Fiesta Broadway was an annual event held in downtown Los Angeles to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Mexican culture and Latin American culture in general. Modeled on Miami's Calle Ocho Festival and harking back to the early 20th-century Fiesta de Los Angeles, it features vendors and musical acts. At its peak, Fiesta Broadway stretched for 36 blocks centered on a long stretch of Broadway and attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors. More recently it has been confined to a few blocks around 1st Street and Broadway and has seen attendance shrink to as little as 7,000. Although the holiday of Cinco de Mayo falls on May 5, which is the meaning of its Spanish name, Fiesta Broadway is always held on the last Sunday in April, since 1995.
History
1990: The first L.A. Fiesta Broadway drew a crowd that was estimated at 500,000. This was the first large-scale attempt to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Los Angeles. A partnership of city officials, KMEX-TV and downtown merchants paid for the $1 million festival, which was taped and telecast over the Spanish-language Univision Network.
1991: The second L.A. Fiesta Broadway cost $2 million and stretched over 36 blocks from Temple Street to Olympic Boulevard, along Hill Street, Broadway and Spring Street. The first year's festival had occupied only 12 blocks on Broadway.The array of performers included the Latin American sensation Xuxa, Lucha Villa, La Prieta Linda and jazz greats Tito Puente and Poncho Sanchez. Other entertainers representing 15 Latin American countries included Fandango, José José and Johnny Canales.
1992: An estimated 600,000 people turned out, attracted in part by a variety of musical acts on nine stages, including Menudo and Selena. Many corporations also sponsored booths at the event.
1994: The fifth L.A. Fiesta Broadway was shut down early by police after a rock and bottle throwing melee broke out. The immediate cause of the disturbance was the closure of the KPWR-FM (Power 106) stage due to overcrowding.

Grand National Films, Inc (or Grand National Pictures, Grand National Productions and Grand National Film Distributing Co.) was an American independent motion picture production-distribution company in operation from 1936 to 1939. The company had no relation to the British Grand National Pictures (although the British firm used the American company's logo).
History and releases
Edward L. Alperson, a film exchange manager, founded Grand National in 1936 on the basis of First Division Pictures, of which he was on the board of directors. What United Artists was to major independent producers, Harry F. Thomas's First Division was to low-budget producers: a convenient releasing outlet for individual pictures, and successful within its own market. Its feature-length releases, usually produced by Mayfair Pictures, Willis Kent, or Bernard B. Ray, were split between westerns, mysteries, "problem" melodramas, and action fare. First Division was also the original distributor of The March of Time, short-subject documentaries that were well received during their first year of production (1935); RKO took over the series after four installments.
In April 1936, Alperson took over First Division's film exchanges, existing product line, and contracts,. As First Division had become synonymous with low-budget productions, Alperson renamed the company Grand National Film Distributing Company, aiming to release content similar to the majors' "program pictures," just like fellow upstart Republic Pictures. By the summer, he had begun development of a California-based production entity, Grand National Productions, at the Educational Pictures studios, to create future product. By October, he had his first original films ready for release. Alperson dreamed up the studio's logo, a futuristic clock tower, with an idea to advertise "it's time to see a Grand National release."
Producer Edward Finney, releasing through Grand National, gave the new company its first star attraction: singing c

The Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) is the arts school at the University of Melbourne in Australia. It is part of the university's Faculty of Fine Arts and Music (FFAM). It is located near the Melbourne city centre on the Southbank campus of the university.
Courses and training offered at the VCA cover eight academic disciplines: dance, film and television, drama, Indigenous arts, music theatre, production, theatre, visual art, and writing, alongside the Centre for Ideas and the Wilin Centre for Indigenous Arts and Cultural Development.
The library on the Southbank campus is known as the Lenton Parr Music, Visual and Performing Arts Library.
History
The Victorian College of the Arts was established in 1972 by a government order under the Victorian Institute of Colleges Act 1955, initiated by the Premier of Victoria and Minister for the Arts, Rupert Hamer. Subsequently, in 1973 the VCA was affiliated as a college of advanced education with the Victorian Institute of Colleges. The National Gallery of Victoria Art School, founded in 1867 to teach fine art, was the VCA's foundation school. This was followed by the establishment of the School of Music in 1974, the School of Drama in 1976, the School of Dance in 1978 and Film and Television (1992).
Also in 1978, the Victorian Education Department under the direction of the Deputy Premier and Minister of Education, Lindsay Thompson, established the Victorian College of the Arts Technical School, a government secondary school for dancers and musicians (see Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School) in close association with the VCA and located on the same campus.
In March 1981, the Minister for the Arts, Norman Lacy, had the Victorian College of the Arts Act passed through the Victorian Parliament. Its purpose was the reconstitution of the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) made necessary by the repeal in 1980 of the Victorian Institute of Colleges Act and to make it "better able to provide for the preparatio

The Nepean Raiders are a Junior ice hockey team from Nepean, Ontario, Canada. They are a part of the Central Canada Hockey League. The town of Nepean was granted expansion after the Cornwall Royals and the Hull Hawks left the CJHL for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Raiders started their operations in the Valley division of the Junior "B" League in 1966, switching over to the Central Junior Hockey League in 1972.
History
Nepean made the finals multiple times between 1972 and 1981. In the 1980s. Steve Yzerman and Darren Pang are still known for being the most-outstanding Raiders in the early era. The Raiders struggled in the 1980s and 1990s missing the playoffs multiple times, and set a season-record for the most-penalized CJHL team in 1995-96.
The Nepean Raiders came under new ownership with Gord Black in 1998. Black had previously attempted to purchase the Ottawa 67's. Black introduced a new logo, similar to the one used by the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League, that was discontinued in 2014, with minor alterations. This logo was discontinued in 2009 when new ownership took over the Raiders organization, but still used as an alternate logo as the previous logo was revived.
In 2002-03, the Nepean Raiders broke a 22-year old championship appearance drought by winning the semi-finals against the Gloucester Rangers in 7 games. The Art Bogart Cup final was an easy task for the Raiders winning the series in 5 games against the Ottawa Junior Senators. At the Fred Page Cup in Cornwall, the Raiders finished 3rd and knocked off the hosts Cornwall Colts in the semi-finals, and lost the final to the Lennoxville Cougars.
The 2003-04 season saw 13 returning players poised to defend their championship season from before. The Raiders won a hard-fought series with the Gloucester Rangers, where game 7 was a nervous showdown where Nepean held on for a 1-0 win sending them to the Fred Page Cup in Valleyfield, Quebec. Nepean dropped the first 2 games t

In the episode, Nick and Monroe set off to Germany in order to find a treasure hidden in a field but local Wesen are closing on them to stop them from finding what they are looking for. Meanwhile, Renard helps Dixon with his campaign but there's an assassination attempt on Dixon that may trigger the elections.
The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the new storyline and the set-up for the next episode.
Plot
Opening quote: "It is not down in any map; true places never are."
Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby), Wu (Reggie Lee), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Rosalee (Bree Turner), and Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) continue to search for clues in the Map of the Seven Knights. Nick has a flashback of his mother, Kelly, telling him about the legendary seven keys belonging to seven knights, ancestors to all Grimm. The knights fought for seven royal families in the Fourth Crusade. The seven keys together made a map showing where the knights hid the wealth they took from Constantinople when it was sacked and burnt. Nick believes the treasure could be found. Trubel thinks they may have buried it in seven churches. Nick and Monroe travel to Germany on counterfeit passports, using Frederick Calvert (Rosalee's late brother) and Felix Dietrich as aliases, to avoid detection from the Black Claw. They travel to the church locations marked on the map, but find little that is old enough to be a possible location, and local Wesen become suspicious of their questions. Nick and Monroe travel at night to a spot in the forest near the site of the German Peasants' War, where they believe an ancient church may have stood. They discover chisel marks on old stones and end up falling into an old

William Jackson was an English-American pottery manufacturer and politician from Saugus, Massachusetts.
Pottery manufacturing
Jackson arrived in Saugus (then part of Lynn) from Manchester in 1808 and bought a small farm and part of a meadow that would become known as "Jackson's Meadow". Jackson found a deposit of fine clay on his land. Jackson sought to use his clay to make earthenware crockery. He constructed a plant consisting of one large building and two smaller ones and procured the best equipment and workmen available. Production began in 1811, however, he soon found that the clay could only be used to make common redware, not the fine kind of ware he had hoped to make. The factory continued for four years, but became unprofitable and was abandoned.
Politics
In 1814, Jackson was a signer of a petition that requested that Lynn's Second Parish be set off as a separate town known as Westport. The plan was abandoned, however the following year the Second Parish separated from Lynn and became the Town of Saugus. Saugus' first Town Meeting was held on March 13, 1815 and Jackson was elected Saugus' first Town Moderator.
In 1827 and 1828, Jackson represented Saugus in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
Personal life
Jackson married Mary Stocker Stanford on January 10, 1809. Their son, Pickmore Jackson, also served as a state representative from Saugus.

Georgios Athanasiadis–Novas (February 9, 1893 – August 10, 1987) was a Greek poet, lawyer and politician who briefly served as Prime Minister in 1965.
Biography
Born in Nafpaktos, he obtained his law degree from the University of Athens. He was first elected to the Greek Parliament in 1926 representing his native prefecture of Aetolia-Acarnania, and was repeatedly elected to office until 1964.
A lawyer by trade, he served as Minister for the Interior in 1945, Minister for Education in 1950 and Minister for Industry in 1951.
In 1961, however, he was one of many conservatives who joined the Center Union (EK), in opposition to the corruption of right-wing governments at the time. In 1964, after EK came into power, he became Speaker of the Greek Parliament.
On July 15, 1965 he was appointed Prime Minister of Greece by king Constantine II, after the latter dismissed Georgios Papandreou, a move that is known as Apostasia of 1965. He was followed by many EK conservatives and with support from conservative National Radical Union MPs tried to form a government, but failed to get past a vote of confidence in parliament. He was replaced on August 20 of the same year.
In July 1974 he was one of the politicians who brokered the end of the Regime of the Colonels and the appointment of Constantine Karamanlis as Prime Minister.
Athanasiadis-Novas also wrote some poetry and prose under the pen name Georgios Athanas (Γεώργιος Αθάνας). Literary critics found very little in the way of value in his works, but he found some popularity among his detractors, who used them to ridicule his less-than-distinguished political career. The stanza:
Itan ta stithia sou
aspra san galata
kai mou 'leges:gargala taYour breasts were
White as milk
And you urged me
"Tickle them!"
gained him the comical nickname "Gargalatas", Tickler. Only after 40 years has it been proven that the fact that he wrote this stanza was an urban legend. It all started from an article of Costas Stamatiou at the newspap

MRD-VP-1/1 is a fossilized cranium of the species Australopithecus anamensis. The first piece of MRD, the upper jaw, was found by Ali Bereino, a local Afar worker, on February 10, 2016, at Miro Dora, Mille district of the Afar Region, in present-day Ethiopia.
This first cranium of A. anamensis was identified by Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Stephanie Melillo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and their team members of the Woranso-Mille project in 2019. Prior to this, A. anamensis was known mainly from jaws and teeth.
Sedimentologist Beverly Saylor and her team members at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio dated the nearby minerals in layers of volcanic rock and determined the age of MRD as being around 3.8 million years old.
Implications
According to the study, the MRD cranium and other fossils from the Afar, show that A. anamensis and A. afarensis co-existed for approximately 100,000 years.

Chionoecetes is a genus of crabs that live in the northern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Common names for crabs in this genus include "queen crab" (in Canada) and "spider crab". The generic name Chionoecetes means snow (, ) inhabitant (, ); means shepherd, and C. opilio is the primary species referred to as snow crab. Marketing strategies, however, employ snow crab for any species in the genus Chionoecetes. The name "snow crab" refers to their being commonly found in cold northern oceans.
General
Snow crab are caught as far north as the Arctic Ocean, from Newfoundland to Greenland and north of Norway in the Atlantic Ocean, and across the Pacific Ocean, including the Sea of Japan, the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, Norton Sound, and even as far south as California for Chionoecetes bairdi.
In 2019 the Norwegian Supreme Court ruled that the species is considered a sedentary species living on the seabed, and thus governed by the United Nations Law of the Sea.
Species
Seven extant species are currently recognised in the genus:
Chionoecetes angulatus Rathbun, 1924 – triangle tanner crab
Chionoecetes bairdi Rathbun, 1924 – tanner crab, bairdi, or inshore tanner crab
Chionoecetes elongatus Rathbun, 1924

"I Try" is a song co-written and performed by American musician Macy Gray. Issued as the second single from her debut album, On How Life Is (1999), the song was first released in Japan as a double A-side with "Do Something" on July 23, 1999. Later that year, on September 27, it received its first solo release in the United Kingdom. "I Try" is Gray's most successful single, peaking at number six in the United Kingdom, number five in the United States, number two in Canada, and number one in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.
At the 2001 Grammy Awards, "I Try" won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It remains Gray's biggest hit single in the US to date, and her only one to reach the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. The song was used in the TV sitcom Spin City, when Michael J. Fox's character, Michael Flaherty, was leaving his job and moving from NYC; the actor was also leaving the series after he had announced that he had Parkinson's disease. In 2010, the song was featured in an episode of The Office. It was also featured in the series 2 finale of Mrs. Brown's Boys during which it was sung by Brendan O'Carroll and Pat "Pepsi" Shields. In 2018, the song was featured in an episode of The Last Man on Earth.
Critical reception
Daily Record called the song "soulful", noting that Macy Gray "has one of the most distinctive singing voices around."
Music video
The music video for the song, directed by American filmmaker Mark Romanek (who had previously directed the video for Gray's "Do Something"), depicts Gray waking up in a hotel room, buying flowers, and traveling through New York City, traveled through by bus and train to meet a man in a park. At the end of the video, Gray is shown to still be in her hotel room. It is implied that she may have been dreaming the entire time and that none of the events in the video actually occurred.
At the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, the video won Best New Artist in a Vid

StormEngineC is a free and open-source 3D graphics library written in JavaScript that uses various HTML5 features such as WebGL, WebCL, and WebSockets. The library provides a way to load objects in the OBJ or Collada format and adds them to physical simulations.
Examples of Use
Features
The library provides several features to support the creation of physical simulations. These include:
Real-time visualization of 3D scenes through WebGL
Sun and spot lights
Shadow mapping
SSAO
Load of objects on .obj format or Collada (.DAE)
Physical system integrated through JigLib2
Keyframe animation
Option for enable edit menus
Multiplayer utilities using Node.js
Path Tracing render using the WebCL Nokia Extension
Render farm option for path tracing render using Node.js
Usage
The basic source code for initializing a small scene in StormEngineC:
<script src="js/StormEngineC/StormEngineC.class.js"></script>
<canvas id="example" width="1024" height="512"></canvas>
<script>
stormEngineC.createWebGL({'target': 'example',
'editMode': true});
var node = stormEngineC.createNode();
node.loadObj({'objUrl': 'resources/obj/cornellbox.obj'});
</script>
History
StormEngineC was developed to display 3D scenes in the web browser and to enable a physical system with gravity and collisions for objects.
It appeared in the first public specification of WebGL, written in Java and called StormEngineJ. It was later ported to JavaScript which benefitted other 3D visualization methods in a web browser. For example, JavaScript does not require extra plug-ins for viewing.
The first version of the library was published on Google Code in February 2011. At the moment, there has not been offered a stable version of this.
Version 1.2 introduced a rendering system based on path tracing and optionally can be used as render farm, as well as some facilities for starting up a game server using Node.js.

This is a list of cases reported in volume 98 of the United States Reports, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1878 and 1879.
Justices of the Supreme Court at the time of 98 U.S.
The Supreme Court is established by Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States, which says: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court . . .". The size of the Court is not specified; the Constitution leaves it to Congress to set the number of justices. Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 Congress originally fixed the number of justices at six (one chief justice and five associate justices). Since 1789 Congress has varied the size of the Court from six to seven, nine, ten, and back to nine justices (always including one chief justice).
When the cases in 98 U.S. were decided the Court comprised the following nine members:
Notable Case in 98 U.S.
Reynolds v. United States
In Reynolds v. United States, 98 U.S. 145 (1878), the Supreme Court held that religious duty was not a defense to a criminal indictment. Reynolds was the first Supreme Court decision to address the First Amendment's protection of Freedom of religion, impartial juries, and the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment.
Citation style
Under the Judiciary Act of 1789 the federal court structure at the time comprised District Courts, which had general trial jurisdiction; Circuit Courts, which had mixed trial and appellate (from the US District Courts) jurisdiction; and the United States Supreme Court, which had appellate jurisdiction over the federal District and Circuit courts—and for certain issues over state courts. The Supreme Court also had limited original jurisdiction (i.e., in which cases could be filed directly with the Supreme Court without first having been heard by a lower federal or state court). There were one or more federal District Courts and/or Circuit Courts in each state, territory, or other geographical region.

Teran grape is a variety of red grape from Istria, Croatia. It is mostly found in western part of Istria. It is a late-ripening variety and grows in large clusters with densely packed berries. Berries have highly resistant skin and deep ruby red color. The vine requires a lot of sun but less water. It is sensitive, both to extremely strong sun (burning hazard) and to excessive humidity (botrytis). When the grapes are fully ripe and all other needed conditions are met, a very good quality red wine can be made from them. Its alcohol content is usually between 11 and 14%.
History
Teran has been grown in the Istrian peninsula for centuries. According to some sources, it has been part of Istria's identity for more than 650 years. At the end of the 19th century it was planted approximately on 90% of all vineyards in Istria and hence was the most widespread grape variety in Istria. Today it still remains the most common red grape variety in the region covering around 400 hectares. It is protected by the delegated act on wine labels of the European Commission in 2017.
Wine
Teran wine is traditionally produced from teran grapes. It is considered as one of the highest quality red wines on the market, having rich and robust character. The wine is known for its persistency and slightly higher acidity than other similar wines and is best served at about 18 degrees Celsius.
The quality of the wine can depend on the location as well as on the conditions in the vineyard. Its colour is ruby-red, almost purple, and it has high tannins and a typical, fruity aroma which is easy to recognize. Different yeast type can influence the quality of teran wine as well. Teran wine differs from Kraški teran wine (), which is produced from Refošk grape variety, grown in Istrian hinterland.

Richard John Andrews (8 December 1876 – 16 January 1923) was a British Army officer. After a brief career as a poulterer he enlisted in the 128th Company (Westminster Dragoons) of the Imperial Yeomanry for service in the Second Boer War (1899–1902), during which he was appointed lance sergeant. Andrews afterwards emigrated to Chile where he worked as a civil engineer for the Antofagasta and Bolivia Railway and claimed to have served as a captain in the Chilean Army. Andrews returned to Britain in 1915 and volunteered to join the British Army for service in the First World War. He enlisted in the 14th (London Scottish) Battalion of the London Regiment and reached the rank of sergeant. Andrews reverted to private upon transferring to the 1st (City of London) Battalion but in July 1915 had reached the rank of corporal by 19 March 1916 when he was selected for a commission and became a second lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion, Devonshire Regiment.
Andrews received the Military Cross in August 1916 and later that year was selected as one of the first men to attend the Senior Officers' School. After completing the course he was transferred to the 18th battalion of the Welsh Regiment. Andrews was commended by his brigade commander, Frank Percy Crozier for leading his battalion to capture Welsh Ridge, near Cambrai, on 24 April. Andrews was appointed to the Distinguished Service Order for actions two weeks later at La Vacquerie when he thwarted a German attack in the aftermath of a mine detonation. He was wounded in action in November 1917 at Bourlon Wood. Andrews returned to the frontline in the later stage of the war and led the 13th Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment in the Hundred Days Offensive.
Andrews appeared to suffer a breakdown in the post-war peace and was posted home to recover. He volunteered for service in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War against the Bolsheviks. He served as chief liaison officer with a White column in North Rus

Artuk Bey is a fictional character in the Turkish TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul where he is portrayed as the main protagonist, Ertuğrul Bey's right-hand man. The character is portrayed by Ayberk Pekcan and is based on the Seljuk commander Artuk Bey.
Background
Artuk Bey was born in an urban area, where he studied medicine, before moving to the Dodurga tribe out of a desire to help the poorer nomads of Anatolia. He is shown to have not married for years. He is loyal to his tribe's Bey, Korkut, is the tribe's doctor and does anything for it along with being a well-respected Bey there.
Personality
Artuk Bey is extremely loyal to whoever is his tribe's Bey. Along with being well-respected due to his profession, he is trustworthy with all things business-related which leads to him being not only trusted with the Public Market, but Karacahisar and even his tribe.
The TRT 1 website states about his character; "When Ertuğrul Bey is not in the tribe, he continues to be loyal to him, leads his tribe and continues to serve as a physician in it too. He also helps him with the business of the market." In the fifth season, he was blinded due to Emir Bahattin's men who were searching for a chest, however, he could still treat people and retained the ability to effectively use medicines.
Storyline
Season 2–3
Artuk Bey makes his first appearance in the second season and is shown as a doctor and physician of the Dodurga tribe. After the Kayıs are forced into the Dodurgas after a Mongol invasion, Artuk is shown to admire Ertuğrul and as he notices his achievements and his struggle, he takes him to the Aksakals, an organisation seeking justice, which Ertuğrul becomes a member of. Artuk Bey also attempts to stop the devious Aytolun from giving energy syrup to the Dodurga Bey and her wife, Korkut, which was harmful for him and eventually leads to his death. Following the arrival of Ertokuş and Ertokuş' death, who Artuk is surprisingly shown to worry for, and Aytolun's death after she

Umpqua National Forest, in southern Oregon's Cascade Range, covers an area of in Douglas, Lane, and Jackson counties, and borders Crater Lake National Park. The four ranger districts for the forest are the Cottage Grove, Diamond Lake, North Umpqua, and Tiller ranger districts. The forest is managed by the United States Forest Service, headquartered in Roseburg.
Geography
Stands of western hemlock, true fir, Douglas-fir and cedar transition to lower-elevation forests of mixed conifers and hardwoods. Timbered valleys of old-growth ponderosa and groves of oak separate mountains like the Mount Thielsen and the Mount Bailey. Notable geologic features include volcanic basalt and andesite monolithic spires with descriptive names like Eagle Rock, Rattlesnake Rock, and Old Man.
History
Ancestors of the Umpqua, Southern Molala, Yoncalla, and Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians lived here before Mount Mazama erupted forming Crater Lake nearly 7,000 years ago. The Indians were moved to reservations in 1856. As Europeans bought reservation lands, the tribes further fragmented to become farmers and ranchers in the Umpqua Valley. Two translations of the word "umpqua" are "thundering waters" and "across the waters".
The Umpqua National Forest was created by the United States Congress on July 2, 1907. The Forest Service staff soon began building trails, constructing bridges, fighting fires, monitoring grazing, and erecting lookouts. Logging and mining began in 1925. The Civilian Conservation Corps was active in the Umpqua National Forest by building roads, bridges and recreation facilities in the 1930s.
Points of interest
The Umpqua National Forest is home to more than 250 wildlife species. Large mammals such as elk, deer, black bear, and cougar, as well as the smaller residents, squirrels, fox, raccoons, and bats are supported by the diverse forest habitats. Raptors such as owls, eagles, osprey, and even peregrine falcons can occasionally be seen in the for

Augustino de Cazalla (1510-1559), or Dr. Agustín Cazalla, was a Spanish clergyman, with humanist and Erasmist tendencies, who was prosecuted for founding a Protestant sect in Valladolid.
The son of a royal accountant, Pedro de Cazalla, and Leonor de Vibero (or Vivero) - both were of 'converso' families - the nephew of Bishop Juan de Cazalla and the brother of María de Cazalla (of the group of illuminati in Guadalajara in 1525), he studied at the University of Valladolid with Bartolomé Carranza (who was also tried by the Spanish Inquisition) and at the University of Alcalá de Henares, where his uncle Juan was the former chaplain to Cardinal Cisneros and was also a renowned humanist and Erasmist. His classmate in Alcalá, Diego Laínez, was a founding member of the Society of Jesus.
Augustino was a canon in the cathedral of Salamanca and became chaplain to the Emperor Charles V, accompanying him throughout Europe. On his return to Valladolid in 1552, he joined a conventicle considered heretical. Among this group of religious elites was the corregidor of Toro, Carlos de Seso with whom he had been in contact Juan de Valdés in Italy. Despite the strict rules and secrecy practiced within the circle they were discovered.
Trial and conviction
Cazalla was subjected to a carefully managed trial by the Inquisitor General, Fernando de Valdés, who communicated his findings to King Philip II. Upon a confession of heresy, the penalty was burning at the stake at a religious ceremonial auto-da-fé held in Valladolid on 21 May 1559. Those who recanted, were granted the mercy of strangulation before burning. His siblings Francisco de Buiero, Beatriz and Pedro were also prosecuted and sentenced to the stake. Two more, Costanza de Buiero and Juan Buiero, were condemned to wear the Sanbenito and perpetual imprisonment (in all, they were ten brothers). The corpse of his mother Doña Leonora de Buiero was disinterred and thrown into the fire and as the "heretical" Lutheran conventicles ha

Freightliners City Farm is an urban farm located in Lower Holloway in the London Borough of Islington. It is the only urban farm in the borough.
The City Farm movement provides opportunities for young people in an urban environment to see and interact with creatures they would not otherwise see. Freightliners is a community-organised charity, receiving funding both from the council and donations.
The Freightliners City Farm was founded on a site in York Way, NW1 between King's Cross and Camden Town. The site was a goods yard formerly owned by Freightliners, the freight distribution branch of British Rail. The fourteen acre site had been acquired by Camden Council for eventual use for council housing. Building was not due to begin for several years and so in 1972 various community groups were given premises on the site. The site continued to be known to local users as 'Freightliners'. (The Maiden Lane Estate was eventually built on the site.)
Some workers were employed at the youth club, Freightliners Free School and pensioners club on the site. One of these workers, Sandy, had grown up on her family's farm in Wales and it was she who created the Freightliners Farm on the site. The Farm quickly proved popular with local children and expanded.
In 1978 the Freightliners site was ready to be developed for council housing and the Farm found a new permanent home at its present location in the neighbouring borough of Islington where purpose-built farm buildings were erected in 1988. The site is half a hectare.
There is an ornamental garden, vegetable, herb and fruit gardens on the site. There is also an animal village, where children can look at rabbits, and a farm shop and café.

The Watts Mill Bridge is a pin-connected Pratt pony truss bridge located over the Little Beaver Creek in Cannelton, Pennsylvania, United States.
The bridge was constructed in 1878 by the West Penn Bridge Company, based in nearby Beaver Falls PA. The bridge is located in a valley approximately a 1/8 mile west of the North Country National Scenic Trail. The bridge and adjacent Mill remains were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. When the bridge was given this designation by the NRHP, it was simply known as the Bridge in South Beaver Township. It is the only bridge in Beaver County on the National Register for itself, although the Bridgewater-Rochester Bridge over the Beaver River is part of the Bridgewater Historic District in Bridgewater to the south.
In 2004, the bridge, which was becoming rusty and falling into disrepair and considered for demolition by PennDOT, was placed on the Top Ten Best Historic Preservation Opportunities in the Pittsburgh Area by the Young Preservationists Association of Pittsburgh.
The bridge was removed in 2019 in cooperation with a partnership with Workin' Bridges to rehabilitate the bridge for pedestrian only usage and be able to have continued access to historical and recreational opportunities in the immediate area.
The refurbished pedestrian bridge was returned in March, 2023.

Children's Hospital is a British television fly-on-the-wall documentary series based at the Sheffield Children's Hospital, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool. It was broadcast on BBC One between 19 October 1993 and 26 February 2003.
Production
According to scholar Annette Hill, the series had "all the hallmarks of a docu-soap", saying its "personal, melodramatic stories appeal to viewers, with more than 8 million tuning into the first series, despite widespread criticism from the press." Peter Lee-Wright observes that the series marked a transition in fly-on-the-wall documentaries by shifting the emphasis from the practical considerations onto the "human dramas being played out ... [capturing] the pain of the children ... and their parents' rollercoaster rides."
Music
The theme music was composed by Debbie Wiseman. The music was released as a CD single in 1997, containing full orchestral and piano versions of the theme, alongside the shorter versions used for the opening and closing sequences. The orchestral version was also released on the compilation album World of Sound. A new solo piano performance, titled "Ray of Sunshine", of the theme was included on the 2011 album Wiseman: Piano Stories.

The Marconi Company was a British telecommunications and engineering company that did business under that name from 1963 to 1987. Its roots were in the Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company founded by Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi in 1897, which underwent several changes in name after mergers and acquisitions. The company was a pioneer of wireless long distance communication and mass media broadcasting, eventually becoming one of the UK's most successful manufacturing companies. In 1999, its defence equipment manufacturing division, Marconi Electronic Systems, merged with British Aerospace (BAe) to form BAE Systems. In 2006, financial difficulties led to the collapse of the remaining company, with the bulk of the business acquired by the Swedish telecommunications company, Ericsson.

Far High House Meadows is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Upper Weardale in west County Durham, England. It consists of three fields, located just south of Burnhope Reservoir, some 3 km west of the village of Ireshopeburn. Two of the fields are maintained as northern hay meadows by traditional farming methods, without re-seeding or the application of artificial fertilisers; the third is grazed as pasture.
The hay fields are dominated by common bent, Agrostis capillaris, and sweet vernal-grass, Anthoxanthum odoratum, and support a diversity of forbs, among which globe-flower, Trollius europaeus, and marsh-marigold, Caltha palustris, are well represented, with early-purple orchid, Orchis mascula, among the species present in the wetter areas.
The pasture is a mix of acidic upland grassland, dry grassland and flushes, the last dominated by rushes and sedges.

William Williams Mather (24 May 1804 – 26 February 1859) was an American geologist.
Biography
He was a lineal descendant of Richard Mather's son Timothy. He was admitted to the U.S. Military Academy in 1823. In 1826 and 1827 he led his class in the newly established department of chemistry and mineralogy, and to him were submitted the proof sheets of Webster's A Manual of Chemistry, then in process of publication. He also invented an apparatus for drawing water from the lowest depths of the Hudson River, and noting its temperature.
After his graduation in 1828, he remained at West Point as acting assistant instructor of artillery during the annual encampment, and was then stationed at the school of practice at Jefferson barracks until April 1829. From June 1829, he was for six years the acting assistant professor of chemistry, mineralogy, and geology at West Point. He was then ordered on topographical duty as assistant geologist to George William Featherstonhaugh, to examine the country from Green Bay to the Coteau des Prairies. This survey was the basis of a report and a topographical map of St. Peter's River valley. He then joined his regiment at Fort Gibson, and marched into the Choctaw country.
While still in the army, and acting as an instructor at West Point, he published several papers on chemistry and geology in the American Journal of Science and Arts. He also prepared a small work on geology for the use of schools (Washington, 1833), and a treatise on "Diluvion," for the use of the cadets. With the consent of the secretary of war he acted, in 1833, as professor of chemistry, geology, and mineralogy in Wesleyan University at Middletown, Connecticut, and in 1834 that institution gave him the degree of A.M. In 1836 he resigned from the army, and thereafter devoted himself exclusively to science.
In 1836 he was appointed geologist of the first district, or 21 counties, of New York State. This work required seven years, and his final report was a quarto of

Efrain Guigui (September 19, 1925 – June 18, 2007) was a US-based Panamanian born clarinetist and conductor.
Early life
Guigui was born on September 19, 1925, in Panama. He grew up in Argentina, where he attended the Student Music Conservatory in Buenos Aires. He graduated from Boston University.
Career
At the age of 15, Guigui was the youngest clarinetist to ever play first chair in the Buenos Aires Symphony Orchestra, at the iconic Colon Theater, where he played under the tutelage of such great conductors as Herbert Von Karajan, Otto Klemperer and Arturo Toscanini. It was there that he began developing his conducting skills and becoming highly regarded for his unique ability to interpret contemporary music true to its intent. Guigui's perfect pitch and mesmerizing solfege quickly established him as the premier conductor for contemporary music.
In the 1950s Guigui met and worked with Composer Aaron Copland, who later invited Guigui to the United States to conduct in Tanglewood, where Guigui remained studying at Boston University graduating with high honors. Guigui and his wife Elena moved to New York City in 1960 where Guigui played clarinet in the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Leonard Bernstein. Guigui made his American debut as conductor Maestro Guigui at Town Hall and went on to tour with the American Ballet Theatre.
Guigui was then invited by Pablo Casals to San Juan, Puerto Rico to play clarinet with the Casals Festival and conduct the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra. Guigui and his family (his son Martin, daughter Ana) all moved to and lived in Puerto Rico, where Guigui was also a full-time professor at the Conservatory of Music. Guigui went on to work alongside the likes of Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern, Yehudi Menuhin, Daniel Barenboim, Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Alexander Schneider.
Maestro Guigui was the conductor of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra from 1974 to 1989. He also conducted orchestras as a guest in South America. A

The Tréveneuc Law was a law passed in the early days of the French Third Republic which established a legal framework by which the country could invoke a state of emergency in order to oppose a power grab by a rogue chief executive who illegitimately dissolved the National Assembly.
The law was passed on 15 February 1872 by the National Assembly of France during the provisional period of the Third Republic.
There were several occasions where serious discussion or attempts to invoke the Tréveneuc law arose, in particular several times during World War II, either by the Vichy regime, or by those opposing it.
In 150 years, the law has never been repealed and is still in force, and since 2000 has been mentioned in political discourse in France under a number of different circumstances.
Name and date
The Tréveneuc law is entitled, "the law of 15 February 1872 relating to the possible role of departmental councils in exceptional circumstances".
It is usually dated 15 February 1872 in France, the day of its adoption. But it is also known as the law of 22 February 1872 in France, the day of its promulgation.
It is also known as the Tréveneuc Constitution because it is one of the constitutional laws adopted by the National Assembly elected on 8 February 1871 in France.
Development
On 25 July 1871, Henri, Viscount of Tréveneuc and representative of Côtes-du-Nord in the National Assembly, presented a bill, co-authored by Charles de Janzé and Émile Depasse. On August 11, 1781, its examination in committee began. On February 5, 1872, the discussion began. On February 15, 1872, the National Assembly adopted it by 480 votes to 75. On February 22, 1872, Adolphe Thiers, President of the Republic, promulgated it. The following day, it was published in the Official Journal; then, on March 30, 1872, in the Bulletin des lois.
Description
Under the exceptional circumstances envisioned by the law, the power normally held by the national legislature is partially devolved to

George Henry Rowdon, born at Midsomer Norton, Somerset on 6 October 1914, and died in Bath in February 1987, played in one first-class cricket match for Somerset in the 1936 season.
An amateur right-handed middle-order batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler, Rowdon was picked for the Somerset match against Essex at Colchester. He made 9 and 2 as Somerset were beaten by an innings, the match finishing soon after lunch on the second day. He did not bowl in the match.
Rowdon was recorded at his birth and in the Wisden report of his single first-class appearance as "Rowden", but according to a website covering the Rowden family, "George Henry Rowdon" was born in Midsomer Norton in 1914, died in 1987, and this has subsequently been adopted as the more correct version of his name by CricketArchive.

Annual marches, protests or gatherings take place around the world for transgender issues, often taking place during the time of local Pride parades for LGBT people. These events are frequently organized by trans communities to build community, address human rights struggles, and create visibility.
ExisTransInter march Paris
Created in 1997 is the Existrans march in Paris. Since 2007 the march also includes intersex demands. The current name is "ExisTransInter, la marche des personnes trans et intersexes et de celles qui les soutiennent" ("ExisTransInter, the march of the trans and intersex persons and those who support them").
San Francisco Trans March
The San Francisco Trans March is an annual gathering and protest march in San Francisco, California, that takes place on the Friday night of Pride weekend, the last weekend of June. It is a trans and gender non-conforming and inclusive event in the same spirit of the original gay pride parades and dyke marches. It is one of the few large annual transgender events in the world and has likely been the largest transgender event since its inception in June 2004. The purpose of the event is to increase visibility, activism and acceptance of all gender-variant people.

The Toronto Trans March was founded in 2009 by Karah Mathiason and typically takes place on the Friday of Toronto Pride Week. The trans community in Toronto had seen resistance to the idea of a trans march for years, and in 2009 Karah Mathiason decided to create the march for herself. In 2009, Toronto Pride attempted to confine the newly formed Trans March to the sidewalks of Church Street up to Wellesley Street. Instead, participants took to the streets and marched past the barriers on Wellesley Street. Since 2009, Toronto Pride has consistently stood in the way of the Trans March, often trying to confine it to minuscule portion of Church Street while the Toronto Dyke March and Toronto Pride Parade march down Yonge Street.

The Cardinal of Portugal's Altarpiece (), or the Altarpiece for the Cardinal of Portugal's Chapel, is a painting of in tempera and oil on panel by one or both of the brothers Antonio and Piero del Pollaiuolo. It was painted for the altar in the Cardinal of Portugal's Chapel, a funerary chapel in the church of San Miniato al Monte in Florence, built for the prince and cardinal James of Portugal, who died in exile in Florence in 1459 at the age of 25.
The painting is now in the Uffizi in Florence, with a copy in place in the chapel. Aspects of the painting reflect and connect with the setting it was made for, an elaborate newly-built funerary chapel, which in the Renaissance Republic of Florence aspired to revive the imperial style of many centuries before, drawing on the Late Antique monuments of Ravenna.
Description
The painting shows Saints Vincent, James the Great and Eustace, standing on a terrace high above a landscape background, of which little can be seen. The parts visible, mostly around Saint Eustace's legs, have been described as "minutely observed ... small vignettes of the River Arno valley", like other early Italian landscapes drawing on precedents from Early Netherlandish painting.
Saint Vincent, shown in his deacon's vestments, was patron saint of the archdiocese of Lisbon, of which James had been appointed "administrator in perpetuity" by the pope in 1453, being too young to be made the Archbishop of Lisbon. Sant'Eustachio in Rome was James's titular church as cardinal, explaining Saint Eustace's presence, and Saint James was his name-saint. James looks to the viewer's right, towards the cardinal's tomb in the chapel. As well as these connections to the cardinal, they are all martyrs from the Early Christian period.
Their clothes are all rich, and Saint James's felt hat with a jewelled hatband (at his feet) "fashionable". There is a "precocious sensitivity in the representation of fabric textures—the plush velvets of St Vincent's robe and

Code page 1106 (CCSID 1106), also known as CP1106 or S7DEC, is an IBM code page number assigned to the Swedish variant of DEC's National Replacement Character Set (NRCS). The 7-bit character set was introduced for DEC's computer terminal systems, starting with the VT200 series in 1983, but is also used by IBM for their DEC emulation. Similar but not identical to the series of ISO 646 character sets, the character set is a close derivation from ASCII with only ten code points differing.

Explorer 28, also called IMP-C, IMP-3 and Interplanetary Monitoring Platform-3, was a NASA satellite launched on 29 May 1965 to study space physics, and was the third spacecraft launched in the Interplanetary Monitoring Platform program. It was powered by chemical batteries and solar panels. There were 7 experiments on board, all devoted to particle studies. Performance was normal until late April 1967, when intermittent problems began. It stayed in contact until 12 May 1967, when contact was lost. The orbit decayed until it re-entered the atmosphere on 4 July 1968. The spacecraft design was similar to its predecessors Explorer 18 (IMP-A), launched in November 1963, and Explorer 21 (IMP-B), launched in October 1964, though this satellite was a few kilograms lighter. The successor Explorer 33 (IMP-D) began the use of a new design.
Mission
Explorer 28 (IMP-3) was a solar-cell and chemical-battery powered spacecraft instrumented for interplanetary and distant magnetospheric studies of energetic particles, cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and plasmas. Initial spacecraft parameters included a local time of apogee of 20:20 hours, a spin rate of 23.7 rpm, and a spin direction of 64.9° right ascension and -10.9° declination. Each normal telemetry sequence was 81.9-seconds in duration and consisted of 795 data bits. After every third normal telemetry sequence there was an 81.9-seconds interval of rubidium vapor magnetometer analog data transmission.
Experiments
Cosmic-Ray Range versus Energy Loss
A charged-particle, solid-state telescope was used to measure range and energy loss of galactic and solar cosmic rays. The experiment was designed to study particle energies (energy per nucleon intervals approximately proportional to Z squared /A; for protons 2.6 to 190 MeV, 13.3 to 26 MeV, 26 to 94 MeV, and 94 to 190 MeV) and charge spectra (Z<=6). The detector was oriented normal to the spacecraft spin axis. The detector accumulators for each energy interval were telemetered si

Zeger III of Ghent (called The Good) was the lord of Heusden, of Bornhem, and of Saint-Jean Steen, and the Châtelain of Ghent. He was the second son of Zeger II, Lord of Ghent and Petronella of Coutrai. His older brother, Arnold, died before 1190, leaving him the heir to the estate of his parents. He took his title of lord of Ghent, Bornhem, and Saint-Jean Steen around 1199. He married Beatrix of Heusden, and through her became Lord of Heusden, a title which was held by his son and progeny.
Beatrix was the daughter of Hughes of Heusden, son of Anselm III, Lord of Heusden (not to be confused with his cousin, Hughes of Heusden, son of Anselm's brother Eustace, Lord of Choques).
Administration of Flanders
Philip I of Namur, margrave of Namur and Regent of Flanders with his brother, Baldwin I of Constantinople, fought in the fourth crusade and won the crown of Constantinople. While they were abroad, along with John of Nesle, Zeger was entrusted to the administration of Flanders, being noted in the record in this role in dealings in 1206 and 1210.
Marriage of Ferdinand, prince of Portugal and Jeanne of Constantinople
In 1211, Zeger attended the marriage of Ferdinand of Portugal with Joan of Constantinople, daughter of Baldwin I of Constantinople. On returning to Flanders with his army, the couple was accompanied by Philip I of Namur, Zeger, and John of Nesle, châtelain of Bruges. Joan's first cousin, Louis (the future Louis VIII of France) - eldest son of Philip Augustus and Joan's aunt, Isabella of Flanders - held the couple prisoner while he seized the towns of Aire and Saint-Omer. Upon release, Ferdinand began an attempt to regain these towns.
Leaving his wife, who was ill, in Douai, the group went on to the towns of Lille, Coutrai, Ypres, and Bruges. The people of Ghent saw this group's arrival as an attempt to increase the power of France over them, and led by Rasse of Gavre and Arnold of Audenarde, political enemies of Zeger, chased the group away from Ghen

Ranga P. Dias is a researcher and academic who specializes in condensed matter physics. He is an assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering and Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester and a scientist at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. In March 2023, his group claimed to have achieved room-temperature superconductivity at near ambient pressures using a material called nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride. If true, this would be a significant achievement and advancement in superconductor technology. However, he has been accused of scientific misconduct, including plagiarism and data fabrication, in this and earlier papers in this field. Dias and his coauthors have denied these charges. A 2020 University of Rochester investigation found no evidence of scientific misconduct in his research. However, a later independent investigation performed by the American Physical Society did. His startup, Unearthly Materials, is related to his research work and also subject to controversy due to misleading claims he made about his funding and his investors.
As of 2023, Dias has had two research publications retracted, and three others have received expressions of concern from the publishers.
Early life and education
Ranga P. Dias was born into a middle-class family in Kottawa, Sri Lanka. He is the eldest of three children, and has a younger brother and sister. He completed elementary school at the St. Joseph's Boys' College, Nugegoda, middle school at the President's College, Maharagama, and high school studies at the Royal College, Colombo.
He received his B.S. in physics from the University of Colombo in 2006. In 2013, he obtained his Ph.D. in physics from Washington State University, where he studied under Professor Choong-shik Yoo. After his Ph.D., he was hired by Professor Isaac Silvera at the Department of Physics, Harvard University, to research metallic hydrogen.
Career
In 2017, Dias became an assistant professor in both the Department of Mechanical Eng

Economy of Ankara covers the issues related to the economy of the city of Ankara, Turkey. Ankara has an historic old town, and although it is not exactly a tourist city, is usually a stop for travelers who go to Cappadocia. The city enjoys an excellent cultural life too, and has several museums. The Anıtkabir is also in Ankara. It is the mausoleum of Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey.
Ankara is the capital city of Turkey and the second largest city in the country after Istanbul. It is located at the heart of both Turkey and Central Anatolia. The population is around 4.5 million.
Ankara is the administrative center of Turkey and a huge university town, so it has a large population of government workers and university students. As the national capital, Ankara is home to a large population of foreign diplomats and embassy staff, so it offers goods and services that might be more difficult to find in other Turkish cities. Ankara is a sprawling, modern city which can appear as little more than a dull, concrete jungle at first glance. As a result, many tourists tend to use it merely as a transit point for getting to places like Konya or Cappodocia. However Ankara does have a lot to offer for those prepared to look a bit deeper. Ankara has a symbolic significance for the secular Turks. It is the place where a new era for the Turkish people started. It is a symbol for independence, development and Western values.

Saint Irene of Lecce, also called Erina, is a pre-congregation saint, said to have lived sometime during the 3rd century. She is celebrated mostly in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Legend
Little is known of Irene's early life, and her personage is surrounded by legend. Confusion is driven further by the existence of several similarly named saints around the same time, including Irene of Rome and Irene of Thessalonica.
Sources say she was born Penelope, in Lecce, Italy to a man named Licinius. Some claim her father was the Roman Emperor Licinius, but his biographers mention only a son. Her pagan father, fearful of her beauty, locked her away in a tower at the age of six. She found God in her imprisonment, and He taught her the Christian doctrine. Baptized by Saint Timothy, she renounced her birth name, took the name Irene, and destroyed the idols that her father gave her to worship.
Irene's father, angered by her actions, ordered for her to be tied to a horse and dragged to death. She survived the dragging and the horse turned on her father and bit him. His injury festered, leading to his death, but Irene prayed over his body and brought him back to life. The end of her legend appears to differ, depending on who is telling the story.
In one rendition, Irene converts her father to Christianity and the two become evangelists. They convert thousands of pagans, until a Governor named "Ampelio" captures and imprisons the pair. Ampelio attempts to torture Irene until she renounces her faith, and when she refuses, he has her beheaded.
Another version has her sentenced to death by Shapur I in the Sasanian Empire, around the time of the Constantinian dynasty.
Worship
Though Irene's life story remains a mystery, it's known that at least two churches bore her name in 5th-century Constantinople.
The Chiesa di Sant'Irene, or Church of Saint Irene, in Lecce was built between 1591 and 1639 and dedicated to the patron saint of the city by the Th

Jean Mahoney Harris (May 22, 1922 – November 25, 2008) was an American schoolteacher and environmentalist. She was a member of the Oxnard School Board for nine years, as well as the Vice President of the Oxnard Advisory Group to the City Council. Harris is best known for being the champion of Ormond Beach Wetlands and for fighting to get the City of Oxnard to require the developers to expand on the initial state purchase to create Oxnard Beach Park.
Life and career
Harris was born Jean Mahoney in Mesquite, Texas. Harris and her family moved to California after her father, who was a sports columnist for a newspaper in Texas, was hired as a public relations manager for the Del Mar racetrack, in Del Mar, California. Harris met her husband Ed Harris, an engineer, while in high school and they married when Harris was 18 years old. After marrying, Jean and Ed had three children; Timm, Ellen, and Brian. Harris moved from the San Fernando Valley to Oxnard in the early 1970s. She had a master's degree in Education and was a career schoolteacher and later a school board member for the Oxnard Board of Education for nine years.
Harris' mentor Roma Armbrust was also her partner in her conservation efforts. In 1983, they formed the Ormond Beach Observers, which unified the voice of a number of diverse organizations interested in protecting these wetlands. They were able to help Oxnard Beach become a State beach, and to conserve the Ormond Beach Wetlands. Harris was quoted in the Vista newspaper in 1980 for wanting to keep Ventura County, especially its coastlines, from becoming another "smoggy, crowded San Fernando Valley". Harris began pushing for the preservation of the Ormond Beach Wetlands in 1979 and she continued to champion for this landscape for more than 30 years. Her work began by organizing hundreds of tours of this rare landscape; Jean stated that she "knew if we took people for a walk on Ormond Beach, and they saw the birds flying, it would sell them on the impo

"Survival" is the thirteenth episode aired of the first series of UFO - a 1970 British television science fiction series about an alien invasion of Earth. The screenplay was written Tony Barwick and the director was Alan Perry. The episode was filmed between 30 June and 10 July 1970 and aired on the ATV Midlands on 30 December 1970. Though shown as the thirteenth episode, it was actually the fourth to have been filmed.
The series was created by Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson with Reg Hill, and produced by the Andersons and Lew Grade's Century 21 Productions for Grade's ITC Entertainment company.
Story
Under the cover of a meteor shower, a UFO manages to evade SHADO's tracking and land on the Moon. The alien pilot gets close enough to Moonbase to shoot out a window of the Leisure Sphere -the resulting explosive decompression kills an astronaut inside and almost kills Paul Foster.
Straker orders a search of the vicinity around Moonbase using Moon mobiles and they locate the UFO in a crater. The UFO shoots at the Moon mobiles whereupon the interceptors are called in. They shoot the UFO down as it tries to take off and it crashes into Foster's Moon mobile. Thrown clear, Foster is injured in the explosion and his spacesuit's radio transmitter is broken. SHADO believes that he has been killed.
Foster is not alone, however, as the alien has also survived. The two adversaries realize that to survive they need to co-operate on the walk back to Moonbase. They get close to their destination but a search team locates Foster. Believing the alien to be a threat and with Foster unable to contact the search team due to his broken radio, they shoot and kill the alien.

Lance Corporal Harold Sandford Mugford VC (31 August 1894 – 16 June 1958) was a British Army soldier and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
He was 22 years old, and a Lance-Corporal in the 8th Cavalry Machine Gun Squadron MGC, 8th Cavalry Brigade, 3rd Cavalry Division, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 11 April 1917 at Monchy-le-Preux, France, under intense fire, Lance-Corporal Mugford got his machine-gun into a forward, very exposed position from which he dealt very effectively with the enemy. Almost immediately his No. 2 was killed and he was severely wounded. He was ordered to go to a new position and then have his wounds dressed but this he refused to do, staying to inflict severe damage on the enemy with his gun. Soon afterwards a shell broke both his legs, but he still remained with his gun and when he was at last removed to the dressing station he was again wounded.
His VC is displayed at the Imperial War Museum (London, England) and there is a memorial to him in Chelmsford Cathedral.

Elizabeth Stride (August 31, 1877 – March 1919), known professionally as Lizzie Arlington, was an American baseball player. She was the first woman to play for a professional men's baseball team. She made history throughout the sport of baseball for doing what women thought they couldn't at the time.
Early life
Arlington was the youngest of six children born to English emigrants Henry and Mary Stride. She grew up in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania, where she played baseball with her father and brothers.
On June 20, 1891, at age 13, Arlington took the field as the pitcher for the Mahanoy City baseball team against the visiting Cincinnati Reds (a professional women's team barnstorming through the area). Reds' manager Mark Lally, impressed with her play, immediately recruited and signed her to play for his team. Arlington played three seasons with the Reds, including two where she shared pitching duties with Maud Nelson.
Arlington played for the Young Ladies Baseball Club of New York in 1894 and the other Young Ladies Baseball Club of New York (also known as the New York Stars) in 1895.
Minor League Baseball (1898)
In 1898, sporting and theatrical promoter William J. Connor engaged Arlington for $100.00 a week and negotiated with Atlantic League president Edward G. Barrow for her to sign a minor league contract. She showed up later that year while pitching for the reserve team of the Philadelphia Nationals, and continued to pitch and play infield against several professional clubs in exhibition games around the country throughout the summer.
On July 5, 1898, Arlington became the first woman to play for a professional men's baseball team when she pitched the ninth inning for the Reading Coal Heavers against the Allentown Peanuts. Reading was leading 5–0 heading into the final inning when Arlington entered the game. Though she allowed two hits and walked a batter to load the bases, Arlington succeeded in retiring the next three batters to preserve the victory, as t

However, meeting with a group of former ex-Muslims, he acknowledged that the country's Christian denominations were culturally disconnected from the country's majority population. Chowdhury then begin working on establishing a church that adopts Bengali culture as tool of evangelization in the country.
On September 2, 1999, she was formed in Jamat Isa-e Bangladesh. Later, a denomination adopted the name "Isa-e Church Bangladesh".
The denomination soon spread across the country. As of 2015, it had 6,000 members in 127 local churches.
The Isa-e Theological Institute was founded by the denomination, which serves to prepare new pastors and leaders.
Doctrine
The appellation affirms the Five Solae, practices pedobaptism, and adheres to Reformed Tradition.
Inter-ecclesiastical Relations
The church is a member of the World Reformed Fellowship and has relations with the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated).

Historical languages (also known as historic languages) are languages that were spoken in a historical period, but that are distinct from their modern form; that is, they are forms of languages historically attested to from the past which have evolved into more modern forms. Thus, historical languages contrast with dead languages (languages which have become extinct, or undergone language death). Also, historical languages contrast with reconstructed languages (that is, the proto-languages) of theoretical linguistics. One of the approaches to defining and using the concept of historical languages is implemented in the ISO 639 standards.
ISO 639
The International Organization for Standardization (sometimes by means of a registration authority) maintains and publishes standards for languages, among other things: the ISO 639-3 standards for languages include type H, for historical languages, part of a five-way typology to classify languages. Besides the historic languages, there are also ISO 639-3 classifications for living languages (languages with currently living native speakers), extinct languages (for languages whose last native speaker died within the last few centuries), ancient languages (whose last attested native speaker died more than a millennium ago), and constructed languages (which may or may not have native speakers). Old English is an example of a historic language. The ISO 639 language code for Old English is ang. A further ISO 639-3 criterion for historic languages is that they have a distinct literature from their descendant languages: in the example of Old English, Beowulf and other works of Old English literature form a distinct body of material.

The second season of the American Spanish-language reality television series La casa de los famosos premiered on May 10, 2022, with a live move-in on Telemundo. The show follows a group of celebrities living in a house together while being constantly filmed with no communication with the outside world as they compete to be the last competitor remaining to win the cash grand prize.
The season was announced on November 16, 2021. Héctor Sandarti and Jimena Gallego returned as hosts of the series.
The season concluded on August 8, 2022, after 91 days of competition with Ivonne Montero being crowned the winner, and Salvador Zerboni the runner-up.
Format
The season follows 17 celebrities living in a house together with no communication with the outside world and are constantly filmed during their time in the house. During their stay the Housemates share their thoughts on events of the house inside a private room referred to as the Confesionario (Confession Room). Each week, the housemates compete in the Head of Household competition, with the winner being immune from eviction. Each housemate has three nomination points to give to two housemates, giving 2 points to one housemate and 1 point to the other. The housemates with the most nomination points are put up for eviction and the Head of Household must save one of the nominees. A change this season is that the four housemates with the most nomination points are put up for eviction, unlike the previous season where the top three were put up for eviction. The public at home is able to vote on which housemate to evict via the show's main website. Beginning the eighth week, the public had to vote on which housemate they wanted to stay in the house, with the least voted housemate being evicted. Each week the housemates are assigned tasks in order to win their allowance for food.

Master Sergeant Buford A. Johnson (August 30, 1927 – April 15, 2017) was a member of the famed group of African-American World War II pilots and support personnel known as the Tuskegee Airmen. During World War II, he served as the chief mechanic servicing the fighter planes of the 99th Fighter Squadron of the 477th Composite Group.
In May 1949, Johnson served as the aircraft crew chief of the 332nd Fighter Group Weapons three-member pilot team that won the U.S. Air Force's inaugural "Top Gun" team competition held at the Las Vegas Air Force Base (now Nellis Air Force Base).
Biography
Early life
Buford A. Johnson was born in Longview, Texas on August 30, 1927. He was raised in Shiloh, Texas, graduating from the Shiloh High School in 1945.
Military career
When Johnson was 18 years old, the U.S. Military drafted him into the U.S. Navy. At the time, the only tasks that African-American men were allowed to do in the Navy were menial jobs, which he was not interested in doing. He learned that volunteering for a three-year tour of duty in the U.S. Army would supersede the draft orders, so Johnson instead enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1945. He became one of the first African-Americans allowed to work on U.S. fighter aircraft.
Johnson did his Basic Training at Sheppard Field Texas. Upon graduating, he was assigned to the 99th Fighter Squadron of the 477th Composite Group which was stationed at Godman Field, Kentucky.
After World War II, Johnson was stationed at Lockbourne AFB in Ohio and from there was transferred to Itazuke Air Base in Japan. At Itaszuke, his orders were to support a P-51 (later designated F-51) Mustang fighter Squadron; his abilities earned him the honor of being a mechanic on the 80th Fighter-Bomber Squadron's first F-80C Shooting Star aircraft. He became the first African-American to be a jet mechanic in the United States Air Force, a Crew Chief to work on jet aircraft, and a Crew Chief working on jet aircraft in a combat zone.

The Soštarić Vrabac, ( - sparrow), was a primary glider for basic pilot training designed and built in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1939.
Design and development
Of mixed composition, mostly wood and canvas, with undercarriage skis for landing, the Vrabac was designed by engineer Ivo Šoštarić in 1939, inspired by the success of the Zögling, a German primary glider. Unlike the Zögling, the Vrabac was not wire-braced, lacking a kingpost and using struts to brace the wings to the lower fuselage.
During tests at Vršac the Vrabac showed far better flight characteristics than not only its German exemplar, but also from the Polish Kocjan Wrona.
Production of 15 aircraft in two versions - A and B began in 1939, as the first serially built glider in Serbia. Production continued after World War II and more than 150 were made. Due to the simple design of this glider, it was also made in local aeroclubs' workshops during the winter, so that they could be used for training during the summer.

The Action of 22 September 1914 was an attack by the German U-boat that took place during the First World War. Three obsolete Royal Navy cruisers of the 7th Cruiser Squadron manned mainly by Royal Naval Reserve part-timers and sometimes referred to as the Live Bait Squadron, were sunk by U-9 while patrolling the southern North Sea.
Neutral ships and trawlers nearby began to rescue survivors but 1,459 British sailors were killed. There was a public outcry in Britain at the losses; the sinkings eroded confidence in the British government and damaged the reputation of the Royal Navy, when many countries were still unsure about taking sides in the war.
Background
The cruisers were part of the Southern Force (Rear-Admiral Arthur Christian) composed of the flagship , the light cruiser and the 7th Cruiser Squadron (7th CS, also known as Cruiser Squadron C, Rear-Admiral H. H. Campbell, nicknamed the live-bait squadron), comprising the armoured cruisers , , , and , the 1st and 3rd Destroyer flotillas, ten submarines of the 8th Oversea Flotilla and the attached scout cruiser, . The force patrolled the North Sea, supporting destroyers and submarines of the Harwich Force guarding against incursions by the Imperial German Navy into the English Channel.
Though all three ships were less than 15 years old, warship design had incorporated many changes since, like oil fuel and turbine engines. Concerns had been expressed about the vulnerability of the ships against modern German cruisers but the War Orders of 28 July 1914, reflecting pre-war assumptions about attacks by destroyers rather than submarines, remained in force. The ships were to patrol the area "south of the 54th parallel clear of enemy torpedo craft and destroyers" supported by Cruiser Force C during the day. The Harwich Patrol guarded the Dogger Bank and the Broad Fourteens further south; usually cruisers were to the north, closer to the Dogger Bank and sailed south at night. The cruisers moved to the Broad Four

Anna Marie Wooldridge (August 6, 1930 – August 14, 2010), known professionally as Abbey Lincoln, was an American jazz vocalist and songwriter. She was a civil rights activist beginning in the 1960s. Lincoln made a career out of delivering deeply felt presentations of standards as well as writing and singing her own material.
Musician
Born in Chicago but raised in Calvin Center, Cass County, Michigan, Lincoln was one of many singers influenced by Billie Holiday. Her debut album, Abbey Lincoln's Affair – A Story of a Girl in Love, was followed by a series of albums for Riverside Records. In 1960 she sang on Max Roach's landmark civil rights-themed recording, We Insist! Lincoln's lyrics were often connected to the civil rights movement in America.
In 1970, the short film Max and Abbey profiled Lincoln as a composer, vocalist, actress, writer, and activist, as well as Roach's creative partner. Stan Lathan directed the documentary, which was broadcast on Black Journal (TV program).
After a tour of Africa in the mid-1970s, she adopted the name Aminata Moseka.
During the 1980s, Lincoln's creative output was smaller and she released only a few albums. Her song "For All We Know" is featured in the 1989 film Drugstore Cowboy. During the 1990s and until her death, however, she fulfilled a 10-album contract with Verve Records.
These albums are highly regarded and represent a crowning achievement in Lincoln's career. Devil's Got Your Tongue (1992) featured Rodney Kendrick, Grady Tate, Yoron Israel, J. J. Johnson, Stanley Turrentine, Babatunde Olatunji and The Staple Singers, among others. In 2003, Lincoln received a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Award.
Her lyrics often reflected the ideals of the civil rights movement and helped in generating passion for the cause in the minds of her listeners. In addition to her musical career, she ventured into acting as well and appeared in movies such as The Girl Can't Help It, Nothing But a Man and For Love of Ivy. Sh

Since Bangladesh women's first Women's One Day International (WODI) in 2011, 35 players have represented the team. A WODI is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having WODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). An WODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings. The list is arranged in the order in which each player won her first ODI cap. Where more than one player won her first ODI cap in the same match, those players are listed alphabetically by surname.

Eric Dolphy at the Five Spot, Vols. 1 and 2, is a pair of jazz live albums documenting one night (16 July 1961) from the end of multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy and trumpeter Booker Little's two-week residency at the Five Spot jazz club in New York. This was the only night to be recorded. The engineer was Rudy Van Gelder.
A third volume from this session, titled the Memorial Album, was later released in 1965, after the premature deaths of both Little and Dolphy, containing "Number Eight (Potsa Lotsa)" and "Booker's Waltz". These two tracks were later released on the Van Gelder remaster of Volume 2.
All three volumes were reissued, without alternate takes, as a triple LP under the title The Great Concert of Eric Dolphy. Two other tracks, Mal Waldron's "Status Seeking" and Dolphy's solo rendition of Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child", were released on the Dolphy compilation Here and There. Dolphy and Little were backed by a rhythm section consisting of pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Eddie Blackwell.
Dolphy's composition "The Prophet" is a tribute to the artist Richard "Prophet" Jennings, who had designed the covers of Dolphy's earlier albums, Outward Bound and Out There.
Reception
In an AllMusic review of volume 1, Michael G. Nastos stated that Dolphy's group had "developed into a role model for all progressive jazz combos to come", while "[t]he combined power of Dolphy and Little -- exploring overt but in retrospect not excessive dissonance and atonality -- made them a target for critics but admired among the burgeoning progressive post-bop scene." Nastos continued: "With the always stunning shadings of pianist Mal Waldron, the classical-cum-daring bass playing of Richard Davis, and the colorful drumming of alchemistic Ed Blackwell, there was no stopping this group." He concluded: "Most hail this first volume, and a second companion album from the same sessions, as music that changed the jazz world as much as Ornette Coleman and John

Burgoyne was the class lead for a set of four locomotives built by the Dublin and Kingstown Railway (D&KR) in their own Grand Canal Street works from 1845.
History
Following the death of Richard Pim in August 1843 James Rawlins, a foreman at Grand Canal Street took position of locomotive superintendent. Construction of the five locomotives of the Princess class had finished in 1843 however trains were becoming heavier and beyond the capability of the earlier locomotives. The D&KR were essentially happy with basic tank locomotives, but sent Rawlins to England to become acquainted with the latest developments in locomotive development before embarking on the stronger design.
The class lead was Burgoyne built in 1845 and named after Sir John Fox Burgoyne, the Commissioner of Public Works who was crucial to the D&KR obtaining public loans for the building of the railway and who had given advice on the strengthening of sea embankments in 1836. Subsequent locomotives were named Cyclops, Vulcan and Jupiter and were completed in by 1847–8. Jupiter was the last new build locomotive for the D&KR.
As built in common will all D&KR tank engines the locomotives did not have brakes, the drivers stopping the locomotives when running light by skilled use of the reversing gear. A bad collision with Cyclops coming with a train into Westland Row Station caused this policy to be altered and brakes were subsequently fitted to the locomotives.
With the conversion of Westland Row to Kingstown from to 1856 with the takeover of operations by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway all four were converted to fit the new gauge, losing the Bergin central buffer and moving to corner buffers and orthodox couplings at the same time.
1864 saw the bulk of Westland Row to Kingstown and Bray services handed over to the seven new locomotives Ariel Class from Neilsons which dwarfed the Burgonyes.. This led to the withdrawal of Burgoyne and Jupiter by 1872; while Cyclops and Vulcan were rebuilt in
