No Time (Serebro song)
"Не Время" ("Ne Vremya"; "No Time") is the sixth single by Russian girl group Serebro. The single was released on 19 April 2010 and is the second single to feature the vocals of group member, Anastasia Karpova, as well as the second single to be written by group producer Maxim Fadeev and band member Olga Seryabkina following ""Сладко"". The single's English counterpart "Sexing U" (sometimes stylised as "Sexing You") was first performed at the MTV Russia Beach Party on 28 August 2010 and later released on 18 September 2010.

on the same day, however, the band later asked fans to remix their own version of the song and will be featured as the EP. After that was finished, a total of six members won the competition and their remixes were chosen. It was, however, released after one month of the official release. RussianFamous.com had said that the song was "filled with sensual vocals and languid eroticism, promises to be the main superhits this spring in Russia! Stylish sound, noble style and quality of European level – as always".

RRS William Scoresby
RRS "William Scoresby" was British Royal Research Ship built for operations in Antarctic waters. Specially built for the Discovery Committee by Cook, Welton & Gemmell of Beverley, the ship was launched on 31 December 1925, and named after the noted 19th-century Arctic explorer, scientist and clergyman. Over the next 12 years the ship made seven voyages into Antarctic waters as part of the Discovery Investigations, accompanied by the ship until 1929, and then by "Discovery II". During this time she marked about 3,000 whales and completed biological, hydrographical and oceanographic studies. She also took part in the 2nd Wilkins-Hearst Antarctic Expedition in 1929-1930, launching | 6,126,912 |

ing a Lockheed Vega floatplane for flights over Antarctica.
Laid up in St Katharine Docks in 1938, she was the requisitioned by the Admiralty in October 1939 and converted into a minesweeper. Commissioned as HMS "William Scoresby" (J122) in June 1940 she was stationed in the Falkland Islands. In early 1944 she took part in Operation Tabarin, establishing British bases in Antarctica. The vessel was decommissioned in September 1946, and transferred to the newly formed National Institute of Oceanography in February 1951. She made one last voyage, surveying the Benguela Current off the west coast of Africa, before finally being sold for scrapping by the British Iron & Steel Corporation in 1954. | 6,126,913 |
28147382 | Cannabicyclohexanol | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cannabicyclohexanol | Cannabicyclohexanol
Cannabicyclohexanol
Cannabicyclohexanol (CCH, CP 47,497 dimethyloctyl homologue, (C8)-CP 47,497) is a cannabinoid receptor agonist drug, developed by Pfizer in 1979. On 19 January 2009, the University of Freiburg in Germany announced that an analog of CP 47,497 was the main active ingredient in the herbal incense product "Spice", specifically the 1,1-dimethyloctyl homologue of CP 47,497, which is now known as cannabicyclohexanol. The 1,1-dimethyloctyl homologue of CP 47,497 is in fact several times more potent than the parent compound, which is somewhat unexpected as the 1,1-dimethylheptyl is the most potent substituent in classical cannabinoid compounds such as HU-210.
# Enantiomers.
Cannabicyclohexanol | 6,126,914 |
28147382 | Cannabicyclohexanol | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cannabicyclohexanol | Cannabicyclohexanol
has four enantiomers, which by analogy with other related cannabinoid compounds can be expected to have widely varying affinity for cannabinoid receptors, and consequently will show considerable variation in potency. While the (-)-"cis" enantiomer (-)-cannabicyclohexanol discovered in the original Pfizer research is expected to be the most potent, all four enantiomers have been isolated from illicit samples of this compound, and the properties of the other three enantiomers have not been studied in detail. Most commonly cannabicyclohexanol is encountered as a diastereomeric mix of the two "cis" or two "trans" isomers in varying ratios, though more rarely a mixture of all four enantiomers has | 6,126,915 |
28147382 | Cannabicyclohexanol | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cannabicyclohexanol | Cannabicyclohexanol
been seen, as well as reasonably enantiopure samples of the most active isomer. Confusion can arise around the naming of these compounds as they can be viewed either as substituted phenols or substituted cyclohexanols, but this results in different numbering of the rings. Consequently, the active isomer can be named either 2-[(1S,3R)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl]-5-(2-methylnonan-2-yl)phenol or (1R,3S)-3-[2-hydroxy-4-(2-methylnonan-2-yl)phenyl]cyclohexan-1-ol.
# Toxicity.
(C8)-CP 47,497 has been shown to cause DNA damage and inflammation in directly exposed human cells "in vitro", though it is unclear if this has any relevance "in vivo".
# Legal status.
Cannabicyclohexanol is not listed in the schedules | 6,126,916 |
28147382 | Cannabicyclohexanol | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cannabicyclohexanol | Cannabicyclohexanol
elevance "in vivo".
# Legal status.
Cannabicyclohexanol is not listed in the schedules set out by the United Nations' Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs from 1961 nor their Convention on Psychotropic Substances from 1971, so the signatory countries to these international drug control treaties are not required by said treaties to control Cannabicyclohexanol.
## United States.
Cannabicyclohexanol is a Schedule I controlled substance in the USA.
### Vermont.
Effective January 1, 2016, cannabicyclohexanol is a regulated drug in Vermont designated as a "Hallucinogenic Drug."

Hitchin Town Cricket Club Ground
Hitchin Cricket Club Ground is a cricket ground in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1877, when Hertfordshire played Essex. Hertfordshire played their first Minor Counties Championship match on the ground in 1908 against Cambridgeshire. Hertfordshire used the ground until 1914, and following a 37 year break from the ground, it returned in 1951. From 1914 to 1998, the ground played host to 38 Minor Counties Championship matches and 2 MCCA Knockout Trophy matches.
The ground has also hosted List-A matches, the first of which came in the 1966 Gillette Cup between Hertfordshire and Berkshire. From 1966 to 1989, the ground held | 6,126,918 |

8 List-A matches, the last of which was between Hertfordshire and Nottinghamshire in the 1989 NatWest Trophy. The most famous List-A match on the ground saw Hertfordshire defeat first-class county Essex in the 1976 Gillette Cup.
In local domestic cricket, Hitchin Cricket Club Ground is the home ground of Hitchin Cricket Club. They play in the Hertfordshire Cricket League, their best position being in 1976 and in 2009 when they came second. The club shares their ground with the Blueharts Hockey Club and Hitchin Lacrosse Club. In 1988, the club constructed a second pitch at the ground.

Jordie McKenzie
Jordie McKenzie (born 21 June 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who played for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). In November 2015, he signed with the North Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
# Early life.
McKenzie grew up in the rural Victorian town of Terang. Growing up he supported the West Coast Eagles. McKenzie played for the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup, a team well known for producing many AFL players. He had an injury-interrupted two seasons for the Falcons due to corrective hip surgery, not playing at all in 2007 and playing only 10 games in 2008.
# AFL career.
McKenzie was overlooked | 6,126,921 |
28147360 | Jordie McKenzie | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jordie%20McKenzie | Jordie McKenzie
in the 2008 AFL Draft, but after being invited to train with the Melbourne Football Club for two weeks he was taken by the Demons with the first selection in the 2009 Rookie Draft.
After playing well for the Demons' VFL-affiliate side, the Casey Scorpions, for the first half of the 2009 season, McKenzie was rewarded by being promoted to the club's senior list on 23 July 2009. McKenzie made his debut for Melbourne in round 17, 2009 against the Sydney Swans in Canberra at Manuka Oval. He played two more games for the Demons in 2009, in rounds 21 and 22, with his best game coming against Carlton, when he amassed 16 disposals and laid eight tackles.
During the offseason McKenzie was the subject | 6,126,922 |
28147360 | Jordie McKenzie | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jordie%20McKenzie | Jordie McKenzie
of interest from Adelaide. Adelaide coach Neil Craig offered him a spot on the Crows' senior list, whereas Melbourne could only offer McKenzie a spot on their rookie list, with the chance that he might be promoted to the senior list during the year. McKenzie, however, chose to repay the Demons for the faith they had put in him by recruiting him originally, and he stayed with Melbourne, despite the possibility of reduced opportunities.
The fear that McKenzie would have a lack of opportunities was soon relieved as he was promoted to the senior list prior to the beginning of the 2010 season, due to Max Gawn's long term injury. McKenzie became a mainstay of the Melbourne midfield during the season. | 6,126,923 |
28147360 | Jordie McKenzie | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jordie%20McKenzie | Jordie McKenzie
Along with other young players, such as Jack Watts, Jordan Gysberts and Jack Trengove, he was considered to be the future of the club. McKenzie was noted for his stoppage work, particularly his clearances and tackling ability.
Despite not receiving a Rising Star nomination throughout the year, McKenzie finished the 2010 season by winning Melbourne's Coach's Award. As a reward for his performance during the season, McKenzie was elevated to Melbourne's senior list with the 81st selection in the 2010 AFL Draft.
He was delisted at the conclusion of the 2015 season.

Alfred Harrison
Alfred Henry Harrison (1865 – August 1933) was an English explorer.
# Earlier life.
He was born in 1865 to Daniel Alfred Harrison, of Chase Hill, Enfield Town, and Mary Jane Hardcastle Burder in Islington, Middlesex. He was educated at Stonyhurst College. His father was the eldest son of Daniel Harrison J.P. of Enfield, and his mother daughter of Henry Hardcastle Burder, of Hatcham Park, Surrey. In 1847 Daniel Harrison of Chase Hill was recorded as a director of the Enfield railway.
Harrison's father died while saving his son, in the collision of SS "Cheerful" with HMS "Hecla" off Cornwall, north of the Longships, which took place in 1885. The captain of the "Hecla" was the | 6,126,936 |
28147405 | Alfred Harrison | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred%20Harrison | Alfred Harrison
explorer Albert Hastings Markham, then commanding the training school HMS "Vernon"; the subsequent court-martial decided that the crew of "Hecla" were not guilty of the collision. When Harrison came of age in 1886, he sold much of his grandfather's property to which he was heir.
Harrison's first expedition was to the Canadian Rockies, in 1889. It was followed by a second expedition to the same place a few years later. He then travelled to Northern Africa. A subsequent trip was to hunt, to Slave Lake in Canada. He was elected to the Royal Geographical Society on 22 February 1904.
# British Exploring Expedition, 1905–1907.
Harrison returned to Canada for the British Exploring Expedition. This | 6,126,937 |
28147405 | Alfred Harrison | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred%20Harrison | Alfred Harrison
was a private venture with the intention, if possible, of reaching the North Pole, in 1905. Hubert Darrell acted as assistant; he had been in a previous expedition led by David Hanbury. Ultimately Darrell fell out with Harrison, and left while he was absent.
Harrison's route to the Canadian West Arctic began at Quebec, from where he made his way to Edmonton, by rail and being joined by Darrell. They went up the trail to Athabasca Landing, by wagon. They reached the Great Slave Lake by river, and their scow was towed across it by a steamer. Then in the Northwest Territories they went down the Mackenzie River toward the ocean, to the Arctic Red River, reached in October 1905.
While Harrison | 6,126,938 |
28147405 | Alfred Harrison | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred%20Harrison | Alfred Harrison
made trips to Fort McPherson, the dissatisfied Darrell set off during one of his absences. Harrison then took Herschel Island as a base for exploration in the Beaufort Sea. He put much effort into mapping the Mackenzie delta, in particular the Husky Lakes area, where he wintered. He did not refer to the previous explorations, of James Richardson and the Comte de Sainville.
Harrison's exploration was cut short when a family member became ill, and he left Canada in 1907. In 1909, he argued for a polar sledge expedition, taking the "Jeannette Expedition" of an earlier generation as illustration of the limitations of ship navigation in the Arctic.

Harrison spent 18 months living with the Inuit during this trip, and his book contains information about their customs. It also contains his survey of the Mackenzie delta, with inset maps of Baillie Island and Herschel Island.
One review noted Harrison's thwarted plan to get to Banks Island on a whaler, travel west on sea ice, and explore new ground.
# Family.
Harrison married in 1890 Josephine Waterton, daughter of Edmund Waterton and his wife Josephine Rock. After his death, she married in 1934 Charles Adrian Joseph Langdale.

The Great Merchant
The Great Merchant (; lit. Merchant Kim Man-deok) is a 2010 South Korean historical drama starring Lee Mi-yeon, Han Jae-suk, Park Sol-mi, Ha Seok-jin, and Go Doo-shim. It aired on KBS1 from March 6 to June 13, 2010 on Saturdays and Sundays at 20:40 for 30 episodes.
The series follows the life of Kim Man-deok (1739-1812). Kim was born on Jeju Island. Adopted by the head of a gisaeng house at the age of 12, she became a government gisaeng ― a type of Korean traditional entertainer who is designated and reserved specifically for government officials. After discovering a talent in business and commerce, she later became one of the most successful female merchants on the island.
When | 6,126,941 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
Jeju was struck by a deadly famine in 1795 (the 19th year of King Jeongjo, Kim sold all her assets and donated approximately 90% of her money (approximated to be in today's currency) to save millions of lives. Kim was later praised by numerous scholars and philosophers, which was notable given her background as a gisaeng and the fact that she saved the people of Jeju Island, a place that was considered a place of exile at the time. Kim's heroic deeds were documented in "Jeongjo Sillok" (""The Annals of King Jeongjo"") in 1796, and was even featured as a folktale called "Mandeok-jeon" (""The Story of Man-deok""). In 1978, a memorial was created for Kim Man-deok on Jeju Island, and annually Jeju | 6,126,942 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
Island presents the "Man-deok Award" to two outstanding women in philanthropy.
The drama features Kim's life and achievements, along with her ongoing rivalry with fellow merchants during the Joseon Dynasty.
# Synopsis.
Kim Man-deok was born into the noble class—her mother was a haenyeo of Jeju Island; her father was a high-ranking government official who met Kim's mother during the time he was exiled on Jeju Island. Kim's biological mother, Yi Eun Hong, does not tell her father, Kim Eung Ryul, about her pregnancy, as he and his clan could be punished by execution for inappropriate conduct during his exile. At birth, Kim is named Yi Hong. Her mother dies soon after her birth, leaving her daughter | 6,126,943 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
a flute that would one day help her reconnect to her father.
Kim is adopted by Madame Kim, a former palace lady, but who is known to Kim as "Hal-mae" (translated as "Granny"). Managing a training center in Hanyang for orphaned children, Hal-mae teaches the children marketplace skills and trades necessary for them to become successful in the future. During her time with the training center, Kim meets Jung Hong Soo, the son of high-ranking politician, Lord Jung Do-woong. Ill-fated circumstances causes Granny, Dong Ah, and Kim (who is now 12 years old) to run for their lives, forcing them to leave Hanyang and head to Jeju Island. In the process, they find the need to separate but agree to meet | 6,126,944 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
in Jeju. Kim is the first to arrive on Jeju Island. Dong Ah finds her, but the two are soon in trouble and they find themselves jailed after an altercation with young Kang Yoo-ji, the later Foreman of West Gate Market Brokers. To keep Dong Ah from undergoing torture, Kim is tricked into agreeing to become the foster daughter of the head gisaeng on Jeju Island. Rather than leave Kim, Dong Ah agrees to become her servant and protector.
Seven years later, Hal-mae finally arrives on Jeju Island and is reunited with Kim and Dong Ah. While Hal-mae tries to get Kim removed from the gisaeng registry, she finds that Kim's gisaeng foster mother and the Assistant Magistrate killed Yi Eun Hong, Kim's mother. | 6,126,945 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
To avoid public exposure of their misdeeds, they plot to frame Hal-mae and Kim as if the two were trying to escape the island. Hal-mae learns of the plot and in the process of finding Kim, the two are "caught". Hal-mae is confined in jail, while Kim is sent to the transitory wards (or quarantine camp) for epidemics as punishment. After being rescued from the camp, Kim begins to take care of those in the camp who are suffering from illness. During this time, Kim's father visits the island and discovers the birth of his daughter. Although he cannot publicly acknowledge her as his daughter, he gives her written documentation of her birth registry and bestows upon her the name, Kim Man-deok.
Later, | 6,126,946 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
Kim reestablishes East Gate Market Brokers,going into the business of importing and exporting goods between Jeju Island and the Korean mainland, and begins the process of restoring business ethics in Jeju. Kim's former childhood friend, Oh Moon-seon feels a sense of inferiority and underhandedly competes with her as head of West Gate Market Brokers. Man-deok's high standards and business ethics cause her business to thrive, while Madame Oh's jealousy and resentment of Kim, as well as her greed for wealth and power, eventually lead to her demise.
Transcending her lowly status as a gisaeng, as well as the restraints of her birthplace (Jeju Island was considered to be a remote place of exile during | 6,126,947 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
that time period), Kim Man-deok becomes the most successful female merchant of the Joseon Dynasty and one of the richest people on Jeju Island. A severe famine strikes Jeju Island in 1795, obliterating one-third of its population. Man-deok sells all her assets to help feed the starving people of her island, saving countless lives. In 1796, Kim travels to Hanyang (modern day, Seoul) to meet King Jeongjo, who bestows upon her the honorary title and position, Female Physician of the Palace Dispensary, as reward for her benevolous deeds.

# Episode summaries.
## Episode 15.
Madam Oh Moon-seon tells the abalone divers to leave West Gate Market Brokers and removes Kang Yoo-ji as Foreman. She will give Lord Jung Do-woong 50% of the silk store's income because | 6,126,950 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
they botched up the abalone contract.
Kim Man-deok returns the jade ring, a symbol of friendship, to Moon-seon, saying thought Moon-seon would change from the time she manipulated Hwasoon, Daebang Kang's wife, to get him kicked out.
Jeju island receives news that the tribute ship bound for Hanyang capsized, the goods were buried at sea, and the ship was being repaired at Gangjin, but the whole island will be in trouble if they don't send the goods in time for the royal wedding and the new Queen's coronation. The Magistrate gathers the goods again.
Although West Gate is the only market broker with a ship, Man-deok proposes that East Gate Market Brokers enter the open bidding to win the tribute | 6,126,951 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
goods transport contract and lease a private merchant ship with full disclosure of operating expenses and precise profit sharing.
Yoo-ji plans for the ship he owns to get the contract, so he puts pressure on merchants to not deal with East Gate, which pleases Moon-seon. Having no luck renting a ship, Man-deok hears of a gambling addict, a Captain Hwang, who has lost all ships but one. She rents his ship for 50 nyangs and has him sign a letter of intent; she agrees to give him 200 nyangs for deposit the next day. Hwang's ship is in Haenam and he needs money to bring it to Jeju.
Moon-seon decides to appeal to Lord Jung for help in regaining commercial dominance. The gamblers beat Hwang. Moon-seon | 6,126,952 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
gives them the Man-deok's jade ring to show Man-deok when she comes looking for Hwang.
Jung Hong-soo joins the Board of Punishments as Assistant Section Chief.
The doctor advises Madam Oh that wearing a girdle is making the fetus weak and suggests she stop wearing it, but she is non-committal.
## Episode 16.
Madam Oh Moon-seon tells Kim Man-deok that she bought Captain Hwang's ship. Man-deok threatens to turn Hwang over to the authorities for violating contract. Moon-seon tells Kang Yoo-ji of East Gate Market Brokers' plan to bring back Hwang's ship.
To obtain a ship for sailing to Haenam, Dong-ah promises a merchant that he'll double his offer and use the merchant's ships to transport | 6,126,953 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
tribute goods. At the dock Yoo-ji attacks East Gate's staff and Man-deok discovers that Yoo-ji shoots and arrow into Dong-ah's arm.
Yoo-ji threatens to take the company from Moon-seon not to play him again, as she knew Man-deok would be at the docks when she sent him. He is determined to get Man-deok back and bring down East Gate.
Senior Foreman Go Seok-joo and Granny reprimand Man-deok for sending Dong-ah and Deok-pal to find a ship before consulting the Senior Foreman. He plans to return Hwang's ship lease contract because the bid for the tribute goods transport contract was too difficult for East Gate, on top of the new medical bills.
Man-deok is convinced that East Gate needs the tribute | 6,126,954 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
goods transport contract to build strength and security. She vows to go to Haenam even if no one else will do so, regardless of Granny's warning that she was once framed for trying to leave the island. When Dong-ah hears her commitment and persuades Senior Foreman Go to let the staff go to Haenam.
Junior Foreman Kim Pan-sool reports the plans to Moon-seon, who orders him to make the trip and prevent East Gate from getting the ship. When he discovers that Man-deok has dressed as a sailor, he insists that she travel with the crew composed of Dong-ah, Mangwan, Yoo Bong, Deok-pal, Pan-sool and herself. Moon-seon finds out that Man-deok is on board. Senior Foreman Go and Granny realize that Man-deok | 6,126,955 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
violated her departure prohibition order and make up a ruse that Man-deok is away from the East Gate compound on an errand to collect medicinal herbs.
Chok-sae promises her famous millet wine for buttering up a certain Skipper Jang in Haenam. When the staff of East Gate arrive, the crew refuse to give up the ship because they were not paid by Hwang. Man-deok negotiates the crew's pay out of Hwang's rental fee that would be provided every time Hwang's ship was chosen as the tribute transport vessel if they get the transport contract. Chok-sae's millet wine persuades Jang.
Pan-sool sabotages a ship line, but Dong-ah sees him on board. While sailing back to Jeju, Jang realizes that Man-deok is | 6,126,956 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
a woman pretending to be a sailor. He is angry about the bad luck of having a woman on board. The sabotaged rope gives way and wooden rigging hits Jang on the head. Later Dong-ah catches Pan-sool in saying that the rope snapped, but Pan-sool could not have seen what caused the rigging to fall.
Jang is blinded by the accident, but he still captains the ship to Jeju by letting Man-deok and the East Gate staff be his eyes. Man-deok apologizes for dressing as a sailor and is willing to leave the ship by canoe if her presence still aggravates him.
Knowing that Man-deok is on board, Moon-seon tricks Yoo-ji into asking Assistant Magistrate Choi Nam-gu to inspect the ship immediately upon arrival | 6,126,957 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
in order to reveal Man-deok's attempted escape. As the ship nears Jeju, Dong-ah sees government officials waiting at the dock.
## Episode 17.
Kang Yoo-ji discovers that Assistant Magistrate Choi Nam-gu is not merely inspecting the ship, but searching for Kim Man-deok on board; however, he does not discover her.
Dong-ah tells Granny that Man-deok was left at Woodo. He informs her of his suspicions that Junior Foreman Kim Pan-sool cut the rigging line, but Granny does not want him to suspect someone without proof.
Moon-seon invites Granny to work for West Gate, but Granny refuses. Moon-seon warns that anyone who refuses her will pay dearly for it.
Madam Oh Moon-seon rebukes Pan-sool for his | 6,126,958 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
failure, but he begs for another chance. His next mission is to make Senior Foreman Go Seok-joo turn against Granny and stop listening to her, as she outshines him as the person who makes East Gate Shipping Company successful. Pan-sool tells Senior Foreman Go that people say Granny is more capable than him and reminds him of the way Kang Kye-man was mocked for being in Granny's shadows in Hanyang.
When Granny informs Senior Foreman Go that she made a sale of deer antlers, he says that the product was spoken for by another merchant. She admits her mistake, but he instructs her to confer with him before making decisions in the future. When Pan-sool mentions Moon-seon's talk of Granny as the real | 6,126,959 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
authority of East Gate, Granny advises to not listen to the cunning, manipulative girl.
Pan-sool convinces Senior Foreman Go that East Gate must win the tribute goods transport contract without Granny's help. They want to lower the crew's wages to enter a more competitive bid and still make a profit. The sailors are angry that the company is reneging on the money promised by Man-deok to repay their six months' wages owed by Captain Hwang. When Granny brings food for the crew, a sailor recognizes her from Samgae Docks in Hanyang. Senior Foreman Go admonishes her for not asking permission before preparing food.
The crew threatens Man-deok that they will report her to the authorities for fraud | 6,126,960 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
if she breaks their agreement since the Foremen would forfeit the bid if they refuse to lower their wages. When Man-deok asks Senior Foreman Go to honor her promises made to the crew, she asks for authority to make adjustments that would leave no one short changed, but Senior Foreman Go won't make concessions.
East Gate will bid at 98,000 nyangs. The cost of renting the ship is 37,000 nyangs, equal to the labor cost. The only way to submit a competitive bid is to pay the crew nothing. Granny advises Man-deok to let the Foremen handle the bid.
At the last minute Man-deok suggests an idea to Senior Foreman Go, saying both sides must make concession. He gives her authority to negotiate and requires | 6,126,961 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
her to get everyone's signature in order to bid on the contract. Man-deok asks the ship's crew to become partners with East Gate for the transport contract, which would require three years of their labor, but equal sharing in earnings.
The Magistrate the contract submitted by West Gate Market Brokers and Man-deok's new contract submitted by East Gate. He finds both companies equally qualified and awards the contract with the lowest bid. West Gate bids at 67,000 nyangs, even though it is a 100,000 nyang job, which means they'll get no profits. East Gate bids at 60,000 nyangs and wins the contract. When East Gate is accused by West Gate of fraud, Man-deok reveals that the oarsmen won't be paid | 6,126,962 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
a wage because they are business partners, not hired hands.
Lord Jung Do-woong is humiliated by East Gate winning the contract and finds Moon-seon is of no use to him. Anticipating his rejection, she finds loan shark Mu Maeng-dal who made a loan to Hwang with the new tribute ship as collateral. Under her instruction, Mu goes to East Gate to collect on the money owed by Hwang and offers East Gate to buy the 300,000-nyang ship for 150,000 nyangs to cover the 100,000- nyang loan and 50,000 nyangs interest; he offers to loan money to East Gate. Man-deok realizes that the interest on Hwang's loan is exorbitant. Unbeknownst to East Gate, Moon-seon promises to pay Mu the remaining 150,000 nyangs for | 6,126,963 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant
the ship. Senior Foreman Go agrees to buy the ship, and Granny has Dong-ah follow Mu.
Moon-seon visits Lord Jung to discuss former palace matron Madam Kim who discovered that Lord Jung had tampered with the King's food. Lord Jung thought Kang Kye-man had gotten her killed twenty years ago, but Moon-seon knows that Madam Kim now works for East Gate.
Myo Hyang tells Moon-seon that anyone selling Jeju black cows on the black market will get in big trouble because the black cows are sacred for consumption only by the royal family and the hides are only for use at royal funerals.
## Episode 18.
Madam Oh Moon-seon tells Lord Jung Do-woong that she will plant black cow hid on East Gate Market Brokers' | 6,126,964 |
28147392 | The Great Merchant | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Great%20Merchant | The Great Merchant

Moon-seon tells Kang Yoo-ji to sneak the black cow hide onto East Gate's ship, implicating East Gate Market Brokers but not hurting his "precious Man-deok."

Hong-soo questions why the tribute transport vessel would be used for illegal trade and suspects a conspiracy against the company running the vessel, since the tribute goods transport service is lucrative and the ship was not guarded by state guards. He recommends investigating only the limited people who had resources to acquire the contraband. Inspector Kim vows that the Bureau of Commerce Control will interrogate the smugglers and the attempt against the royal family. Hong-soo suspects his father is involved in assigning Inspector Kim to the investigation.

Man-deok appeals to the Magistrate to stop the torture and investigate because Senior Foreman Go would never get involved in illegal trading and only a few have access to black cows, a rare commodity.

Monica & David
Monica & David is a 2009 documentary by Alexandra Codina. The film focuses on the daily lives of Monica and David, a young married couple with Down syndrome. The film premiered on November 22, 2009 at IDFA and has won "Best Documentary Feature" at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival. "Monica & David" later had a television premiere on HBO on October 14, 2010.
# Synopsis.
The documentary begins with Monica and David talking to each other via the phone a few days before the wedding. They are shown to be eager to wed and live together with Monica's mother Maria Elena and her stepfather Bob. Their wedding is large and beautiful, and the couple exchanges vows before retiring to their | 6,126,972 |
28147505 | Monica & David | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monica%20&%20David | Monica & David
honeymoon suite. Afterwards they leave on their honeymoon, where they are accompanied by Monica's parents. As the documentary progresses Codina shows viewers the couple's large support network, which includes people with and without Down syndrome. It also highlights that while Monica and David are both aware that they have some differences from other people, they view themselves as the same as someone without Downs. Later in the documentary Codina records the couple's move to Hollywood Beach, Florida, as Bob is retiring. The move is initially largely uneventful, although Monica does take some time to adapt. During the footage shot while the move is progressing, we learn that David has been diagnosed | 6,126,973 |
28147505 | Monica & David | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monica%20&%20David | Monica & David
with type 1 diabetes and requires several shots a day to keep his insulin levels under control. Monica details the changes in David's life, which involves a healthier diet as she does not want him to fall into a coma or require hospitalization, which is how the diagnosis was discovered. As the family becomes settled in their new home, David expresses his desire to find work and become more independent. This prompts Maria Elena to reflect on her own protectiveness of Monica and David, as she knows that while she wants to protect them from the world that being overly protective will not benefit them in the long run, especially after she and Bob die. The documentary ends with Monica and David happily | 6,126,974 |

# Production.
Codina, who is Monica's first cousin, was inspired to create the documentary after seeing varied responses to the announcement of David and Monica's wedding from people with and without Downs syndrome. Some viewed the marriage as a "cute gesture between kids" and as Codina saw the ceremony as "something very powerful, very serious and very adult", she hoped that documenting the pair would enable people to see this perspective as well. In order to record footage Codina borrowed a digital video camera | 6,126,975 |
28147505 | Monica & David | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monica%20&%20David | Monica & David
and filmed the couple and their family in the days leading up to the wedding as well as the ceremony itself. Codina recorded 30 hours of wedding related footage in addition to footage that she recorded afterwards between 2007 and 2009. After filming was complete Codina left her job as programmer for the Miami International Film Festival to focus on the production of the documentary. She pitched a nine-minute development trailer to HBO, who decided to support the endeavor.

Glowing Stars
Glowing Stars () is a Swedish film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 30 January 2009, based on the award-winning novel of the same name by author Johanna Thydell.

The film was directed by Lisa Siwe and written by Linn Gottfridsson. It received critical acclaim from critics. The film won several film awards.
# Plot.
Jenna is a girl currently in the seventh grade. Like a normal teenage girl, she worries about her breasts not growing, why she is not as popular as Ullis, and how she can get Sakke to fall in love with her or | 6,126,978 |
28147421 | Glowing Stars | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glowing%20Stars | Glowing Stars
at least notice that she exists. When Jenna's mother is diagnosed with cancer, they are forced to move to Jenna's grandmother, who Jenna finds annoying. Jenna's grandmother lives next door to Ullis, who is living with her alcoholic mother. A friendship begins to grow between Jenna and Ullis after they realize that they both have struggling mothers. Eventually, Jenna's mother passes away at the hospital.
The film deals with the difficulty of losing a loved one to death. But it is also a film about friendship, identity, and survival.

# Production.
The film was directed by Lisa Siwe and written by Linn Gottfridsson. It was their feature-length film debut, and they worked closely together as a team on the film. They told the newspaper "Gotlands Allehanda" that they complement each other well; Siwe "has strong ideas" while Gottfridsson "is really good at psychology". They also explained that they met "thanks to a teacher at Dramatiska Institutet, who brought us together. It was a lucky match. We like the same type of films and we want to tell the same type of stories."
Siwe began reading the 2003 | 6,126,980 |
28147421 | Glowing Stars | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glowing%20Stars | Glowing Stars
novel "I taket lyser stjärnorna" by Johanna Thydell late at night one day and she could not put it away until she had read the whole book. "I cried and cried and if my husband had not laid beside me I would have shrieked right out," she told "Dagens Nyheter". After finishing the novel, Siwe received the idea to adapt it into a film together with Gottfridsson. Once they acquired the rights from the author they began planning the film. "First, Linn and I talked together on what we wanted to keep [from the novel]. The book cannot be translated into film. We have great respect for the book and the film must stand on its own legs. And even if we have [made changes to the story], we have stayed faithful | 6,126,981 |
28147421 | Glowing Stars | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glowing%20Stars | Glowing Stars
to the essence," Siwe said.
Josephine Mattson was cast in the lead role of Jenna and it became her acting debut. Siwe searched a long time for an actor to play the role, and she was not pleased until she found Mattson. She explains that the reason for that is that Mattson was a regular girl and not an "actor-wannabe". The film was shot in Trollhättan and Vänersborg. Filming began in June 2008. According to Siwe, the hospital scenes largely affected the film team emotionally, and a lot of crew members were crying during the filming.
The pre-production, production, and post-production of "Glowing Stars" lasted for five years. After the film was completed, Siwe told "Norrköpings Tidningar" that | 6,126,982 |
28147421 | Glowing Stars | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glowing%20Stars | Glowing Stars
"I am proud of the acting, the manuscript, the photography — and that I was able to make the film. It has been a heavy ride. But I didn't feel that until afterwards." She also commented on the writing process: "I didn't want to stop until I had a really good manuscript because I felt such strong respect for Johanna and her book. Johanna has never said that she wrote a children's book, and adults can also read it with great enjoyment. I want to achieve the same thing with the film."
# Reception.
The world premiere of "Glowing Stars" occurred at the 2009 Gothenburg Film Festival, and the film was met with much praise from critics. The acclaim continued after it was released in theaters. Christer | 6,126,983 |

Uggeldahl of "Hufvudstadsbladet" gave the film four out of five stars, praising the director and the cast. He wrote that the actors are "as bold as they are skillful", and added that, because of her feeling for nuances, it is hard to tell that this is Siwe's directing debut. "Here we have a director who knows a girl's room inside and out and who knows how to switch between images and words, between the quietness and the pop soundtrack." Åsa Johansson of Dalarnas Tidningar also praised the film, commenting that the "fantastically well-written dialog" and the debuting actors brought the characters to life. She added that the film made her cry, in part because Josefine Mattsson was able to make | 6,126,984 |

Jenna's frustration seem so complex.
"Glowing Stars" won the "Film of the Year" award at the Gothenburg Film Festival, with the 50,000 Swedish kronor prize money going to Siwe. The winner is decided by the audience members of the festival. The two other films nominated in the category were "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Prinsessa". "Glowing Stars" was also nominated for "Best Picture" at the Guldbagge Awards. This award, however, is given by a jury and not regular people as with the Gothenburg Film Festival. The film lost to "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Siwe, however, won the Guldbagge Award for "Best Director", and Anki Lidén (Jenna's grandmother) was awarded with "Best Actress | 6,126,985 |

Ipomadon
The Anglo-Norman romance "Ipomedon" by Hue de Rotelande, composed near Hereford around 1180, survives in three separate Middle English versions, a long poem Ipomadon composed in tail-rhyme verse, possibly in the last decade of the fourteenth century, a shorter poem "The Lyfe of Ipomydon", dating to the fifteenth century and a prose version, "Ipomedon", also of the fifteenth century. In each case, the story is taken independently from the Anglo-Norman romance "Ipomedon", written in Old French by Hue de Rotelande "not long after 1180", possibly in Herefordshire, England. It is included in a list of the popular English romances by Richard Hyrde in the 1520s.
The earliest Middle English | 6,126,995 |
28147407 | Ipomadon | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ipomadon | Ipomadon
version is found uniquely in MS Chetham 8009 (Manchester), probably composed in West Yorkshire in the north of England. The tale of "Ipomadon" is "packed with elaborate description and detail" and follows the adventures of a young knight, Ipomadon, who has a passion for hunting and who chooses to hide his identity from the lady he loves for much of the romance, culminating at the end of the tale in a scene where the hero, having defeated a knight in battle, then claims for a while to be the very knight he has defeated.
# Manuscripts and printed versions.
"Ipomedon" in Middle English is found in three versions, all of them probably deriving independently from the late-twelfth century Anglo-Norman | 6,126,996 |
28147407 | Ipomadon | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ipomadon | Ipomadon
original.
The earliest of these surviving versions in Middle English is Ipomadon and occurs in the manuscript Chetham 8009 (Manchester), which contains a unique copy of an 8,891-line tail-rhyme romance, dating in composition to "anywhere between the last decade of the fourteenth century and the middle of the fifteenth century" This version of the tale follows Hue de Rotelande's story quite closely, although abridging it somewhat by cutting battle details and most of Hue's rather coarse or prosaic narrative intrusions. Composed in a dialect that suggests that it was originally written by a West Yorkshireman in his native West Yorkshire, in the north of England, the manuscript copy itself dates | 6,126,997 |
28147407 | Ipomadon | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ipomadon | Ipomadon
to the late-fifteenth century, is from a London Scriptorium and contains clues that the work from which this copy was taken had itself been re-copied, somewhere down the line, in the southwest of England.
The insistence of the hero Ipomadon, in this Middle English version, to conceal his identity from his lady love, even when he has won her fairly and unambiguously whilst fighting in disguise, at a tournament that has been put on especially for the purpose of selecting a husband for this young queen whom he loves, is treated slightly differently from its source. The anonymous author of this Middle English poem chooses to try to rationalise this behaviour, where the original author Hue de Rotelande | 6,126,998 |
28147407 | Ipomadon | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ipomadon | Ipomadon
is happy to point to its irrationality. However, the "lack of motivation for the hero's deception and delay does not detract significantly from the poem."
A fifteenth century, 2,346-line couplet version of the tale, called "The Lyfe of Ipomydon", is found in MS Harley 2252 and also in two printed copies by Wynkyn de Worde, one of them incomplete. Studies of this version, as well as the tail-rhyme romance in MS Chetham 8009 (Manchester), suggest that these poems may have been composed principally for reading aloud to an assembled audience, rather than solely for private reading.
There is also a Middle English prose version of "Ipomedon", dating to the fifteenth century and found (incomplete) | 6,126,999 |
