a novel, geared, method – there was to be an initial downpayment of HK$1 per share upon subscribing to the offer, with cash calls of another HK$1 six months later. The final HK$2 instalment would be due at the year end.
In 2006, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) found that Henderson had breached the foreign-exchange regulations in the amount of HK$565 million. Henderson allegedly engaged Shenzhen Zhaotian Investments, headed by Tian Chenggang – whose father is former vice-premier Tian Jiyun – to lobby for leniency from the potential fine of 150 million yuan, according to Tian. On 4 December 2006, the company was issued with a fine of 2.33 million yuan (HK$2.9 million), which | 6,126,100 |
3528362 | Henderson Land Development | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henderson%20Land%20Development | Henderson Land Development
the company paid. Zhaotian sued in Hong Kong in 2012, claiming an oral agreement between Tian Chenggang and CFO Alexander Au for a HK$43 million "consultation fee", and failed upon appeal in 2015 due to the absence of documentary evidence of the agreement.
# Subsidiaries and associates.
The company's stakes in its principal associates as at 31 December 2014 were Towngas (41.51%), Miramar Hotel and Investment Co, Ltd (45.08%) and Hong Kong Ferry (33.33%).
## Henderson Investment.
As at 31 December 2014,Henderson Investment ("HI") was a 69.27% listed subsidiary of the Company ("67.14% as at 30 June 2006"), which previously held the group stakes in the Hong Kong Ferry (Holdings) Company, the | 6,126,101 |
3528362 | Henderson Land Development | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henderson%20Land%20Development | Henderson Land Development
Miramar Hotel Group, and The Hong Kong and China Gas Company. Its shares have been consistently trading at below NAV.
### Privatisation attempt.
In November 2002, the company attempted to buy out minority shareholders by making an all-cash offer of HKD 7.60, representing a 40% discount to NAV. The buyout offer fell when it was opposed by more than 14% of the holders of the outstanding shares. In November 2005, it made another attempt when it offered one share for every 2.6 share in HI, although the offer was subsequently sweetened to 2.5 shares. The revised deal valued HI at an 18% discount to its net asset value. The company had persuaded shareholder Templeton Investment to back the buyout. | 6,126,102 |
3528362 | Henderson Land Development | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henderson%20Land%20Development | Henderson Land Development
Nevertheless, this second offer was again rejected, more narrowly this time, by 10.94% of the minority vote. This was in excess of the statutory blocking vote of 10%.
### Asset sale to parent.
#### Miramar and HK Ferry.
When trading in both companies' shares were suspended on 26 March, there was speculation that the Company would launch another buyout attempt after the expiry of the one year legal moratorium.
On 27 March 2007, it was reported that the Company would not make another privatisation bid for the time being, but offered HK$12.1 billion for some of its subsidiary's assets, principally the holdings in Miramar Hotel and Hong Kong Ferry held by Henderson Investment. HI would make | 6,126,103 |
3528362 | Henderson Land Development | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henderson%20Land%20Development | Henderson Land Development
a special distribution of HK$5 per HI after the sale. Net of the HKD10.35 billion special distribution for its 73.5% stake, Henderson's net cash outlay will be $1.75 billion.
#### Towngas.
On 3 October 2007, the company proposed to pay market value only to gain control of Towngas. It would acquire the 39.06 percent stake in Towngas held by subsidiary Henderson Investment for HK$42.86 billion in cash and convertible notes. Minority shareholders of Henderson Investment, who together hold 30.73%, would receive 204.1 million Henderson Land shares and HK$1.19 billion in cash. The offer was considered by analysts to be favourable to the Company, and David Webb criticised the deal saying Henderson | 6,126,104 |
3528362 | Henderson Land Development | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henderson%20Land%20Development | Henderson Land Development
was acquiring the stake on the cheap, without paying any control premium to minority shareholders of Henderson Investment. Webb further criticised the nature of the offer as a back-door privatisation of Henderson Investment, which would virtually be a shell company after the transfer of the stake.
On 7 November, Henderson sweetened the offer to appease minority shareholders (mainly Elliott Capital) by increasing the cash portion to HK$2.24 per share. On 7 December 2007, Henderson secured shareholders' support for the usurpation.
## Sunlight REIT.
On 8 December 2006, the company spun off and listed 12 office and 8 retail properties in Hong Kong into a Real Estate Investment Trust, "Sunlight". | 6,126,105 |
3528362 | Henderson Land Development | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henderson%20Land%20Development | Henderson Land Development
However, the issue fell by 6.5% on its market début on 21 December, and as at March 2007 has fallen 16.2 percent (since the listing) due to investors' apprehension of financial engineering of the REIT.
The estimated distribution yield stands at 10%, the highest among Hong Kong REITs. Yet, investors fear a decline of distribution after yield-boosting mechanisms, such as interest swaps. Henderson Land also offered a temporary dividend waiver as a sweetener. Yields are expected to fall in 2010, and again in 2012 as rental reversions come through. The issue's flop was cited as the reason Regal Hotels International chose to delay its own planned REIT offering.

Ambrogio Casati
Ambrogio Casati (December 27, 1897 – July 19, 1977) was an Italian painter.
He was born in Voghera, Italy in 1897 and was schooled in Paris in the plastic arts. Upon his return to Italy, he became associated with Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and the Futurist movement that was gaining force in the Italian arts scene of the time. His best-known pieces include "The Dance of the Chairs" (1931) and "Portrait of Marinetti" (1927). Casati was also the mentor of the future computer art pioneer Aldo Giorgini.
Casati died in Pavia in 1977. | 6,126,122 |

Michael (1924 film)
Michael (also known as Mikaël, Chained: The Story of the Third Sex, and Heart's Desire) was a German silent film released in 1924, directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, director of other notable silents such as "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928), "Master of the House" (1925), and "Leaves from Satan's Book" (1921). The film stars Walter Slezak as the titular Michael, the young assistant and model to the artist Claude Zoret (Benjamin Christensen). Along with "Different From the Others" (1919) and "Sex in Chains" (1928), "Michael" is widely considered a landmark in gay silent cinema.
The film is based on Herman Bang's 1902 novel "Mikaël". It is the second screen adaptation of the | 6,126,123 |
3528415 | Michael (1924 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael%20(1924%20film) | Michael (1924 film)
book, the first being "The Wings", made eight years prior by director Mauritz Stiller. "Michael", however, follows Bang's storyline much more closely than the earlier film version.
# Plot.
A famous painter named Claude Zoret falls in love with one of his models, Michael, and for a time the two live happily as partners. Zoret is considerably older than Michael, and as they age, Michael begins to drift from him, although Zoret is completely blind to this. When a bankrupt countess comes to Zoret to have a portrait made — with the real intent of seducing him and swindling his money — she finds Michael to be more receptive to her advances. At her lead, the two quickly become a couple and she immediately | 6,126,124 |
3528415 | Michael (1924 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael%20(1924%20film) | Michael (1924 film)
begins using Michael to steal from Zoret. When Zoret discovers what has been going on, he is crushed and his work suffers terribly.
Michael sells the painting of himself that Zoret made and gave to him as a gift, and steals and sells the sketches Zoret made of their time in Algiers, where they first fell in love. Zoret begins work on his masterpiece: a large-scale painting of a man lying on a beach, using Algiers as a background, depicting "a man who has lost everything", as one character put it on first sight of the work.
After completing the painting, Zoret falls ill. Charles Switt sits beside Zoret on his deathbed. Switt had always loved Zoret, and has stayed with him throughout, never | 6,126,125 |

criticizing Michael for fear of hurting his unrequited love. Switt sends a message to Michael, telling him that Zoret is dying and to come at once, but the Countess prevents him from getting it. Zoret's last words, which also serve as the prologue to the film, are "Now I can die in peace, for I have seen true love."

# Critical reception and legacy.
Initial responses to the film included some major objections. Film critic Mordaunt Hall, writing in December, 1926 for "The New York Times", pronounced:
"Chained" is a dull piece of work, redeemed only by some artistic scenes and Benjamin Christensen's able portrayal of Claude Zoret, an artist...The actress cast as a princess does not screen well, and Walter Slezak, who figures as the youth, gives a stilted, amateurish impersonation.
He criticizes the film for what he perceived as opportunism for a German director to take a "fling at France" by filming | 6,126,127 |
3528415 | Michael (1924 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael%20(1924%20film) | Michael (1924 film)
less than favorable national figures on the screen (Zoret was purportedly based on French sculptor Auguste Rodin). The homosexual undertones also upset reviewers, since ""Michael" [was] one of the very few big-budget mainstream studio productions from the silent period that [dealt] with homosexuality; although it remains implicit, it was readily apparent to many contemporaries."
After Dreyer had further established himself as a prominent director through his later films – most notably "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928), which is considered a masterpiece – critics began to reevaluate "Michael". From the perspective of auteur theory, this film exhibits many trademark elements of Dreyer's personal | 6,126,128 |
3528415 | Michael (1924 film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael%20(1924%20film) | Michael (1924 film)
directorial style, such as his use of close-ups in a "way that... makes a tranquil picture of overwhelming feelings." It has also been suggested that the film reflects personal feelings harbored by Dreyer after a purported homosexual affair.
The film has been cited to have influenced several directors. Alfred Hitchcock drew upon motifs from "Michael" for his script for "The Blackguard" (1925). The film is considered an important early work in gay silent cinema.

Faith, Angelus pulls away in shock as she flashes back to earlier, when she injected herself with a drug stolen from a vampire junkie at the demon bar. Angelus and Faith both collapse, unconscious. Gunn drags Angelus's body to the Hyperion Hotel, where he and Connor shackle Angelus securely in the basement cage. Wesley brings a barely alive Faith to one of the hotel bedrooms. Knowing Faith injected herself with Orpheus, an enchanted psychedelic drug that poses a serious threat to her life, Lorne yells at Wesley for allowing Faith to purposely get bit by Angelus. Connor updates Cordelia on Faith and Angelus' conditions. Suddenly, Cordelia brutally shoves Connor into a wall in response to his | 6,126,132 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
constant talk about Faith. He's shocked and she tries to cover her behavior by blaming it on the pregnancy and crazy hormones.
Downstairs, Connor shouts at Fred and Wesley about the need for killing Angelus, when Willow Rosenberg appears at the door suggesting that she's a better alternative. Fred called Willow for help since she's the only one alive to have successfully restored Angel's soul. Willow wants to see Cordelia again and Connor reluctantly takes her upstairs. As Willow talks about the difficulties associated with ensouling Angelus, Cordelia secretly reaches for a large knife under her pillow and tries to get Willow close enough to strike. Willow realizes if they break the jar, they | 6,126,133 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
can avoid all the complications and free the soul. Willow rushes out of the room in time to unknowingly avoid the knife thrown at her, which hits the door instead.
In their shared coma, Angelus and Faith witness the 1920s-version of Angel rescue a small puppy from an oncoming car. Angelus is infuriated at being subjected to the memory again, and Faith realizes with glee that they're experiencing Angel's good deeds of the past. Next, a hippie Angel walks into a diner and selects "Mandy" on the jukebox, as Angelus complains to Faith about watching Angel's self-induced misery. A man barges into the diner and asks for money, but shoots the cashier when he doesn't react quickly enough. The shooter | 6,126,134 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
runs away, and Angel struggles with his desire to feed on the cashier, which wins out. The bite marks on dream-Faith's neck begins to bleed and she realizes Angel could have saved the cashier. Angelus watches on as Angel suffers with the guilt of feeding, enjoying Faith's pain as well.
Before Willow can begin her spell to locate the jar holding Angel's soul, the Beast Master's deep voice screams a warning to stop. Willow's magic overpowers the Master's, and Willow begins her spell as Cordelia works counter-magic from the bedroom. When Connor breaks Cordelia's concentration by trying to enter the bedroom, Willow is able to magically shatter the jar. Using the Orb of Thesulah, Willow and Fred | 6,126,135 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
begin the ritual that will give Angel back his soul. Dream-Faith finds herself in a dirty alley with Angelus again, watching past-Angel, having forsaken all human ties, feed on a rat (shortly prior to the events of the 1996 flashback in "Becoming, Part One", wherein the demon Whistler almost literally dragged Angel from the gutter—commenting on his rat-feeding habits in the process—and set him on the path to his supposed destiny as Buffy's ally and a champion of the Powers That Be). In a twist, past-Angel turns and addresses the twosome. Angelus and Angel face-off and begin to exchange blows, as Angel convinces Faith that life is worth living and she has to wake up. Faith disappears.
When Connor | 6,126,136 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
finally breaks into her barricaded bedroom, Cordy smashes a lamp over his head, then pretends not to have known it was him. Cordy deceives Connor into thinking Willow's magic is evil and threatens their unborn child. She tells him he has to kill Angelus to protect their family. Willow completes the restoration spell, pulling Angelus and Angel into one body, while Faith wakes up and rushes downstairs to the basement in time to stop Connor from staking Angel. She begins to beat up Connor until Angel wakes up and stops the fight. Later, Faith tells Angel that she is going back to Sunnydale with Willow to aid Buffy and her allies. After they leave, a very pregnant Cordelia comes downstairs and shocks | 6,126,137 |

the gang with the serious trouble they still have to deal with.
# Production.
The WB network cut short the final moments of the first airing of "Orpheus" for an emergency broadcast announcing that the United States had invaded Iraq. The episode was rerun the following Saturday.
Director Terrence O'Hara says the fight scene at the end of the previous episode and the beginning of this episode is "probably my favorite just because of the content of the show and the difficulty." The scene was shot in an abandoned bank in downtown Los Angeles and employed scaffolding to make the fight "more vertical" according to producer Jeffrey Bell. O'Hara explains that due to Alexis Denisof's bad back, the | 6,126,138 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
show-motion shot of Wesley carrying Faith was a difficult one. The fight scene between Angel and Angelus, which took two days to film, was something that Bell had "waited to do for four years." It was made possible by a split screen and a camera lock-off, explains O'Hara. "We played back to match shot for shot. He was hitting space."
The scenes of Chicago in the 1920s were filmed on Universal Studios' back lot. O'Hara enjoyed the look of the classic cars, although many of the moving cars were actually being pushed by the grips "because they were very noisy," O'Hara says. Additional scenes showing Angel and Faith reliving portions of the episode "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been" had to be | 6,126,139 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
cut due to length.
Jeffrey Bell says, "we apologize for the big, stupid floaty head" that appeared during the magical battle between Willow and Cordelia. He explains, "We had really great hopes for it and it just became something you'd see on It's a Small World in Disneyland. Just not quite as scary as we had hoped." During the final shot of Faith and Angel on the terrace, which Bell describes as "a hallmark of a Joss Whedon show - all the good-byes and the sentiments without anyone ever getting sentimental" - Eliza Dushku came to the set with laryngitis and could not speak. "This scene was supposed to be first up," says O'Hara. "I begged (show runner) Kelly Manners to keep it to the end of | 6,126,140 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
the day and let her recover, and she did."
## Acting.
Producer Tim Minear had the idea to bring back actress Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg to re-ensoul Angel. This episode is Hannigan's third crossover into "Angel"; she previously appeared on the phone to Cordelia in "Disharmony", and delivered the news of Buffy's death at the end of "There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb". Hannigan, involved in both "American Pie" and "Buffy" while this episode filmed, was excited to work with her fiancé, Alexis Denisof, whom she met while the two were on "Buffy". Denisof was also excited. "I feel like it's a play day. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm at work," he said. "My girl is here... really | 6,126,141 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
all I want to do is run over and give her a hug."
Terrence points out in the donut shop scene with Angel and Faith that, "The gunman here is actually Eliza's brother Nate."
Charisma Carpenter is genuinely pregnant in this episode, and has been since Cordelia's return from the "higher plane".
## Writing.
The title refers to the Greek myth of Orpheus. A legendary musician, Orpheus followed his dead wife into the Underworld to beg for her return.
Asked how prison has changed the angry, aggressive Faith, Eliza Dushku says, "How would prison change anyone? There was something about the fact that she's a Slayer, so she wouldn't really be there unless she wanted to be, because she's got superhuman | 6,126,142 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
strength. She could have busted out of that joint if she really wanted to. But she and Angel developed this relationship. He was leading her down the road to redemption, kind of facing the things she's done and recovering from that, and hopefully being a better her. She's been in there, doing the time, thinking. She's still a tough girl, but she really has to suppress her demons a little more. In these past few shows, that's what we're seeing—her teetering on the line between the old her and the new her."
"It's a big arc for us," says David Boreanaz. He explains that Faith and Angel "really get along well together. They owe each other... That's why, when she hears Angelus is out, she automatically | 6,126,143 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
breaks out of prison. She doesn't even think it, she's out. Because of what he's done for her. And they share that common bond." He adds, "It's going to be interesting to see how Angelus relates to Faith, because he's never met her before and this is going to be fun for him."
Willow and (evil) Cordelia's conversation about what they've been up to since they last communicated, is similar to a conversation Buffy Summers and Amy Madison have in the 6th season of Buffy.
Willow: "(sits on the bed beside Cordy)" How've you been?br
Cordelia: Higher power. You?br
Willow: Ultimate evil. But I got better.
Buffy: Hi." (awkwardly)" How've you been?br
Amy: Rat. You?br
Buffy: Dead.br
Amy: Oh.

3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
Arc significance.
- Faith accompanies Willow back to Sunnydale in "Dirty Girls" to aid in the battle against The First Evil.
- Willow restores Angel's soul for the second time, and magically battles Jasmine (in Cordelia's body).
- Willow openly flirts with Fred.
## Continuity.
- In Angelus' flashback, Angel chooses "Mandy" by Barry Manilow, the same song he sings the first time he sings at Caritas in "Judgment," another pivotal moment in his fall and rise to eventual hero status. "Mandy" was first released in 1974, meaning the flashback must occur at some point after that; later in the episode, Angelus remarks that Angel spent twenty years feeding on rats after this incident, placing it | 6,126,145 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
in 1976, since a flashback in the "Buffy" episode "Becoming" depicts Angel as being lifted from his rat-feeding days by Whistler in 1996 (see above). Angelus also mentions that Angel sometimes attended Manilow concerts, much to Angelus' disgust.
- The lyrics to "Mandy" are unusually relevant to Angel's life; the singer/narrator first describes himself as "a shadow of a man... crying in the night," reminiscent of Angel's post-ensoulment despair and isolation. The lyrics also describe how the man "walked away when love was" his to have, similar to Angel's departure from Sunnydale years before, at the end of "Graduation Day," leaving Buffy despite their love for each other.
- Crossover with "Buffy": | 6,126,146 |
3528377 | Orpheus (Angel) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orpheus%20(Angel) | Orpheus (Angel)
Willow received Fred's phone call in "Lies My Parents Told Me". Several references to past events in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are mentioned by Willow including being gay, dating Kennedy, and Willow's turn to the dark side at the end of Season 6.
- Fred references Sunnydale's Hellmouth.
- This episodes marks Willow's third and final appearance on "Angel". It is also the last "Angel" episode in which Faith is seen.

However, webzine PopMatters complained about the rapid resolution of seemingly unsolvable problems in the last quarter of this episode.

3528477 | Corry v. Stanford University | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corry%20v.%20Stanford%20University | Corry v. Stanford University
Corry v. Stanford University
Robert J. Corry, et al. v. The Leland Stanford Junior University, et al., No. 740309 (Cal. Super. Ct. Feb. 27, 1995), was a case in which the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California ruled that Stanford University's speech code violated the freedom of speech rights of its students guaranteed under California's Leonard Law.
# Arguments.
On May 2, 1994, Robert J. Corry and nine other Stanford students filed suit arguing that Stanford's speech code violated California's Leonard Law. The 1992 law had applied the First Amendment to all of California's secular private colleges and universities.
In addition to Stanford University itself, the defendants included | 6,126,159 |
3528477 | Corry v. Stanford University | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corry%20v.%20Stanford%20University | Corry v. Stanford University
Judicial Affairs Officer Sally Cole, President Gerhard Casper, and Board of Trustees President John Freidenrich. The defendants made two arguments in the suit. First, they argued that Stanford's speech code was protected under "Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire", as the code only prohibited fighting words. Secondly, they argued that the Leonard Law actually violated Stanford's First Amendment rights, as Stanford is a private entity.
# Ruling.
On February 27, 1995, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Peter G. Stone ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.
Stone ruled that the Stanford speech code restricted more than just fighting words, by including insulting speech. Therefore, using the Leonard Law | 6,126,160 |
3528477 | Corry v. Stanford University | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corry%20v.%20Stanford%20University | Corry v. Stanford University
and "Chaplinsky", the code was illegal. He ruled further that even if he accepted the argument that the speech code only restricted fighting words, it was still illegal using the Leonard Law and "R. A. V. v. City of St. Paul" as the code restricted speech based on content.
Stone also ruled that the Leonard Law was constitutional, essentially because it did not in any way restrict the speech of the university as a corporate entity. The university remained free to express its abhorrence of racial and other forms of prejudice. He ruled that the law expanded, rather than contracted, the range of legally permissible speech by protecting the free speech rights of students without abridging those | 6,126,161 |
3528477 | Corry v. Stanford University | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corry%20v.%20Stanford%20University | Corry v. Stanford University
ts abhorrence of racial and other forms of prejudice. He ruled that the law expanded, rather than contracted, the range of legally permissible speech by protecting the free speech rights of students without abridging those of the university itself. To be able to express its own opposition to prejudice, he ruled that it was not necessary for the university to have the power to prohibit speech with which it strongly disagreed.

CBS Sports Network
CBS Sports Network is an American pay television network that is owned by the CBS Corporation. When it launched in 2002 as the National College Sports Network (later College Sports Television also known as CSTV), it operated as a multi-platform media brand which also included its primary website, collegesports.com, and a network of websites operated for the athletic departments of 215 colleges and universities.
After CSTV was acquired by CBS in 2008, the network was re-branded as the CBS College Sports Network. The network initially maintained its college sports focus, but in February 2011, the service was re-branded as CBS Sports Network to re-position it as a mainstream | 6,126,163 |
3528411 | CBS Sports Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CBS%20Sports%20Network | CBS Sports Network
sports service. The network continues to have a particular focus on college sports, along with coverage of smaller leagues and events, simulcasts of sports radio shows both the CBS Sports Radio network and Entercom's WFAN (formerly owned outright by CBS), and studio and analysis programming.
As of May 2015, CBS Sports Network is available to approximately 61 million pay television households (52.6% of households with television) in the United States.
# History.
The network's roots began in 1999 when Chris Bevilacqua approached the co-founders of the Classic Sports Network, Brian Bedol and Stephen D. Greenberg (son of Hank Greenberg) – at that time, running Fusient Media Ventures, a New York-based | 6,126,164 |
3528411 | CBS Sports Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CBS%20Sports%20Network | CBS Sports Network
sports and media company – with the idea for a subscription network featuring college sports 24 hours a day. Under the leadership of Bedol as CEO, the network was originally named the National College Sports Network in June 2002, was subsequently renamed College Sports Television (CSTV) and launched on February 23, 2003. From their headquarters and studio operations at Chelsea Piers in New York City, CSTV was the first independent pay-television channel to be distributed nationwide, having been carried on satellite provider DirecTV at launch.
In November 2005, College Sports Television was purchased by CBS Corporation (which had just recently split from Viacom at the time) for $325 million. | 6,126,165 |
3528411 | CBS Sports Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CBS%20Sports%20Network | CBS Sports Network
On January 3, 2008, it was announced that CSTV would be integrated into CBS Sports, with the sports division's executive vice president and executive producer, Tony Petitti, taking over day-to-day operational management of CSTV, which would be overseen by CBS News and Sports president Sean McManus. CSTV co-founder Brian Bedol would become a senior advisor to CBS Corporation president and CEO Leslie Moonves (Petitti has since left CBS to take on the same role for the MLB Network).
In the fall of 2006, CSTV launched more than 100 broadband channels dedicated to college sports, which feature more than 10,000 live events. The subscription/pay-per-view service, called CBS College Sports XXL, and | 6,126,166 |

On February 12, 2008, CBS Corporation announced that, as part of the ongoing integration of CSTV into CBS Sports, that the network would be renamed the CBS College Sports Network on March 16, coinciding with the start of CBS's coverage of the NCAA's basketball tournament. Studio shows moved from the original Chelsea Piers headquarters to the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th Street in 2012. As part of the relaunch, the network added a new news program, "College Sports Tonight". That program was canceled in 2010, however | 6,126,167 |
3528411 | CBS Sports Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CBS%20Sports%20Network | CBS Sports Network
other studio shows (including "Inside College Football" and "Inside College Basketball") still originate from the Chelsea Piers location.
On February 15, 2011, CBS announced that the network would be relaunched as CBS Sports Network on April 4 (coinciding with the end of the 2011 NCAA basketball tournament), repositioning it as a mainstream sports network in the same vein as ESPN.
# High definition.
A high definition simulcast feed of the channel, broadcasting at 1080i, was launched in August 2008. Prior to the launch of the feed, the two NCAA basketball tournament games that aired in March 2008, which were presented in HD on CBS, were converted to a standard definition feed. CBS Sports Network | 6,126,168 |

uses the AFD #10 broadcast flag to present programming on its standard definition feed in letterboxed widescreen for viewers watching through television sets.
# Programming.
CBS Sports Network televises original programming, features, talk shows and documentaries as well as extensive women's sports coverage. Its regular season and championship event coverage draws from every major collegiate athletic conference and division, in addition to nine NCAA championships. CBS Sports Network televises 35 men's and women's college sports including football, basketball, baseball, ultimate, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, wrestling and volleyball from every major conference. The network holds multi-media and | 6,126,169 |

marketing rights for the Mountain West Conference, the Atlantic 10 Conference, Conference USA, the Patriot League, Army football and Navy football.
In April 2006, the network organized the first Collegiate Nationals, a festival of championships dedicated to crowning champions in a wide variety of collegiate action sports such as snowboarding, wakeboarding and beach volleyball. More than 1,000 competitors converged on Reno-Tahoe to compete, the largest number ever for an event of its kind. For its second installment in 2007, the Collegiate Nationals added sports and other events such as national film and music competitions, as well as a second venue – San Diego. The third year, 2008, brought | 6,126,170 |

further changes, as the winter sports events were moved to the Keystone Resort near Boulder, Colorado and competitive eating was added.
In the fall of 2006, CSTV and Comcast launched the MountainWest Sports Network (colloquially known as "The Mtn."), a network focusing exclusively on the Mountain West Conference. The relation with the network also gave CSTV exclusive online and broadcasting rights to Notre Dame's game at Air Force on November 11, 2006 – which caused controversy since CSTV did not have carriage as widely distributed as other networks that have aired Notre Dame games. The Irish did not revisit a Mountain West team until a 2013 game at Air Force, which once again aired on CBSSN.

United Football League – a second-tier professional football league that began play in October 2009 – to televise its games for the 2012 season. The UFL paid for all production expenses and received no rights fee from CBS Sports Network for the broadcasts. The league lasted approximately four weeks on CBS Sports Network before suspending operations halfway through the season.
In September 2012, CBS Sports Network introduced "NFL Monday QB", a weekly NFL recap show. In September 2013, the network expanded its supplemental NFL coverage with "That Other Pre-Game Show", a four-hour "fan-focused" program positioned as an interactive, "casual" counterpart to other pre-game shows, hosted by Adam Schein, | 6,126,173 |
3528411 | CBS Sports Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CBS%20Sports%20Network | CBS Sports Network
Bart Scott, Amy Trask, and Brandon Tierney. On April 26, 2013, the network announced that it had signed a deal with the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Series for the remainder of the 2013 and the 2014 seasons. The network aired flag to flag coverage for the races as well as live coverage for several of the races. The network broadcast the FIA WTCC Race of the United States from Sonoma Raceway on September 8, 2013.
On December 2, 2013, CBS Sports Network announced that it was to begin simulcasting the "Boomer and Carton" (now "Boomer and Gio")morning show from then co-owned sports talk radio station WFAN in New York City in January 2014.
In October 2014, CBS Sports Network launched a | 6,126,174 |
3528411 | CBS Sports Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CBS%20Sports%20Network | CBS Sports Network
new talk show, "We Need To Talk", which became the first, and only, nationally televised all-female sports panel show. Regular panellists include former professional boxer Laila Ali, former professional basketball player Lisa Leslie and USTA President Katrina Adams.
In August 2015, the network premiered "Time to Schein", a new program hosted by Adam Schein.
In July 2017, the network announced a new documentary series, "Four Sides of the Story", to examine notable moments in sports from four perspectives each; the series premiere focused on the Villanova Wildcats' buzzer beater at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Game.
CBS Sports Network was one of three cable broadcasters | 6,126,175 |
3528411 | CBS Sports Network | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CBS%20Sports%20Network | CBS Sports Network
of the Alliance of American Football—a second-tier developmental football league, alongside NFL Network and TNT. A weekly game and one playoff game were assigned to CBSSN. As was the case with the UFL, the AAF paid CBS Sports Network for the airtime; the AAF abruptly ceased operations before the season ended.
On April 4, 2019, the 3-on-3 basketball league Big3 announced that it would move to CBS and CBS Sports Network for its 2019 season. CBSSN will air at least 25 hours of coverage, including coverage of the league's draft.

TURBOMOLE
TURBOMOLE is an ab initio computational chemistry program that implements various quantum chemistry methods. It was initially developed by the group of Prof. Reinhart Ahlrichs at the University of Karlsruhe.
In 2007, TURBOMOLE GmbH, founded by R. Ahlrichs, F. Furche, C. Hättig, W. Klopper, M. Sierka, and F. Weigend, took over the responsibility for the coordination of the scientific development of TURBOMOLE program, for which the company holds all copy and intellectual property rights. In 2018 David P. Tew joined the TURBOMOLE GmbH. Since 1987, this program is one of the useful tools as it involves in many fields of research including heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, organic | 6,126,186 |
3528480 | TURBOMOLE | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TURBOMOLE | TURBOMOLE
and inorganic chemistry, spectroscopy as well as biochemistry. This can be illustrated by citation records of Ahlrich′s 1989 publication which is more than 5300 times as of 24 September 2016. In the year 2014, the second Turbomole article has been published. The number of citations from both papers indicates that the Turbomole's user base is expanding.
# General features.
Turbomole was developed in 1987 and turned into a mature program system under the control of Reinhart Ahlrichs and his collaborators. Turbomole can perform a large-scale quantum chemical simulations of molecules, clusters, and later periodic solids. Gaussian basis sets are used in Turbomole. The functionality of the program | 6,126,187 |
3528480 | TURBOMOLE | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TURBOMOLE | TURBOMOLE
concentrates extensively on the electronic structure methods with effective cost-performance characteristics such as density functional theory, second–order Møller-Plesset and coupled cluster theory. Aside from energies and structures, an assortment of optical, electrical, and magnetic properties are available from analytical energy derivative for electronic ground and excited states. However, up to the year 2000, Turbomole was only limited to the calculation of molecules in gas phase, thus, COSMO has been implemented in the Turbomole in a cooperative initiative of BASF AG and Bayer AG. Turbomole version 6.5 releasing in the year 2013, comes with post-Kohn-Sham calculations within the random-phase | 6,126,188 |
3528480 | TURBOMOLE | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TURBOMOLE | TURBOMOLE
e version 6.5 releasing in the year 2013, comes with post-Kohn-Sham calculations within the random-phase approximation. Turbomole also comes with another significant additions including nonadiabatic molecular dynamics, ultra-efficient higher order CC methods, new density functionals and periodic calculations. TmoleX is available as a graphical user interface for Turbomole allowing the user to perform the entire workflow of a quantum chemical investigation ranging from building of an initial structure to the interpretation of the results.
# Version history.
The current version of Turbomole is V7.3 released in July 2018

Swedish Municipal Workers' Union
The Swedish Municipal Workers' Union (), is the largest trade union in Sweden with 570 000 members as of 2005, it was created 1910. It is commonly referred to as "Kommunal" (""Municipal"").
The majority of members are employed by varying local level municipalities.
Farm workers and co-operatives are also commonly found in this union.
Some professions that this union represents are:
- Childcare employees
- Bus drivers
- Ambulance drivers
- Firefighters
- Elderly care workers
Kommunal was headed between 1996 and 2010 by general secretary Ylva Thörn. She was succeeded by Annelie Nordström. Nordström resigned from her post on 20 January 2016 after a corruption | 6,126,194 |
3528507 | Swedish Municipal Workers' Union | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Swedish%20Municipal%20Workers'%20Union | Swedish Municipal Workers' Union
scandal involving the union's leadership was exposed.
As of 2005, 80% of the union's members are female. A third of its members are under 30 years of age. This is attributed to the representation of welfare jobs such as child and elderly care workers.
In recent history, this union has called two major strikes:
- From 28 September to 20 October 1995 a strike was called that affected the sports industry workers in Sweden greatly. major league soccer and hockey was not able to start until the issue was resolved.
- Another strike was called in 2003, this time mainly affecting childcare workers. The Firefighters got a worse deal after the strike, so there is talk among them to form an independent | 6,126,195 |

Lake Singkarak
Lake Singkarak () is a lake in West Sumatra, Indonesia. It is located between the regencies of Tanah Datar and Solok Regency. It has an area of 107.8 km², being approximately 21 km long and 7 km wide. The natural outlet for excess water is the Ombilin river which flows eastward to the Strait of Malacca. A hydroelectric project, however, has diverted most of the lake outflow to the Anai river which flows westward into the Indian Ocean near Padang. This Singkarak power station uses this water to generate power for the West Sumatra and Riau provinces. A species of fish called "ikan bilih" ("Mystacoleucus padangensis") is endemic to the lake, and is harvested for human consumption. | 6,126,197 |
