Production
Around 1969, Fabio Piccioni wrote a short story titled Il grido del Capricorno, which he later adapted into an adult comic book in the Oltretomba series. Living across from the office of Salvatore Argento, Piccioni approached Argento and sold him the rights to Il grido del Capricorno for 500,000 Italian lire. Some elements of Il grido del capricorno would later appear in Dario Argento's films The Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Deep Red. Piccioni reused elements of his story again years later in a contemporary setting, with a script made with Antonio Cesare Corti and Riccardo Freda that would become Murder Obsession. Some sources credit the film's original title as L'ossessione che uccide whereas the script located at the BiFi (Bibliothèque du film) in Paris is titled Deliria and is credited to Corti and Piccioni and dated from 1976. The Deliria script is generally identical to the script used in Murder Obsession with only a few characters' names changed.
According to Riccardo Freda's daughter Jacqueline Freda, her father took on the script to re-enter the film market after his latest absence from the industry, and to earn potential financing for a pet project based on the life of Italian World War I fighter ace Francesco Baracca. Murder Obsession was an Italian and French co-production, with the Italian producer Enzo Boetani and his company Dinoysio Cinematografica. Boetani had known Freda for years but never had a chance to actually complete a project with him, having worked together on one unknown project and another entitled Superhuman (which Boetani described as a superhero and professional wrestling styled film). Freda brought the script to Boetani and suggested doing it as an Italian and French co-production, with the French producer being his friend Simon Mizrahi.
Filming went on for three weeks in April 1980, predominantly in Palace Borghese in Artena and at Parco della Mola in Oriolo Romano. Actress Laura Gemser recalled her negative experience making the film, describing the filming as a "nightmare", specifically mentioning a scene where Anita Strindberg used a real knife to pretend to stab her. Martine Brochard also did not have fond memories of the filming, noting a scene where there is glass specifically cut to fit over her head and a camera with a chainsaw attached to it that got dangerously close to the actress. Both Brochard and Stefano Patrizi spoke negatively about working with Freda, with Brochard noting that he treated the French actors badly and Patrizi having little recollection of the film other than vaguely recalling that Freda was a "harsh man of few words, and not very affable" Riccardo Freda also edited the film in an uncredited capacity.
Release
Murder Obsession was submitted to Italian film censors on October 15, 1980 and was passed on October 31 but was only released in Italy on February 24, 1981. Italian film historian Roberto Curti described it as having "mediocre business" which Boetani blamed on the distributor, who did not pay back the expected sum which lead to the production losing over 50 percent of the production costs. Freda dismissed the film, referring to it as "shit".
The film has been released on home video in the United States as Murder Obsession, Fear and The Wailing. The film was released as Fear on VHS by Wizard Video. The film was released on Blu-ray and DVD by Raro Video.
Reception
From retrospective reviews, Louis Paul in his book Italian Horror Film Directors declared Murder Obsession to be "Freda's best film, although it doesn't make much sense" noting that Freda "confounds the viewer with hallucinations, red herrings galore and a decidedly downbeat ending" and concluding that the film "loves to play with the limitations of the genre and seeks to exceed the demands of its audiences at the same time."

They first appeared in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. Saudi Arabia made their debut in the Winter Olympics in 2022.
Women's participation in the Olympics
Prior to June 2012, Saudi Arabia banned female athletes from competing at the Olympics. However, following the International Olympic Committee pressuring the Saudi Olympic Committee to send female athletes to the 2012 Summer Olympics, in June 2012 the Saudi Embassy in London announced this had been agreed.
There were calls for Saudi Arabia to be barred from the Olympics until it permitted women to compete, notably from Anita DeFrantz, chair of the International Olympic Committee's Women and Sports Commission, in 2010. In 2008, Ali Al-Ahmed, director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs, likewise called for Saudi Arabia to be barred from the Games, describing its ban on women athletes as a violation of the International Olympic Committee charter. Stating that gender discrimination should be no more acceptable than racial discrimination, he noted: "For the last 15 years, many international nongovernmental organizations worldwide have been trying to lobby the IOC for better enforcement of its own laws banning gender discrimination. [...] While [its] efforts did result in increasing numbers of women Olympians, the IOC has been reluctant to take a strong position and threaten the discriminating countries with suspension or expulsion."
Dalma Rushdi Malhas competed at the 2010 Singapore Youth Olympics and won a bronze medal in equestrian (see Saudi Arabia at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics). Saudi Arabia agreed on July 12, 2012, to send two women to compete in that year's Games in London, England: the two female athletes were Wojdan Shaherkani in judo, and 800-meter runner Sarah Attar.

Geography
Lake Dreamland is located at .
History
A developer named Ed Hartlage began developing Lake Dreamland as a resort in the 1930s. He dammed a creek called Beaver's Run in 1931 to create Dreamland Lake, and leased the waterfront lots to people willing to build cottages there. It was initially intended purely as a summer resort for wealthy Louisvillians.He was claimed to have adopted the moniker after a critic warned him that his grandiose development plan was a pipe dream that would never come true.
However, the Ohio River flood of 1937 devastated the area and permanently stunted growth. A floodwall cut through the development, and the remaining cottages were soon in poor repair. The neighborhood lacked public water, electricity and paved roads, so Hartlage rented the properties for much lower prices than he had originally hoped. Hartlage retained ownership in the 1940s as workers from nearby industrial area called Rubbertown built homes in Lake Dreamland.
As an additional attraction, Hartlage erected a dance hall initially called Hartlage's Barn, but better known as Club El Rancho, a popular rock and roll club. In 1957, the Courier-Journal credited Club El Rancho with being the first place in Louisville to hear live rock and roll music. The club became a hangout for a motorcycle gang by the late 1960s, and burnt down in 1967. Local legend held that a Lake Dreamland resident torched the club to get rid of the nuisance.
Although a few residents owned their lots, most simply rented, which made the area ineligible for county-financed construction of utilities or roads. In 1982, Jefferson County Community Development officials said the Lake Dreamland area had some of the worst housing in the county, with conditions such as backed-up sewage, caved-in floors and ceilings, and no indoor plumbing in some structures. Ed Hartlage died in 1980, and residents were finally able to buy the land from his estate in 1980.
Residents formed a neighborhood association in 1983 and resisted a 1988 plan for the government to gradually buy out the flood-prone neighborhood.

1555271 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhode%20Island%20Route%2037 | Rhode Island Route 37 | Route 37 is a state highway running in Providence County and Kent County, Rhode Island, United States. A freeway for its entire length, it serves the cities of Cranston and Warwick and is also a major east–west freeway in the Providence metropolitan area, linking T. F. Green Airport with Interstate 295. The western terminus of Route 37 is an at-grade intersection with Natick Avenue in Cranston. The freeway has numbered interchanges with I-295, Rhode Island Route 2, Pontiac Avenue, and I-95 before terminating at a trumpet interchange with U.S. Route 1 in Warwick.
Originally conceived as a freeway linking Scituate with suburban Warwick, the proposed alignment of Route 37 was later shortened to an alignment linking I-295 with I-95. Construction on the freeway began in 1963 and was completed by 1969. An eastward extension across upper Narragansett Bay was proposed in 1966; this proposal would have extended Route 37 north to I-195 and I-295 in Attleboro, Massachusetts, completing a beltway around the city of Providence. This extended route was approved and given the I-895 designation in 1968, but the extension was ultimately canceled by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT). In the 1980s, Route 37 was included in proposals for an eastward extension of Interstate 84 from Hartford, Connecticut, to Rhode Island, but this alignment was also canceled. RIDOT has long-range plans to extend Route 37 east to Route 117 in Downtown Warwick, but plans for a westward extension have been abandoned.
Route description
Route 37 begins at an at-grade intersection with Natick Avenue in the city of Cranston; Natick Avenue is an unnumbered road that is used to access Rhode Island Route 51 (Phenix Avenue). Shortly after the intersection with Natick Avenue, Route 37 begins to head in a northeastern direction and has its first numbered exit at a cloverleaf interchange with I-295. The interchange is signed as Exits 1A-B from Route 37 west, but both the northbound and southbound lanes of I-295 are served via a single on-ramp from Route 37 east. After the junction with I-295, Route 37 passes through a densely settled region of Cranston and passes over Route 5 on a single-span bridge. After passing under Glen Hills Drive, the freeway turns to head in a southwestern direction before intersecting Route 2 at a cloverleaf interchange signed as Exits 2A-B.
After the interchange with Route 2, Route 37 passes over Power Road before intersecting with Pontiac Avenue, an unnumbered, four-lane highway in Cranston.The interchange, numbered as Exit 3, is the only one along the length of Route 37 that does not have a suffixed exit number in either direction. Shortly after Exit 3, Route 37 crosses over the Pawtuxet River and enters the city of Warwick. In Warwick, the freeway has a complicated interchange with I-95 that is signed as Exits 4A-B. From westbound Route 37, exit 4B is a right-hand exit that is used to access I-95 north, while exit 4A is a left-hand exit that is used to access I-95 south. Both ramps from eastbound Route 37 are right-hand exits.
After the I-95 interchange, Route 37 widens to three lanes in each direction. The freeway crosses Jefferson Boulevard and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor railroad on twin-span bridges and passes to the north of the Lincoln Park Cemetery before interchanging with US 1 at exits 5A-B. The freeway terminates at a trumpet interchange with US 1, with the two left-hand lanes defaulting onto US 1 north and the right-hand lane serving US 1 south, which connects to T. F. Green Airport.
History
Construction of the freeway
The origins of Route 37 date back to 1956, when the Rhode Island Department of Public Works (RIDPW) included the Route 37 Expressway on its list of proposed freeways for the state of Rhode Island. The freeway was originally proposed to begin at Route 116 in Hope, a village of Scituate, and extend east through Cranston to Route 117 in Warwick. The route would also have connections with the proposed I-295 in Cranston and I-95 in Warwick.
In 1959, RIDPW approved construction of the expressway, amending the proposed route to an alignment extending roughly from I-295 to a junction with Route 10 (Huntington Expressway) in Warwick; Route 10 would be extended south to Warwick as part of the plan. The routing was officially designated as Route 37, but was at one time referred to as the "Lincoln Avenue Freeway" after a local road in Warwick that the new route would bypass. RIDPW originally planned to begin construction in 1960, but it was delayed until 1963 due to ongoing construction projects with I-95 and I-195 in Providence. Route 37 was routed through mostly undeveloped land in the cities of Warwick and Cranston, and in 1969, the construction of the freeway to an interchange with US 1 in Warwick was completed. The proposed southern extension of Route 10 was ultimately canceled by RIDPW.
Proposed extensions
In 1966, Route 37 was included in a proposal to extend I-295 across Narragansett Bay to make a full beltway around the city of Providence. The plan, which was approved by both RIDPW and the Massachusetts Highway Department (MassHighway), involved extending Route 37 eastward from its existing terminus at US 1 across Narragansett bay via a new bridge that would connect Warwick with the town of Barrington. The expressway would then head northward into the town of Warren, intersecting I-195 in the town of Swansea after crossing into Massachusetts. Eventually, the freeway would connect with I-295 at its existing northern terminus in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
In 1969, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) designated the proposed expressway as I-895 instead of the originally proposed I-295. The expressway was planned to extend the existing Route 37 by , and was scheduled to be completed by 1975. In 1971, however, the expressway's original routing was canceled due to community opposition in the towns of Barrington and Warren and concerns that a new bridge across Upper Narragansett Bay would interfere with aviation traffic at T. F. Green Airport. In 1971, RIDOT submitted a new proposed alignment for I-895 that utilized the Jamestown and Newport Bridges in southern Newport County and bypassed Barrington and Warwick altogether, but the interstate was ultimately canceled in 1982.
In 1981, ten years after the eastern extension of Route 37 was canceled, RIDOT began planning studies for a western extension of the freeway. The expressway was included in a proposal to extend I-84 eastward from Hartford, Connecticut, to Providence; more northern alignments for the freeway had been rejected due to concerns of potential damage to the Scituate Reservoir. The southern routing of I-84, which would have utilized Route 37 and terminated in Warwick, largely bypassed the reservoir's watershed. In 1982, however, I-84 was officially canceled by RIDOT after studies indicated that the southern alignment was not a feasible alternative.
In 1992, RIDOT reviewed plans for an eastern extension of Route 37. The department conducted planning studies on two proposed freeway alignments that would extend Route 37 into Downtown Warwick. The first proposal continued the freeway southeast from US 1 to Airport Road for , while the second proposal extended the freeway east for , intersecting Route 117 and Route 117A in the village of Hoxsie before terminating at Route 117 (West Shore Road). The first option was ultimately dropped by RIDOT after studies indicated the routing would interfere with aviation traffic at T. F. Green Airport. The freeway extension to Route 117 remained on RIDOT's long-term plans, but this has since been abandoned as well.
Recent history
In June 2006, erosion resulting from heavy rains exposed human remains near the westbound lanes of Route 37 in Cranston. Subsequent drainage improvements to the freeway led to the discovery of human remains from more than 70 individuals buried in late 19th and early 20th centuries. Archaeological research indicated that the portion of Route 37 in Cranston between Exits 2 and 3 was inadvertently constructed over a portion of the State Farm Cemetery in the 1960s. The cemetery's wooden burial markers had deteriorated by the time Route 37 was constructed, and environmental studies that would have indicated the location of the cemetery were not conducted prior to the expressway's construction. In late 2006, the remains of 71 individuals were exhumed from the site of the previous cemetery and re-interred at the State Institution Cemetery in Warwick. On July 14, 2009, RIDOT hosted a memorial service for the 71 people re-interred in Warwick.
A 2021 investigation by WPRI-TV revealed that the remains of at least 1,000 individuals remained buried under Route 37 after the Rhode Island Department of Transportation built the highway over State Farm Cemetery in the 1960s and inadvertently did not exhume and remove the remains. The findings were confirmed by an RIDOT spokesperson.
Future
RIDOT was rewarded a $25 million federal grant was awarded to rehabilitate six bridges along the Route 37. However, RIDOT is also planning to eliminate the bridge over Power Road and downgrade the Post Road (US 1) eastern terminus interchange to an at-grade signalized intersection.
Exit list
RIDOT is currently in the process of converting its sequential exit numbering to mileage-based numbering to conform with federal highway standards. In November 2019, RIDOT announced that Route 37 would be part of the third round of exit renumbering to begin on/after December 9, 2019.

35541891 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-series%20light%20bulb | A-series light bulb | The A-series light bulb is the "classic" glass light bulb shape that has been the most commonly used type for general lighting service (GLS) applications since the early 20th century. It has a pear-like shape and is typically fitted to either an Edison screw or a bayonet cap base. The number that follows the "A" designation indicates the nominal major diameter of the bulb, either in one-eighth inch units in North America or in millimeters in the rest of the world.
Physical outline
The most commonly used A-series light bulb type is an A60 bulb (or its inch-based equivalent, the A19 bulb), which is 60 mm ( in or in) wide at its widest point and approximately in length.
Other sizes with a data sheet in IEC 60064 are A50, A55, A67, A68, A71, A75, and A80.
Another common A-series light bulb type is the A15 bulb which is commonly used in the US for appliances and ceiling fans. The A15 bulb is wide at its widest point and 3.39 inches tall.
Socket type
Most A19/A60 light bulbs come with an E26 type (i.e. 26 millimeters in diameter) in countries with a mains supply voltage of 100–120 volts, or an E27 type (i.e. 27 millimeters in diameter) in countries with 220–240 volts AC. A-series light bulbs using the older B22 bayonet twist type base are less common; they can be found in the UK and many British Commonwealth countries.
Specifications
IEC/TR 60887:2010 defines the A bulb shape as: "A bulb shape having a spherical end section that is joined to the neck by a radius that (a) has a centre outside the bulb, (b) has a magnitude greater than the radius of the spherical section, (c) and is tangent to both the neck and the curve of the spherical end section.". The same standard also defines in addition to the A shape also bulged (B), conical (C), elliptical (E), flame (F), Globular (G), (K), mushroom (M), (P), reflector (R), straight-sided (S) and tubular (T) bulb shapes, as well as several modifier letters and special shapes. Very similar to the A shape are the P shape ("A bulb having a spherical end section, and a conical mid section, the sides of which are tangent to the curve of the spherical section"), and its PS variant ("Tubular neck section below the bulb and above the approximate reference line").
ANSI C79.1-2002, IS 14897:2000, and JIS C 7710:1988 define the "A shape" as "a bulb shape having a spherical end section that is joined to the neck by a radius", where the radius is greater than that of the sphere, corresponds to an osculating circle outside the light bulb, and is tangent to both the neck and the sphere. The Energy Star certification only requires omnidirectional light bulbs to fit the overall dimensions of the corresponding ANSI bulb type.
Lamp types
Although most A-shape bulbs have historically used incandescent lighting technology, some other technologies – such as compact fluorescent (CFL) or LED lamps – have been used in A-shape bulbs more recently.

60447720 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%20Guide%20to%20Berlin%20%28novel%29 | A Guide to Berlin (novel) | A Guide to Berlin is a 2015 novel by Australian author Gail Jones. With the same name as Vladimir Nabokov's short story A Guide to Berlin, Jones' novel follows the main character, a young Australian woman named Cass, as she travels to Berlin and meets with five other travellers in the city. The six members form a literary group, all inspired at one point in their lives by Nabokov's life and works, and share their personal stories which they call speak-memories. Towards the end of the novel, a moment of violence within the group changes the direction and tone of the story.
Plot
The novel begins with one member of the literary group, Marco Gianelli, giving a short eulogy for the deceased, who remains without identity at this point. In the next chapter, it cuts to Cass’ third person point of view as she describes the scenery in wintry Berlin. Cass goes to her first literary meeting and the reader is introduced to the other five members, “Victor from New York, Marco and Gino from Rome, Yukio and Mitsuko from Tokyo”, and Cass from Sydney. The reader learns how Cass came to join this group; she met Marco as they both stood in front of Vladimir Nabokov's old dwelling, as they both took a photo of the building, and Marco came to invite her to the literary group.
The meetings take place gradually over a few weeks, with each person sharing their own speak-memory. In between the meetings, Cass visits landmarks with different people, such as going to the Pergamon Museum with Marco, aquarium with Victor and the S-Bahn with Mitsuko.
After every person's speak-memory, they agree to two weeks without a meeting, and then schedule the next one in Cass’ apartment. Gino is strained and tense and makes a speech about how they are all pretentious and snobbish. Victor comforts Gino and the two men move onto the apartment's balcony. The men become angry, although we are not told what is said, and in a single moment, Gino lifts Victor up and drops him over the balcony edge. A caretaker is called and Victor's body is driven to the edge of a river and sunk into the water. Gino commits suicide soon after.
Characters
Victor
At the first meeting, Victor tells his speak-memory of how he was born in New Jersey and of his overprotective mother and his father who worked in an umbrella factory. He tells of how his father died early due to illness, and how Victor's parents were Polish survivors of the Holocaust. In particular, he speaks of the poverty he felt after his father died, the resentment his mother felt towards wealthier women in the neighborhood and how Victor used to chant “umbrella, umbrella” to cope with his nerves.
Mitsuko
At the second meeting, Mitsuko tells her speak-memory. She was born in Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture and her father was a potter. Mitsuko moved to Tokyo to try for a good university and follow her dream of becoming an English translator. She rebelled against her disciplinarian aunt and begun to dress in Lolita fashion. Although she entered university, Mitsuko left to become a rental sister, to help hikikomori come out of their rooms. During this job, she met Yukio, her boyfriend and lover, and they travelled to Berlin together.
Yukio
At the third meeting, Yukio tells his speak-memory. He speaks of how he was traumatized as a boy by the Tokyo subway gas attacks of 1995 in his city, how his older brother constantly taunted him and how he enjoyed playing chess with his grandfather. When Yukio was sixteen, he retreated into his room and his “double-click world”. After four years of his hikikomori life, Mitsuko came as a rental sister to Yukio's house and began to talk to him through the door. After many weeks, Yukio finally left his room and began meeting Mitsuko.
Gino
At the fourth meeting, Gino tells his speak-memory, the last one told in the Oblomov apartment. His father died aged thirty-seven, the sane day when Gino himself was born, from injuries received from the bombing of the Bologna Centrale train station. His mother carried a pained atmosphere with her, raising Gino and his four elder sisters by herself. Gino's father had been an accountant but also with literary aspirations, hence how Gino came to be interested in Nabokov's work. After Gino's speak-memory, Marco mentions that there are thousands of unexploded bombs beneath Berlin, and all six people imagine what Berlin would look like if exploded.
Marco
At the fifth meeting, Marco tells his speak-memory. He was born on the same day of the year as Nabokov and Shakespeare and blamed his epilepsy as the reason his father left their family. Despite his efforts to find him, Marco never could. His uncle in Australia paid for his education and Marco discovered the power of reading quietly while at university. After Marco's story, Victor jokes that these meetings are therapy sessions, leading to tensions between him and Gino, who becomes aggressive in response.
Cass
Finally Cass presents her own speak-memory, telling of how she grew up in Broome in a house which had once been a quarantine station, how she used to fight with her three older brothers and how she was sent to boarding school as a child. Cass went to London to study art, then to Sydney to study literature. It is only after her speak-memory, when Marco and Cass are alone together, that Cass reveals her brother Alexander died during a cyclone when she was twelve.
Reception
A Guide to Berlin has received mixed reviews.
Independent praised Jones' novel and stated that, although the story was slightly heavy, her ability to write reflectively was one of her strengths. The Guardian said that although the novel looked promising, it was disappointing and did not live up to Nabokov's writing standards. The Sydney Morning Herald observed that Jones included many Nabokovian elements in her novel, such as one character having the same birthday as the Russian author
The book has an average rating of 3.43 stars out of 5 on Goodreads.

17232657 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United%20SC | United SC | United Sports Club (formerly known as both Prayag United, and Chirag United) is an Indian professional football club based in Kolkata, West Bengal. It was founded as Eveready Association in 1927. Affiliated with the Indian Football Association (IFA), the club competes in Calcutta Premier Division A, the highest division of Asia's oldest league CFL and also in the I-League 2, the third division of Indian football.
United SC soon emerged as one of the most successful teams from the state in 2010s, after Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. The club previously participated in I-League, which was then top flight of Indian football league system. The club mostly uses Kalyani Stadium as home ground.
History
1927–2009
United SC was originally established in 1927 as Eveready Association Club. Since then, they participated in fewer editions of the Calcutta Football League. The club has a tradition of bringing up local and unknown talents from various parts of Bengal. In 2003, they lifted their first trophy All Airlines Gold Cup, defeating Mohun Bagan 2–1. In 2004, they emerged victorious in the Sikkim Governor's Gold Cup, defeating ANFA XI 4–2 in penalty-shootout. During the 2005–06 season, they participated in Kalinga Cup in Odisha and reached the final, defeating Bangladeshi side Bada Jagarani Sangsad by 4–2. They clinched the title defeating Cuttack SSH 2–0. Eveready Association also reached the final of the 111th edition of IFA Shield but lost 1–5 to Bayern Munich II at the end.
In 2006, the club was renamed as United Sports Club to attract a title sponsor and the football division owned by United Sport Football Team Private Ltd. Later, veteran manager Amal Dutta was roped in as head coach in place of Belgian Philippe De Ridder. With the inflow of sponsorship, the club clinched promotion to the first division of the I-League in 2007. Previously the club has competed in the National Football League (India) before joining the newly formed I-League. Later in 2009, they roped in Subrata Bhattacharya as head coach.
2010–2020
Prayag United participated in the 123rd edition of the Durand Cup in 2010. United emerged champion at the Ambedkar Stadium with a 1–0 tie-break win over JCT FC. For the 2010–11 I-League season, United SC played at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. On Indian Transfer deadline day United SC made headline news by signing India national football team striker Sunil Chhetri until the end of the season. On 3 April 2011, Chhetri scored his first goal for Chirag United against Dempo, however, Dempo won the match 4–2. Chhetri then scored a brace on 29 April 2011 against ONGC to help salvage a 2–2 draw for Chirag. In June 2011 after the I-League season ended, old sponsors Chirag chose to cut ties with United SC and thus Chirag United SC became Prayag United Sports Club. Even though the team has lost a lot in terms of sponsorship money the club is still able to sign and retain their current players.
On 3 August 2011, it was announced that United Sports Club had signed a sponsorship deal with Prayag Group and on 7 August 2011 United Sports Club officially changed their name to Prayag United SC. In October, the club narrowly missed the opportunity of winning the Durand Cup, after a 5–4 defeat to Churchill Brothers. The association, however was cancelled in the summer of the 2013, when the company found itself involved in the chit-fund scam. The name was again changed to United Sports Club.
In November 2012, Dutchman Eelco Schattorie was roped in by the club as their new manager, and he managed his first game in India on 10 November 2012, where he led Prayag to a 10–1 victory over newly promoted United Sikkim. Schattorie won his first and only cup for the side on 20 March 2013 when Prayag United defeated East Bengal in the IFA Shield final 1–0 through a Ranti Martins goal. The following season in the I-League, They thrashed Air India FC by 5–1 margin, and eventually finished the 2012–13 campaign leading Prayag United to a fourth-place finish with 44 points. In that season, they emerged as the runners-up of the 2012 IFA Shield, losing to East Bengal by 4–2 on penalties.
In 2013, the club won their maiden IFA Shield title by defeating East Bengal FC in the final by 1–0 margin. In that competition (Semi-finals), they also defeated a foreign side Deportivo Saprissa of Costa Rica. After the end of 2013–14 I-League season, United finished on tenth position with 26 points in 24 matches and was evicted from I-League for not fulfilling the Asian Football Confederation's club licensing criteria.
On 24 July 2015, it was announced that the club appointed Bino George as the new head coach. United emerged as champions in the 2019–20 Calcutta Premier Division B with 28 points in 14 matches and earned promotion to Division A. In that season, United reached to the semi-finals of the 2020 IFA Shield but lost to George Telegraph SC by 2–1.
2021–present
United SC maintained good form in domestic league, as they moved to championship round of 2022–23 I-League 2. At the end of the round in May, they finished in fifth position.
In June 2023, the Indian Football Association (IFA) announced the merger of both Premier Division A and B of the Calcutta Football League, ahead of its 125th edition, in which United was allowed to compete in Group I.
Crest
The club crest is designed in the shape of a blue and white circle, that includes words United Sports Club in the blue strip. This is to show United Sports Club as the main name of the club. Inside the crest, there is a Peafowl on top of a football.
Colours
While the crest is blue and white, the official colours of United SC are purple and yellow. While still sponsored and owned by Chirag Computers, United Sports Club's official colours were purple and white. The home kit for United SC includes a purple and yellow jersey with purple shorts and white socks while the away kit is all white with red socks.
Ownership
Originally established in 1927 as the Everready Association, the club was renamed as the United Sports Club in 2006, following financial backing by Chirag Computers, a subsidiary of RP Group Company. With the inflow of sponsorship thereafter, the club clinched promotion to the first division of the I-League in 2008.
In 2011, Prayag Group bought the majority stake of the club, and club was rebranded as "Prayag United". Alokesh Kundu and Siddhartha Bhattacharya became General Secretary and Director of United Sports respectively.
Kit manufacturers and shirt sponsors
Stadium
United Sports Club currently plays at the 20,000 seating Kalyani Municipal Corporation Stadium in Kalyani. Though the officials initially said that club would move to Siliguri, they have decided to stay in Kalyani for the 2013–14 season and continued there.
Previously, the club used the iconic 85,000 seater Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata for their home matches of the I-League and Calcutta Football League.

17521825 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpho%20granadensis | Morpho granadensis | Morpho granadensis, the Granada morpho, is a Neotropical butterfly that is primarily found in Costa Rica. Several subspecies and many forms have been described. It is considered, by some authors, to be a subspecies of Morpho deidamia. Morpho granadensis is exceedingly rare in museum collections and the type specimen is from Costa Rica. The species is narrowly restricted in Costa Rica to band of tropical rain forest within 100 to 600 meters elevation along the Caribbean watershed of the Cordillera Central and the adjacent highlands. Several studies show that Morpho granadensis is half as abundant as other species like Morpho peleides.
Etymology
The first specimen collected on the voyage of the Navarra was from Neu Granada.

56813760 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation%20Fungus | Operation Fungus | Operation Fungus was one of the two Special Operations Executive (SOE) exploratory missions to Yugoslav Partisans during the World War Two. Both Operation Fungus and the second mission, Operation Hoathley 1, flew out on the night of 20 Apr 1943 from Derna airfield. The missions' objective was to establish who the Partisans were, who their leader was, and whether and how they could be utilised to further the Allies' military ambitions. They also served as each other's backup, in case one failed to reach the Partisans or fell into enemy's hands.
The mission consisted of an Anglo-Yugoslav British army soldier Alexander Simić-Stevens and two Yugoslav Canadians, Petar Erdeljac and Paul Pavlić, who were recruited by the SOE and trained in clandestine operations at Camp X on the Lake Ontario, near the US border. They carried two radio sets but no written instructions or identifiable uniform or rank. Prior to leaving, they were briefed by William Deakin, of Cairo SOE, who assured them that they would only be sent if the chances of success were realistic.
Background
During the Second World War, both the SOE and its military counterpart, the SIS, operated in Canada and the United States in order to recruit European immigrants as potential agents for deployment in their native countries. The policy was approved as these were often bilingual young men who had escaped economic or political hardship in their homelands. Some had even fought in the Spanish Civil War on the Republican side.
Once selected, they were sent to Camp X for training and then dispatched to their respective regions. Those intended to infiltrate into Yugoslavia were sent to Cairo, in preparation for the parachute drop. Their main task would be the acts of sabotage on German communication lines and transport of oil, raw materials, troops and war materiel.
The drop and the enlargement
The Fungus group was dropped "blind", without a prearranged rendezvous into Croatian region of Lika, near Drežnica. The intention was for them to connect with the local population and try and locate the Partisan troops. Previous SOE intelligence suggested that there were resistance fighters in the area. They were lucky, and shortly after landing they established radio contact with SOE Cairo HQ, confirming that they have reached the Partisan Command for Croatia at Brinje. Erdeljac was immediately recognised as an old comrade from Spain by the Croat commander Ivan Rukavina. Simić-Stevens on the other hand was thoroughly questioned by the political commissar, Vladimir Bakarić.
Once the Partisan leader, Tito, was informed via radio that the two British missions had arrived, unexpected and uninvited, he instructed the Partisan commanders to look after them and ensure that they did not "undertake some provocation which would compromise the Partisans in the eyes of the international public". This was in response to a previous mission, Operation Hydra, which resulted in death of two British officers, Maj Terence Atherton and Sgt Patrick O'Donovan, most likely at the hand of a royalist Chetnik in April/May 1942. In fact, Simić-Stevens, had been Atherton's assistant editor on the South Slav Herald for five years in pre-war Belgrade. For the other two members, who claimed Canadian Communist Party membership, Tito consulted the Comintern, who advised caution.
Simić-Stevens was allowed to contact Cairo regularly albeit under supervision from 28 Apr 1943. The HQ had asked if the Partisans would receive a British sabotage team in order to disrupt the railway lines. After a positive response, the first uniformed British mission to the Partisans arrived on 18 May 1943. The group consisted of Maj William Jones a 50-year-old Canadian, a Scots Fusilier Capt Anthony Hunter and Sgt Ronald Jephson, an RAF radio operator. Jones, a First World War veteran, previously wounded and with the use of only one eye quickly became popular with the local troops.
Activities
Fungus team quickly became a radio-relay station between Tito's HQ in Montenegrin mountains and the SOE's Cairo HQ who were keen to expand the co-operation. On 17 May 1943, Tito agreed to receive a British mission at Partisan Supreme Headquarters (SHQ) and requested the RAF bomb Axis airfields and garrisons surrounding his troops. The mission, led by Deakin, was named Operation Typical and landed at Durmitor mountains on 28 May 1943, just as the Axis troops were tightening the encirclement of the SHQ, prior to the final push of their Operation Schwarz.
Around the same time, Jones went to Slovenia to focus on sabotaging the Ljubljana-Trieste railway, a strategic line of great importance for the Italian front which offered many good targets in shape of bridges and viaducts. Hunter remained in Croatia, commanding a patrol of L.R.D.G. Later, he moved onto Montenegro as a British Liaison Officer (BLO) to Peko Dapčević, the commander of the Second Proletarian Division. He was most likely the "British officer" who witnessed the Italian Venezia Division surrender to Dapčević at Berane in Sep 1943. He was killed later in Normandy landings.

Opening narration
Plot
While investigating reports about a UFO, state troopers Dan Perry and Bill Padgett find evidence that something crashed in a frozen pond and its occupant fled to a nearby diner called the Hi-Way Cafe. Upon arriving, the troopers find a bus parked outside. Inside the diner, they find the cook Haley, bus driver Olmstead, and his passengers: dancer Ethel McConnell, outlandish old man Avery, businessman Ross, and two married couples.
The troopers announce a suspected alien may be among them and asks for everyone to identify themselves. After introducing himself, Olmstead states he was forced to stop at the diner due to the snowstorm outside. After learning the bridge ahead is closed, the troopers tell the passengers they may have to wait until morning pending an inspection by the county engineer. Olmstead states he counted six passengers on initial boarding, but the troopers point out seven in the diner. Haley claims the diner was empty before the bus.
Following initial debate, Ethel suggests the couples should be cleared of suspicion as the spouses know each other. Both couples readily agree, but begin suspecting each other. When asked for her ID, Ethel claims it was sent ahead with her luggage. Despite this, Olmstead vouches for her, admitting he did notice her. As Avery jokes and Ross complains about not being able to make an important meeting, tensions rise after the jukebox flashes and the tabletop sugar dispensers explode. The troopers then receive a phone call telling them the bridge is safe to cross. Olmstead is concerned about its instability, but the troopers assuage his fears and everyone leaves after paying Haley.
Sometime later, Ross returns alone and explains the bridge collapsed, with no survivors other than himself. When Haley asks how Ross survived, the latter explains that everything that happened earlier, such as the jukebox and phone call, were illusions, and reveals himself as the alien by displaying three arms. He says that he is a scout sent ahead of his arriving fleet to ensure Earth is ready for Martian colonization. However, Haley reveals that he is a scout from Venus, and that his colonists have intercepted the Martian fleet, displaying a third eye on his forehead hidden by his cap.

27386478 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert-Parent%20House | Lambert-Parent House | The Lambert-Parent House is a historic house in the village of Union City, Ohio, United States. Built in 1881, it was initially the home of George Lambert, who founded multiple major businesses in Union City and participated in the automobile manufacturing firm founded by his brother John. Built of brick on a stone foundation and topped with a slate roof, it is a fine example of the Italianate style of architecture and one of the most prominent structures in Union City. Among its most distinctive architectural elements are its ornate cornices and its tall, narrow windows.
In 1980, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places both because of its well-preserved architecture and its connection to George Lambert. The name "Lambert-Parent" is derived from its builder and from the Parent family, who were business associates and his relatives by marriage.

9968796 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal%20Palace%20F.C.%20%281861%29 | Crystal Palace F.C. (1861) | Crystal Palace F.C. was an amateur football club formed in 1861 who contributed to the development of association football during its formative years. They were founder members of the Football Association in 1863, and competed in the first ever FA Cup competition in 1871–72.
The club disbanded around 1876, its last entry listing in the Football Annual appeared in the 1875 edition. However, the current professional Crystal Palace F.C. claims to be a continuation of the original club, although this has been disputed by football historians.
History
Formation
In 1854, Queen Victoria opened the new Crystal Palace Exhibition building in South London near to Sydenham Hill. The building had gained fame in 1851 when it housed the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, London. The Crystal Palace Park, which surrounded the site of the exhibition building, officially opened in 1856, and incorporated various sports facilities including a cricket ground. The first Crystal Palace football club was formed here in 1861. Many of its original players were members of Crystal Palace Cricket Club founded in 1857.
Grounds
The club initially played in Crystal Palace Park using the cricket field. The first game recorded as being played at the Crystal Palace was on 5 April 1862 against Forest Football Club (who later became Wanderers F.C.). For the 1864–65 and 1865–66 seasons, the club moved and played on a field behind the Crooked Billet pub in Penge. In 1866–67 they were homeless, and only three games can be found recorded in the sporting press. A match report from December 1867 states that the club "last year appeared likely to become extinct, in consequence of the loss of their ground at Penge and the seeming impossibility of obtaining another to suit them." The same report states that the club would make "a fresh start… on part of the Crystal Palace Park Cricket Ground." The final game played at the Crystal Palace was against Reigate Priory F.C. on 9 January 1875. All the games for the remainder of the season and in 1875–76 were played away from home.
Players
The Football Annuals between 1868 and 1875 record the club having between 60 and 70 members. The players were typically wealthy upper-middle-class businessmen and had the leisure time to participate in sport.
Douglas Allport played for the club over fourteen seasons and in that time acted as club captain, treasurer, secretary and FA representative. Walter Cutbill (1843-1915) and Arthur Cutbill (1847-1929) were prominent members and both former pupils at Forest School, which was a leading school in the early development of the game.
Walter Dorling (1855-1925), the stepbrother of Isabella Beeton, played for the club between 1872 and 1875. Another player, Penge-born George Rutland Barrington Fleet (1853-1922), stage name Rutland Barrington, was later to gain fame as a star of Gilbert and Sullivan productions. Francis Luscombe (1849-1926), who captained England at rugby, played for the club between 1869 and 1871.
Committee member and goalkeeper, Croydon-born wine merchant James Turner (1839-1922) became the second treasurer of the Football Association after its formation, and various Palace players were influential committee-members of the FA during its formative decade.
When international football commenced in 1870 and 1872, players from Crystal Palace featured in both the ‘unofficial’ and the official versions of the first-ever international games.
Four players appeared for the England national team in the full internationals against Scotland between 1872 and 1876:
Charles Chenery (Forward) (3 caps) – the earliest known contemporaneous international football diarist. Chenery maintained a diary between 1 January 1874 and 19 June 1875. The entries cover football and cricket games including his final England game against Scotland in 1874. He was the only England player to appear in the first three internationals.
Alexander Morten (Goalkeeper) (1 cap) Morten is the oldest player ever to make a debut for England (aged 41).
Arthur Savage (Goalkeeper) (1 cap)
Charles Eastlake Smith (Forward) (1 cap)
Support of Association Rules
The club became founder members of the Football Association in 1863, and along with Wanderers F.C., Barnes F.C. and the N.N. Club, were described by Charles W. Alcock as being the four clubs who formed ‘the backbone of the Association game’ in its early years. Delegates of the club attended every AGM of the FA for its first crucial decade, during which time the Laws of the Game began to evolve. In 1867, just six delegates attended the AGM, including Crystal Palace’s representative Walter Cutbill who opposed the adoption of two major Sheffield Rules laws. Proposals to adopt rouges (secondary goals either side of the main goal) and the abolition of the offside rule were both defeated.
Creation of the FA Cup
At the Football Association Committee meeting held on 16 October 1871 to discuss the creation of the FA Cup competition, the Crystal Palace captain and secretary Douglas Allport (1838-1915), proposed the formation of a committee to draw up the rules required for the competition. He was also part of the delegation which selected and purchased the trophy.
Palace competed in the first ever FA Cup competition in 1871–72, reaching the semi-final stage, where they lost to the Royal Engineers after a replay. This was technically the first FA Cup replay, as rule 8 of the competition allowed both teams to go through in the event of a draw, and Palace had taken advantage of that rule after draws with Hitchin F.C. and Wanderers F.C. - the latter tie after playing an innovative 2-1-7 formation, with two full-backs to cope with the extra threat from Wanderers, rather than the traditional 1-1-8 or new 1-2-7 formations. The club also played in the FA Cup over the next four seasons, but never reached as far again.
Demise of the club
After the club’s last recorded home game at the Crystal Palace on 9 January 1875, a 5–0 victory over Reigate Priory F.C., sixteen away games followed, including the final recorded match against Barnes F.C. on 18 December 1875. A fixture arranged for 4 March 1876, against Westminster School at Vincent Square, did not take place because of "the inability of the Palatians to raise a team."
Until the end of the 1875–76 season, players were still showing Crystal Palace as their club of origin for representative matches, but the following season club captain Charles Eastlake Smith was appearing for Wanderers F.C..
It was the loss of a ground for a second time that resulted in the club being disbanded in 1876. There was a failed attempt to restart the club in January 1883. A team playing under the name "Crystal Palace Rovers" competed against Pilgrims F.C. in Walthamstow. The Athletic News match report stated that this was an attempt to revive "the past glories of the old Crystal Palace Club which, in its day, was one of the strongest metropolitan societies, but eventually came to grief owing to a misunderstanding with the Palace authorities about their ground."
Link to present-day club
The current professional Crystal Palace F.C. claims to be a continuation of the original club, after two club historians asserted a lineage, through the Crystal Palace Company ownership. This has led to claims by the club that Crystal Palace should be recognised as the oldest professional football club in the world in existence today. This claim has been disputed by other football historians, and also rejected by the Football Association after a detailed review by the National Football Museum. The FA told The Times in April 2022: "Amongst those historians, the broad consensus is that there is not a clear, substantial and continuous link from the Crystal Palace club founded in 1861 to that founded in 1905. Therefore, we will continue to recognise both the 1861 and 1905 foundation dates of the clubs named Crystal Palace."
Colours
The club gave its colours as blue and white jerseys, with dark blue knickerbockers and stockings. Although there is no record of the jersey pattern, the usual pattern in the era was in hoops, unless otherwise stated.

3583008 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacandon%20Jungle | Lacandon Jungle | The Lacandon Jungle (Spanish: Selva Lacandona) is an area of rainforest which stretches from Chiapas, Mexico, into Guatemala. The heart of this rainforest is located in the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas near the border with Guatemala in the Montañas del Oriente region of the state. Although much of the jungle outside the reserve has been cleared, the Lacandon is still one of the largest montane rainforests in Mexico. It contains 1,500 tree species, 33% of all Mexican bird species, 25% of all Mexican animal species, 56% of all Mexican diurnal butterflies and 16% of all Mexico's fish species.
The Lacandon in Chiapas is also home to a number of important Mayan archaeological sites including Palenque, Yaxchilan and Bonampak, with numerous smaller sites which remain partially or fully unexcavated. This rainforest, especially the area inside the Biosphere Reserve, is a source of political tension, pitting the EZLN or Zapatistas and their indigenous allies who want to farm the land against international environmental groups and the Lacandon Maya, the original indigenous group of the area and the one that holds the title to most of the lands in Montes Azures.
Environment
The jungle has approximately 1.9 million hectares stretching from southeast Chiapas into northern Guatemala and into the southern Yucatán Peninsula. The Chiapas portion is located on the Montañas del Oriente (Eastern Mountains) centered on a series of canyonlike valleys called the Cañadas, between smaller mountain ridges oriented from northwest to southeast. It is bordered by the Guatemalan border on two sides with Comitán de Domínguez to the southwest and the city of Palenque to north. Dividing the Chiapas part of the forest from the Guatemalan side is the Usumacinta River, which is the largest river in Mexico and the seventh largest in the world based on volume of water.
The core of the Chiapas forest is the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, but it also includes some other protected areas such as Nahá–Metzabok, Bonampak, Yaxchilan, Chan-Kin, Lacan-Tun, and the communal reserve of La Cojolita.
The area has a mostly hot and humid climate (Köppen Amg) with most rain falling from summer into fall, with an average of 2300 to 2600 mm per year. There is a short dry season from March to May when as little as thirty mm falls. The average annual temperature s 24.7C. The abundance of rain supports a large number of small rivers and streams many of which are fast moving and have waterfalls, such as the Agua Azul and the Lacanja waterfalls. The soils of the area are mostly clay and lacking phosphorus but sufficient to support a large diversity of plant species.
Despite the fact that much of the area has been reduced to a patchwork of clearings for cattle ranches and peasant communities, the Lacandon contains some of the most extensive and best preserved remnants of lower montane rainforest in Mexico and Central America. The best conserved area is within the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, which has about 290,000 hectares of the Reserve in good condition. The Lacandon is the best known of Mexico's rainforest areas because of the attention it has received in the press and efforts by international organizations to protect what is left of it. The Lacandon is one of the most biodiverse rainforests in the world, with as much as 25% of Mexico's total species diversity. The predominant native vegetation is perennial high rainforest with trees that can grow to an average height of thirty meters and often to fifty or sixty including Guatteria anomala, Ceiba pentandra, Swietenia macrophylla, Terminalia amazonia and Ulmus mexicana. Mammoth guanacaste trees shrouded in vines and bromeliads among clear running streams, enormous ferns, palms and wild elephant's ear plants can still be seen. One of the most common plants is Cynodon plectostachyus, a non-native grass species introduced as a pasture crop for livestock. It has 1,500 tree species, 33% of all Mexican bird species, 25% of all Mexican animal species, 44% of all Mexican diurnal butterflies and 10% of all Mexico's fish species. The jungle contains many endangered species such as the red macaw, the eagle, the tapir, the spider monkey, the howler monkeys, and the swamp crocodile. Jaguars are reported from this forest.
Its size and biodiversity has designated it as a "biodiversity hotspot" by the Washington DC based environmental group Conservation International and under the Puebla-Panama Plan. It is part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, which aims to link similar sites from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec down through Central America for conservation purposes. This is especially true for those "hotspots" located in remote trans-border tropical forests.
There are two major attractions within the Chiapas portion of this rainforest, the El Chiflón Waterfall and the Gruta de San Francisco cave. El Chiflón is located 53 km west of Comitán de Domínguez formed by the San Vicente Rivers. The water fall from a height of over seventy meters surrounded by steeply sloped hills. El Chiflón is preceded by two smaller falls called Suspiro and Ala del Angel, which are about six meters in height. A cascade after it is called the Velo de Novia. The Gruta de San Francisco is located in the La Trinitaria municipality near the community of Santa María. The cave has a number of chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites with capricious shapes, formed by the dripping of water through the cavity. These caves were considered sacred in the pre Hispanic period as passages to the underworld. The cave is also home to millions of bats which emerge at night to feed in the surrounding jungle.
Archeological sites
The jungle is also home to some of Mexico's most numerous and impressive archaeological sites, all of which belong to the Mayan civilization. The most important of these sites are Palenque, Bonampak and Yaxchilan, but there are many more sites and ruins that still lie unexcavated under the vegetation. Palenque lies on the edge of the Lacandon, where the Eastern Mountains meet the Gulf Coast Plains. It is not the largest Mayan archaeological site, but it has some well-preserved sculpture and architecture the culture produced. Major structures include the Temple of Inscriptions, the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Cross; however, only a small fraction of it has been excavated. Away from the ceremonial center and on the way to the site museum are smaller buildings around the Otolum stream with a small waterfall.
Yaxchilan flourished in the 8th and 9th centuries. The site contains extensive ruins, with palaces and temples bordering a large plaza upon a terrace above the Usumacinta River. The architectural remains extend across the higher terraces and the hills to the south of the river, overlooking both the river itself and the lowlands beyond. Yaxchilan is known for the large quantity of excellent sculpture at the site, such as the monolithic carved stelae and the narrative stone reliefs carved on lintels spanning the temple doorways. Over 120 inscriptions have been identified on the various monuments from the site. The major groups are the Central Acropolis, the West Acropolis and the South Acropolis. The South Acropolis occupies the highest part of the site. The site is aligned with relation to the Usumacinta River, at times causing unconventional orientation of the major structures, such as the two ballcourts. The site is relatively natural with howling monkeys, bats, toucans and other wildlife to be seen in and around the buildings.
The city of Bonampak features exceptionally well-preserved Maya murals, depicting Mayan clothing, rituals, games, food and other aspects of life from that time. The realistically rendered paintings depict human sacrifices, musicians and scenes of the royal court. The name means “painted murals”. It is centered on a large plaza and has a stairway that leads to the Acropolis. There are also a number of notable Maya stelae.
Toniná is a set of progressively smaller terraces going up a mountain instead of a cluster of buildings. Many of the stones are carved including those of residences belonging to various social strata. The site was discovered in the 17th century and is still being excavated. There is a site museum including photographs of what it looked like before the recent excavations, completely covered in jungle.
Tenam Puente is on the west side of the Lacandon near Comitán de Domínguez. The site was initially built on a hill overlooking the area as a fortification. It contains about 160 buildings with thick stone walls with access by ramps which act as buttresses. The main areas in the site are the Mesoamerican ballcourt and the Acropolis.
Lagartero is located 74 km south of Comitán in La Trinitaria. The site contains various mounds covering eight hectares with the largest containing burials. Excavations of burials have yielded clay figures, multicolored pottery shards and musical instruments. One area has been determined to be a Mesoamerican ball court and another as the Acropolis, for the ruling elite. About two-thirds of the buildings have been determined to be for government or religious purposes. Religious structures contain a number of stelae and low reliefs of figures with detailed faces. The site is surrounded by the Lagos de Colón or Columbus Lakes.
Other ruins include those at Lacanja.
People
The population of the area is mostly subsistence peasants. These include indigenous groups of Chiapas such as the Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Ch'ol, Tojolabal and Lacandon Maya as well as non- indigenous. However, except for the Lacandon Maya, almost all of the population has migrated to the Lacandon, especially during the 20th century on.
Of the local inhabitants of the Lacandon Jungle, those living just south of Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve belong to three ethnic groups, living in four villages and one town: Lacandon Maya, Tzeltal (another Maya ethnicity) and Mestizo. The Tzeltal are the most numerous (15,000) and live in the town of , they immigrated into the jungle from the Chiapas highlands in the 1970s to begin farms, often maize, beans or chili peppers, primarily organised in the ejido system. The Lacandon number some 550; they survive from slash-and-burn agriculture, growing much the same crops as the Tzeltal, as well as tourism and collecting the leaves of wild Chamaedorea palms for the cut flower industry. There are two very small Mestizo hamlets of 500 people in total. These people are also farmers, but they also keep livestock such as cattle and pigs for the local market, and grow crops like coffee and cacao, besides the typical crops.
Early history
Until the early 18th century, the Lacandon Jungle and bordering areas of Guatemala were occupied by the now-extinct Lakandon Ch'ol., who lived along the tributaries of the upper Usumacinta River and the foothills of the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes. Most of the Lakandon Ch'ol were forcibly relocated to the Huehuetenango area of Guatemala by the Spanish in the early 18th century. The resettled Lakandon Ch'ol were soon absorbed into the local Maya populations there and ceased to exist as a separate ethnicity. Prior to the Spanish conquest, the Xocmo were a Cholan-speaking group; they occupied the remote forest somewhere to the east of the Lacandon. The Xocmo were never conquered and escaped repeated Spanish attempts to locate them; their eventual fate is unknown but they may be ancestors of the modern Lacandon people. After the fall of the Itza capital Nojpetén to the Spanish invaders in 1697, a mix of Itza, Kejache and Kowoj refugees fled into the Lacandon Jungle, where they too became the ancestors of the modern Lacandon people.
People and hunting
A study from 2004 focusing on the use of wild fauna by inhabitants of the jungle found that all local ethnic groups hunt. A .22 rifle is the most popular hunting tool. There was rather little differences between hunting practices between different ethnicities, but in terms of meat extracted per hunter, Lacandon were the most successful, Mestizo extracted half that, and Tzeltal hunters only took in a tenth of that of Lacandon hunters. Compared in terms of harvest rates, meat extracted per year per km2, Mestizo hunted more—this is because they stayed closer to their homes and hunted relatively larger-bodied animals. Mestizo also receive much less governmental support than Native Americans, which is seen as a factor influencing harvest rates. Lacandon people were the richest, and perhaps therefore spent the least effort hunting in terms of meat extracted per km2. In total, 51 species were hunted and 8160kg/year of meat was extracted from the forest a year of the 32 most commonly hunted species. There were very few full-time hunters, hunting was not considered a profitable profession; hunting is practised opportunistically. Those who hunted more often, were more likely from a poorer family. Hunters almost never sell the meat, it is used for personal or familial subsistence. Sometimes tourists or military men stationed in the area will buy objects such as claws, hides, talons, macaw feathers, etc., but this is uncommon; hunters are cognisant of the laws and afraid of fines and having their guns confiscated. Most hunting occurs communal forests in the vicinity of farms, or on farmland, only rarely do some people venture into the reserve to hunt. Because few people can afford to buy meat at the market regularly, hunting is probably an important source of animal protein for local people in terms of dietary requirements. Nonetheless, only 0.5 to 4.5kg of game meat is eaten per person per year, depending on how one calculates this, which is far below that of hunting communities elsewhere in Latin America. This may be due to depletion of the fauna, but may also be due to better participation in the market economy by rural people in Mexico, and access to cheaper and better available domestic meat.
Species hunted were similar to those hunted in other communities in Latin America, but monkeys were never or rarely hunted. Lacandon once ate monkeys, up until the late 1980s, but Mayan cultural attitudes to game meat in general have shifted, perhaps with greater availability of canned goods and domestic meat. Immigrants from the highlands or elsewhere find monkeys to look too uncomfortably like little people to eat. Paca meat, prized for its taste and fat content, was commonly hunted by all ethnic groups, appearing to be capable of tolerating hunting pressure and habitat disruptions. Ungulates were the most hunted group of animals, with about two thirds of the biomass extracted being from these animals. Tapirs and white-lipped peccaries were becoming rarer according to the hunters, while other animals appeared to be suffering hunting pressure and habitat change without apparent effects on population.
Lacandon people
The Lacandon are descendants of the ancient Maya. Since the 16th century, they have been able to survive as a culture by living deep in the rainforest, with many communities out of contact with the rest of the world until the 20th century. Before the Conquest, the Lacandon dominated about a million hectares of these lands, but since the early 20th century other people, mostly Maya from other areas of Chiapas, have begun to colonise the forest. This has altered their lifestyle and worldview. Today the Lacandon Maya are primarily found in three villages called Naja, Lacanja Chansayab and Metzobok. near the ruins of Bonampak and Yaxchilan. Local lore states that the gods resided here when they lived on earth.
The traditional dress an undyed tunic called a xikul. Some Lacandon still wear traditional clothing but others use modern clothes and conveniences as well. Traditional Lacandon shelters are huts made with fronds and wood with an earthen floor, but this has mostly given way to modern structures. The Lacandon Maya have supported themselves for centuries practicing slash-and-burn agriculture called milpa, which can be seen as a method of "swidden agroforestry". A part of the primary forest is destroyed by burning it down, crops are temporarily planted, and the field is then abandoned after the soil fertility declines. After a cycle of largely natural afforestation taking 7 to 30 years, the soil fertility will be restored, and the jungle can be burnt again to grow crops. According to Diemont, this type of farming could be useful in restoring forests.
In the mid 20th century, Franz and Trudy Blom were one of the first Europeans to make sustained contact with the Lacondons since the Spanish conquest. For the rest of their lives, the Bloms worked to publicize the plight of these people and by the time she died in 1999, Trudy Blom had created a collection of over 55,000 photographs of both the people and the Lacandon Jungle. The couple's efforts, along with those of Lacandon activist Chan Kin, have spurred the Lacandons to work to preserve their land and culture. This has included developing ecotourism with cabins, rafting, horseback riding and more. While there are concerns that ecotourism will make the jungle a commodity and cause changes in Lacandon culture, it also helps to keep younger generations from migrating out of the area. Today, the Lacandon Maya numbers have increased and are estimated to be anywhere from 600 to 1000 people in about a dozen villages.
Deforestation
There has been a large amount of deforestation in the Lacandon forest in Mexico. In 1990, a World Bank study declared that the following decade would make or break the Lacandon Selva's chances for survival as the rainforest had been "reduced to the minimum size essential for the integrity of its ecosystem". Most of the remaining primary forest is within the protected areas. Of the remaining forest, about 5% was still lost per year in the early 2000s. The clearance of the jungle had been such that a journalist claimed in 2003 that satellite photos show the Mexico-Guatemalan border where the deforestation on the Mexican side stops. As of 2019, satellite images show that the forest has shrunk by 70% over the past half century.
This deforestation began in the mid 19th century with the arrival of loggers and chicleros, who tapped certain trees for sap to make chewing gum. By the 1940s, much of the old growth forest had already been destroyed. Illegal logging was still a serious concern in 2002. Twenty one municipalities in Chiapas had significant problems with illegal logging, most of which are in or near the Montes Azules Reserve. While migration of people into the lowland rainforests had been going on since the 1930s, it accelerated in the 1960s and 1970s, as there was high population growth in the highlands areas. The government encouraged people, especially Native Americans, to move to the lowlands and claim lands there. During the 20th century, the population of municipalities in this area, such as Altamirano, Las Margaritas, Ocosingo and Palenque has risen from 11,000 in 1920 to over 376,000 in 2000.
Much of the destruction of the rainforest has occurred through slash and burn farming, which allows for little to no fallow time and creates soil erosion, according to Diemont.
The little nutrition there is in the soil is depleted by erosion caused by heavy tropical rainfall after logging and agriculture. As of 2002, it is estimated about two thirds of the Lacandon outside the main biosphere reserve has been converted into pasture or cropland. Once this land has been used for ranching, it will not revert to rainforest quickly after it has been abandoned, because the soil becomes compacted by the trampling of livestock. According to one journalist, grass for pasture is particularly problematic because after it takes hold, it outcompetes natural vegetation. He believes deforestation causes streams to dry up as evaporation rates rise from the lack of shade.
In the latter 1970s, the government changed its policies in regards to the Lacandon, establishing the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve. It evicted some squatters, and granted the tiny group of Lacandones ownership of huge tracts in the reserve. That caused resentment in the other Native American communities, and would be a factor in the Zapatista uprising two decades later. However, even with the establishment of the reserve, the government did not sufficiently protect it, and many squatters made their way onto the lands, creating patchworks of hamlets. In 2002 there were only about twenty forest rangers for the reserve.
Protected areas
The Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve was established in 1978 as Mexico's first biosphere reserve. This reserve covers part of the Lacandon Jungle, covering 331,200 hectares, one fifth of the original rainforest in Chiapas. It obtained some finance in 1994 from the Global Environment Facility. It is recognized by the UN Environment Program for its global biological and cultural significance. Its management plan endeavors to strike a balance between habitat conservation and the demand for research into its vast genetic resources.
In 1992 the 61,874-hectare Lacan-Tun Biosphere Reserve was designated, adjoining the original biosphere reserve to the east.
Other Mexican protected areas in the Lacandon Jungle include:
Nahá–Metzabok Biosphere Reserve (134.53 km2) protects two natural lake systems and surrounding forested areas.
Chan-Kin Flora and Fauna Protection Area (121.85 km2) protects an enclave of lowland rain forest between Lacan-Tun reserve and the Usumacinta River.
Palenque National Park (17.72 km2) protects the ancient city of Palenque and the surrounding rainforest.
Bonampak (43.57 km2) and Yaxchilan (26.21 km2) archeological sites are designated natural monuments.
There is a significant difference in vegetation between the reserve areas and the jungle outside of it. However, areas of the reserve have been damaged as it is carved in disconnected patches. In many areas, tapirs, howler monkeys and parrots no longer occur. According to Conservation International, there are 140 peasant settler communities in the Biosphere Reserve and 225 including those in other protected areas in the Lacandon. All but thirty two of these have a certain amount of legal protection as they were registered as ejidos before the Reserve was created. Since the Reserve was created, the thirty two have been in limbo, with some efforts by the government to force them to move with promises of other lands in Chiapas. However, these farmers have resisted with support of the EZLN. EZLN believes the evictions are a pretence to dislodge them from their base of support and the turn over the Lacandon to corporate exploitation as the area is rich in timber, oil, hydroelectric and genetic resources.
The Reserve and the Zapatistas
The EZLN, commonly known as the Zapatistas, came to the forefront of Chiapas politics in the mid 1990s. Since then, their bases of support have mostly come from indigenous communities in the settled areas of the Lacandon Jungle and the areas around San Cristobal de las Casas. While migration to the Lacandon had been occurring earlier in the 20th century, it accelerated even more in the 1990s, with the Zapatistas encouraging people to seize “unoccupied jungle.” For this reason, the Zapatistas do not have the support of the Lacandon Mayas, who have also feared for their villages’ and people's safety when confronted by the EZLN.
The Zapatistas claim that as indigenous farmers, they are the best protectors of the rainforest, and that they want to turn Montes Azules into an “Indian Farmers’ Reserve”, a patchwork of farms and jungle.
This pits them against the Lacandon Maya and environmentalist groups who state that the jungle cannot take any more farming. They also state that the agricultural methods do not help alleviate the migrants’ economic system as they can only farm a plot for a couple of harvests before the soil is depleted.
The Zapatistas have accused environmentalists of siding with the government and corporate interests, and the Lacandons are too small in number to challenge the other groups, despite being the legal owners of much of the reserve. There were some attempts to evict settlers from the Reserve, especially from the thirty two undocumented settlements, but this was met by fierce resistance by the Zapatistas.
In 2005, some Zapatista allied communities decided to relocate on their own, while still opposing forced resettlement. These included the settlements of Primero de Enero, Santa Cruz, Ocho de Octubre and San Isidro, with all moved to areas outside the Reserve. Since then in a communiqué, EZLN leader Subcomandante Marcos warned against trying force the removal of any Zapatista allied community.
In 2008, Zapatistas and allied prohibited the entrance of federal police and army into ejidos such as La Garrucha, San Alejandro and Hermenegildo Galena to search for marijuana fields, claiming that these forces are outside their jurisdiction to do so. However, as late as 2010, illegal settlements, new and old, were being dislodged by police and military forces and moved to areas outside the conservation zones. In 2011, EZLN issued another warning that operations against these settlements pose a threat to indigenous people in the state. They and certain NGOs such as Maderas del Pueblo de Sureste oppose programs such as Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), claiming it commodifies indigenous culture, giving a commercial value to it vis-à-vis the environment. One aspect of the REDD program is to pay local ejido or other communal land owners to keep parts of their lands in a wild state and/or participate in reforestation of them. In 2011, over 600 communal farmers from Frontera Corozal, a Ch'ol town on the border with Guatemala entered into an agreement with the government to grow forests on their lands in exchange for payment under the REDD+ plan. The communal land owners created seven reserves on their lands. In exchange, each member of the communal organization received 2,000 pesos as a first payment, brought personally by the state's governor, Juan Sabines Guerrero. The agreement calls for monthly payments as well as assistance in creating tourism opportunities and groves of oil palms on non-reserve lands.
Biopiracy
There are some researchers collecting plants in the reserve. One of these is a station run by Conservation International to map the flora and fauna of Montes Azules. Mexican agribusiness enterprise Grupo Pulsar also has research stations in Chiapas. Researchers are often looked upon with suspicion and considered to be thieves by many in indigenous communities. Zapatistas have raised concerns that the pressure to explore the area's natural resources is biopiracy, i.e. the patenting of wild plants and animals at the expense of native peoples.
Various groups with cultural and environmental interest in the area have generally opposed research into the rainforest's biodiversity. In 2002 a coalition of traditional Maya healers called Chiapas Council of Traditional Indigenous Midwives and Healers managed to get a U.S. funded program into indigenous herbal cures cancelled. In the same year, a venture between the Mexican government and the U.S. firm Diversa was cancelled as well due to public pressure, causing the Mexican attorney general to state that the agreement with the national university UNAM was invalid.
Oil
Rock formations with oil deposits have been found around the Lacandon area in both Mexico and Guatemala. There has been some exploration and pumping, and known reserves are largely depleted, however it seems likely that there is far more. Some of the rock formations in Zapatista-held areas of the forest show great promise as a potential field according to US accountants, but many geologists and the Mexican government have insisted there is little promise of oil in these areas. The Zapatistas claim that the government is hiding the presence of oil in the area as they try to force them and the indigenous people who support them off the lands, after which they can extract without compensation.

3484874 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libcwd | Libcwd | Libcwd is a C++ library, written by Carlo Wood, to add run-time debugging support for C++ applications, particularly for code developed with the GNU Compiler Collection. The functionality that the library adds to an application can be divided into three categories:
Ostream-based debug output.
Run-time access to debug information.
Run-time access to memory allocation administration.
Supported platforms
Although the library code itself attempts to be strictly ISO C++, and conform to POSIX as much as possible, in order to achieve points 2 and 3, rather specialized code is needed, specific to the architecture the application runs on. Libcwd restricts itself to a narrow architecture for this reason: It has to be compiled with the GNU compiler, and demands the object code to be 32 or 64 bits ELF and the compiler generated debug information to be DWARF-2.
Compiling libcwd results in two libraries: one that is thread-safe (libcwd_r) and a version (libcwd) without thread support. The thread-safe version depends on even more architecture specific details (namely, the GNU C library). As a result, a full featured libcwd is basically only suitable for development on Linux platforms.
However, libcwd may be configured to drop thread support, memory allocation debugging and/or reading the ELF and DWARF-2 debugging information—until only the ostream debug output support is left. This way one can use it to develop an application on linux until it is robust, and still have the debug output on other (POSIX) platforms, even though a full-fledged libcwd isn't available there—provided no thread-safety is needed for the debug output on those platforms: two or more threads writing debug output to the same ostream might cause a rather messy output where the output of one line starts in the middle of another, without thread-support.
Ostream based debug output
Libcwd provides several macros that are easily extensible, allowing the user to basically do anything that one can normally do with ostreams. However, if one just wants to write debug output, two macros will suffice: Dout and DoutFatal. The latter is to be used for fatal debug output, after which the application needs to be terminated. For example:
if (error)
DoutFatal(dc::fatal, "An unrecoverable error occurred.");
The difference with Dout is that when the application is compiled without debug code, the macro Dout() is replaced with nothing, while DoutFatal() is replaced with code that prints its output and terminates (in a way that the user can define).
Simple debug output is written by using Dout, as follows:
Dout(dc::notice, "called from " << location_ct(CALL_ADDR));
where the second parameter is allowed to contain '<<' to write any type or object to the debug output stream (a location_ct in this case).
The 'dc::fatal' and 'dc::notice' are debug 'channels', which can be turned on or off. The user can create and use any number of custom debug channels, in addition to the default ones. It is also possible to create more than just the default debug output ostream object 'libcw_do', and thus to write output to more than one ostream. Each debug object, representing an ostream, can in turn be separately turned on and off.
Run-time access to debug information
This information includes the possibility to look up source file and line number locations, and function names. As a result, it is for example possible to write debug output that prints who the caller is of a given function, or to print the name of the current function, even if that function is a complex template. For example,
PERSIST : PersistXML::serialize_builtin<std::string>("M_hostname", @0xbfc1f214) is called.
Run-time access to memory allocation administration
Libcwd keeps an internal administration of memory allocations. This allows one to do things like memory leak checking, printing out an overview of allocated memory (in a very powerful way, allowing one to filter on about anything: regular expressions for library names, function names (demangled or not) and/or time intervals during which allocations were made).
The library also provides a few global functions that can be called from within a debugger, like gdb, allowing the developer to quickly find out which allocation a given pointer is pointing at. For example,
(gdb) call cwdebug_alloc(0x8a19450)
0x8a19450 points inside a memory allocation that starts at 0x8a19448
start: 0x8a19448

12069024 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat%20of%20arms%20of%20Bavaria | Coat of arms of Bavaria | The coat of arms of Bavaria has greater and lesser versions.
It was introduced by law fully by 5 June 1950:
Meaning
The modern coat of arms was designed by Eduard Ege, following heraldic traditions, in 1946.
First Quarter (The Golden Lion): At the dexter chief, sable, a lion rampant Or, armed and langued gules. This represents the administrative region of Upper Palatinate. It is identical to the coat of arms of the Electorate of the Palatinate.
Second Quarter (The Franconian Rake): At the sinister chief, per fess dancetty, gules and argent. This represents the administrative regions of Upper, Middle and Lower Franconia. This was the coat of arms of the prince bishops of Würzburg, who were also dukes of Franconia.
Third Quarter (The Blue Panther): At the dexter base, argent, a panther rampant azure, armed Or. This represents the regions of Lower and Upper Bavaria.
Fourth Quarter (The Three Lions): At the sinister base, Or, three lions passant guardant sable, armed gules. This represents Swabia.
The White and Blue Inescutcheon (Herzschild = "Heart Shield"): The escutcheon of white and blue oblique fusils was originally the coat of arms of the counts of Bogen, adopted in 1242 by the House of Wittelsbach. The white and blue fusils are indisputably the emblem of Bavaria and the heart shield today symbolizes Bavaria as a whole. Along with the People's Crown, it forms part of the official minor or lesser coat of arms.
The People's Crown: The four coat fields with the heart shield in the centre are crowned with a golden band with precious stones decorated with five ornamental leaves. This crown appeared in the coat of arms for the first time in 1923 to symbolize the sovereignty of the people after the dropping out of the royal crown.
History
Bavaria was one of the stem duchies of the Eastern Franconian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. The House of Wittelsbach, which ruled in Bavaria for about eight centuries, used the coat lozengy from 1242, later quartering it with the lion of the Electorate of the Palatinate.
Bavaria became a kingdom in 1806, and in 1835 a new coat of arms was created, similar to today's but representing some regions by different coats of arms.
The first known coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach was azure, a golden fess dancetty. When Louis I married Ludmilla, the widow of Albert III, Count of Bogen, he adopted the coat of arms of the counts of Bogen together with their land. The number of lozenges varied; from the 15th century 21 were used, increasing to 42 when Bavaria became a kingdom in 1806.
Lit: Wilhelm Volkert; Die Bilder in den Wappen der Wittelsbacher (Wittelsbach und Bayern, Köln, 1980)
Coat of arms of Kraiburg
In the eleventh century the counts of Kraiburg, a branch of the counts of Sponheim originating in what is today Rhenish Hesse, acquired land in Upper and Lower Bavaria. In 1259, after the death of the last male member of the family, the county was sold to the dukes of Bavaria. The coat of arms of the family was the "Lion of Sponheim", although the charge was not a lion but a "panthier" (pronounced as in French), a mixture of a dragon and a lion. Nowadays, the fire-spitting panthier/panther is the coat of arms of the city of Ingolstadt. The coat of arms created for the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1835 included the panthier.

38015264 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew%20MacEwen | Drew MacEwen | Drew Christian MacEwen (born June 12, 1973) is an American politician of the Republican Party. He is a member of the Washington House of Representatives, representing the 35th district, which covers the entirety of Mason County and parts of Kitsap and Thurston counties.
Career
MacEwen has been a real estate investor and developer, a houseboat salesman, and a financial advisor. He formerly was in the Navy. He has been president of Falcon Financial Inc., managing partner of Mountain Lakes Capital Management, and a partner in two restaurants.
In 2012, MacEwen was elected to the state House, defeating Lynda Ring Erickson of the Democratic Party by a margin of 51.84% (32,975 votes) to 48.16% (30,638 votes). He took office in 2013. In 2014, he defeated Tammey Newton of the Democratic Party by a margin of 59.21% (27,408) to 40.79% (18,885). In 2016, he defeated Craig Patti of the Independent Democratic Party by a margin of 54.21% (35,384) to 45.79% (29,888). In 2018, he defeated Democratic candidate David Daggett by 33,320 votes (51.22%) to 31,738 votes (48.78%). In 2020, he defeated Democratic candidate Darcy Huffman by 47,618 votes (56.42%) to 36,668 votes (43.44%).
In 2015, MacEwen sponsored legislation (House Bill 1838) to allow bear-baiting of black bears as a hunting practice under some circumstances. The Humane Society opposed the legislation.
In 2015, MacEwen introduced legislation that would create a lower minimum wage for workers under 18 years of age and would allow employers to count benefits, such as healthcare, toward the minimum wage.
During the 2016 presidential election between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald Trump, MacEwen declined to say who he would vote for.
In 2018, MacEwen and two other Republican state legislators (Doug Ericksen and Brandon Vick) traveled to Cambodia to observe the undemocratic elections in the country, which were not free and fair. The election was held under Hun Sen's authoritarian regime, which has repressed the opposition as well as independent media. The visit raised concerns about whether the three lawmakers were being used to give a veneer of credibility to the sham elections, which were not observed by internationally recognized election monitors. Governor Jay Inslee wrote a letter to the legislators to express concern about the visit. After MacEwen and Vick met with the U.S. ambassador to Cambodia, both cut the trip short and returned to Washington.
After the Cypress Island Atlantic salmon pen break, MacEwen co-sponsored legislation to ban the net-pen farming of Atlantic salmon in Washington, due to the risk that the escapes of the non-native species from salmon farms would cause environmental harm. The legislation had bipartisan support, and Governor Inslee, a Democrat, signed the legislation in 2018. In 2019, MacEwen was one of six Republicans in the state House to vote with Democrats to create long-term care benefit in the state funded by a 0.58% withholding tax.
During the 2020 session, MacEwen was the Republicans' deputy floor leader. In May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Washington, MacEwen was one of four Republican state legislators who sued Inslee in federal court, contending that "the emergency has been contained" and that Inslee lacked the power to issue restrictions to slow the spread of the virus. The court rejected the challenge.
MacEwen reportedly considered a bid for Governor of Washington in 2020.
In the Washington State Senate in 2022 he defeated Democrat Julianne Gale to replace retiring moderate Democrat Tim Sheldon.

68755388 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulturhistorisches%20Museum%20Magdeburg | Kulturhistorisches Museum Magdeburg | The Kulturhistorische Museum Magdeburg (KHM) is a museum in Magdeburg for Cultural History. It was originally founded in 1906 as an art-historically oriented Kaiser-Friedrich Museum. The museum focuses on the history of the city in permanent and special exhibitions. Art-historical pieces are also presented. The is also located in the same building.
History
After various predecessor institutions, the Magdeburg Museum of Cultural History was opened on 17 December 1906 as the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum. The first director of the museum was the art historian . After numerous private gifts and acquisitions from Europe, the National Socialists endeavoured to remove unwelcome objects from 1933 onwards. During the Second World War, the museum building was severely destroyed. In addition, an extensive part of the outsourced collections, including the famous painting by Vincent van Gogh The Painter on the Way to Tarascon, was lost. Subsequently, the building was largely rebuilt, extensively restored and the collections expanded. In addition, the Museum für Naturkunde Magdeburg moved into the building of the former Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum.
From the 1990s onwards, the highlights of the exhibitions in the Museum of Cultural History included the Council of Europe exhibitions Otto the Great – Magdeburg and Europe (2001) and Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (2006). Other important recent exhibitions were Magdeburg 1200 – Medieval Metropolis, Prussian Fortress, State Capital (2005), Dawn of the Gothic (2009), Otto the Great and the Roman Empire. Kaisertum von der Antike zum Mittelalter (2012), Against Emperor and Pope – Magdeburg and the Reformation (2018), Reformstadt der Moderne – Magdeburg in den Zwanzigern (2019), Faszination Stadt – Die Urbanisierung Europas im Mittelalter und das Magdeburger Recht (2019).
Buildings
The museum building is located at Otto-von-Guericke-Straße 68–73, only a few metres from Magdeburg Cathedral. It was built from 1901 to 1906 as a municipal museum for art and arts and crafts and was given the name Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum. The executed design had emerged indirectly from an architectural competition held in 1897 and came from the Viennese architects Friedrich Ohmann and . It was built in the agglomerated building type.
Emperor Otto Hall
In addition to the period rooms, the building includes the Great Hall. This was created in the style of the buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg in the form of a church room with a crypt and was originally titled the Hall of Magdeburg Antiquities. After the destruction in the Second World War and the subsequent renovations, the character of the room was considerably changed by, among other things, inserting a false ceiling. It was only after the Peaceful Revolution and in the context of the first Otto der Grosse exhibition that extensive renovations could take place from 1997. In 2001, the room was reopened and renamed the Kaiser-Otto-Saal. Nowadays it is mainly used as a lecture, meeting and exhibition room.
Since the end of the 2010s, the original statue of the and a baroque Nativity scene have been on display in the Emperor Otto Hall. The three-part mural Scenes from the Life of Otto the Great by Arthur Kampf in 1905/06 illustrates the hall.
Operation
The Museum of Cultural History employs 27 people. It is managed by . A special feature of the offer is the Magdeburger Reiter by Playmobil, with which the toy manufacturer recreated a work of art for the first time and thus also advertises a city.
Since 1995, the Megedeborch has been staged in the museum's inner courtyard from spring to autumn. The project is a historical play in which schoolchildren can experience medieval Magdeburg for themselves in a reconstructed setting. For this, they slip into the role of various professions, practise the trades and thus populate the city.

59599413 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur%20John%20Jex-Blake | Arthur John Jex-Blake | Arthur John Jex-Blake (31 July 1873 – 16 August 1957) was a British physician, specializing in heart and lung diseases.
Biography
After education at Eton, Arthur John Jex-Blake matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he graduated BA in 1894, MA in 1901, BM and BCh in 1901, and DM in 1913. He entered as a University scholar at St George's Hospital Medical School, where he received his medical education. In 1902 the University of Oxford awarded him a Radcliffe travelling fellowship, enabling him to visit Vienna, Copenhagen, and Baltimore. He was appointed to the staff of the Victoria Hospital for Children and then became an assistant physician to St George's Hospital and to the Royal Brompton Hospital. He qualified MRCP in 1905 and was elected FRCP in 1912. In 1913 he delivered the Goulstonian Lectures.
During WWI he served as a major in the Royal Army Medical Corps in France and upon his return was appointed a full physician at St George's Hospital. In 1920 he married, resigned all of his London appointments, and moved with his bride to Kenya, where he lived until his death in 1957.
Family
Arthur John Jex-Blake was a son of Rev. Thomas William Jex-Blake, D.D. headmaster of Rugby School from 1874 to 1887 and a nephew of the famous physician and feminist Sophia Jex-Blake. His siblings included Katharine Jex-Blake, Mistress of Girton College from 1916 to 1922; Henrietta Jex-Blake, principal of Lady Margaret Hall from 1909 to 1921; and Bertha Jex-Blake, physician who studied at the Edinburgh College of Medicine for women established by her aunt. Bertha drowned near Whitby in 1915.
On 5 August 1920 in Wilton, Wiltshire, A. J. Jex-Blake married Lady Muriel Katherine Herbert (1883–1951), daughter of Sidney Herbert, 14th Earl of Pembroke.
The couple met in Boulogne in WWI when he was a doctor and she was a volunteer nurse. The Jex-Blakes had one daughter, Daphne Marian Jex-Blake (1923–1970); she married Richard Mason.

James Wilson: In this paper the case of infection in patient D.H. with B. aertrycke would in current medical terminology be called typhoid fever due to infection by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi; the case of infection in patient J.A.M. would be called paratyphoid fever due to infection by Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi B. The name of the bacterial species was changed. In 1928 medical experts were not entirely sure that B. aertrycke consisted of Salmonella.

7311863 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furna%20%28Brava%29 | Furna (Brava) | Furna is a seaside community in the northeastern part of the island of Brava, Cape Verde. It lies 2.5 km northeast of the island capital of Nova Sintra. At the 2010 census its population was 612.
About the village
The settlement was mentioned as Fuurno in the 1747 map by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin.
Furna became the most important harbour of Brava in 1843. In 1982, many boats and some houses of Furna were destroyed by waves reaching a height of up to 10 meters which were caused by the tropical storm Beryl. The harbour was improved in 2000. There are ferry connections to São Filipe in Fogo and Praia in Santiago.
Brava has a chapel known as Nossa Senhora de Boa Viagem. The new yellow school near the small church in the South of the village, which was paid by the government of Belgium, has large wall paintings motivating the children to save as much water as possible and to help keeping the island green.
Less than a kilometer northeast of Furna is the headland Ponta Jalunga with a lighthouse.

15864296 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluency | Fluency | Fluency (also called volubility and eloquency) refers to continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort in speech production.
It is also used to characterize language production, language ability or language proficiency.
In speech language pathology it means the flow with which sounds, syllables, words and phrases are joined when speaking quickly, where fluency disorder has been used as a collective term for cluttering and stuttering.
Definition
Fluency is a term concerning language production on the one hand, which is used in language ability or language proficiency
It is also used to characterize speech production on the other hand with some overlap.
In speech language pathology it means the smoothness or flow with which sounds, syllables, words and phrases are joined when speaking quickly. It refers to "continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort in speech production". The term fluency disorder has been used as a collective term for cluttering and stuttering since at least 1993.
Fluency is the property of a person or of a system that delivers information quickly and with expertise.
Language use
Language fluency is one of a variety of terms used to characterize or measure a person's language ability, often used in conjunction with accuracy and complexity. Although there are no widely agreed-upon definitions or measures of language fluency, someone is typically said to be fluent if their use of the language appears fluid, or natural, coherent, and easy as opposed to slow, halting use. In other words, fluency is often described as the ability to produce language on demand and be understood.
Varying definitions of fluency characterize it by the language user's automaticity, their speed and coherency of language use, or the length and rate of their speech output. Theories of automaticity postulate that more fluent language users can manage all of the components of language use without paying attention to each individual component of the act. In other words, fluency is achieved when one can access language knowledge and produce language unconsciously, or automatically. Theories that focus on speed or length and rate of speech typically expect fluent language users to produce language in real time without unusual pauses, false starts, or repetitions (recognizing that some presence of these elements are naturally part of speech). Fluency is sometimes considered to be a measure of performance rather than an indicator of more concrete language knowledge, and thus perception and understandability are often key ways that fluency is understood.
Language fluency is sometimes contrasted with accuracy (or correctness of language use, especially grammatical correctness) and complexity (or a more encompassing knowledge of vocabulary and discourse strategies). Fluency, accuracy, and complexity are distinct but interrelated components of language acquisition and proficiency.
Types
There are four commonly discussed types of fluency: reading fluency, oral fluency, oral-reading fluency, and written or compositional fluency. These types of fluency are interrelated, but do not necessarily develop in tandem or linearly. One may develop fluency in certain type(s) and be less fluent or nonfluent in others.
In the sense of proficiency, "fluency" encompasses a number of related but separable skills:
Reading fluency refers to the link between the recognition of words while reading and reading comprehension, which manifests itself in the speed and accuracy that one is able to read text. Research on reading fluency aligns concepts of accuracy, automaticity, and prosody. To achieve reading fluency, readers must have knowledge of the content of the language as well as the vocabulary being used. Interventions designed to help children learn to read fluently generally include some form of repeated reading, but this process may differ for children with learning disabilities, who may struggle with reading fluency.
Oral fluency or speaking fluency is a measurement both of production and reception of speech, as a fluent speaker must be able to understand and respond to others in conversation. Spoken language is typically characterized by seemingly non-fluent qualities (e.g., fragmentation, pauses, false starts, hesitation, repetition) because of ‘task stress.’ How orally fluent one is can therefore be understood in terms of perception, and whether these qualities of speech can be perceived as expected and natural (i.e., fluent) or unusual and problematic (i.e., non-fluent).
Oral reading fluency is sometimes distinguished from oral fluency. Oral reading fluency refers to the ability to read words accurately and quickly while using good vocal expression and phrasing. Oral reading fluency is often linked to Schreiber's Theory of Prosody, which places importance on the tone, rhythm, and expressiveness of speech.
Written or compositional fluency can be measured in a variety of ways. Researchers have measured by length of the composition (especially under timed conditions), words produced per minute, sentence length, or words per clause. Ratio measures (e.g., words per clause, words per sentence, and words per error-free sentence) have historically been most valid and reliable.
In second-language acquisition
Because an assessment of fluency is typically a measure or characterization of one's language ability, determining fluency may be a more challenging task when the speaker is acquiring a second language. It is generally thought that the later in life a learner approaches the study of a foreign language, the harder it is to acquire receptive (auditory) comprehension and fluent production (speaking) skills. For adults, once their mother tongue has already been established, the acquisition of a second language can come more slowly and less completely, ultimately affecting fluency. However, the critical period hypothesis is a hotly debated topic, with some scholars stating that adults can in fact become fluent in acquiring a second language. For instance, reading and writing skills in a foreign language can be acquired more easily even after the primary language acquisition period of youth is over.
So although it is often assumed that young children learn languages more easily than adolescents and adults, the reverse is in fact true; older learners are faster. The only exception to this rule is in pronunciation. Young children invariably learn to speak their second language with native-like pronunciation, whereas learners who start learning a language at an older age only rarely reach a native-like level.
Second-language acquisition in children
Since childhood is a critical period, widespread opinion holds that it is easier for young children to learn a second language than it is for adults. Children can even acquire native fluency when exposed to the language on a consistent basis with rich interaction in a social setting. In addition to capacity, factors like; 1) motivation, 2) aptitude, 3) personality characteristics, 4) age of acquisition 5) first language typology 6) socio-economic status and 7) quality and context of L2 input play a role in L2 acquisitions rate and building fluency. Second language acquisition (SLA) has the ability to influence children's cognitive growth and linguistic development.
Skill that consists of ability to produce words in target language develops until adolescence. Natural ability to acquire a new language with a deliberate effort may begin to diminish around puberty i.e. 12–14 years of age. Learning environment, comprehensible instructional materials, teacher, and the learner are indispensable elements in SLA and developing fluency in children. Extensive reading in L2 can offer twofold benefits in foreign language learning i.e. "reading to comprehend English and reading to learn English".
Paradis (2006) study on childhood language acquisition and building fluency examines how first and second language acquisition patterns are generally similar including vocabulary and morphosyntax. Phonology of first language is usually apparent in SLA and initial L1 influence can be lifelong, even for child L2 learners.
Children can acquire a second language simultaneously (learn L1 and L2 at the same time) or sequentially (learn L1 first and then L2). In the end, they develop fluency in both with one dominant language which is spoken largely by the community they live in.
According to one You Tube video from 2014, there are five stages of SLA and developing fluency:
Pre-production OR Silent/receptive
Early production
Speech emergence
Intermediate fluency
Advanced fluency.
Second-language acquisition in adults
The process of learning a second language or "L2," among older learners differs from younger learners because of their working memory. Working memory, also connected to fluency because it deals with automatic responses, is vital to language acquisition. This happens when information is stored and manipulated temporarily. During working memory, words are filtered, processed, and rehearsed, and information is stored while focusing on the next piece of interaction. These false starts, pauses or repetitions found in fluency assessments, can also be found within one's working memory as part of communication.
Those with education at or below a high school level are least likely to take language classes. It has also been found that women and young immigrants are more likely to take language classes. Further, highly educated immigrants who are searching for skilled jobs – which require interpersonal and intercultural skills that are difficult to learn – are the most affected by lower fluency in the L2.
Speech-language pathology
Fluency is a speech language pathology term which means the smoothness or flow with which sounds, syllables, words and phrases are joined when speaking quickly. The term fluency disorder has been used as a collective term for cluttering and stuttering. Both disorders have breaks in the fluidity of speech, and both have the fluency breakdown of repetition of parts of speech.
Automatic assessment of language fluency
Several automatic systems have been developed to assess speech fluency in children or in second-language learners. The first systems used automatic speech recognition to compute objective measures such as speech or articulation rate, that were strongly associated with subjective ratings of speech fluency. More recent studies showed that automatic acoustic measures (i.e., without using any automatic speech recognition system) can also be used to measure speech fluency in second-language learners or in children.
In creativity
As of 1988, studies in the assessment of creativity listed fluency as one of the four primary elements in creative thinking, the others being flexibility, originality and elaboration. Fluency in creative thinking is seen as the ability to think of many diverse ideas quickly.

9087650 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theopompus%20of%20Sparta | Theopompus of Sparta | Theopompus () was a Eurypontid king of Sparta. He is believed to have reigned during the late 8th and early 7th century BC.
Sparta was a diarchy, having two kings at the same time, an Agiad and a Eurypontid. Theopompus was the son and successor to the Eurypontid king Nicander.
The major event of his reign was the First Messenian War, which resulted in the defeat of the Messenians, for which, Pausanias reports, Tyrtaeus credits Theompompus:
To our king beloved of the gods, Theopompus, through whom we took Messene with wide dancing-grounds.
Pausanias reports that Theopompus was succeeded by his grandson Zeuxidamas or great-grandson Anaxidamus, Theopompus' son Archidamus having predeceased him, though there is some evidence that his successor was Anaxandridas I, father of Zeuxidamus.
Plutarch, in his Parallel Lives, stated that it was in Theopompus' reign that the ephors were introduced in Sparta. Plutarch also recorded a tradition in Messenia that Theopompus had fallen in battle, being slain by Aristomenes. Sparta denied the truth of this latter story, claiming that Theopompus had been only wounded.

26965877 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%20Morgan%20%28actor%29 | James Morgan (actor) | James Morgan (born 8 August 1985) is a Welsh actor.
Career
Stage
Morgan was born in Maesteg, South Wales on 8 August 1985. He began acting in 1996, at the age of ten, when he was cast in the role of Charlie Bates in the Maesteg Amateur Operatic Society production of Oliver!. He built up a reputation through acting in pantomime and musical theatre performances in the local community. He began to accrue significant roles on stage including Chino in West Side Story and Cosmo in Singin' in the Rain for Bridgend County Youth Theatre.
This led to the role of Mark Anthony in A Chorus Line at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff as part of the International Festival of Musical Theatre in 2005.
In 2008 Morgan joined the Swansea Little Theatre - the company that once counted Dylan Thomas as a member - playing George Milton in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men at the Dylan Thomas Theatre. The production received favourable reviews, earning him a Best Actor nomination at the Glammie Awards in South Wales.
In 2010 he returned to Swansea, playing the role of Ethan in the musical adaptation of The Full Monty. With positive reviews after a full house run at the Dylan Thomas Theatre the show was transferred to the Grand Theatre, Swansea for a one-off final performance.
2019 saw Morgan back at the Dylan Thomas Theatre, this time playing Dylan Thomas in the play 3 Knights and 2 Welshmen, about the friendship between the Welsh poet and actor Richard Burton. Inspired by actual events, the play was set in an Austrian hotel during the production of eight-hour epic Wagner (which also featured Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson, and Sir Laurence Olivier, who all appear as characters in the play). He followed this up with a turn as John Proctor in Arthur Miller's The Crucible at the Grand Theatre, Swansea, a performance which was described as "faultless" by the UK's National Operatic and Dramatic Association, and earned him a NODA Wales & Ireland award for Best Individual Performance in a Drama.
2020 saw Morgan make his London West End debut in The Man Whose Hair Grew Black playing the role of Brian Thomas for Gurnwah Productions at the Leicester Square Theatre in February.
Screen
Away from the stage, Morgan has taken a series of roles in television, with parts in the ITV Wales shorts What Goes on Tour and Covered - the latter winning him the Best Actor prize at the It's My Shout Awards in South Wales in 2004.
In 2010 Morgan appeared on BBC1 in The Indian Doctor, a period comedy-drama set in the 1960s, with a cast that included Sanjeev Bhaskar, Ayesha Dharker, Mark Williams and Beth Robert. 2012 saw his return to show playing the role of minor Harri. In 2011 he appeared in the lead role of Jason Rees in the Seraphim Pictures short film The Final Punchline. In 2014 he made a return to television in 24: Live Another Day as a DSS Agent for 1 episode, and followed this up in 2016 playing Morgan in "The Corpse Series" which was released through Crypt TV in the US in 2017.
In 2018 he was cast in Human Resources, the first episode of the Watchers Productions series Strange Tales, playing the role of Noah.

The tournament was held on 4 August 1924 in London, United Kingdom.
Events
After the successful first 1922 Women's World Games in Paris and the three Women's Olympiads (1921 Women's Olympiad, 1922 Women's Olympiad and 1923 Women's Olympiad) in Monaco the interest for women's sports also grew internationally. In 1922 the "Women's Amateur Athletic Association" (WAAA) was founded in the UK: the WAAA organised the first official British women championships in track and field (WAAA Championships) on 18 August 1923 at the Oxo Sports Ground in Downham outside London. In the US the "Amateur Athletic Union" (AAU) organised the first official American women championships in track and field on 29 September 1923 at Weequahic Park in Newark, New Jersey.
The 1924 Women's Olympiad was organised in cooperation with the newspapers News of the World, Sporting Life and Daily Mirror in cooperation with the WAAA and the Fédération Sportive Féminine Internationale (FSFI) under chairwoman Alice Milliat.
The games were attended by participants from 8 nations: Belgium, Canada (exhibition events only), Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the USA (exhibition events only). The tournament was a huge promotion for women's sports.
The athletes competed in 12 events: running (100 yards, 250 metres, 1000 metres, Relay race 4 x 110 yards and 4 x 220 yards and 120 yards, Racewalking 1000 metres, high jump, long jump, discus throw, shot put and javelin. The tournament also held exhibition events in cycling (two-thirds of a mile bicycle sprint), netball, and gymnastics.
The multi-sport event was held at "Stamford Bridge" in Fulham in southwest London. The games attended an audience of 25,000 spectators.
Results
Almost all medals went to athletes from France and the United Kingdom.
During the games 7 world records were set: Mary Lines in hurdling 120 yd and running 250 m, Edith Trickey in running 1000 m, Albertine Regel in walking 1000 m, Elise van Truyen in high jump, Violett Morris in discus and Louise Groslimond in javelin. Poorly performed measuring however led to that only 2 records, Trickey in running 1000 metres and Regel in walking 1000 metres, later were ratified.
Results in each event:
Each athlete in the shot put and javelin throw events threw using their right hand, then their left. Their final mark was the total of the best mark with their right-handed throw and the best mark with their left-handed throw.
Legacy
The tournament was a huge promotion for women's sports, a follow-up was held in 1925 ("Daily Mirror Trophy") also at Stamford Bridge. In 1926 the second regular Women's World Games were held at Gothenburg.

70081069 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lea%20Del%20Bo%20Rossi | Lea Del Bo Rossi | Lea Del Bo Rossi (1903–1978), also known as Lea Rossi Del Bo, was an Italian medical researcher who studied clinical microscopy and neurohistopathology.
Life and work
Lea Del Bo was born 4 March 1903 in Cassano Magnago, Italy, to Adele Mazzucchelli and the doctor Luigi Del Bo. After high school, she enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Pavia and studied clinical microscopy and neurohistopathology with Camillo Golgi (1843–1926), Luigi Sala (1863–1930), Edoardo Perroncito (1847–1936) and Scipione Riva-Rocci (1863–1937). She graduated with honors in 1925.
To continue her thesis research on multiple sclerosis after graduation, she began attending the neurohistopathological laboratory of the Mondino Foundation, directed at that time by the psychiatrist Ottorino Rossi (1877–1936), of whom she would become a pupil and life partner. At some point, Lea added "Rossi" to her own name but in an inconsistent way, sometimes before her maiden name and sometimes after. In Del Bo's obituary, neurologist Giuseppe Carlo Riquier referred to Ottorino Rossi as "her husband."
She conducted clinical research as a doctor at the Provincial Psychiatric Institute of Milan, and published papers on psychiatric therapy, spinal cord automatism, cerebral echinococcosis, treatment of progressive paralysis with penicillin, regeneration nervosa and psychasthenia. There she worked with the institute's director Max Beluffi.
Beginning in the late 1940s, she explored "a staining method based on a Coz-silver impregnation technique, of which she presents the data in various articles in the Experimental journal of freniatria and The brain." She published her results in, The nervous system studied with a new technique, published in two parts in 1949 and 1950, and included many photomicrographs in her publications. In a review of Del Bo's work by Carlo Berlucchi, he said her technique was "capable of revealing figures not yet taken into evidence of nerve cells and fibers."
Del Bo Rossi's research on tumors revealed their "rich innervation," and she formulated a hypothesis on the infectious origin of cancer. Some of her results were met with conflicting opinions but Lea vehemently held her ground. One of her patrons, Beluffi, said in his obituary for Del Bo Rossi that she responded, "with the caustic and pugnacious spirit that characterized her, never shied away" from the "lively interpretative polemics" that accompanied her writings.
Del Bo Rossi published a collection of her most significant research in 1974, just a few years before she died, hoping to publicize her contributions and finally obtain the visibility and public recognition that she felt had escaped her. Her collection, The nervous system studied with a new technique, Consents and evaluations, included comments from some of her followers, both domestic and international.
Selected works
She published many (but not all) of her research using the last name "Rossi Del Bo" and sometimes did not capitalize the first letter in "Del."

History
It was opened in its current location in 1886 by the Fitzroy Pastoral, Agricultural and Horticultural Society, replacing an earlier showground in William Street. The plan for the new showground venue in Wandal, at a cost of £2000, was approved in December 1885.
Facilities
Since its opening in 1886, the venue has undergone numerous upgrades, improvements and additions.
The Rockhampton Showgrounds currently encompasses numerous pavilions, grandstands and buildings which are located around the perimeter of the main show ring. They include the Walter Pierce Pavilion, the James Lawrence Pavilion, the Robert Schwarten Pavilion, the Kele Pavilion, the McCamley Pavilion and the Robert Archer Grandstand.

Noise and dust complaints
The noise created by concert and speedway events held at the Rockhampton Showgrounds has generated numerous complaints from residents living near the venue.
In an attempt to appease local residents, a 10:30 pm curfew was imposed for event organisers.Butterworth, Liam (20 May 2010) Speedway upsets resident, The Morning Bulletin. Retrieved 30 December 2018. The decision to lift the curfew for selected events, however, has also been met with criticism.Bulloch, Shayla (6 December 2017) Authority tries to hush Busby Marou's Rocky concert, The Morning Bulletin. Retrieved 30 December 2018. The ongoing noise complaints generated from events held at the Rockhampton Showgrounds has prompted discussions about moving the venue out of the city and away from the residential area in Wandal.
Notable events
In 1912, American aviator Arthur Burr Stone used the Rockhampton Showgrounds to demonstrate flight with his Blériot monoplane.
In 1927, the finals scenes of what is believed to be Australia's last silent film, The Kid Stakes'' were filmed at the Rockhampton Showgrounds.
In 1996, a prize bull escaped from its handlers at the Rockhampton Agricultural Show and charged a lunchtime crowd at the showgrounds resulting in some injuries to attendees.
In 2018, two prison inmates from the Capricornia Correctional Centre escaped from the Rockhampton Showgrounds where they were completing a community work order. They were both later captured separately in Mackay.
In mid-2018, a dispute arose between the Rockhampton Agricultural Society and the Showmen's Guild of Australasia over space allocation at the venue for the wood-chopping contest at the Rockhampton Show. The disagreement prompted the showmen to boycott the Rockhampton Show leaving the event at the showgrounds without any of the regular sideshow alley amusements. The guild instead established their own rival event at Callaghan Park on the other side of the Fitzroy River, held simultaneously in direct competition with the Rockhampton Show.
In late-2018, two Rockhampton Regional Council councillors voiced their objections to a decision to relocate the popular steampunk convention CapriCon from the library precinct in the city centre to the Rockhampton Showgrounds. Proponents for the move believe the event had grown in such popularity since its inception that a move to the Rockhampton Showgrounds was essential for the event as it offered larger venue space, improved security and increased accessibility.

32463098 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camarines%20Sur%20National%20High%20School | Camarines Sur National High School | The Camarines Sur National High School, also called CamHi, is the oldest national high school in Camarines Sur and one of the biggest public secondary schools in the Bicol Region, Philippines, having a student population of 11,899 in the school year 2021–2022. It was established in 1902.
History
1900s
The Philippine Commission enacted Act No. 74 creating the Department of Public Instruction on January 21, 1901, and later that year, American educators known as Thomasites arrived in Ambos Camarines (the province's name before it was split into two, Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte) to teach the Bicolanos.
On July 15, 1902, the school was launched as the Provincial High School of Nueva Caceres (former name of Naga City when it was still a town). Headed by its first principal Mr. Frank Crone and assisted by Ms. Minerva Udell, the institution started with 70 students and 4 American mentors. The attendance increased steadily and by the end of the first term there were 200 students. Then it was transferred somewhere on Mabini Street (now San Francisco) until it was transferred in 1915 to Via Gainza (now Peñafrancia Avenue), its present location. It was by then known as Camarines High School.
Japanese occupation
During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines from 1943 to 1945, the school was temporarily closed as its Gabaldon building (main building) served as a garrison for Japanese soldiers under a certain Colonel Isabashi.
American liberation
The school was re-opened during the American liberation in 1945 until it became dilapidated and was declared unsafe for occupancy in 1949.
The 1950s
In 1950, former city mayor Leon SA. Aureus initiated the organization of Camarines Sur High School Alumni Association. Additional school buildings were constructed in 1951 with the initiative of Provincial Governor Juan F. Trivino and batch 1933. Night classes were opened in 1968 until 1983 to address the needs of working students.
the 1960s to 1990s
On June 29, 1969, President Ferdinand Marcos approved Republic Act 5529, converting the institution into Camarines Sur National High School. In 1971, Camarines Sur Community College was established offering two-year post-secondary education. In 1977 to 1992 with Ms. Pura Luisa Magtoto as principal, more buildings and facilities were constructed including the Student Pavilion. A Balik Adal Project, a special community outreach program was launched in 1985 with the help of the Naga City local government. In 1991, the Engineering and Science Education Program was launched under the enriched curriculum in English, Science and Technology and Mathematics. In 1992 Mrs. Rosa Perez succeeded as principal for a short term.
The 1990s-2000s
In 1994 to 2002, under the leadership of Mrs. Elizabeth Palo, additional buildings were built including the Andaya and Roco Buildings. A Special Education Program and Special Program in the Arts were opened in 1999 and 2000 respectively. In 2001, the school represented Luzon to the Project Sterling Program, a peer accreditation to public secondary school sponsored by the Department of Education, Philippine Association of Secondary Schools Administrators and the University of Asia and the Pacific. The school was accredited in 2003.
Centennial Celebration
The school successfully celebrated its Centennial Foundation Anniversary on December 15, 2002, after a historical record was rectified that the actual date of its creation is June 15, 1902, and not in 1904. It was based on the researched made by Prof. Danilo Gerona a foremost Bikolano historian with the help of school's Centennial Research team composed of Mrs. Salve Lapuz, Mr. Jarme Taumatorgo and Ms. Yolanda Castor. In November 2002, Mrs. Nelly Abad became principal. Under her watch, Late Afternoon Class for working students reopened. New DepEd programs were offered, namely: Special Program in Sports, Family Farm Curriculum, Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program, Career Pathway-Technology and Livelihood Education and Foreign Language (Spanish). Enrichment subjects for fast learners and remedial classes for specially challenged students were introduced. The school was a hall of fame awardee for the best Brigada Eskwela implementer nationwide for big school category- secondary level.
Present
Presently, the school is headed by the Principal IV, Dr. Sulpicio C. Alferez III together with the Assistant Principal II for Senior High School, Melissa B. Bobos; Assistant Principal II for Junior High School, Dr. Gemma O. Corporal; and Assistant Principal II for Operations and Learner Support. It has two campuses, the main one is along Peñafrancia Ave., Naga City's school belt and the annex is along M.T. Villanueva Ave. (formerly Liboton St.). The main campus is composed of 28 classroom-buildings, laboratories, and a student pavilion. The first two buildings built were the Main Building (also called the Gabaldon Building) and the Old Science Building in late 1900s. The Main Building is two-story, made up of stone and concrete the first floor and hardwood on the second floor including the floors. Presently, the main building houses on the first floor the guidance office, clinic, student government office and different departments while the library, speech lab and a big meeting hall are on the second floor. The one-story Old Science Building reconstructed in 1946 with the help of the American government now is dilapidated and temporarily houses the faculty and two big classrooms. Renovation is now being considered. The two-story Italianate Style Gabaldon Building on the right side of the Main Building houses the Administrative Staff including the Principal's Office, Auditor's Office, and the Educational Management Information Office. The Main Building was recently restored with help of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. These three buildings are now being considered as cultural properties in consonance with the National Cultural Heritage Act (Republic Act No. 10066).

57705019 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver%20Heads | Silver Heads | Silver Heads () is a 1998 Russian science fiction film directed by Yevgeny Yufit.
Plot
Scientists begin to conduct a secret experiment, the purpose of which is to study the interaction of man and tree in the course of their interfusion — through the fusion of human and tree molecules. The conceived experiment is far-fetched, but the result, which scientists expect to get, is very tempting — the man-tree will be stable with respect to the aggressive environment, durable, very unpretentious ...
A small group of scientists is sent to a remote forest range, who want to be both researchers and experimental participants. However, the forest is not deserted, as scientists thought. Firstly, there lives a forester with his family (wife and son) and a dog. Secondly, strange creatures wander through the forest, left here after a previous phantasmagorical experiment.

Thomas Cromwell's father Edward escaped punishment for his role in Essex's Rebellion of 1601 but debt forced him to exchange his estates in England for lands in Ulster which had been confiscated after the end of Tyrone's Rebellion and relocate his family to the Kingdom of Ireland. Thomas succeeded as 4th Baron Cromwell in the Peerage of England after his father died in Downpatrick on 24 September 1607 and was further created 1st Viscount Lecale in the Peerage of Ireland, on 22 November 1624.
A supporter of Charles I of England during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, he was Colonel of Lord Cromwell's Troop of Horse, raised as part of the Royal Irish Army in 1640. In return for his service, he was created 1st Earl of Ardglass, in the Peerage of Ireland, on 15 April 1645; he was subsequently fined £460 by the Committee for Compounding with Delinquents set up by Parliament. This allegiance placed him in an opposing camp to his distant cousin Oliver Cromwell.
Marriage and issue
He married Elizabeth Meverell (died 1651), daughter and heiress of Robert Meverell of Ilam, Staffordshire, and of Throwley Old Hall, Staffordshire (died 5 February 1627/1628) and Elizabeth Fleming, both buried at Blore, Staffordshire, the daughter of Sir Thomas Fleming, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and had three children:
Wingfield Cromwell, 2nd Earl of Ardglass (12 September 1624 – 3 October 1668)
Vere Essex Cromwell, 4th Earl of Ardglass (2 October 1625 – 26 November 1687)
Mary Cromwell (died 8 April 1676), married as his first wife William FitzHerbert, of Tissington, Derbyshire (1624/1629 – 24 June 1697), who married secondly Anne Breton, widow of John Parker, of London, and daughter of Richard Breton, of Elmesthorpe, Leicestershire, without any male issue.
He and his wife both died in 1653 and were buried at St Peter's Church, Tickencote, Rutland, and his last will, dated 26 March 1653, was probated in 1661.

51213611 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st%20Orkney%20Artillery%20Volunteers | 1st Orkney Artillery Volunteers | The 1st Orkney Artillery Volunteers (OAV) was a part-time unit of Britain's Royal Artillery formed in the Orkney Islands in 1860 as a response to a French invasion threat. The unit served as coast artillery until it was disbanded after World War I.
Precursor unit
Numerous Volunteer units had been organised across Britain at the time for home defenceof the French Revolutionary Wars, and some of these had taken on the role of manning coast artillery guns. One such unit, the Kirkwall Gunners, was in existence at Kirkwall on Mainland, Orkney, as early as 1801, but little is known of its history. It was probably absorbed into the Orkney Volunteer Infantry and disbanded by the end of the Napoleonic Wars.
Volunteer Force
Renewed enthusiasm for the Volunteer movement following an invasion scare in 1859 saw the creation of many Rifle, Artillery and Engineer Volunteer Corps composed of part-time soldiers eager to supplement the Regular British Army in time of need. A public meeting on 29 December 1859 resolved to raise a volunteer company in Orkney, and a further meeting in early January 1860 decided that it should be an artillery volunteer corps (AVC). The 1st Orkney Artillery Volunteer Corps (OAV) was accepted for service by the War Office on 12 March 1860, and over 50 volunteers gathered at Kirkwall that month, when John Heddle of Melsetter was chosen as Captain. A battery with two 32-pounder guns was erected at Cromwell's Fort in the charge of the Sergeant-instructor. Over the following years the gunners practised gun drill and target firing with the heavy guns from the fort and musketry with carbines at a range on Mount Road. The first headquarters (HQ) was an office in Broad Street, then a wooden building on the Kirk Green until that was replaced by a purpose-built drill hall on reclaimed land on the shore of the Peerie Sea.
Other AVCs followed across the islands, and from 1863 they were all administered by the 1st Administrative Brigade, Caithness Artillery Volunteers:
1st (Kirkwall) OAV
2nd (Sanday) OAV – formed at Scar House on the Isle of Sanday, 23 June 1863 under Capt James Scarth
3rd (Shapinsay) OAV – formed at Balfour on Shapinsay Island 10 July 1863 under Capt David Balfour, with a battery at Fort Eleanor
4th (Stromness) OAV – formed at Stromness, Mainland, 23 June 1863 under Capt John Stanger of Ness
5th (Stronsay) OAV – formed at Stronsay Island 17 August 1865 under Capt Peter A. Calder
6th (Holm) OAV – formed at Holm, Mainland, 28 November 1866 under Capt Alex. Sutherland Graeme
7th (Firth) OAV – formed at Firth, Mainland, 31 October 1868; disbanded 1877
8th (Evie) OAV – formed at Evie, Mainland, 25 June 1870 under Capt Joseph R. Holmes; renumbered 7th in 1877
9th (Rousay) OAV – formed at the Isle of Rousay 30 December 1874 under Capt John Macrae; renumbered 8th in 1877, moved to Kirkwall 1886
10th (Birsay) OAV – formed at Birsay, Mainland, 2 March 1877 under Capt William J. Isbister; renumbered 9th in 1877
Some 70 volunteers were raised for a corps at South Ronaldsay and drills commenced, but no officer candidates came forward and the unit was abandoned. Once a fifth OAV had been raised there were moves for Orkney to have its own brigade, and Capt David Balfour of the 3rd (Shapinsay) OAV was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of a new 1st Administrative Brigade, Orkney Artillery Volunteers on 15 March 1867 with Capt Alex Bain of the 1st (Kirkwall) OAV as Major.
Volunteer corps were consolidated into larger units in 1880, when the 1st Admin Brigade became simply the 1st Orkney Artillery Volunteers, with the individual corps as numbered companies. On 1 April 1882 all AVCs were affiliated to a territorial garrison division of the Royal Artillery (RA), the Scottish Division in the case of the 1st Orkney, moving to the Southern Division when the numbers were reduced on 1 July 1889. By 1894 No 6 Company was at Holm and Fort Alexander, No 9 at Birsay and Douby.
The unit had its headquarters and drill hall at Kirkwall, and each battery had its own drill hall, armoury, sergeant-instructor's cottage, practice battery of two guns (four at Kirkwall) and a carbine range. The practice batteries were re-armed with old 64-pounder RML guns, so serious training on modern guns was carried out at the annual camp.
From 1 June 1899 all artillery volunteers became part of the Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA), and when the RA abolished its divisional structure on 1 January 1902 the unit was redesignated the 1st Orkney Royal Garrison Artillery (Volunteers).
Territorial Force
When the Volunteers were subsumed into the new Territorial Force (TF) under the Haldane Reforms of 1908, the Orkney RGA transferred as a 'defended ports unit' with minor changes to organisation and uniforms. Headquarters remained at Kirkwall with the companies located as follows:
No 1 Company at Kirkwall
No 2 Company at Isle of Sanday
No 3 Company at Balfour, Shapinsay
No 4 Company at Stromness
No 5 Company at Evie
No 6 Company at Holm
No 7 Company at Kirkwall
World War I
On the outbreak of war TF units mobilised and went to their war stations: the coast defences around Orkney and Fair Isle in the case of the Orkney RGA. Shortly afterwards, members of the TF were invited to volunteer for Overseas Service, and the majority did so. Soon the TF RGA companies that had volunteered for overseas service were supplying trained gunners to RGA units serving overseas. Although most defended ports units provided cadres to form complete siege artillery batteries for front line service from New Army ('Kitchener's Army') volunteers, the Orkney RGA does not appear to have been used in this way.
In 1915 it was announced that the Royal Navy, which was already responsible for the defence of the Grand Fleet's anchorage at Scapa Flow, would take over the defences of the whole of Orkney. The Orkney RGA was replaced by the Royal Marine Artillery, and because the unit no longer had a mobilisation role it was disbanded, despite the protests of the Orkney TF Association. The individual Orkney gunners were posted to other RGA units in the UK and overseas.
Postwar
When the TF was reconstituted on 1 January 1920, there were attempts to revive the Orkney RGA. Major J.D. Shearer raised two companies, which were designated the Orkney Coast Brigade, RGA when the TF was reorganised as the Territorial Army (TA) in 1921. However, recruitment was poor and the brigade was officially disbanded in May 1922. The historian of the Orkney and Shetland Volunteers places the blame for this failure on the disheartening effect of the 1915 decision to disband the former Orkney RGA.
Successor units
In 1926 it was decided that the coastal defences of Great Britain should be solely manned by part-time soldiers of the TA. However, there were by now no TA units existing in Orkney or Shetland, and new ones had to be hastily raised after the Munich Crisis in 1938. On the outbreak of World War II, the fixed coast defences on Orkney, including those protecting Scapa Flow, were manned by a new Orkney Heavy Regiment (TA) formed on 1 November 1938
Uniforms and insignia
The original uniform of the 1st Orkney AVC was a blue Frock coat with blue cuffs and collar, with five rows of black lace across the chest. Other ranks had scarlet piping round the collar and Austrian knots above the cuffs, officers had them in silver. The headgear was a blue peaked cap with a black band and scarlet piping, with the Royal Arms badge. White waist belts were worn, later replaced by cheaper black leather . However, in 1863 the 1st Orkney AVC adopted the standard uniform of the Royal Artillery. The Home Service helmet was worn from 1880.
Commanding officers
The following served as commanding officer of the 1st Orkney Artillery Volunteers and Orkney RGA:
Lt-Col David Balfour, appointed 15 March 1867
Brevet Colonel Fred W. Burroughs, formerly of the 93rd Highlanders, appointed 1 November 1873
Lt-Col J.W. Balfour, VD, formerly Captain, 7th Dragoon Guards, appointed 9 October 1880

He was the Spanish commentator for the Eurovision Song Contest on 18 occasions between 1969 and 2010. He was widely known as La voz de Eurovisión (The Voice of Eurovision) in Spain.
Biography
Early career
Uribarri was born in Ávila. After finishing school at Marist school in Palencia, he went on to study law but left in 1956 to work as a radio speaker for Radio Juventud, and then for Radio Intercontinental.
He debuted in Televisión Española (TVE) in 1958 when he participated in the contest for new talents Caras nuevas, hosted by Blanca Álvarez. He was hired by TVE and established himself as one of the most popular presenters in Spain. He won a Premios Ondas in 1966. One of hist most successful shows was the musical programme Aplauso, which he directed and hosted between 1978 and 1983.
Eurovision Song Contest
In 1968, Spain won the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in London with Massiel's "La, la, la", which meant Spain would host the 1969 Contest. Regular Spanish Commentator until then was Federico Gallo, but Uribarri took over the job, which he continued at the 1970 Contest. Uribarri returned as the Spanish commentator between the 1974 and the 1976 Contests. After an hiatus between 1977 and 1991, he returned as commentator at the 1992 Contest and continued in the job until the 2003 Contest, which cemented his status as the voice of Eurovision. He made returns again for the 2008 and the 2010 Contest.
Other than the Contest itself, Uribarri presented the Spanish national final Pasaporte a Dublín for the 1971 Contest. In 1998, he directed and wrote the four-episode documentary series Eurovisión Siglo XX, which focused on the history of the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2000 and 2001, he directed Spanish national finals Eurocanción 2000 and Eurocanción 2001. He also made appearances as a member of the jury in Spanish national finals. In 2009 he headed the jury at Spanish national final Eurovisión 2009: El retorno, and he was a member of the Spanish jury as well at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.
Late career
In November 2010 Uribarri began working for Catholic-oriented television channel 13 TV hosting film programme Nuestro Cine. As a result, it was confirmed on 8 February 2011 that Uribarri would not return to provide the Spanish commentary for the 2011 Contest, as he stated that he wanted to concentrate on his projects for 13 TV. It was announced on 2 March of that year that José María Íñigo would fulfill the role as Spanish commentator.
Death
Uribarri suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on 18 July 2012. He died on 23 July 2012 in a hospital in Madrid. He was 75.

Rivera, a semi-finalist in the 1989 Orange Bowl, was the top ranked Chilean junior in the 14s, 16s and 18s age categories.
In 1991, Rivera reached the quarter-finals of the Banespa Open in São Paulo with wins over Martín Jaite and Jean-Philippe Fleurian. At the French Open that year he came up against Dinu Pescariu in the first round and won the opening set, but lost the next two and had to retire hurt in the fourth set. His only other Grand Slam appearance was in the US Open in 1992, where he lost a four set match in the first round to American Scott Davis. He also qualified for the 1992 German Open (an ATP Super 9 event) and made the second round, after defeating Spaniard José Francisco Altur. As a doubles player he had his best win on tour when he and partner Sergio Cortes defeated third seeds Tomás Carbonell and Byron Talbot at the 1993 Movistar Open.

It was officially opened in March 2003 and is the home ground of FC Red Bull Salzburg. Previously, the club played at Stadion Lehen.
History
In 2011 the stadium hosted a friendly tournament known as the of four clubs. It features four teams: FK Austria Wien, FC Rapid București, Maccabi Haifa F.C. and FC Shakhtar Donetsk. To which Shaktar was declared the champions.
Overview
Its current seating capacity is 30,188. The stadium's original capacity was 18,200, but it was heavily expanded to over 30,000 so as to accommodate the 2008 European Football Championships.
The "EM Stadion Wals-Siezenheim" was the only stadium in the Austrian Bundesliga which used artificial turf. Polytan's FIFA 2-Star Recommended 40mm surface Ligaturf with a 25mm elastic layer was installed in 2005, but since summer 2008 natural lawn has been used.
From the 2018-19 Austrian Football Bundesliga season onwards, the majority of the upper stand remains closed, therefore limiting capacity to 17,218. This was done in order to improve the atmosphere considered “weak“ during Salzburg‘s national home games. This reduction in capacity only applies for Bundesliga matches.

Born in South Staffordshire in England, Brettell began working at the New British Iron Company at Brierley Hill when only eight years old. In 1868, he emigrated to the United States, settling in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and working in the iron mills there. He moved around the Mid West until 1879, when he and some colleagues founded a nail mill in Centralia, Illinois. This proved successful, and led them to found a steel mill, but it was unprofitable, and in 1890, the business closed.
Brettell joined the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers in the 1880s, and was corresponding representative of his local in 1888. After his business closed, he found work in Mingo Junction, Ohio, as a puddler, then as a heater, and increased his union activity. In 1893, he served a term as a vice-president of the American Federation of Labor, while campaigning for compulsory arbitration between employers and unions. He also joined the People's Party, and stood unsuccessfully for Congress in 1894.
From 1897, Brettell worked for the Laughlin & Junction Steel Company in a back office capacity. In 1899, he started a real estate and insurance business. This proved immediately successful; the following year, he built the Brettell Block as its headquarters. He was a founding director of the Steubenville Loan Association, was an organizer of the Centralia Building and Loan Association, and was a leading stockholder of the First National Bank of Mingo Junction. He died in 1929.

6900168 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pondok%20Indah%20Mall | Pondok Indah Mall | Pondok Indah Mall (Indonesian: Mal Pondok Indah) or PIM is a large shopping complex located in the Pondok Indah suburb of South Jakarta, Indonesia. The Pondok Indah Mall complex (referred to by Jakartans as "PIM") comprises three large buildings, the older 3-storey PIM1 and the 5-storey PIM2, and the newest building PIM3.
PIM 1 and PIM2 are interconnected via two elevated multi-storey pedestrian walkways (Skywalk North and Skywalk South), which are also tenanted by specialty shops. PIM3, which was officially opened on April 8, 2021, is connected to the other two buildings by an underpass.
In January 2017, Forbes recognised Pondok Indah Mall as one of the top five shopping malls in Jakarta.
Architecture
PIM1 and PIM2 each house a cinema complex. Both buildings are connected externally via a walkway and an open-air water theme park was located near PIM1, right behind Street Gallery. Unlike PIM1, PIM 2 is more focused on upper-class aficionados. InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah Hotel & Residences comprises approximately 300 hotel rooms and 180 serviced residences, which also adjoins the PIM2. Along with malls, office buildings, and hotels, the complex is termed as 'Pondok Indah Town Center'.
The architectural style was understated elegant conventional mall, with flooring continually updated until its present condition of polished Indonesian marble and granite. The architecture roughly imitated Dutch colonial large-scale warehouses with extensive steel-truss interpretation of Dutch structural timber-work for an innovative illuminating central skylight (double-glazed for minimising heat transfer) and featured three airy floors of shopping with a narrow open-floor gallery (made safe via decorative fencing). The exterior featured aluminium cladding for minimal maintenance in the harsh tropical climate.
Pondok Indah Mall 1
PIM 1 was completed in 1991 in the affluent suburb of Pondok Indah (Beautiful Village) in leafy Jakarta Selatan (South Jakarta). Originally the site was a random mixture of open fields, slums, middle-class dwellings and traditional warungs and eateries. It was a hated eyesore that generated vast amounts of litter, untreated stormwater and traffic congestion. Local affluent residents particularly disliked the lack of comfortable shopping facilities and the entrance to their leafy suburb "spoilt" by this unsightly, chaotic mess. Metro Department Store opened its first store at PIM 1 alongside fellow anchor tenants Hero Supermarket and Cinema XXI.
Pondok Indah Mall 2
PIM2 was first advertised as an ambitious huge amalgamation of residential and hotel-apartment tower complexes (one tower for each), office space, and commercial hub. However, due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, funds were unavailable to proceed. After a change of ownership, the expansion was finally realized in 2004 with the opening of Mall 2. At PIM2, Sogo unveiled its latest supermarket format, dubbed "Sogo Foodhall" in 2004.
Street Gallery
PIM's new extension, Street Gallery opened in 2013. It is located south of the PIM1 side. It mainly consists of food and beverage tenants.
Pondok Indah Mall 3
Pondok Indah Mall 3 was developed in the second half of 2016, after the success of closing the roof of Pondok Indah Residences in Jakarta. It was designed as a shopping center with a leasable area of over 55,000 square metres, and was officially opened on April 8, 2021. A key architectural feature is the giant balcony with a glass floor that shows the bottom two floors called Atmost-Fear. Seibu, Ranch Market , and Uniqlo are the anchor tenants.

21309110 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper%20Caper | Skyscraper Caper | Skyscraper Caper is a 1968 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Alex Lovy. The short was released on March 9, 1968, and stars Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales. It was the penultimate cartoon in the Daffy/Speedy series, and the only one where the two are never adversaries at any point in the cartoon.
Plot
One night, Daffy begins sleepwalking and leaves his house, strolls past Speedy's lakeside house, then falls into the lake itself, which wakes him up. Speedy informs him that he has been sleepwalking, which worries Daffy since "a guy could get hurt that way." Speedy offers to stay up for the night in exchange for five pesos, and promises that he will wake Daffy up if he starts sleepwalking again.
Back at Daffy's house, Speedy tells him that if he notices Daffy sleepwalking, he'll ring a bell in order to wake him up. Daffy goes to sleep, but Speedy has no intention of staying up for the whole night and ties a tripwire to the bedpost, also connecting it to the bell, so that if Daffy starts sleepwalking again the bell will wake up both Daffy and Speedy. Sure enough, Daffy begins sleepwalking and trips the bell, which wakes Speedy who then starts frantically ringing it himself to make it look like he was on guard. Afterwards, Daffy goes to sleep again, though not before Speedy makes him pay another five pesos for his continued services.
As dawn breaks, Daffy starts sleepwalking again, but this time he gets out of bed on the other side and leaves the house the other side of the bed, which fails to make the bell ring. He sleepwalks into a construction site, and ends up at the top of an under-construction skyscraper. In the meantime, Speedy finally wakes up and realizes that Daffy isn't there. Speedy then frantically leaves the house in pursuit. Using his super-speed, Speedy gets to the construction site, and gets to the top of the skyscraper just in time to prevent Daffy from falling down a hole in the girders. Daffy then nearly walks off the edge of the structure, but is woken up by the bell of an ice cream salesman at street level. He still loses his balance though, and falls partway down the structure, getting left hanging on for life. Speedy lowers a noose down to Daffy and threads it over his neck, then drops the other end down to Daffy and tells him to pull himself up with it. Daffy does so, nearly choking himself in the process, but manages to set off a jackhammer when he gets back to the top of the structure and is thrown off it again. On his way down, Daffy manages to grab onto the minute hand of a clock built into the side of another building, but then the hour hand starts traveling around extremely fast, whacking Daffy on the head, then the clock explodes and throws him into another building, where he bounces off the canopies above its windows. He grabs onto one of the canopies, but it quickly breaks off and drops him onto some telegraph lines, which he in turn bounces off of.
Speedy manages to grab a wheelbarrow, and catches Daffy before he hits the ground. Daffy passes out during his final fall, and Speedy quickly wheels him back home and drops him back into his bed, which results in Daffy being convinced that the whole thing was just a nightmare when he wakes up.
