Pseudocorynopoma doriae, or the dragonfin tetra, is a species of freshwater fish in the genus Pseudocorynopoma. It is native to inland waters in South America.
Description
Pseudocorynopoma doriae has an elongated, flattened body. The mouth is large, pointing upwards diagonally, with fine teeth. The eyes are large. The fins are large, with the exception of the pelvic fin. Both anal and dorsal fins when folded reach the root of the caudal plumage. The caudal fin is bilobate, with equal lobes. The basic coloration is brown with silvery reflections. Along the body runs a horizontal band, which, depending on the origin of the fish may be cream, white or bluish-silver. There is also another black line running from the base of the dorsal fin to the caudal fin. The gills and ventral area are white. The fins are yellow-orange in color, but at the same time almost transparent. Males have large pectoral, dorsal and anal fins, while females fins are of normal size. The maximum size of fish is 8 cm.
Environment
The rivers where this species is found have a pH range of 6.0 - 7.5. This is a tropical species, and the range temperature is around 20 °C - 24 °C . These fish stay at depths of up to 1 m, at low currents (estuaries, marshes, flooded areas, lagoons, streams, irrigation and drainage canals, and small watercourses). The fish always live close to the shore and vegetation, as they can find shelter from many predators there. These fish do not live in the channels of large rivers.
Diet
The dragonfin tetra is an omnivorous fish, feeding mainly on small invertebrates such as water fleas, ringworms, small shrimps, insect larvae, and flying insects. Zooplankton is also part of their diet. The fish also eat algae, soft plant leaves, and the eggs of other fish.

The AN/SPG-59 was an advanced PESA phased array radar developed by the U.S. Navy starting in 1958. It was one of the earliest phased array radars. AN/SPG-59 was intended to offer search, track and guidance from a single radar system and antenna as part of the Typhon combat system. Paired with the new Typhon missile, the system was to provide wide-area air defense out to about from suitable anti-aircraft cruisers. Both the radar and missile proved to be well beyond the state of the art of the era, and the project was eventually canceled in December 1963.
The Typhon Combat System
The Typhon/SPG-59 started as a response to the introduction of sea-skimming anti-ship missiles into service with Soviet Naval Aviation groups. First-generation missile systems like Talos and Terrier used a combination of beam riding and semi-active radar homing (SARH) that required a special targeting radar to illuminate the target through the entire interception. Typical installations included either two or four such illumination radars, which limited the number of simultaneous interceptions. Facing volleys of missiles such systems could easily be overwhelmed.
Adding additional radars was possible, but difficult to arrange as the radars were fairly large and required a clear view of the sky, limiting the number of suitable locations. This led to a "specification convergence"; since there could only be a small number of radars, the missile receivers were built to tune in only a small number of potential "channels". That meant that increasing the number of radars would also require the missiles to be updated as well.
System Characteristics
The AN/SPG-59 avoided this problem by acting as both the search and illumination radar. This reduced the problem of siting, as there needed to be only one radar on the ship, albeit a very large one. The Typhon missiles also helped solve this problem, switching from semi-active radar homing, and beam riding to tracking by a track-via-missile system. In this system the receiver on the missile is a wide-band receiver, and forwards its received signals back to the ship. The ship's on-board computers then calculate the interception course and forward it back to the missile from an omni-directional antenna. This is similar to the older command guidance system, but avoids the inaccuracies of that system by locating the receiver on the missile, which is closer to the target and therefore sees a stronger signal. Although this system required the missiles to be able to tune in a number of command radio channels, these are generally much simpler and smaller than radar receivers, allowing a much larger number of channels to be supported.
Development Problems
Development of the radar suffered from multiple problems from its start. The phased array radar required a very large number of individual broadcaster elements which proved to be unreliable and very expensive. Additionally, the power requirements of the system were so huge that only nuclear-powered ships could provide the necessary power to operate the system. Although such ships were then under construction, they were politically controversial. The radar was canceled in December 1965 (?), because of mounting technical problems and being considerably over budget.
One of the developmental failures was that of a ferrite 1:2 switch. It was a half-height WR-159 waveguide design that required a constant holding current of 1.2 amperes at ? volts to switch. There were 100+ of these switches in the system. About this time, a technique was discovered or invented that used a current pulse for switching and did not require the steady holding current. Thus, the switch design was obsolete even as they were being manufactured.
The 1:2 switch also failed high power test. When fed the kilowatt+ microwave energy from the system TWT, the ferrite lost its magnetic properties and it became a 1:2 power divider rather than a switch with a 20 dB isolation between the 2 output ports. This had a devastating effect on the radar's transmit beamforming. (WFJ)
Typhon Test Vessel
In November 1962 was towed to Baltimore, Maryland for installation of the Typhon Weapon Control System, including the AN/SPG-59. The conversion was completed early in 1964, and Norton Sound was recommissioned 20 June 1964 to continue tasks in weapons research. Baltimore was designated homeport for Norton Sound, and for several months she operated in Chesapeake Bay, evaluating the Typhon System. Assigned to Port Hueneme, California in July 1965, she arrived there the last day of that month. During a three-month stay at Long Beach Naval Shipyard commencing 15 July 1966, all Typhon equipment was removed following discontinuance of the system.

Innocent passage is a concept in the law of the sea that allows for a vessel to pass through the archipelagic and territorial waters of another state, subject to certain restrictions. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea Article 19 defines innocent passage as:
Innocent passage concedes the coastal country's territorial sea claim, unlike freedom of navigation, which directly contests it.
History
Initially, the right of innocent passage in the current sense began to take shape in the 1840s (as a customary rule) with the development of world trade and the emergence of steamships navigation, for which it was economically significant to use the shortest possible route often through the coastal waters of a foreign state.
The law was codified in the 1958 Geneva Convention and affirmed in the 1982 UNCLOS.

Alexander Forbes Irvine, 20th Laird of Drum FRSE JP DL LLD (1818–1892) was a Scottish landowner, advocate, philosopher and amateur astronomer. He was a prominent member of Clan Irvine and held the family seat of Drum Castle until his death.
Life
He was born at Schivas House near the village of Tarves in Aberdeenshire on 18 February 1818, the son of Margaret Hamilton of the Hamiltons of Little Earnick, and Alexander Forbes Irvine, 19th Laird of Drum (1777-1861). He was a friend of his near neighbour, Cosmo Innes, and their careers followed very parallel paths. Other friends included William Forbes Skene of Rubbislaw and Sir David Lindsay.
He was home tutored rather than attending school, then studied law first at Marischal College in the University of Aberdeen then at the University of Edinburgh. He passed the Scottish bar as an advocate in 1848 and rose to be Dean of the Faculty of Advocates. He was Principal Clerk of the Justiciary Court 1867 to 1874 and Sheriff of Argyll from 1874 to 1891.
He inherited the Drum Estate in 1861, on the death of his father. In 1875/1876, he arranged for a restoration of the courtyard, and the addition of an arched entrance and angle tower. He was also partly responsible for a restoration of the chapel.
In 1878, Forbes was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Sir Alexander Grant, Charles Neaves, Lord Neaves, Edward Sang and Peter Guthrie Tait. He twice served as Vice President to the Society: 1883 to 1887 and 1890 to 1892.
In 1886, he co-founded the New Spalding Club. In 1887 the University of Edinburgh awarded him an honorary doctorate (LLD).
He died at Drum Castle on 4 April 1892.
Family
In 1848 he married Anna Margaretta Forbes-Leslie (d.1900), daughter of Lt Col Jonathan Leslie of Rothienorman, a noted amateur archaeologist.
Their children were Alexander Charles Quentin Hamilton Irvine and Francis Hugh Forbes Irvine, 21st Laird of Drum (1854-1894).
He was survived by two brothers: James Hamilton Irvine, who went to live in North Gippsland in Australia; and Sir Charles Irvine of the Indian Army.
Artistic recognition
He was painted by George Reid PRSA.

Il demonio (English: The Demon) is a 1963 Italian horror film directed by Brunello Rondi. The film premiered at the 24th Venice International Film Festival.
Plot
Purificata "Purif" is a lonely, uninhibited young peasant living in a small village of Lucania, where she is treated as a pariah by the locals. Purif has an unhealthy obsession with Antonio, an engaged man, and makes desperate, inappropriate attempts to court him. Though attracted to Purif, Antonio denies her. On one occasion, Purif tricks Antonio into drinking wine laced with her blood, and then claims he is cursed to die. Purif continues to stalk Antonio, and watches his wedding procession from a distance, but goes into a rage outside the cathedral.
While Antonio and his wife prepare to consummate the marriage, Puri attempts to place another curse outside the house using a dead cat, but is chased away by villagers who are monitoring at Antonio's behest. Puri flees outside of the town, and is met by a sheep herder who binds her arms and legs before raping her. The following morning, while bathing in a creek, Purif is greeted by Salvatore, an adolescent boy who has apparently recovered from a long illness. Shortly after having this encounter, Purif learns that Salvatore is on his deathbed, and that a priest has read him his last rites.
Puri goes to Salvatore's home, where she finds the boy has just died, surrounded by family members. They accuse her of being a witch, and she is taken away by Father Tommaso. Puri, claiming she has spoken to Satan and is cursed due to her practice of witchcraft, is subsequently placed in the care of Zio Giuseppe, a local charlatan whom Puri's family believes can cleanse her soul; however, Giuseppe merely exploits the situation, using it as an opportunity to sexually violate Puri. After leaving Giuseppe's, Puri encounters Antonio plowing a field. She pleads with him, but he aggressively denies her, pushing her onto the ground and threatening her.
That night, Puri awakens in her bed with no control of her body, experiencing apparent demonic possession. The local parish attempts to identify the demon and exorcise Puri, to no success. The villagers begin to harass Puri, attempting to burn her alive. Puri's parents dig a hole on their property and create a makeshift bedroom for her, which they cover with wood planks and soil to keep her hidden from the locals. However, when Antonio arrives and calls out her name, Puri begins to respond, leading to the villagers discovering her hiding place.
Puri flees, and begins walking aimlessly near a convent, where nuns witness her hugging a tree. The nuns decide to help her, but Puri attempts to strangle one of them when she recites the trinitarian formula. Meanwhile, Antonio begins to exhibit welts on his body, apparently from Puri's curse. He seeks help from Giuseppe, who instructs him to create a bonfire in the center of town using old-growth wood, which Giuseppe claims will rid the village of Puri. In the midst of the bonfire, in which the other villagers are participating, Antonio is met by Puri, who leads him away. The two fall to the ground and engage in sex. At dawn, Antonio awakens and stabs Puri to death.

Equol (4',7-isoflavandiol) is an isoflavandiol estrogen metabolized from daidzein, a type of isoflavone found in soybeans and other plant sources, by bacterial flora in the intestines. While endogenous estrogenic hormones such as estradiol are steroids, equol is a nonsteroidal estrogen. Only about 30–50% of people have intestinal bacteria that make equol.
History
(S)-Equol was first isolated from horse urine in 1932, and the name was suggested by this equine connection. Since then, equol has been found in the urine or plasma of many other animal species, although these animals have significant differences in their ability to metabolize daidzein into equol. In 1980, scientists reported the discovery of equol in humans. The ability of (S)-equol to play a role in the treatment of estrogen- or androgen-mediated diseases or disorders was first proposed in 1984.
Chemical structure
Equol is a compound that can exist in two mirror-image forms known as enantiomers: (S)-equol and (R)-equol. (S)-equol is produced in humans and animals with the ability to metabolize the soy isoflavone daidzein, while (R)-equol can be chemically synthesized. The molecular and physical structure of (S)-equol is similar to that of the hormone estradiol. (S)-Equol preferentially binds estrogen receptor beta.
Pharmacology
Estrogen receptor binding
(S)-equol is a nonsteroidal, selective agonist of ERβ (Ki = 16 nM) with 13-fold selectivity for ERβ over ERα. Relative to (S)-equol, (R)-equol is less potent and binds to ERα (Ki = 50 nM) with 3.5-fold selectivity over ERβ. (S)-Equol has about 2% of estradiol's binding affinity for human estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and 20% of estradiol's binding affinity for human estrogen receptor beta (ERβ). The preferential binding of (S)-equol to ERβ vs. ERα and in comparison to that of estradiol suggests the molecule may share some of the characteristics of a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Equol has been found to act as an agonist of the GPER (GPR30).
Pharmacokinetics
(S)-Equol is a very stable molecule that essentially remains unchanged when digested, and this lack of further metabolism explains its very quick absorption and high bioavailability.
When (S)-equol is consumed, it is rapidly absorbed and achieves a Tmax (rate of peak plasma concentration) in two to three hours. In comparison, the Tmax of daidzein is 4 to 10 hours because daidzein exists in glycoside (with a glucose side chain) form. The body must convert daidzein to its aglycone form (without the glucose side chain) via removal of the sugar side chain during digestion before it can use daidzein. If consumed directly in aglycone form, daidzein has a Tmax of one to three hours.
The percent fractional elimination of (S)-equol in urine after oral administration is high and in some adults can reach close to 100 percent. The percent fractional elimination of daidzein is much lower at 30 to 40 percent.
Production in humans
To produce (S)-equol after soy consumption, humans must have certain strains of bacteria living within their intestines. Twenty-one different strains of intestinal bacteria cultured from humans have been shown to have the ability to transform daidzein into (S)-equol or a related intermediate compound. Several studies indicate that only 25 to 30 percent of the adult populations of Western countries produce (S)-equol after eating soy foods containing isoflavones, while 50 to 60 percent of adults from Japan, Korea, and China are equol-producers. Vegetarians have also been reported to be more capable of transforming daidzein into (S)-equol. Seaweed and dairy consumption can enhance the production of equol. The ability of a person to produce (S)-equol is determined by testing people who have not taken any antibiotics for at least a month. For this standardized test, the individual drinks two 240 milliliter glasses of soy milk or eats a soy food equivalent for three days. The (S)-equol concentration in each test subject's urine is determined on day four.
Equol producing bacteria
While many more bacteria are involved in the related intermediate process of equol production, such as conversion of daidzin to daidzein, or genistein to 5-Hydroxy-equol, the bacteria that achieve the complete conversion of daidzein to (S)-equol, include:
Adlercreutzia equolifaciens

Julong 732 can also produce (S)-equol.Bifidobacteria: Genomics and Molecular Aspects Some equol producing bacteria, as implied by their nomenclature, are Adlercreutzia equolifaciens, Slackia equolifaciens and Slackia isoflavoniconvertens.
Health effects
Skin health
The topical effects of equol as an anti-aging substance have been shown in different studies. The effects result from both molecular and structural changes to the skin. Equol can, for instance, lead to an increase in telomere length. As an antioxidant, equol can decrease the aging process by reducing damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). It may also act as a protective anti-photoaging substance by inhibiting acute UVA- induced lipid peroxidation. In addition, equol may have a positive impact on epigenetic regulation. Equol's phytoestrogenic properties may also affect skin health. Reduction of dark circles and eye wrinkles after treatment with equol has been reported. Equol may also protect skin from damage by pollution due to its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.
Each of the enantiomers and the racemic mixture of both enantiomers have different characteristics, bioavailabilities and molecular effects. According to one study, (RS)-equol provided the greatest overall improvement in skin health, especially when applied topically.
Other health effects
Beyond topical effects, medicinal equol has been shown to relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and muscle and joint pain. (RS)-equol was also reported to reduce symptoms associated with menopausal vaginal atrophy, such as vaginal itching, vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse and cause positive shifts in the vaginal bacterial population, cell composition, and pH.

The Olmeta (, ) is a small coastal stream in the department of Haute-Corse, Corsica, France.
It enters the Mediterranean Sea from the west of the Cap Corse peninsula.
Course
The Olmeta is long and flows through the commune of Olmeta-di-Capocorso.
It rises in the center of the peninsula between the Monte Prunu to the southwest and the Monte Stello to the northeast.
It flows west past the village of Olmeta-di-Capocorso to enter the sea in the village of Negru.
Its mouth is between the mouths of the Fium'Albino to the south and the Guadu Grande to the north.
Ancient bridge
The Genoese built the Negru Bridge across the Olmeta river to carry the old road to Saint-Florent.
It was in the center of the Marine de Negru, which gives the village of Olmeta di Capocorso access to the sea.
It was among the highest and longest in Corsica.
In 1785 it was damaged by a flood and was repaired by the government of Louis XVI.
The bridge was washed away by the flood of 24 November 2016, leaving only the two piles on each bank of the river.
The Fondation du patrimoine launched a project to rebuild the bridge at a cost of €445,000, with the work scheduled to start in the fall of 2021.
The rebuilt bridge would appear identical to the original, but two "scars" would make it possible to distinguish the surviving piles from the rebuilt part.
Genoese tower
The Tour de Negro or Torra di Negru, a Genoese tower, guards the river's mouth at the north end of the beach.
The tower was one of a series of coastal defenses built by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates.
The tower was built around 1559–1560.

The 1868 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 3, 1868, as part of the 1868 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Missouri was won by Ulysses S. Grant, formerly the 6th Commanding General of the United States Army (R-Ohio), running with Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax, with 56.96% of the popular vote, against the 18th governor of New York, Horatio Seymour (D–New York), running with former Senator Francis Preston Blair Jr., with 43.04% of the vote.
Grant's victory in Missouri made him the first Republican presidential candidate to win the state, although President Abraham Lincoln had won the state on the National Union ticket in 1864. Grant would also be the only Republican to carry the state until Theodore Roosevelt won it in 1904.

The GB Amateur Boxing Championships is an amateur boxing tournament, founded in 2010, in which boxers from England, Scotland and Wales compete over a two-day period. It is hosted by the British Amateur Boxing Association (BABA), which was established in October 2008.
2010 GB Amateur Boxing Championships
The inaugural Amateur Boxing Championships of Britain were held in Echo Arena, Liverpool over 12 and 13 November 2010. These championships saw a repeat of the 60 kg Commonwealth Games final which were held in Delhi earlier in the year, when Salisbry ABC's Tom Stalker took on Josh Taylor of Scotland, once again Stalker earned a narrow victory in front of his home crowd to become the first 60 kg GB champion. The host city also produced the winner of a closely contested female bout at the 60 kg lightweight category, when Rotunda ABC's Natasha Jonas pipped Hartlepool's Amanda Coulson by one point. Rotunda ABC's Callum Smith, the youngest of the Smith brothers, also boxed his way to a gold medal in the 69 kg category when he took on fellow Scouser Anthony Fowler of Golden Gloves ABC. Northside ABC's Tommy Stubbs recorded a victory over Wales' Andrew Selby in the 52 kg Flyweight division. BBC provided coverage of the tournament.
2011 GB Amateur Boxing Championships
The 2011 GB Amateur Boxing Championships were staged at York Hall, London on 11 and 12 November 2011. The most hotly anticipated bout going into the second GB Championships was in the flyweight division between Welshman Andrew Selby and Khalid Yafai of England. After both boxers had got past the quarter-final stage of 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Baku one month previous, it meant they would have to box off for a place at the 2012 Summer Olympics if neither boxer took gold in Azerbaijan, and Selby missed that achievement by the narrowest of margins in the final, losing 13:12. The pair met on 11 November for the first of a scheduled three fights to decide which boxer would secure Olympic qualification, with Selby recording a convincing 26:12 victory. On 12 November it was reported that Yafai had pulled out of their next encounter because he couldn't make the weight, thus granting the Welshman Olympic qualification and denying Yafai of a second Olympic Games. In other bouts, Warren Baister claimed gold with an impressive win in the 91 kg final. Salisbury ABC's Sam Maxwell earned a hard-fought 16:14 win over Wales' Joe Cordina who had beaten tournament favorite Iain Weaver the previous day. Another Liverpool boxer, Anthony Fowler beat Kieran Smith 15:9, and his conqueror of last year's championships, Callum Smith won at the 75 kg division. In the female contest, Amanda Coulsen beat Chantelle Cameron in a competitive bout, Natasha Jonas who denied Coulson of gold last year did not enter, neither did Olympians Tom Stalker, Anthony Joshua and Luke Campbell. BBC once again broadcast the event on BBC One and betting operator Betfair sponsored Team GB.
2012 GB Amateur Boxing Championships
The third GB Amateur Boxing Championships took place at the Troxy in London over Saturday 19 May/ Sunday 20 May 2012. The entries for the competition were somewhat more limited than those of recent years due to the final men's Olympic qualifier which took place in Trabzon, Turkey the month previous, therefore no Olympians entered. Great Britain Performance Director, Robert McCracken said, "It will be a fantastic opportunity to assess the next generation and identify some of the talents that will be challenging to be part of the GB squad for the next cycle." A selection of the event's final bouts were broadcast live on BBC channel, BBC Two and the tournament was sponsored by Betfair for a second successive year. The most notable bouts of the finals took place in the 56 kg and 91+kg categories as Leeds boxer Qais Ashfaq boxed cleverly to overcome Wales' Sean McGoldrick who had already beat him in a previous bout. The super-heavyweight final involved Joe Joyce and Frazer Clark who landed punishing blows on each other for 4 thrilling rounds, which Joyce shaded by a single point by a score of 37:36. Also, Liverpool puncher Anthony Fowler, who boxes out of Golden Gloves ABC, claimed his second Great British title in as many years with a victory over Tamuka Muchapondwa by a convincing score of 28:14, while 49 kg Jack Bateson beat Ashley Williams 21:17 to claim gold.

Mohamed El-Monir Abdessalam (; born 8 April 1992), also known as Mohamed El Monir, is a Libyan professional footballer who plays for Libyan Premier League club Al-Ahli Tripoli and the Libya national team.
Club career
Al-Ittihad Tripoli
El Monir came through the youth ranks of Al-Ittihad Tripoli and was promoted to the first team in the 2010–11 Libyan Premier League season. Al-Ittihad with El Monir were top of the league, undefeated after 15 rounds, with 13 victories and just two draws, when the league was abandoned half-way due to the Libyan Civil War.
Jagodina
2011–12 season
El Monir signed with Serbian side Jagodina in summer 2011 coming from Al-Ittihad Tripoli. He made his debut for FK Jagodina on 26 October 2011 as a starter in a last 16-round match of Serbian Cup against FK Javor Ivanjica, a 3–5 penalty loss after a 1–1 draw after extra-time. His league debut happened on 17 March 2012, in a round 19 match against current league leaders and previous season champions, Partizan.

On 21 April 2012, he impressed the local media and specially the club supporters when he showed extreme will of playing and a die-hard attitude when he played 35 minutes of the 23rd round of the SuperLiga match against FK BSK Borča with a fractured foot. It all happened in the 10th minute, however El Monir willing to keep on playing only reported the injury at the half-time and got substituted. As this was only the second time that he got a chance to be a starter in the team he did not wanted to miss the chance to show his skills, and despite the pain, he did his best to contribute to keep on playing. Despite the questionable attitude from the point of view of his health, the national press and Jagodina officials and supporters couldn't resist not to praise this display of enormous dedication.
In early October 2012, prior to his departure to join the national team, El Monir renewed his contract with Jagodina until 2015. On 8 May 2013, he played a key role in Jagodina's 1–0 victory against FK Vojvodina in the 2013 Serbian Cup Final.

Solid Pop is the debut album by the American synth-pop/electropop band Hyperbubble. It is titled on the cover as Sol!d Pop. The replacement of "i" with an exclamation mark is carried through the song titles.
Later in 2005, Hyperbubble performed the first track "Mom Dad Unit" in their television debut on Great Day San Antonio on CBS affiliate KENS.
Release history
The album was released on September 4, 2004 on CD and as a digital download under the Socket Sounds label in the U.S. Two "bonus" tracks are included in the album that are not listed on the cover, but are listed for the digital download: a remix entitled "Psychic Connection Mystery Mix" and an untitled reprise of "Leon".
The track "Another Ride" later appeared on the 2008 compilation Masters of the Universe Vol. 3. A remastered mix version was included on the compilation album Elektrowelt in 2007 from The Family Records (Italy) and Hyperbubble's 2017 Pretty Plastic.
Electronic Sound Magazine included the CD's final track, "Bionic Girl", in a 2018 Kraftwerk commemorative CD, Man & Machine, alongside songs by Devo, John Foxx, Chris Carter and Meat Beat Manifesto.
Live versions of "Vending Machine", "Solid Pop" and "Bionic Girl" were later published on their 2015 Live in London album.
Fellowshipwreck Music issued a remix of the album by the band entitled, Solid Pop: The Remix Edition (presented on the cover as Sol!d Pop: The Rem!x Ed!t!on). It was released in 2005 as a digital download and saw limited release on CD at concerts the same year. As with the original, the remix album adds two extra tracks listed only on the digital version of the album. These songs include a second mix of "Psychic Connection" and the final track from the original album played backwards. One track, "Leon (Superchill Catnip Mix)", was re-released in 2006 under a new title, "Leon (Catnip Remix)".
The release generated two music videos. Hondo Aguilar directed the 2006 video for "Mom Dad Unit" and Hyperbubble member Jeff DeCuir directed one for "Bionic Girl" in 2007.
Remixes by other bands
Several bands remixed tracks from Solid Pop. Versions of "Psychic Connection" and "Passing Phase" produced by Binaerpilot, Skyliber and Love in the Space Age appeared on the 2007 compilation Textronix Mix Tape from UK label Filthy Little Angels.
Critical reception
The album established Hyperbubble's feel of music: "very solid pop, derived from a merry never-neverland set somewhere on the cusp of the 1980s," with their music drawing comparisons to period groups like Devo, Blondie and Depeche Mode. The music showed that the band members' "pop-friendly impulses" from their work in a prior band, Pink Filth, translated excellently into Hyperbubble.
Described as "peppy synth pop par excellence", the album showcased their ability to apply "the breakneck pace of punk… to straight-up synthpop."
While the music was less of an "immediate 'take it to the dancefloor' impulse" as on later albums, it was overall a "cleaner sounding contrast to Ladytron's revivalism -- less grimy and cold, more perky and upbeat."
Solid Pop also showcased their use of sampling. The band's most popular downloaded song, "Leon", featured sounds from their cat.

Pandit Biswajit Roy Chowdhury is a Hindustani classical musician and a renowned sarod player from India.
Career
Roy Chowdhury belongs to the Senia Bangash gharana of sarod playing, and who has also been specially trained in the musical tradition of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana.
Roy Chowdhury was born on 12 January 1956, in Deoghar in Jharkhand state. He was initiated into music by his father Shri Ranjit Roy Chowdhury, a teacher of chemistry by profession, but more importantly, a serious Sarod player who had trained under the late Ustad Hafiz Ali Khan and others. In 1978, Roy Chowdhury's talents were spotted by the Maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan accepting him as a disciple. A turning point came when Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur took an interest in young Roy Chowdhury's quest in 1982. Roy Chowdhury’s tutelage with Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur was formalized in a gandha bandhan ceremony in 1985. The intensive guidance and training lasted till the demise of the guru in 1992. He is perhaps the only sarod player who plays the compositions from the Jaipur-Atrauli tradition.
Over the years Roy Chowdhury has performed in various locations all over India and has participated regularly in prestigious concerts. These include the Tansen Festival in Gwalior, the Shankar Lal Music Festival, New Delhi, the Harvallabh Sangeet Samaroha in Jalandhar, the Vishnu Digambar Jayanti in Delhi, the Sankat Mochan Music Festival in Varanasi, the Dhwani-BKF Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur Music Festival in Bangalore, among others. He recorded the album "The Sarod Master" (1991) for Hot Club Records, produced by guitar player Jon Larsen. Biswajit Roy Chowdhury is an acclaimed artist of the All India Radio and Doordarshan and has featured in the national music concert and the annual Radio Sangeet Sammelan of these organisations.
Roy Chowdhury teaches Sarod at Shriram Bhartiya Kala Kendra, New Delhi.

Sir Geoffrey de Luterel I (c. 1158–1218), was a courtier and confidant of King John, whom he served as a minister.
Origins
He was born around 1158 in Gamston, Nottinghamshire, England, the son of Alfred de Luterel (1105-1170).
Relations with King John
In the time of Richard I, the lands of Sir Geoffrey De Luterel, in the counties Nottingham and Derby, were seized by the crown, for his adherence to the Earl of Moreton, but he was compensated, upon the accession of the earl to the throne, as King John, by extensive territorial and other grants.
He travelled with King John on missions to Ireland and Italy and in about 1210 was granted lands near Dublin, Ireland where he established the township of Luttrellstown, near Clonsilla. In 1215 he was also granted the townland of Cratloe in County Clare, including the Cratloe Oak Woods.
In 1215, John appointed Sir Geoffrey Luttrell to be his sole agent in negotiations with regard to the dower of Queen Berengaria, commissioning him at the same time to join with the Archbishops of Bordeaux and Dublin in denouncing to the Pope the rebellious barons who had recently extorted the Great Charter of English Liberties. In one of the documents connected with this business, he is styled 'nobilis vir' . His mission was so far successful that Innocent the Third annulled the Charter, suspended the Archbishop of Canterbury, and excommunicated the barons, but it is uncertain whether Sir Geoffrey Luttrell was the one of those who conveyed the papal bull from Rome to England.

On 26 February 1190 he married Frethesant Paynel (alias Paganel, etc.), heiress of several estates including Irnham, Lincolnshire and East Quantoxhead, Somerset and others in Yorkshire, which thus passed to the Luttrell family. By his wife he had 3 children:
Andrew de Lutrel (1st Baron Irnham) (1205-1264) married abt 1225 Petronella daughter of Philip de la Mare. Their son is Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, Lord Luttrell (b bef 1235 d abt 1269).
Robert de Lutrel.
Margeret de Luterel
Frethyesant Paynel married second, Henry de Newmarch in 1219.
Henry de Newmarch was dead in 1239; and Frethesant appears to have married Roger de Thrybergh as her third husband. In 1240 Roger de Triberge and Frethesant his wife quitclaimed for themselves and her heirs to Andrew Luterel and his heirs a moiety of the manor of Hooton Pagnell and all the lands and tenements which were of the heritage of William Paynel; and Andrew granted them land in Hooton, to hold to them and the heirs of Frethesant of him and his heirs.
Later life and death
In 1216 he was declared non compos mentis and was placed in the custody of his brother, John Luttrell. Sir Geoffrey d. in the 2nd year of Henry III., 1218, and was s. by his son, Sir Andrew De Luteral, of Irnham, county Lincoln.
On 15 May 1218 the sheriff of Yorkshire was ordered to take security from Henry de Newmarch for 40 marks which he had undertaken to pay for having as his wife Frethesant widow of Geoffrey Luterel, should she be willing, and to give him seisin of her lands. Frethesant Paynel occurs as the wife of Henry de Newmarch in 1219, when her lands included a moiety of Barton[-le-Street] in Ryedale wapentake, a moiety of [Nether] Silton i Birdforth wapentake, and 10li worth of land in Strafforth wapentake.
Legacy
He was the head of the three main branches of the Luttrell family, namely:
Luttrell of Luttrellstown and Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland, held for almost 600 years by his descendants, created in 1768 Barons Irnham, in 1781 Viscounts Carhampton and in 1785 Earls of Carhampton.
Luttrell of East Quantoxhead, Somerset, which family went on to acquire nearby Dunster Castle in 1376, which it held until the extinction of the male line in 1737, but which continued to be held via a female line (which adopted the surname and arms of Luttrell) until 1976 when donated to the National Trust.
Luttrell of Irnham, Lincolnshire, a member of which branch, Sir Geoffrey Luttrell III (1276-1345), commissioned the Luttrell Psalter (c.1340-1345), and which branch became extinct in about 1418.

One Night Stand is a 2016 Indian Hindi erotic romantic drama film written by Bhavani Iyer and directed by Jasmine D'Souza. It features Tanuj Virwani and Sunny Leone in the lead roles. The film centers on a man who ends up becoming obsessed with a woman he has a one night stand with. Principal photography was wrapped up in 55 days and filming locations included Mumbai, Bangkok and Pune. The film was released on 6 May 2016. The film was also dubbed in Telugu and Tamil .
Plot
The movie starts off with a flashback that's being narrated by Urvil (Tanuj Virwani). It is the flashback and a series of events from his past that has defined his present. The flashback starts off with a fashion show organised by his event management agency in Phuket, Thailand. And after completing the event successfully, Urvil and his colleagues go drinking to celebrate. It is here that his friends challenge him to speak to a rank stranger (Sunny Leone) for a few thousand rupees. An attempt to win the bet gets him introduced to the stranger who, in turn, introduces herself as Celina. What follows after that, is unlimited liquor drinking by the two of them, which ultimately lands them up in bed together. But, the very next day, when Urvil gets up, he finds out that Celina has already left the room, without leaving any details of her whereabouts. And when Urvil comes back to his home in Pune, he is welcomed by his beautiful and dutiful wife Simran (Nyra Banerjee). Things are absolutely smooth between the couple, until one day Urvil accidentally spots Celina in the same mall wherein he has gone for shopping with his wife Simran. That very sight of Celina freshens up his 'one night stand' with her, which, in turn, gets translated into his desperation to meet her again. Thereafter begins his unending quest to hunt down Celina from the length and the breadth of the world. Amidst all this, Urvil gets extremely busy with his company's big-budget event of a product launch.
It is here where he gets introduced to his rich client Adhiraj Kapoor (Khalid Siddiqui) and his family, which takes the daylights out of Urvil. The mysterious lady Celina is none other than Ambar, wife of Adhiraj, who, along with their young son Jahaan (Rehan Pathan) and Adhiraj's father Raghav (Kanwaljeet Singh), stay in their posh villa in Koregaon Park, Pune. Urvil loses interest in his job and wife and stalks Celina/ Ambar. His colleague David (Ninad Kamat) advises him to forget Ambar in order to save his marriage but he ignores his advice. Urvil tails Ambar continuously. Being fed up, she asks him to leave her alone and forget whatever happened between them as 'one night stand' but he refuses to do so and Urvil haunts her so much that he reaches their home and embarrasses Ambar. He rapes Simran, uttering Celina(Ambar)'s name. She picks up a fight with him and on the pretext of dropping him to his office, she races their car in the busy street asking Urvil to confess as to who is Celina and about their affair. He is terrified due to the rashly driven speeding car and admits to Simran about the illegitimate affair with Celina. She drops him on the road-side and tells him that it's all over between them. He returns home and begs her to pardon him for his folly but Simran is firm in refusing. Ultimately, Ambar calls Urvil to a spot on the highway to inform him that he should forget whatever happened between them and leave her alone. Urvil blames her for his marriage turmoil but she retorts that he was himself responsible. When Urvil threatens her that he would reveal the secret to Adhiraj, she informs him that she would do so herself irrespective of the consequence. She leaves him alone brooding about his future. The film ends with Urvil quitting his job and moving ahead in life in search of a new beginning.

Trolley station is a light rail station in the Central City neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States serviced by the Red Line of the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX light rail system. The Red Line provides service from the University of Utah to the Daybreak community of South Jordan.
Description
The station is located at 625 East 400 South (East University Boulevard/SR-186), with the island platform being in the median of 400 South. The vicinity of the station is characterized by intensive and diverse retail development, including supermarkets and the mall in historic Trolley Square (which is one block south), though substantial office buildings and residential areas are also nearby. As part of the UTA's Art in Transit program, the station features tile mosaics, granite pavers, color laminated glass windscreens and steel created by Paul Heath, Victoria Lyons, Michael Moonbird, and Valerie Parker Price collectively entitled Bad Dog Community Art Station. Unlike most TRAX stations, Trolley does not have a Park and Ride lot. The station is part of a railway right of way that was created specifically for the former University Line. The station was opened on 15 December 2001 as part of the University Line and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.

Lyonbrotherz is a German DJ and producer duo formed of cousins Daniel Lyon (born Daniel Rolletschek) and Keven Lyon (born Keven Brüffer). Daniel was born in Ahaus, Germany, on 15 July 1990 and Keven was born in Gronau, Germany, on 19 December 1990. Best known for producing EDM and Hip-hop as well as DJing, the cousins are part of the music production team of I-35 Music and founded the two record labels I-35 Music and League of Lyons.
Career
Starting out at the age of 16, Daniel and Keven began as the duo wanted to stay out of trouble and work towards solving their problems. They first wrote rap and Hip-hop lyrics, learning about beats and going on to produce their own as well as national and international artists.
Developing their own music skills, Daniel visited one of the biggest electronic music festivals in Germany and encouraged Keven to begin a new chapter in their careers focussed on Electronic dance music (EDM). This was the beginning of Lyonbrotherz.
In early 2016 they founded their own record label named League of Lyons for EDM releases and the sub label I-35 Music for hip hop productions. In May they DJ-ed on the main stage of Springbreak Europe and in July they produced the soundtrack for an advertising campaign of an international fashion Brand.
In 2017 the newcomer DJ and producer Greenskiez signed a contract with their record label League of Lyons.

The Battle of Tiro was a battle that took place in August 1974 that was fought between the Oromo Liberation Army, then led by Elemo Qiltu, and Ethiopian government forces.
Background
The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) was then a small and nascent guerilla force that started out with twenty men (later grew exponentially) and operated in the mountains around the city of Gelemso. After the OLA killed Mulatu Tegegn, a notorious local landowner, the government sent General Getachew Shibeshi and a large force to deal with the guerilla army. The General was unable to deal any decisive blows against Elemo's troops but was able to keep them pinned in the Chercher Mountains. The OLA unit eventually snuck away from the Chercher Mountains and made their way to Tiro, a mountainous region between the towns of Gelemso, Bokhe Tiko and Badhesa.
Battle
In late August 1974, a unit of the Oromo Liberation Army came down from the Chercher Mountains and made their way closer to Gelemso hoping that the fully grown crops would be able to hide them from General Getachew's troops as they made their way closer to the surrounding towns of Bokhe Tiko, Gelemso and Badhesa. They had chosen a mountain in the area of Tiro as a new base of operations and proceeded to climb it. Three of their new recruits; Hundee Taqi, Sheikh Jamal and Colonel Mahdi were unaccustomed to climbing long distances so they spent the night around the bottom of the mountains while the rest of the soldiers camped at the top.
When a soldier was sent to retrieve the recruits, it was discovered that the three had been killed by a government militia that had followed the unit to Tiro. Before long, police and more militiamen from the three nearby towns started arriving at the base of the mountain surrounding it. The Oromo Liberation Army soldiers took high positions and began to engage these troops managing to kill most of the poorly trained militia. Elemo Qiltu, the OLA commander, was injured and so he descended down from the mountain and began to engage troops from the surrounding crop fields.
The fighting continued from dawn until noon, when General Getachew's troops finally arrived from the Chercher Mountains and began to shell the mountain. The government troops also surrounded Elemo Qiltu, leading to his surrender. He called for the soldiers to come and pick him up since he was injured, but blew himself up with a grenade as the Ethiopian soldiers approached him. The government troops managed to get midway up the mountain, capturing a few rebels, but were unable to capture the rest who broke their lines and escaped.
Aftermath
The Ethiopian government punished the population in the area by instigating a wave of mass arrests and killings in the surrounding towns of Gelemso, Boke, Badhesa, Mechere and Balbaleti. The armed wing of the Oromo Liberation Front did not resume operations until 1976, when the group reorganized.

Isaac Jacquelot (December 1647 in Vassy, France - 15 October 1708, in Berlin, Germany) was a French Huguenot minister.
Life
Isaac Jacquelot was born in Vassy in Champagne, where his father was a Calvinist minister. He took over his father's position but left France in 1685 on the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He went to Heidelberg for a year and then took a position with a Walloon congregation at The Hague. He then left for Basel after finding himself in conflict with Pierre Jurieu.
He ended his life as a court preacher in Berlin.
Views
Jacquelot was a leading figure in the rationaux, the Huguenot proponents of rational theology. Along with Jean Le Clerc and Jacques Bernard, they looked for reason and faith to come into balance and supported religious tolerance. They found themselves opposing Pierre Bayle after 1700.
Jacquelot supported Anthonie van Dale's rejection of the supernatural, as did Le Clerc, with some qualification. Their positions, with that of Benjamin Binet, marked out the moderate rationalism of the first half of the 18th century.
On theodicy, Isaac Jacquelot agreed with Gottfried Leibniz in Jacquelot's Conformité. On the other hand, he considered Leibniz's solution to the mind-body problem to be a less powerful variation on occasionalism.<ref>R. S. Woolhouse (ed.), Metaphysics and Philosophy of Science in the Seventeenth and eighteenth Centuries: essays in honour of Gerd Buchdahl (1988), p. 165; Google Books.</ref> The two met in Berlin in 1702. Leibniz replied with his doctrine of pre-established harmony, which Jacquelot criticised on grounds of free will in a projected appendix to the Conformité, the Système abrégé de l'âme et de la liberté. After negotiation, the Système abrégé appeared in a modified form.
Jacquelot used an argument from design in his Dissertations sur l'existence de Dieu, defending divine providence and revealed religion: observation can and will support the purposive nature of the creation of animals and man. His exposition was much read subsequently.
Controversies
Jacquelot attacked the system of Benedict Spinoza, as did Samuel Clarke, by taking aim at what were perceived as key propositions in it.
During his time in Berlin, Jacquelot engaged in a final controversy with Pierre Bayle, who died in 1706 while the debate proceeded; he had frequently accused Bayle of declaring reason and faith incompatible by fiat. One contentious topic was the article on Manichaeism in Bayle's Dictionary. As part of the exchanges, Jacquelot declared in favour of Remonstrant (Arminian) views.A New and General Biographical Dictionary vol. 7 (1762), p. 20; Google Books. Philippe Naudé attacked Jacquelot and Jean Le Clerc and defended absolute predestination in his La souveraine perfection de Dieu (Sovereign Perfections of God) (1708).
Jonathan I. Israel has characterised the outcome of the debate between Bayle and the rationaux as a serious setback for the latter. Jacquelot and Le Clerc were criticised by Jean-Nicolas-Hubert Hayer. The weakness in their approach, from a Christian perspective, was to claim too much for reason.

David Cooke Gibson (4 March 1827 – 5 October 1856) was a Scottish painter and poet.
Early life
Gibson was born in Edinburgh in 1827, the son of a portrait-painter who died early of tuberculosis, leaving a widow, David, and a daughter. After four years at Edinburgh High School, he was admitted to the Trustees' Academy. Here he passed through the ornamental class under Charles Heath Wilson, studied the collection of plaster casts of antique sculptures under Sir William Allan, and attended the colour class and life class under Thomas Duncan.
Before he was seventeen years of age he was the chief support of his mother and sister, resigning all chance of a college career to devote himself to portrait-painting. His mother, Ann Gibson, died soon after September 1844, and his sister in December 1845 of tuberculosis. Gibson had acquired the same disease.
He was a social favourite, fond of dancing, an excellent mimic, eminently handsome and graceful, though diminutive in figure.
Career development
In January 1846 Gibson obtained three prizes at the Trustees' Academy. A month later two of his small pictures were badly hung at the Royal Scottish Academy, and he asked to withdraw one of these. He made a tour of London, Belgium, and Paris, studying in the great galleries. His copy of Van Dyck's Charles I was bought by Sir Edwin Landseer after Gibson's death. Returning to Edinburgh he worked hard at portraits.
He moved to London in April 1852. At this time he wrote an immense quantity of easy and sometimes humorous verse. He had disappointments, was discontented, and listened to socialists and sceptics. He was attracted by the Pre-Raphaelites, and his picture The Little Stranger, exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1855, was sold for £100. After revisiting Scotland he was advised to go abroad for his health, and passed the winter of 1855–6 at Málaga.
Final year
Some of his Spanish pictures were exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1856, and some of them were bought by John Phillip. Gibson visited the Alhambra in March 1856, and made many sketches. Thomas Creswick had bought one of Gibson's pictures before the opening of the Academy's exhibition for £150. Gibson returned to England in June, but unfortunately lingered there too long. He broke a blood-vessel in September, and died on 5 October 1856. In the following May his Gipsies of Seville was exhibited in the Academy. He had bequeathed to William Menzies Tweedie his picture of the Alhambra Towers with the Sierra Nevada in the distance, A Pleasing Prospect, and it was chromolithographed and published.

The Santa Maria Sun is an American free weekly newspaper that serves Santa Maria, California and Santa Barbara County. Edited by Camillia Lanham, it is published on Thursdays.
History
The Sun was founded in 2000 by Steve Moss, who saw a need for a weekly community newspaper that could act as a “town square where everybody could participate.”
Shortly after its founding, Lompoc, California Economic Development Committee member Justin Ruhge contributed an controversial editorial to the Nov. 16 issue. It stated that "Muslims are out to destroy our world."
Steve Moss died in 2005. For fifteen years, Ryan Miller edited the Sun. During the 2005 Michael Jackson trial in Santa Maria, Miller provided local commentary for national and international news outlets. Miller left the Sun in 2015.
Awards
In 2013, the Sun won an award for its investigation of a corrections officer's death at the Federal Correctional Institution, Lompoc . The sun uncovered a pattern of administrative malfeasance and abuse that may have contributed to the death of two corrections officers.
In 2017, the Sun won second place in the General Excellence category in its division of California's Better Newspapers Contest, with judges citing its "mix of coverage of local issues, arts and culture". In 2017, the Sun took home awards including first place for agricultural reporting, enterprise news reporting, feature stories, and news photography.

Below is a list of (known) governors of Menorca from the time of the British occupation in 1708 until the British relinquished control of the island for the last time in 1802.
Background
It was commonplace for governors to be absent from the island, and several never set foot there. Menorca changed hands several times in the 18th century. It was ruled by Britain from its initial capture in 1708 until 1756, then occupied by France for seven years until the Peace of Paris (1763) when it was returned to Britain. In 1781, the island fell to a Spanish invasion, and in 1783, Britain ceded the island to Spain. It was captured by the British for a final time in 1798 and occupied until it was returned in 1802 to Spain.

The Minstrel Boy (also published under the title Desmonde) is a 1975 novel by A. J. Cronin.
Plot
The story concerns the life of a young priest called Desmonde Fitzgerald. In his seminary he is noted for his magnificent singing voice, his practical jokes and his good looks which make him inordinately attractive to women. In his first clerical posting in Ireland, the lady of the manor falls in love with him, but he is seduced by her niece, whom he later marries. He becomes a musician and lives in poverty in Dublin, where his wife deserts him and later dies in Switzerland. After a period in Spain he is given a second chance and becomes a missionary to India, where he again risks becoming involved with a rich local woman but this time escapes. The book contains the classic Cronin features of human weakness and failure with ultimate redemption.
Autobiographical references
The story's narration is by a character "Alec Shannon" who bears a close resemblance to Cronin himself. In the novel, reference is clearly made to his own alma mater, St Aloysius' College, as the description of the fictional school, St Ignatius', is clearly a description of the buildings and environs of the school Cronin attended. Reference is also made to his footballing exploits as Cronin was reputedly an excellent footballer and played in the College First XI . Cronin never specifically mentioned his own school in his books but does refer to another Jesuit school, Stonyhurst and a combination of Stonyhurst and Ampleforth called "Amplehurst". He also never refers directly to Glasgow, but to the fictional locale of "Winton", which often stands in for Glasgow in Cronin's novels.

Akershus County Municipality () was the regional governing administration of the old Akershus county in Norway. The county municipality was established in its most recent form on 1 January 1976 when the law was changed to allow elected county councils in Norway. The county municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020, when Akershus was merged with the neighboring counties of Buskerud and Østfold, creating the new Viken county which is led by the Viken County Municipality. The administrative seat is located in Oslo (which was not part of Akershus) and the county mayor was Anette Solli. On 1 January 2024, Akershus will be re-established as an independent county with expanded borders due to municipal amalgamations in 2020, which will not be reversed.
The main responsibilities of the county municipality included the running of the 35 upper secondary schools. It managed all the county roadways, public transport, dental care, culture, and cultural heritage sites in the county.
Transport
Public transport in Akershus is managed by Ruter, a transit authority owned along with the City of Oslo. It markets all public transport except the Oslo Commuter Rail in Akershus, though operations are provided by private companies based on public service obligation.
County government
The Oppland county council () was made up of 43 representatives that were elected every four years. The council essentially acted as a Parliament or legislative body for the county and it met several times each year. The council was divided into standing committees and an executive board () which met considerably more often. Both the council and executive board were led by the county mayor () who held the executive powers of the county.

Leila Mills (born 1959) was a Superior Court Judge in Kitsap County, Washington. She is best known as the jurist who presided in a nationally-publicized prosecution of a marijuana grower, which led to an acquittal under Washington's medical cannabis law.
First elected in 2000, Judge Mills was reelected three times. In 2001, she was instrumental in creating the Kitsap County Youth Court. Since that time, Judge Mills has coached students for the annual YMCA Mock Trial Competition and team-taught the Street Law Program at Central Kitsap High School.
In 2007, Washington State Supreme Court Chief Justice Gerry Alexander presented the Judge William Nevins Award to Judge Mills at the Fall Judicial Conference held in Vancouver, Washington. The Nevins Award was created by the Washington Judges Foundation to honor those members of the judiciary who display extraordinary dedication to the judicial branch of government. The Washington Judges Foundation gave the award to Judge Mills because of her consistent, long-term commitment to youth education and public understanding of the law and the role of the judiciary in American society.
Judge Mills retired from the bench in May, 2018.

Woodgate Valley Country Park is a country park within the Bartley Green and Quinton districts of Birmingham. It is the third largest Birmingham Country Park after Sutton Park and Lickey Hills Country Park. The park is maintained as a wildlife habitat but also has farm animals.
History
The Country Park was set up in 1984, having previously been rural land with smallholdings and larger farms. It comprises some and is on land previously threatened by urban development. The disused Lapal Tunnel of the Dudley No 2 canal passes just south of Hole Farm, north of the visitor centre and on through the South Woodgate housing estate. The tunnel opened in 1798 and was closed to traffic in 1926. Spoil heaps provide visible reminders of the tunnel's construction.
Wild life
The park is maintained with varied wild life habitats. There are hedgerows, meadows and woodland, plus Bourn Brook. More than 80 species of bird, including marsh harrier, long-eared owl and kingfisher; and 250 species of plants including common bluebells, foxgloves and honeysuckle, have been recorded, as have butterflies and various species of dragonflies including red admiral and small tortoiseshell. Many plants grow in the damp meadows. In 2008 muntjac deer were sighted by local residents.
Facilities
Visitors go for a leisurely walk, observe wildlife, walk the dog or ride horses and get away from the noise, traffic and buildings of the city.
A parkrun has been held in the Country Park since August 2021, with 100-200 runners typically participating every Saturday morning.
Woodgate Valley Urban Farm exists as a self-supporting private charitable company. The adjacent Hole Farm Trekking Centre is run by the City Council and caters for horse riding across a range of ages and abilities.
Rangers based in the Visitor Centre provide recreational and educational activities such as a wild food walk. The Visitor Centre has a café and information displays, and a play area for children and picnic area are just outside.
National Express West Midlands bus route no. 23 stops near the main entrance on Clapgate Lane.

The Chamber of Representatives of Misiones Province () is the unicameral legislative body of Misiones Province, in Argentina. It convenes in the provincial capital, Posadas.
It comprises 40 deputies, elected in a single multi-member district through proportional representation every four years. Elections employ the D'Hondt system. Deputies are elected for four-year terms every two years through staggered elections, and may run for re-election. There is, in addition, a 50% gender quota for party lists in elections.
Its powers and responsibilities are established in the provincial constitution. Unlike most other provincial legislatures in Argentina, the Misiones Chamber of Representatives is not presided by the province's vice governor, but rather counts with its own presiding officer elected from among its members (presently Carlos Rovira, of the FRC).
The Chamber of Representatives was established in 1953, when the National Territory of Misiones became a province of Argentina.

Tomás Barros Pardo (Toledo, 1922 - La Coruña, 1986) was a Spanish painter and author.
Painter, poet, composer, author of plays, essays and one novel, occasional reporter, PhD in Fine Arts, and member of the Royal Galician Academy, Tomás Barros was one of the most prolific intellectuals among the Galician writers that stayed in Francoist Spain. As with many of this group of non-exiled artists and intellectuals, he shared concerns and collaborations with the exiled ones, as would be the case with Luis Seoane, Rafael Dieste, Vicente Aleixandre, Celso Emilio Ferreiro and his cousin Isaac Díaz Pardo
Biography
Accidentally born in Toledo in 1922, his family returned in 1929 to their city of origin, Ferrol, where he would spend his childhood and early youth. After graduating in Education in Santiago de Compostela, he moved to Madrid to graduate in fine arts at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. For over 30 years he worked as a professor in technical drawing and plastic expression in A Coruña, where he combined it with artistic creation until his death.
His literary activity developed from the early 1950s, with his first published work, "Gárgolas", in 1950, and the foundation in 1952 of the poetry and literary magazine Aturuxo, along with Mario Couceiro and Miguel C. Vidal. In the 1950s, Barros published several poetic works and drama plays, as well as shorter essays and articles in newspapers and magazines. In 1975 he founded with Luz Pozo Garza the poetry magazine Nordés, and in 1973 was awarded with the International Poetry Award of the Circle Latin American Writers and Poets (CEPI) of New York. Until his death in 1986, his literary production included several theater plays and many newspaper and magazine collaborations.
His plastic production, increasingly abstract from the 1960s, is characterized by a concern with "rhythm, color and shape", as Barros himself developed in many of his artistic essays.

Jo Roman (born Mary Clodfelter in 1917, died June 10, 1979) was an American social worker, therapist, artist, author and advocate of "rational suicide".
Early life and career
She was born in Massachusetts and raised in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area.
After the death of her first husband, she moved with her two children to Juneau, Alaska, to start an interior design business. A year or so later she began studying psychology at the University of North Carolina.
After achieving a master's degree in social work at Adelphi University circa 1952, she began working with the Manhattan Family Court and then became the director of the mental health clinic at the University Settlement House on the Lower East Side. In 1959 she married Dr. Mel Roman, an author, psychotherapist and artist.
Jo Roman's art, including paintings and “tactile boxes”, were displayed in group and individual exhibitions and reviewed in art publications throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Advocacy and death
In 1965, Roman developed an intense interest in the philosophy, ethics and practice of "rational suicide" and concluded that the act was a "natural human right", morally comparable to having a baby or getting married. She began planning her own suicide, which she initially calculated to take place around the year 1992, when she would have been 75 years old.
In April 1978, however, she received a diagnosis of terminal breast cancer, with the most optimistic prognosis being that she had three to five years of life remaining. She began to undergo chemotherapy but, experiencing adverse reactions, decided instead to bring her plans for "self-termination" forward rather than suffer the pain and indignity of a prolonged terminal illness for the next several years.
Her preparations included completing a 250-page manuscript for a book titled Exit House: Choosing Suicide as an Alternative, which proposed state-sponsored institutions where people could end their own lives painlessly and with dignity. She also sent her own obituary to the New York Times, forwarded 100 copies of a personal letter to her family and friends and organized a ceremonial symposium/farewell party held in her art studio on Saturday, June 9, 1979, during which guests helped her create a final artwork representing her life and death. The symposium was recorded by a video documentary crew led by documentarian Richard Ellison.
Jo Roman committed suicide via an overdose of sleeping pills during the early morning following the symposium, on Sunday, June 10, 1979. She was 62 years old.
Cultural legacy
The 20 hours of video recordings were edited into the documentary Choosing Suicide, which was broadcast nationwide by PBS on June 16, 1980, and sparked a vehement controversy among viewers and reviewers. Roman's book Exit House was published in the same year.
In subsequent decades, Jo Roman's works of art and advocacy have frequently been cited in academic journals and popular media concerning the moral right to die.

The Ohio Auction School (OAS) is an auction school located near Columbus, Ohio, United States. Many states require that individuals complete a course of study at a state approved auction school in order to be licensed to practice in that state. The Ohio Auction School provides the mandated instruction for Ohio, Indiana, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Louisiana.
History
The Ohio Auction School was founded in 1999 in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio to provide auctioneer pre-licensing education. Mike Brandly, a Columbus Ohio Auctioneer, assumed the role of Executive Director; Lisa Mantle was designated the school’s Administrator.
Curriculum
Topics included in the standard 80-hour pre-licensing curriculum include bid-calling (talking clearly, but fast), contracts, business practices, staffing, setup of auctions, sound equipment, computerization and online auctions, ethics, and specifics regarding the sale of livestock, antiques, collectibles, cars, coins, and real estate.
Terms are typically held twice per year, with one 2-week term in the spring and another in the fall. Since opening, The Ohio Auction School has gained accreditation in other states including Indiana, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Louisiana.
Classes at the school have included students from seven states and the Islands of the Bahamas. Graduates of The Ohio Auction School have gone on to win several state bid-calling championships and become practicing auctioneers. Over 200 had attended classes through 2005.
Continuing education
In 2003, The Ohio Auction School began providing continuing education classes for auctioneers and crammer sessions for those seated for auctioneer license examinations, in addition to pre-licensing auctioneer education.
Location
The school’s headquarters are located at 4949 Hendron Road, Groveport, Ohio, USA (fifteen miles south-east of downtown Columbus, Ohio).

The Foja Mountains (Foja Range, Foya Mountains) () are located just north of the Mamberamo river basin in Papua, Indonesia. The mountains rise to , and have 3,000 square kilometers of old growth tropical rainforest in the interior part of the range. The Foja forest tract covers 9,712 square kilometers and is the largest tropical forest without roads in the Asia Pacific region.
The Foja Range languages are spoken within the mountain range and nearby areas.
Geography
The Foja Mountains are cooler than the lowlands below because of their elevation, but January and July temperatures still average . The rainy season is from December to March, but the area can receive rain throughout the year. In a typical year, the range receives more than of precipitation. Relative humidity ranges from 73 to 87%. The nearest villages include Sragafareh, Jomen, Beggensabah, Aer Mati, and Dabra.
History
The mountains have no record of visitors prior to 1979 (Stattersfield et al. 1998). Much of the area around the Foja Mountains and nearby Van Rees Mountains are too steep for conventional logging, and are considered unsafe due to their inaccessibility. Some atlases show only the Gauttier Mountains in the area, but the Foja Mountains lie at the eastern edge of that range at about 139° east longitude.
Ecology
The portion of the mountains above 1000 meters elevation is in the Northern New Guinea montane rain forests ecoregion. The montane forests are dominated by Araucaria cunninghamii, Podocarpus neriifolius, Agathis labillardieri, Calophyllum, and Palaquium at the 1,200 meter level.
The mountains are within the Mamberamo-Foja Wildlife Reserve.
Ecological discovery
2005
In December 2005, scientists from the United States, Indonesia, and Australia spent a month in the Foja Range documenting flora and fauna from the lower hills to near the summit of the range. The expedition team was co-led by Bruce Beehler and Stephen Richards and included scientists from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Cenderawasih University, the Smithsonian Institution, Conservation International and other institutions. In February 2006, the expedition team released details of new species including:
One bird, a honeyeater with scarlet wattles, officially described in 2007 as the wattled smoky honeyeater (Melipotes carolae).
20 frogs
Four butterflies
Five palms
A rhododendron with a white, scented flower across the NeverPeack Mountains
The scientists documented:
The first photographs of Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise and the golden-fronted bowerbird, both of which were only known from a minute number of trade skins previously.
A golden-mantled tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus pulcherrimus), believed to be near-extinct.
Western long-beaked echidnas that allowed scientists to pick them up, evidence that the area has had no human presence
The human population of the Foja Range is 300, living in the 7,500 square kilometers of low-lying forest. The 3,000 square kilometers of mountainous jungle appear to have been untouched by humans until the 2006 scientific expedition. There are no roads in the mountains, so scientists had to travel by helicopter, landing on a boggy lakebed. Six permits were needed before the 11-member team could legally enter.
2007
In December 2007, a second scientific expedition was taken to the mountain range. The expedition led to the discovery of two new species: the first being a 1.4 kg giant rat (Mallomys sp.) approximately five times the size of a regular brown rat, the second a pygmy possum (Cercartetus sp.) described by scientists as "one of the world's smallest marsupials."
2008
An expedition late in 2008, backed by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, National Geographic Society and Smithsonian Institution, was made in order to assess the area's biodiversity. New types of animals recorded include a frog with a long erectile nose, a large woolly rat, an imperial-pigeon with rust, grey and white plumage, a 25 cm gecko with claws rather than pads on its toes, and a small, 30 cm high, black forest wallaby (a member of the genus Dorcopsis).

The Imperial Order of Saint Stanislaus (Polish: Order św. Stanisława, Russian: Орденъ Св. Станислава), also spelled Stanislas or Stanislav, is a Russian dynastic order of knighthood founded as Order of the Knights of Saint Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr in 1765 by King Stanisław II Augustus of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1831 after the downfall of the November Uprising, the order was incorporated into the Chapter of Russian Orders as part of the honours system of the Russian Empire by Emperor Nicholas I of Russia.
In 1839, the Russian Order of Saint Stanislaus received new statutes, including granting status of nobility on its recipients in all three classes.
As a result of the Russian Revolution 1917, activities were suspended by the Soviet Union, although it has since been awarded by the head of the Imperial House of Romanov as a dynastic order. When in 1918 Poland regained its independence as the Second Polish Republic, a Polish order was introduced as a successor to the Polish Order of Saint Stanislaus, the Order of Polonia Restituta.
However, the Order of Saint Stanislas continued to be awarded after the revolution by Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich, and Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna; the latter a claimant to the headship of the Imperial House.
History
Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth
Stanislaus II Augustus Poniatowski, King of Poland established the Order of the Knights of Saint Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr on May 7, 1765 to honour the service to the King. After the partition of Poland it was renewed in the Duchy of Warsaw in 1807. Since 1815 in the Polish (Congress) Kingdom, the order, originally in a single class, was retained and divided into four classes.
When in 1918 Poland regained its independence as the Second Polish Republic, a Polish order was introduced as an alleged successor to the Polish Order of Saint Stanislaus, the Order of Polonia Restituta.
Russian Empire
In 1831 after the downfall of the November Uprising, the order was added to the honours system of the Russian Empire in 1832, where it remained until 1917, included in the Chapter of Russian Orders.
In 1832 the image of Saint Stanislaus was removed, replacing it with the cypher "SS". The single-headed eagle on the Polish order's cross was replaced with the double-headed eagle of the Russian Empire. All administration and management of the imperial and royal order were transferred from Warsaw to St. Petersburg.
In 1839 Nicholas I issued a new statute for the order, according to which it was divided into three degrees, and was awarded to "any subject of the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Poland" for military and civilian distinction, or for private services such as charity and philanthropy. The Second Class insignia of the Order was divided into two types: a cross decorated with the imperial crown, and the cross without the crown (this distinction was abolished in 1874).
In 1844, it was decreed that when the order was granted to non-Christians, the cypher of St. Stanislaus was replaced by a black double-headed Imperial Russian eagle.
The Order of Saint Stanislaus 3rd degree became the junior most award in the order of precedence of Russian orders and was the most common reward. It was awarded to almost all military and government employees as well as civilians who served the empire with a blameless record, and who has status in the Russian table of ranks. At the time of the establishment of the Order, the award of every class provided the right of hereditary noble status, but there was discontent among the nobility that too many new nobles were being created from the ranks of merchants and civil employees, and so in 1845 the highest command suspended the awarding of the 2nd and 3rd class. Awarding resumed on 28 June 1855, but from this date the right of hereditary nobility was awarded only with the 1st class of the Order of Saint Stanislaus, the other two being awarded with personal nobility only.
In 1855 the symbol of crossed swords was added to Military awards of the order.
In 1874 the Chapter of Orders canceled the awarding of the symbol of the imperial crown, but any such orders previously awarded retained the right to wear them with the crown.
Provisional Government
After the February Revolution, the order was not canceled. The Provisional Government of Russia arguably usurped the Order of Saint Stanislaus, changing its appearance: the imperial eagles were changed to crown-less eagles. However, after 1917, the order was not awarded in Soviet Russia in any form.
Legitimist conferral in exile
Both Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, Grand Duke of Russia and his successor Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia awarded the Order of Saint Andrew, which automatically awards the recipient membership First class in all the lower Orders, including the Order of Saint Stanislaus. Furthermore, Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia awarded the order independently at least once, in 1973. As a result, the Order of Saint Stanislaus is considered to have been awarded continually by the legitimist pretender to the Russian throne since 1917.
Present fount of honour is Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia, preeminent pretender to the Russian throne. Initially active in exile after the revolution, in recent years it has enjoyed degrees of recognition by some prominent Russian institutions, as well as full recognition by the International Commission on Orders of Chivalry and others.
Organisation
The heads of the Russian Imperial House in exile have continued to award Imperial and Royal Order of Saint Stanislaus. H.I.H. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, pretender to the Russian throne, and head of the Russian Imperial House, continues to award the Russian Imperial Order of Saint Stanislaus as a dynastic order of knighthood. These actions were disputed by her relative Dmitry Romanov.
Knights of the Order of Saint Stanislaus are granted nobility in every class if they do not already possess this status: hereditary nobility in the First class, personal nobility in the Second and Third classes.
Knights of the Order of Saint Stanislaus were once also awarded a pension: the 30 senior knights of the First class received 143 rubles, the 60 senior gentlemen of the Second class received 115 rubles, and the 90 senior gentlemen of the Third class received 86 rubles.
Insignia
On the star and crosses of all classes, non-Christian recipients will have, instead of the cypher of Saint Stanislaus, a black and gold Imperial Russian double-headed Eagle.
According to the Imperial Chapter of Orders and other honors, ed. 1892 [2], the Order of Saint Stanislaus has three degrees, for which the insignia are:
1st class
Gold cross, covered with a red enamel face, the four ends of which are further divided in two sharp points; on the edges of the cross a double gold rim; at the eight sharp points golden balls; and among these terminals, bringing them together, are gold semicircles of striped shells; in the center, on a white filigree round shield encircled by a gold border with a green wreath on it, the Latin monogram of Saint Stanislaus, a red "SS"; at each of the axillae, the state symbol of the Russian double-headed eagle in gold. On the rear side of the cross, all gold, with the verso a centered white round enameled shield, which depicts the same monogram "SS".
It is worn on a moiré red ribbon, the breadth of two and a half inches, double white stripes at the borders, worn over the right shoulder with the star on the left side of the chest.
Silver star, the eight rays centering a white round shield circled with wide green stripes with two gold rims, the external rim wider; on the green enameled band between, gold laurel branches connected in the middle of each by two flowers; center roundel, in white enamel with red letters the cypher of Saint Stanislaus: "SS"; and around the hoop in a white box with gold letters, the motto of the order: Praemiando incitat ("rewarding encourages") divided at the top with a golden flower.
2nd class
Cross of the same form, as for the first class, but of lesser magnitude, worn around the neck, on a ribbon with a width of one or two inches.
3rd class
Cross of the same form as the first two classes but worn in the buttonhole on the same ribbon with a width of five-eighths inches.
Legacy
Self-styled orders
A number of self-styled orders, or pseudo-orders, exist, claiming to be continuations of the original imperial order. While several of these may be praise-worthy philanthropic organisations, one even boasting "royal patronage" by morganatic descendants of the Russian Imperial House, none of them are recognised as legitimate orders of chivalry.

Ya'arab bin Bel'arab () (died 1723) was one of the rival Imams during the civil wars in Oman in the final years of the Yaruba dynasty.
Ya'arab bin Bel'arab was the cousin of Saif bin Sultan II, the young son of Sultan bin Saif II.
Saif bin Sultan II was aged twelve when his father, the Imam Sultan bin Saif II, died in 1718.
Although he had been named as successor and was popular among the people, the ulama decided he was too young to hold office and favored his older brother Muhanna bin Sultan.
In 1719 Muhanna bin Sultan was brought into Rustaq Fort by stealth and proclaimed Imam.
Muhanna was unpopular, and in 1720 was deposed and killed by Ya'arub bin Bal'arab.
Ya'arab bin Bel'arab declared himself regent during the minority of his cousin.
In May 1722 Ya'arab took the next step and proclaimed himself Imam.
This caused an uprising led by Bel'arab bin Nasir, a relative by marriage of the deposed Imam.
After some skirmishes, Ya'arab bin Bel'arab was defeated at Nizwa and the young Saif bin Sultan II was again declared Imam, this time with Bela'rab bin Nasir as regent.
Mohammed bin Nasir was among the notables who came to Rustaq to congratulate him.
For some reason, Bel'arab bin Nasir picked a quarrel with Mohammed bin Nasir, who took steps to organize a rebellion in alliance with the former Imam Ya'arab bin Bel'arab.
After a series of defeats, Bel'arab bin Nasir was forced to accept peace terms under which he would surrender all forts in Oman.
Around this time Ya'arab bin Bel'arab died on 16 March 1723 at Nizwa.

Dennis Grainger (5 March 1920 – 6 June 1986) was an English professional footballer who played as a left winger.
Early career
Born in Royston, Grainger began his career with South Kirkby before joining Southport on trial in 1937, where his older brother Jack was an established first-team player. After being initially rejected, he re-joined the club on trial in 1938, signing for them as a professional in October 1938. In August 1939 he was given his Football League debut for Southport in a match against Darlington; ironically, his older brother Jack was one of the players who was dropped to accommodate his debut.
Wartime football
During the war he continued to play for Southport when possible, though in 1942 it was evident that his Royal Air Force duties were getting in the way and Southport were forced to look for a replacement. Where possible he combined football with his Royal Air Force commitments and made guest appearances for Millwall, where his form was rewarded with a call up to both the RAF representative football team and the FA XI.
Post-war career
Following the war he transferred to Leeds United in October 1945, for a "substantial" fee, at his own request. When signing for Leeds in October he had already played for the club for most of the season. He signed for Wrexham in November 1947, before moving to Oldham Athletic in June 1951. He finished his career at Bangor City.
Personal life
His brother Jack and cousins Jack and Colin were also professional footballers, while another cousin Edwin Holliday played for England.

Thou is an American sludge metal band formed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 2005. The current lineup of the band consists of Bryan Funck (vocals), Andy Gibbs (guitar), Matthew Thudium (guitar and vocals), Mitch Wells (bass), KC Stafford (guitar and vocals), and Tyler Coburn (drums).
History
The band was formed by guitarists Andy Gibbs and Matthew Thudium, bassist Mitch Wells, and drummer Terry Gulino. Thou released their first full-length effort, Tyrant, in 2007 after the arrival of the vocalist Bryan Funck. These were followed by their second studio album Peasant in 2008 and a string of EPs, including Malfeasance – Retribution (2008), The Retaliation of the Immutable Force of Nature (2008), Through the Empires of the Eternal Void (2009) and Baton Rouge/You Have Much to Answer For (2010). Their third full-length album, Summit was released in 2010.
The band's fourth studio album, Heathen, released in 2014, was met with critical acclaim. This album marked the first time in the band's career that the band had featured cleanly sung vocals from collaborator Emily McWilliams. The album was named the best metal album of 2014 by music website Pitchfork. Thou has toured with and collaborated frequently with fellow sludge metal band The Body, whom they most recently collaborated with on the album entitled, You, Whom I Have Always Hated.
On October 30, 2020, they released a collaboration album called May Our Chambers Be Full with Emma Ruth Rundle.
Style and artistry
Thou's style has been labeled as "experimental doom", stoner metal and sludge metal. On the band's style, AllMusic critic Gregory Heaney stated that "the band's sound blends the shuddering heaviness of doom with the oppressive atmospherics of black metal, giving the band a monolithic sound that feels, at times, inescapable."
Thou has taken a 'do it yourself' approach to touring which has become a defining characteristic of the band and its aesthetic. Thou's lyrics often espouse anarchist views. Thou also has covered artists from various rock music genres, including Nine Inch Nails' "Terrible Lie" (with The Body) and Nirvana songs "Something in the Way", "Sifting", and "Aneurysm".

Rindal Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Rindal Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Rindal. It is one of the churches for the Rindal parish which is part of the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a cruciform style in 1874 by the architects Johan Martin Helgesen and Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church seats about 420 people.
History
The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1548, but the church was not new that year. The first church in Rindal was a stave church and it was located about north of the present church site. The church may have been first built during the 14th century. At some point, the church was enlarged by adding a transept to make it a cruciform design. In 1649, one of the cross-arms of the transept was rebuilt and a new tower was built on the roof over the nave.
In 1689, the old, medieval church was torn down and a new church was built on the same site. The new church was a log building with a cruciform design. Despite being completed that year, the new church was not consecrated until 1693. This new church inherited the pulpit and baptismal font from the old stave church.
Around 1870, it was found necessary to build a new church since the old one was small, cold, and in poor condition. Plans were made for the new building and a new site, about south of the old church site was chosen. The old church was torn down in 1873 and its materials were sold. Work began in the winter of 1872-1873. The new church was designed by Johan Martin Helgesen who had input from the national church architect, Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The lead builder was Ole Olsen Scheistrøen. The new building was completed on the new site in 1874 and it was consecrated on 2 December 1874. The church was restored in 1935 and again in 1990. In 2014, the tower caught fire, but it was extinguished before the rest of the building caught fire.
Historically, the parish of Rindal was part of the Indre Nordmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. On 1 January 2020, the parish of Rindal was transferred to the Orkdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. This transfer is a result of the municipality of Rindal being transferred from Møre og Romsdal county to Trøndelag county on 1 January 2019.

The Waag is a former weigh house on the Waterkant in the historic centre of Paramaribo, Suriname. The building is a monument, and an Unesco World Heritage Site.
History
The Waag was built around 1686 to uniformly weigh and levy taxes on goods arriving in the colony. It was located in the harbour near the warehouses of the Dutch West India Company, and was initially a basic building. It which was extended several times, and a wharf was constructed nearby on the Suriname River.
In January 1821, a fire consumed a large part of the city centre including de Waag An architectural competition was organized to rebuilt the building. Willem de Vroome was the architect in charge of the rebuilding, and in 1824, the current building was completed.
Building
The Waag has been constructed with plastered brick, and is one of the few historic buildings in the centre not made out of wood. The building has two stories, and two 12 metre long piers extending towards the river. Inside the building is a wide open space supported by four massive columns, allowing the merchants to arrive with horse and carriage. On the second floor, there was an office of the Bank of Suriname.
Current situation
In 1965, the harbours were relocated to Beekhuizen, and the building started to decay. The old depots near the Waag were demolished. At the late 1980s, Stichting Waag (Waag Foundation) was established to preserve and restore the building. In 2007, a restaurant was opened in the building. The Rotary Club is located in the Waag as well. Nowadays, the Waag is known as a tourist attraction, and part of the night life.

The Ca2+:H+ antiporter-2 (CaCA2) family (TC# 2.A.106) is a member of the lysine exporter (LysE) superfamily. Note that this family differs from the calcium:cation antiporter (CaCA) family which belongs to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) superfamily. CaCA2 family proteins are found in bacteria, archaea, yeast, plants and animals. This family, previously called the uncharacterized Protein Family 0016 (UPF0016), is well conserved throughout prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They are usually 200-350 amino acyl residues long and exhibit 5-7 transmembrane segments (TMSs).
Members
The yeast golgi Gcr1-dependent translation factor 1 protein (Gdt1p; TC# 2.A.106.2.3) contributes to Ca2+ homeostasis. A yeast gdt1 mutant was found to be sensitive to high concentrations of Ca2+. This sensitivity was suppressed by expression of human TMEM165 in yeast. Patch-clamp analyses on human cells indicated that TMEM165 catalyzes Ca2+ transport. Defects in TMEM165 affected both Ca2+ and pH homeostasis. Gdt1p and TMEM165 are probably Golgi-localized Ca2+:H+ antiporters. Modification of the Golgi Ca2+ and pH balance could explain the glycosylation defects observed in TMEM165-deficient patients.
Physiological significance
Defects in the human TMEM165 homologue (TC# 2.A.106.2.2) are the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2K (CDG2K), an autosomal recessive disorder with variable phenotypes. Affected individuals show psychomotor and growth retardation, and most have short stature. Other features include dysmorphism, hypotonia, eye abnormalities, acquired microcephaly, hepatomegaly, and skeletal dysplasia.
Congenital disorders of glycosylation are caused by a defect in glycoprotein biosynthesis and are characterized by under-glycosylated serum glycoproteins and a wide variety of clinical features. The broad spectrum of features may reflect the critical role of N-glycoproteins during embryonic development, differentiation, and maintenance of cell functions.
General transport reaction
The generalized reaction catalyzed by CaCA2 family members is:
Ca2+ (cytoplasm) + H+ (golgi lumen) → Ca2+ (golgi lumen) + H+ (cytoplasm).

Rheinorange (Rhine Orange) is a sculpture erected in 1992 in Duisburg-Neuenkamp, Germany. It is located at the point where the Ruhr flows into the Rhine at 'Rheinkilometer 780', i.e. 780 km from the source of the Rhine. It was constructed from steel by the sculptor Lutz Fritsch from Köln.
It is 25 m tall, 7 m wide and 1 m thick, and weighs 83 tonnes. The cost was over 400.000 DM, which was donated by the Niederrhein IHK (chamber of commerce) after a fund-raising initiative by the young entrepreneurs members. The name Rheinorange is actually a play on words. It sounds like Reinorange (pure orange) which is RAL 2004 in the RAL color standard.
The sculpture is intended to form a landmark. The mouth of the river, the largest inland harbour in Europe, the most important steel district in Europe, a base for technology with a future, the Lehmbruck-Museum as an important gallery for modern sculpture in Europe, are all intended to be connected with each other in representing aspects of the economic and cultural life of Duisburg.
The Rhine Orange is a feature on the Ruhr Industrial Heritage Trail.

The third round of 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification was played from 8 to 14 June 2022 in six centralised venues. It was originally scheduled for 30 March 2021 to 29 March 2022, but the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) changed the dates on multiple occasions due to postponements of matches in the second round, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia.
Format
A total of 24 teams (22 teams which advanced from the second round and two teams which advanced from the play-off round) participated in the third round to compete for the final 11 slots in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. Since the 2023 former hosts China advanced to the third round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the automatic slot for the hosts was no longer necessary.
The 24 teams were divided into six groups of four teams to play single round-robin matches in six centralised venues. The group winners and the best five runners-up across all groups qualified for the Asian Cup, where they were joined by China and by the 12 teams which qualified directly from the second round.
On 17 February 2022, The AFC announced the six countries that would be hosting the third round: India, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Mongolia and Uzbekistan.
Qualified teams
Notes
Seeding
The seeding was based on the FIFA World Rankings at the time of the draw on 24 February 2022. Teams from the host countries were placed in a separate pot allotted for hosts member associations (MAs), although their final group positions reflected their original draw seeding.
Host Pot contained the teams from the host countries (group positions reflected their original draw seeding positions).
Pot 1 contained the teams ranked 1–6 (except Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and India).
Pot 2 contained the teams ranked 7–12 (except Kuwait).
Pot 3 contained the teams ranked 13–18 (except Malaysia).
Pot 4 contained the teams ranked 19–24 (except Mongolia).
The 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four. Each group contained one team from the host pot and the remaining seeding pots, except for the original seeding pot of the host country.
The national teams which qualified are presented in bold.
