Bloody Sunday is a 2002 film written and directed by Paul Greengrass based around the 1972 "Bloody Sunday" shootings in Derry, Northern Ireland. Although produced by Granada Television as a TV film, it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 16 January, a few days before its screening on ITV on 20 January, and then in selected London cinemas from 25 January.
Bloody Sunday is an international co-production of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Though set in Derry, the film was mostly shot in Ballymun in North Dublin, with some location scenes were shot in Derry, in Guildhall Square and in Creggan on the actual route of the in 1972.
Content
The film was inspired by Don Mullan's politically influential book Eyewitness Bloody Sunday (Wolfhound Press, 1997). The drama shows the events of the day through the eyes of Ivan Cooper, an SDLP Member of the Parliament of Northern Ireland who was a central organiser of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in Derry on 30 January 1972. The march ended when British Army paratroopers fired on the demonstrators, killing thirteen and wounding another who died four and a half months later. In addition to the deaths, fourteen other people were wounded.
A live version of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 plays over the closing credits.
Casting and production
Cooper is played by James Nesbitt, himself a Protestant from Northern Ireland. In recognition of the role his book played in achieving the new Bloody Sunday Inquiry, his book's role as inspiration for the movie, and the fact that he was a schoolboy witness to the tragedy, Don Mullan was asked by director Paul Greengrass to appear in the film as a Bogside Priest. A number of the military characters were played by ex-members of the British Army, including Simon Mann. Gerry Donaghy was played by Declan Duddy, nephew of Jackie Duddy, one of those killed on Bloody Sunday. Big Brother 2007 housemate Seány O'Kane was also in the film.

Reception
The film was critically acclaimed. It won the Audience Award at Sundance and the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival (tied with Spirited Away), in addition to the Hitchcock d'Or best film prize at the Dinard Festival of British Cinema.
Bloody Sunday appeared a week before Jimmy McGovern's TV film on the same subject, entitled Sunday (shown by Channel 4). McGovern subsequently criticised Greengrass's film for concentrating on the leadership of the march, and not the perspective of those who joined it.
It holds a 92% approval rating on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes, based on 102 collected reviews, with an average score of 7.9/10. The site's consensus reads: "Bloody Sunday powerfully recreates the events of that day with startling immediacy." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 90 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".

Dawson Island () is an island in the Strait of Magellan that forms part of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, 100 km south of the city of Punta Arenas in Chile, and part of the Municipality of Punta Arenas. It is located southeast of Brunswick Peninsula. It is often lashed with harsh Antarctic weather. The settlements are Puerto Harris, Puerto San Antonio and Puerto Almeida.
History
This area was inhabited for thousands of years by the indigenous peoples. At the time of European encounter, the Kawésqar lived on the island (they were called the Alcalufe by the Yahgan and the Europeans adopted that term). They lived west of the Yahgan and throughout the islands west of Tierra del Fuego.
Beginning in the late 19th century, Europeans began to settle in the region, developing large sheep ranches on the main island. Miners also flocked to the area in search of gold. Chile used Dawson Island for an internment camp for the Selknam and other native people, to get them out of areas that settlers were trying to develop. Major sheep ranchers hired armed men to hunt down the indigenous people for bounty in the Selk'nam genocide, as they persisted on hunting in their former territory and considered sheep as game.
In 1890, the Chilean government granted Salesian missionaries from Italy a 20-year concession to Dawson Island to educate, care for, and try to assimilate indigenous peoples into European-Chilean culture. One of the structures from the Salesian operation remains. It has been designated a Chilean national monument.
After the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet used the island to house political prisoners suspected of being communist activists, including government ministers and close friends of the deposed President Salvador Allende, most notably Orlando Letelier, Luis Corvalán, Clodomiro Almeyda and José Tohá. They were under the strict control of the Chilean Navy as each individual case was investigated. In addition, according to an International Red Cross report in 1974 and the Report of the Chilean National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation (Rettig Report) some 99 political detainees were held here who were sentenced to forced labor. Others have estimated that as many as 400 prisoners were held at the two camps. Members of the International Red Cross, BBC, and Brazilian press corps were permitted to visit the camps. In 1974 the military said they had transferred elsewhere or released detainees from both camps.
In September 2009 director Miguel Littín released a film called Dawson Isla 10. It was based on a memoir of the same name written by Sergio Bitar, a former political prisoner during the Augusto Pinochet regime.

Codelfa Construction Pty Ltd v State Rail Authority of New South Wales, ("Codelfa") is a widely cited Australian contract law case, which serves as authority for the modern approach to contractual construction. The case greatly influenced the development of the Eastern Suburbs railway line. In terms of contract law, the case addresses questions of frustration, construction and the parol evidence rule. The case diverged from the well established English approach regarding the use of extrinsic evidence in contractual interpretation.
Background
The State Rail Authority engaged Codelfa Construction under a contract for services to excavate tunnels in the Eastern Suburbs allowing for the development of the Eastern Suburbs railway line. The works were to include "the excavation of two single track tunnels commencing at Edgecliff and running through Woollahra to Bondi Junction, an open cut excavation at the site of the Woollahra station, and an underground excavation at the site of the Bondi Junction station." The State Rail Authority issued Codelfa Construction with a notice to proceed on 7 March 1972. From this date, Codelfa was bound to complete all works within 130 weeks. On the basis of legal advice the contracting parties were led to believe that the work would be exempt from injunction as it was authorised by s 11 of the City and Suburban Electric Railways (Amendment) Act 1967 (NSW), supposedly providing crown immunity. In 1972 Codelfa Construction commenced the work in three shifts each day for seven days a week. However, the noise generated by their underground drilling led several local residents and Council to apply for an injunction. On 28 June 1972, the Supreme Court of New South Wales granted an injunction, significantly restricting the work that could be performed after 10 pm and on Sunday. Codelfa Construction incurred additional costs to complete the required work within the agreed-upon timeframe.
Procedural history
Pursuant to an arbitration clause, within the contract, the parties started arbitration proceedings in 1976 to establish whether Codelfa Construction could recover the additional costs by reason of an implied term or alternatively if the contract was frustrated to recover the reasonable value of the services provided (quantum meruit). As the arbitration proceedings had no jurisdiction with regard to frustration of the contract, they dealt principally with the issue of an implied term in the contract. The arbitrator found that a term could be implied into the contract to the effect that the deadline could be extended if workable hours varied. Both parties issued summons in the Supreme Court of NSW to reach a determination on a number of questions raised in the proceedings. Codelfa Construction alleged that the contract had been frustrated and further alleged that an implied provision of the contract, to pay a reasonable sum for work performed, had not been met. The State Rail Authority's allegations were to the effect that Codelfa Construction was bound to complete the works. Following the arbitrator's decision, a case was commenced in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. In his judgment Justice Ash found that the contract had not been frustrated, instead he extended the implied term found by the arbitrator to also account for the understanding that work's could not continue where an injunction was granted. On appeal, Justices Reynolds, Glass and Samuels of the Court of Appeal varied Justice Ash's implied term but reached the same conclusion that an implied term could be found in the contract but that the contract was not frustrated.
Codelfa Construction then appealed to the High Court challenging the finding regarding the action in frustration. The State Rail Authority cross-appealed on a number of grounds centrally challenging the court's assertion that a term could be implied into the contract.
The High Court decision
Construction
According to the parol evidence rule, it can be said that where a contract is wholly in writing "verbal evidence is not allowed to be given of what passed between the parties, either before the written document was made, or during the time that it was in a state of preparation, so as to add to or subtract from, or in any manner to vary or qualify the written contract." In order to ascertain whether the contract is wholly or partly in writing the court will consider the oral statements which parties claim forms part of the final contract. On this point the law is uniform in Australia and the United Kingdom.
The rationale behind contractual construction, as explained by J.W. Carter, is not to infer the subjective intentions of the parties or give meaning to a term of a contract consistent with those subjective understandings. Instead, the goal is to give meaning to the contract that is consistent with what a reasonable person in the position of the contracting party would have understood the term to mean.
In implementing this principle, British and Australian courts have diverged in their allowance of extrinsic evidence which is said to form part of the "surrounding circumstances" of a contract when determining the meaning and effect of contractual terms. In English law courts may consider the "matrix of fact" surrounding the formation of the contract. The "matrix of fact" extends to the words and conduct of the contractual parties, common industry knowledge and any other factor which may have affected the reasonable person's understanding of the language of the contract. The Court will interpret the meaning of the contract in light of these circumstances.
In Australian law however the High Court deviated from the English rule of contractual construction and instead held that Australian courts should follow the 'true rule' of contractual construction.
The 'true rule'
Justice Mason held that:
Under this rule extrinsic evidence of the surrounding circumstances and commercial objectives of a contract may only be referred to where the Court has established that a term of a contract is ambiguous. However, Justice Mason did not define the kind of ambiguity required to meet the requirements of the 'true rule'.
Implied term
The court considered whether a term could be implied into the contract allowing for a reasonable extension of time to complete the works given the delays caused by the injunction. The High Court rejected that a term could be implied, holding that it was impossible to formulate a term with appropriate clarity and precision. Further, even if it could be established that such a term would be necessary to give business efficacy it could not be held "so obvious that it went without saying" that the contracting parties intended for such a term to form part of their contractual relationship.
Frustration
However, Codelfa Construction succeeded on the second ground of appeal, with the majority finding that the contract was frustrated. In coming to this determination, the court followed the definition of frustration laid out in Davis Contractors Ltd v Fareham Urban District Council. That is that "frustration occurs whenever the law recognises that without default of either party a contractual obligation has become incapable of being performed because the circumstances in which performance called for would render it a thing radically different from that which was undertaken by the contract". Therefore, the critical issue which the court had to determine was whether the situation resulting from the grant of an injunction rendered the situation "radically different" from that which was contemplated at the time of contractual formation. On this point, Justice Aickin said:
Consequences
A number of decisions made by the High Court following Codelfa contradicted the 'true rule' including Maggbury Pty Ltd v Hafele Australia Pty Ltd, Pacific Carriers Ltd v BNP Paribas, and Toll (FGCT) Pty Ltd v Alphapharm Pty Ltd. Following this apparent shift in judicial opinion, numerous intermediate appellate courts and lower courts followed the principles established by Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society. The 'true rule' was understood by many courts to have lapsed in favour of the English approach to contractual construction.
However, in other High Court cases the 'true rule' was affirmed as the correct approach to contractual construction. In Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust v South Sydney City Council, the court indicated that the decision remained good law in Australia. In that case, the High Court noted that ambiguity must first be established before referring to extrinsic evidence. The court held that the use of the term "may" introduced ambiguity into the contract, and could refer to an exhaustive or inexhaustive number of considerations. This has attracted criticism from many academics, who have found that the term "may" was not open to ambiguity. Further, they argue that this demonstrates the difficulty of applying the "true rule" and determining which contextual factors are truly extrinsic to the language of the contract.
Furthermore, an application for special leave for a case to be heard in the High Court in Western Export Services Inc v Jireh International Pty Ltd, the bench stated that Codelfa remained good law in Australia. Justices Gummow, Bell and Heydon noted that primary judges and intermediate appellate courts are ‘bound to follow that precedent' until the High Court holds otherwise.
As an application for special leave is a procedural motion rather than a substantive hearing the statements of the bench did not establish a binding precedent. However, this application for special leave is notable for being published in the Australian Law Reports and representing the unambiguous judicial opinion of three justices of the High Court. Yet in Mount Bruce Mining Pty Ltd v Wright Prospecting Pty Ltd, Chief Justice French, as well as Justices Nettle and Gordon made clear that lower courts had been incorrect in identifying Western Export Services Inc v Jireh International Pty Ltd, as an authoritative statement on the correct approach to contractual construction, as a procedural motion in itself is not binding in Australian law.
Decisions such as Electricity Generation Corporation v Woodside Energy Ltd, and Mount Bruce Mining Pty Ltd v Wright Prospecting Pty Ltd, have involved the High Court applying the approach set out in Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society, despite affirming the 'true rule' in Western Export Services Inc v Jireh International Pty Ltd. This suggests that Codelfa may no longer be good law in Australia. The New South Wales Supreme Court has taken the view that Codelfa no longer represents the view of the court and as such has moved towards accepting the English approach laid out in Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society.
As the authority of the Codelfa decision remains an unsettled point in Australian law many issues have arisen in contractual construction at lower level courts. One common practice used to circumvent this issue has been the use of recitals at the start of the contract, per Adventure Golf Systems Australia Pty Ltd v Belgravia Health & Leisure Group Pty Ltd. This allows the contract to be read in light of circumstances that both parties agreed at the time of formation were relevant to the interpretation of terms. Legal scholars have noted that this is a significant area of law, in which a binding decision in favour of Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society, or in favour of Justice Mason's 'true rule' would have significant implications for contractual disputes.
Lower courts
At present contractual construction in Australian law is not consistent and uniform between different states and territories, with lower courts and intermediate appellate courts adopting different positions in relation to Codelfa. The Supreme Court of NSW in Mainteck Services Pty Ltd v Stein Heurtey SA, supported the conclusion that Investors Compensation Scheme Ltd v West Bromwich Building Society, had been accepted in Australian law, therefore, ambiguity did not have to be pointed to before referring to 'surrounding circumstances'. This position was supported by the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia in Stratton Finance Pty Ltd v Webb. However, the Western Australian Supreme Court has stated that Codelfa remains good law in Australia in Technomin Australia Pty Ltd v Xstrata Nickel Australia Operations''.

The Junior Dragster or Jr Dragster is a scaled-down version of the top fuel dragster. The cars were developed in New Zealand in 1988, with classes developed by the New Zealand Hot Rod Association. The National Hot Rod Association in the USA began sanctioning the class in 1991, with the JDRL (Junior Drag Racing League). The JDRL is a division of the NHRA, which consists of two different dragster classes, traditional Jr. Dragster having a wheelbase between 90 and 150 inches and a single-cylinder, five brake horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine, and the larger Jr. Comp dragster being 150-190 inches in wheelbase and using a motorcycle or personal watercraft engine. Junior drag racers may choose to participate in programs run by the NHRA, IHRA and the Australian National Drag Racing Association [ANDRA], or at an unsanctioned facility. Drivers may be male or female and must be at least five years of age to test, and six years to compete, and be no older than 20 years on December 31 of the competition year (a driver who turns 18 on January 2 is permitted to race in the class until December 31 of the year in question).
The track is 1/8 of a mile, and depending on class, is contested as a bracket race or a heads-up start on a 5-tenths sportsman tree. Racers' E.T (elapsed time) is determined by age. Drivers age 5 can only test in single-car passes, and can go no faster than 20.00 seconds. Drivers age 6-7 can go no faster than 13.90 (and must start heads-up), and can officially compete in full competition. Drivers age 5-7 must use a crate engine from Briggs & Stratton with a slide valve to reduce power. Drivers age 8-9 can go no faster than 11.90, 10- to 12-year-olds are limited to 8.90, and 13- to 17-year-olds can go up to 7.90 at 85 MPH. Drivers 14-20 can race in Jr. Comp, where racers are limited to 6.900 at 109.99 MPH. Drivers who are 9 as of January 1 can participate in either the 8-9 or 10-12 category once they turn 10 during the year, and drivers who are 12 as of January 1 can participate in the 10-12 or 13-17 category once they turn 13 during the year. Drivers who turn 14 may run in Jr. Comp. A driver who turns 18 during the year may stay in Jr. Dragster before jumping to either the adult classes or Jr. Comp.
Jr. Dragsters also compete in a different racing class called 'Outlaw'. This class is run to the 330 ft. cone of the racing surface. The class runs heads-up on a 4-tenths pro tree. Usually this class is a qualified field, so the teams have to give it all they can just to make the field. While different series rules vary, the main principle is the same. The different series restrict engine combinations and weight packages so that the cars do not exceed the 4.10 time NHRA says is the fastest junior dragsters can run to the 330 ft. legally.
Racers compete almost every weekend, running in points series at their home tracks, or in various specialty events with big prizes. During the course of the year, racers could also attend various division events, or Nationals. In the NHRA, racers choose between attending the Eastern and the Western Conference Finals. In the UK there are over thirty racers and still growing. Though bracket racing is still the main factor of Jr. Drag racing, varieties of heads up racing are also a growing part of this sport. The next step up for Jr. Dragster is Jr. Comp, and then moving into full size car categories, with either Competition Eliminator or Super Street (10.90 or 6.90 in the 1/8 mile) being recommended, although some may start in Super Gas (9.90 or 6.30 in the 1/8 mile).

Searlesite is a sodium borosilicate mineral, with the chemical formula NaBSi2O5(OH)2. It was discovered in 1914 at Searles Lake, California, and was named to honor John W. Searles (16 November 1828 - 7 October 1897), California pioneer, who drilled the well that yielded the first known Searlesite.
Searlesite is usually found disseminated in fine-grained lacustrine strata and often associated with altering volcanic ash. It may be a minor component of borate deposits, but it is rarely found concentrated or in megascopic crystals and so has not been developed as an ore mineral of boron. It occurs interbedded with oil shales or marls (Green River Formation, US) and in boron-bearing evaporite deposits (California, US); rarely in vugs in phonolite (Point of Rocks, New Mexico).

Caroline Hampton Halsted (20 November 1861 – 27 November 1922) was a nurse who became the first to use medical gloves in the operating room.
Biography
Caroline Hampton was a member of a prominent southern family; her uncle, Wade Hampton III, was a Confederate General, governor of South Carolina, and a US senator. Her mother, Sally (Baxter) Hampton died in 1862 of tuberculosis. Her father, Colonel Frank Hampton, died at the Battle of Brandy Station in early 1863 during the American Civil War. Their family home Millwood was burned, and Hampton was raised by three aunts, with the expectation that she would marry well, ideally to a southern plantation owner.
Against her family's wishes, she went to nursing school in New York. She trained first at Mount Sinai Hospital and then at New York Hospital, graduating in 1888. In 1889 she became chief surgical nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, working for William Stewart Halsted.
Rubber gloves
The impetus for Hampton's use of gloves was her sensitive skin. Previously she had to wear gloves when gardening, and the procedures at the hospital caused her to develop severe contact dermatitis and painful eczema. Halsted, as a supporter of the germ theory of disease, used strict hygienic measures in his operating theater. People had to cleanse their hands using soap, followed by a caustic solution of potassium permanganate, a hot oxalic acid bath, and a mercury chloride compound. In the winter of 1889 Caroline Hampton informed Halsted of her intention to resign due to the effects on her hands.
Halsted considered Hampton an “unusually efficient” operating room assistant. He suggested that she try coating her hands in a gelatinous substance called collodion. It hardened but tended to crack. Next Halsted sent plaster casts of Caroline's hands to the Goodyear Rubber Company of New York, and ordered two pairs of bespoke rubber gloves to cover her hands and forearms. The resulting gloves were thin, flexible, and reusable, and protected Hampton's hands.
Halsted was surprised to return from an extended vacation and find that others in the operating room had also adopted rubber gloves, following Caroline's example. The gloves protected the medical staff's hands, and surgical assistants reported that the textured surface of the gloves made it easier to hold onto slippery surgical instruments. That they also protected patients was discovered by one of Halsted's surgical residents, Joseph Colt Bloodgood. In 1899, Bloodgood published results showing that use of gloves during surgery reduced postsurgical infection rates from 17% to less than 2%, a staggering effect.
Marriage
Caroline Hampton and William Halsted were married on June 4, 1890, at Trinity Episcopal Church, Columbia, South Carolina. Caroline, as a married woman, was required to resign from her job at the hospital. Caroline ran their household during the winter, and their farm High Hampton in North Carolina during the summer.
Caroline suffered later in life from migraines, and it is suspected that she, as well as her husband, may have used morphine.
Both were known for their eccentricity. Anecdotes about their modes of entertaining, attachment to pets and marital life amused local society.

Tuvaijuittuq Marine Protected Area is a marine protected area located off the northwest coast of Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada. The goal of the marine protected area is to protect the rich biodiversity and dynamism of the High Arctic sea ice ecosystem. Covering an area of , Tuvaijuittuq is the largest protected area in Canada and among the largest protected areas in the world. It is part of a large oceanic region referred to as the Last Ice Area, located adjacent to the coasts of northern Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, which contain and accumulate the oldest remaining sea ice in the Arctic.
History
Tuvaijuittuq was established by ministerial order under the Oceans Act for interim protection on 21 August 2019. Under the order, no new or additional human activities will be allowed to occur in the area for up to five years while the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, the Government of Nunavut, and the Government of Canada work to establish long-term protection of the area. Exceptions to this rule include respecting Inuit rights to harvest wildlife under the Nunavut Agreement, scientific research, activities relating to national security and emergencies, and the safe passage of foreign ships through the region.
Geography
The northwest coast of Ellesmere Island is dominated by thick, multi-year pack ice which accumulates due to the combination of ice transport, from the circulation of the Beaufort Gyre and ice motion from the Transpolar Drift, combined with the land masses acting as natural physical barriers.
Ecology
Sea ice provides habitat for ice-adapted organisms within the neritic and pelagic zones of the area, most notably ice algae. In addition, seabed communities in this area exhibits higher that expected levels of biodiversity and biological productivity.

Vilmorin is a French seed producer. The company has a long history in France, where it was family-controlled for almost two centuries, and today exists as a publicly traded company owned principally by agro-industrial cooperative Groupe Limagrain, the largest plant breeding and seed company in the European Union.
History
Vilmorin was founded as a plant and seed boutique in 1743 by seed expert Claude Geoffroy and her husband Pierre Andrieux, the chief seed supplier and botanist to King Louis XV. The store was located on the quai de la Mégisserie, a street in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. In 1774, their daughter married botany enthusiast Philippe-Victoire Levêque de Vilmorin (1746-1804). Together, they revived the stores and created the Vilmorin-Andrieux House, which later became Vilmorin-Andrieux and Company under the leadership of their son, Philippe André de Vilmorin (1776-1862). Philippe-Victoire de Vilmorin began importing trees and exotic plants into Europe in 1766, starting with the American tulip tree, the domesticated beet, and the rutabaga. Such plants were unknown in Europe prior to Vilmorin-Andrieux's commercial promotion of them for food, fodder and ornamentation.
The Vilmorin estate in the Paris suburb of Verrières-le-Buisson, a former hunting lodge of Louis XIV of France, became known for its gardens and arboretum, and the Vilmorin company was headquartered in Verrières-le-Buisson, where it was led by a succession of Vilmorin heirs, including Louis de Vilmorin (1816-1860), Elisa Bailly de Vilmorin (1826-1868), Henry de Vilmorin (1843-1899), Maurice de Vilmorin (1849-1918), Philippe de Vilmorin (1872-1917), Jacques de Vilmorin (1882-1933), Louis de Vilmorin (1883-1944), Louise de Vilmorin (1902-1969), Olivier de Vilmorin (1904-1962), Roger de Vilmorin (1905-1980), and André de Vilmorin (1907-1987).
The company produced the first seed catalog for farmers and academics. In 1856, Louis de Vilmorin published "Note on the Creation of a New Race of Beetroot and Considerations on Heredity in Plants", establishing the theoretical groundwork for the modern seed-breeding industry. The company's leaders continued to publish numerous botanical academic articles throughout the company's early history.
In 1972 the company was acquired by René Hodée, a farmer from the Anjou region who relocated the company to La Ménitré, a town to the southwest of Paris. Three years later, in 1975, he sold the company to Groupe Limagrain, which changed the name from Vilmorin-Andrieux to Vilmorin SA in 1986, and in 1989 created the Oxadis division to specialize in Vilmorin's home vegetable garden activities, including vegetable seeds, flowers and trees, plant health products, and various pet and garden supplies for the amateur market. Following this restructuring, Vilmorin focused on vegetable seeds and trees for professionals (growers, seed producers, and nurseries).

The contestants must avoid the paint as much as possible and are scored in percentiles, based on how little paint ends up on their all-white clothing (for instance, 30 points are scored if an after-game scan confirms the contestant was 30% 'spotless', or 70% covered with paint upon their clothes).
Episodes
Production
The program is produced by ITV Entertainment and Hard Nocks South Productions and based on a UK format from ITV Studios-owned entertainment label Possessed and created by Simon Crossley titled Spotless. The program also takes inspiration from Nickelodeon classics, including Double Dare and You Can't Do That on Television.

The National Day of Catalonia ( , ) is a day-long festival in Catalonia and one of its official national symbols, celebrated annually on 11 September. It commemorates the fall of Barcelona during the War of the Spanish Succession in 1714 and the subsequent loss of Catalan institutions and laws.
History
After the evacuation of the pro-Habsburg armies from Spain at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, as a result of the Peace of Utrecht (1713) in which the Bourbon pretender Philip V was recognized king of the Iberian dominions of the Spanish Monarchy, the Principality of Catalonia unilaterally decided to remain in the war by decision of its Junta de Braços (Catalan assembly of Estates) on 9 July 1713, in order to protect the Catalan constitutions and lives from the expected repression. After months of intense fighting, the Army of Catalonia raised for that purpose, as well the Coronela (urban militia) of Barcelona were finally defeated at the Siege of Barcelona by the combined Spanish and French armies on 11 September 1714 after 14 months of siege, in which the Head Councillor (mayor) of Barcelona, Rafael Casanova, was severely wounded during the defence of the wall. The subsequent promulgation of the Nueva Planta decrees (1716) abolished most of the Catalan constitutions and institutions (among them the Catalan Courts, the Generalitat, and the Consell de Cent), meaning the end of the Principality of Catalonia as a separate political entity, becoming a province of a centralized Kingdom of Spain reorganized as a French-inspired absolute monarchy.
The holiday was first celebrated on 11 September 1886. In 1888, coinciding with the inauguration of the Barcelona Universal Exposition, a statue in honor of Rafael Casanova was set up, which would become the point of reference of the events of the Diada. The celebration gained popularity over the following years; the Diada of 1923 was a great mass event, with more than a thousand floral offerings, acts throughout Catalonia and a certain institutional participation. But the demonstrations caused 17 wounded, five policemen and 12 protesters, and several arrests. The dictatorship of Primo de Rivera banned the celebration. During the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939), the Generalitat de Catalunya (the autonomous government of Catalonia established in 1931) institutionalized the celebration. The National Days that took place during the Spanish Civil War (1936, 1937 and 1938) had a marked anti-fascist character and the anarchist trade union CNT took part of the celebrations.
It was suppressed by the Francoist dictatorship in 1939, and relegated to the family and private sphere, but continued to be celebrated clandestinely. The monument of Rafael Casanova was removed. Since 1940 the National Front of Catalonia took advantage of the day to carry out some propaganda actions: distribution of anti-fascist leaflets, clandestine hanging of Catalan flags, etc. It was celebrated again publicly for the first time on 11 September 1976, one year after the death of Francisco Franco, being followed the next year by a huge demonstration in Barcelona demanding the restitution of Catalan self-government, in which the Casanova's statue was repositioned in its place, and the celebration was reinstated officially in 1980 by the Generalitat de Catalunya, upon its reestablishment after the Spanish transition to democracy, being the first law approved by the also restored Parliament of Catalonia.
Celebrations
Nationalist organizations, political parties and institutions traditionally lay floral offerings at monuments of those who led the defence of the city such as Rafael Casanova and General Moragues, marking their stand against the king Philip V of Spain. Typically, Catalan independentists organize demonstrations and meet at the Fossar de les Moreres in Barcelona, where they pay homage to the defenders of city who died during the siege and were buried there. Throughout the day, there are patriotic demonstrations and cultural events in many Catalan villages and many citizens wave senyeres and estelades. The event has become more explicitly political and particularly focused on independence rallies in the 2010s.

Milton W. Humphreys (September 15, 1844 – November 20, 1928) was an American Confederate sergeant during the American Civil War of 1861-1865 and an early scholar of Ancient Greek and Latin in the United States. He was the first professor to introduce the Roman pronunciation of Latin in the United States while teaching at Washington and Lee University. Additionally, he was the first Professor of Latin and Greek at Vanderbilt University and the University of Texas at Austin. He spent the rest of his career at the University of Virginia. He also served as the President of the American Philological Association in 1882–1883.
Biography
Early life
Milton Wylie Humphreys was born on September 15, 1844, in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, when it was still part of Virginia. His father was Andrew Cavet Humphreys and his mother, Mary McQuain (Hefner) Humphreys. He was raised as a Presbyterian. He was educated at the Mercer Academy in Charleston, West Virginia. He then attended Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia (then known as Washington College), but he dropped out to join the war efforts. Shortly after the war, he taught school. He returned to Washington and Lee, and finally received a master's degree in 1869. He then received a PhD from the University of Leipzig in Leipzig, Germany.
Civil War
During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he served as a sergeant in the Thirteenth Virginia Light Artillery and Bryan's Battery of the Confederate States Army. Most of his combat operations took place in West Virginia. On May 19, 1862, in Fayetteville, West Virginia, he set a precedent for modern warfare by firing an indirect cannon missile. He was paroled on June 12, 1865, in Charleston, West Virginia. He later became an expert on gunnery and ballistics.
Career
After the war, he returned to Washington and Lee to teach Greek and Latin. Specifically, he served as associate professor of Latin and Greek from 1867 to 1870, and as adjunct professor of Ancient Languages under General Robert E. Lee (1807–1870) from 1870 to 1875. He insisted upon the Roman pronunciation of Latin, making Washington and Lee the first American university where this was the case.
He was then asked by Chancellor Landon Garland (1810-1895) to become the first professor of Greek at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, a newly formed university, which he accepted. He was officially on the faculty role in 1875. He designed the curriculum, as well as the requirements for admission and graduation. Before he left Vanderbilt, he received the first honorary degree ever given by the university.
From 1883 to 1887, he served as the first professor of Greek and Latin at the University of Texas at Austin in Austin. However, his research during his time in Austin was very much hampered by a lack of books available, as the university had just been established. According to Edwin Mims (1872-1959), who served as chairman of the English Department at Vanderbilt University from 1912 to 1942, Humphreys was sickened to find out that Tadeusz Stefan Zieliński (1859-1944) has already published a volume on research he had been doing for years. As a result, he had no choice but to review Zielinski's book for the American Journal of Philology.
In 1887, he went to teach at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he spent the rest of his career. He retired on September 12, 1915.
He was the editor of the Revue des Revues from 1878 to 1888 and translated several Greek texts. He served as a commissioner to Weltausstellung 1873 Wien, a world fair in Vienna, Austria, in 1873. In 1882, he served as president of the American Philological Association. In 1926, he published his Civil War memoirs.
Personal life and death
On May 3, 1877, he married Louise Frances Garland, the daughter of Landon Garland (1810-1895), the chancellor of Vanderbilt University, who had recruited him. They had four children.
He died on November 20, 1928, in Charlottesville, Virginia. He was buried in the University of Virginia Cemetery.

Francisco Bertrand Barahona (9 October 1866 – 15 July 1926) was a Honduran politician. He was a two-term President of Honduras, first from 28 March 1911 to 1 February 1912, and then again between 21 March 1913 and 9 September 1919. His successor and predecessor was Manuel Bonilla, and Bertrand served as the Vice President in Bonilla's cabinet. He was a member of the National Party.
Bertrand started out with a reputation as a conciliator, but during his last presidency was involved in armed conflict with his political opponents. It is believed that United States of America pressure was behind his abandoning the post of President. He spent the next few years in exile before returning to La Ceiba, Honduras. He died on 15 July 1926.
He was married to Victoria Alvarado Burchard who had five children named Laura Azucena Bertrand, Francisco Bertrand, Marta Bertrand Alvarado, Luz Marina Bertrand Alvarado and Victoria Bertrand Alvarado.

Agnus Dei (Latin for Lamb of God) is an oil painting completed between 1635 and 1640 by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán. It is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain.
The Lamb of God is an allusion to Christ's title as recorded in John's Gospel (John 1: 29) when John the Baptist describes Jesus as "The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the World".
The painting appears in Sarah Phelps' BBC Agatha Christie "quintet", And Then There Were None, The Witness for The Prosecution, Ordeal by Innocence, The ABC Murders, and The Pale Horse. Its repeated use is to symbolise the trussed nature of the guilty character who has put himself on the path to perdition.
Frame versions
Agnus Dei GMG Foundation Switzerland
Dated and signed in 1631. It is the first of Zurbarán's dated works on this subject. With dimensions of 84 × 116 cm (centimeters). This oil is perhaps one of the least studied. Nothing seems to be known of its origin. In the reasoned catalog it is identified with the number 39.
Agnus Dei Plandiura
Dated and signed in 1632, the Agnus Dei Plandiura, also known as the Ram with its legs tied, is an oil painting of 60 × 83 cm (centimeters), and one of the best versions, is currently in Barcelona in the Salvadó Plandiura collection. This work became known thanks to its restoration and exhibition as a "guest work" at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum in 2004. It is registered in the catalog under number 55.
Agnus Dei del Prado
Without date or signature, the date has been estimated between 1635 and 1640 in Zurbarán's artistic peak. It is the most successful version of the existing ones and has been exhibited in the permanent collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid since its acquisition in 1986. It is known that it belonged to Ferdinand VII due to a wax seal that is preserved on the back of it. The virtuosity of its brushstrokes, the quality and simplicity of the corkscrew curls, make it one of the most elegant and substantive works of the Spanish Baroque. It is painted in oil on canvas and measures 38 cm (centimeters) high by 62 cm wide. In the catalog it corresponds to the number 105.
Agnus Dei Private Collection Madrid
With dimensions of 37 × 58 cm (centimeters), and dated approximately between 1635-1640, also without signature. This small oil painting, unlike others, made from life, is a very similar repetition, even in its dimensions, to that of the Prado Museum. The historian Matías Díaz Padrón recognized this work in 1981, which is in a Private Collection in Madrid, without us knowing more about its origin. In the Catalog raisonné it was assigned the number 105 bis.
Likewise, it is estimated that it was painted between 1635 and 1640, lacking a date or signature, the latter does not cause any doubt today about the quality of the piece and its authorship for experts, thanks to the restoration carried out in 2005. and that revealed the true qualities of the work that until then it was impossible to corroborate due to very abrasive cleaning that it suffered in the past, in addition to the notorious presence of oxidized varnishes. We are facing the fifth version of the "Ram with its legs tied", which was sold by the Ansorena auction house in 1996. It is numbered 106 in the Catalog Raisonné.
Agnus Dei of San Diego
It lacks a date or signature, dated approximately from 1635 to 1640. Interesting is the version found in The San Diego Museum or Art, of smaller dimensions, this one is 35.56 × 52.07 cm (centimeters), it was bequeathed to the museum by Anne R. and Amy Putnam. It is one of the two versions in which the double character of still life and religious painting is not a perception, the nimbus on the ram's head and the inscription "TANQUAM AGNUS" ('like a lamb') clearly allude to the mystical Lamb. In the catalog it has been awarded the number 107.

The Poppy Factory is a factory in Richmond, London, England, where remembrance wreaths are made. It was founded in 1922 to offer employment opportunities to wounded soldiers returning from the First World War, creating remembrance poppies and wreaths for the Royal Family and the Royal British Legion's annual Poppy Appeal. It is operated by a company that is a registered charity which provides employment support to veterans with health conditions across England and Wales. The factory's production team continues to make remembrance wreaths by hand today.
The corresponding organisation in Scotland is Lady Haig's Poppy Factory in Edinburgh, which was established in 1926 and makes approximately five million remembrance poppies each year.
The Poppy Factory in England
Artificial poppies for the first poppy appeal in 1921 were imported from France by Madame Anna Guérin.
In 1922 the Disabled Society, a charity established in 1920 by Major George Howson MC and Major Jack Cohen, received a grant of £2,000 from the British Legion's Unity Relief Fund to employ disabled ex-service personnel to make remembrance poppies in England. Later that year, Howson wrote to his parents, "I do not think it can be a great success, but it is worth trying. I consider the attempt ought to be made if only to give the disabled their chance."
They set up in a former collar factory on the Old Kent Road in London. Soon the factory was employing 50 disabled veterans.
In November 1924, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) visited the Poppy Factory, which made 27 million poppies that year. Most of the employees were disabled, and by then there was a long waiting list for prospective employees.
The old collar factory eventually proved too small as demand increased, and in 1926 the factory moved to a disused brewery in Petersham Road, Richmond, Surrey. The Poppy Factory organised the first annual Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey in 1928. The current Art Deco Poppy Factory building was built on the brewery site and was completed in 1933.
In November 2016, former chief executive Melanie Waters became the chief executive of Help for Heroes charity. Deirdre Mills was later appointed the new chief executive; she had previously been a Director at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
In July 2017, Queen Elizabeth II visited the factory to celebrate the charity’s 90th anniversary.
Lady Haig's Poppy Factory in Scotland
Lady Haig's Poppy Factory was founded in Edinburgh in March 1926, shortly after the Royal British Legion's factory in London, as independent charity to provide employment to disabled veterans. Lady Haig's Poppy Factory became a trading name of Poppyscotland of which it is a subsidiary.
The factory was created at the suggestion of and by Dorothy, Countess Haig, wife of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, who had created the Haig Fund to assist ex-servicemen and which still raises funds through the UK's annual poppy appeal.
It was established in a former wood-chopping factory in the grounds of Whitefoord House. The factory moved to its current premises, a former printing works in Warriston Road, in 1965.
In November 2018 the factory was moved for two years into Redford Barracks while major renovations could be made while also adding a new learning facility.
Like the Poppy Factory in Richmond, it employs ex-service personnel, all of them disabled. It makes five million remembrance poppies in Edinburgh each year, to a slightly different design with four-lobed petals rather than two for English poppies, and 12,000 wreaths.

Wilhelm Eduard Baltzer (24 October 1814 – 24 June 1887) was the founder of the first German vegetarian society, the German Natural Living Society (), a supporter of the Revolution of 1848 in Germany and an early popularizer of science.
Biography
Born in the village of Hohenleina in the Prussian Province of Saxony, Baltzer was the son of an Evangelical clergyman. He was educated at the Universities of Leipzig and Halle where he chiefly studied theology. He became a tutor, and was chaplain of the hospital of Delitzsch from 1841 until the beginning of 1847, when he founded at Nordhausen a free religious community (), after having failed to have his nomination to various dioceses confirmed by the authorities.
In 1848 Baltzer was elected to the Frankfurt preliminary parliament (), and afterward to the Prussian National Assembly. In 1868 he founded a society and a journal for the promotion of vegetarianism. He continued to be a representative leader until 1881. He lived in retirement at Grotzingen for the last few years of his life, partly occupied in the promotion of vegetarianism.

Wang Chunyu (; born 17 January 1995) is a Chinese track and field athlete who specialises in the 800 metres. She has a personal best of 1:57.00 minutes. She was the gold medallist at the Asian Athletics Championships in 2013 and the runner-up at the 2011 World Youth Championships.
Born in Suzhou in China's Anhui province, Wang had her first successes at provincial level winning a series of events in 2010. She began entering national competitions in 2011 at the age of sixteen and became the youngest ever winner on the national indoor circuit with a victory in Nanjing in February.
She entered the 800 m at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics and improved through the rounds, reducing her best from 2:07.13 to 2:03.23 by the end of the competition. In the final she nipped Jessica Judd at the line to take the silver medal behind the favourite Ajeé Wilson. The sixteen-year-old Wang set a personal best of 2:01.34 minutes to win at the China City Games junior competition – this was the fastest run by a Chinese athlete in over five years and the best by a Chinese youth since Ma Junren-trained Lin Na ran at the 1997 Chinese Games.
Chunyu competed exclusively on the national circuit in 2012 and her best run of the season came at the Chinese Athletics Championships, where she was just two hundredths of a second behind Zhao Jing, with a time of 2:01.48 minutes. At the start of the 2013 outdoor season she placed sixth in the 800 m at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Shanghai then went on to win her first major title in the form of the 800 m gold medal at the 2013 Asian Athletics Championships. She beat Bahrain's Ethiopian-born Genzeb Shumi by a margin of almost two seconds.
On 31 July 2021, she qualified for the final of women's 800 metres at 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo with her personal best of 1:59.14, thus becoming the first Chinese athlete to ever have reached the Olympic final of this competition. She finished 5th in the final with 1:57.00, her personal best.

WTSJ-LD (channel 38) is a low-power television station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, owned by Innovate Corp. The station's transmitter is located at the Milwaukee PBS tower on North Humboldt Boulevard in Milwaukee's Estabrook Park neighborhood.
History
Early license establishment
WTSJ-LD has its origins in a construction permit for a low-power television station on channel 55 in Ludington, Michigan, which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted to Richard L. Bourassa on May 31, 1995 and issued the call sign W55CG. Bourassa sold the station to MS Communications on November 16, 2000. A month later, MS filed for a license to cover the permit, which was granted on February 16, 2001; on May 24, the company obtained a construction permit to move the station to channel 53 in Milwaukee as W53CC. The channel 53 permit was subsequently replaced with one for operation on channel 38 (as W38DT) on April 14, 2004. MS Communications had plans to establish wireless cable networks, but never broadcast anything other than test patterns on its stations.
Bustos era with Azteca
Bustos Media purchased the station from MS Communications for $1,350,000 on June 9, 2006. MS had shut down the W55CG facility in Ludington on the previous day in preparation for the completion of the sale. Bustos changed the call letters to WBWT-LP on August 30, 2006, built the channel 38 facility in Milwaukee, began airing a test pattern in September 2006, and officially signed WBWT-LP on the air on December 12. The station originally served as an affiliate of Azteca América and also initially carried a video simulcast of the morning program from sister radio station WDDW (104.7 FM). It expected to add additional local programming to serve Milwaukee's Hispanic community. Time Warner Cable began carrying the station throughout its service area in October 2009 on digital cable channel 807.
Bustos filed for a construction permit with the FCC to build digital transmitter facilities on UHF channel 31 in 2010. In September of that year, Bustos transferred most of its licenses to Adelante Media Group as part of a settlement with its lenders.
Switch to MundoFox
On July 25, 2012, Adalante announced that it had signed an affiliation agreement to switch its Azteca America affiliates to upstart Spanish-language network MundoFox, which officially launched on August 13. However, WBWT-LP switched to the network two weeks earlier on August 1 during its unadvertised soft launch period. Azteca's national feed was eventually picked up by Time Warner and Charter.
Adalante sold WBWT-LP, along with KBTU-LP in Salt Lake City, to DTV America Corporation for $425,000 on July 16, 2015. On October 20, DTV America changed the station's call letters to WTSJ-LP; the calls stand for the initials of their print media partner The Spanish Journal, Milwaukee's leading Hispanic-American publication.
DTV America era; going digital, return to Azteca, and additional networks
Around the time of the sale to DTV America, the station launched their digital signal on channel 38 via a flash cut. In addition to MundoMax on 38.1, WTSJ-LP resumed their affiliation with Azteca on 38.2, with both signals transmitting in 720p. With the move of WTSJ-LP to digital operations, it was the last station in the Milwaukee market to end analog operations. Despite ending analog operations, the station continues to utilize LP calls for the time being. Slowly, DTV America began to establish their common template of having multiple subchannel networks on one signal seen in other markets.
In December 2015, Azteca was replaced with Buzzr and the feed was converted to 480p.
On May 5, 2016, the station launched a third subchannel for the Katz Broadcasting network Escape in lieu of WTMJ-TV, which agreed to carry the network through their parent company E. W. Scripps in 2015, but was unable to at the time due to a lack of space for new subchannels. In June 2016, the station added QVC's "Plus" feed on Channel 38.4, duplicating the same signal found on WIWN-DT5 in the market.
In late October 2016, WTSJ-LP again resumed carrying Azteca on their main channel, its third affiliation round with the network, as the moribund MundoMax network began to wind down operations. In addition, a fifth subchannel carrying The Country Network was added. This returned that network to Milwaukee after a year-long absence, since WCGV-TV had dropped it from their second subchannel for Comet along with the AccuWeather Channel on a seventh subchannel (using the national feed without local conditions). Eventually the sixth subchannel was filled by Tuff TV, and all three subchannels were sorted into a new mapping, with AccuWeather currently on DT5, followed by Tuff on DT6 and The Country Network on DT7.
With WTMJ ending their carriage of Cozi TV at the start of 2017, WTSJ-LP dropped Escape in the month before as WTMJ picked it up in its place. WTSJ-LP3 was left vacant with a paid programming loop until January 15, 2017, when WTSJ-LP completed the exchange and added Cozi TV. On June 22, 2017, WIWN (channel 68) also began to carry Cozi over their main signal. That station is officially listed by Nielsen as being in the Green Bay market owing to its city of license of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, but it has all of its coverage in the Milwaukee market, resulting in the unusual situation of two stations under different ownerships from the same tower carrying the same network. On July 27, 2017, Cozi TV became exclusive to WIWN, with Jewelry Television taking over WTSJ-LP3.
With HC2 Holdings' mid-2017 acquisition of DTV America and the November 2017 acquisition of Azteca, the station is now an O&O of their main network, effectively stabilizing its main channel's programming for the foreseeable future. With the repeal of the Main Studio Rule in 2019, the station's studio and office on South 108th Street in West Allis was closed, and it is now centralcased out of HC2's programming hub with no local presence.
Tuff TV suddenly terminated their national operations on August 26, 2018, and currently paid programming runs on that signal. Accuweather was replaced with the Christian Broadcasting Network's new 24-hour news channel on October 1, with WTSJ-LP a charter affiliate of the network. Christian Broadcasting Network was replaced by LX on May 22, 2019.
On October 25, 2019, WTSJ-LP went temporarily silent as an after effect of the operators and engineers of the Milwaukee PBS tower adjusting the tower's various antennas before and after the market's October 18, 2019, FCC-required frequency shifts involving the spectrum auction. WTSJ-LP also shifted to a post-repack channel of channel 26 and when it did, took an "LD" channel suffix.
Azteca America discontinued operations on December 31, 2022, with HC2 replacing it with Timeless TV, a network run by Burlington-based Canella Media. By the next month, Spanish programming had returned to the station's main channel, and it now carries the Visión Latina network.

John Cunningham (; – 9 December 1651) was a Scottish nobleman, explorer, Dano-Norwegian naval captain, and Governor of Finnmark.
Biography
In 1605, Cunningham became captain of the 60-ton Danish naval ship . Along with the 70-ton and the 20-ton , the ships were directed by the Danish King, Christian IV, to re-establish contact with the Norse settlements in Greenland, the first of three annual expeditions sent between 1605 and 1607. Cunningham served as the chief commander, following the piloting of James Hall and commanding Godske Lindenov in the Løven and John Knight in the Katten.
During the Lindenov expedition of 1606, Cunningham served as the captain of the Løven under Lindenov's command. In 1615, Cunningham was among the commanders aboard the naval expedition under Gabriel Kruse sent to Spitsbergen to demand tolls from foreign whalers. There, Cunningham encountered Robert Fotherby, Thomas Edge, and Adriaen Block. The following year, he captained the Gabriel as part of the naval expedition under Jørgen Daa sent to rid the coasts of Norway, the Faeroes, and Iceland of illegal whalers and pirates.
In 1619, Cunningham was made Governor of Finnmark in the far north, a post he retained until his death in 1651. There, he presided over 52 witch trials, nine of which afflicted the Sami population.

The Turkish Baths was a Victorian Turkish bath on Lincoln Place, Dublin.
History
The Turkish Baths on Lincoln Place, Dublin opened on 2 February 1860 having been built by Richard Barter as part of the Turkish Bath Company of Dublin Ltd. The main frontage was 186 feet long. The Bath attendants wore red dressing gowns and Turkish slippers, and served coffee and "chibouk" to the patrons. Initially very successful, the Baths served 90 bathers a day for the first 4 years of operation.
There was an adjoining restaurant which was leased out to a number of proprietors, the first of which was the Café de Paris, and while it was run by Muret & Olin it has been speculated that it was the first documented French restaurant in Dublin.
Barter left the business by 1867, and later opened a baths known as The Hammam on O'Connell Street on 17 March 1869. The Baths at Lincoln Place were subsequently refurbished in 1867, and again in 1875 in two phases. The works in 1875 saw the installation of modern showers and a plunge bath. With competition from The Hammam and new baths on St Stephen's Green, the Turkish Baths went into liquidation in 1880 and went up for sale. They were purchased by the owners of the St Stephen's Green baths, Millar and Jury, and were modernised further. After a series of events including a court case for negligence, Millar and Jury sold the baths.
The Baths are mentioned in James Joyce's Ulysses, where Leopold Bloom refers to them as "the mosque of baths". Ulysses was set in 1904, and in reality the Baths had closed in 1901.
The Baths were put up for sale in 1900, and were used for a number of commercial purposes before the building was demolished in 1970.
Architecture
Designed by Richard Barter (not a relation of the bath owner), the building was well received by the Dublin Builder magazine, which praised Irish builders for executing the unusual design so well noting in particularly the elaborate plaster decoration on the facade. On either side of central ticket office were two separate bathing areas for men and women. A very prominent feature was the 50 foot high ogee-shaped dome which sat above the company board room. At the rear of the building, there was a bathing area for animals including horses. The interior featured "oriental arches and coloured bricks" and the floors were fitted with patterned tiles from Mintons.

FC Basel began their 2009–10 season with various warm-up matches against Swiss lower league, Ukrainian Vyscha Liha, and Super League Greece clubs. The club's aim for their first team during the 2009–10 season were to win back the league championship and to win the cup title. It was also their aim qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage.
Overview
The pre-season started with several major changes, the biggest being the sacking of coach Christian Gross, who was replaced by the German Thorsten Fink. Fink was appointed as Basel's new manager on 9 June 2009. The new manager let several players go by not extending their contracts. These were Ronny Hodel, Jürgen Gjasula, Ivan Ergić and Eduardo. Star striker Eren Derdiyok was sold to Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Eduardo Rubio returned to Cruz Azul because his loan was not made permanent. A number of players were brought into the first team from the under-21 squad to replace them, including Xherdan Shaqiri, Marco Aratore and Oliver Klaus. A number of new players were signed, the highest profile being Alexander Frei from Borussia Dortmund. Others new signings included Turkish Çağdaş Atan from Energie Cottbus, Ghanaian Samuel Inkoom from Asante Kotoko, Massimo Colomba from rivals Grasshopper, Brazilian Antônio da Silva on loan from Karlsruher SC and Cabral who returned after being on loan to Sevilla.
The Campaign
Domestic League
In domestic affairs, Basel swept the board, despite a poor start to the season. After the eighth round Basel were only in ninth position in the league table, second last. They had lost three and won only two of the first eight league matches. This was also due to the number of injuries that the players suffered in the pre-season and in the early stages. After the weak start the results changed to the better, the team won seven of the eight subsequent matches. Under these were a 4–0 home win against St. Gallen and a 5–0 against Sion. The most spectacular, however, was the 5–4 away win against Luzern, where FCB took the lead three times, only for Luzern to equalise each time, only minutes later. In the 87th minute Luzern went in front for the first time and looked as though they would win, but entering into added time Alexander Frei equalised for FCB and in the fourth minute of added time Marco Streller scored the definitive winner. However, following the teams second defeat against table leaders Young Boys, Basel went into the winter break thirteen points behind the league leaders.
In the second half of the season the team played their best football. Basel with nine straight victories, 16 wins in their last 18 games, they made a comeback in the table. Despite suffering an embarrassing 0–4 away defeat against the Grasshoppers in the fifth last round, Basel drew level with Young Boys on 77 points before the last match of the season. Strangely enough, in the last round the two teams played against each other. This match was in Bern at the Stade de Suisse on 16 May 2010, the YB at home against FCB, with a capacity crowd of 31,120 spectators. Both teams started well into this so-called "Finalissima" and both teams created their chances. However, after Alberto Regazzoni was cautioned for a foul on Valentin Stocker in the 23rd minute, Basel won control of the game and home goalkeeper Marco Wölfli was forced to make a good save following Scott Chipperfield's left footed shot. Jacques Zoua had a good shock blocked and Stocker failed to connect to a cross from the right. In the 38th minute a cross from defender Scott Sutter gave Seydou Doumbia, the YB top scorer his first chance, but the header went wide. Directly after this Basel game forward with a long ball from Zoua to Carlitos, controlling the ball well he saw Stocker free on the other side of the penalty area. Carlitos played a long pass, the ball bounced high on the artificial grass field, but the winger was able to flick the ball into the net. Then, exactly on the hour, a left footed cross from Stocker found Scott Chipperfield unmarked in front of goal and he was able to head home and give Basel a 2–0 win.
Seydou Doumbia became league top goal scorer with 30 goals. Joint second top scorer in the league was Basel's top scorer Marco Streller with 21 goals. He was level with Cristian Ianu from FC Luzern and Émile Mpenza from FC Sion. Second top scorer in the team was Alexander Frei with 15, third was Scott Chipperfield with 13, followed by Valentin Stocker with 12 and Benjamin Huggel with 11 goals. The team achieved their aim by winning the championship.
Domestic Cup
Basel entered the 2009–10 Swiss Cup in the first round of the competition and the team's clear aim for the Cup was to win it. In the first round, teams from the Super League and Challenge League were seeded and could not play against each other. In a match, the home advantage was granted to the team from the lower league, if applicable.
SC Cham (20 September 2009)
Basel were drawn against SC Cham, who at that time played in the 1. Liga, the third tier of Swiss football. The match was played at the Herti Allmend Stadion in Zug with a sold-out capacity crowd of 5,210 spectators. Basel dominated their opponents, although they were able to hold on until shortly before the half time whistle. In the 44th minute Federico Almerares was able to put the visitors into the lead. Shortly after the break it was again Almerares who scored Basel's second goal and in 76th minute Orhan Mustafi netted their third. The hosts were getting tired, but although the visitors were creating chances, a shot from Alexander Frei hit the cross-bar, Basel could not increase the score. With the result at 3–0 Basel advanced to the second round.
Le Mont (17 October 2009)
Teams from the Super League were seeded in the second round and could not play each other. In a match, the home advantage was granted to the team from the lower league, if applicable. Basel were drawn against FC Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, who at that time were semi-professional and played in the Challenge League, the second tier of Swiss football. The match was played at Stade Olympique de la Pontaise in front of 1,000 spectators. Basel dominated their opponents from the first minutes. After a corner in the fifth minute and a header from David Abraham a Le Mont defender was able to clear from the goal-line. But then Marco Aratore, Marco Streller and Federico Almerares scored the goals to put Basel three up before half time. Le Mont never gave up and fought until the end. In the 63rd minute Renato Rocha pulled a goal back for the home time, but there wasn't enough for more. With a 3–1 away win Basel advanced to the third round.
Zürich (20 November 2009)
In the third round, the ties were drawn, there was no seeding, everyone could meet everyone. The home advantage was granted to the team from the lower league, otherwise to the team that was drawn first. Basel were drawn at home against top tier Zürich and the game was watched by 17,749 supporters. Both teams started well, the game was intensive and both teams created chances. Valentin Stocker was able to score a goal after 17 minutes and this put the home team at an advantage. Zürich reacted and Dusan Djurić with their best chance managed the equaliser after 32 minutes. This was the score at half-time and after the break Basel pressed forwards. In the 53rd minute Alexander Frei put the home team in front. Basel were now in control of the game. Again Frei, just five minutes later, scored to put the home them further into the lead. In the 75th minute Marco Streller put the ball into the Zürich net and the game was as much as decided. In the second minute of over-time Alexandre Alphonse was lucky to collect a diagonal ball from his teammate and he netted to make the final score 4–2 for the home team, who thus advanced to the quarterfinals.
Biel-Bienne (12 December 2009)
The quarterfinals were played as the last match of the year and gave Basel another home tie in the St. Jakob-Park. Their opponents were second tier Biel-Bienne and they were watched by a crowd of just 7,503 people. They saw the favourites take control of the game from the very beginning, but the favorites could not profit from their dominance immediately. In the sixth minute Marcos Gelabert saw his shot rebound from the post and in the ninth minute he saw his header rebound from the cross-bar. Basel kept playing forwards, creating chances and in the 24th minute Xherdan Shaqiri also saw his shot rebound from the goal-post. Eventually the goal had to come and in the 45th minute Alexander Frei put the home team in front. After an hour of play Frei doubled up and nine minutes later Marco Streller managed the third. Although immediately after the restart Dennis Hediger pulled a goal back for the visitors the game was decided and Basel won 3–1 to advance to the semi-finals.
Kriens (5 April 2010)
The semi-finals were played on the afternoon of Easter Monday and Basel were drawn away against SC Kriens. The match was played in the Stadion Kleinfeld in front of over 5,000 spectators, the conditions were dry but not warm. Basel were missing goalkeeper Franco Costanzo, midfielder Cabral, and their two Swiss international forwards Alexander Frei and Marco Streller due to injury. Their midfielder Valentin Stocker returned for the first time to the club where he had played his early youth football before he moved to Basel in 2005. He was received with a warm welcome from the fans, but was also the victim of the first considerably hard foul during the first minutes of the game. Both teams seemed to make no progress during the early stages and it took up until the 17th minute before the first chance was created. Basel's midfielder Marcos Gelabert played a long diagonal cross from the left side, defender Patrik Baumann was unable to clear the ball and Federico Almerares, who was positioned behind him, put the favorites a goal up. Kriens forward Janko Pacar had two good chances for the home side, one before the break and one after, but they both failed. Basel controlled the game during the second half, but the game became much more physical, the Kriens team collected four yellow cards and the Basel team three, but the narrow result remained until the end. Basel won 1–0 and thus advanced to the final.
Lausanne-Sport (9 May 2010)
Basel's opponents in the final were Lausanne-Sport, who at that time played in the Challenge League, the second tier of Swiss football. Lausanne had qualified for the final beat beating top tier St. Gallen 2–1 in the semi-final. The final was played in the St. Jakob-Park in front of 30,100 spectators and under these was also Swiss international team manager Ottmar Hitzfeld. Basel were clear favourites and the two young international players Valentin Stocker in the 28th minute and Xherdan Shaqiri two minutes later put Basel into a comfortable two goal lead by half-time. Just one minute into the second half Jacques Zoua added the third and six minutes later Scott Chipperfield the fourth. The captain of the Swiss international team Alexander Frei came on as a substitute in the 67th minute, making his comeback after being out injured fracture of his right arm since February. Frei gave the assist as Stocker scored the fifth. The final score was 6–0 as international Benjamin Huggel scored with a header in the last minute of the game. It had been a fair game, referee Sascha Kever did not have to show a single yellow card.
Conclusion
Basel won the Swiss Cup for the tenth time in the club's history. Basel achieved the double this season and thus completed their domestic aims. As finalists of the Swiss Cup, Lausanne qualified for the second qualification round of the UEFA Europa League.
UEFA Cup
Basel's clear aim for this competition was to reach the group stage and to advance to the
knock-out stage, which was to start after the winter break.
Second qualifying round
Basel entered the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League in the second qualifying round and were drawn against Andorrans Santa Coloma.
Santa Coloma (16 July 2009)
The first leg was at home in the St. Jakob-Park in front of over 25'000 spectators and this high amount of spectators was because the club granted free entry to everybody. Basel were clear favorites to win the match and so new head-coach Thorsten Fink used the opportunity to bring some young players from the U-21 team into the squad. Basel started well and pushed forward as expected. In the 5th minute Santa Colma goalkeeper Ricardo Fernandez had to react quickly to deflect a shot from Benjamin Huggel onto the post. It was one of the youngsters in the starting eleven Serkan Şahin who put the hosts a goal up after 23rd minutes. In the 28th minute Antônio da Silva netted again for Basel, but the linesman ruled him offside. Three minutes after half time Marco Streller scored Basel's second goal and in the 59th minute Federico Almerares scored as well and the match ended 3–0 in Basel's favour.
Return match (23 July 2009)
The second leg was played in Estadi Comunal d'Aixovall one week later. Basel again dominated their opponents and Marco Streller put them ahead in the 12th minute. Two minutes later Marcos Gelabert doubled up. Five minutes before the break Santa Coloma's Argentinian defender José Daniel Álvarez was unlucky and deflected a ball passed his own goalkeeper. Directly afterwards Santa Coloma pressed forward and the Basel defence brought Maicon down. He took the spot-kick himself sending goalkeeper Franco Costanzo the wrong way. Basel dominated the second half, but could not create dangerous situations until the final minutes. Three minutes from time substitute Federico Almerares ran clear and scored his goal to and the match ended with a 4–1 away victory for Basel, thus victors with a 7–1 on aggregate.
Third qualifying round
FCB were then drawn against KR Reykjavík of Iceland in the third qualifying round. They in their turn had beaten Greek team Larissa in the previous qualifying round.
KR Reykjavík (30 July 2009)
The first leg took place at KR-völlur on a dry and sunny pitch on 30 July in front of 1,500 spectators. Basel had started well, but the goal scored by Alexander Frei after four minutes was disallowed due to an off-side decision by Spanish referee Fernando Teixeira Vitienes. Then, early goals from Gudmundur Benediktsson, after six minutes, and Grétar Sigurdsson, on nine minutes, gave the home side a 2–0 lead. Basel took control of the game after this early shock, they played well together and pressed forwards, but it was not until the 58th minute before Scott Chipperfield pulled one back and until the 83rd minute before Federico Almerares levelled the score. Basel came away with a deserved two all draw.
Return match (6 August 2009)
The second leg in Switzerland took place and a sunny and warm evening in front of 13,117 spectators. Head-coach Thorsten Fink again made multipal changes to the starting eleven, but the players understood themselves well and played an attacking football with both Alexander Frei and Marco Streller coming to early chances. Frei then used a good Streller pass to put the home team a goal up after 29 minutes. Seconds before half time Marcos Gelabert challenge on Takefusa was ruled as penalty and because Gelabert protested he was shown a second yellow card and sent-off. Takefusa sunk the spot-kick leaving keeper Franco Costanzo with no chance. Despite being a man less in the second half Basel pushed forward. A free-kick from Scott Chipperfield in the 77th minute hit the near post and the next chance was netted by Xherdan Shaqiri to put the hosts in front again. The visitors were under pressure and defending with all they had and picked up three yellow cards for fouls in just three minutes. Basel were awarded a penalty on 79 minutes and Alex Frei converted it as the match ended with a 3–1 win for Basel, meaning they won 5–3 on aggregate.
Play-off round
Basel progressed to the play-off round. With their coefficient 51.050 they were seeded and were drawn against FK Baku of Azerbaijan with one of the lowest coefficients 0.899. Baku had dropped into this round after being eliminated from the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League qualifying phase (Champions Path) by Levski Sofia. Basel were clear favourites, but although Baku meant that there would be an arduous journey to Azerbaijan, on the other hand the chances of success were extremely good.
Baku (20 August 2009)
The first leg was played in Baku at Tofik Bakhramov Stadium as Baku's normal grounds Guzanli Olympic Stadium did not meet UEFA criteria. The attendance was some 13,000 people and the referee was Zsolt Szabó from the Hungarian Football Federation. He was called into action very early because of the hard ways of playing, there were three/four hard fouls and then after another Ernad Skulić was shown the yellow card in the third minute. The game calmed from then immediately and both teams played well, especially the visitors, but it was Fernando Nestor Pérez who put the locals 1–0 ahead just after half time. Basel head-coach Thorsten Fink then reacted and substituted in the two attacking midfielders Carlitos and Xherdan Shaqiri for the defensive players Samuel Inkoom and Behrang Safari. The changes worked-out and the team turned it around and won 3–1, scoring three goals in six minutes, these coming two from Marco Streller and the other from Benjamin Huggel.
Return match (27 August 2009)
One week later the second leg at St. Jakob-Park took place in front of 7,113 spectators. Basel started well and created chances. In the 32nd minute Federico Almerares eventually converted one of their chances to give them the lead. The players were still celebrating their first success and did not concentrate as Baku played a fast counter-attack, Felipe Almeida Félix took his chance and put the teams level again. It was Basel's turn to react and they did. Marcos Gelabert put the hosts 2–1 up on 36 minutes. Basel were in control of the match and in the second half Alexander Frei, Benjamin Huggel and Xherdan Shaqiri each added another goal. The match ended with Basel winning 5–1 on the night and 8–2 on aggregate.
Group stage
The victory in the play-offs meant that Basel qualified for the Europa League group stage. The group stage featured the 38 winners of the play-off round and the 10 losing sides of the Champions League play-off round. The draw for the group stage was held in Monaco on 28 August 2009. The matches in group stage took place between 17 September and 17 December 2009. FCB were then drawn into Group E alongside A.S. Roma (Italy), Fulham (England) and CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria).
Roma (17 September 2009)
Basel started in the group with a home game against Roma. It was a cloudy day and, in the evening, it was warm with about 18 °C, but the pitch in the St. Jakob-Park was damp. Basel started fast into the game, in 11th minute Carlitos shot the hosts into the lead. A loose ball fell in front of Cabral's feet and he immediately passed it to Carlitos, who, with a first-time drive from about 30 metres found the bottom corner of the goal. Then an intense period of pressure from the Roma team followed. Francesco Totti sent a dipping free-kick which hit the top of the crossbar and John Arne Riise's long-range drive was deflected wide. Alexander Frei nearly doubled the hosts' lead, but he was stopped by a good challenge from Philippe Mexès. Soon after Marco Streller had a powerful header tipped over the bar, following a good move down the right flank. In the 72nd minute Streller then hit the crossbar with a very good volley. A late breakaway by substitute Federico Almerares earned Basel an impressive victory and the three points, just three minutes from time, as he was sent clear by Frei and calmly rounded Júlio Sérgio to score and make it a 2–0 win.
Fulham (1 October 2009)
Matchday 2 in the group stage saw Basel make their first ever visit to Craven Cottage and some 16,000 supporters were in the stadium to see a tight encounter between Fulham and the visitors. Referee was German Michael Weiner, it was a cloudy evening and the pitch was dry. Basel started well and were in charge of the game, as in the 13th minute as their winger Behrang Safari out ran Fulham defender Stephen Kelly wide on the touchline and he played an exact pass to Alexander Frei, but the striker placed his shot the wrong side of the post. Basel midfield Benjamin Huggel hooked a half-volley over the bar after 20 minutes and he was guilty of another miss four minutes later, after Marco Streller had headed on a ball to leave him with only keeper Mark Schwarzer to beat. The visitors had much the better first period. Fulhaim manager Roy Hodgson must have said harsh words to his team because the team played better after the break. Basel still played somewhat better, but Fulham captain Danny Murphy struck with a low drive in the 57th minute and this remained the only goal of the game, as his side then won 1–0 to climb to the top of Group table.
CSKA Sofia (22 October 2009)
Basel's third match in the group stage took place on 22 October and was an away game against CSKA Sofia. CSKA Sofia played their home group matches at Vasil Levski National Stadium as their Balgarska Armiya Stadium did not meet UEFA criteria. Referee was Jorge Sousa from Portugal, the weather was cloudy and cool, the pitch was soft and there were 25,000 spectators. Basel started slowly, but were in charge of the game and were always looking dangerous whenever they pushed forward. Basel took the lead in the 20th-minute, as Marco Streller let a long ball bounce past him to Alexander Frei, who was able to chest it down and place his shot beyond keeper Ivan Karadzhov who was rushing towards him. Frei could have scored his second goal as he burst through between two defenders in the 39th minute, but he shot wide. Basel kept up their momentum, but CSKA didn't bring much to stand at the other end. After the half time break Frei had another chance, only a last gasp tackle by substitute Aleksandar Branekov denied him on the hour. In the 63rd minute he did manage his second goal as he rose highest to head home a cross that came from the right from Carlitos. Keeper Karadzhov then managed to parry a further another Frei effort following a goalmouth hustle. Basel came home with a 2–0 victory.
CSKA Sofia (5 November 2009)
Matchday four was the return game against the Bulgarians and this was played two weeks later in St. Jakob-Park with 15,255 spectators. Referee was Oleh Oriekhov from the Football Federation of Ukraine, the weather was cloudy and the pitch was soft. Basel head coach Thorsten Fink was forced to change his team because of injuries to goalkeeper Franco Costanzo, defender David Abraham and midfielders Carlitos and Antônio da Silva. The visitors were the team playing better during the first half-hour and Basel were forced to defend in the early stages, but the game changed dramatically in just six minutes. After 35 minutes Marcos Gelabert opened the score, as Valentin Stocker laid the ball into his path and his 20-metre shot was slightly deflected as it made its way into the goal, beyond the reach of keeper Zdravko Chavdarov. Six minutes later Bulgarian defender Aleksandar Branekov fouled Alexander Frei in the penalty area and he converted the spot-kick himself. In the 61st minute CSKA came back into the match as Marquinhos's corner flew over all the central players and found Todor Yanchev, who was able to control the ball with his chest and to score with a looping shot beyond goalkeeper Massimo Colomba. However the CSKA revival didn't last long, because only six minutes later Benjamin Huggel's long pass over flew the defence and came to Frei, who moved neatly past Chavdarov and push the ball into the empty net. Frei struck twice against CSKA for the second game running. This was the goal to 3–1 and this score remained until the end.
Roma (3 December 2009)
The return game against Roma on matchday five was played in Stadio Olimpico in front of 27,000 spectators. Basel began well, the team was daring and venturesome, the Italians started somewhat slow. Basel took a deserved lead after 18 minutes as a left-wing cross from Valentin Stocker to the near post was headed home by Basel captain Benjamin Huggel. Roma were then forced to increase their pressure and they did, Simone Perrotta had two near misses within four minutes. Then Cicinho's cross flew high into the penalty area, Marcos Gelabert pulled back Francesco Totti and referee Tony Chapron from the French Football Federation whistled for a spot-kick. Totti himself converted the penalty beyond keeper Stefan Wessels's left hand. Basel started into the second half as they had at the beginning of the game, acting dangerously. Ten minutes after the break keeper Júlio Sérgio did well to tip an Alexander Frei effort over the top. Roma then increased their pressure again and a series of first-time passes ended with Daniele De Rossi playing the ball behind the Basel back line to Mirko Vučinić and his left-footed shot put his team into the lead. During the closing stages Marco Streller forced keeper Sérgio to make a save with his feet and Alexander Frei hit the cross-bar but the visitors were unable to equalise. The game ended 2–1 for Roma, leaving Basel's fate hinging on the final match against Fulham.
Fulham (16 December 2009)
Matchday six, the return game against Fulham, was played in the St. Jakob-Park in front of 20,063 spectators. The pitch was wet after rain, this turned to snow and the temperature dropped to freezing point. The outcome of this group was far from being decided, Roma were group leaders with ten points, Basel were second with nine points and Fulham had eight points. Roma were already qualified for the knock-out stage and one of the two teams playing here were to advance as well, Basel needed not to lose. The match started level on terms, neither side playing better than the other, but neither creating many good chances. However, Bobby Zamora scored twice in three minutes just before half-time to put the Premier League side two in front at the break. Zamora nearly completed his hat-trick just following the beak, but reserve keeper Massimo Colomba stretched and saved his free-kick. Alexander Frei pulled one back with a second-half penalty in the 64th minute following a handball, but then in the 77th minute Zoltán Gera restored the visitors two-goal lead. However, the visitors' nerves were fraying during the closing stages and in the 87th minute Marco Streller headed home. This gave Basel hope of a draw and that would have sent them through to the next round, Fulham were happy that they survived the nerve-wracking last few minutes.
Conclusion
In a close game, the English club had narrowly won 3–2, sending Basel out of the competition with third place in the Group Table. This meant that Basel's aim for the European competition was not quite achieved, their hopes had been to advance to the knock-out stage. Group winners A.S. Roma were eliminated in the next round, being defeated twice 3–2 by Panathinaikos. Fulham advanced to the final in the HSH Nordbank Arenain Hamburg but were defeated 2–1 after extra time by Atlético Madrid.

The Diesel Tilt Train is the name for three high-speed tilting trains, operated by Queensland Rail on the North Coast line from Brisbane to Cairns as part of its Spirit of Queensland service.
History
In August 1999, a contract was awarded to Walkers for two diesel tilting trains to operate services from Brisbane to Cairns. In contrast to the Electric Tilt Train, the diesel Tilt Train is a push-pull locomotive based train, although the two are externally similar.
Following a derailment of the Diesel Tilt Train in November 2004 that injured 157 people, all services were limited to until track upgrades and the introduction of Automatic Train Protection allowed full speed operation to resume in June 2007.
In October 2010, Downer Rail was awarded a contract to build a further diesel tilt train with two power cars and 12 carriages to replace locomotive hauled stock on The Sunlander. All work was performed in Maryborough. The first refurbished set entered service in October 2013. The third and brand new set was delivered and entered service in 2014.
Liveries
The original paint scheme, or livery, was yellow, purple and silver in colour, which was retained until the Spirit Of Queensland had a major overhaul in the mid-2010s.
In 2010, designs by Torres Strait Islander artist Alick Tipoti were painted on one side of the carriages, while the work of Aboriginal artist of the Waanyi people, Judy Watson, was featured on the other side.
Routes
The DTT features a 2×2 economy class seating arrangement, 1×2 business class seating arrangement, in-seat audio and visual entertainment and a TV screen attached to the seat armrest. A trolley service is available, and a club car is part of the consist of this Tilt Train service. In October 2013 when the first refurbished set returned to traffic, the service was named the Spirit of Queensland.
In 2014, the additional train was delivered to operate as a replacement for The Sunlander between Brisbane and Cairns, meaning the only service on this route is the Spirit of Queensland.

Ronald P. Schaefer (born June 17, 1949), also known as Ron Schaefer is an American academic, English professor, and linguist. He is the first person "to devise a written version of a language called Emai", a language reported in 1997 to be spoken by about 30,000 Emai people in Edo State of Nigeria. He has been described as one with "fevered intellect, the sharp chin, the untamable kineticism."
Biography
Schaefer was born in Minnesota in 1949. From 1971 to 1973, he served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan where he taught English language at Kabul University. Of the experience he said “What it did for me was open me up to the vast cultural currents that traversed Afghanistan over historical time. Alexander the Great and his armies had moved through. Genghis Khan had moved through. The great Mogul Empires had housed themselves there, and various other significant populations that I had read about in school. Now I was able to see the remnants of their buildings, their wells.”
Work on Emai
Between 1981 and 1985, he taught in the linguistics department at the University of Benin. It was there he discovered the language Emai, spoken by one of his students Francis Egbokhare. Emai is spoken about 60 miles from Benin, in the Afemmai Hills of Edo State. Schaefer had first planned to study all the languages of the region, but eventually relented. The motivation for his work on Emai, he said, was to prevent the language from going into extinction.
“Right now, it would be very difficult to find a storyteller, a chief who knew the stories and knew how to tell them as the Emai traditionally told their stories. It’s just not possible. So today, you have young people who are training to be linguists, and they work with a native speaker. They will find some piece of information, or they will find a sound pattern or a syntactic pattern and they will think this is brand new. It may be true, but it will probably come about as a part of incomplete learning on the part of young people because parents are not using the language in the home, and schools certainly don’t use it. We have been fortunate that some schools have used our stories to begin to teach the language, but it is really an uphill battle. By studying your language you learn something about who you are, especially at a university,”
Schaefer and Egbokhare have worked together for over thirty years. With Egbokhare, he has produced "a 552 page dictionary of Email, two volumes of oral tradition narratives running to 1,261 pages." Together, they have also published "over 35 books and essays in the space of 20 years."
Work at Southern Illinois University
In 1986, he joined the faculty of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and was promoted in 1990 to assistant professor, and later to full professor in 1995. In 2010, he was recognized as a Distinguished Research Professor.
He retired from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2015.

Lau v. Nichols, 414 U.S. 563 (1974), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court unanimously decided that the lack of supplemental language instruction in public school for students with limited English proficiency violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The court held that since non-English speakers were denied a meaningful education, the disparate impact caused by the school policy violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the school district was demanded to provide students with "appropriate relief".
Background
In 1971, the San Francisco school system desegregated based on the result of Supreme Court case Lee v. Johnson. At that time, 2,856 Chinese and Hispanic students, who were not fluent in English, were integrated back into the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Only about 1000 of those students were provided supplemental English instruction. Of the other 1800-plus Chinese students who were not fluent in English, many were placed in special education classes while some were forced to be in the same grade for years.
Even though the Bilingual Education Act was passed by Congress in 1968 to address the needs of Limited English Speaking Abilities students, its application was limited. School participation in those programs was also voluntary, and, by 1972, "only 100,391 students nationally, out of approximately 5,000,000 in need were enrolled in a Title VII-funded program."
Edward H. Steinman, a public-interest lawyer, reached out to the parents of Kinney Kinmon Lau and other Chinese students with limited English proficiency. He encouraged them to challenge the school district, and they filed a class action suit against Alan H. Nichols, the president of the SFUSD at the time, and other officials in the school district. The students claimed that they were not receiving special help in school due to their inability to speak English, and they argued they were entitled to special help under the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because of equal protection and the ban on educational discrimination.
The District Court for the Northern District of California denied the relief and the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the decision. The District Court argued that since a uniform policy was used for all students in SFUSD and that the district didn't intentionally discriminate against students with limited English proficiency, equal protection was provided and the Fourteenth Amendment was not violated. The Court of Appeals claimed that since the school district provided the same treatment for all students, even though some students were disadvantaged due to their limited fluency in English, the school district was not required to make up for the different starting points of students. The students appealed the Court of Appeal's decision to the Supreme Court.
Decision of the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court issued its decision on January 21, 1974, with the Court unanimously ruling in favor of Lau. Instead of examining the equal protection clause from the 14th Amendment, the Court relied on Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Since the school system received federal funding, it was required to provide equal opportunities and access to all students. The Court claimed that even though the school districts provided equal treatment for all students, it still imposed disparate impact on the non-English speaking students since they were not able to understand the class material as effectively as other students and therefore were deprived of having "meaningful" education. The Court also referenced the guideline established by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in 1970, which stated that language could be used as a proxy of discrimination on national origin and that "the district must take affirmative steps to rectify the language deficiency in order to open its instructional program to these students." The Supreme Court demanded the school district to make necessary changes to provide equal education to the non-English speakers, but it didn't state any specific remedies for the district to follow.
Justice Potter Stewart, joined by Chief Justice Burger and Justice Blackmun, concurred with this decision as he stated that affirmative remedial efforts, suggested by the OCR, were constitutional and appropriate in this case as long as the efforts were "reasonably related to the purposes of the enabling legislation." In his concurrence joined by Chief Justice Burger, Justice Blackmun also suggested that "numbers are at the heart of this case" and that if the case only involved a few students, rather than nearly 2,000, the decision would not be the same.
Legacy
Lau remains an important decision in bilingual education history. In this case, the Supreme Court found a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 based on the discriminatory effect of the school policy, regardless of the intent of the officials. It prohibited the "sink or swim" policy and set a precedent of finding disparate impact in violation of the Civil Rights Act. The decision was subsequently followed by the passing of Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974 in Congress, which specifically prohibited discrimination against faculty and students in public schools and required the school districts to take "appropriate action" to overcome the barriers to equal participation of all students. It increased funding to the Bilingual Education Act and made additional English instruction mandatory, which effectively extended the Lau ruling to all public schools. The Office for Civil Rights then developed a remedial guideline in 1975, otherwise known as the Lau Remedies, that specified methods and approaches for school districts to follow in order to provide a meaningful education to students with limited English proficiency. This led to the development of bilingual programs and additional English instruction in most public schools.
However, there have been challenges to the Lau decision in recent decades. In the Supreme Court case Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U.S. 275 (2001), the Court claimed that private plaintiffs did not have the right of action to sue against disparate impact violation under Title VI and they must provide proof of intentional discrimination. It implied that students can no longer sue schools for policies that cause disparate impact, which significantly weakened the foundation of the Lau decision.

Kushmanda Sarowar Triveni Dham () is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site dedicated to the Goddess Kushmanda Bhagwati. The name Kushmanda is formed by amalgamation of three words, meaning ‘a little’, meaning ‘warmth’ and meaning ‘the cosmic egg’. Hence, she is considered as the creator of the universe. She is often shown as having eight or ten hands and holds weapons, rosary, etc. and rides a lion. She is also said to be the happy form of goddess Durga, the fourth of the Navadurga worshipped in Dashahara. It is believed that her smile ended the eternal darkness that was present before the existence of any creation. Winter melon (Kubindo) is the favourite offering for the goddess.
The pilgrimage is located in the outskirts of Hetauda sub-metropolis, in central Nepal. The site is a Triveni sangam (a confluence of three rivers) where two right tributaries Karra and Kukhreni flow into the East Rapti River. The holy site has seen significant development in the last decade. Kushmanda Sarobaar Tribeni Shrine Development Committee oversees the development and promotion of the site. Kushmanda Bhagwati Temple is the center of homage of the site. Kushmanda Sarowar is the holy pond dedicated to Mother Kushmanda. The river banks provide one of the major ritual Hindu cremation sites in Hetauda.
It sees major influx of pilgrims during the festivals of Kushmanda Nawami, Makar Sankranti and Teej. It is believed that she and other gods come to bathe in the holy waters of this site. The devotees take a holy bath by immersing themselves into the waters of Triveni itself or by running under the row of a hundred and eight (108) holy taps that have been built in the temple premises. Tens of thousands of people visit the holy site in Makar Sankranti, taking ritual bathes and performing mass Upanayan of young boys, a Hindu rite of passage. Women observing the festival of Teej also take ritualistic baths here on Rishi Panchami to conclude the festival.

Arthur L. "Al" Welsh (August 14, 1881 – June 11, 1912) was a Russian-born American pioneer aviator who became the first flight instructor for the Wright Brothers. He was killed in an aircrash in 1912.
Early life
He was born as Laibel Welcher on August 14, 1881, in Kiev, Ukraine, which was then part of the Russian Empire. He was one of six children of Abraham and Dvora Wellcher. In 1890, the family emigrated to Philadelphia, speaking no English. He attended both public school and Hebrew school there. His father died when he was 13 years old and he was sent to Washington, D.C., to live with relatives shortly after his mother remarried. He was a top student who did best in math and mechanics, and was excellent at swimming.
He changed his surname to "Welsh" when he joined the United States Navy as a 20-year-old, expecting greater success in the Navy with a name that did not sound "too Jewish". He received an honorable discharge after a tour of duty that lasted four years. He contracted typhoid fever one month after he was discharged and spent four months recovering in a hospital.
Pilot
After his recuperation, Welsh moved back to Washington, D.C. While working as a bookkeeper at a local gas company, Welsh wrote a letter to the Wright brothers after seeing a flight demonstration in Virginia, but did not receive a job offer with the company. He traveled to Dayton, Ohio, convinced that he could make a positive impression in person. The brothers gave him a job in the Wright Company's new flying exhibition division, even though he did not have the experience they were looking for.
He began his orientation with the Wright Company in Dayton and traveled to the company's winter flying location in Montgomery, Alabama, where he showed strong potential as a pilot with Orville as his instructor. Called back to Dayton, he was asked to help establish the company's flight school at Huffman Prairie. He worked there as an instructor and test pilot alongside pioneers Frank Trenholm Coffyn and Ralph Johnstone. There he taught students including Hap Arnold, who would become a five-star general leading the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. He set multiple records for flight time and altitude and won several flying competitions.
Student George William Beatty flew his first solo flight on July 23, 1911, and that same day flew as a passenger with Welsh to establish a new American two-man altitude record of 1,860 feet, one of Welsh's many such records.
Death
Welsh died in a crash on June 11, 1912, while flying with Leighton Wilson Hazelhurst, Jr. at the United States Army Aviation School in College Park, Maryland, on a Wright Model C that had recently been purchased by the Aeronautical Division, U.S. Signal Corps. The United States Army Signal Corps had established a series of ten acceptance tests for the aircraft, and Welsh and Hazelhurst were taking the Model C on a climbing test, the next to last in the series required by the Army. Shortly after takeoff, the plane pitched over while making a turn and fell to the ground, killing both crew members. They had both been ejected from their seats, with Welsh suffering a crushed skull and Hazelhurst a broken neck. The New York Times described Welsh as "one of the most daring professional aviators in America" and his flying partner Hazelhurst as being among the "most promising of the younger aviators of the army".
A board of inquiry was formed by the United States Secretary of War Henry Lewis Stimson, which concluded that Welsh was at fault in the crash, having risen to 150 feet, with the plan to dive at a 45-degree angle in order to gain momentum for a climb, but had made the dive too soon, with the board's results reported in the June 29, 1912, issue of Scientific American. In a 2003 interview, a cousin of Welsh's reported the family's belief that the tests were run too rapidly and that Welsh was doomed to fail by carrying too much fuel and a passenger, giving a craft that would be unable to make the planned maneuver with the weight it was carrying.
Former student George William Beatty, who had set up his own flying instruction school on Long Island, replaced Welsh as the government's test pilot at the College Park facility.
Personal life
Welsh's funeral was held on June 13 at Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, D.C., then an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, with services led by the congregation's cantor Joseph Glushak. The funeral was attended by Orville Wright and his sister Katharine, who had traveled from Dayton, Ohio, and who were still in mourning for their brother Wilbur, who had died less than two weeks earlier. Welsh was buried at the Adas Israel Cemetery in the Douglass neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
Welsh was survived by his wife Annie, who died in 1926, and by their two-year-old daughter Ailene. His daughter lived into her 90s, living in England and adopting the name Abigail, but keeping the last name Welsh. In a 2003 interview she recalled the warmth and kindness of members of what she called the "Wright Circle", and how she had crawled through the legs of Hap Arnold as a toddler when he visited the family home. She expressed her regret that "I wish I had known my father. I heard so many good things about him."
In his 1949 book Global Mission, Hap Arnold credited Welsh with having "taught me all he knew, or rather, he had taught me all he could teach. He knew much more."
Welsh grew up in the same Washington D.C. neighborhood, Southwest, as another Russian immigrant, Asa Yoelson, later better known as the singer Al Jolson.

Johann Wilhelm Schütze (September 1807, Hamburg – 24 July 1878, Berlin) was a German painter and art professor. His birth year is sometimes given as 1814, and the place as Berlin. He has often been confused with , a painter from Munich.
Life and work
His first art lessons were in Berlin, with . From 1847 to 1848, he worked with Carl Eggers, creating frescoes designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, in the hallway at the Altes Museum. Later, he was a professor at the Royal School of Art.
He was especially successful as a painter of genre scenes, from the lives of the rural farmers; with a preference for naïve, youthful characters. Many of his works were made into lithographs (and other prints) by himself and others, and issued in folio formats. These became widely popular. One of these prints, a wood-engraving by Richard Brend'amour (1831–1915), was published in the British newspaper Illustrated London News in 1882.
His works include a large altarpiece at the (1869). Schützenstraße in Hamburg is named after him.

The Meixian dialect (; Pha̍k-fa-sṳ: Mòi-yan-fa; IPA: ), also known as Moiyan dialect, as well as Meizhou dialect (), or Jiaying dialect and Sixian dialect (in Taiwan), is the prestige dialect of Hakka Chinese. It is named after Meixian District, Guangdong.
Phonology
Initials
There are two series of stops and affricates in Hakka, both voiceless: tenuis // and aspirated //.
* When the initials // , // , // , and // are followed by a palatal medial // , they become [] , [] , [] , and [] , respectively.
Rimes
Moiyan Hakka has seven vowels, , , , , , and , that are romanised as ii, i, ê, a, e, o and u, respectively.
Finals
Moreover, Hakka finals exhibit the final consonants found in Middle Chinese, namely which are romanised as m, n, ng, b, d, and g respectively in the official Moiyan romanisation.
Tone
Moiyan Hakka has six tones. The Middle Chinese fully voiced initial syllables became aspirated voiceless initial syllable in Hakka. Before that happened, the four Middle Chinese 'tones', ping, shang, qu, ru, underwent a voicing split in the case of ping and ru, giving the dialect six tones in traditional accounts.
These so-called yin-yang tonal splittings developed mainly as a consequence of the type of initial a Chinese syllable had during the Middle Chinese stage in the development of Chinese, with voiceless initial syllables tending to become of the yin type, and the voiced initial syllables developing into the yang type. In modern Moiyan Hakka however, part of the Yin Ping tone characters have sonorant initials originally from the Middle Chinese Shang tone syllables and fully voiced Middle Chinese Qu tone characters, so the voiced/voiceless distinction should be taken only as a rule of thumb.
Hakka tone contours differs more as one moves away from Moiyen. For example, the Yin Ping contour is (33) in Changting () and (24) in Sixian (), Taiwan.
Entering tone
Hakka preserves all of the entering tones of Middle Chinese and it is split into two registers. Meixian has the following:
陰入 [ ˩ ] a low pitched checked tone
陽入 [ ˥ ] a high pitched checked tone
Middle Chinese entering tone syllables ending in [k] whose vowel clusters have become front high vowels like [i] and [e] shifts to syllables with [t] finals in modern Hakka as seen in the following table.
Tone sandhi
For Moiyan Hakka, the yin ping and qu tone characters exhibit sandhi when the following character has a lower pitch. The pitch of the yin ping tone changes from (44) to (35) when sandhi occurs. Similarly, the qu tone changes from (53) to (55) under sandhi. These are shown in red in the following table.
The neutral tone occurs in some postfixes. It has a mid pitch.
Internal variation
The Meixian dialect can be divided into four accents, which are:
Meicheng accent: Most of the townships in the central part of Meixian County (including present-day Meijiang District)
Songkou accent: Songkou, Longwen, Taoyao.
Meixi accent: Meixi.
Shejiang River accent: Shejiang River in the southwest of Meixian County.

Kumari is a 2022 Indian Malayalam-language mythological fantasy film written and directed by Nirmal Sahadev, featuring Aishwarya Lekshmi in title role. It also features Shine Tom Chacko and Surabhi Lakshmi in supporting roles. The film is produced by Giju John, Nirmal Sahadev, Sreejith Sarang and Jakes Bejoy under the banner The Fresh Lime Sodas. Abraham Joseph is the cinematographer of the film, while Jakes Bejoy composed the songs. Kumari is co-produced by Aishwarya Lekshmi, Priyanka Joseph and Mridhula Pinapala
Plot
The movie starts with a grandmother narrating to her grandchild a story about a goddess that had visited the earth. Becoming fascinated by the beauty of planet, she did not return to her abode, and married a mortal man and had two children named Chathan and Gari Devan, who neither looked like gods nor humans and possessed enormous powers. They fought amongst themselves and destroyed the planet forcing the goddess to restrain Chathan to the mountains and Gari Devan under the land, before returning to her abode. Human beings then start worshipping them, knowing that they are very powerful and can be used for the betterment of mankind.
The movie then shifts to a village, where the conservative landlord Thuppan undervalues people from low-caste and was known to be very cruel. Chokkan was a young orphan, who unbeknownst to everyone often met Chathan and gave him food in exchange for gems. Thuppan's generous wife Nangakutty was fond of Chokkan and often conversed with him. One day, while Chokkan was conversing with Nangakutty, he forgets the mangoes that he fetched and Nangakutty, unbeknownst to anyone, eats the mangoes which was considered a sin by the landlord as he considers them outcasts. Later, while Nangakutty was serving food to Thuppan, he notices the smell of mangoes coming from Nangakutty and realizes she ate mangoes from the forest. The agitated Thuppan who was feeling impure, went to have a bath in the family pond to purify himself. Finding Chokkan having a bath at the pond, a furious Thuppan admonished him and eventually killed him using a rock. Angered, Chathan cursed the village causing a rain of rocks and deadly disease, with which Thuppan got infected. To get rid of the curse and protect his clan and people, Thuppan decided to invite Gari Devan.
After twelve generations, Kumari, an orphan raised by her uncles and her brother Jayan, marries Dhruvan, a mentally ill person and Thuppan's descendant despite receiving opposition from Jayan, for her uncles. Kumari is attracted towards the forest by Chokkan but she is desisted by her co-sister Lakshmi, Dhruvan's brother Achyuthan's wife, who discloses that their family is not supposed to enter the forest, having earned the wrath of Chathan. She also reveals that Thuppan had sought the protection of Gari Devan against the curse imposed on the family by Chathan. Later, Kumari confronts Dhruvan when she witnessed his uncle Velyachan and brother Achyuthan mistreat him and he reveals that he was ignored in favor of his brother, causing him to be his own companion and people started to believe that he was mentally unwell. He also revealed that he killed his teacher for beating him mercilessly with a cane for watching a dance performance by skipping his lessons. Kumari realizes that what Dhruvan needs is love and affection and begins to care for him. Achyuthan meanwhile engages in an extra-marital affair with a woman named Parijatham, who provokes him to seek authority over the village.
Kumari, chasing Chokkan who fascinated her, enters the forest and meets a woman called Muthamma who tells Kumari that the latter is carrying a child, who would be in danger because of Dhruvan and asks her to come meet her across the river and that she would take her to Chathan, who would protect the child. Kumari, horrified returns home and later, her pregnancy is confirmed. Kumari gets stressed over the fact that no one in the family except for Dhruvan seem happy about her pregnancy. Dhruvan begins to hold desires for power over the village as its lord and Kumari catches him cutting his two fingers to resemble Gari Devan. Achyuthan mocks him over it and a fight erupts between them but Velyachan intervenes and declares that Dhruvan would be the next landlord as he is the first one of the next generation delivering an heir. Lakshmi later divulges to Kumari that she intentionally didn't bear children for a reason. Twelve generations ago, after Thuppan invites Gary Devan, the former had sacrificed his own son to Gari Devan for appeasing him despite Nangakutty's protests which caused her to commit suicide. The sacrifice of Thuppan's son and Gari Devan's protection for the family only lasts for twelve generations and it was Dhruvan's turn as the lord of the twelfth generation to sacrifice his child which is why the women were not happy over Kumari's pregnancy. Terrified, Kumari expresses to Lakshmi that Dhruvan would never do such a thing but Lakshmi tells her that the family's men would go to any extent to uphold their power and traditions. Lakshmi also reveals to Kumari that Thuppan has been alive for the last twelve generations rotting in the attic for his sins. Velyachan, having witnessed Lakshmi telling everything to Kumari, kills her the next morning.
Devastated, Kumari crosses the river and visits Muthamma's community that pray to Chathan and Muthamma takes her to Chathan, who promises to protect Kumari's child. She is given a small thing to be buried in her house and a few incantations to be read. Velyachan begins to train Dhruvan for engaging in the next sacrifice while Parijatham instigates Achyuthan to visit Chathan and seek power but he gets killed by Chathan. Later, Velyachan also dies of a snake bite and Dhruvan takes his position as the next lord. Chathan's curse begins to haunt the village for the second time, repeating the history. After a fire erupts in their house, Dhruvan gets convinced that someone is conspiring against him and has taken Chathan's side and goes into the forest along with his henchmen. He beats up Chathan's worshippers but is forced by his henchmen to return when Chathan's arrival is signalled by the nature. Angered by his violence and concerned for her people, Muthamma reveals that Kumari is the one conspiring against him to protect her child. Dhruvan confronts Kumari and justifies that it would be his responsibility to kill his child for the village and confines her to a room. Kumari's brother Jayan visits her to take her away and assaults Dhruvan in the fields for mistreating Kumari but Dhruvan murders him leaving Kumari distraught. With no other option, Kumari meets Thuppan, who blames himself for all the miseries that he has caused and asks her to pray to the goddess, previously worshipped by Nangakutty, whom he had ignored for approaching Gari Devan. She finds the idol of the goddess along with a dagger that she had seen previously in her nightmares.
Kumari eventually gives birth to a healthy boy and tries to escape with the baby but Dhruvan ambushes her and takes the child for sacrifice. He calls Gari Devan to accept the sacrifice but Kumari comes back and fights Dhruvan and Gari Devan with the dagger from the goddess idol. On the other side, in the forest, Muthamma and her people invoke Chathan with their loud prayers. In response to all this, Chathan arrives and fights against Gari Devan to uphold his promise to Kumari and finish the fight that he had started long ago. Chathan cuts off Gari Devan's tongue while Kumari reluctantly kills Dhruvan and saves her baby. One is still unsure whether Gari Devan is alive (being a demi-god) or dead.
A few years later, Kumari is now looking over the village as the landlady. Unlike the men in her family, she is more humane and understanding. Kumari's son finds Chokkan standing in the forest and tries to go to him. This perhaps indicates that he will be Chathan's next friend.

Release
The film opened in theaters in Kerala on 28 October 2022 and was released on Netflix on 18 November 2022.
Reception
Cinema Express writes Kumari is powered by a heavily folklore-influenced narrative that bears elements of a gothic horror story or a monster feature, Kumari is one of those films with all its departments well-balanced.
The New Indian Express writes the most impressive aspect of Kumari is its visual texture heavy with ominous foreboding.
A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Director Nirmal Sahadev, who debuted with Ranam, an action drama set in Detroit, has improved his game marginally, but a shallow script pulls Kumari down". A critic from onManorama said that "The plot, however, is stuck in a rulebook of the genre, if there is one. The characters' tension doesn't convey to the audience. The narrative flows in a rather predictable manner, leaving little moments of thrill and fear".
Music
The music was compoosed by Jakes Bejoy and one song composed by Manikandan Ayyappa who also co-composed the background score with Bejoy.

Fanning is an unincorporated community in western Crawford County, Missouri, United States. It lies along former U.S. Route 66, now Missouri Supplemental Route ZZ, four miles southwest of Cuba. Fanning is also home to the world's second largest rocking chair, located outside of the Fanning 66 Outpost.
A post office called Fanning was established in 1887, and remained in operation until 1953. Fanning is named for John Fanning (1821-1906), originally of Limerick, Ireland. John Fanning was the founding railway section foreman beginning in the mid-19th century when the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway (Frisco) was first built through the region. His home, which still stands in Fanning, was for many decades the railway station, church, post office, and social center of the community.

Jaime Lerner (17 December 1937 – 27 May 2021) was a Brazilian politician. He was the governor of the state of Paraná, in southern Brazil. He is renowned as an architect and urban planner, having been mayor of Curitiba, capital of Paraná, three times (1971–1974, 1979–1983 and 1989–1992). In 1994, Lerner was elected governor of Paraná, and was re-elected in 1998.
As an urban planner and architect, he was renowned in Brazil as he helped design most of the city walkways, roads, and public transportation of Curitiba such as the Rede Integrada de Transporte. In 1965, he helped create the Instituto de Pesquisa e Planejamento Urbano de Curitiba and designed the Curitiba Master Plan.
Early life
Lerner was born into a Jewish family, originally from Łódź, Poland, who emigrated to Curitiba. He graduated from the Escola de Arquitetura da Universidade Federal do Paraná; (Architecture School of the Federal University of Paraná) in 1964. In 1965, he helped create the Instituto de Pesquisa e Planejamento Urbano de Curitiba (Institute of Urban Planning and Research of Curitiba, also known as IPPUC) and participated in the design of the Curitiba Master Plan.
Mayor of Curitiba
In 1988, Jaime Lerner announced his candidacy for mayor of Curitiba with only 12 days remaining before the election. During his first term, Lerner implemented the Rede Integrada de Transporte (also called bus rapid transit), and continued to implement a host of social, ecological, and urban reforms during his ensuing terms as mayor.
As mayor, Lerner employed unorthodox solutions to Curitiba's geographic challenges. Like many cities, Curitiba is bordered by floodplain. Wealthier cities in the United States, such as New Orleans and Sacramento, have built expensive and expensive-to-maintain levee systems on floodplain. In contrast, Curitiba purchased the floodplain and made parks. The city now ranks among the world leaders in per-capita park area. Curitiba had the problem of its status as a third-world city, unable to afford the tractors and petroleum to mow these parks. The innovative response was "municipal sheep" who keep the parks' vegetation under control and whose wool funds children's programs.
When Lerner became mayor, Curitiba had some bairros impossible to service by municipal waste removal. The "streets" were too narrow. Rather than abandon these people or raze these slums, Lerner began a program that traded bags of groceries and transit passes for bags of trash. The slums got much cleaner.
Similarly, Curitiba has a nearby bay that was a dumping ground that would be extremely costly to clean up. Lerner began a program that paid fishermen for any garbage they retrieved (by the pound). That way, they can make money even outside fishing season, supplementing their income. The savings to Curitiba are in the millions.
Lerner instituted many innovative social and educational programs. Bairro kids can be apprenticed to city employees if they want to avoid going to school. Although his term as mayor is not without controversy, Curitiba does not have the gangs of much more populous cities such as Rio de Janeiro.
Bus Rapid Transit
Perhaps the crown jewel of Curitiba's achievements is its Rede Integrada de Transporte Bus Rapid Transit system (called "Speedybus"). Originally, the city was given federal money to build a subway (Curitiba is not a small town), but Lerner discovered that "heavy rail" like a subway costs ten times the amount of "light rail" (trolleys), which, in turn, costs ten times a bus system, even with dedicated bus ways. The "light rail" savings usually touted to sway municipal decision makers occur because even trolleys can have relatively fewer drivers than a 40-60 passenger bus. He got Volvo to make 270 person Swedish articulated buses (300 Brazilians, said Lerner), so that the problem of a lower passenger-number-to-driver ratio was no longer an issue. The city built attractive transit stops with the look and feel of train stations, and all with handicapped access equipment, inducing private firms to purchase and operate the buses. A hierarchy of buses of six sizes feed one another. The city controls the routes and fares, while the private companies hire drivers and maintain equipment.
Natural land-use patterns within the city of Curitiba support public transit systems. Buildings along the dedicated busways are up to six stories tall, gradually giving way, within a few blocks, to single story homes. This mix of densities ensures sufficient user population within walking distance of bus stops.
As Governor of Paraná
As governor of Paraná, Lerner used a policy of attracting investment to turn the state into one of Brazil's industrial hubs, generating investments of over US$20 billion between 1995 and 2001. Following upon his experience in Curitiba, Lerner focused on issues like transport, education, health, sanitation, leisure, and industrialization.
UNICEF awarded Lerner the Child and Peace Prize in 1996 for his programs "'Da Rua para a Escola'" (From the Street to School), "'Protegendo a Vida'" (Protecting Life), and "'Universidade do Professor'" (Professor's University).
In 2011, Lerner was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for the illegal layoff of a public tender during his mandate as governor. He wasn't arrested due to his age.
Later life
At the General Assembly of the International Union of Architects in July 2002, Lerner was elected president for a period of three years. Lerner was also a professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the Universidade Federal do Paraná, his alma mater, and has been a guest professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
In April 2005, Jaime Lerner participated in the Symposium of China Bus Rapid Transit Initiative (Shanghai) to promote the BRT project in some larger cities. He was specially interviewed which made an impact on mayors and urban planners across China.
Lerner was a member of the Board of Directors of World Resources Institute.
Lerner died of kidney disease on May 27, 2021, at the age of 83.

Lion Brewing and Malting Company of Jerningham Street, Lower North Adelaide was one of the many breweries which proliferated in Australia in the nineteenth-century. In those days beer was much cheaper than now; the wholesale price was 1/ a gallon, but transport was expensive, and small breweries were to be found all over the country. Most of these have now disappeared, having either closed down or become merged in larger businesses. Lion Brewing and Malting eventually confined itself to malting barley and manufacture of aerated waters and cordials.
The company was floated in 1888 in order to secure the brewing, hotel and property assets of Beaglehole and Johnston, issuing 75,000 shares of £1 each. The company owned many hotels in South Australia including the Cross Keys Hotel at Dry Creek (and subdivided around 20 acres adjacent in 1912), the Flagstaff Hotel, Darlington, the Oriental Hotel in Osmond Terrace, Norwood and the Bath Hotel at 91 King William Street in the city. Later in the 20th century it became a shareholder in another major hotel owner, Knapman and Sons, and bought out that company in 1973.
Johnston brothers
Andrew Galbraith Johnston (1827 – 18 December 1886), James Johnston (1818 – 12 April 1891) and three other brothers, all of Campbeltown, Scotland, arrived in South Australia on the Buckinghamshire early in 1839 with their father, who soon built one of South Australia's first malthouses and founded the town of Oakbank. He served a ten-year apprenticeship as a draper, then opened a shop in Reedy Creek which he left for the goldfields. He was quite successful and with his brother James, after a brief stint as a miller in Bridgewater, joined his father's brewing business and together built it into a highly profitable business.
Robert Cock, a "first settler" who accompanied Governor Hindmarsh on , and for whom Cox's Creek was named, has been reported as founder of the malting business. and had a substantial farm in the area.
James Johnston was one of the best-known men in the south, as his firm had business connections and valuable hotel property in all the principal centres of the district. He took an active interest in the politics of the Onkaparinga district and was generous in his support of the Woodside and Mount Barker Institutes. He was one of the founders of the Mount Barker Agricultural Society (missing only one of its first 44 annual shows) and with his brother Andrew was an active promoter of the Onkaparinga Racing Club (now Oakbank Racing Club), and its Great Eastern Steeplechase, first run in 1876. He was an enthusiastic proponent of "acclimatisation of useful species" and stocked the district about his home with Californian quail, and filled the Onkaparinga with perch. He married Margaret "Minnie" Disher (died 11 April 1900), a sister of Eliza, Lady Milne. The Disher family arrived in Adelaide aboard Palmyra in October 1839.
James's son John Disher Johnston (1850–1916) was a partner in the brewery. Another son, James Steele Johnston (1870 – 22? May 1892) was partner in the Broken Hill, New South Wales brewing firm of Simpson, Johnston and Co.
W. H. Beaglehole
For more details see main article
William Henry Beaglehole (6 May 1834 – 1 June 1917) was born at Helston, Cornwall, and came to South Australia at the age of 15. He worked as a builder, then joined rush to the goldfields of Victoria, where he had some success. He operated as a builder and developer in the copper-mining towns of Kadina, Wallaroo, and Moonta, where he was for eight years landlord of the Royal Hotel. He represented the district for six years in the South Australian House of Assembly.
He founded the firm Beaglehole and Johnston with James and Andrew Galbraith Johnston, owners of the Oakbank Brewery. In 1884 he founded the Lion Brewing and Malting Company and was elected chairman of directors. He founded the Waverley Brewery at Broken Hill (later purchased by the South Australian Brewing Company). He started a distillery at Thebarton, which was subsequently acquired by Milne and Co. He was one of the first ≠members of the South Australian Licensed Victuallers' Association. He was one of the founders of the Grand Hotel in Melbourne.
F. A. Chapman
Frederick Arthur Chapman (10 March 1864 – 18 September 1925) was born in Stepney, South Australia, the son of Arthur Chapman, one of Adelaide's best-known hotel brokers. He was educated at Grote Street State School, J. L. Young's Adelaide Educational Institution and Prince Alfred College. He entered the brewing trade as an apprentice under Mr. G. Gray at the Lion Brewery and remained with the company all his life. At 18 be was sent out as a traveller, and became acquainted with most aspects of hotel management. He worked in every branch of the trade and at the age of 25 he was appointed company secretary. By then the company had ceased brewing to concentrate on production of malt, aerated beverages and cordials. His duties took him periodically to Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, where the company had customers for its malt among the leading breweries.
He was for some time secretary of the South Australian Associated Brewers and the Brewers' Association. On many occasions he represented the brewing interest at conferences and in Arbitration Court cases. He was a director of the Cooperative Bottle Company, and was for a time chairman of the finance committee of the Chamber of Manufacturers.
For six years he was a member cf the Church of England Synod's financial board, and for many years a synodsman and lay reader of the Church.
He was a prominent Freemason and a member of the Commercial Travellers' Association for over 30 years.
Chapman died of a heart attack on the Melbourne Express on his way to Victoria where he was to holiday with his brother, L. Chapman of Western Australia. He left a widow Marian (née Kingsborough), two sons: Dr. A. Chapman (superintendent of the Adelaide Dental Hospital) and Mr. S. Chapman (secretary of the Lion Brewing Company) and a daughter, Elma Chapman.
S. I. Chapman
Stanley Irwin Chapman (1892 –29 September 1940), a son of F. A. Chapman, was educated at St. Peter's College, then worked for some years with Burns, Philp and Company Ltd. in New Guinea. When war broke out in 1914 he joined the navy, and on return to Sydney transferred to the army as staff sergeant. After the war he joined Lion Brewing and eventually succeeded his father as manager. He was an active member of the Returned Soldiers' League and of St. Peter's Old Collegians' Association.

Colin George Blakely (23 September 1930 – 7 May 1987) was a Northern Irish actor. He had roles in the films A Man for All Seasons (1966), The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), Murder on the Orient Express (1974), and Equus (1977).
Early life
Born in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland, Blakely attended Sedbergh School in Yorkshire (now Cumbria), England. At the age of 18 he started work in his family's sports goods shop in Belfast, before going on to work as a timber-loader on the railways. In 1957, after a spell of amateur dramatics with the Bangor Drama Club, he turned professional with the Group Theatre, Belfast.
Career
In 1957, at the age of 27, Blakely made his stage debut as Dick McCardle in Master of the House. He also appeared in several Ulster Group Theatre productions, including Gerard McLarnon's Bonefire (1958) and Patricia O'Connor's A Sparrow Falls (1959). From 1957 to 1959 he was at the Royal Court Theatre, appearing in Cock-A-Doodle Dandy, Serjeant Musgrave's Dance and, to critical approval, The Naming of Murderers Rock. In 1961, he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon and from 1963 to 1968 was with the National Theatre at the Old Vic. On television, Blakely appeared in the "Armchair Theatre" series in 1962, episode "The Hard Knock" and director Charles Crichton unusually cast Blakely in two different roles during the same run of episodes of the 1967 series Man in a Suitcase. Also in 1967 he appeared in The Avengers in the episode "Murdersville" as Mickle.
In 1969, Blakely's controversial role as an anguished Jesus Christ in Dennis Potter's Son of Man gained him wide recognition. From that time onwards, he was a regular on British television, and in the same year played the leading role in a BBC adaptation of Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now.
Among the many stage plays in which he appeared were The Recruiting Officer, Saint Joan, The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Filumena Marturano, Volpone and Oedipus. He returned to the Royal Shakespeare in 1972 in Harold Pinter's Old Times and was subsequently in many West End plays.
Notable film roles included Maurice Braithwaite in This Sporting Life (1963), Vahlin in The Long Ships (1964), Sir Thomas More's house servant Matthew in A Man for All Seasons (1966), Dr. Watson to Robert Stephens's Holmes in Billy Wilder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), and Joseph Stalin in Jack Gold's Red Monarch (1983). In the 1975 British film, It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet, derived from the James Herriot books, Blakely played the eccentric Siegfried Farnon. (Blakely's Son of Man co-star Robert Hardy would play the role in the 1978-1990 BBC television series All Creatures Great and Small.)
Blakely also appeared in Young Winston (1972), The National Health (1973), Murder on the Orient Express (1974), The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976), Equus (1977), The Dogs of War (1980), Nijinsky (1980) and Evil Under the Sun (1982).
A noted Shakespearean actor, Blakely appeared on television as Antony in Antony and Cleopatra (1981), directed by Jonathan Miller as part of the BBC Television Shakespeare series; and as Kent in the 1983 Granada Television version of King Lear which starred Laurence Olivier. Other television appearances included Loophole (1981), The Beiderbecke Affair (1985), Operation Julie (1985) and Paradise Postponed (1986).
Personal life
Blakely was married to British actress Margaret Whiting for 26 years and had three sons, including twins. He died of leukaemia in London, aged 56.

Hypogymnia is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. They are commonly known as tube lichens, bone lichens, or pillow lichens. Most species lack rhizines (root-like attachment organs on the lower surface) that are otherwise common in members of the Parmeliaceae, and have swollen lobes that are usually hollow. Other common characteristics are relatively small spores and the presence of physodic acid and related lichen products. The lichens usually grow on the bark and wood of coniferous trees.
Hypogymnia was proposed by lichenologist William Nylander, first as a subgenus of Parmelia in 1881, and 15 years later as a distinct genus of two species, including the widespread and common type species, Hypogymnia physodes. It has since grown to about 90 recognized species. Hypogymnia has a centre of biodiversity in China, where many of its species are found.
Taxonomy
Hypogymnia was first created as subgenus of Parmelia by Finnish lichenologist William Nylander in 1881. He associated it with the species Parmelia physodem (which ultimately became the type species, Hypogymnia physodes), noting the lack of rhizines as the characteristic distinguishing it from Parmelia. Nylander later promoted it to generic status in 1896. At this time, the genus contained only two species: Hypogymnia pertusa (currently named Menegazzia terebrata) as well as the type species. For many decades afterwards, the genus did not have widespread recognition, as most lichenologists preferred to include the "hypogymnioid" lichens in the classic form genus Parmelia. In 1951 Hildur Krog considered the morphology and chemistry of this group of species to be distinctive and reinstated the genus Hypogymnia. Krog included four subgenera, including H. subg. Cavernularia and H. subg.Everniiformes. These later became accepted as distinct genera (the former only temporarily; see synonymy below), the latter under the name Pseudevernia.
In 1974, Krog published an account of three Northern Hemisphere Hypogymnia species that grow on acid rock in arctic and alpine habitats. These species, namely H. atrofusca, H. intestiniformis, and H. oroarctica, make up the H. intestiniformis group. This biologically discontinuous assemblage of species was segregated from Hypogymnia by Trevor Goward under the genus name Brodoa in 1986. It differs from Hypogymnia in its compact medulla, larger spores and different cortical structure.
Hypogymnia is classified in the Parmeliaceae. The family Hypogymniaceae has been proposed in the past to contain the genus and other similar hypogymnioid lichens, but this taxonomic arrangement has not been widely accepted by other taxonomists. For example, Krog argued that no critical characters had been suggested that could be used as a defining familial characteristic. In the Parmeliaceae, Hypogymnia belongs to the hypogymnioid clade along with the genera Arctoparmelia, Brodoa, and Pseudevernia. All of these genera share the common characteristic of having a loosely compact medulla.
Hypogymnia lichens are commonly known as "tube lichens", "bone lichens", or "pillow lichens". The name Hypogymnia, derived from the Ancient Greek - (hupó, meaning "under") and (gumnós, meaning "naked"), refers to the bare lower surface of the thallus.
Synonymy
Synonyms of Hypogymnia are Cavernularia, created by Gunnar Degelius in 1937, and Ceratophyllum, created by Maurice Choisy in 1951. Cavernularia contained two hypogymnoid species, C. lophyrea and C. hultenii. This species pair has an array of pronounced but small depressions in the lower surface, instead of the smooth or irregularly wrinkled surface typical of Hypogymnia; Degelius called these minute cavities (about 0.1 mm diameter) "cavernulae". The two Cavernularia species are otherwise similar to Hypogymnia in terms of overall morphology, microstructure of the apothecia, and chemistry. Molecular analysis showed that Cavernularia needed to be subsumed into Hypogymnia in order for the latter genus to be monophyletic. This suggested synonymy had already been proposed several decades earlier by Veli Räsänen in 1943 and Hildur Krog in 1952, but not adopted by later authors, including Krog herself.
Description
Hypogymnia is a genus of medium to large foliose lichens. They are typically greenish grey to brownish grey in colour; some species are yellowish (from usnic acid). The thallus comprises more or less inflated but hollow (tube-like) lobes. These lobes often have a perforation at the tip. The colour of the ceiling of the tubes (the medullary surface) is dark brown or white, and is often used as a characteristic to distinguish between species. The lower surface of the tube is black with a smooth or wrinkled texture.
Rhizines are root-like attachment organs on the lower surface of a lichen thallus, made of elongated strands of hyphae; a shorter version of this attachment organ is called a hapter. Although many recent lichen floras and manuals describe Hypogymnia as lacking rhizines, a 2015 study challenges the universality of this assertion. In the study, researchers studied a large number of Hypogymnia collections, representing 72 species as well as 64 type specimens. They found that rhizines and hapters were occasionally present on the lower surface of 35 species. Two types of attachment organs are found: slender rhizines with fine and tapering tips (found in H. krogiae and H. subfarinacea), and the more common hapters, which are thick with broken tips. Both types are dark brown to black and usually the same colour as the lower surface. In all cases where these attachment organs are found, however, they are few in number and are sparsely distributed on the lower thallus surface.
The apothecia of Hypogymnia are lecanorine in form with a constricted base and are often raised or shaped like an urn. The apothecial discs are red-brown and typically concave. Ascospores are colourless, ellipsoid, and number eight per ascus. They are relatively small, less than 9 μm long. Pycnidia are black and appear as small dots on the surface of the lobes. The photobiont partner is trebouxioid–a green alga from the genus Trebouxia.
The cortex contains atranorin (responsible for the grey colour), while the medullae of most species have physodic acid, and some species contain other orcinol and beta-orcinol depsidones, including protocetraric acid and physodalic acid.
The genus Menegazzia contains species that could be confused with Hypogymnia; Menegazzia, however, has perforations on the upper lobe surface, unlike Hypogymnia. Other superficially similar genera, such as Brodoa and Allantoparmelia, can be distinguished from Hypogymnia by their solid lobes.
Habitat and distribution
Hypogymnia species usually grow on bark and wood, particular that of conifers. Less frequently, they are found on rock or mossy soil. The genus has been recorded on all continents except Antarctica. In tropical to subtropical locations, Hypogymnia appears to be restricted to high elevations, where temperatures are cooler. Seventeen species are recorded from the Himalayan region of India and Nepal, while 31 species are present in North America. In Mexico, it is relatively rare; of the 11 species recorded from there, only two are known from more than 10 collections, and only one, H. guadalupensis, is endemic to the country. Nine species occur in Europe. Southwestern China is a centre of biodiversity for the genus, as more than 40 species occur there. It is one of the few large Parmeliaceae genera that has its main distribution in the Northern Hemisphere.
Ecology
There are several lichenicolous fungi that are known to infect Hypogymnia species. Some of them parasitise specific lichens, such as Plectocarpon hypogymniae (on Hypogymnia bitteri), Lichenopeltella hypogymniae (on Hypogymnia zeylanica), Muellerella antarctica (on Hypogymnia antarctica), Phacopsis cephalodioides (on Hypogymnia physodes). Others have a less specific host range, including Abrothallus prodiens, Epithamnolia xanthoriae, Minutoexcipula calatayudii, Trichonectria anisospora, Endophragmiella franconica, Cyphobasidium hypogymniicola, Tremella hypogymniae, and Tremella papuana. The thalli of Hypogymnia physodes are inhabited by various species of orbatid mites.
Uses
Hypogymnia physodes has been used as a biomonitor for several applications. Examples include monitoring atmospheric nitrogen and sulphur deposition in Norway, the accumulation of mercury downwind of chloralkali plant in Wisconsin, and pollution from several toxic heavy metal elements following the closure of a large mine waste dump close to Zlatna, Romania. It was also used to help evaluate the levels of radionuclides deposited in the environment after the East Urals (1957) and Chernobyl (1988) nuclear accidents. H. tubulosa is an indicator species of old-growth forests. In China, H. physodes and H. pseudoenteromorpha are used as raw materials in the preparation of litmus reagent.
In 15th-century Europe, Hypogymnia physodes was one component (in addition to Evernia prunastri and Pseudevernia furfuracea) of the popular drug "Lichen quercinus virdes". In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hypogymnia hypotrypa is used for "dim vision, bleeding from uterus, bleeding from external injury, chronic dermatitis, and sores." Hypogymnia flavida and H. hypotrypa serve as raw material in the preparation of antibiotics in China.

Sheringham Point Lighthouse is located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, near the community of Shirley. Built in 1912 following the fatal wreck of the SS Valencia six years earlier, it is still used for navigation. The point was named for William L. Sheringham who took part in various naval surveys although not in this area.
The lighthouse and surrounding property is currently owned by the Canadian Coast Guard and fenced off, though the lighthouse can be seen easily from a trail beside the fence. , the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society is working to acquire the property from the Coast Guard and turn it into a public park.
Oceanographic research
From 1968 to 1989, the Sheringham Point Light was part of the British Columbia Shore Station Oceanographic Program, collecting coastal water temperature and salinity measurements for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans everyday for 21 years.
Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society
The Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society (SPLPS) was established in 2003 by local residents of Shirley, British Columbia, when the Canadian Coast Guard suggested deeming the Sheringham Point Lighthouse and its surrounding lands as 'surplus'. The SPLPS's mission is “to preserve the Sheringham Point Lighthouse structures and property; to ensure, through education, research, community action and consensus building, that the Sheringham Point Lighthouse, surrounding property and historic access routes remain accessible to the community and visitors now and in the future; to document and recognize the historical importance of the Sheringham Point Lighthouse and those who lived and worked there.”
In 2010, the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) officially declared the lightstation and surrounding lands surplus.
On May 29, 2015, The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, announced that 74 heritage lighthouses across Canada had been designated under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act.
ON June 8, 2015, the SPLPS received a letter from Minister Aglukkaq, indicating that the Sheringham Point Lighthouse was included on that list. Meanwhile, the Society and the Capital Regional District (CRD) have been working together to acquire the station and lands to create a park accessible to the public.
At an Apr 3, 2017 news conference, the SPLS announced the largest ever private donation to a lighthouse in Canada. The Westaway Charitable Foundation will be assisting the restoration with $550,00 over several years.

Under the rule of President Hugo Chávez who was elected President of Venezuela in 1998, relations between Israel and Venezuela rapidly deteriorated as Venezuela strongly supported the rights of the Palestinians and condemned Israeli actions, twice expelling the Israeli ambassador from Venezuela (2006, during the 2006 Lebanon War, and 2009, in response to the 2008–2009 Gaza War). Venezuela officially recognized the State of Palestine and established diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority on 27 April 2009.
History
During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, Chávez expelled the Israeli ambassador to Venezuela and downgraded economic and military accords between Venezuela and Israel. Chávez also compared Israel's actions to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. During a visit to both Russia and China in 2006, Chavez called for Israeli leaders to be tried in the International Criminal Court. According to Nikhil Shah of Z Magazine, Chávez's speeches and verbal attacks against Israel had earned him praise throughout the entire Arab world. Since then, Venezuela has strengthened its ties with Russia, China, Cuba and Iran in order to counter the support that Israel receives from the United States.
With the 2008–2009 Gaza War, Venezuela cut off all diplomatic ties with Israel and expelled the Israeli ambassador from Caracas. After breaking diplomatic relations with Israel in January 2009 in protest at the invasion, Venezuela's Foreign Ministry said in September 2009 it would depend on Spain to represent its interests in Israel. Israel's interests in Venezuela would be represented by Canada. On 27 April 2009, Venezuela officially recognised the State of Palestine and has since supported the Palestinian cause at the United Nations, being the first country in the Americas to do so. On 29 November 2012, Venezuela voted in favor of granting recognition as an observer status to Palestine at the United Nations. During the 2014 Gaza War, President Nicolás Maduro said that the government "vigorously condemns the unfair and disproportionate military response by the illegal state of Israel against the heroic Palestinian people."
Since the start of the Venezuelan presidential crisis, Palestine has supported Maduro.

Keith Hamilton Basso (March 15, 1940 – August 4, 2013) was a cultural and linguistic anthropologist noted for his study of the Western Apaches, specifically those from the community of Cibecue, Arizona. Basso was professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of New Mexico and earlier taught at the University of Arizona and Yale University.
After first studying Apache culture in 1959, Basso completed a bachelor's degree at Harvard University (B.A., 1962) and then took the doctorate at Stanford University (Ph.D., 1967). He was the son of novelist Hamilton Basso.
A classic contribution to ethnopoetics and the ethnography of speaking, Basso's 1979 book Portraits of the Whiteman examines complex cultural and political significance of jokes as a form of verbal art.
Basso was awarded the Victor Turner Prize for Ethnographic Writing in 1997 for his ethnography, Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache. The work was also the 1996 Western States Book Award Winner in Creative Nonfiction. In this ethnography, Basso expressed his hope that anthropologists will spend more time investigating how places and spaces are perceived and experienced; for human relationships to geographical places are rich, deeply felt, and profoundly telling.
Basso died from cancer on August 4, 2013, at the age of 73, in Phoenix, Arizona.

He taught Sanskrit at the Aix-Marseille University, then at Jean Moulin University Lyon 3, where he was eventually nominated professor emeritus. Varenne has also been a visiting professor at the University of Chicago, and at other universities in India, Cambodia and Mexico.
Biography
Early life and education
Jean Varenne was born on 12 June 1926 in Marseille, Provence. He attended , then Aix-Marseille University and the University of Paris, earning a PhD in Sanskrit studies at the École des Hautes Études. Varenne was a member of the French School of the Far East, and taught in India and Cambodia.
In 1962, he received a teaching position at Aix-Marseille, where he founded the Department of Indian Studies in the early 1960s. Varenne also worked as a visiting professor at El Colegio de México and at the University of Chicago in the second part of the 1960s.
Indology and political activism
In 1974, Varenne joined the patronage committee of Nouvelle École, a review published by GRECE, an ethno-nationalist think tank led by Alain de Benoist. He quit his teaching position at Aix-Marseille in 1980, and co-founded with Jean Haudry and the "Institute of Indo-European Studies" (IEIE) at the Jean Moulin University Lyon 3 the same year. He was appointed professor of Sanskrit philology, Indian civilization and history of religions at Lyon 3 in 1981. Varenne was also involved with the neo-fascist magazine Défense de l'Occident, led by Maurice Bardèche.
During the 1980s, Varenne directed the series "Le Monde Indien" in the prestigious publishing house Les Belles Lettres, and he founded the Belles Lettres collection "Études Indo-Européennes" in 1987. He served as the president of GRECE from 1984 to 1987, and was also a member of the Institute of Formation of the Front National (FN) of Jean-Marie Le Pen. In 1990 he was nominated to the "Scientific Council" of the FN.
Later life and death

Like many other states in the United States, Texas has a long history with the game of baseball.
19th century: the beginning of baseball in Texas
The birth of baseball in Texas happened at the same time as the Civil War in 1861 with the formation of the Houston Base Ball Club to promote the game the same way Alexander Cartwright had during the 1840s with the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club in Manhattan. Baseball was played in Galveston and other Lone Star State locations prior to the war. The distribution of the game was interrupted by the Civil War but would pick up by the end of the war. Baseball was played during the war mostly by Yankees but occasionally by Confederates. A humorous story by Texas-based Union soldier George A. Putnam told of a baseball game interrupted by Confederate gunfire. Putnam stated:
On April 21, 1868, the first occurrence of a baseball game was taken into account by the Houston Post. At the San Jacinto Battlegrounds near Houston, where General Sam Houston led Texas to triumph in the War of Independence from Mexico in 1836, a baseball game took place on the anniversary now celebrated as San Jacinto Day. The Houston Stonewalls defeated the Galveston Robert E. Lees, 35–2, that rivaled the result of what originally happened on the same site.
Baseball spread throughout the state in the next two decades as a popular amateur game. The influence of what the Houston club had done in the early 1860s, along with those who acquired the nuances of the game from Civil War travels and immigrants who moved to Texas during the Reconstruction Era, helped in organizing the sport and bringing more attention to the game in the state. Scarcely a generation after the state's first recorded game in 1868, Texas fielded 100 minor league clubs—more than any other state.
The acceptance of baseball had greatly expanded throughout Texas by the end of the 19th century. Houston Base Ball Club was a founding member of the Texas League in 1888 and also won their first league pennant the next year. The Houston ballclub went by the nicknames of Babies, Red Stockings, Mud Cats, Magnolias, and Wanderers before the Houston Buffaloes name became permanent around the turn of the 20th century.
Professional baseball
Minor league
The Texas League helped to make professional baseball popular in the state beginning in the late 19th century. There were teams in Austin, Beaumont, Cleburne, Corsicana, Dallas, Fort Worth, Galveston, Greenville, Houston, Paris, San Antonio, Sherman, Temple, Texarkana, and Waco. The Texas League is presently a Major League Baseball (MLB) affiliated minor league at the AA level. Not all the teams in the league are in Texas. However, both of the state's two MLB franchises, the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros, have teams in Texas in the league. The Rangers' affiliate is the Frisco RoughRiders, while the Astros' affiliate is the Corpus Christi Hooks.
Along with the Texas League, there have been many baseball leagues that briefly existed in Texas or included at least one team from the Lone Star State such as: Lone Star Colored League of Texas, Negro American League, Colored Texas League, Texas Negro League, Texas-Oklahoma Negro League, South Texas Negro League, West Texas Negro League, Mexican National League, Central Baseball League, American Association, All-American Association, South Central League, Arkansas State League, Cotton States League, Rio Grande Valley League, Rio Grande Association, Southwestern League, Panhandle-Pecos Valley League, Longhorn League, North Texas League, West Texas–New Mexico League, Sooner State League, Arizona–Texas League, Lone Star League, Big State League, Gulf States League, East Texas League, Texas Association, Arkansas–Texas League, West Texas League, South Texas League, Middle Texas League, Central Texas League, Texas-Southern League, Texas–Louisiana League, Texas Valley League, Texas–Oklahoma League, Southwest Texas League, Evangeline League, West Dixie League, Gulf Coast League, Western Association, Texas Winter League, United League Baseball, Continental Baseball League, and Sophomore League. In addition to MLB and the Texas League, present-day teams compete in the Pacific Coast League, the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, the Pecos League, and the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball.

College baseball
College baseball also has been a staple of Texas culture, and Texas collegiate baseball programs can be found throughout the different levels of college athletics. NCAA Division I conferences that currently include Texas teams are the American Athletic Conference, Big 12 Conference, Conference USA, Missouri Valley Conference, Southeastern Conference, Southland Conference, Southwestern Athletic Conference, Sun Belt Conference, and Western Athletic Conference. Many of the major programs (Baylor, Houston, Rice, Southern Methodist (SMU), Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Christian (TCU), and Texas Tech) previously all played together in the Southwest Conference (SWC). SMU ended its baseball program in 1980, and the SWC dissolved in 1996.
Other conferences that include one or more Texas collegiate baseball programs are the Heartland Conference, Lone Star Conference, American Southwest Conference, Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, Red River Athletic Conference, Sooner Athletic Conference, Southwest Junior College Conference, Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Western Junior College Athletic Conference, and NAIA independent schools (University of Houston–Victoria).
Texas has some intense in-state rivalries such as the Battle of the Brazos between Texas A&M and Baylor University, Houston-Rice rivalry, the Holy War between Baylor and TCU, Battle of the Piney Woods between Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin State University, and the Lone Star Showdown between the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies. Other in-state rivalries include Sam Houston State–Rice, Texas–Rice, Texas State–Rice, Texas State–University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas Tech–Baylor, Texas–Texas Tech, Texas Tech–Texas A&M, Texas–Baylor, Sam Houston State–Houston, Texas Southern–Prairie View A&M, St. Mary's–University of the Incarnate Word, Dallas Baptist–Houston Baptist as well as other esoteric rivalries.
Tournaments, like the Southwest Diamond Classic in Frisco, Texas, Whataburger College Classic in Corpus Christi, Texas, and Houston College Classic played at Minute Maid Park, take place in late February because of the more convenient, warmer weather.

Baroness Friederike Viktoria Mariana Ottilie von Gumppenberg (3 August 1823 – 21 January 1916) was a lady-in-waiting for Crown Princess Marie Friederike of Prussia. She appeared in the Gallery of Beauties gathered by King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1843.
Life
Friederike was born in Munich in 1823. She was the daughter of the former Oberberg and Salinen councilor Baron Franz Seraph von Gumppenberg and his wife Therese, née Countess von Tannenberg. In 1842, Friederike entered the service as lady-in-waiting to Crown Princess Marie, who had just married and moved to Bavaria. Friederike remained her lady-in-waiting for 15 years. In 1857 she married her cousin Baron Ludwig von Gumppenberg. She saw her only son, Maximilian von Gumppenberg on Deining, sink into his grave in 1889 when he was only 31 years old. His son, Baron Ottmar Hubert von Gumppenberg, born in Munich in 1888, the grandson of the Friederike, was the lord of the castle at Deining in the Upper Palatinate in the 1950s.
She then gave up her service at court. Friederike received the title of Dame of Honor of the Royal Order of Theresia and the Order of Elizabeth. She died in 1916 in Munich.
Portrait
When Friederike was a lady-in-waiting, she often met King Ludwig I of Bavaria, who was particularly receptive to beautiful women. At that time, the king's work had already been in progress for fifteen years and was much talked about not only at the Bavarian royal court, but also in citizen circles. He commissioned his court painter, Joseph Karl Stieler to paint her for the Gallery of Beauties.
He depicted her in a red robe, with a bare shoulder, her noble face with beautiful eyes and clear gaze surrounded by dark curls and crowned by a simple parting, a landscape in the background. Her portrait was created in the same year as that of her princely mistress, the Crown Princess and later Queen Marie of Bavaria, until her marriage in 1857 to her cousin Baron Ludwig von Gumppenberg auf Deining, the king's orderly officer, and gave her husband a son.

Konrad von Würzburg (c.1220-1230 – 31 August 1287) was the chief German poet of the second half of the 13th century.
As with most epic poets of the age, little is known of his life, and his origin is disputed. There have been German scholars and local patriots of Würzburg who claimed he hailed from Würzburg. Wilhelm Wackernagel on the other hand contends that Konrad was from Basel, as the house he owned was called the "House of Wirzburg", meaning he was named "Würzburg" not after a city, but after a house. He seems to have spent part of his life in Strasbourg and his later years in Basel, where he died. Like his master, Gottfried von Strassburg, but unlike most other poets from the time, Würzburg did not belong to the nobility. His varied and voluminous literary work is comparatively free from the degeneration which set in so rapidly in Middle High German poetry during the 13th century.
According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, "[h]is style, although occasionally diffuse, is dignified in tone; his metre is clearly influenced by Gottfried's tendency to relieve the monotony of the epic-metre with ingenious variations, but it is always correct; his narratives—if we except Die halbe Birn, of which the authorship is doubtful—are free from coarseness, to which the popular poets at this time were prone, and, although mysticism and allegory bulk largely in his works, they were not allowed, as in so many of his contemporaries, to usurp the place of poetry."
Würzburg wrote a number of legends (Alexius, Silvester, Pantaleon) illustrating Christian virtues and dogma; Der Welt Lohn, a didactic allegory on the familiar theme of Frau Welt, the woman beautiful in front, but unsightly and loathsome from behind. Die goldene Schmiede is a panegyric of the Virgin Mary; the Klage der Kunst, an allegorical defence of poetry. Herzmaere is an story on the eaten heart. It tells of the relationship between a knight and married noblewoman who had a jealous husband. After the knight died during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land his squire attempted to deliver the knight's heart to his lover. The husband saw the squire before, ordered the heart to be prepared in a tasty manner and gave it to his wife, the lover of the knight. When she became aware of the whole story, she died.
His most ambitious works are two enormously long epics, Der trojanische Krieg (consisting of more than 40,000 verses, and unfinished) and Partenopier und Meliur, both of which are based on French originals. Würzburg's talents are best showcased however in his shorter verse romances, such as Engelhart und Engeltrut, Kaiser Otto and Das Herzemaere; the latter, the theme of which has been made familiar to modern readers by Uhland in his Kastellan von Coucy, is one of the best poems of its kind in Middle High German literature.
There is no complete collection available of Würzburg's works. Some examples are:
Der trojanische Krieg was edited by A von Keller for the Stuttgart Literarische Verein (1858)
Partonopier und Meliur, by K Bartsch (1871)
Die goldene Schniede and Silvester, by W Grimm (1840 and 1841)
Alexius, by HF Massmann (1843) and R Haczynski (1898)
Der Welt Lohn, by F Roth (1843)
Engelhart und Engeltrut, by Moritz Haupt (1844, 2nd ed., 1890)
Klage der Kunst, by E Joseph (1885).
The shorter poems, Otto and Herzemaere, can be found in Erzählungen und Schwänke des Mittelalters, edited by H Lambel (2nd ed., 1883). Later German translations of Würzburg's most popular poems were published by K Pannier and H Kruger in Reclams Universalbibliothek (1879-1891).
On Würzburg see F Pfeiffer in Germania, iii (1867), and W Goither in the Allgemeine deutsche Biographie, vol. 44 (1898), s.v. Würzburg, Konrad von.

The fundamental principles for the exercise of BDSM require that it be performed with the informed consent of all parties. Since the 1980s, many practitioners and organizations have adopted the motto safe, sane and consensual, commonly abbreviated SSC, which means that everything is based on safe activities, that all participants are of sufficiently sound mind in their conduct, and that all participants do consent. It is mutual consent that makes a clear legal and ethical distinction between BDSM and such crimes as sexual assault and domestic violence.
Some BDSM practitioners prefer a code of behavior that differs from SSC. Described as "risk-aware consensual kink" (RACK), this code shows a preference for a style in which the individual responsibility of the involved parties is emphasized more strongly, with each participant being responsible for his or her own well-being. Advocates of RACK argue that SSC can hamper discussion of risk because no activity is truly "safe", and that discussion of even low-risk possibilities is necessary for truly informed consent.
Still other BDSM practitioners prefer a code of behavior described as " Personal Responsibility, Informed, Consensual Kink " (PRICK). This code is considered the next evolution beyond RACK. It was developed in response to individuals within the community questioning if a person can truly consent if they are not informed about the potential risks involved with certain acts or behaviors. PRICK makes it clear that all practitioners should take personal responsibility for their kink. Informed means (or implies) that you understand what is about to happen - risks and all. The idea being that if you take personal responsibility for yourself and you're informed, now you can truly consent.
Likewise, Safe, Sane, Informed, Consensual, Kink (SSICK) incorporates all of the above, to preclude abuse and violation of another's well being. Safety and sanity are objective "reasonable person" standards under the circumstances of the participants and the Kink, which incorporate mutual responsibilities for both the foreseeable and unforeseeable consequences of the participant's choices and decisions. Being adequately informed is a subjective determination of one's self awareness, and another participant's awareness. Consent pertains to the continuous choice: to delegate authority for another to choose how to act in a particular manner; to accept a fiduciary duty in exercising delegated authority (placing another's interests above one's own interests); or, to otherwise interact within communicated boundaries and no more. A common misconceptions is that one can relinquish their personal power -- often called consensual non-consent, which merely equates to abuse. Every person always has the inherent and inalienable power to amend consent at any time, in relation to any BDSM interaction.

Legislative elections were held in Kazakhstan on 7 March 1994, alongside local elections. The People's Union of Kazakhstan Unity emerged as the largest party with 33 of the 177 seats, although 64 independents were also elected. Supporters of the President won a clear majority of seats, and around 60% of seats were won by ethnic Kazakhs. Following the elections, Sergey Tereshchenko was reappointed Prime Minister. Voter turnout was 73.5%.
Background
The elections were the first to the Supreme Kenges created by the 1993 constitution; elections for the former 360-seat Supreme Soviet had last taken place in March 1990, prior to independence in December 1991. The outgoing Supreme Soviet dissolved itself on 13 December 1993, five days after having set the election date.
Campaign
The President's People's Union of Kazakhstan Unity was challenged by several newly formed groups, especially the People's Congress of Kazakhstan. After a screening process, 754 candidates were approved to contest the 135 directly-elected seats. There were also 65 candidates for the 42 "state list" seats.
The campaign lasted two-months and was focussed on the economy; Nazarbayev committed to the free-market system and continuing reforms, particularly in the banking and tax spheres, in order to attract foreign investment.
Conduct
The elections were monitored by foreign observers, including the CSCE. The CSCE report called into question whether the elections had been free and fair.

The Japanese martial art judo has been practised in Yukon, Canada since at least 1950.
History
Judo was introduced to Canada in the early twentieth century by Japanese migrants, and the first dojo was established in Vancouver by Shigetaka Sasaki in 1924. It was initially limited to British Columbia, but spread throughout the country following the forced expulsion, internment, and resettlement of Japanese-Canadians after Japan entered the Second World War in 1941.
It is difficult to determine when judo was first introduced to Yukon, but it was taught to members of the Forest Girl Guards and Junior Forest Wardens as part of their physical education in 1950, and courses were offered at the Whitehorse Gymnasium in 1953. The first dedicated judo club was the Keno Hill Judo Club in Elsa, founded in 1960 by Laurie Wayman, who had earned his nidan (second dan) at the Budokwai in London, England, and received financial support from the Budokwai to purchase mats. It is likely that Wayman was an employee of United Keno Hill Mines Ltd., given that many club members were employees and Wayman's successor as instructor, Fred Thode, was a Project Engineer for the company. At its peak, the club had 100 members.
The Whitehorse Judo Club was established at the Takhini Recreation Centre by Mike Waddell for members of the armed forces who were stationed in the city. By 1961 George Takahashi, a student of Thode, was in charge of the club. Chuck MacKenzie, one of Takahashi's students, founded his own club at the Whitehorse Elementary School in 1964, and went on to be Yukon's most successful judoka: he won the 1963 Yukon Judo Championships in the junior heavyweight division, won two gold ulus at the 1972 Arctic Winter Games, and was the first judoka from the Yukon to compete in the Senior National Championships, with George Peary as his coach. MacKenzie was inducted into the Sport Yukon Hall of Fame in 1982.
The Yukon Kodokan Black Belt Association was established as the judo governing body for the territory in 1974, and was replaced by Judo Yukon in 1996.
Competition
The 1973 Canadian National Judo Championships were held in Whitehorse.

The Civil Society Leadership Institute (CSLI) is a not-for-profit training center founded in February 2007 as a civic education initiative of FIBRAS/Movimiento por Nicaragua—one of the largest pro-democracy movements in Central America. Its founding-director is Félix Maradiaga who is also a Young Global Leader (2009–2013) by the World Economic Forum and a Yale World Fellow (2008) by Yale University.
Its mission is twofold: to foster transformational leadership based on the ideas of liberty and democracy and to educate grassroots activists about the fundamentals and importance of non-violent social change.
To accomplish this mission, the Institute identifies recruits and trains grassroots democracy activists in Nicaragua. CSLI alumni embark upon a meaningful participation in the development of their communities.
CSLI signature academic programs—taught in conjunction with Universidad Americana based in Managua—help participants reflect on key concepts such as open society, adaptive leadership and the politics of non-violent action. In March 2007 CSLI became the first college-accredited leadership institute in Central America.

Superengine are an Indie/Pop band originating from Perth, Western Australia. They have performed with bands such as Angus and Julia Stone, Charles Jenkins (Icecream Hands), Dappled Cities Fly, The Panda Band, Schvendes, Faith in Plastics, the Autumn Isles and Institut Polaire.
History
Formation
Superengine descended from the Perth group 'Mister Tickle' (1996–2002).
Early years
From 2003 to 2005, Superengine had only a demo recording and live shows to showcase their talent. Even so, the demo was played substantially on local radio stations, especially RTRFM, amongst others. Superengine performed at RTRFM's 'In the Pines' event in 2005 to critical acclaim.
... A spin off of cutesy soul / funk / etc band Mr Tickle, Superengine are true to their past, but with a more Motown-flavoured addition to the already successful mix. Upbeat, major key funk is always going to have a 'party' vibe to it and to say how big the market is for this stuff in WA (Freo especially) Superengine's fanbase is already out there waiting for them.
Triangulation
The debut EP "Triangulation (Independent/MGM Distribution - recorded at Studio Couch and produced by Shaun O'Callaghan) was released in November 2005 to a healthy dose of local airplay in Perth, Western Australia, and a smattering of playings on Triple J and the east coast of Australia. Triangulation as an EP opened the door to many gigs and a new focus on releasing a full length album. It "features two remixes by Perth sound-smiths Chrism and Fenris".
Intermittent Lies
Released as a single in May 2007, "Intermittent Lies" received local and national airplay in Perth and Australia including RTRFM and Triple J. Zan Rowe's 'Morning's with Zan' on Triple J chose "Intermittent Lies" as the 'Catch of the Day'. "The western state keeps producing top notch pop, from the likes of The Panda Band and Institut Polaire (to name but two). New band on the scene Superengine have just released a great sunny single too, filled with harmony and light and a rollicking backbeat. "Intermittent Lies" is a good sign of things to come, and is my catch of the day today."
"Intermittent Lies" was added to Triple J rotation only two weeks after its release.
Shadows Meet
The product of nearly a year of studio time (November 2006 to July 2007) at Bold Park Recording studios in Leederville, Shadows Meet was released at the end of August 2007 through QStik Records with MGM Distribution. Shadows Meet is Superengine's first full-length album.
2008 Australia Tour
Superengine recently completed an Australian tour in early April 2008 - briefly visiting Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
