USS Vicksburg was a United States Navy gunboat laid down in March 1896 at Bath, Maine, launched on 5 December 1896 from the Bath Iron Works yard, and commissioned on 23 October 1897. The vessel was sponsored by Addie Trowbridge, and named after the town of Vicksburg, where her father was mayor at the time.
Service history
Spanish–American War, 1898–1899
Vicksburg left Newport, Rhode Island on 16 January 1898, sailing for Saint Thomas in the Caribbean. On 26 April, at the start of the Spanish–American War, she sailed south to join in the blockade of Cuba. For the next three months, Vicksburg patrolled the Cuban coast near Havana, returning to Key West, Florida periodically for fuel and provisions. During her tour of duty in Cuban waters, she captured three blockade runners. In May, she took Oriente, Fernandito, and Bernardico on the 5th, 7th, and 9th, respectively. The Oriente and Fernandito were small unarmed sailing ships bound from the Gulf of Campeche to Havana with cargoes of fish. Vicksburg took each to Key West where they were condemned by a prize court. Her fourth and final capture came more than a month later on 24 June when she encountered Ampala, a sailing vessel, bound from Havana to Trujillo. Though Ampala carried no cargo save provisions for her passengers, Vicksburg took her to Key West where she, too, was duly condemned. On 7 May, Vicksburg came under the fire of the Santa Clara Battery shore battery near Havana, and again on 14 August. By then, hostilities in Cuba were ending, and the need for blockading ships diminished. Vicksburg departed Cuban waters on the 14th and, after a three-day stop at Key West, continued north to Newport where she arrived on 23 August. During the remaining months of 1898 and the first five months of 1899, she operated along the east coast and in the Caribbean. On 24 May 1899, Vicksburg was placed out of commission at Boston.
Asiatic Station, 1900–1904
Almost a year later, on 15 May 1900, the gunboat was recommissioned at Newport, R.I. After six months of operations in the Atlantic, Vicksburg stood out of Boston on 9 November for duty on the Asiatic Station. She sailed via the Mediterranean Sea and the Suez Canal and arrived at Cavite—on the island of Luzon in the Philippines—on 2 February 1901. During the first of her three years in the Far East, Vicksburg joined other Navy units in supporting the Army's campaign in the Philippine–American War which followed Spain's ceding the islands to the U.S. Vicksburg herself contributed significantly to the success of those operations when she assisted Army forces in capturing the Philippine president, Emilio Aguinaldo, at Palanan, Isabela in March 1901. She also cooperated with the Army again in June during the occupation of Puerto Princesa and Cuyo, the two major cities on the island.
In 1902, the warship moved north and, for the remaining two years of her tour, cruised the waters off the coasts of China, Japan, and Korea. She spent the entire first quarter of 1904 at Chemulpo, Korea, protecting American interests during the initial stages of the Russo-Japanese War. On 9 June 1904, Vicksburg took leave of Asia when she stood out of Yokohama, Japan, and shaped a course for home. She reached Bremerton, Washington, on 29 June but later moved south to the Mare Island Navy Yard near San Francisco, California. There, she was placed out of commission, in reserve, on 15 July 1904.
Central America, 1909–1912
After almost five years of inactivity, Vicksburg was placed back in commission at Mare Island on 17 May 1909. The gunboat departed San Francisco on 16 June and headed south to the coast of Mexico and the Isthmus of Panama. During the next four years, she cruised the western coast of Central America in an effort to support American diplomatic moves to maintain peace in the revolution-prone nations in the area. For that purpose, she made calls at ports in Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Panama. Conditions in Nicaragua were especially volatile during those years, and Vicksburg returned to Corinto and other Nicaraguan ports time and time again.
During the early summer of 1912, she began operating primarily along the California coast. In late August, she cruised south for an extended courtesy visit to Guaymas, Mexico. While there, Vicksburg was sent to assist the steam freighter Pleiades, which had reported running aground on the coast of lower California on August 16. Vicksburg sustained a hull puncture from a broken propeller while en route to provide aid, and the cruiser Cleveland was sent to escort Vicksburg back to the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. The damage was found to not be as severe as initially thought, and Vicksburg was instead led back to Guaymas, where she briefly remained for repairs before returning to duty on 2 September. The gunboat later returned to the U.S. at San Diego on 3 November.
Training ship, 1912–1917
Following repairs at the Mare Island and the Puget Sound Navy Yards, she began duty with the Washington Naval Militia on 18 June. That service occupied her almost completely until the U.S. entered World War I in the spring of 1917. The only exception came in May–June 1914, when she was placed back in full commission for a brief cruise to Mexico. Upon her return to Puget Sound, she reverted to reserve status and resumed training duty with the Washington Naval Militia.
World War I, 1917–1921
On 6 April 1917, the U.S. associated herself with the Allied Powers in World War I by declaring war on the German Empire. A week later, on 13 April, Vicksburg was placed back in full commission at Puget Sound. The gunboat patrolled the western coasts of the United States and Mexico through the end of the war. That German influence was particularly strong in Mexico during the war is evidenced by the fact that Germany started reasonably serious negotiations to persuade Mexico to enter the war on the side of the Central Powers. The infamous Zimmermann Telegram—which offered Mexico the opportunity to recoup her losses in the American Southwest—contributed greatly to the United States' decision to go to war against Germany. Thus, the Navy had to flex its muscles convincingly to dissuade Mexico from assisting the Central Powers. Vicksburg and the other ships which patrolled the Mexican coasts helped provide the influence necessary to keep that nation out of the enemy camp.
As a result of her mildly pro-German attitude, Mexico became a center for German activity in the western hemisphere, particularly after the U.S. entered the war. Incidents involving German nationals occurred frequently. One such incident provided Vicksburg with the single concrete reward for her vigilance. On 17 March 1918, she anchored off the harbor at Viejo Bay, Mexico, in response to information that a ship carrying German nationals would attempt to leave the port. At 12:25, she sighted the schooner Alexander Agassiz standing out to sea under the American flag and immediately got underway to intercept her. The schooner tried to make a dash for it, but a shot across her bow forced the Alexander Agassiz to heave to and submit to a search.
Vicksburgs boarding party made some interesting discoveries. The schooner carried 14 people, of whom five were German and six were Mexican. Two others were women, one of whom was purportedly the vessel's owner. The remaining passenger was an American, probably the informant upon whose advice the capture was made since he is listed in Vicksburgs war diary as "...one American spy..." The motorized sailing vessel also carried some small arms and a quantity of ammunition as well as a "German flag". The people were taken on board Vicksburg, and the five Germans were put in irons.
Vicksburg justified the capture on the fact that the schooner carried enemy nationals and that she possessed no proper ship's papers. In a three-hour discussion held that afternoon with the Captain of the Port, the British Vice Consul, and commanding officers of other American ships in the area, Vicksburgs commanding officer supported his action further with the fact that the passengers were seen to throw articles overboard just before the boarding party arrived and with the suggestion that the Alexander Agassiz had been fitted out as a raider. That shaky proposition was later repudiated by an American prize court which ordered that restitution be made to the owner of the schooner. It now seems likely that the five Germans were simply making a desperate attempt to return home.
Later that month, Vicksburg delivered her prize to San Diego and the prisoners to Los Angeles. She then resumed her patrols off California and remained so occupied through the remaining months of the war. The gunboat continued her active service for almost a year after hostilities stopped in November 1918. On 16 October 1919, she was finally decommissioned for the last time at Puget Sound; and, four days later, she was transferred to the Washington State Nautical School. Vicksburg served as a training ship with the school until 1921. During this period, she received the designation PG-11 on 17 July 1920, when the Navy adopted the alphanumeric system of hull designations.
Coast Guard, 1921–1944
On 2 May 1921, Vicksburg was transferred once more—this time to the Coast Guard—and her name was struck from the Navy List. She was renamed Alexander Hamilton on 18 August 1922 and served as a training ship at the Coast Guard Academy until 1930. The Coast Guard decommissioned her on 7 June 1930, stripped her, and towed her to the depot at Curtis Bay, Maryland, where she was permanently assigned as station ship. Sometime between 1 July 1935 and 1 July 1936, she was renamed Beta and, by 1 July 1940, she had been reassigned to New London, Connecticut, as a station ship.
In 1942, she was towed back to Curtis Bay where she served as a training platform for machinist's mates and water tenders. That duty lasted until 30 December 1944, when she was finally placed out of service completely. On 28 March 1946, the hulk was turned over to the War Shipping Administration for final disposition. Presumably, she was scrapped.
Vicksburg was one of a very few American ships to see active service in the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II.

Kidnapped () is a 2023 Italian-language historical drama film co-written and directed by Marco Bellocchio, about Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy who was taken from his family by the Papal States and raised as a Catholic. It is loosely based on Daniele Scalise's book Il caso Mortara. It is a co-production between Italy, France and Germany.
The film was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, where it premiered on 23 May 2023.
Synopsis
1851. Edgardo Mortara is the sixth child of a Jewish family from the city of Bologna, part of the Papal States. Believing him sick and dying, the Christian maid Anna Morisi administers baptism in secret, for fear that when he dies he will end up in limbo. The child survives, but seven years later Anna tells Pier Feletti, head of the Bolognese office of the Holy Inquisition, about the baptism: the sacrament would have made the child irrevocably Catholic, and since the laws of the Papal States forbid a Christian to be raised by non-Christians, Feletti decides to remove the child from his family. On 24 June, Edgardo was forcibly taken and brought to Rome, where he would stay in the Casa dei Catecumeni, the boarding school for the children of converted Jews.
Edgardo's parents, Momolo and Marianna, do everything to draw public attention to the case, arousing the indignation of European and non-European intellectuals. However, this causes Pope Pius IX to take the matter to heart: the papacy is in fact in a moment of acute political crisis, the pope having lost prestige and authority and being seen as a reactionary impediment to the Unification of Italy. Pius IX decides to stand up to all the accusations, personally taking care of Edgardo's education and having him publicly administered a second (canonically unnecessary) baptism or reception to dispel any doubts about his belonging to the Catholic Church. Edgardo is raised and educated in a completely Catholic environment.
Months after Edgardo's arrival in Rome, Momolo and Marianna obtain permission to visit him. Members of the Roman Jewish community coldly welcome the two, as they are afraid of losing the privileges granted by the pope due to the media outcry aroused by the affair. Momolo, therefore, decides to treat Edgardo with detachment, telling him only that he's happy to find him in good health; in front of Marianna, however, the child bursts into tears and reveals to his mother that he still secretly recites the Shema Yisrael every night. Those in charge of Edgardo's education therefore forbid any future visits, unless the whole family converts to Catholicism. The Mortaras refuse and organize an attempted kidnapping of the child, which however fails and causes the total loss of support from the Jews of Rome.
In 1860 Bologna was taken from the pope by rioters. The judical authorities of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which then exercised jurisdiction in the city, arrest Pier Feletti and put him on trial in the Mortara case. During the hearings, the whole story is reconstructed and it is discovered that the baptism administered by Anna Morisi is valid to all intents and purposes. The second baptism ceremony is not relevant. Feletti is acquitted of the charges, as he acted in full compliance with the laws in force at the time of the events. Edgardo remains in Rome. The Pope is still sovereign there because of military assistance from France under Napoleon III. In 1870 when France was attacked by Prussia and the French troops are withdrawn, the Kingdom of Italy occupies Rome and the eleven-hundred year history of the Papal States comes to an end with Pope Pius IX losing his temporal power.
Meanwhile, Edgardo grows up in the care of the Pope. He studies for the priesthood and assumes the clerical name of Pio Maria. In 1870, with the breach of Porta Pia, Rome becomes part of the Kingdom of Italy. One of Edgardo's older brothers, Riccardo, who is a soldier in the occupying army, runs to look for him and tells him that he can finally return home. However, Edgardo refuses, stating that his real family is now the Catholic church. When Pius IX dies in 1878, Edgardo, in an impulsive act, joins the rioters who wish to throw his coffin into the Tiber. He regrets his action and runs away.
Years later, Marianna, Edgardo's mother, is dying and Edgardo, who years earlier had refused to go to his father's funeral, finally returns home. Taking advantage of a moment when he is alone with his mother, the young man tries to baptise her, but she refuses, declaring that she lives as a Jew and wants to die as a Jew.
Edgardo is driven away by his siblings after this attempted conversion. This appears to be his family's final break with Edgardo. The film's closing credits state that Edgardo was ordained as a priest in the Canons Regular, worked throughout Europe as a missionary and preacher and that he died in a monastery in Belgium in 1940 at the age of 88.

Paul Steenhuisen (born 1965 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian composer working with a broad range of acoustic and digital media. His concert music consists of orchestral, chamber, solo, and vocal music, and often includes live electronics and soundfiles. He creates electroacoustic, radio, and installation pieces. Steenhuisen's music is regularly performed and broadcast in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. He contributes all audio content and programming to the Hyposurface installation project, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Education
Steenhuisen obtained his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in composition from the University of British Columbia, where he studied with Keith Hamel. Between academic degrees, he studied with Louis Andriessen and Gilius van Bergeijk at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. While living in Amsterdam, he worked with Michael Finnissy in Hove, England. He was one of ten composers selected to take part in the Cursus de Composition et Informatiques at IRCAM (Paris, 1996/97), where he had lessons with Tristan Murail. He attended master classes and individual lessons with Mauricio Kagel, Helmut Lachenmann, Jean-Claude Risset, Luciano Berio, Pierre Boulez, Brian Ferneyhough, Frederic Rzewski, Magnus Lindberg, and others.
Career
During his student years, Steenhuisen was laureate of more than a dozen national and international awards for his music. These include four prizes in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Young Composers Competition, seven in the PROCAN/SOCAN Competition, first prize in the Vancouver New Music Composers Competition, and the Governor General of Canada Gold Medal as the outstanding student in all faculties (UBC, 1990). Music by Steenhuisen was selected for competition at the Gaudeamus Music Week. After a winter residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Steenhuisen became Associate Composer in Residence with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (1998–2000). At the behest of the TSO, he wrote the chamber work Ciphering in Tongues, and orchestral pieces Airstream and Pensacola (a melodrama for orchestra, computer, and spatialized brass). Pensacola has been performed by the Esprit Orchestra, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. During this time, Bramwell Tovey and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra commissioned another orchestral piece, Your Soul is a Bottle Full of Thirsting Salt.
Wonder, for orchestra, tape, and soprano, was commissioned by the CBC for the CBC Radio Orchestra, and was selected to represent Canada at the International Rostrum of Composers (UNESCO, Paris). It was ranked third in the world, and ascribed the honour of recommended work, with subsequent broadcasts in twenty-five countries. As a result, the Austrian Radio Philharmonic performed the work and commissioned Bread for Sylvain Cambreling and Klangforum Wien to perform at MuzikProtokoll in Graz, Austria. Bread was also performed at the 2001 ISCM World Music Days in Yokohama, Japan, by the Tokyo Ensemble COmeT, and at the BONK festival (Tampa, Florida), where Steenhuisen was a frequent guest. In 2003, Dr. Steenhuisen was appointed Assistant Professor of Composition at the University of Alberta, where he was the founder of the Electroacoustic Research Studios (UA-EARS). He served as director of the new studios until his resignation in 2007. In early 2009, the University of Alberta Press published its first music text, Steenhuisen's Sonic Mosaics: Conversations with Composers, a collection of interviews with thirty-two composers.
In 2011 Steenhuisen was awarded the Victor Martyn Lynch Staunton Award as the outstanding mid-career artist in music by the Canada Council.
Affiliations
Steenhuisen is an associate composer of the Canadian Music Centre, served on the Council of the Canadian League of Composers (2000–2008), and was president of the International Society for Contemporary Music, Canadian Section (2003–2008). He serves on the editorial board of the World New Music Magazine.
Writing
Since 1987, Paul Steenhuisen has made contributions to numerous magazines and journals, including Discorder (CiTR Radio, Vancouver), MusicWorks, Circuit, Wholenote Magazine, Anjelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities, Contemporary Music Review, and others. Sonic Mosaics: Conversations with Composers (UA Press, 2009) is a 314-page collection of interviews with composers.

Hadiya, Nepal is a village development committee in Udayapur District in the Sagarmatha Zone of south-eastern Nepal. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 11331 people living in 2355 individual households. Cheetri and Bharmin is the major ethnic community with huge population while Magars, Sunuwar, Newar, Tharu and Madhesi are ethnic minorities living in the village.
The village is rural and connected mostly with gravel roads. Most of the houses are wooden with sparely modern houses made of bricks and cement. The center of town is crowded densely with unplanned buildings and weak infrastructures as well as pollution due to vehicles, scattered wastage and dusty gravel roads has created critical problem in the town and their lifestyle as every household waste their productive time The hilly people brings their agricultural products to sell in the town and buys clothes, equipment and other goods.the town is the most populated municipality of Udayapur District besides Gaighat, Beltar and Katari. Agriculture is the major occupation while service sector is blooming recently. The town was badly affected during 10 years of civil war which destroyed many infrastructures of town but now most of the governmental office has been re-constructed.

The antennal lobe is the primary (first order) olfactory brain area in insects. The antennal lobe is a sphere-shaped deutocerebral neuropil in the brain that receives input from the olfactory sensory neurons in the antennae and mouthparts. Functionally, it shares some similarities with the olfactory bulb in vertebrates. The anatomy and physiology function of the insect brain can be studied by dissecting open the insect brain and imaging or carrying out in vivo electrophysiological recordings from it.
Structure
In insects, the olfactory pathway starts at the antennae (though in some insects like Drosophila there are olfactory sensory neurons in other parts of the body) from where the sensory neurons carry the information about the odorant molecules impinging on the antenna to the antennal lobe. The antennal lobe is composed of densely packed neuropils, termed glomeruli, where the sensory neurons synapse with the two other kinds of neurons, the postsynaptic principle neurons (termed projection neurons) and local interneurons. Each olfactory sensory neuron expresses a single odorant receptor type and targets the same glomeruli as other olfactory sensory neurons expressing that receptor type, such that each glomeruli houses all or the majority of sensory neurons of a given receptor type. The number and identities of glomeruli are species specific; most species contain 40 to 160 individually identifiable glomeruli within the antennal lobe. For instance, there are 32 glomeruli in mosquito, 43 glomeruli in the fruit fly antennal lobe, and 203 glomeruli in cockroach. The local neurons, which are primarily inhibitory, have their neurites restricted to the antennal lobe. Projection neurons, which generally receive information from a single glomerulus, project to higher brain centers such as the mushroom body and the lateral horn. The interaction between the olfactory receptor neurons, local neurons and projection neurons reformats the information input from the sensory neurons into a spatio-temporal code before it is sent to higher brain centers.

The Thornton–Smith Building, located at 340 Yonge Street, is a prominent heritage building in the heart of downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Since the completion of the building in the twenties, Yonge Street has seen many transformations and while tenants in the building have reflected these changes The Thornton–Smith Building itself has remained true to its original architecture.
The building was designed in 1922 by John M. Lyle (1872-1945) for The Thornton–Smith Company, a British antique and interior design firm. Lyle, who was one of the pre-eminent architects in Canada at the time, was very vocal about the proliferation of false shopfronts and unregulated billboards on Yonge Street. Through The Thornton–Smith Building he was given the opportunity to inject an architectural gem amongst much less distinguished buildings in the increasingly crowded Yonge Street retail corridor. In 1926 his design received the first gold medal awarded by the Ontario Association of Architects, along with recognition in international architectural journals in London and New York.
Today, Thornton–Smith is a very vibrant building and is occupied on the main floor by Champs Sports, an international retailer and on the second floor by Salad King, a Toronto “landmark” that has been serving Thai food in the neighbourhood for over 20 years. A new heritage event venue named the Aperture Room opened in April 2015 to bring some of the history back to this part of Yonge Street.
Yonge Street
Growth of Yonge Street retail
In the early 20th century, downtown Yonge Street was dominated by important Victorian-era retail properties, most notably the Eaton's and Simpsons stores at Yonge Street and Queen Street West. These huge department stores were surrounded by smaller commercial properties, a mix of building styles and materials in various states of repair with awnings and signage jutting out over the busy sidewalk. The result was a cramped streetscape which assaulted the senses as retailers clamoured for pedestrians’ attention.
The mid-20th century saw major changes to the appearance of Yonge Street as landmark buildings were demolished, modern structures added, and construction begun on the Yonge Line of the Toronto Transit Commission’s subway system. From 1949-54, subway construction crews dug tunnels underneath Yonge Street, closing portions of the street as work progressed and blocking pedestrian and vehicle access. These interruptions, combined with the relocation of many Toronto residents from downtown to suburban communities following World War II, meant that Yonge Street businesses saw a decline in customer traffic. The post-war period saw a shift from traditional clothing and housewares retailers on Yonge Street towards live music and adult entertainment establishments, capitalizing on the availability of space, transit-accessible location, proximity of Toronto’s existing nightlife and entertainment venues, and the relaxation of obscenity laws in Canada during the 1960s. “Taverns became strip clubs, bookstores branched into adult materials, and entrepreneurs opened erotic massage parlours,” giving Yonge Street a seedy reputation amongst Torontonians.
The late 20th century saw the gradual revitalization of the downtown Yonge Street area, led by the opening of major retail spaces and formal organization of local businesses. The Toronto Eaton Centre opened in 1977, bringing the shopping mall from the suburbs to the downtown core and driving daytime shopping traffic to the area once more. Starting in the 1960s, three stores in particular served as retail anchors on Yonge Street, pulling shoppers north of Dundas Street: Sam the Record Man (1961), A&A Records (1974), and the World’s Biggest Bookstore (1980). Growing interest in revitalizing downtown Yonge Street resulted in the creation of the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area (2001), giving local business owners a chance to collaborate and advocate together for improvements to Yonge Street.
Yonge Street as gathering place
The presence of major retailers has consistently drawn shopping, pedestrian, and tourist traffic to the downtown Yonge Street area, making it natural gathering space for celebration, protest, and community-building. Businesses along Yonge Street have borne witness to major social, political, and community events since the mid-19th century, including military parades (during World War I and World War II), Royal visits, victory celebrations (after the Second Boer War, Armistice Day, V-E Day, and V-J Day), student protests, marathons, cultural heritage parades (including annual Caribana, Santa Claus Parade, Festival of India, and St. Patrick’s Day parades), and civil rights activism (Pride Week events, and the 1992 Yonge St. Riot). Downtown Yonge Street has also been at the center of celebrations of Canadian and Toronto sports teams such as when Canada won the Olympic Gold Medal in 2010 and when the Blue Jays won the World Series in 1992.
The role of Yonge Street as a major North-South thoroughfare, centre of retail activity, and inclusion in numerous annual parade routes contributed to the push to develop community space, starting in the 1970s. From 1971-74, portions of Yonge Street were closed to form a pedestrian mall. The Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area association led the creation of Yonge-Dundas Square on the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Dundas Street East, providing a public venue to feature live performances and public events. The square has hosted concerts, live sporting events, film screenings, art installations, vigils, and festivals, as well as become an unofficial gathering place for Torontonians in times of celebration following local sports victories. Often referred to as “Toronto’s Times Square,” Yonge-Dundas Square has ensured a constant spotlight on the Downtown Yonge area.
Music on Yonge
With the growth of Yonge Street as a commercial centre by the early 20th century, live entertainment venues began opening along the street in order to capitalize on the near-constant crowds of pedestrians and vehicles. These venues included Massey Hall (opened in 1893 and renovated in 1933), Loew’s Yonge Street Theatre (opened 1913, today the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres), Pantages Theatre (opened 1920, today the Ed Mirvish Theatre), the Eaton’s College Street location (opened 1930, today College Park), The Brown Derby (1949), Le Coq d’Or (1950s), and the Zanzibar Tavern (opened in 1960).
The music scene along Yonge Street in the 1950s and 60s was furnished by a number of changes to both the law and the local area. The formalization of the Liquor Licensing Board of Ontario in 1947 meant that drinking and live entertainment could occur in the same venue. Located at Yonge St. and Gould St. since 1948 (directly across from 340 Yonge Street), the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute brought young students to the area in large numbers, and became a degree-granting institution in 1971. In venues like The Hawk’s Nest, The Colonial Tavern, The Sapphire Tavern, Club Blue Note, and Club 888, the R&B-inflected Toronto Sound was refined by rock bands such as Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks (later The Band), Jack London and the Sparrows (later Steppenwolf), and the Mynah Birds. Gordon Lightfoot was also a regular performer at Steele’s Tavern, between A&A’s and Sam the Record Man.
With the push for the revival of downtown Yonge Street in the early 2000s, live musical performances became a regular occurrence in order to draw people to the area. Concerts, often sponsored the HMV store at 333 Yonge Street, included Alice Cooper (1991), Green Day (1997), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (1999). Live performances were later moved south to Yonge-Dundas Square, growing in scale and attracting musicians from all genres. More recently, Lady Antebellum, Serena Ryder, Julie Black and the Tragically Hip have performed concerts at Yonge-Dundas Square. These performances have brought thousands of spectators to the area and often shut down portions of Yonge Street, adding to the reputation of the downtown Yonge area as an ongoing outdoor venue and cultural hotspot.
Description of building
The Thornton–Smith Building sits on the west side of Yonge Street in downtown Toronto, south of Elm Street. Its facade features five two-storey showroom windows surmounted by arches made of stone voussoirs, with pilasters in between each window. The capital of each pilaster column features a small circular medallion. The size and prominence of the windows, combined with a row of seven sash windows on the third storey, emphasize the overall thinness of the facade. The use of a metal substructure to carry the weight of the building allowed for a flat facade surface, on which natural light could play. The facade is covered with light-grey ashlar Indiana limestone, with decorative metal window spandrels, and architraves delineating the first and second floors. A steep ornamental roof of interlocking tiles overhangs the front of the building.
The building at 340 Yonge Street demonstrated a restrained use of Classical architectural elements - the arch, the architrave, the pilaster, and the medallion - in contrast to the “meanness” of the surrounding streetscape, with “its proliferation of false shopfronts... defaced by unregulated billboard and store signage, all hidden behind electrical and streetcar poles and wires.”
Historical significance
Architecture
The Thornton–Smith Building was designed by Irish-born architect John M. Lyle, a leader in the Toronto architecture profession and champion of the neoclassical Beaux-Arts style. Having grown up in Hamilton, Ontario, Lyle studied architecture at Yale University and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. Upon graduation in 1896, he worked for architectural firms Howard & Cauldwell and Carrere & Hastings in New York City In 1905, Lyle returned to Toronto design and build the Royal Alexandra Theatre on King Street. This prominent commission enabled him to establish his own practice, Atelier Lyle.
Lyle helped disseminate Beaux-Arts Classicism through his commissions. While the style peaked in America prior to the First World War, many younger Canadian architects championed the use of Beaux-Arts well into the 1920s - Lyle was considered a leader amongst this faction of professionals. His style grew to incorporate floral and faunal motifs inspired by the Post-Impressionist style of Canadian painters The Group of Seven.
In 1926, the Ontario Association of Architects held an exhibition of members’ post-war works, at which Lyle exhibited drawings for the Thornton–Smith Building along with two other structures. Deemed “the finest work on view at the present convention,” the Lyle won first place in the commercial category and the OAA’s first gold medal award for his work on the Thornton–Smith Building.
The building became a featured portfolio accomplishment for Lyle, who later designed the Commemorative Arch at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, Union Station in Toronto, Ontario, and the Thomas B. McQuesten High Level Bridge in Hamilton, Ontario.
Thornton–Smith Company
The opening of the Thornton–Smith Company was led by painter and decorator Mabel Cawthra Adamson (1871-1943), member of the prominent Cawthra family of Toronto. Adamson studied at the Guild of Handicrafts under Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1942) while living in England from 1902-3, a centre of the British-led Arts and Crafts design movement. Upon her return to Canada in 1903, she co-founded and was elected the first president of the Society of Arts and Crafts in Canada. Later renamed the Canadian Society of Applied Art, the group made a conscious effort to provide the individual names of artisans featured in annual exhibitions in order to foster appreciation of Canadian craftspeople and manufacturers.
In 1903, Adamson established the first Canadian branch of the Thornton–Smith Company, to capitalize on the popularity of Arts and Crafts furnishings within Toronto’s consumer market. The Company’s first art director was Scottish-born decorator Peter Charles Browne. The Thornton–Smith Company sold fabrics, drapery, carpets, windows, mosaics, custom-designed furniture, period reproduction furniture, and electric fixtures. Along with providing interior design services for individual clients and architects, and specialized in the decoration of churches and theatres
Through connections made by Adamson’s husband, Agar Adamson (1865-1929), the Company was hired to furnish the Senate Chamber in Ottawa in 1904. This much-publicized refurbishment was followed by a commission in 1906-7 to decorate the new Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto under architect John M. Lyle. Adamson’s family provided key legal and financial support for the growth of the Thornton–Smith Company, with her husband Agar serving as titular head of the firm. In 1921, Mabel Adamson’s brother William Herbert (“Bertie”) Cawthra hired Lyle’s firm, Atelier Lyle, to design and build a new location for the Thornton–Smith Company at 340 Yonge Street
Prominent tenants
When The Thornton–Smith Building opened in 1922, the northerly entrance of the building was leased to Laura Secord Chocolates. The confectionery company, founded by Frank P. O’Connor in 1913, had opened its first retail location just a few doors north at 350 Yonge Street but relocated to 340 Yonge Street as can be seen in a photo taken in the 1920s.
During the 1950s the Thornton–Smith Building housed Allen Stores Limited, which occupied both 340 and 346 Yonge Street. The department store sold women’s wear and home furnishings, and was considered a discount alternative to Eaton’s.
In 1966, brothers Jack and Ken Rutherford moved their growing photography store, The Toronto Camera Exchange, from Church Street to the new location at 340 Yonge Street. Started by their father George Rutherford in 1946, the company quickly became a major Canadian photographic supplier with stores and a mail-order business which reached photographers across the country. The Toronto Camera Centre at 340 Yonge Street occupied all four floors of the Thornton–Smith Building, and became Canada’s largest photographic store.
Since the mid-1990s, a number of other prominent businesses have occupied The Thornton–Smith Building, including Foot Locker, an international retailer and Reilly’s Restaurant & Bar a well-known pub in the neighbourhood which hosted many successful events over the years including Ryerson Pub Nights.
Today, Thornton–Smith is a very vibrant building and is occupied on the main floor by Champs Sports, an international retailer and on the second floor by Salad King, a Toronto “landmark” that has been serving Thai food in the neighbourhood for over 20 years.
The third floor is home to a newly renovated, loft-like event space called the Aperture Room. Named and designed with the building and neighbourhood's history in mind, the space features exposed brick, hardwood floors, plaster ceilings and three large skylights. The open floor plan can accommodate 120 seated guests, and up to 180 reception-style for a wide variety of events including cocktail receptions, business events, weddings or concerts.
Heritage recognition
The Thornton–Smith Building is one of the few surviving early 20th-century buildings on the west side of Yonge Street between Dundas Street East and Gould Street. North of Gould, 362A Yonge Street (c.1914) is also identified on the City’s heritage inventory. Most of the remaining building stock which represented the early 20th century development of Yonge Street as the City’s “main street” has been replaced or concealed by large billboard signs.
On March 15, 1974, the Thornton–Smith Building was added to Inventory of Heritage Properties maintained by the former City of Toronto, making it a listed heritage building.

The New Belgica is a replica of the RV Belgica (1884), a research vessel with a proud history.
Replica
In 2006, the VZW New Belgica was formed with the intention of constructing a replica of Belgica. The project was officially launched on 9 September 2007 at De Steenschuit's yard in Boom, Antwerp by Kris Peeters, Minister-President of Flanders. Queen Paola is the project's patron. Construction was scheduled for completion in 2013.
From 2010 -2013 the project has been supported by the European Regional Development Fund's Echoes2c scheme. Steenschuits relocated their yard to Noeveren, in a major shipbuilding and brick making area. There came two significant setback that have changed the aims of the project. Firstly, the planned structural and spatial improvements for the area were stopped. The competent authorities refused to grant a certificate of seaworthiness to the new vessel demanding expensive and unpractical changes to the ship to bring her up to modern standards. The vessel has secured a place in the Port of Antwerp as a floating museum, adjacent to the historic dry-docks and the Red Star Line museum.

Robert Harold Brown (October 16, 1938 – February 5, 1997) was a Canadian professional wrestler, better known by his ring name "Bulldog" Bob Brown.
Early life
Brown was born in Shoal Lake, Manitoba, but grew up in the St. James-Assiniboia area of Winnipeg. He was given the nickname "Bulldog" in grade school and worked as a police officer before becoming a professional wrestler.
Professional wrestling career
Having worked as a policeman in Manitoba, Brown also played hockey. He started wrestling in the late 50s, working in places like Manitoba, New Brunswick and Alberta. From 1969 to 1974 and in the early 1980s, Brown wrestled for NWA All Star Wrestling in Vancouver and formed tag teams with Gene Kiniski and John Quinn. In New Brunswick in the mid 1970s, he fought the likes of Leo Burke and Stephen Petitpas. He worked as a face for ten years in Kansas City before he turned heel in late 1985. In interviews, he often argued about the events that had happened by turning the facts around. Brown fought with many big names throughout his career including Harley Race and Bill Dundee. Brown was a part of the WrestleRock event on April 20, 1986, where he was defeated by Giant Baba.
He found his greatest success while wrestling for NWA Central States. On June 14, 1968, Brown won a tournament for his first reign with the NWA Central States Heavyweight Championship, and held it a total of 19 times. Brown also held the NWA Central States Tag Team Championship 12 times with many partners. He often worked as booker for the Central States and several other promotions. Brown even wrestled for the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico, forming a tag team with Dale Veasey known as the Hunters. They won the WWC World Tag Team Championship from Mark and Chris Youngblood on August 26, 1987, before dropping the titles back to the Youngbloods on September 20.
Brown also wrestled for Stampede Wrestling with Kerry Brown, who was billed as Brown's son, but was actually his nephew. On June 9, 1989, the Browns won the Stampede International Tag Team Championship from Chris Benoit and Biff Wellington. That same year, Brown began working as the color commentator for Stampede's television show, alongside Ed Whalen.
Personal life and death
Brown's brother Doug is a wrestling promoter, and his son David worked as a professional wrestling referee under the name David Puttnam. Brown was the uncle of Kerry Brown, who was a professional wrestler.
In 1996, Brown suffered a heart attack, and was pronounced dead twice before being revived, causing his retirement from in-ring competition. Following his retirement, he worked as a security guard at a horse and dog racing track in Kansas City, and the formally named Flamingo Casino, now known as Isle of Capri Casino in Kansas City, Missouri.
Brown died of a heart attack while working at the casino on February 5, 1997, at the age of 58.

The Australian Regiment was a regiment of troops from the Australian colonies that served in the Second Boer War. It began its existence as infantry but was soon mounted due to the conditions of the war.
History
The Australian Regiment was formed on 26 November 1899 at Cape Town under the command of Victorian Colonel John Hoad with units of the first contingents sent by Australian colonies to fight in the Second Boer War, the first wholly Australian regiment formed for combat duty. It initially included infantry companies from Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania, as well as the Victorian Mounted Rifles squadron; the only colony not ultimately represented was Queensland. The regiment numbered 716 and was equipped with three Maxim guns. It spent the next few days re-equipping at Maitland camp, where it was inspected by Governor of Cape Colony and High Commissioner for Southern Africa Sir Alfred Milner on 28 November.
It entrained for De Aar to join the relief force for Kimberley under Major General Andrew Wauchope on 1 December. Arriving at De Aar two days later, the regiment was instead forwarded to Orange River, where it joined the relief force. Four scouts from Rimington's Guides were attached to the regiment on 6 December; their leader, Corporal John James Clements, would subsequently receive the Victoria Cross. The Australians marched eleven miles to Witteputs during the day on 7 December and a further ten miles to Belmont during the rainy night. Reinforced by the New South Wales infantry company on 9 December, they marched to Enslin and encamped there with two Royal Horse Artillery guns on the next day.
The 1st Gordon Highlanders, two more field guns, and detachments of Royal Engineers and Rimington's Guides were sent to the camp on 16 December, where they came under the command of Hoad. On New Years' Day 1900 fifty men from the Victorian Mounted Rifles under Captain Duncan McLeish made a reconnaissance toward Douglas and scouted a Boer laager there without engagement. The Victorian Mounted Rifles participated in another reconnaissance into the Orange Free State under Major General James Melville Babington on 9 January. The 12th Lancers came under the command of Hoad at Enslin on 17 January.
It served in the northern part of Cape Colony and was quickly mounted in December due to the demand of the conflict for mounted troops. The regiment fought in the defence of the Colesberg front between 9 and 12 February and the advance into the Orange Free State. The regiment was disbanded after it reached Bloemfontein in April; Hoad was made a Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George for his leadership.

Bighorn Trail Run is an ultramarathon trail running event held annually in the Bighorn National Forest of Wyoming. Founded in 1993, it has several distances including , , , and .
Race course and description
Bighorn is an out-and-back course. The 100 begins and ends near Dayton, Wyoming, and then passes through the Bighorn Mountains. The 52 mile race begins at the turnaround point for the 100. The 100 mile distance is considered one of the most difficult mountain ultras in the United States, and is a qualifier for both the Western States Endurance Run and Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run.
With of ascent, 100 mile runners face steep and technical terrain, with the race course having been adjusted to account for heavy snow in the past. The race is also notorious for deep, shoe-sucking mud—in one year even a horse was stuck in the mud on course. Encounters with wildlife are not unheard of as well, with two-time winner Karl Meltzer having been chased by a moose.
History
The Bighorn Trail Run was founded in 1993, partially as an effort by local trail runners to protect and preserve local river canyons from hydroelectric dams and other development. In 2002, the 100 mile distance was added. The Bighorn 100 is part of the "Rocky Mountain Slam", an informal series of mountain 100 milers which requires a finish at Bighorn as well as the Hardrock 100, Bear 100, and the Wasatch Front 100.

Audrey Samson is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist and researcher whose work points to the materiality of data and its consequences. She is largely known for her exploration of erasure as a means of knowledge production through digital data funerals.
Samson studied Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute, where she obtained a MFA in 2007.
Together with Sabrina Basten, she co-founded Roger10-4. Their work was featured in Arte, NRK, and Motherboard. She has been an active member of the networked performance group aether9, and the feminist tech network Genderchangers. Samson is also known by the pseudonym ideacritik, and is part of the duo FRAUD, where she collaborates with the artist Fran Gallardo.
Samson's Dust2Seed project was proposed to memorialise a deceased person by encoding their personal data as DNA that would be synthesised and grafted into the DNA of a seedling, so a tree would grow embodying the deceased person's data.

Primary socialization in sociology is the period early in a person's life during which they initially learn and develop themselves through experiences and interactions. This process starts at home through the family, in which one learns what is or is not accepted in society, social norms, and cultural practices that eventually one is likely to take up. Primary socialization through the family teaches children how to bond, create relationships, and understand important concepts including love, trust, and togetherness. Agents of primary socialization include institutions such as the family, childhood friends, the educational system, and social media. All these agents influence the socialization process of a child that they build on for the rest their life. These agents are limited to people who immediately surround a person such as friends and family—but other agents, such as social media and the educational system have a big influence on people as well. The media is an influential agent of socialization because it can provide vast amounts of knowledge about different cultures and society. It is through these processes that children learn how to behave in public versus at home, and eventually learn how they should behave as people under different circumstances; this is known as secondary socialization. A vast variety of people have contributed to the theory of primary socialization, of those include Sigmund Freud, George Herbert Mead, Charles Cooley, Jean Piaget and Talcott Parsons. However, Parsons' theories are the earliest and most significant contributions to socialization and cognitive development.
Theories
Talcott Parsons
Talcott Parsons theorized that the family is one of the most important institutions during primary socialization and that aside from providing basic essentials such as shelter, food and safety, it teaches a child a set of cultural and social standards that guide the child through life as they mature. However, it is just as important that the child be able to internalize these standards and norms rather than just learn them, otherwise they will not be able to successfully participate in their culture or society later on. According to Parsons' theory, primary socialization prepares children for the various roles they take up as adults, and also has a big influence on the child's personality and emotional state of being. If we skip or try not to focus on primary socialization, norms of the society will not be known by the child.
Sigmund Freud
The physician and creator of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, devised a theory of personality development which states that biological instincts and societal influences shape the way a person becomes as an adult. Freud stated that the mind is composed of three components: the id, the superego and the ego. All of these three parts must cohesively work together in balance so that an individual may be able to successfully interact with and be a part of society. If any of these parts of the mind exceeds the others or becomes more dominant, the individual will face social and personal problems. Of the three components, Freud claims that the id forms first; the id makes a person act strictly for their pleasure. A newborn's mind only contains the id since all they ask for are physical desires. The superego develops as an individual moves into childhood and is described as the development of a conscience. The individual becomes aware that there are societal norms to follow and conforms to them. Lastly, the ego develops into late adolescence and adulthood and is the part of the mind that resolves conflicts between the id and the superego. The ego helps a person make rational decisions that comply with the rules of society.
George Herbert Mead
George Herbert Mead created the theory of social behaviorism, which states that the self is created by social experiences. The self is the portion of the being consisting of self-image and self-consciousness. As individuals interact with others, they build up this self. Unlike Freud, Mead believes that the self is not created by biological instincts, but rather solely by societal influences. He also stated that the use of language and exchanging of symbols to convey meaning is what societal experiences are made up of. Furthermore, one must place themselves in the other person's position to be able to understand them; they must take up the other person's role, and only by understanding the other person's role can self-awareness be achieved.
Charles Horton Cooley
Sociologist Charles Horton Cooley developed the theory of the looking-glass self, which is similar to Mead's theory in that it states that our societal interactions form our self-image. Cooley discussed how significant others are people whose opinions are of importance to us, and thus they have strong influences over the way we think about things and ourselves. In this case, a significant other can be any person: a friend, family member, or spouse. The theory of the looking-glass self proposes three steps for the formation of the self. In the first step, an individual thinks about how a significant other perceives them. In the second step, they imagine that a judgement about them is made by the significant other based on the perception they have of the individual. Lastly, in the third step, the individual creates a self-image based on how they believe the significant other sees them.
Jean Piaget
Psychologist Jean Piaget created the theory of cognitive development, which talks about how the mentality of children develops and matures as they grow older and further interact with society. Piaget defined four main periods of development: the sensorimotor period, the pre-operational period, the concrete operational period and the formal operational period. The sensorimotor period takes place from birth to about two years of age and is defined as the stage when infants learn by using their senses and motor skills. In this stage, the main goal is for an infant to learn that an object still exists even when it is not directly in sight; this is known as object permanence. During the pre-operational period, from roughly two to seven years of age, a child is much more capable of conceiving symbolic thought, but is not capable of reasoning yet. Also, children during this period cannot comprehend conservation, which is the ability to understand that different-looking objects can have the same measurable features, such as area, volume, and length. The next period, the concrete operational period, takes place from ages seven to eleven. In this stage, children are able to solve problems or mental operations, only in regards to real events or tangible objects, in their minds. The final stage is the formal operational period, taking place from age eleven through adulthood, and is the period in which individuals learn to solve problems based on hypothetical situations. During this stage, the individual can think logically, symbolically and abstractly.
Means of socialization
The family
Family, the closest set of people to an individual, are the ones that have the greatest impact on the socialization process. Many people, from birth to early adulthood, rely heavily on their family for support, basic necessities such as shelter and food, nurturing, and guidance. Due to this, many of the influences from the family become a part of the growing individual. The family imposes on the child their language, culture, race, religion, and class, and as a result all of these concepts contribute to the child's self. Failure of the family to be continuously present as a strong influence can lead to deviant behaviors later on in life. Various theories of primary socialization state that the degree of bonding during this process and the norms acquired during childhood may lead to deviant behavior and even drug abuse as an adult. Also, the ego levels of the adults surrounding the person during primary socialization, as well their behaviors towards others, affect the primary socialization process of the individual.
Education and peer groups
Educational systems introduce new knowledge to children as well as order and bureaucracy. In school a child learns about other cultures, races and religions different from their own. Education influences individuals to think and act certain ways that pertain to the norms and values of their current society. One example of this is gender roles; from a young age, schools teach children to act in particular manners based on their gender.
A peer group can be identified as a group of individuals who are similar in age and social class. By joining peer groups, children begin to detach from the authority the family has imposed in them, and start making choices of their own. Negative influences from peer groups can also lead to deviant behavior, due to peer pressure. These groups in an individual's life have significant effects on the primary socialization process as they can influence an individual to think or act differently.
Social and mass media
Social and mass media are some of the most influential agents of socialization. Magazines, television, social networks, newspapers, internet, films, and radio are all forms of mass media that entertain and send messages to large audiences. As a result, all of these messages sent out by social media have an effect on the way children see themselves and the world around them. Some examples of influential messages that are constantly seen from mass media include unrealistic or even unhealthy beauty standards, racial and sexual stereotypes, and violence around the world. These messages can all impact how a child creates their self and how they act as individuals in society.
Boundaries
Primary socialization takes place during infancy, childhood and early adolescence, in which an individual builds their basic core identity and personality. During this process a person forms their self-image and self-awareness through social experience. In primary socialization the family has a grand influence on the individual, as well as peer groups, educational institutions, and mass media. Overlapped with this is the process of secondary socialization, which occurs from childhood through adulthood, wherein an individual encounters new groups, and must take up new roles to successfully participate in society. However, this process involves smaller changes than those of primary socialization and is more so associated with teenagers and adults. During secondary socialization an individual begins to partake in smaller groups of larger societies, and as a result must learn to behave appropriately. The behavioral patterns that were created by the socialization agents during primary socialization are put into action in secondary socialization.

The Social Union Framework Agreement (SUFA) was an agreement made in Canada in 1999 between Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and the premiers of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard. It concerns equality of opportunity, social programs, mobility rights and other rights.
Background
According to Professor Alain Noël, the idea of a Canadian "social union" was a "fairly recent" one at the time of his writing in 1998. It emerged in the 1990s to describe economic and social policies in Canada. However, Noël notes some politicians and academics believed the social union in Canada was older, having been established at Canadian Confederation or after World War II.
Entrenching a social union into the Constitution of Canada was discussed in 1992 with a package of ultimately rejected amendments called the Charlottetown Accord. This social union was proposed by the New Democratic Party of Ontario. The social charter emphasized having common standards of social programs across Canada. Prime Minister Chrétien, coming to power in 1993, was not interested in constitutional reform, but became interested in a social union to repair Canadian federalism after the 1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty.
The Agreement
The agreement reached in 1999 recognized a number of principles and rights of Canadians, including common quality for social programs across Canada, and health care in Canada with "comprehensiveness, universality, portability, public administration and accessibility." The agreement reaffirmed mobility rights for Canadian citizens, and the governments of Canada pledged to establish "no new barriers to mobility" through "new social policy initiatives". The Agreement also stated that "nothing in this agreement abrogates or derogates from any Aboriginal, treaty or other rights of Aboriginal peoples including self-government."
Under the Agreement, new cross-Canada social programs with federal financial support may also be established with the agreement of the federal government and a majority of the provincial governments. As scholar Jennifer Smith notes, "There is no additional requirement of a population minimum" of the provinces supporting the programs. While theoretically the federal government could easily achieve new programs by appealing to "poorer provinces", particularly in Atlantic Canada, Smith notes that this view "assumes... that the poorer provinces are indiscriminate program takers."

Join the Triumph is the second studio album by Citizens & Saints, after their previous album Citizens was released when they were originally named Citizens. The album came out on November 11, 2014 on BEC Recordings.
Reception
From CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis opines "though the group's overtly worshipful and oftentimes redemptive lyrics are as much a focal point as members' commendable creativity." From Cross Rhythms, Matt McChlery references "The recording is predominantly a collection of soaring anthems although there are moments of stillness and quiet that creates an effective ebb and flow to the album... Drawing on a variety of genres and musical styles and using a myriad of amazing synth and keyboard effects, Citizens & Saints have created a top quality project." From Jesus Freak Hideout, Ryan Barbee suggests "Join the Triumph is a great collection of songs to be used within the context of corporate church gatherings, but not much more than that." From New Release Tuesday, Caitlin Lassiter expresses "Join The Triumph seems to be a perfect name for this collection of songs, containing themes of grace, redemption and the greatness of our God running through every track." From Christian Review Magazine, Leah St. John recognizes, "it's a bit of a mixed bag."

Los Angeles's 9th City Council district is one of the fifteen districts in the Los Angeles City Council. It is currently represented by Democrat Curren Price since 2013 after winning an election to succeed Jan Perry, who ran for Mayor of Los Angeles that year.
The district was created in 1925 after a new city charter was passed, which replaced the former "at large" voting system for a nine-member council with a district system with a 15-member council. The district has occupied the same general area since it was formed in 1925. With the city's changes in population, its western boundary has moved farther west to include much of Downtown.
Geography
The 9th formerly covered the entire core of Downtown Los Angeles, before redistricting divided it between the 9th and the 14th District. The district's boundary continues several miles to the south and ends just north of Watts. It includes Vermont Square, Central-Alameda, and Green Meadows, stretching from Downtown and with University of Southern California, Exposition Park, L.A. Live and the Los Angeles Convention Center being notable places within the district.
The district is completely within California's 37th congressional district and California's 28th State Senate district with a part in California's 35th State Senate district, and is part of California's 57th State Assembly district and California's 55th State Assembly district.
Historical boundaries
The district was preceded by the ninth ward, established in 1889 with the passing of the 1888 charter. The ward was situated in Downtown Los Angeles, including Bunker Hill, Los Angeles and Financial District. It elected one member through a plurality vote before the ward became obsolete when the at-large district was re-established again in 1909. The ward had one of the longest serving members before the passing of the 1925 charter, being Republican Everett L. Blanchard who served for fifteen years.
In 1925, the district was created and was bounded on the north by Alhambra Avenue, south by the Vernon city line, east by Indiana Street, and west by Alameda Avenue with the Los Angeles River bisecting it. In 1928, the western boundary was moved west to Hill Street. In 1933, it was bounded on the north by Alhambra Avenue, south by 25th Street, Indiana Street; west, Figueroa Street.
In 1964, it encompassed all of the downtown area. In 1990, it comprised Downtown, Little Tokyo, and Chinatown, and about 70 blocks south of Downtown. A year later, it spanned from Chinatown on the north to 84th Street on the south.

Adna mac Uthidir, Irish poet, fl. 1st-century AD.
Adna mac Uthidir held the post of Chief Ollam of Ireland during the reign of King Conchobar mac Nessa. He lived c. 1 AD. Edward O'Reilly mentions him in his Chronological Account of Irish Writers. Fragments of laws attributed to Adna are to be found in the library of Trinity College. The sages Adhna, Forchern, and Atharne are said to have been the first to collect the axioms of Irish law into one volume. Some sources say he was Chief Poet of Ulster as well as Ireland. An old Irish tale "Immacallam in dá Thuarad" or 'The Colloquy of the Two Sages' tells of his death.

Benacre is a village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of the English county of Suffolk. The village is located about south of Lowestoft and north-east of Wrentham, between the main A12 road and the North Sea coast. Neighbouring villages include Kessingland and Covehithe with the town of Southwold to the south.
The village is dispersed around Benacre Hall, the estate of the Gooch family. It had a population of around 70 in mid-2008. The population declined dramatically during the 20th century from 216 at the 1901 census. The area of the parish extends from the Hundred River in the north to Benacre Broad in the south.
In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village's name is given as Benagra within the Hundred of Blythling. It formed part of the holdings of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds, as it had before the Norman Conquest, with one freeman recorded as living in the manor.
The village has few basic services. The former parish church of St Michael is now privately owned by the Gooch family. It is medieval in origin and a Grade II* listed building, although extensively rebuilt following a fire in the 18th century. The church of St Andrew in Covehithe now acts as the parish church for Benacre.
Benacre Broad forms part of the Benacre National Nature Reserve, an important reserve for over 100 bird species including the marsh harrier, little tern and bittern. The shingle beach also forms an important habitat and the coastal area of the parish is part of the Pakefield to Easton Barents Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The History Boys is a 2006 British comedy-drama film adapted by Alan Bennett from his play of the same name, which won the 2005 Olivier Award for Best New Play and the 2006 Tony Award for Best Play. It was directed by Nicholas Hytner, who directed the original production at the Royal National Theatre in London, and features the original cast of the play.
The school scenes were filmed in Watford in two schools, Watford Grammar School for Boys and Watford Grammar School for Girls. The film uses the uniform of Watford Boys. Locations in Elland and Halifax, West Yorkshire, are used to create the broader landscape of Sheffield in which the story is set.
Plot
In a boys' grammar school in Sheffield in 1983, students Crowther, Posner, Dakin, Timms, Akthar, Lockwood, Scripps, and Rudge have recently obtained the school's highest-ever A-Level scores and are hoping to enter Oxford or Cambridge, by taking a seventh-term entrance exam in History. The General Studies teacher, known to staff and boys alike by his nickname "Hector", is much beloved, and works alongside their deputy head and regular History teacher, Mrs Lintott. The Headmaster, known by all as "Felix", appoints a temporary teacher, Tom Irwin, to help the boys. Irwin states that he was at Jesus College, Oxford, when interviewed by the Headmaster. Prior to the entrance examinations, he says to Dakin that he was at Corpus (Corpus Christi College). Dakin discovers on his interview day at Oxford that Irwin did not attend. Irwin is only a little older than his students but proves to be a bold and demanding teacher, and particularly difficult to impress.
As part of their General Studies, the class acts out scenes from romantic films and literature. At the conclusion of each class, Hector offers a lift to one of the students on his motorbike and it is generally known (and initially dismissed as a joke) that he touches them inappropriately on the ride. The only one he never takes along is Posner, a slight Jewish boy, who doesn't hide his infatuation with Dakin. Dakin, who characterises himself as an aspiring lecher, is currently pursuing an affair with the headmaster's secretary, Fiona. He is not displeased by Posner's attention, but finds himself increasingly interested in Irwin. Gradually, Dakin's quest to impress Irwin on an intellectual level evolves into a flirtatious, potentially sexual pursuit of his young teacher, who is visibly attracted to Dakin. Meanwhile, Hector's indiscretions are shockingly revealed and Felix instructs him to "retire early".
The boys continue their studies and all gain places at Oxford and Cambridge, including the dimwitted Rudge, with Posner winning a scholarship and Dakin an exhibition (although both Felix and Scripps later refer to it as a scholarship). On the day they gathered at school on receiving their results, Dakin calls out Irwin on his lie of attending Oxford, Irwin admits that he studied at Bristol and attended Oxford only for a teaching diploma, then Dakin asks him out for a drink, overtly revealing his sexual interest in him, much to Irwin's confusion and repressed enthusiasm. They agree to get together that very Sunday. Dakin then proceeds to the Headmaster's office and, by threatening to reveal Felix's own sexual harassment of Fiona, forces him to reinstate Hector.
As the boys prepare to leave the grammar school, Hector, revealing that he is staying at the school, agrees to give Dakin a ride home on the motorbike "for old times' sake". However, before they leave, the headmaster runs out and stops them, saying that Hector should not take one of the boys. He suggests that Hector take Irwin instead. Dakin gladly hands the helmet to him, and the screen fades to white as they drive off, the boys waving happily and laughing.
A motorcycle accident occurs off-screen, and Hector is killed, although Irwin survives with a broken leg. Dakin (in voiceover) says that Irwin had never been on the back of a bike and so may have unbalanced Hector, causing the accident, and that he and Irwin never got a chance to meet that Sunday. The boys sing "Bye Bye Blackbird" at Hector's memorial service and the Headmaster gives a general speech. Mrs Lintott then turns and asks: "Will they come to my funeral, I wonder?" The school hall is shown with only the boys sitting and each recounts his life. Akthar is a headmaster, Crowther a magistrate, Timms a drug-taking dry-cleaning manager, and Dakin a tax lawyer. Lockwood, a junior army officer, was killed by friendly fire at the age of 28. Rudge is a builder, Scripps a journalist, and Irwin makes history TV programmes, though Mrs Lintott says they are more journalism. Posner is a teacher and takes the same approach that Hector did, save for the touching. The final shot shows the boys and teachers standing at the field trip lawn, with Hector's voice encouraging them to "pass it on".

Reception
Richard Schickel of Time opined that the film is better than the original play. He explained that the transformation to film improved the "flow and intimacy" of the production, while preserving the messages it seeks to convey. Rolling Stone notes that some sense of familiarity with the subject of the film is lost in the cutting of nearly an hour from the original play, but the dialogue remains witty and pointed as is the customary style of the author. New York describes the film as "brilliant and infectious", and filled with Alan Bennett's customary deadpan humour.
Awards
The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures named The History Boys one of the Top Ten Films in its 2006 awards.
The film was nominated for the 2007 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film – Limited Release.
Griffiths and de la Tour received BAFTA nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.

Season Ticket: A Baseball Companion is a 1988 book written by Roger Angell, whose previous works include Five Seasons, Late Innings, and the New York Times best-seller, The Summer Game. Angell is considered one of the country's premier baseball writers.
Summary
Season Ticket is a collection of articles written by Angell for The New Yorker magazine between 1984 and 1987. The articles are presented as 15 chapters in the book starting with a 1987 article that discuses different aspects of the game. Successive articles, as explained in the book's preface, generally follow the 1984-1987 chronology except where Angell believed that an out of order approach improved the book's logical flow.
Chapter 1: La Vida. In the book's first chapter, written in 1987, Angell visits several spring training facilities. One of the visits included a conversation with Earl Weaver, the manager of the Baltimore Orioles. Weaver, during the conversation, mentioned the durability of the Orioles' Cal Ripken and how he had predicted in 1982 that Ripken was so good that he could be written into the lineup for the next 15 years. His comment about Ripken, who in 1995 set baseball's the all time consecutive games played record, has been referred to as "…one of the most incredibly prescient (and well-documented) "first-guesses" in recorded literature."
Chapter 2: In the Fire. A discussion of catching with Bob Boone, Tim McCarver, Carlton Fisk, and Ted Simmons.
Chapter 3: The Baltimore Fancy. Angell focuses on the success of the Orioles, concluding the chapter with a review of the 1983 World Series where Baltimore defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in five games.
Chapter 4: Easy Lessons. A tour of 1984 spring training camps includes talks with players Reggie Jackson, Rusty Staub, and Oakland Athletics owner Roy Eisenhardt.
Chapter 5: Being Green. An entire chapter devoted to Eisenhardt's attempt to build a successful and profitable Oakland team.
Chapter 6: Tiger, Tiger. Written in October 1984, chapter 6 discusses the American League and National League pennant races that culminate in the 1984 World Series between the Detroit Tigers and San Diego Padres.
Chapter 7: Taking Infield. Former Red Sox second baseman Jerry Remy and San Francisco Giants manager Bill Rigney are among those that Angell converses with while describing the challenges of playing the infield.
Chapter 8: Summery. The summer of 1985 featured the success of The New York Mets, Orioles, and Red Sox.
Chapter 9: Quis. Dan Quisenberry a pitcher for the Kansas City Royals with a unique sidearm pitch is the focus.
Chapter 10: To Missouri. Angell writes about the all-Missouri 1985 World Series between the Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals.
Chapter 11: The Cheers for Keith. Angell visits spring training facilities in 1986 and devotes most of his writing to the cocaine scandals of the day in sports and Keith Hernandez of the Mets.
Chapter 12: Fortuity. Angell writes about the ability of some teams to win and discusses the same with Bill Rigney, Tom Seaver, and Eisenhardt.
Chapter 13: Not So, Boston. Throughout the book Angell reveals that he is a long time fan of both the Red Sox and the Mets, who play against each other in the 1986 World Series. Angell painfully reviews the series to include Bill Buckner’s historic error in game six and the eventual collapse of the Red Sox, despite their 3-2 series lead when they left Boston.
Chapter 14: The Arms Talks. Angell visits spring training facilities in 1987 and has extended discussion with pitchers about the 1980s Split-finger fastball and how the new pitch compared to the 1970s development of the slider. Roger Craig, the San Francisco Giants manager, discussed how he successfully taught the pitch during the decade to many different pitchers.
Chapter 15: Up at The Hall. For the first time in his life, in 1987 Angell visits the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
Reviews
Season Ticket: A Baseball Companion was favorably reviewed by critics, who equally praised both Angell’s understanding and explanation of baseball as well as his ability to create some of the country’s best prose. An example from the book was cited by several reviewers:
Baseball is not life itself, although the resemblance keeps coming up. Old fans, if they're anything like me, can't help noticing how cunningly our game replicates the larger schedule, with its beguiling April optimism; the cheerful roughhouse of June . . . and then the abrupt running-down of autumn, when we wish for--almost demand--a prolonged and glittering final adventure just before the curtain. – excerpt from Chapter 1: La Vida
Other comments from critics include,
As one of the game's delectable accessories, his prose ranks up there with Vin Scully's voice and Gulden's mustard. Unlike the daily newspaper writers he admires, Angell has the luxury of time and space, which meshes nicely with a sport that has no clock and foul lines that extend to infinity. His first collection, 1972's best-selling The Summer Game, has been called the "essential" volume on the sport; subsequent collections, 1977's Five Seasons and 1982's Final Innings, have also won raves. His prose, however, has the grace of Mays and the charm of Stengel: "One begins to see at last that the true function of the Red Sox may be not to win but to provide New England authors with a theme, now that guilt and whaling have gone out of style."
... Angell's prose is like a sunny afternoon in the bleachers at Wrigley Field or Fenway Park: filled with wonder and good cheer and the warm-all-over-feeling of baseball's - and we're talking the game of baseball, not the industry - of baseball's
simple pleasure.
One critic, writing for the Orlando Sentinel, faulted Angell for excessive praise of players and a failure to discuss drug use and the public perception of some baseball players as "lazy" and "overpaid" athletes.

Mojmir Sepe (11 July 1930 – 24 December 2020), nicknamed Mojzes, was a Slovenian composer, conductor, arranger and trumpeter.
Career
In 1949, he graduated from Celje First Grammar School (gymnasium) in Celje. Later he studied piano and trumpet at Ljubljana Academy of Music.
In 1950, he started his professional music career as a promising trumpet player at Radio Ljubljana Dance Orchestra. In 1956, Sepe married Slovenian singer Majda Sepe. He also established the jazz Mojmir Sepe Band (), which published one of the first jazz vinyl records in socialist Yugoslavia. His trumpet career ended after an altercation at Opatija Festival '65 when four guys knocked out a couple of his front teeth as he defended her from having her purse stolen. He committed to composing and conducting, mostly influenced by jazz and swing music.
He collaborated with several Slovenian poets who wrote lyrics for his arrangements. Among them were Frane Milčinski Ježek, Gregor Strniša, Branko Šomen, Miroslav Košuta, and Ivan Minatti.

Brez besed vs. Eres tú plagiarism
Eres tú, the Spanish entry in the 1973 Eurovision Song Contest, has been accused of being a plagiarism of the Slovenian song "Brez besed" performed by Berta Ambrož and representing Yugoslavia at the 1966 Eurovision Song Contest. Brez Besed was written by composer Mojmir Sepe and lyricist Elza Budau, both Slovenians. However, Sepe and Budau never officially complained or filed a lawsuit against Eres Tú composer Juan Carlos Calderón, and therefore nothing further happened.
Eurovision
Sepe represented Yugoslavia two times as composer.
Sepe conducted both his compositions in the Eurovision Song Contest. Additionally, he was the conductor for the Slovenian entries in 1997 and 1998. He was also the Slovenian jury member in the 1993 Eurovision pre-selection.
Personal life
Sepe was married to Majda Sepe, a famous Slovenian singer, for whom he also wrote music. He died on Christmas Eve 2020, at the age of 90. In 1957, the daughter , who later proclaimed herself as a film director, was born to them.

A moat is a deep, broad ditch, either dry or filled with water, that is dug and surrounds a castle, fortification, building, or town, historically to provide it with a preliminary line of defence. In some places moats evolved into more extensive water defences, including natural or artificial lakes, dams and sluices. In older fortifications, such as hillforts, they are usually referred to simply as ditches, although the function is similar. In later periods, moats or water defences may be largely ornamental. They could also act as a sewer.
Historical use
Ancient
Some of the earliest evidence of moats has been uncovered around ancient Egyptian castles. One example is at Buhen, a castle excavated in Nubia. Other evidence of ancient moats is found in the ruins of Babylon, and in reliefs from ancient Egypt, Assyria, and other cultures in the region.
Evidence of early moats around settlements has been discovered in many archaeological sites throughout Southeast Asia, including Noen U-Loke, Ban Non Khrua Chut, Ban Makham Thae and Ban Non Wat. The use of the moats could have been either for defensive or agriculture purposes.
Medieval
Moats were excavated around castles and other fortifications as part of the defensive system as an obstacle immediately outside the walls. In suitable locations they might be filled with water. A moat made access to the walls difficult for siege weapons such as siege towers and battering rams, which needed to be brought up against a wall to be effective. A water-filled moat made the practice of mining - digging tunnels under the castles in order to effect a collapse of the defences - very difficult as well. Segmented moats have one dry section and one section filled with water. Dry moats that cut across the narrow part of a spur or peninsula are called neck ditches. Moats separating different elements of a castle, such as the inner and outer wards, are cross ditches.
The word was adapted in Middle English from the Old French () and was first applied to the central mound on which a castle was erected (see Motte and bailey) and then came to be applied to the excavated ring, a 'dry moat'. The shared derivation implies that the two features were closely related and possibly constructed at the same time. The term moat is also applied to natural formations reminiscent of the artificial structure and to similar modern architectural features.
Later western fortification
With the introduction of siege artillery, a new style of fortification emerged in the 16th century using low walls and projecting strong points called bastions, which was known as the trace italienne. The walls were further protected from infantry attack by wet or dry moats, sometimes in elaborate systems. When this style of fortification was superseded by lines of polygonal forts in the mid-19th century, moats continued to be used for close protection.
Africa
The Walls of Benin were a combination of ramparts and moats, called Iya, used as a defence of the capital Benin City in present-day Edo State of Nigeria. It was considered the largest man-made structure lengthwise, second only to the Great Wall of China and the largest earthwork in the world. Recent work by Patrick Darling has established it as the largest man-made structure in the world, larger than Sungbo's Eredo, also in Nigeria. It enclosed 6,500 km2 of community lands. Its length was over 16,000 km of earth boundaries. It was estimated that earliest construction began in 800 and continued into the mid-15th century.
The walls are built of a ditch and dike structure, the ditch dug to form an inner moat with the excavated earth used to form the exterior rampart.
The Benin Walls were ravaged by the British in 1897. Scattered pieces of the walls remain in Edo, with material being used by the locals for building purposes. The walls continue to be torn down for real-estate developments.
The Walls of Benin City were the world's largest man-made structure. Fred Pearce wrote in New Scientist:
"They extend for some 16,000 kilometres in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They cover 6,500 square kilometres and were all dug by the Edo people. In all, they are four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops. They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet."
Asia
Japanese castles often have very elaborate moats, with up to three moats laid out in concentric circles around the castle and a host of different patterns engineered around the landscape. The outer moat of a Japanese castle typically protects other support buildings in addition to the castle.
As many Japanese castles have historically been a very central part of their cities, the moats have provided a vital waterway to the city. Even in modern times the moat system of the Tokyo Imperial Palace consists of a very active body of water, hosting everything from rental boats and fishing ponds to restaurants.
Most modern Japanese castles have moats filled with water, but castles in the feudal period more commonly had 'dry moats' , a trench. A is a dry moat dug into a slope. A is a series of parallel trenches running up the sides of the excavated mountain, and the earthen wall, which was also called , was an outer wall made of earth dug out from a moat. Even today it is common for mountain Japanese castles to have dry moats. A is a moat filled with water.
Moats were also used in the Forbidden City and Xi'an in China; in Vellore Fort in India; Hsinchu in Taiwan; and in Southeast Asia, such as at Angkor Wat in Cambodia; Mandalay in Myanmar and Chiang Mai in Thailand.
Australia
The only moated fort ever built in Australia was Fort Lytton in Brisbane. As Brisbane was much more vulnerable to attack than either Sydney or Melbourne a series of coastal defences was built throughout Moreton Bay, Fort Lytton being the largest.
Built between 1880 and 1881 in response to fear of a Russian invasion, it is a pentagonal fortress concealed behind grassy embankments and surrounded by a water-filled moat.
North America
Moats were developed independently by North American indigenous people of the Mississippian culture as the outer defence of some fortified villages. The remains of a 16th-century moat are still visible at the Parkin Archeological State Park in eastern Arkansas.
The Maya people also used moats, for example in the city of Becan.
European colonists in the Americas often built dry ditches surrounding forts built to protect important landmarks, harbours or cities (e.g. Fort Jay on Governors Island in New York Harbor).
Photo gallery
Modern usage
Architectural usage
Dry moats were a key element used in French Classicism and Beaux-Arts architecture dwellings, both as decorative designs and to provide discreet access for service. Excellent examples of these can be found in Newport, Rhode Island at Miramar (mansion) and The Elms, as well as at Carolands, outside of San Francisco, California, and at Union Station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Additionally, a dry moat can allow light and fresh air to reach basement workspaces, as for example at the James Farley Post Office in New York City.
Anti-terrorist moats
Whilst moats are no longer a significant tool of warfare, modern architectural building design continues to use them as a defence against certain modern threats, such as terrorist attacks from car bombs and improvised fighting vehicles. For example, the new location of the Embassy of the United States in London, opened in 2018, includes a moat among its security features - the first moat built in England for more than a century. Modern moats may also be used for aesthetic or ergonomic purposes.
The Catawba Nuclear Station has a concrete moat around some of the plant. (Other sides of the plant are bordering a lake.) The moat is a part of precautions added to such sites after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Safety moats
Moats, rather than fences, separate animals from spectators in many modern zoo installations. Moats were first used in this way by Carl Hagenbeck at his Tierpark in Hamburg, Germany. The structure, with a vertical outer retaining wall rising direct from the moat, is an extended usage of the ha-ha of English landscape gardening.
Border defence moats
In 2004 plans were suggested for a two-mile moat across the southern border of the Gaza Strip to prevent tunnelling from Egyptian territory to the border town of Rafah.
In 2008 city officials in Yuma, Arizona planned to dig out a two-mile stretch of a wetland known as Hunters Hole to control immigrants coming from Mexico.
Pest control moats
Researchers of jumping spiders, which have excellent vision and adaptable tactics, built water-filled miniature moats, too wide for the spiders to jump across. Some specimens were rewarded for jumping then swimming and others for swimming only. Portia fimbriata from Queensland generally succeeded, for whichever method they were rewarded. When specimens from two different populations of Portia labiata were set the same task, members of one population determined which method earned them a reward, whilst members of the other continued to use whichever method they tried first and did not try to adapt.
As a basic method of pest control in bonsai, a moat may be used to restrict access of crawling insects to the bonsai.

Rouslan Borysovych Bodelan (, ; born 4 April 1942) is a Soviet and Ukrainian politician.
Biography
Soviet times
Rouslan Bodelan started his career in 1959 as a sports coach/teacher in a secondary school. In 1961, he began his work at the "Odessilbud" construction company (within its Construction and Field Assembly Department #14) in Balta.
Since 1964 Bodelan is active in politics, being member and functionary in Komsomol, Communist Party of the Soviet Union and other Soviet organizations. In 1965, he became a First Secretary (Head) of Kiliia Raion Komsomol Organization. His top position in CPSU was the First Secretary of Odesa Regional Committee, which he occupied in April 1990.
Career in independent Ukraine
On 3 April 1990, Bodelan was elected member of the Odesa Oblast Soviet (council). He was later elected a chairman of this council and was occupying this position up to April 1998. Simultaneously, Bodelan was a head of Odesa Oblast State Administration (i.e. governor) in July 1995 – May 1998, member of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) of Ukraine in 1994–1998, a member of Maritime Policy Commission under President of Ukraine in 1995–1998, head of the Commonwealth of Danube States' Executive Group in 1996–1997.
In August 1998 Bodelan was elected a mayor of Odesa city. He was re-elected as mayor in 2002, but election results were challenged in courts. In 2005 an Odesa court ruled the elections void and proclaimed Eduard Gurvits a legal Mayor of Odesa.
While mayor Bodelan allegedly took active part in a wide-range electoral fraud in favor of pro-government candidates during the 2004 presidential election. After the Orange Revolution he fled to Russia. An investigation of his mayoral activities was opened soon after, Bodelan was charged with abuse of office.
Immigration and return
Bodelan is currently wanted under an Interpol search warrant, but Russian authorities refuse to extradite him. He was granted Russian citizenship in 2006 (which automatically revokes his Ukrainian citizenship) and a position of deputy director of the Saint Petersburg Sea Port. Bodelan refused to return to Ukraine voluntarily, claiming he is afraid of political prosecution by supporters of former president Viktor Yushchenko. On 9 April 2010 the ex-mayor returned to Odesa.
Awards
Rouslan Bodelan was awarded with a number of Soviet and Ukrainian decorations and medals, including Order of the Red Banner of Labour, "Decoration of Honour" Order, Order of Merits III grade, order of St. Volodymyr II grade.

Biography
Born in Fontainebleau, Seine-et-Marne, Fontenoy worked as a journalist for the Havas news agency from 1924 to the mid-1930s in Russia then China. In China, he founded the French-language Journal de Shanghai and became the subject of a gossip campaign suggesting that he was having an affair with Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek's wife.
Returning to France he sought involvement in politics, initially with the French Communist Party before he switched to the French Popular Party, a group that he left in 1939 because of his personal dislike of its leader, Jacques Doriot. Before long, however, Fontenoy put his personal issues to one side, rejoined the PPF and played a leading role in helping to reorganise the movement, and he also wrote widely not only for the PPF newspapers but also for the likes of L'Insurgé and Je suis partout.
Despite his skill as an organiser and writer, Fontenoy began to develop a reputation for eccentricity that was aided by his personal habits. Already an alcoholic, Fontenoy was widowed in 1941 and began to abuse opium and morphine. He was also seriously injured after volunteering for service in the Winter War and the head wounds that he sustained led to brain damage.
After those instances, Fontenoy continued to be a leading figure on the far right, but his actions came to be somewhat more erratic. In 1938 he married Madeleine Charnaux.
For a time, he served Pierre Laval as his personal envoy to Otto Abetz. That was followed by the launch of the newspaper La Vie Nationale, which proved short-lived and was followed by a number of equally-short-lived collaborationist reviews.
He was a founder of Mouvement Social Révolutionnaire and became leader of the group in 1942 after Eugène Deloncle had stepped aside. However, Fonteony soon lost interest in what was a declining group. He then switched over to the National Popular Rally and formed part of the five-man directorate, chaired by Marcel Déat, that led the group.
During that period, Fontenoy became fixated with the notion that Doriot was plotting to kill him despite a lack of evidence. That played a role in his next move in which he enrolled in the Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism (LVF) and was sent to the Eastern Front. He served as LVF propaganda chief who was also acting as a spy. He was killed while he was fighting the Soviets in Berlin a few days before the end of the war after he had been fatally shot in the head.

Joseph Francis Page (October 28, 1917 – April 21, 1980), nicknamed Fireman and The Gay Reliever, was an American professional baseball relief pitcher. Page, who was left-handed, played in Major League Baseball with the New York Yankees from to and with the Pittsburgh Pirates in .
Professional career
Page was signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent in . After spending time in the Yankees farm system, Page made his Major League Baseball debut on April 19, where he began his career as a starter.
In his rookie season (starting 16 games, and relieving in three others), Page was voted to play in the All-Star Game and ended his season with over 100 innings pitched and a 4.56 ERA. The next season, Page suffered a shoulder injury, which led him to start only nine of the twenty games he pitched. That season, Page improved his ERA to 2.82, along with a 6–3 record.
In , Page split his time between closing and starting games, and he picked up three saves while posting a 3.57 ERA and a 9–8 record. In , Page spent practically the whole season in the bullpen and only started twice. He was voted to play in the All-Star Game once again, because of his 2.48 ERA and a 14–8 record. He also led the American League with 17 saves this season. (Note that the save statistic was not an official baseball statistic until 1969, and had not even entered common usage until well after Page did this; this feat is something that is only retroactively appreciated. However, it was certainly appreciated at the time that Page played a greater than average role as the Yankees relief pitcher, at a time when there was no generally acknowledged "closing pitcher" role in baseball, and when starting pitchers were more often expected to finish complete games.)
His fourteen relief wins in 1947 was an American League record until Luis Arroyo broke it in . He was fourth in the league in American League MVP voting. In the seventh game of the 1947 World Series he earned the save by inducing Brooklyn Dodgers hitter Eddie Miksis to hit into a series-ending double play.
In , Page finished second in the American League in saves. He also struck out 77 in 107.2 innings, pitched in the All-Star game for the third time, and led the league with 55 appearances.
The following season, Page had a 13–8 record and a 2.59 ERA. He finished first in the American League in saves with 27, again with no fanfare at the time because the save was not a recognized baseball statistic. He gave up 103 hits in 135.1 innings and struck out 99 batters. He was again named to play in the All-Star Game, and finished first in the league in three categories: games finished, games pitched, and saves. Page won the inaugural Babe Ruth Award for his performance in the 1949 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers, winning game three of the Series. He also finished third in the American League MVP voting.
Page struggled during the season and was not part of the Yankee playoff roster. He was sent to the minors for the season, and was released on May 16. He spent in the minors, and was out of baseball altogether in 1953. On April 12, , Page was signed as a free agent by the Pittsburgh Pirates, appearing in seven games, posting an 11.17 ERA. Page was released by the Pirates on June 1, one week after his final appearance.
Page finished his eight-year career in the majors with a career record of 57–49, a 3.53 ERA, 76 saves, and 519 strikeouts in 790.0 innings pitched. Alvin Dark, a player in Page's day and later a big-league manager, credits Page's success as a relief pitcher in bringing greater attention to the role.
Page was a competent hitter for a pitcher, posting a .205 batting average (47-for-229) with 20 runs, 2 home runs and 26 RBI.

Giovine Orchestra Genovese (also known as GOG) is an Italian music organization, concert society and cultural association, founded in 1912 in Genoa by Giovanni Semeria. A nonprofit organization, it organizes and produces classical and chamber music concerts and promotes musical education for students.
The current President is Nicola Costa while Pietro Borgonovo leads the artistic direction.
Nowadays, Giovine Orchestra Genovese concert seasons are some of the most attended in Italy, with almost 1.000 subscribers and an average attendance of 40.000 customers per year.
History
Among the oldest concert societies in Italy, Giovine Orchestra Genovese was founded in 1912 in Genoa by Giovanni Semeria, a priest, writer and public speaker, one of the greatest Italian catholic personalities of the 20th century.
The origin of Giovine Orchestra Genovese is linked to the birth and the increase of concert societies and musical associations in Italy. By the end of the 19th century symphonic and chamber music, previously ignored or underperformed there, partly due to Opera long-time domination, saw a considerable audience boost. During these years Genoa, one of the most industrialized cities in Italy, refined its cultural citylife. The main location of musical performances was the Teatro Carlo Felice, built in 1824, but a city permanent orchestra had yet to be founded.
The actual purpose of Giovanni Semeria and the composer Mario Barbieri, Giuseppe Martucci's pupil, was to create a permanent orchestra and a musical society at the same time. That was to be formed both by professional players and "active members", the latter being culture high-profile personalities, chamber music lovers and concert regular attenders who would gave their financial support, in spite of directly joining the orchestra.
The original statute established Giovine Orchestra Genovese as a "musical culture association" and set up its purpose: "playing instrumental music and promoting or encouraging every valid project being able to spread musical culture". Arturo Toscanini became the Honorary President in 1921.
During the 20s the association hosted many internationally renowned artists such as Mieczyslaw Horszowski, Wilhelm Backhaus, Vladimir Horowitz, Walter Gieseking, Nathan Milstein and Francis Poulenc, progressively turning into a society specialised in producing and organizing concerts rather than a proper orchestra with its own players. The orchestra itself would ultimately break off after World War II.
Concert programs in the 30s grew up both musically and artistically, thus beginning to offer some richer repertoires played by even more prestigious performers. However, Italy's entrance into World War II caused a serious decrease of these activities: frequent allied bombings on Genoa led the association to transfer its events to Rapallo until 1944, before completely stopping them all.
Giovine Orchestra Genovese was successfully revived by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli's piano recital in 1945 and quickly became one of the most recognized international music societies. Yehudi Menuhin, Andrés Segovia, Mstislav Rostropovich, Dinu Lipatti, Sviatoslav Richter and Benjamin Britten were only some of the "big" performers playing in Genoa during the post War period.
One of the great contributions of the association has been the "talent scouting" of new talented artists, many of whom had previously won several international competitions: Maurizio Pollini, Martha Argerich, Uto Ughi, Salvatore Accardo and many others. Still today, the association continues to give hospitality to the winners of the major music competitions, especially from the International Chopin Piano Competition and the International Tchaikovsky Competition: Grigory Sokolov, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Viktoria Mullova, Krystian Zimerman and many other globally renowned musicians.
Starting from the 60s, Giovine Orchestra Genovese has begun to explore specific themes, sounds and concepts, as well as new composers' repertoires, resulting in peculiar differences and creative distinctions among seasonal programs: many concerts have been dedicated, for example, to Jazz music, American and oriental music, percussions, choral, avant-garde, electronic, experimental and even rock music, but also to particular chamber music formations such as violin and piano, cello and piano, trios, quartets (Shostakovich's, Bartók's, Beethoven's, Mozart's and Schubert's) and quintets. Notable performers of these genres have been Luciano Berio, Adriano Guarnieri, Al Di Meola and Richard Galliano. The genoese violin tradition, undoubtedly linked to violinist Niccolò Paganini, has always had a great influence on the majority of Giovine Orchestra Genovese programs, resulting in several concerts dedicated to virtuoso performers and to the winners of the Paganini Competition: Salvatore Accardo, Gidon Kremer, Leonidas Kavakos, Isabelle Faust and the current 1st prize In Mo Yang.
Since 1991 Giovine Orchestra Genovese has been organizing its main concerts at Teatro Carlo Felice. Other locations are Genoa Cathedral, Chiesa del Gesù, Conservatorio "Niccolò Paganini" and the Palazzi dei Rolli.
Aside from these ones, the association hosts its theatre shows and musical performances for children and students (named as Rassegne di Teatro Musicale per Ragazzi) at Teatro di Sant'Agostino.
In 1997 Giovine Orchestra Genovese was awarded the Premio Franco Abbiati della critica musicale italiana.
100th anniversary celebrations
2012 marked the centennial anniversary of Giovine Orchestra Genovese and was celebrated within two concert seasons. Many artists, musicians and cultural and political personalities such as Salvatore Accardo, Annamaria Cancellieri, Bruno Canino, Riccardo Muti, Renzo Piano, Maurizio Pollini, Uto Ughi and Fabio Vacchi joined a special Honorary Committee of the Centennial, created on that occasion. During both the concert seasons Giovine Orchestra Genovese had organized some conferences and meetings to recount the first hundred years of its own life and released a commemorative book, "GOG 100. Un secolo di Giovine Orchestra Genovese", including some historical manuscripts, letters, concert posters, documents, acts and photos, which also contains the original Statute, the Orchestra rule book and the list of all Presidents and Artistic Directors since 1912.
The main event of the 100th anniversary has been the concert of the Orchestra Mozart, conducted by Claudio Abbado, on December 8, 2012.
Activity
Nowadays, Giovine Orchestra Genovese, a non-profitable organization since 2004, has established itself as one of the finest cultural centres in Italy and shares, along with the Teatro Carlo Felice own Opera and symphonic seasons, the greatest musical offering in Genoa.
Concert programs include piano recitals, chamber music formations, orchestras, choirs and vocal performers. The association also works closely with the main cultural, didactical and formative institutions in Genoa, in order to improve its offering: Doge's Palace, Teatro di Sant'Agostino, Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Spinola, University of Genoa, Conservatorio "Niccolò Paganini".
Thanks to the active collaboration with the city high schools, the Conservatorio "Niccolò Paganini" and the University of Genoa, Giovine Orchestra Genovese supports young talented musicians by organizing lessons, concerts, listening sessions, conferences and meetings with famous musicians such as Uto Ughi and Maurizio Pollini. Similar activities have been successfully offered to penal institutions inmates.
Artistic direction
From 1986 to 1995 pianist Bruno Canino was the Artistic Director of Giovine Orchestra Genovese. Conductor and oboist Pietro Borgonovo has been leading the artistic direction since 2000.

Mary Morten, a lifelong activist in Chicago, has dedicated her voice to advocate for marginalized communities.
Morten was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in 1996. Morten served as the first African-American president of the Chicago chapter of the National Organization for Women, is an author and filmmaker on African-American lesbian experiences, and has led organizations such as the Chicago Abortion Fund and Chicago Foundation for Women. Of note, Morten directed the City of Chicago's Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian issues in 1996.
History
Morten attributes her work as an activist to her mother, who believed in the civil rights era's Call to Action: If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Notable in Morten's activist career is her volunteer role in Geraldine Ferraro's 1984 vice-presidential campaign. During that time, Morten walked into the local chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and noted the lack of women of color present, and decided that had to change. "I walked in and never left," said Morten. Morten eventually became president of NOW and since led groups including the Women's Self-Employment Project and Chicago Abortion Fund.
In 1996, Morten became a member of A Real Read, a Chicago's African American Lesbigaytrans Performance Ensemble. This theatre company aimed to represent a community living under the dual minority status related to race and sexual orientation. A Real Read addressed issues such as: HIV and AIDS prevention, homophobia, religion, women and transgender issues. Through their poetry, prose, music, and vignettes, the group gave a voice to a community often silenced, while offering performances that reflected the universal.
In her role at the Mayor's office, Morten led the community-based coalition for the film, It's Elementary, an educational film for use in staff development trainings for Chicago Public Schools and developed the anti-racism project, The Color Triangle, for the LGBT community. In addition, Morten helped to found the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance and is a former board member of Chicago's Center on Halsted and of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
In 2000, Mary Morten was named director of anti-violence prevention office for the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH). Morten coordinated CDPH's citywide violence prevention efforts and was responsible for the implementation of Prevent Violence! Chicago, the city's strategic violence prevention plan.
Beginning in 2007, Morten served as associate and interim executive director for the Chicago Foundation for Women.
Morten has worked with Barack Obama since he was a state senator in the late 1990s."Barack is totally comfortable with gay people...he mentioned gays in his announcement speech in Springfield, I11., which he didn't have to do. But it's not just a media opportunity with him. He is part of the community.".
Mary Morten also worked on Obama's presidential campaign and is a regular visitor to the Obama White House. When the White House hosted a reception to celebrate Gay Pride month in 2009, Morten was part of the Chicago entourage that celebrated with the President and First Lady.
Current work
Currently, Morten is the president of Morten Group, through which Mary Morten specializes in social change through skills development, public policy and advocacy for the betterment of women, people of color and the LGBT community
Morten is also currently producing a documentary inspired by the research of Cathy Cohen's work with the Black Youth Project, at the University of Chicago. The film is titled, "Woke Up Black" and explores the attitudes, actions, and decisions of African-American youth. Of this documentary she is producing, Morten says "I think the media is a powerful tool that is an under tapped resource. Anytime we can talk about issues, whether we're doing an interview on the radio, filming a documentary or using radio to make a presentation to policy makers, I think that we tell the story in a much more compelling way and I think many more people will hear it. I think that most of my goals will focus on media work."

Obinutuzumab, sold under the brand name Gazyva among others, is a humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody used as a treatment for cancer. It was originated by GlycArt Biotechnology AG and developed by Roche.
Medical uses
Obinutuzumab is used in combination with chlorambucil as a first-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
It is also used in combination with bendamustine followed by obinutuzumab monotherapy for the treatment of people with follicular lymphoma as a second line treatment to a regimen containing rituximab.
It was not tested in pregnant women.
Side effects
Obinutuzumab has two black box warnings: hepatitis B reactivation and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
In the clinical trial of obinutuzumab in combination with chlorambucil, participants experienced infusion reactions (69%; 21% grade 3/4), neutropenia (40%; 34% grade 3/4), thrombocytopenia (15%; 11% grade 3/4), anemia (12%), and pyrexia and cough (10% each). More than 20% of subjects had abnormal lab tests including low calcium and sodium, high potassium, increases in serum creatinine and liver function tests, and low albumin levels.
Chemistry
Obinutuzumab is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to an epitope on CD20 that partially overlaps with the epitope recognized by rituximab.
GlycArt's technology platform allowed control of protein glycosylation; the cells in which obinutuzumab is produced were engineered to overexpress two glycosylation enzymes, MGAT3 and Golgi mannosidase 2, which reduce the amount of fucose attached to the antibody, which in turn increases the antibody's ability to activate natural killer cells.
Details of the antibody's structure are disclosed in the 2008 WHO INN naming proposal.
History
Obinutuzumab was created by scientists at GlycArt Biotechnology, which had been founded in 2000 as a spin-out company of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich to develop afucosylated monoclonal antibodies; GA101 was one of its lead products when it was acquired by Roche in 2005.
Roche developed the drug in the US through its US subsidiary, Genentech, and in Japan through its Japanese subsidiary, Chugai. Genentech partnered with Biogen Idec to explore the use of the drug for primary biliary cirrhosis but as of 2014 it appeared the development in that indication had halted.
In November 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved obinutuzumab in combination with chlorambucil as a first-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and was the first drug with breakthrough therapy designation to gain approval.
In October 2014, NICE announced that NHS England would not fund use of the drug, due to data uncertainties in Roche's application. In June 2015, NICE announced that it would fund restricted use of the drug.
In their final recommendation of obinutuzumab, in the January 2015 Pan-Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pERC) for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, published by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health, the list price of obinutuzumab provided by the manufacturer Hoffmann-La Roche was $CDN 5,275.54 per 1,000 mg vial. At the recommended dose obinutuzumab costs $15,826.50" for the first 28-day cycle and "$5275.50 per 28 day cycle for subsequent cycles."
In February 2016, obinutuzumab was approved by the FDA under the Priority Review program for use in combination with bendamustine followed by obinutuzumab monotherapy for the treatment of patients with follicular lymphoma as a secondline treatment to a regimen containing rituximab.
In January 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ibrutinib in combination with obinutuzumab for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma who have not received prior treatment.
Research
As of 2014 clinical trials had been conducted exploring the use of obinutuzumab as a second line monotherapy in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, as a monotherapy for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma in people who had high expression of CD20; and in combination with CHOP chemotherapy as a first line treatment for people with advanced CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It was called GA101 during research.

The Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University () is the fifth oldest medical school in Thailand located in Mueang Khon Kaen District, Khon Kaen Province, the second medical school to be set up in a region outside Bangkok and is the sixth oldest faculty of Khon Kaen University.
History
The construction of the Faculty of Medicine was proposed in 1968 by Prof. Bimala Kalakicha to the council of Khon Kaen University. The proposal was passed on to the governmental cabinet and eventually made it into the 'Third National Economic and Social Development Plan' of 1972-1976. Construction received cabinet approval on 4 August 1972 and the faculty opened on 9 September 1972.The first cohort of medical students were admitted in 1974, selected from students in the Faculties of Science and Arts and consisted of 16 students. In 1973, a proposal was made to the cabinet requesting for assistance from the government of New Zealand in the construction of the university hospital.
The construction of the university hospital was initiated in 1973, designed by the British company Llewelyn-Davies Weeks Forester-Walkers and Bor. and construction by the New Zealand company Kingston Reynolds Thom & Allardice Limited (KRTA). On 19 February 1974, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Queen Sirikit, Princess Sirindhorn and Princess Chulabhorn Walailak laid the foundation for the hospital and the hospital was named Srinagarind Hospital in commemoration of Princess Srinagarindra.The hospital was opened on 15 December 1983.

William Gandy (1655 or 1660–1729), was an English portrait-painter.
Life
Gandy, son of James Gandy, was probably born in Ireland. For some years he was an itinerant painter in Devon and the west of England. He went to Plymouth in 1714, and eventually settled in Exeter. According to Northcote, whose grandfather and father knew and befriended Gandy:
He was a man of a most untractable disposition, very resentful, of unbounded pride, and in the latter part of his life both idle and luxurious; of which I remember to have heard many instances from my father who knew him, and whose portrait he painted when a child.
He was at all times totally careless of his reputation as a painter; and more particularly so if any thing happened in the course of his business to displease him.
He liked people to think that he was a natural son of his father's patron, the Duke of Ormonde, and that he was so much concerned in the duke's affairs that he was not able to make a public appearance in London.
His portraits, though sometimes slight and sketchy, showed real genius, and were frequently admired by great artists. The portrait of the Rev. Tobias Langdon in the college hall at Exeter excited the admiration of Sir Godfrey Kneller. Gandy may also be credited with having directed and stimulated the rising genius of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Reynolds saw Gandy's pictures early in life, and they made a great impression on his mind; he, like Northcote, often borrowed one of Gandy's portraits, probably the Langdon portrait, to study.
He painted Northcote's grandmother, the Rev. Nathaniel Harding of Plymouth, the Rev. John Gilbert, vicar of St. Andrew's, Plymouth (engraved by Vertue as a frontispiece to Gilbert's Sermons), John Patch, surgeon in the Exeter Hospital, the Rev. William Musgrave (engraved by Michael van der Gucht), Sir Edward Seaward in the chapel of the poorhouse at Exeter, Sir Richard Pyne, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland in his judicial robes, Sir William Elwill, and others. Gandy frequently left his pictures to be finished by others. He died in Exeter, and was buried in St. Paul's Church on 14 July 1729.

William Thomas Edward Rolls (6 August 1914 – July 1988) was a British flying ace of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) during the Second World War. He was credited with the destruction of at least 17 aircraft of the Axis powers.
From Edmonton in London, Rolls joined the RAFVR in 1939. Called up for service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) on the outbreak of the Second World War, he was posted to No. 72 Squadron in June 1940. He flew extensively during the Battle of Britain and destroyed a number of aircraft. After the battle, he performed instructing duties until late 1941 when he was posted to No. 122 Squadron and was part of several operations over the French coast. In mid-1942 he was sent to Malta, joining No. 126 Squadron. He shot down a number of aircraft before being hospitalised and repatriated to the United Kingdom as a consequence of injuries received during the aftermath of a bombing raid. Once recovered, he performed staff duties for the remainder of the war. Demobilised from the RAF in 1946, he subsequently worked for a number of government departments, including the Air Ministry. Suffering heart trouble, he died in July 1988.
Early life
Born in Edmonton, London, on 6 August 1914, William Thomas Edward Rolls, known as Bill, was a scholarship student at The Latymer School. Once his education was completed, he worked as an engineering apprentice in a family member's company and as a sideline, made leather goods. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve in March 1939, training at No. 19 Elementary and Reserve Flying Training School at Gatwick and qualifying for his pilot's wings four months later. By this time, he was married.
Second World War
On the outbreak of the Second World War, Rolls was called up for service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a sergeant pilot. He underwent further training, at No. 3 Flying Training School in South Cerney and once this was completed in June 1940, he was posted to No. 72 Squadron. His unit operated Supermarine Spitfires from RAF Acklington, in Northumberland, but at the end of August it moved to Biggin Hill, where it would be heavily involved in the Battle of Britain.
Battle of Britain
Biggin Hill was a station under the control of No. 11 Group, which bore the brunt of the British aerial defence against the increasing attacks of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force). Within two days of No. 72 Squadron's arrival at Biggin Hill, Rolls shot down two German aircraft, a Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighter and a Dornier Do 17 medium bomber, over Kent. Then, on 4 September, he shot down a pair of Junkers Ju 87 divebombers, also over Kent. Another Do 17 was destroyed on 11 September and a second Do 17 was credited as being probably destroyed after Rolls initially claimed it as damaged. His Spitfire was damaged in a dogfight the next day, with bullets passing though the cockpit area close to his chest.
On 14 September Rolls shot down a Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter in an engagement near Canterbury, the German aircraft going on to crash at Bethersden. After an encounter a few days earlier resulted in more damage to his Spitfire, he shot down another Bf 109 on 20 September. This proved to be his last victory in the Battle of Britain as he went on leave the next day. His squadron commander recommended him for the Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM), and this was duly announced in The London Gazette in November. The published citation read:
Rolls spent the next several months resting from operational flying and performing instructing duties, firstly at No. 58 Operational Training Unit (OTU) at Grangemouth and then No. 61 OTU in Heston. This relatively restful period was tarnished by the death of his daughter, born in early 1940, from a heart issue. He returned to operations in October 1941, being posted to No. 122 Squadron, based in Yorkshire. In April the following year, the squadron moved to Hornchurch where it took part in offensive operations to France. By this time he was a pilot officer, having been promoted on 6 January 1942. He destroyed a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 on 17 March while flying over Saint-Omer and was also credited with a probable Fw 190. On 2 June, he helped shoot down a further Fw 190, sharing the confirmed credit with another pilot, near Le Crotoy. He was also credited with the probable destruction of a Fw 190.
Malta
In late June Rolls was posted to RAF Debden in preparation for a posting to Malta, where he was to join part of the island's aerial defences. He was involved in testing whether a Spitfire could be flown off the deck of an aircraft carrier, HMS Furious; his suggestion of fitting a hydromatic propeller proved crucial to the aircraft's ability to achieve the feat. Furious subsequently carried a load of Spitfires and pilots, Rolls among them, for reinforcement of Malta's fighter squadrons, sailing from Greenock in Scotland in late July, bound for Gibraltar. The aircraft carrier departed Gibraltar on 10 August and the following day, Rolls led a flight of seven Spitfires off the deck of the aircraft carrier and onto Malta. He was posted to No. 126 Squadron and was soon in action; on 13 August while patrolling over a shipping convoy during Operation Pedestal, he was credited with destroying a Junkers Ju 88 medium bomber that was attacking the oil tanker SS Ohio. However, aviation historians Christopher Shores and Clive Williams note that this may be a half share, as it is possible that the commander of the squadron, Squadron Leader Bryan Wicks, inflicted damage on the Ju 88 as well. Later in the month, Roll was made a flight commander in the squadron.
On 19 September, Rolls and his wingman flew to the Sicilian coast, seeking out E-boats. Approaching Syracuse, he saw the wake of what he assumed was an E-boat but as he flew closer to attack, he realised it was a Dornier Do 24 flying boat that had just taken off. He promptly engaged and destroyed it. The Axis powers stepped up their aerial offensive against Malta in October, with a number of Luftwaffe units transferred to Sicily and North Africa for this purpose. Rolls, promoted to flying officer at the start of the month, was one of several pilots scrambled in the afternoon of 11 October to deal with an incoming raid mounted by 16 Ju 88s that were escorted by over 40 fighters of the Regia Aeronautica (Italian Air Force). He destroyed one Reggiane Re.2001 and damaged another but was attacked in turn; despite his engine being struck by bullets, he safely returned to the squadron's base at Luqa. He shot down a Ju 88 early the next morning over Grand Harbour but in the same engagement, the squadron's commander, Wicks, was killed. Later in the morning, on a second scramble, he engaged two Macchi C.202s near Gozo; he saw one blow up midair and gained hits on the other. The latter was claimed as probably destroyed but he was subsequently credited with the confirmed destruction of both aircraft as two C.202s were seen to have gone down in the sea.
On 25 October Rolls was leading a flight that engaged Italian bombers and escorting C.202s. His aircraft was damaged in the ensuing encounter and one of his pilots, Nigel Park, failed to return. Rolls and other pilots carried out a search and rescue operation but were unable to locate Park, who was subsequently deemed to have been killed. According to another pilot, Rolls had earlier recommended Park for a DFM. The next day, Rolls was flying one of eight aircraft of No. 126 Squadron that intercepted around 35 Bf 109s out from Malta, breaking up the formation. Rolls then patrolled off Filfla and engaged two Bf 109s that he saw diving on Luqa. One was confirmed as destroyed.
The intensity of aerial operations eased in November for Malta's fighter pilots but during the month Rolls suffered a broken leg when the wall of a building, damaged during a bombing raid, fell on him. While in hospital in Malta, he reported meeting the pilot of one of the Ju 88s he had shot down the previous month. Rolls was repatriated to England for treatment and during his return flight, the Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boat on which he was travelling ran out of fuel. It had to put down off the Welsh coast and was towed to port by a destroyer of the Royal Navy. During his hospitalisation at the Royal Naval Hospital in Swansea, his award of a Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) was announced in The London Gazette. The recommendation for the DFC noted his "outstanding leadership" and "great courage and skill".
Later war service
On recovering from his injuries, Rolls was posted to the Air Ministry where he was involved in publicising the RAF's efforts in the war. He gave a number of talks for the "Wings for Victory" fundraising drive. In September 1943, he went to Manby where he commenced a training course at the Air Armament School. On completion of the course in the spring of 1944, he was transferred to the headquarters of No. 12 Group as a specialist in armaments. By this time, he held the rank of flight lieutenant, having been promoted at the start of the year.
In late 1944, Rolls was posted to the Bombing Analysis Unit and his work saw him based in France from June the following year. He subsequently spent a period of time attached to the United States Air Evaluation Board. He ended the war credited with having shot down 17 aircraft with a share in another aircraft destroyed. He is also credited with three probably destroyed and two damaged.
Later life
Demobilised in January 1946, in civilian life Rolls worked for the public service, firstly with the Ministry of Works as a film officer. He then worked for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, based at the organisation's headquarters in London. His role here was as an exhibitions officer, organising events at Olympia and Earl's Court. In 1960 he took a position at the Air Ministry as a senior information officer, producing over 150 training films for the RAF. After eight years, he was appointed director of the Directorate of Training Films Requirements. He retired in September 1975 due to poor health. He died in July 1988, having suffered heart trouble for some time. Prior to his death, his memoirs were published as Spitfire Attack.
In 2008, his son put his medals, which in addition to the DFC and DFM also included the 1939-45 Star with Battle of Britain clasp, Air Crew Europe Star with France and Germany clasp, Africa Star with North Africa 1942-43 clasp, the Defence and War Medals and Air Efficiency Award, up for auction in and they fetched £90,000. The medals are presently owned by Lord Michael Ashcroft.

Pisania, was a settlement in The Gambia. It was visited by the British explorers Mungo Park and Daniel Houghton on their expeditions into the interior of Africa. It has since become the town of Karantaba Tenda.
History
Foundation
In the late 18th century, British traders began independent establishing factories at settlements along the Gambia River. By 1786, a factory had been established north of MacCarthy Island, at a place named Pisania. This factory, and the surrounding settlement, were likely established by two brothers named Aynsley, one of whom, Robert, was likely captured by the French in 1779, but returned soon after. In 1791, the Aynsleys were joined by a surgeon named John Laidley.
Mungo Park
Mungo Park arrived in Pisania from Jufureh in July 1795. He was befriended by Laidley and stayed with him for six months. While in Pisania, he studied Mandinka and collected information on the neighbouring countries. He left Pisania on 1 December, but returned after his journey into the interior of Africa on 10 June 1797. Laidley had died earlier in the year in Barbados, while on his way home to England.
Abandonment
Robert Aynsley had a mixed-race son who had taken over the running of Pisania prior to 1818. He was forced to leave Pisania and travel to Tendaba as raids and conflict between kingdoms on the upper river became more prevalent. In his 1842 expedition, Governor Thomas Lewis Ingram passed by Pisania. He noted that the ruins of the factor were still visible from the river side, although at that point there no inhabitants anymore.

Rubén Aguirre Fuentes (; 15 June 1934 – 17 June 2016) was a Mexican actor and comedian. He was best known for his character in Televisa's 1970s television show El Chavo del Ocho. Aguirre also participated in another well known television show of the era, El Chapulín Colorado, albeit less frequently.
Life and education
Rubén Aguirre was born on 15 June 1934 in the neighborhood of Santa Anita located at Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.
In his book Después de Usted (After You, a common phrase used by his character Professor Jirafales), published in February 2015, he wrote about the difficulty of finding higher education institutions in Mexico during the mid 1950s, since there were very few schools. This is why in his late teenage years, he moved to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, to study in one of the most renowned universities of that time, the Escuela Superior de Agricultura "Hermanos Escobar", where he studied Agricultural Engineering.
Once in Juárez, he would regularly cross into the United States, since according to his memoir, "it was so easy to cross the border back then, I remember I would put on my college jacket on and since the gringo would see that you were a student, he would let you through". Rubén Aguirre worked many times as a gardener in El Paso to make ends meet.
It was in Juárez, as well, where he began his career in the media as an unofficial radio host and bullfighting commentator. His passion to become a radio announcer was so big that he paused his college education to travel to Mexico City and get his radio license.
He returned to Juárez and began working as a radio host; he married his wife Consuelo de los Reyes, whom he met at a bullfight, finished his degree in Agricultural Engineering with a minor in Mechanized Systems and some time after he moved to Monterrey, Nuevo León, where he began his acting career and met Roberto Gómez Bolaños.
Work
When he first began looking for acting work, he was told that at 6'5", he was too tall. Nevertheless, despite his height, he was able to begin his acting career in Monterrey, Nuevo León, working with a character named Pipo, a famous clown. His acting caught the eye of Mexican producer Roberto Gómez Bolaños who asked him to work with him in Mexico City. Aguirre went on to Mexico City where he worked on several television scripts with Gómez Bolaños, creator and main star of both El Chavo and El Chapulín Colorado.
Aguirre garnered fame across Latin America when both El Chavo and El Chapulín Colorado became major international hits. The group of actors that comprised the casts of both shows toured often, and sometimes they would venture out on their own. Aguirre was not the exception, visiting such places as Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Brazil many times. Chespirito owned the rights to El Chavo and El Chapulín Colorado. After Aguirre's participation in both shows was over, he moved to Argentina and opened a circus there. Chespirito had no copyrights in Argentina, and Aguirre was able to name his circus El Circo del Profesor Jirafales.
Death
Aguirre died on 17 June 2016, from pneumonia complications at his home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, two days after his 82nd birthday.

Abbeystead House is a large country house to the east of the village of Abbeystead, Lancashire, England, some 12 km (7 miles) south-east of Lancaster. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
History
Abbeystead House was built in 1886 as a shooting lodge for the 4th Earl of Sefton. It was designed by the Chester firm of architects Douglas & Fordham, who added gun and billiard rooms in 1894. The estate holds the record for the biggest grouse bag in a day; when on 12 August 1915, 2,929 birds were shot by eight guns (shooters).
In 1980 the Abbeystead Estate, totalling and including the house, was bought by a trust relating to the family of the Duke of Westminster.
Architecture
The house is built in sandstone rubble with slate roofs in Elizabethan style. Its plan is an L-shape, with south and east ranges partly enclosing a courtyard. The south range forms the main block while the east range is the service wing which incorporates a four-storey castellated tower. To the east of the main house subsidiary buildings form a second courtyard. The south range has two storeys plus attics and is entered by a porch on its north side. The façade of the north (entrance) front is irregular, and consists of five bays, three of which project forward and are surmounted by gables of different sizes with ball finials. The front also includes mullioned and transomed windows, a dormer, and a pair of round-headed arches in ground floor of the right bay. The outer doorway of the porch has a Tudor arch with the Molyneux arms carved above; it is flanked by small single-storey turrets.
The south (garden) front also has five bays, three of which project forward and two of these are canted. The front again contains mullioned and transomed windows and each bay has a gable with a ball finial. Tall brick chimneys rise from the roofs. Internally, the entrance hall has two fireplaces with panelled overmantels; one of the panels carries a carving of the Molyneux arms. At the back of the room is a timber arcade and the staircase has barley-sugar balusters.
Douglas' biographer, Hubbard, describes Abbeystead as the finest of Douglas' Elizabethan houses and one of the finest and largest he ever designed. Hubbard also suggested that Douglas' plan of a house with irregular gables and a tower grouped round a courtyard may have been inspired by nearby Lancashire medieval houses with pele towers, such as Borwick Hall. However, as Hartwell and Pevsner point out, Douglas also designed towers for his houses in Cheshire and Wales, so it may rather have been "rooted in his own style".
Associated buildings
At the same time that Abbeystead House was being built, Douglas and Fordham designed two lodges for the estate. Lancaster Lodge stands at the head of the drive leading to the house. This has an L-shaped plan and is "quietly Elizabethan" in style. It is a Grade II listed building. York Lodge stands to the east on the road to Dunsop Bridge and is also listed Grade II. In 1891–92 the same architects designed stables and an adjoining pair of cottages for the house.

The World Ski & Snowboard Festival (WSSF) was created by Doug Perry in 1996 as an annual celebration of snowsports, music, arts and mountain culture. The Festival is held each April in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada and has been recognized as the largest annual winter sports and music festival in North America. It has been called the snowsport industry's version of Burning Man.
The festival was developed in a partnership between its founder Perry, Tourism Whistler and Whistler/Blackcomb. The inaugural WSSF in 1996 consisted of 22 sports events and competitions. In subsequent years it underwent exponential growth in attendance and media coverage, resulting in Whistler becoming the busiest mountain resort in North America in the month of April. At its peak, annual attendance reached an estimated 250,000 resort visits and was televised in 122 countries.
An Economic Impact Assessment conducted during the 2006 event found that the WSSF generated $37.7 million in economic activity for the province of British Columbia, with visitor spending and operational expenditure injecting more than $15.7 million into the Whistler economy. Over 28,000 hotel room nights were sold during the Festival, with 86% being directly attributed to WSSF.
In 2006 the ownership of the festival was consolidated in a joint acquisition of Perry's ownership stake by Tourism Whistler and Whistler/Blackcomb.
The predecessor to WSSF was the World Technical Skiing Championships (WTSC). WTSC was created by Doug Perry as the world's first international freeskiing competition. The first event was staged on Blackcomb Mountain in April 1994 and was televised on ESPN in the United States and its international affiliates. WTSC was designed as a made-for-tv invitational event in which world champions, Olympians and skiing legends from the sport's major disciplines vied for the title of world's best all-mountain skier in a decathlon-format competition of freeskiing, GS racing, moguls and steeps down the Saudan Couloir. WTSC was modelled after Japan's largest skiing event, the All Japan Technical Skiing Championships, in which Perry competed as a member of Team Salomon.
The inaugural World Technical Skiing Championships was groundbreaking in that it drew over 100 media outlets to Whistler at a time when the resort was just beginning to emerge as an international destination. The media attention seeded the idea of developing a more diverse annual event with the potential to attract more top athletes, media and attendees to Whistler Resort.
The 1996 World Ski & Snowboard Festival included the 2nd World Technical Skiing Championships, World Masters Alpine Open, Westbeach Snowboard Classic, Whistler Cup, Couloir Extreme Race and a ski industry symposium. Subsequent festivals expanded to include the Whistler Concert Series, World Skiing Invitational, World Snowboarding Invitational, World Snowboarding Championship, Kokanee Boardercross, Salomon Skiercross, Pro Photographer Showdown, Filmmaker Showdown, Brave Art, State of the Art, Fashion Exposed, Multiplicity, Intersection and many others.
The World Ski & Snowboard Festival has included Canada's largest free outdoor concert series with 50 live acts per festival. Acts on the WSSF stage have included The Black Eyed Peas, Justin Timberlake, Nickelback, Michael Franti, Nas, Toots and the Maytals, and others.
From 2001 through 2006, the World Ski & Snowboard was televised as a four-part series on the Global Television Network and was syndicated to 122 countries.
In 2018, the World Ski & Snowboard Festival was acquired in full by Vail Resorts, Inc. upon its acquisition of Whistler Blackcomb. Vail Resorts announced WSSF would continue under new management, Crankworx Events Inc., in a shorter 6-day format, running April 10–15, 2018. Tourism Whistler relinquished its 22-year part ownership of the property. 2018 also marked the return of the Saudan Couloir Ski Race Extreme after a 20-year hiatus. In 2019, Vail Resorts, owner of Whistler Blackcomb, announced the World Ski & Snowboard Festival would be shortened to 5 days, running April 10–14.
In November 2019, the World Ski & Snowboard was acquired in full by Gibbons Whistler from Whistler Blackcomb. The 2020 and 2021 Festival were cancelled due to COVID-19, and returned with a scaled-down weekend format in 2022. In 2023, the Festival returned in a revised format.

"Papermoon" (stylized as "PAPERMOON") is Tommy heavenly6's 9th single and Tomoko Kawase's 16th single overall, which was released on December 10, 2008. Since The Brilliant Green made their comeback, Kawase had been very inactive as a solo singer. Since "Papermoon" has been released, it marks her first solo single in over a year. "Papermoon" was featured as the second opening song to the anime Soul Eater. "Papermoon"'s B-side is a song called "Ruby Shoes", which is possibly in reference to the overall theme of the "Papermoon" music video. "Papermoon" peaked at #10 on the Oricon singles chart.
Music video
The music video features Tommy heavenly6 and her band in a setting which resembles The Wizard of Oz. Her band is dressed in matching attire featuring a tin man, scarecrow, and a lion. Kawase herself is dressed up to resemble Dorothy. Kawase is also shown singing in a room that very much resembles a scene in The Wizard of Oz in which Dorothy's house is taken up into the tornado. Dorothy then looks out the window of her room to see many things and people familiar to her. In the video, things and people from Tommy heavenly6's past videos can be seen. Such as, Tommy February6 and Santa Claus riding a panda bear from Tommy heavenly6's "I Love Xmas" PV, to the cart pulled by a bull she rides in in her "Pray" PV, and other miscellaneous objects.

Jedi is a game engine developed primarily by Ray Gresko for LucasArts. It is very similar to the Build engine used in Duke Nukem 3D. While not a true 3D engine, it supported a three-dimensional environment with no limitations in the 3rd dimension (Z). In Doom, environments or levels were limited to existing in the X-Y plane only – levels were laid out two-dimensionally: while floor and ceiling heights could differ, areas could not overlap vertically. The Jedi Engine had support for areas or rooms (called "sectors") on top of one another, a trait that it shared with the Build engine. In the Dark Forces revision of the engine, the renderer could not display two rooms situated on top of each other simultaneously. This capability was added for Outlaws.
The Jedi Engine also included the ability to jump and crouch, the ability to look up and down, and atmospheric effects (achieved by careful manipulation of 256-color palette files). The engine is limited in its rendering capabilities, however, and used two-dimensional sprites (pre-rendered in different angles) for most of its object graphics. Other LucasArts techniques such as the iMuse sound system were incorporated.
Its lifetime was short-lived, being used in two titles, Star Wars: Dark Forces and Outlaws. The sequel to Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, used the Sith engine.
There have been attempts of open source game engine recreations based on reverse engineering the original source code.

Irlam Football Club is a football club based in Irlam, within the city of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. They are currently members of the and play at Silver Street.
History
The club was established in October 1969 as Mitchell Shackleton Football Club by workers at the Mitchell, Shackleton and Company engineering firm in Patricroft. They joined the Eccles & District Amateur Football League the following year, before transferring to the Manchester Amateur League in 1972. They were Division Three champions in 1973–74 and won the Division Two title the following season. League restructuring saw them placed in the Industrial 'B' Division. They were runners-up in 1979–80 and went on to finish second in the Industrial 'A' Division in 1983–84, also winning the Gosling Cup.
Mitchell Shackleton were Industrial 'A' Division runners-up again in 1985–86, before switching to Division One of the Manchester League in 1989. After finishing the 1990–91 season as Division One runners-up, they were promoted to the Premier Division. The club were subsequently Premier Division runners-up in 1994–95. In 2001 the club was renamed Irlam Mitchell Shackleton, and the 2002–03 season saw them win the Premier Division title. They won the Manchester Challenge Cup in 2003–04, and were Premier Division runners-up in 2004–05. After winning the Challenge Cup again in 2005–06, the club adopted its current name.
Despite only finishing eighth in 2007–08, Irlam were promoted to Division One of the North West Counties League. The club won the Manchester Charter Standard Cup in 2009–10, defeating Wythenshawe Town 3–2 in the final. They were Division One runners-up in 2015–16, earning promotion to the Premier Division.
Season-by-season
Ground
The club was initially based at the Oddfellows Arms in Patricroft, but moved to St Michaels Community Centre in Peel Green in 1973. In 2002 the club learnt that their Salteye Park was to be requisitioned to build Salford Reds' new stadium. As a result, they moved to Silver Street in Irlam, which had formerly been the home ground of Irlam Town. The ground was opened with a match against the Manchester United youth team.

Syllepte venustalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Charles Swinhoe in 1894. It is found in Meghalaya, India.
The wings are dull ochreous, with pale black bands and spots. The forewings with an interior line from the hindmargin at one third, curving round on to the costa near the base. There is a subbasal spot on the hindmargin, a spot within the cell, a larger spot at the end and a discal line of lunular spots joined together from the costa at one-third, curving inwards, then outwards, then bent inwardly to below the outer cell-spot and downwards to the hindmargin just beyond the middle. The hindwings have a discal line with a straight, rather thick band running right through it, leaving the outwardly curved portion of the line only visible. Both wings have a marginal lunular thick line, with the extreme margin ochreous.

A segmentation gene is a generic term for a gene whose function is to specify tissue pattern in each repeated unit of a segmented organism. Animals are constructed of segments; however, Drosophila segments also contain subdivided compartments. There are five gene classes which each contribute to the segmentation and development of the embryonic drosophila. These five gene classes include the coordinate gene, gap gene, pair-rule gene, segment polarity gene, and homeotic gene. In embryonic drosophila, the pair-rule gene defines odd-skipped and even-skipped genes as parasegments, showing 7 stripes in the embryo. In the next gene class, segment polarity gene, individual segments each have their own anterior and posterior pole, resulting in 14 segments. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, segment polarity genes help to define the anterior and posterior polarities within each embryonic parasegment by regulating the transmission of signals via the Wnt signaling pathway and Hedgehog signaling pathway. Segment polarity genes are expressed in the embryo following expression of the gap genes and pair-rule genes. The most commonly cited examples of these genes are engrailed and gooseberry in Drosophila melanogaster. The segment polarity is the last step in embryonic development and a repeated pattern where each half of each segment is deleted and a mirror-image is duplicated and reversed to replace that half segment; thus, forming a pattern element.
Segment polarity in Drosophila
Segmentation polarity occurs during the release of morphogens, which functions to differentiate patterns within sections. The development of a pattern depends on the gradients of these morphogens.
Engrailed
In Drosophila, the engrailed gene is expressed only in cells within the posterior section of every segment. Its role is to distinguish posterior from anterior sections of each segment. Engrailed expression is generally restricted to cells in the posterior compartment but research suggests it may have other functions.
Gooseberry
The gooseberry gene's role in segmentation was believed to be involved in segment-polarity class of segmentation genes required for the formation of larval segments because, during embryogenesis, half of the larval segments are replaced by the remain half segment, but in a reversed polarity, which suggested that gooseberry was a single gene. However, it is believed that this mechanism is controlled by two duplicated genes instead of one, which are called gooseberry (gsb) and gooseberry neuro (gsbn).
Development of the Central Nervous System (CNS)
Research into zygotes of Drosophila have indicated that several segment polarity genes are vital for segmentation involved in neuroblast formation and differentiation of cell into their neuroblast identity; thereby, developing the central nervous system. Research on the loss-of-function mutations in these genes of Drosophila suggests that segment polarity genes interactions are also responsible for neuroblast division, affecting the quantity of neuroblasts as well as their specificity.
