Espino de Marotta was appointed to the role in 2012 and was the first woman in the history of the Panama Canal Authority to hold the role. Espino de Marotta said that some male colleagues questioned her appointment and is quoted as saying, "I wear the pink hard-hat to make a statement that a woman can do this job." Marotta describes the Panama Canal Expansion project as "a dream job for any engineer". Alongside responsibility for the physical expansion of the canal Marotta also oversaw other investment projects including, all the construction contracts, new bridges and purchasing.

The Project Management Institute certified her as "Project Manager" in 2007. She is also certified as a licensed public translator.
Career

She began working as a valuation engineer for the Canal Accounting Division in 1994. In 1998, she became the capital investment program coordinator for the Department of Maritime Operations.

Ilmer is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Longwick-cum-Ilmer, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is at the foot of the Chiltern Hills about northwest of Princes Risborough, near the boundary with Oxfordshire. In 1931 the parish had a population of 40. On 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished to form "Longwick cum Ilmer".
Toponym
The village toponym is derived from the Old English for 'Ylla's boundary', referring to the ancient boundary with Oxfordshire. The Domesday Book of 1086 records the village as Imere.
Parish church
The nave of the Church of England parish church of Saint Peter dates from the 12th century. In the 14th century the chancel was rebuilt and a south transept was added to the nave. In the 16th century the timber-framed and weatherboarded bellcote was added to the west end of the building. In 1662 the south transept was demolished. The building was restored in 1859–60 under the direction of the Oxford Diocesan architect, G.E. Street.
The bellcote has three bells, all of them cast by bellfounders from Reading, Berkshire. The tenor was cast in about 1500, probably by William Hasylwood. William Knight cast the second bell in 1568 and Henry Knight cast the treble in 1618.
St Peter's is a Grade II* listed building.
Railway history
In 1899–1905 the Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway was built through the parish. In 1906 was opened on the line to serve the village. British Railways closed the halt in 1963. The railway remains open as part of the Chiltern Main Line from London.
In 1968, a scene from Albert R. Broccoli's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was filmed along the railway line in which the Baron Bomburst's spies capture the wrong car with Lord Scrumptious inside.

Awkward Moment® is a party game that puts 3-8 players in awkward social situations. It was developed by the Tiltfactor Lab as part of a National Science Foundation-funded project called "Transforming Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) For Women and Girls: Reworking Stereotypes & Bias." It is a 20 minute game for middle and high school students (ages 12 and up). The game won Meaningful Play's best non-digital game award in 2012.
Gameplay
Players take turns assuming the role of the Decider. The Decider reveals a Moment Card that describes a funny, embarrassing, or stressful situation for the group and a Decider Card that provides a guideline for choosing a winning Reaction. Players submit a Reaction Card from their hand face down, and the Decider selects the Reaction Card that he/she thinks is the best response to the Moment, given the Decider Card's rule.
Research
Awkward Moment challenges players to consider other's viewpoints and assess their own biases. Data suggests that Awkward Moment strengthens associations between women and STEM and reduces people's trained biases.
Versions
Awkward Moment at Work was released in 2015 and focuses on awkward workplace situations.

Justus Gesenius (6 July 1601, Esbeck (near Elze), in the principality of Calenberg – 18 September 1673, Hanover) was a Lutheran theologian of the seventeenth century, known for his catechisms.
His father was preacher at Esbeck. Having received his early education at the Adreanum in Hildesheim, he went in his eighteenth year to the University of Helmstedt, where he studied under Georg Calixtus and Conrad Horneius. In 1628 he took his degree of master of philosophy in Jena and was called as pastor to the church of St. Magnus in Brunswick. After seven years of beneficent activity there, he received a call to Hildesheim, the seat of George, duke of Brunswick and Lunenburg, as court chaplain and preacher in the Collegiate of St. Blaise. After the duke's death (1641), he, as well as the whole
consistory, removed to Hanover, where he became chief court chaplain and general superintendent of the principality of Calenberg. Later (1665) he was general superintendent of Grubenhagen as well. He received the degree of doctor of divinity in 1643 for a dissertation, De igne purgatorio.
Gesenius' importance lies chiefly in the services he rendered in the production of good hymnals and catechisms. With his friend David Denicke, he brought out a hymnal containing 222 hymns (Hanover, 1646), which was later enlarged and arranged for use in the churches. The compilers did not confine themselves to collecting and arranging the hymns, but also adapted many of the older ones and probably added a few of their own composition. To correct the prevailing ignorance in regard to Christian doctrine, Gesenius, in 1631, brought out his Kleine Katechismusschule, or " Brief Instruction as to how the Catechism Should be Taught to the Young and the Simple " (often reprinted). Later, by order of Duke George and of the consistory, he issued an abridgment of this work under the title Kleine Catechismusfragen über den kleinen Catechismum Lutheri (1639 and manytimes republished). This work constitutes the

Launch Complex 16 (LC-16) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida is a launch complex built for use by LGM-25 Titan missiles, and later used for NASA operations before being transferred back to the US military and used for tests of MGM-31 Pershing missiles. Six Titan I missiles were launched from the complex between December 1959 and May 1960. These were followed by seven Titan II missiles, starting with the type's maiden flight on March 16, 1962. The last Titan II launch from LC-16 was conducted on May 29, 1963.
Following the end of its involvement with the Titan missile, LC-16 was transferred to NASA, which used it for Gemini crew processing, and static firing tests of the Apollo Service Module's propulsion engine. Following its return to the US Air Force in 1972, it was converted for use by the Pershing missile, which made its first flight from the complex on May 7, 1974. Seventy-nine Pershing 1a and 49 Pershing II missiles were launched from LC-16. The last Pershing launch from the facility was conducted on March 21, 1988. It was deactivated the next day and subsequently decommissioned under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
It was announced on January 17, 2019, that Relativity Space had entered a 5-year agreement to use LC-16 for its Terran 1 orbital launch vehicle and eventually its Terran R. The maiden flight of the Terran 1 launch vehicle took place on 23 March 2023 and resulted in a failure. The maiden flight of Terran 1 was the first orbital launch attempt from Launch Complex 16 (141 suborbital launches before the Terran 1).

Eoghan Ó hEidhin (died 1340) was King of Uí Fiachrach Aidhne.
Eoghan is the last person named as ruler of all Uí Fiachrach Aidhne in the annals. The previous person so named was Owen Ó hEidhin who died in 1253. The Irish annals list two possible rulers in the interim:
1263. Mael Fabhill Ó hEidhin was slain by the English.
1326. Nicholas Ó hEidhin died.
However, neither is specifically stated as being king.
According to the annals, "Eoghan ... was slain by his own kinsmen." No further details are given. His family would remain rulers of the sub-district of Coill Ua bhFhiachrach till displaced in the 1650s by the Cromwellian administration. However, as late as 1840 there was a recognised head of the family, living near Kinvara.

Hallfreðar saga vandræðaskálds (, Old Norse pronunciation: ) is one of the sagas of Icelanders. The saga is preserved in several 14th-century manuscripts, including Möðruvallabók and Flateyjarbók, but there are significant differences between the versions.
It relates the story of Hallfreðr vandræðaskáld, an Icelandic poet active around the year 1000. The saga has some resemblance to the sagas of other poets, such as Kormáks saga or Gunnlaugs saga, but in Hallfreðar saga there is less emphasis on the romantic relationships of the skald. Instead, the saga dwells on the troubled conversion of Hallfreðr from Norse paganism to Christianity, and his relations with King Óláfr Tryggvason and other Norwegian rulers.

Lucy Morris Chaffee Alden (, Chaffee; November 20, 1836 - December 20, 1912) was a 19th-century American author, educator, and hymnwriter of the long nineteenth century. Over 200 of her works appeared in various periodicals.
Biography
Lucy Morris Chaffee was born in South Wilbraham, New Hampden, Massachusetts, November 20, 1836. Her parents were Daniel Davis and Sarah Flynt Chaffee. Among her maternal ancestors was Judge John Bliss, of South Wilbraham, who on April 8, 1775, was appointed sole committee "to repair to Connecticut to request that Colony to co-operate with Massachusetts for the general defense", and who, under the constitution was chosen to the first and several succeeding senates. Alden spent a year at Monson Academy. There was a sister, Catherine Newell Chaffee (1835-1873).
For 10 years, Alden taught school, and for three years, she served as a member of the school board of her native town. She was left alone by the death of her mother in 1884. In July 1890, she married Lucius David Alden (1835-1898), an early schoolmate who had relocated to the Pacific coast, but she continued to live at her father's homestead. Her poetic, and far more numerous prose, writings appeared in various newspapers of Springfield, Boston, Chicago, and Minneapolis, in several Sunday school songbooks, and in quarterly and monthly journals. One doctrinal pamphlet of hers was translated by a British officer and missionary in Madras into Hindi, and many copies printed. Copies of another were voluntarily distributed by a county judge in Florida among members of his state legislature. In 1891, under an appropriation, made by an association whose conferences reached from Maine to California, of a sum to be distributed among writers of meritorious articles, Alden was selected to write for Massachusetts.
Lucy Morris Chaffee Alden died in Hampden, Massachusetts, December 20, 1912, and is buried at Old Hampden Cemetery in Hampden, Massachusetts.

Hickory Ridge is one of the 10 villages in Columbia, Maryland, United States, located to the west of the Town Center with a 2014 population of 13,000 in 4,659 housing units. The village overlays the former postal community of Elioak. It was first occupied in 1974. Neighborhoods in the village are Hawthorn, Clary's Forest, and Clemens Crossing. The name Hickory Ridge is derived from the 1749 estate "Hickory Ridge" in nearby Highland, which later became the family home of the nephew of hospital and university founder Johns Hopkins.
Clary's Forest is named after John Clary's 100-acre original land grant patented on 10 June 1734. Streets in Clary's Forest are based on the work of William Carlos Williams. Hawthorn is the name of an Amy Lowell poem. The street names come from her work. Clemens Crossing is named after American author Mark Twain, otherwise known as Samuel Clemens, and the street names come from Clemens' work.
The land surrounding Sierra Villas Condominiums and Barnside Condominiums in Clary's Forest originally belonged to the Kahler family farm. The farm's silo remains in the condominium property. The Kahler farm was one of three large tracts originally purchased by Robert Moxley that started the Columbia project in 1963. Hickory Plaza was built on the site of Midway Farm, the last piece of a farm owned by the Bassler family before the creation of the Rouse development.
Services
The Village Center, opened in 1992, has a Giant Food grocery store, bank, restaurants, a gas station, and other establishments. It is the first village center in Columbia built without a collocated community center, which resides in the Hawthorn neighborhood. Howard County General Hospital is located in Hickory Ridge, at the intersection of Little Patuxent Parkway and Cedar Lane.
The Howard County public schools Clemens Crossing Elementary School and Atholton High School are located in Hickory Ridge. Howard Community College is also located in Hickory Ridge.

In Finland, life imprisonment is the maximum criminal penalty. In actual practice, life imprisonment rarely lasts for the remainder of a convict's life; it currently consists of imprisonment in closed prison and possible periods of imprisonment in a halfway house, supervised parole and full parole. The death penalty was abolished in Finland in 1949 for peacetime offences and for all offences in 1972.
Life imprisonment is the only possible penalty for the crime of murder and a possible penalty for treason, espionage, war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, and terrorism resulting in death.
Under the Finnish criminal code of 1889, life imprisonment consisted of at least 12 years of imprisonment after which the convict was conditionally released and remained on probation for the rest of their life. After 1931, release was by presidential pardon and the probationary period was eight years. Today, those sentenced to life imprisonment may be considered for parole after 12 years and most are released after serving between 12 and 20 years.
Since 2006, Helsinki Court of Appeals (Helsingin hovioikeus) has acted as Parole Board and a life prisoner has been considered for parole even after serving 10 years. If the parole is rejected, a new parole hearing is scheduled in 2 years. If the parole is accepted, 3 years of supervised parole follows until full parole, assuming no violations. If the convict was less than 21 years of age when they committed the crime, the first parole hearing is after 10 years served. Juveniles cannot be sentenced to life imprisonment in Finland, the maximum penalty for an offender who was under 18 years of age is 12 years for a single murder and 15 years for multiple murders or sentences where a murder conviction is combined with conviction for other serious crimes.
As of 2017, the longest incarceration for a life sentence convict in Finland has been 22 years. The paroled offender committed another murder the following month and was again sen

The Genčić family house in Belgrade, at 51 Krunska Street, was built in 1929 and has housed the Nikola Tesla Museum since 1952.
Đorđe Genčić
The house was built as the family house of Đorđe Genčić, an industrialist and a politician, the witness and the actor in the political life of Serbia in the last decades of the 19th century.
The Architecture
The house was built between 1927 and 1929, after the design by an architect Dragiša Brašovan who, in the early 1920s moved from Budapest to Zrenjanin and Belgrade. Along with his colleagues Milan Sekulić and M. Petrović – Obućin he founded a design and construction bureau "Architect". Before this villa, Brašovan designed and realized several prominent buildings in Belgrade which made him very famous builder of private houses in Belgrade, and beyond.
The villa Genčić is situated on the corner of Prota Mateja Street and Krunska Street. The construction of the house started in June 1927, and ended in December 1929. The house was conceived as a cubic mass, with the academically divided facade, dominated by the entry part, designed in the form of a triumphal arch. By its architectural and stylistic features, the house belongs to the group of houses where architect Brašovan began the process of a gradual modernization of the academic forms, particularly evident in the equal treatment of all the facades of a particular building. The facade was enlivened with a regular arrangement of window niches and pairs of double columns with Ionic capitals. The balance of masses and the reduced decoration suggest a closer relation with the modern architectural expression.
As far as the interior is concerned, in the ground floor there were a dining room, a kitchen, a salon and a lot more space for the guests' reception. Upstairs, there were bedrooms, a study and a bathroom. All the rooms were grouped around the central hall facing Prota Mateja Street, which spread all the way to the first floor. The construction works were assigned to the

Lex is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers ("scanners" or "lexers").
Lex is commonly used with the yacc parser generator. Lex, originally written by Mike Lesk and Eric Schmidt and described in 1975, is the standard lexical analyzer generator on many Unix systems, and an equivalent tool is specified as part of the POSIX standard.
Lex reads an input stream specifying the lexical analyzer and writes source code which implements the lexical analyzer in the C programming language.
In addition to C, some old versions of Lex could generate a lexer in Ratfor.
Open source
Although originally distributed as proprietary software, some versions of Lex are now open-source. Open-source versions of Lex, based on the original proprietary code, are now distributed with open-source operating systems such as OpenSolaris and Plan 9 from Bell Labs. One popular open-source version of Lex, called flex, or the "fast lexical analyzer", is not derived from proprietary coding.
Structure of a Lex file
The structure of a Lex file is intentionally similar to that of a yacc file: files are divided into three sections, separated by lines that contain only two percent signs, as follows:
The definitions section defines macros and imports header files written in C. It is also possible to write any C code here, which will be copied verbatim into the generated source file.
The rules section associates regular expression patterns with C statements. When the lexer sees text in the input matching a given pattern, it will execute the associated C code.
The C code section contains C statements and functions that are copied verbatim to the generated source file. These statements presumably contain code called by the rules in the rules section. In large programs it is more convenient to place this code in a separate file linked in at compile time.
Example of a Lex file
The following is an example Lex file for the flex version of Lex. It recognizes strings of numbers (positive integers) i

Carrog is a village in Denbighshire, Wales, near Corwen. Formerly referred to as Llansanffraid-Glyn Dyfrdwy, as it lies within the parish of Llansanffraid Glyndyfrdwy, it takes its modern name from the Great Western Railway station on the opposite bank of the River Dee, which in turn took its name (possibly to avoid confusion with the adjacent Glyn Dyfrdwy station and that in Llansanffraid Glan Conwy) from the Carrog estate on that bank. It is in the community of Corwen.
Carrog railway station is part of the Llangollen Railway and is a passing place on the line, now the extension to Corwen past the site of Bonwm has been opened. One notable resident of Carrog is Peredur Lynch who graduated from Bangor University to become a literary historian. Carrog has one primary school, Ysgol Carrog, which is over 100 years old.

The Great Western Railway purchased two diesel shunters, and ordered a further seven immediately prior to Nationalisation, which were delivered to British Rail in 1948–49. The two shunters used by the GWR were numbered 1 and 2, while a series commencing at 501 was planned for the new locomotives ordered in the 1940s. British Rail renumbered both its inherited and new locomotives in a series commencing from 15100.
1
This locomotive was built by Fowler in 1933 and was used at Swindon Works. It was an 0-4-0 diesel mechanical shunter with a engine, diameter wheels and a wheelbase of . It was very similar to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway's (LMS) departmental locomotive number 2, which was built a couple of years later. It was withdrawn in 1940 and sold to the Ministry of Supply.
2 / 15100
This locomotive was built by Hawthorn Leslie in 1936 and allocated to Swindon. It was a 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter, very similar to the LMS 7069 class (later British Rail Class D3/6), and with a close family resemblance to the Southern Railway Maunsell 350 hp DMS (SR 1 - SR3). It was renumbered 15100 by British Rail in 1948, withdrawn by them in 1965 and scrapped in early 1966.

Charles Auguste de Bériot (20 February 18028 April 1870) was a Belgian violinist, artist and composer.
Biography
Charles de Bériot was born in 1802 in Leuven, Belgium (then under French rule) into a noble family but was orphaned at the age of nine. He was given to the custody of his music teacher and friend of his father, Jean-François Tiby (1772–1844). De Bériot began studying violin with Tiby, who trained him in the French style as exemplified by Giovanni Battista Viotti. In 1811 he performed for the first time in public, playing a concerto by Viotti. François-Joseph Fétis says that Tiby sent de Bériot to Paris at the age of 12 (1814), however de Bériot's own correspondence confirms that he only arrived in Paris in 1821. This mistake is attributed to the advanced age at which Fétis wrote his final biographical note on de Bériot. While in Paris, de Bériot studied briefly at the Paris Conservatory under Pierre Baillot and played for Rodolphe Kreutzer and Viotti. The latter encouraged de Bériot to "..listen a lot...and take what seems good to you, be like the bees and you will create a genre..."
After being refused a subsidy by William I of the Netherlands, he returned briefly to Belgium in 1822. The following year he returned to Paris where he taught and performed. In 1824 he made a concert tour in England and was named violinist to Charles X of France in 1826 and in 1827, solo violinist at the court of William I of the Netherlands.
De Bériot and Niccolo Paganini's careers ran parallel for many years even though de Bériot was 20 years younger than Paganini. In much of northern Europe the two virtuoso's playing styles were often compared, including in a small publication which appeared in 1831.
De Bériot lived with the opera singer Maria Malibran and had a child (Charles-Wilfrid de Bériot, a piano professor who taught Maurice Ravel, Ricardo Viñes, Enrique Granados and others) with her in 1833. They were married in 1836 when Malibran obtained an annulment of her p

Eastern Zhou was an ancient Chinese state during the Warring States period. Its capital was Gong (鞏), located just southwest of present-day Gongyi, a county-level city in Zhengzhou of Henan Province.
Duke Hui of Western Zhou (西周惠公) succeeded his father Duke Wei in 367 BC. His younger brother Prince Gen (公子根) occupied eastern part of the state and revolted against Duke Hui. With the armed assistance of Zhao and Han, Eastern Zhou won independence from Western Zhou. The two tiny duchies attacked on each other. The kings of Zhou had lost almost all political and military power, even their remaining crown land was occupied by the two tiny duchies. Since 307 BC, Eastern Zhou became a vassal state of Qin.
Kings of Zhou lived in the state of Eastern Zhou, however, during King Nan's reign, duke of Eastern Zhou refused to pay tribute to the king and deported him to Western Zhou.
Eastern Zhou was annexed by Qin in 249 BC, the last ruler was killed by Lü Buwei due to his disloyalty to Qin.

Pseudokinases are catalytically-deficient pseudoenzyme variants of protein kinases that are represented in all kinomes across the kingdoms of life. Pseudokinases have both physiological (signal transduction) and pathophysiological functions.
History
The phrase pseudokinase was first coined in 2002. They were subsequently sub-classified into different 'classes'. Several pseudokinase-containing families are found in the human kinome, including the Tribbles pseudokinases, which are at the interface between kinase and ubiquitin E3 ligase signalling.
The human pseudokinases (and their pseudophosphatase cousins) are implicated in a wide variety of diseases, which has made them potential drug targets and antitargets). Pseudokinases are made up of an evolutionary mixture of eukaryotic protein kinase (ePK) and non ePK-related pseudoenzyme proteins (e.g., FAM20A, which binds ATP and is pseudokinase due to a conserved glutamate to glutamine swap in the alpha-C helix. FAM20A is implicated in periodontal disease, and serves to control the catalytic activity of FAM20C, an important physiological casein kinase that controls phosphorylation of proteins in the Golgi apparatus that are destined for secretion, such as the milk protein casein.
A comprehensive evolutionary analysis confirms that pseudokinases group into multiple subfamilies, and these are found in the annotated kinome of organisms across the kingdoms of life, including prokaryotes, archaea and all eukaryotic lineages with an annotated proteome; this data is searchable in ProKino (http://vulcan.cs.uga.edu/prokino/about/browser).

The ZIL-41047 is a limousine built by ZIL of Russia. Production of ZIL models ceased in 2002 due to their previous customer base turning to more modern Western vehicles. Some last ones were built before year 2017.
Description
The Zil has seven seats including the driver. When loaded it weighs . The top speed with two persons is listed as "not less than 190 km/h (118 mph)". It is powered by a 7.7 L (469 cubic inch) carbureted V8 giving 232 kW (315 hp SAE Gross) at 4,400 revs per minute. This engine drives the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission with the following ratios.
First gear: 2.02:1
Second gear: 1.42:1
Third gear: 1:1
Reverse: 1.42:1
It replaced the ZIL-4104 in 1985 and had virtually no mechanical changes compared with that model. The only major changes have been in the styling, which in some respects, notably in the rear-view mirrors, was subtly modernised compared to the styling of previous ZIL models. The front turn indicators were also modernised, with the rectangular horizontal line giving way to a more vertically oriented, door-like shape. The front headlights were also restyled, as was the rear parcel shelf.

A parachute tower is a tower used for parachute training, often by members of a military paratroop unit. A mixture of tower heights are used at different stages of training. Trainees typically begin on towers around in height in fall-arrest harnesses before progressing onto parachute descents from towers that can be in excess of . The use of towers allows trainees to practice their landing technique before jumping from an aircraft.
Use
Parachute towers are used to train people, particularly military paratroopers, in parachute jump technique. Towers are typically divided into low towers of approximately and high towers of around or higher. The shorter towers are used by trainees jumping in harnesses with a fall-restraint cable to simulate the exit from an aircraft and safe landing technique.
Trainees then pass onto the high tower jumps with parachutes. The high tower typically has one or more arms at the top from which the trainee is winched up into the air and released to descend by parachute. The parachutes used are specific variants developed for training and were originally modified commercial systems, though the US military later developed the Type J-I parachute specifically for high tower jumps.
The high tower allows trainees to practice the "body landing" (or parachute landing fall) technique, which is essential to avoid injuries such as broken legs or ankles. The high tower can also be used to carry out "shock harness drills", intended to simulate the initial shock of a parachute canopy opening. The trainee is hauled up into the air and dropped to free fall approximately before being brought to a complete stop. After high tower training is passed troops proceed onto aircraft jumps from an altitude of approximately . In the United States Army during the Second World War, five jumps from aircraft were sufficient to complete the course; the British Army required trainees to undertake an additional two jumps from tethered balloons prior to jumping from air

Hagerman's Corners is a dispersed rural community in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Located at 14th Avenue and Kennedy Road, the former farm lands have disappeared and given way to homes and commercial parks. It is geographically located between the communities of Milliken Mills and Unionville, within the city of Markham.
Hagerman's Corners was founded in 1803 by Nicholas Hagerman, who owned the property at the NW corner of the intersection. By 1878 the village had a hotel (Bee Hive Hotel) and tavern, a general store and post office (1873), and a wagon maker. In 1849, a Wesleyan Methodist church was built on a private Hagerman family burying ground; the wood-frame church was replaced by a brick building in 1874. While the church was torn down in the 1920s, the cemetery on the east side of Kennedy Road (on James Fairless' farm), north of 14th Avenue remains with former Presbyterian church demolished. A few historical homes still exist and have been revitalized in an attempt to beautify the area.
Today, the west side of Kennedy Road is home to a new public housing project for the city of Markham. Two small strip malls with mostly Chinese stores are located on the southwest corner of 14th Avenue and Kennedy Road. One of the shopping areas houses the First Choice Supermarket, a Chinese-based supermarket (formerly Big Land Farm) and Tim Hortons; the other is home to various Asian restaurants. Hagerman Mennonite Church has met in the village since 1932.

The Cemerung Waterfall is located in the Dungun District, Terengganu state in Malaysia. It is estimated to be 250 metres tall.
Reaching the Cemerong fall is quite an expedition because of its remoteness and lack of signage. From Kuantan, one has to follow the Inland Highway to Kuala Terengganu. There is a river halfway, known as the Paka river. The first road to the left in front of the river leads to a junction, which is at the coordinates 04° 35.854' N 103° 12.542' E. From this junction, it is about 30 km on a tarred road to the Entrance of the Recreation Park.
From the coastal highway, one can cross over to the Inland one at Kemaman or Dungun.

The Gas Stokers' strike of 1872 was a serious political disturbance in the industrial south-eastern districts of Victorian London involving trade unionists striking to assert their rights. The reaction of the radical Liberal ministry and the court case that preceded it proved a landmark in British industrial relations law. The shifting sands of the constitution and changing rights of workers informed the passage a decade later of Third Reform Act, enfranchising working-men for the first time.
Even the most enlightened Manchester Liberal capitalists were hostile to trade unionists during the downturn of the early 1870s. The cabinet ministers William Harcourt, Forster, Hughes, and A. J. Mundella were major participants in legislation to reform trade unionism laws in 1873. In 1872, Henry James, the employment minister, drafted a new piece of trade union law.
History
In November 1872, the London gas stokers went out on strike at the Chartered Gas Company, which had already summarily dismissed 1400 workers. Five of the ringleaders were brought before the central criminal court and Justice William Brett, known for his conservatism, and harsh attitude towards industrial disputes; but the accused on this occasion were charged with criminal conspiracy in R v. Bunn and Others (1872-3): the five men were John Bunn, George Ray, Edward Jones, Robert Wilson and Thomas Dilley.
There was also disturbances at the Beckton Works of Gas and Coke Company. The Gas Stokers Defence Committee sent a letter of appeal to the Home Secretary. The members of the committee were: H. King, George Potter, M. Sinclair, W. Osborne, Henry Broadhurst, Mr. Bailey, Daniel Guile, George Odger, George Shipton. Henry Broadhurst the secretary was already involved with the Reform League, was a mason and joined the Stonemasons Union. He was later a Liberal MP, and in 1886 became the first working-man to be appointed a minister.

is a video game by Konami originally created as a trilogy for Japanese mobile services i-Mode, Yahoo! Keitai, and EZweb, and later compiled into one game released internationally for iOS and WiiWare.
Gameplay
The player controls Hitoshi Susumu, a businessman who is running late, as he runs forward in a two-dimensional perspective and avoids a variety of obstacles on his way to reach each level's goal line, where a dance party is being held. Each level has a time limit, and the player must try to avoid slowing down by colliding with people, objects, and creatures, and must collect time and speed bonus balloons to ensure that Susumu can complete the level before time runs out. As Susumu runs automatically, the single button or touch screen available to the player will either make Susumu jump, or if an obstacle is nearby, Susumu will dodge or surmount the obstacle if the button is pressed with the appropriate timing, with especially accurate "great" reaction times allowing Susumu to pass through the level with greater ease and speed, and offering him additional time bonuses. Occasional specific actions or collisions with obstacles send Susumu to hidden areas with no obstacles, bonus coins, and time and speed items.
As the game is played, wisecracks about what is occurring in-game scroll across the screen in the style of user comments on Japanese video-sharing website Nico Nico Douga. Once the goal line is crossed, the dance party begins, and the player can press the button or touch screen to the rhythm of the lines appearing on-screen for bonus points.
In the WiiWare version, local 2 to 4 player multiplayer versus modes are available, which include additional items that hinder the progress of the competing players when collected.
Development
Motion capture performances of Japanese breakdancer ISOPP were used to create the game's animations.

The law of Papua New Guinea consists of the Constitution, ordinary statutes enacted by Parliament or adopted at independence from overseas (together with their pendant regulations) and judge-made law.
Constitution
The Constitution is "autochthonous" (a constitutional term of art also used in Malaysia and meaning, literally, "aboriginal," indicating that legal continuity with the former metropolitan power was severed and the Constitution enacted by a constitutional convention of the newly independent state — as in the US after the American Revolution — rather than by an imperial parliament as in the case of the Constitutions of Canada and Australia). It is "entrenched," meaning that its provisions overbear any ordinary statutory enactments which the courts find to be inconsistent with it, in accordance with the constitutional authority of Marbury v. Madison, the case which established the principle of judicial review in the USA, the first modern state to have an entrenched constitution.
The Constitution contains a select number of human rights:
the right to life, liberty and security of person and protection of the law
the right to take part in political activities
freedom from inhuman treatment and forced labour
freedom of conscience, expression, information, assembly and association
freedom of employment and movement
the right to privacy and property
During the period of self-government from 1973 to 1975 during which the Constitution was drafted and arrangements for full sovereignty were made it was contemplated that as with most former colonies and trust territories in the British Commonwealth Papua New Guinea would wish to have its own indigenous head of state, and the Constitution specifically refers to the "Head of State" rather than to the King or the Crown. In the event, PNG chose to retain the monarchy and there have been no serious moves to alter that arrangement. In practice, the governor-general, chosen by free vote of sitting members of parliam

Cuckoo is a small unincorporated community in Louisa County, Virginia, United States. It is located about eight miles southeast of Louisa, roughly between Charlottesville and Richmond. The Cuckoo Tavern stood nearby, which in 1781 was the beginning of Jack Jouett's ride to warn the Colonists of the arrival of Banastre Tarleton's British cavalry (similar to Paul Revere's Ride). There was also a large house named Cuckoo built in 1819 for Henry Pendleton on the former property of William Overton Callis. A historical marker is at the spot. Its post office has been closed.
The tavern was named for the cuckoo clock on the wall, supposedly one of the first in Virginia.
George Jackson, the father of Shirley Ann Jackson, American nuclear physicist and President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, was a native of Cuckoo.
Earthquake
On Tuesday August 23, 2011, at 1:51 PM ET a magnitude 5.8 earthquake was recorded 2.4 mi (3.9 km) SW of Cuckoo on the western bank of Indian Creek. It was felt from Atlanta, Georgia to Quebec City, Quebec, Canada and as far west as Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Whitefish River is a river in Sudbury District in northeastern Ontario, Canada and a tributary of Lake Huron.
Course
The river begins at Daisy Lake in the city of Greater Sudbury. It flows through Richard, McFarlane and Long Lakes to the unincorporated Eden township, where it flows into Round Lake on the Whitefish Lake Ojibwa reserve. From Round Lake, the river flows into Lake Panache.
Near the western end of Lake Panache, the river flows into Walker Lake, Little Bear Lake and Plunge Lake along the outer boundary of Killarney Lakelands and Headwaters Provincial Park. Where Plunge Lake joins Hannah Lake, the river flows westward, entering Lang Lake. It picks up the Howry Creek system as a tributary at the Whitefish River reserve, and subsequently flows into Charlton Lake. At Willisville, the Cranberry River system also flows into the Whitefish River. The river then flows a short distance further, takes in the right tributary West River, and reaches Whitefish Falls, where it ends at the Bay of Islands on the North Channel of Lake Huron.

Marie Soldat-Roeger (born in Graz (Styria), March 25, 1863, died in Graz (Styria), September 30, 1955) was a violin virtuoso active in orchestral and chamber music in the Vienna of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A pupil of violin master Joseph Joachim, she was born 'Marie Soldat', but in 1889 married a lawyer named Roeger.
While studying with Joachim at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, she won the Mendelssohn Prize in 1880.
Marie Soldat-Roeger became friends with Marie Baumayer, an Austrian pianist, Baumayer was friends with Clara Wittingstein (part of the important Wittgenstein family) and Johannes Brahms. The latter introduced her to Joseph Joachim, who trained her in violin. For many years, she was the only woman to play Brahms's Violin Concerto.
In the late 1880s and early 1890s, she formed an all-female string quartet, in which she played first violin. Agnes Tschetschulin played second violin, Gabriele Roy played viola and Lucy Hebert Campbell played cello. The group toured and was managed by the Herman Wolff Agency, which also managed the Berlin Philharmonic. The group was billed as the world's first all-female professional string quartet.
In 1896, she founded the celebrated, all-female Soldat-Roeger Quartet, whose viola-player was Natalie Bauer-Lechner, Elsa Edle von Plank as second violinist (replacing Ella Finger-Bailetti in 1898), and Leontine Gärtner as cellist (replacing Lucy Herbert Campbell in 1903). This quartet would perform at Soirées musicales presenting modern music.

John Abraham Slezer (before 1650 – 1717) was a Dutch-born military engineer and artist.
Life
He was born in Holland and began a military career in service to the House of Orange.
He arrived in the Kingdom of Scotland in 1669, and was appointed Surveyor of his Majesties Stores and Magazines, which involved compiling detailed surveys of the country's fortifications. He is best known for his Theatrum Scotiae, a series of engravings of views of castles, abbeys, towns, and seats of the nobility he encountered whilst travelling throughout Scotland in his capacity as Captain of the Artillery Company.
He was raised to the rank of Captain in 1688 and imprisoned later that year as a supporter of King James VII, following the latter's deposition in favour of William III and Mary II, but was released the following year. He published the first volume of Theatrum Scotiae in 1693, but sales were poor and he applied to the Government for a grant to proceed with a continuation of the work that was to be called Scotia Ilustrata. This never materialised, however, and increasing financial difficulties forced Slezer to spend the last years of his life in the Holyrood Abbey sanctuary to avoid debtors' prison.
He died on 24 June 1714.
Family
He married Jean Straiton, a native of Dundee.

Mikhail Mishaqa or Michael Mishaka (March 20, 1800 – July 19, 1888; , ), also known as Doctor Mishaqa, was born in Rashmayyā, Lebanon, and is reputed to be "the first historian of modern Ottoman Syria" as well as the "virtual founder of the twenty-four equal quarter tone scale". Mishaqa's memoir of the 1860 Mount Lebanon civil war is valuable to historians, as it is the only account written by a survivor of the massacre of Syrian Christians in Damascus, Syria. In 1859 he was appointed vice-consul of the United States in Damascus.
Personal life
Mikhail's great-grandfather, Jirjis Mishaqa I, converted to Greek Catholicism. Jirjis' father, Youssef Petraki, an ethnic Greek and Christian Orthodox, moved from Corfu, Greece to Tripoli, Lebanon to pursue the silk trade. As such, Petraki, named himself after an Arabic term describing the process of filtering silk fibres, mishaqa (). Mikhail's father, Jirjis Mishaqa II, moved to Deir al-Qamar, then controlled by the Shihabs, to escape the religious repression of al-Jazzar, the governor of Sidon. In 1848, Mikhail Mishaqa converted from Greek Catholicism to Protestantism, after coming in contact with American Protestant missionaries and reading a translation of Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion... by Alexander Keith.
Career
Mikhail Mishaqa began his career as a goldsmith but became a scribe and then chief treasurer for the Amir of Mount Lebanon, Bashir II's household. According to Leila Fawaz, Mikhail was well-educated;"At the first opportunity he showed off his knowledge and the ignorance of the offender. In such ways, Mishaqa continued to educate himself. He taught himself medicine and became a doctor." According to Touma, Mishaqa was the first theorist to propose a division of the octave into roughly twenty-four equal intervals (24-tone equal temperament, quarter tone scale, ), this being the current basis of the Arab tone system. However, Mishaqa's work "Essay on the Art of Music for the Emir Shihāb" (, al

The Pacman conjecture holds that durable-goods monopolists have complete market power and so can exercise perfect price discrimination, thus extracting the total surplus. This is in contrast to the Coase conjecture which holds that a durable goods monopolist has no market power, and so price is equal to the competitive market price.
In a December 1989 journal article Mark Bagnoli, Stephen W. Salant, and Joseph E. Swierzbinski theorized that if each consumer could be relied upon to buy a good as soon as its price dipped below a certain point (with different consumers valuing goods differently, but all pursuing the same "get-it-while-you-can" strategy), then a monopolist could set prices very high initially and then "eat his way down the demand curve", extracting maximum profit in what Bagnoli et al. called "the Pacman strategy" after the voracious video-game character. Specifically, Bagnoli et al. state that "Pacman is a sequential best reply to get-it-while-you-can", a result they call "the Pacman Theorem". Their proof, however, relies strongly on the assumption that there is an infinite time horizon.
Durable-goods monopolists and the Coase conjecture
A durable-goods monopolist sells goods which are in finite supply and which last forever, (not depreciating over time). According to the Coase Conjecture, such a monopolist has no market power as it is in competition with itself; the more of the good it sells in period one the less it will be able to sell in future periods.
Assuming marginal costs are zero. In the first period the monopolist will produce quantity (Q1) where marginal cost = marginal revenue and so extract the monopoly surplus. However, in the second period the monopolist will face a new residual demand curve (Q − Q1) and so will produce quantity where the new marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost, which is at the competitive market price.
There is then an incentive for consumers to delay purchase of the good as they realize that its price

Jacob studied at the Paris Conservatory with Charles Koechlin and André Gedalge; an admirer of Darius Milhaud and Erik Satie, he was a member of the École d'Arcueil, a group of young composers sponsored by Satie after his rupture with his previous group of protégés, Les Six. Other members of this short-lived group included Henri Cliquet-Pleyel, Henri Sauguet and Roger Désormière.
In 1927, Jacob worked with Antonin Artaud at the Théâtre Alfred Jarry composing the score for his production of Ventre brûlé; ou La Mère folle (1927).:252
In 1929, Jacob converted from Judaism to Catholicism (influenced by Jacques Maritain) and became a Benedictine monk. He would go on to study organ with Maurice Duruflé, as well as Gregorian chant.

William Murray Gloag (15 March 1865 – 5 February 1934) was a Scottish lawyer and academic. His The Law of Contract, first published in 1914, is considered one of the most authoritative texts on Scots contract law. His two immediate successors in the Regius Chair of Law at Glasgow University described him as "the outstanding jurist of the century" and "the most remarkable legal scholar who has ever held this Chair".
Early life
Gloag was born in Edinburgh in 1865, the son of William Ellis Gloag, Lord Kincairney, a Senator of the College of Justice from 1889 to 1905. He was educated at Edinburgh Academy and studied at Balliol College, Oxford, graduating with a first-class degree in modern history in 1888. He then studied at the School of Law of the University of Edinburgh and began practice as an advocate in 1889.
Career
Gloag lectured on Procedure and Evidence at the University of Edinburgh from 1902 until 1905, when he was appointed Regius Professor of Law at the University of Glasgow.
He was made a King's Counsel in 1909.
Alan Rodger, in a biographical note, describes him as "an inspired teacher" who "spoke without notes and sprinkled his trenchant remarks with a dry wit". Whilst Regius Professor, he published his two most influential works: Law of Contract (1914) and Introduction to the Law of Scotland with R Candish Henderson (1927). The 13th edition of Gloag and Henderson, as it is known, was published in 2012, with Hector MacQueen as the lead author. Gloag did, John Blackie has observed, "write an awfully large amount of legal literature... the total length of the books in which [he] was sole or joint author with another comes to 2302 pages. There were no word processors. And he was disabled in one arm." (Despite this disability, Gloag was an accomplished golfer who achieved a hole in one at the Senate Match between the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen in 1907.)
Whilst Regius Professor, Gloag lived at No. 3 The Square, in the houses which were formerl

Oakland Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Trenton, Tennessee. Established in the Antebellum era, it includes two Confederate monuments, and a third monument to Trenton Cotton Mills employees. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The smaller Ward cemetery lies at the south-western corner of Oakland cemetery.
History
The cemetery was established in 1825.
In the aftermath of the American Civil War of 1861–1865, many local veterans of the Confederate States Army were buried here. By 1900, the United Daughters of the Confederacy commissioned the construction of a Confederate monument in their memory, with a Bonnie Blue Flag in the center.
There is a second Confederate memorial with the names of CSA veterans in the cemetery: an inscription on the gazebo, enhanced by a metal plaque commissioned by the Sons of Confederate Veterans circa 1990.
A third monument was erected by the Dyersburg Corporation for their employees at the historic Trenton Cotton Mills circa 1990.
Notable burials include Confederate colonels Thomas Jones Freeman and Munson Rufus Hill as well as Congressmen Robert Porter Caldwell and James C. McDearmon. Other notables include Congressman Pleasant Moorman Miller.
The cemetery has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 20, 2007.
Ward African-American cemetery
On 16 January 1940, Sam and Eliza Ward purchased 7 acres of land between 8th and 10th Street, Trenton. Part of the parcel became Ward cemetery; it appears on plat drawings dated 21 April 1942. By 1986, most of the remainder of the original Ward purchase had been bought by the City of Trenton and was used to extend Oakland cemetery.Today, Oakland forms the northern and eastern boundaries of Ward cemetery. By 2019, Ward cemetery held least 162 burials.

Astria Regional Medical Center was a 150-bed hospital located in Yakima, Washington.
This hospital was a Level III adult trauma center.
Astria Regional Medical Center closed January 13, 2020.
History
On August 2, 1891, the Sisters of Charity of Providence agreed to take care of sick government workers and the residents of Yakima, thus creating Yakima's first and only hospital, a distinction that was held for more than 59 years.
The first hospital was a 7-room house on the corner of Yakima and Naches Avenues. The hospital cared for 37 patients the first year, and within a year the hospital moved to a larger building to keep up with the capacity.
St. Elizabeth's grew from performing their first surgery on a kitchen table in the 1890s to opening the first coronary care unit in the state in the 1960s and the region's first comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation facility in the 1980s. In 1994, St. Elizabeth Medical Center became Providence Yakima Medical Center, and in 2003 the name was changed to Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center. In 2017, the hospital joined a healthcare system called Astria Health and was renamed Astria Regional Medical Center. The cardiac services were expanded and within the hospital, the expert cardiology staff, state of the art facilities and cardiac programs were renamed Astria Heart Institute.
Accredited by the Joint Commission.
Astria Health, which runs hospitals in Yakima, Toppenish and Sunnyside and a family of clinics throughout the Yakima Valley, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May, 2019.
Astria Regional Medical Center closed January 13, 2019.

The state of Washington entered into an agreement to lease Astria Regional Medical Center as a temporary field hospital to support the state of Washington during the COVID-19 epidemic. The state is planning to lease the building through September 30, 2020 and will pay $1.5 Million for the lease. The medical center is planning on being staffed by 80 staff from t

Romano Alquati (11 February 1935 – 3 April 2010) was an Italian sociologist, political theorist and activist. He was known for his work for Operaist journal Quaderni Rossi and his Marxist analysis of labour practices at Italian companies FIAT and Olivetti.
Early life
Alquati was born in 1935 in Klana, Croatia, where his father had been exiled because of his left-wing stance within the Italian Fascist party. When Alquati was 10, his father was executed by partisans in Vercelli in northern Italy. Alquati grew up in Cremona, where he shaped his political consciousness through meeting left-wing political militants, including Danilo Montaldi.
Operaismo
Before moving to Turin, he lived in Milan, at the political commune at via Sirtori 2.
He moved to Turin when he was 25, where he joined the editorial staff of the political journal Quaderni Rossi alongside Raniero Panzieri, and in 1963 founded the journal Classe Operaia ('Working Class') with Mario Tronti and Antonio Negri
Alquati's work studying labour practices in the Fiat factory in Turin was an early contribution to the sociology of work in Italy. He was influenced by the methodology of Danilo Montaldi and the barefoot researchers: he worked at the factories he was studying and lived with other workers. In this way, Alquati studied labour practices at the FIAT Mirafiori factory and at an Olivetti factory. His work stressed the nuances of and differences in the working class, and contributed to the idea of class composition developed by Operaist thinkers.
Academic career
In the early 1970s, Alquati left the factories to teach in universities, and continued to teach throughout the 1980s. His work anticipated deindustrialisation and the emergence of the service sector. During this period, his political thought diverged from earlier allies such as Toni Negri and Mario Tronti. He produced a study of the relationship of universities to the working class, and taught a course on the subject at the University of Turin u

Melaleuca acutifolia is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has small, pointed, oval leaves and in summer, heads of white flowers. The species was originally described as a variety of Melaleuca lateriflora but was raised to species status in 2010.
Description
Melaleuca acutifolia is a shrub or small tree which grows to a height of about and has grey papery bark. The leaves are arranged alternately and are long, wide, oval to very narrow oval in shape, tapering to a point and often with a few fine hairs on the surface.
The flowers are white and in heads on the previous year's shoots, each head containing up to 15 flowers and up to in diameter. The stamens are in five bundles around the flower, each bundle with 10 to 22 stamens. Flowering occurs in summer and the fruit that follow are woody capsules long.
Taxonomy and naming
Melaleuca lateriflora var. acutifolia was first described in 1867 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis. It was raised to species status as Melaleuca acutifolia in 2010 by Lyndley Craven and Brendan Lepschi. The specific epithet (acutifolia) is from the Latin acutus meaning "pointed" and folium meaning "leaf".
Distribution and habitat
This species occurs in the Kalbarri and Yalgoo districts south to the Waroona district in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Murchison, Swan Coastal Plain and Yalgoo biogeographic regions. It grows in woodland and dense heath in clay loam and sandy clay, sometimes on the edge of saltpans.
Conservation status
This species is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.

The Terreiro de Jesus is a plaza located in the Historic Center of Salvador de Bahia in Brazil. The square is located in the oldest part of the city and abuts the Praça da Sé. The Cathedral Basilica of Salvador, formerly the school and church of the Jesuits, is the most prominent structure in the Terreiro de Jesus, and occupies the west of the square. The plaza takes its names from the society. It was renovated in the mid-20th century by the landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. It is officially known as the Praça 15 de Novembro, and forms a central cultural and historical center of the city.
History
After the foundation of Salvador by the Portuguese, Governor-General Tomé de Sousa granted the Jesuits a land grant in the northern section of the new city. The Jesuits, led by Father Manuel da Nóbrega constructed a small chapel and the Colégio dos Jesuítas (Jesuit School). The presence of many Jesuit priests in the area surrounding the church and school led to the plaza being known as the "Terreiro de Jesus." Construction on the Jesuit School finished in 1590. Portuguese explorer and naturalist 1584, Gabriel Soares de Sousa, who visited Salvador in 1584, wrote one of the first descriptions of the Terreiro de Jesus. In his book Notícia do Brasil (1587) Gabriel Soares de Sousa described the Terrerio de Jesus as "... ocupa este terreiro e parte da rua da banda do mar um suntuoso colégio dos padres da Companhia de Jesus, com uma formosa e alegre igreja..."
The initial church constructed on the site in the sixteenth century was very small. Between 1652 and 1672, the Jesuits build a larger, palatial church, which contemporary observers considered to be the most impressive religious building in 17th century Brazil. The Mannerist facade of the building was built with marble imported from Portugal. The interior had magnificent tile walls, an elaborate painted wood ceiling depicting notable Jesuits, and furniture inlaid with tortoise shell.

The Cherry Creek Rockshelter is an archaeological site in central Colorado, located within modern-day Castlewood Canyon State Park near
Franktown, Colorado. Current research indicates that it was used by Native American inhabitants beginning in the Archaic period. The site is situated on the Palmer Divide, which allowed for a unique prehistoric environment that contributed to an abundance of food and water sources, as well as lithic materials for tool-making. These factors, combined with the structure and situation of the shelter itself, made the site a particularly attractive environment for prehistoric peoples to settle in. Archaeological study of the site began in 1955, with the most current original research concluding in 2002.
Geography
The park and archaeological site are located within the northern reaches of the Black Forest, a relatively isolated area of montane forest surrounded by drier grasslands. This forest is nurtured by the increase in elevation provided by the Palmer Divide, which allows for a higher amount of precipitation than is typical for central Colorado. The site is situated on the western bank of Cherry Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River that flows north through the park. With its maximum exposure to the south, the shelter is in an ideal position to shield inhabitants from cold northern winds while allowing for abundant solar radiation to warm the site.
This area of Colorado has historically had a diverse ecosystem, with sources of abundant food, water, shelter, and lithic materials for stone tool manufacture. Such factors encouraged human settlement of the area.
This region experienced a notable diversity of floral and faunal species similar to those of the nearby Rocky Mountain foothills, but with a zonation of larger plants that differentiates the ecosystem of the Palmer Divide from similar environments. Prehistoric animal species included bison, antelope, deer, rabbits, and other animals that would have provided an abundant

The Athletic News Cricket Annual was one of several sporting annuals published initially by the Athletic News, a Manchester-based newspaper devoted almost entirely to reporting sports events. It was first issued in 1888 and it had reached its 48th edition by 1939 (after omitting the First World War years). By that time it was generally including over 200 pages together with a small number of photographs. As well as containing test match and county championship records, this particular cricket annual differed from a number of similar publications by the depth of its coverage of certain minor leagues — especially those in the north of England (close to its home base) and also in Scotland.
After World War II it reappeared as the Athletic News Cricket and Golf Annual (1946), then subsequently – from its 50th year – as the Sunday Chronicle Cricket and Golf Annual (1947-1954), before one last year as the Sunday Chronicle Cricket Annual (1955). Like its companion volume the Athletic News Football Annual it was for many years edited by 'Tityrus' (J A H Catton) and afterwards by Ivan Sharpe.

Ella Hudson Gasking, née Batchelor (4 April 1891 – 17 December 1966), was a prominent British businesswoman in the food manufacturing sector as chairman and managing director of Batchelors, and was one of Sheffield's best-known industrialists in the 20th century. She was known in business as Mrs E. H. Gasking.
Early life
Ella Hudson Batchelor was born in Sheffield in 1891 and was educated at the Central Secondary School in the city. She was the second daughter in the family of at least four sons and two daughters of William and Annie Batchelor. Her father was a tea packer and produce merchant in Sheffield and found a way to preserve vegetables, especially peas, by canning. He opened a factory and the firm, Batchelor's Peas Ltd, had grown to employ 50 people when he died at the age of 53 in 1913. His wife was an invalid and his sons soon left to fight in the First World War, and so it was left to his daughter, who had joined the business aged 18, to take over as managing director of the company.
Career
Although she did a course of teacher training, Ella had had no formal business education. She later said that 'I myself never even dreamed of being a business woman ... I took over because I had to'. Under her leadership the factory expanded and Batchelors became a household name. A 1937 article noted that '... her leadership and business acumen have developed what was originally a small family business into a great undertaking with a turnover of a million a year ... Mrs Gasking believes that knowing whom to trust is half the battle in business. She sums people up astutely, and can tell at once whether or not they are worthy of confidence. Also, she has charm - the power of winning other people.' Her younger brothers Maurice and Frederick joined the Batchelors firm after the First World War.
While peas remained the main product, production expanded to soups, other vegetables and fruit. Ella Gasking opened a new pea canning factory at Wadsley Bridge, Sheffield, in

The Battle of Abu Ghraib was a battle between Iraqi Mujahideen and United States forces at Abu Ghraib prison on April 2, 2005.
Mujahideen linked to Al-Qaeda in Iraq launched a surprise attack on the American section of Abu Ghraib prison, known as Camp Redemption, by firing heavy mortars and rockets at the facility, and then assaulting with small arms, grenades, and vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices. The attempted siege was successfully repelled by the US forces after four hours, resulting in over 40 wounded in action, and an estimate 70 insurgents were killed.
Background
Abu Ghraib prison was a notorious maximum-security prison located in Abu Ghraib, Iraq, west of Baghdad, known for its use by Saddam Hussein to hold political prisoners who were subject to torture and extrajudicial killing. It was closed by Saddam in 2002, but following his overthrow in the Invasion of Iraq a section of the prison was reopened by the United States, which became an internment camp known as Camp Redemption. Despite Abu Ghraib prison being a fortified stronghold for US forces in the Baghdad area, the scandal made it a prime target for Iraqi insurgents.
By the later half of 2004, violence in Iraq was at a low point, and one of the main insurgent groups making attacks, Al-Qaeda in Iraq, was primarily attacking with suicide bombers and car bombs. An internet posting by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in December 2004 stated that Abu Ghraib prison was a target for attack.
Assault
At approximately 7:06 p.m. (UTC+3) on April 2, 2005, a large group of insurgents launched an attack on Camp Redemption, with initial thrust of the attack consisting of multiple rockets and mortars aimed at every area of the US facility. The barrage was quickly followed by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attacking the northwest section of the outer wall perimeter, but detonated approximately 100 meters from the wall, and was unsuccessful in creating a breach. Observers noted the attack was wel

The restructuring of domestic debt in Sri Lanka refers to the financial measures and strategies implemented by the Sri Lankan government to address the country's cash flow difficulties and manage its domestic debt obligations. The move aims to stabilize the nation's economy, enhance fiscal sustainability, and alleviate the burden of debt repayment.
Background
Sri Lanka has been grappling with significant economic challenges, including high levels of external debt and a strained fiscal situation. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated these issues, leading to reduced revenues, increased borrowing, and a decline in foreign exchange reserves. As a result, the government has been facing difficulties in meeting its debt obligations, both domestically and internationally.
Need for debt restructuring
Given the strained financial circumstances, the Sri Lankan government has opted for debt restructuring as a means to manage its domestic debt. This involves renegotiating the terms and conditions of existing debts, such as extending maturity periods, reducing interest rates, or rescheduling payments. The objective is to ease the immediate burden of debt servicing and create a more manageable repayment structure.
Government measures and initiatives
To address the domestic debt crisis, the Sri Lankan government has implemented various measures and initiatives. These may include engaging in discussions with domestic lenders, such as banks and financial institutions, to negotiate new repayment terms. The government may also introduce policies to enhance revenue generation, improve fiscal discipline, and reduce unnecessary expenditures.
Challenges and considerations
Restructuring domestic debt in a cash-strapped economy presents several challenges and considerations. It requires striking a balance between meeting short-term financial obligations and ensuring long-term fiscal sustainability. Additionally, the government must carefully assess the impact of debt restructuring o

Sir Jacobus Arnoldus Combrinck Graaff (4 March 1863 – 5 April 1927), also known as 'Sir James', was a South African cabinet minister, Senator, businessman, and South African Party whip.
Jacobus Graaff, younger brother of Sir David Graaff, was born on the Wolfhuiskloof farm near Villiersdorp in 1863. Following his father's death in 1875, he left Villiersdorp to work with his brother David at the Combrinck & Co. butchery in Cape Town. In partnership with his brother he took over the business in 1881. In 1899 he and his brother co-founded and was a partner in the Imperial Cold Storage and Supply Company.
He was chairman of the Afrikaner Bond's Cape Town branch and was elected to the Legislative Council representing the northwestern Cape in 1903. After the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910, he became a senator. From 1913 to 1920, he was minister without portfolio in Louis Botha's cabinet. He was minister of public works, posts and telegraphs in Jan Smuts's second ministry. He was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in 1917.
In 1907, Jacobus and his brother made a GB£100,000 donation (equivalent to £41,100,000 or R471,195,167 in 2010) for the establishment of the De Villiers Graaff High School in Villiersdorp.
He lived in a large mansion, Bordeaux, on the beach front in Sea Point. Graaffs Pool, the walled off ocean backed tidal pool at Bordeaux, was bequeathed by Graaff to the City of Cape Town and is now a notable point of interest in the area. Graaff was regarded as an expert on animals as well as an eccentric, earned the moniker "Mal Jan" (crazy Jan).
Graaff was buried on his estate in Bellevue, Portervilleweg. He insisted on being buried in a coffin with a glass lid and a working telephone in case he woke from the dead.

Scoundrels is a series of comic adventure novels first published in 2017, by Major Victor Cornwall and Major Arthur St John Trevelyan (the pseudonyms of the authors Duncan Crowe and James Peak, who also feature as the book's unwilling editors). Print copies are published by Black Door Press Ltd, of Fitzrovia, London, and distributed by Turnaround Ltd, of Wood Green, London. Ebooks are published by Farrago Books, an imprint of Prelude Books, Richmond, London.
Scoundrels Volume One
Scoundrels Volume One was formally distributed to UK bookshops on 29 June 2017, quickly selling out the first edition. A second edition, with minor textual changes, was printed in July 2017. A second printing of the second edition was made available in December 2017 and a third printing of the second edition in February 2018. A third edition, with further minor textual changes, was distributed in November 2018.
Background
Revolving around the infamous gentlemen's club of Piccadilly, Scoundrels is the memoirs of the disreputable, antagonistic, and unreconstructed Majors Victor Cornwall and St. John Trevelyan. The book relies on a complex conceit: that both Cornwall and Trevelyan were unhappy at the prospect of the other beginning work on an autobiography for fear of their reputation being sullied. As their lives had been so horribly intertwined since their schooldays, the Majors eventually agreed to write a chapter each, in turn, of a joint autobiography. Scoundrels is epistolary - structured as a series of letters between the Majors, within which are chapters from their shared history. These letters contain a great number of astonishing adventures including panda hunting with the last Chinese Emperor, the storming of the Nazi Castle Kung Hammer, and the heist of a Picasso painting.
Scoundrels Volume One aka, 'Scoundrels' covers 1931–1951.
Critical reception
The book has received universally positive reviews for its humor, lightness of touch, imaginative storylines, and the active rel

Norway's geography is dominated by fjords and islands. As of 2011, the country has thirty-three undersea tunnels, most of which are fixed links. Tunnels are chosen to replace ferries to allow residents of islands and remote peninsulas access to regional centers, where water-crossings are too long for bridges. The Bømlafjord Tunnel is the country's longest, at . Its length is surpassed by that of the Karmøy Tunnel, which opened September 5, 2013.
The Eiksund Tunnel is the world's deepest, reaching below mean sea level. Norway's first subsea tunnel was the Vardø Tunnel, which opened in 1982. Most of the tunnels are built as fixed links, allowing ferry services to be abandoned. In 2010, the first three tunnel in cities, the Bjørvika Tunnel, the Skansen Tunnel and the Knappe Tunnel, were opened, all of which were built as motorways to bypass the city center. Suspended tunnels have been proposed, which could be installed in places too deep for conventional tunnels, such as the Sognefjord.
Current
The following lists all subsea tunnels in use as of 2011. It includes the name, length in meters and feet, depth below mean sea level in meters and feet, the year the tunnel was taken into use with ordinary traffic (which may differ from the year it was officially opened), the road the tunnel carries, the county or counties the tunnel is in, and the municipalities, including any the tunnel passes through. Roads starting with E indicates a European route, while FV indicates a county road without signposted road number; only numbers indicates roadside-numbered county roads which are former national roads.
