"Huckleberry Hound Meets Wee Willie" is the first segment of the first episode of The Huckleberry Hound Show on September 29, 1958. It was produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, while the story was crafted by Charles Shows and Dan Gordon.
Plot
Huckleberry Hound is serving as a police officer and patrolling the streets until he receives a radio call to apprehend a gorilla named Wee Willie who has gotten loose throughout the city. After coming across his suspect, the playful ape has no intention of being taken in and quickly runs away into a busy construction site where both he and Huckleberry Hound begin to match wits. The cartoon ends with officer Huckleberry eventually trapping Wee Willie inside a barrel until he later escapes again, taking Huckleberry's entire patrol car with him.

Algorithmics is the systematic study of the design and analysis of algorithms. It is fundamental and one of the oldest fields of computer science. It includes algorithm design, the art of building a procedure which can solve efficiently a specific problem or a class of problem, algorithmic complexity theory, the study of estimating the hardness of problems by studying the properties of the algorithm that solves them, or algorithm analysis, the science of studying the properties of a problem, such as quantifying resources in time and memory space needed by this algorithm to solve this problem.
The term algorithmics is rarely used in the English-speaking world, where it is synonymous with algorithms and data structures. The term gained wider popularity after the publication of the book Algorithmics: The Spirit of Computing by David Harel.

Fred Cromer (born c. 1964) is an American businessman and President of Commercial Aircraft at Bombardier Aerospace, a Canadian aircraft manufacturer.
Early life
He was 51 years old in 2017. He received a Bachelors of Arts degree in Economics from the University of Michigan in 1986 and an MBA degree from DePaul University in Chicago.
Aviation career
He held positions at several U.S. airlines including Northwest Airlines, then Continental Airlines, followed by ExpressJet, where he was Vice President and Chief Financial Officer starting in July 1997. From July 2008 to 2015, he was at ILFC, one of the world's largest commercial aircraft lessors, where he expanded international operations to support key growth regions serving as President since 2011 and previously as Senior Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer. On April 9, 2015, he was appointed President of Commercial Aircraft at Bombardier Inc..
He came to Bombardier amid setbacks with its C Series jets and questions to whether the company would even survive, much less if the C Series would even be produced. One of his early actions was to hire Colin Boles, a former colleague in the commercial aircraft leasing business, as chief salesman for Bombardier Aerospace.
Cromer denied that a Boeing trade complaint about the C-Series led to an ownership stake by Airbus.

The 2018 German Football League season was the 40th edition of the top-level American football competition in Germany.
The regular season started on 21 April and finished on 9 September 2018, followed by the play-offs. The season culminated in the German Bowl XL, which was held on 13 October 2018 in Berlin.
Modus
During the regular season each club plays all other clubs in its division twice, home and away, resulting in each team playing 14 regular season games. There are no games between clubs from opposite divisions, interconference games having been abolished after the 2011 season.
The best four teams in each division qualify for the play-offs where, in the quarter-finals, teams from opposite divisions play each other, whereby the better placed teams have home field advantage. The first placed team plays the fourth placed from the other division and the second placed the third placed team. From the semi-finals onwards teams from the same division can meet again.
The eighth placed team in each division enter a two-leg play-off with the winner of the respective division of the German Football League 2, the second tier of the league system in Germany. The winners of this contest qualify for the GFL for the following season.
League tables
GFL
The league tables of the two GFL divisions:
North
The defending division champion Braunschweig had a harder time walking away with first place this time than the previous year. While the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes who had proven fierce competitors in 2017 disappeared into obscurity (from which they wouldn't emerge for some years to come), the Dresden Monarchs finished with the same record as the Lions and the game between the two in Braunschweig was a 28–28 draw (The GFL does not have regular season overtime, thus making drawn games more likely) and ultimately the head-to-head was the deciding factor giving Braunschweig first place ahead of Dresden as Dresden had lost their home game against Braunschweig 24–44, which was the only home game that year that Dresden did not win. Just half a game behind the top duo were the Berlin Rebels, who were now the sole top-flight representative of the German capital in German Football after their crosstown rivals, the Berlin Adler, were relegated the previous year. Much behind the top trio was the final Northern play-off entrant, the Cologne Crocodiles who had actually allowed more points scored by their opponents than they themselves had scored and finished barely above .500. The Hamburg Huskies were completely outmatched and lost every single game which continued into the relegation round ending their stint in the top flight that had begun in 2015.
South
In the South, Schwäbisch Hall continued its domination and added to the 17 wins of the previous season (14 regular season, 3 play-offs, including the German Bowl) another 14 on the way to a 50 game winning streak that wouldn't snap until German Bowl XLI. Frankfurt Universe were punished for some off-field financial improprieties by the league with having "four points" (equivalent to two victories) deducted from their total, but in the end it did not affect the standings as Frankfurt lost only to Schwäbisch Hall and won all its other games. In third place were the Allgäu Comets, the only other team with a winning record at 8–6. The tie-breaker for the fourth play-off spot in the South went to the Munich Cowboys as they had scored more points in their head-to-head games than the Marburg Mercenaries, both teams having won their home matches.
GFL2
The league tables of the two GFL2 divisions:
North
South
Relegation and Promotion round
Continuing their Yo-yo club tendencies, the Düsseldorf Panther returned to the top-flight after a two year absence. The following season would see them lose every single game, including both relegation matches against the Elmshorn Fighting Pirates sending them back to the second division GFL2 once more. In 2021 of course, they placed second there and are thus eligible to fill one of the two open spots for the 2022 German Football League in the North.
Play-offs
Frankfurt had surprising difficulty in the quarterfinals in overcoming the Berlin Rebels in a game where neither team scored a touchdown kicking the game winning field goal with 21 seconds remaining in the game after having given up a Safety in the fourth quarter. Frankfurt had fewer first downs, fewer passing yards, fewer rushing yards and fewer third down conversions while also possessing the ball for a shorter amount of time than Berlin, but while the Rebels had only one Field Goal to show for four Red Zone trips, Frankfurt scored a Field Goal during both their stints in the Red zone – enough to squeak by 6–5. The other quarterfinals saw the home teams win in more convincing fashion and there would thus be a repeat of the 2017 semifinal for Frankfurt while the Dresden Monarchs got another chance to snap their three game losing streak at Optima Sportpark, which had only been paused in 2017 because Dresden failed to make the semifinal altogether. Frankfurt managed to keep the game tied after four quarters and ultimately prevailed over Braunschweig in double overtime (both teams scored touchdowns with the point after Touchdown good in the first overtime period, but only Frankfurt scored in the second as Braunschweig were intercepted in their second possession) dealing the Lions their first post-season defeat since 2010. Dresden meanwhile failed to reverse their trend of semifinal defeats in Hall being shut out into the third quarter and having to give up a Safety in their 23–7 defeat to the defending champion. Thus German Bowl XL would see something not seen since 1981 – an all Southern final.

The Abbey of the Holy Trinity () is an 11th century Romanesque Benedictine Abbey church located in Lessay, Manche, France, then in Normandy. The abbey is one of the most important Norman Romanesque churches, and, along with Durham Cathedral, one of the first examples use of the rib vault to cover the choir in about 1098. This element became a key feature of Gothic architecture. The abbey was nearly destroyed in 1357. It was destroyed in 1944 and subsequently rebuilt.
History
The Benedictine Abbey of the Holy Trinity in Lessay was founded in 1056 by , Baron of La Haye-du-Puits, and his wife Emma, who deeded all their holdings in the Sainte-Opportune parish to the new monastery. This charter was confirmed in 1080 by Eudes au Capel, Turstin's son and William the Conqueror's seneschal. Duke William and Geoffrey de Montbray, bishop of Coutances, signed the abbey's charter, as did the bishops of Canterbury, York, Bayeux, Winchester, and St. Anselm. Eudes au Capel was buried in Lessay Abbey's choir in 1098.
When , Archbishop of Rouen, visited Lessay in 1250, the abbey had 36 monks, had 1,400 livres in its treasury and owed 450 to its creditors. When Riguad visited again in 1266, there were 56 monks, but hostilities with the Kingdom of England had caused the monastery significant privations.
In 1337, Lessay's abbot had a parish church independent of the abbey built for Sainte-Opportune parish. The monastery bestowed the townships of Anneville-en-Saire and Bolleville with a trade fair in 1423.

The High Commission was withdrawn on 12 November 1965, following the Unilateral Declaration of Independence of Rhodesia the previous day. Zimbabwe became an independent nation in 1980 following the Lancaster House Agreement on 21 December 1979. Initially Zimbabwe was a member of the British Commonwealth so the UK's diplomatic representatives were High Commissioners. Zimbabwe withdrew from the Commonwealth in 2003 and since then the UK's representatives have been Ambassadors.
Emmerson Mnagagwa, the President of Zimbabwe has stated that Zimbabwe will seek a return to its membership of the Commonwealth during 2018, following in the footsteps of The Gambia, which returned to its status as a republic in the Commonwealth of Nations on 8 February 2018. If this does occur, then the UK's head of mission in Zimbabwe will again be a High Commissioner.

Crossea miranda is a species of small sea snail or micromollusc, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Conradiidae.
Description
The height of the white shell varies between 3 mm and 6 mm. It contains 3-4 whorls that increase rapidly in size. They are very convex and spirally striate. They contain thin, low, longitudinal, not synchronized varices; this makes it unusual. The aperture is produced below.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off New Zealand and Japan.

The Heimwehfluhbahn (DIH) is a funicular at Interlaken in the Swiss Canton of Bern. It runs to the top of the nearby Heimwehfluh hill at an altitude of above sea level. The funicular provides access to the hilltop restaurant, an observation tower, an O scale model railway, a children's playground and a bobsleigh run (a second one existed but has since become overgrown and unused).
Overview
The funicular, built between 1904 and 1906, has a length of and overcomes a vertical distance of with a maximum gradient of 69%. There are two wooden cars dating from 1906, operating on a single track of narrow gauge track with a central passing loop. With curtains at the unglazed windows, the line presents an intentionally heritage image. A single journey takes 2 minutes.

Christopher John Glen (born 6 November 1950), known simply as Chris Glen, is a Scottish rock musician. He is best known for playing with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band from 1972 to 1977, and Michael Schenker Group from 1980 to 1984, 2008 to 2010, and 2016 to 2020. He also performed with Michael Schenker Fest; featuring original MSG band members.
Early career and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Glen began his career as bassist for a band known as The Jade in 1969. That band changed their name to Mustard, which eventually was composed of Eddie Campbell (keyboards), Zal Cleminson (guitar), Glen (bass, vocals), Gilson Lavis (drums) and Andi Mulvey (vocals). After changing their name to Tear Gas, Mulvey was replaced by David Batchelor, and Lavis was replaced by Richard Munro. This lineup recorded their first album Piggy Go Getter in 1970. Eventually another personnel change saw Campbell leave and Ted McKenna and his cousin Hugh McKenna take over for Munro and Batchelor (who went on to produce several SAHB albums). They recorded a second album Tear Gas in 1971. Neither album sold well.
In 1972, fellow Scotsman Alex Harvey joined forces with Tear Gas and together they formed the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. They played with the lineup of Harvey, Cleminson, Glen and the McKennas until a personnel change in 1976 which saw Hugh McKenna replaced by Tommy Eyre. Harvey who had left briefly in 1976, left the band for good in 1977. The band disbanded just before the release of the album Rock Drill. The band were due to start a European Tour which started in Stockholm, Sweden but Alex left the rehearsal studio early as he had seen a Purple Light which means you cannot cross water. Alex was very superstitious and told the band he could not cross water to start the tour and eventually left the band. The surviving members of SAHB formed several times between 1993 and 2008 with various vocalists.
John Martyn
Glen had a brief spell with guitarist John Martyn where he performed at Glastonbury in 1979. Glen was also part of Martyn's album Grace and Danger.
Michael Schenker Group (1980–1984)
After his record deal with Mountain Management expired, Glen was now a free agent to perform with other acts properly and it was around 1980 he was introduced to German rock guitarist Michael Schenker who shot to fame in Scorpions and UFO respectively. Glen performed on the albums Michael Schenker Group, Assault Attack, Built to Destroy and two live albums: Live at the Budokan with Cozy Powell on drums, and then a few years later Rock Will Never Die with Ted McKenna on drums. Glen left MSG in 1984 due to Schenker's erratic behaviour with drink and drugs.
GMT (Glen/Macaulay/Taylor) (1985)
Shortly after leaving MSG, Glen formed his first band GMT which consisted of Vocalist Robin MacAulay, ex Motorhead drummer Phil 'Philthy' Taylor, and Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson. The band released a 4 track EP called Wargames but disbanded shortly after that. Glen done session work for TV and Radio, as well as working as a bus driver in London.
Ian Gillan Band (1990)
In 1990, Glen was approached by Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan to be part of the rhythm section of his solo band which would see him pair up once again with SAHB/MSG drummer Ted McKenna and they embarked on a world tour to promote Gillan's solo album Naked Thunder. This tour also released a live DVD from the tour which was filmed in Nottingham, England.
Reunions with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band (1992–2008)
In 1991, Ted McKenna formed The Party Boys which was a super group of musicians with guest vocalists which featured the likes Alan Thomson on Bass, Zal Cleminson on Guitar, Ronnie Leahy on Keyboards, and vocalists such as Stevie Doherty, Fish, and Dan McCafferty. This then changed when Ronnie and Alan were unable to do a handful of shows so Ted brought in Glen on bass and SAHB keyboardist Hugh McKenna.
This band lasted about 2 years before they decided to reform as SAHB as the line up was pretty much SAHB (Without Alex). They stuck with vocalist Stevie Doherty and had relative success in the UK and Europe and also released a live album called Live in Glasgow 93.
This line-up of SAHB disbanded in 1995, before reforming in 2002 for a tribute night to Frankie Miller at The Barrowlands in Glasgow with ex Nazareth guitarist Billy Rankin on vocals. After a year 'Mad' Max Maxwell replaced Rankin on vocals.
SAHB released a live album titled Zalvation, which was their first official release since Rock Drill with Alex Harvey in 1977, and an autobiography called SAHBSTORY, written by former tour manager and author Martin Keilty. The band performed numerous tours and festivals across the UK, Europe, and Australia before once again disbanding in 2008 after the departure of Zal Cleminson on guitar. The band carried out a handful of shows that were pre-booked with guitarist Julian Hutson Saxby but after that, they decided to move on to separate projects.
Chris Glen & The Outfit (2008–2020)
In 2008, Glen has formed his own band Chris Glen and the Outfit which featured ex Rainbow vocalist Doogie White, SAHB Frontman Max Maxwell, ex Marianne Faithful guitarist Brian McFie, and ex Texas drummer Ross McFarlane.
The Outfit members changed a lot over the years and some of the musicians included:
Davie Halley - Drums
John McClelland - Drums
Julian Hutson Saxby - Guitar
Dave Cuthbert - Guitar
Jon Morrison - Guitar
Peter Higgins - Vocals
Peter Scallan - Vocals
Leon Gowrie - Vocals
Stuart Clyde - Keyboards
David Cowan Keyboards
Sean McQueen - Keyboards
and more..
This project consisted of material that Glen had been playing throughout his career from SAHB, Michael Schenker, and Ian Gillan. No original material was ever written or performed during this venture.
Michael Schenker Group (2008–2010)
Glen re-joined the Michael Schenker Group (MSG) to 2010 to promote the album, In the Midst of Beauty. That was Glen's first tour with MSG since he left in 1984 shortly after recording the Built to Destroy album. He has also performed on two tracks on Michael Schenker's 2010 album Temple of Rock. During this time Glen performed several tours in the UK, and Japan and selected dates in Europe. They played some notable festivals such as Hard Rock Hell. Glen would be invited into the line up periodically thereafter.
Gwyn Ashton / Paul Rose
Glen and Ted McKenna worked with Australian guitarist Gwyn Ashton, on an album called Prohibition in 2004 and performed shows to promote it. This was a brief project that both Glen and McKenna were involved in. Later in 2004, McKenna was working with Paul Rose and asked Glen to come in for some shows with the band but shortly left and was replaced by Alan Thomson. McKenna continued to work with Rose on and off until his passing in 2019.
Cafe Jacques
He is a member of the reformed 1970s band Cafe Jacques with drummer Davie Halley, keyboardist Stuart Clyde, and original vocalist/guitarist Chris Thomson. The band released a 3-track EP called Lifer before disbanding following the death of drummer Davie Halley.
Votadini
Glen was part of the 3 piece project composed mainly of rock standards with a twist. The band consisted of Chris Thomson on guitar and vocals, and Johnny 'Bohran' Watson.
Chris Slade Timeline / Steel Circle
Glen was asked by the legendary drummer Chris Slade to do a European Tour with his band Steel Circle, which was a band put together to perform the hits of Slade's career. This soon molded into Chris Slade's Timeline. Slade was a member of AC/DC as well as worked with David Gilmour, Manfred Mann, The Firm with Jimmy Page, Tom Jones and many more. This tour was for Slade's 50th anniversary in the music business.
Michael Schenker Fest
In 2016, Glen and Ted McKenna rejoined Michael Schenker for Michael Schenker Fest - a Celebration of the musical career of the rock guitar legend. They recorded in Tokyo the live DVD and double CD package Tokyo International Forum Hall A and 2018 their first studio album Resurrection. Ted McKenna died on 19 January 2019, and was replaced by Bodo Schopf. The band recorded 2019 their follow up studio album Revelation. In 2022 Michael Schenker Fest reverted to being MSG and the line up of the band changed and Glen was no longer involved.
The Bass Business
In and around 2018, Glen decided it was time to put all his stories and his experiences on paper so he collaborated with author and former SAHB Manager Martin Keilty to write a book called The Bass Business which received reasonable success and sales. There is talk of a second book as Glen has so many stories he could not fit them into the one book! Nothing has been confirmed on this as of yet.
The Outfit Featuring Chris Glen
Glen performs fairly regularly with a revised version of The Outfit mainly in the Glasgow and Edinburgh circuit. They are now known as The Outfit Featuring Chris Glen as opposed to Chris Glen & The Outfit. Lead guitarist Peter Higgins has taken the reins of the project and in 2022 the band recorded their first EP and are currently working on a debut studio album yet to be named. The band feature Peter Higgins on Guitar, Chris Aylward on Lead Vocals and Guitar, and John Clelland on Drums. Occasionally they use keyboards and it is known that they use local and respected players and former band members Stuart Clyde and David Cowan respectively when required. In recent gigs, The Outfit have shared the stage with SAHB tribute band The SAHB Experience as well as the reformed sin'dogs and Tyson Schenker (Michael Schenker's son) band MadreSun.
Currently
Due to health related issues, Glen is no longer able to tour extensively as he is currently awaiting surgery on his knees. Regardless of this, Glen has lived an incredible life and performed all over the world and is still regarded as one of the best players in the business. Glen still attends gigs as regularly as he can to support upcoming bands and is part of the Shock City Promotions team based in Glasgow who put on bands in various venues throughout the UK.

Adella Kean Zametkin (born Adella Emanuelovna Khean; October 12, 1863 – May 19, 1931) was an American writer and activist.
Life
Zametkin was born on October 12, 1863, in Mohyliv-Podilskyi, Russian Empire, in modern-day Ukraine, as Adella Emanuelovna Khean. Her parents were saloon-keepers.
Zametkin was given private lessons from a tutor at an early age, and as a young woman was a tutor herself to poor girls. She immigrated to America in 1888 and quickly gravitated towards the socialist movement. She participated in the Socialist Labor Party, lectured in women's groups, and contributed to leading socialist publications. She helped found The Forward in 1897 and worked as its cashier. She wrote and lectured on women's issues like nutrition, hygiene, birth control, and child education. She focused on aiding Americanizing poor Jews in the Lower East Side, and was credited with organizing several women's organizations.
In 1918, Zametkin began running a weekly column in Der Tog called Fun a froy tsu froyen (From one woman/wife to another), which was soon supplemented by a second weekly column called In der froyen velt (In the world of women/wives). The columns included mainly advice on household management like cooking tips and recipes as well as teaching women about topics like microbes and the importance of getting fresh air, with the goal of making Jewish working-class immigrant more educated of modern American society She also wrote about history, science, notable women like Florence Nightingale.
Zametkin translated several books into Yiddish, including Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What is to Be Done and Émile Zola's La Bête humaine. In 1930, she published Der froys handbukh (The woman’s handbook).
In 1928, Zametkin ran for the New York State Assembly as a Socialist in Queens County's 4th District, losing to Republican Robert J. Hunt. She ran again in the same district in 1929, losing to Democrat Joseph D. Nunan. She ran for a third time in the district in 1930, losing to Democrat James A. Burke. The district was in Jamaica, Queens. While she lost each election, she polled more votes than any other previous Socialist candidate had in the district.
In 1889, she married labor leader Michael Zametkin. They had a son and two daughters, including Laura Z. Hobson.
Death
Zametkin died following a long illness at Presbyterian Hospital on May 19, 1931.

James Dickson Phillips Jr. (September 23, 1922 – August 27, 2017) was an American attorney and jurist who served as a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
Early life and education
Born in Scotland County, North Carolina, Phillips grew up in Laurinburg, North Carolina and attended its public schools. He graduated from high school in 1939 as the salutatorian of his graduating class. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree Phi Beta Kappa in 1943 from Davidson College and a Juris Doctor in 1948 from the University of North Carolina School of Law, where he was associate editor of the school's law review and a member of the Order of the Coif.
Military service
Phillips was a First Lieutenant in the United States Army from 1943 until 1946. He served as a rifle platoon leader in the 17th Airborne Division's 513th Parachute Regiment while it took part in three European campaigns: the Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe. Following a parachute drop over the Rhine River on March 28, 1945, Phillips was wounded, evacuated and remained hospitalized until the end of World War II. Phillips ultimately was awarded the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and a Presidential Unit Citation.
Career
Phillips served as the assistant director of the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill, North Carolina from 1948 until 1949, and then he worked in private law practice in Laurinburg from 1949 until 1955. From 1955 until 1959, he worked in private law practice in Fayetteville, North Carolina. From 1960 until 1964, Phillips was a lecturer and an associate professor of law at the University of North Carolina School of Law. He then became a professor of law at the same institution from 1964 until 1978, specializing in procedural law. He concurrently served as the school's dean from 1964 until 1974.
Federal judicial service
Phillips was nominated by President Jimmy Carter on July 20, 1978, to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit vacated by Judge James Braxton Craven Jr. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 11, 1978, and received commission the same day. He assumed senior status on July 31, 1994, serving in that status until his death at his home in Chapel Hill. From 1994 to 1995 he had as a law clerk Mitchell Berman, who later became a Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

Joep van Liefland (born 1966 in Utrecht) is a contemporary conceptual artist from Netherlands. He lives and works in Berlin.
His work focuses on the phenomenology of media and their transformation. He is particularly interested in the matter of impermanence and disappearance that are closely connected to the technological progress. Using the example of technology, Joep van Liefland addresses the process of alteration and transformation as well as the universal concepts that underlie the transition from old to new.
For his art pieces, Joep van Liefland uses various outdated distribution and storage devices. He arranges them into space-filling installations, as in the work series „VIDEO PALACE“, or uses them to create sculptures, wall objects, screen prints, and collages.
Since 2001, Joep van Liefland runs, together with Maik Schierloh, the art space AUTOCENTER in Berlin where international art positions are presented regularly.

Linda Sue Cordell (October 11, 1943 - March 29, 2013) was an American archaeologist and anthropologist. She was a leading researcher of the archaeology of the Southwest United States and Ancestral Pueblo communities. She authored a number of notable books familiar to both the general public and scholars, including the Prehistory of the Southwest. Cordell was well recognized for her mentorship and leadership in the field; she received many awards and honors throughout her career, including being elected to the National Academies of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and an endowed Peabody Award was named in honor of her in 2014.
Early life and education
Cordell was born in New York City, NY October 11, 1943. She was exposed to the sciences early on, her father Harry Seinfeld was a pharmacist and her mother Evelyn S. Kessler, earned her Ph.D. in anthropology from Columbia University and was a professor of Anthropology at the University of South Florida. In 1965 Cordell graduated with distinction and Phi Beta Kappa from George Washington University. It was during time that she was introduced to Southwest Archaeology, when she was invited to join an exclusive school trip to Florence Hawley Ellis’s University of New Mexico field school at the pueblo of Sapawe. After completing her bachelor's degree Cordell moved to the University of Oregon and earned a master's. She then complete her PhD in 1972 at the University of California, Santa Barbara, working on one of the first archeological projects that implemented statistical methods.
Career
Cordell was a longtime academic researcher and professor. After completion of her PhD, she moved to the University of New Mexico where she remained until 1987. Then she moved to the California Academy of Sciences where she was the Irvine Curator and Chair of the Anthropology Department until 1993. Cordell was also a visiting professor at Stanford University in 1990. Finally, Cordell moved to the University of Colorado where she was appointed Professor of Anthropology and Director of the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History. She remained her until she retired in 2013. On March 29, 2013 Linda S. Cordell died in her home in Santa Fe while working on a scientific paper.
Cordell's research focused on the pre-Columbian history of the Southwestern United States. She was particularly interested in the anthropology of the Pueblo Indians, their social organization, their migration and demography and their culture (especially ceramics). In the field of archaeobotany Cordell dealt with the distribution and use of the corn plant. In addition, she wrote various books on the archaeology of the Southwest or the Pueblo Indians in general. She was also extremely active in teaching, mentorship and the representation of women in the field of archaeology.

In mathematics, the Fourier inversion theorem says that for many types of functions it is possible to recover a function from its Fourier transform. Intuitively it may be viewed as the statement that if we know all frequency and phase information about a wave then we may reconstruct the original wave precisely.
The theorem says that if we have a function satisfying certain conditions, and we use the convention for the Fourier transform that
then
In other words, the theorem says that
This last equation is called the Fourier integral theorem.
Another way to state the theorem is that if is the flip operator i.e. , then
The theorem holds if both and its Fourier transform are absolutely integrable (in the Lebesgue sense) and is continuous at the point . However, even under more general conditions versions of the Fourier inversion theorem hold. In these cases the integrals above may not converge in an ordinary sense.
Statement
In this section we assume that is an integrable continuous function. Use the convention for the Fourier transform that
Furthermore, we assume that the Fourier transform is also integrable.
Inverse Fourier transform as an integral
The most common statement of the Fourier inversion theorem is to state the inverse transform as an integral. For any integrable function and all set
Then for all we have
Fourier integral theorem
The theorem can be restated as
By taking the real part of each side of the above we obtain
Inverse transform in terms of flip operator
For any function define the flip operator by
Then we may instead define
It is immediate from the definition of the Fourier transform and the flip operator that both and match the integral definition of , and in particular are equal to each other and satisfy .
Since we have and
Two-sided inverse
The form of the Fourier inversion theorem stated above, as is common, is that
In other words, is a left inverse for the Fourier transform. However it is also a right inverse for the Fourier transform i.e.
Since is so similar to , this follows very easily from the Fourier inversion theorem (changing variables ):
Alternatively, this can be seen from the relation between and the flip operator and the associativity of function composition, since
Conditions on the function
When used in physics and engineering, the Fourier inversion theorem is often used under the assumption that everything "behaves nicely". In mathematics such heuristic arguments are not permitted, and the Fourier inversion theorem includes an explicit specification of what class of functions is being allowed. However, there is no "best" class of functions to consider so several variants of the Fourier inversion theorem exist, albeit with compatible conclusions.
Schwartz functions
The Fourier inversion theorem holds for all Schwartz functions (roughly speaking, smooth functions that decay quickly and whose derivatives all decay quickly). This condition has the benefit that it is an elementary direct statement about the function (as opposed to imposing a condition on its Fourier transform), and the integral that defines the Fourier transform and its inverse are absolutely integrable. This version of the theorem is used in the proof of the Fourier inversion theorem for tempered distributions (see below).
Integrable functions with integrable Fourier transform
The Fourier inversion theorem holds for all continuous functions that are absolutely integrable (i.e. ) with absolutely integrable Fourier transform. This includes all Schwartz functions, so is a strictly stronger form of the theorem than the previous one mentioned. This condition is the one used above in the statement section.
A slight variant is to drop the condition that the function be continuous but still require that it and its Fourier transform be absolutely integrable. Then almost everywhere where is a continuous function, and for every .
Integrable functions in one dimension
Piecewise smooth; one dimension
If the function is absolutely integrable in one dimension (i.e. ) and is piecewise smooth then a version of the Fourier inversion theorem holds. In this case we define
Then for all
i.e. equals the average of the left and right limits of at . At points where is continuous this simply equals .
A higher-dimensional analogue of this form of the theorem also holds, but according to Folland (1992) is "rather delicate and not terribly useful".
Piecewise continuous; one dimension
If the function is absolutely integrable in one dimension (i.e. ) but merely piecewise continuous then a version of the Fourier inversion theorem still holds. In this case the integral in the inverse Fourier transform is defined with the aid of a smooth rather than a sharp cut off function; specifically we define
The conclusion of the theorem is then the same as for the piecewise smooth case discussed above.
Continuous; any number of dimensions
If is continuous and absolutely integrable on then the Fourier inversion theorem still holds so long as we again define the inverse transform with a smooth cut off function i.e.
The conclusion is now simply that for all
No regularity condition; any number of dimensions
If we drop all assumptions about the (piecewise) continuity of and assume merely that it is absolutely integrable, then a version of the theorem still holds. The inverse transform is again defined with the smooth cut off, but with the conclusion that
for almost every
Square integrable functions
In this case the Fourier transform cannot be defined directly as an integral since it may not be absolutely convergent, so it is instead defined by a density argument (see the Fourier transform article). For example, putting
we can set where the limit is taken in the -norm. The inverse transform may be defined by density in the same way or by defining it in terms of the Fourier transform and the flip operator. We then have
in the mean squared norm. In one dimension (and one dimension only), it can also be shown that it converges for almost every - this is Carleson's theorem, but is much harder to prove than convergence in the mean squared norm.
Tempered distributions
The Fourier transform may be defined on the space of tempered distributions by duality of the Fourier transform on the space of Schwartz functions. Specifically for and for all test functions we set
where is defined using the integral formula. If then this agrees with the usual definition. We may define the inverse transform , either by duality from the inverse transform on Schwartz functions in the same way, or by defining it in terms of the flip operator (where the flip operator is defined by duality). We then have
Relation to Fourier series
The Fourier inversion theorem is analogous to the convergence of Fourier series. In the Fourier transform case we have
In the Fourier series case we instead have
In particular, in one dimension and the sum runs from to .
Applications
In applications of the Fourier transform the Fourier inversion theorem often plays a critical role. In many situations the basic strategy is to apply the Fourier transform, perform some operation or simplification, and then apply the inverse Fourier transform.
More abstractly, the Fourier inversion theorem is a statement about the Fourier transform as an operator (see Fourier transform on function spaces). For example, the Fourier inversion theorem on shows that the Fourier transform is a unitary operator on .
Properties of inverse transform
The inverse Fourier transform is extremely similar to the original Fourier transform: as discussed above, it differs only in the application of a flip operator. For this reason the properties of the Fourier transform hold for the inverse Fourier transform, such as the Convolution theorem and the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma.
Tables of Fourier transforms may easily be used for the inverse Fourier transform by composing the looked-up function with the flip operator. For example, looking up the Fourier transform of the rect function we see that
so the corresponding fact for the inverse transform is
Proof
The proof uses a few facts, given and .
If and , then .

The first ever Cricket World Cup was organised for women in 1973 by the English Women's Cricket Association, based on an idea by cricketer Rachel Heyhoe Flint and businessman Jack Hayward. After the success of the Women's Cricket World Cup, the men's tournament took place two years later.
Seven teams competed in the inaugural tournament in England which took place over five and a half weeks. Each ODI match was 60 overs and every team played each other in a round-robin league format. Subsequent tournaments were hampered by lack of funds for women's teams meaning that their scheduling for many years was inconsistent. The 1997 World Cup was the first to be played with 50 overs and a knock-out stage.
Since the inaugural tournament, there have been a total of 12 World Cups with the 13th planned for 2025 in India. Australia have won the most World Cups, having won 7 out of the 12 tournaments. Several important records have been set at the Women's World cup, including the first 400+ score in ODI cricket and the first ODI double century, both of which predate the records in men's ODIs.
Notation
Team notation
(300–3) indicates that a team scored 300 runs for three wickets and the innings was closed, either due to a successful run chase or if no overs remained (or are able) to be bowled.
(300) indicates that a team scored 300 runs and was all out, either by losing all ten wickets or by having one or more batters unable to bat and losing the remaining wickets.
Batting notation
(100) indicates that a batter scored 100 runs and was out.
(100*) indicates that a batter scored 100 runs and was not out.
Bowling notation
(5–100) indicates that a bowler has captured five wickets while giving away 100 runs.

Francis Clifton, M.D. (d. 1736), was an English physician.
Education
Clifton was the fourth and youngest son of Josiah Clifton, merchant, of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and his wife Mary, the only child of Thomas Fenne of the same town. Deciding to follow the medical profession, he entered Leyden on 23 May 1724, and before the end of the year graduated doctor of medicine there. His inaugural dissertation, De distinctis et con-fluentibus Variolis (Leyden, 1724) was included by Albrecht von Haller in the fifth volume of his Disputationes ad Morborum Historiam et Curationem Facientes.
Career
Clifton afterwards settled in London, where his classical and scientific attainments won him the friendship of many eminent men, including Sir Hans Sloane, at whose instance he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society on 22 June 1727. The same year he published , (London, 1727), which was followed in 1732 by Proposals for Printing, by subscription, all the works of Hippocrates in Greek and Latin, digested in a new and regular manner, but from want of encouragement the intended publication never appeared. Clifton received the honorary degree of M.D. from Cambridge on 26 April 1728, during the visit of George II; was admitted a candidate of the College of Physicians on 23 December in the same year, a fellow on 22 December 1729, and read the Gulstonian lectures in 1732.
In 1731 he published Tabular observations recommended as the plainest and surest way of practising and improving physick. The state of physick, ancient and modern, briefly considered in the following year: with a plan for the improvement of it. In these, Clifton advocated that physicians should base their ideas about the effectiveness of their remedies on a statistical analysis of their effects on their patients, rather than on theory.
Death in Jamaica
Clifton also held the appointment of physician to Frederick, Prince of Wales, which he resigned, and abruptly quitted London for Jamaica in 1734. Writing to Sir Hans Sloane from Kingston in that island on 3 June 1736, he says : "My misfortunes came so fast upon me, and my brother's provocations were so frequently repeated, that I was hurried in a manner to death about 'em". He died a few weeks afterwards, leaving no issue by his wife, Sarah Banckes, daughter of a merchant in Leadenhall Street. In the letters of administration P.C.C. granted on 6 Nov. 1736 to his widow, Clifton is described as "late of the parish of St. George, Hanover Square, Middlesex, but at Kingston in Jamaica, deceased". His widow survived until 1747, and was buried in the parish church of St. Andrew Undershaft.
At the time of his death Clifton was engaged in drawing up an account of the diseases of Jamaica, but left it unfinished. He also published Hippocrates upon Air, Water, and Situation ... To this is added Thucydides' Account of the Plague of Athens. Translated and ... illustrated with notes (London 1734).

A. A. Evans (December 24, 1862 – November 9, 1935) was a justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama from 1909 to 1910.
Biography
Evans was born in Clayton, Alabama and was the son of John Quincy and France Elizabeth (Collier) Evans, and the grandson of John Evans and of Vines and Sarah Collier. The Collier family came to Upson County, Georgia from Virginia. Evans graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1885 and was a member of Phi Delta Alpha.
Evans was at one time a judge of the circuit court serving in Lee County. For a few years, he taught school while reading law. In December, 1888, Aurelius Augustus Evans married Celestia Victoria Waddell. They had three children. In 1889, he was admitted to the bar and Clayton for nine years, until he was elected circuit judge in 1898, he served on the circuit court for eleven years. In 1909, he accepted an appointment by Governor Braxton Bragg Comer to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of N. D. Denson. Evans chose not to run for election the following year. Following his term on the court, Evans served for eight years on the State Tax Commission and also as special assistant attorney general.
In September 1909, N. D. Denson resigned, and A. A. Evans, of Barbour, was appointed to succeed him. In 1910, Ormond Somerville succeeded Evans, who resigned. Evans died in Montgomery, Alabama.

Sally Vincent (22 April 1937 – 26 December 2013) was a British journalist, best known for her interviews of prominent people.
Background and early life
Vincent was born in Chelsea, London. Her father, Albert Webb, was a Metropolitan Police detective inspector, who had assisted in gathering evidence that resulted in the conviction of John George Haigh, the Acid Bath murderer. Vincent attended the Grey Coat Hospital school for girls, where she represented London in athletics and was also a skilful singer.
She was briefly married to advertising copywriter Michael Vincent, in the 1960s, and also had a relationship with the psychiatrist R. D. Laing.
Career
Before becoming a journalist, Vincent was employed by a rolling paper company. From 1965, Vincent she wrote frequently for the new Nova magazine, later moving to the Daily Mirror, where she wrote a beauty column, then a column on cookery that was subsequently taken over by Delia Smith. Vincent also wrote for Punch and for The Sunday Times. In 1975 she appeared as a reporter and presenter in the four television broadcasts made by the National Referendum Campaign, advocating a No vote in the referendum on EC membership.
In 1992, she was approached by Deborah Orr (then editor of the weekend edition of The Guardian) and was offered "the pick of interview subjects, and total freedom to write pieces as long as she wanted, from whatever angle she saw fit, and with no changes to her copy without permission"' by Orr.
Orr has attributed Vincent's success as an interviewer to a mix of factors: "She was intimidated by no one. Partly, it was just hard work. Sally would always turn up ultra-fully prepared, her research exhaustive, her analysis of the available clues forensic...above all though, Sally was simply 'a natural as a writer, her minute observation and ability to ask the right question easily matched by her way with a phrase."

Tom Dodd (born 28 October 1997) is an English born Scottish rugby union player who currently plays for Edinburgh Rugby in the United Rugby Championship.
Club career
Dodd joined the Worcester Warriors academy ahead of the 2016-17 season. He made his first-team debut in an Anglo-Welsh Cup clash against Sale Sharks at Sixways Stadium in November 2017. He went on to play three times in the 2017-18 season while he thoroughly impressed for Worcester Cavaliers in their Premiership Rugby Shield campaign, scoring three tries in all ten of the side's fixtures as they finished third in the Northern Conference.
Dodd also spent time with Luctonians during the 2016-17 season on a dual registered basis, before playing for Birmingham Moseley and Stourbridge in 2017-18 season. Dodd also helped Hartpury University to win 2016-17 National League 1 title, thus promoted to the RFU Championship from the 2017-18 season.
Dodd returned to action, following a knee surgery, in the European Rugby Challenge Cup victory over Enisei-STM in Russia in November 2019. His Premiership debut followed as a blood replacement for Sam Lewis against Northampton Saints at Sixways in March 2020.
On 21 January 2020, Dodd signed his first professional contract, which is a two-year deal until the end of summer of 2022, thus promoted to the senior squad from the 2020-21 season.
On 5 October 2022 all Worcester players had their contacts terminated due to the liquidation of the company to which they were contracted.
On 13 October 2022, Dodd signed for Coventry in the RFU Championship for the rest of the 2022-23 season.
International career
He represented England Counties U18s against both France U18s and Ireland U18s at Ashbourne RFC near Ashbourne, County Meath in Ireland.
Dodd represented Scotland U20s through the 2017 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. He also helped them to a best-ever finish in the 2017 World Rugby Under 20 Championship, as they defeated Australia U20s to book a fifth-place finish in the tournament.

In abstract algebra, the sedenions form a 16-dimensional noncommutative and nonassociative algebra over the real numbers, usually represented by the capital letter S, boldface or blackboard bold . They are obtained by applying the Cayley–Dickson construction to the octonions, and as such the octonions are isomorphic to a subalgebra of the sedenions. Unlike the octonions, the sedenions are not an alternative algebra. Applying the Cayley–Dickson construction to the sedenions yields a 32-dimensional algebra, sometimes called the 32-ions or trigintaduonions. It is possible to continue applying the Cayley–Dickson construction arbitrarily many times.
The term sedenion is also used for other 16-dimensional algebraic structures, such as a tensor product of two copies of the biquaternions, or the algebra of 4 × 4 matrices over the real numbers, or that studied by .
Arithmetic
Like octonions, multiplication of sedenions is neither commutative nor associative.
But in contrast to the octonions, the sedenions do not even have the property of being alternative.
They do, however, have the property of power associativity, which can be stated as that, for any element x of , the power is well defined. They are also flexible.
Every sedenion is a linear combination of the unit sedenions , , , , ..., ,
which form a basis of the vector space of sedenions. Every sedenion can be represented in the form
Addition and subtraction are defined by the addition and subtraction of corresponding coefficients and multiplication is distributive over addition.
Like other algebras based on the Cayley–Dickson construction, the sedenions contain the algebra they were constructed from. So, they contain the octonions (generated by to in the table below), and therefore also the quaternions (generated by to ), complex numbers (generated by and ) and real numbers (generated by ).
The sedenions have a multiplicative identity element and multiplicative inverses, but they are not a division algebra because they have zero divisors. This means that two nonzero sedenions can be multiplied to obtain zero: an example is . All hypercomplex number systems after sedenions that are based on the Cayley–Dickson construction also contain zero divisors.
A sedenion multiplication table is shown below:
Sedenion properties
From the above table, we can see that:
and
Anti-associative
The sedenions are not fully anti-associative. Choose any four generators, and . The following 5-cycle shows that these five relations cannot all be anti-associative.
In particular, in the table above, using and the last expression associates.

showed that the space of pairs of norm-one sedenions that multiply to zero is homeomorphic to the compact form of the exceptional Lie group G2. (Note that in his paper, a "zero divisor" means a pair of elements that multiply to zero.)
demonstrated that the three generations of leptons and quarks that are associated with unbroken gauge symmetry can be represented using the algebra of the complexified sedenions . Their reasoning follows that a primitive idempotent projector — where is chosen as an imaginary unit akin to for in the Fano plane — that acts on the standard basis of the sedenions uniquely divides the algebra into three sets of split basis elements for , whose adjoint left actions on themselves generate three copies of the Clifford algebra which in-turn contain minimal left ideals that describe a single generation of fermions with unbroken gauge symmetry. In particular, they note that tensor products between normed division algebras generate zero divisors akin to those inside , where for the lack of alternativity and associativity does not affect the construction of minimal left ideals since their underlying split basis requires only two basis elements to be multiplied together, in-which associativity or alternativity are uninvolved. Still, these ideals constructed from an adjoint algebra of left actions of the algebra on itself remain associative, alternative, and isomorphic to a Clifford algebra. Altogether, this permits three copies of to exist inside . Furthermore, these three complexified octonion subalgebras are not independent; they share a common subalgebra, which the authors note could form a theoretical basis for CKM and PMNS matrices that, respectively, describe quark mixing and neutrino oscillations.
Sedenion neural networks provide a means of efficient and compact expression in machine learning applications and have been used in solving multiple time-series and traffic forecasting problems.

Delbert Leon Stapley (December 11, 1896 – August 19, 1978) was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1950 to 1978.
Early life
Stapley was born in Mesa, Arizona Territory. He graduated from Mesa Union High School in 1914. As a youth, he rejected a chance at playing Major League Baseball so he could serve an LDS Church mission in the southern United States and because he didn't want to play on Sunday, the day Latter-day Saints observe as the Sabbath. Stapley remained physically active throughout his life, his favorite sport being golf.
Stapley was a missionary in the LDS Church's Southern States Mission from 1915 to 1917. After his mission, he was a U.S. marine in the First World War.
LDS Church service
Stapley had been stake president for three years before receiving a call to the apostleship on October 5, 1950. Stapley was also sustained as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve on October 5, 1950, at the church's October general conference, filling the vacancy caused by the death of George F. Richards. Stapley was notified of his new calling by church president George Albert Smith in the elevator bank of the Hotel Utah. Stapley organized the original Miami Stake in 1961. In 1969 he received the Silver Buffalo Award from the Boy Scouts of America.
Views on civil rights
A letter sent by Stapley illustrates his views on black people before they were more widely assimilated into the LDS Church. Dated January 23, 1964 and specifically stating he was not speaking for the church or in his position as an apostle, the letter urged Michigan Governor George W. Romney to back away from certain positions for civil rights, and he called the bill that became the Civil Rights Act of 1964 "vicious legislation." Romney is reported to have accelerated his engagement for civil rights shortly after he received the letter.
Death
Stapley delivered his last conference address in October 1977. The following April conference he was too ill to attend. Stapley died on August 19, 1978, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He suffered cardiac arrest at about noon while walking near his home. He was buried in the Mesa, Arizona cemetery.
At the time of his death, Stapley was the third apostle in line to the presidency of the church. His vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve was filled by James E. Faust.

Groupe Roullier is a French agribusiness conglomerate founded in 1959 in Saint-Malo, France, by Daniel Roullier. The company specializes in the production and chemical processing of nutrients and feeds for plants, animals and humans. Groupe Roullier employs more than 8,000 people, its products are sold in 131 countries, with a consolidated turn-over of €2 billion.
History
Groupe Roullier was established in 1959 in Saint-Malo, France, with the creation of a maerl grinding plant by the founder, Daniel Roullier. Maërl has been traditionally used by farmers in the Brittany region of France as a soil amendment. First under the name TIMAC, the company was focused on the industrial processing of maerl. The business later became Groupe Roullier and included new offers of fertilizers, including maerl combinations with phosphate.
Activities
Groupe Roullier is organized around seven types of activities: agrosupplies (especially fertilizers), phosphates for the animal food industry, magnesium, industrial products, consumer plant nutrition, plastics industry and the food industry. Agrosupplies are closely linked to plant nutrition through soil amendments to improve fertility, fertilizer products for plants, and root and leaf biostimulants that act on the physiological level of the plant.
In the field of agrosupplies, Groupe Roullier has four subsidiaries: Timac Agro (fertilization and animal feed supplements), Grassland Agro (primarily based in Ireland), Vitas (Portuguese market) and William Houde (Canadian market).
The transformation and production of phosphates is managed by one subsidiary, Phosphea, created in 1976. The production of magnesium is divided among three subsidiaries: Magnesitas Navarras, Magnesium do Brasil, Timab Magnesium.

Groupe Roullier has also invested in two food production companies for pastries and biscuits: Maison Colibri and Patisseries Gourmandes.
Business Development
Since its founding, the Groupe’s activities have expanded to include the distribution and marketing of its own activities, which led to investments in maritime transport and plastics processing. In 1988, Groupe Roullier launched its plastics business with Agriplas for the development of all packaging and containers for its agricultural supplies. At this time, Groupe Roullier also began developing products for animals, particularly food supplements. In the 2000s, Groupe Roullier announced a partnership with Louis Dreyfus to develop shipping activities for the transport of its own industrial products.
International Development
Groupe Roullier was founded in Brittany, France, where some of the largest accumulations of maerl and other deposits exist at the international level. In the late 1970s, the business expanded to include activities in Europe, South America and North America.
United States
In 2017, Groupe Roullier announced the expansion of its activities in the US with the acquisition of A&E Ag, LLC and Circle R Fertilize, Inc, by its subsidiary TIMAC Agro USA. As of January 18, 2017, A&E Ag is now a subsidiary of Timac AGRO USA, Inc. and operates under the title A&E Ag – Timac Agro USA. Circle R Fertilize was founded in 1983 and sells liquid and dry fertilizer products, as well as crop protection products and seeds.
Brazil
The group sold its products in 131 countries, two-thirds of its employees work outside France, and it generates more than 50% of its turnover internationally.
Research & Innovation
In 2005, Groupe Roullier created the Center for Applied Studies and Research (CERA) in Dinard, France. The center integrates an analytical laboratory and a small pilot plant to serve different subsidiaries in the improvement of industrial tools. In 2016, Groupe Roullier opened its Global Innovation Center (CMI) in Saint-Malo.
EIB Loan
In 2018, Groupe Roullier became the first company to benefit from the European Investment Bank financing for innovation in agriculture and the bioeconomy. The bank granted Groupe Roullier a EUR 50 million loan to finance its research and developed program to explore the use of microorganisms in plant and animal nutrition. The research activities will be carried out at the Roullier Global Innovation Center and the Centre for Studies and Applied Research. The new division was created to support work on bacterial flora in cattle rumen, the preservation and quality of silage, and biogas production from manure or silage.
Plant Nutrition Innovation Awards
Following the opening of the Roullier Global Innovation Center – CMI Roullier, the Group created a competition for innovation in plant nutrition. In 2018, Groupe Roullier awarded two researchers working in the field a total of EUR 120,000 with the purpose of promoting scientific collaboration and innovation to develop research activities in the fields of: plant nutrition, natural plant and marine substances, soil life and soil science, biostimulation and biocontrol as well as biotechnology and plant engineering. Each competition winner received EUR 60,000 to develop their own research project over the course of a year in collaboration with Groupe Roullier. Previous winners include: the team of professor Esquerreé-Tugayé’s from Toulouse University and the laboratory of electrophysiology at the University of Florence, Italy, in 2001, and the team from the Rothamsted Agricultural Research Center for its work on Sulphur transporters in cereals in 2005.

Rahamat Riga Mustapha (born 10 October 1981) is a Ghanaian-born Dutch professional footballer who last played as a striker for Pune F.C. in the Indian I-League.
Club career
Born in Accra, Ghana, Mustapha began his career with Eredivisie side Vitesse as a youth and senior player. While with the Vitesse youth team, Mustapha actually worked under his future head coach at Sparta Rotterdam and Pune, Mike Snoei. He also went out on loan to RBC Roosendaal while with Vitesse. He then left Vitesse in 2003 to sign for Sparta Rotterdam in the Eerste Divisie. In his two seasons at Sparta, Mustapha scored a total of 30 goals.
In 2005 Mustapha left Sparta Rotterdam and the Netherlands to sign for Levante UD of the Segunda División on a free transfer. Mustapha stayed at the club till 2008 when he signed for Bolton Wanderers of the Premier League in England as a replacement for the departing El Hadji Diouf. However, after two and half seasons of failing to make an impact at Bolton, Mustapha was released by the club in January 2011 and eventually signed back in the Segunda División for Cartagena.
Pune
On 26 October 2013, after two seasons away from competitive football action, Mustapha signed for Pune F.C. of the I-League in India as a replacement for injured striker Raúl Fabiani. The move meant that he would reunite with his former coach Mike Snoei who is the current head coach of Pune. He made his debut for his new side on 2 November 2013 in a league match against Sporting Goa at the Duler Stadium. He played the full 90 minutes for Pune as the side went down 2–0. He then scored his first goal for Pune, and his career first since the 2007–08 La Liga season, against Salgaocar on 22 November 2013 from the penalty spot in the 60th minute to lead Pune to a 1–1 draw in the league. His second goal then came in the very next match against Dempo on 27 November 2013 in which his 51st-minute strike lead Pune to another 1–1 draw.
Then, in the month of December, Mustapha managed to find the net three times. His first goal that month came on the 11th against Rangdajied United in which he found the net in the 23rd minute to give Pune a 1–0 lead which they would eventually give up and lose 3–2. He then scored his second and third goals in the very next match against United in which his brace lead Pune to a 2–1 victory and a "man of the match" award for Mustapha.
International career
Despite being born in Ghana, Mustapha has in the past represented the national youth teams of the Netherlands for over 90 times, making him one of few to have reached that mark.

is a Japanese noodle dish made with seasonal soba or udon noodles. in a hot dashi soup of or chicken meat and leeks or Welsh onions. On its own, or simply "nanban" might be used, referring to the onions in the dish.
When chicken meat is used this is called or .
Overview
Kamo nanban is one type of and is normally found on the menu of a soba restaurant. It is more expensive when compared to some other soba dishes like tempura soba and tempura seiro soba.
It has been reported that the fatty duck meat used is most delicious in the winter season, and it is also served with seasonal soba which is particularly suited to colder days.
Etymology
The use of duck and scallions is the source of the name. It is said that scallions are referred to after the Nanman, who arrived in Japan during the Edo period and enjoyed eating them to maintain their health. The bulb onion used widely in European cuisine, was difficult to come by in Japan until the Meiji period and so scallions were used instead.
There is also a view that it was called nanban due to being a new dish. In the essay literary and cultural scholar states of kamo nanban "Things of custom unusual to the past tend to be called 'nanban'".
In the Kinki region, kamo nanban is called , where "nanba" is a shifted-sound version of "nanban". Also, in Osaka, Welsh onions have been called "nanba" since the Edo period, having been a famous producer of Welsh onions, but the actual connection is unknown.
At restaurants which offer both soba and udon, may be written to differentiate from , an udon dish with the same flavourings.
History
, eaten with a hot soup based on soy sauce and flaked bonito, became widespread in the middle of the Edo period. The addition of duck and Welsh onions in the manner of kamo nanban is considered to have been started by the restaurant in the Shibakuro-chō area of Nihonbashi. Kamo nanban using about five one-inch pieces of Welsh onion, cut vertically and fried, then boiled with duck, is said to have met the tastes of the time and thrived.
Also in , a work with detail of the Mores of the closing days of the Tokugawa shogunate, Kamo nanban is introduced as "Duck with onions. A speciality of winter."
The consumption of the domestic duck in Japan came about at the end of the Meiji era, before which kamo nanban solely used wild duck.
Ingredients
Domestic duck and wild duck are used. Because natural wild duck is hard to come by, most soba restaurants use cultivated birds. The juicier thigh meat and soft breast meat are used.
In the Taishō period there were instances of rabbit meat being used. In "I am a cat", there is the expression .
For onions, long Welsh onions which suit duck are used. In some instances, they are only warmed briefly in soup before adding, but frying or roasting in sesame oil is considered to be correct. Cutting into 5 cm round slices is common.
For seasoning, chilli pepper or yuzu are used.
Instant Noodles
In 2003, the 'Acecook' Company released the first kamo nanban instant "cup noodle" as one of their large-portion "super cup" instant noodles.
In 2009, Nissin Foods's released duck stock soba version in their "don hyōei" product.
In the 9th episode of the TV drama series "Kurosagi", the kamo nanban cup noodle eaten by the main character was an original version for the show.
Related dishes

The British Bank of Madras (1795) was a bank founded in the year 1795 in British India. The bank was the eighth oldest bank in India.
The bank was eventually merged with the Bank of Madras in 1843.
History
Founding
The British Bank of Madras was the second oldest bank founded in the Madras Presidency after the Carnatic Bank and served many cities in South India.
The bank was founded and largely managed by European traders. They worked closely with the English East India Company.
Management
The bank was staffed by mostly British nationals who were drawn mainly from the East India Company.
The bank had most of its offices and branches in the Madras Presidency. The bank was headquartered in George Town in Chennai.
Final years
The bank was one of four banks that were merged to form the Bank of Madras in 1843: the Madras Bank, the Carnatic Bank, The British Bank of Madras (1795), and the Asiatic Bank (1804). The Bank of Madras is one of the precursors of the Imperial Bank of India and eventually the State Bank of India.
Legacy
The bank is notable for being the eighth oldest bank in India.

Dave Bedwell (28 August 1928, Romford, Essex, now the London Borough of Havering – 28 February 1999, Kingskerswell, Devon) was one of Great Britain's most accomplished racing cyclists in the 1950s, known as the "Iron Man" of cycling. He won four stages in the first Tour of Britain, rode for Britain in the world professional road championship in 1953 and 1956 and rode for Britain in the Tour de France.
Origins
Bedwell, who was tall, lived on the outskirts of London, in Romford, now part of Havering. His family were cyclists but Bedwell was more interested in swimming. He began cycling as a way to get to water. He bought a bike from a local dealer, Rory O'Brien, and turned to cycling instead. He rode time trials and raced on grass tracks, winning the Essex five-mile championship as an under-18 and then as a senior. He won the title three times as well as the all-London junior sprint championship at Paddington track. He said:
British cycling in Bedwell's time was in a civil war between the National Cyclists' Union and the Road Time Trials Council on one side and a newer body, the British League of Racing Cyclists, on the other. The BLRC began during the second world war to promote the massed racing on public roads that the other two organisations feared would bring police opposition to all cycling. Bedwell joined the Romford Wheelers, which was affiliated to the NCU. In its colours he rode massed races on the airfield at Stapleford Tawney but preferred the idea of racing on the road with the BLRC and formed his own club, the Romford RCC, to do it.
His Romford Wheelers clubmate, Jack Leeth, recalled: "Dave was demobbed from the RAF around 1948. He lived in the Bedwell family home in Carlton Road, Romford, a cycling household with its own fitness room. Dave already had a reputation as a great cyclist and was into healthy eating." Another local cyclist, Roger St Pierre, said: "They didn't come any tougher than this stocky man whose thighs seemed thicker than his legs were long. He effectively invented interval training for cyclists: sprinting between telephone poles, freewheeling to the next one, then sprinting again, the freewheeling stretches getting shorter and shorter. We could keep it up for, maybe, four or five sprints, but tough Dave could keep going at it for mile after mile. And yet, on other rides, Dave would plod along at such a slow pace that you'd think he would need stabilisers to stop from falling off for loss of momentum."
Racing career
Bedwell won the BLRC road championship in his first year and then took an independent, or semi-professional, licence to ride for Frejus Cycles, a continental company selling bikes in Britain. Bedwell said: "This was not so surprising as it would be nowadays. Since the League were outlawed, their titles were unofficial and there were no selections to be gained by staying amateur. The big idea of League boys was to get a professional class going."
Bedwell won London-Battle-London and Dover-London in his first years. He was chosen by the BLRC in 1951 to ride the Grand Prix de l'Humanité in France. He won.
He became a full professional in 1952, moving back to the NCU so that he could ride a new series of pro races started at Herne Hill velodrome by a journalist, Johnny Dennis, of The Bicycle. Dennis's idea was that the experience would help British riders break through on the continent. They competed every other week, individually and in pairs. Bedwell's partner was another Londoner, Derek Buttle. There were more than 20 professional riders in Britain.
Buttle and Bedwell rode for Claud Butler, a London cycle company. But money was limited and Buttle arranged sponsorship from Hercules Cycles for them, Dennis Talbot and Clive Parker. The team expanded and in 1954 it won the Tour of Britain along with seven of its daily stages. Bedwell's most spectacular stage was the last. It lasted 127 miles from Bournemouth to Alexandra Palace in north London. If Bedwell won the stage, he would move from seventh to third, behind the Frenchman Eugène Tamburlini and the British rider, Brian Robinson. The race skirted London on the North Circular Road, the northern half of the city's ring road. Bob Maitland of the BSA team and Henri Guldemont of Belgium had a lead on the field of 400 metres. Bedwell reached them in the park of Alexandra Palace, sprinted past them and collapsed on the grass from his effort.
Bedwell joined Buttle and the rest of the Hercules team when it went to Les Issambres, in south-west France, to prepare for the Tour de France of 1955. Hercules was Britain's largest professional team and it was certain that riders for the national team would be drawn from it. The team rode the early-season races along the Côte d'Azur that riders used for training. Bedwell finished second to Jacques Anquetil at Fréjus, just ahead of Jean Stablinski. The following day he outsprinted Anquetil for third place at Marseille. In the Tour, however, Bedwell left the race after three days, told he was outside the time limit when he wasn't but happy nevertheless to drop out. He said:
Only Brian Robinson and Tony Hoar of the British team completed the race, the first Britons to do so. Hercules and other sponsors pulled out of sponsorship weeks after the end of the Tour. Bedwell rode unsponsored for two years, living off prizes in Belgium.
Bicycle
Bedwell's shortness meant he rode a -inch frame, unusually small. He said:
Retirement
Bedwell moved to Paignton, Devon, and built wheels in a cycle shop owned by another former Tour de France rider, Colin Lewis. He took up canoeing and surfing. He said he missed Essex even 20 years later. He said: "There are certain things, like the countryside, the slow rivers, the cottages with their thatched roofs, whereas here the houses have big roofs and the rivers are rapid." He died on a club ride with the local Cyclists Touring Club and members of the Mid-Devon Road Club.

The International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) is a professional society for neurochemists and neuroscientists throughout the world.
History
The idea of an organization like the ISN began in the mid-1950s as scientists began to devote more attention to the discipline of neurochemistry. As the field became more popular, scientists recognized that an international association would be useful in helping to propagate research among themselves. In 1962, Jordi Folch Pi and Heinrich Waelesch proposed the formation of a Provisional Organizing Committee to such a society. The committee eventually came into being in 1963 and had an international membership composed of scientists in the field. Preliminary statutes were drafted in 1965 and finalized in 1967 as the Articles of Association of the ISN. At its creation, the society had 226 members.
The ISN began by organizing international and satellite meetings. In 1980, it began offering travel grants for young scientists to attend its meetings. Since that time, it has increased the number of awards it offers, funding travel grants as well as training programs, research in developing countries, and small, specialized medical conferences.
Mission statement
The mission of the International Society for Neurochemistry is to:
facilitate the worldwide advancement of neurochemistry and related neuroscience disciplines
foster the education and development of neurochemists, particularly of young and emerging investigators
disseminate information about neurochemistry and neurochemists' activities throughout the world
Annual meeting
The society holds a bi-annual meeting, which generally is organized in collaboration with a regional society, either the European Society for Neurochemistry, the American Society for Neurochemistry, or the Asian Pacific Society for Neurochemistry.
Publications
The official journal of the ISN is the Journal of Neurochemistry currently published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Awards
The ISN funds various efforts to improve scientists' understanding of neurochemistry. The Committee for Aid and Education in Neurochemistry (CAEN) supports research endeavours conducted by young scientists or scientists from countries which offer limited support for neurochemical research. In the past, the committee has funded proposals for a variety of purposes, including visits to other laboratories, purchase of research equipment, and participation in scientific workshops.
Awards to individuals are overseen by the Travel Grants Committee. The ISN Travel Award Program allows young scientists to attend the ISN Biennial Meeting. The Young Scientist Lectureship Awards allow up to two young scientists to attend the Biennial Meeting and present a thirty-minute lecture on a subject in their speciality.
The ISN also supports research symposia through the ISN Conference Committee (ISN-CC). The committee funds small medical conferences that focus on recent research topics and that have an international focus among their attendees. Also under the jurisdiction of the Conference Committee is the ISN Schools Initiative, which schools in different areas of the world that train neurochemists.

He won a seat at the 3rd Kings riding in a 1945 provincial by-election despite remaining in hospital recovering from his war injuries. He lost his riding in the 1947 provincial election, but returned to the provincial legislature in a 1951 election victory after which he became his party's whip and finance critic.
As a merchant, Macdonald became J. A. MacDonald & Co. Ltd.'s President and was a director for Associated Shippers, Inc. He also served on various boards and associations.
Macdonald was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada at King's riding in the 1957 general election and re-elected there in the 1958 election. Macdonald made two previous unsuccessful attempts to win a seat at King's in the 1949 and 1953 elections.
Macdonald died at his home in Cardigan, Prince Edward Island on the morning of 4 January 1961, during his term in the 24th Parliament. His wife, Margaret Mary Macdonald, succeeded him as the Member of Parliament for King's in a by-election later that year.

The Battle of Saintes was fought on 1 April 1351 during the Hundred Years' War between French and English forces. The French were besieging the town of Saint-Jean-d'Angély when an English relief force arrived. The English force was victorious, but the battle was not able to force the end of the siege of Saint-Jean-d'Angély, which fell to the French on 31 August.
Background
Upon the accession of King John II of France in August 1350, John II ignored his father's King Philip VI's recent extension to the Truce of Calais, and prepared to raise an army for a campaign against the English garrisons in Saintonge. An army of several thousand men led by Guy II de Nesle and his deputy Arnoul d'Audrehem arrived before the town of Saint-Jean-d'Angély in February 1351 and laid siege to the town.
The English garrison of around six hundred men was under pressure due to winter stores almost being exhausted. The French had surrounded the town walls, which were in disrepair and had cut off the main trade roads leading south into the English County of Gascony. The French learning of a relieving force of several hundred men, led by the Seneschal of Gascony John de Cheverston and Arnaud-Amanieu, a detachment of the French army travelled through the night of 31 March, to intercept the English force.
The English force had no intention of breaking the siege, but was instead attempting to bring a supply train to the besieged town of Saint-Jean-d'Angély.
Battle
After travelling through the night, de Nesle intercepted the English force about three miles outside the town of Saintes. Upon being intercepted the English dismounted, as was common practice at that time, formed up a line of battle and had their horses led to the rear. Guy de Nesle, also ordered most of his forces to dismount, except for small bodies of cavalry on each wing, the French then deployed along a stretch of high ground.
The battle was a short encounter that resulted in the French being routed. A separate English force of several hundred men from the nearby English garrisons of Taillebourg and Tonnay-Charente assaulted the French forces at their rear. Over six hundred French knights were killed or captured. Both Guy II de Nesle and his deputy Arnoul d’Audrehem were captured and paid heavy ransoms for their release.
Aftermath
Although the English were victorious, Cheverston was unable to break through to Saint-Jean-d'Angély. A small English force, led by the commander of the Taillebourg garrison was able to resupply the garrison at Saint-Jean-d'Angély. Cheverston withdrew to Bordeaux and John II reinforced
the army around Saint-Jean-d'Angély, which fell to the French on 31 August.

Love In Bright Landscapes is an anthology by Australian folk rock group, The Triffids, which was released in 1986. The original LP had ten tracks compiled from their album, EP and single releases in the period from 1983 to 1985, during which time the group were resident in Perth, Sydney and London. Three additional tracks from the same sources were included on the later CD version of the album.
All the tracks were written by lead singer and rhythm guitarist, David McComb; with the exception of "Raining Pleasure" which was co-written with James Paterson, and "You Don't Miss Your Water" which was written by William Bell. All tracks were arranged and produced by The Triffids. The album was first released in 1986 by Hot Records, and by White Records Label a subsidiary of Mushroom Records. Track 4, "Hell of a Summer", is misspelt on the vinyl LP version as "Hello of a Summer".
In January 2008 filming of The Triffids reunion concert at the Sydney Festival for a biopic occurred. In early 2009 Danielle Karalus, film producer and director, and Jonathan Alley, radio station 3RRR broadcaster, proposed a documentary film, Love in Bright Landscapes: The Story of David McComb of The Triffids, which was in development after the tenth anniversary of David McComb's death.
Alley, as a co-producer of the project, organised a tribute show, Deep in a Dream: An Evening with the Songs of David McComb, which was recorded and issued on CD later in 2009 to raise funds for the film. Performers at the gig, held at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne, included an expanded version of The Blackeyed Susans, another band founded by David McComb, which were assisted by former The Triffids' members Graham Lee and Robert McComb.
Love in Bright Landscapes: The Story of David McComb of The Triffids, premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival on 13 August 2021, with its first cinema release on 9 September in Perth.

Jürgen Rottmann (born October 8, 1941) is a Chilean ornithologist. He is a founding member of the Chilean Committee for the Defence of Flora and Fauna and founder and past president of the Chilean Union of Ornithologists. He is the director of the Raptor Rehabilitation Center located at his own farm in Talagante and director of the Gaviotin Chico Sustainability Foundation.
Early life and career
Born in Santiago in 1941, Jurgen Rottmann is the son of the German immigrants Kurt Rottmann and Greta Sylvester. The middle sibling of two sisters: Katarina and Veronica Rottmann, he grew up in Las Condes when it was a rural area, now a borough of Santiago close to the Cordillera de los Andes. Married to Rebeca Chavez, his lifelong partner, with whom he has two daughters and two sons. Jürgen Rottmann showed marked interest in nature from a young age and studied veterinary sciences at University of Chile as the only option open to him to become a naturalist in Chile in the 1960s. In 1972 he became the director of the National Forest Corporation. Soon after assuming the directorship, he published the first list of endangered birds in Chile. In 1978 he extended the list to mammals. The revised list used as a starting point the report he presented at the North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference in 1973.
Author of wildlife books
Jürgen Rottmann is the author and collaboration of numerous wildlife publications including a 1986 book about Chilean birds titled "Aves de Chile", where he a collaborated with the photographer Thomas Daskam. He also authored a Chilean wildlife series published in 1995. In 1989, 300 copies of his book Bosques de Chile were donated to the Biblioteca Nacional de Chile. The book and its detailed description of the Chilean forest was the result of extensive travel to remote locations in Chile. His 1990 bilingual book The Chilean Altiplano in collaboration with the wildlife photographer Nicolás Piwonka, was also donated to the Chilean National Library. Earnings from sales of the book were donated to the World Wide Fund for Nature.
Television and popular culture
Jürgen Rottmann was part of the team of the nature documentary La Tierra en que Vivimos , made in Chile by the Televisión Nacional de Chile shown in the 1980s. Also during the eighties, the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio published a popular Sunday column titled "Chile: cosas de mirar" with text by Jürgen Rottmann and photography by his friend Thomas Daskam. The National Geographic Magazine called Jürgen Rottmann "the David Attenborough of Chile" in a featured article about is conservation efforts as the Director of the Gaviotin Chico Sustainability Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to the preservation of the tiny desert bird called Gaviotin Chico or Peruvian Tern whose habitat is the coastline from northern Chile to Peru where the Atacama Desert meets the Humboldt Current at the Pacific Ocean.

The 10th Cavalry Brigade () was a Polish military unit in World War II. It was the only fully operational Polish motorized infantry unit during the Invasion of Poland, as Warsaw Armoured Motorized Brigade was not completed by September 1, 1939.
Commanded by Colonel, later General Stanisław Maczek, it is considered one of few Polish World War II military units (brigade size or larger) not to have been decisively defeated in 1939. Another notable large unit was General Franciszek Kleeberg's Independent Operational Group Polesie.
Organized in 1937
The unit was organized in February 1937, partly as an experiment. It was to be a hybrid between a standard motorized infantry brigade and the French concept of Division legere. As Polish cavalry generals still had some doubts about the value of mechanized forces, there was some opposition against reforming standard cavalry units into motorized units. Testing of the new unit was held in a specially created training ground near Kielce, as well as in the Armoured Units Training School. The brigade was conceived as an emergency unit in the Commander-in-Chief's reserve. Its task was to screen the areas of concentration of Polish troops, to close gaps made by enemy forces in Polish lines and to fight enemy mechanized units.
1939 exercise
The Brigade's first offensive exercise, in 1939, was considered a failure. The Brigade had inadequate anti-tank ordnance to counter potential enemy armoured units. The Brigade was also thought insufficiently versatile, especially compared with a standard cavalry unit, which had much better off-road capabilities and speed. Because of that, several structural changes were introduced which would later be copied during the formation of the Warsaw Armoured Cavalry Brigade.
The 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade's commanding officer was Colonel Stanisław Maczek, and his chief of staff was Major Franciszek Skibiński. Though the Brigade was fully motorized, it was still officially called the "10th Cavalry Brigade"; however, most print sources refer to it as "Motorized" to distinguish it from its predecessor.
Role during invasion of Poland
During the Invasion of Poland in September 1939, the brigade was attached to the Kraków Army defending Lesser Poland and Silesia. Equipped with only light tanks and tankettes and without a battalion ("dywizjon") of heavy artillery attached to it, which left the unit with only 8 heavier cannons, it went into battle during the first day of the German invasion. After the Battle of Jordanów Maczek's unit faced the entire German XVIII Corps of General Eugen Beyer and successfully shielded the southern flank of the Polish forces along the Beskids. Supported by several battalions of Border Guards and National Defense forces, the Polish motorized unit fought against two Panzer divisions (4th Light Division under von Hubicki and the 2nd Panzer Division under Veiel), as well as the 3rd Mountain Division under Eduard Dietl.
For five days Maczek's brigade effectively slowed the German advance. Despite numerical and technical superiority, the German units' daily gain was no more than 10 kilometres. Polish soldiers took advantage of difficult, mountainous terrain, stopping German attacks and occasionally counter-attacking. However, after the front of the Kraków Army was broken to the north of brigade's position, it was pulled out from the front line. The brigade then fought as a screening unit, defending the bridges and fords in Lesser Poland, until it arrived in Lwów and joined the city's defenders. The unit was to be formed into a mobile reserve during the battle for Lwów to facilitate the withdrawal of other Polish units towards the Romanian Bridgehead. However, the plan was made obsolete by the invasion of Poland by the Soviet Union on September 17. After two days, Edward Rydz-Śmigły, Marshal of Poland ordered the brigade to cross the Hungarian border.
Colonel Maczek's brigade was interned in Hungary. The unit lost about half of its men, but was never defeated in open combat, gaining even the enemy's respect. The Germans called the 10th Cavalry Brigade "Die Schwarze Brigade" – "The Black Brigade", because of the black jackets worn by the Polish mechanized troops.
In his book Invincible Black Brigade: Polish 10th Cavalry Brigade 1939, the author Jerzy Majka states that the black leather jackets were worn only by officers and NCOs. They were also worn by motorcycle troops and armour crewman - certainly enough black leather to acquire the nickname "The Black Brigade".
Fighting in France
The unit's history did not, however, end in 1939. With the tacit support of Hungarians, most of its soldiers managed to reach France to join the Polish Army led by General Sikorski. They fought in France in 1940 as the renamed 10th Armoured Cavalry Brigade. During the Fall of France in June 1940 the veterans of "The Black Brigade" were evacuated to Great Britain where they became the core of the Polish 1st Armoured Division formed in February 1942.
Order of battle
In Popular Culture
A detailed account of the brigade and its actions is a major part of the historical fiction novel A Witness to Gallantry: An American Spy in Poland 1939.

Fred Mendelsohn (May 16, 1917 – April 28, 2000) was an American music executive. The president of Savoy Records for 42 years, he was the first man to ever record, promote and market black gospel music as a national company. His dedication and contributions built the historic foundation for the black gospel music industry.
Many of today's major gospel artists started on Savoy under the leadership of Mendelsohn. As a talent scout for the label, he discovered artists such as Nappy Brown, C. J. Johnson, and James Cleveland, and promoted Cleveland with many background church choirs. In doing this he was responsible for building the choir market.
Mendelsohn was responsible for such historic acts as The Caravans featuring Albertina Walker, Inez Andrews, Shirley Caesar, Dorothy Norwood, Delores Washington, The Barrett Sisters, Dorothy Love Coates & The Gospel Harmonettes and Clara Ward.
As a songwriter, he co-wrote, with Rose Marie McCoy, Brown's 1955 hit single "Don't Be Angry".

Palenque is a city and municipality in the Mexican state of Chiapas in southern Mexico. The city was named almost 200 years before the nearby Mayan ruins were discovered in the 18th century. The area has a significant indigenous population, mostly of the Ch'ol people, a Mayan descendant. The city is the only urban area in a municipality of over 600 communities, and is surrounded by rainforest. Deforestation has had dramatic effects on the local environment, with howler monkeys occasionally seen in the city as they seek food. While most of the municipality's population is economically marginalized, working in agriculture, the Palenque archeological site is one of the most important tourist attractions for the area and the state of Chiapas. It is the poorest major city in the state of Chiapas.
The town and municipality
Palenque refers to both the modern city and the municipality for which it is the local governing authority.
As of 2010, the municipality had a population of 110,918.
As of 2010, the city of Palenque had a population of 42,947, up from 37,301 in 2005. Other than the city of Palenque, the municipality had 950 localities. The largest are (with 2010 populations in parentheses) were: Río Chancalá (2,156), Doctor Samuel León Brindis (1,320), Agua Blanca Serranía (1,263), Arimatea (1,251), and Profresor Roberto Barrios (1,173), classified as rural.
The city of Palenque is the only urban area of the municipality which covers a territory of 2,888 km2. The city was founded in 1567 by Pedro Lorenzo. In 1573, the community was presented with three bells as a symbol of its foundation. Of the three one survives, which is in the main church of the city. Although it is a city, it is surrounded by jungle vegetation only 60 meters above sea level, which contains many of Chiapas’ emblematic species such as the howler monkey. These monkeys have been seen within the city of Palenque, since the lack of range forces them to seek food near human settlements. Some become disoriented and are hit by cars. One creature so injured was taken to the Eco Parque Aluxes for medical treatment.
The municipality borders the municipalities of Catazajá, La Libertad, Ocosingo, Chilán and Salto de Agua. It also borders the state of Tabasco and Guatemala to the east. Aside from the municipal seat, other important communities include Río Chancala, Bajadas Grandes. Agua Blanca Serranía, Dr. Samuel León Brindis, Nueva Esperanza Primera Sección, Lázaro Cárdenas, Emilio Rabasa and El Naranjo. The city as an altitude of sixty meters above sea level.
As of 2005, the municipality has 20,222 inhabited residences, with about 80% the property of the residents. Average number of residents per unit is 4.84, under the regional average of 5.32 and on par with the state average. About 37% of these residences have dirt floors, 55% with cement floors and less than 7% with wood, mosaic or other flooring. Over 52% of units have wood walls, with about 42% made of block. About 56% of units have asbestos or metallic roofs, with just under 19% having a concrete slab for a roof. 86.37% of residences have electricity, 75.81% have running water, and 56.77 have sewerage systems. These are above region average and on par with the state average.
The municipality has 28 post offices and a telegraph office. There are also telephone centers for those who lack home service. The municipality contains 569.99 km of roadway, with mostly rural roads (137.46 km) and state highways (149.20 km). The municipality has 14.8% of the Selva region's highways. The municipality is reached by Highway 199 from San Cristóbal and Highway 186 from Escárcega.
From 1990 to 2000, the population grew from 63,209 to 85,464. The rate of population growth is 3.12%, higher than that of the region and state at 2.32 and 2.05 respectively. It is predicted to double within 25 years. About 35% live in urban areas with the rest dispersed in 679 rural communities, or over 99% of all of the municipality's communities. Its population density is 76 per km2, well above the regional average of 29/km2 and state average of 52/km2. However, the birth rate is 3.53 per woman of reproductive age versus 4.26 for the region and about average for the state.
As of 2000, the rate of illiteracy was 23.77%, down from 31.43% in 1990. The state average is 22.91%. For those over the age of 15, 27.66% have not finished primary school. 15.73% have only finished primary school, and 31.5% have studied beyond this level.
The city and municipality area have a large Ch'ol indigenous population. As of 2005, there were 37,032 people who spoke an indigenous language, out of a total population of 85,464. Statically 40.60% of the population is indigenous compared to just under 25% for the state and just under 65% for the region. The predominant ethnicity is Ch’ol. Just over 20% of indigenous residents do not speak Spanish. The municipality sponsors an annual Festival Mundo Maya (Mayan World Festival) in April focusing on the culture, folklore, crafts, food and clothing of the indigenous people descended from the Mayas. The event attracts participants from Tabasco, Yucatán, Campeche and parts of Puebla.
About 53% profess the Catholic faith, with 25.67 Protestant, 5.44 Evangelical and 14.83% professing no religion. The municipality's Protestant and Evangelical percentages are higher than that of the state in general. The most important religious celebrations are feast of Saint Dominic and Francis of Assisi . Each year, the city of Palenque sponsors a passion play, selecting one young man from the area to play Jesus. The play mirrors the 14 Stations of the Cross, ending with the crucifixion. The event begins at the parish church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán.
History
The name Palenque comes from Spanish and means “wood stake fence.” It is a literal translation of the Ch’ol word “otulún” which means fenced or fortified place. The modern town was founded by Friar Pedro Lorenzo near the ruins of the same name in 1567. It was founded to congregate the Ch’ol indigenous families that were dispersed in this part of the Lacadon rainforest. In 1768, the state of Chiapas was divided into “alcaldía mayores” with Palenque belonging to that of Ciudad Real (San Cristóbal de las Casas). In 1813, the settlement was officially declared a town. In 1821, a road between Bachajon and Palenque was constructed, and the town's first school was established in 1828. In 1847, the area became part of the department of Tila. Two year later it was made into its own department. The annual fair of Santo Domingo (Saint Dominic) was authorized in 1877. In 1883, the state was reorganized into twelve departments with Palenque as head of one of them. A railroad connecting the town with the Gulf of Mexico was constructed at this time, with the Pakalna station, which still exists. The municipality system was created in the state in 1915, with Palenque head of its own municipality. The first airfield was established in 1931 and mail and telegraph arrived in 1941. In 1972 it was declared a city by the governor of the state of Chiapas. The Casa de Cultura was founded in 1980 with the main road paved in 1990. The Cecytec technical college was founded in 1994. The modern airport, Palenque International Airport, was created in 1997. There is a proposal to build a station, Palenque railway station, here, along the route of the Tren Maya.
The ancient Mayan site of Palenque was unknown to the Spanish when they founded the town. Since its discovery in 1740 by Father Antonio Solís, it has been culturally and economically important to the city and municipality. The ruins were visited in 1773 by Ramon Ordóñez de Aguilar representing the province of Guatemala, to which Chiapas belonged. The ruins were visited by English explorer Thomas McKay in 1822. The tomb of Pakal was discovered by Alberto Ruz Lhuillier in 1951. The Palenque site museum was established in 1958. Today, the site is one of the most important tourism attractions in Chiapas.
Geography
Most of the municipality lies on the plains that lead north to the Gulf of Mexico with small portions located in the mountains called the Montañas del Oriente and the Montañas del Norte. It is part of the Selva region of the state, and borders the Lacandon Jungle. Its climate is hot and humid with rain year round. It has mostly tropical rainforest vegetation. Much of this has been over exploited with many forest areas devastated. Among its rivers are the Usumacinta, with tributaries Chamacax, Chancalá, Chocoljaito along with Bascán, Michol, San Simón and Trapiche. There is one lake called Lago Metzaboc.
The municipality is home to the Palenque National Park and the Metzabok Flora and Fauna Protection Area. The first was established in 1981, and covers the areas were the Montañas del Norte meet the coastal plain, an area of 1771.95 hectares. It was established to conserve perennial rainforest which is in endangered, as well as a number of endangered species. The park surrounds the archeological site of Palenque, and both the site and the park are listed together as a World Heritage Site. It was established in 1981. The national park is home to a number of emblematic Chiapan species including the howler monkey, which is endangered due to deforestation. Metzabok was established in 1996 in the Montañas de Oriente extending from Palenque into neighboring Ocosingo. It has an area of 3337.8 hectares of highly diverse and fragile ecosystems of both perennial and deciduous rainforest as well as some mesophyll forest.
Economy and tourism
The municipality is considered to be highly marginalized economically. Of those economically active, 51.86% are employed in farming and livestock. 49.26% of those in this sector do not receive wages, with only half a percent receiving more than five payments per year. 10.36% are employed in construction and industry, of which just under 6% do not receive payment. 35.62% are employed in commerce and services including tourism. This is above the regional average and about equal to the state average. About 6.5% of these workers do not receive any wages.
The city of Palenque was designated as a "Pueblo Mágico" (magical town) in 2015. The main tourist attraction is the archeological site of Palenque, located 7 km from the city. This site is one of the most important in the state, as it is known internationally. The site is part of the Maya Route, which also includes sites such as Yaxchilan and Bonampak all in the Lacandon Jungle . Tourism infrastructure includes 67 hotels with just under 2,000 rooms, almost all location in the city of Palenque. Palenque is one of the sites in Mexico which receives large numbers of visitors for the spring equinox, along with Teotihuacan, and Chichén Itzá. Each year, the municipality, along with other government agencies, put in place extra security measures during Holy Week, as this is a major vacation period in Mexico, bringing large numbers of visitors to the area. Extra safeguards are enacted to protect the ruins at the Palenque site.
The ancient city was a major one of the Mayan civilization, which developed during the Classic period. The main attractions of the site include the Temple of the Inscriptions and the Palace. The site is noted for the size of its buildings as well as number and large number of glyph inscriptions. It is the site of the tomb of King Pakal, discovered in the 1950s, one of the most important Mayan discoveries of the 20th century. The largest and most complex structure is the Palace with its four-story tower. Other important structures include Temple of the Cross, Temple of the Foliated Cross and the Temple of the Sun. The site has a museum in the National Park area in a modern building, with an addition made in 1995. There are two main halls and a temporary one. It focuses on the ancient city's importance in Mayan world and the history of its excavation, including work as recent as the mid 1990s.
Lesser known are a number of ecotourism sites. One of the most recent ecotourism parks to be created include the “Ecoparque los Aluxes” near the city of Palenque. It is a conservation center with facilities to rescue wildlife. It also has natural enclosures containing species such as jaguars, ocelots, bobcats, red and green macaws, spider monkeys, parrots, turtles and various bird species. The facility has relations with other similar ecotourism parks such as Xcaret Park. One of the institution's goals is to release 50 macaws per year into the surrounding Palenque National Park. The Palenque National Park surrounds the archeological site of the same name and includes dense tropical rainforest and streams with blue waters. Together, they have been classified as a World Heritage Site. Near the park are two major waterfalls: Agua Azul and Misol Há. The park has hiking trails to view the various vegetation, along with streams and small waterfalls. The rainforest contains numerous birds and howler monkeys.

The 1999 Starrcade was the 17th annual Starrcade professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on December 19, 1999, from the MCI Center in Washington, D.C.
The main event was between Bret Hart and Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The match was notable for a concussion Hart sustained, which ultimately led to his retirement in 2000. After Hart won the title at the Mayhem event, Goldberg challenged Hart to a match for the title. The match ended in a screwjob, with Goldberg losing unfairly. Soon after the event, Hart formed and led a new incarnation of the New World Order group. Other matches included a ladder match between Chris Benoit and Jeff Jarrett for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, a Powerbomb match between Sid Vicious and Kevin Nash, and Sting against The Total Package. In 2015, all WCW pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network.
Storylines
The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The main match of Starrcade was between Bret Hart and Goldberg. At Mayhem, the previous pay-per-view event, Hart won a tournament to become the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Afterwards, Goldberg challenged Hart to a match at Starrcade for the title. They showed respect for each other, and won the WCW World Tag Team Championship together. They lost the title one week later to The Outsiders.
In September, Eric Bischoff was relieved of his position as the president of World Championship Wrestling. Vince Russo, who previously worked for the World Wrestling Federation, was hired as a writer, and made many changes to the programming. He was portrayed on-screen as "The Powers That Be", a mysterious, unseen power source that controlled the promotion. The programming was changed in style, with more time devoted to non-wrestling segments, and more coherent storylines. Russo has received criticism for some of his contributions, however, and Bischoff has described Russo's storylines as dark and unsophisticated.
Event
The first match was between The Mamalukes (Big Vito and Johnny the Bull) and the team of Disco Inferno and Lash LeRoux. The match started with Big Vito and Johnny the Bull dominating LeRoux and Inferno by double-teaming. This continued until Big Vito missed a splash. Inferno and LeRoux fought back until Inferno accidentally performed a Last Dance on LeRoux. Big Vito performed a spinning lifting DDT on LeRoux, and pinned him to win the match.
The second match was between Madusa and Evan Karagias (accompanied by Spice) for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. The match started back and forth until Karagias performed a hangman and a flying clothesline to the outside. Spice distracted Karagias, and performed a low blow. Madusa then pinned Karagias with a bridging German suplex to win the match and the title.
The third match was between Meng and Norman Smiley for the WCW Hardcore Championship. The match started with Meng dominating Smiley as they fought backstage. Fit Finlay and Brian Knobs then attacked Meng. Finlay hit Meng with a lead pipe, and Smiley pinned him to win the match, and retain the title.
The fourth match was between The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Asya) and the team of Jim Duggan and The Varsity Club. Saturn and Malenko had the advantage over Duggan for most of the match. This continued until the Varsity Club came in, and fought off The Revolution. However, they then turned on Duggan, and beat him down. They performed a low blow to Duggan, and Douglas pinned him to win the match. As a result of losing, Duggan had to renounce his United States citizenship.
The fifth match was between Vampiro (accompanied by The Misfits) and Steve Williams. The match started back and forth until Williams sent Vampiro off the top turnbuckle. The Misfits came in, and Williams fought them off. Williams continued to attack Vampiro, and the referee disqualified him after Williams refused to stop. Vampiro won the match, and earned a match with Oklahoma, which started immediately after. Oklahoma had the advantage after Williams' attacks. Vampiro fought back with an ura-nage, and beat him down with The Misfits. Vampiro pinned him after a Nail in the Coffin to win the match.
The seventh match featured the Creative Control tag team and Curt Hennig against Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) and Midnight. Stevie Ray chose to not wrestle in the match. The match went back and forth until Booker T was attacked outside the ring. Creative Control and Hennig had the advantage. After Creative Control missed a diving elbow drop, Booker T fought back with a Harlem Sidekick and a spinebuster. Hennig came in, and hit Booker T with brass knuckles. Creative Control then pinned Booker T to win the match.
The eighth match was a Bunkhouse Brawl between Dustin Rhodes and Jeff Jarrett. The match started backstage, and went back and forth with the use of a wheelbarrow. They fought to the ring, and Rhodes gained the advantage with the use of a cow bell, and threw powder at Jarrett. Jarrett fought back with a low blow, and applied the sleeper hold. Rhodes fought out with a belly to back suplex, and they fought up the entrance ramp. Curt Hennig attempted to interfere, but Rhodes beat him down. The distraction allowed Jarrett to perform a guitar shot, and pin Rhodes to win the match.
The ninth match was a Crowbar on a Pole match between Diamond Dallas Page and David Flair. Before the match, Flair attacked Page from behind with his own crowbar, and Page was knocked down outside the ring. Page returned, and the match started with Flair having the advantage. Flair performed several attacks, and applied the figure four leglock. Flair retrieved the crowbar, and attempted to use it. Page avoided it, and pinned Flair after a Diamond Cutter to win the match.
The tenth match was between The Total Package and Sting (accompanied by Elizabeth). Prior to the match, Sting was shown handing Elizabeth a can of what he said was spray, and told her to use it if she had to. The Total Package attacked Sting as he entered the ring, and continued to have the advantage. Elizabeth climbed onto the apron, and this allowed Sting to fight back. After they knocked down each other with a clothesline, Elizabeth came into the ring, and revealed her alliance with The Total Package by attempting to use the spray on Sting. Unfortunately for her, it was actually a can of silly string, revealing that Sting anticipated being betrayed by his confidante (a common occurrence in Sting's career). Sting performed a Stinger splash to The Total Package, and attempted to apply the Scorpion Deathlock. Elizabeth hit Sting with a baseball bat, and Sting won the match by disqualification. After the match, The Total Package attacked Sting's right arm with a steel chair and the bat.
The eleventh match was a Powerbomb match between Sid Vicious and Kevin Nash. Vicious gained the advantage after attacking Nash outside the ring with the use of a steel chair and the guard rail. Vicious continued with a leg drop and a scoop slam. Vicious sent Nash into the referee, knocking him down, and performed a powerbomb on Nash. Jeff Jarrett came down, and hit Vicious with a guitar. Nash attempted a powerbomb, but failed due to the pain in his back. The referee revived, and Nash told him he performed a powerbomb on Vicious. The referee believed Nash, and awarded him the victory.
The twelfth match was a ladder match between Chris Benoit and Jeff Jarrett for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. Benoit was awarded the title earlier at the event due to his scheduled opponent, Scott Hall, suffered an injury and was unable to compete, and issued an open challenge. The match started back and forth. They sent each other into the ladder, and stopped each other from climbing the ladder by tipping it. As Benoit climbed the ladder, Jarrett sent him down with a missile dropkick to the ladder. Benoit then sent the ladder into Jarrett with a dropkick, and performed a diving headbutt from the top of the ladder. Benoit climbed the ladder, and retrieved the belt to win the match, and retain the title.
The main event was a No Disqualification match between Bret Hart and Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. They knocked down several referees throughout the match. The match started with Goldberg having the advantage after a gorilla press powerslam. Goldberg attacked Hart outside the ring using the guard rail. Back in the ring, Goldberg missed a spear, and hit the turnbuckle. Hart fought back, and applied the ringpost figure four leglock. Hart then targeted the left leg of Goldberg, and applied the figure four leglock. Hart accidentally knocked down the referee, and Goldberg fought back with a mule kick and a spear. With the referee down, Roddy Piper came down to officiate. Hart attacked the leg of Goldberg, and applied the Sharpshooter. Piper ended the match without Goldberg submitting and awarded Hart the victory. Hart retained the title and appeared confused about the situation. The ending resembled the Montreal Screwjob.
Aftermath
Due to the controversial ending to the match between Bret Hart and Goldberg at Starrcade, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship was vacated the following night on WCW Monday Nitro. Hart and Goldberg faced each other later on the show, where Hart regained the title with the help of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. Hart, Hall, Nash, and Jeff Jarrett formed a new incarnation of the New World Order (nWo) group, named nWo 2000. The mule kick Goldberg performed to Hart during their match at Starrcade gave Hart a severe concussion. Unaware of the severity of the injury, Hart continued to compete in matches in the days following. Hart was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, and relinquished the title on January 16. nWo 2000 disbanded soon after, and was the last incarnation of the nWo in the promotion. Later that year, Hart retired from professional wrestling.
In April, Eric Bischoff returned to the promotion in a position that involved the managing and overseeing of the creative process. Bischoff worked with Vince Russo, and two new groups were created to feud with each other: the Millionaire's Club, which included older wrestlers, and the New Blood, with younger wrestlers. The value of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship had decreased over the past years, thanks in part to the hotshot booking of Bischoff and Russo, and Bischoff devised a storyline that began at the Bash at the Beach event to restore its value. At the event, according to Bischoff, Russo acted on his own and ruined Bischoff's plan by cutting a worked shoot promo on Hulk Hogan. Russo contends that Bischoff and Hogan were aware of the plan and agreed to it ahead of time. Bischoff left the promotion soon after due to problems he had with Russo.
Reception
In 2016, Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 4.0 [Poor], stating, "The show ended with two strong matches and started with a decent one. Most of the other things on the card are either not very good, or flat out dire. You could tell Vince Russo was around just by looking at some of the overbooked, screwy finishes. The Powerbomb Match is especially atrocious and kind of epitomizes how dumb WCW was at the time."
In 2020, Eric Bischoff called Starrcade 1999 "the absolute worst pay-per-view from opening bell to closing bell that I’ve ever seen in my life."

In graph theory, a book embedding is a generalization of planar embedding of a graph to embeddings in a book, a collection of half-planes all having the same line as their boundary. Usually, the vertices of the graph are required to lie on this boundary line, called the spine, and the edges are required to stay within a single half-plane. The book thickness of a graph is the smallest possible number of half-planes for any book embedding of the graph. Book thickness is also called pagenumber, stacknumber or fixed outerthickness. Book embeddings have also been used to define several other graph invariants including the pagewidth and book crossing number.
Every graph with vertices has book thickness at most , and this formula gives the exact book thickness for complete graphs. The graphs with book thickness one are the outerplanar graphs. The graphs with book thickness at most two are the subhamiltonian graphs, which are always planar; more generally, every planar graph has book thickness at most four. All minor-closed graph families, and in particular the graphs with bounded treewidth or bounded genus, also have bounded book thickness. It is NP-hard to determine the exact book thickness of a given graph, with or without knowing a fixed vertex ordering along the spine of the book. Testing the existence of a three-page book embedding of a graph, given a fixed ordering of the vertices along the spine of the embedding, has unknown computational complexity: it is neither known to be solvable in polynomial time nor known to be NP-hard.
One of the original motivations for studying book embeddings involved applications in VLSI design, in which the vertices of a book embedding represent components of a circuit and the wires represent connections between them. Book embedding also has applications in graph drawing, where two of the standard visualization styles for graphs, arc diagrams and circular layouts, can be constructed using book embeddings.
In transportation planning, the different sources and destinations of foot and vehicle traffic that meet and interact at a traffic light can be modeled mathematically as the vertices of a graph, with edges connecting different source-destination pairs. A book embedding of this graph can be used to design a schedule that lets all the traffic move across the intersection with as few signal phases as possible. In bioinformatics problems involving the folding structure of RNA, single-page book embeddings represent classical forms of nucleic acid secondary structure, and two-page book embeddings represent pseudoknots. Other applications of book embeddings include abstract algebra and knot theory.
History
The notion of a book, as a topological space, was defined by C. A. Persinger and Gail Atneosen in the 1960s. As part of this work, Atneosen already considered embeddings of graphs in books. The embeddings he studied used the same definition as embeddings of graphs into any other topological space: vertices are represented by distinct points, edges are represented by curves, and the only way that two edges can intersect is for them to meet at a common endpoint.
In the early 1970s, Paul C. Kainen and L. Taylor Ollmann developed a more restricted type of embedding that came to be used in most subsequent research. In their formulation, the graph's vertices must be placed along the spine of the book, and each edge must lie in a single page.
Important milestones in the later development of book embeddings include the proof by Mihalis Yannakakis in the late 1980s that planar graphs have book thickness at most four, and the discovery in the late 1990s of close connections between book embeddings and bioinformatics.
Definitions
A book is a particular kind of topological space, also called a fan of half-planes. It consists of a single line , called the spine or back of the book, together with a collection of one or more half-planes, called the pages or leaves of the book, each having the spine as its boundary. Books with a finite number of pages can be embedded into three-dimensional space, for instance by choosing to be the -axis of a Cartesian coordinate system and choosing the pages to be the half-planes whose dihedral angle with respect to the -plane is an integer multiple of .
A book drawing of a finite graph onto a book is a drawing of on such that every vertex of is drawn as a point on the spine of , and every edge of is drawn as a curve that lies within a single page of . The -page book crossing number of is the minimum number of crossings in a -page book drawing.
A book embedding of onto is a book drawing that forms a graph embedding of into . That is, it is a book drawing of on that does not have any edge crossings.
Every finite graph has a book embedding onto a book with a large enough number of pages. For instance, it is always possible to embed each edge of the graph on its own separate page.
The book thickness, pagenumber, or stack number of is the minimum number of pages required for a book embedding of .
Another parameter that measures the quality of a book embedding, beyond its number of pages, is its pagewidth. This is defined analogously to cutwidth as the maximum number of edges that can be crossed by a ray perpendicular to the spine within a single page. Equivalently (for book embeddings in which each edge is drawn as a monotonic curve), it is the maximum size of a subset of edges within a single page such that the intervals defined on the spine by pairs of endpoints of the edges all intersect each other.
It is crucial for these definitions that edges are only allowed to stay within a single page of the book. As Atneosen already observed, if edges may instead pass from one page to another across the spine of the book, then every graph may be embedded into a three-page book. For such a three-page topological book embedding in which spine crossings are allowed, every graph can be embedded with at most a logarithmic number of spine crossings per edge, and some graphs need this many spine crossings.
Specific graphs
As shown in the first figure, the book thickness of the complete graph is three: as a non-planar graph its book thickness is greater than two, but a book embedding with three pages exists. More generally, the book thickness of every complete graph with vertices is exactly . This result also gives an upper bound on the maximum possible book thickness of any -vertex graph.
The two-page crossing number of the complete graph is
matching a still-unproven conjecture of Anthony Hill on what the unrestricted crossing number of this graph should be. That is, if Hill's conjecture is correct, then the drawing of this graph that minimizes the number of crossings is a two-page drawing.
The book thickness of the complete bipartite graph is at most . To construct a drawing with this book thickness, for each vertex on the smaller side of the bipartition, one can place the edges incident with that vertex on their own page. This bound is not always tight; for instance, has book thickness three, not four. However, when the two sides of the graph are very unbalanced, with , the book thickness of is exactly .
For the Turán graph (a complete multipartite graph formed from independent sets of vertices per independent set, with an edge between every two vertices from different independent sets) the book thickness is sandwiched between
and when is odd the upper bound can be improved to
The book thickness of binary de Bruijn graphs, shuffle-exchange graphs, and cube-connected cycles (when these graphs are large enough to be nonplanar) is exactly three.
Properties
Planarity and outerplanarity
The book thickness of a given graph is at most one if and only if is an outerplanar graph. An outerplanar graph is a graph that has a planar embedding in which all vertices belong to the outer face of the embedding. For such a graph, placing the vertices in the same order along the spine as they appear in the outer face provides a one-page book embedding of the given graph. (An articulation point of the graph will necessarily appear more than once in the cyclic ordering of vertices around the outer face, but only one of those copies should be included in the book embedding.) Conversely, a one-page book embedding is automatically an outerplanar embedding. For, if a graph is embedded on a single page, and another half-plane is attached to the spine to extend its page to a complete plane, then the outer face of the embedding includes the entire added half-plane, and all vertices lie on this outer face.
Every two-page book embedding is a special case of a planar embedding, because the union of two pages of a book is a space topologically equivalent to the whole plane. Therefore, every graph with book thickness two is automatically a planar graph. More precisely, the book thickness of a graph is at most two if and only if is a subgraph of a planar graph that has a Hamiltonian cycle. If a graph is given a two-page embedding, it can be augmented to a planar Hamiltonian graph by adding (into any page) extra edges between any two consecutive vertices along the spine that are not already adjacent, and between the first and last spine vertices. The Goldner–Harary graph provides an example of a planar graph that does not have book thickness two: it is a maximal planar graph, so it is not possible to add any edges to it while preserving planarity, and it does not have a Hamiltonian cycle. Because of this characterization by Hamiltonian cycles, graphs that have two-page book embeddings are also known as subhamiltonian graphs.
All planar graphs whose maximum degree is at most four have book thickness at most two. Planar 3-trees have book thickness at most three. More generally, all planar graphs have book thickness four. It has been claimed by Mihalis Yannakakis in 1986 that there exist some planar graphs that have book thickness exactly four. However, a detailed proof of this claim, announced in a subsequent journal paper, was not known until 2020, when Bekos et al. presented planar graphs with treewidth 4 that require four pages in any book embedding.
Behavior under subdivisions
Subdividing every edge of a graph into two-edge paths, by adding new vertices within each edge, may sometimes increase its book thickness. For instance, the diamond graph has book thickness one (it is outerplanar) but its subdivision has book thickness two (it is planar and subhamiltonian but not outerplanar). However, this subdivision process can also sometimes significantly reduce the book thickness of the subdivided graph. For instance, the book thickness of the complete graph is proportional to its number of vertices, but subdividing each of its edges into a two-edge path produces a subdivision whose book thickness is much smaller, only . Despite the existence of examples such as this one, conjectured that a subdivision's book thickness cannot be too much smaller than that of the original graph. Specifically, they conjectured that there exists a function such that, for every graph and for the graph formed by replacing every edge in by a two-edge path, if the book thickness of is then the book thickness of is at most . Their conjecture turned out to be false: graphs formed by Cartesian products of stars and triangular tilings have unbounded book thickness, but subdividing their edges into six-edge paths reduces their book thickness to three.
Relation to other graph invariants
Book thickness is related to thickness, the number of planar graphs needed to cover the edges of the given graph. A graph has thickness if it can be drawn in the plane, and its edges colored with colors, in such a way that edges of the same color as each other do not cross. Analogously, a graph has book thickness if it can be drawn in a half plane, with its vertices on the boundary of the half plane, with its edges colored with colors with no crossing between two edges of the same color. In this formulation of book thickness, the colors of the edges correspond to the pages of the book embedding. However, thickness and book thickness can be very different from each other: there exist graphs (subdivisions of complete graphs) that have unbounded book thickness, despite having thickness two.
Graphs of treewidth have book thickness at most and this bound is tight for
. Graphs with edges have book thickness , and graphs of genus have book thickness . More generally, every minor-closed graph family has bounded book thickness. On the other hand, the 1-planar graphs, which are not closed under minors, have also bounded book thickness, but some 1-planar graphs including have book thickness at least four.
Every shallow minor of a graph of bounded book thickness is a sparse graph, whose ratio of edges to vertices is bounded by a constant that depends only on the depth of the minor and on the book thickness. That is, in the terminology of , the graphs of bounded book thickness have bounded expansion. However, even the graphs of bounded degree, a much stronger requirement than having bounded expansion, can have unbounded book thickness.
Because graphs of book thickness two are planar graphs, they obey the planar separator theorem: they have separators, subsets of vertices whose removal splits the graph into pieces with at most vertices each, with only vertices in the separator. Here, refers to the number of vertices in the graph. However, there exist graphs of book thickness three that do not have separators of sublinear size.
The edges within a single page of a book embedding behave in some ways like a stack data structure. This can be formalized by considering an arbitrary sequence of push and pop operations on a stack, and forming a graph in which the stack operations correspond to the vertices of the graph, placed in sequence order along the spine of a book embedding. Then, if one draws an edge from each pop operation that pops an object from the stack, to the previous push operation that pushed , the resulting graph will automatically have a one-page embedding. For this reason, the page number of a graph has also been called its stack number. In the same way, one may consider an arbitrary sequence of enqueue and dequeue operations of a queue data structure, and form a graph that has these operations as its vertices, placed in order on the spine of a single page, with an edge between each enqueue operation and the corresponding dequeue. Then, in this graph, each two edges will either cross or cover disjoint intervals on the spine. By analogy, researchers have defined a queue embedding of a graph to be an embedding in a topological book such that each vertex lies on the spine, each edge lies in a single page, and each two edges in the same page either cross or cover disjoint intervals on the spine. The minimum number of pages needed for a queue embedding of a graph is called its queue number.
Computational complexity
Finding the book thickness of a graph is NP-hard. This follows from the fact that finding Hamiltonian cycles in maximal planar graphs is NP-complete. In a maximal planar graph, the book thickness is two if and only if a Hamiltonian cycle exists. Therefore, it is also NP-complete to test whether the book thickness of a given maximal planar graph is two.
If an ordering of the vertices of a graph along the spine of an embedding is fixed, then a two-page embedding (if it exists) can be found in linear time, as an instance of planarity testing for a graph formed by augmenting the given graph with a cycle connecting the vertices in their spine ordering. claimed that finding three-page embeddings with a fixed spine ordering can also be performed in polynomial time although his writeup of this result omits many details. However, for graphs that require four or more pages, the problem of finding an embedding with the minimum possible number of pages remains NP-hard, via an equivalence to the NP-hard problem of coloring circle graphs, the intersection graphs of chords of a circle. Given a graph with a fixed spine ordering for its vertices, drawing these vertices in the same order around a circle and drawing the edges of as line segments produces a collection of chords representing . One can then form a circle graph that has the chords of this diagram as vertices and crossing pairs of chords as edges. A coloring of the circle graph represents a partition of the edges of into subsets that can be drawn without crossing on a single page. Therefore, an optimal coloring is equivalent to an optimal book embedding. Since circle graph coloring with four or more colors is NP-hard, and since any circle graph can be formed in this way from some book embedding problem, it follows that optimal book embedding is also NP-hard. For a fixed vertex ordering on the spine of a two-page book drawing, it is also NP-hard to minimize the number of crossings when this number is nonzero.
If the spine ordering is unknown but a partition of the edges into two pages is given, then it is possible to find a 2-page embedding (if it exists) in linear time by an algorithm based on SPQR trees. However, it is NP-complete to find a 2-page embedding when neither the spine ordering nor the edge partition is known. Finding the book crossing number of a graph is also NP-hard, because of the NP-completeness of the special case of testing whether the 2-page crossing number is zero.
As a consequence of bounded expansion, the subgraph isomorphism problem, of finding whether a pattern graph of bounded size exists as a subgraph of a larger graph, can be solved in linear time when the larger graph has bounded book thickness. The same is true for detecting whether the pattern graph is an induced subgraph of the larger graph, or whether it has a graph homomorphism to the larger graph. For the same reason, the problem of testing whether a graph of bounded book thickness obeys a given formula of first order logic is fixed-parameter tractable.
describe a system for finding optimal book embeddings by transforming the problem into an instance of the Boolean satisfiability problem and applying a SAT solver to the resulting problem. They state that their system is capable of finding an optimal embedding for 400-vertex maximal planar graphs in approximately 20 minutes.
Applications
Fault-tolerant multiprocessing
One of the main motivations for studying book embedding cited by involves an application in VLSI design, to the organization of fault-tolerant multiprocessors. In the DIOGENES system developed by these authors, the CPUs of a multiprocessor system are arranged into a logical sequence corresponding to the spine of a book (although this sequence may not necessarily be placed along a line in the physical layout of this system). Communication links connecting these processors are grouped into "bundles" which correspond to the pages of a book and act like stacks: connecting one of the processors to the start of a new communications link pushes all the previous links upward in the bundle, and connecting another processor to the end of a communication link connects it to the one at the bottom of the bundle and pops all the other ones down. Because of this stack behavior, a single bundle can handle a set of communications links that form the edges of a single page in a book embedding. By organizing the links in this way, a wide variety of different network topologies can be implemented, regardless of which processors have become faulty, as long as enough non-faulty processors remain to implement the network. The network topologies that can be implemented by this system are exactly the ones that have book thickness at most equal to the number of bundles that have been made available.
Book embedding may also be used to model the placement of wires connecting VLSI components into the layers of a circuit.
Stack sorting
Another application cited by concerns sorting permutations using stacks.
An influential result of showed that a system that processes a data stream by pushing incoming elements onto a
stack and then, at appropriately chosen times, popping them from the stack onto an output stream can sort the data if and only if its initial order is described by a permutation that avoids the permutation pattern 231. Since then, there has been much work on similar problems of sorting data streams by more general systems of stacks and queues. In the system considered by , each element from an input data stream must be pushed onto one of several stacks. Then, once all of the data has been pushed in this way, the items are popped from these stacks (in an appropriate order) onto an output stream. As Chung et al. observe, a given permutation can be sorted by this system if and only if a certain graph, derived from the permutation, has a book embedding with the vertices in a certain fixed order along the spine and with a number of pages that is at most equal to the number of stacks.
Traffic control
As described, a book embedding may be used to describe the phases of a traffic signal at a controlled intersection.
At an intersection, the incoming and outgoing lanes of traffic (including the ends of pedestrian crosswalks and bicycle lanes as well as lanes for motor vehicles) may be represented as the vertices of a graph, placed on the spine of a book embedding in their clockwise order around the junction. The paths through the intersection taken by traffic to get from an incoming lane to an outgoing lane may be represented as the edges of an undirected graph. For instance, this graph might have an edge from an incoming to an outgoing lane of traffic that both belong to the same segment of road, representing a U-turn from that segment back to that segment, only if U-turns are allowed at the junction. For a given subset of these edges, the subset represents a collection of paths that can all be traversed without interference from each other if and only if the subset does not include any pair of edges that would cross if the two edges were placed in a single page of a book embedding. Thus, a book embedding of this graph describes a partition of the paths into non-interfering subsets, and the book thickness of this graph (with its fixed embedding on the spine) gives the minimum number of distinct phases needed for a signalling schedule that includes all possible traffic paths through the junction.
Graph drawing
Book embedding has also been frequently applied in the visualization of network data. Two of the standard layouts in graph drawing, arc diagrams and circular layouts, can be viewed as book embeddings, and book embedding has also been applied in the construction of clustered layouts, simultaneous embeddings, and three-dimensional graph drawings.
An arc diagram or linear embedding places vertices of a graph along a line, and draws the edges of the graph as semicircles either above or below this line, sometimes also allowing edges to be drawn on segments of the line. This drawing style corresponds to a book embedding with either one page (if all semicircles are above the line) or two pages (if both sides of the line are used), and was originally introduced as a way of studying the crossing numbers of graphs. Planar graphs that do not have two-page book embeddings may also be drawn in a similar way, by allowing their edges to be represented by multiple semicircles above and below the line. Such a drawing is not a book embedding by the usual definition, but has been called a topological book embedding. For every planar graph, it is always possible to find such an embedding in which each edge crosses the spine at most once.
In another drawing style, the circular layout, the vertices of a graph are placed on a circle and the edges are drawn either inside or outside the circle. Again, a placement of the edges within the circle (for instance as straight line segments) corresponds to a one-page book drawing, while a placement both inside and outside the circle corresponds to a two-page book drawing.
For one-page drawings of either style, it is important to keep the number of crossings small as a way of reducing the visual clutter of the drawing. Minimizing the number of crossings is NP-complete, but may be approximated with an approximation ratio of where is the number of vertices. Minimizing the one-page or two-page crossing number is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the cyclomatic number of the given graph, or by a combination of the crossing number and the treewidth of the graph. Heuristic methods for reducing the crossing complexity have also been devised, based e.g. on a careful vertex insertion order and on local optimization.
Two-page book embeddings with a fixed partition of the edges into pages can be interpreted as a form of clustered planarity, in which the given graph must be drawn in such a way that parts of the graph (the two subsets of edges) are placed in the drawing in a way that reflects their clustering. Two-page book embedding has also been used to find simultaneous embeddings of graphs, in which two graphs are given on the same vertex set and one must find a placement for the vertices in which both graphs are drawn planarly with straight edges.
Book embeddings with more than two pages have also been used to construct three-dimensional drawings of graphs. In particular, used a construction for book embeddings that keep the degree of each vertex within each page low, as part of a method for embedding graphs into a three-dimensional grid of low volume.
RNA folding
In the study of how RNA molecules fold to form their structure, the standard form of nucleic acid secondary structure can be described diagrammatically as a chain of bases (the RNA sequence itself), drawn along a line, together with a collection of arcs above the line describing the basepairs of the structure. That is, although these structures actually have a complicated three-dimensional shape, their connectivity (when a secondary structure exists) can be described by a more abstract structure, a one-page book embedding. However, not all RNA folds behave in this simple way. have proposed a so-called "bi-secondary structure" for certain RNA pseudoknots that takes the form of a two-page book embedding: the RNA sequence is again drawn along a line, but the basepairs are drawn as arcs both above and below this line. In order to form a bi-secondary structure, a graph must have maximum degree at most three: each base can only participate in one arc of the diagram, in addition to the two links to its neighbors in the base sequence. Advantages of this formulation include the facts that it excludes structures that are actually knotted in space, and that it matches most known RNA pseudoknots.
Because the spine ordering is known in advance for this application, testing for the existence of a bi-secondary structure for a given basepairing is straightforward. The problem of assigning edges to the two pages in a compatible way can be formulated as either an instance of 2-satisfiability, or as a problem of testing the bipartiteness of the circle graph whose vertices are the basepairs and whose edges describe crossings between basepairs. Alternatively and more efficiently, as show, a bi-secondary structure exists if and only if the diagram graph of the input (a graph formed by connecting the bases into a cycle in their sequence order and adding the given basepairs as edges) is a planar graph. This characterization allows bi-secondary structures to be recognized in linear time as an instance of planarity testing.
used the connection between secondary structures and book embeddings as part of a proof of the NP-hardness of certain problems in RNA secondary structure comparison. And if an RNA structure is tertiary rather than bi-secondary (that is, if it requires more than two pages in its diagram), then determining the page number is again NP-hard.
Computational complexity theory
used book embedding to study the computational complexity theory of the reachability problem in directed graphs. As they have observed, reachability for two-page directed graphs may be solved in unambiguous logarithmic space (the analogue, for logarithmic space complexity, of the class UP of unambiguous polynomial-time problems). However, reachability for three-page directed graphs requires the full power of nondeterministic logarithmic space. Thus, book embeddings seem intimately connected with the distinction between these two complexity classes.
The existence of expander graphs with constant page number is the key step in proving that there is no subquadratic-time simulation of two-tape non-deterministic Turing machines by one-tape non-deterministic Turing machines.
Other areas of mathematics
study applications of book thickness in abstract algebra, using graphs defined from the zero divisors of a finite local ring by making a vertex for each zero divisor and an edge for each pair of values whose product is zero.
In a multi-paper sequence, Dynnikov has studied the topological book embeddings of knots and links, showing that these embeddings can be described by a combinatorial sequence of symbols and that the topological equivalence of two links can be demonstrated by a sequence of local changes to the embeddings.

Companies that do business in more than one currency are exposed to exchange rate risk – that is, changes in the value of one currency versus another. Exchange rate risk (also known as foreign exchange risk, risk, or currency risk ) is especially high in periods of high currency volatility.
Currency analytics are technology tools that enable global companies to manage the risk associated with currency volatility. Currency analytics often involve automation that helps companies access and validate currency exposure data and make decisions that mitigate currency risk.
How global companies use currency analytics to manage risk
Currency volatility can impact a company's balance sheet and/or cash flow. Corporate currency analytics help companies manage currency risk in both areas.
Balance sheet risk
In the process of remeasuring transaction currency monetary assets and liability account balances, the difference between the exchange rate when the transaction was posted and exchange rate when the transaction was cleared goes to the functional entity's income statement as an FX gain or loss. Then in the process of translating the functional entity's income statement for the reporting entity's consolidated income statement, that FX gain/loss gets translated at current income statement rate to reporting currency and appears on the consolidated income statement.
Managing balance sheet risk can involve organic (natural) hedging such as using cash positions or intercompany loans to create exposure offsets. It can also involve external hedging such as buying a forward contract to offset FX exposure.
In both cases, efficient hedging depends on being able to drill down into the balance sheet to see the currencies of the transactions sitting on the company's books around the world. Currency analytics automates that drill-down process and presents balance sheet exposure data in an easy-to-use dashboard that allows companies to efficiently manage balance sheet risk and minimize FX gain/loss.
Cash flow risk
In the process of translating the functional entity's income statement, revenue, cost of goods sold (COGS), and operating expenses (OpEx) get translated at the current income statement rate to reporting currency and appear on the consolidated income statement. Currency impact to revenue, COGS, and OpEx arises from differences between the current income statement rate and the forecasted rate.
Managing cash flow risk is fundamentally about protecting the economic value of the company's future flow of cash from being eroded by currency volatility. It can involve organic (natural) hedging such as pricing contracts in a particular currency. It can also involve external hedging, but accounting rules require matching hedges to forecasted cash flows and don't allow hedging economic risk.
Currency analytics allow companies to mitigate cash flow risk by uncovering accounting exposures to match the economic exposures so the company can hedge the accounting exposure as a proxy. Currency analytics enable what/if scenario analysis so companies can model how volatility in particular currencies could impact their revenue and expenses in the future.

Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark (; 11 October 1753 – 7 December 1805) was heir presumptive to the thrones of Denmark and Norway. He was the only surviving son of King Frederick V by his second wife, Juliana Maria of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel.
After the fall of Johann Friedrich Struensee in 1772, Hereditary Prince Frederick was installed as regent, acting on behalf of his half-brother, King Christian VII, who was mentally unstable. After the coup of 1784, when the king's son Crown Prince Frederick took power and regency, he was left without influence at the court.
Life
Early life
Frederick was born at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen on 11 October 1753. To provide for his future position, at the age of 3 he was elected coadjutor in the Prince-Bishopric of Lübeck. This meant that in time he would succeed the Prince-Bishop then in office, Frederick August. This plan had to be abandoned, however, and Frederick stayed in Denmark as a junior member of the royal family.
Marriage
He married Duchess Sophia Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1758–1794) in Copenhagen on 21 October 1774. She was a daughter of Duke Louis of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Princess Charlotte Sophie of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.
Regent of the kingdoms
His elder half-brother, King Christian VII, who had a severe mental illness (believed to have been schizophrenia), and had been divorced from his wife, Caroline Matilda of Great Britain (who was then exiled), Prince Frederick was designated as regent of Denmark-Norway in 1772, when 18 years old. His regency was mostly nominal, the power being held by his mother, Queen Juliane Marie, and minister Ove Høegh-Guldberg.
He acted as regent until the coup of 1784, when his 16-year-old half-nephew Frederick (the future King Frederick VI), took power and regency.
Later life
After the coup, Frederick was left without much influence at the court.
After Christiansborg Palace was destroyed by fire in 1794, Hereditary Prince Frederick moved with his family to Amalienborg Palace. Sophia Frederica died the same year, shortly after the move. Hereditary Prince Frederick outlived his wife by 11 years and died at Amalienborg Palace on 7 December 1805. Eventually, his son Christian Frederick would succeed Frederick VI as king, first in Norway then in Denmark, and his granddaughter Louise of Hesse-Kassel married the future Christian IX making Frederick the ancestor of the current Danish Monarchs
In Literature
Prince Frederick is an important character in Norah Lofts' historical novel The Lost Queen (1969), chronicling the tragic marriage of King Christian VII and Queen Caroline Matilda. The book suggests that Frederick was himself in love with the Queen and jealous of her lover Johann Friedrich Struensee – which is not firmly attested in historical sources.

The Charles Richard Drew Memorial Bridge, also known as the Michigan Avenue Bridge, carries Michigan Avenue over the CSX and Metrorail railroad tracks. The Brookland-CUA Metro Station is located below the bridge as well. It lies in the University Heights neighborhood in the northeastern part of Washington, D.C. The name of the bridge honors Dr. Charles R. Drew (1904-1950) who was a scientist, surgeon and athlete. A plaque is situated at the western end of the bridge.
History
The Drew Memorial Bridge was built in 1980–1981. It replaced the Michigan Ave Bridge over the B&O Railroad built in 1937-38 and opened on August 29, 1938. That bridge was 1161' long and 40' wide and was the first bridge at that location. It was a steel beam bridge on simple spans designed by the D.C. Bridge division and built by the James Baird Company for $265,000.
Construction of the Drew Bridge began in April 1980 and was completed in 1981. While mostly similar to the bridge it replaced, it only had one 6 foot wide sidewalk, on the north side, while the old bridge had 6 foot wide sidewalks on both sides. In 1982 a citizen's committee was created by the Mayor to name the bridge and in 1983 they selected the name of Dr. Charles R. Drew, whose daughter was at the time the Ward 4 Representative to the DC Council.

The Seven Mile River or Sevenmile River is a stream in central Massachusetts. It heads at Browning Pond, at the Oakham and Spencer border, and travels south through Spencer, following a short distance from State Route 31 (North Spencer Road). It crosses under Route 31 the highway becomes Pleasant Street, then continues south along Old Meadow Road and under State Route 9 near the junction of State Route 49. It then parallels Route 9 to its south until it joins the East Brookfield River between Lake Lashaway and Quaboag Pond.
Information
The Seven Mile River drains Spencer and surrounding communities. Modern mapping shows it to be nearly ten miles long. Its mouth is at an elevation of about above sea level, and its head is at about . This fall was once used to provide waterpower for industry. There exists the remnants of several dams, two of which were taken out during a flood in the 1950s and never repaired. They remain as evidence of a forgone era when Spencer was a major manufacturing center. In addition to small local brooks and streams, the Seven Mile River is fed from Turkey Hill Brook north of town and Cranberry River to the south. This river is part of the Chicopee River Watershed.
The seven mile name starts from the length of the river, the bridge is not really 7 miles.
History
In the 1800s, the Seven Mile River furnished waterpower to industry in Spencer. There were many factories along this river. Now a sewage treatment plant stands alone. At the head of Turkey Hill Brook, a major tributary to the Seven Mile River is Sugden Reservoir. The reservoir was part of Spencer's wire drawing industry and fed the Lower Wire Village Mill, which made card wire. This mill originally belonged to the Prouty Brothers. When sold to Richard Sugden, he improved it by building the Sugden Reservoir on the top of Turkey Hill. The new company's name became Wickwire-Spencer. It remained until after World War II.

Jayden Andrew Reid (born 22 April 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward.
Reid came through the youth systems of Manchester United and Swansea City before turning professional with Birmingham City in 2019. He made his Football League debut towards the end of the 2019–20 EFL Championship season, and spent time on loan to Barrow and Walsall in 2020–21. Birmingham released him in 2021 and he signed for Portsmouth, where injury prevented him from playing.
Career
Reid was born in 2001 in Luton, Bedfordshire. His older brother Tyler also became a professional footballer. Tyler joined Manchester United's Academy in 2012, and Jayden followed him. After Tyler signed for Swansea City, Jayden again followed him, and took up a two-year scholarship with the club. He played on the wing or as an attacking midfielder for the under-18 team and occasionally for the under-23s, but was not offered a professional contract when his scholarship came to an end.
A trial with West Ham United came to nothing, but trials with Championship club Birmingham City at the end of the 2018–19 season led to a one-year professional contract, with an option of a second year. Birmingham's then academy manager, Kristjaan Speakman, saw him as "a forward player best suited to central areas [who] has demonstrated good ability in and around the box." Once recovered from an ankle injury that interrupted his progress, he scored freely for Birmingham's under-23 team and was given a first-team squad number in February 2020. The club took their one-year option on his contract, and when the 2019–20 EFL Championship season resumed after its suspension because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was named among nine substitutes for Birmingham's first match under the temporary rules, on 20 June away at West Bromwich Albion, but remained unused. He made his senior debut on 8 July, at home to his former club Swansea City, replacing Jérémie Bela after 77 minutes with his team 3–1 down, which was the final score. He finished the season with four appearances, all from the bench.
Reid had no involvement in Birmingham's matchday squad under new head coach Aitor Karanka, who thought he would benefit from greater experience of competitive football, so on 16 October 2020, he joined League Two club Barrow on loan until 3 January 2021. He made his debut four days later, replacing the injured Scott Quigley ten minutes into the second half with his team 3–2 up at home to Bolton Wanderers; the visitors equalised in the 95th minute. He made 12 appearances in all competitions, mainly as a substitute, before returning to Birmingham when his loan expired.
He joined another League Two club, Walsall, on 19 January 2021 on loan for the remainder of the season. He was a regular on the bench, but made only one appearance, playing the first half of the visit to Exeter City on 2 March, before returning to Birmingham by mutual consent later that month. Walsall's manager, Brian Dutton, said that Reid was "frustrated that he'd not had enough minutes and he felt that he would stand a better chance of earning a contract somewhere else next season, whether that's with Birmingham or another club." In May 2021, Birmingham confirmed that Reid would leave the club when his contract expired at the end of the season. His last appearance was for Birmingham's U23 team as they beat Sheffield United U23 in the national final of the 2020–21 Professional Development League.
After a trial, Reid signed a one-year deal with League One club Portsmouth on 20 July 2021. A few minutes into his first pre-season friendly, he suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament that would keep him out for the season. The club took up their option to extend his contract for a further year. He regained fitness only to injure a hamstring during 2022 pre-season, suffered a second ACL rupture, to the other knee, during training in October, and was released at the end of the season without having played any competitive football for the club.
