Taru Rinne (born 27 August 1968 in Turku) is a Finnish former professional motorcycle racer. She was the first woman to achieve points in Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
Career
Karting
Rinne started her racing career in karting, competing against future Formula One drivers Mika Häkkinen, Mika Salo and Jyrki Järvilehto on multiple occasions. She won the Finnish Karting Championship in the 85cc class in 1979, ahead of Häkkinen. In 1980, she finished second behind Salo and ahead of Häkkinen who was fourth. She battled with Häkkinen again in 1981, and this time finished second in the series with Häkkinen becoming the champion. The next year Rinne won the series again and Häkkinen had to settle with second place. In 1983, she also finished first in the championship but was disqualified from the last race due to illegal fuel. Thus the title went to Häkkinen. She was also given a personal one-year ban from racing, which eventually ended her promising career in karting.
Road Racing
Despite her success on four wheels, Rinne decided to switch to motorcycles and debuted in the Road Racing World Championship, now known as MotoGP, in 1988. With her Honda bike she qualified second for the 125cc class GP at Hockenheim in 1989 and managed to lead the race for a while. She eventually finished seventh bettering her earlier eighth place at Assen. This was to remain her best ever result, as she got into a bad accident at Paul Ricard. While recovering from the accident, she got a letter from Bernie Ecclestone, who at the time decided which riders are allowed to compete in the series. The letter said that she is not qualified to compete next season. This ended her career at top-level and Rinne later said that the letter was the biggest disappointment of her life.

The Space Shuttle thermal protection system (TPS) is the barrier that protected the Space Shuttle Orbiter during the searing heat of atmospheric reentry. A secondary goal was to protect from the heat and cold of space while in orbit.
Materials
The TPS covered essentially the entire orbiter surface, and consisted of seven different materials in varying locations based on amount of required heat protection:
Reinforced carbon–carbon (RCC), used in the nose cap, the chin area between the nose cap and nose landing gear doors, the arrowhead aft of the nose landing gear door, and the wing leading edges. Used where reentry temperature exceeded .
High-temperature reusable surface insulation (HRSI) tiles, used on the orbiter underside. Made of coated LI-900 silica ceramics. Used where reentry temperature was below 1,260 °C.
Fibrous refractory composite insulation (FRCI) tiles, used to provide improved strength, durability, resistance to coating cracking and weight reduction. Some HRSI tiles were replaced by this type.
Flexible Insulation Blankets (FIB), a quilted, flexible blanket-like surface insulation. Used where reentry temperature was below .
Low-temperature Reusable Surface Insulation (LRSI) tiles, formerly used on the upper fuselage, but were mostly replaced by FIB. Used in temperature ranges roughly similar to FIB.
Toughened unipiece fibrous insulation (TUFI) tiles, a stronger, tougher tile which came into use in 1996. Used in high and low temperature areas.
Felt reusable surface insulation (FRSI). White Nomex felt blankets on the upper payload bay doors, portions of the mid fuselage and aft fuselage sides, portions of the upper wing surface and a portion of the OMS/RCS pods. Used where temperatures stayed below .
Each type of TPS had specific heat protection, impact resistance, and weight characteristics, which determined the locations where it was used and the amount used.
The shuttle TPS had three key characteristics that distinguished it from the TPS used on previous spacecraft:
Reusable Previous spacecraft generally used ablative heat shields which burned off during reentry and so could not be reused. This insulation was robust and reliable, and the single-use nature was appropriate for a single-use vehicle. By contrast, the reusable shuttle required a reusable thermal protection system.
Lightweight Previous ablative heat shields were very heavy. For example, the ablative heat shield on the Apollo Command Module comprised about 15% of the vehicle weight. The winged shuttle had much more surface area than previous spacecraft, so a lightweight TPS was crucial.
Fragile The only known technology in the early 1970s with the required thermal and weight characteristics was also so fragile, due to the very low density, that one could easily crush a TPS tile by hand.
Purpose
[[File:Ststpstile.jpg|thumb|Discovery'''s under wing surfaces are protected by thousands of High-Temperature Reusable Insulation tiles.]]
The orbiter's aluminium structure could not withstand temperatures over without structural failure.
Aerodynamic heating during reentry would push the temperature well above this level in areas, so an effective insulator was needed.
Reentry heating
Reentry heating differs from the normal atmospheric heating associated with jet aircraft, and this governed TPS design and characteristics. The skin of high-speed jet aircraft can also become hot, but this is from frictional heating due to atmospheric friction, similar to warming one's hands by rubbing them together. The orbiter reentered the atmosphere as a blunt body by having a very high (40°) angle of attack, with its broad lower surface facing the direction of flight. Over 80% of the heating the orbiter experiences during reentry is caused by compression of the air ahead of the hypersonic vehicle, in accordance with the basic thermodynamic relation between pressure and temperature. A hot shock wave was created in front of the vehicle, which deflected most of the heat and prevented the orbiter's surface from directly contacting the peak heat. Therefore, reentry heating was largely convective heat transfer between the shock wave and the orbiter's skin through superheated plasma. The key to a reusable shield against this type of heating is very low-density material, similar to how a thermos bottle inhibits convective heat transfer.
Some high-temperature metal alloys can withstand reentry heat; they simply get hot and re-radiate the absorbed heat. This technique, called heat sink thermal protection, was planned for the X-20 Dyna-Soar winged space vehicle. However, the amount of high-temperature metal required to protect a large vehicle like the Space Shuttle Orbiter would have been very heavy and entailed a severe penalty to the vehicle's performance. Similarly, ablative TPS would be heavy, possibly disturb vehicle aerodynamics as it burned off during reentry, and require significant maintenance to reapply after each mission. (Unfortunately, TPS tile, which was originally specified never to take debris strikes during launch, in practice also needed to be closely inspected and repaired after each landing, due to damage invariably incurred during ascent, even before new on-orbit inspection policies were established following the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia.)
Detailed description
The TPS was a system of different protection types, not just silica tiles. They are in two basic categories: tile TPS and non-tile TPS. The main selection criteria used the lightest weight protection capable of handling the heat in a given area. However, in some cases a heavier type was used if additional impact resistance was needed. The FIB blankets were primarily adopted for reduced maintenance, not for thermal or weight reasons.
Much of the shuttle was covered with LI-900 silica tiles, made from essentially very pure quartz sand. The insulation prevented heat transfer to the underlying orbiter aluminium skin and structure. These tiles were such poor heat conductors that one could hold one by the edges while it was still red hot.
There were about 24,300 unique tiles individually fitted on the vehicle, for which the orbiter has been called "the flying brickyard". Researchers at University of Minnesota and Pennsylvania State University are performing the atomistic simulations to obtain accurate description of interactions between atomic and molecular oxygen with silica surfaces to develop better high-temperature oxidation-protection systems for leading edges on hypersonic vehicles.
The tiles were not mechanically fastened to the vehicle, but glued. Since the brittle tiles could not flex with the underlying vehicle skin, they were glued to Nomex felt Strain Isolation Pads (SIPs) with room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone adhesive, which were in turn glued to the orbiter skin. These isolated the tiles from the orbiter's structural deflections and expansions. Gluing on the 24,300 tiles required nearly two man-years of work for every flight, partly due to the fact that the glue dried quickly and new batches needed to be produced after every couple of tiles. An ad-hoc remedy that involved technicians spitting in the glue to slow down the drying process was common practice until 1988, when a tile-hazard study revealed that spit weakened the adhesive's bonding strength.
Tile types
High-temperature reusable surface insulation (HRSI)
The black HRSI tiles provided protection against temperatures up to . There were 20,548 HRSI tiles which covered the landing gear doors, external tank umbilical connection doors, and the rest of the orbiter's under surfaces. They were also used in areas on the upper forward fuselage, parts of the orbital maneuvering system pods, vertical stabilizer leading edge, elevon trailing edges, and upper body flap surface. They varied in thickness from , depending upon the heat load encountered during reentry. Except for closeout areas, these tiles were normally square. The HRSI tile was composed of high purity silica fibers. Ninety percent of the volume of the tile was empty space, giving it a very low density () making it light enough for spaceflight. The uncoated tiles were bright white in appearance and looked more like a solid ceramic than the foam-like material that they were.
The black coating on the tiles was Reaction Cured Glass (RCG) of which tetraboron silicide and borosilicate glass were some of several ingredients. RCG was applied to all but one side of the tile to protect the porous silica and to increase the heat sink properties. The coating was absent from a small margin of the sides adjacent to the uncoated (bottom) side. To waterproof the tile, dimethylethoxysilane was injected into the tiles by syringe. Densifying the tile with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) also helped to protect the silica and added additional waterproofing.
An uncoated HRSI tile held in the hand feels like a very light foam, less dense than styrofoam, and the delicate, friable material must be handled with extreme care to prevent damage. The coating feels like a thin, hard shell and encapsulates the white insulating ceramic to resolve its friability, except on the uncoated side. Even a coated tile feels very light, lighter than a same-sized block of styrofoam. As expected for silica, they are odorless and inert.
HRSI was primarily designed to withstand transition from areas of extremely low temperature (the void of space, about ) to the high temperatures of re-entry (caused by interaction, mostly compression at the hypersonic shock, between the gases of the upper atmosphere & the hull of the Space Shuttle, typically around ).
Fibrous Refractory Composite Insulation Tiles (FRCI)
The black FRCI tiles provided improved durability, resistance to coating cracking and weight reduction. Some HRSI tiles were replaced by this type.
Toughened unipiece fibrous insulation (TUFI)
A stronger, tougher tile which came into use in 1996. TUFI tiles came in high temperature black versions for use in the orbiter's underside, and lower temperature white versions for use on the upper body. While more impact resistant than other tiles, white versions conducted more heat which limited their use to the orbiter's upper body flap and main engine area. Black versions had sufficient heat insulation for the orbiter underside but had greater weight. These factors restricted their use to specific areas.
Low-temperature reusable surface insulation (LRSI)
White in color, these covered the upper wing near the leading edge. They were also used in selected areas of the forward, mid, and aft fuselage, vertical tail, and the OMS/RCS pods. These tiles protected areas where reentry temperatures are below . The LRSI tiles were manufactured in the same manner as the HRSI tiles, except that the tiles were square and had a white RCG coating made of silica compounds with shiny aluminium oxide. The white color was by design and helped to manage heat on orbit when the orbiter was exposed to direct sunlight.
These tiles were reusable for up to 100 missions with refurbishment (100 missions was also the design lifetime of each orbiter). They were carefully inspected in the Orbiter Processing Facility after each mission, and damaged or worn tiles were immediately replaced before the next mission. Fabric sheets known as gap fillers were also inserted between tiles where necessary. These allowed for a snug fit between tiles, preventing excess plasma from penetrating between them, yet allowing for thermal expansion and flexing of the underlying vehicle skin.
Prior to the introduction of FIB blankets, LRSI tiles occupied all of the areas now covered by the blankets, including the upper fuselage and the whole surface of the OMS pods. This TPS configuration was only used on Columbia and Challenger.
Non-tile TPS
Flexible Insulation Blankets/Advanced Flexible Reusable Insulation (FIB/AFRSI)
Developed after the initial delivery of Columbia and first used on the OMS pods of Challenger. This white low-density fibrous silica batting material had a quilt-like appearance, and replaced the vast majority of the LRSI tiles. They required much less maintenance than LRSI tiles yet had about the same thermal properties. After their limited use on Challenger, they were used much more extensively beginning with Discovery and replaced many of the LRSI tiles on Columbia after the loss of Challenger.
Reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC)
The light gray material which withstood reentry temperatures up to protected the wing leading edges and nose cap. Each of the orbiters' wings had 22 RCC panels about thick. T-seals between each panel allowed for thermal expansion and lateral movement between these panels and the wing.
RCC was a laminated composite material made from carbon fibres impregnated with a phenolic resin. After curing at high temperature in an autoclave, the laminate was pyrolized to convert the resin to pure carbon. This was then impregnated with furfural alcohol in a vacuum chamber, then cured and pyrolized again to convert the furfural alcohol to carbon. This process was repeated three times until the desired carbon-carbon properties were achieved.
To provide oxidation resistance for reuse capability, the outer layers of the RCC were coated with silicon carbide. The silicon-carbide coating protected the carbon-carbon from oxidation. The RCC was highly resistant to fatigue loading that was experienced during ascent and entry. It was stronger than the tiles and was also used around the socket of the forward attach point of the orbiter to the External Tank to accommodate the shock loads of the explosive bolt detonation. RCC was the only TPS material that also served as structural support for part of the orbiter's aerodynamic shape: the wing leading edges and the nose cap. All other TPS components (tiles and blankets) were mounted onto structural materials that supported them, mainly the aluminium frame and skin of the orbiter.
Nomex Felt Reusable Surface Insulation (FRSI)
This white, flexible fabric offered protection at up to . FRSI covered the orbiter's upper wing surfaces, upper payload bay doors, portions of the OMS/RCS pods, and aft fuselage.
Gap fillers
Gap fillers were placed at doors and moving surfaces to minimize heating by preventing the formation of vortices. Doors and moving surfaces created open gaps in the heat protection system that had to be protected from heat. Some of these gaps were safe, but there were some areas on the heat shield where surface pressure gradients caused a crossflow of boundary layer air in those gaps.
The filler materials were made of either white AB312 fibers or black AB312 cloth covers (which contain alumina fibers). These materials were used around the leading edge of the nose cap, windshields, side hatch, wing, trailing edge of elevons, vertical stabilizer, the rudder/speed brake, body flap, and heat shield of the shuttle's main engines.
On STS-114, some of this material was dislodged and determined to pose a potential safety risk. It was possible that the gap filler could cause turbulent airflow further down the fuselage, which would result in much higher heating, potentially damaging the orbiter. The cloth was removed during a spacewalk during the mission.
Weight considerations
While reinforced carbon–carbon had the best heat protection characteristics, it was also much heavier than the silica tiles and FIBs, so it was limited to relatively small areas. In general the goal was to use the lightest weight insulation consistent with the required thermal protection. Density of each TPS type:
Total area and weight of each TPS type (used on Orbiter 102, pre-1996):
Early TPS problems
Slow tile application
Tiles often fell off and caused much of the delay in the launch of STS-1, the first shuttle mission, which was originally scheduled for 1979 but did not occur until April 1981. NASA was unused to lengthy delays in its programs, and was under great pressure from the government and military to launch soon. In March 1979 it moved the incomplete Columbia, with 7,800 of the 31,000 tiles missing, from the Rockwell International plant in Palmdale, California to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Beyond creating the appearance of progress in the program, NASA hoped that the tiling could be finished while the rest of the orbiter was prepared. This was a mistake; some of the Rockwell tilers disliked Florida and soon returned to California, and the Orbiter Processing Facility was not designed for manufacturing and was too small for its 400 workers.
Each tile used cement that required 16 hours to cure. After the tile was affixed to the cement, a jack held it in place for another 16 hours. In March 1979 it took each worker 40 hours to install one tile; by using young, efficient college students during the summer the pace sped up to 1.8 tiles per worker per week. Thousands of tiles failed stress tests and had to be replaced. By fall NASA realized that the speed of tiling would determine the launch date. The tiles were so problematic that officials would have switched to any other thermal protection method, but none other existed.
Because it had to be ferried without all tiles the gaps were filled with material to maintain the Shuttle's aerodynamics while in transit.
Concern over "zipper effect"
The tile TPS was an area of concern during shuttle development, mainly concerning adhesion reliability. Some engineers thought a failure mode could exist whereby one tile could detach, and resulting aerodynamic pressure would create a "zipper effect" stripping off other tiles. Whether during ascent or reentry, the result would be disastrous.
Concern over debris strikes
Another problem was ice or other debris impacting the tiles during ascent. This had never been fully and thoroughly solved, as the debris had never been eliminated, and the tiles remained susceptible to damage from it. NASA's final strategy for mitigating this problem was to aggressively inspect for, assess, and address any damage that may occur, while on orbit and before reentry, in addition to on the ground between flights.
Early tile repair plans
These concerns were sufficiently great that NASA did significant work developing an emergency-use tile repair kit which the STS-1 crew could use before deorbiting. By December 1979, prototypes and early procedures were completed, most of which involved equipping the astronauts with a special in-space repair kit and a jet pack called the Manned Maneuvering Unit, or MMU, developed by Martin Marietta.
Another element was a maneuverable work platform which would secure an MMU-propelled spacewalking astronaut to the fragile tiles beneath the orbiter. The concept used electrically controlled adhesive cups which would lock the work platform into position on the featureless tile surface. About one year before the 1981 STS-1 launch, NASA decided the repair capability was not worth the additional risk and training, so discontinued development. There were unresolved problems with the repair tools and techniques; also further tests indicated the tiles were unlikely to come off. The first shuttle mission did suffer several tile losses, but they were in non-critical areas, and no "zipper effect" occurred.
Columbia accident and aftermath
On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia was destroyed on reentry due to a failure of the TPS. The investigation team found and reported that the probable cause of the accident was that during launch, a piece of foam debris punctured an RCC panel on the left wing's leading edge and allowed hot gases from the reentry to enter the wing and disintegrate the wing from within, leading to eventual loss of control and breakup of the shuttle.
The Space Shuttle's thermal protection system received a number of controls and modifications after the disaster. They were applied to the three remaining shuttles, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour in preparation for subsequent mission launches into space.
On 2005's STS-114 mission, in which Discovery made the first flight to follow the Columbia accident, NASA took a number of steps to verify that the TPS was undamaged. The Orbiter Boom Sensor System, a new extension to the Remote Manipulator System, was used to perform laser imaging of the TPS to inspect for damage. Prior to docking with the International Space Station, Discovery performed a Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver, simply a 360° backflip rotation, allowing all areas of the vehicle to be photographed from ISS. Two gap fillers were protruding from the orbiter's underside more than the nominally allowed distance, and the agency cautiously decided it would be best to attempt to remove the fillers or cut them flush rather than risk the increased heating they would cause. Even though each one protruded less than , it was believed that leaving them could cause heating increases of 25% upon reentry.
Because the orbiter did not have any handholds on its underside (as they would cause much more trouble with reentry heating than the protruding gap fillers of concern), astronaut Stephen K. Robinson worked from the ISS's robotic arm, Canadarm2. Because the TPS tiles were quite fragile, there had been concern that anyone working under the vehicle could cause more damage to the vehicle than was already there, but NASA officials felt that leaving the gap fillers alone was a greater risk. In the event, Robinson was able to pull the gap fillers free by hand, and caused no damage to the TPS on Discovery.
Tile donations
, with the impending Space Shuttle retirement, NASA is donating TPS tiles to schools, universities, and museums for the cost of shipping—US$23.40 each. About 7000 tiles were available on a first-come, first-served basis, but limited to one each per institution.

Jerry De La Cruz (born 1948) is an American fine artist born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He currently works out of his studio in the Santa Fe District in Denver, Colorado, and out of his studio in the Little River District in Miami, Florida.
Work
"De La Cruz is a painter, a sculptor and a photographer. His work often combines mediums, but invariably is grounded in exquisite control and fine craftsmanship. He is among many well-known Denver artists, but is the only one whose work 'slaps you in the face and doesn't let you go.' It's definitely not safe. Realistically rendered human figures abound, as varied as reality, but rarely left in their realistic settings. They may be painted, drawn, photographed, sculpted, assembled or digitally manipulated, are most often juxtaposed against surreal settings, and always convey more than their physical characteristics. Each work is surprisingly different from the last and cannot, grouped together, be placed in any single category or style, beyond the fact that all are totally accessible, recognizable and without need for any knowledge for a meaningful interaction with the viewer.”
“De La Cruz's mastery of formal and experimental techniques reflects a career dedicated to creative probing and discipline. It is rare indeed to come into contact with an artist who so successfully ranges from abstraction to surrealism in single canvases. Themes of personal identity and interpersonal responsiveness are layered into his work, allowing the viewer to share in the artist's process of questioning the relationships of his subjects to the world. The insights that develop in his works are universal in their ability to connect the reflective with the informative.”
Artist
De La Cruz is listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century (Denver Post survey of regional curators). His is the only Spanish surname. At the first International Latino Art Auction held in Phoenix, AZ, in conjunction with Sotheby's (2003), De La Cruz proved to be the bestselling artist of the auction and drew the highest auction price for a single work. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building (2007). He was the recipient of back-to-back artist residency grants from Colorado in his early career and also received their very last painting fellowship in 2000. For a spell in 2006, works by De La Cruz were included in three unrelated art museum exhibits in Denver (the Denver Art Museum, El Museo, and the Mizel). Other honors include the award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and an appointment to Denver's Commission on Arts and Culture.
Teaching/board participation
De La Cruz taught one class per week in drawing or painting at the Art Students League of Denver from 1987 through 2002. He also served on its board of directors from 1999-2002 as well as the board's faculty liaison during that time. In his earlier career, he also taught at his alma mater, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, as well as The Art Institute of Colorado. He was also appointed to serve as the (sole) fine artist on the Denver Commission on Cultural Affairs in 2005 and continues to serve on the Board of Directors of the Marble Institute of Colorado.

Sol Liptzin (July 27, 1901 – November 15, 1995) was a scholar, writer, and educator in Yiddish and German literature.
Life
Liptzin was born in Sataniv, Russian Empire, and moved to New York at the age of nine. He graduated from City College of New York and did postgraduate work at the University of Berlin. He earned a master's degree and Ph.D. at Columbia University. His doctoral advisor was Robert Herndon Fife.
His stay in Berlin interested him in the romantic movement in 19th-century German literature.
Starting in 1923, Liptzin taught at City College. From 1943 to 1958 he served as the chairman of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies. He convinced college officials that Yiddish is a Germanic language laced with Hebrew and Russian, and that it should be taught as such in college.
He was active in Jewish affairs and was the honorary president of the Jewish Book Council of America, the editor of the Jewish Book Annual (1953–1956), departmental editor for German literature in the Encyclopaedia Judaica, the National Chairman of the Jewish State Zionists of America, the Academic Secretary of YIVO, and President of the College Yiddish Association. He was a visiting professor at Yeshiva University from 1929 to 1940.
In 1962, he moved to Israel, where he taught at Tel Aviv University (1962–1963) and the Technion (1962–1966), where he founded the humanities program.
He was a founder of Bar-Ilan University and the Jerusalem University College and taught at both.
He died on 15 November 1995 in a hospital in Jerusalem.

This is a list of rivers of England, organised geographically and taken anti-clockwise around the English coast where the various rivers discharge into the surrounding seas, from the Solway Firth on the Scottish border to the Welsh Dee on the Welsh border, and again from the Wye on the Welsh border anti-clockwise to the Tweed on the Scottish border.
Tributaries are listed down the page in an upstream direction, i.e. the first tributary listed is closest to the sea, and tributaries of tributaries are treated similarly. Thus, in the first catchment below, the River Sark is the lowermost tributary of the Border Esk and the Hether Burn is the lowermost tributary of the River Lyne. The main stem (or principal) river of a catchment is labelled as (MS), left-bank tributaries are indicated by (L), right-bank tributaries by (R). Note that in general usage, the 'left (or right) bank of a river' refers to the left (or right) hand bank, as seen when looking downstream. Where a named river derives from the confluence of two differently named rivers these are labelled as (Ls) and (Rs) for the left and right forks (the rivers on the left and right, relative to an observer facing downstream). A prime example is the River Tyne (MS), the confluence of the South Tyne (Rs) and the North Tyne (Ls) near Hexham. Those few watercourses (mainly in the Thames catchment) which branch off a major channel and then rejoin it or another watercourse further downstream are known as distributaries or anabranches and are labelled (d).
The list will encompass most of the main rivers of England (as defined by the Environment Agency) and which includes those named watercourses for which the Environment Agency has a flood defence function. Many rivers and streams which are not classed as 'main rivers' also appear. Some minor watercourses are included in the list, especially if they are named as 'river'- such examples may be labelled (m).
For simplicity, they are divided here by the coastal sections within which each river system discharges to the sea. In the case of the rivers which straddle the borders with Scotland and Wales, such as the Border Esk, Tweed, Dee, Severn and Wye, only those tributaries which lie at least partly in England are included.

Hanne Krogh (born 24 January 1956) is a Norwegian singer and actress from Haugesund and Oslo. Krogh is among the most selling record artists in Norway ever and is internationally well known for winning the Eurovision Song Contest 1985 with Elisabeth Andreassen in the group Bobbysocks!.
Personal life
She is the mother of television presenter Sverre Krogh Sundbø and actress Amalie Krogh.
Career
She officially started singing when she was 9 years old, and released her first album when she was 14.
She represented Norway with the song "Lykken er" in the 1971 Eurovision Song Contest.
She has received major acclaim through Norwegian awards. Among them are numerous Spellemann (Norwegian Grammy) including the Honorary Award, and the Peer Gynt Prize, which is awarded by members of the Parliament to those Norwegians who have done the most to gain Norway's reputation abroad. In addition to her own projects, she is also frequently asked to act as MC at conventions, often in relation to female entrepreneurship.
In 2012, she toured Norway with two major sold-out shows that she had written and directed. She also made numerous television appearances. In 2013, Hanne decided to mark the 100-year anniversary of women's suffrage in Norway by focusing toward violence against women, and brought to light of unknown admirable women. This also included recording a new studio album Ikke gi deg, jente.
In 2015, her new-written show "World of Music" gained another standing ovation, both from the audience and from the critics.
Krogh has released 27 albums, including a compilation, Hanne Krogh: 40 beste in 1994, and many other singles.

The World Opponent Network (WON) operated in its original form, more or less, from 1996 until about 2001. WON then went through many changes until the last of the WON-based game servers shut down in 2008. See the main WON article for its complex history after 2000.
WON provided features for online game serversprimarily for multiplayer gamesfor matchmaking and chat. Games that used these features were tagged as "WON Enabled" in the WON downloads database. While this database ultimately included hundreds of titles regardless of WON capabilities, this is a list of only the WON-enabled titles (with some exceptions as noted below).
A sister feature of WON, called "WONswap," allowed for user-created DLC sharing. While many titles supported by WONswap were also WON enabled, this was not always the case and this list does not include WONswap-only titles. For example, StarCraft is not in this list because, even though it appeared on WONswap, the game itself was served by Battle.net instead of WON.
Retail games
Most of these games used WON game servers to enable online multiplayer capabilities. A few, however, such as Shivers II, just used some of the other WON features such as chat (for chatting while playing solo) and puzzle sharing. This list also includes WON-enabled demos of retail games that were, essentially, free online multiplayer mini-games.
While chess.net for Windows (1999) is a retail game that was linked to from WON.net (eventually replacing/outlasting Power Chess), it is not included in the list below because there is no indication that any chess.net products were WON enabled.
Nested references from notes above: * † ‡ **
Announced retail games
Games announced as coming to WON.net but never appeared.

Skiing, 1999 Edition (1998) Sierra Sports
Shanghai: Dynasty (1997) Activision
Shanghai: Second Dynasty (1999) Activision
Heavy Gear II (1999) Activision
Free games
This is a list of all free/ad-supported, browser-based/download-on-demand games that were featured on WON.net. Some are WON enabled (such as ARC and Silencer); some not (such as the single-player "Quick Games"); some difficult to tell after the fact. Hence, all free games are included here as the list is not very long.
The PrizeCentral.com games are not listed here (which could be the topic of its own list). Likewise, games that appeared after the breakup of WON.net into to Flipside.com and, later, UPROAR.com also are not listed here. These games came with the acquisition of WON.net by Havas (who had also acquired PrizeCentral.com and other properties). It is not known that any of these later Havas-acquired games are WON enabled.
The instant messaging games are not included here (which appeared in download.won.net in Sep 2000, and later on Flipside.com). Even though some like IM Backgammon are tagged as WON Enabled in the downloads database, they are built upon ICQ and not WON (and have no known WON components).
Hoyle retail games and Hoyle Channel
The Hoyle series of games evolved from retail to free on WON and, as such, are difficult to classify in the other lists here. Hoyle retail games started much like all the other retail games here until it was announced that the servers for the retail and demo versions would be shut down in favor of the new free versions. The new free versions were dubbed the "Hoyle Channel." It was also announced that future Hoyle retail games would work with the Hoyle Channel for online play--only with more features (such as choices for backgrounds and card graphics) plus the usual array of offline features and games. Thus, here is a detailed list of the retail releases, plus a simple list of the free games (due to version evolution of the free games being unknown, and staying in sync with the retail releases anyhow).
For the most part, bundles are not included in the list, but a-la-carte splits (Hoyle Bridge being a split from Hoyle Card Games for example) are included.

Greenville Triumph SC is a professional soccer team based in Greenville, South Carolina, United States. The club began play in USL League One in 2019.
History
The formation of USL D3 was first announced in April 2017, and league officials began touring the country looking for candidate cities for new soccer clubs. USL D3 vice president Steven Short visited Greenville in July 2017, and told local reporters at the time that Greenville was one of the league's top candidates. In January 2018, the league began announcing teams that would play in their 2019 inaugural season. The formation of a USL D3 club in Greenville was officially announced on March 13, 2018, with local entrepreneur Joe Erwin named as the principal owner. The Greenville team was the third team to join the league after Tormenta FC and FC Tucson, two clubs which already existed and played in the Premier Development League. The team qualified for the playoffs in their first year of existence.
The team's name, Greenville Triumph SC, as well as its logo and colors were announced on August 9, 2018. On August 27, the team announced that the team would be coached by former U.S. national team player John Harkes, who had previously served as head coach of USL club FC Cincinnati for the 2016 season. Harkes was signed on a three-year contract.
On June 8, 2021, GTSC announced they will be fielding a women's side to compete in the new USL W League beginning in 2022.
On January 28, 2022, GTSC officials announced that after a two year search for a new stadium location, they had settled on a six-acre site in Mauldin, South Carolina at Bridgeway Station. The proposed stadium would consist of 8,100 seats and be used as a multi-sport venue as well. If the stadium is approved by county officials, the project is expected to be completed by the opening of the 2023 season.
Sponsorship
Club culture
The Greenville Triumph's supporters group The Reedy River Riot began in earnest when members of their leadership began discussing strategies to create a professional soccer team in Greenville. A social media blitz of #usl2gvl and a Change.org petition in June 2017 began this process. The petition to “Bring Professional Soccer to Greenville” garnered over 900 signatures and caught the eye of the USL leadership and the local prospective ownership group. Their dream was fulfilled in March 2018 with the announcement that Greenville had been chosen as a founding member of the USL D3.
Throughout the conception and build out of the team, the initial membership of the Reedy River Riot began meeting to discuss our vision for a supporters group. Their leadership consists of a group of soccer fanatics based in and around Greenville who have served together in leadership positions within numerous soccer supporter groups in the past. They draw on these experiences to begin the story of the Riot.

The Lancashire and Cheshire Amateur Football League is an English association football league founded in 1909. As of the 2023/24 season, the league consists of seven divisions – Premier, One, Two and Three, then A, B and C. Historically the divisions named A-D were for Reserve sides of teams in the top four divisions, but 1st teams can now play at the lower levels. In 2023-24, three divisions now have this style of name. The Premier Division is (as of 2023) at level 14 in the English football league system, below the 3rd levels of the top county leagues in the area: Manchester League, Cheshire League and West Lancashire League.
About the League
The Lancashire and Cheshire Amateur Football League was founded in 1909. The league, as of 2016, is the biggest of the open age Saturday afternoon men's leagues in the region, having eight Saturday divisions in operation, and a few years earlier operated with nine. Clubs are from the Greater Manchester and northern Cheshire areas. The league is overseen by the local Football Association, the Manchester FA.
The league pioneered the Respect Charter in 2002. When the FA later adopted the Respect programme, the league was a pilot League for this. The launch took place at Chorltonians FC’s Police Club ground, Hough End.
One of the league’s success stories are Stalybridge Celtic, who started off as an amateur football club in the league before turning professional two years later. As of summer 2022, the most recent teams to move up to the next level are Stretford Paddock, who joined the Cheshire League, Chadderton Cott and De La Salle, who joined the Manchester League for 2022/23.
In 2017, it was a record-breaking season for the Mellor club, who collected a record 5 trophies - the first team winning the Premier Division and the Rhodes Cup, the reserve team the Div 2 title and the Wray Cup, with the club also winning the Aggregate Trophy.
Formation of the League
In 1909, a group of men met and in their own words decided to "Promote an Amateur League of high quality for players who pay to play the genuine sport; also to encourage competition against outside Leagues of similar outlook and standing to the mutual benefit of the amateur game." These "founding fathers" of the league included W. H. Rhodes, A. H. Downes, R. W. Lambert and E. Roscoe.
The first season
The 1909-10 season saw 11 teams join the league.
The first round of matches took place on Saturday 18 September 1909:
Brooklands v Westinghouse
Bolton Wyresdale v Lymm Amateurs
Werneth Amateurs v Denton Corinthians
Dukinfield Astley v Walkden Amateurs
The league made a profit of £19 17s at the end of the opening season. The first champions, Walkden Amateurs, finished two points clear of runners-up Stalybridge Celtic. Third place Bolton Wyresdale were seven points further behind. The league table ended with 1 game unplayed - Lymm Amateurs v Denton Corinthians. The league chairman said that Denton Corinthians "had not treated the league in a very good spirit" by not fulfilling the fixture.
After the season, Denton Corinthians disbanded, while Bolton Wyresdale moved on to the Manchester Section of the Lancashire Amateur League. Two new clubs were accepted for the following season - Nuthurst (Moston) and Manchester Simmarians. A third club was later accepted - Bolton Caledonians.
The league was said to have been so successful in its initial season, that a second division was to be launched for 1910-11.

A number of clubs that have left the league now play at a higher level.

True Comics is an educational comic book series published by The Parents' Institute, whose main publication was Parents' Magazine. The series ran for 84 issues, from April 1941 until August 1950, when Parents''' cancelled all of their comic book series. True Comics was the most successful, or at least longest-running educational comic book series, and spawned several imitators, including DC Comics' Real Fact Comics. The series embraced the motto of "truth is stranger than fiction" and attempted to demonstrate that children would prefer "real fact" stories over fictionalized ones. By its cancellation in 1950, Parents' had rolled at least 4 of its cancelled solo comics series into True Comics.
Publication history
George J. Hecht, founder and publisher of Parents' Magazine, introduced True Comics in the aftermath of an attack on comic books by Sterling North, a children's author. In his position as a columnist at the Chicago Daily News, North published an invective against comic books titled "A National Disgrace", where he referred to comic books as "graphic insanity" and "sex-horror serials". Charging parents and teachers with "breaking the comic book", North suggested that children be furnished with proper works of literature to dissuade them from reading comic books.
Clara Savage Littledale, an editor at Parents', introduced the series as part of a March 1941 article titled "What To Do About the 'Comics'?" True Comics, close to North's intentions, was to provide a wholesome substitute of a comic book for children. In the introduction to True Comics #1, Hecht wrote: True Comics was also one of, if not the first comic book series to have an editorial board overseeing its content. As historian Jill Lepore said in her work The Secret History of Wonder Woman, "...what really set True Comics apart was that it was overseen by an editorial advisory board of experts: professors, especially historians, educators, and even the public-opinion pollster George Gallup".
Reception
Joe Simon, a contemporary of True Comics who drew some newspaper-syndicated stories for the comic during World War II referred to the main comic art of True Comics'' as "dull and graphically static".

"Honey Don't Leave L.A." is a song written by Danny Kortchmar. It was first recorded by Attitudes, a band consisting of Kortchmar, Paul Stallworth, Jim Keltner and David Foster, who met while backing George Harrison on his album Extra Texture (Read All About It). It was released on Attitudes' self-titled debut album in 1976. It was also released as a promotional single on Harrison's Dark Horse Records label.
The lyrics of "Honey Don't Leave L.A." are a plea to an "errant paramour." Following a live solo performance in 2013, Kortchmar noted that he "was trying to be sensitive. We were all trying to be sensitive back then."
"Honey Don't Leave L.A." was later covered by James Taylor, for whom it became a minor hit. Taylor included his version of "Honey Don't Leave L.A." on his 1977 album JT. David Sanborn played saxophone on the track. It was also released as the third single from the album, following "Handy Man" and "Your Smiling Face," which both reached the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Released more than six months after "Your Smiling Face" in February 1978. the "Honey Don't Leave L.A." single did not perform as well, peaking at #61. It also reached #63 in Canada.
Background
Kortchmar, who played guitar on Taylor's JT album encouraged Taylor to record "Honey Don't Leave L.A." Kortchmar later told Musician that he regretted having encouraged Taylor to record "more rock 'n' roll songs like 'Honey Don't Leave L.A.'" because that was not Taylor's forte. However, Taylor enjoyed recording the song, and his recording received praise from critics. Taylor biographer Timothy White described it as "humorous" and as "one of JTs best uptempo tracks." Billboard described it as the "funkiest" of JTs three singles. Billboard particularly praised Sanborn's saxophone for adding to the track's "enthusiasm" and the "playful" way Taylor sang some French phrases, comparing his approach to the way Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder incorporated French phrases into contemporary recordings. Cash Box said that it "gets funky" with "snappy guitar work, stepping beat and gritty sax solo." Rolling Stone critic Peter Herbst describes the song as "seething" and praises Taylor as "a pretty convincing rock singer" on the track. Herbst particularly praises Taylor's "rough" and "authoritative" singing on the line "They don't know nothing down in St. Tropez." Authors Don and Jeff Breithaupt described it as "chunky, soulful rock." Seattle Post-Intelligencer critic James Arellano described it as a "fun and unexpected selection" from the compilation album The Essential James Taylor.
"Honey Don't Leave L.A." became a popular song in Taylor's live concerts, often with Sanborn playing saxophone. Taylor played the song as part of his set for the No Nukes concert at Madison Square Garden in September 1979, and it was included in the 1980 live album of the concert. Juan Rodriguez of The Montreal Gazette called the song one of the highlights of the album. AllMusic critic William Ruhlmann lamented the exclusion of "Honey Don't Leave L.A." from Taylor's 2000 compilation album Greatest Hits Volume 2, but the song was included on the 2013 compilation album The Essential James Taylor.

Annabelle Huggins (born 1943) is a retired Filipino actress. In 1964 she starred alongside Jack Nicholson in Back Door to Hell, and later became famous when she was kidnapped by taxi driver Ruben Ablaza.
Early life
Annabelle was born to an American-Filipino father and Filipino mother. She was later raised by her aunt and uncle along with her siblings, wherein her aunt treated her as her own child. In 1958 she dropped out of high school to work in a billiard hall where she met Ruben Ablaza.
Career
She debuted in the movie Adonis Abril (1963) with Nestor De Villa, Back Door to Hell with Jack Nicholson (her Hollywood debut), and also Siyam na Buhay ni Martin Pusa (1964) with Joseph Estrada.
Kidnapping
On 13 October 1962, 19-year-old Huggins reported that she was taken against her will to Hagonoy, Bulacan and defiled of her honor by Ruben Ablaza, a portly taxi driver, who plotted the abduction with two others, Lauro Ocampo and Jose "Totoy Pulis" Leoncio. The incident was repeated on 22 March 1963, and this time, Huggins was reportedly kidnapped from Makati and taken first to Caloocan and then to Bulacan, a more serious offense.
Trial
When Ablaza was apprehended and tried in court, he contended that the two were in love, that she freely went with him and what he did "was the vogue of the time". The most awaited part of the trial was when the principal witness, Huggins, testified before Fiscal Pascual Kliatchko and a curious courtroom crowd.
In 1969 Ablaza claimed that he and Annabelle were a couple. Ablaza and the two men were found guilty for kidnapping and rape, and were sentenced to death. While the two men were executed, Ablaza's death sentence was cancelled by then-sitting president Ferdinand Marcos twice and reduced to life imprisonment. He spent most of his life imprisoned in New Bilibid Prison until his release in the late 1990s.
Shortly after his release, Ablaza died of natural causes.
Portrayals
Two movies twice portrayed her. In 1963 came Ang Mananaggol ni Ruben with Mario Montenegro as Abalaza and Lolita Rodriguez as Huggins. In 1995 Director Carlo J. Caparas made Annabelle Huggins Story - Ruben Ablaza Tragedy: Mea Culpa starting Cesar Montano as Ablaza and Dawn Zulueta as Huggins. The real Ruben Ablaza appears as himself still serving his life sentence at the end of the film.

(1675–1763) was a Japanese Buddhist monk of the Ōbaku school of Zen Buddhism, who became famous for traveling around Kyoto selling tea. The veneration of Baisao during and after his lifetime helped to popularize sencha tea and led to the creation of Senchadō.
Names
Baisao went by many names during his lifetime, as was common at the time. As a child, he was known as Shibayama Kikusen. When he became a monk, his Zen priest name was Gekkai Gensho. Baisao, the nickname by which he is popularly known, means "old tea seller." He acquired this name from his act of making tea in the Kyoto area. Later in his life, he denounced his priesthood and adopted the lay name of Ko Yugai.
Early life
Baisao was born in the town of Hasuike in what was then Hizen Province. His father died when he was nine years old. Baisao became a Zen Buddhist monk at Ryushinji, an Ōbaku temple. His teacher, Kerin Doryo, had received instruction directly from Ingen, the founder of the Ōbaku school. Starting in 1696, Baisao travelled extensively for several years to study at various temples in Japan. Baisao then returned to his temple and served as its steward until 1723, when Daicho Genko became its abbot. His mother also died in that year. In 1724, when Baisao was 49 years old, he left the monastery and went to Kyoto, where he would live for the remainder of his life. With letters of introduction from Daicho, Baisao quickly gained the friendship of many leading artists, monks, and literati in Kyoto.
Tea
Around 1735, Baisao began selling tea in the various scenic locations in Kyoto. At this time, he had not yet formally given up his priesthood. Baisao never sold his tea for a fixed price. Instead, he carried a bamboo tube with which he collected donations. He lived an ascetic life, despite his lasting friendships with illustrious individuals, and used the meagre donations from his tea peddling to keep himself nourished. As for his tea equipment, he carried it all in a woven bamboo basket he called Senka ("den of the sages") that he lugged around on a stick over his shoulder.
Baisao's method of preparing tea was referred to as sencha, or "simmered tea". In this method, whole tea leaves would be tossed into a pot of boiling water and simmered for a short period of time. This style of tea differed from matcha, the most common tea in Japan at the time, which consists of tea leaves ground into a fine powder. The method of brewing tea by grinding it into a powder and whisking it with hot water was popular in China in the Song dynasty, during which Zen Buddhist monks first brought the practice to Japan. By contrast, the Ōbaku school of Zen specialized in brewing loose leaf green tea, a style that had gradually become popular in China during the Ming dynasty. Sencha partisans of the time opposed the rigid, elaborate formalism of the traditional chanoyu tea ceremony, which uses matcha. The comparative simplicity of adding tea leaves to water appealed to many Japanese monks and intellectuals (among them Baisao and much of his social circle) who admired the carefree attitude advocated by the ancient Chinese sages. Baisao himself saw tea as a path to spiritual enlightenment, a point he made repeatedly in his poetry.
It is not known where Baisao originally obtained his tea leaves from, but by 1738, the sencha method of brewing tea had become popular enough that one of his acquaintances, a tea grower in Uji, developed new production methods to create a type of tea named after the brewing method. This sencha tea was made of whole, young leaves which were steamed and then dried. This technique differs from the typical Chinese method of producing loose leaf tea, which does not involve steaming. Baisao himself praised the tea highly, and the term sencha has come to refer primarily to the tea leaves produced by this method, not to the method of brewing them.
Later life
In 1745, at the age of seventy, Baisao renounced his monasticism, changing his name to Ko Yugai. He stopped selling tea in 1755. Conscious of his own fame and hoping to avoid the creation of a ritualized sencha tradition as stifling as the formal chanoyu ceremony that he so often denounced, Baisao burned many of his own tea utensils shortly before his death. He did this in open defiance of the chanoyu tradition of venerating the utensils used by celebrated tea masters.
Writings
Baisao's poetry and calligraphy are considered important in the Zen history of Japan, especially in Kyoto where Baisao was well known. His poetry was highly regarded by the artists of 18th century Kyoto, which was more "liberal" than the capital city of Edo (modern Tokyo). Over 100 of his poems have survived. Some of Baisao's writings were published in 1748 as A Collection of Tea Documents from the Plum Mountain (Baisanshu chafu ryaku). In this text, Baisao argued for the philosophical superiority of sencha over chanoyu, and wrote that priests who performed the chanoyu tea ceremony were as far from the example of the ancient sages as heaven from earth.
Influence
After Baisao's death, despite the symbolic destruction of his tea utensils, a codified sencha tea ceremony based on his methods soon emerged. His friend Kimura Kenkadō published detailed descriptions and illustrations of his tea utensils. Kimura also had craftsmen make copies of some of the burned utensils. He and others promoted the veneration of Baisao and wrote detailed instructions for brewing loose leaf tea. The priest Daiten Kenjo, in his commentary for the Japanese edition of the Chinese text Secrets of Steeped Tea, described two methods of brewing loose leaf tea. One, which he called sencha, was the method used by Baisao. The other, which he called hocha, is the method generally used today, in which hot water is poured over tea leaves in a vessel. Daiten also advocated the use of tea utensils similar to those Baisao personally used. Today, Baisao is considered one of the first sencha masters. After his death, sencha continued to rise in popularity, gradually replacing matcha as the most popular type of tea in Japan.

Banbasa is a census town in Champawat district in the state of Uttarakhand, India most famous for its border crossing into Nepal from India. The major occupation is agriculture.
Demographics
India census, Banbasa had a population of 7,990, up from 7,138 in 2001. The human sex ratio of Banbasa is 887, with 52% of the population being Male and other 48% female. Children constitute 12.22% of total population of Banbasa. The literacy rate of Banbasa is 77.19%. The Buksas and Tharus are the native inhabititants of the region.
It is located 10 km away from Tanakpur. Banbasa is known for the Banbasa Barrage and Dam across the Sharda river, its canal and what many consider the launching point for the trip up into the mountains on the Holy Purnagiri Pilgrimage. The place abounds in sugarcane, paddy, wheat, mango orchards etc. and has a hot and humid climate, typical of the Terais, during summers, with heavy rains in late summers and hard winters.
To enter into Banbassa from Delhi one must pass through a lush 6 km stretch of jungle in which elephants, leopards, tigers, monkeys, bears, snakes, deer and many other species of wild animal are regularly seen. Much of Banbasa's outer population lives in the jungles that surround the town.
The town and tourism
While Banbassa has several small hotels, it is not generally considered a 'tourist destination'. The majority of tourists and visitors that arrive in Banbasa are either crossing into Nepal (via Mahendranagar) or heading up in to the Himalayas and its hill stations.
A popular place to visit while staying in Banbasa is The Good Shepherd Agricultural Mission, an orphanage home for around 80 orphan children located just 1 km from the town -though visitors must obtain permission prior to visiting via their website. The GSAM is situated on the border of the jungle and has been registered and running since 1948.
Banbasa is a popular spot for people to cross into Nepal from India as there is an immigration office for both countries. The Nepal border is about 5 km from Banbasa and rickshaws, tuktuk or horse-drawn carts can be hired with ease. Vehicles can also cross the border into Nepal/India but specific times are held when this can happen (3-4 times per day).
Transport
Buses run direct between Banbasa and Delhi, Agra, Bareilly, Rudrapur, Nanital, Haldwani, Dehradun, Haridwar, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Shimla and many other places. Most services have several timings but some only have 1-3 buses per day. Banbasa is one of the last stops before the Himalayan mountain climb begins on the road to Almorah, Champawat and Pithoragarh.
Trains also run to Banbasa, a direct line from Delhi via Bareilly.
Banbasa is near India's border with Nepal, across from the Mahendranagar municipality. Nepalese and Indian nationals may cross unrestricted, however there is a customs checkpoint for goods and third country nationals.

The salivary microbiome consists of the nonpathogenic, commensal bacteria present in the healthy human salivary glands. It differs from the oral microbiome which is located in the oral cavity. Oral microorganisms tend to adhere to teeth. The oral microbiome possesses its own characteristic microorganisms found there. Resident microbes of the mouth adhere to the teeth and gums. "[T]here may be important interactions between the saliva microbiome and other microbiomes in the human body, in particular, that of the intestinal tract."
Characteristics
Unlike the uterine, placental and vaginal microbiomes, the types of organisms in the salivary microbiota remain relatively constant. There is no difference between populations of microbes based upon gender, age, diet, obesity, alcohol intake, race, or tobacco use. The salivary microbiome characteristically remains stable over a lifetime. One study suggests sharing an environment (e.g., living together) may influence the salivary microbiome more than genetic components. Porphyromonas, Solobacterium, Haemophilus, Corynebacterium, Cellulosimicrobium, Streptococcus and Campylobacter are some of the genera found in the saliva.
Genetic markers and diagnostic testing
"There is high diversity in the salivary microbiome within and between individuals, but little geographic structure. Overall, ~13.5% of the total variance in the composition of genera is due to differences among individuals, which is remarkably similar to the fraction of the total variance in neutral genetic markers that can be attributed to differences among human populations."
"[E]nvironmental variables revealed a significant association between the genetic distances among locations and the distance of each location from the equator. Further characterization of the enormous diversity revealed here in the human salivary microbiome will aid in elucidating the role it plays in human health and disease, and in the identification of potentially informative species for studies of human population history."
Sixty new genera have been identified from the salivary glands. A total of 101 different genera were identified in the salivary glands. Out of these, 39 genera are not found in the oral microbiome. It is not known whether the resident species remain constant or change.
Though the association between the salivary microbiome is similar to that of the oral microbiome, there also exists an association the salivary microbiome and the gut microbiome. Saliva sampling may be a non-invasive way to detect changes in the gut microbiome and changes in systemic disease. The association between the salivary microbiome those with Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome has been characterized: "saliva microbiome profiles correlate with those in the stool, despite the fact that the bacterial communities in the two locations differ greatly. Therefore, saliva may be a useful alternative to stool as an indicator of bacterial dysbiosis in systemic disease."
The sugar concentration in salivary secretions can vary. Blood sugar levels are reflected in salivary gland secretions. High salivary glucose (HSG) levels are a glucose concentration ≥ 1.0 mg/d, n = 175) and those with low salivary glucose (LSG) levels are < 0.1 mg/dL n = 2,537). Salivary gland secretions containing high levels of sugar change the oral microbiome and contributes to an environment that is conductive to the formation of dental caries and gingivitis.
Salivary glands
Organisms of the salivary microbiome reside in the three major salivary glands: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual. These glands secrete electrolytes, proteins, genetic material, polysaccharides, and other molecules. Most of these substances enter the salivary gland acinus and duct system from surrounding capillaries via the intervening tissue fluid, although some substances are produced within the glands themselves. The level of each salivary component varies considerably depending on the health status of the individual and the presence of pathogenic and commensal organisms.

ModiLuft was a private airline based in Delhi, India. It operated on domestic routes until it shut down in 1996. It maintained high standards in flight safety, ground maintenance, and on-time performance owing to support from Lufthansa. ModiLuft's aircraft were configured in First, Business and Economy Class, making it the only private airline in India during its time to fly a three class configuration on domestic routes. It used Boeing 737-200 aircraft leased from Lufthansa and had an incident-free track record of flying.
History
ModiLuft was among the first of India's first post-deregulation airlines, launched in April 1993 by the Indian industrialist S. K. Modi, in technical partnership with the German flag carrier Lufthansa. The German airline provided pilots and trained ModiLuft's Indian staff including pilots, cabin crew, mechanics, and city and ground passenger handling staff. Lufthansa Technik provided maintenance, overhaul, and spares support. The airline project, started in February 1993 by Modi, Ashutosh Dayal Sharma, Yash Kohli, and Kanwar K. S. Jamwal, first flew from New Delhi to Mumbai on 5 May 1993. The airline commenced operations within three months of its conception. Kanwar K. S. Jamwal, General Manager Projects, was responsible for setting up the airline and its operations and put together a team of Indian and German engineers and pilots. Capt. R L. Kapur was the Managing Director, and Wing. Cdr. S. Raj (Retd.) Capt. Manoj Airon along with a team of able airline experts, R. K. Anand and Kavita Batra, helped in meeting the aviation industry standards and in conforming to the Indian Aircraft Rules set by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The first two batches of the cabin crew were trained at Lufthansa's flight crew training facility at Frankfurt. Modiluft was the only airline to achieve an average aircraft utilisation of a minimum 12 hours per day and an on-time departure CSAT score of 98.8% in India.
The two companies parted ways after the Indian partner accused Lufthansa of not abiding by its funding commitment. In turn, the German airline alleged that ModiLuft had defaulted on lease payments for the four Lufthansa aircraft. The relationship between the two parties soured in mid-1996 after Modi began putting pressure on Lufthansa to take a stake of up to 40 per cent in the Indian carrier.
In May 1996, Lufthansa announced that they had decided to terminate their agreement with ModiLuft. The aircraft belonging to Lufthansa were grounded due to the litigation and ModiLuft acquired Boeing 737-400 aircraft from Air UK as replacements. The future of ModiLuft, however, was already sealed and the airline ceased operations in 1996.
ModiLuft eventually returned Lufthansa's aircraft by 30 September 1997 as part of an out-of-court settlement. The airline ownership changed hands due to lack of funds and was renamed Royal Airways, an airline that never got off the ground. ModiLuft's Air operator's certificate (AOC) had not lapsed and was eventually used by a different set of promoters for the Low-cost carrier SpiceJet.

Province of Montenegro () was a temporary province in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. It existed in the period from Yugoslav unification at the end of 1918 to the implementation of the new territorial organization, which began in 1922. The abolition of the temporary provinces and the introduction of the area as new administrative units were envisaged by the Vidovdan Constitution of 1921 and the relevant regulations, which were adopted in 1922, after which the constitutional provisions were drafted in practice.
History
By the decision of the Podgorica Assembly of 28 November 1918, the Executive Committee was elected, which had the role of a provisional government in the territory of the previously abolished Kingdom of Montenegro. The board consisted of: Stevo Vukotić, Spasoje Piletić, Lazar Damjanović, Risto Jojić and President Marko Daković. In April 1919, the power in the province was taken over by the royal commissioner Ivo Pavićević. The reorganization of the administration was carried out after the adoption of the Decree on the division of the country into areas from 1922, which prescribed the creation of Zeta Banovina, with a wider spatial scope. District Chiefs was Ljubomir Glomazić for Cetinje, Risto Vujačić for Bar and Mujo Sočica for Nikšić.
Administrative divisions
Territory of Montenegro was divided into six areas, with centers in Cetinje, Andrijevica, Bar, Kolašin, Nikšić and Podgorica.

George Beel (26 February 1900 – 30 December 1980) was a professional footballer who played as a centre forward. He is regarded as the best centre forward in Burnley's history and holds their records for the most number of goals in a season and the highest number of league goals ever.
During the First World War, Beel was based in Blackpool and would regularly play for the club in the Wartime league. During this period, he caught the attention of Manchester United and in 1919 they offered him a trial. He was not offered a contract and returned home to play for Lincoln City in October the same year. He scored 6 goals in 23 league games who then moved to South Wales after signing for Merthyr Town. He scored 22 goals in 54 appearances over two years in the newly formed Third Division South before crossing the border back to England, signing for newly promoted Chesterfield. Chesterfield scored 68 goals in 1922–23, finishing fourth in their debut season, with Beel finishing joint top scorer in the third division north league with 23 goals in 35 games. Many first division scouts watched the Spireites, all interested in Beel. Burnley made their move and signed him in 1923, in time for him to play in the last game of the season. Here he would spend nine years, going onto score 188 goals in 337 appearances in all competitions for the Clarets. In six of those seasons, he would finish as the club's top scorer.
He scored 19 league goals in his first season, then scored 24 over the next two seasons before having his best spell. He found the net 24 times in the 1926–27 season and then the 1927–28 season saw Beel score 35 goals in 39 appearances, a club record for most goals in a season that still remains today. The next season he hit 30 goals in 41 matches, however the goals dried up in the 1929–30 season, managing only 10 in 33 games as Burnley suffered relegation.
Beel also had an impressive hat-trick record. He netted his first hat trick in a 5–1 home victory against West Ham United on 17 November 1923. He would have to wait until September 1926 before he scored another, in a 7–1 win away at Newcastle United at St James' Park. He only had to wait ten days this time before hitting another treble, at home against Bolton Wanderers. He scored another hat-trick at St James Park two years later, this time in a 7–2 win over Newcastle United.
He scored ten league hat-tricks as he scored 142 goals in 252 first division league matches, which, at that time, made him one of three players as the 23rd highest scorer ever, in the first division. He would never play in the top flight again spending his last two seasons at Burnley in the second division, where he scored a further 37 goals. He scored his eleventh and last hat trick for Burnley in February 1931 against Wolves in a 4–2 home win.
He returned to second division Lincoln City, making 9 league appearances and scoring 6 goals for the Imps after signing at the back end of the 1932–33 season. The following season he was back in the third division, this time at Rochdale in the northern division, where he scored 8 times in 20 league matches. He took the role of player-manager at non-league Tunbridge Wells Rangers and remained there the following season before retiring. Beel had scored 244 league goals in 457 league appearances in his career. He later became the manager of Maidstone United, remaining with the Kent club in various capacities, including junior coaching, until his death on 30 December 1980, aged 80.

Geraldine Hunt ( Milligan; February 10, 1945 – October 27, 2022) was an American-Canadian R&B singer best known for the 1980 No. 1 Hot Dance Music/Club Play hit "Can't Fake the Feeling".
Early life
Hunt's parents are Rosie Lee Vickers and Frank Milligan. Her father was a one-man band, and her grandmother, Louella Reed, was a singer on the Chitlin Circuit. In 1947 her family relocated to Chicago. While growing up on Chicago's south side Hunt discovered her musical talent. Living in that part of Chicago was not easy; recalls Geraldine. "On the weekends, we had to sleep on the floor, gangs were shooting through the house; I had been beaten up at gunpoint once, It was rough. We were living below middle class."
Despite the bleak living conditions of her childhood, there were bright spots also. A notable time in her life was her years at Hyde Park High School. Her classmate and best friend at school was the late American soul singer-songwriter Minnie Riperton. Besides Hunt and Riperton, the school also produced a girl group called "Coffee" who covered Ruby Andrews' "Casanova" in 1980.
Career
Hunt began her recording career as a teenager with several singles released from 1962: she had her first glimmer of success in 1970 when "You & I" a duet with Charlie Hodges reached No. 45 on the R&B chart in Billboard and in 1972 Hunt's remake of "Baby I Need Your Loving" reached No. 47 R&B.
In 1975, Hunt relocated to Montreal, Quebec where she recorded her first album in 1978, the disco-oriented Sweet Honesty. In 1980, Hunt's second album No Way yielded the track "Can't Fake the Feeling" which reached No. 1 on the club chart in Billboard where it spent a total of seven weeks: with top 40 radio then being disco-resistant "Can't Fake the Feeling" had a small mainstream success reaching No. 58 R&B. However the track did afford Hunt a hit in France at No. 10 and charted in the UK at No. 44.
In 1982, she helped write and produce some of the music for Chéri.
In 2014, Hunt was honored for her contributions to composing and publishing music at the 25th Anniversary SOCAN Montreal Gala Celebrates Music Creators and Publishers.
Personal life and death
Hunt was the mother of three children; Rosalind Hunt of the musical group Chéri, singer Freddie James and professor/writer Jeanne Croteau. She had seven grandchildren.
On October 27. 2022, she passed away.

Anooshe Sediq Ghulam (1979–2002) was a 22-year-old Afghan refugee in Norway, who was murdered by her husband, Afghan Nasruddin Shamsi, in an "honour killing".
Life and death
Anooshe Sediq Ghulam was an ethnic Uzbek and grew up in Mazhar-i-Sharif. She married another Uzbek, Zaheerudin Shamsi, and became his second wife. According to her own statements to the newspaper Dagbladet, she was 13 years old at the time of the marriage. According to the birth date she later gave to Norwegian authorities she was 15 or 16.
The married couple arrived in Norway in May 1999 as asylum seekers. They were granted permanent stay in Norway on humanitarian grounds. Anooshe Ghulam was later granted asylum. The couple had two children.
In summer 2000, she reported her husband to the police for domestic violence. He was incarcerated for a short period. Ghulam sought refuge at a women's center and filed for divorce. After this incident, Anooshe Ghulam was sent to another refugee center, Svanviken flyktningmottak, which was supposed to be a hidden address. Her husband, however, became aware of where she lived. After he was observed in an area near Ghulam, a restraining order was issued against him and he was once arrested for violating it.
The murder took place outside the police station in Kristiansund 25 April 2002, when the two were on their way to court for a custody case.
Anooshe spoke fluent English and quickly picked up Norwegian. Her husband, who had been an army general and came from a prominent clan in Afghanistan's Northern Alliance, barely spoke either language.
The trial lasted 20 days and Nasruddin was sentenced to 18 years in jail. He claimed the plan originally had not been to kill Ghulam but to kill himself inside the courtroom. The two children were placed in a foster home and given police protection, due to concerns that they might be abducted by Nasruddin's family. Nasruddin's family did not come to the trial, though he has a brother living in Norway.
The Norwegian authorities arranged visas for Anooshe's family in Afghanistan to come to the funeral, but they never picked them up. Apparently they were threatened and feared reprisals by Nasruddin's family.
During the trial, Nasruddin testified that he had been a refugee in Iran and Russia, but only in Norway did the social services "meddle" with his private life. Had he known that in advance, he would not have brought his family to Norway.

Singer Presents ... Elvis, commonly referred to as the '68 Comeback Special, is an Elvis Presley concert special that aired on NBC on December 3, 1968. It marked Presley's return to live performance after a seven-year period during which he focused on his film appearances.
The concert was initially planned as a Christmas special by the network and Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Producer Bob Finkel hired director Steve Binder, who, rather than creating a Christmas special, created a concert that would reflect the musical trends of the time and appeal to a younger audience. Filming took place in June 1968 at NBC Studios in Burbank, California. The special included a sit-down session that showcased Presley in an informal setting, surrounded by fans and a small band.
The special received positive reviews and topped the Nielsen television ratings for the week in which it aired. It became the most-watched show of the television season, earning 42% of the television audience. Later known as the Comeback Special, it relaunched Presley's singing career.
Background
After he returned from serving in the United States Army in March 1960, Presley enjoyed success with his album releases. G.I. Blues, the soundtrack album to his 1960 film G.I. Blues, topped both the Billboard pop albums chart and the UK Albums Chart in October 1960. On March 25, 1961, Presley played a concert in Hawaii to benefit the construction of the USS Arizona Memorial. It would be his last public performance for seven years. Presley's next number-one album on the Billboard pop albums chart was Something for Everybody, released in June 1961.
Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker shifted the focus of Presley's career to films and stopped him from touring. The films were low-budget, formulaic comedies that were successful at the box office, while the resulting albums sold well. Presley attempted to move into more dramatic roles, trying to reduce the prominence of musical numbers to center on his acting with Flaming Star (1960) and Wild in the Country (1961). Both releases flopped, and by 1964 Parker decided to limit all recordings exclusively to film soundtracks. Parker then set the Presley formula: the films would promote album releases, while album releases would promote the films.
To reduce costs, producer Hal Wallis shortened filming schedules, almost abandoning rehearsals and retakes. He stopped shooting on location and centered all of his activities on the studio. Wallis also resorted to smaller studios, dropping experienced crews. Scenes were limited to long shots, medium shots and close-ups to speed the process. Meanwhile, studio recordings also declined in quality, with musicians often recording their parts before Presley's. He was paid $750,000 and received 50% of the film profits for his appearance in Tickle Me (1965), a sum that consumed most of the film's budget. Because Allied Artists was experiencing financial problems, Parker inserted unused songs from other studio sessions on the soundtrack and instructed the studio to work them into the film. The tight production worked, and Tickle Me was a box-office success.
Girl Happy (1965) marked the first failure of this approach. The soundtrack was Presley's least successful release, while the film barely grossed $2 million. Despite the success of Parker's model, Presley soon grew discontented with the quality of his work. With the passage of time, he felt that his connection to the music business was weakening, causing depression and alienation as the quality of his films deteriorated. During a five-year span from 1964 through 1968, Presley had only one top-ten hit, "Crying in the Chapel" (1965), a gospel number recorded in 1960. While the 1964 film Viva Las Vegas enjoyed success, the ensuing films saw a progressive decline. By 1967, the difficulty of negotiating with Parker and the poor performance of the films led Wallis to opt out of his contract with Presley.
NBC deal
In October 1967, Parker approached Tom Sarnoff, NBC West Coast vice president, to propose a Christmas television special. The US$1,250,000 package (about $ in prices) included the financing of a motion picture (for US$850,000), its soundtrack (for US$25,000), the television special (US$250,000) and US$125,000 reserved for the costs related to a rerun. The special was to be included in the feature Singer Presents ..., sponsored by the Singer Corporation.
Presley's initial reaction to the special was negative. He felt that it was another scheme concocted by Parker and was angered by the idea of singing Christmas carols on national television. However, his opinion changed after he began talks with the special's producer, Bob Finkel, who persuaded Singer, NBC and Parker to alter the show's original concept. Finkel obtained Parker's approval that the show was to be centered only on Presley, while enough material for a soundtrack album and a Christmas single was to be recorded. Presley's enthusiasm for the project grew, and he assured Finkel that he was ready to perform new material, different from anything he had previously done. He had no interest in Parker's opinion of the project.
To reflect the new intended direction of Presley's career, Finkel recruited director Steve Binder, who had directed the concert film T.A.M.I. Show and worked for NBC on Hullabaloo and a Petula Clark special. Finkel felt that hiring Binder would refresh Presley's image and that Binder would be able to introduce Presley to new audiences. Initially reluctant to direct the special, Binder was convinced by his associate Bones Howe, who had met Presley during the 1950s while he worked at Radio Recorders as an audio engineer. He insisted on working with Presley as he thought that Binder had similar production methods. A meeting was arranged during which Parker assured that the team would have full creative control but stressed that the publishing rights must be under Presley's name. Howe and Binder met with Presley later that week and informed him that they would prepare all of the details for the special by the time that Presley would return from his vacation in Hawaii.
Production
Binder and Howe hired the production crew, repeating their collaboration with various people whom they had used for past specials. Billy Goldenberg was assigned as the musical director, while the Presley camp chose Billy Strange as the arranger. Chris Bearde and Allan Blye were hired as the writers, and Bill Belew for the costume design. Bearde and Blye proposed an idea based on Maurice Maeterlinck's The Blue Bird that was intended to portray Presley's career through his songs. Singer's representative Alfred Discipio approved the idea, as did Parker. The snippets of the story were connected by a number covering Jerry Reed's "Guitar Man." An informal segment was planned featuring Presley talking to members of his entourage in a scripted conversation that was to show him as self-deprecating while discussing his film performances. A gospel number would be added, as well as a live standup performance. The Christmas song, requested by Parker, would then be played, and the special would close with a spoken statement by Presley. Binder wanted Presley to express his feelings about the current social climate, as Presley had been moved by the recent assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. King's assassination deeply touched Presley, who felt that the murder, which occurred in Memphis, Tennessee, "only confirmed everyone's worst feelings about the south."
By June 3, Presley returned to Hollywood to start the rehearsals that would last for two weeks. Howe insisted on the possibility of a soundtrack album from which he would earn royalties as its producer. NBC saw Howe's attitude as a potential danger to the special and ordered Binder to remove him from the staff. The production was further complicated when Goldenberg complained to Binder that Strange had not completed any musical arrangements for the special with only two weeks before the end of preproduction. Strange left the project, alleging that he was too busy with other projects. A week before the end of rehearsals, the production team allowed Howe to return as producer and engineer.
On June 17, the team moved to the NBC studios in Burbank, California. Goldenberg asked Finkel to remove Presley's large entourage from the production area, complaining that they interfered with the creative process. Presley worked with choreographer Lance LeGault on the planned numbers, and Belew worked with the costumes.
Binder and Howe developed the concept of the informal section of the show after seeing Presley interacting with his entourage while playing music during breaks. Binder planned to shoot the segment in the locker room to give the public a sense of how Presley's music was developed in an intimate setting, but Parker opposed this concept. Binder settled for a sit-down concert on a small stage that resembled a boxing ring. He called Presley's first backup musicians, Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana, to accentuate the nature of Presley's musical origins (Presley's original bassist Bill Black had died in 1965). They were also joined by two members of Presley's entourage, Charlie Hodge and Alan Fortas. The scripted part was canceled but the writers gave Presley a list of topics to discuss between songs. The topics included mentions of his early career, his Hollywood years and the current music business.
On June 20, Presley started the recording process at United Western Recorders. Howe arranged for the rhythm section, session musicians from Los Angeles. The band was composed of drummer Hal Blaine and guitarists Mike Deasy and Tommy Tedesco. Members of the string and brass sections of the NBC orchestra were also enlisted. All of the special's music, except for that of the live sections, was prerecorded by Presley. It was to be blended with live vocals during the production numbers, which were taped on June 27.
On the same day, Presley taped the first sit-down show. Parker had told the NBC team that he would handle ticket distribution. He assured them that he would recruit fans from across the country to fill the studio. However, by the day of the show, Parker had not distributed the tickets, and only a few people were in line to see the taping. Binder and Finkel invited people from a restaurant across the street and aired a radio announcement to gather an audience. Presley was nervous at the beginning of the first hour-long set. Binder had to convince him to take the stage, but once there, Presley was comfortable. He performed his songs and traded jokes with his companions as the session progressed. By the end of the first show, Belew had to carefully remove the sweat-soaked leather suit that was now stuck to Presley's skin. To prepare the suit for the next show, Belew had to wash it by hand. He was helped by the costume crew, who used hairdryers to hasten the process. During the first show, the producers were concerned about the effects of the toe-tapping on the recordings, so for the 8 p.m. show, rubber mats were placed at the feet of Presley and the band members. The second show found Presley relaxed and running through the set list with ease.
On June 29, Presley recorded both stand-up sessions. As with the first two shows, the cameras that shot Presley from different angles did not have individual taping machines. The director would choose the camera angle that he desired and the cameras would then feed either of the two available taping machines. The arrangements of the songs for the stand-up shows were fast-paced, and Presley accompanied them with shakes, gyrations and facial expressions that he emphasized with fist gestures and knee-drops.
For the show's closer, Binder decided to replace the spoken statement with a song. He instructed Goldenberg and lyricist Walter Earl Brown to write a song that reflected Presley and his beliefs, and Brown wrote "If I Can Dream" that same night. Binder sent it to Parker, who still thought that the show closer was to be "I'll Be Home for Christmas." After Parker's negative response to the song, Binder bypassed him and played the song for Presley. After hearing it three times, Presley was convinced that he should record it. Seeing Presley's determination, Parker demanded 100 percent of the publishing rights. Goldenberg removed his name from the publishing sheet and told Parker that Brown had written the song. For the "If I Can Dream" number, Presley wore a three-piece white suit designed by Belew. A large sign in red letters that read ELVIS was placed on a black background, and Presley performed the song with a hand-held microphone. After finishing the song, Presley closed the special by saying "Thank you, Good night."
Release and reception
The special's final running time was fifty minutes, edited from four hours of taping; Presley was satisfied with the result. Singer Presents...Elvis aired five months later on Tuesday, December 3, at 9 p.m. EST. It placed first in the Nielsen television ratings for the week ending on December 8, displacing Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (also on NBC), which dropped to the second position. Forty-two percent of the total television audience viewed it, making it the most-watched show of the season. The special's soundtrack was released shortly afterward. It reached number eight on Billboard's Top LPs chart, and by July 1969, it was certified gold. The special was shown in the United Kingdom on 31 December 1969 on BBC2 under the title The Fabulous Elvis.
In his review for The New York Times, critic Robert Shelton wrote: "Parts of the hour program were unbelievably stagey, but other parts were believably effective and natural glimpses of one of the pop-culture phenomenons of the century at work where he works best, in music. ... What this special points out is that this charismatic performer was at his best 10 years ago, but he hasn't lost his grip on the best music he had to offer then. Today's rock generation will, more than likely, ask that the real, early Presley stand up."
Despite calling Presley's films "atrocities," a Chicago Tribune reviewer wrote that "it's great to have the old Elvis back" and characterized the performance as "dynamic, compelling, incredibly sensual."
The Los Angeles Times deemed Presley's performance "anticlimactic" in comparison to other rock-and-roll acts of the time. The review assured that Presley "managed to sustain the hour very well" but that "some of the magic was gone, diminished."
The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote: "What separates real from ersatz stars is the quality of excitement, and this Presley generated generously whether singing, swinging, chatting with sidemen and an ecstatic audience or pacing restlessly like a caged animal."
The Associated Press praised the set design as well as Presley's appearance that felt "sort of like old times."
A review by the Newspaper Enterprise Association published in the El Paso Herald-Post held that the special showcased a renewed and "more mature" Presley.
The Daily Tar Heel published a favorable review of the special, remarking on the change since Presley's heyday, declaring: "Elvis still has magic."
The Ottawa Journal praised Presley while noting that he delivered a calmer stage presence compared to that of his early days. The reviewer lamented the editing of the program and the selection of the "cage-like stage" in which Presley appeared to pace "not at ease."
The Guardian defined the performances by Presley as "marvellous stuff, performed with a faint hint of self-mockery" but lamented the inclusion of choreography and "ludicrous choral throbs."
Aftermath
After the taping of the first sit-down session, Presley called Parker to his dressing room to inform him that he wanted to return to touring. During a press conference, Parker announced that Presley would soon embark on a "comeback tour." Parker's choice of words angered Presley, who felt that he was being labeled a "has-been." Presley was also interested in further collaboration with Binder, but Parker avoided it.
By January 1969, propelled by the success of the special and with his renewed enthusiasm, Presley began his return to recording non-soundtrack albums with producer Chips Moman. Recorded at American Sound Studio with the house band known as the Memphis Boys, the resulting single "In the Ghetto" reached #3 and was soon followed by a country-soul album titled From Elvis in Memphis. "Suspicious Minds," a standalone single from the sessions released in late August, also topped the charts and became one of Presley's signature songs. In July 1969, Rolling Stone featured Presley on the cover for the first time, featuring a photo from one of the television special's stand-up performances with the black leather outfit.
Parker arranged Presley's return to live performance. He arranged a deal with Kirk Kerkorian, owner of the Las Vegas International Hotel, for Presley to play the newly built, 2,000-seat showroom for four weeks (two shows per night) for $400,000. For his return to Las Vegas, Presley assembled a core rhythm section later given the moniker the TCB Band: James Burton (lead guitar), John Wilkinson (rhythm guitar), Jerry Scheff (bass), Ron Tutt (drums), Larry Muhoberac (piano) and Charlie Hodge (rhythm guitar, stage assistant). Presley also hired two backing vocal groups, the Sweet Inspirations and the Imperials. His initial Las Vegas booking, 57 shows in July–August 1969, attracted a total audience of 101,500, a Las Vegas attendance record. In 1970, Presley toured the U.S. for the first time since October–November 1957, with every show a sellout.
Media releases
Rereleases
NBC rebroadcast the special in the summer of 1969. The song "Blue Christmas" was replaced by the number "Tiger Man" at Parker's request. In 1977, the program was aired after Presley's death as a special titled Memories of Elvis, hosted by Ann-Margret. It included a bordello scene that was originally approved by the censors but had been removed at the request of the Singer Corporation to avoid controversy.
In 1985, HBO broadcast the first sit-down session of the show under the title Elvis: One Night with You. Elvis Presley Enterprises' business manager Joe Rascoff sold the channel the broadcasting rights for $1,000,000. A home-video version was later released.
In 2004, an Elvis: '68 Comeback Special Deluxe Edition DVD was released. The three-disc set contained all of the known available footage of the special, outtakes included. A single-disc edition was released in 2006 with the program expanded to 94 minutes by adding material from the outtakes to the original broadcast.
Soundtrack
The special's first single to be released was "If I Can Dream" by RCA Victor (47–9670) in October 1968. It reached number 12 on the Billboard Singles chart and sold 800,000 copies. In November 1968, the live performance of "Tiger Man" appeared on the RCA Camden compilation album Elvis Sings Flaming Star (PRS-279), which was first released through Singer stores and given wide release in April 1969 (CAS 2304).
An official soundtrack album simply titled Elvis was released in December 1968 by RCA (LPM-4088). In March 1969, RCA released "Memories" as a single (47–9730), a song that would later be reused as the closing credits music for the 1972 concert film Elvis on Tour.
Bootleg albums featuring unissued material began circulating as early as 1978. Over the following decades, additional performances from the special were released in parts, particularly in RCA's A Legendary Performer compilation series, as well as in the 1985 box set A Golden Celebration. In the 1990s and 2000s, RCA issued more complete soundtrack recordings, including Memories in 1998, a 30th-anniversary release that was an expansion of the original album. That same year, RCA released Tiger Man, which consisted of the complete sit-down performances. In 2006, RCA released Let Yourself Go: The Making of Elvis the Comeback Special, which consisted of outtakes and rehearsal recordings from the special.
Various recordings from the special were used as the soundtrack for the Elvis pinball machine, released by Stern in 2004. The version of "A Little Less Conversation" originally recorded for (but not used in) the special was later remixed by Junkie XL and became a worldwide hit in 2002. In the United States, the song peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, the first hit for Presley since 1981, and extended his list of charted singles into the 21st century. It also spent four consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart.
In popular culture
The sit-down sections of the special were a forerunner of MTV Unplugged, showing for the first time an artist in a casual setting. Falco's video for his 1986 single "Emotional" features him standing in front of a logo formed by red light bulbs that spell FALCO, an image also shown on the cover of his Emotional album. In The Simpsons 1993 episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled," the set of Krusty the Clown's television special mimicks Presley's show. In the video for the 2001 single "Inner Smile," Texas lead singer Sharleen Spiteri is dressed as Presley from the special. Robbie Williams' 2002 special The Robbie Williams Show features "Trouble" as the opening song as well as similar set decorations and the letters RW in red. In 2004, Morrissey toured with a stage backdrop that spelled MORRISSEY in large red marquee lights reminiscent of the special's ELVIS sign. The special was portrayed in the 2005 biographical television miniseries Elvis starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers. In 2008, country singer Martina McBride recorded a virtual duet of "Blue Christmas" for the album Christmas Duets. The video for the song features McBride singing with Presley during the sit-down session of the special. Glenn Danzig loosely based his 2013 "Legacy" TV Special on the Presley special. In 2019, Green Day paid tribute to the "Guitar Man" portion of the special's opening number in the video for "Father of All...." Baz Luhrmann's 2022 film Elvis portrays the production of the special, with Billboard indicating "the scenes about the special are considered some of the film's most riveting".

Santa Fé is a musical trio.
Santa Fé is a Spanish/English music group. Their sound ranges from modern Latin to Hip-Hop, with some influences from European Electro. In 2005, they broke out with their hit single "Esto Es Pa Ti", which was featured in the British-film Goal! 2: Living the Dream. The single was featured on several summer mixes, which sales combined totaled over a million units. Their music went on and gained popularity after several television shows including Big Brother VIP.
In 2006, they had their biggest single, "Fruto Prohibido", featuring Spanish singer Soraya.
On January 9, 2007, Santa Fé performed on Misión Eurovisión 2007, a televised contest on TVE1 to determine the musical artist who will represent Spain in the annual Eurovision song contest. They won the 1st place in the first round with a total of 195 (second highest overall) votes, and performed in the semi-finals on February 10, 2007. On February 10, 2007, Santa Fé was eliminated from Misión Eurovisión. A crowd favorite, considered front-runners all along, they did not make a big splash in voting. Although their performance received exceptional crowd reaction, they were not a televoting favorite. They placed 16 out of 20 with 19 points.
In 2008, the Santa Fé released Proyecto Madre, an album they dedicated to mothers. The single "Madre" featured fellow contestants Mario Mendes, Nesa, Miguel Cañadas, and Verónica from Misión Eurovisión, as well as Kesia y Dani Reus of Gospel Factory.

William Martin Leake (23 April 1831 – 25 August 1918) was an English civil engineer and industrialist and a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, the Marylebone Cricket Club and other amateur sides in the 1850s. He was born at Marylebone in London and died at Newnham on Severn, Gloucestershire.
Educated at Rugby School and St John's College, Cambridge, Leake was placed 24th in the list of Wranglers in 1854. As a cricketer, he played as a batsman, sometimes opening the innings but more often in the middle order; it is not known if he was right-handed or left-handed. His figures are not impressive by modern standards, but he retained his place in the Cambridge team across four summers and appeared four times, from 1851 to 1854, in the annual University match against Oxford. His best innings came in his first appearance in this fixture in 1851, when he opened the batting and made a score of 66, which was the highest innings of the match. After graduating from Cambridge he played one game for a "Gentlemen of England" side in the summer of 1854 and once for MCC in 1858.
After graduating, Leake appears to have gone to Sri Lanka, then called "Ceylon", as a civil engineer but then to have become involved in the introduction tea and cinnamon as crops on the island. By 1873, he had returned to England and was manager of a cement works at Blackwall in London, and he is recorded as such in the 1881 England and Wales census, when he was living in West Dulwich. He retained interests in Sri Lankan tea plantations and as late as 1898 he was representing "tea interests" in Ceylon to a committee debating future currency arrangements for India.

Karl Fazer Milk Chocolate, commonly known as Fazer Blue (, ), is a Finnish brand of milk chocolate owned by the Fazer corporation. The common name derives from the iconic blue color of its wrapper, which is a registered color trademark of the Fazer corporation.
Fazer Blue is often ranked as the best-selling confectionery in Finland. It also regularly polls as the most respected brand among Finns, particularly in polls conducted by the magazine Markkinointi & Mainonta and the polling organization Taloustutkimus OY.
The chocolate is widely considered a part of Finnish cultural heritage and cuisine. It owes its unique taste to the use of fresh milk in production, as opposed to powdered and condensed milk commonly used in chocolate manufacturing. Compared to other chocolates, Fazer Blue also has a relatively high milk concentration.
The chocolate is sold in various forms and amounts, ranging from slabs to boxes of confectionery pieces.
History
The chocolate was brought to market in 1922. According to the Fazer corporation, the Swiss recipe was a gift to the Fazer family from an Englishman. The recipe has remained unchanged since.
In 2001, the Fazer Blue color, Pantone C 280 , became Finland's first color trademark. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Karl Fazer Milk Chocolate sponsored the Finnish sailing team.

The East Savanna River is a small yet historic stream in Aitkin and Saint Louis counties in the U.S. state of Minnesota. With a total length of , the river rises in Wolf Lake, a small body of water within a spruce bog in Savanna Portage State Park, and flows northeasterly to the Saint Louis River at Floodwood, whence its waters flow to Lake Superior through the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean. A few thousand years ago the East Savanna was part of the Mississippi River itself, originating in northeast Minnesota and flowing southwesterly to Big Sandy Lake, from which the great river drained down its present valley to the Gulf of Mexico.
The low divide which now separates the Mississippi tributaries from the East Savanna was part of a historic trade route connecting the Saint Lawrence and Great Lakes to the Mississippi basin, used by fur traders and explorers. Part of that route, including the headwaters of the East and West Savanna Rivers, is now within Savanna Portage State Park.
Name
The river, and the West Savanna River located a half-mile (.8 km) to the west of Wolf Lake, on the other side of the Saint Lawrence River Divide, kept the name given by French explorers, la Savanne. This French word for savanna originally is of Native American origin, and meant a "treeless area". The word was used here to refer to the marshy grasslands where the river begins and through which it flows. The Ojibwe name, Mashkiig-onigami-ziibi, was more precise, being translated as "marsh-portage river".
Geology
After the recession of the last continental glacier, Lake Upham formed from glacial meltwaters. As the lake receded, its watershed at first was drained by the Mississippi River, which rose from the northeast at the present headwaters of the Saint Louis River, and flowed southwest to Sandy Lake along the course of the East Savanna. By the process of stream piracy, the smaller Saint Louis River captured the Cloquet River and then the Mississippi east of the present divide, diverting their waters southeast to Lake Superior. In fact, the river now known as the East Savanna reversed its course; it once was the far upper Mississippi, flowing southwesterly here on its journey to the Gulf of Mexico, but after the Saint Louis River eroded its way upward to Floodwood, it became the present small, northeastward-flowing tributary of the Saint Louis in the Saint Lawrence watershed.
Ecology
The Lake Upham lacustrine plain is part of the Tamarack Lowlands Subsection within the Northern Minnesota Drift Plains Section of the Laurentian Mixed Forest. Sediments deposited by the glacial lake are parent to the present soils of peats, silt, and sand; the peats are in marshes which dominate the upper reaches of the river. These marshes, in which the river rises and through which it flows, were known as the "Great Savannah". The lower course was a winding stream with clay banks through a mixed forest; beavers dropped many trees into and across the river.
The river now flows through a channel, following the section line from Wolf Lake east for about four miles (six km), then angling northeast and east through what is now prosaically named "Judicial Ditch No. 3". The ditching neither drained the marsh nor made it suitable for agriculture: "The land is still hopeless swamp, and so far as anyone can now see will always remain so." As the river leaves the east boundary of Savanna Portage State Park and enters Saint Louis County, local relief begins to increase, and the channel crosses and obliterates the meanders and oxbows of the former naturally-flowing river.
History
The stream was part of the Northwest Trail, and led to the Savanna Portage, a historic trade route between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River basin in central North America. Members of the First Nations, and later fur traders, missionaries, and explorers, ascended the Saint Louis River from its mouth at Fond du Lac (in modern Duluth, Minnesota), then went up the East Savanna to the portage, crossed the portage and the divide to the West Savanna, and descended that stream to the Prairie River and Big Sandy Lake to the Mississippi.
In preindustrial times, the winding river was some 24 miles (about 40 km) from the Saint Louis to the start of the portage. Prior to the channelization of the river described above, Muskeg Lake, several miles to the south of the start of the portage, was considered to be the source. In truth, both Wolf and Muskeg Lakes were open areas of water in the same enormous and impassable marsh then known as the "Great Savannah", and travellers took the portage to avoid the worst part of this marsh. With the channelization of the river, Muskeg Lake is no longer open water, and the actual distance from the start of the portage to the river's outlet is only , as the meanders have been substantially eliminated.

Holywell Hall is a building of historical significance in Lincolnshire and is listed on the English Heritage Register. The house is in the civil parish of
Careby Aunby and Holywell in the district of South Kesteven, south-west Lincolnshire, in England. It is a 17th-century country house which was built by the Goodhall family and then purchased by the Reynardson family who owned it for the next two hundred years. It is a Grade II* listed building and now a venue for special events particularly weddings.
Early owners
Records show that there has been a manor at Holywell since the 12th century or earlier and a well is still present beneath an old yew tree near the lake. In 1575 Holywell was purchased by Robert Goodhall and later his family built a large L-shaped house of which the core and a gable end remain. The Goodhall family were wealthy landowners and their pedigree chart is shown. By 1729 however they experienced financial hardship and it was decided to sell Holywell Hall. Lady Mary Barnardiston bought the property and gave it to her nephew Samuel Reynardson. She also made him trustee of her very large fortune.
Samuel Reynardson (1704-1797) was born in 1704. His father was Jacob Reynardson (1652-1719) and his grandfather was Sir Abraham Reynardson, the Lord Mayor of London. In 1732 at the time of his marriage to Sarah Knipe (1706-1763) he made substantial alterations and additions to Holywell Hall. He later commissioned the astronomer and landscape architect Thomas Wright to lay out the extensive gardens.
When Samuel died in 1797 his son Jacob Reynardson (1742-1811) inherited the house. In 1777 he married Anne Cust, daughter of Sir John Cust, 3rd Baronet of Belton House whose picture is shown at this reference. The couple had no sons so their eldest daughter Etheldred Ann Reynardson inherited the property when Jacob died in 1811. She married in 1806 General Thomas Birch who took the additional name of Reynardson when the couple became the owners of Hollywell Hall.
General Thomas Birch Reynardson (1773-1847) had a distinguished military career. He rose rapidly through the ranks of 16th Light Dragoons and in 1800 received a medal. He was fond of reading books and was interested in poetry and on one occasion in 1820 invited the famous poet John Clare to Holywell Hall. Clare recorded his visit in his diary in the following terms.
"General Birch Reynardson expressed a desire to see me and invited me to come to Holywell which I did in the beginning of April. It was a pleasant day for the season and I found the scenery of Holywell very beautiful. He showed me his library which was the largest I had seen and he pulled out of the crammed shelves a thin Quarto beautifully bound in red morocco. He said they were love elegies written by his father and of course in his mind were beautiful.
I then went to see the garden and strolled a little about the park. A little river went sweeping along and in one place General Birch Reynardson was forming a connection with it to form an island. In one sunny spot was a large dial and near it under the shadows of some evergreens was a bird house built in the form of a cage – glass all around and full of canaries that were fluttering about busily employed in building their nests."
Shortly after his visit Clare was inspired to write a poem called “Holywell” which he published in his 1821 book of poems. This poem can be read at this reference.
Later owners
When General Birch Reynardson died in 1847 his son Charles Thomas Samuel Birch Reynardson (1810-1889) inherited Holywell Hall. He was educated at the University of Cambridge. In 1855 he married Anne Yorke, daughter of Simon Yorke of Erddig, Denbighshire. Her picture is shown. The couple had one son and three daughters. Charles had a strong interest in driving coaches and he wrote a book called “Down the Road: Reminiscences of a Gentleman Coachman”. When Charles died in 1889 his son Charles Birch Reynardson inherited the property.
Colonel Charles Birch Reynardson (1845-1919) was an officer in the Grenadier Guards. In 1875 he married Emma Maria Stracey. The couple had two daughters. Their eldest daughter Miriam inherited Holywell when Charles died in 1919. She had previously married in 1896 Arthur Acland Hood (1859-1929) the son of Sir Alexander Fuller-Acland-Hood, 3rd Baronet. When the couple became the owners of the property they changed their name to Acland Hood Reynaldson in accordance with the terms of the inheritance. They had one son and one daughter. Unfortunately their son died in the War in 1916. Their only surviving child was Agatha.
Agatha Isabel Acland-Hood-Reynardson (1903-1993) married Major Hon. Mountjoy John Charles Wedderburn Fane in 1926.
The event was held at Holywell Hall and was widely reported in the newspapers. One account is as follows.
"One of the most interesting society weddings of the season was that solemnised today at St Marys Church Holywell near Stamford when the Hon. Mountjoy Fane of Little Ponton Hall Grantham, younger son of the late Earl and Countess of Westmorland led to the alter Miss Agatha Isabel Acland-Hood-Reynardson of Holywell Hall Stamford.
Wearing a magnificent gown of crème crepe romaine bordered with silver and adorned with a girdle of diamante the bride made a radiant figure. The train to the gown also of crepe romaine was embroidered in silver and lined with pale pink chiffon. Her veil was of pink tulle and she carried lovely bouquet of arum lilies."
When her father died in 1929 Agatha inherited Holywell Hall and the couple came to live there for many years. She became the Lady of the Manor and Justice of the Peace. They were frequently mentioned in the society newspapers. In 1954 they decided to sell Holywell Hall and move to “The Old Rectory” at Careby.

The Great Escarpment in eastern Australia is an escarpment that runs east of the Great Dividing Range along most of the east of the continent. It was created due to formation of a new continental margin in the Mesozoic, followed by tectonic uplifting of the divide and then scarp retreat. The escarpment is estimated to be approximately in length, from north to south.
Formation
The Great Escarpment formed about 80 million years ago due to scarp retreat from a new continental edge formed by rifting.
This was similar to the model in the western rift of East Africa. The Great Divide is an upwarp that lies tens or hundreds of kilometers from the chasmic fault of the continental margin, creating a drainage divide.
The sequence of formation appears to have started with erosion of the plain and formation of a river pattern. The traces of these rivers can still be seen. There were then widespread flows of basalt, after which the Great Divide lifted, and finally the Great Escarpment formed through scarp retreat.
Description
The Great Escarpment rises to several hundred meters. To the east, the coastal zone is relatively flat with fast erosional process rate and few landscape palaeoforms. To the west there are many palaeoforms and process rates are slow. The escarpment forms a series of bluffs along the eastern edge of plateau that stretches east from the Great Dividing Range. In places the escarpment is between closer to the sea than the range. The escarpment is cut by narrow gorges that carry rivers to the sea. These rivers have eroded the tableland between the Great Divide and the escarpment, sometimes leaving parts of the plateau standing out in isolation to the east. Escarpment retreat along the river valleys in the New England region appears to be progressing at about per million years.

Immingham (Eastern Jetty) railway station was a special excursion station built along the port's eastern jetty to cater for traffic to passenger ships on cruises to the North Cape, Norwegian Fjords and the Baltic.
The station was not much more than a long wooden platform along the jetty. It was only used for the transfer of the passengers and luggage from train to ship and vice versa so little in the way of facilities was needed or provided. The critical provision was numerous staff to guide travellers and handle their belongings.
Traffic
The cruise ships sometimes berthed in the dock itself, but usually they moored at the seaward side of the jetty where they were adjacent to all-First Class, Restaurant Car special trains. These operated along two routes:
to and from and with a connecting carriage from Liverpool Central, and
to and from , travelling either via and the Waleswood Curve or via the LDECR and . In both cases they then used the main line via .
Locomotives
Originally these trains were hauled by Great Central Railway 4-6-0 locomotives but following grouping in 1922 Great Northern Railway motive power took many of them over.
Spectacle
Visits by such ships drew crowds of sightseers and passed into local folklore, none more so than the vessel which was torpedoed in 1940 with heavy loss of life.
Closure
The cruises terminated in 1939, just prior to the Second World War. Although the platform remained for some time, the station was effectively closed. One source suggests GCR passenger vessels plied between here, Antwerp, Hamburg and Rotterdam.
Afterlife
By 2015 the tracks on the jetty had long been lifted, but the structure remained well used, handling oils, spirits, and liquid chemicals.

Influenza A virus subtype H1N2 (A/H1N2) is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus (sometimes called bird flu virus). It is currently endemic in pig populations and is occasionally seen in humans.
The virus does not cause more severe illness than other influenza viruses, and no unusual increases in influenza activity have been associated with it.
History
Between December 1988 and March 1989, 19 influenza H1N2 virus isolates were identified in 6 cities in China, but the virus did not spread further.
A(H1N2) was identified during the 2001–02 flu season (northern hemisphere) in Canada, the U.S., Ireland, Latvia, France, Romania, Oman, India, Malaysia, and Singapore with earliest documented outbreak of the virus occurring in India on May 31, 2001.
On February 6, 2002, the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva and the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) in the United Kingdom reported the identification influenza A(H1N2) virus from humans in the UK, Israel, and Egypt.
The 2001–02 Influenza A(H1N2) Wisconsin strain appears to have resulted from the reassortment of the genes of the currently circulating influenza A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) subtypes.
In March 2018 a single case of H1N2 was identified in a 19-month-old in the Netherlands.
In January 2019 a single case of H1N2 was identified in Sweden.
Because the hemagglutinin protein of the virus is similar to that of the currently circulating A(H1N1) viruses and the neuraminidase protein is similar to that of the current A(H3N2) viruses, the seasonal flu vaccine should provide good protection against influenza virus as well as protection against the currently circulating seasonal A(H1N1), A(H3N2), and B viruses.
In October 2020, a case of the H1N2 variant H1N2v was confirmed in Alberta, Canada and was the first confirmed human case in the country.
In September 2021, a case was found in France.

The Garden: Visions of Paradise (US title: Paradise on Earth: The Gardens of Western Europe; ) is a 1994 illustrated monograph on gardens and cultural history of gardening. Written by the Franco-Dutch garden designer and landscape architect Gabrielle van Zuylen, and published in pocket format by Éditions Gallimard as the volume in their 'Découvertes' collection (known as 'New Horizons' in the United Kingdom, and 'Abrams Discoveries' in the United States).
Introduction
The book is part of the series (formerly belonging to series) in the 'Découvertes Gallimard' collection. According to the tradition of 'Découvertes', which is based on an abundant pictorial documentation and a way of bringing together visual documents and texts, enhanced by printing on coated paper, as commented in L'Express, 'genuine monographs, published like art books'. It's almost like a 'graphic novel', replete with colour plates.
The book has been reprinted several times, and translated into English (UK & US), Italian, Japanese, Russian, South Korean, Turkish, traditional (Taiwan) and simplified Chinese (China). A new edition came out in 2013, featuring the same cover motif with a colour adjustment.
In a sense of searching for the lost paradise, Van Zuylen traces in the book the history of gardens from Genesis. The history of gardens is as old as that of the world since it is God, they say, who had the idea of creating the first 'green space' on this still arid land where there were neither bushes nor grass, and placed there the man whom he had formed. After the loss of paradise, man has not stopped trying to recreate it artificially ever since. Philosophical, religious, humanist, even licentious, the garden has also had, in its history, a political purpose. On the other hand, the author explains, the garden is for aesthetic delight, purely artistic, in corresponding with the state of creating a painting. A place solely for art and pleasure.
Synopsis
This elegantly and beautifully illustrated pocket book deals with the history of Western gardens in a professional way, from antiquity (chap. I, 'The Gardens of Antiquity and the Legacy of Islam': Mesopotamian, Persian, Greek and Roman gardens), medieval Europe (chap. II, 'The Medieval Garden'), Renaissance Italy (chap. III, 'The Gardens of Renaissance Italy'), Classical France (chap. IV, 'Formality Triumphant: The Classic French Garden'), 18th-century England (chap. V, 'Planting Pictures: The English Landscape Garden') up to the modern day (chap. VI, 'From Eclecticism to Modernism': for instance, the Parc André Citroën). The book provides numerous historical documents in its second part—the 'Documents' section—which contains a compilation of excerpts divided into seven parts: 1, The origins of European gardens; 2, Gardens of the Middle Ages; 3, The Renaissance; 4, The royal gardens of France; 5, Art or nature?; 6, The diversity of 20th-century gardening; 7, Gardens of the New World. It closes with a glossary, list of the great European gardens, excerpts from the Florence Charter, further reading, list of illustrations and index.
Van Zuylen explains in the book the origin and meaning of a number of historical terms:
Persian : via Alexander the Great the Greeks became familiar with the phenomenon of ornamental garden—the Persian —characterised by a watercourse in cross form, the Charbagh.
Epicureanism: 'happiness lies in moderation and refinement', refers to an eponymous philosopher and gardener in Classical and Hellenistic Athens.
: originally the place dedicated to a local god (a protective spirit), later the specific attributes or special significance of a piece of landscape.
: with the Romans, originally a place for cultivation of vegetables or fruits, later that is combined with water, trellis work and murals. Currently it means 'garden' as in horticulture.
It is natural using French sources in an English garden book, especially with regard to the medieval gardens, such as the frescoes from the Palais des Papes in Avignon and illustrations from the Bibliothèque nationale de France. But the author didn't forget to include some German sources, with being one of them.
It goes without saying that the glory of classical French garden culture and the dynasties of famous garden designers are discussed: Claude and Jacques Mollet (inventor of the parterres de broderie), André Le Nôtre (known for the gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte, Versailles and the Jardin du Luxembourg).
A less well known figure, Peter Joseph Lenné, a 19th-century Prussian gardener and landscape architect who worked in Potsdam and Berlin (Klein Glienicke, Pfaueninsel and Tiergarten).
Following the Viennese Prater as the first public park, Napoleon III commissioned around 1850 the prefect of the Seine department, baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann to direct the renovation of Paris. Haussmann worked with the engineer Adolphe Alphand and the gardener Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps, they changed the closed hunting forest Bois de Boulogne into a recreation park for the Parisian public. At the same time, Frederick Law Olmsted designed the Central Park in New York City.
Then in the modern times, the beloved gardens of Gertrude Jekyll (Munstead Wood), Vita Sackville-West (Sissinghurst Castle Garden) and Major Lawrence Johnston (Hidcote Manor Garden). The current canon of the good garden: a formal structure in combination with an informal planting, especially the perennials.
Van Zuylen closes her book with a reflection:
Interview
An interview between Van Zuylen and Éditions Gallimard took place on the occasion of the publication of , the author described that pleasure is the primary purpose of a garden, the gardens have always been called 'pleasure gardens'. There are also three main functions of the garden: the sacred – 'sacred enclosure', the place blessed by gods; the power – the great gardens of Cyrus in Persia were wonderful paradises, but also masterful demonstrations of power; the domestic – the small, useful and popular city gardens.
The Romans were the first to have the aesthetic concern of nature, for them, the garden was the counterpart of architecture. In the Middle Ages, the garden also played a very important role, but in another sense: it was walled, protected from the outside. It was the secret garden, the garden of delights, allegory and theatre of love. The large classical gardens of the monarchy at Vaux-le-Vicomte and Versailles, the gardens à la française. In the eighteenth-century England, on the contrary, with the landscape gardens developed by the large landowners which are far from the court. The garden is truly a mirror, the counterpart of the social, political and artistic history of a civilisation.
Reception
On Babelio, the book has an average of 3.68/5 based on 17 ratings. Goodreads reported, based on 8 ratings, the UK edition gets an average of 4.25 out of 5, and the US edition 3.33/5 based on 3 ratings, indicating 'generally positive opinions'.
In the French magazine L'ŒIL, an anonymous author thinks the book is 'fascinating'.

Palestina Zein "Tina" Isa (December 3, 1972 – November 6, 1989) was an American teenage girl murdered in an honor killing in St. Louis, Missouri by her parents, Zein and Maria Isa. Her death was recorded on audiotape during Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) surveillance on Zein Isa due to his association with the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO). He and his wife were both convicted for first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Zein Isa died of diabetes before he could be executed. Maria Isa was later resentenced to life imprisonment and died in prison.
Background
Palestina Zein Isa, named after Palestine, was born on December 6, 1972, in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The youngest of seven siblings, she lived in a southern portion of the City of St. Louis in an apartment complex, and attended Dewey Junior High School and Roosevelt High School in St. Louis. Her father was a Muslim Palestinian, Zein Isa, who originated from Beitin, West Bank. Her mother, Maria Isa, was Brazilian and a Roman Catholic. As a result, Tina was of German, Italian, Palestinian, and some indigenous South American descent. She learned Arabic and Portuguese from her parents and Spanish during her time living in Puerto Rico.
Zein al-Abdeen Hassan Isa, born on June 3, 1931, was the third son of a farmer. While a teenager, he married a woman named Foiziya, his double first cousin. In the 1950s, Zein left Palestine, emigrating with members of neighboring families. He first lived in the south of Brazil and, while on a business trip to Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso, met Maria Matias (born August 10, 1943), a native of Mato Grosso who had been born in Santa Catarina. She was of German, Italian, and South American native descent.
On February 6, 1963, the two married despite the opposition of Maria's parents. Zein did not reveal to Maria that she was his second wife until after they had married. They moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in fall 1963, then to Paterson, New Jersey; Arecibo, Puerto Rico; back to Rondonópolis; then to Cáceres, Mato Grosso. Tina was born in Mato Grosso.
The family moved back to Puerto Rico, living in Arecibo until moving to Isabela one year later. During this time, the father, without the mother, lived with his children in the West Bank for periods of time.
In 1980, Zein became a naturalized citizen of the United States. The entire family moved to Beitin in the West Bank when Tina was five. The family came to St. Louis around 1986 and owned a grocery store there. Tina began learning English after arriving in St. Louis, where her friends gave her the nickname "Tina". In 1991, Tim Bryant of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote in regards to the parents, "Neither speaks English well."
Tina's relationship with her father deteriorated after she turned 14; in earlier years they had enjoyed a closer relationship. She listened to American popular music such as hip hop, dance, rap, R&B, and rock. Tina Isa's ambition was to become a pilot after taking aeronautical engineering courses; she intended to do pursue this training at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology (part of St. Louis University). Zein wanted to arrange Tina as a marriage partner to a man from his hometown. Isa's elder sisters stated their dislike of her lifestyle. Her family sent people to extract her from a prom dance she attended. When her family learned that she, since January 1989, was engaged in a romantic relationship with a 20-year-old African-American, Cliff Walker, Tina's parents grew even angrier.
Zein Isa held grudges against African-Americans because he believed Palestinian businesspeople had been targeted by black criminals.
Prior to his daughter's murder, Zein made telephone calls stating that Tina had damaged the honor of his family and needed to die. On the day of her death, she worked her first day at a Wendy's fast food restaurant; the family also opposed the idea of her not working for the family's grocery business. Ellen Harris, author of Guarding the Secrets, wrote that "The problem was that Tina thought of herself as American or hyphenated-American, not as Arab."
Death
Her murder took place at the Delor Park Apartments, in her family's residence. Isa's boyfriend walked her home after the first day of her job. Initially, her parents criticized her for having the outside job and later stated a belief that she was doing something else instead of working. Zein Isa stabbed his daughter with a boning knife. One of her lungs, her liver, and her heart were severely damaged by six blows to her chest. Maria Isa assisted Zein by holding Tina. FBI agents were not at the surveillance unit when the killing happened.
Tina Isa was buried at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Florissant, Missouri, reportedly in a bridal gown. Her Brazilian mother said unmarried girls and women in Brazil who die are buried accordingly. The family intentionally did not provide notice of the funeral to the media to ensure that only people from the family, the local Palestinian community and people from Beitin attended. They expressly did not want Tina's boyfriend to attend. FBI agents secretly monitored and photographed the proceedings.
Investigation, arrest, and trial
Zein Isa was a member of the Abu Nidal Organization, which at the time he murdered his daughter, was plotting to bomb the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. Harris wrote that "His daughters had long worried about Zein's ANO activities."
A crucial factor in his trial was the fact that the FBI had bugged Zein's house on a FISA order in connection with his suspected terrorist activities, and as such, had recorded Tina's murder on an audio cassette. This was especially important in confirming the fact that Maria was an active participant in the murder, and that Zein's claim of self-defense against Tina was false. Zein had accused Tina of asking for $5,000 and of grabbing a knife, and Isa's lawyers represented to the jury that Tina had kicked her father in the leg, which they stated had previously sustained injuries, and that she had wielded a meat cleaver as a weapon.
The New York Times wrote in 1991, "Since the F.B.I. has refused to discuss the tapes, only some of which were used at the trial, it is not clear whether the authorities could have intervened to prevent the killing." FBI officials stated that several of Isa's statements before the killing were empty threats, and that this is why the agency took no action before Tina died. The state-level prosecutor, Dee Joyce-Hayes, used several FBI tapes as evidence in the trial against Zein and Maria Isa. Maria's lawyers argued that Maria had favored Tina in family disputes and that she could not have assisted the murder. On October 25, 1991, Zein and Maria Isa were convicted of first-degree murder. The jury discussed the circumstances for fewer than four hours before deciding that the suspects committed first-degree murder. On December 20, 1991, the two were sentenced to death by the jury; Circuit Judge Charles A. Shaw stated "Culture is no excuse for murder. I see no reason to deviate from the jury's recommendation."
In April 1993, Zein was indicted by the FBI in connection with his terrorist activities within the Abu Nidal Organization: the federal prosecutors issuing the indictment accused Zein of killing Tina partly because he feared she could expose his ANO activities. The charges were later dropped, as he was already on death row for his daughter's murder.
The case received media coverage in Brazil. Zein was to be sent to Potosi Correctional Center in Potosi, Missouri, while Maria was to be sent to the Jefferson City, Missouri-area Renz Prison. He later died of complications of diabetes on February 17, 1997. Maria's death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment without parole; she died on April 30, 2014, in a Vandalia, Missouri, prison at the age of 70, from apparent natural causes.
Aftermath
As a result of the case, some Palestinian families resident in the U.S. sent their children back to Palestine to avoid their undergoing Americanization.
Cultural references
A book titled Guarding the Secrets, written by Ellen Harris, was published in 1995 which documents the murder. In the book, she stated a journalist from Palestine compared the murder to the ancient biblical story of Dinah. The case was depicted on the Forensic Files season 8 episode "Honour Thy Father" which aired on July 30, 2005. The case was also featured on an episode of Arrest & Trial.

Gatis is a Latvian masculine given name borne by over 5,000 men in Latvia. The etymology of the name is disputed. Some of the suggestions include a possible relation to the Latvian word gatavs ("ready", "mature"). Other versions suggest its possible relation to an old Latvian word "gātis" meaning gates or river source. Another version suggests that the word is derived from the German name Gotthard. Its name-day is celebrated on 8 January.
The name is one of the relatively few surviving names of indigenous origin from among the great number that were revived or introduced during the Latvian National Awakening of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In mathematics, especially in linear algebra and matrix theory, the vectorization of a matrix is a linear transformation which converts the matrix into a vector. Specifically, the vectorization of a matrix A, denoted vec(A), is the column vector obtained by stacking the columns of the matrix A on top of one another:
Here, represents the element in the i-th row and j-th column of A, and the superscript denotes the transpose. Vectorization expresses, through coordinates, the isomorphism between these (i.e., of matrices and vectors) as vector spaces.
For example, for the 2×2 matrix , the vectorization is .
The connection between the vectorization of A and the vectorization of its transpose is given by the commutation matrix.
Compatibility with Kronecker products
The vectorization is frequently used together with the Kronecker product to express matrix multiplication as a linear transformation on matrices. In particular,
for matrices A, B, and C of dimensions k×l, l×m, and m×n. For example, if (the adjoint endomorphism of the Lie algebra of all n×n matrices with complex entries), then , where is the n×n identity matrix.
There are two other useful formulations:
More generally, it has been shown that vectorization is a self-adjunction in the monoidal closed structure of any category of matrices.
Compatibility with Hadamard products
Vectorization is an algebra homomorphism from the space of matrices with the Hadamard (entrywise) product to Cn2 with its Hadamard product:
Compatibility with inner products
Vectorization is a unitary transformation from the space of n×n matrices with the Frobenius (or Hilbert–Schmidt) inner product to Cn2:
where the superscript † denotes the conjugate transpose.
Vectorization as a linear sum
The matrix vectorization operation can be written in terms of a linear sum. Let X be an matrix that we want to vectorize, and let ei be the i-th canonical basis vector for the n-dimensional space, that is . Let Bi be a block matrix defined as follows:
Bi consists of n block matrices of size , stacked column-wise, and all these matrices are all-zero except for the i-th one, which is a identity matrix Im.
Then the vectorized version of X can be expressed as follows:
Multiplication of X by ei extracts the i-th column, while multiplication by Bi puts it into the desired position in the final vector.
Alternatively, the linear sum can be expressed using the Kronecker product:
Half-vectorization
For a symmetric matrix A, the vector vec(A) contains more information than is strictly necessary, since the matrix is completely determined by the symmetry together with the lower triangular portion, that is, the entries on and below the main diagonal. For such matrices, the half-vectorization is sometimes more useful than the vectorization. The half-vectorization, vech(A), of a symmetric matrix A is the column vector obtained by vectorizing only the lower triangular part of A:
For example, for the 2×2 matrix , the half-vectorization is .
There exist unique matrices transforming the half-vectorization of a matrix to its vectorization and vice versa called, respectively, the duplication matrix and the elimination matrix.
Programming language
Programming languages that implement matrices may have easy means for vectorization.
In Matlab/GNU Octave a matrix A can be vectorized by A(:).
GNU Octave also allows vectorization and half-vectorization with vec(A) and vech(A) respectively. Julia has the vec(A) function as well.
In Python NumPy arrays implement the flatten method, while in R the desired effect can be achieved via the c() or as.vector() functions. In R, function vec() of package 'ks' allows vectorization and function vech() implemented in both packages 'ks' and 'sn' allows half-vectorization.
Applications
Vectorization is used in matrix calculus and its applications in establishing e.g., moments of random vectors and matrices, asymptotics, as well as Jacobian and Hessian matrices.
It is also used in local sensitivity and statistical diagnostics.
