Kari kapitan, or Captain's chicken curry, is a classic Nyonya dish. It is normally a richer, drier, and thicker version of the standard local chicken curry, with each household having its own family recipe.
The origins of the name of the dish, Kari kapitan, are much debated. One popular suggestion is that a ship's captain during the colonial period in Penang asked his cook what was being prepared for dinner, to which the cook responded: 'Kari, kapitan!'. Nonetheless, the title 'kapitan' was first introduced during the 16th century by the Portuguese and was used to indicate a local leader, without any specifically nautical connotation.

Ask price, also called offer price, offer, asking price, or simply ask, is the price a seller states they will accept.
The seller may qualify the stated asking price as firm or negotiable. Firm means the seller is implying that the price is fixed and will not change.
In bid and ask, the term ask price is used in contrast to the term bid price. The difference between the bid price and the ask price is called the spread.
Stock exchange
In the context of stock trading on a stock exchange, the ask price is the lowest price a seller of a stock is willing to accept for a share of that given stock. For over-the-counter stocks, the asking price is the best quoted price at which a market maker is willing to sell a stock.
Mutual funds
For mutual funds, the asking price is the net asset value plus any sales charges. It is also called asked price or offering price or ask.
Commodities
The ask price is the lowest price a seller of a commodity is willing to accept for that commodity.
Auctions
In auctions the ask price is the reservation price. Some auctions may not have such a price. This price is the minimum that the seller will agree to for the object being sold.

D'Orbigny's slider or the black-bellied slider (Trachemys dorbigni), commonly known in Brazil as tartaruga-tigre or tartaruga-tigre-d'água (which mean "tiger turtle" and "water tiger turtle" in Portuguese), is a species of water turtle in the family Emydidae. The species is found in southern Brazil, northeastern Argentina, and Uruguay. Two subspecies (in addition to the nominate subspecies) are recognized as being valid, Trachemys dorbigni adiutrix and Trachemys dorbigni brasiliensis.
Etymology
The specific name, dorbigni, is in honor of French naturalist Alcide d'Orbigny.
Description
The form of the plastron determines its gender. After a few years of life, show differences between male and female. Males have a penis that is inserted into the tail. It becomes apparent only during the mating season when it is inserted into the female's cloaca. D'Orbigny's slider has a life span between 30 to 100 years in captivity.
They are usually found in water bodies such as lakes, marshes, streams and rivers. They have a preference for waters with low or moderate currents, soft bottoms and abundant aquatic vegetation.
Babies are born weighing with a carapace. The average growth rate is about per year on wild, but in captivity it can grow faster being able to grow over in a year. The females can grow up to carapace and weight over , while the male can only grow carapace. When the males reach sexual maturity (after 2 years), they acquire a dark color while the females keep the same green after maturity (at 5 years).
Sexual dimorphism
The sex identification is only possible when adult, at 5 or 6 years. The female is bigger and may reach in length and has the bottom of the shell (plastron) slightly convex so as to provide more space for eggs. The male reaches to and has a longer and bulky tail, furthermore, the male bottom of the shell is straight or slightly concave to fit better upon females.
The male's cloaca is located 2/3 the distance between the tail beginning and the shell, while the female is very close to the shell.
Reproduction
Females produce an average of 10 eggs per buried nest; usually they bury two nests per season. Incubation ranges from 2 to 4 months. The eggs are laid under approximately of sand. The eggs are white-colored. Each egg on average measures in length and in width, weighing on average .
Only 31% of the female population lays egg each year.
The sex of baby turtles is determined by the temperature of the sand during incubation, lower temperatures increase the number of females.
Diseases
The turtles are susceptible to diseases such as pneumonia, dystocia, bone decalcification, vitamin deficiency, gastroenteritis, and prolapses.
Pet owners must avoid using small objects as decoration in their tank, because they tend to eat everything they can. Such small objects, such as pebbles and plastic decorations, may lead to gut impaction, which is very likely to require surgical intervention.
Despite being very hardy, they may have rachitis, a disease that makes the shell soft due to protein deficiency. It may be corrected by adding protein to meals, especially through fish.
Placing turtles in abrasive surfaces can also cause plastron injuries, which provide an entrance point to fungi and bacteria.
Allowing the animal to maintain its temperature around an optimal point (between 28 and 34 degrees Celsius) is a necessity. Providing the turtles with daily sun light or special UV light so that they can properly metabolize vitamin D will avoid metabolic issues.
Diet
These omnivorous turtles can eat almost anything in nature shrimps, vegetables, fruit, carrion, small fishes, snails, worms, etc.
During the first two years of life these turtles are mainly carnivorous, eating small animals and carrion, but then they switch to being mainly vegetarian eating more vegetables and algae then meat.
Diet in captivity
For pet keepers it is recommended that you feed them more than once every day in the first two-years, then shift to feeding once every two days.
Protection
Brazil
This species can be owned only with specific documentation. The purchase invoice must contain the popular and scientific name, and designate the number of animals. Also required is a certificate of origin, invoice number and the number of commercial breeding of wildlife as recorded in the Brazilian IBAMA.
It is forbidden to release the animals in nature and is subject to the penalties provided in the law No. 6.938/81 and No. 9.605/98.
If the owner can no longer keep it, the store that made the sale is obliged to take the animal back, the animal will be shipped back to the only farm allowed to breed them in Brazil.
Uruguay
In Uruguay turtles can only be owned with specific documentation and as they are a protected species commercialization is forbidden.

The mixed doubles was a tennis event held as part of the Tennis at the 1920 Summer Olympics programme. It was the third appearance of the event. A total of 32 players (16 pairs) from 7 nations competed in the event, which was held from 17 to 24 August 1920 at the Beerschot Tennis Club. French pair Suzanne Lenglen and Max Decugis took gold, with British players Kathleen McKane Godfree and Max Woosnam earning silver and Czechoslovakia's Milada Skrbková and Ladislav Žemla winning bronze. It was the first victory for France in the event; Czechoslovakia earned its first mixed doubles medal in its event debut.
Background
This was the third appearance of mixed doubles tennis. The event was first held in 1900 and would not be held again until 1912 (when both outdoor and indoor versions were held); it would then be held the next two Games in 1920 and 1924. Tennis was not a medal sport from 1928 to 1984, though there were demonstration events in 1968 (which included mixed doubles) and 1984 (which did not). Mixed doubles did not return with the rest of the tennis programme in 1988; instead, it was not until 2012 that mixed doubles returned to the programme, where it has been since.
Suzanne Lenglen and Max Decugis had won the last French Championship before World War I (in 1914) and the first French Championship after the war (in 1920). Decugis had won multiple mixed doubles titles with other partners previously.
Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, and Italy each made their mixed doubles debut. France competed for the third time, the only nation to have competed at each previous edition.
Competition format
The competition was a single-elimination tournament with a bronze-medal match. All matches were best-of-three sets.

Manuelia is a genus of bees in the subfamily Xylocopinae, the only genus in the tribe Manueliini. There are three species.
This tribe is relictual. Today it is limited to Chile and Argentina.
These are small, slender bees measuring up to 8.5 millimeters long. They may be metallic blue or matte black, sometimes with reddish parts on the abdomen. Because Manuelia species are so distinct from each other, the genus is divided into two subgenera.

A gag-a-day comic strip is the style of writing comic cartoons such that every installment of a strip delivers a complete joke or some other kind of artistic statement. It is opposed to story or continuity strips, which rely on the development of a story line across a sequence of the installments. Most syndicated comics are of this type. Another term for this distinction is non-serial (gag-a-day) vs. serial strips.
Compared to single-panel cartoons ("gag panels"), gag-a-day comic strips can deliver a better timing for the narrative of a joke.
The distinction between continuity and gag-a-day strip may be blurred: a continuous story may still be delivered in the gag-a-day format. In fact, Lynn Johnston recommends it for story strips, to keep the readership and engage new audience which may be not very familiar with the background of the story.

BBC News is de merknaam van de journalistieke programma's van de radio- en televisiezenders van de BBC. Het is hiermee een van haar grootste afdelingen. BBC News verzorgt naast bulletins op BBC One ook andere programma's op andere BBC-zenders en heeft daarnaast twee eigen tv-stations: BBC World News en het BBC News Channel. De bulletins op BBC One en BBC World zijn in Nederland en België via de kabel te ontvangen. Daarnaast is BBC News verantwoordelijk voor de nieuws-output op BBC-radiozenders en op de website van de BBC.
Programma's
BBC News produceert een brede waaier aan programma's voor radio en tv, waarvan het "BBC News" op BBC One waarschijnlijk het bekendste en meest transparante is. Voorts komen ook BBC Breakfast (BBC One), Newsnight (BBC Two), The Andrew Marr Show (BBC One), Hardtalk (BBC News en BBC World News) en Fastrack (BBC News 24 en BBC World) van BBC News, naast nog andere programma's. Het belangrijkste radioprogramma van BBC News is Radio 1 Newsbeat.
Nieuwsbulletins op BBC One
Tussen 2 mei 2006 en maart 2013 kwam een groot deel van de uitzendingen van BBC News uit een grote nieuwe studio in het Television Centre in Londen. De studio bestond uit grote Barco-schermen die bij ieder programma een ander decor toonden. Sinds maart 2013 huist de BBC in het New Broadcasting House (N.B.H) in West-Londen.
Gedurende de dag zijn er korte nieuwsupdates. Die zijn niet terug te vinden in de tv-gidsen, alleen het middagbulletin van 15:20 uur (Britse tijd) wordt soms aangeduid. Er zijn langere nieuwsuitzendingen om 13:00 uur, 18:00 uur en 22:00 uur.
News at One
Het eenuurjournaal van de BBC wordt van maandag tot donderdag gepresenteerd door Sophie Raworth en op vrijdag door Kate Silverton of Jane Hill. Het programma duurt ongeveer een half uur. De uitzending begint met de headlines en meestal worden die aangekondigd met "Good afternoon, the headlines this lunchtime". Er zit ook een aankondiging van het regionale nieuws. In Nederland en België is dit de facto het nieuws van BBC London. Het regionale nieuws volgt aansluitend op het journaal. Aan het einde van het bulletin is er een weerbericht vanuit de nieuwsstudio.
Het toenmalige 1 O'Clock News werd voor het eerst uitgezonden op 27 oktober 1986 en verving het gelijkwaardige "News after noon" (met Richard Whitmore en Moira Stuart) dat altijd om 12.30 uur werd uitgezonden. Martyn Lewis, afkomstig van ITN, was de eerste "anchor" en werd later opgevolgd door Michael Buerk, die toen als correspondent uit Zuid-Afrika terugkeerde in de presentatie-rol. De introductie van de One O'Clock News viel samen met de introductie van dagprogrammatie op BBC1 en BBC2 en had toen een hele eigen identiteit. Sinds 1993 hebben alle nieuwsbulletins een gelijkaardig decor. Het achtergronddecor van News at One was lange tijd een skyline van Londen in een lichtblauwe kleur. Nu is op de achtergrond de redactie te zien.
News at Six
Om 18:00 uur wordt het best bekeken nieuwsbulletin van Groot-Brittannië uitgezonden. Het wordt van maandag tot donderdag gepresenteerd door George Alagiah en door Fiona Bruce op vrijdag. Sinds Natasha Kaplinsky is vertrokken naar Five News van Channel Five wordt het bulletin door één presentator gepresenteerd. De opzet van dit bulletin lijkt op die van News at One. De focus ligt echter op binnenlands nieuws en dit wordt gekenmerkt door "Special Reports" vanuit het land. Ook in dit bulletin zit een weerbericht vanuit de nieuwsstudio. Om 18:30 uur wordt het programma overgedragen aan de regio's, wat betekent dat in Nederland en België dan het vlaggenschip van BBC London News te zien is, gepresenteerd door Riz Lateef. Na het regionale nieuws wordt er nog een keer teruggekeerd naar de grote nieuwsstudio voor een samenvatting van het nationale nieuws.
Het News at Six, toen nog het 6 O'Clock News genoemd, ontstond in 1984 als opvolger van het impopulaire BBC Sixty Minutes dat nog geen jaar stand hield. Het schreef geschiedenis door de uitzending die Bob Geldof inspireerde om Band Aid op te richten. Ook het decor van het News at Six toonde lang een skyline van Londen. Alleen de blauwe kleur was een aantal tinten donkerder. Gedurende de zomertijd wordt het bulletin uitgezonden als het buiten nog licht is en dan was de blauwe kleur weer lichter dan gedurende de wintertijd. Ook bij deze uitzending is tegenwoordig op de achtergrond de redactie te zien.
News at Ten
Huw Edwards, hoofdanker van BBC News, presenteert om 22:00 uur (Britse tijd) "The Ten". Dit programma is het vlaggenschip van BBC News en focust op buitenlands nieuws en het belangrijkste nieuws van de dag. Verslaggevers die gedurende de dag op locatie hebben gewerkt, worden door Edwards in de studio aan de tand gevoeld. Edwards wordt op vrijdag vervangen door Fiona Bruce. Er is geen weerbericht vanuit de nieuwsstudio. Aansluitend op het bulletin is er een uitgebreid weerbericht. Er is een ongeveer tien minuten durend bulletin met regionaal nieuws. Buiten het Verenigd Koninkrijk wordt dan het BBC London News uitgezonden.
News at Ten is sinds 2002 de opvolger van het 9 O'Clock News, nadat dit laatste programma op controversiële wijze een uur werd verschoven. Op die manier kon de BBC meer drama en comedy op prime time uitzenden. Ook was het zo dat ITV haar "ITN News at Ten" had opgeheven, zodat de BBC ook op ITV-kijkers kon rekenen.
Weekends en feestdagen
Traditioneel heeft de BBC op weekends en feestdagen een geheel andere programmering en is er minder plaats voor nieuws. Derhalve worden de bulletins verkort en worden ze op andere tijden uitgezonden. Deze bulletins worden meestal gepresenteerd door Mishal Hussain of Kate Silverton, of een van de presentatoren van het BBC News Channel, het kanaal van de BBC dat de klok rond nieuws uitzendt.
Leader en muzikaal thema
BBC News heeft een herkenbare leader die al sinds jaar en dag te horen is. De muziek werd gecomponeerd door David Lowe. Tijdens de grote nieuwsuitzendingen op BBC One verschijnt de tijd van de uitzending in de leader, waarna via de redactie naar de studio gezoomd wordt. Tijdens kortere nieuwuitzendingen en op BBC News Channel en BBC World News is de leader iets korter en wordt geen tijd getoond, ook wordt er dan niet op de redactie ingezoomd. Bij die uitzendingen is er wel een zogenoemde 'Countdown', daarin wordt afgeteld naar het begin van het nieuwsbulletin en zijn correspondenten van over de hele wereld te zien.
BBC World News
De programmering op BBC World News (voor 21 april 2008: BBC World) wordt volledig verzorgd door BBC News. Het kanaal is in zijn huidige vorm ontstaan in 1996, voordien zond het alleen nieuwsbulletins uit en daarvoor deelde het haar programmering met het huidige BBC Prime.
Nieuwsbulletins op BBC World News
Ieder uur is er een nieuwsbulletin op BBC World News dat gebracht wordt vanuit de BBC World News-studio in Londen in het New Broadcasting House. Deze bulletins worden door een groot carrousel van presentatoren gepresenteerd, ieder op zijn vaste uitzendtijden. Ze duren meestal een half uur, maar worden gedurende de uitzending een of twee keer onderbroken voor een reclameblok. Er zijn ook bulletins die maar 10 minuten duren. In de langere bulletins zit soms een blokje met sportnieuws, door een aparte presentator en soms een blokje met economisch nieuws, ook door een aparte presentator. De muziek en leader lijken sterk op die van het BBC News op BBC One, maar verschillen subtiel van elkaar.

Lewisham Priory was a Benedictine monastic house in Lewisham, Kent (now London), England.
In 918 Elftrudis otherwise Ælfthryth, countess of Flanders, granted Lewisham, Greenwich and Woolwich, to St Peter's Abbey in Ghent. The priory, a dependency of St. Peter's Abbey and thus an alien priory, was founded in the same year.
The priory was dissolved and its possessions confiscated, like all alien priories, under the Act of 1414 by Henry V, who re-granted them to his new foundation, the Carthusian monastery Sheen Priory in Surrey.
The location of the medieval Lewisham Priory is unknown but has been suggested to be either next to St Mary's church, at Priory Farm (around the Catford section of the South Circular), or on the High Street where the 17th-century mansion of the same name was later built (now Albacore Crescent south of the hospital).

Attempts to form a government in Spain followed the Spanish general election of 28 April 2019, which failed to deliver an overall majority for any political party. As a result, the previous cabinet headed by Pedro Sánchez was formed to remain in a caretaker capacity until the election of a new government.
Despite the April 2019 election delivering a clear plurality for left-of-centre parties, with the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and Unidas Podemos being able to command a majority together with regionalist and nationalist parties, negotiations were frustrated as a result of conflicting positions between the two parties on the future government's composition. Both parties' opposite stances saw Pedro Sánchez trying and failing to pass an investiture vote on 23–25 July. Subsequently, a political impasse set in as King Felipe VI could not find a new candidate to nominate with sufficient parliamentary support. As a result, a snap election was held on 10 November.
The second election delivered a diminished plurality for PSOE and Unidas Podemos, which ended up accepting their shared responsibility and agreed on a joint government two days after the vote. A new investiture attempt on 5–7 January 2020 saw Sánchez re-elected as prime minister after days without an operational government, which would see the formation of the first nationwide coalition cabinet in Spain since the Second Spanish Republic.
Legal provisions
The procedure for government formation in Spain was outlined in Article 99 of the 1978 Constitution:
First formation round (April–September 2019)
Post-April 2019 election developments
Election aftermath
While the April 2019 general election produced a hung parliament, the resulting parliamentary arithmetics coupled with the scale of the People's Party (PP) collapse ensured that incumbent Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) was the only party that could realistically form a government. The outgoing government had been a PSOE minority cabinet with the external support of Unidas Podemos—the electoral alliance of Pablo Iglesias's Podemos, United Left (IU), En Comú Podem, Equo and other minor left-wing parties—as well as case-by-case support from the smaller regional and nationalist parties; after the election such a scheme could count with the 165 seats garnered by both PSOE and Unidas Podemos, but was hampered by the former's reluctance to reach any deal with Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), which, together with Together for Catalonia (JxCat), had triggered the April 2019 election in the first place by siding with right-of-centre parties to reject Sánchez's 2019 General State Budget. Another possibility was an alliance between the PSOE and the liberal Citizens (Cs) party of Albert Rivera, together commanding an overall majority of 180 seats in the Congress of Deputies, but animosity among grassroot PSOE supporters to such deal (well represented by chants of "Not with Rivera!" during the party's victory celebrations), as well as Rivera's own pre-election veto to any sort of agreement with Sánchez, meant that such a scenario was unlikely.
Both Cs and PP leader Pablo Casado—who described his party's dismal performance as "very bad" but rejected to resign from his post—vyed for the leadership of the opposition to Sánchez's government, with far-right Vox having entered parliament for the first time. As a result of the election, the Spanish right was fragmented into three slices which, even taking regional allies such as Navarrese People's Union (UPN) into account, could only muster 149 seats, far from any prospective shot at forming a government. Rivera quickly rejected any chance of agreement with the PSOE, pointing out that "Sánchez and Iglesias are going to govern with the nationalists", despite attempts from both PSOE and PP to court the party into abstaining in order to allow the investiture process to proceed.
On 1 May, Sánchez arranged meetings with Casado, Rivera and Iglesias within the following days at Moncloa Palace in order to evaluate the post-election situation and probe their parties' stances towards his investiture, with the PSOE's aim being to renew their minority government and sustain it through stable parliamentary agreements with other parties, which would include Unidas Podemos and regionalists as well as peripheral nationalists. Iglesias, who claimed of having learned of such arrangements throughout the media, demanded as a prerequisite for supporting Sánchez's investiture that a coalition be formed between their two parties, calling for not taking for granted Unidas Podemos's support if such a condition was not met. Nonetheless, following the meetings on 6 and 7 May, and both Casado and Rivera confirming their negative stance to Sánchez's election, Iglesias came out positively that both him and Sánchez had "agreed to work in reaching an agreement". It was commented that Sánchez expected for a new government to be up and running by 20 June, but acknowledged that negotiations and the investiture vote itself would be delayed as a result of the ongoing campaign for the 26 May local, regional and European Parliament elections.
Initial approachments
The sympathetic attitude between PSOE and Unidas Podemos was first put to test in the negotiations for the Congress of Deputies Bureau on 21 May, which saw Territorial Policy minister Meritxell Batet becoming new president of the chamber as well as both parties securing a majority of the nine posts at stake, with the PSOE secured three and Unidas Podemos the remaining two.
Aside of PSOE and Unidas Podemos, various regionalist parties also supported Batet and other PSOE members to the Congress Bureau: the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV), Canarian Coalition (CCa), Commitment Coalition (Compromís) and the Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC), for a total of 175 supportive votes—one short of an overall majority—whereas ERC and EH Bildu cast invalid ballots including the word Llibertat (Catalan for "freedom") in protest for the jailing of several pro-Catalan independence leaders within the context of the judicial process investigating the events surrounding the failed 2017 referendum.
The 26 May elections saw the PSOE securing substantial wins and a number of territorial gains, whereas support for Unidas Podemos-supported candidacies plummeted. This prompted the PSOE to feel strengthened in the government formation negotiations and to ask Iglesias to reconsider his demands for a coalition, with Sánchez proposing a single-party cabinet that incorporated "renowned independents who may be well regarded by progressives", which could see the appointment of Unidas Podemos-proposed members beyond the coalition formula. While the incorporation of Podemos into the government had been generally seen as feasible after the 7 May Sánchez–Iglesias meeting, Iglesias acknowledged that his negotiating position had been weakened by his party's results in the local, regional and European Parliament elections, but insisted on his demand for entering the cabinet nonetheless. Concurrently, the PSOE attempted to pressure Cs into abstaining to ease Sánchez's election in an investiture vote, but this was met with a new rejection from Rivera's party.
Candidate Pedro Sánchez (PSOE): first attempt
June developments
Following the 26 May elections, King Felipe VI held a round of talks with the various parties with parliamentary representation in the Congress of Deputies which saw Pedro Sánchez being formally nominated as prime ministerial candidate on 6 June, which he accepted. Sánchez stressed that there was no alternative to his government and asked PP, Cs and Unidas Podemos for "high-mindedness" and "responsibility" to let him govern. By this point, conversations with other political parties had not seen any advance: CCa had already rejected supporting Sánchez if it meant either a coalition or a programmatic agreement with Podemos, UPN was willing to allow Sánchez's investiture only if he pressured his party's regional branch in Navarre to allow a UPN-led regional cabinet following the 2019 Navarrese election, whereas the position of pro-independence parties—namely, ERC, JxCat and EH Bildu—was dependant on Sánchez's stance towards their jailed leaders. An agreement was quickly reached with the Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC), which pledged its support to Sánchez's investiture in exchange for the PSOE renewing its support for Miguel Ángel Revilla as Cantabrian president following the 2019 regional election.
On 11 June, Sánchez met again with the leaders of PP, Cs and Unidas Podemos, this time in the building of the Congress of Deputies, in a move that signaled the formal start of negotiations days after the general election. Both Sánchez and Iglesias emerged from the meeting agreeing to explore the formation of a "government of cooperation", a semantic point that was widely commented in the media because it explicitly excluded the use of the word "coalition", as well as because both leaders committed to such an "innovative" formula without resolving the main friction point between them, namely the entry of Unidas Podemos into the government or its right to appoint cabinet ministers. Soon, both parties clashed on the interpretation of this meeting's conclusions: for Unidas Podemos, what was agreed was to negotiate on the basis of a "plural" and "joint government" that did not exclude an eventual coalition; for the PSOE, it was a government that was "plural, open, inclusive and representative of various sensitivities", but that was to remain a Socialist-only executive with a number of independents that could be agreed with Podemos. PP leader Pablo Casado mocked the "cooperation government" term as "a new parliamentary and administrative kind." A new and discreet Sánchez–Iglesias summit on 17 June saw no advances or specific commitments, but rather "generic exchanges", an offer by the PSOE to award Unidas Podemos "intermediate posts" in the government structure outside the Council of Ministers—which was rejected by the latter—and the finding that the two parties' positions were "very far apart" because of the way in which each group understood the "cooperation".
On 24 June, in advance of a new meeting between Sánchez and Iglesias scheduled for the next day, it transcended that Sánchez had secretly met Casado at Moncloa earlier that day in an attempt to secure his party's abstention in his investiture, but this was met with Casado's negative; Rivera had also been invited to the meeting, amidst growing internal voices within Cs that called for at least considering to enter negotiations with the PSOE, but he refused to attend outright. In the wake of this event and following the meeting between their leaders—the fourth since the April 2019 election—Podemos accused Sánchez of having told Iglesias that he "preferred the right's support or going to a failed investiture without negotiating anything", a statement which was promptly denied by PSOE deputy secretary-general Adriana Lastra, who replied by accusing Iglesias of paving the ground for "voting against a left-wing prime minister"; both parties also hinted at each other's performance during the failed 2015–2016 government formation negotiations, which led to the June 2016 snap election. Finance minister María Jesús Montero warned Podemos that there would not be new opportunities should Sánchez's investiture—scheduled for July—failed, hinting at the possibility of a snap election being needed to unlock the situation, though this heavy-handed tone was brought down by the government the next day.
Rushed negotiations
On 3 July, Pablo Iglesias published a column in La Vanguardia newspaper in which he undertook to review his position for a coalition by September if Sánchez attempted—and failed—to get this proposal succeed in an investiture vote in July. The previous day, Sánchez had agreed with Congress speaker Meritxell Batet to schedule the start of the investiture plenary for 22 July, with successive votings on 23 July and, should a second round be needed, 25 July, despite not having secured the support of any other political group for his election. The next day, Sánchez offered Iglesias to designate a number of "renowned independents" to be appointed as ministers, and on 8 July the PSOE appointed a negotiating team to address programmatic contents with Unidas Podemos on the basis of a base document synthesizying the key elements of the Socialist electoral manifesto: employment and pensions; feminism and fight against social inequality; climate emergency and ecological transition; technological advance and digital transition; and Spain's position in Europe. The document left the issue of the Catalan crisis out of the paper, as it was one of the main friction programmatic points between the two parties.
On 9 July, a fifth meeting between Sánchez and Iglesias foundered, allegedly because Iglesias rejected making any sensible additions to the PSOE programmatic proposal and pressed for cabinet posts and the office of deputy prime minister for himself—according to PSOE sources—a claim which Unidas Podemos denied. On 11 July, Sánchez offered Unidas Podemos the right of appointing cabinet ministers on the condition that they had a more "technical profile", which was regarded by Iglesias as a "veto" to the main leaders of his alliance—including himself—and the proposal was rejected. The next day, Podemos announced that it would hold a vote among party members on 18 July, to decide what its stance should be on Sánchez's investiture under such circumstances, in which almost 70% of voters chose against a single-party PSOE government and in favour of a coalition with Podemos in order for the party to support the investiture.
Even before the Podemos vote was held, Sánchez dubbed it as a "masquerade" aimed at justifying opposing his investiture as well as a deliberate and one-sided break of negotiations, while accusing Iglesias of being entrenched in a "maximalist position"; he also stated that his offer for accepting Unidas Podemos members of technical profile into his government was to be considered as declined, and that in no case would he intend to improve on it. Further, he claimed that he would not "accept impositions" and vindicating for himself "the ability to decide who will join [his] government." On the next day, Iglesias replied to Sánchez by demanding his right to enter the cabinet, under the pretense that "Sánchez has never told me that I can't be there".
After several days of back-and-forth declarations, Sánchez revealed that the main obstacles in the negotiations were Iglesias's demands for a deputy prime ministership in control of the "social" areas of the government, the ministries of Finance, Labour and the Social Security as well as the responsibilities for government communication; demands that, ultimately, singled out Iglesias as the main impediment for a coalition between PSOE and Unidas Podemos. In response, on 19 July, Pablo Iglesias announced that he would renounce to become cabinet minister "as long as there are no more vetoes and the presence of Unidas Podemos in the government is proportional to its votes", while emphasizing that it was up to his party to choose the members that would be part of any coalition government. Sánchez and the PSOE replied by welcoming this predisposition, but stressed that negotiations should begin on the contents and the programmatic measures and that only then would the government composition be decided. Both PSOE and Unidas Podemos started negotiations against the clock, with only three days to go ahead of the start of Sánchez's investiture debate on 22 July.
First investiture attempt
Initially, negotiation talks went smoothly, with both parties being confident and optimistic on 21 July of an agreement being reached by the time of Sánchez's second investiture voting within four days, in which only a simple majority—that could be achieved with the support of Unidas Podemos, Compromís and the PRC and the abstention of ERC—would be needed for success. With promising advances on programmatic contents, the issue still remained on what Podemos's position in the cabinet would be, with the PSOE stressing its dominance of the so-called "state ministries" (Foreign Affairs, Justice, Defense and Interior) and disputes on the Finance, Labour, Social Security and Ecological Transition portfolios. Pedro Sánchez's investiture debate was scheduled to start at 12:00 CEST (UTC+2) on 22 July with Sánchez's speech, to be followed by the replies of all other parties and a first round of voting on 23 July, with a second and final balloting on 25 July if required.

Post-November 2019 election developments
Immediately after the election, the PSOE ruled out a grand coalition with the PP as a way to end the deadlock. On 12 November, PSOE and Podemos announced a pre-agreement for a full four-year coalition government; such an agreement, if securing the parliamentary support from regional and nationalist parties, would see the first coalition government since the Second Spanish Republic.
On 23 November the PSOE and the PSC held membership votes on the pre-agreement with Unidas Podemos; this was approved by 94.7% and 93.3% of the participants.
On 27 November, Podemos held a membership vote on the pre-agreement with the Socialist party, which was approved by 96.8% of the participants. United Left held a similar membership vote between 22 and November in which 88% of the participants approved the pre-agreement.

The Kamchatka brown bear (Ursus arctos beringianus), also known as the Far Eastern brown bear, or in , is a subspecies of brown bear.
Description
The Kamchatka brown bear is the biggest brown bear in Eurasia, with a body length of to tall on hind legs, and a weight up to at least . It is about the size of the Kodiak bear; however, the skull is broader than that of the Ussuri brown bear, and compared to that of the Kodiak bear, the breadth of the skull is much greater in proportion to its length, the anterior narial opening is much shorter, and the molars differ in relative size and form. The greatest skull length for males is , and they are wide, while the skulls of females measure in length and in width. Fur colour is predominantly dark brown with a violet tint. Light coloured individuals are rarely encountered.
Distribution
It is native to the Anadyrsky District, the Kamchatka Peninsula, Karaginskiy Island, the Kuril Islands, the coastal strip west of the Sea of Okhotsk southward to the Stanovoy Range, and the Shantar Islands in the Far East. Outside the former Soviet Union, the subspecies occurs in Saint Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea. It is closely related to one clade of brown bears in Alaska and northwest North America, and is thought to be the ancestor of the Kodiak bear.
Behaviour and ecology
In the summer period they feed on blueberries, crowberries, humpback salmon, and steelhead. In autumn, they eat nuts from nut-pines and mountain ash, and fish. In times of famine they eat dead fish or marine mammals, berries, and graminoid vegetation.
Relationship with humans
Kamchatka brown bears are generally not dangerous to humans, and only 1% of encounters result in attack. The first Europeans who went to Kamchatka in the 19th century, although surprised by the number and size of bears there, observed that they were relatively harmless, compared to their Siberian counterparts. However, in July 2008, a platinum-mining compound in the Olyutorsky District of Kamchatka Krai was besieged by a group of 30 starving bears who killed two guards.
Trophy hunting
Kamchatka brown bears are among the most prized trophies for the Russian hunting industry. In 2005 the Kamchatka Department of Wildlife Management issued 500 hunting permits. Clients paid up to $10,000 to hunt bears. Thus, the economic impacts from recreational hunting of Kamchatka brown bears are significant. The recreational hunting of Kamchatka Brown Bears has led to endangerment of the species in Russia

Serafix (1949–1973) was a purebred Arabian stallion, who was imported to California in 1954 by John Rogers from the Crabbet Arabian Stud in England. Serafix was a chestnut with a blaze, two white socks and a near half-sock. He also was noted for his bold demeanor, charismatic behavior, and excellent movement.
He had a successful show record in England, and after his arrival in America, Serafix was shown twice in 1954, and placed reserve champion in both shows. In 1955 he was grand champion and champion stallion at Pomona, California. In 1957 and '58 he was shown once each year and won champion stallion both years.
Rogers only stood Serafix to his own mares for many years, only opening his book to the public in 1971, two years before the horse's death.

An oshibori ( or ), or hot towel in English, is a wet hand towel offered to customers in places such as restaurants or bars, and used to clean one's hands before eating. Oshibori have long been part of hospitality culture in Japan: in the Tale of Genji era, it was used for visitors; during the Edo period it was used in hatago; later, it started to be used in many restaurants. It eventually spread to worldwide use. Cold oshibori are used in summer, and hot oshibori in winter. In Japan, October 29 has been observed as the day of oshibori since 2004.
Etymology
The word oshibori comes from the Japanese verb , meaning "to wring", with the honorific prefix o-. In Japanese script, the word oshibori is normally written in hiragana (), and seldom using kanji ( or ).
Oshibori are also known as o-tefuki; tefuki refers to ordinary handkerchiefs, and these derive from the Japanese (hand) and , to wipe.
In mah-jong parlors, the words atsushibo and tsumeshibo, from the Japanese adjectives , hot, and , cold, are sometimes used to refer to hot and cold oshibori respectively.
Typical oshibori
A typical oshibori, made of cloth, is dampened with water and wrung. It is then placed on the dining table for customers to wipe their hands before or during the meal. The oshibori is often rolled or folded and given to the customer on some kind of tray. Even if a tray is not used, it is usually rolled up into a long, thin shape, although this is not necessarily the case with oshibori provided with, say, bento lunch boxes.
Many establishments also give out towels made of non-woven cloth or paper, which are generally used once and then disposed of. Paper ones sometimes contain a sterilizing agent such as alcohol or stabilized chlorine dioxide. Paper oshibori, as well as cloth oshibori, are often folded and sealed into a plastic wrapping for inclusion with packaged products such as bento lunch boxes in convenience stores, or to pass out at weddings, corporate events, or hospitality-related venues.
Hot and cold oshibori
An oshibori can be moistened with hot water at an appropriate temperature or steam to make a hot oshibori, or placed damp into a refrigerator to make a cold oshibori suitable for use in summer. Restaurants usually use an electric appliance such as a heating cabinet or refrigerator for this.
Rented oshibori
As many establishments use oshibori in large quantities, they often do not prepare them in the store, but instead employ a rental service which launders them, rolls them into the typical cylindrical shape, and delivers them already damp. These rental service companies frequently wrap each oshibori individually in a clear, lightweight plastic seal (polyethylene film), which can be easily broken and removed by the customer before using.
Oshibori dispensers
Some beauty salons and dental clinics prefer to use a standalone oshibori dispenser, where a freshly made towel is prepared at the client's request. In this case, the towels are often made of a non-woven fiber.
Around the world
Oshibori is usually translated as "hot towel". Most airlines distribute hot towels to first and business class passengers prior to the first meal on long haul flights. The heated towel used in barbers’ shops to moisturize the skin or beard and make it easier to shave can also be thought of as a type of oshibori. Oshibori Towels are becoming more and more prevalent at hospitality businesses in various countries, as people (and hosts) discover this touch of Japanese hospitality is suitable anywhere there are hosts wanting to connect with their visitors and show that they care.

A loveseat can be one of two styles of two-seat chair.
One form – also known as "British two-seaters" – is essentially synonymous with "two-seat couch". It typically has two upholstered seats.
Another form, variously also known as a tête-à-tête, courting bench, kissing bench, gossip's chair, or conversation bench, is any form of two-seat furniture where the two seats are arranged in an S shape, so that two persons can converse while looking at each other and being within arm's reach, while at the same time typically retaining a modest barrier between them.
History
While chairs wide enough to seat multiple people are not a novel concept, wide upholstered chairs intended for one person became popular towards the end of the 1700s to accommodate the wider dresses in fashion then, and these began to be marketed and sold as "loveseats" in the early 1800s.
The tête-à-tête style loveseat became popular in the Victorian era, and the design may have initially arisen in France.

In electrocardiography, during a cardiac cycle, once an action potential is initiated, there is a period of time that a new action potential cannot be initiated. This is termed the effective refractory period (ERP) of the tissue. This period is approximately equal to the absolute refractory period (ARP), it occurs because the fast sodium channels remain closed until the cell fully repolarizes.
During this period, depolarization on adjacent cardiac muscles does not produce a new depolarization in the current cell as it has to refract back to phase 4 of the action potential before a new action potential can activate it. ERP acts as a protective mechanism and keeps the heart rate in check and prevents arrhythmias, and it helps coordinates muscle contraction. Anti-arrhythmic agents used for arrhythmias usually prolong the ERP. For the treatment of atrial fibrillation, it is a problem that the prolongation of the ERP by these agents also affects the ventricles, which can induce other types of arrhythmias.

Beige ([bæːʂ], [bɛːɕ] eller [bεːɧ]) är en ljus gul- och gråaktig färg.
Termen kommer ursprungligen från beige kläde, ett ofärgat ulltyg. Det har därefter kommit att användas för en rad ljusa färgskalor och är ofta använt för att beteckna ljust bruna färger.
”Beige” används ibland som symbol eller metafor för tråkighet och allmän likgiltighet. Jämför här den beige kunden i TV-serien Macken. Någon färg med namnet beige finns inte bland de ursprungliga HTML-färgerna eller webbfärgerna (X11). I andra källor ges beige färgkoordinaterna i boxen härintill.

Used to collect offerings, a saisen box is typically a wooden coin box, with a grate for the top cover. This design allows coins to be tossed in, while still preventing the money from being retrieved easily. Some have grates made of round bars, or have borders that slope downward, allowing the money to slide into the box easily.

A swift is a tool used to hold a hank of yarn while it is being wound off (uncoiled from the hank and rewound in a form usable for knitting or crochet). It has an adjustable diameter so that it can hold hanks of many sizes, and rotates around a central rod. Developed in the United States, they are generally made out of wood or metal, though other materials may also be used. In the 18th and 19th centuries, swifts were sometimes made of whale ivory and they are now sought-after antiques. Swifts are not used very much in the textile industry but are used more by knitters and crocheters who buy their yarn in hank form. The swift allows for easy balling without the yarn getting tangled and knotted.
Typology
A swift can be as simple as four rods fixed into an axis, with bands connecting them. By sliding the bands the effective diameter changes, for different sized hanks. However, most swifts are more complicated than this.
The 'umbrella swift' is one of the more common varieties, the advantage of it being that it folds up when not in use. Wooden umbrella swifts are the most common type of swift in use. They are preferred by hand spinners because they fold up, which is good for storage, and they are generally more stable, of higher quality, and look nicer than metal umbrella swifts.
Another type is the 'Amish style' swift, a rotating cross with positionable pegs to adjust for different diameters of hanks.
A spinners weasel is similar to a swift, however it does not adjust to various sized hanks. While today this is a big disadvantage, as different manufacturers don't always make hanks the same size, it was not an issue when all yarn was hand spun. At this time hanks from one spinner would all be the same size, as they would have been made on the same niddy noddy, thus only one diameter was needed.
Common substitutes
In the modern day spinners' weasels are even less common than swifts.
One substitute for a swift is to have someone else hold the hank. This has several disadvantages however, first a willing second person has to be found, and secondly unless the other person has had a lot of practice holding hanks, the yarn winds off a swift much better. Yarn tends to catch on the hands and wristwatches of the person holding the hank, and a swift has neither hand nor watch to catch the yarn.
Another common substitute is the back of a chair. The disadvantages of this is that the hank is not kept under tension, and thus the yarn has a tendency to get tangled, and one has to stop very often to untangle it.
Uses
Swifts are most commonly used to ball a hank of yarn. An increasing percentage of yarn is sold in hank form, especially hand dyed or hand spun yarns, which necessitates balling for knitters and crocheters. Swifts are also sometimes used by weavers in preparing the warp: if the yarn for the warp comes in a hank, the warp can be wound directly onto the warping board from the swift. As weaving yarns generally come on cones though, this use isn't as prevalent.

The United States Federal Budget for Fiscal Year 2016 began as a budget proposed by President Barack Obama to fund government operations for October 1, 2015 – September 30, 2016.
The requested budget was submitted to the 114th Congress on February 2, 2015.
The government was initially funded through a series of three temporary continuing resolutions. The final funding package was passed as an omnibus spending bill, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, enacted on December 18, 2015.
Background
The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) had established spending caps on defense and non-defense spending. These were first applied in FY2013; they resulted in across-the-board sequestration cuts because that budget was funded through a full-year continuing resolution that exceeded the budget caps. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 increased the budget caps for FY2014 and FY2015 by $45 billion and $18 billion, respectively.
Concern was expressed that the BCA caps for defense were far below the Obama administration's budget request and would lead to cuts relative to these increased levels. Although the word "sequestration" was widely applied to refer to these cuts, even a continuing resolution would not cause another round of across-the-board sequestration cuts as in 2013 because the FY2016 discretionary defense cap is still slightly larger than the FY2015 cap in nominal terms.
The budget and appropriations legislation will be the first passed since Republicans gained majorities in both houses of the United States Congress in the 2014 midterm elections.
Budget proposals
The Obama administration's budget was transmitted to Congress on February 2, 2015. The administration requested funding levels for discretionary spending that were 7% over the budget caps specified in the Budget Control Act of 2011, roughly equally split between defense and non-defense programs. It envisioned large tax increases on corporations and the wealthy, which were expected to be opposed by Congress, to fund programs in education and infrastructure.
Congress passed its budget resolution in May 2015. It was the first budget resolution successfully passed by Congress in over five years. Congressional budget resolutions are non-binding and largely symbolic, in that the actual spending levels are specified in much greater detail in the appropriations bills to be passed later in the year. The bill envisioned increasing military spending and decreasing social programs, with the goal of having a balanced budget by 2025. The passage of a budget resolution opened the way for budget reconciliation procedures to be used to repeal the Affordable Care Act on a simple majority vote, although a presidential veto of such legislation was expected.
Related legislation
It was expected that a continuing resolution would be required to fund the government past October 1, 2015. However, conservative Republicans were expected to oppose any funding bill that did not defund Planned Parenthood as a result of the recent controversy. In addition, the chances of a government shutdown were thought to be increased due to controversies over reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, the need to increase the debt limit, disagreements over changing the defense and non-defense spending caps, continuing debate over the Iran nuclear deal, and keeping the Highway Trust Fund from running out of money. However, the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2016 was passed on September 30, 2015, funding the government through December 11 at roughly the same levels as FY2015, without any other policy provisions favored by conservatives. The bill was passed in large part due to the announcement a week earlier of John Boehner's resignation as Speaker of the House.
The House passed the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015 on October 23, 2015 under the budget reconciliation process, which prevents the possibility of a filibuster in the Senate. The bill would partially repeal the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, notably the individual and employer mandates as well as the taxes on Cadillac insurance plans. Some conservatives in both the House and Senate opposed the bill because it did not completely repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would have been inconsistent with the rules governing budget reconciliation bills. The bill was the 61st time that the House had voted to fully or partially repeal the Affordable Care act. The bill also would remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood for one year. The bill was expected to be vetoed by President Obama should it pass the Senate.
Budget agreement
Just before midnight on October 26, 2015, Republican and Democratic leaders reached an agreement to increase the budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011 for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, and temporarily suspend the debt limit until March 15, 2017.
The agreement authorizes $80 billion in increased spending over two years, which is to be offset by changes in Medicare, Social Security disability insurance, selling off oil from the strategic petroleum reserves, and other changes. The deal also repeals a provision of the Affordable Care Act, not yet in effect, which would require businesses that offer one or more health plans and have more than 200 employees to automatically enroll new full-time employees in a health plan. John Boehner said the compromise was intended to "clean out the barn" before Paul Ryan took over as Speaker of the House.
The bill, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, passed the House with a vote of 266–167, with just over two-thirds of Republicans voting against the bill, and all Democrats and the remaining Republicans voting for passage, with one not voting. The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 64–35, with 35 Republicans voting against. It was signed by the President on November 2, 2015. The Treasury had estimated that extraordinary measures used to fund the government beyond October 1 would likely be exhausted no later than November 3.
Subsequent developments
Congress passed a five-day extension of the continuing resolution on December 11, 2015. A bipartisan deal to pass the appropriations legislation, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, was announced on December 15.
In early December, the Senate passed an amended version of the healthcare reconciliation bill, sending it back to the House. It was passed by the House on January 6, 2016, and vetoed by President Obama on January 8, only the sixth veto of his presidency. The House failed to override the President's veto on February on a vote of 241–186, which did not meet the required two-thirds supermajority.

Funnel ball is a playground game where a ball is thrown into a funnel with multiple exit holes.
A relatively large fiberglass or plastic funnel, roughly in diameter with a 50 degree pitch, is placed atop a post. The exits of the funnel are multiple holes or tubes, projected parallel to the ground, and spaced equally around the bottom. Play consists of tossing a ball (such as a basketball or small medicine ball) into the mouth of the funnel and waiting for it to exit through one of the holes. Each hole is marked with a point value, e.g. 2, 4, 6, and 10 points. The ball usually bounces around inside the funnel for a short time, making the outcome of the shot nearly random, and shots which exit through the desired hole are unlikely.
There is no formal score to which games are played, and games can be played with high score winner or low score winner. Both team and "every-player-for-themselves" games are commonplace. There are four players that play in the circle and up to 12 players that wait in line.
Funnel Ball was invented an employee of BCI Burke playground equipment company in 1972.

The Kable House is an Italianate building from 1873 on the Mary Baldwin University campus. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1979. It is a two-story, five-bay brick house on a raised basement.
Construction started in 1873, and was completed in 1874, for John W. Alby. In 1884, Captain William Hartman Kable purchased the house and opened the Staunton Male Academy (which was renamed again in 1886 to Staunton Military Academy, at the same location) in the building.
The house was remodeled in 1917 by T.J. Collins architectural firm, and added indoor plumbing and a kitchen, as well as some modifications to the exterior.
Staunton Military Academy continued to operate until 1976, at which time the building was purchased by Mary Baldwin College.

Caesium peroxide or cesium peroxide is a compound of caesium and oxygen. It can be formed from caesium metal by adding a stoichiometric amount in ammonia solution, or oxidizing the solid metal directly.
2Cs + O2 → Cs2O2
It can also be formed by the thermal decomposition of caesium superoxide:
2CsO2 → Cs2O2 + O2
Upon heating until 650°C, the compound will decompose to caesium monoxide and atomic oxygen:
Caesium peroxide shows a Raman vibration at 743 cm−1, due to the presence of the peroxide ions. The compound is often used as a coating for photocathodes, due to its low work function.
