions in the 12th and 13th centuries. By the 15th century, the tribe regained complete control and had divided into the North Angaile ruling White Ó Fearghail (Irish orthography: Uí Fhearghail Bán) and the South Angaile ruling Yellow Ó Fearghail (Irish orthography: Uí Fhearghail Buí). After the tribal Gaelic Order had been shattered, many members of the clan became tenants of their old land with English and Scottish landlords. Captains of The Annaly In 1565, there is the grant in the patent rolls of the Captainship and Chief status of the Slewght William of the Annaly. The grant is made by Queen Elizabeth I in 1565. The Sleughtwilliam historically includes the Ardagh and Edgeworthstown regions. This grant by the Queen Elizabeth to Lord Delvin Christopher Nugent was effectuated on 22 Nov 1565. Further, the possessions and the captainship of Slewaght (Ardagh Diocese) within the Analy were granted to Lord Devlin in 1565 with the Abbey of All Saints, and the custody or captainship of Slewaght within the Analy. Lord Delvin was also granted the abbey lands of the island of Inishmore or Inchemore in County Longford where the famous St. Columb lived before leaving to convert the Scots. Barons of Annaly Baron Annaly is a title that has been created three times, twice in the Peerage of Ireland and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The third creation is currently extant. The first creation came in the Peerage of Ireland in 1766 when the lawyer and politician John Gore was made Baron Annaly of Tenelick in the County of Longford. He had previously represented Jamestown and County Longford in the Irish House of Commons and served as Solicitor-General for Ireland from 1760 to 1764. Gore was the son of George Gore, younger son of Sir Arthur Gore, 1st Baronet, whose elder son Paul Gore was the grandfather of Arthur Gore, 1st Earl of Arran. George, like his son, was Attorney General and a High Court judge. Other members of the Gore family include the Gore Baronets of Magharabeg, the Barons Harlech and the Earls Temple of Stowe (a title which has come into the family through marriage). On Lord Annaly's death in 1784 the title became extinct. The second creation came in the Peerage of Ireland in 1789 when Henry Gore was created Baron Annaly of Tenelick, in the County of Longford. He was the younger brother of John Gore, 1st Baron Annaly of the 1766 creation. Gore had previously represented County Longford and Lanesborough in the Irish House of Commons. On his death in 1793 this title became extinct as well. The third creation came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1863 when the Liberal politician Henry White was made Baron Annaly of Annaly and Rathcline in the County of Longford. He had earlier represented County Dublin and County Longford in the House of Commons and also served as Lord Lieutenant of County Longford. White's father Luke White had previously represented County Leitrim in Parliament as a Whig. The first Baron's son, the second Baron, sat as a Liberal Member of Parliament for County Clare, County Longford and Kidderminster and served as a Junior Lord of the Treasury from 1862 to 1866 in the Liberal administrations of Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell. He was also Lord Lieutenant of County Longford. As of 2017, the title is held by his great-great-grandson, the sixth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1990. He served briefly as a government whip in 1994 in the Conservative government of John Major. However, Lord Annaly lost his seat in the House of Lords after the House of Lords Act of 1999 removed the automatic right of hereditary peers to sit in the upper chamber of Parliament. The family seat was Luttrellstown Castle, near Clonsilla, Dublin in Republic of Ireland. Feudal Lords and Feudal Barons of Annaly, Westmeath and later County Longford In 1552, King Edward VI granted lands of Annaly to Baron Delvin including the Holy Island and lands of the Ó Fearghail. In 1556–57, Philip and Mary made grants to Lord Baron Delvin of the northern Annaly region before the county became County Longford. King James I also granted to Lord Baron Delvin the Island and monastery of Inchemore, otherwise Inismore, in the Annalie.

Reactive devaluation is a cognitive bias that occurs when a proposal is devalued if it appears to originate from an antagonist. The bias was proposed by Lee Ross and Constance Stillinger (1988). Reactive devaluation could be caused by loss aversion or attitude polarization, or naïve realism. Studies In an initial experiment, Stillinger and co-authors asked pedestrians in the US whether they would support a drastic bilateral nuclear arms reduction program. If they were told the proposal came from President Ronald Reagan, 90 percent said it would be favorable or even-handed to the United States; if they were told the proposal came from a group of unspecified policy analysts, 80 percent thought it was favorable or even; but, if respondents were told it came from Mikhail Gorbachev only 44 percent thought it was favorable or neutral to the United States. In another experiment, a contemporaneous controversy at Stanford University led to the university divesting of South African assets because of the apartheid regime. Students at Stanford were asked to evaluate the University's divestment plan before it was announced publicly and after such. Proposals including the actual eventual proposal were valued more highly when they were hypothetical. In another study, experimenters showed Israeli participants a peace proposal which had been actually proposed by Israel. If participants were told the proposal came from a Palestinian source, they rated it lower than if they were told (correctly) the identical proposal came from the Israeli government. If participants identified as "hawkish" were told it came from a "dovish" Israeli government, they believed it was relatively bad for their people and good for the other side, but not if participants identified as "doves".

Ramon Guthrie (January 14, 1896 – November 22, 1973) was a poet, novelist, essayist, critic, painter and professor of French and comparative literature. He published five collections of poetry, and two novels, translated three volumes of French nonfiction, edited two standard anthologies of French literature and published numerous reviews, essays and individual poems. Introduction His reputation among his contemporaries, many with extraordinary reputations of their own, is demonstrated by the festschrift honoring him upon his retirement from teaching. That volume, Ramon Guthrie Kaleidoscope, contains contributions by the poets: Dilys Laing, Lou B. ("Bink") Noll, Phillip Booth and Tristan Tzara; the critics, Malcolm Cowley, M. L. Rosenthal and Irita Bradford Van Doren; the artists, Stella Bowen, Alexander Calder, Peter Blume and Ray Nash and the journalist, George Seldes plus some two dozen other contributors. However, even though Germaine Bree wrote of his penultimate collection, Asbestos Phoenix, that "[It] alone would place Ramon Guthrie among the major poets of the mid-century," and his masterpiece, Maximum Security Ward would be greeted in 1970 with critical acclaim and would receive the Marjorie Peabody Waite award, Guthrie and his masterpiece were neglected. Malcolm Cowley, a major critic of Guthrie's generation, writing 10 years after the publication of Maximum Security Ward, stated of Guthrie and of MSW's reception: "Among the talented writers I have known, the most curiously neglected is the poet and scholar Ramon Guthrie. He started out with the famous writers of the World War I generation, Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, and others, some of whom were his good friends. His best writing was on a level with theirs.") Another major critic of the 20th century, M. L. Rosenthal, chose Maximum Security Ward and Other Poems to be the first volume in Persea Book's Lamplighter Series of significant modern poets because he felt that Guthrie had been neglected and ought to remain in print. Rosenthal said of Guthrie that he had been ignored "For no good reason, really -- only the familiar general indifference to the real thing and identification of publicity with reputation." Guthrie was in the middle of the literary ferment following World War I (Ford Madox Ford and Siegfried Sassoon invited him to come to England) and of expatriate Paris in the 1920s. where he was conversant with James Joyce and Gertrude Stein could stop by Edith Sitwell’s salon and spend an afternoon with Ezra Pound in the Tuileries during which "all Pound talked about was bassoons." In the summer of 1919 at the Café des Tourelles in Paris he joined Norman Fitts and nine others including Stephen Vincent Benét, Roger Sessions, and Thornton Wilder in what became "S4N Society." Ramon became the most consistent and loyal contributor to the little magazine that resulted from this meeting S4N, which published E.E. Cummings, Hart Crane, and others. Beginning in the mid 1920s Guthrie became an important emotional and literary support of Sinclair Lewis. George Seldes claimed "Of all the persons on whom Sinclair Lewis relied most from 1927 onward, either for help in his work, or as a sounding board for ideas, or as a critic, a commentator on pieces of future novels he would act out spontaneously, the chosen one was Ramon Guthrie." Life 1896-1916: Early years of poverty and labor 14 January 1896, Raymon Hollister Guthrie is born in New York City (he claimed his birth certificate said 13 January but his mother said 14 January) to Harry and Ella May Guthrie (née Hollister). Supposedly named after a singer, Raymon Moore, he later discards both the “y” and his middle name. He has an older sister, Eleanor, probably born in 1889. In 1898 or so Harry decamps with another woman and vanishes from sight. (Guthrie said his father eventually remarried and that he saw him only once again, in 1905, for a few minutes. He believed his father died in 1910 in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent another's suicide by gas.) Years of grinding poverty follow. Mrs. Guthrie moves to Hartford and supports her children with difficulty, running a boarding house, working as a dressmaker, Christian Science practitioner, and manicurist, etc. Due to her poor health the children probably spend a brief period in an orphanage when Guthrie is about five (despite his mother's Connecticut relatives). After completing grammar school, Guthrie is unable, for financial reasons, to accept a scholarship to the Hartford Art School. He works at odd jobs and in the Underwood typewriter factory and flunks out of night school. From 1912 to 1915, however, he manages to attend the Northfield Mount Hermon School (in Massachusetts) for part of cadi year. Several of his poems appear in The Hermonite. (Sec "The Archangel Michael” for Mount Hermon's evangelical flavor.) In 1915 Mrs. Guthrie has her first stroke and moves in with a sister near New Haven. Guthrie goes to work for the Winchester Repeating Arms factory in New Haven, at this time busy filling war orders. He works on the night shift straightening draw punches. After another stroke early in 1916 his mother commits suicide in the charity ward of the New Haven Hospital. (See “Fiercer Than Evening Wolves” for details of this early period.) 1916-22: War and coming of age in France Guthrie decides not to return to Mount Hermon in the fall and instead enlists in the 10th Connecticut Field Artillery. (Eleanor, whom Guthrie remembered as given to temper tantrums, has married. She and her brother are essentially estranged from 1916 on. Guthrie said she later married Lt. Col. Charles Wallington Furlong and was a friend of Mary Baker Eddy.) In December, however, he sails for France as a volunteer with the American Field Service and is an ambulance driver with the Eighth Army on the Western Front for several months and then with the Armee de l’Orient in the Balkans. Returning to France, Guthrie joins the U.S. Army's Aviation Section Signal Corps and trains as an observer. (He said he was afraid the war would be over before he could complete training as a pilot.) He walks away from a spectacular plane crash, which results in bouts of amnesia (see “ ‘Visse, Scrisse, Amo’ ” ) and various nervous disorders, among them acusis—intolerance of loud noise—and acute attacks of anxiety and panic. (The crash is severe enough to entitle him to a disability pension.) He is assigned to the Eleventh Bombing Squadron and participates in a disastrous raid over La Chaussee in which an incompetent major sends the planes aloft with machine guns out of order and without a fighter escort. Guthrie and his pilot, the only survivors, are forced to watch the other planes shot down (see “Death with Pants On” ). Fortunately, their machine gun is working, and Guthrie shoots down two enemy fighters and survives to become a successful formation leader and to shoot down two more. He is awarded two citations, one of them the Silver Star. While serving in the army he discovers Paris and his future wife, Marguerite Maurey from Nancy. At the end of the war he takes a course in French civilization at the Sorbonne, but in the summer of 1919 he is shipped back to the States. After several hospitalizations (see his novel Parachute, based on a hospital for convalescent airmen in Cooperstown) and a few months’ work as an insurance investigator, he returns to France. His poems appear in Norman Fitts's little magazine S4N (which Fitts had founded along with Guthrie, Stephen Vincent Benet, Roger Sessions, Thornton Wilder, and others), and in Paris Review: The Illustrated American Magazine in France. He studies political science at Toulouse under a disability pension, earning two special degrees for foreigners, the license and doctorat en droit, in 1921 and 1922; but he continues his literary studies and poetry, including translations from the Provençal. 1922-29: The flourishing of a poet-novelist-translator On 8 April 1922 Guthrie marries Marguerite in Toulouse. They move to Paris, and during 1922-23 he works on a semi-autobiographical novel, “Philip” (unpublished except for one chapter, “Marchand d’habits,” in the January–February 1923 issue of S4N). He writes poetry, follows courses at the Sorbonne in Old French and Provençal, is rumored to have become one of Otto Rank's patients, and participates in the literary and artistic life centered in Montparnasse. (See “Ezra Pound in Paris and Elsewhere,” “Montparnasse,” and “For Approximately the Same Reason.” ) The Guthries return to the United States in 1923, also the year of his first collection of poems, Trobar Clus (the first book put out by the S4N Society). Malcolm Cowley introduces Guthrie to the avant-garde literary scene in New York, but Guthrie's search for a job takes him to the University of Arizona, where he teaches French language and literature courses from 1924 to 1926. (See “The Clown: Hurrah for the Petrified Forest” and “There Are Those.” ) In 1926 the Guthries return to France and the eminently congenial expatriate milieu—partly at the instigation of Sinclair Lewis, whose collaboration with and dependence on Guthrie absorb much of the poet's time and energy over the next decades. Besides Trobar Clus (1923), Guthrie publishes his novel Marcabrun (1926); another collection of poems (A World Too Old, 1927); a translation of Bernard Fay's The Revolutionary Spirit in France and America (1927); a second novel (Parachute, 1928); and the risqué narrative poem The Legend of Ermengarde (1929). That year the Guthries return to the United States, probably for economic reason. 1930-63: The Dartmouth years and relative poetic silence From 1930 to 1963, except for a stint in the O.S.S. during World War II in France and Algiers as liaison with the French Resistance (for which he is also cited)—see “Fragment of a Travelogue” and “For Approximately the Same Reason”—Guthrie teaches full-time at Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire), specializing in Proust. He makes his home across the border in Norwich, Vermont, and returns to France as frequently as possible during vacations and sabbaticals, often to paint rather than write. (He once figured that he had lived 16 years in France.) He is made an Officier d’Academie in 1949 and an Officier dans I’ordre des Palmes academiques in 1963 (see “Pattern for a Brocade Shroud” ). His scholarly enterprises include occasional articles, among them discussions of his close relationship with Lewis; a number of reviews—especially for the New York Herald Tribune Book Review; the preparation of two anthologies (with George E. Diller): French Literature and Thought Since the Revolution (1942) and Prose and Poetry of Modem France (1964); and two 1947 translations: The Republic of Silence, compiled by A.J. Liebling, and The Other Kingdom, by David Rousset. Guthrie, however, does not abandon poetry entirely during this period. In 1933 The Arts Press (Hanover) brings out his Scherzo from a Poem To Be Entitled The Proud City; in 1938 he writes his long, anti-Fascist, unpublished poem “Instead of Abel”; he participates in the Thursday evening meetings of poets living in the area (among them Richard Eberhart, Bink Noll, Thomas and Vera Vance, and Alexander Laing and—especially—his wife Dilys); and he puts together the manuscript of Graffiti (1959) for M.L. Rosenthal, then poetry advisor at Macmillan, who has also published some of his poems in The Nation. As his retirement from full-time teaching approaches (1963—although he teaches through the fall semester of 1965), his poetic output increases markedly. 1964-73: Guthrie’s last years and his final poetic flourishing His renaissance occurs against the backdrop of his escalating medical problems and the Vietnam War. He vehemently opposes the war—see “Some of Us Must Remember” and “Scherzo for a Dirge” —and in 1965 returns his World War I Silver Star to President Johnson in protest. His first operation for cancer of the bladder takes place in the summer of 1966, and he starts on Maximum Security Ward. He is well enough in 1967 to give some readings in France and to spend time at Yaddo, but is very ill at the beginning of 1968 and starts a course of cobalt therapy. Alexander Laing raises a subscription from Guthrie's former students and other supporters so that Emile Capouya accepts Asbestos Phoenix for Funk & Wagnalls in January. Guthrie is never aware of this arrangement. Despite his physical condition, Guthrie spends late spring and summer in Paris. (See “Boul Miche, May 1968.” ) Back home he races to correct the galleys of Asbestos Phoenix before undergoing surgery to remove his colon, which has been severely damaged by the cobalt treatment. Despite the dangerous operation and massive transfusions, he recovers enough to see Asbestos Phoenix in print and to return to Paris in the summer of 1969, but there he hemorrhages badly and ends up in the American Hospital. (See “The Dutch Head Nurse.” ) He is shipped home in such poor condition that he is not expected to recover, but with Maximum Security Ward not quite finished he insists on being taken off pain-killers so that he can complete it. By October it is at the typist's, and Robert Giroux accepts it in the spring of 1970 for Farrar, Straus & Giroux. From now until his death Guthrie is essentially house- and hospital- bound. More operations follow, and he is too sick in May 1970 (he is in fact unconscious for most of six weeks) to accept the Marjorie Peabody Waite Award of the National Institute of Arts and Letters in person, and Cowley accepts for him. But by June 1971 he is well enough to attend the Dartmouth commencement ceremonies, during which he is elected an honorary member of Phi Beta Kappa and receives the Litt.D. Compounding his surgical problems, however, are Parkinson's Disease, asthma, double vision, and eventually hallucinations, he is hospitalized for much of 1972 and 1973. 22 November 1973, Thanksgiving Day, having finally succeeded in getting himself released from the hospital but not from his unrelenting physical and mental torment, Guthrie takes an overdose of phenobarbital. He dies at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover in the afternoon. His grave, marked by a miniature dolmen, overlooks Norwich. Marguerite dies three years later.

Fred Jefferson Burrell (March 12, 1889 – October 15, 1955) was a Massachusetts businessman and politician who served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and as Treasurer and Receiver-General of Massachusetts from January 21, 1920 – September 3, 1920. 1917 Massachusetts Constitutional Convention In 1916 the Massachusetts legislature and electorate approved a calling of a Constitutional Convention. In May 1917, Burell was elected to serve as a member of the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention of 1917, representing the 26th Middlesex District of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Massachusetts Treasurer Elected Treasurer in 1919, Burrell resigned from the position on September 3, 1920, following an investigation by a special legislative committee, which revealed that banks using the services of an advertising agency owned by Burrell received increased amounts of state money. Burrell was also criticized for depositing $125,000 of state funds with Hanover Trust Company, a bank run by Charles Ponzi. Burrell denied any wrongdoing and ran for Treasurer five more times after his resignation, losing to Charles F. Hurley in 1930, John E. Hurley in 1944 and 1950, Roy C. Papalia in the 1952 Republican primary, and Laurence Curtis in the 1956 Republican primary.

Olfactory receptor 52B4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OR52B4 gene. Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.

JARING (Jaring Communications Sdn Bhd) was a Malaysian internet service provider based in Technology Park Malaysia (TPM). It was the first Internet service provider in the country and was formerly owned by MIMOS Berhad. The word "JARING" was derived from "Joint Advanced Research Integrated Networking". JARING underwent liquidation on 23 April 2015 and is no longer in business. Its final CEO was Datuk Norhisam Mohamed @ Mohamed Nor. History JARING was Malaysia's first and pioneer Internet access service provider. JARING was commercialised in 1992 after installing its first international satellite leased-circuit at 64kps, connecting Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Stockton in the United States. The circuit had then enabled JARING network users to be linked directly with Internet, including the BITNET and NSFNet. In June 1997, JARING became the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in South East Asia to install the T3 (45Mbit/s) line, which provided JARING users with faster access to the Internet. In 1999, JARING went a step further by introducing SuperJARING Internet backbone infrastructure with 2.5 Gigabits per second transmission speed, making it the fastest and longest (841 km) IP-over-fibre backbone service available in the world then. The SuperJARING infrastructure that runs across Peninsular Malaysia from Kuala Lumpur through Ipoh, Penang, Kulim, Johor Bahru, Melaka and back to Kuala Lumpur has the capability to provide next-generation, bandwidth-intensive services like video-on-demand, secure virtual private networks (Secure VPNs), Internet telephony, Internet TV, distance learning and telemedicine. As a pioneer in providing Internet access in Malaysia, JARING was committed in exploring new technologies and setting standards for others to follow in order to facilitate the creation of a knowledge-based society. Up until its closure, JARING had multiples of 622Mbit/s links (STM4) to the global Internet, providing highly redundant circuits riding on the latest APCN-2, FLAG and PACNET submarine cable systems. JARING Communications Sdn. Bhd. was later established as a spin-off company under MIMOS Berhad on 1 April 2005 and by December 2006, the Ministry of Finance, Malaysia, officially takes over JARING from MIMOS Berhad. In 2008, JARING is first again to implement Internet telephone interconnect with traditional telephone services allowing Celcom subscribers to directly dial to JARING MY015 telephone subscribers. The Interconnect was later expanded to other telecommunications providers such as Maxis, Telekom Malaysia, TIME, Packet One and DiGi. In February 2009, JARING was awarded "The International Customer Service Standard (TICSS)" Certification by the British Standards Institution (BSI), United Kingdom. JARING is the first telecommunication company in Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific to receive this award. JARING had strategically committed its resources in embarking on an initiative to pursue the globally recognised certifications in Information Security Management System. On 20 July 2011, SIRIM QAS International formally awarded the ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications for JARING Internet Data Centre, Virtual Private Network and System Operations. On 1 January 2013, JARING becomes a private entity under Utusan Printcorp Sdn. Bhd. (UPSB) when the latter took over 100% of the withholding of the company from Ministry of Finance. Up until its closure, it had ventured into expanding Malaysia's Internet experience by becoming among the first to provide high performance computing over the cloud, big data analysis, integrated solution for Internet of Things (IoT) and sentiment analytic for data processing. JARING has finally closed and undergoes liquidation as of 23 April 2015. Milestones JARING has distinctly positions itself to be firsts in the Internet industry and its evolving technologies and applications in Malaysia. Among JARING accomplishments are: 1992: Pioneered the Internet gateway in Malaysia establishing itself as the first Internet Service Provider (ISP). 1999: The launch of SuperJARING Internet backbone that runs from North to South of Peninsular Malaysia at a speed of 2.5 Gigabits per second, establishing it the first, fastest and longest (841 km) IP-over-fiber backbone service in the world at that time. 1999: JARING was the first ISP to be awarded the Cisco Powered Network Certification. This certification is recognized to be of international standard that identifies JARING as a reliable provider with a high-performance secured network. 2000: The first broadband Internet service based on IP-over-Optical Fibre was introduced and catered for business entities at 8 Mbit/s, 34Mbit/s and 155Mbit/s. 2001: The state-of-the art Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) was offered for the first time to secure the performance of the Virtual Private Network (VPN). 2001–2003: Voted the best ISP under the Consumer Satisfaction Survey for three consecutive years by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). 2006: In December JARING Communications Sdn Bhd becomes another arm under the Ministry of Finance of Malaysia. 2014: High Growth Partner of the year by Southeast Asia and India Trend Micro Incorporated. 2014: Trend Micro Gold Partner by Southeast Asia and India Trend Micro Incorporated. 2015: JARING ceased operations.

Xiaoyi is a Chinese AI-powered robotic medical doctor developed by the iFlyTek, an AI company headquartered in China. The robot is developed to function as an assistant to human doctors to improve efficiency in the future treatments as in competition to IBM's Watson, Amazon's Echo and Google's DeepMind Health. Xiaoyi is known to be the first robot in the world which makes history by passing the China's National Medical Licensing Examination, the first assessment of its kind for any would-be doctor practicing in the country. Overview Chinese robot's name ‘Xiaoyi’ that means "Little Doctor" became the first AI robot to pass the Medical Licensing Exam, developed by iFlyTek in collaboration with Tsinghua University. As per the Beijing News, it is clearly stated that before in the practice round, Xiaoyi hardly attained 100 out of 600 points in China's medical licensing exam which was quite unsatisfactory for the developers as the passing were 360 points. Xiaoyi prepared again, thus by thoroughly going through the dozens of medical textbooks’ materials, two million medical records and furthermore reviewed 400,000 articles in order to develop the kind of a reasoning ability needed to become a doctor. The robot took a fraction of allotted time required to complete the test when attempted real test, passing with a score of 456 which was 96 points higher than the passing marks afterwards. Xiaoyi's development is a part of great efforts by China in accelerating the AI application in consumer electronics, healthcare and many other industries. An artificial intelligence-enabled robot can automatically capture and analyze the patient's information and can make initial diagnostics. Liu Qingfeng, chairman of iFlytek, said, "We will officially launch the robot in March 2018. It is not meant to replace doctors. Instead, it is to promote better people-machine cooperation so as to boost efficiency."

IG Group Holdings plc, trading as IG Group, is a United Kingdom-based online trading provider, offering access to spread betting and CFD trading, which allow traders to bet on the direction of equities, bonds and currencies without owning the underlying assets. Established in 1974 by Stuart Wheeler. The company is based in London and employs 1,950 staff. , it had a market value of £2.9 billion and offered trading in 17,000 investment markets. IG is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the UK's financial authority body. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. History Founding and early years (1974– 2000) The company was founded in 1974 by Stuart Wheeler as a spread betting business under the name IG Index (an abbreviation for Investors Gold Index) which allowed people to trade gold prices as an index instead of buying the physical commodity. In July 2000, shares in the newly named IG Group plc were first listed on the London Stock Exchange. Expansion (2001– 2010) In July 2002, IG Group commenced trading in Australia after a change in the country's financial services legislation made it possible to offer contracts for difference to Australian residents. IG Group took the opportunity to acquire its founder's shares, and those of certain other long-standing shareholders, in a management buy-out (backed by private equity firm CVC Capital Partners) which valued the company at £143 million; IG Group plc's listing on the London Stock Exchange was subsequently cancelled on 7 November 2003. In May 2005, after two years of private ownership, IG Group and CVC Capital Partners re-floated the company on the main list of the London Stock Exchange with a valuation of £393 million. In October 2008, IG Group acquired FXOnline Japan KK, a Japanese retail FX business. In 2007, it purchased HedgeStreet, a small US based company that developed an electronic marketplace that allows online retail investors to trade financial derivatives. It renamed this the North American Derivatives Exchange or (NADEX) and has been attempting to use this to develop a product that looks like its binary option "digital 100s" product but that meets the US financial regulations and can be offered to retail traders. In 2007, IG has also been labeled as a gambling company by some of authoritative media. The Telegraph's warning report stated that although such spread-betting companies as IG have been regulated by the UK financial regulator, "no amount of regulation will help you if you get your bets wrong, so in that respect there is no doubt it is risky, and you should make sure you know what you are doing before you get involved". In May 2010, it obtained permission from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission to make various technical changes that move in that direction. Later in 2010, IG Index, IG Group's spread betting firm, was hit with a claim for €25 million by three former clients of defunct Scottish trading firm Echelon Wealth Management for unspecified losses. Recent developments (2011–present) In June 2011, IG Markets shut down its traditional fixed-odds sports service extrabet, which had an emphasis on in-play betting. The fixed odds sport service was shut down to focus on financial wagers, after failing to find a buyer for the whole unit. In September 2014, the company started its own online stockbroking platform offering some 4,500 stocks. In January 2015, the Swiss National Bank announced that it would be discontinuing its minimum exchange rate policy. IG customers incurred losses of £18.4 million after it happened. They accused the company of breaching UK regulations by acting out of self-interest and alleged a failure by company to provide the best execution to everyone. In October 2015, after claims by many of the firm's clients, IG "accepted a ruling by the UK’s Financial Ombudsman Service that it should compensate customers for money lost during a rapid appreciation of the Swiss franc in January". In September 2016, IG Group acquired DailyFX, a foreign exchange trading news and research portal, from FXCM for $40 million. Later, in December, Peter Hetheringon, the CEO of the company, criticised the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK after it announced new measures to overhaul the industry, publicly blaming the regulator for weakness in some aspects of implementation and its lack of understanding of what the proposed changes could bring. In December 2016, the FCA questioned whether binary bets "serve a genuine investment need" and defined them as more akin to gambling. Aside from most consumers losing money, the FCA's other concerns included the addictive nature of binary options betting, and inherent conflicts of interest. "Since 2012 there have been a reported 2,605 victims who lost a total of £59.4m on binary options scams – an average of nearly £23,000 each". In 2017, investors lost more than £87,000 a day on binary option scams alone. In January 2017, IG group announced their decision on withdrawal of the binary options betting product, admitting that the arrival of the regulator to the market would significantly worsen the company's state of affairs. The director of IG corporate affairs stated: "I think that product will come under regulatory pressure in the future. That does not influence our view – it's simply a fact." At the same time, analysts stated that the IG's binary option withdrawal has been more akin to provocation: "It was a pre-emptive measure to mitigate further regulation". In April 2017, IG Group launched IG Smart Portfolios – a suite of ETF investment portfolios created in partnership with BlackRock, marking the company's first move into online wealth management. In October 2018, IG Group appointed June Felix as CEO and, in February 2019, IG Group launched IG US to enter US market. Leadership Following his tenure as Chief Financial Officer, Tim Hawkins was appointed CEO in October 2006, retiring 9 years later in 2015. Following the departure of Tim Howkins, Peter Hetherington became CEO in October 2015, having started at the company as a graduate trainee in January 1994. He later stepped down in September 2018. In October 2018, IG Group appointed June Felix as CEO. Felix served as a non-executive director for three years before joining the board. As of October 2020, Felix also serves on the board at Relx PLC. tastytrade IG acquired tastytrade in June 2021 for $1bn, a trading platform catering to individual investors. Privately owned tastytrade was co-founded in 2011 by Tom Sosnoff who also founded thinkorswim, a brokerage firm that was acquired by TD Ameritrade for $606million in 2009, and Dough, Inc. Subsidiary tastyworks was launched in January 2017 as a brokerage arm of tastytrade. Nadex Sale In December 2021, IG brokered a deal for the sale of North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex) and a 39% stake in Small Exchange Inc to Foris DAX Markets Inc, which trades as Crypto.com, completing the $216 million sale in March 2022. Nadex is a U.S. derivatives exchange regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission encompassing short term binary options. ESG Investing In 2019, IG partnered with Teach First to train 16 teachers in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). This partnership was extended to create a £2 million fund supporting children in disadvantaged areas, specifically affected by the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education system. IG Group launched its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy, Brighter Future, in 2020. IG's Brighter Future Fund launched in early 2020 at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on the education and development of young people irrespective of race, gender or socioeconomic background. Operations In 2012, IG Group consolidated its business in the UK under one brand, IG. IG Group is now, therefore, the sole trading name of the operating companies: IG Index offers spread betting on financial markets as well a binary options under the supervision of the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. IG Markets offers CFDs on a similar range of financial markets. IG Markets Limited is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. Controversies Platform crashes In 2021, FinanceFeeds and Financial Magnates reported that IG Group's system, supposedly accustomed to low volatility periods, faced frequent outages at the time of higher-than-usual trade volumes. Such crashes left clients unable to control the positions, leading to loss of funds. FinanceFeeds also mentioned that during the January 2021 outage, IG Group provided no customer support (up to not answering the phone calls) but immediately reacted to request for commentary to protect its public image and deny the issues raised by the clients. 2021 short squeeze In February 2021, IG Group and 34 other brokers and hedge funds were targeted by an antitrust class action lawsuit for allegedly conspiring against non-professional investors when GameStop short squeeze took place. According to the plaintiff, the defendants hatched an uncompetitive scheme to limit the trading of certain securities after the failure of their highly speculative short-selling strategies, thus violating state antitrust laws. Sponsorship During its history, IG Group signed some notable sponsorship deals: The company sponsored Getafe CF football club in the 2010-2011 Spanish season. In November 2010, IG Markets signed a sponsorship deal to support Team Sky professional cycling team in 2011. In December 2010, IG Markets announced sponsorship of two stages of Santos Tour Down Under cycling race in 2011. In October 2013, IG signed a sponsorship deal with Harlequin rugby team for the next three years. In September 2014, the deal was updated to make IG one of three major sponsors for the team. In May 2015, IG Group became a partner of Melbourne Football Club for 2015 and 2016. In May 2021, IG Group became a partner of England Cricket Club for 2021 and 2022.

The Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts () is an art museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. Collection The museum was created by private initiative in 1841, with funds provided by the artist Marc-Louis Arlaud, who became its first curator. Private funds still help the acquisition process with gifts and legacies. In 2014, the museum conserved around 10,000 artworks. A part of them retrace a general history of art, beginning with ancient Egypt, but the largest part focuses on art from the end of the eighteenth century to post-impressionism. The reputation of the museum is due to five great collections : those of Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros (1748-1810), Charles Gleyre (1806-1874), Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859–1923), Félix Vallotton (1865–1925) and Louis Soutter (1871–1942). Modern and contemporary art collections includes works by Marcel Broodthaers, Rolf Iseli, Tadeusz Kantor, Charles Rollier, Daniel Spoerri or Maria Elena Vieira da Silva. Expressive figuration is extensively represented by Günter Brus, Luciano Castelli, Miriam Cahn, Martin Disler, Leiko Ikemura, Arnulf Rainer, Klaudia Schifferle, and , among others. In the years 1990–2010, the museum focused on the acquisition of majors works by international artists such as Christian Boltanski, Tom Burr, Sophie Calle, Alfredo Jaar, Nalini Malani, Bruce Nauman and Jim Shaw, as well as representing local artists such as , Edmond Jean de Pury, Alain Huck, Silvie Defraoui, , and . In October 2019, the museum relocated to the new ''Plateforme 10'' facility. This expanded facility allows the museum to further dedicate rooms for its permanent collection.

The Bosnian Mountain Horse (Bosnian: Bosanski brdski konj / Босански брдски коњ) is the only indigenous breed of domestic horse in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it constitutes about 70% of the horse population. It is a small horse and is used both as a pack animal and for riding. Breed numbers were severely reduced during the Bosnian War of 1992–1995, and, unlike populations of other farm animals, continued to fall after the end of the war. History Selective breeding of the Bosnian Mountain Horse began at the stud of Goražde in 1908. The principal centres for the selection of the breed were the stud farms of Borike, in the municipality of Rogatica, and Han Pijesak. Three stallion lines – Agan, Barut and Miško – and nine mare lines were established; the Agan line is lost, and the Barut and Miško lines heavily mixed. Arab stallions at the Borike stud were used to improve the Bosnian Mountain Horse. There are two types within the breed. The Glasinacki type has substantial Arab influence; it is named after the plateau of Glasinac on the Romanija mountain, in the eastern part of the Republika Srpska. A smaller type, the Podveleški, is found in Herzegovina. Horse populations – like those of other farm animals – suffered heavily during the Bosnian War of 1992–1995. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the total number of horses fell from in 1990 to in 1995, and by 2002 had fallen further to , or about 15% of the pre-war number; in the Republika Srpska numbers also fell, though not so steeply. Overall, horse numbers in Bosnia and Herzegovina fell by 68% between 1990 and 2002. The breed has not been substantially affected by importations of foreign horses. It is in some areas the principal, or even the only, means of transportation. Characteristics A survey of of the horses in the 1950s found the commonest colour to be bay, accounting for 38% of the total, followed by grey (28%), black (18%), chestnut (13%), dun and striped dun (3%) and isabelline (0.13%).

Bernardus Papiensis (pre-1150 – 18 September 1213) was an Italian canonist and bishop of the Christian Church. Born at Pavia, he studied law and theology at Bologna under Gandulphus and Faventinus. Later, he was provost of the cathedral of Pavia until 1191, Bishop of Faenza until 1198, and then Bishop of Pavia until his death there in 1213. Background Papiensis' very extensive works on the canon law helped elevate canon law to a legal system in its own right, taught at universities, that was recognised to change over time. In particular, Papiensis is renowned for his "Breviarium extravagantium" (later called "Compilatio prima antiqua"), a collection of canonical texts comprising ancient canons not inserted in the "Decretum" of Gratian and also later documents. The work was compiled between 1187 and 1191, and was edited by Friedberg (Quinque compilationes antiquæ, 1882). Papiensis is the author of a "Summa" on his own compilation, which he wrote while Bishop of Faenza; it was edited by Laspeyres, as were also other works of the same author: Summa de matrimonio, Summa de electione, Casus decretalium, and a gloss on his Breviarium extravagantium (Bernardi Papiensis Summa decretalium, 1861). He is also the author of a Vita sancti Lanfranci (Acta SS., IV Jun., 620 sqq.), a Commentarius in Ecclesiasticum and a Commentarius in Canticum Canticorum.

The Belgian Friendship Building or Belgian Pavilion is the former exhibition building for Belgium from the 1939/1940 World's Fair in New York City. It now serves as Barco-Stevens Hall on the campus of Virginia Union University (VUU), in Richmond, Virginia. Design It was designed by Belgian architects Victor Bourgeois and Leon Stynen under Henry van de Velde, and is notable as an early example of Modernist architecture in the United States. Due to the outbreak of World War II, the Pavilion could not be returned to Belgium. The Belgian government sponsored a competition to determine the building's new home. VUU won, and the Pavilion moved to Richmond in 1941 as VUU's Belgian Friendship Building. Through 1997, the university's library was also located in the Belgian Friendship Building. The building was damaged by Hurricane Isabel in 2003. It is now VUU's gymnasium. Relocation In 1942, an African American architect named Charles Thaddeus Russell's supervised the move and reconstruction of the Belgian Building on the Virginia Union University grounds. 27 institutions wanted the building but it was granted to Virginia Union University.

The Scottish League Championship is the domestic rugby union league system within Scotland. Operated by the Scottish Rugby Union, the championship was founded in 1973 as the first formalised national league system within any home nations country. The new six division championship replaced the haphazard Scottish Unofficial Championship that had been in operation until that time. The new top division is the Scottish Premiership. Traditionally the championship has been dominated by teams from the Borders region, the sport's hotbed of popularity in Scotland. This is illustrated by the most successful clubs in the championships history, with Hawick RFC possessing 13 titles and Melrose RFC currently holding eight titles. History For the history of the League championship before the 1973–74 season see: The Scottish Rugby Union created a formal six division championship from the 1973–74 season, the first within any home nations country. The union's full member clubs were allocated into the new divisions, an arrangement that suited some of the 'open' clubs but many of the older former pupils clubs found it difficult to compete successfully and were forced into going 'open' themselves in an attempt to attract the better players. The new open clubs retained their FP or Academical names and continued to play on school owned grounds whilst those who persisted with their founding membership rules declined or disappeared altogether. The Championship's impact on the national team was quickly apparent; with fewer players being selected from English clubs to represent Scotland. For the first time since the First World War, the domestic game was strong enough to produce an adequate number of players of genuine international class. The early decades of Championship rugby were dominated by Hawick who were crowned champions for 10 of the first 14 seasons. Heriot’s FP became the first 'Former Pupil' and 'City' club to win the Championship in 1979, they had already attracted "outsiders"; their leading try-scorer was Bill Gammell, a Fettesian already capped by the Scotland national rugby union team while playing for Edinburgh Wanderers. The first twenty years of Championship rugby saw large crowds and continued success, this period is largely considered the peak of domestic rugby union within Scotland to date. The early dominance of clubs in the Scottish Borders has faded in recent years with the rise of clubs from the Central Belt; especially Glasgow Hawks and Ayr RFC. During the Championships forty-year history the Scottish Rugby Union and its member clubs have re-organised the competition several times, usually revolving around the number of participants in certain divisions. A complementary knock-out cup competition was introduced from 1995 with Border clubs again dominating the competition, starting with Hawick defeating Watsonians in the inaugural final. Championship and Cup winners Championship titles by club Scottish Cup titles by club Leagues not part of the Scottish League Championship Certain leagues are not included in the system: The Border League, a historic and now supplementary competition involving clubs competing in the Championship The Grampian Alliance League, independent of the Championship (involving some 2nd XVs) The Highland Alliance League, also independent of the Championship (involving some 2nd XVs) In addition, competitive rugby at universities, and rugby for 2nd and 3rd XVs, is organised separately, and in the case of 2nd and 3rd XVs on something of an ad-hoc basis (there having been a number of splits from The Scottish 2nd XV League in recent years). Note that the larger universities run their first teams in both the Scottish Championship, and in the university leagues. See University Leagues in Scotland and 2nd XV Leagues in Scotland for further details. References External links

In mathematics, the Chevalley–Shephard–Todd theorem in invariant theory of finite groups states that the ring of invariants of a finite group acting on a complex vector space is a polynomial ring if and only if the group is generated by pseudoreflections. In the case of subgroups of the complex general linear group the theorem was first proved by who gave a case-by-case proof. soon afterwards gave a uniform proof. It has been extended to finite linear groups over an arbitrary field in the non-modular case by Jean-Pierre Serre. Statement of the theorem Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field K and let G be a finite subgroup of the general linear group GL(V). An element s of GL(V) is called a pseudoreflection if it fixes a codimension 1 subspace of V and is not the identity transformation I, or equivalently, if the kernel Ker (s − I) has codimension one in V. Assume that the order of G is relatively prime to the characteristic of K (the so-called non-modular case). Then the following properties are equivalent: (A) The group G is generated by pseudoreflections. (B) The algebra of invariants K[V]G is a (free) polynomial algebra. (B) The algebra of invariants K[V]G is a regular ring. (C) The algebra K[V] is a free module over K[V]G. (C) The algebra K[V] is a projective module over K[V]G. In the case when the field K is the field C of complex numbers, the first condition is usually stated as "G is a complex reflection group". Shephard and Todd derived a full classification of such groups. Examples Let V be one-dimensional. Then any finite group faithfully acting on V is a subgroup of the multiplicative group of the field K, and hence a cyclic group. It follows that G consists of roots of unity of order dividing n, where n is its order, so G is generated by pseudoreflections. In this case, K[V] = K[x] is the polynomial ring in one variable and the algebra of invariants of G is the subalgebra generated by xn, hence it is a polynomial algebra. Let V = Kn be the standard n-dimensional vector space and G be the symmetric group Sn acting by permutations of the elements of the standard basis. The symmetric group is generated by transpositions (ij), which act by reflections on V. On the other hand, by the main theorem of symmetric functions, the algebra of invariants is the polynomial algebra generated by the elementary symmetric functions e1, ... en. Let V = K2 and G be the cyclic group of order 2 acting by ±I. In this case, G is not generated by pseudoreflections, since the nonidentity element s of G acts without fixed points, so that dim Ker (s − I) = 0. On the other hand, the algebra of invariants is the subalgebra of K[V] = K[x, y] generated by the homogeneous elements x2, xy, and y2 of degree 2. This subalgebra is not a polynomial algebra because of the relation x2y2 = (xy)2. Generalizations gave an extension of the Chevalley–Shephard–Todd theorem to positive characteristic. There has been much work on the question of when a reductive algebraic group acting on a vector space has a polynomial ring of invariants. In the case when the algebraic group is simple all cases when the invariant ring is polynomial have been classified by In general, the ring of invariants of a finite group acting linearly on a complex vector space is Cohen-Macaulay, so it is a finite rank free module over a polynomial subring.

István Szőts (June 30, 1912 – November 6, 1998) was a Hungarian screenwriter and film director. He was born in Szentgyörgyválya (now Valea Sângeorgiului, Călan, Romania), and later moved with his father to Hungary. Szőts studied fine arts at the painting school of the two masters, Aba-Novák Vilmos and Iványi-Grünwald Béla. In 1939 he worked at Hunnia, where he was assistant to director Lajos Zilahy. Activity He is best known for his 1942 film People of the Mountains which won first prize at the Venice Biennale. Szőts became an assistant director in 1940, and in 1942 made his first feature film People of the Mountains. Although widely acclaimed by critics, it was disapproved of by Hungary's ruling wartime government and Szőts had trouble securing backing for his future projects. It wasn't until 1947 that he was able to make his second feature film Song of the Cornfields.
