Sandra Lahire (November 19, 1950 - July 27, 2001) was a central figure in the experimental feminist filmmaking that emerged in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s. Life and career Lahire studied Philosophy at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (BA), Fine Art Film at St Martin's School of Art, London, (1984) and Film & Environmental Media at the Royal College of Art, London (MA 1986). It was at St Martin's that she entered the world of independent film, working with artists including Malcolm Le Grice, Lis Rhodes, Tina Keane, Vera Neubauer and studying alongside the film-maker Isaac Julien. Her poetic short films were made in the context of the London Film-Makers’ Cooperative which “developed a new form of mixed-genre film-making [….] which marked a new stage in experimental film in Britain”, according to Jacqueline Rose. Of this generation Rose has described Lahire as “one of the most gifted, innovative and bold experimental film-makers”. Her first film, "Arrows", 1984, was a meditation on anorexia, a subject that threaded throughout her work. In 1986 she made ‘’Terminals’’, ‘’Edge’’, and ‘’Plutonium Blonde’’. In 1987, working with film-makers Jean Matthee and Anna Thew, Lahire made ‘’Uranium Hex’’. ‘’Serpent River’’,1989, explored the toxic effects of a uranium mining corporation, owned by Rio Tinto Zinc, on the residents and inhabitants of Serpent River and Elliot Lake in Ontario, Canada. In 1991 she made ‘’Lady Lazarus’’, the first part of a trilogy ‘’Living on Air’’, which was inspired by the poetry of Sylvia Plath and which she made across the span of nine years. The film incorporated an interview with Plath given just before she died. The lead of ‘’Living on Air’’ was played by fellow film-maker Sarah Turner. ‘’Eerie’’ followed in 1992. The second part of the Plath trilogy, ‘’Night Dances’’, 1995, presented Hebrew inscriptions on worn gravestones and allusions to Yom Kippur through which Lahire explored Jewish aspects of her identity. ‘’Persephone’’ and ‘’Knife Born’’ were made in 1997-98, with the final of the Plath trilogy, ‘’Johnny Panic’’, appearing in 1999. Marina Grzinic has noted Lahire's “profound filmic commentary on anorexia. The body, always that body that is coming near the image of a spectre, that is connected solely with 'air and bones' while minimizing the flesh to zero, is also the primal element she uses to establish her relationship with her surroundings, particularly with a landscape destroyed by pollution or nuclear waste.” Grzinic also underscores the centrality of light and sound in her works, with which “she recreated emotional situations and connections between personal obsession(s) and social structures.” An essay by Lahire, Lesbians in Media Education, appeared in the anthology Visibly Female: Feminism and Art, edited by Hilary Robinson in 1998. She also wrote an essay for Coil Magazine 'The Fairies Banquet', 1999, on Sarah Pucill's film Swollen Stigma (1998) who was her fellow filmmaker and partner at the time. For Make Magazine Issue 7, which was a special issue on the Miniature 1999, she wrote an essay, 'Little Deaths', on her film Johnny Panic (1999) and Sarah Pucill's film Cast (1999). Reflections on Lahire and her work by film-makers Sarah Pucill (who was her partner in the last 6 years of her life), Lis Rhodes (for whom Lahire wrote a score for her film Just About Now) and Sarah Turner appeared in Vertigo magazine in Spring 2002.

In 1747 he was a bailiff before being voted into the position of Mayor of Liverpool, first in 1754 and again in 1768. Prior to taking his second term as mayor, he issued a statement due to his increasing years in which he announced his support for William Pownall. The circular is dated 16 October 1767: The following day, he officially announced his backing for William Pownall: This appeal was successful and William Pownall was voted into office, however, he died five months later, and on 12 March 1768, Goore was voted to fill in the position for the remaining months. The following year, Goore was voted as Deputy Mayor during Matthew Strong's term. Goore died on 13 March 1783, at his home in Liverpool. Family Goore had four children, Charles Mather Goore, who died from Smallpox aged 16 months, Richard Goore, Henry Goore and Elizabeth Goore. His daughter Elizabeth was the only offspring to marry. She married her father's apprentice and future Mayor, Thomas Staniforth. References 1701 births People from Ormskirk Mayors of Liverpool 1783 deaths English slave traders

Maurice George O'Shea (13 June 1897 – 5 May 1956) was one of Australia's most respected winemakers, and is often referred to as the father of Australia's modern winemaking. Maurice was the son of Irish born wine and spirit merchant John Augustus O'Shea (d.1912) and Leontine Frances, née Beaucher. History Maurice completed his secondary schooling at Riverview College. He then studied winemaking at Montpellier University and, in 1917, enrolled at the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon where he studied viticulture and oenology He returned to Australia in 1920. O'Shea married Marcia Singer Fuller on 2 December 1925 at St Peter's Anglican Church, Hamilton. Maurice O'Shea died on 5 May 1956 of lung cancer even though he did not smoke. He is buried at Gore Hill Cemetery, Sydney. A biography of Maurice O'Shea was written in 2006 by wine writer Campbell Mattinson. Winemaking In 1925 Maurice began making wine on his family's vineyard, which he named Mount Pleasant, in Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. In 1932 O'Shea sold half of this business to McWilliam's Wines Pty Ltd. O'Shea stayed on as Manager and Director of the new subsidiary Mount Pleasant Wines Pty Ltd. In 1941 he sold the remaining half of the business and stayed on as manager and winemaker. Maurice O'Shea named many of his wines after his friends, rather than the more orthodox method of naming them with a Bin Number of letter. The names included "Elizabeth", "Henry" and "George". McWilliams Mt. Pleasant 'Elizabeth' Semillon is still made. O'Shea most often made very small quantities of wine, often only one 2,275 litre cask. Recognition The Maurice O'Shea Award was inaugurated in 1990, and is now awarded every second year. Those honoured include Max Schubert (1990), Wolf Blass (2000) and Ray Beckwith.

The Point Pleasant Canal is a canal in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. It was completed in 1925 to connect the Manasquan Inlet and Manasquan River with Bay Head Harbor on the northern end of Barnegat Bay. The canal is part of the Intracoastal Waterway. With the completion of the canal, the Barnegat Peninsula effectively became an island. The island is connected to the mainland by two lift bridges spanning the canal; as well as three bridges to the south which cross the Barnegat Bay. The bridges, at Route 88, at Bridge Avenue (the Lovelandtown Bridge), at Mantoloking Road (the Mantoloking Bridge), and two bridges at Route 37 (the Thomas A. Mathis Bridge and the J. Stanley Tunney Bridge), open on demand, halting motor traffic to allow boats to pass underneath as marine traffic has the right of way.

Yellow Asphalt (, Asfalt Tzahov) is a 2000 Israeli film depicting Jahalin Bedouins and their way of life, specifically their conflict with Israeli Jews. The film is a pastiche of three short stories depicted sequentially: Black spot (Moshe Ivgi, Zevik Raz) – about an Israeli tanker crew which runs over a Bedouin boy Here is not there (Tatjana Blacher, Abed Zuabi) – about the doomed love of a German woman and her Bedouin husband Red roofs (Raida Adon, Sami Samir, Motti Katz) – about a love affair / physical relationship of an Israeli Jewish farmer and his Bedouin maid The stories are shot on location in the Judean desert, and casts members of the Jahalin Bedouin tribe in acting roles. The three shorts are woven together by the presence of the same village elders in all the films, who happen to be actual members of the Jahalin Bedouin. The film was released with Hebrew and Arabic audio tracks. The entire film took seven years to create. The film tries to portray the clash of civilizations between the Bedouins and Israeli Jews in a non-judgmental manner. Shot before the Second Intifada, the film steers clear of political themes, focusing instead on social issues. yellow asphalt is the first Israeli film which was remade in Hollywood under the name - before the rains. Plots Black spot A Bedouin boy is run over by an Israeli tanker while crossing the highway with his donkey. The truck driver and his help decide to move the body to the side of the road, and flee. The truck's self ignition fails, and by the time they repair it, they are surrounded by Bedouins. The tense, almost wordless stand-off is broken when the truck help, under orders from the truck driver, removes an extra wheel from the truck and gives it to the Bedouins to pass judgment on. Here is not there A council of village elders meet to discuss the marital problems of a Bedouin man and his German wife. The wife, who wants to leave with her two children back to Germany, is instructed to go back to her tent and her family. She decides to escape in the middle of the night with her two children. She runs most of the night - carrying her younger child, and leading her older one - before falling asleep exhausted. She is discovered in the morning by her husband who pursues her with a 4WD across the desert wadis. She intercepts an Israeli truck, and is helped by the truck driver, but her husband realizes she is hiding in the truck when he overhears his children crying inside it. The wife takes flight with the children, but is ultimately pursued down by the husband and stoned. This entire episode turns out to be a cautionary daydream of the German wife in question, who ultimately decides to leave in the middle of the night with her two children anyway. Red roofs A Palestinian housekeeper, wife of a Bedouin leader, is a concubine of an Israeli Jewish farmer with wife and children of his own. When news of her infidelity reaches her husband via Bedouin children who spotted her making love in the desert, he beats her up. The housekeeper decides to seek shelter at the farmer's place based on his assurances that he would look after her. However, the farmer decides to avoid trouble with the Bedouin tribe and asks his Bedouin farmyard help to kill the woman and dispose of the body and gun. The help is unable to kill her, and takes the housekeeper to an unspecified Israeli city - letting her go and telling her not to come back. She does come back, and is shot dead by the farmer. The help deposes of the body and gun inefficiently, leading to the discovery of both. A blood feud is thus inadvertently started between the family of the housekeeper and that of the farmyard help. The help ultimately undergoes the primeval "fire test" to prove his innocence, but tells the Bedouin elders about the guilt of the Israeli farmer. The Bedouin help is excommunicated from his clan, but given a chance to redeem himself by killing the Israeli farmer. He fails to do so, and the Israeli farmer is shown being pursued by the brother of the housekeeper. The final scene shows the farmyard help, an outcast from his society, hitching a ride into the same Israeli city, with words he had used to chide the housekeeper about living in two disparate worlds playing in the background.

Talitha (Classical Syriac: ܛܠܝܼܬ݂ܵܐ/ܛܠܻܝܬ݂ܳܐ ṭlīṯā or ṭlīṯō) is an uncommon feminine name given in reference to the Biblical story in the Gospel of Mark in which Jesus Christ was said to have resurrected a dead child with the words "Talitha cumi" or "Talitha kum" or "Talitha koum," often translated as "Little girl, I say to you, arise!" Some sources say the Aramaic word could be translated as little lamb, while others say the word refers to a young girl. History of usage It was among many names taken from the Bible that were used by Puritans in the American colonial era. Talitha Cumi Elderkin Stiles, a schoolteacher, born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1779, was one of only three original settlers of Cleveland who stayed there over the first winter of 1796–1797 when, attended by Seneca Native American women, she gave birth to Charles Stiles, the first white child born in the Western Reserve. Six decades later, eleven-year-old Talitha Dunlap was among the between 120 and 140 men, women and children who were killed during the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre. The name ranked 1,108 among names given to American girls born in 1881. The name was also occasionally used in England by 1861, when the christening of a girl named Talitha-Cumi People was reported in The Times. It remains in occasional use in the United States and other countries. Sixty-eight newborn American girls were given the name in 2020, fifty-one newborn American girls were given the name in 2021 and thirty-five newborn American girls were given the name in 2022. Eight newborn Canadian girls were called Talitha in 2021. In Brazil, Talita (or Talitha/Thalita) was the 100th most common name for newborn girls in 2009. Star name While the personal name is most often derived from the Biblical story, Talitha is also the name of two stars, Talitha Borealis and Talitha Australis, in the Ursa Major constellation. The names of the stars are derived from the Arabic word for 'third' in the phrase () meaning 'The third leap [of the gazelle]', referring to an Arabic story about a startled gazelle which leapt three times to different points in the constellation.

The Gortyn code (also called the Great Code) was a legal code that was the codification of the civil law of the ancient Greek city-state of Gortyn in southern Crete. History Our sole source of knowledge of the code is the fragmentary boustrophedon inscription on the circular walls of what might have been a bouleuterion or other public civic building in the agora of Gortyn. The original building was in diameter; the 12 columns of text which survive are in length and in height and contain some 600 lines of text. In addition, some further broken texts survive; the so-called second text. It is the longest extant ancient Greek inscription except for the inscription of Diogenes of Oenoanda. Evidence suggests it is the work of a single sculptor. The inscription has been dated to the first half of the 5th century BCE. The first fragment of the code was discovered in 1857 by Georges Perrot and Louis Thenon. Italian archaeologist Federico Halbherr found a further four columns of the text while excavating a site near a local mill in 1884. Since this was evidently part of a larger text, he, with Ernst Fabricius and a team, obtained permission to excavate the rest of the site, revealing 8 more text columns whose stones had been reused as part of the foundations of a Roman Odeion from the 1st century BCE. The wall bearing the code has now been partially reconstructed. The Great Code is written in the Dorian dialect and is one of a number of legal inscriptions found scattered across Crete but curiously, very few nonlegal texts from ancient Crete survive. The Dorian language was then pervasive among Cretan cities such as Knossos, Lyttos, Axos and various other areas of central Crete.<ref name="ReferenceA">see Willetts, "The Law Code of Gortyn"</ref> The Code stands with a tradition of Cretan law, which taken as a totality represents the only substantial corpus of Greek law from antiquity found outside Athens. The whole corpus of Cretan law may be divided into three broad categories: the earliest (I. Cret. IV 1-40., ca. 600 BCE to ca. 525 BCE) was inscribed on the steps and walls of the temple of Apollo Pythios, the next a sequence, including the Great Code, written on the walls in or near the agora between ca. 525 and 400 BCE (I. Cret. IV 41-140), followed by the laws (I. Cret. IV 141-159), which contain Ionian characters and so are dated to the 4th century. Though all the texts are fragmentary and show evidence of a continuous amendment of the law, it has been possible to trace the development of the law from Archaic proscriptions onwards, notably the diminishing rights of women and the increasing rights of slaves. Also, one can infer some aspects of public law. Content The code deals with such matters as disputed ownership of slaves, rape and adultery, the rights of a wife when divorced or a widow, the custody of children born after divorce, inheritance, sale and mortgaging of property, ransom, children of mixed (slave, free and foreign) marriages and adoption. The code makes legal distinctions between different social classes. Free, serf, slave and foreigner social statuses are recognized within the document. Bringing suit The code provides a measure of protection for individuals prior to their trial. Persons bringing suit are prohibited from seizing and detaining the accused before trial. Violations are punishable by fines, which vary depending on the status of the detained individual. Rape and adultery Rape under the code is punished with fines. The fine is largely determined by the difference in social status between the victim and the accused. A free man convicted of raping a serf or a slave would receive the lowest fine; a slave convicted of raping a free man or woman would warrant the highest fine. Adultery is punished similarly to rape under the code but also takes into consideration the location of the crime. The code dictates higher fines for adultery committed within the household of the female's father, husband or brother, as opposed to another location. Fines also depend on whether the woman has previously committed adultery. The fines are levied against the male involved in the adultery, not the female. The code does not provide for the punishment of the female. Divorce and marriage rights The Gortyn law code grants a modicum of property rights to women in the case of divorce. Divorced women are entitled to any property that they brought to the marriage and half of the joint income if derived from her property. The code also provides for a portion of the household property. The code stipulates that any children conceived before the divorce but born after the divorce fall under the custody of the father. If the father does not accept the child, it reverts to the mother. Property rights and inheritance The code devotes a great deal of attention to the allocation and management of property. Although the husband manages the majority of the family property, the wife's property is still delineated. If the wife dies, the husband becomes the trustee to her property and may take no action on it without the consent of her children. In the case of remarriage, the first wife's property immediately comes into her children's possession. If the wife dies childless, her property reverts to her blood relatives. If the husband dies with children, the property is held in trust by the wife for the children. If the children are of age upon their father's death, the property is divided between the children, with males receiving all of the land. If the husband dies without any children, the wife is compelled to remarry. Adopted children receive all the inheritance rights of natural children and are considered legitimate heirs in all cases. Women are not allowed to adopt children. Gallery See also List of ancient legal codes Ancient Greek law References Sources M. Guarducci, Inscriptiones Creticae, 1935-1950. R. F.

Acoustic lubrication or sonic lubrication occurs when sound (measurable in a vacuum by placing a microphone on one element of the sliding system) permits vibration to introduce separation between the sliding faces. This could happen between two plates or between a series of particles. The frequency of sound required to induce optimal vibration, and thus cause sonic lubrication, varies with the size of the particles (high frequencies will have the desired, or undesired, effect on sand and lower frequencies will have this effect on boulders). Examples If there is a dynamic coefficient of friction between two objects of 0.20, and vibration causes them to be in contact only half of the time, that would be equivalent to a constant coefficient of friction of 0.10. This substantial reduction in friction can have a profound effect on the system. According to anecdote, World War II Panzer tank treads may have been lubricated by their own squeak providing a serendipitous example of acoustic lubrication. Another example occurs during landslides. Most landslides do not involve this effect, but occasionally the frequency of vibrations caused by the landslide is optimal to cause the boulders to vibrate. In this case, feedback causes the boulders to slide much farther and more quickly than typical, which can pose an increased danger to those in their path. One notable feature of such a landslide is that it appears to resemble flowing water, or mud, and not the dry sliding rocks that they were seconds earlier. Applications Besides the study of landslides, there could be many other applications for acoustic lubrication, particularly where variable friction is required or traditional lubricants can't be used. One case might be drilling wells (for water, oil, etc.) through sand. The optimal pitch of the sound (measurement of frequency) could reduce the friction between the drill bit and sand considerably. New razors with a vibrating head may also be an example. In fiction The protagonist in the videogame Shadow Complex can acquire a "friction dampener" that uses acoustic lubrication; this enables him to run at very high speeds.

Charles Franklin Watkins (September 28, 1872 – March 4, 1936) was an American physician, surgeon and physiotherapist. He played college baseball for the University of Michigan and later served as the coach of the Michigan Wolverines baseball team for three years. He moved to Billings, Montana in 1905 where he maintained a medical practice for approximately 30 years. Early years Watkins was born in Mount Cory, Ohio in 1872 to Issac and Esther Watkins (née Corwin), and the youngest of eight children. Watkins moved with his family to Reed City, Michigan in 1878. Issac was a postmaster at Ashton, Michigan and was active in Democratic politics until his death in 1894. Watkins attended the public schools in Reed City and graduated from Reed City High School. Watkins first played organized baseball with the Derbies, a Reed City team sponsored by a cigar maker, and later played semi-pro baseball while working at a drugstore in Traverse City, Michigan. University of Michigan Watkins enrolled at the University of Michigan intending to become a pharmacist. He received a degree in chemistry in 1898 and remained at Michigan as a medical student, graduating from its Department of Medicine and Surgery in 1901. While he was a student at Michigan, Watkins played for the Michigan Wolverines baseball team as a pitcher. He was known as "Watty" during his college baseball career and was reportedly "one of the first lefthanders to develop both a curved and a slow ball and once pitched a no-hit, no-run game." He was reported to have had "uncanny control" as a pitcher and was also a solid hitter, maintaining a batting average of .300 in the deadball era. Due to his desire to enter the medical profession, Watkins turned down many offers to play Major League Baseball, including an offer from the Cleveland Indians. Watkins continued to be associated with the Michigan baseball team as the head coach in 1897, 1898, and 1900. Watkins wrote that his "most satisfying moment in sports" took place on May 29, 1897, when the team defeated the University of Chicago at the Detroit Athletic Club. Medical career Watkins spent two years working at a railroad hospital in Brainerd, Minnesota, specializing in surgery. He became the first assistant surgeon at the Northern Pacific Railway Hospital in Missoula, Montana in 1903. While working at the Northern Pacific Hospital in Missoula, Watkins sustained severe burns on his left arm from the use of an old X-ray machine, which limited his physical capacity to continue his medical practice and resulted in his "virtual retirement" in approximately 1934. In 1905, Watkins moved to Billings, Montana, where he established a private medical practice in partnership with Dr. H. E. Armstrong. He remained in Billings as a physician, surgeon and physiotherapist for approximately 30 years and became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons in 1917. He was also the president of the Yellowstone Valley Medical Society from 1925-1927. At the time of his death the Billings Gazette called Watkins one of the city's "most distinguished and valuable citizens" and wrote of his devotion to his patients:"Few physicians remained more faithful to the demands and obligations of his profession. Many are the instances that could be related of his complete obedience to the dictates of his career. During his more than 30 years here, he served hundreds of citizens who placed the greatest confidence in his medical skill and valued friendships that came through the association of doctor and patient." Watkins presented several papers on surgery and physiotherapy to medical societies and served as chairman of the executive committee of St. Vincent Hospital in Billings for many years. He was also a surgeon for the Great Western Sugar Company and the Great Northern Railway. Watkins was also worked as a city health officer in 1906 and as the county health officer from 1907-1908. He served on the Billings city council from 1917–1918 and was a member of the local selective service draft board during World War I. Family and later years In May 1906 Watkins married Sophia Henrietta Bennighoff, with whom he had no children. Watkins was a member of the Billings Golf and Country Club, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, the Montana Medical Society, the Masons, the Elks and the Billings Rotary Club. In September 1918, they were living in Billings, and Watkins was working as a doctor with an office in the Electric Building in Billings. At the time of the 1920 census, Watkins and his wife remained in Billings, and Watkins was still operating a general medical practice. Watkins was a lover of outdoor recreation and an "ardent trout fisherman" who "never lost an opportunity, when practice would permit, to get into the river." He spent much time fishing in the Boulder River and often joked that "there's a fish up there I've been trying to catch for a long time. It always comes up and winks at me but will never bite my line." Watkins was not actively engaged in his medical practice during the last several years of his life due to failing health. He died at Billings in 1936 at the age of 63. His death was attributed to bronchopneumonia after an extended illness resulting from the x-ray burns sustained 30 years earlier. The burns reportedly "ultimately broke down his physical condition, leading to his death."

The Code of Conduct is aimed at strengthening internationalisation at German universities by securing and continuously enhancing the quality of support provided to international students. The guiding principle is, wherever possible, to grant international students the same rights as German or EU students enjoy and, over and above that, to offer them the services and assistance that they particularly need. The Code of Conduct is a voluntary commitment by the participating universities and contains fundamental standards relevant to the areas of information, marketing and admission as well as academic, language and social support. International students coming to the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences can rely upon compliance with the standards. This voluntary commitment demonstrates H-BRS' undertaking to provide appropriate support, which is an essential condition for the sustainable success of international students and researchers. Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg currently maintains partnerships with approximately 60 universities all over the world. The Bonn Student Union (Studierendenwerk Bonn) The Bonn Student Union (Studierendenwerk Bonn) looks after the interests of all students in the surrounding region, including those enrolled at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. It is responsible for H-BRS' food service, provides accommodation and helps with student finance as well as childcare. It is the students’ contact point for all matters relating to student welfare. The student executive bodies and committees The interests of the Student Body, which comprises all the students enrolled at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University, are represented by the following executive bodies and committees: the Student Parliament (StuPa), the General Students’ Committee (AStA), the student councils within each department as well as BRSU's central executive bodies, where the student representatives hold several seats. Every student at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University can be elected into one of these institutions for a one-year term of office. One of the boards of the AStA, dealing with cultural issues, initiates intercultural exchange projects. In addition, the student councils offer help and advice to international students. The International Welcome Centre The International Welcome Centre is a meeting and service point aimed at providing support to all international students and guest academics before and during their study period at the Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. Here students can obtain all information relevant to the formalities required, to accommodation as well as life in Germany and on the campus. The International Office The International Office organises regular excursions, boat trips and cultural events for international students. Through its proximity to the Rhine, the Siebengebirge mountains, the Eifel, the High Fens region and the Nürburgring, the Rhein-Sieg District provides excellent leisure opportunities. The nearby cities of Bonn, Aachen and Cologne, with their theatres, concert halls, museums, art galleries and cathedrals, offer a versatile programme of activities from the cultural point of view, too. In collaboration with the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg Employment Agency (Agentur für Arbeit Bonn/Rhein-Sieg), the International Centre also runs a project aimed at supporting international students who wish to work in Germany when graduating from university. Study Buddies The Study Buddy programme was initiated by the Department of Natural Sciences. Study Buddies are students in higher semesters who volunteer to look after students during the first weeks of their stay in Germany. This may involve contacting them via email, picking them up at the airport or the railway station, explaining the pitfalls of the German registration procedures, showing them around the University or simply sharing a coffee and chatting about the new experiences gained. Out of Campus Day Once a year, the Department of Natural Sciences organises an intercultural festival called “Out of Campus Day” in collaboration with the General Students’ Committee (AStA) and the Student Parliament (StuPA). The festival is aimed at providing students with information on a study period abroad, at promoting communication between German and international students and at celebrating the international atmosphere at the Rheinbach Campus. Apart from providing students with comprehensive information on partner universities and exchange programmes, degrees, costs and funding possibilities, the Student Council organises a musical programme and a wide variety of games. HELP – support for students and employees with family commitments HELP is a contact point aimed at giving support and advice to students and employees who have questions on how to balance their study/job and family commitments. HELP is responsible for collecting and communicating relevant information on childcare facilities and holiday childcare schemes to parents or members of BRSU with relatives in need of care. H-BRS also provides specially equipped study rooms to parents with young children. During their holidays, primary and secondary school children can be looked after within the framework of a project called "Try it". The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg Runners and other sports activities Members and alumni of H-BRS have participated in the Bonn marathon organised by Deutsche Post on several occasions. This has now led to the formation of a sports team called “Bonn-Rhein-Sieg Runners”. Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg also has an online portal for students interested in sports. Additionally, the University of Bonn offers a sports programme that comes out at the beginning of each semester. It includes numerous activities in which students can take part using the facilities of the University of Bonn. The Doppelpunkt university newspaper The doppelpunkt university newspaper is published twice a year. It covers a wide range of topics relating to H-BRS itself, tuition and research, university policy, international issues, the jobs market and miscellaneous items.

The Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation, branded as IndyGo, is a public transit agency and municipal corporation of the City of Indianapolis in the U.S. state of Indiana. It operates fixed-route buses, bus rapid transit, microtransit, and paratransit services. IndyGo has managed and operated the city's public bus transit system since 1975. In , the system had a ridership of , or about per weekday as of . History IndyGo's history begins in 1953 when the city's streetcar system was converted to bus routes, most of which followed the same routes as used by the streetcars. The city of Indianapolis took over public transportation in 1975 and established the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation to administer bus services. The corporation originally operated buses under the name Metro Bus; the IndyGo name was adopted in 1996. Portions of the system were briefly privatized in the 1990s, but the move proved unpopular, and all operations were ultimately taken over by the city. IndyGo has seen a near-constant trend of decreasing ridership since the 1970s and continues to explore options for revitalization. "Express" bus routes were used in the 1980s as an attempt to gain more middle-class riders from outlying areas, but the routes were largely discontinued by the early 2000s. In the fall of 2007, IndyGo resumed express routes, including one to Indianapolis International Airport. Marion County Transit Plan Indy Connect is a $1.2 billion plan to create a network of bus rapid transit lines, bikeways, and walkways. In 2017, City-County Council approved a voter referendum increasing Marion County's income tax to help fund IndyGo's first major system expansion since its 1975 founding. Local taxes and federal grants are funding systemwide improvements, including the creation of three bus rapid transit lines, battery electric buses, sidewalks, bus shelters, extended hours and weekend schedules. The first segment to be constructed is phase one of the Red Line, traveling from Broad Ripple Avenue to the University of Indianapolis. Construction along the route began in June 2018 and the route opened on September 1, 2019. In February 2020, the corporation announced it would be canceling an order for five battery-powered coaches for Route 39 along East 38th Street due to reliability issues with the BYD vehicles. IndyGo stated in a press release that the company had not met its contract which required the buses to cover until recharging, nor did it provide a permanent enroute re-charging solution. The existing BYD vehicles have been moved to the Red Line, requiring a new $7.5 million contract for 13 Gillig diesel vehicles for Route 39. In March 2020, the Indiana General Assembly debated a 10% public funding cut for IndyGo, after lawmakers claimed that the corporation was not engaging with 2015 legislation which required it to seek up to 10% of its budget through private funding. Legislators have proposed withholding income tax money and preventing expansion routes until IndyGo meets its 10% funding goal. However, IndyGo CEO Inez Evans responded that the corporation had been unable to officially meet the target due to delays in establishing its foundation, which recently received $35,000 in private investment, and stated that public funding cuts could jeopardize its transit plans. In April 2020, IndyGo announced it was postponing system-wide route changes as part of the Marion County Transit Plan implementation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes would have switched the current hub-and-spoke system to a grid network that would allow for easier transfers across the city. In August 2020, IndyGo initiated a "bus stop balancing" project to eliminate or consolidate 524 redundant or low-boarding bus stops and create 45 new bus stops. The effort is expected to expedite service on high-ridership routes. Construction began on IndyGo's second bus rapid transit project, the Purple Line, on February 25, 2022. Groundbreaking on the third and final bus rapid transit project, the Blue Line, is anticipated in 2024. Julia M. Carson Transit Center The Julia M. Carson Transit Center at 201 E. Washington Street serves routes that transit downtown Indianapolis. Ground was broken for the $26.5 million facility in September 2014. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on June 21, 2016, with formal bus service beginning on June 26, 2016. In addition to IndyGo's Customer Service Retail Center, the center includes free Wi-Fi, public restrooms, a conference room, administrative offices, bus operator lounge, seating, real-time arrival and departure information, 19 bus bays, and of retail space. Of IndyGo's 31 routes, 26 routes offer transfers at the station. The transit center is named for Julia Carson, former U.S. Representative for Indiana's 7th congressional district (1997–2007). During her tenure in Congress, Carson helped secure federal funding for the $26.5 million transit center. Routes IndyGo operates 31 fixed routes with some nearly 3,400 stops; bus frequency varies on the population density along the route. The system carries approximately 10.2 million passengers annually, traveling a total distance of about 9 million miles. While IndyGo provides bus service primarily in Indianapolis, certain IndyGo fixed routes extend south of the city into Johnson County.

In late 2006, IndyGo complemented the Blue Line with the introduction of the Red Line, which runs between Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and downtown, with 15-minute frequency. The Blue Line's ridership declined as federal funding allotted for the route ran out, and the route was discontinued after December 31, 2007. The Red Line remained a free route until January 2009, at which time it became a regularly priced route. The Red Line was retired when the Downtown Transit Center opened, with IUPUI service being covered by Routes 3, 10, and 37, along with 15-minute frequency on Michigan St. and New York St. In the fall of 2007, IndyGo introduced an express route operated by a contractor, using ADA-accessible MCI J4500 motor coaches. The route runs from downtown to the northern suburb of Fishers in Hamilton County, the most populous suburban county of Indianapolis. In March 2008, an additional express route to Carmel (also in Hamilton County) was launched, followed in March 2009 by express service to Greenwood, a southern suburb in Johnson County. These ICE Express Routes to Greenwood, Fishers, and Carmel were discontinued in 2010 after their federal grants expired. Fleet The standard fleet of the Indianapolis Transit System consisted mostly of dark orange/silverside GM Old Look and GM New Look buses; the latter 40-foot coaches were air-conditioned. When it became the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (adopting the Metro name) in 1975, the New Looks became the workhorse of the fleet, with the agency later adding AM General, GM RTS-II series, GMDD Canada New Look, and Orion I buses to the lineup as the New Looks wore out by the mid-1990s. These buses were painted white with brown-gold-brown stripes and the "Metro" name next to the exit door (except for the Canadian New Looks, which sported a bold black top around its windows) up until the change to the IndyGo branding in 1997. By 1986, the buses had three greenish-blue stripes immediately below the windows and the word "Metro" near the front door. From 1997 to 2010, the Phantoms and Low-Floor Coaches were painted white with one large dark green stripe on the right front window and one light green stripe over the first window on the left side. The dome of the newer ones from 2003 and 2007 had it painted in the back. Since 2010, all buses have been painted white and have a sleek blue cap at the top of them, except for the hybrid models, which have green caps. In service Purchased new 2301–2324: 2003 Gillig 40-foot low floor buses. These buses are retired. 2701–2710: 2007 Gillig 40-foot low floor buses.

The Greek Basketball Cup or Hellenic Basketball Cup (also stylized as Basket Cup; Greek: Κύπελλο Ελλάδος καλαθοσφαίρισης ανδρών) is the top-tier level annual professional basketball national cup competition in Greece. It is organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation (E.O.K.). History and format There were no official nation-wide Greek Cup competitions prior to the 1975–76 season. However, there was a precursor tournament to the Greek Cup, called the Attica State Cup, which was won by AEK, in the 1966–67 and 1970–71 seasons. The first official Greek Cup took place during the 1975–76 season. From the 1994–95 to 2003–04 seasons, the Final Four format was used. The competition format currently includes a total of 62 teams; 14 from the top-tier level Greek Basket League, 16 from the 2nd-tier level Greek A2 Basket League, and 32 teams from the third-tier level Greek B Basket League. The top six placed teams from the previous season of the Greek Basket League have an automatic bye to the quarterfinals, while the other eight teams play in preliminary rounds for the other two quarterfinals places. The quarterfinals and onward rounds are played under a single elimination format. Cup winners 1975–76: Olympiacos 1976–77: Olympiacos 1977–78: Olympiacos 1978–79: Panathinaikos 1979–80: Olympiacos 1980–81: AEK 1981–82: Panathinaikos 1982–83: Panathinaikos 1983–84: PAOK 1984–85: Aris 1985–86: Panathinaikos 1986–87: Aris 1987–88: Aris 1988–89: Aris 1989–90: Aris 1990–91: Panionios 1991–92: Aris 1992–93: Panathinaikos 1993–94: Olympiacos 1994–95: PAOK Bravo 1995–96: Panathinaikos 1996–97: Olympiacos 1997–98: Aris Moda Bagno 1998–99: PAOK 1999–00: AEK 2000–01: AEK 2001–02: Olympiacos 2002–03: Panathinaikos 2003–04: Aris 2004–05: Panathinaikos 2005–06: Panathinaikos 2006–07: Panathinaikos 2007–08: Panathinaikos 2008–09: Panathinaikos 2009–10: Olympiacos 2010–11: Olympiacos 2011–12: Panathinaikos 2012–13: Panathinaikos 2013–14: Panathinaikos 2014–15: Panathinaikos 2015–16: Panathinaikos 2016–17: Panathinaikos 2017–18: AEK 2018–19: Panathinaikos 2019–20: AEK 2020–21: Panathinaikos 2021–22: Olympiacos 2022–23: Olympiacos Finals Titles by club Titles by city 6 clubs have won the Greek Basketball Cup.

GOAL is an agent programming language for programming cognitive agents. GOAL agents derive their choice of action from their beliefs and goals. The language provides the basic building blocks to design and implement cognitive agents by programming constructs that allow and facilitate the manipulation of an agent's beliefs and goals and to structure its decision-making. The language provides an intuitive programming framework based on common sense or practical reasoning. Overview The main features of GOAL include: Declarative beliefs: Agents use a symbolic, logical language to represent the information they have, and their beliefs or knowledge about the environment they act upon in order to achieve their goals. This knowledge representation language is not fixed by GOAL but, in principle, may be varied according to the needs of the programmer. Declarative goals: Agents may have multiple goals that specify what the agent wants to achieve at some moment in the near or distant future. Declarative goals specify a state of the environment that the agent wants to establish, they do not specify actions or procedures how to achieve such states. Blind commitment strategy: Agents commit to their goals and drop goals only when they have been achieved. This commitment strategy, called a blind commitment strategy in the literature, is the default strategy used by GOAL agents. Cognitive agents are assumed to not have goals that they believe are already achieved, a constraint which has been built into GOAL agents by dropping a goal when it has been completely achieved. Rule-based action selection: Agents use so-called action rules to select actions, given their beliefs and goals. Such rules may underspecify the choice of action in the sense that multiple actions may be performed at any time given the action rules of the agent. In that case, a GOAL agent will select an arbitrary enabled action for execution. Policy-based intention modules: Agents may focus their attention and put all their efforts on achieving a subset of their goals, using a subset of their actions, using only knowledge relevant to achieving those goals. GOAL provides modules to structure action rules and knowledge dedicated to achieving specific goals. Informally, modules can be viewed as policy-based intentions in the sense of Michael Bratman. Communication at the knowledge level: Agents may communicate with each other to exchange information, and to coordinate their actions. GOAL agents communicate using the knowledge representation language that is also used to represent their beliefs and goals. Testing: You can also write tests for GOAL. GOAL agent program A GOAL agent program consists of six different sections, including the knowledge, beliefs, goals, action rules, action specifications, and percept rules, respectively. The knowledge, beliefs and goals are represented in a knowledge representation language such as Prolog, Answer set programming, SQL (or Datalog), or the Planning Domain Definition Language, for example. Below, we illustrate the components of a GOAL agent program using Prolog. The overall structure of a GOAL agent program looks like: main: <agentname> { <sections> } The GOAL agent code used to illustrate the structure of a GOAL agent is an agent that is able to solve Blocks world problems. The beliefs of the agent represent the current state of the Blocks world whereas the goals of the agent represent the goal state. The knowledge section listed next contains additional conceptual or domain knowledge related to the Blocks world domain. knowledge{ block(a), block(b), block(c), block(d), block(e), block(f), block(g). clear(table). clear(X) :- block(X), not(on(Y,X)). tower([X]) :- on(X,table). tower([X,Y\|T]) :- on(X,Y), tower([Y\|T]). } Note that all the blocks listed in the knowledge section reappear in the beliefs section again as the position of each block needs to be specified to characterize the complete configuration of blocks. beliefs{ on(a,b), on(b,c), on(c,table), on(d,e), on(e,table), on(f,g), on(g,table). } All known blocks also are present in the goals section which specifies a goal configuration which reuses all blocks. goals{ on(a,e), on(b,table), on(c,table), on(d,c), on(e,b), on(f,d), on(g,table). } A GOAL agent may have multiple goals at the same time. These goals may even be conflicting as each of the goals may be realized at different times. For example, an agent might have a goal to watch a movie in the movie theater and to be at home (afterwards). In GOAL, different notions of goal are distinguished. A primitive goal is a statement that follows from the goal base in conjunction with the concepts defined in the knowledge base. For example, tower([a,e,b]) is a primitive goal and we write goal(tower([a,e,b]) to denote this. Initially, tower([a,e,b]) is also an achievement goal since the agent does not believe that a is on top of e, e is on top of b, and b is on the table. Achievement goals are primitive goals that the agent does not believe to be the case and are denoted by a-goal(tower([a,e,b]). It is also useful to be able to express that a goal has been achieved. goal-a(tower([e,b]) is used to express, for example, that the tower [e,b] has been achieved with block e on top of block b. Both achievement goals as well as the notion of a goal achieved can be defined: a-goal(formula) ::= goal(formula), not(bel(formula)) goal-a(formula) ::= goal(formula), bel(formula) There is a significant literature on defining the concept of an achievement goal in the agent literature (see the references). GOAL is a rule-based programming language. Rules are structured into modules. The main module of a GOAL agent specifies a strategy for selecting actions by means of action rules. The first rule below states that moving block X on top of block Y (or, possibly, the table) is an option if such a move is constructive, i.e. moves the block in position. The second rule states that moving a block X to the table is an option if block X is misplaced. main module{ program{ if a-goal(tower([X,Y\|T])), bel(tower([Y\|T])) then move(X,Y). if a-goal(tower([X\|T])) then move(X,table). } } Actions, such as the move action used above, are specified using a STRIPS-style specification of preconditions and postconditions. A precondition specifies when the action can be performed (is enabled). A postcondition specifies what the effects of performing the action are. actionspec{ move(X,Y) { pre{ clear(X), clear(Y), on(X,Z), not(X=Y) } post{ not(on(X,Z)), on(X,Y) } } Finally, the event module consists of rules for processing events such as percepts received from the environment. The rule below specifies that for all percepts received that indicate that block X is on block Y, and X is believed to be on top of Z unequal to Y, the new fact on(X,Y) is to be added to the belief base and the atom on(X,Z) is to be removed. event module{ program{ forall bel( percept(on(X,Y)), on(X,Z), not(Y=Z) ) do insert(on(X,Y), not(on(X,Z))). } } Related agent programming languages The GOAL agent programming language is related to but different from other agent programming languages such as AGENT0, AgentSpeak, 2APL, Golog, JACK Intelligent Agents, Jadex, and, for example, Jason. The distinguishing feature of GOAL is the concept of a declarative goal. Goals of a GOAL agent describe what an agent wants to achieve, not how to achieve it. Different from other languages, GOAL agents are committed to their goals and only remove a goal when it has been completely achieved. GOAL provides a programming framework with a strong focus on declarative programming and the reasoning capabilities required by cognitive agents.

Etienne-Marie-Alphonse Sonnois, born in Lamargelle (Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye) in the Côte-d'Or in eastern France, died in Cambrai within the Hauts-de-France region on the Scheldt river, was a French Catholic bishop, bishop of Saint-Dié from 1889 to 1893 then archbishop of Cambrai de 1893 to 1913. Early life Born to a doctor father named François who joined Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye when Sonnois was still very young, he belongs to a family which gave several of his children to the Church. His brother Joseph-Emile-Alphonse, born on December 20, 1830 graduated from École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr and after taking part in numerous battles including the Crimean War, he became head general of the 16th Dividion of the Infantry and was later named Commandeur of the Légion D'Honneur on December 28, 1889. Another brother, Gustave-Eugène, was commander of the 6th brigade of infantry (Beauvais and Amiens) and was made Officier of the Légion D'Honneur on July 5, 1888. Priesthood He was ordained a priest on October 3, 1852, for the diocese of Dijon. He first taught philosophy at the Grand Seminary of Dijon, then he was appointed pastor in various parishes of the diocese: Jouey, Santenay, then Auxonne. Bishop of Saint-Dié Appointed Bishop of Saint-Dié on December 21, 1889, Mgr Sonnois received the canonical investiture of Pope Leo XIII on December 30 of the same year. He was consecrated bishop on March 19, 1890, by the future cardinal Victor-Lucien-Sulpice Lécot, then bishop of Dijon. He entered Saint-Dié on April 16, 1890. Sonnois was described as a discreet and benevolent man who strived to visit his entire diocese. However, he had to face difficulties with the government following the opposition of his vicars general to Minister Jules Ferry, elected from Saint-Dié. He relaunched the work of the Jeanne-d'Arc church at the in Domrémy and encouraged pilgrimages there by entrusting the church to the Eudists (Congregation of Jesus and Mary) who collected the necessary funds throughout France for the continued construction of the future basilica. Archbishop of Cambrai By decree of November 26, 1892, Mgr Sonnois was appointed Archbishop of Cambrai, he received the canonical investiture of the Holy See on January 19, 1893. He had to face in his new diocese the opposition between a powerful patronage and priests attentive to workers' misery and marked by social Catholicism, the most famous of which was Father Jules Auguste Lemire, deputy for Hazebrouck. Sonnois' pastoral activity led him to crown Notre-Dame de Grâce in Cambrai and Notre-Dame du Saint-Cordon in Valenciennes. He also built the Joan of Arc school in Lille, led the foundation of the École Saint-Joseph in Solesmes and founded the Notre-Dame de Grâce college in Cambrai. Deeply marked by the application of the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State, he gradually lost his faculties and left the administration of his diocese to Bishop , coadjutor since 1906. He died on February 7, 1913.

"Now You're in Heaven" is a song written by Julian Lennon and John McCurry, recorded by Lennon and released as the lead single from his third studio album, Mr. Jordan (1989), on which the song appears as the opening track. A David Bowie-inspired song, it was the highest-charting single released from the album, topping the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and reaching 5 in Australia. It was certified gold in the latter country by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of over 35,000 units. Background and recording "Now You're in Heaven" was recorded at the Johnny Yuma Recording studio in Los Angeles, California. It was produced by Patrick Leonard, who also performed keyboards and programmed drums on the track. The song along with the album was mixed at Skip Saylor Recording studios and mastered at Precision Mastering in Los Angeles. The song features guitars inspired by hard rock of the early-1970s and marked a shift in Julian Lennon's musical style from mainstream pop to heavier rock. Lennon's deep vocals drew comparisons to David Bowie, whilst the guitars drew comparisons to the Who. The song contains a dialogue sample of actor Robert Montgomery as Joe Pendleton in the film Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), for which the album Mr. Jordan is named. The line is "I've never seen anything as beautiful as that, even in heaven." Release "Now You're in Heaven" was first released as the lead single from Mr. Jordan on 20 February 1989 in the United Kingdom by Virgin Records; in the United States it was released through Atlantic Records. The single was released in 12-inch, 7-inch, CD, and cassette format internationally. The European CD single includes a re-release of Lennon's 1984 hit "Too Late for Goodbyes", originally from his debut album, Valotte. The cover art for the single was photographed by Timothy White. William Orbit produced a house remix of the song for its US 12-inch single release, known as the "In Orbit Mix"; a more rock-based remix by Orbit was released on the European CD single release with the subtitle "Orbit Mix". The B-side to the single in most releases is "Second Time", a song co-written by Justin Clayton and Lennon and featuring guest musician Peter Frampton on guitar. The Mexican promotional 7-inch vinyl contains "Angillette", written by Lennon and John McCurry, a ballad in which the narrator addresses his suicidal lover. Reception In People, the reviewers wrote of the track that it "swaggers while it rocks. It's a song with a cocky gunslinger's attitude". Cash Box called it "a tough-edged rocker goes for the jugular, a departure for Lennon." Music video A music video was produced for "Now You're in Heaven" to promote the album, directed by Tony Kaye and filmed in London. It features Julian Lennon as a ventriloquist, singing the song with a dummy for a scarcely-populated theatre, whose patrons show signs of boredom and are falling asleep. After the performance, Lennon sits in the now empty theatre and applauds himself.

Frank Octavius Mancuso (May 23, 1918 – August 4, 2007) was an American professional baseball player and, served as a Houston City Council member for 30 years after his sports career had ended. He played as a catcher in Major League Baseball from to , most notably as a member of the only St. Louis Browns team to win an American League pennant in . Listed at , 195 lb., Mancuso batted and threw right-handed. Baseball career Born in Houston, Texas, Mancuso began playing baseball in 1937 in the minor league system of the New York Giants. After hitting .417 for Fort Smith in 1938, the Giants moved him up to their major league roster for the entire 1939 season as a third string catcher, but he did not get into a single game during the regular season. That disappointment was offset by the opportunity he had to warm up pitcher Carl Hubbell, and sharing the company of other great Giants like OF Mel Ott and manager Bill Terry. He was sent back to the minors before the 1940 season. After hitting .300 or more in three minor league seasons, Mancuso entered the U.S. Army as a paratrooper at Fort Benning, Georgia in December 1942 and was on his way to an accident that forever altered the course of his baseball career. In 1943, he suffered a broken back and leg when his chute opened late and improperly. He almost died from his injuries and was subsequently discharged from the service for medical reasons. A part of his injury was an unfortunate condition for a catcher, where in looking straight up caused him to lose the flow of oxygen to the brain, and he would pass out. As a result, he never regained all of his mobility after the parachute jump and was never responsible for catching pop-ups. Mancuso spent the rest of his life with back and legs pains, but he worked himself back into shape and returned to baseball in 1944 as one of two catchers for the only St. Louis Browns club to ever win an American League pennant. He shared duties with Red Hayworth, hitting .205 with a home run and 24 RBI in 88 games. The Browns lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1944 World Series in six games, but Mancuso hit .667 (2-for-3) and collected one RBI in injury-limited pinch-hitting duty. His most productive season came in 1945, when he posted career-numbers in games (119), batting average (.268), RBI (38) and runs (39). In 1946 he hit .240 with a career-high three home runs in 87 games. He played his last major-league season with the Washington Senators in 1947 at the age of 29. From 1948 to 1955, Mancuso earned further respect as a catcher for top minor league clubs like Toledo and Beaumont, among others, and with the 1953 Houston Buffs, a minors club that preceded the Colt .45s / Astros. He also played winter baseball in the Venezuelan League during the 1950–51 and 1951–52 seasons. In his first season, he hit .407 with 49 RBI and also became the first player in the league to hit 10 home runs in a 42-game schedule. In a four-year major league career, Mancuso played in 337 games, accumulating 241 hits in 1,002 at bats for a .241 career batting average along with 5 home runs, 98 runs batted in and a .314 on-base percentage. He posted a .987 fielding percentage as a catcher. In his 17-year minor league career, he played in 1,267 games, accumulating 1,087 hits in 3,936 at bats for a .276 career batting average along with 128 home runs. Political career After baseball retirement, Mancuso served for 30 consecutive years (1963–93) on the Houston City Council. In the late 1990s, Harris County built the Frank Mancuso Sports Complex, a facility that strategically reaches out to the needs of inner city kids, in his honor. The Mancuso Neighborhood Library is also named after him. His 2003 induction into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame reunited him with his older brother, Gus Mancuso (1905–1984), as the second member of the family to be inducted. Mancuso died in Pasadena, Texas at the age of 89. His older brother, Gus Mancuso, also played in Major League Baseball as a catcher.

Doris Jane Sams (February 2, 1927 – June 28, 2012), nicknamed "Sammye", was an American outfielder and pitcher who played from through in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at , 145 lbs., she batted and threw right-handed. Early life A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Doris was the only daughter of Robert and Pauline Sams. She grew up in a home where baseball was considered of vital importance. Her grandfather was a semi-professional hurler who taught her how to pitch, while her father was a semi-professional center fielder who taught her how to catch and field. Athletically inclined, she started playing sports at an early age with the assistance of her brothers Paul and Robert Jr. She started playing softball with older girls in 1938 when she was 11, helping her softball team win the state championship in seven of the next eight years, and representing Tennessee in a national tournament in 1941. She later played for the Nelson's Cafe club, until the Pepsi Cola Company bought it. She stayed with the Pepsi Cola team until 1946, winning three championships with them before starting her career in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. AAGPBL career At age 19, Sams entered the AAGPBL in 1946 with the expansion Muskegon Lassies. She had an auspicious debut, hitting a .276 batting average with 15 runs scored and nine runs driven home in 42 games. As an underhand pitcher, she posted an 8–9 record with a 3.78 earned run average in 25 pitching appearances, while her average was seventh best in the league for players with 100 or more at-bat (she went 29-for-106). Muskegon, with Buzz Boyle at the helm, placed sixth in the eight-team league with a 46–66 record. The first AAGPBL spring training outside the United States was held in 1947 in Havana, Cuba, as part of a plan to create an International League of Girls Baseball. Sams was one of two hundred players to attend the new training camp, in a Lassies team now managed by legendary Bill Wambsganss. The team included talented players as shortstop Dorothy Stolze and pitchers Amy Applegren and Nancy Warren, between others. That season the league made the transition from underhand to full side-arm pitching. Sams exploded in her sophomore season, to become one of the leading all-around players in the circuit. She finished with a .280 average, the third-highest among regulars, and collected nine doubles, five triples, 41 RBI and 31 runs in 107 games. She also pitched 19 games, going 11–4 with a low 0.93 ERA and a significant .733 winning percentage, allowing 26 runs (15 earned) while striking out 34 and walking 28. She was second only to Mildred Earp of the Grand Rapids Chicks, who posted a 20–8 record (.714) and a 0.68 ERA in 35 games. In addition, Sams ended 7th in total bases (116), tied for 9th in hits (97), and tied for 7th in RBI. But her great highlight came on August 18 of the 1947 season, when she collected her eleventh victory by pitching a perfect game, defeating the strong Fort Wayne Daisies, 2–0. Sams earned the Player of the Year Award and made her first All-Star Team as an outfielder and pitcher that year, becoming the only player in AAGPBL history to be so honored. Muskegon went on to win the regular season title with a 69–43 record, but failed to the Racine Belles in the first round. In 1948 the AAGPBL expanded to a historical peak of ten teams divided into Eastern and Western Divisions, and made the switch from side-arm to overhand pitching. On July 12, Sams opened the year by hurling a 3–0 no-hitter against the Springfield Sallies, one of the league's two new clubs, along with the Chicago Colleens. One evening later, she helped beat the Sallies 6–5, going 3-for-4, including a two-run homer, a single and an RBI triple. Then, the next day she pitched a one-hitter, 3–1 victory against South Bend, and contributed with two hits and one RBI. But Sams never really made the adjustment to the new style pitching, finishing with an 18–10 mark and a 1.54 ERA. Nevertheless, she enjoyed a productive season as a hitter, collecting a .257 average (9th in the league) after going 105-for-409. She also scored 105 runs, slugged six doubles, seven triples and three home runs, recording career-best numbers with 59 RBI and 117 games played. Thanks in part to her timely hitting, Muskegon finished second in the Eastern Division with a record of 66–57 and advanced to the playoffs, only to be beaten by the Fort Wayne Daisies in the first round. Unfortunately, Sams was overlooked for the All-Star Team, being surpassed by Kenosha Comets center fielder and Player of the Year Audrey Wagner, who won the batting title with a .312 average, and belted four homers with 70 runs and 56 RBI. Wagner was the only girl to hit over .300 in that season, ending 23 points ahead of runner-up Connie Wisniewski. As hurlers adapted to the new pitching style, batting averages declined even more during the 1949 season. Sams won the batting crown with a .279 mark, as she repeated as Player of the Year to become the first player in the league to twice win player of the year honors. She won the batting title race by a single point over Wisniewski and led the circuit with 114 hits (one more hit than Wisniewski), but was not among the leaders in any other offensive category. As a pitcher, Sams had a 15–10 mark with a 1.58 ERA and finished 8th in ERA, tied for 7th in wins and tied for 8th in shutouts. On July 14 of that season, she hurled a one-hitter, 3–1 victory against South Bend and helped herself with two hits and one RBI. Then, on August 19 she defeated again South Bend on a three-hit shutout, 2–0, while hitting a single with a run scored. All pitchers were led by Jean Faut of the South Bend Blue Sox, who went 24–8 with 120 strikeouts a 1.58 ERA, and Lois Florreich of the Rockford Peaches, who posted a 22–7 record with 210 strikeouts (a league high) and a minuscule 0.67 ERA, to set an all-time season record for lowest ERA in the league's history. Sams made the All-Star Team for a second time while Muskegon, managed by Carson Bigbee, had a fifth-best record of 46–66 and advanced to the playoffs. The Belles took the first round from Kenosha but were swept in the semi-finals by South Bend. The AAGPBL used a livelier ball in 1950. As a result, offensive levels augmented significantly in all cases with more hits, scoring more runs and hitting four times as many home runs as they did in previous seasons. That year, Sams began a string of four consecutive seasons with a batting average over .300. She finished 5th in the batting race with a .301 average, was 3rd in slugging (.419), and tied for 5th in home runs (4). It was the last season she pitched on a regular basis, going 12–13 with a 2.60 ERA, as she made her third All-Star Team. During the midseason, poor attendance in Muskegon forced the movement of the struggling Lassies to Kalamazoo, Michigan. The change of scenery did not help, as the now Kalamazoo Lassies finished in the cellar with the worst record of the league (36-73-2). Bonnie Baker, catcher for South Bend early in the season, joined the Kalamazoo team as player-manager in a short stint for her, because the following year the league passed a rule banning female managers. In 1951, Sams allowed 13 hits and 11 runs in her final three innings of work on the mound, though her offensive production remained consistent. She ranked 6th in average (.306) and 9th in total bases (135), tying for 4th in doubles (16) and for 8th in hits (109). She added two homers, 40 runs and 33 RBI in 97 games, and also earned a fourth selection to the All-Star Team. The Lassies posted a measly record of 34–75 and finished in 7th place (out of 8th in the league). Sams enjoyed a career-season in 1952, when she led the circuit with 12 home runs and finished third in average (.314) in 109 games. She also was second in hits (128), doubles (25) and total bases (195), and ended third in RBI (57) in her last year as an All-Star Team, while Kalamazoo finished 5th of six teams with a 49–60 record. During a double-header sweep of Grand Rapids in June, she homered in both games, including a two-run blast in a four-hit, 3–0 shutout by Ruth Williams in game one, and a solo homer in a seven-hit, 2–1 victory of Gloria Cordes in the nightcap. With her 12 dingers, Sams broke the league's all-time home run record of 10 set in 1943 by Racine's Eleanor Dapkus. That mark would be eclipsed in 1954 by Fort Wayne's Joanne Weaver, when she hit 29 home runs during what turned out to be the league's final season. In 1953 Sams played her last season in the AAGPBL. She appeared in 46 games and hit .312 (54-for-173), including 23 runs, seven extrabases and 22 RBI. In an eight-year career, Sams was a .290 hitter in 271 games and posted a 64–47 record with a 2.16 ERA as a pitcher. Batting statistics Life after baseball Following her baseball career, Sams returned home and accepted a good job offer as computer operator for the Knoxville Utility Board, where she worked for 25 years, retiring in 1979. Sams, who never married, was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1970 and the Knoxville Hall of Fame in 1982. She also is part of the AAGPBL permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York, opened in 1988, which is dedicated to the entire league rather than any individual player. Sams died on June 28, 2012, aged 85. She was inducted into *National Women's Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012.

Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me is a book by Ron Miscavige and Dan Koon published in 2016 in the United States and United Kingdom. It presents the personal account of Ron Miscavige's almost five decades in the Church of Scientology, the rise of his son David Miscavige to the church's top leadership role, his decision to leave the church, his escape in 2012, and the aftermath. Background St. Martin's Press, the book's US publisher, describes it as "a riveting insider's look at life within the world of Scientology" which tells the story of "David Miscavige's childhood and his path to the head seat of the Church of Scientology told through the eyes of his father." According to the UK publisher, "Ron [Miscavige] traces the arc of David's life from his early years to David's eventual, stellar rise to power in Scientology; his brutal approach to running the organisation today; and the disastrous effects that his leadership has had on countless numbers of Scientologists and their families." Ruthless tells of how Ron Miscavige and his family joined Scientology in 1971, living for a while in the UK, before moving back to the US. By the age of 16, his son David had become a confidante of Scientology's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and had joined the inner core of the church, the Sea Org. He took over the leadership of Scientology when Hubbard died in 1986. In 2012, after gaining access to the full Internet via Kindle, Ron Miscavige discovered new information about the church and subsequently left the Church of Scientology. The Los Angeles Times reported that he was put under surveillance by the Church, which was said to have paid two private investigators to watch him around the clock for 18 months at a cost of $10,000 a week. The surveillance was said to have been "all because [David] Miscavige feared that his father would divulge too much about the organisation's activities." At one point, the investigators were said to have phoned David Miscavige when they thought his father was having a heart attack and were allegedly told not to intervene: "if it was Ron's time to die, to let him die and not intervene in any way". David Miscavige denied having ordered the surveillance or speaking to one of the investigators. The incident prompted Ron Miscavige to write the book. According to Tony Ortega, a journalist and writer on Scientology, Ruthless was originally titled If He Dies, He Dies in reference to the "heart attack" incident. The book is the second memoir to have been published by one of David Miscavige's relatives, after his niece Jenna Miscavige Hill published Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape in 2012. Reception The release of the book was preceded by an interview with Ron Miscavige on ABC News' long-running news show 20/20, broadcast on April 29, 2016. In response, Church of Scientology International sent a statement to ABC News criticizing Ron Miscavige and extolling David Miscavige. In March 2017, Ron Miscavige was the guest on The Thinking Atheist podcast where he was interviewed by host Seth Andrews. Miscavige discussed this book in detail, and elaborated on his escape from Scientology. Miscavige also appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on April 18, 2017, for an interview about his life in Scientology as detailed in this book. Thomas C. Tobin of the Tampa Bay Times reviewed the book, writing that the author "describ[es] his son as a tyrant who has turned the organization into a destructive influence." Tobin wrote that Ron Miscavige said the church had "morphed into an immoral organization that hides a long list of abuses behind First Amendment protections, spends millions to investigate and harass its critics, and has destroyed families — including his own — through its practice of disconnection." The Church of Scientology threatened to sue both the US and UK publishers, alleging that the book contained "malicious, false, misleading and highly defamatory allegations". Humfrey Hunter, the owner of Silvertail Books, told The Guardian that he was "definitely going ahead [with publishing] — there's no question. I'm very confident that if they were to sue, we would be able to successfully defend the book and its content." Ron Miscavige Ron Miscavige got into Scientology in 1969, and in 1985 moved to Scientology's Gold Base where he composed music for church albums and promotional materials. After leaving Scientology in 2012, Miscavige lived in the Milwaukee area with his wife, Becky Bigelow, and played trumpet with several local bands. Miscavige died in 2021 at the age of 85.

Japan–Thailand relations refer to bilateral relations between Japan and Thailand. Contacts had an early start with Japanese trade on Red seal ships and the installation of Japanese communities on Siamese soil, only to be broken off with Japan's period of seclusion. Contacts resumed in the 19th century and developed to the point where Japan is today one of Thailand's foremost economic partners. Thailand and Japan share the distinction of never having lost sovereignty to the European powers during the colonial period, and both countries were Axis partners during the later part of World War II. First contacts As early as 1593, Siamese chronicles record that the Siamese king Naresuan had 500 Japanese soldiers in his army when he defeated Phra Maha Uparaja, the Burmese Crown Prince, in a battle on elephant-back. In December 1605, John Davis, the famous English explorer, was killed by Japanese pirates off the coast of Siam (Thailand), thus becoming the first Englishman to be killed by a Japanese. Red seal trade Around 56 Red seal ships to Siam are recorded between 1604 and 1635. By around 1620, the trade between Siam and Japan was larger than the total trade of Siam with all other nations. A Japanese colony was established in Siam. The colony was active in trade, particularly in the export of deer-hide and sappan wood to Japan in exchange for Japanese silver and Japanese handicrafts (swords, lacquered boxes, high-quality papers). From Siam, Japan was interested in purchasing Chinese silks, as well as deerskins and ray or shark skins (used to make a sort of shagreen for Japanese sword handles and scabbards). The Japanese were noted by the Dutch for challenging the trade monopoly of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), as their strong position with the King of Siam typically allowed them to buy at least 50% of the total production, leaving small quantities of a lesser quality to other traders. The king of Siam sent numerous embassies to Japan: in 1621, an embassy led by Khun Pichitsombat and Khun Prasert, in 1623 by Luang Thongsamut and Khun Sawat, and in 1626 by Khun Raksasittiphon. Letters from King Songtham praise the relationship between the two countries: The shōgun responded in similar terms: Japanese community in Siam The Japanese quarters of Ayutthaya were home to about 1,500 Japanese inhabitants (some estimates run as high as 7,000). The community was called Ban Yipun in Thai, and was headed by a Japanese chief nominated by Thai authorities. It seems to have been a combination of traders, Christian converts ("Kirishitan") who had fled their home country to various Southeast Asian countries following the persecutions of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and unemployed former samurai who had been on the losing side at the battle of Sekigahara. Padre António Francisco Cardim recounted having administered sacrament to around 400 Japanese Christians in 1627 in the Thai capital of Ayuthaya ("a 400 japoes christaos") There were also Japanese communities in Ligor and Patani. The Japanese colony was highly valued for its military expertise, and was organized under a "Department of Japanese Volunteers" (Krom Asa Yipun) by the Thai king. Contacts with other communities were not always smooth: in 1614, men of the English East India Company killed eight Japanese in a fight in the city of Ayutthaya. Yamada Nagamasa (1612–1630) A Japanese adventurer, Yamada Nagamasa, became very influential and ruled part of the kingdom of Siam (Thailand) during that period. He settled in the kingdom of Ayutthaya (modern-day Thailand) from around 1612 and became the ruler of the Nakhon Si Thammarat province in southern Thailand. William Adams (1614 and 1615) The English adventurer William Adams (1564–1620) who was based in Japan, led several trading ventures between Japan and Siam. Tenjiku Tokubei (1627–1630) The Japanese adventurer and writer Tenjiku Tokubei (1612c. 1692) (Jp:天竺徳兵衛) visited China, Vietnam and Siam on board a Japanese Red Seal ship. Tokubei would stay for some time in Siam and again visit the country on board one of the ships of the Dutch adventurer Jan Joosten van Lodensteijn and returned with great wealth and numerous stories to tell. Limitation of relations between Siam and Japan Following Yamada's death in 1630, the new ruler and usurper king of Siam Prasat Thong (1630–1655) sent an army of 4000 soldiers to destroy the Japanese settlement in Ayutthaya, but many Japanese managed to flee to Cambodia. A few years later in 1633, returnees from Indochina were able to re-establish the Japanese settlement in Ayutthaya (300–400 Japanese). From 1634, the shōgun, informed of these troubles and what he perceived as attacks on his authority, refused to issue further Red Seal ship permits for Siam. Desirous to renew trade however, the king of Siam sent a trading ship and an embassy to Japan in 1636, but the embassies were rejected by the shōgun. Japan was concomitantly closing itself to the world at that time, essentially to protect itself from Christianity, initiating the "Closed Country", or Sakoku, period. The Dutch took over a large part of the lucrative Siam-Japan trade from that time on. Continuing trade More embassies would be sent by Thailand to Japan, in 1656 during the reign of King Chaiyaracha and in 1687 during the reign of King Narai. Although Japan was closing itself to trade (especially with Western countries, except for the Dutch Republic), many Siamese junks continued to visit Japan: between 1647 and 1700 the arrival of around 130 Siamese ships was recorded in Nagasaki. During the reign of Petracha as many as 30 junks are recorded to have left Ayutthaya for Nagasaki, Japan. From 1715, only one Siamese junk per year was allowed, but this was not insignificant compared to what other countries could trade with Japan. Remaining Japanese communities in Siam Japanese communities however remained in Siam, and numerous refugees from the persecutions of Christians in Japan also arrived in the country after the promulgation of Ieyasu's interdiction of Christianity in Japan in 1614. The famous Maria Guyomar de Pinha, wife of the Greek adventurer Constantine Phaulkon, who became one of the most influential men in Siam in the end of the 17th century, was half-Japanese. In the second half of the 17th century, the French catholic missionaries in Siam cared for Annamite Christians and Japanese Christian communities in Siam. Since the Tokugawa shogunate prohibited Japanese people established abroad to return to Japan, essentially as a protective measure against Christianity, the Japanese communities in Siam were gradually absorbed locally. Resumption of contacts (19th century) Relations resumed in the 19th century, with the establishment of the Declaration of Amity and Commerce between Japan and Siam in 26 September 1887, during the reigns of two icons of modernization, king Chulalongkorn in Siam and Emperor Meiji in Japan. Numerous Japanese experts were dispatched to Thailand to help modernize the country, in areas such as law, education and sericulture. World War II: occupation and alliance Siam was allied with Japan during World War II, following numerous pre-war diplomatic exchanges and the beginning of a Japanese invasion of Thailand. The Japanese had won from Phibun a secret verbal promise to support them in an attack on Malaya and Burma. However, the Thai Prime Minister was fickle and he was quite ready to forget this promise if circumstances changed. His government also asked both the British and Americans for guarantees of effective support if Thailand were invaded by Japan. On 8 December 1941, the Japanese invasion of Thailand started at the same time as they invaded Malaya. The Japanese landed about 2,000 troops near Bangkok, and also made landings at Songkla and Prachuab (leading to the Battle of Prachuab Khirikhan). Thai troops initially opposed the Japanese invasion, but five hours after it received the Japanese ultimatum, the Thai cabinet ordered Thai troops to stop firing. A Treaty of alliance was signed between Thailand and Japan on December 21, 1941, and on January 25, 1942 Thailand declared war on the United States and Great Britain But Pridi Phanomyong acting as Regent for the absent King Ananda Mahidol refused to sign the declaration and the Thai ambassador to Washington, Seni Pramoj, refused to deliver it. Seni organized the Seri Thai resistance movement, under direction of Pridi in the regency office. The Japanese then proceeded to invade next door Malaya and Singapore, both of which were British colonies. Thailand helped Japanese forces launch strikes against them. Meanwhile, Japan stationed 150,000 troops on Thai soil. As the war dragged on, the Japanese increasingly dealt with Thailand as a conquered territory rather than as an ally. Though the United States had not officially declared war, on 26 December 1942, US Tenth Air Force bombers based in India launched the first major bombing raid that damaged Bangkok and other targets and caused several thousand casualties. Public opinion and, even more important, the sympathies of the civilian political elite, moved perceptibly against Phibun's alliance with Japan. By March 1944, Phibun was making arrangements with the Chinese Chungking Army in Yunnan to fight against the losing Japanese. Modern times Japan has become again a key trading partner and foreign investor for Thailand. Japan is Thailand's largest supplier, followed by the United States. Since 2005, the rapid ramp-up in export of automobiles of Japanese makes (esp. Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu) has helped to dramatically improve the trade balance, with over 1 million cars produced last year. As such, Thailand has joined the ranks of the world's top ten automobile exporting nations. In 2007, a Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement was signed, aiming at free trade between the two countries after a transition period of 10 years.

The Ella Johnson Memorial Public Library, located in Hampshire, Illinois, serves the approximately 16,000 residents of Hampshire, Burlington, Pingree Grove, in addition to parts of the neighboring areas of Elgin and Huntley. The Library covers a 100 square mile area in Kane County, including the Hampshire Township, plus areas of the Burlington Township, Plato Township, and Rutland Township. The 7,200-square-foot library has a collection of over 49,885 in-house items. The library also has a growing local digital history collection of books, photographs, and historical documents of local importance. The library building includes computers, printers, a fax machine, copiers, a microfilm reader, and a mobile learning lab for computer classes. Wi-fi is also available throughout the building. The library holds computer classes, weekly story times, monthly crafts, teen programs, monthly genealogy meetings, and more. Annual circulation of materials is approximately 27,053 and about 38,000 people visit the library each year. History The Ella Johnson Memorial Public library began in 1936 in a room in the local high school as a Works Progress Administration project, but has moved locations several times since then. In 1942 the library was briefly relocated to the village hall before moving to a former hat shop, thanks to $5,000 donation from Mrs. Bertha Farrell Watts in December 1942. Upon her death, Mrs. Watts left $10,000 for the running of the library, with the condition that it be named for her sister Mrs. Ella Johnson and that the library focus on buying children's books. Two months later, in February 1943, the town elected to make the library into a tax funded village library. In 1951 the library relocated to a new building, offering approximately 5,000 volumes for public circulation. In 1985 a referendum was passed which made the village library a district library to include the communities the libraries currently serves. The library moved to its current location in downtown Hampshire in 1990; the building was dedicated to the director Emily Duchaj, who served the library from 1968 to 1990.

Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe (1860 – 15 November 1885) was a Ugandan Catholic martyr and the majordomo at the court of Mwanga II of Buganda, recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. The Missionaries of Our Lady of Africa came to Uganda in 1879. Balikuddembe was enrolled as a catechumen in the following year and along with Andrew Kaggwa, was baptized by Père Simon Lourdel M.Afr. (Fr. Mapeera) on 30 April 1882. Balikuddembe took the baptismal name of "Joseph". From November 1882 to July 1885 the Catholic missionaries, for reasons of security, abandoned the Ugandan mission and re-located temporarily to the southern end of Lake Victoria. In the absence of the missionaries, Balikuddembe was elected as the leader of the Christians. King Mutesa was succeeded by his eighteen-year-old son, Danieri Mwanga II. Early in his reign, the new king began to crack down on Christian missionaries and converts in his country, and executed the British Anglican bishop James Hannington and his companions on October 29, 1885, ignoring Balikuddembe's pleas to spare the bishop. Godfrey Muwonge attributes this to the influence of Mwanga's Katikkiro (Prime Minister) Mukasa, who sought to control the spread of Christianity in Buganda by eliminating its teachers. As catechumens, the recent converts could no longer engage in activities which they saw as unchristian. Mwanga saw this as insubordination. As Mwanga's senior adviser, Balikuddembe spoke against the killing of the bishop. Mwanga viewed this a disrespectful. After a night-long interview the king condemned Balikuddembe to death. Muwonge says that the Katikkiro Musaka saw to it that the order was carried out before the king could change his mind. On 15 November 1885 Balikuddembe was taken to a place near the Nakivubo river where he was beheaded and his body thrown onto a pile of burning firewood. His duties were assumed by the young catechist Charles Lwanga. Veneration Balikuddembe is remembered as first of the Martyrs of Uganda and is the patron of politicians and chiefs. St. Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe Parish is located in Kisoga. His family Balikuddembe's father was Matia Mulumba from Jinja and his mother was a Mutoro.

A burnt offering in Judaism (, qorban ʿōlā) is a form of sacrifice first described in the Hebrew Bible. As a tribute to God, a burnt offering was entirely burnt on the altar. This is in contrast to other forms of sacrifice (entitled zevach or zevach shelamim), which was partly burnt and most of it eaten in communion at a sacrificial meal. During the First Temple and Second Temple periods, offerings took place forty-five times daily offered on the altar as a burnt animal in the temple in Jerusalem that was completely consumed by fire. The skin of the animal, however, was not burnt but given to the priests respective of their priestly division. These skins are listed as one of the twenty-four priestly gifts in Tosefta Hallah. Etymology The Hebrew noun olah (עֹלָה) occurs 289 times in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. It means "that which goes up [in smoke]". It is formed from the active participle of the verb alah (עָלָה), "to cause to ascend." It was sometimes also called kalil, an associated word found in Leviticus, meaning "entire". Its traditional name in English is "holocaust", and the word olah has traditionally been translated as "burnt offering." The term was translated as holocauston in the Septuagint. Today, some English Bible translations render the word as holocaust, and others translate it as "burnt offering". For example, Exodus a is translated in the New American Bible as Then Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, brought a holocaust and other sacrifices to God, while it is translated in the New International Version as Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God. In classical rabbinical literature, there are several different etymologies given for the term olah, though all agree that it literally translates as (that which) goes up. Some classical rabbis argued that the term referred to ascent of the mind after making the sacrifice, implying that the sacrifice was for atonement for evil thoughts, while others argued that it was a sacrifice to the highest, because it is entirely intended for God. Modern scholars, however, argue that it simply refers to the burning process, as the meat goes up in flames. Hebrew Bible In Biblical narrative The first uses of the olah for burnt offering refer to the sacrifices of Noah "of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar", and to the near-sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham: "offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains". Another burnt-offering is that of Jethro, Moses' father-in-law (). The Nevi'im section of the Hebrew Bible, particularly passages in the Book of Judges, presents the practice of the burnt offering. In the story of Gideon, a slaughter offering of a young goat and unleavened bread is consumed by fire sent from heaven. In the story of Samson's birth, his father, who was intending to make a slaughter offering so that he could give a meal to an angel, is told by the angel to burn it completely instead. Procedure Initially, the burnt-offering was required to be offered on an "altar of earth". After the tabernacle was built, it was specified that the tabernacle's altar be used. The major types of sacrificial offerings, their purpose and circumstances, details of their performance and distributions afterwards are delineated in the Book of Leviticus 1:1-7:38. The animals were required to be "unblemished"; the list of blemishes includes animals "that are blind or broken or maimed, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs". The animals were brought to the north side of the altar, and ritually slaughtered. The animal's blood was carefully collected by a priest and sprinkled on the outside corners of the altar. Unless the animal was a bird, its corpse was flayed, with the skin kept by the priests. The flesh of the animal was divided according to detailed instructions given by the Talmud (Tamid 31), and would then be placed on the wood on the altar (which was constantly on fire due to the large number of sacrifices carried out daily), and slowly burnt. After the flesh (including any horns and goats' beards) had been reduced to ashes, usually the following morning, the ashes were removed by a Kohen, as refuse, and taken to a ritually clean location outside the Temple. The burnt-offering was offered together with a meal offering and a drink offering, whose quantities depended on the variety of animal being offered (bull, ram, sheep, or goat). Occasions The schedule of obligatory sacrifices, including burnt-offerings, appears in the Book of Numbers 28:1-30:1. These include daily offerings, as well as additional offerings for Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, Rosh Hashanah, Passover, Shavuot, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. The sacrificial animals were required to be bulls, rams, goats (as sin offerings) and lambs. A korban olah was also made as a sin offering on the appointment of a priest, on the termination of a Nazirite's vow, after recovery from tzaraath, by a woman after childbirth, after recovery from a state of abnormal bodily discharges, a gentile's conversion to Judaism, or as a voluntary sacrifice, when the sacrificial animal could be a young bull, ram, year-old goat, turtle doves, or pigeons. In Hellenistic Judaism The Septuagint mainly translates the Hebrew olah with the familiar Greek pagan term holocaust, for example in Genesis 22:2 Isaac is to be sacrificed, "as a holocaust" (Greek: εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν). Josephus uses the term both for Abraham and Isaac, but also in relation to the human sacrifice by Ahaz of his son to Baal. The practice is also referenced by Philo, but with significant changes. In Rabbinic Judaism Chazal sources, 3rd-6th century CE, portray the olah form of sacrifice, in which no meat was left over for consumption by the Kohanim, as the greatest form of sacrifice and was the form of sacrifice permitted by Judaism to be sacrificed at the Temple by the Kohanim on behalf of both Jews and non-Jews. The priestly gifts Unless the offering was a bird (olat haof), its corpse was flayed. The skin of the offering was then kept by the priests who were serving their shift as part of the rotation of the priestly divisions. The Tosefta narrates that, as time evolved, more powerful priests forcibly took possession of the skins from the lesser priests. Subsequently, it was decreed by the Beth din shel Kohanim (the court of the priests in Jerusalem) that the skins should be sold, with the monetary proceeds being given to the Temple in Jerusalem (Tosefta 19). Modern scholarship Some passages in the Book of Judges appear to show the development of the principle and practice of whole offerings; in the story of Gideon, a slaughter offering of a young goat and unleavened bread is destroyed when fire sent from heaven consumes it; in the story of Samson's birth, his father, who was intending to make a slaughter offering so that he could give a meal to an angel, is told by the angel to burn it completely instead. Most biblical scholars now generally agree that the intricate details of the whole offering, particularly the types and number of animals on occasion of various feast days, given by the Torah, were of a late origin, as were the intricate directions given in the Talmud. Whole offerings were quite rare in early times, but as the ritual became more fixed and statutory, and the concentration of sacrifice into a single sanctuary (particularly after Josiah's reform) made sacrifices quite distinct from simply killing animals for food, whole offerings gradually rose to great prominence. The burnt offering is believed to have evolved as an extreme form of the slaughter offering, whereby the portion allocated to the deity increased to all of it. In slaughter offerings, the portion allocated to the deity was mainly the fat, the part which can most easily be burnt (fat is quite combustible); scholars believe it was felt that the deity, being aethereal, would appreciate aethereal food more than solid food—the burning of the fatty parts of animals being to produce smoke as a sweet savour for the deity.

Ryan Potter (born September 12, 1995) is an American actor. He made his acting debut as the lead of the Nickelodeon action comedy series Supah Ninjas (2011–2013). As a voice actor, he voiced Hiro Hamada in the animated superhero film Big Hero 6 (2014), its television series sequel (2017–2021) and the Disney+ series Baymax! (2022). Potter also portrayed Gar Logan / Beast Boy on the DC Universe / HBO Max superhero series Titans (2018–2023). Early life Potter was born in Portland, Oregon on September 12, 1995. His mother, Jordanna Potter-Lew, is Jewish American and his father is Japanese. He uses his mother's maiden name. He was raised in Tokyo, Japan, until returning to the United States when he was seven. He was raised by his single mother. Potter's first language was Japanese; however, he is no longer fluent. At the age of eight, he began studying White Tiger kung fu, a discipline which he would continue to pursue throughout his teenage years. Other childhood interests reportedly included baseball, skateboarding, and playing the drums. His stepfather is martial artist and stunt legend James Lew. Career In 2010, Potter began his acting career at the age of 15 when he received a leaflet in his kung fu class announcing Nickelodeon was looking for teenagers to star in a new martial-arts themed program entitled Supah Ninjas. After a few days of considering an acting career, Potter decided to audition, eventually landing the series' lead role of Mike Fukanaga, a typical American teen who discovers he is a descendant from a long line of ninjas. In March 2012, Nickelodeon announced it had renewed Supah Ninjas for a second season. Following the premiere of Supah Ninjas in January 2011, he became one of Nickelodeon's popular young stars, featured in numerous teen magazines and making personal appearances in the network's special Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play and its reboot of Figure It Out, as well as an appearance on its sister network's broadcast of the 2011 TeenNick HALO Awards. In March 2012, Potter began a recurring role on Fred: The Show, portraying Fred's best friend. Potter later voiced Big Hero 6 protagonist Hiro Hamada and reprised his role in the animated series based on the film and Kingdom Hearts III. Potter was also lobbying for the role of Tim Drake and created a concept fight scene using the character's signature bō staff as an audition. He ended the video with a plea to Ben Affleck to cast him as Robin. He was then cast as Beast Boy (or Garfield "Gar" Logan) in Warner Bros.'s live-action Titans series. Since 2020, he has been the voice of wealthy camper Kenji Kon in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. Advocacy In 2011, Potter founded the organization Toy Box of Hope, a charity which holds an annual holiday collection drive for children in homeless shelters and transitional living facilities in the Los Angeles area. During the second annual event in 2012, Potter spoke of the focus of the organization, stating "[W]hat we want to do is provide bedsheets, jackets and toys to [homeless shelters], so these kids are like, 'Wow, someone cares, there's hope.'" In 2012, Potter was reportedly planning to expand Toy Box of Hope to include a "Birthday Party Box" program. In June 2012, Potter became one of the youngest celebrities to lend his voice to California's No H8 Campaign in support of same-sex marriage. When explaining his involvement, 16-year-old Potter stated, "I know what it feels like to be bullied. And I will not tolerate the thought of anyone, for any reason, being bullied. It starts with young people, and it can end with young people. As we learn to embrace our diversity, we become stronger, more tolerant. The differences are beautiful. The differences matter. It's what makes life an adventure."

Clarence Francis Hiskey (1912–1998), born Clarence Szczechowski, was a Soviet espionage agent in the United States. He became active in the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) when he attended graduate school at the University of Wisconsin. He became a professor of chemistry at the University of Tennessee, Columbia University and Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. For a time, Hiskey worked at the Tennessee Valley Authority and the University of Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory, part of the Manhattan Project. He was the father of Nicholas Sand. Metallurgical Laboratory Hiskey joined the Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory in September 1943. In May 1944, a message sent by New York KGB to Moscow Venona project was intercepted and decrypted. The message contained information reporting that Bernard Schuster, member of the CPUSA secret apparatus, working for Soviet intelligence, had traveled to Chicago on the KGB's instructions. The message recorded Schuster's description of those he had come in contact with, including Rose Olsen, and stating Olsen had been meeting with Hiskey on the instructions of the organization. In July, it appears Joseph Katz had been assigned to the Hiskey case. On 28 April 1944, Army counter-intelligence (G-2) observed a meeting between Clarence Hiskey and Soviet Military Intelligence (GRU) officer Arthur Adams. Hiskey was removed from the Manhattan Project by drafting him into the Army, and stationing him in Canada for the duration of the conflict. While en route, Army counter-intelligence officers secretly searched Hiskey's luggage and found seven pages of classified notes taken from the Chicago Metallurgical Lab. When the officers subsequently performed a follow-up search, the notes were no longer with Hiskey. Investigations In 1948, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) established that Hiskey was an active member of the CPUSA and had attempted to recruit other scientists to pass secret atomic data to Soviet intelligence. Congressional investigators concluded: It became obvious that Hiskey had for some time been supplying Adams with secret information regarding atomic research. Immediately after seeing Adams, Hiskey flew to Cleveland, Ohio, where he contacted John Hitchcock Chapin. Chapin, through the urging of Clarence Hiskey, agreed to take over Hiskey's contacts with Adams. Chapin admitted to investigators that Hiskey had told him that Adams was indeed a Soviet agent. Edward Manning was another Chicago Met Lab employee Hiskey attempted to recruit. In testimony before HUAC and Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, Hiskey repeatedly refused to answer questions about his Communist associations and espionage, and in 1950, he was cited for contempt of Congress. Hiskey resigned his position as associate professor of analytical chemistry on the faculty of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and joined the International Biotechnical Corporation, later becoming director of analytical research for Endo Laboratories. McCarthy In June 1953, Hiskey was subpoenaed to testify before the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations. In a closed door session, Hiskey was interrogated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy: Sen. McCarthy: "Were you engaged in atomic energy espionage?" Mr. Hiskey: "I refuse to answer that question." Then after some discussion of the Fifth Amendment, Sen. McCarthy: "That is about as definite proof as we can get here that you were an espionage agent, because if you were not, you would simply say no. That would not incriminate you. The only time it would incriminate you would be if you were an espionage agent. So when you refuse to answer on the ground it would incriminate you, that is telling us you were an agent." Mr. Hiskey: "I don't think you understand the whole purpose of the Fifth Amendment, Senator. That amendment was put into the Constitution to protect the innocent man from just this kind of star chamber proceeding you are carrying on." The proceeding closed with, Ray Cohn: "There is one other question. Can you tell us any names of any Communists working on the Manhattan project?" Mr. Hiskey: "I refuse to answer that question." Sen. McCarthy: "On the grounds of self-incrimination." Mr. Hiskey: "On the grounds it may tend to incriminate me." The subcommittee did not call Hiskey to testify in public. The recommendations on May 27, 1954 of the Personnel Security Board of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission investigation into J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, stated Oppenheimer had been found in the company of "Joseph W. Weinberg and Clarence Hiskey, who were alleged to be members of the Communist Party and to have engaged in espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union." Oppenheimer's security clearance was revoked the following month. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, KGB Archives were made accessible to historian Allen Weinstein and a former KGB officer Alexander Vassiliev. The identification of Hiskey as a Soviet agent cover named RAMSAY which occurs in the Venona papers, corroborated Hiskey's covert relationship with Soviet intelligence.

For the English-born Australian scholar, see Paul Giles (academic). Paul Anthony Giles (born 21 February 1961) is a Welsh former professional footballer and manager. He started his career with his hometown side Cardiff City after joining the club at the age of seven. He made his professional debut at the age of 19 in 1980 and went on to make over 25 appearances for the club in all competitions before being released in 1983 following a brief loan spell at Exeter City. He spent time playing in Holland for Excelsior Rotterdam and SVV before returning to Wales with Newport County and Merthyr Tydfil. He was appointed player-manager of League of Wales side Barry Town in 1995 and led the side to their first title in 1996. He has also managed several other Welsh clubs including Ebbw Vale, Inter Cardiff and Dinas Powys on two occasions. Early life Giles was born in Cardiff to Alan and Maureen Giles. He grew up on Virgil Street in the Grangetown area of the city and attended Courtmead Junior School before moving up to Fitzalan High School. Playing career Giles' older brother David was also a footballer and joined the youth system at their hometown club Cardiff City. After signing as an apprentice, David was offered the chance to bring a friend along with him and he decided to take his younger brother. Despite being only seven years old, Paul impressed enough to be offered a place on the club's youth side. He also continued to play school's football in Division Two West of the Cardiff Schools Trophy and the Stanbury Cup. After twelve years at the club, Giles was handed a senior contract in June 1979 and made his professional debut at the age of 19 on 15 November 1980 in a 3–2 victory over Blackburn Rovers. He scored his first senior goal two months later in a 2–2 draw with Luton Town. On 9 March 1982, Cardiff played a league match against Crystal Palace where Giles' brother David started in the opposition line-up. Having created several chances for Cardiff during the first-half, Palace manager Alan Mullery tasked Billy Gilbert with stopping Giles only for David to offer to take the role. During the second half, as Giles ran at the opposition defence, his brother David fouled him which resulted in Giles suffering damaged ankle ligaments that caused him to be taken off and left him injured for over a month. He later joined Exeter City on loan at the end of the 1982–83 season, making nine appearances and scoring one goal during a 3–0 victory over Chester City. He was released by Cardiff at the end of the season. Following his release, Giles moved to Holland, spending brief periods with Excelsior Rotterdam and SVV. He returned to Wales in 1985 and played for both Newport County and Merthyr Tydfil on two occasions before playing for several teams in the Welsh Premier League. Management In 1995, Giles was appointed player-manager of Welsh Premier League side Barry Town, guiding them to their first league title in 1996 and being named Welsh Premier League Manager of the Season. He moved to Ebbw Vale the following season, helping the side qualify for European competition for two consecutive seasons, and later managed Inter Cardiff after manager George Wood joined the coaching staff at Cardiff City. Taking a joint managerial role with his brother David, he led the side to nine victories in their final ten matches. Giles had a spell as manager of Division Three Dinas Powys and led them to promotion to Division Two. In 2003 with Dinas already confirmed as champions of the division and guaranteed promotion to Division One he resigned, one week after chairman Paul Marks did likewise. Giles later commented that he was "gutted" but had to "stand by the chairman". Giles was appointed manager of Cardiff Grange Quins in 2004. He led the club to the Welsh Premier League in his first season but resigned three months into the following season as the club had begun experiencing financial difficulties after their main sponsor removed backing and chairman David Pinches described Giles as being "mentally and emotionally drained". He took over as manager of South Wales Amateur League side Rhoose in 2012, winning promotion into the Welsh Football League and returned for a second spell with Dinas Powys between 2016 and 2017.

Claudine Clark (born April 26, 1941) is an American R&B musician, best known as the singer and composer of the 1962 hit "Party Lights", which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Career Clark was born in Macon, Georgia, United States, but grew up in Philadelphia, and she began recording in 1958 for the Herald record label, with her debut single, "Angel of Happiness". She was backed on that recording by the Spinners. Clark then moved to New York, but she also found no commercial return from her recording on Gotham Records, before moving to Chancellor Records. Clark then had a hit with her second single for Chancellor, with her self-penned "Party Lights". Originally the B-side of the label's preference for the A-side, "Disappointed", "Party Lights" peaked at No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Clark's follow-ups, "Walk Me Home from the Party" and "Walkin' Through a Cemetery", were commercial failures. She continued to record and compose, including under the alias Joy Dawn for the Swan Records label, but saw no further tangible success.

The low whistle, or concert whistle, is a variation of the traditional tin whistle/pennywhistle, distinguished by its lower pitch and larger size. It is most closely associated with the performances of British and Irish artists such as Tommy Makem, Finbar Furey and his son Martin Furey, Old Blind Dogs, Michael McGoldrick, Riverdance, Lunasa, Donie Keyes, Chris Conway, and Davy Spillane, and is increasingly accepted as a feature of Celtic music. The low whistle is often used for the playing of airs and slow melodies due to its haunting and delicate sound. However, it is also becoming used more often for the playing of jigs, reels and hornpipes from the Irish, Scottish, Manx, Welsh, and English traditions. A reason put forward for this being, it's easier to produce some ornamentation on the whistle, due to the size of the finger holes. The most common low whistle is the "Low D", pitched one octave below the traditional D whistle. A whistle is generally classed as a low whistle if its lowest note is the G above middle C or lower. Whistles higher than this are termed "soprano" or "high" whistles when a distinction is necessary. Low whistles operate on the same principles, and are generally fingered in the same way as traditional pennywhistles although for many, a "piper's grip" may be required due to the distance between the holes. They belong to the same woodwind instrument family of end-blown fipple flutes. Though the tone of this instrument varies subtly among makers, low whistles are generally characterized by a more breathy, flute-like sound than traditional tin whistles. Early history While the precise history of the low whistle is often debated, it is known that various kinds of vertical fipple flutes have existed in antiquity. The fipple flutes developed during the 16th century were the ancestors of today's low whistle, carrying through from early transverse flutes the six-holed design tradition and conical bore shape. They were originally of wooden construction, but the late 17th century saw more extensive use of metals such as brass and nickel. The metal was usually rolled and soldered, and further developments included the use of a tuning slide. These metal vertical flutes were found throughout Ireland, Britain, the Scandinavian peninsula, Canada, and Flanders. The modern low whistle English flute maker and jazz musician Bernard Overton (1930-2008) is credited with producing the first modern low whistle in late 1971, which he made with Finbar Furey after Furey's prized Indian bamboo whistle was destroyed while on tour. Unable to repair it, Overton attempted to produce a metal replica and Finbar and himself spent many hours in the shed at the back of Bernard's house in Rugby, designing, testing and ultimately perfecting the flute. The first few were named the Furey/Overton flute but when Bernard gave up his job to hand make them full-time, they decided to market them as The Overton Flute. The first resulting instrument was essentially an oversized tin whistle made of copper pipe with a wooden plug but was quickly replaced by the aluminium one. While Overton was unsatisfied with its performance, he subsequently refined the design with an all-aluminium construction, producing a whistle in A. Impressed, Finbar requested a G version for his trademark Lonesome Boatman performances. Later, according to Overton, Hence, the expression "Irish low whistle" is not denoting an Irish origin, but just an intensive use of this instrument in Ireland and, because of cultural similarity, in the whole British archipelago. While before long several notable instrument makers were producing low whistles, it is usually the Riverdance tour of the 1990s that is credited with giving the low whistle commercial exposure and recognition outside traditional music circles. Of particular note is Davy Spillane, whose work in fusing the sound of traditional instruments such as the low whistle with modern jazz or RnB, for example, has done much for the instrument's visibility. Some of the most famous low whistle players are: Michael McGoldrick, Kevin Crawford, Phil Hardy from England, Davy Spillane, Paddy Keenan, John McSherry (musician) from Ireland, Brian Finnegan from Northern Ireland, Fred Morrison, Rory Campbell (musician), Tony Hinnigan, and Ross Ainslie from Scotland. In rock music, the multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley occasionally plays a low whistle with the symphonic metal band Nightwish. In British and Irish culture and traditional music Unlike the regular pennywhistle, the low whistle is a relative newcomer to folk music, and some criticise it for attempting to fill a musical role already well served by the tin whistle and Irish flute. To others it is viewed as a "transition instrument" for players seeking to eventually learn the seemingly more prestigious (and expensive) flute or uilleann pipes. While it is true that many skills learnt on the low whistle carry over to these instruments, "some of the greatest players of traditional music have been associated with the low whistle" and have helped foster its reputation as a highly versatile and respected instrument in its own right, with a unique and evocative sound. Much like the Irish flat-backed bouzouki, the low whistle can be seen as a product of a period when experiments in instrumentation were commonplace in traditional music, and musicians sought diverse and innovative means of expression.

Christopher R. Gehrke (February 21, 1966 – May 7, 1991) was a race driver on the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) circuit. Career Chris first began racing in open wheeled cars, winning the 1988 Spokane Grand Prix and finishing third in the SCCA Star Mazda Series. That same year, Chris also ran a couple of ARCA races in rented Bill Venturini Chevrolets. In 1989, Gehrke campaigned for rookie of the year honors in ARCA, finishing a close second, behind Graham Taylor in rookie points, and finishing seventh in the final driver standings. In 1990, Gehrke improved his performance in ARCA, finishing fourth in the season with five top-five finishes and eleven top-ten finishes. His best finish of the season was second at Toledo Speedway. Chris also proved that he could run on the bigger tracks, with fourth-place finishes at Atlanta and Pocono. Death On the 67th lap of the 1991 Poulan Pro 500K at Talladega, Chris Gehrke spun in the tri-oval and flipped several times and hitting the outside wall before sliding to a halt. Several seconds later, the car of Carl Miskotten, Jr. hit Gehrke's car behind the left rear tire at nearly full speed. Gehrke suffered serious head injuries and was transported to the Carraway Methodist Medical Center where he would die 3 days later at 10:25 AM in the neuro-intensive care unit. Miskotten Jr. suffered serious head and internal injuries due to the collision with Chris Gehrke and he was also transported to the same medical center, where doctors would stabilize his condition. Two other drivers that were also involved in the wreck, Mike Davis and Bobby Massey, were shaken up in the crash, both would be examined and released at the infield medical center.

Elisabeth (Beth) Gwinn is a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Gwinn was the first woman to join the Physics faculty at UCSB. Gwinn's research team explores topics at the intersection of nanoscience, biology, and optics. She is particularly well known for her work on silver nanoclusters and bimolecular-stabilized derivatives thereof. Gwinn is a prominent advocate for boosting diverse representation in the field of physics. She has been an advocate for increasing accessibility to STEM careers more generally through mentorship opportunities for public school students in the United States at the elementary and high-school levels. Education, career, and research Gwinn received her B.A. from Swarthmore (1982). She went on to receive her Ph.D. in Physics Harvard University in 1987 with Robert Westervelt where her thesis was on "Quasiperiodicity and Frequency Locking in Electrical Conduction in Germanium". Her graduate studies were distinguished by her investigations of electronic transport in germanium. She then continued to execute studies in the areas of experimental condensed matter physics, however switched focus and expanded in diversity with respect to her choice of experimental system. Her post-graduate research topics included contributions to the study of complex heterostructures and interfaces with a focus on the study of 2D electron gases. Around 2008, Gwinn switched the focus of her research to the study and preparation of solution-phase colloidal nanosystems in aqueous environments and passivated by biomolecules. This was also a particularly drastic shift with respect to the nature of her experiment which became predominantly focused in spectroscopy and the study of optical phenomena in nanosystems. Despite the seemingly significant shift in her main research area and nature of her measurement, Gwinn's work has continued to be distinguished by a high degree of innovation and contributions to scientific community. She is an expert on the preparation and study of silver nanoclusters and photophysical properties thereof. In this space, she was one of the earliest advocate machine learning as a strategy to improve and increase throughput for new the discovery of new materials in the field of nanoscience. For these efforts, she was recently awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation under the Computational & Data Driven Materials Research Program. Service to the scientific community In the area of service to the broader scientific community, in 2002 Gwinn initiated and served as the director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Let's Explore Applied Physical Science (LEAPS) program. LEAPS was structured to award fellowships to graduate and undergraduate students at UCSB to serve as mentors for students in local public elementary and junior high schools. After 12 years of continuous funding support from the NSF and direction under Gwinn's leadership, the LEAPS program evolved into the School of Scientific Thought, also based at UCSB. The School of Scientific Thought (SST) is currently organized as a Saturday morning program for local high school students in which UCSB researchers introduce students to scientific concepts via real-world examples in nanotechnology and other related fields. During her time as independent research group leader, Gwinn has also supported underrepresented groups in STEM through her direct mentorship as a principal investigator. Approximately half of Gwinn's Ph.D. students have been women. Her undergraduate researchers have also been distinguished by diversity with nearly 20% identifying as underrepresented minorities and 30% being women. At UCSB, Gwinn has been a long-term advisor to the UCSB Women in Physics student group. She was also the leader of a federal financial assistance program for high-performing students at UCSB, the Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need program in physics. For her mentorship and scientific service, in 2019 Gwinn was awarded the Lifetime Mentor Award of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Intef (Antef) was an Ancient Egyptian general of the 11th Dynasty, around 2000 BC, under king Mentuhotep II. His main title was overseer of troops often translated as general. Other titles include royal sealer and sole friend (of the king). Intef is mainly known from his Theban tomb. This is a saff-tomb (TT386). It was fully decorated. The facade has several pillars with paintings, while the corridor behind was covered with relief decorated stone slabs. Behind the corridor there is a chapel also once decorated with slabs of stone, this time painted. Several of the paintings are well preserved on the front pillars and the wall behind them. They show the siege of a Palestine fortress, hunting in the marshes, agricultural scenes and workshops. The slabs of the corridor and cult chapel are only preserved in fragments. In the tomb appears the throne name: Mentuhotep II, confirming the dating of Intef under this king. At the cult chamber is the entrance to the underground burial chamber and there is standing uninscribed sarcophagus of Intef. In the tomb was also found a statue of Intef. Finally, in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen is a stela of the general. References Ancient Egyptian overseers of the troops Officials of the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt
The first use of 3D laser scanning at Stonehenge was of the Bronze Age dagger and axes inscribed on the sarsens, which was undertaken in 2002 by a team from Wessex Archaeology and Archaeoptics. They used a Minolta Vivid 900 scanner to analyse and record surfaces of the prehistoric and post-medieval carvings. The Bronze Age carvings of a dagger and an axehead were first discovered by archaeologist Richard J. C. Atkinson in 1953 on stone number 53, one of the imposing sarsen trilithons. A contemporary survey in 1956 by Robert Newall revealed that the total number of axes on this stone totalled 14, all on the same face of the stone, looking inwards to the centre of the stone circle. Typologically, the axes have a Middle Bronze Age date. The surface of stone 53 containing Bronze Age carvings was laser scanned at a resolution of 0.5mm, resulting in hundreds of thousands of individual 3D measurements known as a point cloud. These data were then processed into a meshed 3D solid model for analysis using custom software written by Archaeoptics called Demon3D. The team pioneered some visualisation techniques to enhance the outlines of the known carvings. During this process, the faint outline of two previously unknown axes was spotted in an animation, separate from the carvings recorded by Newall. Subsequent enhancement of the data confirmed that the shapes were of flanged axes, similar in shape to those clearly visible, but either badly eroded, or were originally carved much shallower than their counterparts. The larger of the two carvings differs slightly from the other axes in that it has two 'lugs' along its shaft, and others have interpreted that it could represent either an axe, a mushroom, or a ram's skull. The results of these investigations were published in an article entitled "The Stonehenge Laser Show" in the November 2003 edition of British Archaeology. In 2011 English Heritage commissioned a full laser scan of the visible faces of all stones as Stonehenge in high resolution (sub-millimetre), as well as a lower resolution scan of the ground in the area known as the "Stonehenge Triangle".

ADAC Formula 4 () was a racing series regulated according to FIA Formula 4 regulations. The inaugural season was the 2015 ADAC Formula 4. It replaced the ADAC Formel Masters, held from 2008 to 2014. History Gerhard Berger and the FIA Single Seater Commission launched the FIA Formula 4 in March 2013. The goal of Formula 4 is to make the ladder to Formula 1 more transparent. Besides sporting and technical regulations, costs are regulated too. A car to compete in this category may not exceed a price of €30,000. A single season in Formula 4 may not exceed €100,000 in costs. ADAC F4 will be one of the second phase Formula 4 championships to be launched. The first phase championships were the Italian F4 Championship and Formula 4 Sudamericana which started in 2014. The ADAC championship was launched by the ADAC on 16 July 2014. Italian race car constructor Tatuus was contracted to design and build all the cars. After the end of the 2022 season, which was understaffed by drivers, there was a long wait for the publication of a racing calendar for 2023. This, together with the rumors about the takeover of the DTM by the ADAC, which was also carried out on 2 December 2022, gave rise to speculation that the championship would not be continued. On 3 December, ADAC announced that ADAC Formula 4 would no longer be advertised for the 2023 season. The high costs compared to other national Formula 4 championships and the low number of drivers are given as reasons for the end of the championship. Only eleven drivers were registered for the last race at the Nürburgring in mid-October, while a week later a total of 41 drivers started at the last race of the Italian F4 race in Scarperia e San Piero. Car The championship features Tatuus designed and built cars. The cars are constructed out of carbon fibre and feature a monocoque chassis. The engine is a 1.4L turbo Abarth. This is the same engine as in the Italian F4 Championship. Champions Drivers Teams Rookies The result of the championship was decided by different standings. Wins and points of the rookie standings are present in brackets. Drivers graduated to F2 Bold denotes an active Formula 2 driver. Gold background denotes ADAC Formula 4 champion.

Mateo Pablo Musacchio (, ; born 26 August 1990) is an Argentine former footballer who played as a central defender. He spent most of his professional career with Villarreal after signing as a 19-year-old, going on to appear in 249 competitive matches and score seven goals over seven La Liga seasons. In 2017 he joined Milan and, four years later, signed with Lazio also of the Italian Serie A. Musacchio made his full debut for Argentina in 2011. Club career River Plate A product of Club Atlético River Plate's youth system, Musacchio was born in Rosario, Santa Fe, and he made his first-team debut as a 16-year-old during the 2006–07 season, making four appearances. He was part of the squad that won the Clausura the following year, but did not feature in any games. Villarreal In August 2009, Musacchio moved to Villarreal CF in Spain, initially being assigned to the B team in the second division. He made his official debut on 5 September in a 3–1 loss at Córdoba CF as the reserves overachieved in their first season ever in that tier, eventually finishing seventh. On 13 February 2010, shortly after ceasing to be a non-EU player, Musacchio made his La Liga debut by playing the last 15 minutes in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao. From that moment onwards he was permanently promoted to Villarreal's first team, successively surpassing more experienced Iván Marcano and Gonzalo Rodríguez – the latter his compatriot – in the defensive pecking order. Musacchio dealt with several injury problems during his spell at the Estadio El Madrigal. Milan On 30 May 2017, eight days after passing his medical, Musacchio moved to Italian club A.C. Milan after signing a four-year contract. He contributed 15 Serie A appearances in his first season, with the subsequent qualification to the UEFA Europa League after a sixth-place finish. Following Leonardo Bonucci's departure to Juventus F.C. and Mattia Caldara's two long-term injuries, Musacchio became a starter, oftentimes partnering up with the team's newly-appointed captain Alessio Romagnoli. In June 2020, just before the post-pandemic restart of the league competition in Italy, he underwent surgery on his left ankle and missed the remainder of games. Musacchio played his first match in ten months on 12 January 2021, featuring 62 minutes in a 0–0 penalty shootout victory over Torino F.C. in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia. Lazio On 27 January 2021, S.S. Lazio announced the signing of Musacchio on a permanent deal. He was released at the end of season. After more than two years without a club, Musacchio finally decided to retire at the age of 32. International career Musacchio was first called by the Argentina national team in May 2011, as manager Sergio Batista only selected players under 25 for friendlies with Nigeria and Poland. He made his debut against the former on 2 June, in a 4–1 defeat. In 2017, Gianni De Biasi asked Musacchio if he would be interested in playing for Albania of which he was the manager, but the player declined as he wished to represent his country of birth. Style of play A press release of A.C. Milan described Musacchio as a "very physical centre back" with character and agility. Additionally, the article highlighted his marking and blocking abilities, and that he liked to start moves and play short passes." Personal life Musacchio's paternal grandparents were of Albanian origin, being Arbëreshë from Portocannone in lower Molise region, Italy. The surname Musacchio originated from the Muzaka region in south-central Albania, and was widely used in the Albanian community in Italy.

Orchard Square is a small open-air court shopping centre located in Sheffield, England. It opened in 1987 and contains several stores, notably Schuh, Clarks, Waterstone's (with its own instore coffee house), Subway, The Body Shop and TK Maxx (which replaced the original food court). Orchard Square also features Sheffield Creative Guild, La Coupe hair salon, Anne Heppell, Michael Spencer Jewellers, War Games Emporium and Costa. The centrepiece of the Square is a chiming clock with moving figures that depict Sheffield's cutlery trade. To mark the centre's 21st year, Orchard Square was re-developed to facilitate the expansion of the TK Maxx to a three-level anchor store into space formerly occupied by the Stonehouse pub. The re-development was finished in October 2008, and retailers began trading in new premises shortly before Christmas 2008. Orchard Square features a customer loyalty card called the VIP Card. Shoppers can sign up for the card by visiting the Orchard Square website, www.orchardsquare.co.uk, or by filling in one of the application forms and putting it in the collection box by the toilets near Waterstone's. The VIP card is not a points scheme – card holders simply show the card at participating stores to receive various discounts. Regular competitions are also held for VIP card holders. The Square is the site of the former works of John Brown & Co., which grew into one of the larger steel companies prior to nationalisation, with part of their later works site becoming Meadowhall Shopping Centre.

Sir John Hardy, 1st Baronet (23 February 1809 – 9 July 1888), was a British Conservative Member of Parliament. Background Hardy, born 23 April 1809, was the eldest son of John Hardy and Isabele Gathorne. Gathorne Gathorne-Hardy, 1st Earl of Cranbrook, was his younger brother. He attended Oriel College, Oxford, gaining a BA in 1831, and a MA in 1834. On 13 June 1846 at Farnborough Church, Warwickshire, he married Laura Holbech or Holbeck, third daughter of William Holbech of Farnborough Hall, Warwickshire. At Low Moor, Bradford, the "roaring of cannon" and the "merry note of village bells" continued throughout the day. At 4.30pm the event was celebrated by 40 agents of the Low Moor Ironworks at Buttershaw House, with many toasts and speeches. The cannon "poured forth their voices of thunder" once more at nine pm. The eldest of their three surviving sons was Sir Reginald Hardy (1848–1938), a JP and deputy lieutenant for Staffordshire, who succeeded to the baronetcy. A younger son was barrister Gerald Holbeck Hardy (Atherstone 1852 – Burton-upon-Trent 1929) of Arlington Street, Piccadilly. Gerald served as a major in the Queen's Own Royal Regiment, Staffordshire, in 1914. Another son was Laurence Hardy, Member of Parliament for Ashford from 1892 to 1918. Career Hardy was the proprietor of the Low Moor Ironworks, Bradford. He was elected to the House of Commons for Midhurst in March 1859, but held the seat for less than two months. The following year he was returned for Dartmouth, a constituency he represented until 1868, and then sat for Warwickshire South from 1868 to 1874. His three unsuccessful attempts at representation were Plymouth (1857), Banbury (1859) and East Staffordshire (1880). On 23 February 1876 he was created baronet of Dunstall Hall in the County of Stafford. In 1878 he was appointed High Sheriff of Staffordshire, after serving there as deputy lieutenant and magistrate, and on the Commission of the Peace for the West Riding of Yorkshire. Death John Hardy died aged 79 years on Monday 2 July 1888, after being hit by a brougham in windy weather and busy traffic while crossing South Audley Street, London, to post a letter. He sustained a compound fracture of the right femur, was placed on the floor of the brougham and taken the short distance to 22 South street, Park Lane. The wound did not begin to heal, and he died at home on the afternoon of 9 July 1888 of shock and exhaustion. The coroner's enquiry found that Hardy was of sound mind and that the driver of the brougham was not to blame. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock on Friday 13 July, at Dunstall Hall. He was buried in a plain oak coffin on the same day at St Mary's Church, Dunstall, in the graveyard outside the east end of the chancel, beside the grave of his wife Laura. The grave is "simply turfed at the head and sides." The funeral cortege walked from Dunstall Hall to the churchyard, and included local school children. Every blind in the village was closed in mourning, and local flags flew at half mast.

The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS is a laser weapon developed by the United States Navy. The weapon was installed on for field testing in 2014. In December 2014, the United States Navy reported that the LaWS system worked perfectly against low-end asymmetric threats, and that the commander of Ponce was authorized to use the system as a defensive weapon. Purpose The LaWS is a ship-defense system that has so far publicly engaged an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV or drone) and a simulated small-boat attacker. LaWS uses an infrared beam from a solid-state laser array which can be tuned to high output to destroy a target or low output to warn or cripple the sensors of a target. One of its advantages over projectile weapons is the low cost per shot: Each firing of the weapon requires only the minimal cost of generating the energetic pulse; by contrast, ordnance for projectile weapons must be designed, manufactured, handled, transported, and maintained, and takes up storage space. The LaWS is designed to be used against low-end asymmetric threats. Scalable power levels allow it to be used on low power to dazzle a person's eye non-lethally to turn away a threat, and to be used at high power, up to 30 kilowatts, to fry sensors, burn out motors, and detonate explosive materials. By lasing a vital point, LaWS can shoot down a small UAV in as little as two seconds. When facing small boats, the laser can target a craft's motor to disable it, then repeat this against other boats in rapid succession, requiring only a few seconds of firing per boat. Targeting the platform is more effective than targeting individual crewmembers, although the LaWS is accurate enough to target explosive rockets if on board, whose detonations could kill the operators. Against a larger aircraft like a helicopter, LaWS can burn through some vital components to cause it to crash. History In 2010, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions was awarded an $11 million contract to support the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in the development of LaWS for the U.S. Navy's Directed Energy and Electric Weapon Systems (DE&EWS) program. The May 24, 2010 NSWC test used a close-in weapon control system to enable the beam director to track an unmanned aerial vehicle target. The LaWS was to be installed on USS Ponce in summer 2014 for a 12-month trial deployment. The Navy spent about $40 million over the past six years on research, development, and testing of the laser weapon. It is directed to targets by the Phalanx CIWS radar. With tests going well, the Navy expected to deploy a laser weapon operationally between 2017 and 2021 with an effective range of . The exact level of power the LaWS will use is unknown but estimated between 15–50 kW for engaging small aircraft and high-speed boats. Directed-energy weapons are being pursued for economic reasons, as they can be fired for as little as one dollar per shot, while conventional gun rounds and missiles can cost thousands of dollars each. The Navy has a history of testing energy weapons, including megawatt chemical lasers in the 1980s. Their chemicals were found to be too hazardous for shipboard use, so they turned to less powerful fiber solid-state lasers. Other types can include slab solid state and free electron lasers. The LaWS benefitted from commercial laser developments, with the system basically being six welding lasers "strapped together" that, although they don't become a single beam, all converge on the target at the same time. It generates 33 kW in testing, with follow-on deployable weapons generating 60–100 kW mounted on a Littoral Combat Ship or to destroy fast-attack boats, drones, manned aircraft, and anti-ship cruise missiles out to a few miles. In the short term, the LaWS will act as a short-range, self-defense system against drones and boats, while more powerful lasers in the future should have enough power to destroy anti-ship missiles; Navy slab lasers have been tested at 105 kW with increases to 300 kW planned. Laser weapons like the LaWS are meant to complement other missile and gun-based defense systems rather than replace them. While lasers are significantly cheaper and have virtually unlimited magazines, their beams can be disrupted by atmospheric and weather conditions (especially when operating at the ocean's surface) and are restricted to line-of-sight firing to continuously keep the beam on target. More conventional systems will remain in place for larger and longer-range targets that require the use of kinetic defense. Deployment The LaWS was deployed on Ponce in late August 2014 to the Persian Gulf with the U.S. 5th Fleet to test the feasibility of a laser weapon in a maritime environment against heat, humidity, dust, and salt water and to see how much power is used. The system has scalable power levels to be able to fire a non-lethal beam to dazzle a suspect vessel, and fire stronger beams to physically destroy a target; range is classified. Although neighboring Iran has threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz using small boat swarms that the LaWS is able to counter, it was not designed or deployed specifically to be used against any one particular country. In September 2014, the LaWS was declared an operational asset, so ship commanders were authorized to use it for self-defense. Humans are not a target of the weapon under stipulations of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, but targets do include UAVs, helicopters, and fast patrol craft. Rules of engagement have been developed for its use, but details have not been released, although the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons Rules of Engagement (ROE) prohibit using laser weapons against humans. The Navy has released video of the LaWS on deployment disabling a ScanEagle UAV, detonating a rocket propelled grenade, and burning out the engine of a rigid hull inflatable boat. Officials said it is working beyond expectations. Compared to hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for a missile, one laser shot costs only 59 cents. Composed of commercial laser components and proprietary Navy software, it is powered and cooled by a "skid" through a diesel generator, separate from the ship's electrical systems, giving greater efficiency relative to power provided of 35 percent. Mounted on Ponce'''s superstructure above the bridge, its powerful optics are also useful as a surveillance tool that can detect objects at unspecified but "tactically significant ranges"; sailors have equated its surveillance abilities to having the Hubble Space Telescope at sea. Sailors are using it for targeting and training daily, whether to disable or destroy test targets or for potential target identification. The system is operated through a flat screen monitor and a gaming system-like controller integrated into the ship's combat system, so anyone with experience playing common video games can operate the weapon. It has functioned well against adverse weather, and is able to work in high humidity and after a dust storm. However, the system is not expected to work during harsh sandstorms and has not been tested in such conditions because "it didn't make much sense to", but threats would also not be expected to be operational under the same conditions. Deployments on other ships are being examined and although the LaWS was planned to remain deployed for one year,Navy Declares Laser Weapons Ready to Protect Ships in Persian Gulf – Military.com, December 10, 2014 it performed so well that fleet leadership decided to keep it on Ponce as long as it was at sea. Following a review of several ship classes to determine which had available space, power, and cooling, it was decided that after Ponce'''s planned decommissioning in 2018, the LaWS will be moved to the new amphibious transport dock ship for indefinite testing. It will utilise the space and power connections reserved for its vertical launching system to house the LaWS power and control modules while the laser itself will be bolted to the deck. Because the installation will be only a trial, LaWS will not be integrated into the ship's warfare system. However as a developmental project the issues, some of them due to the nature of its development as a developmental prototype such as the bulky trickle charge capacitors and long charge time, difficulty tracking small targets and problems producing a single synchronised and coherent beam from the six smaller emitters prevented the LaWS from entering serial production. In January 2018, the Navy announced a $150 million contract with Lockheed Martin for the production of two HELIOS laser units to be delivered in 2020; one will be fitted to while the other will be used for land-based testing. Further contract options could bring its value to $942.8 million.

To Boyfriend () is a portrait by Slovak artist Jozef Hanula from about 1900. Description The painting is oil on canvas and measures 120 × 70 cm. The picture is part of the collection of the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava. Analysis The best works of Hanula are from the period 1900–18. He is best recognized and remains known for his genre paintings, which he created following his return to the homeland after studying abroad. He made a studied effort to correctly present folk costumes and details in his subjects' hands and faces. The painting had great success during the exhibition of Slovak and Moravian artists in Hodonín in 1902. The painting depicts a young girl in a typical girls' folk costume. She holds a prayer book in her left and hand a Polish flower in her right. Critics note that the work brings nostalgic feelings, but its nature constitutes an allegory of the Slovak nation suffering under foreign rule. The picture became a symbol of Slovak art and the whole nation. References 1900 paintings Slovak art Slovak folklore

To Hell You Ride is a 5 issues comic-book series written by Lance Henriksen (Millennium (TV series), Aliens (franchise), Near Dark) and Joseph Maddrey (Nightmares in Red, White and Blue), with art by Tom Mandrake, published by Dark Horse Comics, 2012–2013. To Hell You Ride is a horror story that takes place in a mountain town of Colorado. Publication history From the original idea to the comic book As stated by Henriksen in interviews, a trip to the town of Telluride, Colorado, in the 70's, has strongly impressed him. He transposed his emotions into the creation of a screenplay. The material was lost over time, but Henriksen eventually revived his ideas following a handshake deal with the Dark Horse publisher. Henriksen also quotes the final lines of the poem Should Lanterns Shine by Dylan Thomas, as an additional inspiration: I have heard many years of telling, And many years should see some change. The ball I threw while playing in the park Has not yet reached the ground. [emphasis added] Henriksen and Maddrey, who have already worked together on previous film and publishing projects, co-opted Mandrake to complete their team. Title Simultaneously informative and symbolic, the title recalls a supposed etymology of the Telluride toponym. Issues Promotional Animated Video An animated video was produced by Dark Horse Comics to promote the release of the first issue of To Hell You Ride. The video featured a script written by Lance Henriksen and Joseph Maddrey, narration by Lance Henriksen, the artwork of Tom Mandrake in animated form and a musical score by the group TKU: Tecamachalco Underground (Cesar Gallegos/Mateo Latosa). It was posted on YouTube on October 3, 2012. Genre According to the main formal traits of the story, the publisher widely classifies this series as horror genre. The narrated story is more elaborated than in a regular comic. It is rather a literary fiction of magic realism genre, condensed and wrapped in the shape of a comics miniseries. Expressed with the artistic means of supernatural horror style, the content of the work is, in essence, a moral tale. By typology, the storyline goes towards an epic quest for identity and existence meaning, a journey that the hero is channeled to make, by a converged set of events. Native American culture and life are the source for the hero definition and for the supernatural features of the telling. Structure The story unfolds with exponentially increasing intensity along five (3 + 2 monthly) issues. First three issues: Each one of the first three books is displaying a similar scheme of zigzag movement through time, between present-day and several past episodes. The narrative flows across a complex structure of temporal layers pinned together by the geographic and ethnic (genealogical and mythological) constant element. The magic realism setting makes everything to be double sided. The past events contain both historical accurate and fictional facts (including an invented side of the Native American mythology), while the present-day episodes picture the actual crisis moments of a contemporary well-known society and the surreal plane with its dual subcomponents: horror and mystical. Using the premise of a non-linear time, the authors are interlacing the historical facts and the present action into a causality perpetuum-mobile and gradually deliver to the reader a tool-set to decrypt their message.

William Thomas Dillard (September 2, 1914 – February 8, 2002) was an American businessman. He was the founder of the Dillard's Department Stores chain. Early life Dillard was born on September 2, 1914, to Thomas J. Dillard and Hattie Mae Gibson Dillard, both grocers. At 12 years old, Dillard began working for his father who owned a local general store. Dillard found employment with Sears & Roebuck Company where he gained experience in retail business. He graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Business Administration and earned an MBA from Columbia University. He was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Career Dillard returned to Arkansas and opened his first retail store in 1938 in the town of Nashville, Arkansas, after he borrowed US$8,000 from his father to sign the lease and install shelves, and stocking those shelves with merchandise supplied on generous credit, extended on the basis of wholesalers' long dealings with his father. In 1948, he sold his Nashville store and opened stores in Texas, followed by more stores across the Southern United States. In 1964, he opened his first store in a mall in Austin, Texas, and foreshadowed the boom of malls. In 1965, he opened more stores in malls in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. He used computerized checkouts to track inventory. By the end of the 20th century, Dillard's Department Stores was the third largest department store chain in the United States. He retired in 1998. His eldest son, William T. Dillard II, took over as CEO and his second son, Alex Dillard, as president. His daughters, Drue Corbusier and Denise Mahaffy, and a third son, Mike Dillard, serve as vice presidents. Personal life and death Dillard married Alexa Latimer on June 9, 1940, and they had five children. He was an Episcopalian, and a Republican. He died on February 8, 2002, at his home in Little Rock, Arkansas at the age of 87. In February 2020, the University of Arkansas announced the naming of William Dillard Accounting Department in honor of his legacy.

The Process is the eighth studio album by Canadian industrial band Skinny Puppy. Released by American Recordings on February 27, 1996, The Process was the band's final album before it reformed in 2000 and released The Greater Wrong of the Right in 2004. Skinny Puppy's keyboardist, Dwayne Goettel, died near the end of The Process recording, and the album experienced difficult production and record-label intrusion. Background, recording and concept Nivek Ogre, cEvin Key, and Dwayne Goettel signed a contract with American Recordings, and moved to Malibu, California to record The Process. "Jahya" was the first song recorded for the album, the only song recorded at the band's familiar Mushroom Studios. Recording sessions were punctuated by fires, floods, and the Northridge earthquake. The album's producer changed several times, from Roli Mosimann to Martin Atkins to Dave Ogilvie. According to cEvin Key, American Recordings pressured the band into adopting a commercial, industrial metal sound similar to Nine Inch Nails. The band's bickering and excessive drug use made the recording process so long and costly that American Recordings reduced Skinny Puppy's contract from three albums to one. In 1994, Key and Goettel returned to Vancouver with the master tapes; in the face of tensions between band members, however, Ogre remained in Los Angeles and left the band on June 12, 1995. American Recordings decided to drop Skinny Puppy after the release of The Process. The band's keyboardist, Dwayne Goettel, died of a heroin overdose on August 23, 1995, and the album was dedicated to him. After Goettel's death, cEvin and Dave finished mixing The Process. It was intended as a concept album about a 1960s psychotherapy cult known as the Process Church of the Final Judgment, to which Ogre was introduced by Genesis P-Orridge. An artist collective calling itself The Process (collective) grew out of the project. "Blue Serge" was one of Key's first experiments with a modular synthesizer. Composition The album was inspired by the music of Suicide, Cabaret Voltaire, Chrome, Throbbing Gristle, Nocturnal Emissions, Portion Control, and The Legendary Pink Dots, accessible to the band primarily via tape exchange. Skinny Puppy experimented with analog and digital recording techniques, composing multi-layered music with synthesizers, drum machines, acoustic percussion, tape loops, samplers, and conventional rock-music instruments to create what they called "audio sculpture." Their extensive use of sampling from horror films and radio broadcasts would "clarify or obscure" song meanings; they applied distortion and other effects to Ogre's vocals, which were often delivered as a stream of consciousness. Lyrics referred to social and political topics, including animal rights, environmental degradation, drug addiction, suicide, war, privacy, and self-determination. Skinny Puppy's often informal, improvisational approach to musical composition is indicated by their term "brap," a verb meaning "to get together, hook up electronic instruments, get high, and record." The Process was a stylistic departure from their previous albums, featuring untreated vocals, guitar, and more accessible song structures. Artwork The cover art, a photograph of a building, is by Steven R. Gilmore. Gilmore created the cover in memory of Goettel and his wife, Colette. He wrote: Although a color version of the photo was considered, Gilmore chose the sepia-tinted version for the album. Release When it was released, The Process was considered the final Skinny Puppy album; its liner notes read "The End" after the album credits, which included thank-yous to "Electronic Music Lovers" and "Puppy People". Ogre and Key reformed the band in 2000 and released a new album, The Greater Wrong of the Right, in 2004. Critical reception The Process received generally-mixed reviews from critics. AllMusic writer Steve Huey criticized the album for failing to convey its concepts, but concluded: "Still, credit must be given to the band for having finished the record at all, and in its own way, the confusion of The Process speaks volumes". Nicholas Maltezos of The Record gave the album one out of four stars: "Skinny Puppy's sound was certainly original – the group's synthesizer-dominated rock could have easily served as the background music for a dream sequence in a horror or sci-fi movie. But The Process is just a nightmare of a recording". For NME, John Perry wrote that the album was "far from being the industrial, goth knees-up you'd expect" and did little to hold listener interest: "You can't help feeling it would have been better all-round if they hadn't bothered". Ben Mitchell of Select also criticized the album: "An unerring inability to distinguish arse from elbow throughout results in a flimsy 11-track approximation of a gang of mildly irritated moped riders attempting a stage invasion at a Jean-Michel Jarre concert". James Muretich of the Calgary Herald was impressed by "Candle", and wrote that "the band at least goes out with more of a bark than a whimper". Rommie Johnson of The Tampa Tribune gave the album two stars out of four, writing that the Last Rights track "Download" would have been "the perfect ending" for the band. Although The Process presented nothing new, saying that the album "only sounds weak in light of Puppy's track record" and "the band still make Nine Inch Nails sound like sissies". Steve Byrne of the Detroit Free Press said that "Goettel and Puppy devotees deserve a better epitaph than The Process", and the album was "bogged down in [the] B-horror-movie mode that the band has explored more relevantly before". Some reviews were more favorable. Sandy Masuo of the Los Angeles Times described the album as "full of intriguing vagaries" and filled with "driving dance grooves, both choppy and smooth", calling "Candle" a "suitably moody swan song". Malcolm X. Abram of The Atlanta Constitution praised the band's experimentation with new sounds and styles, saying that the album "may final[ly] garner this musical institution some attention outside the protective umbrella of industrial fans". Stephen Parrish of The Morning Call agreed, saying that the band "just might enjoy some post-mortem glory with The Process" and praising "Death" and "Candle". Steffan Chirazi of the San Francisco Examiner wrote, "For newcomers, the album is a fascinating and unnerving trip through psychosis. For Skinny Puppy, The Process represents uncomfortable closure and some cohesion". Daniel Lukes of Kerrang! called The Process "the most poignant, elegiac and human album of their career".

In differential equations, the Laplace invariant of any of certain differential operators is a certain function of the coefficients and their derivatives. Consider a bivariate hyperbolic differential operator of the second order whose coefficients are smooth functions of two variables. Its Laplace invariants have the form Their importance is due to the classical theorem: Theorem: Two operators of the form are equivalent under gauge transformations if and only if their Laplace invariants coincide pairwise. Here the operators are called equivalent if there is a gauge transformation that takes one to the other: Laplace invariants can be regarded as factorization "remainders" for the initial operator A: If at least one of Laplace invariants is not equal to zero, i.e. then this representation is a first step of the Laplace–Darboux transformations used for solving non-factorizable bivariate linear partial differential equations (LPDEs). If both Laplace invariants are equal to zero, i.e. then the differential operator A is factorizable and corresponding linear partial differential equation of second order is solvable. Laplace invariants have been introduced for a bivariate linear partial differential operator (LPDO) of order 2 and of hyperbolic type. They are a particular case of generalized invariants which can be constructed for a bivariate LPDO of arbitrary order and arbitrary type; see Invariant factorization of LPDOs.

The University of Orléans () is a French university, in the Academy of Orléans and Tours. As of July 2015 it is a member of the regional university association Leonardo da Vinci consolidated University. History In 1230, when for a time the doctors of the University of Paris were scattered, a number of the teachers and disciples took refuge in Orléans; when pope Boniface VIII, in 1298, promulgated the sixth book of the Decretals, he appointed the doctors of Bologna and the doctors of Orléans to comment upon it. St. Yves (1253–1303) studied civil law at Orléans, and Pope Clement V also studied there law and letters; by a papal bull published at Lyon, 27 January 1306, he endowed the Orléans institutes with the title and privileges of a university. Twelve later popes granted the new university many privileges. In the 14th century it had as many as five thousand students from France, Germany, Lorraine, Burgundy, Champagne, Picardy, Normandy, Touraine, Guyenne and Scotland. The current university was founded in 1960, after its medieval predecessor was closed down in 1793 and merged into the University of France in 1808. Organisation The university is organised into three Teaching and Research divisions (UFR): Law, Economics and Management Literature, Languages and Human Sciences Science and Technology In addition, it has: 4 University Institutes of Technology 1 Science of the Universe Observatory 1 National Higher Institute of Teaching and Education 1 School of Engineering 1 School of Kinesiology Notable people Faculty Ancient Robert Joseph Pothier (1699–1722), lawyer.

Morris Albert Lottinger Jr. (born c. 1937), is a retired judge who previously served from 1971 to 1975 as a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from his native Houma in Terrebonne Parish in South Louisiana. Lottinger is one of three children born to the former Effie J. Hellier (1908-1993) and the attorney Morris Lottinger Sr.(1902-1978 His paternal grandparents were the former Lucille Theriot and Victor Lottinger (died July 1939). In the 1940 United States Census, then listed as two years of age, Lottinger was residing with his parents and his older sister Elizabeth in the home of his maternal grandfather, Harry W. Hellier (born c. 1880) and his uncle, Harry F. Hellier. Lottinger received his bachelor's degree from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux in Lafourche Parish. He completed Louisiana State University Law Center and was admitted to the bar in 1965. He is a member of Phi Delta Phi, the international legal honor society. In the House, Lottinger joined with colleague Elward Thomas Brady Jr., also of Houma, in an effort to adopt boater-safety regulations proposed by the United States Coast Guard, but many constituents objected to the U.S. government dictating policy regarding their boats. Years later, those same safety guidelines were adopted. In 1976, Representative Lottinger was named "Conservationist of the Year" among the elected official category by the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. Lottinger left the state House after five years to become a judge of the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal, which includes his Terrebonne Parish. He retired from the judgeship as chief judge on July 15, 1998. Like his father, he was hence both a state representative and a judge. The senior Lottinger was also House Speaker for the last two years of his legislative service.
