The Indigenous peoples of the Americas comprise numerous different cultures. Each has its own mythologies, many of which share certain themes across cultural boundaries. In North American mythologies, common themes include a close relation to nature and animals as well as belief in a Great Spirit that is conceived of in various ways. Northern America There is no single mythology of the Indigenous North American peoples, but numerous different canons of traditional narratives associated with religion, ethics and beliefs. Such stories are deeply based in Nature and are rich with the symbolism of seasons, weather, plants, animals, earth, water, fire, sky, and the heavenly bodies. Common elements are the principle of an all-embracing, universal and omniscient Great Spirit, a connection to the Earth and its landscapes, a belief in a parallel world in the sky (sometimes also underground and/or below the water), diverse creation narratives, visits to the 'land of the dead', and collective memories of ancient sacred ancestors. A characteristic of many of the myths is the close relationship between human beings and animals (including birds and reptiles). They often feature shape-shifting between animal and the human form. Marriage between people and different species (particularly bears) is a common theme. In some stories, animals foster human children. Although most Native North American myths are profound and serious, some use light-hearted humor – often in the form of tricksters – to entertain, as they subtly convey important spiritual and moral messages. The use of allegory is common, exploring issues ranging from love and friendship to domestic violence and mental illness. Some myths are connected to traditional religious rituals involving dance, music, songs, and trance (e.g. the sun dance). Most of the myths from this region were first transcribed by ethnologists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These sources were collected from Native American elders who still had strong connections to the traditions of their ancestors. They may be considered the most authentic surviving records of the ancient stories, and thus form the basis of the descriptions below. Northeast (Southeastern Canada and Northeastern US, including the Great Lakes) Myths from this region feature female deities, such as the creator, Big Turtle; and First Mother, from whose body grew the first corn and tobacco. The two great divine culture heroes are Glooskap and Manabus. Other stories explore the complex relationships between animals and human beings. Some myths were originally recited as verse narratives. Anishinaabe traditional beliefs - The Anishinaabeg peoples (Algonquin/Nipissing, Ojibwa/Chippewa/Saulteaux/Mississaugas, Odawa, Potawatomi and Oji-Cree) Ho-Chunk mythology - A North American tribe located in now eastern Wisconsin. Iroquois mythology - A confederacy of tribes located in the New York state area. Seneca mythology - A North American tribe located south of Lake Ontario. Wyandot religion - A North American tribe located around the northern shore of Lake Ontario. Great Plains Stories unique to the Great Plains feature buffalo, which provided the Plains peoples with food, clothing, housing and utensils. In some myths they are benign, in others fearsome and malevolent. The Sun is an important deity; other supernatural characters include Morning Star and the Thunderbirds. A common theme is the making of a journey, often to a supernatural place across the landscape or up to the parallel world in the sky. One of the most dominant trickster stories of the Plains is Old Man, about whom numerous humorous stories are told. The Old Man, known as Waziya, lived beneath the earth with his wife, and they had a daughter. Their daughter married the wind and had four sons: North, East, South, and West. The sun, moon and winds then ruled the universe together. An important supernatural hero is the Blood Clot Boy, transformed from a clot of blood. Ho-Chunk mythology Lakota mythology Pawnee mythology Southeastern US Important myths of this region deal with the origin of hunting and farming, and the origin of sickness and medicine. An important practice of this region was animism, the belief that all objects, places, and creatures have a soul. Most death, disease, or misfortune would be associated with the failure to put the soul of a slain animal to rest. When this happens, the animal could get vengeance through their "species chief". Large amounts of rare materials found with this regions dead suggest strong evidence that they believed in a sort of afterlife. It is thought that when a member of a tribe died, their soul would hover over their communities, trying to get their friends and relatives to join them, so their funeral ceremonies were not just to commemorate the dead, but to protect the living. The Green Corn ceremony, also known as Busk, was an annual celebration of a successful corn crop. Their fires were put out and rekindled, grudges are forgiven, and materials are thrown out or broken to then be replaced. It was essentially a renewing of life and community for these tribes. Cherokee Myth of Creation There was a time when there was no earth, and all creatures lived in a place above the sky called Galvlo’i. Everything below was only water, but when Galvlo’i got too crowded, the creatures decided to send down Water Beetle to see if he could find them a new place to live. He obliged and dove down into the water, all the way to the bottom of the sea, where he picked up a bit of mud and brought it to the surface. Once above the water, the mud spread out in all directions and became an island. The Great Spirit secured the island by attaching cords to it and tying it to the vault in the sky. Though the land was now stable, the ground was too soft for any of the animals to stand on, so they sent down Buzzard to scope it out. He flew around for some time until he could find a dry enough spot to land, and when he did the flapping of his wings caused the mud to shift. It went down in some places and up in others, creating the peaks, valleys, hills, and mountains of the earth. The rest of the creatures were now able to come down, but they soon realized it was very dark, so they invited the sun to come with them. Everyone was happy except Crawfish, who said his shell turned a bright red because the sun was too close, so they raised the sun seven different times until Crawfish was satisfied. The Great Spirit then created plants for this new land, after which he told the animals to stay awake for seven days. Only Owl was able to do so, and as a reward, the Great Spirit gave him the gift of sight in the dark. The plants tried as well, but only the pines, furs, holly, and a select few others were able to stay awake, so he gave them the gift of keeping their leaves year-round. Great Spirit then decided he wanted to have people live on this island, so he created one man and one woman. The pair did not yet know how to make children, so the man took a fish and pressed it against the woman's stomach, after which she gave birth. They did this for seven days until Great Spirit felt there was enough humans for the time being, and made it so a woman could only give birth once a year.

Caribbean US Taíno mythologyThis mythology and philosophy expresses the spiritual beliefs of the maritime Maipurean island settlers from the Amazon and/or Arawakan group of peoples. Their lineage and mythologies include having a creator deity as well as endless cyclical spontaneous birth. Immigrating from North East South America, their stories include gods and deity veneration as well as a view beyond that. Some of the philosophies include a concept of reality as illusion; and also that this world is a dream. Some petroglyphs on the islands include references interpreted to suggest galactic or alien life. Today's members of the community have established several views of mythology; some indicating ancestor veneration while others focus on deity and spirit veneration. The belief sets indicate the lineage rather than pointing to one absolute truth. A commonality between lineages includes honoring ancestors through cemi/zemi stones; spiritual homes of the lineage, as well as respecting sun and moon spirits. Weather spirits and spirits of the honored dead are also respectfully acknowledged. California and Great Basin Myths of this region are dominated by the sacred creator/trickster Coyote. Other significant characters include the Sun People, the Star Women and Darkness. A few of the most distinctive ceremonies of this region were their funeral customs and their commemoration of the dead. When a death occurred, the house in which it happened would be burnt down, and there would sometimes be bans on speaking the name of the dead. Widows would be smeared with pitch and their hair would be cut until the annual mourning releases them. This mourning came to be known as the "burning", the "cry", or the "dance of the dead". During these ceremonies, multiple properties are burned while the tribe dances, chants, and wails, in order to appease the ghosts. Another common ceremony is one that takes place when adolescents hit puberty. Girls go through a series of grueling tabus when her first period starts but is followed by a celebratory dance when it ends. Boys will undergo an official initiation into the tribe by participating in ceremonies that recount the tribes' mysteries and myths.

Southwest Myths of the Navajo, Apache, and Pueblo peoples tell how the first human beings emerged from an underworld to the Earth. According to the Hopi Pueblo people, the first beings were the Sun, two goddesses known as Hard Being Woman (Huruing Wuhti) and Spider Woman. It was the goddesses who created living creatures and human beings. Other themes include the origin of tobacco and corn, and horses; and a battle between summer and winter. Some stories describe parallel worlds in the sky and underwater. these peoples went on to kill each other due to Zuni tales. Multi-sensory experiences also are prominent in Ancestral Pueblo ceremonial rituals; for example, to evoke a paradisiacal realm, Chacoan people would perform sensorial ceremonies by use of exotic artifacts such as turquoise, shell, cacao, copper bells, and macaws.

Sacred tricksters here include Coyote and Fox. See also: Salish mythologya North American tribe or band in Montana, Idaho, Washington and British Columbia, Canada Arctic (coastal Alaska, northern Canada, and Greenland) The myths of this region are strongly set in the landscape of tundra, snow, and ice. Memorable stories feature the winds, the moon, and the giants. Some accounts say that Anguta is the supreme being, who created the Earth, sea and heavenly bodies. His daughter, Sedna created all living things – animals and plants. She is regarded also as the protecting divinity of the Inuit. Subarctic (inland northern Canada and Alaska) Here some myths reflect the extreme climate and the people's dependence on salmon as a major food resource. In imagination, the landscape is populated by both benign and malevolent giants. Northwest In this region, the dominant sacred trickster is Raven, who brought daylight to the world and appears in many other stories. Myths explore the people's relationship with the coast and the rivers along which they traditionally built their towns.

Aztecs The Aztecs, who predominantly inhabited modern-day central Mexico, had a complex system of beliefs based on deities who directly affected the lives of humans, including those who controlled rain, the rising Sun, and fertility. Voluntary human sacrifice was a central piece to the order of the universe and human survival. The Aztecs viewed people as servants and warriors of the gods, whom were not merciful or generous, but all-powerful beings that needed to be fed and appeased in order to avoid disaster and punishment. Thus, the concept of human sacrifice emerged. This practice was not new and had been used in other cultures such as the Mayans, but the Aztecs made this their main event, so to speak, in their ceremonies. These sacrifices were mainly to appease the sun god. Creation Myth According to the Aztecs, the creation of the earth started with a god called Ometeotl, otherwise known as the dual god, as they were made from the union of Tonacatecuhtli and Tonacacihuatl, whom the Aztecs believed were the lord and lady of their sustenance. Tonacatecuhtli and Tonacacihuatl had four children: Xipe Totec, which translates to "the flayed god" in Nahuatl, is associated with the color red. He is the god of the seasons and all things that grow on the earth. Tezcatlipoca, which translates to "smoking mirror", is associated with the color black. He is the god of the earth and the most powerful of the four children. Quetzalcoatl, which translates to "plumed serpent", is associated with the color white. He is the god of air. Finally, Huitzilopochtli, which translates to "hummingbird of the south", is associated with the color blue. He is the god of war. The four children decided they wanted to create a world with people to live in it. Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli made the first attempt, starting by making fire. This fire became the sun, but only half a sun, because it was not big or bright enough to light their entire world. They then made the first man and woman, which they called Cipactonal and Oxomoco respectively. Their many children were called macehuales, and were to be the farmers of the land. From there they created time, and then the underworld known as There are many stories of how the age of the fifth and final sun came to be. One story tells of how Tezcatlipoca took flint and used it to make fires to light the world again, before discussing with his brothers what should be done. They decided to make a new sun that feeds on the hearts and blood of humans. To feed it, they made four hundred men and five women. This is where the story goes into different directions. Some say that both Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc wanted their sons to become the new sun, so they each threw their sons into one of the fires created by Tezcatlipoca. Tlaloc waited for the fire to burn out before throwing his son into the embers, so his son became the moon. Quetzalcoatl elected to throw his son directly into the fiery blaze, so he became the fifth and final sun that we see in the sky today. Another story tells of the gathering of the gods at the ancient city of Teotihuacan, to discuss how to make a new sun. A god by the name of Nanahuatzin, god of disease, offered to throw himself into the fire and become the new sun. Being a weak and sickly god, the others thought he should not be the one to do it, and that a stronger and more powerful god should be the sun. Tecuciztecatl, a very wealthy god, stepped forward and said he would do it, but was not able to find the courage to jump into the flames. Nanahuatzin, with little hesitation, then threw himself into the fire. Seeing his bravery, Tecuciztecatl decided to jump in too. They were both transformed into suns, but the light was now too bright to see anything, so one of the other gods threw a rabbit at Tecuciztecatl, dimming his light and turning him into the moon. Nanahuatzin, now the new sun, was essentially reborn as Ollin Tonatiuh. The problem they now had was that he would not move from his position in the sky unless the other gods sacrificed their blood for him. So a god by the name of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, lord of dawn, threw a dart at Tonatiuh, but missed. Tonatiuh then threw one back at Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli, hitting him in the head and turning him into Itzlacoliuhqui, god of coldness, frost, and obsidian. Realizing that they could not refuse, the other gods offered their bare chests to him, and Quetzalcoatl cut out their hearts with a sacrificial knife. With the blood of the gods, Tonatiuh began to move across the sky in the same pattern that we see to this day. Quetzalcoatl took the clothing and ornaments of the sacrificed gods and wrapped them in bundles, which the people then worshipped.

Salbari is one of the sub divisions of Baksa district in the state of Assam, India. History A hundred years ago, there was no village named Salbari, but the place was surrounded by various sal plantations, leading to economic and population growth. There were some old villages like Hudukhata, Samuagati, Kamlabari and Hasora. After some years, people moved to the Salbari sub-division and villages like Salbari, Madhapur, Udhiaguri Hadan, Tangabarigaon, Aaohata, Palchiguri, Pakriguri, Uhiaguri and Gwjwnphuri were created. There was also no marketplace near Salbari, so residents went to a one-day market around 8.5 kilometres away at Bahbari Bazaar, but sometimes people of Salbari had disputes with the larger groups or local people. Therefore, the people of Salbari had the idea of creating a local marketplace and started the Salbari Bazaar. Salbari Bazaar now has SBI, several retailer, marketplaces, local shops and police stations. The market is held every Wednesday and Saturday where all local vendors come together to sell local products. How to reach By Road:The Salbari Bazar is located 120 km( 3 Hours) from Guwahati Airport, 135.9 Km (3.15 Hours) from Kokrajhar through NH-27 by car or bus By train: the nearest train station is Sorupeta(SPQ).

The Categoría Primera C is the third division tournament of football in Colombia, which is amateur in nature. It is organized by the División Aficionada del Fútbol Colombiano (Difútbol), an entity dependent on the Colombian Football Federation (FCF). Despite being called Primera C and being within the federative football system, it does not grant promotion to the professional Primera B, which is organized by the División Mayor del Fútbol Profesional Colombiano (Dimayor). According to a study made in 2020, Colombia was the only country in the top 20 of the FIFA ranking lacking a third tier football league linked to its league system. The current champion is Total Soccer from Medellín, who won the competition's 2022 edition. History Early years In 1990, Dimayor created the second division in Colombia, and at the same time the need for the new tournament to have relegation to a lower tier arose, making way for the creation of a third division league. In 1991 the Primera C began with the participation of amateur teams and affiliate or reserve squads of professional teams, proposed by Dimayor. In all editions, the teams were divided into regional groups, each region had its semifinal and final and at the end of each zone had a representative for a final stage, which was played in a single venue. The first champion of the competition was the reserves of Millonarios, after finishing first in the final stage, however for the first edition there was no promotion. In the event that a Dimayor affiliate club won the title, the winning team had to sell or transfer its berth in the second tier. This situation occurred in 1993, when the Unión Magdalena reserve team won the competition and was able to claim promotion by switching its license and creating the Deportivo Samarios club that played in the second tier in 1994. In 1996 and 1998, the América de Cali youth squads won the competition and in both cases América yielded its spot in Primera B, with Atlético Buenaventura being the team promoted to the second tier for 1997 and Palmira F.C. renting the berth to take part in Primera B in 1999. The Primera C was the starting place for teams that are currently competing in Primera A and Primera B such as Deportivo Pasto and La Equidad. The competition was played uninterruptedly and with high amounts of clubs ranging from 66 to 185. It is commonly stated that Chicó Fútbol Club was promoted to Primera B after winning the 2000 Primera C tournament, but actually Cortuluá, who owned a Primera B license they had previously bought from América de Cali, granted them their spot to compete in Primera B, replacing Unión Meta who had played in the 2000 Primera B with that license. The champion of the 2000 edition was actually El Cerrito F.C. The problems started in 1999, when representatives of the professional tiers started expressing their opposition to a professional team (affiliated to Dimayor) becoming an amateur team upon relegation to Primera C, while power struggles between Dimayor and Difútbol also began to rise. In 2001, with the tournament already weakened, the reserves of Independiente Medellín were the champions, and the solution regarding promotion was to hold a Primera B tournament mixed with a tournament for reserve teams of Primera A clubs for 2002. Starting from the following year, promotion and relegation between the second and third division ended. Nevertheless, Difútbol continued to organize the tournament until 2010, but without awarding promotion to the champion. There were several attempts to resume the third division but no agreement was reached with Dimayor. In 2014, after many unsuccessful attempts Difútbol created a under-23 tournament with 10 teams trying to emulate the third tier, but no agreement was reached with the professional branch of Colombian football. Possible return for 2020 and reversal After an extraordinary assembly of clubs of Dimayor held on 12 December 2017, the former president of the professional branch of Colombian football, Jorge Perdomo, stated that the Primera C could be resumed within two or three years, based on clubs from the U-20 Championship of the FCF and youth squads of the 36 clubs affiliated to Dimayor, with an investment of roughly four billion pesos. For the 2019 SuperCopa Juvenil FCF a promotion and relegation system would be established between the U-20 A and B categories, with the participation of 60 clubs in category A and relegation of the bottom 10 teams to category B and promotion of the top 10 teams of this category, in order to establish in the future the professional Primera C competition in 2020 with promotion to Categoría Primera B. All of the above was approved by Perdomo, but when Jorge Enrique Vélez was appointed as president of Dimayor in 2019, he ruled out the option to reactivate the third division due to the high costs it would present. Other proposals for reactivation Former footballer and lawyer Andrés Felipe Guapacha, who played for Deportivo Pereira, Deportes Quindío, Envigado, Deportivo Pasto and La Paz F.C. (Bolivia), led the creation of the Association of Colombian Amateur Football Clubs (ACCFA) in 2020 in order to promote the creation of a third tier competition as a semi-professional category and establish in the future promotion and relegation between Primera B and Primera C, as well as the creation of a fourth tier or "Primera D" and also a fifth tier, aiming at defending the participation rights of amateur clubs in Colombia. According to this proposal, by 2024 there would be a third division league with 84 amateur teams and 36 subsidiaries of professional teams; the fourth division, a under-22 league, would have 270 teams playing for 10 promotion spots to Primera C. The fifth division, which would be under-21, would be open to every team able to pay the registration fee which would play for 40 promotion berths. On the other hand, Jesús Alberto Ramírez, a highly experienced sports administrator, submitted to the Colombian Football Federation a proposal named Fútbol Naranja, planning to set up five tiers in the league pyramid and going up from 36 professional football clubs to 240, thus allowing the number of professional players to increase from 900 to over 12,000, all of this considering that out of Colombia's 1,125 municipalities, only 25 of them are currently represented by professional clubs. Another proposal, led by Daniel Pabón and Hernando Arias and presented to the Chamber of Representatives of Colombia, included the creation of three additional tiers in the country. The Primera C would function as a semi-professional category and would be made up by 24 teams, a Primera D with 80 teams and a "Primera E" organized by the 34 departmental leagues whose number of participants would range between 272 and 680 depending on the teams registered in each department. The requirements would include having a stadium seating 4,000 spectators for the third tier, 2,000 for the fourth one and 1,000 for the fifth one. Furthermore, it was proposed to award 10 spots to 10 municipalities "of footballing importance" without professional teams such as Quibdó, Tumaco, Sincelejo, Yopal, Popayán, Riohacha, Buenaventura, Apartadó, Mocoa and Florencia. Return in 2021 In 2021, Difútbol confirmed the return of the Categoría Primera C under the name Torneo Interclubes Primera C.

James Dietz (born 1946), also known as Jim Dietz, is a contemporary artist known for his history paintings, particularly of subjects from the First and Second World Wars. He has been a member of the World War I Aviation Historical Hall of Fame, served as a board member of the Automotive Fine Artists of America. He has received awards for his work from the American Society of Aviation Artists and other arts organizations. Early career Dietz was born in San Francisco, California. He graduated from the Art Center College of Design in 1969. Following his graduation, Dietz moved to Los Angeles to work as a commercial illustrator. His work ranged from "automobile ads, movie posters, and romantic and historical/action book covers". After working in New York, Dietz and his family moved to Seattle in 1978. At this time he started to specialize in aviation art. Major works Dietz's major works include Maximum Effort, a commission for the 449th Bomb Group Association who were veterans of the 15th Air Force, Arctic Convoy, Fall of the Falcon, Last Word, and Yanks Mount Up. His oil painting Bottom of the First, which depicts U.S. soldiers on duty in the Philippines during the Second World War, was the winner of Best in Show in CAE Simuflight's Horizons of Flight Art Exhibition in 2000. His works are exhibited in different military museum collections. Citizen Soldier and The Crossing, which depicts the 132nd Infantry Regiment at Guadalcanal, are currently on exhibit at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library. An exhibition of his work entitled Wood and Canvas: the WWI Aviation of James Dietz was on display at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum through January 2014. Influences Dietz's combat art has been influenced by notable combat artists of past periods, including Frederic Remington, Harvey Dunn, Howard Brodie, Kerr Eby, and Thomas C. Lea III. His World War II paintings echo paintings of the American Civil War in their classicality and acceptance of war's brutality. As Dietz phrased it, "I had shot off my mouth about how I could really do a job on World War I flying, so I had to produce something." He believed that the relatively small size of aircraft and their frail structures, would make them ideal for compositions focused on people. These characters had been very prominent in his World War I pieces, that he earned "a reputation as an aviation painter who did not paint airplanes". He made many details right, which included czarist ration boxes and Austrian engine fittings.

In Roman mythology, Fecunditas (Latin: "fecundity, fertility") was the goddess of fertility. She was portrayed as a matron, sometimes holding a cornucopia or a hasta pura, with children in her arms or standing next to her. Nero dedicated a temple at Rome to Fecunditas, on occasion of his daughter's birth in 63 AD. References Fertility goddesses Roman goddesses
Alexander Monro of Craiglockhart and Cockburn (22 May 1733 – 2 October 1817) was a Scottish anatomist, physician and medical educator. He is typically known as or Junior to distinguish him as the second of three generations of physicians of the same name. His students included the naval physician and abolitionist Thomas Trotter. Munro was from the distinguished Monro of Auchenbowie family. His major achievements included, describing the lymphatic system, providing the most detailed elucidation of the musculo-skeletal system to date and introducing clinical medicine into the curriculum. He is known for the Monro–Kellie doctrine on intracranial pressure, a hypothesis developed by Monro and his former pupil George Kellie, who worked as a surgeon in the port of Leith. Life Alexander Monro, the third and youngest son of Isabella Macdonald of Sleat, and Alexander Monro Primus was born at Edinburgh on 20 May 1733. He was sent with his brothers to Mr Mundell's school, where he learned the rudiments of Latin and Greek, and showed early evidences of great ability. Among his school-fellows were Ilay Campbell who was afterwards Lord President of the Court of Session and William Ramsay of Barnton, the banker. Monro's father decided to make him his successor and sent him to the University of Edinburgh when he was 12 years old, to attend the ordinary course of philosophy before beginning his professional training. He studied mathematics under Colin Maclaurin and ethics under Sir John Pringle. He was also a favourite of Matthew Stewart, Professor of Experimental Philosophy. He showed an interest for anatomy and after entering on the medical course, aged 18, he became a useful assistant to his father in the dissecting room. He attended the lectures of Drs Rutherford, Andrew Plummer, Alston and Sinclair. He possessed an insatiable thirst for medical knowledge, an uncommon share of perseverance, and a good memory. In the session of 1753–54, his father Alexander Monro Primus found his class too large for the lecture room and had to divide the class, repeating his lecture in the evening. This he found difficult, and he experimented with his son (Alexander Monro Secundus) taking the evening class. The results were satisfactory and so he presented a petition to the Town Council at the close of the session asking them to appoint his son formally as his successor. This petition was granted on 10 June and Alexander Monro secondus was admitted as conjunct professor on 11 July. Monro Secundus took his degree as Doctor of Medicine on 20 October 1755. He then proceeded to his studies abroad. He spent a short time in London, where he attended the lectures of William Hunter. He next visited Paris and on 17 September 1757 entered Leyden University where he formed a friendship with two famous anatomists, Bernhard Siegfried Albinus and Petrus Camper. However his foreign studies were prosecuted principally at Berlin, where he worked under the celebrated Professor Meckel, in whose house he lived. Alexander spent some time in Edinburgh during early 1757 in order to fill the place of his father, who was confined to the house by illness. He finally was admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh on 2 May 1758 and as a Fellow on 1 May 1759. He was to be elected President of the College in 1779. On 12 April 1782 Monro Secundus was one of the founding members of the Harveian Society of Edinburgh and served as President in 1785. In 1784 he was elected a member of the Aesculapian Club. Monro Primus delivered the opening anatomy and surgery lectures of the 1758–59 course and then handed the work to his son Alexander Monro Secundus. Monro Secundus, who in 1777 successfully resisted the appointment of a separate professor of surgery, gave a full course of lectures every year from 1759 to 1800. From 1800 to 1807, he delivered part of the course, his son Alexander Tertius completing it, and in 1808 gave the introductory lecture only. This was his last lecture, and after it his faculties gradually decayed. He became drowsy after dinner, and his nose used to bleed from time to time. In 1813, he had an apoplectic attack. In later life he was living at 30 St Andrew Square in the New Town. He died 2 October 1817. He is buried with his parents and wife, Katherine Inglis (died 1803) in Greyfriars Kirkyard in central Edinburgh. The grave lies west of the church and north of the Adam mausoleum. Publications In 1771, he wrote a paper on the effect of drugs on the nervous system. He published two controversial observations on the lymphatics in 1758, maintaining that hein De Venis Lymphaticis Valvulosis, a short essay printed at Berlin in 1758 and reprinted in 1761 and 1770had first correctly described the general communications of the lymphatic system. William Hunter disputed this vigorously before they both realized Francis Glisson had published on the topic a century before, to insufficient general notice. The German Friedrich Hoffmann is now sometimes credited for preceding all three. In 1783, he published in Edinburgh Observations on the Structure and Functions of the Nervous System, dedicated to the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, and it is in consequence of the description in this book of the communication between the lateral ventricles of the brain that his name is known to every student of medicine at the present day. The opening now always spoken of as the "foramen of Monro" is very small in the healthy brain, but when abnormal accumulation of CSF on the brain is present (known as hydrocephalus) may be as wide as 20 mm. It was this morbid condition that drew Monro's attention to the foramen, and he first described it in a paper read before the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh in 1764, but gives a fuller account in this work on the nervous system. A further important observation in this paper was that the healthy cranial cavity is rigid and of constant volume and, he argued, that since the brain "is nearly incompressible, the quantity of blood within the head must remain the same." This was taken up by his former student George Kellie who set out the hypothesis that the contents of the skull (blood, CSF, and brain tissue) are a state of volume equilibrium, so that any increase in volume of one of the cranial constituents must be compensated by a decrease in volume of another. This has since been validated and is known as the Monro–Kellie doctrine. He had always paid much attention to comparative anatomy, and published in 1785 The Structure and Physiology of Fishes Explained and Compared with Those of Man and Other Animals. In 1788, he published an account of seventy pairs of bursae under the title Description of all the Bursae Mucosse of the Human Body, their Structure, Accidents, and Diseases, and Operations for their Cure, which is stated by several anatomical writers to be the first full description of the bursae. In 1793, he published Experiments on the Nervous System with Opium and Metalline Substances, to Determine the Nature and Effects of Animal Electricity. These experiments led him to the conclusion that nerve force was not identical with electricity. His last book, Three Treatises on the Brain, the Eye, and the Ear, was published at Edinburgh in 1797. Manuscript copies of notes of his lectures on anatomy delivered in 1774 and 1775 are preserved in the library of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London, and some Essays and Heads of Lectures on Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Surgery, very imperfectly arranged, were printed by his son Alexander in 1840.

Kerr Eby (19 October 1889 – 18 November 1946) was a Canadian illustrator best known for his renderings of soldiers in combat in the First and Second World Wars. He is held in a similar regard to Harvey Dunn and the other famous illustrators dispatched by the government to cover the First World War. Early life and education Born in Tokyo, Japan to Canadian Methodist missionary parents in 1889, Eby received formal art training at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League of New York. Career Enlisting in the Army in 1917, Eby served in an ambulance crew and later as a camoufleur. Although unable to acquire an artist's commission to cover the war, he created many memorable and haunting images of soldiers both in combat and living their daily lives on the front. In the 1920s and 1930s, Eby continued to occasionally generate pieces related to his experience, and worked many of his early sketches into completed lithographs. These images were eventually collected and distributed in the book WAR, which remains in the collection of many libraries today. Notable images in this collection include a haunting drawing of marines retreating across the countryside beneath a menacing black cloud. In 1930, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member, and became a full Academician in 1934. He was also a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics. As the United States returned to war in 1941, Eby attempted to reenlist but was denied because of his age. He found service instead in the combat artists program created by Abbott Laboratories to cover the war. He operated primarily in the Pacific during World War II, where he landed with the Marines on Tarawa and Guadalcanal. He created many of his strongest works, and put his life on the line to capture the experiences he shared with those soldiers. Eby contracted a tropical disease while covering the war in Bougainville, and would die at his home in Westport, Connecticut in 1946. He left behind a great body of completed work and much that was still in progress. These drawings, prints, and paintings serve as both historical record and primary documentation of the American experience of war in the 20th century. Collections Eby's work is held in the permanent collections of many museums throughout the United States, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smart Museum of Art, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Worcester Art Museum, the Farnsworth Art Museum, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Hood Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Delaware Art Museum, and the Williams College Museum of Art.

Mush is a type of cornmeal pudding (or porridge) which is usually boiled in water or milk. It is often allowed to set, or gel into a semisolid, then cut into flat squares or rectangles, and pan fried. Usage is especially common in the eastern and southeastern United States. It is customary in the midwestern United States to eat it with maple syrup or molasses. In Eastern Europe, milk is poured over the meal once served and cooled down, rather than being boiled in it. Cornmeal mush is often consumed in Latin America and Africa.

The United East Conference (UEC), formerly known as the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC), is an intercollegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA's Division III. Member institutions are located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. History The North Eastern Athletic Conference was founded in 2004. The original membership consisted of the following schools: Baptist Bible College (now known as Clarks Summit University), Bard College, Philadelphia Biblical University (now known as Cairn University), Cazenovia College, Chestnut Hill College, D'Youville College, Keuka College, Keystone College, Penn State-Berks, Polytechnic University (later known as the Polytechnic Institute of New York University and now fully merged into NYU as its Tandon School of Engineering), State University of New York at Purchase (SUNY Purchase), and Villa Julie College (now known as Stevenson University). At the conclusion of the 2006–07 season, the NEAC had a shifting of membership losing five institutions and gaining three new members. The departing members were: Bard, Chestnut Hill, Polytechnic (N.Y.), SUNY Purchase, and Stevenson; while the new members were: Penn State-Harrisburg, Wells College, and Wilson College (Pa.). The NEAC consisted of 10 members, effective the 2007–08 season. At the conclusion of the 2007–08 season, the NEAC lost an additional three institutions while gaining two new members. The departing members were: Baptist Bible, Cairn, and Keystone (all to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, currently named the Colonial States Athletic Conference). The new members were State University of New York at Cobleskill (SUNY Cobleskill) and State University of New York Institute of Technology (SUNYIT); the latter is now known as SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly). The NEAC consisted of bringing the total to nine members, effective the 2008–09 season. The NEAC accepted four associate member institutions for the 2008–09 season; they were: Medaille College (for men's and women's lacrosse), Rutgers University–Camden (for men's golf), State University of New York at Oneonta (for men's tennis), and the University of Dallas (in men's soccer, men's golf, men's & women's cross country, and men's & women's basketball). The University of Dallas also competed in women's volleyball to the NEAC in the 2009–10 season. At the conclusion of the 2008–09 season, the NEAC lost an additional founding member in D'Youville. In the 2009–10 season, the NEAC welcomed three additional new members in the College of Saint Elizabeth, Penn State-Abington, and State University of New York at Morrisville (SUNY Morrisville). The NEAC had accepted four associate member institutions in that same season. Additionally, the NEAC also began a three year partnership with the North Atlantic Conference in four sports: baseball; women's lacrosse; and men's and women's tennis. Departing the NEAC at the conclusion of the 2009–10 season were associate members the University of Dallas and SUNY Oneonta. In the 2010–11 season, the NEAC welcomed by Gallaudet University. In the 2011–12 season, the NEAC gained one new full member in Lancaster Bible College while Rutgers–Camden (already an associate member in men's golf) joined the NEAC in men's tennis. The partnership between the NEAC and the NAC ended for baseball and women's lacrosse following the 2011–12 season. At the conclusion of the 2012–13 season, the NEAC lost one full member in Penn State Harrisburg. In the 2013–14 season, the NEAC added Cedar Crest College as an associate member for women's swimming. Beginning in the 2014–15 season, the NEAC accepted two new full members in Bryn Athyn College and Pennsylvania College of Technology. Also in that same season, Wilson College, a former women's college that became co-educational in the 2013–14 school year, began a men's athletic program, and four other schools became men's volleyball associates. Changes in the NEAC membership have continued to the present. On August 30, 2017, Bryn Athyn and Wilson announced that they would leave the NEAC for the Colonial States Athletic Conference effective with the 2018–19 school year. The next change of membership came in 2019–20 with the return of Penn State Harrisburg and the departure of Saint Elizabeth for the Colonial States Athletic Conference. In July 2020, the NEAC lost four members, with Keuka departing for the Empire 8 Conference and Cazenovia, SUNY Cobleskill, and SUNY Poly leaving for the North Atlantic Conference. The NEAC membership will return to 9 in 2021 with the arrival of St. Mary's College of Maryland. On August 2, 2021, the conference revealed that they were rebranding themselves as the United East Conference. The conference said that the name “United East” was chosen because it describes the conference’s commitment to collaborate on a shared mission in a diverse environment while also still giving a nod to the geographical placement of the member schools. On March 1, 2022, SUNY Morrisville announced that it will leave the United East to join the North Atlantic Conference starting in the 2023–24 academic year. On July 6, 2022, the United East Conference announced that Clark Summit joined the conference as an associate member in men's golf and men's tennis starting in the 2022–23 academic year. On August 15, 2022, Wells announced that it will leave the United East to join the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference starting in the 2023–24 academic year. On December 19, 2022, the United East Conference and the Colonial States Athletic Conference announced their intent to merge beginning with the 2023-24 academic year. The merger is intended to address the evolving landscape of higher education by stabilizing conference membership and solidifying the sport sponsorship currently offered by the existing conferences. This merger will also provide member institutions an opportunity to decrease the number of associate memberships necessary to support the current sport offerings on each respective campus. When the merger is finalized sports with a large number of members will compete in north and south divisions. On June 23, 2023, the CSAC and United East officially announced that the merged conference will retain the United East name, officially ending the CSAC on July 1, 2023. Consequently, all ten members from the CSAC (Bryn Athyn College, Cairn University, Cedar Crest College, Clarks Summit University, Keystone College, Notre Dame of Maryland University, Rosemont College, Saint Elizabeth University, the University of Valley Forge and Wilson College of Pennsylvania) joined the United East.

Adrian von Bubenberg (born c. 1424 in Bern; died August 1479 in Bern) was a Bernese knight, military commander and mayor (Schultheiss) of Bern in 1468-1469, 1473-1474 and 1477-1479. In Switzerland, he is remembered as the hero of the 1476 Battle of Murten. Life Adrian von Bubenberg was born as the son of Heinrich IV. von Bubenberg, Schultheiss of Bern and lord of Spiez, whom he succeeded in 1465. During a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1466, he was dubbed a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre, and inscribed his name and emblem on the wall of David's Tomb. Numerous times before and after the Burgundy wars, he led Bernese negotiations with other cantons of the old Swiss Confederacy and foreign powers including Savoy, Burgundy, France and the Holy Roman Empire. But his heroic stature in Swiss history is due to his tenacious defense during the siege of Murten. He had been appointed commander of the city garrison in April 1476. The city was besieged during twelve days in June by the troops of Charles, Duke of Burgundy, and Bubenberg managed to hold until he was relieved by confederate forces on 22 June, leading to the decisive defeat of Charles. Legacy Von Bubenberg was buried in the choir of the Berner Münster, the Cathedral of Bern. Ever having been short of funds in spite of being the head of Berne's preeminent noble house, von Bubenberg was posthumously banned for his debts in 1481, but the government resisted Pope Sixtus IV's demand that he be exhumed and dishonourably buried because of this. Bubenberg's deeds figure already in the near-contemporary illustrated chronicles by Diebold Schilling the Elder. Later, he became an icon in Romantic nationalism, portrayed in literature as the ideal of knightly virtue and of patriotism, notably in the novel Ring i der Chetti by Rudolf von Tavel (1931). In 1897, Bern honoured Bubenberg with a bronze statue on Christoffelplatz, which was renamed to Bubenbergplatz on the occasion. The design for the statue triggered a dispute on whether it was proper to show Bubenberg on foot rather than as a knight in an equestrian statue. The statue was moved to the nearby Hirschengraben in 1930 to make room for tramway infrastructure; plans to move the statue triggered controversial debate in Bernese newspapers in early 1930, but the plan found popular support in a vote of 6 April, the statue was removed on 24 April and erected at its current location on 19 May.

The following is a list of marsupials which have been taxonomically described in the 2000s. Species of the infraclass Marsupialia of mammals discovered and described in the 2000s. New species list Arfak pygmy bandicoot — Microperoryctes aplini (2004). Mountain brushtail possum — Trichosurus cunninghami (2002). Short-eared possum — Trichosurus caninus (2002). Red-bellied gracile opossum Cryptonanus ignitus (2002). Taxonomy In 2002 it was discovered that the originally named mountain brush-tailed possum of Australia actually consists of two separate species. Due to taxonomic rules, the northern population has been renamed with the common name short-eared possum but will keep the scientific name Trichosurus caninus, while the southern population has been named with the common and scientific names mountain brush-tailed possum (Trichosurus cunninghami). This is because the original type specimen of the species was from the northern population, and therefore must keep the original scientific name.

Wyatt C. Whitley (October 17, 1900 – November 5, 1982) was an American chemist, professor of chemistry and a former director of the Engineering Experiment Station at the Georgia Institute of Technology (now known as the Georgia Tech Research Institute) from 1963 until 1968. Education Whitley received a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Wake Forest College in 1929. He received a Master of Science in Chemistry from the Georgia School of Technology in 1934, and attended the University of Wisconsin for his PhD. Career As a graduate student at Georgia Tech, Whitley began working as a chemistry instructor. After receiving his PhD at the University of Wisconsin, he returned to Georgia Tech where he was named a full professor of chemistry in 1944. His association with the Engineering Experiment Station (now known as the Georgia Tech Research Institute) began in 1955 as chief of the chemical sciences division. He was later raised to the position of associate director and, upon the assignment of Station director Robert E. Stiemke to the post of Administrator of Research in the office of the Dean of Faculties, became the Station's director in 1963. During his tenure as director, the level of research activity increased from $4 million to $7 million and the number of full-time staff increased by 33 percent. In 1966, the completion of the Electronics Research Building allowed a large number of the Engineering Experiment Station's research activities to come together under one roof, after being housed in more than a dozen temporary locations. Additionally, the construction of the Baker Building (currently home to the GTRI Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory) was well underway when Whitley retired in 1968.

Brandon Logan Bender (born February 5, 1987) is an Italian-American mixed martial artist who competes in the Bantamweight and Featherweight divisions. A professional MMA competitor since 2006, Bender has fought in multiple promotions, including King of the Cage and Bellator Fighting Championships Mixed martial arts career FRUIT Bender has trained in various martial arts. He began training in Tae Kwon Do from the age of seven. Bender also wrestled in high school and later, achieved a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. As of 2012, Bender trains at Aguirre Fighting Systems and Millennia MMA, alongside the likes of Charlie Valencia, Georgi Karakhanyan and Darrell Montague. Bender also spends time working at the UFC gym. Early career Bender began his professional career in the King of the Cage promotion in August 2006, claiming a unanimous decision victory after two rounds. He followed this up with a further win in December 2007, which was via triangle choke. Bender then joined the U.S. Navy Reserves, temporarily postponing his MMA career. Soon after, Bender changed his mind and wanted to return to MMA. He returned in March 2009 and won his next five fights via first round submission. In March 2011, Bender then signed with Bellator Fighting Championships to face Josh Herrick at Bellator 35. Bender was taken down early on in the fight, but was able to stand back up and land a takedown of his own. Bender was able to secure a guillotine choke at 3:42 of the first round. In February 2012, Bender fought Marlin Weiker at SCC 4. Throughout the fight, Bender attempted several guillotine chokes and other submission techniques, but was unable to finish the fight with any of them. After multiple attempts, Bender seemed to fatigue and appeared to be trailing on the scorecards according to some in attendance. Midway through the final round, however, Bender was finally able to complete a submission attempt, as he caught Weiker in a triangle choke. In late-2011/early-2012, Bender started to gain more attention, as he was regarded as a promising prospect in the Featherweight division. He was named the #3 prospect in the division by Bloody Elbow and was featured on Sherdog.com's prospect watch feature. Despite this, in mid-2012, Bender announced plans to drop to the Bantamweight division. He signed with Tachi Palace Fights to fight at TPF 14 at bantamweight against Rolando Velasco. However, for unknown reasons, the bout never took place.

General James M. Gavin Power Plant is a 2,600-megawatt supercritical coal-fired power station in the village of Cheshire, Ohio, United States. It is owned by Lightstone Generation LLC, a 50–50 joint venture of The Blackstone Group L.P. and ArcLight Capital Partners. Gavin is the largest coal-fired power facility in Ohio, and one of the largest in the US, capable of powering two million homes. In February 2017, the plant represented slightly more than 11% of the total electric generation capacity in Ohio according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The plant was named in honor of James Maurice "Jumpin' Jim" Gavin, the third Commanding General (CG) of the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. History Gavin's two units, rated at 1,300 MW each, were placed into service in 1974 and 1975. The power plant is connected to the electric transmission grid by 765-kilovolt transmission lines. In 2002, to avoid lawsuits relating to air pollution in the village of Cheshire, the American Electric Power (AEP) corporation decided to buy out the town, by paying every homeowner 3.5 times the market value of their home to move. The total deal came to around $20 million. AEP sold Gavin along with three other plants to Blackstone and ArcLight as a part of a $2.17 billion deal in 2016. The power plant has been using unlined pits to store its fly ash, which could contaminate groundwater. The facility's owners applied for a permit from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to continue operating and using the unlined pits. In November 2022, the EPA ordered the utility to stop dumping coal ash into unlined storage ponds and speed cleanup of the site. The plant may have to pause or even cease operations in order to comply with the order. The order becomes effective 135 days after publication in the Federal Register. If additional time is needed, the order included a process to address demonstrated grid reliability issues. Operations Gavin is equipped with a suite of air quality controls. These include selective catalytic reduction units that reduce nitrogen oxide () emissions by 82%; flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) units (scrubbers) that remove 94% of sulfur dioxide () emissions and electrostatic precipitators for particulate control. Together the controls reduce mercury emissions by up to 91% and particulates by 99%. The plant contributes approximately $6 million a year in property taxes that support the Gallia County school system and government. The plant is Gallia County's largest taxpayer and makes annual contributions of more than $50,000 to local charities and non-profits.

Biosocial criminology is an interdisciplinary field that aims to explain crime and antisocial behavior by exploring biocultural factors. While contemporary criminology has been dominated by sociological theories, biosocial criminology also recognizes the potential contributions of fields such as behavioral genetics, neuropsychology, and evolutionary psychology. Approaches Environment Environment has a significant effect on genetic expression. Disadvantaged environments enhance antisocial gene expression, suppress prosocial gene action and prevent the realization of genetic potential. Behavioral genetics One approach to studying the role of genetics for crime is to calculate the heritability coefficient, which describes the proportion of the variance that is due to actualized genetic effects for some trait in a given population in a specific environment at a specific time. According to Kevin Beaver and Anthony Walsh, the heritability coefficient for antisocial behavior is estimated to be between 0.40 and 0.58. The methodology often used in biosocial criminology (that of twin studies) has been criticized for producing inflated heritability estimates, though biosocial criminologists maintain that these criticisms are baseless. Criminal justice researchers Brian Boutwell and J.C. Barnes argue that many sociological studies that do not control for genetic inheritance of risk factors have misleading or unreliable results. Neurophysiology Another approach is to examine the relationship between neurophysiology and criminality. One example is that measured levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine have been associated with criminal behavior. Another is that neuroimaging studies give strong evidence that both brain structure and function are involved in criminal behaviors. The limbic system creates emotions such as anger and jealousy that ultimately may cause criminal behavior. The prefrontal cortex is involved in delaying gratification and impulse control and moderates the impulses from the limbic system. If this balance is shifted in favor of the limbic system this may contribute to criminal behavior. Terrie Moffitt's developmental theory of crime argues that "life-course-persistent offenders" make up only 6% of the population but commits more than 50% of all crimes and that this is due to a combination neurophysiological deficits and an adverse environment that creates a criminal path that is very difficult to break once started. Evolutionary psychology Men can potentially have many children with little effort; women only a few with great effort. One argued consequence of this is that males are more aggressive, and more violently aggressive, than females, since they face higher reproductive competition from their own sex than females. In particular, low-status males may be more likely to remain completely childless. Under such circumstances, it may have been evolutionarily useful to take very high risks and use violent aggression in order to try to increase status and reproductive success rather than become genetically extinct. This may explain why males have higher crime rates than females and why low status and being unmarried is associated with criminality. It may also explain why the degree of income inequality of a society is a better predictor than the absolute income level of the society for male-male homicides; income inequality creates social disparity, while differing average income levels may not do so. Furthermore, competition over females is argued to have been particularly intensive in late adolescence and young adulthood, which is theorized to explain why crime rates are particularly high during this period. The "evolutionary neuroandrogenic theory" focuses on the hormone testosterone as a factor influencing aggression and criminality and being beneficial during certain forms of competition. In most species, males are more aggressive than females. Castration of males usually has a pacifying effect on aggressive behavior in males. In humans, males engage in crime and especially violent crime more than females. The involvement in crime usually rises in the early teens to mid teens in correlation with the rise of testosterone levels. Research on the relationship between testosterone and aggression is difficult since the only reliable measurement of brain testosterone is by lumbar puncture, which is not done for research purposes. Studies therefore have often instead used less reliable measurements from blood or saliva. Some studies support a link between adult criminality and testosterone, although the relationship is modest if examined separately for each sex. A significant link between juvenile delinquency and testosterone levels has not been established. Some studies have also found testosterone to be associated with behaviors or personality traits linked with criminality such as antisocial behavior and alcoholism. Many studies have also been done on the relationship between more general aggressive behavior/feelings and testosterone. About half the studies have found a relationship and about half no relationship. Many conflicts causing homicides involve status conflicts, protecting reputation, and seemingly trivial insults. Steven Pinker in his book The Blank Slate argues that in non-state societies without a police it was very important to have a credible deterrence against aggression. Therefore, it was important to have a reputation for retaliation, causing humans to develop instincts for revenge as well as for protecting reputation ("honor"). Pinker argues that the development of the state and the police have dramatically reduced the level of violence compared to the ancestral environment. Whenever the state breaks down, which can be very locally such as in poor areas of a city, humans again organize in groups for protection and aggression and concepts such as violent revenge and protecting honor again become extremely important. Some cultures place greater emphasis on protecting honor than other cultures. One explanation is that protecting honor was in the ancestral past relatively more important for herders than for farmers. The livestock of herders were easily and quickly stolen. As a result, it was important to constantly show toughness as a deterrence, which may cause a higher level of violence. The predictions of the theory was confirmed in a cross-cultural examination of traditional farming and herding Spanish-American societies. However, the prediction that sedentary fishing societies would place a low emphasis on honor was not confirmed. The degree of cultural collectivism is strongly associated with the burden of infectious disease. It has been argued that this is due to collectivism and associated characteristics such as out-group avoidance limiting the spread of infectious diseases. Other characteristics such as strong in-group–out-group bias and willingness to defend the ingroup's honor may promote violence. A study found strong associations between several forms of violent criminal behavior and both infectious disease rates across U.S states and degree of cultural collectivism across U.S. states. The associations remained strong after controlling for income inequality. Specific forms Evolutionary psychology researchers have proposed several evolutionary explanations for psychopathy. One is that psychopathy represents a frequency-dependent, socially parasitic strategy. This may benefit the psychopath as long as there are few other psychopaths in the community since more psychopaths means increasing the risk of encountering another psychopath as well as non-psychopaths likely adapting more countermeasures against cheaters. Sociobiological theories of rape are theories that explore to what degree, if any, evolutionary adaptations influence the psychology of rapists. Such theories are highly controversial, as traditional theories typically do not consider rape to be a behavioral adaptation. Some object to such theories on ethical, religious, political, as well as scientific grounds. Others argue that a correct knowledge of the causes of rape is necessary in order to develop effective preventive measures. The Cinderella effect is the alleged higher rate of stepchildren being abused by stepparents as compared to genetic parents, observed in some, but not all, studies. An explanation of this affect has been attempted by application of evolutionary psychology theories. There have also been various criticisms of these theories. Infanticide is one of the few forms of violence more often done by women than men. Cross-cultural research has found that this is more likely to occur when the child has deformities or illnesses as well as when there are lacking resources due to factors such as poverty, other children requiring resources, and no male support. Such a child may have a low chance of reproductive success, in which case it would decrease the mother's inclusive fitness to spend resources on the child, in particular since women generally have a greater parental investment than men. Criminal justice Punishment of exploitative behaviors harmful to the group was likely a recurring problem in the ancestral environment. As such humans are argued to have developed a range of psychological mechanisms for handling this. Punishment can be a deterrent to undesired behaviors but excessive punishment can also be harmful to the group. Thus, humans are argued to favor a proportional response based on how severe the offence is. Cross-cultural research have a found a high agreement regarding how relatively harmful different crimes are perceived to be. On the other hand, evolutionary novel factors that may be rational to consider from a deterrent perspective, such as how difficult it is for the modern police to detect the crime, do not seem to affect people's perceptions of appropriate punishments. Once a crime's severity has been judged, there is a choice regarding how to respond. In some cases in the ancestral environment there may have been benefits from future interactions with the offender which some forms of punishment may have prevented as compared to responses such as reparations or rehabilitation. Research suggests that individuals may modify what they think are appropriate forms of response to offenders based on factors that once in the past small-group environment may have indicated that they could personally benefit from continued interactions with the offender such as kinship, in-group or out-group membership, possession of resources, sexual attractiveness, expressed remorse, intentionality, and prior history of cooperation and exploitation.

John Montagu, 2nd Duke of Montagu, (1690 – 5 July 1749), styled Viscount Monthermer until 1705 and Marquess of Monthermer between 1705 and 1709, was a British peer. Life Montagu was an owner of a coal mine. Montagu went on the grand tour with Pierre Sylvestre. On 17 March 1705, John was married to Lady Mary Churchill, daughter of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, and Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. On 23 October 1717, Montagu was admitted a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1719, and was made Order of the Bath, a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1725, and a Grand Master of the Premier Grand Lodge of England which was the first Masonic Grand Lodge to be created. On 22 June 1722, George I appointed Montagu governor of the islands of Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent in the West Indies. He in turn appointed Nathaniel Uring, a merchant sea captain and adventurer, as deputy-governor. Uring went to the islands with a group of seven ships, and established settlement at Petit Carenage. Unable to get enough support from British warships, he and the new colonists were quickly run off by the French. In 1739, the country's first home for abandoned children, the Foundling Hospital was created in London. Montagu was a supporter of this effort and was one of the charity's founding governors. He also financed the education of two notable Black British figures of the age, Ignatius Sancho (a butler at his Blackheath home, Montagu House) and Francis Williams, allegedly sending the latter to Cambridge University (the university has no record of his having studied there). In 1745, Montagu raised a cavalry regiment known as Montagu's Carabineers, which, however, was disbanded after the Battle of Culloden. Montagu was a notorious practical joker, his mother-in-law writing of him that "All his talents lie in things only natural in boys of fifteen years old, and he is about two and fifty; to get people into his garden and wet them with squirts, and to invite people to his country houses and put things in beds to make them itch, and twenty such pretty fancies as these." Montagu is said to have once dunked the political philosopher Montesquieu in a tub of cold water as a joke. Montagu also commissioned William Hogarth to portray Chief Justice John Willes unflatteringly in a number of cartoons series Before and After (Hogarth) in which lusty amoral rakes seduce women. Montagu's country place, Boughton House, Northamptonshire, was laid out by him as a miniature Versailles, and now belonging to the Buccleuch family. After his death, his town residence, Montagu House, Bloomsbury, on the present site of the British Museum, received and for many years held the national collections, which under the name of the British Museum were first opened to the public in 1759. Children Montagu and his wife, Lady Mary Churchill, were parents to five children: Lady Isabella Montagu (c. 1706 – 20 December 1786). Married first William Montagu, 2nd Duke of Manchester (no issue), and second Edward Hussey-Montagu, 1st Earl of Beaulieu (had issue). John (1706–1711) George (died in infancy) Lady Mary Montagu (c. 1711/1712 – 1 May 1775). Married George Brudenell, 4th Earl of Cardigan (had issue). Edward (27 December 1725 – May 1727) Succession As none of Montagu's sons survived him, his titles became extinct upon his death in 1749. His estates were inherited by his daughter Mary, whose husband, George Brudenell, 4th Earl of Cardigan assumed the name and arms of Montagu, and in 1766 was created 1st Duke of Montagu (second creation). In 1790 this second creation dukedom of Montagu also became extinct; his only son (who had been created Baron Montagu of Boughton) having predeceased him. His daughter Elizabeth married Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch, 5th Duke of Queensberry who thus acquired all the unentailed property of the Dukes of Montagu.

LGBT art in Singapore, or queer art in Singapore, broadly refers to modern and contemporary visual art practices that draw on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender+ imagery and themes, addressing topics such as LGBT rights, history and culture in Singapore. Such queer art practices are often by Singaporean or Singapore-based visual artists and curators who identify as LGBT+ or queer. Queer visual art is a notable countercultural facet of contemporary Singaporean society, which currently criminalises, albeit unenforced, consensual, private sexual acts between men (legal for women) through the continued presence of laws such as Section 377A of the Penal Code. As homosexuality has been considered a taboo subject, practitioners in Singapore have historically contended with a host of limitations, with the avoidance of positive queer representation in local mainstream media, to operating with the risk of being blacklisted by the state, or vilification due to homophobia and transphobia from conservative aspects of wider Singaporean society. Ever since the early 2010s however, LGBT+ topics have been gradually liberalised, with regular discussions about such topics in the public sphere and local mainstream media. This was also in tandem with the rise of Pink Dot SG, which has now also influenced such events in many countries around the world. In Singapore's contemporary art history, openly out queer artists whose art practices engage with notions of queerness have been documented since the 1980s. Queer art practices from Singapore have also been exhibited internationally, more often beyond the specific curatorial framework of a queer art exhibition. These art practices are loosely connected, and not determined by a specific medium, spanning wide-ranging forms such as performance art, installation art, video art, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, film, and mixed media, for instance. Regulations Practitioners of LGBT+ visual arts have to contend with various restrictions imposed by Singaporean law. Alongside Section 377A of the Penal Code, which de jure but not de facto criminalises consensual, private sexual acts between men, strict censorship laws remain in place regarding LGBT+ representation in Singapore, among other sensitive topics. At the end of May 2005, in an amendment to the Public Entertainment and Meetings Act (Chapter 257), nine categories of arts entertainment events including "displays or exhibitions of art objects or paintings" were exempted from having to apply for a Public Entertainment Licence from the Media Development Authority (MDA). The decision was made after consultation with MDA's arts advisory groups, following the recommendations of the 2003 Censorship Review Committee appointed by the Government arts watchdog of the time, the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MITA) to exempt more arts entertainment from licensing. The 2005 exhibition at The Substation, Bao Bei, by Singaporean artist Jason Wee, which featured pixelated male genitalia, was mentioned in the press release and deemed to be "innocuous" by the state. History Early contemporary activity (1980s to 1990s) From the 1980s to 1990s, artists such as Jimmy Ong, Teng Nee Cheong, and Ho Soon Yeen were notable for being some of the few openly queer artists of the time, or whose practices engaged with notions of queerness in Singapore. Ong's work from the 1980s, for instance, would feature black-and-white charcoal drawings that depicted nude, queer male bodies in various contexts and relationships. Around the same period in the 1980s, Teng would be known for figurative works across watercolour, pastel, charcoal and oil, with sensual and homoerotic depictions of male nudes. In 1992, as part of The Substation's New Criteria exhibition series, Ho would exhibit alongside artist Dominique Hui for We Kissed, a show that would explore notions of sexuality through drawings, collages, and three-dimensional works. One of her paintings on display was a self-portrait, titled Monkey & Thinker, now in the collection of NUS Museum and shown at their 2017 exhibition, Radio Malaya: Abridged Conversations About Art. From 20 to 28 February 1993, Singapore artist Tan Peng and US artist, John C. Goss held an exhibition entitled Flowing Forest, Burning Hearts at The Substation gallery, and Tan notably came out publicly in mainstream press as a gay man. Tan's large pastel drawings tackled topics such as HIV caregiving and police entrapment. Brother Cane (1994) From 26 December 1993 to 1 January 1994, the Artists' General Assembly (AGA) was held at the 5th Passage art space, an arts festival co-organised with The Artists Village. During the 12-hour AGA New Year's Eve show from 31 December 1993 to 1 January 1994, Josef Ng staged a performance work, Brother Cane, in protest at the arrest of 12 homosexual men during anti-gay operations in 1993, whose personal details were published in local mainstream newspapers. During the final minutes of the performance, Ng turned his back to the audience and trimmed his pubic hair, a moment photographed by The New Paper. Media coverage of the performance portrayed this as an obscene act. Following the public outcry, 5th Passage was charged with breaching the conditions of its Public Entertainment License, blacklisted from funding by Singapore's National Arts Council, and evicted from its Parkway Parade site. Iris Tan, as the gallery manager of the 5th Passage art space, was prosecuted by the Singapore High Court alongside Ng. Described as one of the "darkest moments of Singapore’s contemporary art scene", the incident led to a ten-year no-funding rule for performance art, a ruling lifted only in 2003. Activity in the 2000s In August 2004, three LGBT+ art exhibitions were held at local galleries as part of the cultural activities surrounding Nation.04, an early LGBT+ pride event in Singapore, featuring the work of queer artists both locally and regionally. Red + White = Pink was held at Utterly Art, with participating artists including Genevieve Chua, Tania De Rozario, Jane Porter, Aidah Dolrahim, Teng Nee Cheong, Martin Loh, Desmond Sim, Ernest Chan Tuck Yew, Justin Lee, Michael Lee Hong Hwee, Han Kiang Siew, Zulharli Adnan, Brian Gothong Tan, Lim Jit Hwang, Sazeli Jalal, Jason Wee, Daniel Poh, Wong Hong Weng, Nicholas Chai and Aiman Hakim. Other exhibitions included Erotica at Art Seasons and Private Edge at B2G Gallery. In May 2005, New York-based Singaporean artist Jason Wee held an exhibition at The Substation gallery titled Bao Bei, which examined the ways through which identity was constructed in gay online personal ads, also using online self-portraits to recreate a scene from the late Singaporean playwright Kuo Pao Kun's Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral. At the prestigious 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009, Ming Wong represented Singapore at the national pavilion with Life of Imitation. The exhibition, which explored cinema history, featured video installations in which Wong cross-dressed to play various characters from world cinema, a performance that the artist views as a form of drag. The artist was awarded a Special Mention during the Biennale's Opening Ceremony, the first for a Singaporean artist at the Venice Biennale. Activity in the 2010s At the 3rd Singapore Biennale in 2011, Japanese-British artist Simon Fujiwara's work, Welcome to the Hotel Munber (2010), was censored by the Singapore Art Museum (SAM), despite appropriate advisory notices put up by the museum itself as the organiser of the Biennale. The homoerotic content of the work was considered to contravene the law on pornography by the museum, and contextually relevant gay pornographic magazines were removed from the installation without prior consultation with either the artist, biennale director Matthew Ngui or curators Russell Storer and Trevor Smith. While the curatorial team and artist were informed a little later, extended discussions and negotiations took so long that the temporary closure of the work, called for by the artist, became permanent as the Biennale came to an end. In February 2012, as part of the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival, Loo Zihan staged a one-night only performance of Cane, which controversially re-enacted the significant 1994 performance art piece, Brother Cane, by Josef Ng. In December 2012, Loo organised his first solo exhibition Archiving Cane at The Substation, which consisted of an installation of 12 artefacts from Cane and Loo's artistic practice, along with a durational performance. In 2016, the queer-themed exhibition, Fault-Lines: Disparate And Desperate Intimacies, was held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, guest curated by Singapore-based curator and writer Wong Binghao. For the exhibition, Loo Zihan presented Queer Objects: An Archive for the Future, an installation consisting of 81 objects such as perfume bottles and torch lights used at Pink Dot, the annual LGBT+ rights event in Singapore; all of which presented without context to "permit viewers to construct their own narratives for the objects based on their individual experiences". Two objects, both of which were sex toys, were later removed as the institute was concerned that they contravened Section 292 1(a) of the Penal Code, which prohibits the display of obscene materials. Other Singaporean artists in the exhibition included transgender artist Marla Bendini, known for her work exploring transgender issues. Loo Zihan would open the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2015 with With/Out, a performance installation based on The Necessary Stage's Completely With/Out Character (1999), a monologue by the late Paddy Chew, the first person in Singapore to come out as being HIV-positive. In 2015, Loo was also awarded the Young Artist Award by the National Arts Council of Singapore, and selected to exhibit for the President's Young Talents (PYT) competition at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) the same year. IndigNation art events In August 2005, after organisers of the annual Nation party had their application to hold the event in Singapore abruptly rejected by the police, gay activists organised Singapore's first month-long gay pride celebration called IndigNation. An exhibition by openly gay artist Martin Loh opened in July 2005 at the Utterly Art exhibition space in South Bridge Road entitled Cerita Budak-Budak, meaning "Children's Stories" in Peranakan Malay. The second art exhibition of IndigNation was held from 10 to 16 August 2005 at The Box, entitled Solitary Desire and featuring pieces by Ong Jenn Long and Steve Chua, both of whom were young artists.

Monte Corwin Towe (born September 27, 1953) is an American basketball coach and retired basketball player. He was a starting point guard on the 1973–74 North Carolina State Wolfpack men's basketball team which won the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. At five feet seven inches, Towe is also one of the ten shortest players in NBA history. Early life Towe was born in Marion, Indiana. His hometown is Converse, Indiana. Towe attended Oak Hill High School in Converse, graduating in 1971. There, he played golf, shooting in the eighties. He also starred on the basketball team, baseball team, and football team—earning All-Area honors for the latter two. As a quarterback, he led the Oak Hill football team to two undefeated seasons, for a total of eighteen consecutive victories. He attended North Carolina State University, graduating with a B.A. in 1975. At NC State, he played varsity basketball from 1972 through 1975 and varsity baseball from 1972 through 1974. His roommate was Tommy Burleson. College basketball When he first arrived on campus at North Carolina State University to play varsity basketball, Towe was considered "a novelty, or another publicity gimmick, much like a midget in Barnum & Bailey's" because of his the five foot seven inch (1.7 m) height. At the time, Towe said, "I've never thought a small man couldn't play sports. I just figure what I lack physically I can make up for mentally—with mental toughness." Towe played much of his sophomore season with a broken wrist and a broken nose. Towe, along with David Thompson, is credited with inventing the long pass or alley-oop. Because dunking was illegal at the time, Towe would throw the basketball to Thompson while he was in the air and Thompson would gently drop the ball in the basket. As a result, the UPI selected Towe for its small-American team after his sophomore year. In his junior year, Towe was the starting point guard on 1973–74 NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team which won the 1974 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. He was the team's assist leader with five or more assists in ten games. He had eleven assists in the game against Furman University. Towe was recognized by his selection for the All-ACC team and the all-NCAA Finals team. His senior year, Towe received the 1975 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the year's best college player under tall. In 2016, the 1974 Men's Basketball Team was inducted into the NC State Athletic Hall of Fame. College baseball At NC State, Towe also played varsity baseball, covering second base for his first five games in the spring of 1972. However, he got a late start to the season because he was still playing basketball. Coach Sam Esposito said, "He came in cold and has been playing second base like he's been here all his life. He's alert, aggressive, and just does things excessively well. Monte's something else, something we've been needing on this team. He keeps us alive, he's a winner and he'll be my second baseman the rest of the year. I'd bet anybody right now that he'll be starting in basketball next year too." True to his word, Esposito played Towe for the remaining games of the season and he helped the team win seven of its remaining eight games. His sophomore year, Towe was one of the featured players in the team's media guide However, his broken wrist was expected to hamper a starting position. With Towe, NC State won the 1973 Atlantic Coast Conference baseball tournament. In his junior year, Towe was also a member of the baseball team which won 1974 Atlantic Coast Conference baseball tournament. Pro basketball career Towe was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in the third round of the 1975 ABA Draft and by the Atlanta Hawks in the fourth round (3rd pick, 57th overall) of the 1975 NBA draft. Towe joined NC State teammate David Thompson in signing with Denver under coach Larry Brown on June 17, 1975. He played for the Nuggets 1976, the final year of the American Basketball Association, and in the 1976–1977 season when Denver joined the National Basketball Association. He played in the 1976 ABA All-Star Game when the game format was Denver vs. All-Stars. The Denver Nuggets waived Towe in September 29,1977. Coaching career After his retirement as a player, Towe returned to NC State and became an assistant under his former college coach, Norm Sloan, from 1978 to 1980. He then followed Sloan to the University of Florida from 1980 to 1989. In 1990, Towe did television analyst work for the Charlotte Hornets. He coached professional teams associated with the Global Basketball Association in the 1990s, including being the head coach of the Raleigh Bullfrogs from 1991 to 1992 and head coach of the Fayetteville Flyers from 1992 to 1993. In 1993, he was coach of the Marinos B.B.C. in Venezuela, leading them to the Venezuelan Professional League Championship. He returned to the United States and was an assistant for the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the Continental Basketball Association under head coach Flip Saunders from 1994 to 1995. From 1995 to 1996, he was the head coach and athletic director at Chipola College, a junior college in Florida. Next, he was an assistant coach at the University of North Carolina at Asheville from 1996 to 1999 under former NC State assistant coach Eddie Biedenbach. He was also head coach of the Santa Fe Community College for two years, from 1999 through 2001. In 2001, Towe became the head basketball coach at the University of New Orleans. He compiled a 70–78 record over five seasons. In May 2006, he left the University of New Orleans to become associate head coach at North Carolina State under head coach and fellow NC State alumnus Sidney Lowe. Although NC State went to two National Invitation Tournaments under Lowe and Towe, the team did not go to the NCAA tournament in five seasons. Lowe, Towe and the other coaching staff were let go in 2011. On April 14, 2011, he was named an assistant coach at Middle Tennessee State University under Kermit Davis, staying there through 2014.

Frazer Smith, also known as Frazier Smith (born January 17, 1955), nicknamed "The Fraze", is an American radio personality, actor and stand-up comedian. Early life Smith was born in Detroit, Michigan. Career Smith worked in Los Angeles at KROQ-FM from 1976 through 1979, KLOS from 1979 through 1984, KMET 1984 through 1986, KLSX 1986 through 1997, KLOS in 1997, and KRTH in 2002. He has played small roles in films and television shows and was one of the announcers on the TBS music video show Night Tracks from 1986 to 1988 and 1989 to 1991. The debut of his manic show on KROQ-FM coincided with that station's rise playing what was then-new new wave music. His extended improvisational comedy based on a mythical lothario/detective was also heard on the sporadically-produced Hollywood Nightshift, which featured Phil Austin of The Firesign Theatre, as well as movie, TV actor and radio DJ, Michael C. Gwynne, who also ran the board and spun the records. There was never a script, contrary to popular reviews of the time. A 'topic' appeared spontaneously as the theme ran and announcer Laura Quinn got set to introduce 'the boys.' For several years Smith, along with Peter "Crabman" Crabbe, made an annual tradition of offering an alternate audio commentary to television coverage of the famous Tournament of Roses Parade. Listeners would be told to tune in to Los Angeles television station KTLA, which was hosted by Stephanie Edwards and Bob Eubanks. Smith would tell viewers to turn down the television volume and turn up the radio to hear the comedy parody, which included discussing news themes from the past year and applying them to the floats. For example, the year of the O. J. Simpson slow-speed car chase, one of the floats was described as a reenactment of the event. Smith and Crabbe would also describe the passing bands while playing continuous looped marching band music. Smith is noted for his KROQ-FM simulcasts of the 1978 World Series. He coined the phrase "Too hip, gotta go!" while at KLOS. Smith also hosted the late night television show called Rock 'N' America, in 1984.

5151 East Broadway (5151 E Broadway Road, Tucson, AZ) is the largest commercial office building in Tucson, Arizona. It was completed in 1975. History Formerly known as the Great Western Bank Building, construction on the building began on June 8 of 1973. Developed by Philip Wise of New York and Tucson's Joseph Cesare, president of the Broadway Reality and Trust Co. of Tucson, the property cost more than $5 million to create. By the year 1975, tenants of the new Great Western Bank Building were moving their businesses in. At 261,000 Square feet and 16 stories high, the building was sold to Seldin Real Estate, Inc under the moniker Kent Circle Partners in 2009 and is currently being managed by Picor Commercial Real Estate Services. Since completion, major interior renovations include the installation of energy efficient appliances, new HVAC systems, and the front lobby was renovated in 2006 with input from Rob Paulus Architects, Industrial Designer Kevin Mills and Caylor Construction. In 2009, Tucson College signed a 10-year lease with 5151 to aid the expansion of their growing school. Konica Minolta also signed on to be a tenant on the ground floor of the building. A separate area was constructed on one level of 5151 specifically for Tucson College and Konica Minolta. 5151 E. Broadway has recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation project. The installation of contemporary elevator cabs – including a state-of-the-art modernization program optimizing travel times - is one of a few of its kind in the state of Arizona. Events "Climb for the Fallen" is a yearly charity event that occurs in early September at 5151. The event pays tribute to fallen firefighters and police enforcement officers that lost their lives on September 11. Firefighters climb the 17 stories of 5151 a total of seven times in full gear. The climb started as a way to give back to the families of fallen 343 FDNY Firefighters and the 70 Law Enforcement Officers that lost their lives at the World Trade Center in 2001. However, Climb for the Fallen has grown into an event that also helps local fire stations and the funding of multiple support programs. Each firefighter gives a donation to participate and 100 percent of donations go to helping the families of fallen firefighters and Climb for the Fallen. The Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona held five annual "Over The Edge" special events at the commercial office tower. The event raised nearly $500,000, between 2015 and 2019. Tucson Jazz Institute, talented high school student musicians, performed holiday concerts in 2017 and 2019. Overview On site amenities include on-site management, a mini market, fitness center, coffee counter and lobby for private events.In addition, companies such as Intelligent office & Tucson Batteries & Roadside Assistance have been established on the 16th floor of the building. The building also has underground and above-ground parking with a ratio of 5:1,000. Located on the corner of Broadway and Rosemont, 5151 is close to shops, restaurants, movie theaters and other businesses. The total rentable square feet is 247,075. Minimum Divisible leasing size is 600 square feet, while the Maximum Contiguous is 13,686 square feet. The entire lot, including parking, is 352,836 square feet.

The Muse is a 1999 comedy film starring Albert Brooks, Sharon Stone, Andie MacDowell and Jeff Bridges. It is the sixth film to be directed by Brooks, from a screenplay co-written with Monica Johnson. Stone portrays the titular muse who is tasked with reviving the career of a once-celebrated Hollywood screenwriter, played by Brooks. The film also features numerous cameos from well-known filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese and James Cameron. The film received mixed reviews and did not meet with large box office success, grossing only about $11 million domestically. Sharon Stone earned a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. Plot After winning a lifetime achievement award, esteemed screenwriter Steven Phillips (Brooks) has a rude awakening. Believing the award has no real meaning, he finds out it means his career is over. His studio has reneged on renewing his contract, telling him he's "lost his edge." Junior exec Josh Martin (Mark Feuerstein) tells him over lunch that his new script is dull and he is to be off the lot by 5. Desperate to revive his career, he seeks advice from very successful screenwriter Jack (Bridges), who arranges an introduction to Sarah (Stone), a modern-day muse who can inspire anyone. She has lavish demands (expensive hotel rooms, gifts from Tiffany's), much to his wife Laura's chagrin (MacDowell). Steven isn't sure if she is authentic or a charlatan. She takes him to Long Beach, where they bump into writer-director Rob Reiner, whom Sarah clearly knows. There, Steven gets an idea for a movie set in an aquarium, with Jim Carrey as the lead. As Sarah's demands increase, Steven's apprehensive wife begins to be won over. Through the muse's encouragement Laura decides to pursue her dream of baking and selling cookies, to great success. To save money, Sarah is invited to move into their house. Steven, however, is frustrated because she spends more time helping others — Hollywood writers and directors like James Cameron and Martin Scorsese, who come to Steven's house to see her. He even surrenders his own bedroom to her, sleeping in the guest house. When he pleads for a good ending for his aquarium screenplay, Sarah points Steven in the right direction, inspiring him with a great idea. Steven's agent Hal is thrilled and urges him to finish the script as quickly as possible, which he does. The following morning, though, two visitors come to Steven's, doctors from a mental clinic. They tell him Sarah is an escaped psychiatric patient from their asylum with multiple personality disorder. They find the whole "muse" idea hilarious. When they try to find Sarah to take her back, they discover that she has escaped and decide not to look for her, as she can come and go anytime she wants. The junior exec, Josh, loves Steven's script but breaks the news it is already in production at another studio — by Rob Reiner. A broken-hearted Steven goes to work in his wife's new cookie business. Things look up when the agent calls to tell Steven that the Reiner project fell through and the studio wants to purchase his version, contingent upon a few changes. An excited Steven goes to the studio, where a secretary reveals that Josh was fired for stealing and they have a new boss in charge, Christine. Steven is shocked to see Christine is Sarah in a black wig. She takes Steven's arm and insists that they discuss the changes over a nice, expensive lunch, which she expects him to pay for. Steven frantically tries to comprehend what is happening. Cast Soundtrack Pop rock musician Elton John composed the soundtrack for The Muse. Reception The Muse was a box office disappointment, grossing about $11 million domestically on an estimated budget of $15 million. It did relatively poorly at the box office compared to some of Brooks' other films, such as Defending Your Life (1991), which made $16 million, and Mother (1996), which made $19 million. Most complained that the problem was Brooks' lacking energy in his direction of the film. Critical reception was lukewarm, with the film holding a 53% rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 78 reviews, with the consensus; "Despite quirky and original writing, the subject matter feels too removed to produce laughs", but critics who were fans of the film included Leonard Maltin, Roger Ebert, and Desson Howe. Wade Major, writing in Boxoffice, called it “a first-rate Hollywood satire that fearlessly goes so far as to even name names. Agents, executives, directors, actors and even writers are given their lumps—many showing up to do the on-screen damage themselves in a cascade of self-deprecating cameos. Stone’s dizzy Muse, however, is the film’s most delightful surprise, providing an energetic counterpoint to Brooks’ neurotic fatalism…” Variety critic Todd McCarthy thought it “Typically fresh and idiosyncratic in the writing but often flat directorially.” McCarthy also believed that its commercial potential was restricted to “sophisticated upscale audiences.” Janet Maslin of the New York Times, however, thought it was “one of Mr. Brooks’s most broadly entertaining films,” with “enough of a stellar twinkle to bring it to a more general audience.” In a three-star review, Roger Ebert thought “the movie is good, but not great Brooks; not the equal of ‘Lost in America’ or ‘Mother,’ but smart, funny—and edgy.” Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan wrote, “Underneath all its humor, ‘The Muse’ manages to casually deal with some fascinating issues, such as the nature of creativity and inspiration and the important role belief has in making things happen. After all, as someone says, ‘This is Hollywood. People here believe anything.’” Golden Globe controversy In 1999, Helmut Voss, then president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who give the annual Golden Globe Awards, ordered all 82 of its members to return gift luxury watches sent by either Sharon Stone or USA/October Films (now merged into Focus Features). The luxury watches were considered promotions for a nomination for Stone's performance in the film. According to Variety, Voss ordered the return of the gifts "to protect the integrity of its award". Stone received the nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, but lost to Janet McTeer for Tumbleweeds.

Newton Highlands is one of the thirteen villages within the city of Newton in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. The Newton Highlands Historic District includes residential and commercial businesses back to the late 19th century. History John Haynes owned much of the land that is now Newton Highlands in 1635. He was the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The area was primarily farm land until train service was brought to the area. The Charles River Railroad extended its service in the Newton, Massachusetts area, from Brookline to Newton Highlands. It was called the Highlands Branch. Initially, train service was just for commercial traffic. In the 1870s, commuter service was extended from Boston to the village. The historic commuter suburb was platted after 1852 when the Charles River Railroad was first built. The streets included Floral, Lincoln, Walnut, and Hyde Streets. Land north of Lincoln Street was subdivided for more streets in 1871. As the village was settled in 1870s, houses were built of Mansard, Colonial Revival, Italianate, and other forms of Victorian architecture. Late 19-century historic houses, some businesses, the Newton Congregational Church, and the Hyde School are located in the Newton Highlands Historic District. Boston architects designed brick buildings to replace old wooden schoolhouses in the 1890s. Hartwell and Richardson designed the Hyde School, which was dedicated in 1895. The first Brigham's Ice Cream shop was located in Newton Highlands. Train service Newton Highlands has two Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) stops on the Green Line at the Newton Highlands and Eliot stations.

Donald Nathan Levine (June 16, 1931 – April 4, 2015) was an American sociologist, educator, social theorist and writer at the University of Chicago, where he served as Dean of the College. Within sociology, he is perhaps best known for his work in sociological theory and his translations and interpretations of Georg Simmel's classical texts into English, which led to a resurgence of interest in Simmel's work in the discipline. He was also a central figure in Ethiopian Studies. Biography Levine was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1931. He attended the University of Chicago. There, he earned a BA in 1950, MA in 1954, and PhD in 1957. His intellectual development was greatly shaped by the teachers and curriculum of the "Hutchins College" at Chicago. As a graduate student, Levine's mentors included Robert Redfield and Richard McKeon. He also spent a formative year in Germany in 1952–1953 as the University's first exchange student at the Goethe University of Frankfurt. Except for five years abroad, Levine lived in Chicago ever since receiving his doctorate in Sociology. His dissertation focused on a comparison of the works of Georg Simmel and Talcott Parsons. During his postdoctoral fellowship, he spent three years in Ethiopia, which included teaching courses at University College of Addis Ababa. He joined the faculty at the University of Chicago in 1962 and started a program on African civilization. Over time, he served as a professor of Sociology there, and its dean of undergraduate college. He later held the Peter B. Ritzma chair in Sociology (Professor Emeritus) at the University. Levine died on April 4, 2015. Career Throughout his career, Levine remained engaged with four primary areas of work: undergraduate education, sociological theory, Ethiopian Studies, and the Japanese martial art of aikido. Levine made distinctive contributions to the teaching of undergraduates throughout five decades of service at the University of Chicago. As chair of the staff of the Social Sciences 121-2-3 sequence in the 1960s, he reorganized the yearlong course into its current form as Self, Culture & Society. As founding Master of the Social Sciences Collegiate Division from 1965 to 1968, Levine also introduced programs, including the African Civilization sequence and the Public Policy concentration program, that remain vital to this day. Subsequently, Levine initiated the concentration program in Environmental Studies. As Dean of the College in the 1980s, he led a searching reexamination of the College curriculum, which resulted in enriched research opportunities for students, strengthened programs in the teaching of writing and foreign languages, and an expansion of the Common Core from one to two years. Levine also created novel courses of his own, some described in his 2005 book, Powers of the Mind: The Reinvention of Liberal Learning in America, which focuses on Chicago’s distinctive traditions of higher education. He received the Quantrell Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1971, and won the Amoco Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1996. In 1985 he was awarded a chair, the Peter B. Ritzma Professorship. In the area of social theory, Levine published a hundred papers and five books. He was especially well known for his critical interpretations of Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Talcott Parsons, Robert Merton, S.N. Eisenstadt, and above all Georg Simmel, in whose writings he is often credited for helping to inspire a renaissance of interest. His book, Georg Simmel on Individuality and Social Forms is one of the definitive collections of Simmel's sociological contributions. He taught classical sociological theory to first-year students in Chicago's Department of Sociology for decades. He was elected Chair of the Theory Section of the American Sociological Association in 1997, and for two decades served as editor of the University of Chicago Press's Heritage of Sociology series. Levine served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Sociology, Journal of Classical Sociology, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, and Theory, Culture & Society. For five decades, Levine was also active in the area of Ethiopian Studies. In this, field he published two seminal books and dozens of papers. He organized the Fifth International Conference of Ethiopian Studies at the University of Chicago in 1978. For his expertise as an Ethiopianist he served as consultant to public and governmental organizations, include the U.S. Department of State, the United States Senate, and the Peace Corps. Before joining the Chicago faculty in 1962, he taught at Ethiopia's University College of Addis Ababa. Levine eventually received a Doctor of Letters honoris causa in 2004 from Addis Ababa University, where his citation read: "Ethiopianist, sociological theorist, educator: you have succeeded in all three vocations. Your pioneering work, Wax and Gold, has become an Ethiopian classic. As manifested in its title, yours is an exceptionally imaginative quest to reach an understanding of Amhara society from the internal point of view. The very concept of "Wax and Gold" has taken a life of its own: it figures at once in our understanding of Ethiopia's pre-modern culture and in our coming to grips with Ethiopia's reception of modernity. Greater Ethiopia draws attention to the deep fact that Ethiopian life is rooted in multicultural identities, and it also demonstrates the salient bonds that hold them together." In 1979, Levine began the practice of aikido, to which he remained devoted ever since. In 2003, he was promoted to the rank of yondan (4th-degree black belt) through the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba. He served as head instructor of the University of Chicago Aikido Club since the late 1980s. In 1986 he began teaching a credit course, Conflict Theory and Aikido, described in Powers of the Mind. The course helps students to understand and manage social conflict by combining texts from a number of disciplines with regular training in aikido’s aggression-neutralizing techniques. He was founding president of Aiki Extensions Inc., a non-profit organization that networks and supports individuals involved with “off-the-mat” aikido applications. In 2011 he compiled a selection of his articles related to aikido under the title, Aiki Waza Michi Shirube, Aikido Practice is a Signpost to the Way.

Indian Trail is a suburban town in Union County, North Carolina, United States. A part of the Charlotte metropolitan area, Indian Trail has grown rapidly in the 21st century, going from 1,942 residents in 1990 to 39,997 in 2020. History Founded on March 12, 1861, the town holds a history of traders traveling along the "Indian Trail," which ran from Petersburg, Virginia, to the Waxhaw Indians and gold mining areas. Indian Trail was first a farming community; however, German and Scot-Irish and Irish settlers began to move into the area due to its geographical location. In 1874, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad was built between the cities Charlotte and Monroe. The railroad, which runs through the town, brought prosperity to the area. Indian Trail was incorporated as a town in 1907, with established city limits based upon a one-half mile radius from the intersection of Indian Trail Road and the Seaboard Railroad. The historic rail depot at the intersection still stands, and is currently occupied by an auction business. The rail line is now operated by CSX Transportation. Geography Located in the southern portion of the Piedmont region of North Carolina, Indian Trail is a rapidly growing suburb approximately 10 miles southeast of Charlotte, in Union County.

Wendy Newman (born 1967) is an American relationship expert, professional workshop leader, and author. Her relationship advice, often with other experts in the field, has been published in the Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, Salon magazine, Yahoo! Health, and Bustle magazine. Newman leads a variety of self-improvement workshops; her guidance is based upon her research which started in 2002 and continues today. Her freshman novel, 121 First Dates, details her personal experiences with dates, dating websites and ultimately finding her life partner. Life and career Newman was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah and became a hotelier in 1986. In 1987 she relocated to San Francisco and for much of the 1990s, she was the general manager of Mary Elizabeth Inn, an 88-room residence for disenfranchised women. In the early 2000s, she incubated an Internet start-up, StaySonoma.com, a lodging accommodations company she sold in 2012. Newman has been employed by PAX Programs since 2002, and has led over one hundred relationship workshops since 2006. She received a certificate in American Sign Language (ASL) and Deaf Culture Studies from Vista Community College, Berkeley, California (1997). 121 First Dates Newman's blogging, which ultimately became 121 First Dates, began with "Date #54 - Keeping Up With Mr. Johnson" on May 8, 2010. Sharing her experiences with family and friends, she continued blogging, reasoning if she didn't end up with a partner, perhaps she might end up with a book. Her calendar contained the 53 earlier dates which she wrote from memory. The working title of the book at that time was, 101 First Dates: A Survival Guide For The Single Girl; Newman met her husband, Dave Pierce, on her 121st first date. A completed manuscript was already in editing at the time of meeting Pierce and was then rewritten from the perspective of a woman now in a committed relationship. Twenty-eight, first-date short-stories are included in 121 First Dates: How to Succeed at Online Dating, Fall in Love, and Live Happily Ever After (Really!). Newman decided against self-publishing 121 First Dates. In connection with the publication, Newman has been interviewed by, Access Hollywood (NBC), the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post (reprinted Chicago Tribune), The Huffington Post, Self magazine (reprinted in Glamor), and The Daily Free Press 121 First Dates has been reviewed by, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Metro International.

John Francis Joseph McAuliffe, also known by his religious name Norbert McAuliffe, was an American missionary known for his work in Uganda. He was born in lower Manhattan, New York, on September 30, 1886. As a professed member of the Institute of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, a Roman Catholic religious community of laymen, he would work in education for more than 50 years until his death on July 3, 1959, in Gulu, Uganda. Childhood McAuliffe was born to an Irish-American working-class family in lower Manhattan. His father, Daniel, was an immigrant from Ireland and worked on the New York City docks. His mother, Elizabeth or Lizzie, was Daniel's second wife and would raise five children – three survived to adulthood – Walter, John, and Elizabeth or Lillian. McAuliffe was baptized at St. Rose Church in lower Manhattan on November 7, 1886. His father died after a short illness in 1893 and he and his siblings would be orphaned with the unexpected death of their mother on October 10, 1895. His sister, Elizabeth, went to stay with their half-brother, Daniel Jr, from their father's first marriage. McAuliffe (age 9) and his brother Walter (age 11) were accepted into St. Agnes Home in Sparkill, New York, on November 13, 1895. After St. Agnes Home was destroyed by fire in 1899, the two brothers were separated, with Walter going to the Catholic Protectory in New York City while McAuliffe went to the new St. Agnes Home established in Troy, New York. In 1902, McAuliffe's life direction would change with a visit to the home by Stanislaus Keating. The brothers' missionary work, especially in orphanages, attracted John's attention. He was discharged from St. Agnes Home on April 30, 1902, and entered the Brothers of the Sacred Heart formation house in Metuchen, New Jersey, on May 1, 1902. Formation and ministry in the United States Already formed by the Dominican Sisters at Sparkill to a pattern of prayer and common life, McAuliffe adapted quickly to the spartan life led by the brothers at Metuchen. McAuliffe received the habit on November 14, 1902, and took the name, Norbert. He made his first commitment, or vows, on November 21, 1903, at Metuchen. McAuliffe took to the brothers' mission of education immediately. He lived and worked with young people in schools in several places and grew more skilled in his teaching, eventually becoming the school principal and superior of the local community. Places he served during this time included Indianapolis, Indiana; Meridian, Mississippi; Muskogee, Oklahoma; and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. He took perpetual vows at Bay St. Louis on July 10, 1910. McAuliffe's expertise as an educator and formator of young people grew with the years and saw him also serve in Vicksburg, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; Donaldsonville, Louisiana and Washington, Indiana. During this period, the brothers rarely took up full-time studies but instead studied through an internal program and summer courses. McAuliffe completed his high school studies in 1915 and would graduate from the Normal School at Bay St Louis in 1917, qualified by the day's standards as a teacher. He attended summer programs at Loyola University in New Orleans, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in August 1921, and would later receive a lifetime Indiana Teacher's License in 1923. Missionary commitment McAuliffe took a break from his life as a teacher for a retreat and recollection period at the Grand Novitiate in Renteria, Spain, from September 1930 to April 1931. This time would also see his life take another major turn when he volunteered for the missions. As a novice, McAuliffe had welcomed 45 French men, Brothers, and aspirants, who had been exiled due to anti-religious laws established in France at the time. Among them was Albertinus, who would serve as novice master, and as Provincial, he would ask McAuliffe to be the leader of the first group of missionaries to Uganda. Albertinus would later serve as the Superior General of the community and would be a close supporter of McAuliffe in his missionary endeavors. Initially, McAuliffe was not among the group that had planned the first missionary foray into Uganda. Still, when the expedition leader fell ill, Albertinus turned to McAuliffe to take his place. McAuliffe and three other brothers, Oswin, Camillus, and Coleman, left the USA on July 23, 1931, traveling by boat from New York to Le Havre in France and then on to Africa. They arrived in Gulu, Uganda, on August 29, 1931. Life in Africa – Part 1 Initially, the brothers served at St. Louis College, later St. Aloysius College, in Gulu, establishing both their reputation as educators and gaining a foothold in the local communities where they served. A later expansion of this project included a junior high school, St. Joseph, and an agricultural school. It was difficult, isolated work but much appreciated by the people and by the Church authorities. Already though, among the brothers and especially among the local Acholi people, McAuliffe had the reputation as a holy and prayerful man. The local people had begun to call him Dano Ma Lego, “the man who prays.” The War Years 1939–1945 McAuliffe arrived in New York for his first visit home in ten years on October 15, 1939. McAuliffe could not have timed his return home at a more difficult time. With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, as a British colony, Uganda was in the midst of it. Returning to his missionary work would not be possible. Instead, McAuliffe was assigned as the Director at Metuchen, New Jersey, the formation center in the United States where he had been formed. During these six years, he sustained what was, in fact, an impoverished community, living on the food it grew during difficult social times. Yet, many of the witnesses of that period describe McAuliffe's demeanor. His characteristic virtue was charity. He gave the best he had to people with humility and kindness. These years were not a loss for McAuliffe, and he grew in his interior life, and these years were also a blessing for those who worked and lived with him. Life in Africa – Part 2 On December 31, 1945, McAuliffe sailed from New York back to his missionary work in Uganda, arriving on February 9, 1946. After initially working at the Brothers’ high school in Gulu, McAuliffe established a more permanent setting for young men's formation as Brothers. Soon after, he was appointed the Brothers' leader, or Director-General, guiding the work of the Brothers throughout eastern Africa. When he arrived back, St. Aloysius College had moved to Nyapea, Uganda, during the war years. McAuliffe returned to develop St. Joseph College in Gulu. Under McAuliffe's leadership, the brothers would spread their work far and wide, including the development of new schools in Okaru, Sudan, and Nyeri, Kenya, and a formation center in Alokolum near Gulu, in Uganda. In 1952, McAuliffe was now 65 years old and was appointed as the leader for a third term. This term was short-lived due to illness and a quick return to the US for treatment. When McAuliffe had returned to Africa in 1946, there were six brothers. By the end of his term in 1954, there were 21 missionaries, 6 African novices, and 53 postulants. In 1955, he saw the first Ugandan novices take their vows. A new generation had begun to take up the baton. According to witnesses, McAuliffe became the novice teacher and taught as much by his life and by his words. On July 3, 1959, after a few days of illness, McAuliffe passed away. The Bishop of Gulu blessed the body and planned the mass. As a sign of McAuliffe's esteem, the brothers sat in the chancel of the church while the attending priests sat in the body of the church, so revered was McAuliffe. Cause for sainthood From his passing, the brothers, students, and local people acclaimed McAuliffe's life and ministry as holy and exemplary. They sustained their devotion to his memory within the Gulu diocese and beyond. The Ugandan bishops had invoked his name as an intercessor for all Ugandans. As a result, between June 16–July 13, 1994, the diocesan investigation reviewed his life and met with the witnesses to that life of faith. On June 9, 1995, the Holy See affirmed the diocesan investigation's outcome, according McAuliffe the title, Servant of God. A detailed examination of his life, of witnesses, of the history of the period, and the person's writings was undertaken. The result, known as the positio, was then examined by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome. On June 23, 2015, the initial review affirmed the experience of the many witnesses. On May 8, 2018, the Congregation's consultors affirmed that McAuliffe had exhibited the theological and cardinal virtues to a heroic degree. Finally, Pope Francis affirmed that result on May 19, 2018, declaring the heroicity of McAuliffe's virtues and thus bestowing upon him the title of Venerable in the church.
